0:00:58 > 0:01:04in the Australian Open.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Hello and welcome to World News Today.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21In the last hour, the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24has been released without charge after his dramatic arrest
0:01:24 > 0:01:27earlier by police at a rally in Moscow.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30His supporters have been demonstrating across the
0:01:30 > 0:01:33vast country on Sunday, calling for a boycott of what they claim
0:01:33 > 0:01:35is a rigged Presidential election in March.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38This is the moment Mr Navalny was seized by police
0:01:38 > 0:01:40just after he arrived in Pushkinskaya Square
0:01:40 > 0:01:43in the centre of the Russian capital.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45He was trying to address hundreds of protesters
0:01:45 > 0:01:47who'd gatherered there.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49The BBC's Steve Rosenberg was at the protests
0:01:49 > 0:01:52and witnessed Mr Navalny's arrest.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56CHANTING
0:01:56 > 0:01:58It isn't easy taking on the Kremlin.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Alexei Navalny has been jailed three times in the last year.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05He has been barred from the upcoming presidential election.
0:02:05 > 0:02:11So today, Mr Navalny called his supporters onto the streets.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Alexei Navalny is Russia's most prominent opposition figure
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and President Putin's most vocal critic.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21He has been barred from running in the presidential election.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25He's now being arrested by police.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28This was no softly, softly.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32We saw Mr Navalny surrounded by police.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Seconds later, he was thrown onto the ground.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Then the politician Vladimir Putin cannot bring himself
0:02:40 > 0:02:48to mention by name was dragged into the police bus.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52His supporters called on voters to boycott the election.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55All the candidates, they believe, are hand-picked by the Kremlin.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58They are candidates that Putin approved.
0:02:58 > 0:03:03And we do not have candidates that we want to have.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06There is little doubt that Vladimir Putin will walk this election,
0:03:06 > 0:03:11with the help of Russian TV, which maintains his macho image,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14portraying him as a cross between action man
0:03:14 > 0:03:16and father of the nation.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21And Mr Putin enjoys far more airtime than any of the other candidates.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23But the Kremlin still needs people to come out
0:03:24 > 0:03:27and vote for Vladimir Putin.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30That is why calls to boycott the elections
0:03:30 > 0:03:34are making the Russian authorities nervous.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Steve Rosenberg, BBC News.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Earlier I spoke to Leonid Ragozin, a Russian journalist
0:03:40 > 0:03:45who's covered Alexei Navalny's political movement in depth.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46I began by asking him why the authorities
0:03:47 > 0:03:53want to arrest Mr Navalny.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Navalny has created the best network of headquarters in different regions
0:03:59 > 0:04:07of Russia, and he has made an unprecedented breakthrough into the
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Russian regions, he really expanded the geography of the protests, and
0:04:10 > 0:04:17he has discovered and brought these younger people who are manning his
0:04:17 > 0:04:21protests. It will take a long time in Russia before it will end up with
0:04:21 > 0:04:30a transition to another kind of government. But Putin is entering
0:04:30 > 0:04:38his lame-duck period of presidency. The six years will be manifested by
0:04:38 > 0:04:43a lot of infighting in the Kremlin and the growing movement led by
0:04:43 > 0:04:47Navalny will be a factor in the equation.Is there not a fear about
0:04:47 > 0:04:54what could happen to Mr Navalny, Putin's grasp on power is so
0:04:54 > 0:04:58enormous.Peas a hostage to Putin and his life is at risk, but then
0:04:58 > 0:05:03Putin is a hostage to Navalny, and the consequences of doing something
0:05:03 > 0:05:06to Navalny would be very grateful the regime, and that is why Navalny
0:05:06 > 0:05:11himself is not in jail, and that is because of his significance, because
0:05:11 > 0:05:15there is real power behind Navalny.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Dozens of people have been killed after heavy fighting
0:05:20 > 0:05:22in the Yemeni port city of Aden.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24It followed clashes between separatists who want
0:05:24 > 0:05:26independence for south Yemen
0:05:26 > 0:05:28and forces loyal to the Saudi-backed government.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30The Yemeni government has called for a ceasefire
0:05:30 > 0:05:34and urged Arab allies to intervene.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Turkish media say the military have used improved
0:05:35 > 0:05:40weather conditions to resume air and artillery strikes
0:05:40 > 0:05:42against a Kurdish militia in northwestern Syria.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45The Anatolia news agency said a hill near the strategic border town
0:05:45 > 0:05:50of Azaz in the Kurdish region of Afrin was attacked.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Hollywood actress and UN goodwill ambassador Angelina Jolie has urged
0:05:52 > 0:05:57world leaders to find a way to solve Syria's near eight-year war.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59She was speaking during her fifth visit
0:05:59 > 0:06:03to the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05The actress said it was "soul-destroying"
0:06:05 > 0:06:10for the refugees to be made so dependent.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Even if you've never been to Ikea, you've probably heard of
0:06:13 > 0:06:15the Swedish retail giant that's now a global brand.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The man who founded it, and revolutionised
0:06:18 > 0:06:21the furniture industry, Ingvar Kamprad,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25has died at the age of 91 at his home in southern Sweden.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Here's our business correspondent, Joe Lynam.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Ingvar Kamprad can safely be described as a retailing genius.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37Born in 1926 in southern Sweden, he started selling matches aged five.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Then seeds and then pencils.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43At 17, he formed Ikea - named after his own initials
0:06:43 > 0:06:46and the area where he was born.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Now it's probably the best known furniture store in the world,
0:06:49 > 0:06:59with over 400 giant shops and annual sales of $42 billion.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03He was inspired to create the idea of flatpack furniture when watching
0:07:03 > 0:07:08someone remove the legs from a table to fit into a customer's car. He
0:07:08 > 0:07:11disowned his previous board for far right bodies in Sweden during the
0:07:11 > 0:07:16war and lived a modest lifestyle. His house and possessions did not
0:07:16 > 0:07:18reflect his wealth.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20TRANSLATION:I don't think I'm wearing anything that I haven't
0:07:20 > 0:07:22bought at a flea market.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I want to give a good example.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26If we are going to be conscious about our economy,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30one cannot just talk about it, one has to show that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:36The genius of Ingvar Kamprad was to persuade people
0:07:36 > 0:07:39to come to his store, pick up things they like if not necessary need,
0:07:39 > 0:07:46pick it up at his warehouse and assemble it at home.
0:07:46 > 0:07:53We are used to it now, but at the time it was laughed at.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Ikea said Ingvar Kamprad, who was involved with the business
0:07:55 > 0:07:58until recently, would be much missed by his family and warmly
0:07:58 > 0:08:06remembered by the company's employees worldwide.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10For more on this, I spoke to Birgitta Forsberg,
0:08:10 > 0:08:12a columnist and reporter for the Swedish newspaper
0:08:12 > 0:08:20Svenska Dagbladet.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24You had an exclusive feeling for people and what they wanted, and he
0:08:24 > 0:08:30always could see people, I mean, regular people, he always saw them.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34He saw them, and of course a lot of it was self-assembly furniture,
0:08:34 > 0:08:40which seemed very novel at the time. Yeah. They were very novel at the
0:08:40 > 0:08:46time as well, nobody had seen it before, and he also managed to have
0:08:46 > 0:08:50very modern designs at very low prices, so it was affordable for
0:08:50 > 0:08:55everybody.And it spread throughout the world, do you know where it was
0:08:55 > 0:09:00most publicI don't know where it is most popular!You don't. And what
0:09:00 > 0:09:05about his grip on the business, was he always very centrally involved?
0:09:05 > 0:09:11It was very centrally involved and had a very big need to have big
0:09:11 > 0:09:16control, so we controlled everything all the time, and he called the
0:09:16 > 0:09:20executives almost every day and kept being involved with the company,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25even though he was 91 years old, and he knew which products sold the
0:09:25 > 0:09:29most, which had the highest margins, he was very much involved always in
0:09:29 > 0:09:34his company.There has been mention of controversies in his past, his
0:09:34 > 0:09:41links with fascist parties when he was younger, for which he then
0:09:41 > 0:09:44apologised, allegations of tax evasion, links with the use of false
0:09:44 > 0:09:50labour. You know, how do you think that will affect the legacy?I don't
0:09:50 > 0:09:55know how he managed, but he had a very good hand with the media, so
0:09:55 > 0:09:59even though he had connections with fascist when he was young, this
0:09:59 > 0:10:03whole tax planning which are still going on, Swedes seem to four give
0:10:03 > 0:10:08him for everything.And how is he regarded in Sweden now?He is an
0:10:08 > 0:10:14icon, seen as Sweden's biggest entrepreneur ever, seen as a man of
0:10:14 > 0:10:18the people, a person who could speak to the people, and he is very well
0:10:18 > 0:10:18liked in Sweden.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Birgitta Forsberg on Ingvar Kamprad.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Here in the UK, the Prime Minister Theresa May is coming under
0:10:24 > 0:10:26new pressure about her leadership - and her policy on Brexit.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Some Conservative lawmakers believe she's not being tough enough
0:10:28 > 0:10:32in negotiations to leave the European Union.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Others are concerned that domestic policies are becoming paralysed.
0:10:34 > 0:10:41Our political correspondent Chris Mason reports.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44If it felt a little bit chilly for the Prime Minister
0:10:44 > 0:10:46at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland last week,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50well, the political forecast isn't looking much sunnier for her
0:10:50 > 0:10:55now she's back home.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Some of her MPs are fed up with what they see
0:10:57 > 0:11:00as her merely muddling along in office.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04And on top of that, some of those who campaigned for Brexit fear it
0:11:04 > 0:11:09being diluted to such an extent it never really properly happened.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12It is very complicated, and that is one of the reasons
0:11:12 > 0:11:15why I have advocated and supported compromise.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18But there is only so far you can go with compromise without ultimately
0:11:18 > 0:11:20finding yourself in a position where you are selling out
0:11:20 > 0:11:23on the people who voted to leave.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The Government says it is committed to delivering Brexit.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28But you know when a party is falling out with itself
0:11:28 > 0:11:30when senior figures, like this man, who is effectively
0:11:30 > 0:11:36the Prime Minister's deputy, have to say this.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38The Conservative family, left, right and centre,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41because we are a broad church, needs to come together
0:11:41 > 0:11:44in a spirit of mutual respect, because there are difficulties
0:11:44 > 0:11:46in any broad church, and look at what the bigger
0:11:46 > 0:11:48picture is showing.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51The next stage of Brexit negotiations is about what happens
0:11:51 > 0:11:53immediately after we formally leave the European Union
0:11:53 > 0:11:54at the end of March next year.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57For around two years, freedom of movement will continue.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58The Government will introduce a registration
0:11:58 > 0:12:04scheme for new arrivals.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07The rights of EU citizens here and UK citizens in the EU
0:12:07 > 0:12:14will remain the same.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16And EU laws will continue to apply.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19The Labour leader is facing his own divisions in a party
0:12:19 > 0:12:22that predominantly voted to remain within the EU, many of whose
0:12:22 > 0:12:25supporters, polls suggest, would like a second referendum.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29But Jeremy Corbyn says no to that.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31What we asked for and demanded in Parliament has been a meaningful
0:12:31 > 0:12:35vote in Parliament at the end of it.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39And what happened with this bill
0:12:39 > 0:12:41was it was an undemocratic power grab by the Government.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43We're not asking for a second referendum.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Tomorrow, the rest of the EU will get together in Brussels
0:12:48 > 0:12:50to sign of its approach to the transition
0:12:51 > 0:12:52or implementation period.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Brexit negotiations are about to crank up again.

0:14:55 > 0:15:02for more than 100 people killed in Saturday's bomb attack.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03The attack, using an ambulance packed with explosives,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06was the worst to hit the city in months.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Our correspondent Secunder Kermani reports from Kabul.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Hospitals across Kabul have been at full stretch,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16trying to treat the huge number of wounded.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24TRANSLATION: There was smoke, shrapnel

0:15:25 > 0:15:27Everyone looked terrified.
0:15:27 > 0:15:33There were dead bodies and injured people covering the street.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The Taliban packed this ambulance with explosives.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37The attacker detonated them close to a police
0:15:37 > 0:15:40compound on a busy street.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Over the last year, Kabul has been repeatedly attacked.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48It used to be one of the safest places in the country.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Now it feels like one of the most dangerous.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54The Taliban and the Islamic State group both at the moment
0:15:54 > 0:15:58seem to be focusing their efforts on targeting the capital, Kabul,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02rather than trying to capture rural territory from the security forces.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05They know that attacks here will spread fear,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09will generate headlines, and will undermine the government.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I asked the head of the Afghan intelligence service about rising
0:16:11 > 0:16:17public anger with his forces' failure to prevent so many attacks.
0:16:17 > 0:16:23We are using all our assets, all our...whatever possibility

0:17:12 > 0:17:17has been flown to hospital after a rescue operation.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22But the search for her Polish climbing partner has been abandoned.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Elisabeth Revol was in northern Pakistan on Friday.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30They were attempting to scale Nanga Parbat,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32also known as the "Killer Mountain", when they became stuck.

0:17:35 > 0:17:39A dramatic rescue operation on one of the world's highest
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and most deadly mountains.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44An elite climbing team was rushed to the rescue
0:17:44 > 0:17:47after two climbers became stranded.
0:17:47 > 0:17:54As part of this daring high-altitude mission,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56the team was dropped more than 1000 metres
0:17:56 > 0:17:57below the lost climbers' last-known position.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59They scaled the mountain overnight, eventually finding the French
0:17:59 > 0:18:01climber Elisabeth Revol alive.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05A friend and fellow mountaineer described the rescue attempt.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08They started their incredibly heroic and extraordinarily fast
0:18:08 > 0:18:11seven-hour climb towards her.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14She was able to start moving, and that is what, perhaps,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17saved her, because had she stayed where she was, it's not certain
0:18:17 > 0:18:20at all whether they would have been able to reach in time.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Elisabeth Revol has now arrived in the capital, Islamabad,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and is being treated for frostbite.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26But the whereabouts of climbing partner remain.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Tomasz Mackiewicz had become separated.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30He was reportedly suffering from frostbite and snow blindness.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Now the search has been called off due to bad weather
0:18:32 > 0:18:33and treacherous conditions.
0:18:33 > 0:18:43Tim Pattinson, BBC News.
0:18:51 > 0:19:01We will keep you updated on that. Bat get you updated on this board.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03-- let's get you updated on the sport.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There were tears from Roger Federer as he won
0:19:05 > 0:19:06the Australian Open.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09It's a 20th Grand Slam title for him and a record equalling sixth
0:19:10 > 0:19:11at the event in Melbourne.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14He's now won 10% of all the Grand Slams in the open era
0:19:14 > 0:19:16after he beat Marin Cilic over five sets.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Ominously he said, even at the age of 36, he will never
0:19:19 > 0:19:20get tired of winning.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22It's so much fun, really, you know, we all work
0:19:22 > 0:19:24hard, we'll sacrifice a lot, being away from home
0:19:24 > 0:19:27and all that stuff, but this is what you live for,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29you know, hopefully one day when you experience these
0:19:29 > 0:19:31moments, and I have had so many of them,
0:19:31 > 0:19:33but I can't get tired of them.

0:20:12 > 0:20:19People ask me, you are invincibles in the Premier League, I say no, we
0:20:19 > 0:20:24will have a lighter squad, a lot of players injured in this six months,
0:20:24 > 0:20:30playing all season without a left back. But that is not my concern.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Chelsea also made it through with a comfortable
0:20:32 > 0:20:333-0 win over Newcastle.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37Michi Batshuayi scored a brace in a rare start at Stamford Bridge.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Tonight is one of the biggest nights of the year
0:22:10 > 0:22:12for the music industry - the Grammy Awards.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14This year's ceremony takes place in New York,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and a number of superstars are expected to perform,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19including Sir Elton John, who will duet with Miley Cyrus.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21In previous editions, the award has been criticised of racist bias
0:22:21 > 0:22:23against black artists, but this year it is sexual
0:22:23 > 0:22:24harassment on centre stage.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29harassment on centre stage.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Singers plan to wear a white rose
0:22:30 > 0:22:33in solidarity to the Time's Up movement.
0:22:33 > 0:22:39Our reporter Nada Tawfik is there on the red carpet.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Nada
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Nada, looking very glamorous, how much is the sexual harassment
0:22:46 > 0:22:52problem and question on the agenda there, do you think?Well, I can
0:22:52 > 0:22:57tell you that here on the red carpet, we have seen numerous men
0:22:57 > 0:23:01and women wearing a white rose. And that was really an initiative, an
0:23:01 > 0:23:09idea that came about just a few days ago by a newly formed group called
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Voices In Entertainment, they wanted a white rose to stand in solidarity
0:23:12 > 0:23:15with victims of abuse, so many have been following through with that
0:23:15 > 0:23:20idea and doing just that. One celebrity I spoke with was wearing
0:23:20 > 0:23:25one and said that the industry has a powerful voice, so it is important
0:23:25 > 0:23:28that they use it and share their stories and stories of their
0:23:28 > 0:23:33colleagues, and we know that Kelly Clarkson, Dua Lipa, they are also
0:23:33 > 0:23:38expected to wear the white rose, and it is the Grammys, of course, we
0:23:38 > 0:23:44expect there to be a performance, you know, honouring the Me Too
0:23:44 > 0:23:50movement, and that will come from Kesha, who has had a long legal
0:23:50 > 0:23:54battle with her producer who she has accused of sexual assault. He has
0:23:54 > 0:23:58denied that, but it is opposed to be a very powerful performance of a
0:23:58 > 0:24:05ballot, hair and to him.And of course the question of race has
0:24:05 > 0:24:12always been controversial for the Grammys, are they over that? -- of a
0:24:12 > 0:24:17ballad, her anthem to him.For the first time in history, a white male
0:24:17 > 0:24:21is nominated for the top prize of album of the year, and when you look
0:24:21 > 0:24:26at the top awards, it is from a diverse list of nominees. In fact,
0:24:26 > 0:24:32for album of the year, it is thought of as Jay Z up against Kendrick
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Lemar, the two favourites, and they are artist to have in the past
0:24:35 > 0:24:40called out the Grammys for not being in touch with hip-hop's influence on
0:24:40 > 0:24:44the music industry and culture, so I think it will be interesting to see
0:24:44 > 0:24:49how many of those categories do go to those diverse nominees. Now, it
0:24:49 > 0:24:54is too early to tell if this is just a blip, or if the Grammys has really
0:24:54 > 0:24:59changed the way it considers music, and away the academy votes and
0:24:59 > 0:25:05music. There are 22,000 submissions this year, 13,000 voting members,
0:25:05 > 0:25:09and they say that they have changed a lot to try and get people to look
0:25:09 > 0:25:16at records that are not necessarily kind of the past Grammy style, but I
0:25:16 > 0:25:22doing really well on streaming and are really popular amongst voters.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Just quickly, what are the other big names that we should look out for
0:25:25 > 0:25:32tonight?Well, there is going to be performances tonight from Elton
0:25:32 > 0:25:36John, Sam Smith is actually honouring him, performances from
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Lady Gaga, who doesn't have as many nominations as in past years, and
0:25:40 > 0:25:44there will be a tribute, I should point out, from the country artists
0:25:44 > 0:25:50who performed at the Vegas concert where there was a mass shooting, the
0:25:50 > 0:25:54deadliest mass shooting in US history, they are paying tribute to
0:25:54 > 0:25:57the victims.Nada Tawfik, thank you very much indeed.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Don't forget you can get in touch with me and some
0:26:00 > 0:26:02of the team on Twitter, I'm @geetagurumurthy.
