Its christmas time lets come together for food aid. This is ladbaby� s fifth christmas number one the fab four only had four and celebrations have begun. Wheres the fifth one .

That is what is so special about what weve been doing. Charity wins Colin Paterson, bbc news, nottingham. Now on bbc news return of the tigers. Tigers are making a remarkable comeback here in nepal. Their numbers more than doubling in the last ten years. Tigers are the majestic creatures. Being assigned in the protection duties, its an honour, you know, its a privilege. Its a small victory in a battle to bring them back from the brink of extinction. It is definitely something to be celebrated. It does not come without the cost. The common area that the tiger and prey species and humanity shares is so tight, the Community Lives in terror. There has been an increase in Tiger Attacks on humans. More number of tigers and more number of people, definitely there is going to be conflict. So, it is going to be a challenging job for us to, you know, maintain peace between two species. Chanting private Pinky Adhikari has been newly stationed at Bardiya National park in western nepal. Herjob here is to protect the parks endangered elephants, rhinos and tigers. After morning exercise, her unit heads off on patrol. Weve been given rare access to go with them. One of the key factors of nepals success has been strong enforcement against poaching and thats involved the military. Armed units like this one patrol across the park daily. Her units captain is ayushjung bahadur rana. Tigers are the majestic creatures. There are two types of feeling when you come in head to head with them. It is oh my god, what a majestic creature is that and the otherfeeling is oh my god, am i dead . So, thats the type of feeling you get when you encounter when you encounter a tiger. So, being assigned in the protection duties, its an honour. Its a privilege to be part of something that is really big, you know. So, what are you looking for on this patrol . I mean, like, were looking for any illegal encroachment of people or domestic animals. These are the basic things that we look at while were do you have the power to shoot . 0nly only if we have any life threatening encounters with the wild animals or it is the poachers. But that is the last resort. That is the last thing we would want to do. Just outside the National Park, indigenous leader bhadai tharu patrols his community forest. Its part of a key corridor that allows tigers to move between protected areas in nepal and neighbouring india. This used to be a grazing area for cattle but was reforested by bhadais community. He was cutting grass here in the forest with over 100 other people when a tiger attacked. He lost his left eye. He sings this whole area used to be a royal hunting ground. Newsreel this is a land whose people have always lived underl the menace of marauding tigers. When Queen Elizabeth visited the country in 1961, she took part in a tiger hunt. Newsreel and, yes, there was a tiger. King mahendra had fulfilled a time honoured obligation of a host in nepal and provided the royal party with a tiger to shoot. But there was more hunting to come. The next prey was a rhino. The rhino was also killed. Hunting, poaching, and habitat loss has pushed tigers towards extinction. And that was the end of another animal. Since the beginning of the 20th century, their numbers globally have dropped by more than 95 . But here in nepal there are signs of a remarkable recovery. The rangers are taking part in a nationwide tiger census. Over 800 camera pairs have been hidden across the park. You just installed this camera. How long will you keep it here for . So you are going to be having over 1,000 hours of footage look at . And when youre analysing the footage, how do you make sure that your count is accurate . With fewer than 4,000 wild tigers left in the world, every tiger counts. The census results show that Tiger Numbers here in nepal have more than doubled in the last ten years. The area where tigers were once hunted is now being managed so that they can recover and thrive. This grassland is cut and burnt and theres Man Made Waterholes here. Its to attract the deer, the tigers main prey. Before this area became a National Park there was a village here. Bishnu shrestra is the chief warden of Bardiya National park. Its a better environment for tigers. Yes, yes. More spaces, more Tiger Numbers. And youre also looking at Water Sources, increasing Water Sources on the National Park. Yes. Until now we have created 180 water ponds here. 50 water pond is with solar. Is there a chance that with these interventions that youre pushing the Tiger Population beyond whats sustainable for the size of the park . No. We are creating many water pond and grassland, particularly for the prey species and the tiger. We have sufficient space and prey density in the park, so we are managing the tigers in a sustainable way. That evening, we see signs of the return of the tiger, close to where were sleeping. Just behind our camp, fresh Tiger Footprints have been found in the sand here. We think they are from an adult female tiger. We saw a lot of deer last night on the grassland and theres water here, so the footprints in the sand here lead all the way to the water. This camp is run by conservationist manoj gautam. It is definitely something to be celebrated. It does not come without a cost. And it has been costing the lives of people and so much more. The common area that the tigers and prey species and humanity shares is so tight. We head out into the villages just outside the parks boundaries, into the communities that live with the tigers. Here in these villages, the lives of humans and tigers are intertwined. Some in the Community Live off the Tourism Industry thats built around the park. Others have to take the risk of entering the jungle for their livelihood. Samjhana lost her Mother In Law in a tiger attack last year. She was deep inside the National Park, cutting grass for their cow. Samjhana heard the story from those who were there. The government pays around us 8,000 in compensation to Tiger Victims families. But because samjhanas Mother In Law was inside the National Park, she has been told she doesnt qualify for it. She is still fighting for some kind of financial help to put towards her boys education. This is the tiger that is believed to have killed her Mother In Law and two other people, now behind bars in kathmandu zoo. Right now, the National Park is actively trying to increase the Tiger Population. How do you feel about that . Protests broke out injune after a leopard attacked villagers, a week after a woman was killed by a tiger, the community demanding authorities do more to protect them. The protests turned violent. Police opened fire on the crowd, killing an 18 Year Old Girl and injuring others, sparking further outrage. The Community Lives in terror. So, there is a price that the community has paid for the world to rejoice with the news that nepal has successfully doubled its Tiger Numbers. When a tiger kills a human, authorities track them down and take them captive. 16 people have been killed by a tiger in nepal in the last 12 months. One of the tigers now in captivity is being held behind the chief warden� s office. This tiger killed one human in the last year in the rajipur area, so we captured and kept in this Tiger Holding cage. How do you know its the right tiger . We closely monitor through camera in the incident area, after identification, we captured and put it in holding cage. Do you do that because there is pressure from the community . Or is there a real threat that once a tiger has killed a human, that they will attack again . There is a chance to attack the human again, by the tiger, if the tiger killed one person previously. So, this tiger has been here for one year now, you can see its not happy about being in captivity. What is the Long Term Plan for this tiger . We have ordered a Satellite Collar for this tiger. After consultation with our department we will do something regarding his release. Bhadai tharu calls a meeting of his Community Protection unit. This is a generation that will have to navigate the return of the tigers. Susila, who is also part of the Community Protection unit, runs this after school class. Susila also worked as a tour guide in the National Park. You have to see tigers in the wild to fully appreciate them, she says. So, we head back into the park together. Im looking for tiger and leopard, this is the track that they will come to the river to drink. And sometimes we get also elephant. Susila takes us to a spot near the river. And after hours of waiting, a tiger suddenly appears. It is magnificent to see a male tiger walking along here, one of over 100 tigers now here in Bardiya National park, part of a growing Tiger Population here in nepal. It is definitely something to be celebrated, because as we know everywhere around the world, the conservation stories that we often get to read are loudly depressing, and the number of species we are losing on a daily basis, the habitat loss that we see every day. And nepal brings a freshness to the arena of conservation. Music and chanting. They have participated in this, they have rejoiced in the success as well, and they are paying with their lives and terror, and that i think needs to be acknowledged more. Because if it is not acknowledged, the world cannot come together to find a solution for that. Despite what happened to her Mother In Law, samjhana continues to risk entering the National Park. For the soldiers, the challenge is to keep the peace. We are the mediators, so its our duty to bring peace between two species. And so its the both i would say the protection of the tiger is our responsibility, but at the same time protection of civilians is also our main responsibility. Hello. It looks as if for most it will stay mild in the run up to christmas, but there is the hint of some colder air returning. The reason is because weve got these mild South Westerly Winds at the moment. This is the band of rain, the Weather Front, that swept right the way across the uk during friday, giving 10 15mm of rain, turning to snow over the Scottish Highlands and grampians, even at lower levels temporarily in the north. Showers elsewhere, but largely frost free away from the chilliness in the north. So not particularly cold to start, but perhaps one or two mist and fog patches to watch out for first thing this morning. But then a lot of dry and bright weather for england and wales. The showers get going quite quickly across northern ireland, pushing into Northern England and other western extremities. 0ur Rain Band with its hill snow slow to drag away, and it will stay in the cold air up in shetland all day. A lot of cloud behind, but temperatures will be higher, notably, for scotland than they were on friday. And its mild across, not as windy. Then, through the evening and overnight, those showers push their way gradually eastwards, and then just the hint that a north westerly returns to the north and west of scotland. So again, not particularly cold as we head into Christmas Day morning just local frost, really. And quite a bit of showery Weather Round through the day, some brightness around, but theres a Question Mark as to a Weather Front coming up to the south which might give cloudy, wet conditions later on across southern and eastern areas. Then weve got those showers across the north, probably brightening up with some sunshine behind. But thats when it turns chillier with the chance of some wintriness, as you can see. Temperatures still for most at 8 12 degrees on the higher side of normal. But, as i say, there is the chance that we could see the definition of a White Christmas snow falling across the north and west in the showers as we go through the second part of the day. And thats because the Cold Arctic Air is coming back, and it might well push right the way across the uk as we go into boxing day. But it will be a short lived chilly spell and it doesnt mean snow for all. Weve still got, as i say, that Question Mark over rain later on Christmas Day in the south, dragging its heels to clear on the south east on boxing day and then a wintry mix of showers, with hail, sleet, hill snow mostly. Temperatures, though, 4 8 degrees celsius. Thats a few degrees down on those of Christmas Day. But as i say, it does look like a short lived cold snap because the mild atlantic influence returns, looks like with wet and windy weather on the way. The warnings, as ever, are on the website.
