I'm Karin Giannone. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:07 | |
Our top stories... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
President Putin says Russia has
foiled a terror attack planned | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
on Saint Petersburg -
and has thanked Donald Trump for CIA | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
information which helped
track down the suspects. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:25 | |
Turkey's President Erdogan says he
wants to open a Turkish Embassy for | 0:00:25 | 0:00:30 | |
Palestinians in East | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
wants to open a Turkish Embassy for
Palestinians in East Jerusalem. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:31 | |
South Africa's ruling party gets
closer to choosing its next leader. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
The two main contenders have been
formally nominated and voting is | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
under way. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:39 | |
And the Pentagon admits to running | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
a top-secret investigation
into the existence of alien life | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |
Welcome to world news today. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
The White House has confirmed
that the CIA provided intelligence | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
to Russian security services that
helped foil a terror attack. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
Russian agents raided a flat
allegedly used as a base to plan | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
an attack on the Kazan cathedral
in St Petersburg. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:20 | |
The officers seized
explosives and weapons. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
Seven people were detained
on charges of being members | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
of so-called Islamic State. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
The suspects were reportedly
planning to carry out a suicide | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
attack at the Kazan Cathedral in St
Petersburg on Saturday. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
President Putin has thanked
the US for its help. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
The BBC's David Willis has
more from Washington. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
He says this isn't the only recent
call between the leaders. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
It appears to be a telephone
conversation, the second | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
between these two leaders
in the space of just three days, | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
in which Vladimir Putin thanked
Donald Trump and asked him to convey | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Russia's thanks to the CIA
and to its intelligence officials | 0:01:52 | 0:01:59 | |
for the information that was needed
to foil this attempted attack, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
or alleged attempted attack,
on St Petersburg, on the cathedral | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
there, an iconic cathedral,
and other parts of the city | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
which are known to be of prime
interest to tourists | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
from around the world. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:21 | |
What's interesting about this
is that the two leaders themselves | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
really do appear to be very chummy
with each other. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
I mentioned just last week
there was a conversation | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
between them as well. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
That followed Vladimir Putin's
annual press conference, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
in which he heaped praise
on Donald Trump's handling | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
of the US economy. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:43 | |
And they've chosen to make the fact
that they've had this | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
conversation very public? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
Yes, and all this comes at a time
when there is a special prosecutor | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
looking into allegations... | 0:02:53 | 0:02:59 | |
Well, they're not allegations,
the claims, the agreed claims | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
of the US intelligence agencies that
Russia meddled in the outcome | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
of last year's presidential election
here in the United States. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:13 | |
The Special Counsel also looking
into the prospect that the Trump | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
campaign may have colluded
with Russia, as far | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
as that is concerned,
yet we have a situation | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
where Donald Trump and Vladimir
Putin seemed to be getting | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
on like a house on fire. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:32 | |
In stark contrast, I might add,
to the relationship that | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
President Trump has had lately
with traditional American allies, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
Britain, for example. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
He's been critical of
Theresa May and, indeed, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Germany's Angela Merkel as well. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
David Willis there talking to me
earlier and mentioning special | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
counsel Robert Mueller,
who is investigating alleged links | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
between Donald Trump's election
campaign and the Russian | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
government. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
Well a spokesman for
Mr Mueller has been defending | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
the investigation, saying
the appropriate criminal | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
process is being followed
in all of the probe's dealings. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
Lawyers representing the Trump
presidential transition team accused | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
Mr Mueller of unauthorised access
to tens of thousands of emails. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:18 | |
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan has announced that he wants | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
to open an embassy for Palestinians
in East Jerusalem. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
The Turkish leader has been one
of the most vocal opponents | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
of Donald Trump's decision
to recognise Jerusalem | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
as the capital of Israel and last
week led calls for it to be | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
recognised as the capital
of a Palestinian state. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
Here's President Erdogan
at a rally earlier. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
TRANSLATION: Since Jerusalem is
currently under occupation, we can't | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
go there and open our embassy. But
our Consulate general is represented | 0:04:50 | 0:04:56 | |
by an ambassador. God willing, the
day is close when officially, with | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
God's permission, we will open up
our embassy there. Joining me as a | 0:05:01 | 0:05:08 | |
nonresident policy analyst in
Washington. Why do you think he has | 0:05:08 | 0:05:14 | |
spoken out like this? There are a
couple of reasons. This would be a | 0:05:14 | 0:05:21 | |
significant, symbolic step. We know
that Turkey has lost its clout over | 0:05:21 | 0:05:31 | |
the last few weeks. Trump's blunder
on Jerusalem provided Iran an | 0:05:31 | 0:05:38 | |
opportunity to redress Turkey's
relations with the Arab world. At | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
least it would make a boosting image
for Erdogan and the Turkish | 0:05:43 | 0:05:53 | |
government. They see this meeting
and stumble, with 57 members, as a | 0:05:53 | 0:06:02 | |
success story. He is trying to
assert himself as a global defender | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
of Sunni Muslim interests? Well,
there are many issues here. We need | 0:06:06 | 0:06:14 | |
to look at the relationship between
Turkey and the United States | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
specifically. In this meeting,
Erdogan used strong words against | 0:06:18 | 0:06:26 | |
the Trump administration. It may be
usual to hear from Erdogan slamming | 0:06:26 | 0:06:34 | |
the United States, but not
necessarily the Trump | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
administration, because we know that
initially there was a major hope | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
from Ankara, from the
administration. Lately, there is | 0:06:40 | 0:06:48 | |
major frustration, especially with
the case in New York, the court | 0:06:48 | 0:06:51 | |
case, which is also holding Turkish
banks accountable for invading Iran | 0:06:51 | 0:07:01 | |
sanctions two years ago. There is a
major frustration. Erdogan Comer | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
claiming it is politically
motivated. Wyatt is related, the | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
question about Jerusalem, and other
issues, it is very, I think, | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
important to understand the
relationship. Now Erdogan's domestic | 0:07:16 | 0:07:27 | |
and international constituency would
see an outcome of the New York case | 0:07:27 | 0:07:33 | |
as politically motivated, perhaps.
We haven't got much time. One last | 0:07:33 | 0:07:40 | |
question, do you think this is just
rhetoric, just symbolism, or are we | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
going to see them take any concrete
steps to do something about it? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:50 | |
There might be concrete steps, but,
at the end, in terms of the | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
relations in general, Turkey and
Israel relations have ups and downs, | 0:07:54 | 0:08:02 | |
especially strained and turbulent in
the last few years, there would not | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
be a major difference in terms of
the Palestinian issue. There might | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
be some outcome in terms of the
Ankara and Washington relations, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:16 | |
especially Erdogan's relations with
the Trump administration. Thank you | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
very much. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
At least eight people have been
killed and dozens of others injured | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
after a suicide bomb attack
on a methodist church in Pakistan. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:32 | |
It happened in the city of Quetta,
which has been the scene of a number | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
of attacks in the past year. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:37 | |
Tom Burridge has more | 0:08:37 | 0:08:38 | |
A celebration ahead of Christmas,
targeted by extremists. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
Pakistan's police and army,
firing shots in the aftermath | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
as they surrounded the church. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
Earlier, the attackers' efforts
to get in and kill as many | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
as they could captured on CCTV. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
Watch the man in brown,
who suddenly reveals a machine gun | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
and starts to try to access
the church compound. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
His accomplice, behind him
in white, falls over. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:06 | |
It takes them a long
time to climb the gate, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:09 | |
but it is chilling to watch,
as the men wearing suicide | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
vests exchange shots
with security guards, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
imagine the panic
in the church nearby. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Officials say one of
the attackers was shot dead | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
at the entrance to the compound. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
A second man detonated his vest
near the church door. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
The bodies of those killed,
brought to the local mortuary. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Too much for relatives,
their loved ones killed | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
a week before Christmas. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:39 | |
At local hospitals, those injured
spoke of their fear as the attackers | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
did all they could to get
inside the church. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:48 | |
TRANSLATION: We were all in
the church and when we heard gunfire | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
we closed the doors. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:55 | |
The firing continued for a while. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Then there was an explosion
by the church door. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
The group that calls
itself Islamic State | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
claimed responsibility
for the attack, which | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Pakistan's president
described as cowardly. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
Let's take a look at some of
the other stories making the news. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
A British government
worker has been murdered | 0:10:15 | 0:10:16 | |
in the Lebanese capital Beirut. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
The body of Rebecca Dykes was found
by the side of a road | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
in the city on Saturday. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
She had been working
since January as a programme | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
manager for the Department
for International Development, | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
based at the British embassy. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Her family say they are
devastated by her loss. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
Police in Ukraine have clashed
with suporters of the opposition | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
leader Mikhail Saakashvili. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
They fired tear-gas
at a crowd which tried to get | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
into the October Palace in Kiev,
after a rally against | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
President Petro Poroshenko. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
No serious injuries
have been reported. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:52 | |
Polls have closed in the final round
of Chile's residential election. The | 0:10:53 | 0:11:01 | |
Conservative former President won
the first round, but pollsters say | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
his only challenger this time has
narrowed the gap in second-round | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
campaigning. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
In South Africa, delegates
from the ruling ANC have started | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
voting to elect a successor
to President Jacob Zuma | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
as party leader. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
We now know that the new leader
will be one of two people: deputy | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
president Cyril Ramaphosa or former
foreign minister Nkosazana | 0:11:23 | 0:11:25 | |
Dlamini-Zuma, who is one
of the president's former wives. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:29 | |
The victor is likely to become
the country's next President | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
after elections in 2019. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:41 | |
The BBC's Milton Nkosi,
who's outside the ANC | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
conference in Johannesburg,
says it will be | 0:11:43 | 0:11:44 | |
a close-fought contest. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
The infighting has been as better --
and bitter as they get. The | 0:11:46 | 0:11:54 | |
infighting had been worse than
anybody thought the ANC would be | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
suffering in postapartheid South
Africa. Everyone I have spoken to, | 0:11:57 | 0:12:02 | |
the experts, the delegates, the spin
doctors, they are telling me it is | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
going to be a photo finish. I also
think that the margin will be so | 0:12:05 | 0:12:11 | |
tight that it is hard to predict who
will now, as we speak, be the next | 0:12:11 | 0:12:18 | |
President of the African National
Congress. Therefore, potentially, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
the next President of South Africa.
Jacob Zuma's time as President of | 0:12:21 | 0:12:26 | |
South Africa has taken its toll on
the ANC. What challenges will his | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
successor face? Well, President
Jacob Zuma will have his or her work | 0:12:30 | 0:12:41 | |
cut out for them. The challenges
that South Africans are facing on a | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
day-to-day basis are immense. There
is high unemployment, hovering | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
around 28%. You have poverty and
inequality. Those are the | 0:12:48 | 0:12:56 | |
difficulties that any President will
have to try to clear up before they | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
can say they are getting a hold on
running South Africa. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:07 | |
Austria's new government is due
to be sworn in on Monday, | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
after the far-right Freedom Party
agreed to join | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
a coalition government. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:13 | |
It'll be the junior partner,
alongside the conservative | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
People's Party, taking charge
of the foreign, interior | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
and defence ministries. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
So what does the Freedom Party
stand for and has it | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
influenced European politics? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
Bethany Bell has more from Vienna. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
A campaign video for the far right
Freedom party. A couple wakes up to | 0:13:32 | 0:13:38 | |
discover their home has been overrun
by strangers. The video avoids | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
xenophobic images, but the message
is clear. Austria, for the | 0:13:42 | 0:13:48 | |
Austrians. Support for the Freedom
Party soared during the migrant | 0:13:48 | 0:13:56 | |
crisis of 2015. Then strip's
Conservative Party, and a Sebastian | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
Kurz, also moved to the right. But
now he has formed a coalition with | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
the far right. It is controversial.
The party, a major force in | 0:14:04 | 0:14:11 | |
politics, was founded by former
Nazis in the 1950s. Observers say | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
their policies have helped set the
agenda, not only in Austria but | 0:14:15 | 0:14:20 | |
across Europe. Of course the Freedom
Party is traditionally a far right | 0:14:20 | 0:14:25 | |
party. However, what you have seen
in the last years is that many other | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
parties in Europe and Austria have
taken over their issue positions. In | 0:14:29 | 0:14:36 | |
that sense, I think they set a
certain tone all over Europe. This | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
Mayor is from the Freedom Party. He
says it is not an extreme right | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
movement and people should not be
scared. TRANSLATION: We are a | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
right-wing party, it is true. We are
also a Homeland party. But we stand | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
by European values. We stand for
democracy and human rights, and I | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
can't understand where this fear
comes from. The past still troubles | 0:15:01 | 0:15:06 | |
the party. This recently published
photo shows a Freedom Party | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
politician apparently giving a
Hitler salute. He denied the charge, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
but also did not take up his seat in
the upper house of parliament. In | 0:15:14 | 0:15:21 | |
the year 2000 there were huge
protests against the Freedom Party | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
when it joined a previous
government. Back then, the EU even | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
imposed limited diplomatic sanctions
on Austria. There was an outcry in | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
Austria and across Europe. Today, EU
sanctions are very unlikely. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:42 | |
Austria's new leader, Sebastian
Kurz, has pledged to form a pro-EU | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
government. Austria has changed,
Europe has changed and now some | 0:15:44 | 0:15:49 | |
people are wondering if the Freedom
Party has also changed. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
Stay with us. Coming up, as the
Pentagon admits to investigating | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
UFOs, we will ask an expert what
they might be looking for and why. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
After eight months on the run,
Saddam Hussein has been tracked down | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
and captured by American forces. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Saddam Hussein is finished. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:19 | |
Because he killed our people,
our women, our children. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:29 | |
The signatures took only a few
minutes, but they brought a formal | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
end to three and a half years
of conflict, conflict that has | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
claimed more than 200,000 lives. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
Before an audience of world leaders,
the presidents of Bosnia, | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
Serbia and Croatia put their names

The Romanian border
was sealed and silent today. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
Romania has cut itself off
from the outside world in order | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
to prevent the details
of the presumed massacre | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
in Timisoara from leaking out. | 0:16:55 | 0:17:01 | |
From sex at the White House

This is Bbc World News Today.
President Putin says that Russia has | 0:17:27 | 0:17:34 | |
foiled a terror attack and he has
thanked Donald Trump for CIA | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
information which helped. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Turkey's President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan says he wants to open | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |

Breaking news coming from the BBC.
Sir Mo Farah has just won the 2017 | 0:17:52 | 0:18:00 | |
Sports Personality Of The Year
award. He saw off Jonathan Ray and | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
Johnnie Peacock, who came in second
and third place. Talking from | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
London, he said he was delighted to
have won. I am sure we will hear | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
from him in due course. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
The US defence department has
acknowledged running a secret | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
multi-million dollar program
to investigate UFOs. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
The New York Times says the program
was launched ten years ago | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
at the request of former
Democratic Senator Harry Reid. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
The program is reported to have cost
the Department of Defense more | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
than $20 million. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:36 | |
Let's speak to Sarah Spellman, from
the Association | 0:18:36 | 0:18:49 | |
Of Phenomena. Are you surprised to
hear of a programme at this run by | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
the US governed? It is an
interesting revelation we are | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
finding out about this now. I am not
entirely surprised. At the same | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
time, it is new information. It is
really an interesting announcement | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
to have come out. Some might say
that this is using government money | 0:19:07 | 0:19:12 | |
to fuel conspiracy theories. What do
you think about the necessity or | 0:19:12 | 0:19:16 | |
otherwise of a programme like this?
That is one take on it. Sure, from | 0:19:16 | 0:19:21 | |
the government's perspective, they
are always go to be looking at | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
defence threats. Security threats,
things of that nature. What we have | 0:19:25 | 0:19:30 | |
to look at when we are getting
information from them as members of | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
the public is what were their
objectives and what can we find out | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
about it from our perspective. Yes,
it was over $22 million that was | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
spent on the programme. What we
don't know is the outcomes of that | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
yet. It has been mentioned about
remains of physical craft, alloys | 0:19:46 | 0:19:52 | |
that were studied, different metal.
Physical data coming out would be | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
really interesting to find out
eventually. Unfortunately we don't | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
have that at this point. Do we know
anything about what they were | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
investigating precisely? Yes, they
were investigating sightings of | 0:20:03 | 0:20:10 | |
unidentified flying objects. So,
UFOs. Saying UFO does not mean it is | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
necessarily from outside of our
solar system or anything we cannot | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
explain. At the time, it was not
explainable. So, strange things in | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
the sky. They also spoke to people
that claimed to have been in the | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
proximity of what they thought to be
non-earthly ships or aircraft. They | 0:20:27 | 0:20:34 | |
examined some of the physical
symptoms those people have. There | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
were also given, by the government,
a subcontractor programme, it was | 0:20:36 | 0:20:43 | |
run by Bigelow Aerospace and the
Pentagon allegedly gave them certain | 0:20:43 | 0:20:49 | |
materials to analyse. Unfortunately,
we haven't got data to look at. If | 0:20:49 | 0:20:54 | |
they had found something tangible,
would they have necessarily revealed | 0:20:54 | 0:20:58 | |
that two us, the public? Yes, that
is the question. Until the news came | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
out quite recently we were not aware
of the multi-million dollar | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
programme running from the Pentagon
from 2007 until 2012. It does pose | 0:21:05 | 0:21:16 | |
the question, if it was happening
then, what is happening now that we | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
are not aware of? It doesn't mean
there is anything, it just means | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
that we cannot say one way or
another. We are out of time, thank | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
you very much. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
Now the sport. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
Jose Mourinho has vowed
that his Manchester United side | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
would "fight until the last match"
after they moved back to within 11 | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
points of Premier League leaders
Manchester City courtesy of a 2-1 | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
victory at West Brom. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring
for his second goal in as many games | 0:21:43 | 0:21:50 | |
before Jesse Lingard doubled
United's lead before the break. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
The visitors appeared to be heading
for a comfortable win until Albion | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
substitute Gareth Barry poked home
from close range | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
with 13 minutes left. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
United though holding on for the win
to go 3 points clear | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
of 3rd placed Chelsea. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:08 | |
They are really strong, they are
really aggressive, they can put | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
teams under pressure. We didn't have
problems because we had so much of | 0:22:11 | 0:22:16 | |
the ball and we had so much control
by having the ball. But we knew that | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
at any time a situation could arise.
It was that situation that woke of | 0:22:19 | 0:22:26 | |
the stadium, gave them the belief
that they didn't have until that | 0:22:26 | 0:22:33 | |
moment and put us a little bit under
pressure. But I think the | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
performance was really good. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:37 | |
Liverpool moved back
into the top four after | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
hammering Bournemouth 4-0. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
There were goals for
Philippe Coutinho, Dejan Lovran | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
before Mo Salah got his 11th goal
in 11 games, his 20th of the season | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
to end the tie as a meaningful
contest after only 44 minutes. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Roberto Firmino then adding a 4th. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Liverpool extending
their unbeaten run in all | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
competitions to 12 matches | 0:22:54 | 0:23:00 | |
It is very important, of course, two
draws in the last few games. Both | 0:23:00 | 0:23:06 | |
games we should have won and we
didn't. We have to accept that. You | 0:23:06 | 0:23:12 | |
need to show why you really are part
of this fantastic league. Of course, | 0:23:12 | 0:23:19 | |
we are Liverpool, so we have to show
that we have to at least try with | 0:23:19 | 0:23:24 | |
everything to win. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
Over in Spain, we're halfway
through the second half as Barcelona | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
welcome Deportivo La Coruna
to the Camp Nou. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
The Catalan Giants on their way
to going 6 points clear of second | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
placed Atletico Madrid. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
Two Luis Suarez goals. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
Barcelona cruising to victory. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
Real Madrid not in action this
weekend of course after winning | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
the FIFA Club World Cup. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
Their next match will the hotly
anticipated Clasico on the 23rd. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:48 | |
Justin Rose continues his wonderful
run of form winning | 0:23:48 | 0:23:50 | |
the Indonesian Masters in Jakarta
by 8 strokes. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:55 | |
The world number six
sealing his third tournament | 0:23:55 | 0:23:57 | |
victory in seven weeks. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:58 | |
Rose played 30 holes on his final
day, after stormy weather continued | 0:23:58 | 0:24:01 | |
to disrupt the tournament. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:03 | |
He ended up carding
a 72-hole total of 29-under. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:07 | |
Phachara Khongwatmai,
the 18-year-old from Thailand, | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
hit 65 to finish second but Rose
picking up his first | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
Asian Tour Title with his largest
ever winning margin at a tournament. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:16 | |
Marcel Hirscher dominated the field
at Alta Badia in Italy to take | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
a record 5th straight Giant Slalom
win finishing nearly two seconds | 0:24:21 | 0:24:24 | |
ahead of his nearest challenger
Henrik Kristoffersen. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:27 | |
The six-time World Cup
winner started the day | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
tied with another great,
Italy's Alberto Tomba, | 0:24:30 | 0:24:31 | |
on four giant slalom wins. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
And having posted the fastest
time on his first run, | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
he increased his lead on the second. | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
It's Hirscher's third
World Cup win of the season, | 0:24:39 | 0:24:41 | |
and the 48th of his career so far. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
The Olympic Super-G champion
Anna Veith won her first World Cup | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
race since suffering a serious knee
injury more than two years ago. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
She beat Tina Weirather
of Lichtenstein and Italy's Sofia | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
Goggia, by almost half a second
at Val d'Isere in France. | 0:24:55 | 0:25:05 | |
The 28-year-old Austrian's last win
was in the giant slalom | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
at Meribel in March 2015,
the year she won the overall | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
World Cup title for the second time
And that's all the sport for now. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:15 | |
But before we go, there is news that
Mo Farah has won the Sports | 0:25:15 | 0:25:19 | |
Personality Of The Year. He retired
from the track after the World | 0:25:19 | 0:25:25 | |
Championships in London. Our top
story, Russia's President Putin has | 0:25:25 | 0:25:33 | |
acknowledge the help of the CIA in
preventing terror attacks in St | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
Petersburg. He said he told
President Trump the information has | 0:25:37 | 0:25:42 | |
helped to track down a terrorist
group that was preparing attacks, | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
apparently on Kazan Cathedral and
other public places. It was planned | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
for this weekend on Saturday. If you
