that cannot be denied. And from this, to this. A classical | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
take on the Manchester 80s dance scene. | :00:00. | :00:18. | |
Welcome. At least 15,000 people in Syria have gathered at the Turkish | :00:19. | :00:25. | |
border after heavy fighting in the city of Aleppo. So far they are not | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
being allowed to cross the frontier, but Turkish aid walkers have gone | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
into Syrian territory to give them assistance. The Turkish Prime | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Minister says he believes tens of thousands more refugees may be under | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
way. Aleppo is just 60 kilometres from Turkey. Paul Adams reports. | :00:46. | :01:03. | |
Aleppo, yesterday, the aftermath of an air strike in a neighbourhood | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
under rebel control, the scene now numbingly familiar. | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
While world leaders in London have pledged billions of pounds to help | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Syria, the country's devastating civil war seems to have intensified, | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
Sending tens of thousands of desperate civilians fleeing | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
to the nearby Turkish border, perhaps as many as 70,000 people | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
The crossing is a bottleneck as entire families wait | :01:19. | :01:33. | |
Turkey has already taken in 2.5 million refugees | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
The Turkish president sounded frustrated. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Our European friends ask us to halt the influx of refugees, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
said Mr Erdogan, but I want to ask them how can we stop this flow | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
when they are living amid such tragedy? | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
But in two Syrian villages loyal to the government and besieged | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Government forces and their militia allies breaking through rebel | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
Four months of Russian air strikes have tipped the military balance. | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
The rebels are stretched, fighting newly energised government | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Does President Assad still think he can win this war with Russian | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
support, or strengthen his hand in future negotiations? | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
Either way there is mounting international concern. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
What you have seen is the intense Russian air strikes, | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
mainly targeting opposition groups in Syria, undermining efforts | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
to find a political solution to the conflict. | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
And adding to a refugee crisis that seems impossible to contain. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
With Turkey struggling to cope, some of these people may keep | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
With me now is a professor from the London School of Economics. What do | :02:49. | :03:07. | |
you think we can read into this in terms of what it means for how the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
conflict in Syria is developing? Obviously, the balance of power has | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
shifted in favour of President Assad. The Syrian army has | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
accumulated many tactical gains in the last few months. The Russian | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
intervention has allowed the Syrian army to move its fence. The Syrian | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
army is marching to Aleppo and is trying to encircle Aleppo and it is | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
a matter of hours before it is encircled. You have a million people | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
in Aleppo and the city is spread between the Syrian army forces and | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
the opposition. We are talking about 500,000 people who are besieged in | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
Aleppo. In Syria we are talking about 168 people who live in | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
besieged areas. If Aleppo is besieged, we are talking about | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
500,000 people and that is why more and more people are escaping the | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
city before the noose is finally closed on the city by the Syrian | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
army. They are heading for the Turkish border, how well-placed is | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Turkey to handle these sort of numbers? For your viewers, there are | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
more than 2 million in Turkey and 2 million in Lebanon and 1 million in | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Jordan. Turkey has got open borders and I am surprised Turkey has | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
decided not to open its borders. The Turkish leader is sending the | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
message, particularly to the European powers and the United | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
States saying, look what you are doing, look what Russia has done. | :04:41. | :04:47. | |
There is the fact that Aleppo is part of Turkish spheres of influence | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
and in the North the Army has made strategic gains. This is a major | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
blow for Turkey. The President is saying, you are responsible, this is | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
your responsibility, why do I have to take more in the next few days? | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Thank you very much. We are getting reports of an | :05:09. | :05:21. | |
earthquake in southern Taiwan. The US geological survey said it struck | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
about 31 kilometres south east of the city with 2 million people. It | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
was initially measured at 6.7 and at a shallow depth of ten kilometres. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
One report from Reuters says a building has half collapsed in the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
city. It says the Fire Department is on its way to the scene and | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
authorities have formed an emergency response team. People in Taiwan | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
posted on Twitter saying, the posted on Twitter saying, the | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
earthquake had felt strong. New research suggests the seeker | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
virus has been detected in saliva and other bodily fluids. It is | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
spreading rapidly in South America and health experts believe it could | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
lead to babies being born with abnormally small heads. More than | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
4000 babies have been born with the condition since October. The | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
research has not changed the current strategy to fight the spread of the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
virus. The strategy remains focused on tackling the mosquito and | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
eradicating the mosquito that transmits the seeker virus. It is | :06:34. | :06:43. | |
not clear yet at all if this finding means that the virus can be spread | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
through saliva or through your in. The only new fact about the spread | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
is the fact that the virus is found in these fluids in its active form. | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
That is the potential of it being transmitted to other people, but the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
next step is to investigate whether it can be transmitted to other | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
people and there are lots of variables that have to be studied to | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
assess if that is possible or not. The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
has welcomed the UN ruling which says he has been arbitrarily | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
detained. He says he should be allowed to walk free from Ecuador's | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
embassy in London. He has been there since 2012 after an extradition | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
request from Sweden. Still officially on Ecuadorian soil, | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
still threatened with arrest, Julian Assange emerged | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
on to a balcony this afternoon for the first time | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
since 2012, the year he sought This is a victory that | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
cannot be denied. The UK and Sweden have had this | :07:46. | :07:58. | |
judgment for the past two weeks. They did not file an appeal | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
in their two-week period. Julian Assange now says he has | :08:05. | :08:16. | |
international law on his side. But the self-styled champion of free | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
speech and accountability didn't He did want to hear the UN's | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
findings, that his detention was arbitrary, meaning | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
it was excessive and unnecessary. It had been continuous since 2010, | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
the UN said, when he was arrested They decided he has an enforceable | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
right to compensation The opinion in itself | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
is an opinion and it is legally binding to the extent | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
that it's based on international From the UK Government, | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
a furious response. He can come out | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
on to the pavement any time he chooses, he's not | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
being detained by us. But he will have to face justice | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
in Sweden if he chooses Today, these policemen outside | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
the embassy were for crowd protection but the police | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
operation to prevent The lawyer for the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
alleged rape victim put out a statement | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
in Sweden saying: Julian Assange's supporters | :09:32. | :09:42. | |
are relishing this moment. It's been a dramatic | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
day in an extraordinary international saga, but it doesn't | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
end this long-running stand-off. For now, he's back inside and still | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
no-one knows when he'll come out. A man has been shot dead | :09:55. | :10:07. | |
at the weigh-in for a championship The shooting happened | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
in a Dublin hotel. The gunmen were dressed | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
as police officers and armed More than 200 people | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
were in the room when It's understood the police are | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
investigating whether the shooting was connected to a feud | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
between criminal gangs. The boxing event - | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
due to take place on Saturday - Britain's proposed EU reforms have | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
been strongly backed The British Prime Minister David | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Cameron's been in Copenhagen, trying to gain support ahead | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
of a referendum on whether the UK He also held positive talks | :10:44. | :10:46. | |

benefits for EU migrants Here's our Europe | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
Editor Katya Adler. Warsaw's charming, old city centre | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
was built almost from scratch It's a must see for tourists, | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
but not on the regular beat Yet this is the second time | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
in a matter of weeks that David Poland is being tricky | :11:12. | :11:18. | |
when it comes to his EU reform proposals which he needs | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
all EU leaders to sign up to. Real negotiations take place | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
behind closed doors. In public, it's often what's not | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
said that's significant. Poland's Prime Minister politely | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
praised three out of David Cameron's reforms, she didn't mention cutting | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
EU migrant benefits, Is he hinting here at what Britain | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
could offer Poland? We want to see a full | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
strategic partnership between Britain and Poland | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
and that is because of the shared interests and shared | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
ideals that we have. Shared interests in strong defence | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
and in supporting NATO, in standing up to Russian | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
aggression, shared interests in terms of | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
growing our economies. Improving finances for many Poles, | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
particularly the young, Hundreds of thousands | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
have come to the UK, cutting their in-work benefits | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
isn't a popular idea. In Poland, it's not really | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
easy to find a good job. Salaries aside, Poles also | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
fear for their security with aggressive Russia | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
just next door. Last week, the British Government | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
pledged 1,000 troops to take part Valuable military support for Poland | :12:42. | :12:44. | |

for the Prime Minister ahead His EU reform proposals | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
are welcome here. And most importantly, | :13:00. | :13:11. | |
from the Danish Prime I support all the elements | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
on access to welfare It's no coincidence | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
that the Prime Minister chose to hold a press conference | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
here in Denmark and not to take any press questions | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
in Warsaw where things could have David Cameron's EU | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
reform proposal is a political hot potato, | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
he hopes it will be signed off at an EU summit in two weeks' time, | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
a long time in politics. Expect a roller coaster of headlines | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
between now and then predicting triumph, | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
concession and even defeat. Could those rave anthems | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
from the 80s be making a comeback Here in the UK a new report into | :13:53. | :14:00. | |
the way the National Health Service is run has found that delays | :14:01. | :14:13. | |
in discharging patients could be costing the NHS in England | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
?900 million a year. The review found that nearly 1 in 10 | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
hospital beds were taken up by someone medically fit | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
enough to be discharged. The government's opponents say | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
that the delays are caused by cuts If you cannot get people out of | :14:27. | :14:41. | |
hospital, they become gridlocked and it makes it difficult to get people | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
into hospital. Some of the problems with care outside of hospitals, we | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
have got big cuts in money and we have not got enough staff in | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
community and primary care. Hospitals have been left to solve | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
this on their own rather than working with local government and | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
with primary and community care. There are things hospitals are doing | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
to set up their own step-down unit to move people into an area where | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
they get care, but it frees up beds for more patients to come in. | :15:14. | :15:14. | |

Hello, the latest headlines. At least 15,000 Syrian refugees who | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
have fled fighting in Aleppo have gathered at a border crossing with | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
Turkey. There are new fears over how the seeker virus might be | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
transmitted after it was found in human saliva. | :15:36. | :15:46. | |
We are getting reports of an earthquake in southern Taiwan. It | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
struck 31 kilometres south east of Tainan, a city of 2 million people. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
It was initially measured at the magnitude of 6.7 and at a shallow | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
depth of ten kilometres. One report from Reuters says a building has | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
half collapsed in Tainan. It says the city's Fire Department is on its | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
way to the scene and the authorities have formed an emergency response | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
We will bring you more details as we go. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Almost 30 have washed up on beaches along the North Sea over the past | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
few weeks - why are so many sperm whales dying? | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
They've been found stranded on beaches in the UK, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
Holland, France and Germany, and tests have now been carried out | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
on the latest arrival here in Britain to find out why | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Our Correspondent Danny Savage has been investigating. | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
It's been a traumatic couple of days on this North Norfolk beach. | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
A sperm whale was stranded here yesterday, alive | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
There was a glimmer of hope as it showed signs of moving as the tide | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
But last night it died, the latest in a series of whale | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
Initial findings show that it was starving and dehydrated. | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
All the whales we examined, at least our end, no evidence | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
There has been what we call bile staining the intestines and that | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
indicate it's gone through a period of a lack of feeding and starvation. | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
That would make the animal more compromised. | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
Why have so many of these huge animals, all young males, | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
Experts say bachelor pods are normally found | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
in the North Atlantic, feeding off deepwater | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
But they've ended up in the waters of the North Sea, | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
which are on average, 98 metres deep and too shallow | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
Over the last few weeks, 29 have been found stranded | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
on beaches in the UK, Holland, France and Germany. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
This is the German operation to move them. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
They can become a health hazard if left on the sands or mud flaps. | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Experts say collectively, this is the worst series of whale | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
And the concern is more of these will turn up on North Sea coasts | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
But how much detail is really known about what's going on under water? | :18:11. | :18:19. | |
An incident like this almost heightens the need for us | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
all to learn more about these enormous and fantastic creatures. | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
This may look like a scene from the days of whale hunting, | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
but these animals have to be examined if answers about why | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
they end up in the wrong sea to be found. | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
Now, it was the music that outraged politicians and had police chasing | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Acid House music fuelled illegal parties and drug taking in 1980s | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
Britain on a scale not seen since the Sixties. | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
The heart of the high energy, drug fuelled scene was at | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
Manchester's world famous Hacienda night club. | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
The club is no more, but the music is enjoying | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
a bit of a revival - albeit in a slightly | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
more sedate form - as our Entertainment Correspondent | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
For a moment in time the Hacienda was the most influential club | :19:15. | :19:23. | |
The place to be, the place to dance, where whole weekends would get lost | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
It's almost 20 years since it closed in a blur of drugs, guns and gangs. | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
Although, it's never sounded quite like this before. | :19:39. | :19:53. | |
Hacienda classics in a classical style. | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
The orchestra, classical sound is very emotive. | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
Rock and roll tends to push you, tends to bite you, tends to make | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
people, grrr, you know, like dance music. | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
It's quite funny when I told the conductor about smoke machines. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
He went, "Smoke machines, they won't be able | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
We're going to get him a pair of them ones that light | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
It's quite a change from podium dancers to a conductor on a podium. | :20:20. | :20:27. | |
One big difference from the heyday of the Hacienda because tonight | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
is a classical venue and there is no dance floor. | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
But with these guys on board, it seems highly unlikely | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
the audience will remain in their seats. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
It shows you the depth and the musicality of the original | :20:41. | :20:42. | |
I thought we'd try and transform a DJ mix in to a score. | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
So when you've got one track mixing into another track and two musical | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
elements coming together, that's what the orchestra | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
And tonight will be extra special for one regular at the Hacienda | :20:54. | :21:05. | |
who's graduated from Manchester raver... | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
To Manchester Camerata's first violin. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
Just the whole buzz of going into each different track, | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
it's like just being there next to the big speaker, dancing. | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
It's brilliant, absolutely loving it. | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
There are now plans for a tour, but it remains to be seen | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
if classical music critics will give it rave reviews. | :21:32. | :21:43. | |
Rugby Union's 6 Nations Championship gets underway this weekend - | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
as Scotland take on England in Edinburgh. | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
England have a new captain and and a new coach and are hoping | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
this will be the start of brighter things after a dismal World Cup | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
where Scotland turned out to be the best team from Europe. | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
Scotland and Murrayfield, we know what it is going to be like, we know | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
what to expect in the Calcutta cup. The mission is to go out there and | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
play in the Calcutta cup. There is no pressure, the pressure is for the | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
team to play well. If we are good enough, we will win the game, if | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
not, we will not win the game. It is nice to be able to have players who | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
know each other and to have trained beforehand. There is no guarantee, | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
There is no guarantee, but given the timescale it helps. | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
This Sunday - the 50th Superbowl takes place in California | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
between the Denver Broncos and the Carolina Panthers. | :22:49. | :22:50. | |
It's the climax to the American football season and is one | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
of the world's most popular sporting events. | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
But as Alex South reports, the Superbowl came from much more | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
The famous Vince Lombardi trophy was first fought over in 1967, but it | :23:00. | :23:13. | |
was not even superb back then. Its name was the AFL, NFL World | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
Championship game. Super Bowl rolls off the tongue a little more easily. | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
Back then the average player got around $6,000 a year. Nowadays, that | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
would take the best player just over an hour to make. There are now the | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
famous half-time shows. In the early days you were lucky if you got a | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
marching band. But Michael Jackson's performance in 1993 changed all that | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
forever leading to some of the biggest names in music to gate-crash | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
the party. Who could forget his sister's wardrobe malfunction in | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
2004. Players had changed as well. Size really matters. The average | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
player weighed in at 251lbs and was 6'3" tall. In 2016 that average | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
looks tiny as the majority of players wait around 310lbs and are | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
now around six feet five. You cannot teach size, but you can ask for a | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
decent haircut once in awhile. There have been plenty of disasters over | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
the years proving money cannot buy you everything. Fascinating, that is | :24:25. | :24:35. | |
all the spot for now. Let's take you back to the breaking news, an | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
earthquake in southern Taiwan. It struck about 31 kilometres south | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
east of Tainan, a city of nearly 2 million people. The quake was | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
initially measured at a magnitude of 6.7. We are now getting some reports | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
of multiple buildings having collapsed, among them a residential | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
building. Those are the latest lines which are getting. We will keep you | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
updated and bring you the latest on BBC News. For now that is all from | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
the programme. From me and the rest of the team, thank you for | :25:13. | :25:14. |
