1:33 pm
uk on friday not a bad day. but how much rain we get and how strong the wind gets depends on the track of that system. there was the potential of some severe gales coming through during friday afternoon and into the evening, affecting southern england. we will firm up on the details of the forecast over the next day or so. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello, i'm will perry with the latest from the bbc sports centre. the funeral of former england manager graham taylor is taking place in watford, where he had his greatest success at club level. a large crowd has gathered outside st mary's church, with family, friends and mourners from the world of sport arriving earlier. taylor died of a heart attack last month at the age of 72. usain bolt has been speaking about losing one of his nine olympic gold medals. he said it was rough

to have to give it back, after his jamaica team—mate nesta carter tested positive for a banned substance at beijing in 2008, where they won the sprint relay. bolt has been in melbourne to open a sports facility and compete in an all stars event, and he said he didn't think his legacy would be damaged. i have worked hard over the years and show my dominance so i think losing one medal should not be a problem. what can i say? knowing nesta carter, what are your feelings towards him now? i have not seen him ina towards him now? i have not seen him in a while but i am hoping he is not blaming himself too much about this. i will wait and see what happens. russia have been stripped of the axiioom relay silver medal from the london 2012 olympics. sprinter antonina krivoshapka tested positive for a steroid, in the retesting programme, with the ioc predicting that
1:35 pm
more adverse samples are likely to be found. jamaica and ukraine are likely to be promoted to silver chris froome finished 26th on day one of his first event of the year, the herald sun tour in melbourne. froome was 27th in the prologue last year, before going on to win the five—day event. his fellow briton mark cavendish is riding in the dubai tour at the moment, and had a frustrating finish to the race, getting boxed in somewhere in there, and finishing the second stage in seventh, to leave him sixth overall. the tour leader and stage winner was cavendish‘s old rival from germany, marcel kittel. tiger woods says the back injury that kept him out of the game for 19 months was "more than brutal". he needed three operations in that time, and only returned to competitive golf last weekend. this week, he plays in the dubai desert classic, as his recovery continues.
1:36 pm
it was more than brutal. there were times when i physically did not know if i could get out of bed. i had a lot of great people around me to help me, help keep my spirits up, and two of the most important people of my life keeping my spirits up every day or my kids. i miss being year and playing here and it has been a while since i've been fit enough to play and travel as well so it is good. they're fighting in london in april, and anthonyjoshua and wladimir klistschko are on the road to promote the event. it's almost certain to be a 90,000 sell—out. their latest stop was in new york, where klitschko pointed out that he was fighting at madison square garden
1:37 pm
whenjoshua was 10 years old. joshua was unmoved, though — he knows he'll be ready. i have had 19 fights in a row and it doesn't seem a lot but what i have learnt through fighting, sparring, and asa learnt through fighting, sparring, and as a person, i throw this all into the mix and it should repair me for all these things when i step in the ring with him. fighting isn't just about one—on—one in the ring. there are mind games and you have to deal with the crowd and there are things going on in your personal life away from training so i have learned how to deal with these things so i should be in a good place on april 29. and england's final t20 against india hasjust started in bangalore. england won the toss and put india in to bat. india are a—mac—i. —— 4—1. and there's text commentary on the bbc sports website, where you can click through for tms coverage. that's bbc. c0. uk/sport. i'll have more in the next hour. it has been 12 months since the zika
1:38 pm
virus was declared a global health emergency. scientists have discovered more aid is could be suffering from more convocations than just microcephaly. this is the devastating consequence of zika. these babies will need help from a rest of their lives. this is the best place for them to get the specialist care that they need. but there is not enough money to help all of them. one of those on the waiting list is gisele. he became the face of zika when the disease went viral. one year later he is very small for his age and has breathing difficulties, trouble swallowing and cannot walk. he has
1:39 pm
to be fed through a tube. they travel two hours almost every day to try and get him the help he needs. translation: i come here three times a week, i wake up at 4am and arrive at 6am because there is no other transport available. then i wait for the doctor. it is difficult but not impossible. if it is for my baby's health, nothing is impossible. one year after zika was declared a global emergency, doctors believe the number of aid affected could be much higher. this baby is 15 months old and she is one of those cases the doctors are studying right now. she was not born with microcephaly but later on she showed signs that she was affected by the zika virus in her mother's womb. after a few
1:40 pm
months, something didn't see right. translation: when the doctor said it was zika i was surprised but relieved because i knew she had motor problems and wondered why she wasn't developing like other kids so from then on i knew something was wrong and could treat her with therapy. this is one of the scientists looking into this. they called congenital zika syndrome. evenif called congenital zika syndrome. even if babies are born with a normal head they can have poorer vision, hearing loss and other disability later in life. research shows that for every baby with microcephaly, ten others might develop problems. we already know that microcephaly is the tip of the iceberg. there is a risk of early and late symptoms related to this virus. she is now getting the help
1:41 pm
she needs. doctors are rushing to identify the thousands of babies like her who will also acquire treatment but the brazilian health system is already struggling to cope with the legacy of zika. with me now is our leading expert on the zika virus. —— a leading expert. how much more do we know about this on from it being declared a global health emergency? we knew virtually nothing on year ago so all we have been learning over the past year is new material for us. and we are learning as we go. in that report we saw the second baby, her mother thought she had escaped the impact of zika because her child was not
1:42 pm
born with microcephaly but then other problems emerged. the first thing we noticed was we were seeing microcephaly in babies but it became clear that is simply the most severe form of damage that can happen and as more evidence emerges we are finding out there are a wide range of different effects this virus can have on babies and some of them only become apparent after the baby has been born. and as they get older you will be learning more about the ongoing impacts of zika. how much research and funding is available to continue to look at this virus? quite a lot. the way funding cycles work is it is really only about now that much of that research is coming on stream. colic solved mine at the london school of hygiene and tropical medicine are working with cou nterpa rts tropical medicine are working with counterparts mostly in brazil,
1:43 pm
looking at a range of different things. we have to know more about what happens to these babies as they get older and develop and also we need to learn more about how we can link them into care and also about ways we can, this —— we can combat this outbreak. i know you want to stress how important mosquito control is. are any new models of control is. are any new models of control being developed apart from the traditional spraying of areas where it is known that they carry the virus? yes. my fear is that we will only develop those to an extent that they are really usable for public health problems hull programmes as this epidemic burns itself out but there —— public health programmes. for instance

using some of insect growth regulators which seem to have big impact on populations of mosquitoes. ina in a moment we will have a summary of the business news but first the headlines. mps will vote this evening on the legislation giving the government the go—ahead to trigger article 50, the formal process of leaving the eu. president trump has nominated conservative judge neil gorsuch for the us supreme court. rail fares are to be overhauled by train operators, who've admitted buying tickets can be "baffling". shares in top talk are up.

1:47 pm
competition from rivals and has not been able to keep up. the bright spotin been able to keep up. the bright spot in apple's earnings has to do with services. if you think about all the apps. tim cook says he hopes the services side of the business will double over the next few years. the next block other —— what buster product may not actually be an ipad or iphone but may come from the service area. house price inflation fell to its weakest level since november 2015 in january. this is according to the nationwide building society. it says average house prices rose 0.8% in december but only 0.2% last month. over the whole year, january to january, house prices are 4.3% higher than at this time in 2016, but the nationwide added that price rises could slow further in the year ahead. britain's economy is about to slow down but only slightly, according to the independent think tank the national institute

down almost 10% because they give a profit warning of turbulent times ahead. brexit and donald trump were key topics of the debate at my ministers questions today. theresa may said there would be a white paper tomorrow on plans to leave the eu. she was also questioned byjeremy corbyn about her response to the us president's emigration ban. he has torn up international agreements on refugees, threatens to dump international agreements on climate change, praised the use of torture, incited hatred against muslims, directly attacked women's rights. what more does presentjob have to do before the prime minister will listen to the 1.8 million people who
1:50 pm
have already called for his state visit invitation to be withdrawn? the right honourable gentleman's foreign policy is to object to and insult the democratically elected head of state of our most important ally. let's see what he would have achieved in the last week. would he have protected british citizens from the impact of the executive order? no. lay the foundations of a trade deal? no. got a 100% commitment to nato? no. that is what labour has to offer this country. less protection for british sisters and is, less prosperous, less safe. he can lead a protest, i am leading a country. we can go to our assistant political
1:51 pm
editor norman smith & wesson minster. a lively session. yes, although the standout issues we re yes, although the standout issues were donald trump and the question about his state visit, and brexit. i am joined by barry gardner from labour, ian blackford from the smb and bill cash from the conservatives. so, donald trump. jeremy corbyn challenging theresa may over the state visit. in the real world it is too late to withdraw their invitation. this is a man who has joked about assaulting women, introduced what many believe isa women, introduced what many believe is a completely unconstitutional and certainly immoral than effectively on moslems because they are muslims. this is somebody who has taken extraordinary action against the un
1:52 pm
convention on refugees. we whole —— we all have a duty to uphold that convention. it would be calamitous for our relations with the most powerful country in the world. whatever you think of donald trump, it is too late. there comes a time when you have to assert what is right against people who seem to have no moral conscience about what is wrong. one of the lessons this country throughout history has learned is that you stand up to bullies and call them out when they insist on getting their way. how would nicola sturgeon respond if the state visit went ahead?|j would nicola sturgeon respond if the state visit went ahead? i think the snp made it clear that we called upon the state visit to be withdrawn. i think we have to say to donald trump that what he is doing
1:53 pm
is wrong. there is a clamour in the uk to stand up for what is right. this is effectively a ban on muslims coming to the us. while that ban is in place it would not be appropriate for a state visit on any level. do you think the offer of the state visit was rushed and misguided and theresa may should have held it back? first of all, it must take place. this is about our alliance with the us, going back to two world wars and mrtrump with the us, going back to two world wars and mr trump has been clear about changing the entire european policy of the us in a short time and i believe he has done the right thing, it would be catastrophic if the invitation were withdrawn. it is not come to be withdrawn and all i can say is this is about our relationship with the united states.
1:54 pm
what do you mean he has done the right thing? should we have a similar travel ban? as far as the travel ban is concerned, as i said yesterday, this is going to be decided between the president, congress and the courts. that is where it is right now. in addition, the list of the countries concerned was actually drawn up by president obama. let's move on to brexit. you had in front of you this morning ivan rogers with a stark assessment of how eu leaders will respond to negotiations. suggestions that they will ask for billions of pounds, maybe £60 billion if we leave the eu. he said he thought the ball park was somewhere around 40. last night it was suggested about 30. the fact is that this is something which will
1:55 pm
be part of negotiations. if they ask for unreasonable demands it could turn into a walk away situation because there are other aspects, for example the 27 at the most recent summit actually said access to the single market, not membership of, involves complete compliance with all the freedoms including freedom of movement. they know it isn't the case. for practical purposes, the bottom line is... if they ask for money on those terms, yes, i think the situation could become difficult but there are a lot of legal issues which we haven't got time to go into now. should we be worried if we have to walk? i think so, very worried about the economic consequences of walking away from the largest market, 500 million people. it
1:56 pm
scares me. one of the things we have seenin scares me. one of the things we have seen in parliament yesterday and todayis seen in parliament yesterday and today is that we need to respect the decision taken in the uk but also the decision taken in scotland where the decision taken in scotland where the scottish government has been empowered by parliament to protect scotland's interests. where does this vote leave your party? my party was the one that initially said we had to have scrutiny in parliament and a white paper and a vote on triggering article 50 and a vote at the end of the process. theresa may denied all of those some months ago and we have won every single one. the beginning of the process comes today with the triggering of article 50 and it is a long process and we will continue to hold the government to account. plenty more on brexit over the next few weeks and indeed today because the critical vote comes at 7pm tonight which, if
1:57 pm
approved, will begin the process of brexit. grey skies over westminster and all round i think. it isa it is a changed to the unsettled weather conditions we have had for much of the week and it will get windier over the next few days. low pressure is streaming across the atla ntic pressure is streaming across the atlantic at the moment. there is a very powerful jet stream atlantic at the moment. there is a very powerfuljet stream blasting across the atlantic at 200 mph and making a succession of low pressure systems reach the uk. the one coming on friday could bring as severe weather. just now, a lot of cloud, some glimpses of sunshine, but the best of the weather across the central slice of the uk. some rain across these coast of england, it should use a way of the next hour.
1:58 pm
some rain across wales in south—west england. mild air is pushing north. still chilly in east scotland and north—east england. tonight, it will stay cloudy, patches of rain were thing —— working north and east. some more rain across much of england and wales and northern ireland. a breezy and mild night. perhaps a touch of frost in the sheltered claims of scotland. thursday, wet and windy. cool for swims around southern and western coasts and hills. some brighter weather across western areas in the afternoon before more rain comes back into south—west england and wales by the end of the day. yesterday we were talking about a storm coming in on friday. still couple of tracks it could take. probably heading to northern france
1:59 pm
ringing the risk of severe gales and disruption but there is a chance it could move more north and bring some severe weather to southern england. to the north of this system, a lot of fine and dry weather, bright and breezy, some showers and western scotland, but the amount of rain in england and wales, the strength of the wind depends on the track of the low pressure, but there is the potential of severe disruptive weather affecting southern counties of england. stage and for the forecast. keep an eye on things on the bbc weather website. this is bbc news at two o'clock.
2:00 pm
i'm ben brown at westminster where the great brexit debate continues. mps vote tonight on legislation which would give the government the go—ahead to trigger article 50. the other headlines this afternoon. president trump chooses the conservative judge president trump chooses the conservativejudge neil president trump chooses the conservative judge neil gorsuch for the vacant position on the us supreme court. democrats say they will oppose him. three generations murdered in a terror attack on a tunisian beach. an inquest hears from the teenager who survived, but lost his brother, uncle and grandfather. train operators admit fares can be baffling, as they promise to cut red tape and reduce ticket prices. and safety net, or killer? australian campaigners want these nets banned, as they kill dolphins and turtles.
