have you had to learn about where that line is, dylan, more than other players, do you think? no, i think we're always learning. if you're regarding the recent ban i had. player safety is paramount, so as players we have to change. laser beams and innovation, rugby knows its image is crucial but the six nations is defined by tradition as much as change. so cue seven weeks of sporting folk music. # coming forth to carry me home #. joe wilson, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's phil avery. i think if you have a ticket for any of the matches you won't care. look at these images, lovely, the warm spot so far, 10 degrees. but look at this on the isle of light. wet pressure, cornwall, devon, western side of wales, that's but half the

story related to that, a couple of hours, maybe on the school run, for the weekend, decent enough across the weekend, decent enough across the north of scotland, rain filling in across the south west, the east of northern ireland picking up the rainfall. the sunshine across parts of the midlands will not last, coming back to the south—west things have turned quite cold, just within the far west. this is the other bit of the story about the low pressure, through the course of the evening southern coastal counties 50—60 mph gusts as the circulation tries to lift itself across the british isles during the night. but before it goes you will have two content with those sort of winds. the rain and some hills now gradually working for the north and strong wind as well,

leaving behind clearing skies with a peppering of showers across western parts. my concern is having seen the temperatures drop we may have some ice first up if you are out and about. that low pressure continues its slow journey across the north—west corner of scotland and we still have the combination of rain and sleet and hill snow. northern ireland poking out something decent, and the greater part of england and wales but we have cloud and rain flirting with the far south—east on a markedly cooler day and later in the day some showers back into the west of wales and the south—west of england. then we manage to get rid of one low pressure but the one in the south east gets the pincer movement going, the eastern side of scotla nd movement going, the eastern side of scotland as we get into the body of sunday, more southerly showers fizzling through the day but it will bea fizzling through the day but it will be a chilly start again and a chilly day despite the presence of dry weather with sunshine. some themes in that ever balding story, spells of rain but they tend to move.

sunshine in the mix as well but certainly both by day and by night it will be a tad cooler than we have had in the past couple of days. thank you. a reminder of our main story this lunchtime: npower puts up some electricity prices by 15% — one of the biggest by a big six energy supplier for years. 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. have a good afternoon. good afternoon, i'm hugh woozencroft with the latest sport on bbc news. the stoke city manager mark hughes says he sees no reason to exclude striker saido berahino for tomorrow's premier league meeting with west brom. that's after it was confirmed berahino served an eight—week fa suspension last year.

there are newspaper reports today that berahino failed an out of competition drugs test but this is unconfirmed by either club or the fa. berahino joined stoke last month from west brom, and hughes says he is available to face his former team. we are aware of it, clearly. there was an fa disciplinary. saido had a suspension, i think an eight—week suspension. we were suspension, i think an eight—week suspension. we were aware suspension, i think an eight—week suspension. we were aware of it. that's about it really. in terms of more detail, i can't give you a great deal, you would probably have to refer back to his previous club west brom. he served a ban when he was here at west brom. i don't really wa nt was here at west brom. i don't really want to comment on the reason why. i will go back to saying what i

said then. saido never played for me, ordidn't said then. saido never played for me, or didn't play regularly, because he wasn't fit enough. for whatever reason. we are under strict obligations not to release any information. that's an fa directive. burnley midfielderjoey barton has accepted an fa charge that he placed over 1,200 bets on matches over a ten—year period. barton has requested a personal hearing before being sanctioned. he was charged in december for breaking fa rules on betting between march 2006 and may 2016. the fa has announced aidy boothroyd as the new coach of the england under 21 side. the former watford and reading manager steps up from the under 19 and 20 sides, replacing the under 19 and 20 sides, replacing the senior boss gareth southgate. he will lead the team in the european

championships this summer. tiger woods's agent says the former world number one feels terrible at having to withdraw from the dubai desert classic with a bad back. this was only his second tour appearance, after three operations over 19 months. after an awful first round, he said he wasn't in pain. he finished 12 shots off the lead. but the problem apparently came on late last night when he experienced a spasm in his lower back. this year's six nations begins this weekend. scotland host ireland, england take on france, with wales travelling to italy. last year's tournament saw england secure a grand slam. in fact, they went unbeaten in 2016 and will be favourites this time around. 0ur preparation has been good. i think the concern is, when you prepare so well, you can be complacent going into the game. we've had a really good week this week, great training today, some rain, which is good because the

greasy ball keeps you on eight. the challenge going into the game is mental. he's been instrumental in great britain's success in the davis cup in recent years, but andy murray will miss the tie against canada in ottawa. he's having a rest after the australian open. it means dan evans will carry the baton for gb in the opening match later today. he's the most improved player in men's tennis, now up to 45 in the world. that's all sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport, and i'll have more in the next hour. let's return to paris, where there has been an attack at the louvre museum in the heart of the city. it's been described by the french prime minister bernard cazeneuve as being of a "terrorist nature". police say a man carrying two machetes and two backpacks shouted "allahu akbar" and tried to enter the underground shopping area of the museum. a soldier opened fire and the man was seriously wounded. the backpacks did not contain any explosives.

a big security operation is continuing, and the louvre has been evacuated. the french prime minister bernard cazeneuve said it appeared to be a terrorist attack. and the official in charge of ensuring the security of the louvre museum was assaulted in what was clearly a n museum was assaulted in what was clearly an attack that was terrorist in nature. i wanted to say, as these events have ta ken in nature. i wanted to say, as these events have taken place, that my heart is full of recognition and gratitude for the police, the soldiers working at a heightened security level in our country to keep the security of the nation and the protection of the french people. local french tv spoke to a chef who was inside the louvre at the time of the attack. he described his experience. i was getting things ready as i do every morning and i heard the sound of a shooting. first i thought it was the security

doors closing as they usually do when they test the fire alarms, but i realised it was not the doors, it was real gunshots. it was frightening. i said to my colleagues, let's go, go, go, this is not right. i was really frightened and so was everyone else. we saw people falling down on the ground. they were afraid. it is not the sort of thing you usually hear. the police arrived and i said, get out, get out! we all went running out. american law studentjonathan kuzy, who was visiting paris, was among hundreds of tourists locked inside louvre. he spoke to the bbc shortly after he was evacuated. at first i didn't realise anything was wrong. i don't speak any french, soi was wrong. i don't speak any french, so i heard the announcement but kept looking at the exhibits. the museum staff brought us down underground

and told us to wait there. luckily there was why— five. they kept us in touch with everything that was going on. “— touch with everything that was going on. —— there was wi—fi. it was really after the first initial confusion, all i could find was that there was some sort of attack and that it was thought to be terrorist related. we didn't know if there we re related. we didn't know if there were gunmen or explosives. we just had no idea. i personally decided to keep my cool and help the people around me to stay as well. i was thinking that if there was a panic, that would make things worse for everyone. earlier, we spoke to the french republican mp jacques myrad. he told me that this morning's attack would have been very difficult to prevent. this is certainly the most visited

area in paris after the eiffel tower. you can imagine you have thousands, even ten thousands of people every day. also underneath, you know... that means in underground areas. if there were a bomb attack in this area, it will really kill thou... certainly dozens of people. so you know this is certainly a place which has to be searched, which has to be protected. the threat is everyday, everywhere. i think security is one of the main issues of the presidential election. and of course with unemployment. but ido and of course with unemployment. but i do believe the french have now really learned that it is a long—term period, a long—term policy, and it would be solved in a fortnight. we are at war, we have an

enemy which can come from abroad, but an enemy that can be also at home. unfortunately, it's very difficult, let's say, to spot those who become in a very short time radicals. labelled syria's ghost refugees, almost 80,000 people fleeing the so—called islamic state have become stranded in no man's land. they're situated between the syria and jordan border. aid agencies say they're struggling to provide for the people in rukban and warn it'll soon be home to the largest number of syrians fleeing the war. bbc arabic‘s feras kilani has been given exclusive access to the area. trapped in a no man's land between two countries. these syrians are desperate to escape the so—called islamic state, but jordan desperate to escape the so—called islamic state, butjordan has shut them out. living in tough

conditions, they come under repeated attack. but still, the numbers grow. we are here with thejordanian army, who hold the border. it's the first time they have allowed journalists to witness this crisis. this is as close as we can get. the commander says the area is just too dangerous to approach. the threat of violence means help is limited and uncertain. aid has been cut off for months at a time. the un field hospital can only cope with the most urgent cases. ashraf has become paralysed from the waist down. the doctors say he may never walk again. i want to go home, he says. dozens of children have

died here in the conditions. this lady has just arrived from the camp and tells me their one—year old son has... inaudible. without regular food, he inaudible. without regularfood, he has become weak. this is all that stands between the syrians and safety in jordan, but having suffered a number of attacks themselves, jordanians say opening the borders is simply too risky. weeks ago, a huge car bomb ripped through the camp, targeting a busy area. the blast killed 11 people including an entire family of four. along the border, the jordanian army are family of four. along the border, thejordanian army are taking no chances. faced with a growing threat, they are increasing the military here. the chief of staff

says they can't afford to allow the syrians to cross. translation: our borders were open, but to avoid attacks, we had to close them because is have sleeper cells inside the camps. indeed a majority of refugees came here from areas still under islamic state control. they might be standing on the verge of safety, but these people are now viewed with fear and suspicion. here and around the world, they finding more and more doors are closing on them. the headlines: french police have begun an investigation into a security incident at the louvre in paris. a soldier opened fire on a man with a knife, who attacked police shouting "allahu akbar". the energy firm npower has announced a big increase in prices. a typical dual fuel annual energy

bill will rise by an average of 10%. theresa may is in malta, where she's briefing eu leaders on her meeting with donald trump, and calling for nato members to spend more on defence. time now for business. today, vishala joins us from london's tech—hub where she's spending the day looking at the impact of brexit and president trump on the uk's silicon sector. that's right, i'm in east london at an incubator for start—up companies. they can come along and plug in their laptops, they get a desk and they can meet other start—ups, creating an office environment. they are in london, so when it comes to investors and meeting potential clients, they are only five minutes away. the sharing economy has grown considerably in recent years. google, deliveroo, debbie and be.

hassle .com is part of that. —— air b&b. how will leaving the european union impact your business model? the main concern is freedom of movement. 35% of people who work from our platform are from the eu. we would urgently want the government to clarify their position and their immigration status, a lot of them are concerned about their long—term future in the uk. longer term, domestic service is a really fast growing area of the uk economy. in my experience, there are not enough british workers wanting to do those jobs so we need a sensible immigration policy in place that allows us to continue to grow and invest, doing well, yeah. just after the referendum, i remember seeing posters saying keep calm and moved to berlin. are you finding there

might be more advantages to that? with the sharing economy there is a lwa ys with the sharing economy there is always a local element. for us, the cleaning is taking place in london, so for us to have egg base here makes complete sense. tech jobs are less geographically dependent. we have moved 15 jobs less geographically dependent. we have moved 15jobs to berlin. —— a base here. those jobs have moved 15jobs to berlin. —— a base here. thosejobs are more at risk than the cheaper rents and salaries. the chancellor philip hammond has launched his industrial strategy. not a huge of detail about technology. what would you like the government to do to assure your sector and start—ups? government to do to assure your sector and start-ups? the sharing economy has been around for seven yea rs, economy has been around for seven yea rs , we economy has been around for seven yea rs, we are economy has been around for seven years, we are not particularly new. in that time, the government has failed to take a meaningful position on things like self—employed workers, which has stifled our ability to invest with confidence.

so my main concern about brexit is it's going to be a major distraction, we are going to see further delays in seeing sensible regulations and legislation. how about the drop in the pound? in the short—term, that has been the major effect for us. but we have operations in dublin, across europe and here, so we have pounds and euros. the fluctuation is tricky in terms of planning. equally, the drop against the dollar particularly, where we pay a lot of software licenses, a lot of technology companies suffering in dollars, it has made it much more expensive comparatively. that has been a major short—term challenge. comparatively. that has been a major short-term challenge. we have heard a lot about the destructive nature of the temporary immigration ban donald trump has introduced over there. does that affect you? do you look to the us for investment and recruitment? we do speak to us

investors. there is plenty of talent going around. we have always had sensible immigration policies on people from outside the eu coming in who are highly skilled. so that's not seen as a massive issue for us. sam, thank you. i will be here all afternoon talking to lots of different technology companies. supermarkets are rationing the sale of more vegetables to cope with a shortage brought about by bad weather in spain. it comes after similar problems with courgettes a few weeks ago. tesco is limiting customers to three iceberg lettuces, and morrison's is also reported to be preventing shoppers from buying more than three heads of broccoli. lord haskins, the former chairman of northern foods, which supplies tesco, says he is surprised that the shortage has caused such a panic. well, i think if the nation is in panic about iceberg lettuce, god help us. these things happen. 30 years ago, you would never have worried about buying lettuce in the middle of the winter.

lettuce was something that grew in the summer and you ate it in the summer, and you had cauliflowers and brussels sprouts in the winter. we have become this slightly strange group that we want to have these all the year round crops, and sometimes it goes wrong. it's going wrong at the moment. so what's the answer? this will resolve itself. if you are really keen on iceberg lettuce, you can get them from peru or south africa, somewhere like that. it will cost a bit. if it gets too expensive, people will be sensible and they will go back and buy a few more brussels sprouts. it sounds as though you don't think it is necessarily a bad thing if it makes people think about the seasonality of produce and what kind of things people should be buying? yeah, two things about that. we all buy stuff from all parts. first of all, they don't taste nearly as good. strawberries, this time of year from egypt, they don't taste anything like as good as a british strawberry in the summer. secondly, there is this business

of flying all this stuff all the way around the world, and the impact that has on climate change. there's nothing wrong about buying a little bit more home produce. assuming we have the eastern european workers to pick them, but that might not happen either. thousands of protesters have staged a third night of demonstrations across romania against a government decree that will decriminalise some types of corruption. at least 80,000 people gathered to voice their anger in the capital bucharest, and there were rallies in 20 other romanian cities. 0ur correspondent nick thorpe gave me the latest from bucharest. it's a long feud going back many years between the governing social democrats who have just returned to power and romania's very powerful anti—corruption agency. the agency accused by the government of targeting their social democratic mps. they say it's not true,

that they are equally fair, but this strong anti—corruption fight in romania has been seen in the past as a threat by the social democrats. now they are in power, they have tried to clip the wings of the agency. all these people have come out to the streets in this remarkable situation, on the streets of this country, in support of prosecutors and their efforts to clear up romania of its corruption problem. the constitutional court, it's been taken to them by the magistrates and by the president, that is one of the legal obstacles. also the european union stepping in, putting pressure on this government to back down, but no sign at the moment that the social democratic government is willing to back down on this decree. although gene therapy has the potential to eliminate birth

defects and debilitating diseases, it also presents difficult ethical issues, with opponents claiming it's wrong to create so—called designer babies. the use of gene therapy will be debated by the royal society of medicine tonight. arguing the case that gene editing should be resisted will be kiruna stamell, a stage and screen actor with dwarfism. she made this short film for radio 4's today programme. a personal point of view from the actor kiruna stamell. tadcaster was split in two by floods on boxing day 2015. it is going to be reunited when it's only road bridge is reopened. it has been more than a year since they could only cross via a temporary footbridge. getting ready to reopen the bridge now. we will bring you more as the bridge is reopened. in the meantime, the weather. quite coincidentally, there we were

in tadcaster. where do you think that is? bradford, how beautiful is that? what a glorious day so far. the isle of wight there. you are much closer to this area of low pressure, which has produced wet and windy fare and increasingly cold weather behind this weather front which has got out of the way to the far west of cornwall. we will come back to that in a moment. further north, it is notjust yorkshire that is bathed in sunshine. northern parts of scotland. further east, it will stay bright for the afternoon. cloud filling in all the while, because the low pressure is drifting further north and spreading eastwards as well. it's very windy. this is the other half of the story about the area of low pressure. yes, it is opening the door to cold air, but the strong winds through the rest of the afternoon and evening will propagate along the channel

coast. 50—60 mph possible towards the isle of wight and the eastern end of kent and sussex perhaps. as the whole area of low pressure gradually drifts further north. but it isa gradually drifts further north. but it is a gradual process and eventually the combination of fairly breezy weather and rain, with some hills no across northern britain, working its way further north. —— some hill snow. that allows the skies to clear a cross in north. could be a touch of ice first thing saturday. we will have not won low pressure to think about, but another close by to france will push into the south—east. —— not one. it will continue its journey, the south—east. —— not one. it will continue itsjourney, slowly for parts of scotland, the north—west. a lot of areas have sunshine. cloud across the east midlands and south—east, though. temperature is beginning to fall away in the south—west. another chilly start,

saturday into sunday. this hand of whether fizzles towards the scottish borders. the low pressure tending to stay offshore. —— band of weather. sunday looks to be half reasonable after the chilly start. the temperatures will struggle to get away from 5—8d. spells of rain at the weekend. nobody hangs onto it for the whole weekend. some sunshine too but it will feel colder compared too but it will feel colder compared to where we have been in the past few days. more in half an hour. this is bbc news. the headlines at 2pm. in paris — a man armed with a machete is shot after attacking a soldier

outside the louvre. npower announces a dual fuel price rise of almost 10%. the government says customers are already paying more than they need to. the prime minister's in malta for an eu summit. she'll brief foreign leaders about her recent meeting with president trump. iran says it is unmoved by threats from washington, and that it will never initiate a war. after the us president accused iran of "playing with fire". in the next hour, vegetable rationing. supermarkets are rationing the sale of more vegetables to cope with a shortage brought about by bad weather in spain. broker layer and iceberg lettuce are affected.
