as Europe prepares for more snow and cold weather. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Aid agencies warn that thousands of migrants in the Balkans risk | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
freezing to death in tents and temporary shelters. | :00:19. | :00:24. | |

And in football, Chelsea beat Premier Champions Leicester to go | :00:39. | :00:40. | |

Serbia's migrant spokesman has defended his country's handling | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
of the extreme cold weather that's claimed dozens of lives across | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Ivan Miskovic has told BBC News that many have refused shelters, | :01:06. | :01:14. | |
15,000 people are living in tents as far South as Greece, | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
including the islands of Lesbos and Samos. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
Aid agencies warn they are at risk of freezing to death. | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
It's in the Balkans, though, where the situation | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
We'll have that interview with a Serbian official in a moment, | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
The cold snap is tightening its grip. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Claiming more than 65 lives across Europe. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Causing traffic chaos, power cuts and travel delays. | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
The Balkans have been particularly hard hit. | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
Temperatures have been as low as -15 for several days. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
There is major concern about the plight of refugees, | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Some are being sheltered in reception centres. | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
But 1,200 are living in a derelict warehouse in Belgrade, | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
It's very cold, and we are just making fire. | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
But still we can keep warm ourselves. | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
We're trying to leave this country and go to European countries. | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
But we are stuck because of the borders. | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
There are calls for governments across Europe to do more. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
It will only take one more snow storm or another cold snap | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
and we're going to see some, some children, you know, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Children are particularly prone to respiratory illnesses | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
It's about saving lives, not about red tape and keeping | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
to bureaucratic arrangements at the moment. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
River traffic along the Danube, one of Europe's main waterways, | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
has largely been suspended in Eastern Europe due to the ice. | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
In Wengen in Switzerland, a famous downhill race | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
in the Skiing World Cup had to be cancelled because of too much snow. | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
More than 40 centimetres fell overnight. | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Powerful winds added to the complications, | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
with organisers eventually having to admit the race | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
And the warning is that more bad weather is on the way. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Well, Ivan Miskovic is a spokesman for the Serbian Government's | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
This is what he had to say about the situation. At this moment there are | :03:29. | :03:43. | |
more than 7000 migrants in the Republic of Serbia. Out of that | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
number, 6000 are accommodated in official centres manage that the | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
department for refugees, and more than 1000 around the centre of the | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
city. What other conditions like? The conditions in the form of sites, | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
the people living here are battling with harsh conditions in freezing | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
temperatures, so this is inadequate for anybody. We have a campaign | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
trying to persuade them to go to the centres, to be accommodated in the | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
official heated rooms and Friday will be provided with meals and | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
health care. Unfortunately is still got back only 400 people -- | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
unfortunately only 400 people are being persuaded. There are no women | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
or children in the public places in the city centre of Belgrade, so | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
there is a good result, but more than 1000 migrants are slipping in | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
public places. Whose responsibility is it to sort the situation? The | :04:57. | :05:05. | |
state of Serbia is doing everything we can to provide shelter for these | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
people and we have managed to provide in a shelter for these | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
people, but they are refusing to be accommodated in official centres. | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
They are distrustful towards us because they are afraid of being | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
deported. In reality, there is not a single real reason for them to be | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
outside the official centres, provided by the state of Serbia. The | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
good news is that we have provided new capacity in Belgrade, so in the | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
next few days everyone will be accommodated officially with heated | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
rooms and three meals a day and proper health care. Some charities, | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
including save the children, are saying that in Belgrade there are | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
1500 migrants, including unaccompanied children, slipping in | :05:58. | :06:06. | |
factories added two spaces. -- sleeping in factories and empty | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
spaces. Is it not your responsibility to make sure those | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
people are catered for? We have done everything we can to persuade them | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
to be accommodated in the centres. We have done everything to care | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
about them. They are persistent and refusing us, so we hope that the new | :06:26. | :06:34. | |
capacity is there will be provided in the next few days are going to be | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
suitable for them and they will trust us that nothing will happen to | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
them if they are accommodated there. It will get a warm room, three meals | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
and proper health care. From the Serbian government departments and | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
refugees. It has been a deadly weekend for migrant strength to make | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
their way to Europe. The Italian cruise guide says a hundred people | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
are missing after the boat sank. Police eight migrants are known to | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
have died. For migrants have died off the coast of southern Spain." | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
Searching for a 21 people in the Mediterranean Sea. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Ahead of his inauguration next week, Donald Trump has become embroiled | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
in a row with one of the country's most distinguished civil | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Congressman John Lewis said he did not consider Mr Trump | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
a legitimate President - prompting an angry response | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
In Washington, civil rights protesters have held a rally | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
at the Martin Luther King Memorial, chanting "no justice, no peace". | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
The Reverend Al Sharpton called on all politicians | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
We have, not to appeal to Donald Trump, because he has made it clear | :07:39. | :07:58. | |
what his policies are and what his nominations are. We come to see to | :07:59. | :08:07. | |
the Democrats in the Senate and in the house and to the moderate | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
Republicans to get some backbone. We need to send you read here to be | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
with me. Live now to Washington, | :08:20. | :08:20. | |
and the BBC's Laura Bicker. Al Sharpton was uncompromising in | :08:21. | :08:32. | |
his words, but what are these protests and the ones coming up next | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
week going to achieve? It is worth remembering when you see | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
those thousands marching along the maul, they stop short a few yards | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
from where Donald Trump will take the growth of office in six days. | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
This march today is one of many double take place over the next | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
week. Many people are just trying to be heard. There are a number of | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
African Americans to see a Donald Trump. Only 8% of African-Americans | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
voted for Donald Trump. When it comes to him being the new | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
commander-in-chief, there are some concerns. There is also the lesbian, | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
gay and bisexual community holding a march and lawyers are marching in | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
some kind of protest as well. The biggest march will be next Saturday, | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
which is the woman's march. It started as a small organisation who | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
said they wanted to March the day following his inauguration that now | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
we know that buses coming the city. Donald Trump has also been | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
criticised by the row here's had with the leading civil rights | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
campaigner. John Lewis was an icon in the 1960s. | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Here's last surviving speaker of that Martin Luther King march on | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
Washington. When it comes to a member of Congress, he has been | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
there for 30 years and is very well respected. He has the support of | :10:10. | :10:18. | |
many Republicans. During an interview, John Lewis said that he | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
did not recognise Donald Trump is a legitimate resident and would not be | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
attending his inauguration. He said that he believed Russia got him | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
elected. Donald Trump sent a number of messages on Twitter that said | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
John Lewis should spend more time looking after his area and dealing | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
with crime rather than complaining about the election results. All talk | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
and no results. Said this was sad. When it comes to criticism for | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
Donald Trump that has come fast and furious. A number of leading | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
Democrats and entertainers and also members of Donald Trump's own party | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
have elected their of John Lewis. Here are a few of the messages. One | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
from a Republican who says that John Lewis and his top have changed the | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
world. Donald Trump just insulted one of America's's civil icons. The | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
timing of Donald Trump's treat is interesting because this is a | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
holiday weekend in the US where many people are spending the time | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
honouring Martin Luther King, and they have a day off on Monday. To | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
start holiday weekend by treating and criticising is civil rights icon | :11:38. | :11:45. | |
has led to some sharp criticism. Thank you. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
Let's take a look at some other stories now. | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
Turkey and Russia have decided to invite the United States | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
The talks are due to be held this month in the Kazakh capital, Astana. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
But the Turkish Foreign Minister said Turkey remained | :11:58. | :11:59. | |
opposed to the inclusion of the Syrian Kurdish | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
A major summit of African heads of state has begun in Mali, | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
with the talks being dominated by the political | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
The Gambian president-elect, Adama Barrow, is attending the summit. | :12:11. | :12:17. | |
It comes after West African leaders failed to persuade long-time ruler, | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
Poland has officially welcomed 3,500 US troops | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
as part of a Nato military build-up on the bloc's eastern front. | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
The troops are part of President Obama's | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
response to Nato concerns about Russian aggression. | :12:37. | :12:38. | |
It's the biggest US troop deployment to Europe in decades. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
Russia has criticised it as "a threat" to security. | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
Let's go to Florida now, where a teenager who was stolen | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
as a baby from a hospital nearly two decades ago has been found. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Kamiyah Mobley was discovered after a tip-off. | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
The woman who raised her in South Caroline has now been | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
This is Kamiyah Mobley with the woman who, | :12:58. | :13:08. | |
for all her life, she believed to be her mother. | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
They'd seemed a perfectly normal and happy family living in a quiet | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
But today, her mother, Gloria Williams, is under arrest, | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
charged with kidnapping Kamiyah after she was born 18 years ago | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
So in South Carolina, we found an 18-year-old young woman, | :13:25. | :13:36. | |
with the same date of birth, but a different name. | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
So further investigation revealed that fraudulent documents had been | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
used to establish that young woman's identity. | :13:42. | :13:42. | |
In interviews with people, it supported the possibility | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
that this young woman may be Kamiyah Mobley. | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
Just after she was born in this hospital in Florida in 1998, | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
Kamiyah was abducted by a woman posing as a nurse. | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
But it was only last year that police received a tip | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
For her biological family, a moment of huge relief. | :13:59. | :14:09. | |
She sounds so intelligent and so respectful and she says | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
For Kamiyah herself, disbelief that the woman she loved | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
as a mother is now accused of being her abductor. | :14:19. | :14:25. | |

Donald Trump sparks outrage after criticising a veteran | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
civil rights campaigner who questioned his | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
The Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has warned that moving | :16:04. | :16:12. | |
the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem would deal a huge | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
blow to remaining hopes for Middle East peace. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
It comes as as major summit is held in Paris - | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
seen as one of the last chances to save the so-called | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
Our Middle East correspondent, Yolande Knell, reports | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
Jerusalem is meant to be a shared capital for Israelis and | :16:31. | :16:45. | |
Palestinians. Living peacefully side-by-side into nations. That is | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
how many seed the two state solution to the conflict. But today, Israel | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
controls most of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which the | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
Palestinians wanted their state. Over 600,000 Israeli settlers live | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
in these areas, captured in the 1967 war. We are going further away from | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
the two state solution. The Palestinians were given a chance to | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
set up a Palestinian state, but we know that they completely corrupt | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
and bankrupt. That many in the international community said that | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
settlement expansion is what is undermining a two state solution. | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
You'll the issue of the settlements, compromises were made in the past | :17:34. | :17:35. | |
but money this attempt brought peace until now. But there are new | :17:36. | :17:43. | |
international efforts to push for peace and a Palestinian state to | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
neighbour Israel. Many Israelis welcomed the idea because it | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
recognises the united Jerusalem as their capital. But Palestinians | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
believe it will kill the two state solution. I am a permanent resident | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
but I am not a citizen like any Israeli dues in Jerusalem. Since | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
1967 more than 14,000 residency cards were revoked by the Israeli | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
authorities in the main purpose is to minimise the number of | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Palestinians living in Jerusalem and to ensure a Jewish majority. Recent | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
opinion polls suggest most Israelis and Palestinians do still support | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
the idea of two states, but only by very narrow margins. On both sides | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
there are fears that chances for a peace deal are fading. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
Chelsea are seven points clear at the top of the English Premier | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
League after their 12th victory in 13 matches. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
Dropped after a falling out with the coaching staff. | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
Their 3-0 win over champions Leicester came thanks to two goals | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
And it takes them seven points clear. | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
The leaders were without their star striker, | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
who's reportedly unsettled by a lucrative approach | :19:07. | :19:07. | |
But manager Antonio Conte insists Costa was injured | :19:08. | :19:21. | |
and couldn't train this week and that's why he didn't play. | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
I think in this situation you can listen to a lot of things. In my | :19:26. | :19:38. | |
career and experience, as a coach, if there are problems I'm used to | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
solving them in the changing room. I never do a press conference. | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
Tottenham have gone second thanks to a 4-0 win over West Brom. | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
Their sixth victory in a row in a league. | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Harry Kane got a hattrick at White Hart Lane at the end | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
of the week he became a father for the first time. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
The last few times we played they scored first saw it has been a | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
while. We had to go out there and get an early goal and try to finish | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
the game off and we did that in our best performance of the season. It | :20:20. | :20:20. | |
was a great day. While Arsenal also | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
won 4-0 at Swansea. Thanks in part to Olivier Giroud's | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
fifth goal in as many games. That was enough to take them | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
third above Liverpool, Swansea have dropped | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
to the bottom of the table. Elsewhere Burnley won one nil | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
at home to Southampton - the returning Joey Barton | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
with the goal. Hull are off the bottom, | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
beating Bournemouth in Marco Silva's Sunderland lost 3-1 | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
at home to Stoke City. Watford and Middlesbrough drew nil | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
nil and Sam Allardyce saw his Crystal Palace side lose | :20:54. | :20:55. | |
three nil on their visit The opening match of the Africa Cup | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
of Nations produced a shock, as Guinea Bissau scored in the last | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
minute to register a 1-all draw It's the first major tournament | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
in the country's history. Seth Bennett was watching | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
in Libreville. The Gabon fans arrived at the | :21:09. | :21:18. | |
stadium with plenty of hope that their national team would provide a | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
performance that would live long in their memory. They were treated to a | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
great opening ceremony were plenty of national pride was Sean. The game | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
was pretty dull for the first 45 minutes but hardly a shot on target, | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
but in the second half there was a goal scored from close range. There | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
was to be a late twist on this as the ball was played around nicely | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
and it got a fix that they were not able to get a second. The fans here | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
