Secretary kerry i would encourage him to engage with russia and find that Common Ground but not at the expense of rolling over and losing the values or principles or interests. Katty and recreating the sounds of stonehenge using Virtual Reality. It is possible not only to see what it was like 4000 years ago, but to hear it as well. Katty welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america and around the globe. There were chaotic scenes at Fort Lauderdale International Airport as a man opened fire in the baggage claim area. Killing five people and injuring 8 more. Floridas senator has named the suspect as esteban santiago, who is in custody. His brother says he received psychological treatment in alaska and served in the national guard. James cook has more. Cask at aone dane busy airport has turned into a singapore. Passengers were collecting their bags and now cap on the ground. Some appear stunned. Others were dead or dying. Survivors say they were desperate attempts to save lives. We heard the noise. We thought it was firecrackers. And we saw looked him with a gun going up and down. Down, i wasthe gun about 10 feet away from him. He basically threw the gun on the ground and was face down, spread eagle. James for hundreds of people who fled the airport, the trevor was not over. Terror was not over. Rumors of another gunman sent people running from the terminal. Been this time there has no shooting at any place else but the downstairs terminal. We have the shooter in custody. He is unharmed. No Law Enforcement fired any shots. The subject is being interviewed by a team of fbi agents and the sheriffs office, homicide detectives. Is reporteduspect to have flown into Fort Lauderdale with a weapon checked into his luggage, apparently legally. Senior u. S. Politician said the man in custody was carrying a military id card and the name of esteban santiago. Senator nelson the shooter is in custody, according to tsa. As we get the information, we will pass it on to you. James at the airport was secured, the focus is turning to the investigation. Motive is not yet clear but terrorism has not been ruled out. In the United States, those pictures have a terrible familiarity. James cook, bbc news. Katty for more on the attack and the investigation underway, i spoke a short time ago with an fbi agent. What do you you make of this when you hear the initial reports . I think what we have here is another attack on a soft target, similar to what we saw in belgium and what we have seen the last 20 or 30 years of attacks at airports. Right now it is chaotic, and people are sending out tweets and getting on facebook and that creates a lot of confusion. The investigators i know, with him in custody, one of the only positive things that came out of this, well get to the bottom of who this individual is pretty quickly. Katty why was he able to have a gun at an airport . Arent airports meant to be secure facilities in the United States . That is correct, but the first reports, as you just said, were totally unconfirmed that he got off the plane. Had it in his checked baggage. If that is the case, the way the situation is, you can check your baggage with an unloaded weapon. If, again, that is not the case we dont know yet, but just the fact that anybody could walk in off the street in that area, ticketed area, nothing is set up, nor will there be effectively, to stop that. That creates other soft targets for example, triaging people in another area, create another area while people wait that could be a soft target for attack. There is no clear way to handle that. Katty put your fbi hat on. In the minds of investigators, what are you looking for . What are the first things you are trying to do . The first thing they were doing is definitely the First Responders did what they had to do. You could have a Police Officer standing 10 yards from and when this started and somebody trained could go through a lot and do a lot of havoc in 10 seconds in killing people. The First Responders did what they had to do and got this individual. Now the investigation will begin. They will do everything they can , especially since he is alive and in custody, to put timelines together. Get to his phones, find his address, search warrants, looking at computers. They will tear this persons background apart and it will be pretty quickly, i believe in the next 24 hours, with a lot of questions answered and things like that. Katty we obviously living in the age we live in, our minds go to the question of organized terrorism. Does this look to you like some form of organized terrorist activity . I wouldnt call it organized at this point. What we have seen historically in this country and other places somebody i hate the term lone wolf, but somebody acting on their own. Lets say hypothetically if this is isis, isis will claim responsibility. The way they do it is the situation of telling everybody go do what you can do when you can do it and kill as many people as you can. It is not like somebodys picking up the telephone and calling this individual and saying now go and do this. We will get you your guns that is pretty organized. The issue of the lone wolf that is self radicalized, which could be the case, but again, we have to wait, even though people say it is obviously terrorism i with my fbi hat on says lets take a breath and wait and see. Organized is a strong word. This isnt Something Like a 9 11 attack. I believe this is an individual acting by themselves and that is what the investigation will try to show and make sure that is the case. Katty and that investigation continuing. Donald trump, by the way, tweeted that he was monitoring the situation in florida and had spoken to the governor down there. The president elect has also spent part of his day getting briefed by the Intelligence Community. They made public on friday some of their findings on russias alleged hacking of the u. S. Election, including Vladimir Putin ordering a campaign to influence the election, that moscow had a clear preference for mr. Trump. Nick bryant has more. Nick american intelligence tonight released its explosive report claiming that Vladimir Putin ordered an influence campaign to help donald trump s chances of winning the presidency by denigrating Hillary Clinton and harming her electability. It concludes the kremlin had a clear preference for the billionaire. Donald trump today described the investigation as a political witch hunt. He has rubbished the notion that he achieved a kremlinassisted victory. U. S. Intelligence claims it was not just the billionaire who celebrated his unexpected success on election night. Intercepted conversations reportedly picked up senior figures in the russian government rejoicing, too. Among them, officials said to be aware of the alleged cyber campaign. Trump was given a briefing by top intelligence officials who claimed the russians tried harder to Hack Computers of the Democratic National committee than those of republican headquarters, and that gobetweens allegedly delivered stolen emails to the wikileaks website to help him move from his penthouse in manhattan to the white house. Never before has the president elect been so utterly scornful of americas spies, so disparaging about their work. The trump team says he is right to be cautious, not least because the Intelligence Community has gotten it wrong s weapons ofiraq plu mass destruction. In a statement after the meeting, trump said russia, china, other outside groups are consistently trying to break through the Cyber Infrastructure of our governmental institutions and organizations including the Democratic National committee. But he added, there was absolutely no effect on the outcome of the election. Tellingly, he did not single out russia for blame. Vice President Joe Biden has told him to accept the intelligence findings pointing the finger at the kremlin. Vice President Biden the idea that you know more than the Intelligence Community knows is a little like saying i know more about physics than my professor. I didnt read the book. I just know i know more. Grow up. Time to be an adult. You are president. Nick relations between president obama and president putin have had a cold war chill, and donald trump has signaled warmer ties. Speaking to the bbc today, the outgoing secretary of state, john kerry, delivered this advice. Secretary kerry i would encourage him to engage with russia and find the Common Ground, but not at the expense of rolling over and losing the values and principles or interests that we need to protect. Nick donald trump tonight expressed tremendous respect for americas spies, but he still clearly believes the allegations of a kremlin conspiracy are being used to delegitimize his presidency. Nick bryant, bbc news, new york. Katty you heard secretary kerry in nicks report and that was part of an interview i did today at the state department. I asked the outgoing american diplomat about hacking scandals and other topics from his tenure. Just this morning donald trump said in an interview that he thinks the focus on the russian hacking of the u. S. Election is a witchhunt. What do you make of that . Secretary kerry i will not get into the daytoday back and forth. What i know is that we have an extraordinarily professional Intelligence Community, men and women who work every day to give us information, patriots and hard workers. Some of them sometimes in many different ways are doing things in places of great risk in order that we can be informed and make decisions. I think dni clapper could have spoken more clearly about it. He said that healthy skepticism is a good thing. Disparagement is not. He felt it fell on the side of disparagement. I think he has spoken for this administration and i will leave it at that. Katty are you concerned by the appearance that mr. Trump is siding with Vladimir Putin over american intelligence agencies . Secretary kerry at this point, honestly, my job is not to get involved with the daytoday back and forth politics of the moment. Ive spoken to my faith in dni clapper and the Intel Community on this particular issue. I sometimes have healthy skepticism about one issue or another. We ask questions, that is our job. But i think the American People have to make their own judgments about this back and forth. Katty we have already seen some ripples from the new trump era even in britain, when teresa may criticized your speech on israel. I have american politics for 20 years, ive never heard a british Prime Minister be quite so critical of an American Foreign secretary. Herselfjust aligning with donald trump, do you think . Secretary kerry you and others will have to speculate on that. What i know is what i expressed in the speech has been the policy of Great Britain for a long period of time. Britain is, i believe, because britain voted for and supported the resolution that criticized the increased settlements in the west bank, and what we did in my speech was lay out a formula for how you can make peace and move forward. I stand by it. I believe the speech was honest. I think it was very much spoken as a friend of israel. But also as a friend of the region who recognizes that it is heading in a very dangerous direction if we dont resolve this problem. Katty so were you surprised by Prime Minister mays reaction . Secretary kerry an honest answer is yes, but im not going to get into the back and forth about it. We move on. Katty let me ask you about syria. Do you feel the Obama Administration bears any responsibility for the situation in syria, which deteriorated markedly during your time as secretary of state . Secretary kerry going back and making judgments two weeks before we leave about things that might have been done differently or choices that might have been made is not serving any purpose of this time. There is plenty of time for that in the future. Do i think i have said this before that it was very, very important for the United States to try to help the opposition and give them an ability we did a lot of that. Historians will have to judge whether enough was done or not. What i do know is that the United States has been the leading initiator of any number of efforts to try to get ceasefires, to try to encourage a political resolution. We led the effort to put the International Syria support group together. We got an agreement, including from the iranians and russians, as to the broad framework of a resolution on syria. We got an agreement on the principles we ought to be organizing our efforts around, a united syria, one that is democratic and has an election, that protects minorities, that has transitional process. We agreed on all those things. So we made a lot of progress. Where we werent able to agree on was how to separate the opposition that we supported from the more violent extremists of alnusra, etc. , and russia had one attitude about how you do that, and we had another. And that was a point of disagreement. Katty theres nothing you wish had been done differently . Secretary kerry yes, there are things i wished, and it has been common knowledge, and some people have ventured to write about that, but i will not get into those discussions two weeks before we leave. There are things we can be very proud of that we have done. We have empowered people to be able to fight their fights. And we faced a very complicated set of choices on the ground with respect to the terrorism of daesh and the choices of some of the extremists, and i might add, the choices of some of the proxy nations that were consistently pushing agendas that were not exactly in keeping with what had been agreed on in the International Syria support group. Katty mr. Kerry, thank you very much. Secretary kerry happy to be with you. Thank you. Katty you are watching bbc world news america. A medicalome, advancement possible by 3d printing. We will show you how patients are living new lives thanks to this technology. Scientists say a giant iceberg 50 times the size of Manhattan Island is ready to break off from an ice shelf in antarctica. Stretching for around 100 miles in length. The rift has grown rapidly in recent weeks. 12 miles of frozen material is keeping his enormous iceberg from drifting away into the sea. Collapsing ice shelves are not uncommon in antarctica. As these pictures show, the fragmentations can dramatically affect the landscape, creating icebergs of all shapes and sizes. British researchers have discovered a dramatic expansion took place in just two weeks in december. What we have found is that the rift in the ice shelf has broken through another 18 kilometers and is giving birth to an iceberg about a quarter of the size of wales. The significance is it is a very large iceberg that will go out in the open ocean but also the remaining ice shelf will be less stable. Reporter when large icebergs break off the edge of an ice shelf like in 2002, it can have a dramatic effect on the stability of the entire structure. Most of the remaining shelf disintegrated in less than a month. Experts at the British Antarctic survey are worried that any new iceberg formation could have longterm consequences. When the ice shelf loses this ice, it may then start to collapse. If that were to occur, it could contribute more to Sea Level Rise over the next few decades. Reporter the new iceberg will be one of the biggest ever recorded, about 50 times the size of Manhattan Island. Despite concerns about the impacts of global warming, researchers say they have no evidence that Climate Change is playing any significant role in its formation. The rise of 3d printing has had a profound impact on lots of tasks, and no surgery is one of them. Doctors are calling the technology a revolution in the field. Here is one patients extraordinary story. Reporter george was a cyclist when in 2011 he had an accident which tore his life and face apart. I was out for a training spin. I slammed into a piece of machinery around a corner. Not a good idea to hit something with your chin at 30 miles an hour, which is exactly what i did. It ripped the whole of my jaw off. Reporter doctors used bone from his shoulder with a titanium metal plate to rebuild his jaw. But two issues remained. He didnt have any bottom teeth, and his new mouth was tiny. Very difficult to speak when the opening of the mouth is the size of a walnut. Reporter at this center in north london, the doctor and her team entered his ct scan into a 3d printer. This is basically an oven filled with nitrogen and powdered nylon. It is already at a very hot temperature, but when the laser hits the nylon, it pushes it to the point it melts. Here they are making in engineering part layer by layer, and in the cooling station, 3d printing of georges jaw. Pretty exciting time for surgery. Georges doctor says 3d printing has revolutionized facial surgery. We use it to plan the operation. We use it to actually design exactly what we are going to take. It has done so much for us. Reporter apart from planning the operation, georges doctors also use the model to make teeth implants perfectly fitted for his new jaw. The Technology Helps to maintain a sense of hope. If you know you are going to get a solution, you can keep going. And secondly, red wine helps enormously. Reporter but there is also that passion for cycling, which survives in spite of everything he has been through. Katty as does a sense of the humor. Stonehenge has always been associated with engine mysteries that attract modernday druids. Now an academic recreated what he says is the strange acoustics of stonehenge from thousands of years ago. Much of the stone circle has been lost over the years, but the doctor has used Virtual Reality to take us back to experience the original prehistoric site. Our boards corresponded our arts correspondent reports. Reporter people have been coming here for at least 4000 years. We are walking in the seat of history. Reporter when the wind blows, some people say they hear a strange hum. Thomas hardy wrote about it, and this doctor is convinced the sound of stonehenge is part of its magic. You here between each beat a little echo at the sound leaves you come hits the stone, and comes back. Reporter the problem is this is just a fragment of the sound people would have heard 4000 years ago. I met the sites historian. This is the front door of stonehenge we are going through right now. We are coming into the central space. You get that feeling of being enclosed in the space. What we are looking at today is the ruin of stonehenge. Many of the stones have been taken away from the site. Many have fallen down. They are covered in lichen. Reporter completely different atmosphere. Yes, it would. However, he has an answer. What this new Vr Technology is offering is a possibility, a chance to, well, return back hearee and also here what this place used to look like in the past. We have reconstructed by rebuilding stonehenge digitally and using Architectural Software to reconstruct the coup sticks of this the acoustics of the space. Reporter how different is the old sound from the sound we have today . To hear a little bit of a n echo. When all the stones were put in place, much more powerful sense of enclosure, slight reverberation, and it changes more as you walk around. Reporter so today, it is just ruin beside a busy road. This, a chance to say goodbye to the 21st century and experience the lost sound of stonehenge. Katty that brings this program to a close.
