Hello and welcome
to World News Today. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
Tens of thousands of Tunisians
have taken part in fresh | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
protests against austerity,
on the day that the country marks | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
the seventh anniversary
of the uprising which led | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
to the Arab Spring. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
But there's been no repeat of last
week's violence which resulted | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
in more than 800 arrests. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
Flag waving demonstrators chanted
anti-government slogans | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
in the capital Tunis,
alongside pro-government crowds | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
marking the ousting of Tunisia's
former leader seven years ago. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
That revolt sparked uprisings
across the Arab world. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
Our correspondent Mark Lowen
reports from Tunis. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:44 | |
A rallying cry by Tunisians that
their revolution should not be in | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
vain. Seven years since toppling
their dictator, the cradle of the | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
Arab Spring has not fallen silent.
They called for the basics - jobs | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
and a better life. Anger burned last
week amid plans to raise prices and | 0:02:02 | 0:02:10 | |
taxes, to satisfy Tunisia's lenders.
More than 800 people were arrested | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
and a protester died. Shots and
government buildings were torched. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:21 | |
Poorer parts of the country feel the
promise of change has died. Nine | 0:02:21 | 0:02:28 | |
governments haven't eased economic
pain. Youth unemployment is over 35% | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
with terror attacks, tourism
plummeted. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
The prices are so high, I had to
borrow this money to survive, this | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
woman told us. "We don't have
anything, we are in need, we can't | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
live."
Oil, sugar, even rubbish bags are | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
too expensive now. We're miserable.
Ahmed was detained for two days on | 0:02:51 | 0:03:01 | |
suspicion of fermenting the
protests, which he denies. The | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
government says they're destroying
state. He believes the revolution | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
didn't kill off the old regime.
TRANSLATION: We were full of hope in | 0:03:08 | 0:03:16 | |
2011 that we could build a country
where people live with dignity and | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
rights but we are more and more in a
dead end and under were tests we are | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
met by a police state that doesn't
accept an alternative view. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
In a bid to quell the protests, the
geefts announced a welfare package, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
raising benefits and improving
health care. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
Seven years on, Tunisia's
commemoration is bitter sweet. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
There's pride that this country
became a parliamentary democracy of | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
some sort. But frustration, too,
that the hopes of 2011 for | 0:03:45 | 0:03:53 | |
comprehensive change and prosperity
for all, have faded. Tunisia was | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
held up as the success of the Arab
Spring but it's shaky. Revolutionly | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
zeal remains, even if the optimism
of that time is a distant memory. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:14 | |
We have heard further about what the
protests have been about. The | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
rallies we saw today were split into
two groups. We mainly saw people | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
come out in large numbers to
commemorate the anniversary of the | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
overthrow of Tunisia's former
President. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
But, of course, given what has
happened, the past week, can with | 0:04:31 | 0:04:37 | |
the protests against the new
financial law, introducing austerity | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
measures in the country, we also saw
large numbers take to the streets | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
and join the federal rally to say no
against the financial law. And of | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
course, with this anniversary,
people must be focussed on whether | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
they feel, you know, that the Arab
Spring has delivered change for the | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
better or not. Indeed. And, you
know, I think any Tunisian you speak | 0:04:57 | 0:05:07 | |
to will tell you that their lives
are not any better than it was under | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
Benalily. That said, they don't feel
like all hope was lost, although | 0:05:12 | 0:05:18 | |
many will say they have lost hope.
This is why some will explain | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
they've taken to the streets this
week and this is why they have taken | 0:05:22 | 0:05:26 | |
to the streets before. Tunisia has
seen several bouts of protests in | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
the last two-and-a-half years,
certainly since I have been here. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Some of them much worse and much
more the - some which led to much | 0:05:34 | 0:05:41 | |
more violence than we have seen in
the past week and lasted for weeks. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
It not to a point, once, I recall,
when the Government imposed a | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
curfew, not just in other province,
but also in the capat that, Tunis. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
Tunisians continued to take to the
streets for the same reasons. It's | 0:05:52 | 0:05:57 | |
either jobs because unemployment is
still at a very high rate. And it's | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
because they see the Government has
not fulfilled a lot of the are | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
promises it's made over the years
and they've had nine governments | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
since then, all promising the same
things and ultimately not fulfilling | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
them. What they are asking for today
is again, an improvement to their | 0:06:13 | 0:06:20 | |
lives, especially in the other
provinces and marginalised areas. A | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
lot more investment in
infrastructure and also, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
liberalising the economy a bit for
local investors to feeling | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
encouraged to create new businesses,
which would create new jobs. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
Two of the world's leading fashion
photographers have been suspended | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
from working for Vogue and other
magazines owned by the publishing | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
house Conde Nast. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:47 | |
The New York Times has published
a series of allegations | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
against Mario Testino
and Bruce Weber, that they sexually | 0:06:50 | 0:06:56 | |
They both deny the claims. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:57 | |
Adina Campbell reports. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:04 | |
He is one of the Royal Family's
favourite photographers. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
Mario Testino has been capturing
famous faces for four decades. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
But the New York Times has published
allegations of sexual misconduct, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:16 | |
with more than a dozen male models
and assistants accusing the | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
63-year-old of indecent behaviour. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:20 | |
Testino's lawyers have
said his accusers cannot be | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
considered reliable sources. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Another well-known photographer,
Bruce Weber is also facing | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
similar allegations. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
He has denied any wrongdoing. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:33 | |
But Conde Nast, which publishes
magazines including Vogue | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
and GQ has taken action. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:45 | |
In a statement, the editor,
Anna Wintour, who calls them | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
both personal friends | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
has said, "I take the allegations
very seriously, and we at Conde Nast | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
have decided to put our working
relationship with both photographers | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
on hold for the foreseeable future. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Vogue is a global powerhouse. | 0:07:57 | 0:07:58 | |
To grace one of the front
covers is a massive deal. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
Mario Testino and Bruce Weber
have been responsible | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
for some of those images,
but with allegations of sexual | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
exploitation swirling,
their futures are hanging | 0:08:06 | 0:08:07 | |
in the balance. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:12 | |
There are now calls for more
regulation in the fashion world. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:21 | |
I had been on shoots where I had
been inappropriately touched. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
I have had inappropriate
comments made to me. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
I would like to see unions organised
to collectively bargain, | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
and I would like to see
what the model alliance | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
of New York is proposing,
an independent body that | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
would represent models against major
players in the fashion industry. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
These allegations are the latest
to rock the world of fashion, | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
entertainment and social media
and don't seem to be going away. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:49 | |
Charlotta Janssen was a model
in the late 1980s and early '90s. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
She joined me earlier to reflect
on her experience and wider problems | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
within the industry. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:02 | |
I came to New York in '89 and worked
as a model for a few years as a | 0:09:02 | 0:09:08 | |
model in New York, Australia, Paris
and Milan and Spain. Did you have | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
any direct experience of harassment
yourself? Yes. I think - I in the | 0:09:13 | 0:09:20 | |
industry general we were very
disposable. Photographers trying to | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
pick us up, that was just one of
many ways, that we were - I would | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
say exploited. We were asked to
attend parties and were told it was | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
important for our career. It wasn't
important for our career. It is just | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
that they would have pretty girls
show up in pretty places and get | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
them for cheap. Get them by the
dozen. I experienced harassment from | 0:09:41 | 0:09:47 | |
photographs, from doer from
photographers, just the general | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
working situation in that if you
didn't say yes, you wouldn't get the | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
job and that was pretty much the
message you would get. Whaen you say | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
harassment, what exactly do you
mean? You know, you hear from | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
others, when it is a straight guy,
it is a forever, who has the power, | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
who abuses t there were lots of good
photographers, who didn't abuse | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
their power but the one that is were
the bad players they would be known | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
and it would be said - you know,
keep clear from them, and, you know, | 0:10:13 | 0:10:18 | |
if you want to have that campaign,
if you wanted to have that job, | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
then, you know, do what you can to
get it. Are you saying that those | 0:10:23 | 0:10:29 | |
around the modelling agency business
were, and have been aware of this | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
culture? They must have been,
because, you know all of us models | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
knew about it and it was kind of,
you know, sometimes if one girl | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
spoke up and said something to them,
they said - well, were you raped? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
No, well then don't worry about it.
Just keep clear of him. Do you want | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
to work, well, you know, shut up,
get over it. We were basically told | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
to fend for ourselves. Do you think
the | 0:10:56 | 0:11:02 | |
#Metoo campaign will change things
for men and women in this business? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:07 | |
We have been exposed used and abused
for so long, treated like disposable | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |
commodities. Let's see how we can
change that, I think it would be | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
amazing. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
Let's take a look at some of
the other stories making the news. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
At least one person has been killed
after a strong earthquake | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
rocked southern Peru. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:30 | |
The epicentre of the 7.1 magnitude
quake was off the coast | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
in the Pacific at a depth
of almost 40 kilometres. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Local officials in the region
of Arequipa say many adobe homes | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
in coastal villages have collapsed. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
At least 65 people are injured. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
An earlier tsunami warning
has been withdrawn. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:46 | |
Chinese state media says a burning
oil tanker adrift off its coast for | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
over a week has now sunk. 32 xru
aboard the vessel when it collided | 0:11:50 | 0:11:56 | |
with another ship in the East China
Sea last week. Chinese authority | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
have only managed to retrieve three
bodies so far. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
More than 160 passengers and crew
had a narrow escape, | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
when their plane skidded off
a runway in Turkey. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
The Boeing 737 slid down a steep
slope, coming to rest just a few | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
metres from the edge of the Black
Sea. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
One of the plane's engines broke
off, ending up in the water. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
No passengers or crew were hurt. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Stay with us on BBC
World News, still to come: | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
In 2006, the former Russian spy
Alexander Litvinenko | 0:12:32 | 0:12:33 | |
was killed in London
in a notorious murder case. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
We'll hear from his wife, Marina -
who's been speaking to the BBC's | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
Witness programme. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:39 | |
This is BBC World News. The latest
headlines: Tunisians hold a day of | 0:13:56 | 0:14:03 | |
pro and anti-Government rallies on
the 7th anniversary of the uprising | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
which heralded at Arab Spring. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:14 | |
Two leading fashion photographers
are suspended about Vogue and other | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
magazines over allegations they
sexually exploited young male | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
models. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:22 | |
The US official leading the inquiry
into how a warning of an imminent | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
missile attack was mistakenly sent
to people in Hawaii says the state | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
doesn't have reasonable safeguards
to prevent such an error. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
The false alert on Saturday
triggered widespread panic. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
SIREN
38 minutes of panic and confusion, | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
which has now turned to relief but
also anger. Why did it happen? And | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
where is the President?
On Saturday morning, an emergency | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
text message was sent to people in
Hawaii, saying a ballistic missile | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
was headed for the island and to
take immediate shelter. There was | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
hysteria as people scrambled to get
to safety. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
Today is a day that most of us will
never forget. Day when many in our | 0:15:03 | 0:15:11 | |
community thought our worst
nightmare might actually be | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
happening. But it was a mistake. A
huge one. Made by a worker at | 0:15:13 | 0:15:22 | |
Hawaii's Emergency Management
Agency. The wrong button was pushed. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:29 | |
It wasn't an actual event. It was a
test. Making matters worse. It took | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
38 minutes for a second message,
declaring the alarm, to be a false | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
one, to be sent out. So for about 30
minutes we are hanging out in the | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
closet, texts our friends, calling
our friends and familiar lane | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
telling them that right now we are
OK, but, to watch and see what | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
happens.
Hawaii has been on alert since US | 0:15:50 | 0:15:56 | |
President Donald Trump and North
Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, began | 0:15:56 | 0:16:01 | |
exchanging new clear threats. Hawaii
started practising air raid drills | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
last month and while estimates vary,
state officials say residents will | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
only have about 12 minutes to find
shelter once a real alert is issued. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:16 | |
Staying uncharacteristicically
quiet, the President of the United | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
States. He was golfing at the time
and did tweet after the incident | 0:16:18 | 0:16:24 | |
but, it wasn't about Hawaii. Donald
Trump repeated one of his own mess | 0:16:24 | 0:16:31 | |
adgess about the Fake news media.
His silence hasn't gone unnoticed. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:40 | |
Reza Aslan said: | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
"Trump knew within minutes no
missile was hurtling between Hawaii, | 0:16:45 | 0:16:51 | |
he didn't tweet." No-one knew one
thing about as far to do or where to | 0:16:51 | 0:16:58 | |
go. A lot of people in Honolulu,
they don't live here, they are on | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
have acation, they didn't know where
to go. That's been echoed across | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
Hawaii. Many people realising if it
had been real the consequences would | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
have been catastrophic, partly
because many people don't have an | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
emergency plan. A federal
investigation has been launched and | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
the emergency alerts now acquire a
two-person sign-off before they can | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
be issued.
No threat here. And while thousands | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
say they've been left traumatised,
for others, ignorance was bliss. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:36 | |
You may remember the story
of the former colonel | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
in the Russian Secret Service
who was killed in London | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
in a notorious murder case in 2006. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:42 | |
Alexander Litvinenko
was poisoned with the highly | 0:17:42 | 0:17:52 | |
radioactive substance polonium 210. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:54 | |
A public inquiry in 2016 concluded
that his murder was a FSB operation, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
radioactive substance polonium 210. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
radioactive substance polonium 210. | 0:17:58 | 0:17:59 | |
radioactive substance polonium 210. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
A public inquiry in 2016 concluded
that his murder was a FSB operation, | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
and that President Putin
probably approved it. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
More than ten years after his death,
the BBC's Witness programme caught | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
up with his wife, Marina. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
Scotland Yard is investigating
the suspected poisoning of a Russian | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
dissident living in Britain. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:18 | |
Alexander Litvinenko, once a colonel
in the Russian security service. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Now he's fighting for his life. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:29 | |
When I met him the
first time, I didn't | 0:18:29 | 0:18:31 | |
think, it's my future husband. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:37 | |
He was very shy, he was absolutely
different to what you usually think | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
about officer of
the security service. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:42 | |
I feel very safe with him. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
I feel loved. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:53 | |
Sasha's life belongs
to serving the country. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
He went to Army when he
was just 17 years old. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
He joined headquarters exactly
in a time when the Soviet Union | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
collapsed, and his job was more
against organised crime. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
The growth in crime
or so affects those who | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
have done well out of change. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:10 | |
A bullet-proof car with
a team of bodyguards | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
take this top banker
to | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
work. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:14 | |
It was crazy time. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
People tried to earn
money any different | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
way. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
When organised crime,
people from security service, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
people from government started
to cooperate | 0:19:25 | 0:19:28 | |
together, and this is not for better
future of this country. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
It's not better for people. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
It's just for themselves. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:37 | |
Mr Litvinenko spent the last decade
taking on the Kremlin. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
He first broke ranks
with his old bosses in 1998, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
when he claimed he'd been ordered
to murder the Russian | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
tycoon Boris Berezovsky. | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
When he told me they were going
to this press conference, | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
I was already very nervous and said,
are you sure you have to do this? | 0:19:54 | 0:20:01 | |
Sasha said, "I have no choice." | 0:20:01 | 0:20:02 | |
We need to be very
noisy to say what we | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
know about this crime. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:12 | |
He said, "Marina, you need
to travel abroad." | 0:20:12 | 0:20:20 | |
I said, "why? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:21 | |
Why do I need to go?" | 0:20:21 | 0:20:24 | |
And we decided to go to London." | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
We asked for political asylum. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:27 | |
On the 1st of November,
he had lunch with an | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
Italian contact in a Japanese
restaurant in central London. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
On the same day, he met two Russian
contacts in a London hotel. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
Hours later, he began to feel ill. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
He hardly can walk. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
In hospital, Sasha say,
"could you check me for poison?" | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
And they looked at us, like,
you are crazy people. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
Why we need to do this? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:53 | |
Sasha explained, "I am a former
officer from Russia and I have very | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
powerful enemies." | 0:20:56 | 0:20:57 | |
And, when I saw all his hair
on his shoulders, on | 0:20:57 | 0:21:05 | |
his pillow, and then
I just grabbed his hat | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
and I saw hairs on my gloves. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
I was shocked. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:13 | |
He looks like after chemotherapy. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
For somebody to have this
level of radiation, they | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
would have either to have eaten it,
inhaled it or taken it | 0:21:21 | 0:21:23 | |
in through a wound. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Which of those it was,
we don't know. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
When Sasha opened his eyes,
he was looking very upset. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:40 | |
I said, "Don't worry, Sasha. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:44 | |
I'll be back tomorrow." | 0:21:44 | 0:21:54 | |
And suddenly he said, "Marina,
I love you so much." | 0:21:55 | 0:21:57 | |
System that was built in Russia
killed not only my husband. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
So many people were killed. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:01 | |
Because everything that happens
in Russia now, it's about money. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
He believed his job,
it's for people. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:08 | |
Probably why I like this
about Sasha, his feeling. | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
It's not only his duty. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
It is his passion. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
Even Sasha is not here,
he is still part of me. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:24 | |
Marina Litvinenko there speaking to
the BBC's Witness programme. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:37 | |
Tulsen Tollett has all the sport. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:38 | |
Manchester City's unbeaten run
in the Premier League this | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
season has come to an end
after they were beaten 4-3 | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
at Liverpool in a thrilling match. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
City still lead by 15 points. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
Although Jurgen Klopp's side,
who are third with an unbeaten run | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
of 18 games themselves,
showed there is life | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
after Phillipe Coutinho's
record move to Barcelona. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
The BBC's Alan Green
was watching at Anfield. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
Shrimp a sensational game, living up
to all hopes, all expectations. - | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
simply.
The two best attacking teams in the | 0:22:58 | 0:23:03 | |
country produced seven goals and the
outcome in doubt until the final | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
whistle. Liverpool took the lead
from Oxlade-Chamberlain in the ninth | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
minute. Sane equalised before
half-time. Then the second half. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:16 | |
Three Liverpool goals in eight
minutes. City didn't drop their | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
heads. Substitute, Silva made it
4-2. Then in stoppage time. 4-3. But | 0:23:18 | 0:23:26 | |
Liverpool held | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
on and they probably deserve to. To
be honest I was not really scared. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:35 | |
Not that I City couldn't get a
fourth one. I know it is possible | 0:23:35 | 0:23:43 | |
but I only really just enjoyed the
game. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:50 | |
Meanwhile, Arsenal were beaten
2-1 at Bournemouth in | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
Sunday's early kick off. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:53 | |
Despite falling behind Eddie Howe's
team recovered to score two goals | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
in the space of four minutes
through Callum Wilson and Jordon Ibe | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
to lift themselves up
four places to 13th, | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
while Arsene Wenger who's side
are winless over five games | 0:24:00 | 0:24:04 | |
in all competitions has said
he would review the defeat | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
in a "harsh way" | 0:24:06 | 0:24:14 | |
Barcelona have bought back from 2-0
down away at sore dad. Suarez scored | 0:24:14 | 0:24:21 | |
twice to drive them into the lead
against the Basque side -- Sociadad. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:37 | |
Sevilla were dealt a blow
when relegation threatened Alaves | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
defeated them 1-0. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:40 | |
India still trail South Africa
by 152 runs after Day 2 | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
of the second test in Centurion
despite an unbeaten 85 | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
from captain Virat Kohli. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
India bowled the hosts out
for 335 before lunch - | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
Ravi Ashwin claiming four wickets. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
The visitors reached 183 for 5
at stumps as they look to level | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
the three Test series. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:54 | |
The Australian Open starts in just
under three hours' time | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
with defending men's champion,
Roger Federer, again | 0:24:57 | 0:24:58 | |
one of the favourites. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
The 36-year-old Swiss
who won his first Grand Slam | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
for five years in Melbourne last
year, before adding a further | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Wimbledon crown later in 2017,
believes his age should count | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
against him. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
With age I feel like, you know, I
play down my chances just because I | 0:25:08 | 0:25:12 | |
don't think a 36-year-old should be
a favourite of a tournament. It | 0:25:12 | 0:25:16 | |
should not be the case. So that's
why I see things more relaxed, you | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
know, in the later stage of my
career. I feel like maybe somebody, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
like a Rafa, with the year that he
has or a Novak with the six titles | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |
he has had here. Even though it is
unknown how he is feeling, they | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
could very well be the favourites,
too. So tend of the day it is all | 0:25:32 | 0:25:38 | |
just talk beforehand.
That's your sport for now. Thank you | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
