Stock market index. The dow closed down more than 4 over a 1000 points the biggest one day point fall in history. Investors are reacting to the latest data on wages in the us, which suggest bigger Interest Rate rises might be on the way. Katie silver reports. Little did they know, they were ringing in the bell on what was to be the worst day on wall street in a decade. The Dow Jones Industrial average, which measures the performance of 30 major companies, fell by an unprecedented 1,175 points. And it wasnt the only index to tumble. The nasdaq composite dropped almost 3. 8 , while the s p 500 lost more than 4 , its biggest drop since 2011. The trouble began last friday when new figures showed wages in the us were growing faster than expected. Investors predict that a rise in salaries will cause more people to spend more, pushing up inflation. And if theres a rise in inflation, the Us Federal Reserve will hike Interest Rates, which the market doesnt like. The wall street plunge isnt a good look for donald trump, who has repeatedly touted its successes during his 13 months as president. The white house responded to the current sell off, saying theres always concern when the market loses any values, but theyre confident in the economys fundamentals. The malaise has spread to asian markets. In australia, stocks were down almost 2. 6 at the open. The benchmark asx 200 has already lost almost 41 billion us, and the trading day is only halfway done. The nikkei index ofjapan dived more than 5 in early trading. It is coming off a 26 year high and was expected to correct itself, but quite this steeply. While in hong kong, stocks have plunged almost 3 at the opening. How the markets will fare as the trading day continues, though, remains to be seen. Katie silver, bbc news. Lets cross live to shanghai and speak to robin brant. This is an odd one, isnt it, because the data that triggered this was actually good news for the us economy. The dow has been at record highs. Analysts are saying that this appears to be a correction. Stock market correction, some profit taking. As was explained in that piece just then, even though the fundamentals in the us economy appeared to be very healthy, unemployment at record levels, which is increasing, there is some nervousness about monitoring policy decisions coming down the line. Monetary. Not just decisions coming down the line. Monetary. Notjust in the us. We have a new chair at the us federal bank. The expectation is that americans could be out there spending more in millions of shops, online, across the country, and this could mean a rate inflation, and the fed is committed to keep inflation a certain target, and they do that by putting Interest Rates up. So there was an expectation of Interest Rates increasing, and that might be one reason why we have seen the events of the last 2a 36 hours, with the dow losing so much. That record one day loss in terms of points in terms of one day. But i think the speed of the losses and their intensity at this to be the biggest concern. We look to some of these s p futures trading after hours, and they are not heavily traded usually. But the signs they are that when new opens again, this route me continue. Here in shanghai, we are seeing losses in the concert market of over 296. Losses in the concert market of over 2 . That losses in the concert market of over 2 . That composite. Double it in japan, and hong kong. Interest in the increasingly in china there is talk of a government intervention. This is to try and stop domestic losses and maintain some stability. That might be why the losses you have not been so severe. Just briefly, in stock market alone is not a countrys economy. There is more to it than that. But this is a tricky one, isnt it, for donald trump . Boasting about stock market gains, its a dangerous game for a president. But he done a lot of it. But if you own a burning down, you need to take the calls as well. Residents try to own the ups and stay away from the downs. I think be difficult for it donald trump, and whether this man is an anti politician, he has tried to, i think we can expect is cautious words from the white house. Not perhaps from donald trump himself, at distancing, certainly personally, to a certain extent, from losses like this, and the early signs are that is what we are seeing. We are seeing statements from the White House Press office to try and reassure people, reassure investors, but obviously cut will we see the president on twitter . Well, we will see. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. The disgraced former doctor larry nassar has been sentenced to another a0 to 125 years in prison for sexual abusing young female athletes. He already faces a lifetime in jail for two earlier sentences. The latest sentence ends criminal proceedings against nassar, the former usa Gymnastics Team doctor. The South African president is under mounting pressure to step down as senior members of the governing anc meet in emergency session to discuss his political future. Party leaders are thought to want jacob zuma to leave office ahead of the state of the nation address to parliament on thursday. The british born actor who played one of tvs most popular screen dads in the us sitcom frasier, john mahoney, has died in chicago, aged 77. He was famous for his role as martin crane, a grumpy, down to earth retired policeman who often outwits his two pretentious sons. The role earned him two emmy and two golden globe nominations. A state of emergency is in force in the maldives, and Security Forces have detained a number of opposition politicians. The political crisis comes during the countrys peak tourism season when tens of thousands of foreigners visit the maldives tropical beaches. Bill hayton reports. This is the Moment Police detained the former president of the maldives, Maumoon Abdul gayoom. Neighbours came into the street to shout their good wishes as he was taken away, reportedly to a prison island. Before his arrest, he posted this statement to supporters online. Translation police are here to arrest me. I remain stead fast in my resolve. I do not know what the charges are. I havent done anything to warrant arrest. I urge everyone to be strong. We will not give up the reforms we started. Stay courageous. Police were also sent to the Supreme Court in the country, arresting the supremejustice and one other judge. The current president , abdulla yameen, ordered the moves against the court after it ruled that terrorism charges against nine opposition politicians were not justified, and ordered they were freed. Instead of complying, president yameen ordered a 15 day state of emergency, the sacking of the police commissioner, and a political crackdown. 0pposition supporters made their feelings known. 0ne mp called the event a purge. And the american and British Governments have called for president yameen to obey the law. But the two biggest players in the maldives politics, india and china, have so far remained silent beyond the warning tourists could be in trouble. This is the peak season for the main industry of the country, and the consequences of the actions of the president could be very costly for the maldives. Bill hayton, bbc news. Here in the uk, the Prime Ministers decision to rule out membership of any kind of Customs Union after brexit will mean new trade barriers on British Goods and services. That was the warning from the European Unions chief brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, in downing street on monday. He went further, saying the time had come for the uk to choose what sort of relationship it wants with the eu after leaving. 0ur Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg reports. In a hurry. Notjust to catch the 10 56 from brussels to london. We have not a minute to lose, because we want to achieve a deal. But the eus chief negotiator wants to press on. It is time for bargaining, he says, as the next round of brexit talks loom. The First Priority for him and his host david davis is to agree what happens straight after brexit. Do you know what the British Government wants . The two years or so timeframe, not much will change, but the real posturing is about the longer term. Theresa may popped in for a drink after reminding her party that she wants out of the Single Market free trade area and the current Customs Union. But she knows, along with these two, there might be mishaps along the way. 0ur negotiating team is starting straightaway, tomorrow, certainly, on an intensive period of negotiation, and are confident we can get that agreement. Yet while this might sound elegant in a french accent, its still a warning. Without the Customs Union, outside the Single Market, barriers to trade and goods and services are unavoidable. Time has come to make choice. In other words foreign secretary and others, make your mind up. The eu has consistently said we cant keep the best bits of the eu without losing, somewhere. But that has always been rejected by brexiteers. What my side wants now what most of the country wants is a good deal. The way to get a good deal is to be very clear that we are leaving, we are leaving the Single Market, leaving the Customs Union. The fear of others in the tory party and in parliament is that the eurosceptics are too close to no 10. This week the Prime Minister hopes to get the cabinet to find a compromise. What is more important, sticking close to the eu or making the most of freedom outside . Weve heard a lot of were not going to do this, were not going to do that. What are we going to do . That is what were waiting to hear, that is what the 27 countries the uks negotiating with are waiting to hear. In the meantime, this uncertainty is really, really bad for business. No 10 has to make bargains within its party as well as with the eu outside. Todays talks were about the eu and the uk plugging back in before the next charged round of negotiations really get going. But arguably, for there to be meaningful progress any time soon, the uk ministers have to speed up their decisions about their overall approach. None of the questions are easy, but after months of squabbling, time to discuss becomes time to decide. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. Stay with us on bbc news.

There was a partial shutdown for three days injanuary until republicans and democrats voted for temporary funding bill soppy the representative said the latest measure would find most agencies and two years cash for Community Health centres a man accused of hacking into Us Government computers has won a high Court Challenge against his extradition to the United States. Lauri love, who has aspergers syndrome, a form of autism, is alleged to have carried out a series of Cyber Attacks against agencies including nasa and the us army. Butjudges in the uk said it would be oppressive to send him for trial in america, where he could have faced a 90 year prison sentence, as our correspondent daniela the reason ive gone through this ordeal is notjust to save myself from being kidnapped and locked up for 99 years in a country ive never visited, but it is to set a precedent whereby this will not happen to other people in the future. The appeal courtjudges ruled that lauri loves autism made him particularly vulnerable, that extradition to america could lead to severe depression, and make him a suicide risk. And crucially, for his well being, he needed to be close to his parents, here in britain. The relief for lauri love, his family, and supporters is obvious here in court. They believe that this decision isjust and humane. In a spate of online attacks in 2012 and 2013, lauri love is alleged to have hacked into the computers and systems of several Us Government agencies. They include the fbi, the department of defense, the federal reserve, americas central bank, and the space agency nasa. Lauri love was traced via a romanian e mail address and a paypal account. Hes been interviewed here by Britains National crime agency but, as yet, has not been charged. Todays judgement did not rule out a prosecution here in the uk, something his family and his supporters are prepared for. How do you feel about the prospect of a trial here in the uk and a possible jail term . I do trust a trial in the uk. In the us, the chances of me ever getting a trial are quite slim just because people are forced to plead guilty to avoid huge charges, huge sentences that they might face if they take a trial. In the uk, we dont strong arm people into facilitating their own prosecutions. This case has been a strain on the entire love family, especially lauris father, who is a prison chaplain. There is a consensus of agreement about the things that really matter, about decency, about justice, about fairness. Ive always believed to be born in these islands is to win the lottery of life and that what makes britain great, makes it great britain, is not our power or our might, but the fact that it is a great place to live. The United States now has two weeks to lodge a request for an appeal hearing at the uk Supreme Court. The Crown Prosecution Service will also decide whether to bring charges. But, despite the remaining uncertainty, this was a day to celebrate for lauri love. He now wants to focus on his Electrical Engineering degree and is planning to pursue a career in cyber security.

A north korean spy who blew up a Korean Airlines aircraftjust months before the seoul 0lympics in 1988 has issued a warning ahead of south koreas winter games. Kim hyon says the regime that recruited her and trained her to murder 115 South Koreans has not changed. Shes been recounting her extraordinary story to our seoul correspondent laura bicker. News reel she was under heavy sedation with her mouth covered with adhesive tape. Translation i was told that i was on the front line to unify korea, that i would be free in south korea like a revolutionary hero. I was full of pride and dignity. But i realised it was murder, killing my own people, innocent, everyday people. It was a japanese radio, a small radio, and thats where i put the detonator. Next to it was the liquid explosive in a liquor bottle in a plastic bag which i placed on the shelf in the plane. In the north, we are told that the south is a colony of america, poor and corrupt, that the us is an aggressor. We are told they are the arch enemy and we cannot live under the same sky. News reel in a blaze of publicity this morning, the South Koreans paraded the woman they claimed was a north korean agent.

Do you think the run up to the olympics, the overtures of peace coming from kim jong un, do you think it is fake . Translation of course it is fake. The ultimate goal of north korea is to complete its nuclear programme. They have nothing in their mind but nuclear weapons. North korea will not change through dialogue. North korea cannot be changed by soft words. I believe only pressure will work on north korea. So, you have life, you have love, and now i believe you have children. Umm, do they know what you did . Translation my children are not old enough to know the story, and i have not tried to tell them the details yet. But these days, with internet readily available, and my interviews on media, i suspect they must know something. My son is quiet, but i think he knows. As the bomber, i have a lifelong work of atonement. It is my cross to bear for the rest of my life.
