biggest local stories. we will start in washington. donald trump says he wants immigrants from "everywhere". this came when he was pressed by a reporter in the oval office during a photo opportunity with the president of kazakhstan a short time ago. did you say you wanted more people to come in from norway? did you say that? thank you very much. i want them to come in from everywhere. thank you very much, everybody. thank you very much, everybody. thank you, everyone. out. thank you. the president has always given the impression he wants immigrants to come in from everywhere. most recently there was controversy at the end of last week over allegations the president used the word shithole to describe african countries and 80. —— and haiti. anthony zurcherjoins me from washington. it simply isn't true, he has been saying directly the opposite for the last few years. the way they have tried to say this is talk about merit—based immigration. the current system, one of which is a green card lottery system, where people who are here can bring in family members, they view that as not merit—based. when he says everywhere. the way the white house would frame this is as long as a person is qualified, they bring skills and a love of america, and an ability to speak english, they can come from anywhere. that is in stark contrast to what we heard last week at the white house when he was talking about specific places he wa nts was talking about specific places he wants people to come from, say countries like norway, places which are ethnically white, versus, as you described, shithole countries, central africa, haiti, those are predominantly not white countries. this is a strange issue, this, for the president. one of the reasons he got elected was for tough line which about immigration. but at the same time he can't be seen to be owning abrasive language like this. it's been really strange the way the white house has tried to handle this since the reports came out about donald trump's language in the oval office. white house aides were first saying that this is great, we will be loved for this, donald trump was on the phone bragging about it to friends, saying this will play well. the next morning he tweeted that he didn't use that language. but that he was talking about countries that we re he was talking about countries that were economically depressed. then later on you saw the white house this morning saying the president did use harsh words, but those were not the exact words. the main thing was that he wants to stand up for people coming to america who are qualified and interested and can bring something to the country. they did not deny that donald trump —— they did not deny it, donald trump then denied it, we are trying to find out exactly what the white house's line is on this. in the last few minutes, at the white house, there has been everything for the presidential position, ronnie jackson. he has been giving an account of donald trump's health. here is some of it. i have got to know him pretty well. i have no concerns about his cognitive ability 01’ concerns about his cognitive ability or his neurological functions. concerns about his cognitive ability or his neurologicalfunctions. i wasn't going to do a cognitive exam. i had no intention of doing one. we did the cognitive assessment because the president asked me to do it. he came to me and he said is there something we can do, a test, some kind of screen we can do to assess my cognitive ability. that's very interesting because it means the president wants to see off that idea that the 25th amendment could see him being taken out of the white house. exactly. it had to be viewed asa house. exactly. it had to be viewed as a step by the president to head this off and proves that those allegations in fire and fury, the book that came out last week, saying he was mentally incapable of serving as commander in chief were ill founded. the remarks on his health from the doctor where that donald trump is currently very healthy and will remain so for the remainder of his presidency. although his weight is 239 lb, which is one lb away from being obese at his height. his doctor said he needed to lose ten to 15 lb in the coming months and yea rs. 15 lb in the coming months and years. thanks very much. in a moment we will talk about a new york times piece on steve bannon. in the meantime, the press conference is still going on in the white house, we can listen in. had i seen a large bump themi we can listen in. had i seen a large bump them i would have found that concern, but i didn't, so we are not going down that path. do you have a weight measurement? 239 lb, just shy of obesity. you are confident of that number, did you do regiments? we don't, we do height and weight. we don't, we do height and weight. we put him into the bmi calculator. we've never done measurements. there isn't much point. the president has acknowledged that he would be healthier if he lost a few pounds. that is what we will try to do. doing measurements, getting some other form of calculation wouldn't really have changed anything clinicalfor really have changed anything clinical for us. we are listening to a doctor talk about the president of america's waistline measurements, but that is the level of interest in donald trump and his health. the physician has just trump and his health. the physician hasjust said trump and his health. the physician has just said that apart from needing to lose some weight he is in good health. both physically and mentally. i was just showing you this article from the new york times a moment ago. steve bannon is reported to have been subpoenaed to testify at a grand jury. that is just the new york times saying that. we have not been able to confirm it. but if that was the case, it would have been instigated by... robert mueller who's leading the inquiry into alleged collusion between the trump campaign and russia. here's katty kay's analysis for why steve bannon will be summoned. it's no surprise that he would want to talk to steve bannon. this is only coming from the new york times at the moment. it would suggest that steve bannon, if true, is not himself a target of the investigation, but somebody robert mueller would like to get evidence from about what was happening between the trump campaign and any possible ties to moscow. this has more relevance 110w possible ties to moscow. this has more relevance now after that book fire and fury because in that book steve bannon is quoted talking at some length about the russian investigation. no surprise robert mueller would like to speak to him. and it comes on the same day steve bannon has been appearing before the house intelligence committee. also on the crash investigation. and answering questions to them. steve bannon's also been in the news because of those quotes in the fire and fury book which criticised president trump's son. he's also in the news today. here he is arriving to testifying at a closed session of the house intelligence committee. we can turn back to katy to break down all the ongoing investigations. three investigations going on on capitol hill. two in the senate, while in the house. there is the fbi investigation with robert miller. all of these investigators looking at those in trump world from the campaign days and the white house. they spoke to steve bannon today. we don't know what they said. he's also going to talk to lewandowski who was involved in the campaign earlier. and the house intelligence committee also is going to talk to hope hicks. she is the 28—year—old aide to president trump, communications director in the white house, she has been with him for a very long time. spends a lot of time with the president. has been involved in a lot of these meetings. and she has also been in the white house. she somebody who is still close to the white house, and somebody the investigators want to talk to. let's go from the east coast to the west coast of the usa. police in california tell us this couple had their 13 children "shackled to their beds with chains and padlocks in dark and foul—smelling surroundings". david and louise turpin have now been charged with torture and child endangerment. doctors looking after the siblings say they are being very cooperative, and are hopeful their lives will now get better. map the family home is in perris — which is around 100km south—east of los angeles. this is the house. and this is streetview showing us the muir woods road. it's a classic suburban scene. the alarm was raised on sunday when a 17 year old daughter escaped through a window and called 911 on a deactivated cell phone. when the police arrived they found children as young as two — and adults as old as 29. here's what they saw. when they arrived inside the house they noticed the children were malnourished. it was very dirty. the conditions were horrific. they are now receiving medical treatment. here's the head of one of the local hospitals. ican i can tell you that they are very friendly. they are very cooperative. i believe they are hopeful that life will get better for them after this event. let's look at what we know about this family. this picture is on their facebook page. we can see pictures of them at disneyland and in las vegas. one of the reasons they were in las vegas is because the couple renewed their wedding vows. so far so normal. but this is what their neighbours have had to say. the kids were not sociable. they did not want to look at people. they we re not want to look at people. they were just not want to look at people. they werejust doing what not want to look at people. they were just doing what they were doing. no eye contact with society. you would never see anybody visit. you would never see anybody visit. you would never see anybody come out side. you were just see that they might go out, make a grocery run, and that was about it. as you see i have a daughter, i am finding this horrifying that this can happen in this community. we also know from public records that mr turpin declared bankrupcy — twice. and it's thought the children were home—schooled. this is the california department of education website. it lists mr turpin as the principal of sandcastle day school. sandcastle was in fact a private school operated out of his home. james cook is outside the turpin's house in perris. there are lots of unanswered questions. they were only at this house behind me, according to the authorities, since 2014. where were they before that? what sort of conditions were they being held in? this home—schooling we are hearing about, what was it? the family are described as deeply religious. one neighbour said she thought they had originally come from west virginia, although authorities said they had most recently moved to california from texas. there are also investigating, this house was registered as a home—school. it's unusual in california, but not unheard of, there are quite a number of people who choose to go down the home—schooling root in this state. they say there is no record of any other pupils being registered here. but they are checking to see if anybody had any other involvement with this family. one other thing which are striking, talking about malnourishment, it suggests that the conditions they endured had gone on for a long time, is that both neighbours here and police saying the same thing, which is that they we re the same thing, which is that they were stunned to discover that what they thought were children were actually adults. both in terms of their physical stature, but also in terms of the way they moved. one of the neighbours i was talking to hear said that the young woman skipped along as if they were children. the young men walked awkwardly as if they were adolescents. that perhaps tells you something about the way they were brought up, and the condition, the way they were conditioned by their parents, who, of course, it should be set, haven't been convicted of any crime yet. they face these charges. they will have their day in court. they argue in court on charges of child torture child endangerment. thanks very much. later we will head further south for the latest on the killing of venezuelan's most wanted man. we knew he was involved in a gunfight with the authorities. that ended with the authorities. that ended with him dying. some of his supporters dying. and two policeman dying. trade union leaders whose members are affected trade union leaders whose members a re affected by trade union leaders whose members are affected by the collapse of the construction company carillion have held talks with government ministers this evening. len mccluskey says there are lots of unanswered questions. we will press the government at some juncture. there needs to be an enquiry. we want to know why directors were allowed to pay themselves massive bonuses, paying massive dividends to their shareholders at a time when the company was shareholders at a time when the com pa ny was clearly shareholders at a time when the company was clearly not in a position to do that. £600 million deficit, yet these massive bonuses we re deficit, yet these massive bonuses were still being paid. we want to know why some ex—directors are still being paid on the books now. the former boss of this company is getting £55,000 a month. he isn't worried about where his mortgage payments are coming from. right up until october. we will be putting pressure not only on the government but also the administrators. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: there is a major development in the investigation into alleged russian interference in the us election, reports say steve bannon has been ordered to testify before a grand jury. let's turn to some of the main stories on bbc world service radio. bbc arabic reports that the united states are withholding millions of dollars in aid funding for the un relief agency for palestinians. the trump administration has withheld $65 million and urged other countries to pay more. bbc mundo report that a bridge in central colombia has collapsed, killing at least 10 people. workers were constructing the 450 metre long suspension bridge. the cause of the collapse is under investigation. lots of you have been getting a sneezing lesson on the bbc news website. doctors are warning people not to clamp their nose when they sneeze. one 34—year—old man has ruptured his throat doing that. the sneeze apparently has the power to rip through soft tissue. you've been warned. you can find this on the website. we've been talking a lot about north and south korea — and how the winter olympics in pyeongchang next month seem to be helping to warm relations — all be it from a very cold starting point. a meeting in vancouver today is unlikely to impress kimjong un. here's us secretary of state rex tillerson from the us — along with the uk's borisjohnson and around 20 other foreign ministers. their collective goal is to get north korea to give up its nuclear ambitions. this is rex tillerson earlier. first, we all must insist a full enforcement of the un security council sanctions. this is the latter of the law. we especially urge russia and china in this manner. bolton fermentation is an essential measure for the security of their people and a clear indication of their willingness to honour their international commitments. —— bold implementation. we will continue to call attention to and designate entities to individuals complicit in such actions. all of the countries who were present talk regularly about north korea. you can be forgiven for asking what is different about what is happening in vancouver today. it is happening in vancouver today. it isa is happening in vancouver today. it is a question i put... if there is going to be any major change as to how north korea is approached, china have to be involved. they are hoping to send a message. a message that they are united in keeping up the pressure campaign and also in their demands that north korea ultimately denuclearise. that message was more important to send now than before because of this diplomatic opening between north and south korea. there have been questions about whether the pressure campaign would become less strong, and whether north korea might get away with trying to get some concessions without actually giving up what people wanted to give up. that message came through loud and clear. the practical thing they are going to be talking about is how to try to stop sanctions busting, how to stop smuggling the way north korea invades sanctions. rex tillerson made mention of it. there have been some documented incidents where ship to ship transfers of fuel, for example, which have been banned under sanctions. they want to look at more ways which will empower nations to stop and search ships to prevent that kind of smuggling. sanctions are already in place. rex tillerson is also calling for north korean ships to be intercepted at sea. back in december the north korean... kcna news agency said: the idea is that a naval blockade in the sea of japan and the yellow sea would prevent north korea from getting raw materials and equipment — disrupt its exports of coal and iron. but look at north korea — those two long coasts would be hard to police — and as barbara explains isn't likely anytime soon. the idea of a naval blockade is very controversial. it could lead to some kind of conflict, or something like that. that's something the americans did mention in a way. trying to get into the most recent un sanctions resolution. they want to tighten rules about being able to stop ships in international waters, stop them and expect them to make sure they we re and expect them to make sure they were not sanctions busting. that would enable a sort of blockade. that did not go through in the un. i don't think we're looking at that kind of measure from here. what they will be talking about is some of the legal areas. where they can feel co mforta ble. legal areas. where they can feel comfortable. where they can feel they are able to take strong steps than they have taken before. where things stand at the moment, there can bea things stand at the moment, there can be a certain amount of intercepting ships, but not in international waters. it is a question of how you get from banning ships from port to actually stopping them in international waters. barbara will keep us posted from vancouver. quite a pledge from mcdonald's today — it says all its packaging worldwide will come from sustainable sources by 2025. that is quite an ambitious goal. why are they doing it? a few reasons. there is pressure from customers, who have always said that this is something they really want. given all of the turbulence mcdonald's has suffered over the last few years. they have revamped their menus to try to get more people to come through to their stores, to try to adhere to what the customers really want. that's part of it. the other pa rt want. that's part of it. the other part is that the industry is changing. if you look at a lot of fast food restaurants that have come onto the market many of them use sustainable items when it comes to cutlery, and when it comes to their packaging, they make an effort to do a lot of recycling. there is that pressure within the restaurant industry for mcdonald's to do this. they have set the goal. is it practical? it sounds difficult to do. it will be difficult to do. if you look at north america and europe, for example, those facilities already exist to make sustainable utensils and packaging. in other parts of the world that is going to be a lot more difficult. mcdonald's‘ response to that is that they would invest money into infrastructure in countries that don't have that already. it looks like they are actually going to want to put some sort of personal investment into this, as well. thanks very much. drivers for the ride—hailing app uber will have a cap on the number of hours they can work in the uk from next week. i was going to show you a tweet from alanjones i was going to show you a tweet from alan jones which said i was going to show you a tweet from alanjones which said drivers must an uninterrupted six hour break after ten hours work. there are currently 50,000 drivers operating in london and it's estimated about 3.5 million people use the service. uber is locked in a legal battle with the city of london over safety concerns — and risks having its operating licence suspended. the london taxi drivers association has been very critical. they say that the drivers will still be able to do too many hours. when one of the biggest names in the world of money talks — people listen. the boss of blackrock, larry fink, one of the most influential investors on the planet, has sent a letter telling the biggest public companies they need to give back to society or face loosing the support of the investment firm. —— or face losing the support of the investment firm. management expert chris roebuck explains the significance of this letter. this is a watershed moment for the leadership of all investors, or corporate. if we go back. he said the only responsibility of the corporate was to get shareholders to make profits. everyone has been quoting that. but we forget he said that 56 years ago. since then we have had globalisation, we have climate change, the world has got challenges that milton freeman wouldn't have even dreamt about. at last what is happening is that the corporate world in terms of the relationship with wider society is being forced to accept that it has the change. in a few minutes time we will turn back to venezuela. yesterday we were talking about how one of the country's most wanted men was involved in a gunfight. he has died. we will bring you up to date. good evening. time for our round—up of the world weather. we will start with stormy weather. not here, but out in the indian ocean. a powerful cyclone is bearing down on reunion and mauritius. it could be the most powerful cyclone to hit the region since 2002 and possibly since the mid—905. the cyclone is a nasty storm. it has already been bringing heavy rain. it looks like the colour of the storm may directly go over the islands. just a wobble to the north and south. —— the core of the storm. likely problems will come in for reunion and mauritius. back home, we are expecting stormy weather over the next couple of days. this is wednesday, snow across the alps, very unsettled around the balkans, as well. we are keeping a close eye on a developing storm just coming out of north america, tracking across the atlantic. by wednesday it is just approaching ireland. then it will be moving across the british isles, the rest of the british isles. a nasty storm. tightly packed isoba rs, of the british isles. a nasty storm. tightly packed isobars, which means severe gales expected. it'll be blowing very strong from tonight onwards across ireland. the next storm will bring the severe gales. notjust of storm will bring the severe gales. not just of the storm will bring the severe gales. notjust of the uk, but other parts of europe. winds could be damaging. let's ta ke of europe. winds could be damaging. let's take a look at western parts of europe on thursday. that is when we will be feeling the impact. across more western and central parts, you can see the rush of wind. by parts, you can see the rush of wind. by this stage the kyle wood has swept by this stage the kyle wood has swe pt a cross by this stage the kyle wood has swept across the uk, gone through belgium, holland, and now northern parts of germany. —— by this stage this wind will have swept across. we will have the impact wednesday night into thursday. severe gales expected tomorrow night across the uk. let's start the forecast with the season. already a strong north—westerly breeze, snow settling across northern hills. winds briefly died down tomorrow with sunshine around. more snow showers in the north. behind me, the next weather system ramping up, racing towards us at a rate of knots, and that will be bringing us severe weather conditions as we go through the course of wednesday evening at the early hours of thursday. here it is trekking across ireland, the irish sea, and those isobars with very strong winds, disruptive winds, across the north. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source, and these are the main stories here in the bbc newsroom. a major development in the investigation into alleged russian interference in the us presidential presidential election. reports say president trump's former chief strategist, steve bannon, has been ordered to testify before a grand jury. doctors treating the thirteen siblings rescued from being shackled in a house in california say they're being cooperative and hoping for a better life — here's how one of them raised the alarm. a 17—year—old girl called 911 from a deactivated cell phone, and reported that her siblings were being held against their will, some of them chained. a renegade police officer has been killed on the run in venezuela. venezuela's most wanted man oscar perez is dead. he was a vehement opponent of president maduro. last year he was the pilot as a helicopter dropped grenades on the venezuelan supreme court. he's been on the run since. that was in caracas. then this week perez and several other men were cornered in an area nearby among these houses. as they came under attack perez starting posting videos on instagram. in this one he says he wants to surrender. translation: they are shooting at us with rpg ‘s, grenade launchers and snipers. there are civilians in here. we said we would turn ourselves into federer want to let us, they want to us. mr perez's mother issued a plea saying "he is trying to give himself up and they will not let him in. let him surrender." to many including the president though, he was a terrorist. six of perez's supporters died — but so did two policemen. and 10 were injured. this is president madura today ahead of a state of the union address. he's said action had to be taken because the group was planning a bomb attack on an embassy. translation: the command groups were fulston to action, some of the terrorist groups fell, others were captured. more than five were ca ptu red captured. more than five were captured and they were already giving their statements and telling all. the plans they have horrifying. when news emerged that oscar perez had died box 4 this started happening. this was relatively close to where oscar perez was killed — and these supporters are chanting "freedom". here's what one demonstrator had to say. translation: this shows that venezuela is fed up with what's happening, this demonstration is to defend oscar peres who has done a lot for us, much more than the opposition has managed. some people are asking why the government didn't take perez alive after he'd said he wanted to surrender. here the bbc‘s daniel garcia in caracas. the interior minister said today that there was a very different story, that this rebel group attacked police officers, then they had to respond. then there was this shoot out, there were nine casualties, seven members of the police rebel group and two police officers. it's a very different story from the story we heard yesterday, watching the video was posted by oscar peres on instagram. the helicopter attack i showed you earlier made it happened injune last year — at the height of street protests against president maduro's government. and for many, he became a sort of martyr and symbol of resistance. this protest movement is very quiet right now. there has been some outrage, because of this shoot out yesterday, but there are some people, opposition supporters, saying that mr peres is a kind of hero because he was fighting for the freedom of the country, on the other hand the government supporters say he was a very dangerous terrorist. so far, there are no protests. it's very difficult for us to see the kind of protests we were seeing last year. pope francis has said he feels "pain and shame" over a sex abuse scandal involving the catholic church in chile. he also asked the victims for forgiveness. all of this was in his first official address in chile, it took place in the capital santiago. constanza hola is chilean bbc journalist based here in the bbc newsroom. she recorded this for us. this visit by pope francis in chile has been marked for mass today, an open—air mass that was completely fully booked, people were queueing at 2am. in that mass, the pope said something that was really important for delaying people, he said he was orally and ashamed about the child abuse. —— he said he was sorry and ashamed. this has been really interesting. this is the first time he has done this in the country. the reception yesterday when he arrived was not that massive. we could not see as many people as the visit of john paul ii in 1987. back then, there was a dictatorship, under the rule of pinochet. people were wondering if the pope could act as a mediator, to get a way out of general pinochet‘s rule. at that time, people were quite united in terms of seen the figure of the pope asa terms of seen the figure of the pope as a mediator. this time, not all the people, not most of the people, are that excited about francis, pope francis, coming to chile. don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our website. i want to quickly talk about donald trump. in this press conference earlier he took some questions from journalists, insisting he has no issue about immigration, saying he wa nts issue about immigration, saying he wants immigration from everywhere. that's one of several trump presidency stories we are covering. another is that the president has been expected by his physician and we have heard from the doctor today who has been saying how the president is in good physical health and has no cognitive problems. he actually gave a press conference, here is some of what the doctor told us. i have got to know him pretty well. i had no concerns about his cognitive ability or his neurological function. cognitive ability or his neurologicalfunction. i cognitive ability or his neurological function. i was cognitive ability or his neurologicalfunction. i was not going to do a cognitive exam, i had them intention of doing one. the reason we did the assessment was plain and simple because the president asked me to do it. he said is there something we can do, a test of some type of screen we can do to assess my cognitive ability? this website has a sample of the kind of cognitive assessment donald trump may have done, this type. you have to name certain animals, connect letters a nd to name certain animals, connect letters and numbers in order, and so on. we can find out more about that online, you can also get details of all these donald trump stories on the website. we have also been talking about the situation in california where some children, some of him were actually adults now, have been held in captivity by their parents, now being treated in hospital. larry nasser was a physician for usa gymnastics for two decades — he is accused of molesting about 100 girls during his time in that role. the highest profile is made herself known just yesterday. simone biles tweeted this. and attached amounts to her victim statement. nasser already pleaded guilty to assault — today is the first day of his sentencing hearing and he's being confronted by his accusers. our sports editor dan roan posted this. " little girls don't stay little forever" this has to be seen to be believed. courageous kyle stephens confronts larry nassar — the man who abused her aged 6 — in court. we have it for you, in this report from natalie pirks. commentator: the final move of her olympic championships. full twisting doubleback. .. she was the poster girl of the rio olympics, herfour gold medals secured her place in sporting legend. commentator: how does she do it? co-commentator: absolutely amazing performance. but last night, simone biles, the self—proclaimed happy, giggly and energetic girl made international headlines as she admitted to feeling broken. olympic champion simone biles comes forward to say she was also sexually abused by former usa gymnastics doctor, larry nassar. larry nassar is accused of sexually abusing more than 130 women under the guise of medical treatment and is already serving 60 years injailfor possessing images of child sexual abuse. after pleading guilty to seven counts of criminal sexual conduct, he was in court again today and heard impact statements from some of his victims. perhaps you have figured it out by now, but little girls don't stay little forever. they grow into strong women that return to destroy your world. in a lengthy statement last night, biles said that for a long time she'd asked herself if she was to blame. she now knows she wasn't and isn't afraid to tell her story any more. "i love this sport too much and i have never been a quitter," she said. "i won't let one man and the others that enabled him to steal my love and joy." biles' olympic gold medal winning team—mate, aly raisman, is another who says she was abused by nassar. she has accused authorities of a cover—up. what did usa gymnastics do and larry nassar do to manipulate these girls so much that they are so afraid to speak up. usa gymnastics says it's heartbroken and sorry and angry if any of our athletes have been harmed by larry nassar. only one american woman has ever won gold on the vault, simone biles. she's used to making the spectacular look effortless but for simone biles the pain of reliving her experience has been incredible. yesterday we talked about the biggest refugee camp in the world. it's home to over half a million rohingya muslims who fled myanmar for bangladesh last year. today we're going to focus on efforts to get them home. a deal has been agreed where 1,500 rohingya will return each week. in theory over two years, everyone will returned. bbc‘s south east asia correspondent jonathan head has more on how this will work. there is still an awful lot of detail of what would have to happen for a viable repatriation, missing from this agreement that has come out of the first joint working group meeting that the two countries have held. they are talking about numbers, but i think these are very much ambitions at this stage, not really based on what is practical. 1500 people a week, which is what the myanmar government has agreed to, would be a great many when you think that most of the refugees are very reluctant to go back until they have better assurances about their safety. even at 1500 a week, it would take something like ten years to get back all the rohingya who fled over the past year and a half from violence in rockland state. the bangladesh side has said they want those numbers to increase but nobody is talking about what has to happen inside rakhine state before repatriation can happen. they can't be sure until international agencies are given better access to rakhine state. there are none of the un agencies who would usually smooth the return of refugees. also what has to happen is preparation for how the rohingya will live, their entire livelihood and villages have been destroyed, rebuilding villages will help but then you have to persuade the non—muslim community to accept them. donald tusk has been speaking about the possibility of the uk changing its mind. he was speaking at the european parliament in strasbourg, saying the uk is entitled to change its mind and would be allowed to stay if it did so. if the uk government sticks to its decision to leave, brexit will become a reality with all its negative consequences in march next year. unless there is a change of heart among other british friends. whether it is david davis himself who said, if a democracy cannot change its mind, it ceases to be a democracy. we hear on the continent have not had a change of heart. our hearts are still open to him. interesting to hear that, though he has said something similar in the past. he has always said before the david brexit actually occurs, he opens the uk changing its mind, we should say the uk government says that will not happen and it is pushing on with those brexit negotiations. president macron visited calais today. it's a port and city on the north coast of france move this is where the migrant camp known as ‘the jungle' was. it's been closed forjust over a year — but there are still around 600 people sleeping rough in the area area. this is what it used to look like. there were around 8,000 migrants living there when it was closed. this is a more recent image. once everyone had left, the authorities burned down the camp. now, given many of those migrants want to reach the uk, this is a british and a french problem. here's the president earlier. we need to better manage the issue of isolated miners, reinforce police operation in calais with the departure and transport countries and unblock funds for the calais region, i will raise these points with our british friends in 48 hours. the idea behind closing thejungle camp was that the migrants would be transferred to other areas of france — and then they'd be invited to apply for asylum or return home. well, french government figures show that 100,000 people had made asylum requests in the last year. and 85,000 people had been turned away at its borders. mr macron is due to meet theresa may on thursday. they're certain to talk about a 2003 agreement which effectively moved britain's border to calais. paul adams has more. the french government wants to look again at that agreement reached in 2003, get a again at that agreement reached in 2003, geta bit again at that agreement reached in 2003, get a bit more money to help with security on the side of the channel. and to take more people. more unaccompanied minors, more migrants who already have some kind of family connections over in the uk. i think the lethbridge will be that theresa may, who is in a weak position, vis—a—vis the brexit negotiations, could do with all the european goodwill that she can muster. getting that from president macron would be certainly an advantage. now to the story of a migrant who has returned home. reeyan ali is an 18—year—old whose family recently returned to somalia from a refugee camp in kenya and she has been attracting the attention of her colleagues. now, within the somali community, fishing is traditionally a man's job. however, reeyan is bucking the trend. here's her story.. i was born in a refugee camp in somalia. i have faced a number of challenges to find a job, i have six siblings all younger than me and i struggled to take care of them. my mother does not work, i make a living from the sea. i arrived early at 3am on board a boat to catch fish. i use a net and hooks. if i haven't got access to any of these things, i put on goggles and dived to catch the fish. i only recently started this kind of work. i'd use to drive it took took but i stopped doing this because the public was not happy i was driving. now i make a living out of the sea. you don't need permission from anybody. once i go far out from the shore, i can make good money. when i only fish in shallow waters, i do not earn a lot. it used to be very cold, at times when i dived into the sea my nose bled because of the pressure. finally i got used to it and i have started to make a living. iface finally i got used to it and i have started to make a living. i face a number of challenges, i hate insults that really upset me. but i ignore them, because the ones that insult me are farfewer in number them, because the ones that insult me are far fewer in number compared to the ones that encourage me. my dream is to succeed and make an income myself. some grim stats on the weather in moscow this december. it had the least amount of sunshine every recorded for a month. this is the russian weather website meteo—novosti — it says "the sun didn't come out even once." russia's main weather centre says in fact it did — for six minutes. if you think that's bad, spare a thought for people in the region know as the sakha republic. temperatures there dipped to —68 degrees celsius. these pictures give you of what that involves — you an idea of what that involves — the ministry of emergency situations — and yes there is a ministry of that name — is advising travellers to plan their trips meticulously. we got bbc russia to explain how people cope. it is quite usual. i have spent roughly half of my life in moscow and half my life in my country, in estonia, which is 1000 kilometres further north. north—west of moscow. it is always in november and december, very cold, dark, and pretty depressing i would say. i have some stark memories from my childhood, when you are a little childhood, when you are a little child and you have to wake up around seven when it's dark, you go to school and finish school when it is again dark, those pictures of little children including myself plodding through snow and ice early in the morning in that darkness, i would say they still want me, those pictures. even foradults, it's depressing, it's really depressing, but at the same time some people like the winter. they say they like the snow and frost, or they say so, because they get used to it, and that's their homeland. they might like the winter in some circumstances but i was just mentioning that in some parts of russia is going down to minus 60. once it gets that called it must be incredibly difficult just to once it gets that called it must be incredibly difficultjust to go about your normal life. yes. -60 is extreme. in most parts of russia it's not that extreme, it is cold in russia but in most parts where people actually live, it's not that cold. in some places, yes, it is. as farasi cold. in some places, yes, it is. as far as i know, they dress appropriately, they say you always have two where several layers of very thick clothing. for coats. they need to be of natural fur, because every synthetic will get frozen and snap in that cold. so they dress appropriately, and of course they don't spend much time outside, outdoors, and there are some very funny details about the living in those areas when it's —60, for example, as far as i know they never switch off the car engines because otherwise it won't be able to start again. this is all good advice in case any of us who are listening end up case any of us who are listening end up in —60, but in russia more generally you say you are haunted by that experience. did your family all your school ever talk to you about how the russian winter can be depressing, or anything you can do to stop it affecting your mood? no. i would say at least in my time, when i was a schoolboy, people did not pay that much attention to say, psychology, and things like that. that's one thing, then the other thing, we have lived there for generations, it's quite usual. nothing specialfor us. generations, it's quite usual. nothing special for us.|j generations, it's quite usual. nothing special for us. i guess it's just a surprise when the sun comes out. in december, yes, sometimes it is. those kind of surprises were in short supply in moscow. one source saying no sunshine at all month, another saying six minutes. either way, not a great month! if you watching there, hopefully things pick up in january. watching there, hopefully things pick up injanuary. we will be back tomorrow with another hour of the biggest global stories. see you then. christmas may well have come and gone but the carroll in the bleak midwinter still holds fast and true. tuesday was a miserable january day for the far north, through scotland and northern ireland. it was windy with frequent snow, i think i would have been grumpy trying to get anywhere in these conditions. some are lying snow across scotland and northern ireland, meant for some pretty pictures but i'm sure at times it was a little tedious. the cold air really descends right across the country and stays with us for most of the week. today, the showers. to ease a little. still some wintry showers and to the far north—west this afternoon but as you can see them will be decent sunny spells. it will still be quite windy and a cold frost. despite those ba rometers and a cold frost. despite those barometers saying seven or so degrees it will feel colder. into thursday morning, the early hours have a deepening area of low pressure, along the southern

showers. the worst of the weather easing away by them. two or three degrees will not feel great into the north, should see higher values by the south, six to nine. out of thursday into friday, we still have low— pressure thursday into friday, we still have low—pressure pressure sent into the north and that could produce some windy conditions across the far north—west and a scattering of

south. into sunday, we could see a chilly start, but there isa could see a chilly start, but there is a slight question with this weather front trying to push on, so cold and frosty with decent spells of sunshine, a level of uncertainty as to the timings of this weather front. you will need to keep watching the forecast for sunday, we might see some snow for a time. once we move out of sunday, one once that weather front moves through we could see things become unsettled. it does look as though the weather story is set to change. moving into next week, it will be quite unsettled, windy with gales at times, temperatures perhaps where they should be for this time of year. we lose that cold wintry flavour at least into next week. tonight at ten — after the collapse of carillion, mounting uncertainty for thousands of workers and many small firms. as suppliers demand information about whether they'll get paid, a fast—track investigation into carillion's directors is ordered by the government. i know that the business secretary greg clarke is going to make sure no stone is left unturned in order to establish just where responsibility lies for the collapse of the company. there are growing concerns for thousands of small firms, whose contracts with carillion are worth about £1.7 billion. we're a viable business, but without some sort of help from the government in the short to medium term, it's unlikely we'll trade out of this. we'll be looking at those directly affected by carillion's collapse, including more than 1400 apprentices. also tonight... a couple in california
