sport centre, here's marc. let's start with football. there's one match in the premier league this evening, and it's manchester city playing their game in hand over the two teams currently above them in table. they host brentford. the defending champions will leapfrog arsenal into second with a win, while brentford have lost ten of their last 13 league games. however, pep guardiola refuses to see this as an easy match — particulalry when their only defeat in the past 37 top flight home games came in this exact fixture last season. you'll make you demand us all the time. we you'll make you demand us all the time. w. ., time. we achieve what we achieve, we have to note — time. we achieve what we achieve, we have to note that _ time. we achieve what we achieve, we have to note that -- _ time. we achieve what we achieve, we have to note that -- live _ time. we achieve what we achieve, we have to note that -- live with - time. we achieve what we achieve, we have to note that -- live with that, - have to note that —— live with that, we know that. your comments in the past and the last month, you've been wrong. we know how difficult it is, we know it. so we know it, you choose to believe it's easy, not us. it's up to us again to go there and

beat _ it's up to us again to go there and beat city, — it's up to us again to go there and beat city, but we need to believe that we _ beat city, but we need to believe that we can do it because if you don't believe you can do it, then there's_ don't believe you can do it, then there's no— don't believe you can do it, then there's no reason for us to turn up. so every— there's no reason for us to turn up. so every game we go into, we believe we can_ so every game we go into, we believe we can do— so every game we go into, we believe we can do something, get something out of. _ we can do something, get something out of. and _ we can do something, get something out of, and essentially believe. we are playing — out of, and essentially believe. we are playing against, many have said it, they— are playing against, many have said it, they are — are playing against, many have said it, they are the best team right now in the _ it, they are the best team right now in the world — it appears kylian mbappe's destination is the one we all expected. the ps6 forward has agreed to join real madrid at the end of the season when his contract with the french club expires. no deal has yet been signed with real, but it's thought it'll be for five years. it could be announced once it is no longer possible for the clubs to meet in this season's champions league. mainly it's the glory, and the titles. when they come here, they know that his image, his reputation will be broadcast all around the

world. i know that kylian mbappe in this case is already well known, but when they come to real madrid, the image is strengthened much more. andreas brehme, who scored the goal that won the world cup for west germany in 1990, has died at the age of 63. his winning penalty in the final against argentina was one of eight international goals, the full—back scored and made him an instant german hero. brehme won 86 caps for his country and also won bundesliga titles with both bayern munich and kaiserslauten, as well as winning serie a in italy while at inter milan. it has been a tough start to 2024 for andy murray who is currently in action at the qatar open he has lost his last six singles matches stretching back to the start of october last year. he's up against france's alexandre muller — the player he beat on the way to reaching the final here last year. he beat miller on the weight to reach the final last year, sitting 25 places below. he was out of the

trap taking 6—1, muller was leading in the time break dust tie—break, the former rule number one coming back to nguyen and his first win of 20 24. success for dan evans who is made it into the last 16 of the loss, was openin into the last 16 of the loss, was open in mexico. after heb be another brit, drapertaking open in mexico. after heb be another brit, draper taking the first set 6-4 but brit, draper taking the first set 6—4 but lost the second two. in brazil, cameron norrie started the defence of israel open title with a routine straight sets win over hugo dellien. cameron norrie has slipped out of the worlds top 20 after a first—round defeat in argentina last week. that's all your support for now, back to you. thank you very much. some breaking news to bring to you from the home office — it'sjust

announced that the chief inspector of borders and immigration, david neal, has been sacked after he breached the terms of appointment and lost the confidence of the home secretary. no we don't have a huge amount of detail but we do have a statement from the home office and will read it out to you. it says, "we have terminated the appointment of david neal. the independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, after he breached the terms of appointment and lost the confidence of the home secretary. the appointment process for the next minister is in progress." it says that mr neal was informed that his appointment would be immediately terminated on tuesday — in fact his tenure was actually do to end on 22 march, of course a key role working with the home secretary, james cleverly, not least because prime minister rishi sunak has made immigration and controlling immigration and controlling immigration numbers a key part of his pledges. more on that story when

we get the details. members of an elite sas civilian had deliberately killed civilians in afghanistan. johnny mercer told the inquiry that there was a pallor and odour around the special forces unit. for more, let's speak to jonathan beale who is at the high court. just bring us up—to—date with what we've been hearing today. so as ou sa , what we've been hearing today. so as you say. this — what we've been hearing today. so as you say. this is _ what we've been hearing today. so as you say, this is all _ what we've been hearing today. so as you say, this is all about _ what we've been hearing today. so as you say, this is all about the - you say, this is all about the allegation of what an sas unit, individuals in that unit did in afghanistan between the years 2000 — 12 when they were carrying out night raids, detention operations, and the allegation is that they deliberately targeted fighting age males who were not armed, and killed them. that's

the allegation. nowjohnny mercer, if your member has been a soldier himself, he heard these rumours when he was a soldier, saying when he was an mp and started campaigning against those legal claims against soldiers over what he called a vexatious claims about war crimes, alleged war crimes in iraq and afghanistan, he tried to stop that but in this case, he said he was troubled. he was troubled about the allegations against the sas, and as an mp, a number of officers came to him and told him about their concerns too. now there was nothing specific, no specific allegations of war crimes in evidence he gave, but he talked about trying to get to the bottom of all this under the instructions of the then defence secretary ben wallace, john mercer said he talked to the head of the army, the director of special forces at the time, they both said that these allegations had been

investigated, butjohnny mercer said to ben wallace that something stinks — for example, "where's the video that would've been taken from the air from those soldiers patrolling and carrying out those operations?" there was none, saying that was suspicious. so a lot of questions, not many answers in this evidence, and clearly the inquiry is appealing for more people to come forward, more people who know about this or may know about this to give evidence. because there is that kind of murmur around the special forces. could you give us more about the terms of this inquiry, what it's trying to find out and who else it'll be speaking to? so essentially this inuui it'll be speaking to? so essentially this inquiry is _ it'll be speaking to? so essentially this inquiry is trying _ it'll be speaking to? so essentially this inquiry is trying to _ it'll be speaking to? so essentially this inquiry is trying to establish i this inquiry is trying to establish whether there were unlawful killings, extrajudicial killings on unarmed civilians in afghanistan by british forces. it's then asking the

question, was there a cover up? and thirdly, was the investigation carried out at the time by the royal military police adequate and proper? those are the questions this inquiry will ask, and they will take evidence over a period of months. and to be honest, a lot of the evidence will be held behind closed doors because it will involve people who have served or are serving in special forces, who have served or are serving in specialforces, and who have served or are serving in special forces, and we will not be able to listen to it. but there will be other politicians appearing, like ben wallace, so there will be moments when we get a glimpse into what's going on, but we will probably have to wait months before this inquiry is over.— this inquiry is over. johnny beall, who set the _ this inquiry is over. johnny beall, who set the court _ this inquiry is over. johnny beall, who set the court for _ this inquiry is over. johnny beall, who set the court for us. - a last—ditch appeal by the wikileaks founder, julian assange, against extradition to the united states is being heard at the high court in london.

mr assange, who's an australian citizen, is wanted in the us for leaking classified military documents over a decade ago. lawyers for mr assange say he's too ill to attend the two day hearing. there were hundreds of protesters outside the court banging drums to chants of "free assange". an number of an "unprecedented" number of women are being investigated by police investigated by police on suspicion of illegally ending their pregnancy — that's according to two of britain's biggest abortion providers. the bbc has found evidence that women who have had natural pregnancy losses have also come under investigation suspected of having an illegal abortion. divya talwar reports.

sammy was seven months pregnant when she says she started feeling unwell. i had a bit of back ache. i think i'm having the baby. and then, not even 10—15 minutes later, he's here. he was blue, he was lifeless. the paramedic on the phone talked me through cpr. sammy and her baby were taken to hospital. she says the next thing she remembers is the police arresting her husband. both of them are placed under investigation, suspected of trying to illegally end the pregnancy. we were just treated like criminals from the get go, really. when she found out she was pregnant, sammy says she had initially wanted a termination. abortion is legal in britain before 2a weeks of pregnancy. sammy thought she was well within the legal limit, but says staff at the abortion clinic told her she was over the cut—off. i broke down. i couldn't believe i was, well, near enough 26. sammy says she was honest with police and hospital staff about wanting an abortion,

even told them that she looked for pills but never bought or took them. but after the premature delivery, police suspected an illegal abortion may have been attempted. though her baby survived, she's faced a year—long investigation. my mental health, obviously, that's declined in the last year. abortion providers say that since 2020, a growing number of women are facing criminal investigations on suspicion of illegally ending a pregnancy. we're probably talking about 50 to 60 who are falling under active criminal investigation, but that compares to pretty well zero before 2018. they want to see abortion fully decriminalised. there's fierce opposition to that. i think that if you don't have the possibility - of prosecution and if you don't have the possibility _ of some sort of sentence, _ then you're in danger of having more of these cases and not fewer. we do need a deterrent. sammy recently received

a call from police, who told her the investigation had been dropped. the force who handled her case told us that a thorough investigation was necessary to safeguard all involved. they said no further action would be taken against sammy nor her partner. ijust burst out into tears. i couldn't believe what i was hearing after all these months, all these weeks of not knowing. i wouldn't wish it upon anybody. divya talwar, bbc news. let's speak to journalist melanie mcdonagh, who has written widely about this topic and believes abortion should not be fully decriminalised. melanie, why do you believe that? because i think that late abortions are dangerous for the mother after 24 are dangerous for the mother after 2a weeks to self administer — it's

tremendously dangerous, you're effectively giving birth to a late—term baby in your own home, and i think that anything we can to to discourage that must be done. and i think also we have to take the rights of the foetus into account as well, because we are talking about a baby at quite an advanced stage of gestation at that point. and if it were a wanted child, 2a weeks, it would be put straight into a neonatal ward and given the option of palliative care if it was unlikely to survive, or else neonatal support if it could survive. and the chance of surviving 24 weeks is good. so i think we can't discount this equation that the foetus does have a claim to rights and respect, and that what you're advocating here is something that very much isn't in the interest of the mother. i that very much isn't in the interest of the mother.— of the mother. i mean this is of course a very — of the mother. i mean this is of course a very divisive _ of the mother. i mean this is of course a very divisive subject, i course a very divisive subject, and there are passionate arguments on

both sides of this debate — but do you actually think that custodial sentences for women who would effectively be criminalised for having an abortion would actually help them or be in the public interest. i help them or be in the public interest. ~ �* , , ., interest. i think it's up to the 'udue in interest. i think it's up to the judge in those _ interest. i think it's up to the judge in those cases. - interest. i think it's up to the judge in those cases. the - interest. i think it's up to the i judge in those cases. the judge interest. i think it's up to the - judge in those cases. the judge will have heard all the circumstances of the individual, of the woman, and he or she would be in a position to decide what the appropriate sentence is. so for instance, where there's been a by an abusive partner, then obviously the custodial sentence would be quite wrong, and a minimal sentence would be right in that case. right through to... who i think came to seven weeks pregnant when actually she was 32—34 weeks pregnant and deliberately sought abortion pills on that basis. now i think the real problem here is self

self—evident, to say that there was a change in the way the abortion tablets were prescribed during the pandemic in 2020, and that was made legalfor pandemic in 2020, and that was made legal for everybody pandemic in 2020, and that was made legalfor everybody in pandemic in 2020, and that was made legal for everybody in 2022. and that means that anybody can get a telephone prescription before an abortion happened, it can be sent over the phone without any medic having seen the woman concerned. if you have a practitioner who is ashley talking to the woman, who'd seen the woman, he or she would be able to tell whether the pregnancy is able to survive or not and whether it's safe to give that tablet to take to home. i whether it's safe to give that tablet to take to home. i have to sto ou tablet to take to home. i have to stop you there. _ tablet to take to home. i have to stop you there, thank _ tablet to take to home. i have to stop you there, thank you - tablet to take to home. i have to stop you there, thank you for - stop you there, thank you for sharing your thoughts, there are many people who share a very different view, we heard some of those in the report there, but thank you for sharing your perspective here on bbc news site thank you. a last—ditch appeal by the wikileaks founder, julian assange, against extradition

to the united states is being heard at the high court in london. nicky schiller is at the court in central london for us. this is the first of two days of evidence here at the high court. julian assange himself was too ill to attend either in person or via video link from bell marsh jail, where video link from bell marshjail, where he's been video link from bell marsh jail, where he's been held for the last five years. his lawyers are trying to stop him being extradited to the united states on espionage charges after wikileaks published lots of secret documents back in 2010. now his lawyers argue that this case is politically motivated and he shouldn't be persecuted and prosecuted for doing his job as a journalist. during the course of the evidence today, his lawyers also alleged that there was a cia plot to either kidnap or assassinate him when he was in the ecuadorian embassy, during donald trump's presidency. after the hearing ended today, i managed to speak tojulian assange's father and asked him how

sunak addressed the union members amid rising pressures forfarmers, as they struggle with rising costs, low supermarket prices, and a new post—brexit farm payments scheme that many say has focused on environmental policy overfood productivity. mr sunak said £220 million will be put into new food productivity schemes, farm technology and automation to "reduce reliance on overseas workers" during the next financial year. let's get some reaction to the announcement now. joining me is abi reader, a farmer and deputy president of the national farmers' union of wales — and bizza walters, a farmer and member of the national federation of young farmers club. abby, you are a dairy farmer, and you are a sheep and arable farmer. welcome to bbc news. we've been talking throughout the last few weeks on bbc news about the challenges that farmers face not just here in the uk, but in fact around the world. as a young farmer,

what future do you see in farming for people like you two is this something you think can be sustainable for you as a career in the next 20 years? lls sustainable for you as a career in the next 20 years?— sustainable for you as a career in the next 20 years? us at home, we are sheep arable, _ the next 20 years? us at home, we are sheep arable, we _ the next 20 years? us at home, we are sheep arable, we had _ the next 20 years? us at home, we are sheep arable, we had a - are sheep arable, we had a meeting last night with their land agent discussing sf i options, and we actually earn more money taking our whole farm out of food production and putting it into sci—fi, so it will be producing food, but laying, whether it's wildflowers or bird food. whether it's wild flowers or bird food. ~ . , . whether it's wild flowers or bird food. ., , ,, it's whether it's wild flowers or bird food-_ it's a - food. what is sfi? it's a sustainable _ food. what is sfi? it's a sustainable farming... l food. what is sm it's a - sustainable farming... working hand—in—hand whilst working... a lot of things they are leasing are focusing heavily on the environment and not so much food production. as and not so much food production. as a young person, i'd love to come home and farm, but it's less risky and more financially viable for my

father and his two brothers to put the farm into the sfi and not actually farm it, so the likelihood of being able to farm here is really low, which is really worrying. abby, what do you — low, which is really worrying. abby, what do you make _ low, which is really worrying. abby, what do you make of _ low, which is really worrying. abby, what do you make of it _ low, which is really worrying. abby, what do you make of it you - low, which is really worrying. abby, what do you make of it you just - what do you make of it you just heard they are? what sort of future do you think young farmers here in the uk have? i do you think young farmers here in the uk have?— the uk have? i think what will be rel in: on the uk have? i think what will be relying on is _ the uk have? i think what will be relying on is the _ the uk have? i think what will be relying on is the government, . relying on is the government, no matter— relying on is the government, no matter which country you're in, making — matter which country you're in, making sure they get this farmer support— making sure they get this farmer support scheme right. every country has a _ support scheme right. every country has a farmer— support scheme right. every country has a farmer support scheme and it is their— has a farmer support scheme and it is their first — has a farmer support scheme and it is theirfirst and has a farmer support scheme and it is their first and foremost to ensure — is their first and foremost to ensure there is a safe supply of food, _ ensure there is a safe supply of food, and — ensure there is a safe supply of food, and that food is nutritious, heaithy _ food, and that food is nutritious, healthy and affordable for everybody. we need to see a lot more ambition— everybody. we need to see a lot more ambition coming out of them, what we really want _ ambition coming out of them, what we really want to see as young people coming _ really want to see as young people coming into this industry, and not only is— coming into this industry, and not only is there a huge amount of opportunity here, but a great need. by opportunity here, but a great need. by 2050, _ opportunity here, but a great need. by 2050, we will have 10 billion people. — by 2050, we will have 10 billion people, there's no more land on the planet— people, there's no more land on the planet in— people, there's no more land on the planet in 2050 than there is now, and we'll— planet in 2050 than there is now, and we'll have more people competing for that— and we'll have more people competing for that land. so we need to make sure every— for that land. so we need to make sure every single square inch of agricultural land we've got is

business, we're talking about 6—10 years of planning, we need to make sure these businesses survive. so you need a stability payment and the bad times, but also the good times to help firms innovate. everybody needs to take this possibility for this because these farming businesses are so vulnerable to impacts, whether they are within your own country or globally. and again, it's about making sure we've got this safe supply of food. we cannot take it for granted, we saw during covid what happened when there were glitches on the economy or of a disease that were stopping people and goods moving across borders. we are an island, we absolutely need to make sure that our food supply is really secure. and your thoughts on this same point, how much should you rely on the government and how much should you yourself as the future of farming come up with their own solutions and ideas? i farming come up with their own solutions and ideas?— farming come up with their own solutions and ideas? i think 'ust rel in: on

coasts of irish sea, northern and eastern parts of scotland could see the strongest gusts. the rain splashing its way eastward through the morning. into the afternoon, starts to push out into the north sea. skies brighten up behind it, but it does remain blustery for all areas. some showers running into northern and western scotland. but it might hang back, i think, across eastern england with regards to the cloud and the rain. but these temperatures again above the seasonal norm, 11—13 celsius. as we head through wednesday night, it's dry for a time, then we see another area of low pressure gathering force out west that will bring a band of showery rain into northern and western areas. that rain starts to pep up as it begins to cross england and wales. again, a fairly mild night to come across the south, something a bit cooler working its way into northern and western areas. that's a sign of things to come as we head through thursday, as this low pressure system, with its heavy rain and strong winds across the south spreads across the country and pushes on in towards the north sea, it starts to open the floodgates to a much colder west—northwesterly wind. you can see that's evident

here with the blue colours, not particularly very cold, but certainly colder than what we've had over the last week or so. so a rather unsettled, wet day to come, i think, for much of the country, certainly england and wales on thursday, windy in the south. as the rain pulls away, the colder air starts to move in. so those showers begin to turn wintry over the higher ground of northern and western hills. and notice the temperatures as well — it will be noticeable. 5—9 celsius — factor in the wind, it'll feel colder than that. it stays fairly unsettled into the weekend. sunshine and showers again, these wintry over northern and western hills, and nights will be turning colder with some frost.
