0:00:00 > 0:00:01And it's cold outside but the Patriots and Eagles will be

0:00:01 > 0:00:07inside in Minneapolis as they battle it out in the 52nd Super Bowl.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hello and welcome to World News Today.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Another development in the diplomatic thaw between North

0:00:20 > 0:00:22and South Korea over the Winter Olympics -

0:00:22 > 0:00:25the North is to send its highest ranking official for years

0:00:25 > 0:00:30to the South to the Games.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Here he is - Kim Yong-nam, the ceremonial head

0:00:32 > 0:00:35of state, will lead a 22-member delegation to the South

0:00:35 > 0:00:42beginning on Friday.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44It comes as the two nations put

0:00:44 > 0:00:45on an unprecedented show

0:00:45 > 0:00:47of sporting collaboration today, fielding a joint women's

0:00:47 > 0:00:48ice hockey team.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51It played an international friendly against Sweden.

0:00:51 > 0:00:52The BBC's Laura Bicker reports.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Fierce and determined, the Korean players head

0:00:54 > 0:00:57onto the rink to prove they are not just pawns in a

0:00:57 > 0:01:00political drama or an experiment in sports diplomacy.

0:01:00 > 0:01:06They fight hard against high-ranking Sweden.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Willed on by a crowd eager to witness a

0:01:09 > 0:01:12piece of history and waving the flag of a unified Korea.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15TRANSLATION:I was so touched, I feel so good

0:01:15 > 0:01:18because I felt the passion of the players and it felt

0:01:18 > 0:01:20like we were one together.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23But this team's formation has been controversial.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27The South Korean hockey coach has had to tell

0:01:27 > 0:01:30players she has worked with for years that they have lost their spot

0:01:30 > 0:01:37to make way for North Koreans, such as this player.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39We are not allowed to ask the North Koreans any

0:01:39 > 0:01:42questions at the press conference, but the South Korean coach was frank

0:01:42 > 0:01:45when I asked her about the challenges.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47TRANSLATION:Any players that have not been with us for the

0:01:47 > 0:01:50last four years, learning our systems and understanding how our

0:01:50 > 0:01:53team plays, it is difficult.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57North Korean is different to

0:01:57 > 0:01:59South Korean so for our team meetings it is going

0:01:59 > 0:02:00through to English, to

0:02:00 > 0:02:03South Korean, to North Korean, so the meetings take three times as

0:02:03 > 0:02:05long.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08The event feels like a celebration but playing as one team

0:02:08 > 0:02:11under one flag has not been welcomed by the younger generation in South

0:02:11 > 0:02:18Korea.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20To them, unifying the two countries is a very distant goal.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22The North Korean players will not stay

0:02:22 > 0:02:23with their team-mates at the

0:02:23 > 0:02:26athletes' village, they will be kept in separate accommodation and

0:02:26 > 0:02:27watched over by minders.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29As the Olympics draw ever closer, language

0:02:29 > 0:02:31is not the only barrier this team faces.

0:02:31 > 0:02:39Laura Bicker, BBC News, Seoul.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42The pressure is continuing to grow on South Africa's President

0:02:42 > 0:02:43Jacob Zuma to step down.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45The top six officials from the country's governing ANC

0:02:45 > 0:02:47have arrived at his official residence in Pretoria -

0:02:47 > 0:02:52to discuss his future.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Mr Zuma is facing allegations of corruption and whether he can

0:02:55 > 0:02:57complete his term as president is looking increasingly uncertain.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58Here's the BBC's Andrew Harding in Johannesburg.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08He is swamped by scandal. South

0:03:08 > 0:03:08Africa's

0:03:08 > 0:03:09He is swamped by scandal. South Africa's President Jacob sooner has

0:03:09 > 0:03:13already been found guilty of breaking his oath of office -- Jacob

0:03:13 > 0:03:20Zuma and he has refurbished his home at taxpayer expense. More recently

0:03:20 > 0:03:23his controversial developments with the business family the Guptill is

0:03:23 > 0:03:31as cause controversy. During the Jacob Zuma presidency, South Africa

0:03:31 > 0:03:34has floundered, unemployment is soaring, amid a sense that senior

0:03:34 > 0:03:43officials could get away with anything. But in December, Jacob

0:03:43 > 0:03:48Zuma and his allies lost control of the governing ANC and the new man,

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Cyril Ramaphosa, promising to end impunity.Everyone agrees that our

0:03:53 > 0:03:59state was captured by people who purported to be close to the

0:03:59 > 0:04:04president, who have been doing really bad things in getting into

0:04:04 > 0:04:11all and many state institutions.And suddenly there is real change in the

0:04:11 > 0:04:14air here. Prosecutors seizing this State farm in connection with

0:04:14 > 0:04:20alleged fraud by the Guptill family and officials, and the courts

0:04:20 > 0:04:26pursuing corruption charges against President Zuma himself.I think

0:04:26 > 0:04:29these are important moments in South African politics. In all likelihood

0:04:29 > 0:04:34we will see arrests and big people being caught up in this because we

0:04:34 > 0:04:38are seeing that the wheel is turning and momentum is developing and I

0:04:38 > 0:04:44don't think that there is any turning back.Fonau, Jacob Zuma is

0:04:44 > 0:04:49clinging to his job, but his allies are discerning -- deserting him and

0:04:49 > 0:04:53to night party leaders are meeting to discuss his removal. In places

0:04:53 > 0:04:58like Zimbabwe and tenure we have seen this sort of situation turn

0:04:58 > 0:05:03ugly and dangerous -- and Kenya. But South Africa is a robust democracy

0:05:03 > 0:05:07and whether he is pushed or jumps, President Zuma will soon be out of

0:05:07 > 0:05:13power and, most likely, in court on corruption charges. It is a moment

0:05:13 > 0:05:18of drama and optimism for a country poised to exit the troubled

0:05:18 > 0:05:21President Zuma era.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Two people have died in a crash between a freight train

0:05:24 > 0:05:26and an Amtrak passenger train in South Carolina.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Early indications suggest the Amtrak train was on the wrong track.

0:05:28 > 0:05:34It's the third deadly crash involving the national

0:05:34 > 0:05:37carrier in just seven weeks.

0:05:37 > 0:05:43It is a horrible thing to see, to understand the force involved. Two

0:05:43 > 0:05:48trains, that is about as forceful as you can get. The engine of the first

0:05:48 > 0:05:57engine of the freight train was torn up and the engine of the passenger

0:05:57 > 0:06:02train which was headed south was barely recognisable. It is quite a

0:06:02 > 0:06:07crash.

0:06:07 > 0:06:17David Willis has been following the story from Washington.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23Those figures, 139 passengers on board, and eight crew, we know that

0:06:23 > 0:06:29the two people who died in the incident were both Amtrak employees.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33This passenger train colliding with a stationary freight train south of

0:06:33 > 0:06:40Colombia, which is the capital of South Carolina, just after 2am local

0:06:40 > 0:06:46time, and the speed given the passenger train at the time of the

0:06:46 > 0:06:53collision was 59 mph. 116 passengers, they say, were

0:06:53 > 0:06:57transported to local hospitals, many of them with minor injuries, but

0:06:57 > 0:07:01some broken bones but officials from the National Transportation Safety

0:07:01 > 0:07:06Board are on their way to the scene, as is normal, and that is the

0:07:06 > 0:07:09federal agency which investigates these incidents and they will look

0:07:09 > 0:07:16into it. Meanwhile the governor of South Carolina has said that it does

0:07:16 > 0:07:21appear that the Amtrak train, the passenger train, was on the wrong

0:07:21 > 0:07:27track at the time of the collision. You mentioned it was the third

0:07:27 > 0:07:30serious rail accident in America in as many months. What sort of debate

0:07:30 > 0:07:35is there over rail safety there?I think this will prompt a renewed

0:07:35 > 0:07:42debate about rail safety here, not least because the South Carolina

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Governor has prompted one, saying perhaps this is the time to have

0:07:45 > 0:07:51such a debate, and in actual fact, it's worth noting that Congress has

0:07:51 > 0:07:58not passed a long-term funding bill for Amtrak since 2008 and has relied

0:07:58 > 0:08:04relief -- repeatedly on short-term extensions of existing funding

0:08:04 > 0:08:11levels. And, indeed, the Trump administration proposed cutting by

0:08:11 > 0:08:1513% the allocation of funds for Amtrak. President Trump has now come

0:08:15 > 0:08:21up with this very big infrastructure plan, $1 trillion in total but it is

0:08:21 > 0:08:27not clear how much, if any of it, will be earmarked for improving the

0:08:27 > 0:08:30railroads, the safety of the railroads and so on, so the debate

0:08:30 > 0:08:37is filling out.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Hundreds of thousands of Greeks have protested in Athens

0:08:42 > 0:08:44against the former Yugoslav republic to the north using

0:08:44 > 0:08:45the name Macedonia.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47The latest talks on the long-running dispute are underway

0:08:47 > 0:08:48at the United Nations.

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Greece objects because it has a region called Macedonia,

0:08:50 > 0:08:53and argues the use by its neighbour implies it has claims

0:08:53 > 0:08:58over the province.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Re-election has been won in the second term in the presidential

0:09:02 > 0:09:05elections in Cyprus. The Conservative incumbent got 55% of

0:09:05 > 0:09:09the vote and has promised to restart his talks with Turkish Cypriots who

0:09:09 > 0:09:15govern the north of the island. Police in fraud have arrested a man

0:09:15 > 0:09:19who is alleged to have made threats to kidnap the singer Lana Del Rey.

0:09:19 > 0:09:24Michael Hunt faces charges of aggravated stalking with a credible

0:09:24 > 0:09:31threat and an attempted kidnapping with a weapon. The UK Home Secretary

0:09:31 > 0:09:34has played down government internal divisions over Brexit at the start

0:09:34 > 0:09:43of a crucial week in negotiations. Amber Rudd said the Cabinet was more

0:09:43 > 0:09:46divided than people thought. Michel Barnier will be in London shortly

0:09:46 > 0:09:49for talks and the UK Brexit committee will meet later this week

0:09:49 > 0:10:02seeking agreement on the way forward. Eleanor Garnier reports.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21I have a surprise for the Brexiteers. The committee is more

0:10:21 > 0:10:25united than they think. We meet in the committee, privately for

0:10:25 > 0:10:29discussions, and I think we will arrive at something which suits us

0:10:29 > 0:10:35all.Exactly how we trade with the EU after Brexit is the source of

0:10:35 > 0:10:39division in the Tories. Some want complete disentanglement from

0:10:39 > 0:10:43Brussels but others hope to stay as close to the EU as possible. The

0:10:43 > 0:10:48Home Secretary believes that the government priorities are clear. We

0:10:48 > 0:10:51want fiction -- frictionless trade at the border and make sure there is

0:10:51 > 0:10:55no border on the island of Ireland and we want to make sure we can do

0:10:55 > 0:10:58trade deals outside the European Union.That is the deal we are

0:10:58 > 0:11:02looking for.It is clear to all in the Conservative Party how difficult

0:11:02 > 0:11:05it will be to get everyone on side. There are inherent tensions in

0:11:05 > 0:11:10Brexit because different people take different views. It's not just in

0:11:10 > 0:11:21the Conservative or Labour Party, it's across the country and we need

0:11:21 > 0:11:23a team effort, loud and clear.So far the Prime Minister has prevented

0:11:23 > 0:11:25the decade-old split in the Conservative Party over Europe from

0:11:25 > 0:11:27spilling out into something more serious, something which could spell

0:11:27 > 0:11:30a crisis for her government. But with crucial ministerial meetings --

0:11:30 > 0:11:33meetings this week to pin down and agreed position on the future

0:11:33 > 0:11:38relationship with the EU, Theresa May will finally have to pick a

0:11:38 > 0:11:42path, and whichever she chooses, she risks making a large swathe of her

0:11:42 > 0:11:48party unhappy. It is not just a battle at home, winning in Brussels

0:11:48 > 0:11:52is also key, and with more negotiations with the EU this week,

0:11:52 > 0:11:57the next few days could be pivotal for the Prime Minister.

0:11:57 > 0:12:02China is accusing the United States of exaggerating Beijing's

0:12:02 > 0:12:03nuclear strength, saying America needs

0:12:03 > 0:12:06to ditch what it calls a "Cold War mentality".

0:12:06 > 0:12:08The statement comes after Washington unveiled a new nuclear policy,

0:12:08 > 0:12:10which included plans to diversify its nuclear

0:12:10 > 0:12:11armoury with smaller bombs.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13The policy also highlighted concerns about Russia and North Korea.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15The Chinese defence ministry said the US had engaged

0:12:15 > 0:12:23in presumptuous speculation about Beijing's intentions.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27With me is Elizabeth Minor an advisor at Article 36,

0:12:27 > 0:12:28a member of the International Campaign to Abolish

0:12:29 > 0:12:35Nuclear Weapons.

0:12:35 > 0:12:39What is your reaction to what the US has announced with its policy

0:12:39 > 0:12:44change?As you were saying, China is saying that this represents a Cold

0:12:44 > 0:12:47War mentality we think the risk from nuclear weapons never went away

0:12:47 > 0:12:51since the Cold War so this policy represents a kind of reckless

0:12:51 > 0:12:56development on what was already a dangerous status quo.You think it

0:12:56 > 0:13:02rejuvenates the of having nuclear weapons rather than rejuvenating it?

0:13:02 > 0:13:06The nuclear weapons they think should be more usable and they

0:13:06 > 0:13:10should be more willing and able to use them and there is a proposal

0:13:10 > 0:13:13that low yield nuclear weapons should be more available but the low

0:13:13 > 0:13:17yield weapons they are talking about are similar size to the bombs

0:13:17 > 0:13:22dropped on Hiroshima in Nagasaki to such horrific effect in 1945. We

0:13:22 > 0:13:28think that any policy that makes these more usable is poor.The US is

0:13:28 > 0:13:32talking about the deterrent factor, it is saying that countries like

0:13:32 > 0:13:37Russia see the bombs that the US have as too big to be used so they

0:13:37 > 0:13:41are not, in effect, a deterrent.The mentality that needs addressing is

0:13:41 > 0:13:47that some states see nuclear weapons as a legitimate tool of statecraft,

0:13:47 > 0:13:52including the Trump doctrine that came out, but also states like China

0:13:52 > 0:13:56and Britain and the majority of the world countries are already

0:13:56 > 0:13:59challenging this through a new treaty on the prohibition of nuclear

0:13:59 > 0:14:03weapons that was in the UN and adopted, so only through these kind

0:14:03 > 0:14:09of routes can we create conditions for multilateral disarmament to be

0:14:09 > 0:14:12possible.Is this the right time to be thinking about disarmament when

0:14:12 > 0:14:16we see nuclear -- North Korea becomes close to being a nuclear

0:14:16 > 0:14:21power? Why should the world scale back at a critical time?As your

0:14:21 > 0:14:24viewers know very well there has been dangerous escalation in the

0:14:24 > 0:14:30region over the past year and new policies like the Trump nuclear

0:14:30 > 0:14:34doctrine, we do not see how these can dampen that down in the short

0:14:34 > 0:14:37term but we are talking about long-term solutions to set the stage

0:14:37 > 0:14:42for addressing the danger of nuclear weapons.In a sense, do the powers

0:14:42 > 0:14:46that have nuclear weapons have a chance when you see what a country

0:14:46 > 0:14:50like North Korea is doing?What we need to do is create a global

0:14:50 > 0:14:54environment in which the weapons are not seen as legitimate any more.Can

0:14:54 > 0:15:00you do that with North Korea?If you look at the other weapons of mass

0:15:00 > 0:15:03destruction, thereafter you countries who would argue today that

0:15:03 > 0:15:07it would be legitimate to have arsenals of them. It might surprise

0:15:07 > 0:15:11people to know that the Margaret Thatcher Cabinet was looking at

0:15:11 > 0:15:14asking Nato to adopt a chemical deterrent which would not be seen as

0:15:14 > 0:15:18right now. We have to do the same nuclear weapons which affects all

0:15:18 > 0:15:22states and this is why the treaty is important, not just to address the

0:15:22 > 0:15:27short-term situation, but longer term to make the world safe from

0:15:27 > 0:15:35these weapons.Elizabeth, thank you for coming in.

0:15:35 > 0:15:37Stay with us on BBC World News, still to come.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40We'll have the latest on today's vital Premier League clash

0:15:40 > 0:15:42between Liverpool and Spurs - along with all the rest

0:15:42 > 0:15:43of the day's sport.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55This is the moment is that millions in Iran have been waiting for. After

0:15:55 > 0:16:02his long years in ex-aisle, the first steps of President Khmeni on

0:16:45 > 0:16:50world nonstop.

0:16:51 > 0:16:53This is BBC World News Today.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56The latest headlines.

0:16:56 > 0:17:02A unified North and South Korean ice hockey team plays its first match

0:17:02 > 0:17:06ahead of the Winter Olympics, losing to Sweden.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09South Africa's president Jacob Zuma comes under further pressure as top

0:17:09 > 0:17:11ANC officials try to persuade him to stand down.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27Let's get a sports update now from Gavin Ramjauin

0:17:27 > 0:17:33at the BBC Sport Centre.

0:17:33 > 0:17:34Let's start with the Premier League.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36Because there was a sensational finish to the match between

0:17:36 > 0:17:38Liverpool and Tottenham at Anfield.

0:17:38 > 0:17:40Spurs scored a penalty with virtually the last kick

0:17:40 > 0:17:41of the match to earn a point.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44Harry Kane scored it to notch his 100th Premier League goal.

0:17:44 > 0:17:49Earlier Mohammed Salah had given Liverpool the lead ,

0:17:49 > 0:17:52before a fantastic Victor Wanyama strike pulled it back to 1-1.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57Kane then missed a penalty - which would have put Spurs ahead..

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Salah then put Liverpool in front - in stoppage time,

0:17:59 > 0:18:01before Spurs were then awarded a controversial penalty

0:18:01 > 0:18:04which Kane converted..

0:18:04 > 0:18:08I don't understand both of them. They were both clearly offside. He

0:18:08 > 0:18:14was clearly offside, and from our position that he was offside but it

0:18:14 > 0:18:20seems it was not McLear. The second penalty, the referee and the

0:18:20 > 0:18:25assistant say afterwards that there is a torch, a little such, but we

0:18:25 > 0:18:38all know he wants that touch and he wants to go down. -- a little touch.
