5:02 am
after a dramatic final day to complete a comeback that few thought possible. they had ever witnessed. within moments of clinching victory, the congratulations started pouring in — tennis superstar serena williams tweeting that she was in tears, adding, greatness like no other. former president barack obama not something many would have tweeted his support saying predicted during woods‘ darkest congratulations tiger —to comeback and win after all the highs and lows days. ramzan karmali, bbc news. was a testement to excellence, grit and determination. 00:02:17,009 --> 2147483051:37:53,219 ramzan karmali has more 2147483051:37:53,219 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 on those highs and lows we will be looking at some of the reaction in the global media. we also want to hear your stories. get in touch. it caused chaos to thousands of passengers before christmas, but a boss at gatwick airport says whoever was responsible for the drone problems knew about the airport‘s procedures. the drone operator still hasn‘t been caught but the airport says whoever it was seemed to be able to "see what was happening on the runway". 0ur transport correspondent tom burridge has this exclusive report. who inflicted misery on tens of thousands of passengers in gatwick and beyond just before christmas is still a mystery but bbc news has
5:03 am
found out new details about the tactics of the drone operator at the airport‘s only runway was closed for more than 30 hours. we‘ve now learnt that a security officer made the first sightings. he spotted two drones at the edge of the airfield, close to this bus stop. all flights were suspended. three hours later, the drones had disappeared. but when a team went out to inspect the runway, a standard procedure before reopening, a drone was suddenly back, and that pattern was repeated throughout the next day. each time these vehicles went out to prepare the runway to reopen, a drone would, as if by magic, reappear over the airfield again. someone seemed to understand how an airport operates and could even see what was going on. gatwick, in its first interview since the incident, suggests whoever was operating the drones had inside knowledge. the drone attack was clearly a malicious attack. and by virtue of the way that they operated, they clearly had some idea of how airports work
5:04 am
and had some intelligence as to what we were doing. that has always been a line of enquiry for sussex police who has a station at the airport. a drone expert who used to be in the raf and now advises the government and the airport, says there is a likely theory. is evident someone didn't wa nt to theory. is evident someone didn't want to be caught. i think the probability is towards the individual conducting something he felt was having to go back at an organisation, perhaps he had some sort of beef with. once the military had set up counter—drone equipment on top of the south terminal, the number of drone sightings dropped significantly. gatwick has defended closing the airport for so long. safety, it says, must come first. since the incident, uk airports
5:05 am
including gatwick have been investing in new equipment like this radar developed in the netherlands. most drones are too small for standard radar. this one can pick them up and inferentially ate them from birds. it was used to protect world leaders at the g20 last summer and demonstrated to us that this ——at this dutch military airport. —— airbase. ringing a drone down can be risky, hacking it orjamming it hard. gatwick has exposed just how vulnerable to drones a lot of places are. airports are actually one of the most difficult areas to protect. that has to do with the collateral damage that intervention methods could lead to. only an innocent couple has been arrested for what happened at gatwick. sussex police says more than 100 people, mainly airport staff and police officers, saw the drones. it hasn‘t released a video of them because it says the footage is such poor quality. tom burridge, bbc news, at gatwick. let‘s brief you on some of the other stories
5:06 am
making the news. the transitional military council in sudan has arrested members of the former government suspected of corruption. but protesters continue their sit—in outside sudan‘s army headquarters, demanding the immediate appointment of a civilian administration. a government spokesperson said it is willing to work with opposition groups to find a new prime minister following the ousting of long—time leader 0mar al—bashir last week. the international committee of the red cross is appealing for news of three staff members abducted in north—west syria more than five years ago. a new zealand nurse and two syrian drivers were trying to deliver medical help. the icrc says it knows that the nurse was seen alive late last year. the two syrian drivers have not been heard of since the abduction. the former malaysian prime minister najib razak has returned to court to stand trial on charges linked to a multi billion dollar scandal at state fund imdb.
5:07 am
in all he faces 42 corruption charges across three further trials this year relating to imdb — charges he has denied the president of ecuador has accused julian assange of trying to turn their london embassy into a "centre for spying". the wikileaks co—founder had spent nearly seven years living in the embassy before being thrown out last week. assange‘s lawyer has called the president‘s allegations "outrageous". after two years, japan is finally taking up president trump‘s offer for bilateral trade talks, which will begin later today in washington. japanese prime minister shinzo abe is keen to avoid tariffs onjapanese cars which washington has threatened. stephanie hare, an independent analyst, joins me now.
5:08 am
give us your take on these countries. holding bilateral trade talks, important to both. what do you think might happen? we have us president donald trump saying that the deal so far between these two countries and the way that they trade is profoundly unfair. that‘s isn‘t as usable. donald trump always thinks the united states is being treated unfairly due to arrangements by his predecessors. will try to renegotiate stop japan wants to by his predecessors. will try to renegotiate stopjapan wants to keep this quite limited. they want to do a deal on goods. the us wants to make it broader and so that‘s going to be the thing. we have a disagreement on timescales. japan is like there is no way we can do something that‘s short and the us
5:09 am
thinks we can do something quickly. it's thinks we can do something quickly. it‘s about scale, timeframe and we need to bear in mind that trade deals take on average of seven yea rs. deals take on average of seven years. we‘re just getting started. as you are talking, just reminding myself that to what extent the raack 0bama really woo‘d japan. —— barack. how different is this relationship? that‘s a really good point. the president of the eu injapan already have a trade deal injapan. the us needs to balance and correct that relationship with japan and the fact it chose not to be part of the ttp, largely because donald trump doesn‘t like anything barack obama did, possibly hurt the us. whatever they agree now will probably be far more limited in scope and will publish —— possibly help the us less. if it ta kes possibly help the us less. if it takes another seven years, it probably won‘t even happen until donald trump, if re—elected, is out of office. we are just getting started. stephanie is back later. we have the news briefing coming up to
5:10 am
look at the global media. stick around for that. in the meantime, talking about what‘s going on in finland. finland‘s social democratic party has claimed a narrow victory in sunday‘s general election, with most votes counted. its leader, antti rinne, is likely to become the country‘s first left—wing prime minister in twenty years. the party is set to have one more seat than the far right, anti—immigration finns party. freya cole has the latest. a narrow victory, but a victory all the same, for finland‘s social democratic party. its leader, antti rimme, will soon become the country‘s first left wing prime minister in 20 years. crowd cheering. with most of the votes counted, the former union boss claimed victory in front of an adoring crowd. it means a finland that has solidarity, it has equality and it has beaten the racist wave that we have had. and, this is the most important thing.
5:11 am
but thejubilation may be short lived. mr rimme‘s ability to govern will be hampered by a rise in far right anti—immigration sentiment. the social democrats claimed 17.8% of the vote, but close behind, the nationalist finns party. it wants tighter borders and less spending on welfare and climate change. it has to be taken into consideration that less than six months ago we were at 8%, we are now more at 15%. because the results are so close, negotiations to form a coalition government will be a headache for the new leader. and the outcome is being watched closely in brussels. the strong result for the finns party could set the stage for a nationalist resurgence in next month‘s european election, changing the balance of power in the european parliament for years to come. freya cole, bbc news.
