Tensions between israel and syria have intensified after israeli fighter planes launched bombing raids across the border following the shooting down of one of its jets. Israel says its been targetting iranian positions on syrian territory used to fly drones over israeli airspace. Our middle east correspondent tom bateman reports. What was left on israeli soil of one of the countrys most advanced fighter jets. It crashed after its two pilots ejected, said israel, amid syrian anti aircraft fire. One pilot was left severely injured. Israel said it scrambled the planes in response to this, a drone allegedly sent by Iranian Forces in syria into israeli airspace. It was destroyed. Israel then hit the site it said the drone had come from, before further strikes against what it called iranian targets in syria. Ive been warning for some time about the dangers of irans military entrenchment in syria. Iran seeks to use syrian territory to attack israel for its professed goal of destroying israel. Israel is wary about the threat across its northern border, with the syrian regime, backed by iran and its proxies like these hezbollah fighters, back in control of much territory. Syrias conflict has drawn in her neighbours. There have been dozens of israeli air strikes in syria in recent years. In december, israel hit what it said was a newly built Iranian Military site. As recently as this week, a suspected chemical weapons factory was targeted. Iran has accused israel of lies, claiming it has only military advisers in syria. Israel says it doesnt want an escalation in syria, but in a highly volatile atmosphere, where any of the players is capable of miscalculation, there remains open the distinct possibility of precisely that.

President trump has spoken out about his decision to block the release of a classified Democratic Party memo over the fbis russia probe. The memo rebutted claims there was anti trump bias in the fbis investigation of russian meddling in the us president ial election. Mr trump has tweeted that the document was very political and long and would have to be heavily redacted before it could be released. Earlier i spoke to our correspondent in washington, david willis, who told me more about the two memos. Last week President Trump signed off on the release of a republican memo detailing what it alleged were surveillance abuses on the part of the fbi involving a former Trump Campaign aid, a man called carter page, back in 2016. Both the fbi and Justice Department advised against the release of that memo, but President Trump did so anyway. Then the democrats got there a bottle memo together and it went to ten pages, significantly longer than the republican memo. The fbi and Justice Department again advised against it being released but this time the president decided to back their recommendations. Now, the president isa recommendations. Now, the president is a republican of course, democrats are crying foul, they say its a double standard, they say this is all evidence of the fact that they, in their view, donald trump has something to hide. Meanwhile the president himself, as you mentioned, tweeted today basically saying the democrats knew that large parts of their memo would have to be heavily redacted, thus by submitting it to the white house they set the white house and the president up for claims of lack of transparency. Haitis ambassador to the uk has told the bbc he believes 0xfam did try to cover up details of the use of prostitutes by some of its aid workers in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. 0xfams chief executive said the charity could have been more open about its investigation, but insisted there was no cover up. Angus crawford reports. It was an earthquake that devastated haiti, killing more than 200,000 people, affecting millions more. Aid agencies from around the world stepped into the chaos. 0xfam, with more than 70 years experience, had hundreds of staff in the field. But an investigation by the times found that in 2011, four Staff Members were sacked and three others resigned over allegations of misconduct, including paying local women for sex. The ngo says it launched an investigation and kept the Charity Commission fully informed, something the commission now disputes. 0xfams leadership denies theres been a cover up. 0xfam was actually proactive in going to the british public, the department for international development, and the Charity Commission, to explain that there had been serious misconduct and wed taken action. More than £30 million of taxpayers money is given to oxfam by the government every year. Today, downing street called the allegations truly shocking and demanded a full and urgent investigation. Today, fresh claims, some of the disgraced staff gotjobs at other aid agencies because 0xfam failed to warn them about the misconduct. It is clear its a cover up case. The fact that those folks were allowed to leave the country without any punishment, without even informing the haitian authorities about that. It was a cover up. Now the fact that they did such a crime, or there was such a cover up, now we are wondering how many of those cases are still happening in haiti. We dont know. The haitian authorities want 0xfam to hand over all relevant documents so justice can be served there. The behaviour of a few has stained the charitys past reputation and now threatens its work in the future. Angus crawford, bbc news.

Britains foreign secretary, boris johnson, is in bangladesh where hes been meeting rohingya refugees, who escaped violence in neighbouring myanmar. Nearly 700,000 people have been forced to leave their homes after a military crackdown began six months ago. Rita chakrabarti reports. Cries of welcome to a guest from a people who have been kicked out of their home. Were going to try and get you back home, guys. Borisjohnson came to see and hear himself from the victims of this huge man made disaster. He heard story after story of arson, rape and murder. Committed, say the rohingya victims, by the military and buddhist mobs in myanmar. Im very sorry. What do you think of what youve heard so far . Well, its overwhelming and obviously these people have seen some pretty horrifying things and youre very conscious when talking to them, the young people, you dont want to trigger terrible memories for them. It was very clear with the case of the guy whod only narrowly escaped and whod almost lost his daughter, whod been beaten, and had to ransom his daughter back, and who kept breaking down in tears. The people that borisjohnson is meeting here are all in limbo. Bangladesh doesnt want them here permanently but they cant go back to myanmar without guarantees of safety. So what can britain do to help . Its about finding a political solution, finding an answer in myanmar, from burma, creating the conditions for a safe, dignified return for these people. Thats what they want. They do want to go back but they dont feel safe. Thats the message the foreign secretary is taking to myanmar, where he landed tonight. He admits a safe return for the rohingya presently looks unrealistic. Its a very tough diplomatic battle he has to fight. Reeta chakrabarti, bbc news, on the bangladesh myanmar border.

The us Vice President , mike pence, says washington and seoul are in complete agreement on the need to isolate north korea until it abandons its Nuclear Missile programme. Hes been speaking on his way home from the winter olympics. It comes after north korea invited the south korean president to attend a summit in pyongyang. If it happens, it would be only the third time that leaders of the two countries have met. And it would be watched with keen interest from washington. Earlier, i spoke to evans revere, senior fellow at the brookings institute. He told me what the us position is likely to be. Iam not i am not so sure washington will be opposed to the notion of a meeting, but i think washington will be quite sensitive to the conditions under which that meeting takes place. There are lots of contradictions and complexities here. I think the president has a difficult road ahead, primarily because there is an expectation in washington that if a summit were to take place, that front and centre would be the nuclear issue, and that, of course, is something that is strongly opposed by north korea, which has thus far refused to discuss the issue with south korea. The first point of orderfor issue with south korea. The first point of order for president moon will be how to deal with this issue. 0therwise will be how to deal with this issue. Otherwise they will fall away from the summit. Would it be wise to not be overoptimistic about the shaking of hands . Should we not get optimistic. We have been down this road before.

And it was argentinian striker Sergio Aguero who did the damage, scoring four of his sides five goals in the victory after Raheem Sterling had given them an early lead. Aguero has now scored 13 goals in ten games in 2018. Sergio is such a talent in the box. We tried to create a lot of chances to give them the opportunity to score the goals. He is always there. Congratulations. Its not easy to score four goals. Harry kane pushed his team up over arsenal. His 23rd goal of the season. Arsenal. His 23rd goal of the season.

But they do get a losing bonus point for being within seven points of england. Ireland beat italy 56 19 in dublin. The home side ran in eight tries in their bonus point victory. Italy improved in the second half, after ireland made a lot of changes and scored three tries. 0ne short of that four try bonus point, however.
