:00:00. > :00:07.Our top story: A scathing report into the conduct of world
:00:08. > :00:13.But it backs Sebastian Coe as the man to sort out the mess,
:00:14. > :00:16.saying his predecessor, Lamine Diack, had been the one
:00:17. > :00:22.responsible for organising and enabling conspiracy and corruption.
:00:23. > :00:26.My responsibility is to, of course, absorb the lessons of the past
:00:27. > :00:44.And the changes that I am making, I think, will do that.
:00:45. > :00:47.A series of explosions and running gun battles in the Indonesian
:00:48. > :00:50.capital leads residents to run for cover.
:00:51. > :01:07.The so-called Islamic State says it was behind the Jakarta attack.
:01:08. > :01:10.Film audiences worldwide certainly loved Alan Rickman.
:01:11. > :01:14.We look at the career and charisma of the award-winning British actor
:01:15. > :01:18.Also coming up: The Revenant, starring Leonardo DiCaprio,
:01:19. > :01:42.Another desperately damaging day for athletics.
:01:43. > :01:44.A report by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the WADA,
:01:45. > :01:48.says top officials at athletics' governing body, the IAAF,
:01:49. > :01:52.must have known about the scale of doping in Russia while it also
:01:53. > :01:56.detailed the IAAF's bribery and extortion of athletes,
:01:57. > :01:58.which it says came from the very top.
:01:59. > :02:17.Investigators believe this is merely the tip of the iceberg. A series of
:02:18. > :02:23.damaging revelations, blackmail and cover-ups laid bare in a damaging
:02:24. > :02:29.new report. The former President is facing prosecution in France but the
:02:30. > :02:33.report authors insist corruption was embedded in the organisation. It
:02:34. > :02:39.cannot be ignored or dismissed as they tribute to the odd renegade.
:02:40. > :02:43.The authors also outlined how individuals within the ruling
:02:44. > :02:47.council must have been aware of the doping concerns and the Law
:02:48. > :02:54.enforcement of rules. -- nonenforcement. Lord Coe joined that
:02:55. > :02:59.body in 2007 and has previously insisted he was not aware of the
:03:00. > :03:03.scale of the problems but today he received crucial backing as the
:03:04. > :03:06.current President to deliver reform. It is a fabulous opportunity to
:03:07. > :03:14.seize this opportunity and under It is a fabulous opportunity to
:03:15. > :03:17.strong leadership to move forward. There is an enormous amount of
:03:18. > :03:25.reputational recovery that has to occur here and I can't think of
:03:26. > :03:31.anyone better than Lord Coe to lead that. Lord Coe is now attempting to
:03:32. > :03:36.rebuild faith in his sport and this evening has acknowledged the past
:03:37. > :03:44.systemic failings. We needed to know more about that and we didn't and
:03:45. > :03:49.that was because our corporate governance is were clearly not good
:03:50. > :03:53.enough and too much power and subsequently malign influence got
:03:54. > :03:58.into the hands of too few people. The report also claims there may
:03:59. > :04:04.have been corruption in how World Championship or cities were
:04:05. > :04:08.selected. The IAAF must now decide how it responds to this latest blow
:04:09. > :04:10.to its reputation. We're joined now by the our sports
:04:11. > :04:21.reporter, Alex Capstick. Do you think said co-'s job is
:04:22. > :04:24.secure here? Certainly his every move will be scrutinised very
:04:25. > :04:34.closely, given the scale of the problems which had been identified
:04:35. > :04:37.that have come from within the IAAF. The problems within Russia, doping
:04:38. > :04:42.on an industrial scale, and now this corruption conspiracy, bribery,
:04:43. > :04:50.taking place at the very top of the organisation. Sebastien co-'s
:04:51. > :04:56.predecessor had a very small group that bribed Russian athletes who
:04:57. > :05:02.were potential... Who had potentially tested positive for
:05:03. > :05:04.doping and bribe them. The money was sent a company in Singapore and they
:05:05. > :05:10.were getting away scot-free. sent a company in Singapore and they
:05:11. > :05:14.have been found out and Lord Coe now has to rebuild the integrity of the
:05:15. > :05:19.organisation which, at the moment, lies in tatters. He says he's the
:05:20. > :05:23.man to do that. He arrived today at this press conference which is a
:05:24. > :05:27.surprise on himself. He was confidence he would not be tainted
:05:28. > :05:31.by this scandal and he believes he is the man to take this organisation
:05:32. > :05:35.forward and to take it out of the mess it finds itself in right. This
:05:36. > :05:40.is a very damning report mess it finds itself in right. This
:05:41. > :05:43.anyone really pay for the corruption mess it finds itself in right. This
:05:44. > :05:58.of world athletics? It depends who you are talking about. As far as
:05:59. > :06:02.Liam Diack is concerned and his son, they are under a police
:06:03. > :06:09.investigation. It is conducted by the French authorities. We will have
:06:10. > :06:12.to see how that plays out. The lady leading that organisation was here
:06:13. > :06:17.today. She gave us an update on their findings so far. Liam Diack
:06:18. > :06:19.accused of pocketing 1 million euros in bribes. They are in the firing
:06:20. > :06:25.line but have denied any in bribes. They are in the firing
:06:26. > :06:28.And then of course Russia itself is in a race against time to get a
:06:29. > :06:39.clean bill of health before the real Olympics. On Monday, the UN found
:06:40. > :06:43.horrifying conditions in Syria while delivering aid to the people trapped
:06:44. > :06:46.there surrounded by government forces. A small convoy is en route
:06:47. > :06:48.to two towns. The Saudi Foreign Minister,
:06:49. > :06:51.Adel al-Jubeir, is in London, where he's held talks
:06:52. > :06:53.with the US Secretary of State, At issue is whether talks with Syria
:06:54. > :06:59.scheduled for later this month will go ahead after relations
:07:00. > :07:00.between Saudi and Iran reached Our chief international
:07:01. > :07:23.correspondent, Lyse Doucet, Can these talks go ahead? Yes. It
:07:24. > :07:27.was the breakthrough in Saudi Arabia which allowed this progress we are
:07:28. > :07:32.seeing on the diplomatic and political front and moving towards
:07:33. > :07:39.the beginning of at least a dialogue on how to end this punishing war in
:07:40. > :07:43.Syria. Just after the New Year began, Saudi Arabia severed
:07:44. > :07:48.diplomatic relationships with Iran. Would it affect other issues? When I
:07:49. > :07:54.sat down with the Saudi foreign ministry in London, that is what I
:07:55. > :08:01.said. We hope they will. The Syrian opposition was gathered together in
:08:02. > :08:05.an unprecedented move. All of the factions were represented. They
:08:06. > :08:10.agreed a platform and vision for Syria. They agreed on what the new
:08:11. > :08:15.Syria would look like. And they picked their negotiating team. So
:08:16. > :08:20.now they are ready. It is the regime that has been dragging its feet. We
:08:21. > :08:25.will see. It said many things before that they did not comply with. We
:08:26. > :08:33.hope that talks will begin on the 25th so we can launch the process
:08:34. > :08:39.that will assume power from the regime. That will then move towards
:08:40. > :08:43.writing in new constitution. We hope that during the interim periods of
:08:44. > :08:49.this transition period, Bashar al-Assad will exit because he has no
:08:50. > :08:53.role to play. If the talks go ahead, you will have to sit at the same
:08:54. > :09:00.table as you are on. Will you be able to work together now you don't
:09:01. > :09:05.have diplomatic relations? Well, I think that the talks will be between
:09:06. > :09:15.Syrians and Syrians. We will not be round the table. But we are
:09:16. > :09:21.committed to the process in Syria, we are committed to what is called
:09:22. > :09:26.the Geneva principles and principles enshrined in the UN Security Council
:09:27. > :09:30.resolutions. You have talked with John Kerry. He is possibly leaving
:09:31. > :09:36.London to go to an announcement that sanctions will be lifted. Did you
:09:37. > :09:41.have concerns? We have concerns about Iran's behaviour in general.
:09:42. > :09:48.It is a country that has to decide whether it is a revolution or nation
:09:49. > :09:52.state. If it is a revolution, it is irrational and impulsive, difficult
:09:53. > :09:57.to deal with. If it is the nation state, they tend
:09:58. > :10:00.to deal with. If it is the nation rational actors and they know their
:10:01. > :10:05.limits and they work on the basis of what is mutually beneficial. With
:10:06. > :10:13.Iran, we are not sure, we don't know if it is a revolution or nation
:10:14. > :10:16.state. We hope it will see itself but what we have seen in the last 35
:10:17. > :10:21.years is a country that has used murder, terrorism, sectarianism,
:10:22. > :10:27.that has interfered in the affairs of others in the region in a very
:10:28. > :10:30.destructive and destabilising manner. That is what concerns us.
:10:31. > :10:37.They also have concerns about you and your behaviour in the region,
:10:38. > :10:42.your decision to cut off ties. What business does run have on it? It
:10:43. > :10:46.kills more than 100,000 people a year. That is their business. We
:10:47. > :10:53.don't know why they are put to death. In our case, it was
:10:54. > :11:01.transparent. Iran is arguing this man was a man of religion but he was
:11:02. > :11:05.a terrorist. He was recruiting, inciting, equipping, plotting and
:11:06. > :11:09.executing terrorist attacks to the death of a number of security
:11:10. > :11:12.officials. That is why he was sentenced to death. With all due
:11:13. > :11:19.respect to Iran, they have no business interfering with our
:11:20. > :11:22.judiciary. The last thing they can say is that Saudi Arabia engage in
:11:23. > :11:29.any kind of aggression towards them. We had been on the receiving end of
:11:30. > :11:35.their aggression for decades now. That is a snapshot of the acrimony
:11:36. > :11:45.there is. Run levels back the same accusations at Saudi Arabia. It
:11:46. > :11:51.depends on these two big powerhouses finding a better way forward.
:11:52. > :11:51.A series of explosions and gun attacks has rocked the Indonesian
:11:52. > :11:53.capital, Jakarta, leaving at least seven people dead.
:11:54. > :11:55.One explosion hit a branch of Starbucks cafe outside
:11:56. > :12:00.That was followed by a shooting at a police post and a series
:12:01. > :12:05.It all took place in a central area of the city, where there are several
:12:06. > :12:14.From high above, nervous onlookers watched in disbelief
:12:15. > :12:33.It was a battle in the main street, running through central Jakarta.
:12:34. > :12:37.Suddenly, there was panic, another bomb.
:12:38. > :12:40.And the crowds of shoppers and office workers scattered.
:12:41. > :12:46.The attackers then targeted a police box and engaged offices
:12:47. > :12:54.At this stage, they had no idea how many gunmen they were dealing with.
:12:55. > :13:04.One of the perpetrators was caught here, chillingly on camera.
:13:05. > :13:06.I was riding a motorbike when suddenly, the explosion went
:13:07. > :13:10.I saw people running away and two people lying
:13:11. > :13:13.I also saw two people on a motorbike with a backpack
:13:14. > :13:18.and they are the guys who threw the bomb.
:13:19. > :13:23.When we got near the Starbucks, there were two pistol shots
:13:24. > :13:27.followed by more explosions, up to eight.
:13:28. > :13:34.Then I saw the policeman lying by the traffic lights.
:13:35. > :13:37.Armoured vehicles were deployed and, within five hours, the authorities
:13:38. > :13:50.Five of the attackers lay dead along with two of their victims.
:13:51. > :13:52.But as they gathered evidence from the scene,
:13:53. > :14:00.Police trying to holdback crowds for fear of further explosions.
:14:01. > :14:03.We give our condolences on the occurrence of these events.
:14:04. > :14:07.We condemn actions that disrupt public security and disturb
:14:08. > :14:14.the peace of the people and sow terror.
:14:15. > :14:18.Indonesia had been bracing itself for just such an attack
:14:19. > :14:24.It's been six years since the last major bombing in the city andthat's
:14:25. > :14:31.But the war in Syria and the rise of Islamic State has reinvigorated
:14:32. > :14:38.And what we saw today may be the first consequence of that.
:14:39. > :14:41.Once again, the city finds itself cleaning up after an ambitious
:14:42. > :14:45.terrorist operation, knowing it could have been a lot
:14:46. > :14:50.more serious and that there may well be more to come.
:14:51. > :14:53.And you can get more information about the attacks in Jakarta
:14:54. > :14:58.We've much more on how the events unfolded,
:14:59. > :15:05.who carried out the attack and the latest images and video.

:15:12. > :15:16.in West Africa is over after no new cases have emerged in Liberia

:15:30. > :15:32.when it emerged the company's offices were searched
:15:33. > :15:37.Market analysts suggested the search might be linked to the Volkswagen

:16:21. > :16:22.Many of us will know him instantly from his languid diction
:16:23. > :16:27.His films ranged from the villain in the Hollywood blockbuster
:16:28. > :16:35.Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to Jane Austin's Sense and Sensibility.
:16:36. > :16:43.Jamie, the ghost of Truly Madly Deeply.

:17:26. > :17:26.He trained here at Rada more than 40 years ago,
:17:27. > :17:27.brought up in a west London council estate,

:20:01. > :20:03.good or not and it's gotten a great response,
:20:04. > :20:08.It's a Western of sorts, an epic tale of endurance made
:20:09. > :20:16.Did you have any idea when you were making it,
:20:17. > :20:20.that this film would have the sort of impact it has had?
:20:21. > :20:24.The weirdest thing for me is that after so many months of seeing
:20:25. > :20:30.ourselves so full of beards and hair, smelling so bad and dirty,
:20:31. > :20:31.to see ourselves in tuxedos celebrating with champagne,

:21:04. > :21:08.Everything about this film was big, including the budget overspend.
:21:09. > :21:12.Was there any point, Alejandro, when two words came into your mind
:21:13. > :21:14.when you were making this film - Heaven's Gate?

:22:08. > :22:10.Valuables worth an estimated ?14 million were stolen in what's
:22:11. > :22:15.believed to be the largest heist in British history.
:22:16. > :22:23.Our correspondent, Daniel Sandford, reports.
:22:24. > :22:27.At first, it seemed like the perfect crime, Britain's biggest burglary,
:22:28. > :22:35.millions of pounds stolen from under the feet of London's diamonddealers.
:22:36. > :22:37.But, in fact, the ageing thieves were struggling with infirmity,

:23:26. > :23:28.He checked the external doors but, as the police hadn't responded
:23:29. > :23:31.to the alarm, he left as the drilling continued
:23:32. > :23:36.The next morning, the gang drove off in their van,
:23:37. > :23:42.having failed to break into the vault.
:23:43. > :23:51.But two nights later, they returned, and this time, they got in. We
:23:52. > :23:55.couldn't resist seeing how easy was to actually get through. I am told
:23:56. > :24:02.it is possible. It looks very tight. I'm also told the best way to do is
:24:03. > :24:13.to use the Superman pose. That is difficult. I think you need to be
:24:14. > :24:15.pushed from behind. OK. Got my hand out now. Once that hand out, it's
