This is BBC World News Today, broadcasting in the UK and around | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
the world. The top story: a huge snowstorm starts to | :00:12. | :00:22. | |
hit the east coast of the United States. 50 million people are | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
expected to be affected by the blizzard and state of emergency is | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
declared in some areas. This is a city in shutdown. People have been | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
told to stay at home as this potentially crippling storm hits the | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
nation 's capital. Satellite images | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
reveal the first evidence of a growing US presence | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
in northern Syria. More than 40 | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
migrants drown as two boats sink, And the Oscars race row. The Academy | :00:50. | :01:03. | |
pledges to double the members of women and minorities. | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
Hello and welcome to the problem. A powerful snowstorm has just reached | :01:14. | :01:20. | |
the east coast of the United States, with some forecasters predicting | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
Snow-mageddon, the heaviest snowfall in 100 years. The extreme weather | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
has led to a state of emergency in Washington, DC, the federal | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
government is shutdown and the transport system closed. More than | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
3,000 flights have been cancelled across America, at least eight | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
people have died in traffic accidents. Members of the public are | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
being advised not to travel where possible. Six states have declared a | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
state of emergency. The National Weather Service said the storm could | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
affect well over people. Our North American editor Jon Sopel reports. | :01:57. | :02:14. | |
A massive blizzard takes aim at 75 million Americans. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
The north-eastern seaboard of the United States is bracing | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
itself for a once in a hundred years event. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
Washington, DC is bracing itself for a combination of epic snowfall, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
A state of emergency is in place and the public transport network | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
is shutting down and apocalyptic warnings are being given. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
I want to be very clear with everybody, we see this | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
It has life and death implications and all of the residents | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
of the District of Columbia should treat it that way. | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
Folks need to understand that this is a life-threatening storm. | :02:41. | :02:48. | |
If you do not need to be out, we are asking folks to, | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
by three o'clock today, be where they are going to be | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
People are taking heed, if the lines in shops are anything | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
to go by, by yesterday afternoon the supermarket in Washington had | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
Hardware shops too have been doing a roaring trade. | :03:06. | :03:17. | |
It is crazy, there is no bread and no milk. | :03:18. | :03:32. | |
It is like Snowmageddon from a couple of years ago | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
A little snow did fall on Wednesday, and it caused total chaos | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
No one was exempt, not even a passenger on this flight, | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
the President returned from Detroit only to find his armoured limo | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
and the rest of the motorcade caught in the gridlock | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Two feet is forecast to fall over the next 36 hours. | :04:01. | :04:15. | |
Let's go to Washington and speak to Laura Bicker, who is outside in the | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
snow. Are people following the advice to get home? There seems to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
be a lot of people who have heeded the warnings and certainly, this | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
forecast has been in place for several days now. I think some | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
people thought, is it too much? Are these apocalyptic warnings going too | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
far? Well, it does seem now that the forecasters are fairly confident | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
they have it right. People have been heading home, these are the | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
tail-enders of traffic of people heading home from work. People | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
already out trying to clear roads and pavements but it is expected, as | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
the snow continues to fall, and certainly into the early hours of | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
Saturday, the snowploughs and shovels will not be able to keep up. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
There is a warning that perhaps over 20 inches of snow could fall in | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
parts of Washington, DC. The previous record was in 1922, 20 | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
eight inches of snow, so that could be near, or there are fears it could | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
be surpassed -- 28 inches. People are hunkering down, including | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
President Obama, who said he will be hunkering down in the White House | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
for the duration of the storm, which could last up to 36 hours and | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
already, the snow is beginning to fall. This is just the edge of it. | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
It has tracked north, so there have been several inches of snow in | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Kentucky, Arkansas, also in Tennessee, and it is expected by the | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
end of this storm that one in seven of Americans could have up to a foot | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
of snow outside their front door. What about looking after the more | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
vulnerable members of the society? Are the National Guard out, for | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
example? Certainly in Virginia, 300 members of the National Guard have | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
been called in to help. Other places, as you have heard, a state | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
of emergency has been declared, which allows them to access funds to | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
get extra help. There are people mobilising and getting ready for | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
early tomorrow morning, because they are expecting that by the early | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
hours of Saturday morning, the snow will begin to fall and be at its | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
heaviest, so certainly that is when you will see most of the cruise | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
mobilising. But when it comes to empty shells, if you haven't got | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
food by now, you could be struggling to get it. Get back inside into the | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
warm, Laura, thank you very much. Washington isn't the only city in | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
the world which experiences heavy snowfall at this time of the year. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
The BBC International correspondence have been looking at the winter | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
weather where they are and have sent this message. | :06:57. | :07:11. | |
We have watched with mounting concern as that monster storm has | :07:12. | :07:26. | |
barrelled towards you. So reassurance from cities around the | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
world. About how they cope, or don't cope, with snow. | :07:32. | :07:41. | |
This time of the year, in Kabul, it used to be pretty cold, -5, on | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
average, but this year, it feels very warm, it feels like spring. | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
In January, it snowed in Moscow, as for most of this week but for us, | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
even the heaviest of snow is not a problem, but for those who drive, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
heavy snow can become a big issue if the authorities decide to send | :08:08. | :08:17. | |
10,000 sweepers all-out at once. Hello, DC. Here in Geneva, we | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
haven't had too much snow yet but we certainly are prepared. This is | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
Switzerland, after all. And we have got more snow coping tools that the | :08:27. | :08:35. | |
Swiss Army knife. -- can pay. Hello. So, when it snows in London, it is | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
on the front pages of all the newspapers, we love taking pictures | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
of the snow, but the trains get delayed, the buses are stopped and | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
cars start crawling along the roads. Some of us can't even make it into | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
work, so we are not very good when it comes to dealing with snow. | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
Still hasn't arrived here yet in London. Moving on. | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
by the international intelligence consultancy Stratfor indicates | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
that the United States is extending an airstrip in the north | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
This shows the lengthening of the runway from 700 metres to over 1300. | :09:20. | :09:32. | |
That's enough to land a Hercules aircraft. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
The site is located near to the town of Rmeilan. | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
American airpower has been used to help a Kurdish alliance trying | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
to repel the forces of the so called Islamic State. | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
But there are claims the US operation in the area could become | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
a lot more substantial, involving troops and helicopters. | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
Sim Tack works as a military analyst for Stratfor and says | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
The Obama administration may be changing strategy. | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
The significance of this is that this would be an important, | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
qualitative step for the US to take in its support for the SDF, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
the Syrian Defence Forces, which is one of the branches | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
of its strategy against Islamic State in Syria. | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
By supporting this group, they are guaranteeing some sort | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
of ground force that can push IS back. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
They have been supporting YPG in the past through air drops | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
and that's fairly limited, so in terms of putting an actual | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
presence on the ground or using that runway for logistical support | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
of them, that really increases the ability of the US to push | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Murad Shishani, a correspondent with the BBC World | :10:33. | :10:44. | |
I spoke to him earlier and he said it might be a riposte to Moscow's | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
greater involvement in the Syrian conflict. This is one of the biggest | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
challenges or more deep in the conflict in the Middle East as we | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
can see. Russians have their own bases, even concentrating on air | :11:02. | :11:11. | |
strikes and military experts and on the other side, Americans, always | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
banking, relying on the Kurds and taking the front lines in fighting | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
against the Islamic State. We have seen that with the Peshmerga. But | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
now they are going into north-eastern Syria, which means | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
Ankara, as we said in the introduction, but will they take | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
this part, because it is very close. It is very close to Raqqa, which is | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
a supply route to Mosul. And the Americans with air strikes, trying | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
to stop the flow of weapons and manpower for Islamic State in this | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
area, it could be very important, because they have places beyond | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
Raqqa which is one of the major routes for support for Islamic | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
State, but if we look at this development in north-eastern Syria, | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
that is the plan for the Americans as I can see it. If airdrops were | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
already taking place, why would they need to extend the runway like this, | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
bearing in mind that I think the various supported forces have | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
already retrieved a significant amount of land from Islamic State. | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
It seems to me that they want to boost support and logistics. | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Many observers say, they downplay the ideal routes on the ground one | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
Many observers say, they downplay the idea of boots on the ground one | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
But, now, in this case in Syria, for all the region. | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
American special forces overseeing it, or would | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
From local sources, in the last few days they were talking | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
They control the large area to expand the runway. | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
We don't know who is exactly going to be behind it. | :13:01. | :13:14. | |
Greek and Turkish coastguards have recovered the bodies of more than 40 | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
migrants, including 20 children, whose boat ran into trouble in the | :13:20. | :13:20. | |
Mediterranean. Dozens of other people | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
remain unaccounted for. This latest tragedy comes | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
as the Turkish and German governments held a special meeting | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
in Berlin to discuss Afterwards, a communique was signed | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
by both countries in which Turkey promised to do more to stem | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
the migrant flow into the EU. These people were trying | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
to reach Greece. In the last 24 hours, | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
more than 40 have died This baby was rushed | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
to intensive care. Europe's leaders barely | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
agreed on how to help. Today the German Chancellor met | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
the Turkish Prime Minister TRANSLATION: Deep inside, | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
I am convinced that the problem of illegal migration can only be | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
solved if we work together in fighting the root causes | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
of the refugee crisis. Europe's leaders have yet to fully | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
implement a controversial quota system to relocate 120,000 refugees | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
and migrants across Europe. They are setting up so-called | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
hotspots, special reception centres in Italy and Greece | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
from which migrants can be sent on to other countries | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
or turned away. And they offered Turkey more | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
than ?2 billion in return TRANSLATION: I want to tell people | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
in Germany and the EU that this is not a German crisis, | :14:44. | :14:51. | |
or a European crisis, We can't just pass this | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
crisis onto each other. We have to solve it | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
in Syria and in Iraq. Germany was the promised | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
land of Europe. These people told us they have | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
waited here for days and need money, but they couldn't manage these | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
people in Germany and they can't. Across Europe, | :15:18. | :15:33. | |
attitudes are hardening. Germany, after the sex | :15:34. | :15:34. | |
attacks, is divided. Germany has it half right and half | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
wrong. We have to help refugees | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
by all means but not by opening the gates and allowing | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
millions to come. You cannot plan when war | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
is in a country, so I think we're But Europe's doors are closing, | :15:49. | :16:00. | |
there will be border checks, fences, limits. | :16:01. | :16:01. | |
Politically, the refugee crisis has exposed fault lines running | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
through Europe as one by one, member states prioritise national | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
interest over European responsibility. | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
There is now a fear at the highest level. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
The German President, the French Prime Minister, | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
that the crisis as instantly testing Europe, but that it could destroy | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
that the crisis isn't simply testing Europe, | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
but that it could destroy it all together. | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
Stay with us here, still to come, we live in Los Angeles for the latest | :16:30. | :16:37. | |
on the Oscars race row. The Academy has just announced drastic changes | :16:38. | :16:38. | |
to try and increase diversity. A woman from East London who was | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
sentenced to three and a half years in prison for killing a convicted | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
paedophile has had her sentence more than doubled. Sarah Sands, a mother | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
of five, stabbed her neighbour, Michael Pleastad in November 2014 | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
after learning he had been charged with sexually assaulting young boys. | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
He was stabbed eight times and bled to death. Appeal Court judges ruled | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
the original sentence given was too lenient. The Scottish Government is | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
considering adding folic acid to flour to prevent brain and spinal | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
disorders in babies. The US has been fortifying flour for years but | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
successive UK governments have chosen not to. The substance has | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
been shown to reduce the incidents in some babies if women take it | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
before and during pregnancy. It occurs naturally in green, leafy | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
vegetables but many women don't get enough. Experts say 2,000 birth | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
anomalies could have been avoided if flour had been fortified since 1998. | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
This is BBC World News today. The latest headlines: a huge blizzard | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
has begun to hit the United States east coast, and is expected to bring | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
near record levels of snow. Satellite imagery obtained by a | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
private security forum Matthew Wade firm indicates the United states is | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
extending an airstrip in northern Syria -- obtained by other private | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
security for academic firm. Now developments over the row for the | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
Oscars. The Academy has announced they will be doubling the number of | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
female and non-white members by 2020, in response to the race | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
controversy and a number of Hollywood stars, including Spike Lee | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
and Will Smith, boycotting next month's ceremony in protest against | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
the lack of racial diversity in this year's nominations. All of the | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
actors nominated for the Oscars are white for the second consecutive | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
year. Let's go to our Los Angeles correspondent James Cook. The chair | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
of the Academy promised radical action, is this going to do enough, | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
do you think? Well, I think it is significant. It does sound like the | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
Academy is actually determined to make significant changes. The | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
president of the Academy is its first-ever black president and said | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
she was heartbroken about the Oscar nominees when, as you say, for the | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
second year in a row, all 20 of the actors and actresses in the | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
performing categories were white and there was a notable absence for one | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
film in particular, which many felt deserved the best picture | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
nomination, Straight Outta Compton. So the measures announced do go some | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
way to addressing the problem. The problem, in a sense, is about the | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
Academy's membership and in the wider industry than about individual | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
performances this year. To explain how it works, the Academy is made up | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
of around 6,000 or so voting members and that group is overwhelmingly in | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
itself white, male and over the age of 50, hence this move to try and | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
get far more diversity into that group in the next few years, and | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
they are going to do that by stripping the voting rights from | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
some of those members, not anyone that has ever been nominated for an | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Oscar and not anyone who has been in the industry for very long time, but | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
those who have not been active for the last ten years will not be | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
allowed to vote in future and they will launch a recruiting drive to | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
more people in. You have also got some fairly big name actors getting | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
involved in this debate now. I'm thinking of Charlotte Rampling and | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Michael Caine. Yes, they are getting involved almost on the other side. | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
We have seen actors such as Will Smith, saying they thought the | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
situation was an acceptable. Michael Cain and Charlotte Rampling sound | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
less sure. Charlotte Rampling, nominated this year for her | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
prominent performance in 45 Years is more cautious, suggesting the danger | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
of this is that it pushes people into categories, that people begin | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
to think of actors and, indeed, people generally, as being either | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
black or white or of a different race or ethnicity, rather than | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
focusing on the performance. She said is it not possible the | :21:11. | :21:13. | |
performances these actors gave in this particular year weren't good | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
enough? But many other people take the opposing view, or agree with her | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
to a certain extent but think, maybe or maybe not, but it isn't really | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
the point, the point is that the industry does not accurately | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
represent the United States of America and indeed the wider world. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
James, thank you very much. You are watching BBC World News today, still | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
to come, the sport. We will start with tennis and it was | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
a day when form one out at the Australian open, with wins for top | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
seeds Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, and a landmark victory for | :21:49. | :21:55. | |
former champion Roger Federer. The first man to reach 300 wins in Grand | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Slam single matches. No greater celebration from Roger Federer, he | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
is 67 wins clear of number two Jimmy Connors. The Swiss player reached | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
the milestone at rob Labour arena with a victory over a player a | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
decade younger, Grigor Dimitrov, the man to fall. It is very special and | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
you look deeper into it, where it has all happened and how and, it is | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
very nice, I'm very happy. Maria Sharapova was made to work hard for | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
the 600th win of her career, as the Russian booked her place in the last | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
16. The 2008 Australian Open champion pushed hard against Lauren | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
Davis. A spoonful of almond butter was the stack of choice for the | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
American, having edged the second set. That but a boost was not enough | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
against a four-time finalist. The win for Sharapova sets up a meeting | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
against Belen Church. No issues for the world 11. Serena Williams is | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
looking unstoppable. She is now fast heading for a matchup in the | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
quarters against Sharapova. No time troubles either for the men's world | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
number one. Novak Djokovic is speeding towards a sixth title in | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
Melbourne. He dispatched Italian Andreas Seppi. Matches begin in | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
Melbourne in just under three hours' time. Muguruza is third act on it | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
first on the Rod Laver. Victoria Azarenka is next up. Then it is | :23:37. | :23:47. | |
2014's men champion -- men's champion Stan Wawrinka. Andy Murray | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
plays jazz Sousa of Portugal. The South African batsmen have moved | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
them into a strong position on the first day of the fourth and final | :23:56. | :24:02. | |
test against England in Centurion. Amla and Stephen Cook made | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
centuries. Although South Africa endured a mini collapse, Quinton De | :24:06. | :24:13. | |
Kock held an unbroken stand of 76 to guide South Africa to 329-5. | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
Ackerman, a legend to South Africa, said to me that for too many people, | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
the dream to play the South Africa is the end goal and you don't think | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
of thereafter. The end goal should be to get 104 South Africa and if | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
more people had that attitude, they would be more successful, so a | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
massive thank you to Ackerman for that piece of advice and that really | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
stuck by me through the times when things were tough, when you think | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
maybe the dream won't come true. We pride ourselves on the way we | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
approach the game in the first two hours and we weren't probably at our | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
best, if we are being really honest, but the way we applied ourselves and | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
came back in the last session was a fantastic effort from the whole team | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
and from the bowlers in particular. French diver Sebastien Auge remains | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
on course for a third consecutive win in Monte Carlo. The three-time | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
world champion made light of difficult conditions to take a 1.5 | :25:15. | :25:25. | |
second lead. It caused problems for many drivers, including Koubek. He | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
lost control on the ice, and that proved costly, Koubek is now down in | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
50th place. Let's stay with sport and if you | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
watch International rugby, you will be familiar with the haka. Now it | :25:41. | :25:49. | |
has gone viral. This is from a wedding video, it was posted on | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
social media and it has been watched by millions. That is it so far, stay | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
with us, plenty more. Hello. We will be coming back to | :25:59. | :26:12. | |
look at the European weather seen in a couple of minutes but with good | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
reason I want to take you straightaway over to the eastern | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
side of the States, where you may remember, you were | :26:20. | :26:21. |
