:05:19. > :05:25.My colleague Katty Kay joins me from Washington.
:05:26. > :05:33.We heard John saying that a year ago nobody would have predicted this,
:05:34. > :05:37.but people are saying now it could be Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
:05:38. > :05:43.going head to head. How likely do you think it is? It is increasingly
:05:44. > :05:48.likely. It is harder to do the maths for any other candidate and it is
:05:49. > :05:53.impossible for Bernie Sanders to envisage a way in which he could
:05:54. > :05:57.become the Democratic nominee. If you are very clever with the maths
:05:58. > :06:03.on the Republican side, you can just about find a path for Marco Rubio or
:06:04. > :06:08.Ted Cruz to topple Donald Trump, but the chances are so slim. A year ago
:06:09. > :06:13.I certainly would not have predicted this. Six months ago when he
:06:14. > :06:18.announced he was going to run in June, he came down the escalator at
:06:19. > :06:23.Trump Tower and announced his candidacy and I would never have
:06:24. > :06:29.imagined he would this far. That is an indication of what upset has
:06:30. > :06:33.been. The Republican establishment did not predict it either and now
:06:34. > :06:39.they have made it clear they do not want him to be their candidate. What
:06:40. > :06:45.happens if he is? There is a lot of hand-wringing in Republican seconds
:06:46. > :06:55.-- circles, wondering whether they should have turned on him in a weigh
:06:56. > :06:59.and stopped him last autumn. Nobody wanted to take him on in the
:07:00. > :07:06.debates. The other candidates did not want to, they felt they would
:07:07. > :07:12.alienate their supporters. Now the Republican party is in a state of
:07:13. > :07:15.panic thinking, what do we do? Increasing numbers of senior
:07:16. > :07:22.Republicans are coming out and saying, we cannot vote for this man.
:07:23. > :07:25.A group of Republicans are organising a super packed, a
:07:26. > :07:30.financially funded organising committee to try and stop Donald
:07:31. > :07:35.Trump. You have got the Speaker of the House accusing Donald Trump of
:07:36. > :07:39.bigotry. They are speaking out, but Donald Trump supporters do not give
:07:40. > :07:44.a hoot what the establishment thinks. What they care about is
:07:45. > :07:50.their candidate and whoever attacks him comes into trouble from them and
:07:51. > :07:56.it seems to make him stronger. It only up until now has boosted him in
:07:57. > :07:57.the ratings. It seems incredibly dramatic as well. Thank you for

:09:28. > :09:32.It is a nine-hour journey on foot, but here a taxi driver
:09:33. > :09:37.This is where they are heading for, a mass of humanity gathered in tiny

:12:47. > :12:50.Along with this brand-new military kit, primed and ready to roll
:12:51. > :12:55.across the bridge into North Korea, it all raises an important question.

:14:11. > :14:15.For years the parties took more than 80% of the vote between them,

:14:19. > :14:23.But then after the economic crisis began a new party,
:14:24. > :14:26.Podemos, was created on the left wing and this is what happened.
:14:27. > :14:29.Suddenly Spanish voters found they had three major parties
:14:30. > :14:32.to choose from, which made it more complicated.
:14:33. > :14:35.Things got even more complicated last December when Ciudadanos,
:14:36. > :14:38.a fourth major party, a Liberal party, was created

:16:25. > :16:30.attempts to form a coalition has been difficult. The main party, the
:16:31. > :16:35.popular party declined an invitation to try to form a new government. The
:16:36. > :16:41.runners up, the Socialists, have had a go and they began their night in
:16:42. > :16:46.the parliament, but they only control a quarter of the seats. They
:16:47. > :16:52.failed to get an absolute majority tonight. They will get another go on
:16:53. > :16:59.Friday. A lady in your report says she thinks it will go to elections
:17:00. > :17:04.in June. What happens next? First of all on Friday, there will be another
:17:05. > :17:08.vote at this parliament. There will be an easier way for the Socialists
:17:09. > :17:13.to get a majority because abstentions will help them. But if

:19:51. > :19:54.A little later, re-entry into the earth's atmosphere.
:19:55. > :19:57.And this was what we were waiting for.
:19:58. > :20:05.A keen photographer, Scott Kelly took some of the most

:20:09. > :20:13.And he amazed people on earth with his scientific demonstrations.

:21:24. > :21:29.Fortunately, the vast majority of hobby drone pilots who buy these
:21:30. > :21:32.things for fun behave responsibly because they do not want to lose
:21:33. > :21:39.this valuable piece of equipment. Professional operators, we are
:21:40. > :21:45.legally bound by the terms of our permission to fly in a certain way.
:21:46. > :21:50.There have been 23 near misses between drones and aircraft over six
:21:51. > :21:56.months. In half of those there was a serious risk of collision. At
:21:57. > :22:02.Stansted on September 13, a Boeing 737 nearly hit a drone. On the same
:22:03. > :22:08.day one came within 20 metres of a jet approaching city airport. On
:22:09. > :22:15.September the 22nd Boeing taking off from Heathrow came within 25 metres
:22:16. > :22:21.of a drone. On September 30, an Airbus was just six metres away from
:22:22. > :22:26.a drone landing at the same airport. Airline pilots are now calling for
:22:27. > :22:31.tests to see what would happen if a drone hit a plane. They fear the
:22:32. > :22:36.lithium batteries in a drone would make a collision much worse than a
:22:37. > :22:41.bird strike. Normally a bird will damage the engine and make it stop
:22:42. > :22:45.and go out the back and everything would be contained within the casing
:22:46. > :22:49.of the engine. If the lithium battery gets into the core of the
:22:50. > :22:55.engine where it is very hot, we are concerned there might be a
:22:56. > :22:59.non-contained engine failure and a very serious emergency. The
:23:00. > :23:03.government says it is trying to improve its understanding of this
:23:04. > :23:14.emerging technology and it said it was set at further regulation on the
