0:00:07 > 0:00:12Theresa May spells out what she calls the hard facts of Brexit.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14In a major policy speech, the British Prime Minister claims
0:00:14 > 0:00:24the UK and EU are now close to a deal on the transition.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27President Trump insists the US can easily win any trade wars sparked
0:00:27 > 0:00:29by his decision to impose steep tariffs on steel and
0:00:29 > 0:00:30aluminium imports.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Italy prepares to go to the polls on Sunday with the familiar face
0:00:34 > 0:00:36of Silvio Berlusconi back on the election trail.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40Severe weather continues to bring chaos to large parts of Europe.
0:00:40 > 0:00:46At least 59 people have died in sub-zero temperatures.
0:01:02 > 0:01:09Hello and welcome.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11UK Prime Minister Theresa May has outlined her vision
0:01:11 > 0:01:13of Britain's future relationship with the European Union.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16She reiterated that the UK would not be part of the EU's single
0:01:16 > 0:01:17market or customs union.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Mrs May said both sides would have to accept 'hard facts'
0:01:20 > 0:01:22and that no one would get everything they wanted.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The Prime Minister also warned that the UK would have to pay money
0:01:25 > 0:01:31into some EU agencies to maintain access to them.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35What a challenge. To set up Britain's future relationship with
0:01:35 > 0:01:38the EU amid the political divisions at home and profound scepticism
0:01:38 > 0:01:45abroad. Acknowledging possible downsides to Brexit for the first
0:01:45 > 0:01:50time, she said Britain had to face up to hard facts.In certain ways
0:01:50 > 0:01:54our access to each other's markets will be less than it is now. How
0:01:54 > 0:01:57could the EU structure of rights and obligations be sustained if the UK
0:01:57 > 0:02:02or any country were allowed to enjoy all the benefits without all of the
0:02:02 > 0:02:09obligations?Mrs May is proposing a profound separation from Europe, the
0:02:09 > 0:02:13so-called hard Brexit of leaving the Customs Union and single market. But
0:02:13 > 0:02:18she says that should not stop there being what she called a deep
0:02:18 > 0:02:23partnership in the future.We should not think of leaving the EU as
0:02:23 > 0:02:28marking an ending as much as a new beginning for the UK and our
0:02:28 > 0:02:31relationship with our European allies. Change is not to be feared.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35So long as they face it with a clear-sighted determination to act
0:02:35 > 0:02:41for the common good.As to domestic reaction, her Beech has prompted
0:02:41 > 0:02:46calls for more detail from business, which remains anxious about Brexit.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51And has strong cautious praise from both the anti-and pro-European wings
0:02:51 > 0:02:57of governing Conservative Party. In Europe, the EU chief negotiators
0:02:57 > 0:03:01said Mrs May was at last facing reality but there would be
0:03:01 > 0:03:04trade-offs from Brexit. The European Parliament's Brexit coordinator was
0:03:04 > 0:03:14more harsh, Mrs May, he tweeted, was still being vague. It has been at a
0:03:14 > 0:03:17modulus week in the long-running drama that is Brexit. But the
0:03:17 > 0:03:21opposition Labour Party coming out in favour of closer ties with the
0:03:21 > 0:03:25EU. And two former Prime Minister -- Prime Minister 's morning of the
0:03:25 > 0:03:27dangers of leaving Europe and pleading with politicians and voters
0:03:27 > 0:03:34alike to think again. The politician left with carrying out the result of
0:03:34 > 0:03:37a referendum that has divided Britain like no other issue in
0:03:37 > 0:03:42decades said the country was facing a crucial moment. Thank you. Few
0:03:42 > 0:03:50would disagree. How was the speech received on the continent? Here is
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Katya Adler.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Here in Brussels it has been rather muted and wary.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57The EU's chief Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, took to Twitter
0:03:57 > 0:04:00to thank the Prime Minister for her clarity and say that
0:04:00 > 0:04:02confirmation that the UK would be leaving the single market
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and the customs union meant that it was heading for a free-trade
0:04:05 > 0:04:07agreement with the EU.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Privately, EU diplomats have praised the Prime Minister's
0:04:10 > 0:04:13more realistic tone, they said, admitting that both sides
0:04:13 > 0:04:15can't have exactly what they want.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17But they said they couldn't find much new in her speech
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and they lamented the absence of a workable solution, they said,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22to the Irish problem.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Manfred Weber, he's very close to Angela Merkel and a leader
0:04:25 > 0:04:28here in the European Parliament, he said that the UK was still
0:04:28 > 0:04:30burying its head in the sand.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Tonight we've got working groups from all the 27 EU member states
0:04:33 > 0:04:37who are poring over detail of the Prime Minister's speech.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40One diplomat said to me today he hoped that he would find coded
0:04:40 > 0:04:45messages to the EU in Theresa May's speech that would then become much
0:04:45 > 0:04:48clearer once they sit down again at the negotiating table.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50He said something similar happened with her last Brexit
0:04:50 > 0:04:57speech back in autumn.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Katya Adler reporting. That has turned to the US. -- let us turn.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05International stock markets have fallen after President Trump's
0:05:05 > 0:05:08announcement of planned tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Many of the United States' trading partners say they're
0:05:09 > 0:05:10considering retaliatory action.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12China's steel industry has called the move 'stupid'.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says the EU
0:05:15 > 0:05:19will will react in kind if Trump goes ahead.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Meanwhile the World Trade Organization say the potential
0:05:21 > 0:05:26for escalation is real and a trade war is in no one's interests.
0:05:26 > 0:05:33Our Washington Correspondent, Nick Bryant, has more.
0:05:33 > 0:05:39Harley Davidson, Levi and bourbon, why are they significant? Because
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Harley Davidson is made in Wisconsin, where the Republican
0:05:43 > 0:05:48House Speaker Paul Ryan comes from and a lot of bourbon comes from
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Kentucky, the home state of Mitch McConnell. It does seem to be very
0:05:51 > 0:05:57carefully targeted retaliatory strikes against Republicans, who
0:05:57 > 0:06:03frankly are not supportive of this move to invoke tariffs. Paul Ryan is
0:06:03 > 0:06:09calling for a rethink, he once the President to consider the unintended
0:06:09 > 0:06:12consequences but in the face of criticism is at home and abroad,
0:06:12 > 0:06:17turmoil in the global market, Donald Trump has said, bring it on. Trade
0:06:17 > 0:06:24wars are good thing and they can easily be one.He is being very
0:06:24 > 0:06:28vocal on Twitter, his favourite form of communication and China is also
0:06:28 > 0:06:35calling this a stupid idea.There really has been a mirage of
0:06:35 > 0:06:39international criticism for this. From countries like China and close
0:06:39 > 0:06:43neighbours like Canada, Justin Trudeau very critical, saying this
0:06:43 > 0:06:47would be unacceptable. Even allies who are pretty slavish in their
0:06:47 > 0:06:52support, like Austria. They have been critical as well. And there has
0:06:52 > 0:07:00been criticism within America from manufacturing organisations, the
0:07:00 > 0:07:03automobile group saying this would raise the cost of cars.Nick Bryant
0:07:03 > 0:07:06in Washington.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08The Turkish authorities have now confirmed that 41 of their soldiers
0:07:08 > 0:07:12have been killed so far in fighting, in the north Syrian region of Afrin.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's been one of the bloodiest days in this offensive
0:07:14 > 0:07:17which is targeting Kurdish fighters, known as the YPG.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Turkey considers the US-backed Kurdish militia that controls much
0:07:20 > 0:07:23of north-eastern Syria a terrorist group.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25The BBC has managed to film from the Kurdish
0:07:25 > 0:07:30side of the conflict - as Richard Galpin now reports.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42Night-time in Afrin province in north-eastern Syria. And Turkish
0:07:42 > 0:07:49jets are pounding the target, at a checkpoint. Bewildered survivors
0:07:49 > 0:07:55emerge out of the dark. And are picked up by ambulances. They have
0:07:55 > 0:08:00been part of a large convoy of vehicles bringing food and fuel for
0:08:00 > 0:08:07the people of Afrin city. There were casualties, including teenagers. But
0:08:07 > 0:08:14most people had managed to run to safety just in time. We came here as
0:08:14 > 0:08:21a peaceful convoy for our brothers in Afrin, we had no weapons, but the
0:08:21 > 0:08:29forces rained shells on us. We don't want them here or anywhere in Syria.
0:08:29 > 0:08:34This, the remnants of the convoy. Since Turkey began its offensive
0:08:34 > 0:08:38against Kurdish fighters in the area in January, human rights groups say
0:08:38 > 0:08:42more than 90 civilians have been killed and hundreds injured,
0:08:42 > 0:08:49including children. They described this as indiscriminate attacks. The
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Kurdish areas, marked in yellow, light along much of the border with
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Turkey. The Afrin pocket in the far north-west of Syria is a current
0:08:57 > 0:09:02focus of the Turkish offensive. But there may also be a move on the key
0:09:02 > 0:09:06city of Graham Beech to enter Kurdish fighters are driven well
0:09:06 > 0:09:12away from the Turkish border. The Turkish government says it is
0:09:12 > 0:09:16targeting a Kurdish group known as the YPG because it poses a strategic
0:09:16 > 0:09:21threat as it is linked to insurgents, also Kurdish, based
0:09:21 > 0:09:27inside Turkey. Already the fighting has forced an estimated 15,000
0:09:27 > 0:09:33people to leave their homes in search of safety. Many here
0:09:33 > 0:09:41traumatised by what they have witnessed. TRANSLATION:Everyone had
0:09:41 > 0:09:47fled from his village. The elderly being carried. It was terrifying. I
0:09:47 > 0:09:53fear the village has been destroyed. No one knows how long they could be
0:09:53 > 0:09:58stuck here. Turkey says the offensive will continue until it is
0:09:58 > 0:10:04completely uprooted the YPG fighters from the border regions.
0:10:04 > 0:10:12Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15In the US, more than 2000 people have been paying their respects
0:10:15 > 0:10:16to the world-famous evangelist Billy Graham.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19He died last week at the age of 99.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Both President Donald Trump and his deputy, Mike Pence,
0:10:21 > 0:10:24attended the funeral in Charlotte, North Carolina.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Protests have been taking place across Slovakia over the killing

0:10:47 > 0:10:48for their wedding.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50They'll be able to watch the couple arrive and depart.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13you that this will boil up? It worries me, yes. Everything will be
0:12:13 > 0:12:24all right in the end.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Welcome back.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29The British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has denied
0:12:29 > 0:12:32that she wants to cherry-pick the best bits of EU membership,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35in a major speech setting out her vision for a post-Brexit
0:12:35 > 0:12:38partnership with the bloc.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40President Trump has tweeted that trade wars can be good,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42because his country is losing billions of dollars
0:12:42 > 0:12:45in existing deals.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Mr Trump announced tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium
0:12:48 > 0:12:51to the US yesterday.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Immigration, independence referendums, populist politics
0:12:53 > 0:12:58and every day people questioning their place in the EU.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01We could be talking about any number of European countries but right now,
0:13:01 > 0:13:06the focus is on Italy with voters going to the polls this Sunday.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Numerous parties are running - but there are three main groupings.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11There are also some very familiar faces.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14On the centre-right Forza Italia is headed by a very familiar face,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21He can't become PM until 2019 because of a tax fraud conviction.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25But, depending on the results, he could very much be
0:13:25 > 0:13:29a kingmaker if it came down to forming a coalition.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32But his euro-sceptic coalition ally, Matteo Salvini leader of League
0:13:32 > 0:13:34has his own ambitions for the role.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The 5 Star Movement, led by 31-year old Luigi Di Maio,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40is one of Europe's biggest populist movements.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42And then on the centre-left, there's the governing
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Democratic Party led by the former Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Our Rome correspondent, James Reynolds, explains why
0:13:49 > 0:13:56predictions are difficult in Italy's elections.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00It is made all the more difficult by the fact that Italian laws says that
0:14:00 > 0:14:04for the two weeks before the election you cannot have an opinion
0:14:04 > 0:14:07polls so we can talk about the opinion polls but they may be out of
0:14:07 > 0:14:13date. Those last opinion polls taken two weeks ago suggested the
0:14:13 > 0:14:16centre-right coalition organised by Silvio Berlusconi might be the ones
0:14:16 > 0:14:19closest to the finishing line but they might fall short of that. Those
0:14:19 > 0:14:25polls also suggested that the Five Star Movement might be the biggest
0:14:25 > 0:14:29single political movement after the election but they have struggled to
0:14:29 > 0:14:34form alliances, essentially there are two things going on. Italians
0:14:34 > 0:14:38themselves vote on Sunday. Then the Italian politicians who have been
0:14:38 > 0:14:43elected will almost discuss among themselves who should take power.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47And when those discussions take place, there is no one better, with
0:14:47 > 0:14:51more experience, and Silvio Berlusconi?And it was fascinating
0:14:51 > 0:14:56to watch him at one of his final events in Rome. Organising and
0:14:56 > 0:14:59convening his coalition partners as if he had been doing this for years,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04as if he was the one pulling the strings. He cannot be King, the law
0:15:04 > 0:15:08says anyone with a major conviction cannot take part in public office.
0:15:08 > 0:15:14But he can be the kingmaker. That will depend on the numbers that come
0:15:14 > 0:15:17out of Sunday. If the centre-right coalition does well, it might be
0:15:17 > 0:15:22that he looks to build the government without coalition, it may
0:15:22 > 0:15:26be at Forza Italia tries to break away to form a grand coalition with
0:15:26 > 0:15:31the centre-left and maybe five star gets close. So many may bes because
0:15:31 > 0:15:37this is how politics you usually works.In terms of the issues, what
0:15:37 > 0:15:42is the main theme going through? Immigration must be one of those?I
0:15:42 > 0:15:49will pick the other... Unemployment. Going with yours, immigration has
0:15:49 > 0:15:52become the key issue of this campaign, in recent years more than
0:15:52 > 0:15:57600,000 migrants have landed on these shores from the Mediterranean,
0:15:57 > 0:16:00not all of them have stayed but the fact they have landed has changed
0:16:00 > 0:16:04the way this country's debate happens. The centre-right says
0:16:04 > 0:16:07anyone who has come here illegally should be deported. It appears they
0:16:07 > 0:16:13have one strength in that. The other issue is unemployment. Youth
0:16:13 > 0:16:18unemployment in Italy is routinely around 40% and there is a vast pool
0:16:18 > 0:16:21of people who feel that Italy is not listening to them. Those younger
0:16:21 > 0:16:27people. It may be laid aside the Five Star Movement, and
0:16:27 > 0:16:32antiestablishment movement, is their natural home.James Reynolds

0:18:07 > 0:18:08A collision seems inevitable.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09No, no, no, no!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11That it didn't happen is thanks to the quick
0:18:12 > 0:18:14reactions of the bus driver.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18To me, it looks worse on the video then I felt at the time.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I did get a fright, but I managed to avoid it,
0:18:20 > 0:18:26luckily, and then I got on with my job after that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I totally forgot all about it and my husband asked me if he had
0:18:29 > 0:18:31seen this video when I got home.
0:18:31 > 0:18:37He didn't know it was me at the time.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Born in Balgedie in Fife, midwives made it to help
0:18:40 > 0:18:42with a delivery and villages cleared roads to get the baby
0:18:42 > 0:18:46safely to hospital.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Across the UK people have refused to let the weather get in their way.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53This paramedic is part of a cycle response team
0:18:53 > 0:18:57for the London Ambulance Service.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00And stranded drivers on the A1 in Northumberland were treated
0:19:00 > 0:19:03to cream cakes and muffins, by a fellow motorist happen to be
0:19:03 > 0:19:07a delivery driver for Greggs.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13This businessman paid for 12 hotel rooms he offered to homeless people.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16You can't expect people to be out in that, it's
0:19:16 > 0:19:19life-threatening conditions, I thought, for the sake of £22 it
0:19:20 > 0:19:22get's peple off the streets.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Lewis Hine, a patient at Great Ormond Street Hospital
0:19:24 > 0:19:27tweeted his heartfelt thanks to the staff who made him

0:19:36 > 0:19:40the BBC's Concert Orchestra offered their services as a wedding
0:19:40 > 0:19:43gift to fellow hotel guests on their big day.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45When they started, it took your breath away.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Oh, yeah, totally unexpected.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Amid freezing temperatures, the warmth of human
0:19:52 > 0:19:59kindness has resonated.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08What a great end to the package. That is turn away from the weather
0:20:08 > 0:20:14and get the sports news. Lizzy is here. Great Britain's Katarina
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Johnson-Thompson has won her first world title, taking gold in the
0:20:18 > 0:20:21pentathlon in front of the home crowd at the world Indoor
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Championships in Birmingham. Feeling by 33 points going into the final
0:20:25 > 0:20:29event, the 800 metres, she had two seconds in hand over her nearest
0:20:29 > 0:20:34rival. She did not need that, comfortably finishing first.I
0:20:34 > 0:20:41cannot believe it. To come here and do this in my hometown is something
0:20:41 > 0:20:47I dreamt of doing. All my family are here today. I went through a hard
0:20:47 > 0:20:51year last year towards the end of the year and I wanted my family to
0:20:51 > 0:20:54see me actually achieve something so I am so happy they were here to
0:20:54 > 0:20:59witness it. Every event. It is just something that I still cannot
0:20:59 > 0:21:08believe, really.Meanwhile, in the men's long jump, Cuba had the
0:21:08 > 0:21:14longest jump to take gold, the best jump of the 19-year-old 's career so
0:21:14 > 0:21:17far added eight metres 46 it was one of the best indoor long jumps in
0:21:17 > 0:21:22history. Kristin Wilde has claimed gold after a dramatic day in the
0:21:22 > 0:21:28women's omnium. Elinor Barker was one of several riders caught up in
0:21:28 > 0:21:32this crash during the elimination part of the event, she got back on
0:21:32 > 0:21:36her bike and was in bronze position heading into the final event. But
0:21:36 > 0:21:40she could not manage to hold on, finishing in sixth place overall,
0:21:40 > 0:21:46nine points from the middle. Wild claims referred for the Netherlands.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50The first medal of the day was won by Cameron Meyer from Australia,
0:21:50 > 0:21:53defending his title in the points race, winning by some distance to
0:21:53 > 0:21:59take his ninth world title. The home rider took silver with Britain's
0:21:59 > 0:22:04Mark Stewart completing the podium. Real Madrid's Luka Modric has been
0:22:04 > 0:22:08charged with perjury in his native country, Croatia. It relates to the
0:22:08 > 0:22:11midfielder making statements that the tax fraud trial of his former
0:22:11 > 0:22:16manager. , did say he made a full statement in June last year over
0:22:16 > 0:22:23details of his transfer from Dynamo Kyiv to Spurs in 2008, and found
0:22:23 > 0:22:30guilty he could face up five years in prison. Boxing's WBC heavyweight
0:22:30 > 0:22:33champion says he could beat anybody at any time ahead of his title
0:22:33 > 0:22:41defence on Saturday. Wilder is much lighter than his opponent, as we
0:22:41 > 0:22:46reported from New York. All the talking is done, both fighters made
0:22:46 > 0:22:51way to the next time when they see each other, to settle their
0:22:51 > 0:22:54differences at the Berkeley centre. Deontay Wilder looked more muscular
0:22:54 > 0:23:00and athletic but Luis Ortiz has never been athletic but he is very
0:23:00 > 0:23:03gifted, he is a southpaw and unbeaten professionally. It is
0:23:03 > 0:23:07called the biggest test of Wilder's career. He said onstage that he is
0:23:07 > 0:23:12coming in lighter but the wait will mean nothing, he would rather be the
0:23:12 > 0:23:17part and look the part and there is a lot riding on this for Wilder,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21victory could secure a unification fight against Anthony Joshua, the
0:23:21 > 0:23:25biggest name at the moment. England was by Jonny Bairstow says he has no
0:23:25 > 0:23:31plans to follow his one-day team-mates into playing solely
0:23:31 > 0:23:35limited overs cricket. England face New Zealand in the third match of
0:23:35 > 0:23:38their one-day series in just under four hours and Bairstow says he
0:23:38 > 0:23:42wants to stay in the test side as well.It is very much a personal
0:23:42 > 0:23:47opinion, a personal decision. I will not be playing solely white ball
0:23:47 > 0:23:54cricket. For a long time. As I say, it is an individual thing that
0:23:54 > 0:23:58people have got to weigh up within themselves.And that is all the
0:23:58 > 0:24:01sport for now. Thank you.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Now to those who are definitely more at home in the snow -
0:24:05 > 0:24:07a colony of more than 1.5 million penguins has been discovered off
0:24:07 > 0:24:09the Antarctic Peninsula.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12With little human activity on the Danger Islands,
0:24:12 > 0:24:18a so-called super-colony of Adelie penguins is thriving.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Our science correspondent Victoria Gill has more.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21A bird's eye view of a seabird super colony.
0:24:21 > 0:24:251.5 million Adelie penguins are nesting here on the aptly
0:24:25 > 0:24:27named Danger Islands, just east of the
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Antarctic Peninsula.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Satellite images captured almost four years ago had indicated that
0:24:34 > 0:24:36a large colony might be here.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39But it was only when a team of British and US scientists mounted
0:24:39 > 0:24:41an expedition to the remote, rocky islands that they
0:24:41 > 0:24:46were able to carry out at detailed penguin census.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Painstaking headcounts, along with aerial photography,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53revealed the scale of this wildlife haven.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55I joined the same researchers in Antarctica in 2016 and captured
0:24:55 > 0:24:59just a snapshot of their decade of wildlife monitoring
0:24:59 > 0:25:01in this frozen landscape.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Work like this on the ground in the Antarctic has revealed that
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Adelie penguins on the west of the peninsular are in decline,
0:25:07 > 0:25:12so this discovery just 100 miles away provides a vital clue
0:25:12 > 0:25:16about a site that could be a refuge for the birds.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20And it might need more protection from human activities like fishing.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23One key to this island's vast stable colony, researchers
0:25:23 > 0:25:26say, is its sea ice.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29As well as being a vital breeding ground for the crustaceans,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32or krill, that penguins rely on it makes access to the island difficult
0:25:33 > 0:25:35for fisheries and shipping.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37There's already proposal to make the Weddell Sea
0:25:37 > 0:25:41around the Danger Islands a marine protected area.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Views like this show just what that could preserve.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Victoria Gill, BBC News.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55A positive note to end the programme on. We are on social media and there
0:25:55 > 0:26:00is lots more online. Goodbye.
