0:00:08 > 0:00:14Hello this is BBC World News today, I'm Ben Bland. The top stories.
0:00:14 > 0:00:20A new war of words between North Korea and the US on the eve of the
0:00:20 > 0:00:25biggest ever US- South Korean air drills. Crazy to send spouses and
0:00:25 > 0:00:30children to South Korea given the provocation of North Korea, I want
0:00:30 > 0:00:35them to stop sending dependence. Egyptian presidential hopeful Ahmad
0:00:35 > 0:00:39Shafiq denies being kidnapped after turning up in the capital. On the
0:00:39 > 0:00:43eve of crucial talks in Brussels domestic pressure mounts on UK Prime
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Minister Theresa May to demand guarantees before any divorce bill
0:00:47 > 0:00:51is paid and skywatchers get their first glimpse of a larger and
0:00:51 > 0:01:04brighter looking moon as it reaches its closest point to earth.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Welcome to BBC World News, North Korea has accused the United States
0:01:19 > 0:01:24of being a warmonger on the eve of joint military exercises between the
0:01:24 > 0:01:30US and South Korea, Monday struggles of the largest ever involving US and
0:01:30 > 0:01:33South Korean troops. President Trump's National Security adviser
0:01:33 > 0:01:37has said the US and its allies are in a race to tackle the problem of
0:01:37 > 0:01:40North Korea before the secretive state achieves its nuclear
0:01:40 > 0:01:45ambitions. This report.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47American military might on display near the Korean peninsula.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Here, a rare sight.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Three US aircraft carriers, so-called super carriers,
0:01:50 > 0:01:59brought together last month for the first time in a decade.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02And now the US decision to hold another round of air exercises has
0:02:02 > 0:02:03raised tensions again.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06On Monday five days of air drills will begin, the largest ever
0:02:06 > 0:02:08joint drills with US and South Korean forces.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11They will simulate air strikes on mock North Korean nuclear
0:02:11 > 0:02:19and missile targets.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21This comes as President Trump's national security adviser warns
0:02:21 > 0:02:23the possibility of war with Pyongyang is
0:02:23 > 0:02:24increasing by the day.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The greatest immediate threat to the United States,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30and to the world, is the threat posed by the rogue regime
0:02:30 > 0:02:34in North Korea, and his continued efforts to develop
0:02:34 > 0:02:37a long-range nuclear capability.
0:02:37 > 0:02:44There are ways to address this problem, short of armed
0:02:44 > 0:02:46conflict, but it is a race, because he is getting closer
0:02:46 > 0:02:56and closer, and there's not much time left.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00In North Korea news of the military exercises drew dire warnings.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02TRANSLATION:If the Korean peninsula and the world are embroiled
0:03:02 > 0:03:05in the crucible of a nuclear war, because of the reckless nuclear war
0:03:05 > 0:03:08mania of the United States, the US must take full
0:03:08 > 0:03:10responsibility for it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13On Friday North Korea held a mass event celebrating the success
0:03:13 > 0:03:19of recent weapons tests.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21The latest one sent a missile higher than ever before,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23putting the continental United States in striking range.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Now Pyongyang is rushing to perfect its weapons technology,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27including the development of a nuclear warhead that
0:03:27 > 0:03:29can fit on a missile.
0:03:29 > 0:03:37Kim Jong-un is getting closer to his nuclear ambitions.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Here he inspects a factory making tyres for missile launch vehicles.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Some are quick to brush off the exchange of threats
0:03:42 > 0:03:47between Kim Jong-un and the Trump administration, dismissing
0:03:47 > 0:03:51them as bluster.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53But as the US and North Korea ramp up their military capabilities,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56making no secret the other is the target, it raises
0:03:56 > 0:04:00the prospect that one misstep and one miscalculation could ignite
0:04:00 > 0:04:09a sudden military confrontation, claiming hundreds of thousands,
0:04:09 > 0:04:10if not millions, of lives.
0:04:10 > 0:04:17Celia Hatton, BBC News.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Donald Trump has spent a second day fiercely defending himself
0:04:19 > 0:04:22after one of his most senior former aides pleaded guilty
0:04:22 > 0:04:26to lying to the FBI.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Michael Flynn, former national security adviser, admitted lying
0:04:28 > 0:04:30to the intelligence agency about conversations he'd had
0:04:30 > 0:04:31with Russian officials.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35In a tweet on Sunday the president lashed out at the FBI,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37saying its reputation was "in tatters".
0:04:37 > 0:04:39And that's not all the US President tweeted about -
0:04:39 > 0:04:46as Laura Bicker explains.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50he was tweeting about James Comey, he denied he had asked the former
0:04:50 > 0:04:53head of the FBI to drop an investigation
0:04:53 > 0:04:55head of the FBI to drop an investigation into Michael Flynn.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Why is this important? Because the tweet sent out yesterday from the
0:05:00 > 0:05:04President's account seemed to imply that President Trump new his
0:05:04 > 0:05:19national security adviser had lied to the FBI. If he had had that
0:05:19 > 0:05:23knowledge and pressured the FBI to let his adviser go that could
0:05:23 > 0:05:27consist of an obstruction of knowledge, then we received more
0:05:27 > 0:05:32information on this tale, another twist. The tweet that was a
0:05:32 > 0:05:36controversial was not sent by the president but by his lawyer, John
0:05:36 > 0:05:41Dowd. He sent out a note this morning saying, I am out of the
0:05:41 > 0:05:46tweeting business, I did not mean to break news. What they are saying is
0:05:46 > 0:05:51that it was a mistake. It raises the question, did President Trump know
0:05:51 > 0:05:55that his national security adviser lied when he tried to pressure James
0:05:55 > 0:06:05Comey into
0:06:06 > 0:06:08dropping the investigation. Of course now President Trump says he
0:06:08 > 0:06:11didn't say that at all. This is becoming very much a game of he
0:06:11 > 0:06:13says, she says.It must be frustrating for President Trump and
0:06:13 > 0:06:16the White House because this should have been a weekend when they were
0:06:16 > 0:06:18celebrating the passage of the tax reform bill through the Senate yet
0:06:18 > 0:06:21they don't seem to be doing themselves any favours in terms of
0:06:21 > 0:06:28moving the agenda on.I think I used the phrase "Snatching defeat from
0:06:28 > 0:06:35the jaws of victory". President Trump could have the tax reform
0:06:35 > 0:06:38bill, getting over the roadblock that has halted the Republicans in
0:06:38 > 0:06:43the last vision like months, is a promise he made to his supporters
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and it looks very much on the path to becoming law. It could have been
0:06:46 > 0:06:51a weekend when he was making the most of that. Yet instead the focus
0:06:51 > 0:06:57has been switched back to the rushed investigation. But it is worth
0:06:57 > 0:07:03pointing out that with these tweets talking about the FBI in tatters and
0:07:03 > 0:07:07trying to discredit James Comey he also mentions Hillary Clinton. This
0:07:07 > 0:07:12is fodder for his supporters, who believe the FBI should have done
0:07:12 > 0:07:18more to prosecute Hillary Clinton for the misuse of the e-mails. They
0:07:18 > 0:07:24also wonder if they didn't go after Hillary Clinton why are they going
0:07:24 > 0:07:28after the president. Donald Trump has repeatedly called the
0:07:28 > 0:07:31investigation into alleged Russian meddling during the election
0:07:31 > 0:07:36campaign a witchhunt. By undermining the FBI in these tweets and saying
0:07:36 > 0:07:40it needs to get better that is something his supporters will take
0:07:40 > 0:07:47to heart. Laura Bicker.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Egypt's former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafik has given a phone interview
0:07:49 > 0:07:51on television denying speculation that he was kidnapped.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53He went missing after arriving in Cairo at the weekend.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Mr Shafik was deported from the United Arab Emirates
0:07:56 > 0:07:58to Egypt on Saturday, just days after he announced he
0:07:58 > 0:08:04intended to run for the Presidency.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06His family raised the alarm when they couldn't contact
0:08:06 > 0:08:09him after he landed.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Sahar Aziz is a Law Professor who was born in Egypt
0:08:12 > 0:08:14and now Senior Fellow for the Centre for Global Policy.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16She joins me from Boston.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Good to see you. Take us back to basics, and why was he in self
0:08:20 > 0:08:26imposed exile and while Berger concerns when his family could not
0:08:26 > 0:08:32contact him.Your viewers may know that he was a finalist in the 2012
0:08:32 > 0:08:35presidential elections and barely lost to Mohammed Morsi who was
0:08:35 > 0:08:42ousted in a military coup in July 20 13. So when he was no longer going
0:08:42 > 0:08:46to be president there were fears he would be prosecuted along with all
0:08:46 > 0:08:51the other former Mubarak regime is and he did have charges against him.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57He fled to the United Arab Emirates so he would not be subject to the
0:08:57 > 0:09:02same fate as many of the Mubarak officials because he used to be
0:09:02 > 0:09:08minister of aviation and was a former military general.Do you
0:09:08 > 0:09:10think his announcing his intention to run for the presidency would have
0:09:10 > 0:09:15been unsettling for the current president? Would he have been a real
0:09:15 > 0:09:25contender?Yes, I think it is a serious contender. For one reason.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30In the last six years a growing number of Egyptians are starting to
0:09:30 > 0:09:36reminisce and have nostalgia for the Mubarak era. They feel they are
0:09:36 > 0:09:40poorer now, under much more economic hardship. They don't see democracy,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45they seek more political repression rather than less and any of the
0:09:45 > 0:09:49business elite would like to go back to doing big business with the
0:09:49 > 0:09:56borough officials and we don't know how the military feels about the
0:09:56 > 0:09:59president, on the outside they seem to be in agreement but on the inside
0:09:59 > 0:10:04there will be a camp that was more aligned with the Mubarak regime and
0:10:04 > 0:10:09major feat is part of that camp. So there may well be people in the
0:10:09 > 0:10:19military in the business elite who have signalled or maybe explicitly
0:10:19 > 0:10:22told Shafik, you should run and you might have a real job of beating the
0:10:22 > 0:10:28current leader as his presidency wanes in the light of the economic
0:10:28 > 0:10:31and security problems that Egypt is facing as we saw with the massacre
0:10:31 > 0:10:39of 300 Muslims at a mosque after Friday prayers.Given that are
0:10:39 > 0:10:46snared Shafik has given an interview disputing that he was kidnapped, it
0:10:46 > 0:10:50looks as if he may be able to fulfil his intention of running for the
0:10:50 > 0:10:58presidency. Does that mean any cause for concern has now gone away?Is
0:10:58 > 0:11:01taking on a dangerous endeavour. In Egypt the stakes are high and it's
0:11:01 > 0:11:08hard to predict the future. It is possible that new charges could be
0:11:08 > 0:11:17filed against Ahmed Shafik, criminal charges. Already two lawyers have
0:11:17 > 0:11:23filed charges against him on the basis of one statement and another
0:11:23 > 0:11:28kernel has said he wanted to run and he has been jailed. So he is taking
0:11:28 > 0:11:33a high risk path. However I think he's betting on his allies in the
0:11:33 > 0:11:39Gulf, his allies in the West and his allies within the deep state to
0:11:39 > 0:11:45protect him from the fate of a serious contender. It'll be
0:11:45 > 0:11:52interesting to see how this next plays out, because the president
0:11:52 > 0:11:55wants to create an appearance that he was democratically elected,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00particularly to his people who are increasingly frustrated with the
0:12:00 > 0:12:04lack of economic results produced. But he doesn't want anyone who will
0:12:04 > 0:12:08be a serious contender and Ahmed Shafik could certainly be that
0:12:08 > 0:12:13serious contender.Many thanks indeed for the analysis.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Here in Britain the Prime Minister is coming under increasing pressure
0:12:15 > 0:12:17to adopt a tougher line during Brexit negotiations.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Theresa May is preparing to travel to Brussels on Monday,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22for talks with the President of the European Commission.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27An influential group of Brexit supporters is urging
0:12:27 > 0:12:29the Prime Minister to refuse to settle the UK's so-called
0:12:29 > 0:12:32'divorce bill,' unless Brussels agrees to a series of new demands.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Here's our political correspondent, Alex Forsyth.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37They have met plenty of times before, always appearing friendly,
0:12:37 > 0:12:42but there is a lot riding on their get-together tomorrow.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Whether EU leaders can be persuaded to move
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Brexit talks on later this month.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53While back home, some of her MPs have upped the pressure.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55A handful of Brexit backing Tories have written
0:12:55 > 0:12:58to the Prime Minister, laying down conditions they want
0:12:58 > 0:13:03met, including a promise that the European Court of
0:13:03 > 0:13:08Justice will cease to have any jurisdiction over the UK.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11For some, this goes to the heart of the Brexit
0:13:11 > 0:13:12debate.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The European Court of Justice is there to rule on all
0:13:15 > 0:13:16matters to do with the European Union.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19We will have left the European Union and therefore the
0:13:19 > 0:13:22simple point is that we should not therefore have to look to the
0:13:22 > 0:13:25European Court of Justice or to have judgments made by them,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30bound directly back here into the UK.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33When it comes to the European Court of Justice, Theresa May has
0:13:33 > 0:13:35signalled it will have a role during any transition
0:13:35 > 0:13:37period, but not after.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Though some ardent Brexiteers fear there could be
0:13:39 > 0:13:42compromise as the EU wants
0:13:42 > 0:13:46it to keep overseeing citizens' rights.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Today the Government insisted European law would not hold
0:13:50 > 0:13:53sway over British law and had a warning for backbenchers.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The Supreme Court will decide what the
0:13:56 > 0:14:00law of the country is in this country, as voted on by Parliament.
0:14:00 > 0:14:09That is the big thing that Theresa May has achieved.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I think there is an even bigger point here.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The choice we face now is not between this Brexit or that
0:14:14 > 0:14:15Brexit.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18If we don't back Theresa May we will have no Brexit.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20But there are competing views over several
0:14:20 > 0:14:21aspects of these talks.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The island of Ireland will be where the UK meets the EU.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26All agree there should be no hard border.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32But today the Irish government still was not convinced
0:14:32 > 0:14:40as to how that can be achieved.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41The Irish government is not being unreasonable,
0:14:42 > 0:14:43we are simply asking
0:14:43 > 0:14:44questions that need more credible answers
0:14:44 > 0:14:45before we can allow the
0:14:45 > 0:14:47process to move on to phase two.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49So tonight there is no agreement in key areas
0:14:49 > 0:14:51on the issues the EU said it
0:14:51 > 0:14:53wanted progress before moving on to talk trade.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Tomorrow's meeting is a crucial step in deciding whether
0:14:55 > 0:14:56enough has been done.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58The outcome is vital, but far from certain.
0:14:58 > 0:15:04Alex Forsyth, BBC News, Westminster.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10Stay with us. Still to come. 20 years after an international ban on
0:15:10 > 0:15:24landmines White is the number of their victims on the rise? -- why?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31It is clear that the main victims of the poor people living in the slums
0:15:31 > 0:15:36that have sprung up around the factory.Children are dying in front
0:15:36 > 0:15:43of me and I can't do anything.
0:16:07 > 0:16:15Half a metre of rock separated Britain from France, and then they
0:16:15 > 0:16:21were shaking hands and exchanging flags with their opposite numbers.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30This is BBC World News Today.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31I'm Ben Bland.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32The latest headlines.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36A new war of words has broken out between North Korea and the US
0:16:36 > 0:16:41on the eve of the biggest-ever US-South Korean air drills.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Egyptian presidential hopeful Ahmed Shafik denies being kidnapped,
0:16:44 > 0:16:50after turning up in the capital, Cairo.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54People living in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, are reporting fierce
0:16:54 > 0:16:59fighting as Houthi rebels try to defeat their former allies,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01supporters of the ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04There are reports that the houses of prominent figures connected
0:17:04 > 0:17:06to Mr Saleh have been attacked and blown up.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09The Houthis say they've regained most of the territory they had
0:17:09 > 0:17:11earlier lost to Mr Saleh's supporters, despite air strikes
0:17:11 > 0:17:15by the Saudi-led coalition targeting Houthi positions.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18We asked the MSF head of Mission to Yemen, June Besselink,
0:17:18 > 0:17:26whether he'd witnessed the coalition air strikes.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30So far it is difficult to know because I have been here one year
0:17:30 > 0:17:34and these air strikes have been continuous so to know if they are in
0:17:34 > 0:17:39response to what is happening, I don't know. For this moment we have
0:17:39 > 0:17:43more than ten projects and we have coordination teams in the capital.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46At this moment we are not looking into evacuation because it is not
0:17:46 > 0:17:51safe to go outside your house. We are continuously running programmes
0:17:51 > 0:17:55on supporting hospitals here in the capital, although these hospitals
0:17:55 > 0:18:00are massively struggling patients are having trouble getting to the
0:18:00 > 0:18:04hospitals, ambulances can't move on streets because they get shot at, we
0:18:04 > 0:18:10had several supplies in warehouses but we can't get to the hospitals
0:18:10 > 0:18:14because it's too dangerous to go out.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Today marks 20 years since the international convention
0:18:17 > 0:18:19banning anti-personnel landmines was signed in Ottawa, Canada.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21The convention has been ratified by 162 countries.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24But aid agencies warn that landmines still pose a huge danger.
0:18:24 > 0:18:31Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva.
0:18:31 > 0:18:38Landmines need an instant to cause a lifetime of damage. Landmine
0:18:38 > 0:18:42injuries stop adults from being able to work and children from being able
0:18:42 > 0:18:49to go to school or able to play. The ban on landmines, signed with such
0:18:49 > 0:18:53hope 20 years ago, means that Freddie few countries still use
0:18:53 > 0:18:59them. Deaths and injuries have fallen from 20,000 a year in 1997 to
0:18:59 > 0:19:096500 today. But now that figure is rising again. Armies may not use
0:19:09 > 0:19:16land mines, but armed groups do. When Islamic State fighters were
0:19:16 > 0:19:22driven out of Raqqa and Mosul, they left home made devices behind.The
0:19:22 > 0:19:28big problem today is non-state actors, which is, many of these
0:19:28 > 0:19:33conflicts that we see on the news and in the newspapers every day, we
0:19:33 > 0:19:45see that much more improvised landmines, home made minds are being
0:19:45 > 0:19:53used that we are able to clear.And millions of landmines deployed
0:19:53 > 0:19:57decades ago still contaminate countries from Bosnia to Cambodia to
0:19:57 > 0:20:03Zimbabwe. Many will miss the 2025 target set for clearance despite
0:20:03 > 0:20:07overwhelming support for the band, the deadly legacy of landmines will
0:20:07 > 0:20:17be with us for many years to come. Imogen Foulkes, BBC News, Geneva.
0:20:17 > 0:20:23Now time to check on today's sport.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Thank you Ben. Starting with football.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Manchester City have a chance to break new ground
0:20:27 > 0:20:29against their rivals Manchester United at
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Old Trafford next Sunday.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32David Silva's 83rd-minute finish against West Ham saw City win
0:20:32 > 0:20:34a record-equalling 13th Premier League match in a row
0:20:34 > 0:20:36with victory over West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39They could be the first ever Premier League team to win 14
0:20:39 > 0:20:42in a row if they beat Jose Mourinho's side next weekend.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Angelo Ogbonna put West Ham ahead but Nicolas Otamendi equalised
0:20:44 > 0:20:46before Silva pounced with seven minutes left.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49West Ham boss David Moyes has now overseen three defeats and a draw
0:20:49 > 0:20:51since taking over from Slaven Bilic.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55His team sit 19th in the table.
0:20:55 > 0:21:03In the second half it was quite similar, when we were in the second
0:21:03 > 0:21:09half I thought we were going to school and win, but today it was a
0:21:09 > 0:21:15little bit different, so it was massive, no chances, because they
0:21:15 > 0:21:20played ten players inside the box! So it's almost impossible but we
0:21:20 > 0:21:30didn't concede too much, and got the victory.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34For long periods I thought it would be our day. We did not limit their
0:21:34 > 0:21:38possession but we did limit their chances, the keeper made a few
0:21:38 > 0:21:42saves, but I always thought we were a threat on the break and the
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Pacific and score. We may be arguably had the best chances in the
0:21:46 > 0:21:53first half.Was at a game plan that in the first half worked spot-on?It
0:21:53 > 0:21:57was. Manchester City's positions that they take up often change that
0:21:57 > 0:22:04and we didn't do well enough when we had the ball at times. But we stuck
0:22:04 > 0:22:07at it and saw it through, the boys did a really good job.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10In Italy's Serie A, Benevento - who've not won a league
0:22:10 > 0:22:11game this season - took their "first ever
0:22:11 > 0:22:12top-flight point".
0:22:12 > 0:22:18Thanks to an extraordinary moment too - their goalkeeper -
0:22:18 > 0:22:19Alberto Brignoli, on loan from Juventus, scored
0:22:19 > 0:22:22with a flying header - deep into stoppage time -
0:22:22 > 0:22:27to give them a 2-2 draw with Milan.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29The visitors spent more than $200 million
0:22:29 > 0:22:33in the last transfer window - compared to Benvento's
0:22:33 > 0:22:35total of $20 million.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Milan "twice took the lead" - but were pegged back
0:22:37 > 0:22:39after Alessio Romagnoli was sent off; a second booking
0:22:39 > 0:22:41in the 75th minute.
0:22:41 > 0:22:42The result was another embarassment for Milan -
0:22:42 > 0:22:45playing their first match under new coach Gennaro Gattuso -
0:22:45 > 0:22:46after sacking Vincenzo Montella on Monday.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Now to cricket and Australia will be hoping to continue their good form
0:22:49 > 0:22:52when play starts on the third day of their second Ashes Test
0:22:52 > 0:22:58against England in Adelaide.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01England will resume on 29-1 in their first innings -
0:23:01 > 0:23:04still 413 runs behind the hosts - who declared on 442 for eight.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Shaun Marsh made an unbeaten century.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10There were very few moments there, probably when I got to 90 I began to
0:23:10 > 0:23:15get a bit nervous but obviously extremely happy to get a hundred for
0:23:15 > 0:23:24my country and get a hundred in an Ashes Test is pretty special.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25American Rickie Fowler has won Golf's HERO
0:23:26 > 0:23:27World Challenge in the Bahamas
0:23:27 > 0:23:31by four shots finishing on 18 under with a destructive final round of 11
0:23:31 > 0:23:32under sweeping away all others.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It set a new course and tournament record in what was the lowest
0:23:35 > 0:23:36round of his career.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Next best was his compatriot Charley Hoffman on 14 under
0:23:40 > 0:23:42while Tiger Woods, who hosted the event in his latest comeback,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45from injury fired a final round of four under to finish tied
0:23:45 > 0:23:47for ninth, ten shots behind Fowler.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Ronnie O'Sullivan seems to be the man to beat
0:23:51 > 0:23:55at snooker's UK Championship.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58The defending champion Mark Selby was knocked out on Saturday in York.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01But there was no problem for O'Sullivan, who's aiming
0:24:01 > 0:24:05for a record-equalling sixth UK title.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07He wasn't at his best against Michael Georgiou -
0:24:07 > 0:24:09but still won by six frames to one.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11The world number four goes into round three.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14He'll face either Michael White or Matthew Selt in the third round.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15And that's all the sport for now.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Thank you, see you soon.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20Skygazers around the world have been treated to
0:24:20 > 0:24:23a spectacular sight - with the moon appearing far bigger
0:24:23 > 0:24:25and brighter than usual.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28The supermoon - or "cold moon" as it's traditionally named
0:24:28 > 0:24:31in December, happens when the Earth is closer than usual in its orbit.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34While for some, the skies are too cloudy to enjoy the phenomenon -
0:24:34 > 0:24:41it has been spectacular in places like Myanmar and Uganda.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Earlier I spoke to astronomer Tom Kerss at the Royal
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Observatory in Greenwich - he says it's actually
0:24:45 > 0:24:46all a trick of the eye.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51The moon doesn't appear much bigger than usual, that's the strange
0:24:51 > 0:24:55thing. The changes actually subtle but because the man's close approach
0:24:55 > 0:25:02to the Earth, a point in the orbit with the moon and the earth comes
0:25:02 > 0:25:06closest each month, when that happens to coincide with the full
0:25:06 > 0:25:13moon we call this a supermoon. Not a rigid term in the astronomical
0:25:13 > 0:25:16community but a colloquial term for what happens when the moon is
0:25:16 > 0:25:20unusually close to the earth like tonight and tomorrow morning. So we
0:25:20 > 0:25:25will seek a supermoon and there is some game in the apparent size and
0:25:25 > 0:25:28brightness of the moon said makes that approach and is fully
0:25:28 > 0:25:33eliminated from our perspective by the sun. Actually the differences
0:25:33 > 0:25:38marginal. If you really want a dramatic effect, if you go outside
0:25:38 > 0:25:42and that any full moon rising or setting your mind produces an
0:25:42 > 0:25:45illusion which recalled the Moon illusion, it makes the moon look
0:25:45 > 0:25:51larger when it's on the horizon and that fact can be more dramatic than
0:25:51 > 0:25:54the so-called supermoon. So you could see a supermoon almost every
0:25:54 > 0:25:58time when the moon is rising if you want to.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Don't forget you can get in touch with me and some
