This is BBC World News Today with me, Lebo Diseko. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
The headlines - The UN's Syria envoy makes an impassioned | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
plea for an end to the bombardment of Aleppo. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Staffan de Mistura says the east of the city could be | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
wiped out by Christmas if the fighting doesn't stop. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
The city of eastern Aleppo at this rate will be totally destroyed, | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
The city of eastern Aleppo at this rate will be totally destroyed. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
And thousands of civilians, not terrorists, will be killed. | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
A picture of utter devastation along the southwestern peninsula of Haiti, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
after it's hit by Hurricane Matthew. 140 people are dead. | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
Also coming up: A British Member of the European Parliament is taken | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
to hospital after a fight at a meeting with colleagues | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
And why eating farmed salmon might not be as healthy | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
Rebel-held Eastern Aleppo faces total destruction by Christmas - | :01:02. | :01:26. | |
that's the stark warning from the UN envoy to Syria today. | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
Staffan de Mistura said that he was prepared to personally | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
accompany jihadists out of the city if it would stop the fighting. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
It's thought there are around 275,000 people currently living | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
in rebel-held parts of the city, which has been under | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
Of those, around 100,000 are children. | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
The Syrian government and Russia are carrying out an intense bombing | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
campaign to try and take the city back from rebel fighters, | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
of which around 900 belong to Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
previously al Qaeda's franchise in Syria. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
The UN said that targeting those militants was no justification | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Here's our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale. | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
There are 100,000 children trapped in eastern Aleppo, | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
and this little boy is one of the lucky ones. | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
Shabab was pulled from the building that killed the rest of his family, | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
yet another casualty in the rebel held part of the city, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
where the UN says more than 270 people have been killed | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
and 600 injured in the last two weeks alone. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
So, from the United Nations today, a warning that | :02:38. | :02:39. | |
unless the bombardment by Russian and Syrian forces stopped, | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
there will be nothing left by Christmas. | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
A maximum two months, two and a half months, | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
the city of Eastern Aleppo, at this rate, may be | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
We are talking about the old city in particular. | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
And thousands of Syrian civilians, not terrorists, will be killed. | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
There are believed to be 900 jihadist fighters, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
formerly known as al-Nusra, left in eastern Aleppo, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
seen here training recently alongside other allies. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
The UN envoy said they should not risk further civilian casualties, | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
and instead withdraw from the city, offering to guarantee | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
If you do decide to leave, in dignity and with your weapons, | :03:27. | :03:36. | |
to anywhere you wanted to go, I personally am ready physically | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
France today called on President Assad to end | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
what its ministers called the deluge of fire and death | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
But the Syrian president denied once again that he was | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
If we are killing people, Syrian people, and destroying | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
hospitals and committing all these atrocities, | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
and we have been faced by all the great power | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
and the petrol dollars in the world, how can I be president | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
The conflict in Syria will be the priority for the next | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
Secretary-General of the United Nations, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Antonio Guterres, confirmed today as the Security Council's nominee. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
The former Portuguese Prime Minister will try to succeed | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
As you heard there, the former prime minister | :04:25. | :04:36. | |
has been officially named as the new Secretary-General | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
He'll take over from Ban Ki-moon in January. | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
Mr Guterres was the UN High Commissioner for Refugees | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
for ten years until the end of last year. | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
He spoke of his gratitude to the UN Security Council for choosing him. | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
Gratitude, but also humility. Humility when facing the dramatic | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
problems of today's world, and humility that is needed | :05:00. | :05:01. | |
to serve, and especially to serve The victims of conflicts, | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
of terrorism, the victims of the violation of rights, | :05:05. | :05:16. | |
the victims of poverty And also, the humility | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
that is needed to recognise the inspiration that comes | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
from so many workers of the UN and its partners, that are doing | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
everything they can in the most Nada Tawfik joins me | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
from the United Nations in New York. He managed to get the support of all | :05:31. | :05:50. | |
five veto carrying members of the United nation 's security council. | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
How rare is that sort of show of unity? | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
Well, as we have seen with the war in Syria, getting the Security | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
Council to have a united voice can be difficult. That is not to say | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
that they haven't spoken with one voice in past conflicts, but again, | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
it comes down to what are the best interests of these countries. The UN | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
is only as good as is member states, and in the case of the Security | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
Council, the five veto wielding members. But I have to say, this was | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
really the first time that this process for Secretary-General, all | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
the members came out together to announce they had come to a swift | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
decision. The timing was right surprisingly Antonio Guterres is | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
going to come to the UN at one of the most difficult points in its | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
history, really. The chief mandate of the UN is to prevent conflicts, | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
and we're seeing conflicts raging across the globe, so he is going to | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
have a very tough time. He mentioned when he thanked the Security Council | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
for the nomination that he hopes this unity will follow through in | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
his work with the council. He mentioned there that there were | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
one of the most difficult times in terms of conflict around the world, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
some of them seeming so intractable. There will be people who would say, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
why does he want a job like this, and what does he bring that perhaps | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
his predecessor did not? Well, Mr Guterres has really been | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
applauded for the fact that he was a leader. He led Portugal as Prime | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Minister. He also led the UN's Refugee Agency for a decade. He said | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
his personal mission coming into this will be to prevent conflicts, | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
to redo the UN so that instead of holding meeting after meeting, they | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
will be more focused on preventing conflict and goals. So, Mr Guterres | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
has the experience that others in the past have not had. As I say, he | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
has led a country before. For example, the French Ambassador | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
mentioned how he hopes Mr Guterres focuses on dogging partnerships | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
instead of rivalries here are the UN, because that has been a major | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
force, as we have seen, between Russia and the US, in preventing | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
certain outcomes in the Security Council, particularly on Syria. | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
We will have to leave it there. Thank you. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
President Obama has declared a state of emergency in Florida as the | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
south-eastern United States braces itself for the arrival of hurricane | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
Matthew. More than 2 million people are facing evacuation orders, and | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
highways are jammed with people trying to leave. The hurricane is | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
thought now to have killed 140 people in the Caribbean, nearly all | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
of them in Haiti. The Bahamas, the latest landfall | :08:25. | :08:25. | |
for Hurricane Matthew. Winds of 125 mph lashed the capital | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Nassau, bringing down And still almost 200 miles | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
of the Florida coast, And still almost 200 miles | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
off the Florida coast, the storm is already | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
making its presence felt. 1.5 million people have | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
been told to evacuate, emptying stores, gas stations, | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
clogging roads, heading inland for safer ground and to dozens | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
of shelters set up around the state. The Edwards family from Palm Beach | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
are making this one their home All my family is talking about is, | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
you need to hit the road right now. But the thing is, I don't | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
want to get caught out there on the road with three children, | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
so I just want to stay here. I feel like this is the safest | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
place for me right now. While it is not yet clear | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
where the storm will hit the Florida coast, | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
the governor says it could cause catastrophic | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
destruction. So if you are in an | :09:22. | :09:22. | |
evacuation zone, get out. This is not something you should | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
take a chance with. Time is running out. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
Leave, there is no excuses. The roads are open. | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
You should get out. Our number one priority | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
is protecting everyone's life. In Haiti, the scale | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
of the devastation Thousands of people have | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
lost their homes, and more than 100 are now reported dead, | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
with the total expected Parts of the island | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
are still cut off. In Florida, the National Guard | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
and federal emergency staff have been called in as a number | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
of airports and schools are closed. Matthew's expected to strengthen | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
as it approaches the coast, in what meteorologists say | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
is the most ferocious As we've been hearing, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Hurricane Matthew has again become a Category Four storm - | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
that means dangerously strong winds as it makes its way | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
towards the United States. BBC Weather presenter Helen Willets | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
is tracking Matthew's course. With sustained winds forecast of | :10:22. | :10:35. | |
about 142 140 miles an hour, which is 230 kilometres per hour, which is | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
a sustained wind, we will see costs well in excess of that. It had very | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
close to the Florida coastline, and may well make landfall, brush its | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
way northwards and be very close to the Georgia and Carolina coastline | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
late on Friday and Saturday. So it will have far-reaching consequences. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
We have the triple whammy of a storm surge up to four meters, potentially | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
6-10 inches of rain falling, and really powerful, destructive winds | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
which will rip up anything in their wake. It is a very serious storm | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
indeed. Hundreds of thousands of people are being evacuated in this | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
way, but clearly, it will have devastating effects. | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
You can follow the course of the hurricane on our website. | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
There is a live page there, constantly being updated as the | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
storm moves north. There is also a picture gallery | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
showing the damage the storm has already caused, and you can also get | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
eyewitness accounts from survivors. Also, a very interesting piece on | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
what actually makes the different categorisations of a hurricane. That | :11:39. | :11:39. | |
is on our site. Turmoil in the UK Independence Party | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
after one of its leadership contenders was rushed to hospital | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
after he collapsed outside the European | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
parliament in Strasbourg. Steven Woolfe suffered two | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
fits following a fight Ukip's interim leader, Nigel Farage, | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
condemned the incident, saying it was bad for Ukip's image | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
and made them look violent. Our deputy political editor | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
John Pienaar reports. Steven Woolfe's no household name, | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
at least until now, but he was favourite | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
to lead his party, a party torn apart by feuding | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
and faction fighting, His far better known and biggest | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
supporter Nigel Farage put out the news in a tweet - | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
there had been a fight. Steven Woolfe had collapsed | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
after an altercation at a meeting He described his | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
condition as serious. Tonight, though, Mr Farage | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
reported his colleague Steven Woolfe is in a much better | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
place than he was a fewer hours ago. Steven Woolfe is in a much better | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
place than he was a few hours ago. He did, as you know, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
collapse coming out of the chamber during the voting session and | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
hit the ground pretty hard. He has suffered two seizures, | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
one quite major one, which is obviously pretty serious, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
and he did lose consciousness for a bit, so things | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
were pretty bad. As for the events that led up to it, | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
well, it is two grown men getting It is not very seemly behaviour, | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
but I'm not today going to get Tempers flared after Mr Woolfe told | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
the BBC he had been tempted to join the Conservatives | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
after Theresa May's At a private meeting | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
of MEPs, there was a row. It spilled outside and punches | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
were reportedly thrown. Two hours later, Mr Woolfe collapsed | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
and was taken to hospital. A short while ago, Mr Woolfe himself | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
confirmed he was on the mend. He said in a tweet, "at the moment, | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
I am feeling brighter, happier, Ukip tasted triumph when Britain | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
voted to leave the EU. But the party's known nothing | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
but split and schisms since, divided equally for and | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
against Nigel Farage. Diane James reigned as leader | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
for just 18 days before she decided she lacked the authority | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
to lead and stood down, Now, Steven Woolfe, mixed race | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
but tough on migration, may again be favourite to lead, | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
though not many outside the party Now a look at some of | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
the day's other news. Ten people are reported to have been | :14:12. | :14:19. | |
injured in a bomb attack targeting a police station in the Turkish | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
city of Istanbul. The provincial governor says device | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
was attached to a motorbike No group has said it was behind | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
the attack, close to the city's main airport, but both Kurdish militants | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
and so-called Islamic State have Nine Australians arrested | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
for stripping off at the Malaysian Formula One Grand Prix | :14:37. | :14:38. | |
have walked free from a court. The group, known as the "Budgie | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
Nine", were charged with public nuisance, which carries | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
a fine but no jail time. The men were detained after posing | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
in swimwear decorated with the Malaysian flag to celebrate | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
Australian Daniel Ricciardo's win Deutsche Bank has | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
announced that 1,000 jobs The move adds to the 3,000 job | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
losses announced in June. The bank has been under intense | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
pressure since mid-September, when US authorities said they wanted | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
the firm to pay $14 billion to settle an investigation | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
into mortgage-backed securities. Parliament in Poland has | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
voted to reject a strict It would have meant almost | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
a complete ban on the procedure, Women who terminated their pregnancy | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
would have faced up The proposed abortion ban has | :15:22. | :15:41. | |
provoked strong emotions. Both among politicians, and on the streets. | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Demonstrations for and against the proposal have been taking place for | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
months. Coat hangers symbolise the cruelty of illegal abortions. The | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
Catholic Church and some members of Poland's governing right wing Law | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
And Justice Party initially supported the total ban, even though | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
Poland already has one of Europe's most restrictive abortion laws. The | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
procedure is only allowed in cases of rape or incest, or when the | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
health of the woman or foetus is seriously endangered. The event that | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
changed minds in the governing camp was a nationwide protest some days | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
ago. An estimated 100,000 people, mostly women, took part in a strike | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
and street protests. It was a potent display of defiance against a bill | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
that threaten women with prison. Under the proposal, abortions would | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
be banned in cases of rape. They would only be allowed in order to | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
save a woman's life. One government minister said the protest had taught | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
him a lesson in humility. Poland's Prime Minister said the debate had | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
got out of hand. TRANSLATION: Emotions that have | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
formed around this topic in recent days are too high in my opinion. All | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
public figures and politicians are responsible for soothing them. This | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
is a very serious and difficult debate, and for many people, a very | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
dramatic one. We should respect different | :17:11. | :17:11. | |
opinions. Before the vote in parliament, | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
Poland's Catholic bishops said that while they supported a total ban, | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
they opposed punishing women. In the end, Poland's politicians | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
overwhelmingly rejected the bill. They saw the mood in the country and | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
voted accordingly. Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe | :17:31. | :17:39. | |
has told Parliament he may turn down a law which requires aren't | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
companies to transfer more than half of shares to black Zimbabweans. It | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
comes after months of protests calling for the government to fix | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
the failing economy and end corruption. | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
Arriving to the opening of Parliament with his wife Graced by | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
her side, Robert Mugabe, showing no signs of slowing down. The | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
92-year-old has been in power for more than three decades, but his | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
country is in trouble. Zimbabwe's economy is imploding. The country is | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
running out of cash. Even a simple task of withdrawing money from a | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
bank takes hours. It is estimated 85% of the population is unemployed. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
The majority relies on street trade to eat out a living. These vendors | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
in Harare sleep on the streets, desperate to keep their positions, | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
and too poor to make the daily trip home. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
But for millions, life in Zimbabwe is too hard to endure. In full view | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
of the border, these young men illegally crossed the Limpopo river | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
into South Africa in search of jobs. It is estimated that between three | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
and 6 million Zimbabweans now live in South Africa. | :18:56. | :19:01. | |
There are no jobs, no food. I'm going to look for a job. | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
On the Zimbabwean side, there are no jobs. Now, the people are beating | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
us. Desperation has forced millions of | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
Zimbabweans to cross the border by any means. This has been happening | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
for many years, but with the current situation in Zimbabwe, the numbers | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
could increase. The deepening poverty appears to | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
have united many, demanding economic reforms and an end to government | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
corruption. The economy is not functioning. | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
People are losing jobs. There is no purchasing power, so if you are | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
selling goods manufacturing, you stop manufacturing, because nobody | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
is buying your goods. So it is a downward spiral. | :19:44. | :19:50. | |
For the first time in more than a decade, Zimbabweans have taken to | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
the streets to voice their discontent. The most vocal are | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
consistently and violently shut down. Dismantle the BBC how he was | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
electrocuted and left for dead. -- this man told the BBC. They gave me | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
electric shocks and kicked me until my body was numb. | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
They thought I was dead. They left me on the side of the road and they | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
drove away. The government has denied any | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
overuse of force. This is unwarranted provocation, and | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
I am so proud of the police, in that they exercise restraint on all | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
occasions, and they have never used excessive force. They have used | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
appropriate force. Anti-government protests look set to | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
continue ahead of the 2018 elections, in which President Mugabe | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
seeks his eighth term in office. For now, Zimbabweans will find it ever | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
means they can to make a living, despite the country's ailing | :20:48. | :20:47. | |
economy. Eating salmon may not be as good | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
for you as you might think - if you're eating the farmed | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
kind, that is. A new study shows levels of omega-3 | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
oils in those fish have halved Our Science Correspondent, | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
Pallab Ghosh, has been to a salmon farm in the Highlands of Scotland | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
to find out more. It is feeding time for the salmon. | :21:05. | :21:22. | |
Thousands of them at a fish farm and Loch Leven. The Scottish Highlands | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
and Islands is home to the fishing industry. It produces 30 million | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
fish each year, and the worldwide demand is continuing to grow. But | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
there is a problem. As the industry has been producing more fish, the | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
nutritional value has been gradually declining. | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Quite an oily fish. Salmon is good for you, because of | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
its beneficial omega three fish oils. Those are thought to stave off | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
a range of illnesses, including heart disease, arthritis and | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
diabetes. Five years ago, the amount of | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
beneficial omega three in a portion of 130 grams, like we have here, | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
would be around this amount. 3.5 grams of beneficial omega three, | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
which in actual fact is our recommended weekly intake. However, | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
now, that level has been about halved, and so, instead of having to | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
read one portion of farmed salmon, we now have delete two portions to | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
get our recommended weekly intake of omega three. -- we now have to eat. | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
The salmon get their omega three oil from smaller oily fish such as | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
anchovies, which have been ground up and added to the pellets that are | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
being sprayed into the pens. But there is a limited supply of | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
anchovies, and a growing demand for the salmon. So that means that all | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
across the world, there are less oily fish to go rounds to make food | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
for salmon. Scientists here are working on a solution, but it is a | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
controversial one. These plants have been genetically modified to produce | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
omega three fish oils that can be fed to the salmon. | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
The production of fish oils is no longer limited by what is available | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
from wild capture out of the ocean. It is also going to be augmented and | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
helped by what we can produce by agriculture as well as by fishing. | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
Farmed salmon is still one of the richest sources of omega-3 fish | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
oils, but unless a solution can be found, the problem will continue to | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
get worse. Now, which of these buildings | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
would get your vote? Later this evening, we'll find out | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
which has won this It's one of the most prestigious | :23:28. | :23:29. | |
architecture awards in Britain and the world, and it's given | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
to someone who's "made the greatest "contribution to the evolution | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
of architecture." Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
looks at the contenders. Six new additions to the British | :23:41. | :23:52. | |
landscape, all with sleek modernist lines, but among them, a 2016 | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Stirling Prize winner. But which one will it be? Perhaps this private | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
house, set deep in the landscape in the Forest of Dean could take the | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
prize. It is a concrete bunker like new home for a couple of artists. Or | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
maybe this seven building housing complex in London's Elephant In | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
Cassell district will catch the judges' I. The design has won | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
friends, but there have been concerned about insufficient social | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
housing within the scheme. Just down the road is Damien Hirst's Newport | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
Street Gallery, seeing the transformation of a building was | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
used for creating theatrical scenery. Here is another one. | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Glasgow's riverside campus, a classy new addition to the banks of the | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
river Clyde, with a huge in a hall to orientate and gather. It is one | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
of three academic buildings on the short list. The other two are in | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Oxford. There is a reconfigured Weston Library, which takes Giles | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
Gilbert Scott's World War II design and updates it for the 20th century, | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
providing a space to serve both students and the public. A short | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
walk away is the black nick School of government, a layered design of | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
geometric forms that reference the city pot-macro architectural | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
heritage. The question for the judges is... | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
What do you look for in a piece of contemporary architecture? | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
So, we are looking for a moment of transformation, an element of | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
innovation that we are definitely looking for. We're looking at | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
something has a degree of timelessness to it, so it is not | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
obsolete in three or four years, so its longevity is not an issue, I | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
guess. We will not have to wait long to | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
find out which project he and his fellow judges award the prize. Their | :25:38. | :25:40. | |
decision will be announced later this evening. | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
And of course, we will be updating you as soon as we know who has won | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
that. You stay tuned to BBC News. For the moment, that is it for me. | :25:52. | :25:53. | |
Next, the weather. But for now, from me and the rest | :25:54. | :25:54. | |
of the team, goodbye. Hello there. It is a quieter weather | :25:55. | :26:09. | |
story across the UK, but a noticeably | :26:10. | :26:10. |
