:00:00. > :00:12.The headlines: Germany's Chancellor Merkel and President Trump hold

:00:13. > :00:16.He denies he's an isolationist and defends his tough

:00:17. > :00:26.Immigration is a privilege, not a right. The safety of our citizens

:00:27. > :00:31.must always come first. A cautious Angela Merkel stressed

:00:32. > :00:40.the need for compromise We held a conversation while we are

:00:41. > :00:45.trying to address also those areas where we disagree and try to bring

:00:46. > :00:49.people together and show what is our vantage point and the Bennigan --

:00:50. > :00:52.the American vantage point and try and find compromise.

:00:53. > :00:53.Hungary's tough stance against migration.

:00:54. > :00:55.The government's building container camps for asylum-seekers

:00:56. > :01:02.How not getting enough has a damaging impact

:01:03. > :01:22.It's a meeting that could have huge implications for the future

:01:23. > :01:27.The German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been meeting Donald Trump

:01:28. > :01:32.The summit has been highly anticipated given that the two

:01:33. > :01:36.leaders have publicly differed on several key issues.

:01:37. > :01:41.Mr Trump has called Mrs Merkel's migration policy "catastrophic"

:01:42. > :01:43.In the last few minutes, the two leaders appeared

:01:44. > :01:59.It was a fairly businesslike and quite measured press conference,

:02:00. > :02:03.given how these two leaders are so different in personality and

:02:04. > :02:08.worldview and policy position. They stated those positions but they also

:02:09. > :02:11.reached out and emphasised areas of commonality where they had them but

:02:12. > :02:16.when there were not those areas they made sure the differences were known

:02:17. > :02:20.as well. A bit like setting up the agenda before they really went into

:02:21. > :02:28.to them in socks. Also setting up the agenda as they try to reset the

:02:29. > :02:34.new relationship. -- went into the clocks. Here is a bit of what Tom

:02:35. > :02:40.had to say. We recognise immigration security is national security. We

:02:41. > :02:45.must protect our citizens from those who seek to spread extremism,

:02:46. > :02:49.terrorism and violence inside our borders. Immigration is a privilege,

:02:50. > :02:58.not a right. The safety of our citizens must always come first.

:02:59. > :03:03.Without question. Over lunch the Chancellor and I will talk about our

:03:04. > :03:09.economic partnership, we must work together towards a fair and

:03:10. > :03:16.reciprocal trade policies. That benefit both of our people's.

:03:17. > :03:19.Millions of hard-working US citizens have been left behind by

:03:20. > :03:27.International commerce and together we can shape the future were all of

:03:28. > :03:32.our citizens have a path to financial security. The United

:03:33. > :03:35.States will respect historic institutions and we will also

:03:36. > :03:42.recognise the right of free people to manage their own destiny. The

:03:43. > :03:49.close friendship between America and Germany is built on our shared

:03:50. > :03:56.values. We cherish individual rights, we uphold the rule of law

:03:57. > :04:02.and we seek peace among nations. Our alliance is a symbol of strength and

:04:03. > :04:10.cooperation to the world. It is the foundation of a very, very hopeful

:04:11. > :04:14.future. Thank you. This is of course quite an

:04:15. > :04:18.adjustment for an good -- Angela Merkel because she had a good

:04:19. > :04:21.working relationship with President Obama and Donald Trump is a very

:04:22. > :04:25.different character and one who has been quite critical of her. He

:04:26. > :04:30.criticised for quite a lot during his campaign and said she bought the

:04:31. > :04:34.Germany to ruin because of her open-door immigration policy which

:04:35. > :04:37.had been a catastrophe. She did research quite what the poor comment

:04:38. > :04:44.and read his speeches and interviews and sweets and try to come up they

:04:45. > :04:50.could work together. -- she did research a lot before coming. As it

:04:51. > :04:53.is important for both countries. She said it is important to talk with

:04:54. > :05:00.each other than about each other. Here is what she had to say. I am

:05:01. > :05:03.here as Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany and represent

:05:04. > :05:12.German interests and speak with the president of the United States who

:05:13. > :05:16.stands up for, as is right, American interests and it is our respective

:05:17. > :05:19.tasks and I must say I was very gratifying to know the warm and

:05:20. > :05:24.gracious hospitality with which I was received here and we held a

:05:25. > :05:28.conversation where we try to address those areas where we disagree and

:05:29. > :05:32.also bring people together and show what is our vantage point and what

:05:33. > :05:35.is the American vantage point and try to find a compromise that is

:05:36. > :05:41.good for both sides because we need to be fair with each other. Everyone

:05:42. > :05:46.expects from them without something good to come out of it from their

:05:47. > :05:51.people. People have different abilities, different

:05:52. > :05:55.characteristics, different origins, and have found their way into

:05:56. > :06:00.politics along different pathways and while that is diversity, which

:06:01. > :06:03.is good, sometimes it is difficult to find compromise, but that is what

:06:04. > :06:08.we have been elected for. If everything went without problem you

:06:09. > :06:15.do not need politicians to do this job. The body language seemed a bit

:06:16. > :06:18.stiff and wary, perhaps, but towards the end Mr Trump brought in a new

:06:19. > :06:22.element and talk about another way you may have something in common

:06:23. > :06:27.watch is President Obama ordering a wiretap of their phones. There is

:06:28. > :06:31.evidence Mr Obama did that for Angela Merkel but there is no

:06:32. > :06:34.evidence so far he did that for Mr Trump although the president

:06:35. > :06:38.continues to see it happen. It bought out quite a laugh in the room

:06:39. > :06:41.and that perhaps created the environment for talks that might

:06:42. > :06:53.happen with a bit more ease once they got off the podium. That rather

:06:54. > :06:58.delayed press conference, let's see whether they were getting on very

:06:59. > :07:02.well or not very well. She mentioned the body language there.

:07:03. > :07:05.With me is Judi James, an expert in body language.

:07:06. > :07:11.Angela Merkel had that great relationship with President Obama,

:07:12. > :07:17.what do you make of this initial contact these two have had together?

:07:18. > :07:22.It was extraordinary body language. Angela Merkel, spelt most of her

:07:23. > :07:27.political -- spent most of her career path that and hub like a mill

:07:28. > :07:31.politicians so this would be what can a part for her but what was

:07:32. > :07:37.interesting was the greeting rituals. He performed what is called

:07:38. > :07:43.an act of inconvenience and right up to the car. It was very friendly.

:07:44. > :07:47.When we do that that is a very respected guest suite came right up

:07:48. > :07:51.to the car and at a very warm handshake and tilted his head and

:07:52. > :07:57.actually Lord himself which in a animal terms is submissive

:07:58. > :08:02.behaviour. -- Lord himself down. So far so good at that stage. Then we

:08:03. > :08:10.see them inside the oval office and the body language changes. I need to

:08:11. > :08:13.know what happened between the greeting. It almost looked like

:08:14. > :08:18.suddenly, when you go to parents of the School and you have the sulky

:08:19. > :08:23.teenager and will not play ball and she is being very appeasing, she is

:08:24. > :08:30.leaning on her chair, looking at them and trying to get some rapport

:08:31. > :08:35.going but he turned his chair away, he has got the sulky what on jaw and

:08:36. > :08:41.then he is using a downward steeple. -- sulky bottom jaw. He does a

:08:42. > :08:46.metronomic gesture and if you want to say, let's finish this because I

:08:47. > :08:51.am fed up being here will stop then you the moment you try to get him

:08:52. > :08:55.shake hands and he just did not want to know. At a slightly different to

:08:56. > :09:02.what we sought when he met the British Prime Minister Theresa May.

:09:03. > :09:04.That was in January this year but that was completely different

:09:05. > :09:10.because we sought that handholds. A lot was discussed about that. What

:09:11. > :09:17.was your interpretation? They were quite frosty. This stood quite a way

:09:18. > :09:21.away and she was very regal and somebody said, did you know the help

:09:22. > :09:26.hands on the back of the White House. It was a very brief. They

:09:27. > :09:31.were not walking along like lovestruck people, he just put his

:09:32. > :09:36.hand out and touched it slightly. I would say, I have not seen him do it

:09:37. > :09:49.with any of the male world leaders yet. Back to today, they are both

:09:50. > :09:53.podium facing away but they are looking at each other so that seems

:09:54. > :09:57.to be some kind of relationship, they are at least listening to each

:09:58. > :10:01.other. Given that he would look at her like, do you want to answer this

:10:02. > :10:05.one? When you see that you're seeing more of a team forming. His problem

:10:06. > :10:09.is he has this phobia about the press so when he starts to get

:10:10. > :10:13.tricky questions and you can see the anger spilling out into his body

:10:14. > :10:18.language and by then it is almost as if she is not there and he becomes

:10:19. > :10:21.obsessed with his aggression against the press asking difficult

:10:22. > :10:25.questions. Thank you for bringing those nuances

:10:26. > :10:30.that, quite frankly, most of us would have missed.

:10:31. > :10:43.One of the issues discussed was wiretapping.

:10:44. > :10:53.Lots to discuss over this potential wiretapping. President Trump's

:10:54. > :10:56.spokesman says he will not repeat suggestions British security

:10:57. > :11:01.services spied on Donald Trump before he took office. These are

:11:02. > :11:04.linked to Mr Trump's claims and has caused real anger in the UK

:11:05. > :11:06.intelligence services. Britain's GCHQ surveillance agency -

:11:07. > :11:10.secretly listening in, said the White House,

:11:11. > :11:12.on President-Elect Donald Not true, says GCHQ,

:11:13. > :11:18.in a rare public rebuttal. It all began with a tweet,

:11:19. > :11:25.with Donald Trump alleging on social media Barack Obama had ordered

:11:26. > :11:29.the tapping of his phone calls Then came the claim, from Fox News,

:11:30. > :11:37.that GCHQ may have been behind it. Sources have told Fox News

:11:38. > :11:39.that President Obama could very easily have,

:11:40. > :11:42.and probably did, use a foreign intelligence service to gather this

:11:43. > :11:45.information for him. The probable culprit

:11:46. > :11:50.here is called GCHQ. The next thing, that unsubstantiated

:11:51. > :11:52.claim was being quoted That triggered alarm

:11:53. > :11:59.bells in Whitehall. I'm told it was serious enough

:12:00. > :12:02.to be considered a threat It prompted this

:12:03. > :12:07.unprecedented denial by GCHQ. Recent allegations, it said,

:12:08. > :12:11.made by media commentator Judge Andrew Napolitano about GCHQ

:12:12. > :12:15.being asked to conduct wiretapping against the then

:12:16. > :12:20.President-Elect are nonsense. They are utterly ridiculous

:12:21. > :12:23.and should be ignored. This is just not

:12:24. > :12:26.something GCHQ does. The legislation under which it

:12:27. > :12:30.operates doesn't allow it to happen. The governance and the oversight

:12:31. > :12:33.of the organisation just does not I think, in this case,

:12:34. > :12:37.it is absolutely clear this If Donald Trump was embarrassed,

:12:38. > :12:45.he wasn't showing it today - seen here meeting the German

:12:46. > :12:48.Chancellor, Angela Merkel. His administration has promised not

:12:49. > :12:50.to repeat these allegations, So, what is the damage

:12:51. > :12:58.to relations with Washington? MI6, MI5 and GCHQ, Britain's three

:12:59. > :13:01.spy agencies, all have incredibly close working relationships

:13:02. > :13:05.with their US counterparts. Whitehall officials insisted

:13:06. > :13:06.today that partnership remains as strong as ever,

:13:07. > :13:08.despite the controversy Still, it is a bad day

:13:09. > :13:16.for Western intelligence, when Britain has to publicly

:13:17. > :13:19.contradict a statement coming out of the highest office

:13:20. > :13:21.of its closest partner, Frank Gardner, BBC News, outside MI6

:13:22. > :13:33.headquarters in central London. Rex Tillerson, the American

:13:34. > :13:34.Secretary of State, He is ruling nothing out

:13:35. > :13:38.in dealing with the country - Speaking after talks

:13:39. > :13:42.with South Korean leaders, Mr Tillerson, said a policy

:13:43. > :13:44.of strategic patience Mr Tillerson came here

:13:45. > :13:56.with a particular message That is the ironclad alliance,

:13:57. > :14:02.as he calls it, between the US and South Korea will remain,

:14:03. > :14:07.whoever wins power in elections here We wait to see what exactly

:14:08. > :14:15.the new policy will be. The policy of strategic

:14:16. > :14:20.patience has ended. We are exploring a new

:14:21. > :14:24.range of diplomatic, North Korea must

:14:25. > :14:32.understand the only path to a secure, economic and prosperous

:14:33. > :14:36.future is to abandon its development of nuclear weapons, ballistic

:14:37. > :14:38.missiles and other We call on other regional

:14:39. > :14:48.powers and all nations to join us in demanding the North

:14:49. > :14:51.Korean Government choose a better path and a different

:14:52. > :14:52.future for its people. Beyond the actual words, the tone

:14:53. > :14:56.of the press conference was the moment North Korea has the ability

:14:57. > :15:00.to hit the continental United States with nuclear weapons

:15:01. > :15:03.is a moment of real crisis. And military options really

:15:04. > :15:14.will be on the table then. Now a look at some of

:15:15. > :15:19.the days other news. The deaths of dozens of Somali

:15:20. > :15:22.refugees, whose boat was attacked off Yemen's Red Sea coast,

:15:23. > :15:24.has appalled the UN refugee agency. More than forty bodies have been

:15:25. > :15:27.recovered and survivors have been It's still not clear

:15:28. > :15:33.who was behind the attack. Syria has confirmed that it tried

:15:34. > :15:36.to shoot down Israeli warplanes that Israel's military says

:15:37. > :15:41.all the planes returned safely and one of the anti-aircraft

:15:42. > :15:43.missiles was intercepted. It's rare for Israel to admit

:15:44. > :15:50.to air strikes in Syria. Egyptian archaeologists say that

:15:51. > :15:53.a vast statue uncovered in a suburb of Cairo last week is not

:15:54. > :15:55.of Pharaoh Ramses II, It's now believed to depict a much

:15:56. > :16:09.later king, Psamtek I. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor

:16:10. > :16:13.Orban has announced that a second line of fence along his

:16:14. > :16:17.country's border with Serbia Mr Orban said it would be able

:16:18. > :16:24.to prevent any new wave Hungary is also pushing ahead

:16:25. > :16:27.with the construction of two container camps for

:16:28. > :16:29.asylum-seekers on the border. When Hungary says it is taking tough

:16:30. > :16:36.action to stop migration, It is holding these migrants

:16:37. > :16:44.at a detention centre We are allowed to speak

:16:45. > :16:50.to them from the street. We are not terrorists,

:16:51. > :16:52.we are not criminals. But Hungary sees no

:16:53. > :17:06.reason to back down. This month, the Prime Minister

:17:07. > :17:12.Viktor Orban took charge of a new A new law now gives

:17:13. > :17:18.the government even more power Hungary plans to hold them

:17:19. > :17:28.all in these containers it is setting up next

:17:29. > :17:33.to the border with Serbia. "These are civilised places to live

:17:34. > :17:36.in", the contractor says. "European workers certainly

:17:37. > :17:39.find them acceptable". Hungary says that the migrants to be

:17:40. > :17:45.held in these containers would be free to leave at any time,

:17:46. > :17:49.so long as they head in just They would be free to walk

:17:50. > :17:58.just a few metres down here and they would cross back

:17:59. > :18:01.into Serbia, away from the EU, These young migrants are stuck

:18:02. > :18:08.on the Serbian side. The rest of the European Union

:18:09. > :18:12.may publicly criticise the actions of Hungary but,

:18:13. > :18:14.quietly, Europe may put up with anything that

:18:15. > :18:17.keeps migrants back. James Reynolds, BBC News,

:18:18. > :18:23.on the Hungary/Serbia border. The Nobel Prize winning poet

:18:24. > :18:26.and playwright Sir Derek Walcott has died at his home in St Lucia

:18:27. > :18:30.at the age of 87. Sir Derek first gained international

:18:31. > :18:34.attention in the 1960s, with poems that explored the history

:18:35. > :18:38.and culture of the Caribbean. He was considered one of the key

:18:39. > :18:40.voices of West Indian literature and was vocal about his love

:18:41. > :18:43.for the culture and Researchers in Oxford have developed

:18:44. > :18:54.a machine for people who are hard of hearing,

:18:55. > :18:58.that can lip-read more And they've developed

:18:59. > :19:05.the technology by watching news presenters here at the BBC,

:19:06. > :19:07.as our Technology Correspondent At the Action for Hearing Loss

:19:08. > :19:13.charity, Edward is trying to have a conversation

:19:14. > :19:19.with a colleague. With lots of noise coming

:19:20. > :19:22.into the office from the street, his lip-reading skills

:19:23. > :19:23.come in useful. It can be very hard as well

:19:24. > :19:27.because sometimes some words can sound the same or could be lip-read

:19:28. > :19:30.the same, and so it's all about getting into context

:19:31. > :19:33.and seeing what people actually talk But in Oxford, research is under

:19:34. > :19:38.way to teach computers It's involved training an artificial

:19:39. > :19:46.intelligence system using thousands So the box around the lips is the

:19:47. > :19:52.region that the AI system is seeing. Joon Son Chung, whose project this

:19:53. > :19:56.is, shares Edward's view So lip-reading is a very difficult

:19:57. > :20:03.problem because there are visual For example pat, bat and mat

:20:04. > :20:10.are visually identical. By endlessly watching clips

:20:11. > :20:13.of Breakfast, Newsnight and other BBC News programmes,

:20:14. > :20:17.the computer teaches What the system does is learn things

:20:18. > :20:22.that occur together. So in this case they're the mouth

:20:23. > :20:25.shapes and the characters, and what the likely upcoming

:20:26. > :20:27.characters are, given Let's try it with some words it

:20:28. > :20:33.already understands. The Prime Minister is at

:20:34. > :20:36.a European Union summit. Now, the system has heard those

:20:37. > :20:40.words in that context before But to get better, it will have

:20:41. > :20:46.to chew through a lot more data. There's a long way to go

:20:47. > :20:48.but the hearing loss charity This would help people

:20:49. > :20:53.with when they're watching subtitles on television,

:20:54. > :20:55.this will help people when they're out and about in very noisy

:20:56. > :20:58.environments and it's by no means technology that will replace

:20:59. > :21:01.a professional lip-reader. It's something that would very much

:21:02. > :21:04.support professional lip-readers to improve the accuracy of the work

:21:05. > :21:07.that they do. Right now the technology only works

:21:08. > :21:11.on full sentences in recorded clips. The next stage is to

:21:12. > :21:13.make it work live. But first the computer

:21:14. > :21:16.is going to be watching A security sniffer dog has been shot

:21:17. > :21:30.dead at New Zealand's biggest airport after running away

:21:31. > :21:32.from its handler. The 10-month old disrupted flights

:21:33. > :21:38.as it evaded capture around Animal rights groups have asked why

:21:39. > :21:42.the dog couldn't have been We do not believe it was the last

:21:43. > :22:34.resort because I do not see the tranquiliser gun

:22:35. > :22:35.being mentioned at all. They were chasing him

:22:36. > :22:49.for many hours. It's World Sleep day today -

:22:50. > :22:52.and we all know how important it is to get enough sleep -

:22:53. > :22:56.but what about the bottom line here? According to the Rand corporation -

:22:57. > :22:59.lack of sleep is costing the world economy billions of dollars

:23:00. > :23:00.in lost productivity. Our reporter Theo Leggett managed

:23:01. > :23:03.to stay up just long enough Now, we all know that we need

:23:04. > :23:10.to sleep and some of us probably But what happens if

:23:11. > :23:15.you do not get enough? What could it mean for your ability

:23:16. > :23:18.to do your job, for example? To find out more, I have come

:23:19. > :23:22.here to the Clinical Research Centre at the University of Surrey

:23:23. > :23:24.where they study sleep, and in particular,

:23:25. > :23:30.what happens to your brain So I'm just going to go over a few

:23:31. > :23:35.things that we will do This doctor is a research
