today and the title is on the line league leaders byron could steal the deal against line 6 while dortmund host dusseldorf hoping to stay in the rate. welcome to the program. the united states is deploying an assault ship and a missile battery to the persian gulf to bolster other military vessels already in the area the u.s. of the move is in response to a possible threat to u.s. forces in the region by iran but they didn t specify the nature of that threat iran has dismissed the claim the newly deployed vessels are the u.s.s. arlington which transforms marines and landing an aircraft as well as patriot air defense missiles they will join the u.s.s. abraham lincoln carrier that s already there. for more we re joined by alba is a journalist and researcher based in terror on let s talk 1st about this u.s. military deployment this really does increase the pressure on the iranian government doesn t it what have the response been so far. well in addition to the economic political pressure against iran the americans have been trying to use psychology called warfare against wrong in order to change the calculation into iran and make them to surrender against the united states but. it depends what type of war you re talking about yes there is a war now on economic loosely called legal but if you re talking of our military what are the likelihood of a large depletes that long sitting inside the capital city on the wrong scene smart less likely for that you ran the ins and even the couple of past days behind me is seeing the currency rate meaning dollar has decreased in that country that indicates that there is not much worry in that country about that because that in tehran is that the united states is not after a war with iran because there is. also differences among the political and military spectrum in the united states and this has made the american president frustrated over his aides obsession with the war against iran the 2nd is that the american voters didn t vote for trump to come to a military conflict with iran on the other hand iran has also leverage is in the region to counter those pressure and military threat to iran can close the strait of hormuz laws and if there is going to be any war in the region that will not be limited to the persian gulf and that can be extended to other parts of the region. including the bottom and and other parts of the region because the van is gone is enjoying a good support of proxy forces and groups in the region and this is not going to be a just one side iran and on this side the united states and that can be and our last war and this march cost for the united sates and that. why i believe that neither the you know. nor iran are after war they have been very cautious on this because recently from what i have been hearing from their military sources that the americans have been trying to be very cautious very transparent on their communication with iranian revolutionary guard forces in the strait of hormuz was because they are afraid that any misunderstanding can result in that no one wants a conflict in the region oh ok thank you very much a bus lani journalist and researcher based in tehran good to be with you china s top trade negotiator says he s cautiously optimistic his country can still reach a trade deal with the united states vice premier league who made the comments after the us announced plans to raise tariffs on all remaining chinese imports the new 11 targets $300000000000.00 worth of chinese products including consumer electronics that s on top of $200000000000.00 worth of products hit by a 1st round of u.s. terrified on friday the increase comes after negotiations between the 2 signs ended without agreement. but there is still some time for washington and beijing to resolve their differences we use all of our solid explains. it was a brief meeting in washington d.c. that ended quickly after it begun with no result but that did not come as a big surprise as the talks already stalled one week ago after the chinese negotiators walked back several parts of the agreement the major sticking points are lost restraining american companies in china and also the question how to tackle intellectual property the u.s. president donald trump made a very relaxed impression he genuinely believes that tariffs benefit the u.s. economy and he also believes that china would pay for these tariffs but economists challenge that they believe that eventually american businesses will have to pay the bill and also american consumers there s $1.00 glimmer of hope coming from washington as well and that s the fact that all goods that are currently on route from china to the u.s. on a container ship those goods are excluded and that would give negotiators another $3.00 to $4.00 weeks time to reach an agreement french special forces have rescued 4 foreign hostages from the militant group work enough aso 2 soldiers were killed in the

d.w. sports is now with me pablo byron have it almost and the bank but under still and the running you re absolutely right name to file that party well it s going to be very tight of course bahrain are on course for their 7th bundesliga title in a row which is already an incredible feat but they have a difficult clash against leipzig of course leipzig who are 3rd in the bundesliga on earth tough team definitely at home in fact they have one of the best records if not the best record actually this season on home turf now earlier this season byron and leipzig had a pretty toast clash but byron came out on top but it was certainly a turbulent affair we ll call it like that and it s going to be interesting to see because bahrain as well are. you know going to have a lot of pressure in fact on some of their star players like thomas miller and robert love and dobson to make sure they can actually score goals as they really need a win and if they win today they win the title of course now if they don t win dortmund now would still have a chance now what s going to happen is that dortmund they have a far easier task they re going to face fortunatus the doors but saying that they actually beat dortmund before christmas so it s not going to be so easy and also dormant have some bad news as well then that they re going to miss captain marco rubios he s suspended they re also going to miss muffet his votes jaden central is on the bench and goalkeeper oman bookie is going to miss the game too so they re going to have to do and. going to make sure that they can win that game to stay in with a chance for next weekend let s quickly take a look at the other end of the table 3 teams in the relegation zone still kind of jostling for position how important is it for them to get the 3rd to last position and well just a reason briefly explain basically the surge from bottom team will play the 3rd from top team in the 2nd division they play over 2 games and the winner of the game either is relegated or stays in the top tier or is promoted into the top tier and at the moment there are 3 teams who are at the end of the bottom in the 1st division one over nuremberg and stroke are stroke are pretty much are looks likely to tight 3rd from bottom space but you never know when over in europe much more difficult for them they look more than likely to 100 percent go down stuttgart still in with a chance of potentially exciting day in the been a sling and today problem foley is from d.w. sports thank you so much. all sunday scene one of the most exciting bows for the english

hitting parts of australia as storms lead to fears of flooding following the bushfires. and in sport, battling back. a day after being thrown out of the english premiership, saracens keep the european hopes alive with victory over racing 92. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the duke and duchess of sussex are able to begin establishing the details of how their new life free from royal duties will work, after the agreement announced yesterday by the queen. she was at church near sandringham this morning as the prime minister borisjohnson said he wished harry and meghan the best and was sure the royal family would find a way forward. but thomas markle the duchess s father has accused them of cheapening a great institution. here s our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. the words the queen used yesterday about harry and meghan where warm and supportive, but the deal done with them by her officials was an uncompromising one. the reputation of the royal family must be protected. it s already been battered by prince andrew s misjudgment and the family doesn t want any embarrassment from the sussexes once they re cut loose in canada. i think families are always a problem and i think she s dealt with it incredibly well. ijust think it s a shame. and it s a shame with the little one as well. yeah. yeah, for the whole family. william, charles, everybody. it is. as long as we re not paying for the lifestyle they re hoping to live, then i don t have a problem with that. there was support, too, from the prime minister. i think the whole country will want to join in wishing them the very best for the future. i said before that i was sure that the royal family, which has been around a very long time, will find a way forward and i m sure it will. but there was a very much less supportive judgment from meghan‘s estranged father, thomas. this is like one of the greatest long living institutions ever. they re destroying it. they re cheapening it. they re making it shabby. they re turning it into a walmart with a crown on it. it s slightly more than two years ago that harry and meghan did their first official engagement together in nottingham. come this spring, there will be no more of this. they won t be allowed to use their royal rank or to represent the queen. there will be questions about his immigration status in canada, and her declared aim of securing british citizenship. they can earn money, but they ll be expected to avoid anything unseemly. the palace is wary of the american advisors meghan has around her. they ve already trademarked sussex royal as a charitable and social media vehicle for the couple. but is the use of the word royal still appropriate? that s just one of the matters still under discussion. all these new arrangements will take effect in the spring. they will be reviewed in 12 months‘ time. but for now, the die is cast. one of the most popular figures within the royalfamily is preparing with his wife to say farewell. nicholas witchell, bbc news, at buckingham palace. the duke and duchess of sussex‘s official royal duties will cease in the spring, which means they ll no longer be able to throw as much of a spotlight on charitable organisations and causes. our royal correspondent daniela relph has been exploring the impact their support has had. birkenhead a year ago. harry and meghan at work. here viewing a sculpture created to mark the hundredth anniversary of the death of the war poet wilfred owen. this is the bread and butter of royal duty that they will no longer do. the couple met the artist who created the sculpture. for him, the visit of a royal prince, who is also an army veteran, really mattered. it brought a huge amount to the town. to the credibility of the project as well. it was big enough on its own, but that little extra bit that the royal brought was incredible. it was phenomenal. it was a very worthy thing, and it will be sadly missed. royal duty had, on the surface, appeared to suit harry and meghan. they had a natural ease with the public. and, crucially, a more relaxed, informal approach helped them engage with younger, more diverse communities. and i m in the same room as the royal couple right now. much of this kind of work now stops. but they will hang on to some of their projects, those where they are not formally representing the queen. that is where their passion lies, both of them. they are people who want to do good things in the world. and that s their vehicle for doing them. and so i think it s great that they re hanging onto those. the royal family brand is big business, especially here in windsor. it is home for harry and meghan in the uk. although they ll be spending much less time here, there is support for the decision they ve made. i think probably getting away from it all is. it s their choice and, you know, i think they could have gone about it a little bit differently, but, you know, you don t know what goes on behind closed doors and that s just the way it goes. palace officials say the talks over harry and meghan‘s future have been friendly and constructive. but there will be disappointment within the family that the potential of harry and meghan as working royals won t be realised. daniela relph, bbc news. people accused of stalking are to be prevented from contacting or approaching their alleged victims while they re being investigated. from tomorrow, police will be able to apply to magistrates for a stalking protection order before someone is charged if they break it, they could be jailed for five years. charlotte gallagher reports. the global superstar rihanna and hollywood actors john cusack and sandra bullock, just some of the high profile victims of stalking. this kind of harassment usually only makes the headlines when celebrities are involved, but it s frighteningly common. in england and wales, one in five women and one in ten men will experience stalking at some point in their lives. campaigners say victims are usually targeted by an ex partner or someone they ve had contact with. zoe dronfield was subjected to an eight hour ordeal by a former boyfriend and nearly died. in 2014, i was almost murdered by an ex partner. i d entered the relationship and he was starting to stalk me, so i was being harassed, stalked, he was contacting me on all sorts of platforms, and this was hundreds of times a day. tomorrow police gain new powers to tackle stalking. they ll be able to apply for court orders which will ban suspects from contacting or approaching their alleged victims while officers are investigating. if suspects breach the order, they could be jailed for up to five years. the organisation which represents senior police officers, the national police chiefs council, is welcoming these new measures, calling them another tool to help improve the safety of stalking victims. it s also encouraging anyone who is a victim of stalking to come forward as soon as possible and get help. the minister for women visiting a helpline for stalking victims. staff here are on the front line of the problem. these are really groundbreaking orders that the police will be able to apply for to protect victims of stalking, but also to make sure that the perpetrators are getting the treatment programmes and so on that they need to break their cycle of abuse. it s hoped these new powers will prevent cases like alice ruggle s. she was murdered by an ex boyfriend who d been stalking her. alice s family say these court orders could have made a critical difference. charlotte gallagher, bbc news. china is banning plastic bags in its main cities by the end of their as well as single use straws in restau ra nts. well as single use straws in restaurants.

secretary of state mike pompeo after video footage emerged of another incident of a car being driven on the wrong side of the road. near the army base where harry dunn died was to police also revealed details of a third incident in which a police vehicle was struck by a car being driven on the wrong side of the road in last year october. we are certainly raising all those issues about the driving habits of us personnel at the base and we are continuing to work for the justice for harry dunn and his family. world leaders have gathered in berlin for the bmp summit and have agreed to uphold the arms embargo as part of the peace efforts. the agreement aims to stop the flow of foreign weapons and trips into the country. libya has been plagued for the last nine years by fighting between forces loyal to the un backed government and the self styled libyan national army. the german chancellor angela merkel said a special committee would be subject oversee the peace process and ensure the truce becomes a full cease fire. translation: we received commitments by all of the participants that, until this meeting, the participants of the conference of today commit themselves to not give any further support to these parties to the conflict and in the sense that they don t give any sort of military support to them, they also will not give them weapons so that the arms embargo is respected and teachers hold. i think we created a spirit today that will enable us to pursue the track this path forward outlined. let s go to our correspondentjenny hill, who was in berlin. these agreements have been made. without those two key characters actually sitting down face to face? characters actually sitting down face-to-face? that s correct. they refused to sit in the same room together that is something which the summit organisers knew from the very beginning. they said the fact that all the key players were released in the same city together was an achievement in itself. let s be clear about what we have seen happening today. libya s conflict, civil war, has been grossly exacerbated in recent months by the intervention of a foreign powers who have been aiding both sides, sending them trips, weapons, money and so on. today, many of those foreign powers in berlin, people like russia, turkey, the united arab emirates, have agreed that they. sending troops, weapons and money into the country. crucially, this weapons embargo which has not been observed, the agreement they have come to tonight does not cover the troops and weaponry that are already in the country. even while the delegates were holding their talks this afternoon, it emerged that troops loyal to general haftar challenging the un backed libyan prime minister, had cut off a really important oil pipeline in the country. it s clear that this is not going to make everything better overnight but the summit organisers believe this is a very important first step towards a road to peace. there has been no truce agreed and, as you say, those two warring factions certainly have not agreed to put down their disagreement and work towards peace just yet, but what is now in the pipeline, we are told, are a series of meetings potentially between those two sites and so the whole aim of the summit was to try and, if you like, take some of the sting out of the conflict, so that those two warring factions have at least a chance towards a lasting peace. jenny, the whole of north and africa affected by the difficult situation in libya. how is what is taking place in libya affecting the wider region? there are three main concerns amongst all of the legates here here in berlin. libya being a very oil rich country, discomfort discerning to affect oil supply. that is a problem. for europe particularly, there are two concerns, though. first of all, the instability in the region is said to be exacerbating islamist terrorism in northern africa. that is something which europe is particularly concerned about. this is just across the mediterranean. and secondly, they are very concerned about the flow of people fleeing the conflict. libya exactly already hosting tens of thousands of refugees. it s also known as a gateway to europe for many migrants and refugees wanting to make that journey. there are concerns, certainly here in berlin and beyond, that if that conflict is not the escalated, actually, europe could start to see far more people coming in and seeking asylum here. and finally, jenny, i understand turkish troops are already around tripoli porting the un backed government. does this tell me that they will be removed from the country? in theory, no, and that is what easily crucial to point out about this agreement. mrs merkel was asked very specifically by this point and she said no. what happens to the trips into the weapons already in the country will be discussed as part of any future truce negotiation what happens to the troops and to the weapons. all that s been agreed to tonight in berlin is that those foreign powers want to be sending any more support to the warring factions. you can seejust any more support to the warring factions. you can see just how many threads there are to be pulled apart here. but i think pretty much all those delegates will say, this has been an important first step. no one expected the libyan conflicts to be solved overnight here in berlin but the so called berlin process wasn t simply about just starting to de escalate the situation. it s fair to say that for most of the delegates in that room, it s only really in the last few months that they ve started to be very concerned about this conflict and about the knock on effect upon their own countries and in particular, as we have said before, on european countries. this is simply a first step. it will go before the un security council, which means this un weapons embargo, already in place but which has been flouted in recent months should have a bit of a sting should any of those parties decide to flout it again. ok, khalifa 0k, ok,jenny hill ok, jenny hill in berlin for us. borisjohnson has ok, jenny hill in berlin for us. boris johnson has been ok, jenny hill in berlin for us. borisjohnson has been on the silence of those talks in berlin, including his first meeting with russian president latimer putin. the pendants are warned there would be no normalisation of relations with russia until it ended what he called the deepest stabilising used to the destabilising of the uk and its allies. a bbc investigation has seen documents that show how africa s richest woman made herfortune through exploiting her own country and corruption. isabel dos santos is the daughter of the former angolan president, eduardo dos santos. the documents show she got access to lucrative deals involving land, diamonds, oil and telecoms while herfather was in power. ms dos santos has denied any wrongdoing. richard bilton reports. isabel dos santos is africa s richest women. she lives in london with a glamorous life and famous friends. a leak of more than 700,000 documents from her business empire was obtained by the platform to protect whistle blowers in africa, and shared with the international consortium of investigativejournalists. much of isabel dos santos s wealth comes from some very dubious deals. her father is eduardo dos santos, who ruled angola for 38 years. and he followed a pattern he would issue a decree or order, his daughter and her family would get deals on land, telecoms, even for buying and selling angola s diamonds. the documents show, as the years go by, the deals keep coming, and her fortune grows. i think that she got the opportunity to become rich and take the opportunity that her father, by decree, would transfer state assets, state monies, to her. take oil. angola has vast reserves. the state oil company, sonangol, gave isabel dos santos a very good deal on a very valuable asset. she was able to buy a lucrative stake in a portuguese energy company by paying only 15% up front. the rest turned into a loan from sonangol. that deal made her three quarters of a billion euros. that s absolutely the definition of corruption. she was put in a favoured position because she was the daughter of the president. it got worse. the president later made his daughter head of sonangol. she says it was a sensible move. i worked for them as a consultant. then, after i finished my consultancy work, invited me and asked if i would consider a position to become sonangol‘s chairperson. isabel dos santos s lawyers deny all the bbc‘s allegations and say she s been involved in no wrongdoing. they say it s a politically motivated witch hunt by the angolan government and the deal with the energy company earned sonangol money. but her father is no longer president, and angola wants answers. these documents tell the story of where isabel dos santos s fortune really comes from. richard bilton, bbc news, angola. and you can watch more on that story in panorama: the corrupt billionaire which is on bbc one tomorrow night at 8.30pm. the areas of australia worst hit by bushfires are now at risk of flash flooding and power cuts as a result of rainstorms. in the state of victoria, many fires have been put out by the storms but giant hailstones have also damaged property. john donnison reports. in a year of extreme weather, for australians, it doesn t just rain, it pours. hailstones the size of golf balls in the state of victoria. so intense, it shattered roofs. and all this in the middle of summer, as large parts of the country continue to burn. in melbourne, battered by high winds, few can remember such a dramatic shift in weather. such a freak storm. i was watching television, i went into the bedroom and i just looked out the window and the gumtree, which is two stories high, just disappeared. it was a white out at this birthday party, abandoned as people huddled for shelter. and this is a cricket pitch. no chance of a resumption in play any time soon, with more rain and hailforecast in the next 2a hours. but after months of hot temperatures fuelling the devastating fires, this, for many, will be welcome relief. john donnison, bbc news. police have fired water cannon at protesters after rocks were thrown near the parliament building in the lebanese capital, beirut. violence escalated yesterday, with over 400 people injured in clashes between demonstrators and the country s security forces. anti government protests began in october over the struggling economy and allegations of corruption, which led to the resignation of lebanon s prime minister. the space company spacex has successfully carried out a test to determine if its astronaut capsule can be returned safely to earth in an emergency.

fired its escape engines to detach itself. parachutes then brought the capsule to a safe splashdown in the sea. the 6 euros boy who sparked a nine hours or 20 finish from a service station was asleep

immigrants to the uk don t feel they re discriminated against according to new research based on survey data. but those from non eu countries were twice as likely as eu migrants to say they felt they were treated differently because of their ethnicity, nationality or religion. it comes ahead of a report from government advisers that s likely to form the basis of a new post brexit immigration system. our home editor mark easton reports. injune, i received an e mail from bbc. let me just read it to you. i contacted alex last summer because i was interested in his strong views on immigration. mark easton, bbc home editor. after my approach, alex posted a video on youtube to talk about his experiences living in south wales. today, i will be talking about brexit, britain, europe and so on. alex is from latvia and works as a window cleaner. what interested me about his thoughts on being a migrant in britain was how positive he was. we meet at last! yes, that s right! very nice to see you, alex. from the beginning, i was afraid, because you have to interact with people. i have an accent. i have a different opinion of the world. but everything was great. altogether, it s been a fascinating experience. alex is not unusual. nine out of ten eu migrants here say they don t feel they belong to a group that suffers discrimination. the figure is eight out of ten for migrants from further afield. and seven out of ten foreigners in britain say they think the country is welcoming. ijust made the video to point out that i do like britain. it became my home, and i don t have a problem with it. alex isjust a lovely young man, and i m so proud of him. he took a chance, gave up his family, and he just came on the off chance. what s not to be admired? saiful‘s experience of living in britain has not been so positive. a chef from bangladesh also now living in south wales, he says he s a victim of the government s hostile environment wrongly accused by the home office of being a sex offender, his documents lost, mixed up or destroyed. do you feel you have been discriminated against? yes, sir. i feel they treated me as worse than a dog animal because of my race, religion and nationality. i feel that, therefore, they treated me discrimination. despite what a judge described as historic injustice, and an apology from the home secretary, saiful is still facing deportation. i cannot work because of their unfair treatment. saiful has spent 16 years fighting to stay in britain, but the home office insist his work permit has long expired, he has no right to remain and must return to bangladesh. it s interesting. public hostility to immigration, research suggests, has more to do with ethnicity than simply being foreign. for example, uk born children of immigrants are more likely to say they feel discriminated against than new migrants from the eu. the uk appears a welcoming and friendly place. nice to meet you, mark, as well. mark easton, bbc news, south wales. and just to let you know that tomorrow, the bbc will be publishing its online briefing document in which immigration will be under the spotlight. to answer some of your questions in the future of the government s immigration policy, we are going to bejoint in the studio by the director of the migration observatory and reality check correspondent chris morris. to join us correspondent

clear as the week goes on. this is tuesday. pressure still with us. really no rain on it but a lot more cloud around on tuesday. some problems with overnight mist and fog, a cloudier day for many of its also bright or sunny spells, the best of which will be eastern coasts and where that fog is slow clear, again, it s going to be quite a cool day on tuesday. getting close to double figures of cross parts of scotla nd double figures of cross parts of scotland and northern ireland. the lesson was on such a lengthy dry speu lesson was on such a lengthy dry spell was back in september. the

counties of scotland and eglin. temperatures coming down by day. to some of the week, a dried spell for many, some frosty nights at first, gradually turning of the bit milder but also some mist and fog.
welcome to a special edition of hardtalk from the workshop studio of britain s best known, most successful sculptor, sir antony gormley. now even if you don t know his name, you may well have seen his work, because his monumental pieces, put in prominent positions in outdoor spaces, have become some of the world s most famous examples of public art. his inspiration is the human body, in fact, his own body. so what is his work telling us about his relationship with the world around him? antony gormley, thank you so much for inviting us into your studio. i said studio, but it actually feels like a workshop, doesn t it? i think it s a factory. places i mentioned are espresso it s a place where we make things. and things are being made and tested the whole time. very nice to have you. throughout your career, you have focused on the human form, the body, but not so much representative art, more trying to say something else about the body, try to explain that. for me, in the history, certainly, in western art, the body has been always thought of as a representation usually of a hero oi’ of a sexy woman. and i m more interested in the idea of the body as the place we live, our primary habitation. so with something like this, i guess, i m applying to the body, in a sense, the spaces that we usually encounter outside of us as our architectural context. and yet here it is, these open cubes used to both activate but also inhabit a human space in space. it s always so interesting, looking at your work, that it inhabits a space that is actually the sort of space you inhabit, i mean, it s the same height as you. was this, like so much of your work, drawn from an initial sort of scan or impression of your own physical self? yes, absolutely. every body work starts from a capturing of a lived moment of human time. and i work with my own body as, in a way, the closest bit of the material world there is, to me, and, furthermore, i inhabit it. i can work on it from the inside, from what it feels like. and i think that s the radical, in a way, proposition of the work that here is something that starts, in a way, with experience, with a moment of captured being, rather than appearance and the distance between an artist and a model. i want to, if we may, just move around the studio workshop a little bit, because it gives me a sense of how you work. for example, here we got what i guess is a classic metal drill. a nice drilling, a pillar drill. we re very we rely on bits of stuff like this. this is a bit of kit made in britain, probably in the mid 30s. this comes from the heartland of british engineering. but you know what s funny, the last time i saw a bit of kit like this was in a blacksmith‘s. and itjust strikes me that here you are, you know, the famous artist, but actually day to day you and your team are wielding tools, you re crafting materials. yeah, ithink. how do you there s a sort of duality there, how do you do the sort of physical labour, the technical stuff, but also apply your imagination, your dreams to all of that? but i think that s what artists and art has always done, it s used the available materials and methods of making to, yeah, transform things, perhaps. this material, for example, is common to us. we see it in every bit of engineering, but now it s being used for something else. and i think the same is true of this. and this is where the drilling machine comes in, because there s probably 2000 holes that have been drilled in this which have then been riveted together, to the point where you actually know how this thing is put together at all. no, i wouldn t have a clue looking at it. but what i do know, looking at a lot of your work, is that there is an extraordinary work of labour in it and some of it is on a vast scale and i m thinking now about how your career has evolved, you know, from being a struggling young artist in a small studio on your own to this vast sort of workshop that you ve got with a team of people. how different does it feel now? i think that everything that begins and finishes here begins and ends with my engagement. so that part of it hasn t changed. i think that in the beginning it was me and vicken, my wife, who still works here in the studio. now this creative tribe, essentially, you know, there s about 20 of us, all of whom or the majority of whom are artists, they ve got their own studios, we evolve this work together. and later on today we will be looking at the latest ideas for the next show, which will be in spring in paris, together and really juice it. one thing that strikes me as different, though, i know you said once that in the early days of your work you would end the day physically knackered, having been beating metal and mixing plaster all day, you went to bed exhausted. now, because you ve scaled up and you do have this team with you, you don t have quite the same physical investment in each and every piece. and ijust wonder if that changes it sort of makes you more detached when you look at the work? i don t think i m any more detached from the work. however, the confusion between emotional involvement and the amount of energy and effort has ceased. and i think i m able to be considerably more demanding on the work and i think that is the result of two things. i think it s the result of experience, but also this thing of learning how to make, learning how to make things that cohere, learning how to things that will last a long time. i mean, many of the works that we make are cast. they usually take about 53 seconds or under 53 seconds to cast, from the latest and most fragile material to something that will last 1000 years. well, i m very proud of that. and we ve evolved that ability to manipulate material over the last a0 years. i say ‘we‘ now, because it isn t just me beating lead, it s me smelting iron at 1300 celsius. and a final thought for here, because i know we re going to talk more in your studio, but how easy is it for you to, as we sort of wander through and look at all of the materials and there s the vices and the drills and the work desks, and over here we ve got all the sort of stray pieces of wood that you ve used and there s, i know, stacks of metal rods all over, how easy is it for you, here, to imagine what your pieces are going to look like when they re in situ, so very far from this workshop, from central london, some of them end up in public spaces in cities, some end up on beaches and hilltops, how do you, in your mind, imagine the final result? i have to say, stephen, that the diagnosis of site is as important, in a way, that capturing a feeling in the body. and the best results come from a marriage between the two. so, i ve just done a big show at the ra, we just spent four years trying to understand those volumes and what made them special, and obviously the most incredible thing that makes them special is their height and the fact that they re blessed with natural light. and that s what i tried to honour. i mean, basically i was attempting to energise these spaces and i think that a good exhibition, but also a good permanent placement of sculpture, is one in which you can t think of the place without the object and you can t think of the object without its site. what is expected of us as a viewer when looking at one of these things? well, i want to talk about that more. these are still objects that invite us to look around. yeah. yeah, think about how they re made. in fact, you were saying, it doesn t really well, you can t appreciate what i m trying to say unless you move around. no, exactly. and that is the mystery and magic of sculpture to me. here is this still, silent thing that encourages us to move. and in moving our bodies to move our minds. right. and i think, you know, in an age in which, you know, we live in a digital age, in a cyber society in which the appearance and images are so instant and so cheap and so instantly obsolescent, so what is it that sculpture gives you? it gives you a time and a place that is still. but you could argue that you are fighting against the spirit of the age. no, because these couldn t have been made without digital technology. ah, well, there s a twist to the tale. i want to take you back to the roots of your artistic sensibility. where would you place them? i suppose, you know, age six, at home in hampstead garden suburb, messing about with drawing and painting and immediately, i think, making things, and particularly making messes. and then, i guess, being taken by my dad to his favourite painting at the national gallery, which was piero della francesca s the nativity. because your dad was a real art lover. yeah, he was. it mattered to him. it mattered a lot. i mean it was strange, we didn t have that many original paintings in the house, but we did have, you know, every reproduction of a fra filippo lippi or fra angelico. the fra angelico annunciation was in my bedroom. interesting that you mention that, because there s a lot of religiosity in your family as well. i mean, a deep catholic faith and they sent you off to a catholic boarding school. and as a kid were you a believer? did you see yourself as. i think i was intensely engaged, if you like, in the imaginative promise of catholicism. so the idea of being in a state of grace or being in a state of sin was something that possessed me. and i used to have nightmares about the state of my soul. i would see this soul, it was like a great big damp thing with terrible kind of spots in it that would haunt me at night. it was, yeah, a terrifying thing, i think, to a young and imaginative person to have, as it were, the heaven and hell dialectic really kind of dumped on you. but then, when i look at your work, and what you say about it, and what you demand of your audience, your viewers, it seems to me that there s a different kind of sort of spiritual feeling, it s much more contemplative, it demands silence and almost meditation. which makes me wonder, you know, did you move away from catholicism, and i know you spent some time in india, did you come close to embracing, i don t know, buddhism, that style of spirituality? absolutely. i found. if you just compare the two icons, the icon of the crucifixion, the body in suffering, and the icon of the buddha, the buddha in meditation, i think you have there a very good illustration of why i was drawn to buddhism. the idea that it isn t somebody else‘s horrendous and tortured death that is going to redeem you, it s you coming to terms with your own consciousness. and, yeah, certainly my time in india was absolutely critical to everything that i have done since. that experience, clearly, from the point of view of your contemplative character, was very important to you. you come back, you commit to art, you go to art school, remerge, start working but you are struggling. for quite a long time you really struggle to make ends meet. yeah, i mean, i didn t have a gallery in london until 1991. i didn t really show much in london until 1993, so it was.those early years were problematic. i was lucky enough i had a teaching position. i told taught two days a week at brighton college of art in the sculpture department and that was enough to live on. i just wonder whether there was a part of you that found the art world and commercialising your work and selling it, and in a sense selling yourself, quite difficult. your own brother ijust noticed your own brother had talked about this and he said, my reading of what was happening was that he found it difficult having a marketing man controlling his work. he could have gone about his career very differently but he was adamant he wanted to be his own master and, in doing so, he was, in a way, uncommercial. was that true of you for a while? yeah, i think i was approached by galleries that i refused to work with because i felt that i was being made to perform in a culture industry, and i wanted the work to be exploratory. i also wanted it to be my project. i really am thankful for that. i have not been, as it were, assumed into the canon of whatever is fashionable and the work has been an evolution in itself. that is really interesting that you say you never sought or desired to be fashionable but, in a funny sort of way, you have become fashionable. these days, antony gormley projects are big news, and the major exhibition you havejust had in london, and sort of huge publicity, vast numbers of people went to see it, you are now extremely fashionable in a way. i am not sure i am fashionable. i am really encouraged by the response that the royal academy show has had. absolutely extraordinary to see how engaged people were and ijust. well, i am so thankful for the fact that i have not been, as it were, commodified and that, actually, that early instinct that i had that, rather than putting a work in a gallery, ijust wanted to put it by the seashore, in west wittering, you know, near my childhood kind of summer home, and see what it did and then see what it did for me and for other people walking by, and that is still to me, you do not need a gallery. it is an extraordinary thing. you make something, you put it in the world and you see what happens. that is so interesting about some of your most famous work it is truly public art. whether we re talking about the angel of the north, which is more than 20 metres high and looms over the north east of england, or whether we re talking about the amazing 100 strong group of men staring out to sea over crosby, in the north west of england this is public art. but i wonder what. who asked for art to be privatised? why do we think of that as the norm for art? art is a gift. i am amazed that i am allowed to live the life that i live. i want to share it and art does not make any sense. but you have to compromise. if you are thinking to yourself, this is not art that people are going to pay to come see, make a choice about coming to see, it is just going to be there if they happen to be in the vicinity. do you have to compromise to make it appealed to the widest possible audience? no, i do it because i have to do it. i hope that it will make a connection with people. i hope that it does deal with the big issues, you know, body and space, life and death, darkness and light, really simple, these are the poles in which our consciousness resides. i want to engage people with that. there is no compromise. you have always said that you expect quite a lot from your viewers, your audience. you do not want art to be easy, you want it to actually be challenging and maybe even difficult. does that apply to everything you do? i mean, the angel of the north, for example, is that difficult? i think the angel of the north is a unique experiment. here is a community that has been told it has no future. the old post industrial north east of england. the end of coal mining and shipbuilding was dying and, in fact, within three years, swan hunter had closed. so the question that i asked myself was, is it possible to make a work that can be the focus of collective hope for the future? and yes, it is totemic. it goes to a premodern idea of an object. almost like a totem pole, that talks about the continuity of a community. it strikes me that, with the kind of recognition and popularity that came with angel of the north, and another place, the piece in merseyside on the seashore, you fell into that thing which seems to me sometimes happens to artists that, when they become really celebrated and awarded and everything else, there are critics who then say, they are bland, they have ceased to challenge, they have fallen into a trap of seeking popularity, when critics and some do say that of you. there is an absolute difference between popular and populist . the fact that people engage with my work, so far as i am concerned, is a tribute to its relevance. i think we live in a very strange world in which, in a way, the recondite in art has become sellable because its difficulty and uniqueness is somehow a selling point for certain areas of the market. i am not interested in those games at all. i think the space of art is precious to us in a time in which both religion and politics have failed in terms of allowing us to be contributors to a collective future. do you feel that some of your work maybe is getting increasingly political? personally, i looked at, for example, a couple of your works the extraordinary image of those statues looking out to sea in merseyside and then the piece i think is called host, at the royal academy, with the seawater, an expanse of seawater put into the exhibition with a distance doorway but a sense of perhaps the sea flooding or inundating human creation. i read it as something that could be about sort of man s vulnerability to climate change, to changes around us. am i right? i mean, am i right to see sort of messages in some of the work? message i think is putting it too heavily. i wanted to bring the outside in. i wanted the primal, elemental conditions of life to be brought within the context of culture. here is the unformed, here is sea, mud and air presented i removed all electricity from that room and we were invited to have a relationship with that. in a digital age, that is important. this is the place out of which we came and these are the elements that have fallen in the age of the anthropocene, into our hands as really those responsible for the future of this planet. it has never happened before that the activity of one species has destabilised the geological era of our time. and i think that there is, when i say, that the space of art becomes precious, i think that final room in the ra was just asking us to think about our position, think about our position in time and space and our responsibility to the future. in that sense, do you think art can deliver cultural, political change? can it change anything? i do not think it can deliver it, it can simply provide the space, the resonating chamber in which perhaps the will to be creatively responsible for, as it were, the future can arise. that is what i hope, that is what i believe that art s primary purpose is now. and i think the extraordinary thing that we have seen in the last 30 years is that britain has a somewhat resistant culture, primarily a literary culture, has blossomed into the most extraordinary and globally recognised visual culture, and i think that is because art is now dealing with life. it is dealing with not itself and its own language. the 20th century was a time of isms, in which art celebrated in a way, its ability to speak many languages. i think the 21st century is the time in which art begins to really focus on life and its evolution. antony gormley thank you very much for inviting us into your studio. stephen, thank you for coming. it has been a real pleasure. thank you so much. hello. for much of england, wales and southern scotland, it s a cold and frosty start to monday. also some problems with fog, particularly across wales, north west england and the midlands. we have already seen some poor visibility in places through the first part of the night. another thing of note is that the pressure reading across parts of wales has exceeded 1050 millibars and is continuing to rise. that s the highest it s been since 1957. this area of high pressure is the dominant feature in the week ahead, bringing a lot of dry weather. this frontal system will bring some outbreaks of rain into northern scotland later on monday. but we start monday, for many, cold, frosty, temperatures as low as 6 or 7 across parts of southern england. close to freezing for northern england, southern scotland and northern ireland. eight or nine for the far north of scotland. and for scotland and northern ireland, monday is a cloudy, breezy day. some of that cloud extending to northern england and some of them mist and fog could be slow to clear. further spells of sunshine across a large sway of england and wales. light winds for many. away from northern and western scotland, those touch 55 mph. 10 11 celsius for the far north of scotland. close to freezing where any fog is close to clearing. the cloud thickening across northern and western scotland. it runs into an area of high pressure and the rain will tend to fizzle out. clearer skies further south still with mist and fog. a frosty start to tuesday for much of central and southern england but not as cold as sunday night. this is how tuesday shapes up, high pressure still very much in charge. this system running into the area of high pressure and rain will fizzle out. more cloud arriving into northern england and the midlands. a cloudy, breezy day across northern ireland and a much cloudier day for most of us on tuesday. temperatures not much higher than six or seven celsius. wednesday, longer, spell for much of the uk. wednesday, longer, dry spell for much of the uk. it does not mean sunny weather. a good deal of cloud around on wednesday. feeding in a lot of moisture with mist and s and poor visibility. best chance of anything brighter in eastern coasts. to sum up the week ahead, a lot of dry weather. frosty nights. a bit of sunshine but generally a lot of cloud and further problems with mist and fog. goodbye. i m rico hizon in singapore, the headlines: prince harry speaks publicly for the first time since the announcement he and meghan will start a new life in canada without their royal titles. 0nce meghan and i were married, we were excited, we were hopeful and we were here to serve. for those reasons, it brings me great sadness that it has come to this. it brings me great sadness that it has come to this. the decision for me and my wife to stand back is one i not make lightly. it comes after many months and many years of challenges. lebanon s capital is hit by some of the worst violence since demonstrations against the ruling elite began in october. i m lewis vaughanjones in london.

asked by the authorities. duncan, thank you very much indeed. please have confirmed they are treating this as a terrorist incident, one man strapped to make a shot here in stratham at 2pm this afternoon. three people in hospital, one with life threatening injuries. police are saying tonight there was a device found strapped to the body of the man who was shot by those plainclothes officers, that device turned out to be a hoax device. but we are expecting a police statement, a news conference from scotland yard in the next few minutes. but for now, let s go to all the latest sports news

final, england have been beaten in the six nations championship, 24 17 by france in paris. they had been 21r 0 down and two jonny may tries at least saw them earn a losing bonus pont, but that will be very little consolation. our sports correspodnent andy swiss was at the match. they had arrived with such confidence, but the england fans flocking to paris were in for an almighty shock. a wall of noise and a sea of french flags and the hosts were utterly inspired. five minutes gone and vincent rattez darted over, the start of a dream first half for france and england s worst nightmare. france s six nations bursts into life. anything that could go wrong pretty much did. charles ollivon galloping through for a second try. england seemed shell shocked. when the french skipper went over again after the break, england were 21r 0 down and facing humiliation. finally, though, they stirred. well, jonny may certainly did with two stunning individual tries. if the first was special, well, just watch the second. for the second almost the entire almost the entire french team left trailing in his wake. and suddenly it was 24 14. was the comeback on? well, no, as france held on, and after that world cup final, for england yet more heartache. i don t think it is due to mentalfatigue, no. we were unbelievably excited to get back together and look, this result‘s not gone our way. we have a short turnaround now to scotland. we need to get excited about that. well, this was some match, but for england, that will be precious little consolation. their six nations campaign has begun in desperate disappointment. andy swiss, bbc news, paris. we saw all three matches in the opening round of the women s six nations today. emily scarratt sealed the victory for england against france, running half the length of the field as the the reigning champions won 19 13 in paris. ireland had to fight off a late comeback from scotland, but ran out 18 14 winners in a close fought battle in

spurs made them pay. joe lysnkey reports. pep guardiola s made his own mark on british football. both he and jose mourinho have been planar coaches. but this year, the premier league has had its greatest change var. it brought an incident in this match hardly seen before. here, city s sergio aguero went down in the box. the referee said no penalty, but the game drifted certainly for two minutes before this. the video assistance had watched the replays and said foul. but perhaps the weight and the novelty got to build a condo in. his penalty was saved, but the challenge on the rebound brought another check. this time, no foul. that was the peak of the first half aware city should have scored. soon they would have even more regrets. first, alexander was was sent off. then with a man advantage, spurs worked the ball to their brand new stryker. this is steven burgoyne, a dutchman on debut showing why he s worth £27 million. and having weather to storm, spurs we re and having weather to storm, spurs were inspired. their best win of the season, crowned by arguably their best player, 2 0. their season has lost direction for city, they are now 22 points off the top. this was a game that swung on this bleak‘s latest technology and newest star. dolinsky, bbc news. he had all week to train, he had all week to speak, to train, he had all week to speak, to learn the way we

the top of the table, liverpool remain 22 points clear after city s defeat. if they keep on waiting, they will go against on 22 march. tottenham nowjust four points off the champions league places, chelsea in 4th and spurs head to stamford bridge later this month. you can see arsenal there in tenth, they were at burnley today. no goals at turf moor. the hosts had the better chances, jay

australia won yesterday s game yesterday, they get double points and so were awarded the overall win. that s not fair, is it?
