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

There were seven astronauts
on board, | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
one of them a woman school teacher. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |

By the evening, Tahrir Square,
the heart of official Cairo, | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
was in the hands
of the demonstrators. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
They were using the
word "revolution". | 0:13:39 | 0:13:48 | |
The earthquake singled out buildings
and brought them down in seconds. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
Tonight, the search for any

Moscow got its first taste
of Western fast food as McDonald's | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
opened their biggest restaurant

But the hundreds of Muscovites
who queued up today | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
will not find it cheap,
with a Big Mac costing | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
half a day's wages for
the average Russian. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
This is BBC World News. Russian
opposition leader Alexei Navalny has | 0:14:33 | 0:14:39 | |
been released without charge after
being detained at a rally in Moscow | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
calling for a boycott of the
presidential elections. And Ingvar | 0:14:43 | 0:14:47 | |
Kamprad, the brains behind the Ikea
furniture empire, has died at the | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
age of 91. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:52 | |
A day of mourning has been taking
place in the Afghan capital, Kabul, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
for more than 100 people killed
in Saturday's bomb attack. | 0:14:55 | 0:15:02 | |
The attack, using an ambulance
packed with explosives, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:03 | |
was the worst to hit
the city in months. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
Our correspondent Secunder Kermani
reports from Kabul. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
Hospitals across Kabul
have been at full stretch, | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
trying to treat the huge
number of wounded. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
This taxi driver was just metres
away from the explosion. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:22 | |
TRANSLATION:
There was smoke, shrapnel | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
and burning smell everywhere. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
Everyone looked terrified. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
There were dead bodies and injured
people covering the street. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:33 | |
The Taliban packed this
ambulance with explosives. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
The attacker detonated
them close to a police | 0:15:35 | 0:15:37 | |
compound on a busy street. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
Over the last year,
Kabul has been repeatedly attacked. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
It used to be one of
the safest places in the country. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
Now it feels like one
of the most dangerous. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
The Taliban and the Islamic State
group both at the moment | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
seem to be focusing their efforts
on targeting the capital, Kabul, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
rather than trying to capture rural
territory from the security forces. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
They know that attacks
here will spread fear, | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
will generate headlines,
and will undermine the government. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
I asked the head of the Afghan
intelligence service about rising | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
public anger with his forces'
failure to prevent so many attacks. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:17 | |
We are using all our assets,
all our...whatever possibility | 0:16:17 | 0:16:23 | |
and resources in our hand
to prevent it. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
But you cannot prevent
100% of the attacks. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
Meanwhile, the families
of victims line up | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
outside hospitals
desperate for news. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
This man has been going
from morgue to morgue, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
trying to identify
his cousin's corpse. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
TRANSLATION:
I've seen so many dead bodies, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
all the morgues are full of them, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
they are all burned so badly,
you can't even recognise them. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:56 | |
Last year, more than
2000 civilians were killed | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
in just nine months
across Afghanistan. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
This year looks set to be
just as deadly. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |

A French climber stranded on
one of Pakistan's highest peaks | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
has been flown to hospital
after a rescue operation. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:17 | |
But the search for her Polish
climbing partner has been abandoned. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
Elisabeth Revol was in northern
Pakistan on Friday. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
They were attempting
to scale Nanga Parbat, | 0:17:25 | 0:17:30 | |
also known as the "Killer Mountain",
when they became stuck. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:32 | |
Tim Pattinson reports. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
A dramatic rescue operation
on one of the world's highest | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
and most deadly mountains. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
An elite climbing team
was rushed to the rescue | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
after two climbers became stranded. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
As part of this daring
high-altitude mission, | 0:17:47 | 0:17:54 | |
the team was dropped more
than 1000 metres | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
below the lost climbers'
last-known position. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:57 | |
They scaled the mountain overnight,
eventually finding the French | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
climber Elisabeth Revol alive. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
A friend and fellow mountaineer
described the rescue attempt. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:05 | |
They started their incredibly
heroic and extraordinarily fast | 0:18:05 | 0:18:08 | |
seven-hour climb towards her. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
She was able to start moving,
and that is what, perhaps, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
saved her, because had she stayed
where she was, it's not certain | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
at all whether they would have been
able to reach in time. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:20 | |
Elisabeth Revol has now arrived
in the capital, Islamabad, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
and is being treated for frostbite. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
But the whereabouts
of climbing partner remain. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:26 | |
Tomasz Mackiewicz had
become separated. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
He was reportedly suffering
from frostbite and snow blindness. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
Now the search has been called
off due to bad weather | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
and treacherous conditions. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:33 | |
Tim Pattinson, BBC News. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:43 | |
We will keep you updated on that.
Bat get you updated on this board. | 0:18:51 | 0:19:01 | |
-- let's get you updated on the
sport. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
There were tears from
Roger Federer as he won | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
the Australian Open. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:06 | |
It's a 20th Grand Slam title for him
and a record equalling sixth | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
at the event in Melbourne. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
He's now won 10% of all
the Grand Slams in the open era | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
after he beat Marin
Cilic over five sets. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
Ominously he said, even at the age
of 36, he will never | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
get tired of winning. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:20 | |
It's so much fun, really,
you know, we all work | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
hard, we'll sacrifice
a lot, being away from home | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
and all that stuff, but this
is what you live for, | 0:19:24 | 0:19:27 | |
you know, hopefully one day
when you experience these | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
moments, and I have
had so many of them, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
but I can't get tired of them. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
Also thanks to you guys
that keep me going, | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
so just a big thank you to always
supporting me, wherever you are in | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
the world, wherever I am,
I do feel the love, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
and I want to thank
you very much, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:43 | |
thanks for being out here tonight. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:52 | |
Manchester City manager
Pep Guardiola | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
says his side haven't
got the resources to challenge | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
for a domestic and European
quadruple this season. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
The League Cup finalists
beat Cardiff City 2-0 in Wales | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
to reach the fifth
round of the FA Cup | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
with goals from Kevin de Bruyne
and Raheem Sterling. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:12 | |
People ask me, you are invincibles
in the Premier League, I say no, we | 0:20:12 | 0:20:19 | |
will have a lighter squad, a lot of
players injured in this six months, | 0:20:19 | 0:20:24 | |
playing all season without a left
back. But that is not my concern. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
Chelsea also made it
through with a comfortable | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
3-0 win over Newcastle. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:33 | |
Michi Batshuayi scored a brace
in a rare start at Stamford Bridge. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
Marcos Alonso curled in a fine free
kick in the second half, | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
with the draw for the last 16
taking place on Monday. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:49 | |
In Spain, Luis Suarez has equalised
for leaders Barcelona in the past | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
two minutes against Alavez. Earlier,
John Guidetti put the relegation | 0:20:52 | 0:20:57 | |
threatened Alavez in front in the
23rd minute. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:03 | |
Earlier on Sunday second placed
Atletico Madrid scored three | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
second-half goals to win at home
against Las Palmas, while a late | 0:21:06 | 0:21:09 | |
Getafe goal saw Sevilla held,
with Leganes winning 3-2 | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
against Espanyol, thanks largely
to two Mario Hermoso own goals. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
In Italy's Serie A, Dries Mertens
scored twice for leaders Napoli, | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
as they won at home against Bologna,
Milan moved up three places | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
to seventh with a 2-1 victory
at the San Siro | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
over third placed Lazio, | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
while fifth placed Roma | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
are currently hosting
sixth placed Sampdoria. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
That is currently goalless. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
China's Li Haotong became
the first Asian player to win | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
the Dubai Desert Classic when he won
by a shot from four-time | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
major winner Rory McIlroy. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
Li who finished third at last year's
Open Championship also carded | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
a tournament record
score of 23-under. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
The 22-year-old will also become
the first man from China | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
to break into the world's top 50
when the latest rankings | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
are released, while for McIlroy
it was a case of so near yet so far. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:05 | |
That is all we have got time for,
back to you. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
Tonight is one of the biggest
nights of the year | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
for the music industry -
the Grammy Awards. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:12 | |
This year's ceremony takes place
in New York, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
and a number of superstars are
expected to perform, | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
including Sir Elton John,
who will duet with Miley Cyrus. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
In previous editions, the award
has been criticised of racist bias | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
against black artists,
but this year it is sexual | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
harassment on centre stage. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
harassment on centre stage. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:29 | |
Singers plan to wear a white rose | 0:22:29 | 0:22:30 | |
in solidarity to the
Time's Up movement. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
Our reporter Nada Tawfik
is there on the red carpet. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:39 | |
Nada | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Nada, looking very glamorous, how
much is the sexual harassment | 0:22:41 | 0:22:46 | |
problem and question on the agenda
there, do you think? Well, I can | 0:22:46 | 0:22:52 | |
tell you that here on the red
carpet, we have seen numerous men | 0:22:52 | 0:22:57 | |
and women wearing a white rose. And
that was really an initiative, an | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
idea that came about just a few days
ago by a newly formed group called | 0:23:01 | 0:23:09 | |
Voices In Entertainment, they wanted
a white rose to stand in solidarity | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
with victims of abuse, so many have
been following through with that | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
idea and doing just that. One
celebrity I spoke with was wearing | 0:23:15 | 0:23:20 | |
one and said that the industry has a
powerful voice, so it is important | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
that they use it and share their
stories and stories of their | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
colleagues, and we know that Kelly
Clarkson, Dua Lipa, they are also | 0:23:28 | 0:23:33 | |
expected to wear the white rose, and
it is the Grammys, of course, we | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
expect there to be a performance,
you know, honouring the Me Too | 0:23:38 | 0:23:44 | |
movement, and that will come from
Kesha, who has had a long legal | 0:23:44 | 0:23:50 | |
battle with her producer who she has
accused of sexual assault. He has | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
denied that, but it is opposed to be
a very powerful performance of a | 0:23:54 | 0:23:58 | |
ballot, hair and to him. And of
course the question of race has | 0:23:58 | 0:24:05 | |
always been controversial for the
Grammys, are they over that? -- of a | 0:24:05 | 0:24:12 | |
ballad, her anthem to him. For the
first time in history, a white male | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
is nominated for the top prize of
album of the year, and when you look | 0:24:17 | 0:24:21 | |
at the top awards, it is from a
diverse list of nominees. In fact, | 0:24:21 | 0:24:26 | |
for album of the year, it is thought
of as Jay Z up against Kendrick | 0:24:26 | 0:24:32 | |
Lemar, the two favourites, and they
are artist to have in the past | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
called out the Grammys for not being
in touch with hip-hop's influence on | 0:24:35 | 0:24:40 | |
the music industry and culture, so I
think it will be interesting to see | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
how many of those categories do go
to those diverse nominees. Now, it | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
is too early to tell if this is just
a blip, or if the Grammys has really | 0:24:49 | 0:24:54 | |
changed the way it considers music,
and away the academy votes and | 0:24:54 | 0:24:59 | |
music. There are 22,000 submissions
this year, 13,000 voting members, | 0:24:59 | 0:25:05 | |
and they say that they have changed
a lot to try and get people to look | 0:25:05 | 0:25:09 | |
at records that are not necessarily
kind of the past Grammy style, but I | 0:25:09 | 0:25:16 | |
doing really well on streaming and
are really popular amongst voters. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:22 | |
Just quickly, what are the other big
names that we should look out for | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
tonight? Well, there is going to be
performances tonight from Elton | 0:25:25 | 0:25:32 | |
John, Sam Smith is actually
honouring him, performances from | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
Lady Gaga, who doesn't have as many
nominations as in past years, and | 0:25:36 | 0:25:40 | |
there will be a tribute, I should
point out, from the country artists | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
who performed at the Vegas concert
where there was a mass shooting, the | 0:25:44 | 0:25:50 | |
deadliest mass shooting in US
history, they are paying tribute to | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
the victims. Nada Tawfik, thank you
very much indeed. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
Don't forget you can get
in touch with me and some | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
of the team on Twitter,
I'm @geetagurumurthy. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 |
