This is BBC World News Today, with me Karin Giannone. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
The headlines: One of the most important moments in the run up | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
It's Super Tuesday, when 11 states vote for their candidates | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
for the White House, and this could be the moment | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Donald Trump cements his lead in the race for the | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
8,500 migrants stuck at Greece's border with Macedonia in worsening | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
conditions, at a camp that can't cope with the numbers. | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
The trial collapses of a man accused of murdering 29 people in the Omagh | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
And understanding how memories actually change our brains, | :00:38. | :00:49. | |
three British researchers win a million Euro prize | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
for their outstanding contribution to neuroscience. | :00:52. | :01:11. | |
Voting is in full swing in the biggest test so far for candidates | :01:12. | :01:19. | |
running for the White House in Super Tuesday. It is seen as a make or | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
break for republican and democratic hopefuls. | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Voters from Vermont to Texas and Georgia are heading | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
to the polls on this, the biggest day in the nomination | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
Donald Trump is widely expected to pick up enough votes to be chosen | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
as the Republican candidate for the White House. | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
Hillary Clinton is ahead in the Democratic race, | :01:38. | :01:39. | |
but is still facing a stiff challenge from Bernie Sanders | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
James Cook in is Houston, Texas, a key Republican battleground. | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
Yes, as you say, Texas is a big deal in this election, as it is in so | :01:54. | :02:01. | |
many other ways, such a huge state here in the southern US. We have | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
seen Ted Cruz here in the last couple of hours. This is a polling | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
station here in Huston. He is the Texan Senator and he would hope to | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
win in this part of the world. If he doesn't he may as well pack his bags | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
and make a very short journey home because if he cannot win his home | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
state and his chances of getting on towards winning the presidential | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
nomination for the Republican party seemed to be receding. The positive | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
news for service Ted Cruz is that the polls suggest that he is doing | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
well here in Tesco's -- Texas. Not so much for Marco Rubio, the Florida | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
senator. Polls in Florida suggest he is lagging quite a long way behind | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
but he has a few weeks to catch up if he wants to do so. He really | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
needs to do so because Florida is not voting today on Super Tuesday. | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
11 states voting across the country in an election that has been | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
extraordinary in many ways. I have spoken to voters here, asking them | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
what they think of the presidential election campaign so far and it was | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
striking that three of them, independently of each other, or use | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
the same word, crazy, to describe the campaign. That could be because | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Donald Trump, the outsider and property tycoon has really shaken up | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
this race and on the other side there has been a challenge that has | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
shaken at least in the early stages Hillary Clinton as well from Bernie | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Sanders, a challenge from the last but this is really the moment -- a | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
challenge from the left but this really is the moment when we find | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
out who is all at and no cattle. In Houston, it's the | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
biggest show in town. Not Super Tuesday, but the annual | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
livestock fair and Rodeo. They've come to Texas from all over | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
the United States for this event and when it comes to politics, | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
folk here, like everywhere, Donald Trump is stating exactly | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
and what this country needs is a leader in business and not | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
I don't really care for Trump because I feel like he attacks | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
people when he's trying to make a point. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
I believe he's trying to point out everyone else's flaws and not really | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
It's kind of crazy right now, if I can go-ahead and say | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
I dislike, kind of, what he stands for. | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
Whatever he tells you, he does what he tells you. | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
In 11 states, Democrats and Republicans are doing just that | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
today - picking the person they want to stand for President. | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Here in Texas there are local elections, too. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
But in the White House race the votes will be counted, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
shared out among the candidates and then turned into delegates | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
who will confirm their choice at party conventions in the summer. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
For everyone involved in the presidential race this | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
is the biggest test so far, but here in Texas there's particular | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
If he loses here, his campaign will be in real trouble. | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
Polls suggest the Texas Senator is on course for victory | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
Almost everywhere else though Donald Trump is the favourite. | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
Today, he campaigned in Ohio, which votes in a fortnight. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Illegal immigration has turned out to be one of the big factors | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
You wouldn't even be talking about it. | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
You wouldn't be hearing about it if I didn't take take all that heat. | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
As for the Democrats, Bernie Sanders left-wing challenge | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
to Hillary Clinton seems to be fading. | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
Secretary Clinton stands out in a very positive way and I think | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
Mr Trump is an embarrassment to our country. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
Bernie Sanders, he makes the most sense, he has the most experience | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
and he's really making a change for America. | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
The presidential election isn't until November, | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
but already it feels like make-or-break. | :05:58. | :05:58. | |
James Cook, BBC News, Houston in Texas. | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Stay with us for full coverage of who Americans are choosing | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
We'll be talking to BBC correspondents in states including | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
Katty Kay will be bringing it all together live from | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
Then we'll have the results live from midnight GMT. | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
And do go to our website for comprehensive analysis | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
and a live page with the very latest developments. | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
Europe is on the cusp of a self-induced humanitarian | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
crisis, that's the verdict of the UN's refugee agency | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
24,000 people are stranded there because | :06:37. | :06:46. | |
neighbouring states have imposed restrictions on their borders. | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
8,500 are stuck at Idomeni on Greece's border | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
with Macedonia, the scene of fighting yesterday when hundreds | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
We are just on the edge of the main road running up to the edge | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
of the border camps between Greece and Macedonia. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
What is noticeable this morning is that many hundreds of people | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
Some of them have been dropped off by taxis about 2km away but these | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
people here have walked 25km so far this morning from another | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
They are determined to get to the border today. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
You can see the stream of people, I have counted dozens, | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
if not hundreds, of people walking across this field this morning | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
heading up to the border camp, which is about 1.5 miles from here. | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
There are camps further south with capacity for these people. | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
But the feeling among them is they don't want to be there, | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
they feel that they will only be able to make progress if they make | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
So they are determined to get to the border camp despite it | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
being overcrowded because they think that will give them a better chance | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
So you have this constant stream now, people walking down this road | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
and across these fields trying to get to frontier. | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
This is the main line that runs through the heart of the border camp | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
here, we are looking south into Greece. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
It is being used as a resting place now. | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
The protests yesterday took place at the border gate, | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
about 150 metres away and you can see the Greek police have blocked | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
They are actually preventing people from going up | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
And a repeat of yesterday's scenes when the tear gas was fired. | :08:32. | :08:45. | |
So the police here are stopping people from proceeding. | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
But again you talk to people here, they have been there for many days, | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
they are not sure when if ever they are going to get | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
And it just feels even busier every time you come here. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
They are trying to feed the people but again there are four | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
It rained heavily last night so you will see on the fences a lot | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
of belongings hanging up to dry after the heavy rain. | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
Lots of the tents here are not waterproof. | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
It is calmer here today, but still lots of people arriving | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
and they are getting increasingly fed up with the long wait | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
they are facing when they say they have the right papers to move | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
The migrant crisis is putting extreme pressure on Europe's borders | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
and different countries are responding in different ways. | :09:32. | :09:32. | |
It's not just Macedonia which is putting up fences. | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
Migrants heading north are faced with a razor-wire fence | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
15-feet high along parts of Bulgaria's border with Turkey. | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
Hungary has put up barriers along its borders with Serbia and Croatia. | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
There are also fences between Croatia and Slovenia, | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
All this has meant that migrants and refugees arriving in Greece | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
are having trouble moving north, deepening the country's crisis. | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
Speaking from Athens, the Greek Defence Minister, | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
Panos Kammenos, told the BBC his country is doing its best to manage, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
but the actions of countries like Austria are not helping. | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
It is very important, if they all want to really find a solution, to | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
not press Greece but pressed Turkey. To operate as we have agreed in Nato | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
and accept back all these special relations of the middle of the | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
emergency and to provide them with possibilities to build a camp under | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
the European Union and UN GR rules, that means the refugee people are | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
taken to a safe county -- country and don't give the blame game to | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
Greece. What is happening increases only part of a much wider crisis at | :10:50. | :10:56. | |
the moment. Clashes have happened in Calais where a camp known as the | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
jungle is being torn down. This camp has been marked for | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
demolition. They cried, take our house and we will take our lives! It | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
was a protest of the powerless, ended in minutes by the police. | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Around them other figures watched, defiant from their own flimsy | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
rooftops, wrapped against the cold. The irony is that migrants here are | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
clinging on to makeshift shelters in a country most do not want to be. | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
Moving to official migrant camps with heat and electricity means | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
registering in France. These temporary shacks show their resolve | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
not to settle here. This road marks the new boundary of the Jungle. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Everything to the south will be cleared out and the people evicted. | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
Everything, that is, except for the communal buildings, the mosque | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
summer schools in the community centres and the churches. Many of | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
the people who are facing eviction today say that rather than leave | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
their community the communal buildings where they sleep tonight. | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
After yesterday's violence, there is a sense of resignation among many | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
migrants here. As more shelters burns today the government directed | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
its anger towards the extreme and violent actions by some of the | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
activists here. Police on the ground told us off camera that most of the | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
agitators are British. We have arrested four people, mostly | :12:35. | :12:36. | |
British. These are people who use other spot are never on the | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
front-line themselves. They use the migrants, inciting them to start | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
fires and throw stones. The shrinking of the migrant camp hides | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
a bigger truth. Fresh figures from the UN refugee agency suggest the | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
rate of new arrivals across the Mediterranean has almost tripled | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
since last year. The building's might be cleared, but as for their | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
owners, many are still waiting for their chance in England and many | :13:02. | :13:09. | |
more are on their way. Next week European leaders will meet | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
again to find a way out of the crisis. I asked our brussels | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
correspondent what hope success? | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
There is a process going on as we speak of European leaders and | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
meetings going on to try and prepare for that summit on Monday. We have | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
European leaders from the European Commission, European union leaders, | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
going to talk with countries along the migrant route, Austria, Balkan | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
countries, Greece, also going to Turkey and we know on Friday that | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
Angela Merkel will meet with the French president, Francois Hollande, | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
to try and coordinate policy there. What they are facing really is the | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
need to try and get in place this unified European response that they | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
have been talking about for months, policies that they have already | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
decided on to institute better controls in Greece, to take those | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
who have refugee status from Greece and spread them around Europe. All | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
of those sorts of things. They need to make work efficiently. They | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
simply have not been functioning and that will be the focus on Monday and | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
it is something that Angela Merkel is pushing hard and we will see if | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
she has much success. A look now some of the avenues. | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
The South African President Jacob Zuma has survived another | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
no-confidence debate in Parliament. The second in a year. He was | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
repeatedly accused of destroying the economy he was told he was being | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
insulted with no luck at his track record. In the end he was defeated. | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
Police in India have charged a former head of the UN's climates | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
channel with sexual offences, including harassment and stalking. | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
The charges come one year after a female colleague at his | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
environmental think tank in Delhi filed a complaint, accusing him of | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
sending inappropriate texts and e-mails. He denies all charges. | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
President Hasan Rouhani has said the results of the elections have | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
shown that Iranians wanted moderation. | :15:15. | :15:15. | |
His supporters and their reformist allies won a landslide in Tehran | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
and deprived the Islamic hardliners of their majority in Parliament. | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
But their success is largely due to the efforts of two former | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
presidents who are now back at the centre stage | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Former Presidents Mohammad Khatami, on the left here, and Ali Akbar | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
Hashemi-Rafsanjani, both the bane of the life of the hardliners who, | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
over the years, have done as much as they | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
can to isolate them and their political lives. | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
can to isolate them and end their political lives. | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
But both are now back from the political wilderness | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Former president Rafsanjani here on Friday, | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
voting in elections that he managed to turn into a big challenge | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
for Islamic hardliners, hardliners, uniting all the strands of moderate | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Islamists behind the supporters of the President Rouhani. | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
This is a group of almost all the candidates | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
that he managed together under one umbrella for the elections in | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
All of them have now been elected, all 30 of them, to the 30 | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
Over the years he has been under ferocious attack from the hardliners | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
who have deprived him of his position as the Friday prayer | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
leader of the capital, who pushed him from | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
the chair of the crucial Assembly Of Experts. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
Who jailed his son on charges that are widely seen as | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
politically motivated and jailed his | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
daughter for supporting the opposition movement. | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
But he is now back, elected with the most number | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
of votes in the elections for the Assembly Of Experts, | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
with a shot at choosing the next supreme leader. | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
As for the former president Mohammad Khatami here entering | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
a polling station to vote on Friday, the hardliners had | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
even banned the use of his photographs, let alone his words. | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
This is why in this campaign poster you only see | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
In spite of being barred from politics he recorded this | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
video, posted on social media, calling on his supporters, | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
the reformists and all of those who support democracy to come out | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
and vote in big numbers for all of their candidates. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
A tactic he said could defeat the hardliners, a tactic | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
Both are now back, having engineered to defeat | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
the hardliners, who have now lost the control of parliament | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
Now, the Omagh bombing was the worst single atrocity of the Northern | :17:53. | :18:05. | |
Ireland Troubles and today the prospect of justice for the victims | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
remains as remote as ever. The trial has collapsed. Seamus Daly has | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
always denied the murders and today he was released from prison. The | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
prosecution said it was withdrawing the charges because a key witness | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
was unreliable. August 15th, 1998 was | :18:24. | :18:24. | |
a day unparalleled. Even in Northern Ireland's | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
history of brutality. This was a Saturday afternoon | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
in a busy market town. By evening, children and parents | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
were grieving because of a massive 18 years later, shops have been | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
repaired, this street rebuilt but nothing is forgotten in Omagh | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
with the relatives of those who died However, they didn't find it | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
when they went to court today. The case against Seamus Daly, | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
the man accused of all 29 murders collapsed before it | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
even reached trial. If you notice here this morning, | :19:06. | :19:06. | |
there's not many families. Most families have given | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
up on justice. They've given up | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
on the justice system. Seamus Daly's always strongly denied | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
any part in the explosion in Omagh. I'd like to ask you some questions, | :19:16. | :19:27. | |
please, about the Omagh bombing. However, in 2000, Panorama named him | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
as one of the Real IRA gang Key to the prosecution case | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
was a mobile phone used Their main witness said | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
he could connect Seamus Daly However in court he gave | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
inconsistent evidence and contradicted his | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
earlier testimony. The prosecution against | :19:54. | :19:54. | |
the defendant, Seamus Daly, The failure of this case to reach | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
trial means only one man has ever been prosecuted | :19:58. | :20:09. | |
for the murders at Omagh. In December 2007, Sean Howie | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
was acquitted and cleared of involvement in the attacks | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
after a lengthy criminal case. Two years later, four other men, | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
including Seamus Daly, were found liable in a civil case | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
but they continued to push Two years ago, Seamus Daly | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
was arrested and charged. However, today, the case against him | :20:30. | :20:39. | |
collapsed with the prosecutors admitting they didn't | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
have enough evidence. To bring it to that level where it's | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
even been at a committal I don't understand why they put | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
families continually through it. This afternoon, Seamus Daly left | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
prison where he's been held He's no longer wanted in connection | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
with the murders of all those But the town's them otherial garden | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
also serves as a reminder no-one's been held to account | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
for their deaths. Three British researchers have won a | :21:12. | :21:31. | |
coveted award for their work in the brain. They all made scientific | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
advances into research on the memory and how we all remember. | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
Throughout our lives we collect memories, | :21:40. | :21:40. | |
some remaining clear, others fading, they're part of a system that allows | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
Without it, we'd never advance and everyday tasks, | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
like driving, would be simply impossible. | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
Until recently, no-one knew how the brain could store information, | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
but researchers at this lab in Edinburgh, together with teams | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
in Bristol and London, have found ways to explain | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Memory we've now got a good handle on because we know about the events | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
that occur when memories are laid down. | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
We know more or less where it happens and we know at the level | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
or connections between nerve cells what's happening. | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
How the brain actually holds memories was for years something | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
that was too difficult to understand, but scientists then | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
realised that one part of it, called the hippocampus, | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
Inside it there are billions of connections between the brain | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
cells and, when those links become stronger, | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
that's the key mechanism allowing us to remember. | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
So one crucial discovery is that the brain can change, | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
creating new connections and breaking them. | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
Another is that faults with this process can be linked to conditions | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
including depression, autism, addiction and Alzheimer's. | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
An image of some of the billions of connections inside the brain. | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
One hope with this research is to fight Alzheimer's | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
If we could zero in on this connection process between brain | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
cells and understand why that connection process is, | :23:10. | :23:11. | |
as it were, under stress, and making it difficult for people | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
to keep a record of their daily events, then maybe we could develop | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
new kinds of drugs that could help that process. | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
As the scientists delve into the mechanism of memory, | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
That some day in the future people who are suffering from trauma, | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
like soldiers after battle, might be helped by having their bad | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
memories deleted, a whole new world of possible treatments has | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Now, a lot of people have been talking about this online, wondering | :23:41. | :23:55. | |
what it could have been. Pictures have emerged of a suspected meteor | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
shower, lighting up the sky across the north-east of Scotland. Many | :24:00. | :24:08. | |
people reported seeing what looked like a fireball and a bright flash. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Others said they heard a rumbling sound caused by something like a | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
sonic boom. Very impressive. The Rolling Stones have announced they | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
will play their first ever concert in Cuba on the 25th of March. | :24:23. | :24:34. | |
It will be a free, open a gate. It will be held in the Cuban capital | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
Havana and it will come four days after the scheduled visit of | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
President Barack Obama to the island. In a statement the band | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
said, we have performed in many special places throughout our long | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
career but this show in Havana is going to be a landmark event for us. | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
Let us return to our top story. It is crunch time for the Republican | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
and Democratic hopefuls for the race in the White House. In 11 states are | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
making a choice and we will get a brief flavour of the mood amongst | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
those casting their ballots. Hillary Clinton supporters in Virginia. She | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
is more qualified than any other candidacy history. Her experience as | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
Secretary of State and Senator makes a very impressive candidate. I think | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
she will win today and as far as going for words I think she will do | :25:24. | :25:25. | |
great. A little bit depends on who the | :25:26. | :25:42. | |
Republican candidate is. In my opinion if it is Donald Trump, I | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
think she will win overwhelmingly. Donald Trump will make America great | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
again. A lot of things that go on in this city, we don't need a | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
socialist. They raced my property taxes through the roof. I stood in | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
line for six hours the other day at Trump rally because to me he is just | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
the man, the one who will make the country great again. Full results of | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
Super Tuesday on BBC News. That is it from the programme. Good night. | :26:01. | :26:02. |
