:01:57. > :01:58.Temperatures have been as low as -15 for several days.

:01:59. > :02:01.There is major concern about the plight of refugees,

:02:02. > :02:05.Some are being sheltered in reception centres.

:02:06. > :02:09.But 1,200 are living in a derelict warehouse in Belgrade,

:02:10. > :02:14.It's very cold, and we are just making fire.

:02:15. > :02:18.But still we can keep warm ourselves.

:02:19. > :02:24.We're trying to leave this country and go to European countries.

:02:25. > :02:26.But we are stuck because of the borders.

:02:27. > :02:31.There are calls for governments across Europe to do more.

:02:32. > :02:35.It will only take one more snow storm or another cold snap

:02:36. > :02:38.and we're going to see some, some children, you know,

:03:16. > :03:19.with organisers eventually having to admit the race

:03:20. > :03:23.And the warning is that more bad weather is on the way.

:03:24. > :03:28.Well, Ivan Miskovic is a spokesman for the Serbian Government's

:03:29. > :03:43.This is what he had to say about the situation. At this moment there are

:03:44. > :03:48.more than 7000 migrants in the Republic of Serbia. Out of that

:03:49. > :03:55.number, 6000 are accommodated in official centres manage that the

:03:56. > :04:01.department for refugees, and more than 1000 around the centre of the

:04:02. > :04:09.city. What other conditions like? The conditions in the form of sites,

:04:10. > :04:13.the people living here are battling with harsh conditions in freezing

:04:14. > :04:22.temperatures, so this is inadequate for anybody. We have a campaign

:04:23. > :04:26.trying to persuade them to go to the centres, to be accommodated in the

:04:27. > :04:33.official heated rooms and Friday will be provided with meals and

:04:34. > :04:39.health care. Unfortunately is still got back only 400 people --

:04:40. > :04:46.unfortunately only 400 people are being persuaded. There are no women

:04:47. > :04:49.or children in the public places in the city centre of Belgrade, so

:04:50. > :04:56.there is a good result, but more than 1000 migrants are slipping in

:04:57. > :05:05.public places. Whose responsibility is it to sort the situation? The

:05:06. > :05:09.state of Serbia is doing everything we can to provide shelter for these

:05:10. > :05:14.people and we have managed to provide in a shelter for these

:05:15. > :05:19.people, but they are refusing to be accommodated in official centres.

:05:20. > :05:24.They are distrustful towards us because they are afraid of being

:05:25. > :05:31.deported. In reality, there is not a single real reason for them to be

:05:32. > :05:35.outside the official centres, provided by the state of Serbia. The

:05:36. > :05:45.good news is that we have provided new capacity in Belgrade, so in the

:05:46. > :05:47.next few days everyone will be accommodated officially with heated

:05:48. > :05:54.rooms and three meals a day and proper health care. Some charities,

:05:55. > :05:57.including save the children, are saying that in Belgrade there are

:05:58. > :06:06.1500 migrants, including unaccompanied children, slipping in

:06:07. > :06:09.factories added two spaces. -- sleeping in factories and empty

:06:10. > :06:17.spaces. Is it not your responsibility to make sure those

:06:18. > :06:21.people are catered for? We have done everything we can to persuade them

:06:22. > :06:25.to be accommodated in the centres. We have done everything to care

:06:26. > :06:34.about them. They are persistent and refusing us, so we hope that the new

:06:35. > :06:41.capacity is there will be provided in the next few days are going to be

:06:42. > :06:45.suitable for them and they will trust us that nothing will happen to

:06:46. > :06:51.them if they are accommodated there. It will get a warm room, three meals

:06:52. > :06:57.and proper health care. From the Serbian government departments and

:06:58. > :07:00.refugees. It has been a deadly weekend for migrant strength to make

:07:01. > :07:04.their way to Europe. The Italian cruise guide says a hundred people

:07:05. > :07:08.are missing after the boat sank. Police eight migrants are known to

:07:09. > :07:14.have died. For migrants have died off the coast of southern Spain."

:07:15. > :07:19.Searching for a 21 people in the Mediterranean Sea.

:07:20. > :07:22.Ahead of his inauguration next week, Donald Trump has become embroiled

:07:23. > :07:25.in a row with one of the country's most distinguished civil

:07:26. > :07:28.Congressman John Lewis said he did not consider Mr Trump

:07:29. > :07:30.a legitimate President - prompting an angry response

:07:31. > :07:33.In Washington, civil rights protesters have held a rally

:07:34. > :07:36.at the Martin Luther King Memorial, chanting "no justice, no peace".

:07:37. > :07:38.The Reverend Al Sharpton called on all politicians

:07:39. > :07:58.We have, not to appeal to Donald Trump, because he has made it clear

:07:59. > :08:07.what his policies are and what his nominations are. We come to see to

:08:08. > :08:14.the Democrats in the Senate and in the house and to the moderate

:08:15. > :08:19.Republicans to get some backbone. We need to send you read here to be

:08:20. > :08:20.with me. Live now to Washington,

:08:21. > :08:32.and the BBC's Laura Bicker. Al Sharpton was uncompromising in

:08:33. > :08:38.his words, but what are these protests and the ones coming up next

:08:39. > :08:42.week going to achieve? It is worth remembering when you see

:08:43. > :08:50.those thousands marching along the maul, they stop short a few yards

:08:51. > :08:55.from where Donald Trump will take the growth of office in six days.

:08:56. > :09:00.This march today is one of many double take place over the next

:09:01. > :09:05.week. Many people are just trying to be heard. There are a number of

:09:06. > :09:12.African Americans to see a Donald Trump. Only 8% of African-Americans

:09:13. > :09:15.voted for Donald Trump. When it comes to him being the new

:09:16. > :09:22.commander-in-chief, there are some concerns. There is also the lesbian,

:09:23. > :09:29.gay and bisexual community holding a march and lawyers are marching in

:09:30. > :09:34.some kind of protest as well. The biggest march will be next Saturday,

:09:35. > :09:40.which is the woman's march. It started as a small organisation who

:09:41. > :09:45.said they wanted to March the day following his inauguration that now

:09:46. > :09:49.we know that buses coming the city. Donald Trump has also been

:09:50. > :09:53.criticised by the row here's had with the leading civil rights

:09:54. > :09:59.campaigner. John Lewis was an icon in the 1960s.

:10:00. > :10:06.Here's last surviving speaker of that Martin Luther King march on

:10:07. > :10:09.Washington. When it comes to a member of Congress, he has been

:10:10. > :10:18.there for 30 years and is very well respected. He has the support of

:10:19. > :10:23.many Republicans. During an interview, John Lewis said that he

:10:24. > :10:31.did not recognise Donald Trump is a legitimate resident and would not be

:10:32. > :10:38.attending his inauguration. He said that he believed Russia got him

:10:39. > :10:42.elected. Donald Trump sent a number of messages on Twitter that said

:10:43. > :10:46.John Lewis should spend more time looking after his area and dealing

:10:47. > :10:53.with crime rather than complaining about the election results. All talk

:10:54. > :10:56.and no results. Said this was sad. When it comes to criticism for

:10:57. > :11:02.Donald Trump that has come fast and furious. A number of leading

:11:03. > :11:08.Democrats and entertainers and also members of Donald Trump's own party

:11:09. > :11:13.have elected their of John Lewis. Here are a few of the messages. One

:11:14. > :11:17.from a Republican who says that John Lewis and his top have changed the

:11:18. > :11:25.world. Donald Trump just insulted one of America's's civil icons. The

:11:26. > :11:28.timing of Donald Trump's treat is interesting because this is a

:11:29. > :11:32.holiday weekend in the US where many people are spending the time

:11:33. > :11:37.honouring Martin Luther King, and they have a day off on Monday. To

:11:38. > :11:45.start holiday weekend by treating and criticising is civil rights icon

:11:46. > :11:48.has led to some sharp criticism. Thank you.

:11:49. > :11:50.Let's take a look at some other stories now.

:11:51. > :11:52.Turkey and Russia have decided to invite the United States

:11:53. > :11:57.The talks are due to be held this month in the Kazakh capital, Astana.

:11:58. > :11:59.But the Turkish Foreign Minister said Turkey remained

:12:00. > :12:01.opposed to the inclusion of the Syrian Kurdish

:12:02. > :12:08.A major summit of African heads of state has begun in Mali,

:12:09. > :12:10.with the talks being dominated by the political

:12:11. > :12:17.The Gambian president-elect, Adama Barrow, is attending the summit.

:12:18. > :12:20.It comes after West African leaders failed to persuade long-time ruler,

:12:21. > :12:29.Poland has officially welcomed 3,500 US troops

:12:30. > :12:32.as part of a Nato military build-up on the bloc's eastern front.

:12:33. > :12:36.The troops are part of President Obama's

:12:37. > :12:38.response to Nato concerns about Russian aggression.

:12:39. > :12:42.It's the biggest US troop deployment to Europe in decades.

:12:43. > :12:47.Russia has criticised it as "a threat" to security.

:12:48. > :12:50.Let's go to Florida now, where a teenager who was stolen

:12:51. > :12:53.as a baby from a hospital nearly two decades ago has been found.

:12:54. > :12:55.Kamiyah Mobley was discovered after a tip-off.

:12:56. > :12:57.The woman who raised her in South Caroline has now been

:12:58. > :13:08.This is Kamiyah Mobley with the woman who,

:13:09. > :13:11.for all her life, she believed to be her mother.

:13:12. > :13:14.They'd seemed a perfectly normal and happy family living in a quiet

:13:15. > :13:21.But today, her mother, Gloria Williams, is under arrest,

:13:22. > :13:24.charged with kidnapping Kamiyah after she was born 18 years ago

:13:25. > :13:36.So in South Carolina, we found an 18-year-old young woman,

:13:37. > :13:39.with the same date of birth, but a different name.

:13:40. > :13:41.So further investigation revealed that fraudulent documents had been

:13:42. > :13:42.used to establish that young woman's identity.

:13:43. > :13:44.In interviews with people, it supported the possibility

:13:45. > :13:50.that this young woman may be Kamiyah Mobley.

:13:51. > :13:53.Just after she was born in this hospital in Florida in 1998,

:13:54. > :13:55.Kamiyah was abducted by a woman posing as a nurse.

:13:56. > :13:58.But it was only last year that police received a tip

:13:59. > :14:09.For her biological family, a moment of huge relief.

:14:10. > :14:12.She sounds so intelligent and so respectful and she says

:14:13. > :14:18.For Kamiyah herself, disbelief that the woman she loved

:14:19. > :14:25.as a mother is now accused of being her abductor.

:14:26. > :14:32.Stay with us on BBC News, still to come:

:14:33. > :14:33.A beautiful sight with hidden dangers.

:14:34. > :14:35.We find out how competition between kite-flyers is putting

:14:36. > :15:58.Aid agencies warn that thousands of migrants in the Balkans risk

:15:59. > :15:59.freezing to death in tents and temporary shelters.

:16:00. > :16:01.Donald Trump sparks outrage after criticising a veteran

:16:02. > :16:03.civil rights campaigner who questioned his

:16:04. > :16:12.The Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has warned that moving

:16:13. > :16:15.the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem would deal a huge

:16:16. > :16:19.blow to remaining hopes for Middle East peace.

:16:20. > :16:22.It comes as as major summit is held in Paris -

:16:23. > :16:25.seen as one of the last chances to save the so-called

:16:26. > :16:28.two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

:16:29. > :16:30.Our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell, reports

:16:31. > :16:45.Jerusalem is meant to be a shared capital for Israelis and

:16:46. > :16:51.Palestinians. Living peacefully side-by-side into nations. That is

:16:52. > :16:58.how many seed the two state solution to the conflict. But today, Israel

:16:59. > :17:05.controls most of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the

:17:06. > :17:09.Palestinians wanted their state. Over 600,000 Israeli settlers live

:17:10. > :17:16.in these areas, captured in the 1967 war. We are going further away from

:17:17. > :17:21.the two state solution. The Palestinians were given a chance to

:17:22. > :17:26.set up a Palestinian state, but we know that they completely corrupt

:17:27. > :17:29.and bankrupt. That many in the international community said that

:17:30. > :17:33.settlement expansion is what is undermining a two state solution.

:17:34. > :17:35.You'll the issue of the settlements, compromises were made in the past

:17:36. > :17:43.but money this attempt brought peace until now. But there are new

:17:44. > :17:47.international efforts to push for peace and a Palestinian state to

:17:48. > :17:50.neighbour Israel. Many Israelis welcomed the idea because it

:17:51. > :17:55.recognises the united Jerusalem as their capital. But Palestinians

:17:56. > :18:03.believe it will kill the two state solution. I am a permanent resident

:18:04. > :18:08.but I am not a citizen like any Israeli dues in Jerusalem. Since

:18:09. > :18:13.1967 more than 14,000 residency cards were revoked by the Israeli

:18:14. > :18:17.authorities in the main purpose is to minimise the number of

:18:18. > :18:22.Palestinians living in Jerusalem and to ensure a Jewish majority. Recent

:18:23. > :18:28.opinion polls suggest most Israelis and Palestinians do still support

:18:29. > :18:32.the idea of two states, but only by very narrow margins. On both sides

:18:33. > :18:36.there are fears that chances for a peace deal are fading.

:18:37. > :18:43.Chelsea are seven points clear at the top of the English Premier

:18:44. > :18:46.League after their 12th victory in 13 matches.

:18:47. > :18:54.Dropped after a falling out with the coaching staff.

:18:55. > :18:57.Their 3-0 win over champions Leicester came thanks to two goals

:18:58. > :19:03.And it takes them seven points clear.

:19:04. > :19:06.The leaders were without their star striker,

:19:07. > :19:07.who's reportedly unsettled by a lucrative approach

:19:08. > :19:21.But manager Antonio Conte insists Costa was injured

:19:22. > :19:25.and couldn't train this week and that's why he didn't play.

:19:26. > :19:38.I think in this situation you can listen to a lot of things. In my

:19:39. > :19:45.career and experience, as a coach, if there are problems I'm used to

:19:46. > :19:54.solving them in the changing room. I never do a press conference.

:19:55. > :19:56.Tottenham have gone second thanks to a 4-0 win over West Brom.

:19:57. > :19:59.Their sixth victory in a row in a league.

:20:00. > :20:01.Harry Kane got a hattrick at White Hart Lane at the end

:20:02. > :20:05.of the week he became a father for the first time.

:20:06. > :20:13.The last few times we played they scored first saw it has been a

:20:14. > :20:19.while. We had to go out there and get an early goal and try to finish

:20:20. > :20:20.the game off and we did that in our best performance of the season. It

:20:21. > :20:25.was a great day. While Arsenal also

:20:26. > :20:27.won 4-0 at Swansea. Thanks in part to Olivier Giroud's

:20:28. > :20:36.fifth goal in as many games. That was enough to take them

:20:37. > :20:38.third above Liverpool, Swansea have dropped

:20:39. > :20:43.to the bottom of the table. Elsewhere Burnley won one nil

:20:44. > :20:45.at home to Southampton - the returning Joey Barton

:20:46. > :20:47.with the goal. Hull are off the bottom,

:20:48. > :20:50.beating Bournemouth in Marco Silva's Sunderland lost 3-1

:20:51. > :20:53.at home to Stoke City. Watford and Middlesbrough drew nil

:21:03. > :21:05.minute to register a 1-all draw It's the first major tournament

:21:06. > :21:08.in the country's history. Seth Bennett was watching

:21:09. > :21:18.in Libreville. The Gabon fans arrived at the

:21:19. > :21:21.stadium with plenty of hope that their national team would provide a

:21:22. > :21:27.performance that would live long in their memory. They were treated to a

:21:28. > :21:32.great opening ceremony were plenty of national pride was Sean. The game

:21:33. > :21:38.was pretty dull for the first 45 minutes but hardly a shot on target,

:21:39. > :21:43.but in the second half there was a goal scored from close range. There

:21:44. > :21:50.was to be a late twist on this as the ball was played around nicely

:21:51. > :21:59.and it got a fix that they were not able to get a second. The fans here

:22:00. > :22:05.go home disappointed and frustrated that the home team were unable to

:22:06. > :22:13.turn it into a performance, but for the proponents of it was a night to

:22:14. > :22:17.remember. The other gaming group a sort the favourite team held to a

:22:18. > :22:30.draw. Cameron took the lead in the first half, but then Burkina Faso

:22:31. > :22:35.equalised 40 minutes from time. After the South African open, the

:22:36. > :22:40.British golfer managed to keep his lead. He sunk five birdies and has

:23:03. > :23:04.Kite-flying is often part of major religious festivals,

:23:08. > :24:51.I had been doing some tight shopping in New Delhi, but this is what I was

:24:52. > :24:57.after, a glass coated kite string. It is supposedly banned but it only

:24:58. > :25:09.took a little persuasion for one of the shopkeepers to go to the back

:25:10. > :25:15.and sell me one. Kite flying can be done with the cotton thread, you do

:25:16. > :25:23.not need to use a sharp objects that might hurt someone or kill hundreds

:25:24. > :25:26.of thousands of birds. A sport should not be enjoyment from one
