youngsters. another 240 pilot whale have been stranded in a room at bay in new zealand and what conservationists say is the country's biggest beaching for 100 years. the pod is thought to include some of the wales we re thought to include some of the wales were rescued from the same area yesterday. 300 wales have died in recent days. you may find of these scenes disturbing. doing whatever they can to help before it is too late. these volu nteers before it is too late. these volunteers have been working for many hours to keep the wales cool as they lie stranded. some say is singing also helps achieve them calm. but what they really need is high tide. very quickly, this tide has come in, and we are to our knees. some people are up to their waists in water, and we are getting a bit of floating happening, and we're helping to assist the whales with the breathing until the water is deep enough for them to swim. this is one of the worst whales strandings in new zealand's history. 400 whales came into the bay on. rescuers managed to re—float 100 of

them. they failed to stop another strandings of 240. scientists don't know for sure why beaching happens. whales could simply have become lost. one theory is that if a single whale gets stuck, others follow its distress signal. but once it has happened, it can lead to devastation. for those that reece brown, there is little chance they will sway, so we have to euthanise them. once they had out to sea, it is difficult to manage, but dealing with the ones who are left is quite an issue. efforts are stood down overnight for safety reasons, but the logistics are trying to save these wales and dealing with the aftermath if they can't will start again tomorrow. ina week in a week where there has been renewed speculation over arsene wenger‘s future, arsenal have beaten hull city 2—0 in the premier league.

the win came after two defeats. patrick geary reports. at arsenal, they are united in gratitude but divided by faith. arsene wenger is the dominant figure in their modern history but what about the future? consider the words of a former arsenal striker who met arsene wenger this week. when we were talking, he mentioned that it was coming towards the end. talking, he mentioned that it was coming towards the endli talking, he mentioned that it was coming towards the end. i have never heard him say that. his attacking philosophy is clear to see in arsenal's play. look at the numbers are swarming over hull city. alexis sanchez was the important one but to score this, he needed a hand. after the break, all channelled their protest in to pressure. in the relegation fight, every chance matters. hull felt that kieran gibbs denied them a goal—scoring opportunity here. the card was yellow, not a red card. the tigers threatened until they conceded a late penalty. sam clucas was sent off for this handball. sanchez finally settled this question. my

job is to make people happy and when ido job is to make people happy and when i do not do it, ifeel guilty. job is to make people happy and when i do not do it, i feel guilty. how the final three months of the season and out for arsenal may determine whether these are supportive words 01’ whether these are supportive words or parting ones. the second round of six nations matches are taking place today. ireland are facing italy in rome right now while wales take on england in less than an hour in cardiff. joe wilson is that the principality stadium in cardiff. an anticipated match. absolutely. the roof may be open but you did not think it would be quiet. some of the wales players are already over they are warming up. dan biggar is among the welsh players warming up, if you were worried about his fitness. it is so cold outside there is quite an incentive to come into the stadium early. the six nations is played over several weeks but you cannot afford to start slow. both teams won

their opening matches but they need to find more urgency. a lot of focus on england's cardiff novices. ireland started slowly in the six nations, losing in edinburgh. it is essential for them to come up with something against italy. they have been on top in that game from the start. they have scored four in the first half, which gave them their first half, which gave them their first ever six nations bonus point. 0ne first ever six nations bonus point. one result to give you from cardiff in the women's six nations, if finished wales 2—0 england 63. if the scores like that in the men's match, they will be opening the exits, never mind the roof. it is expected to be a lot closer. before we go — a group of tigers in a zoo in china have become a tourist — and internet — sensation, but not really for the right reasons — it's because they're so fat. the big cats have packed on the pounds overwinter, but zoo keepers say they'll slim down in the summer. they're blaming unflattering camera

angles for making some of the animals so portly, but said they would step in and help any unhealthy ones lose weight. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, we are back with the late news at a quarter past ten — now on bbc1, it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news. president trump's says he may bring forward a new immigration executive order to enforce america's homeland security. but there's still no clarity on what he's planning. the administration will continue to argue for the temporary ban on migrants from seven countries that's been blocked by federaljudges. earlier, i spoke to dr larry sabato, professor of politics at the university of virginia, and asked whether he expected the president to introduce a new executive order. that appears to be the route the trump administration has chosen. they may still appeal the earlier court decisions to the supreme court. but i think they're more likely

to issue a new executive order. and if they do that, how different will it have to be from the first order to avoid legal challenges? it must be substantially different. it will have to be much more carefully and narrowly tailored than the first one. even that may not pass muster in the courts. we'lljust have to see. can a president effectivelyjust keep issuing executive orders? how does it work? yes, a president can issue a new executive order at any time. he can revoke an executive order at any time. so this could continue for quite some time. it could be a game of ping pong. however, at some point, it's going to be obvious to the courts the game that he's playing and there could be some reaction from the courts that would be very unpleasant for the president. what do you mean by that? well, like holding him in contempt.

and that could lead to potentially an effort by democrats to impeach. they don't have a majority in either house of congress, so it wouldn't go anywhere. but the publicity would be certainly something that president trump would, one presumes, prefer to avoid. i appreciate you don't have a crystal ball, but it would be extraordinary if the president was to be impeached over this. is that really a possibility? not as long as the republicans control both houses of congress and they do at present. so it's simply an opportunity for democrats and maybe some republicans who are alienated from trump to state their case and to attract attention. a few congressmen have already broached the subject. but we're only three weeks into the trump presidency. this is something for much later in the term. i understand. what is the, if anything, is the precedent for all of this? have we seen presidents before issuing executive orders which have

then been challenged in the courts? 0ccasionally it has happened, but nothing as controversial as this executive order and never as early in a presidency as this. this has been quite a shock to everybody, though if you follow trump's career i don't know why it has been a shock. i'm interested how this is playing with the population at large in america. president trump himself has tweeted that he thinks this is one of his most popular policies. well, he's simply wrong, if you care about facts. sometimes the trump tweets have no relationship with the facts. every survey that has been taken by an independent, non—partisan agency has shown that a majority of americans or a solid plurality oppose the president's executive order and his decision in this particular case. there's no question that many of trump's supporters

and probably a solid majority of republicans favour what he is doing, but let's remember, he lost the popular vote substantially. he got 46% of the vote. and i've seen no evidence that this executive order or indeed many of the action that trump has taken have the support of more than 46%. generally they have less than 46% support. meanwhile, president trump is hosting the japanese prime minister this weekend. he's the first world leader to ride on air force one during the new president's leadership. he's planning on two rounds of golf with him. he's getting to spend quite a lot of time with him. is this a sign, do you think, that mr trump is prioritising building links with asian powers rather than european ones? well, let's remember that prime minister abe is simply travelling along a trail blazed by prime minister theresa may. she decided to get in early, to see president trump very quickly, to cosy up to him, to stroke his rather large ego and it worked for her, at least

in terms of the relationship with trump. it caused problems in britain. as far as prime minister abe is concerned, he wants to make sure that he doesn't end up like china or mexico, in the cross—hairs of the trump administration. a final question, have you seen the handshake between the two leaders, because it does appear at the end that shinzo abe after being clutched forevently by the hand by the president somewhat rolls his eyes. i wonder how you interpreted that? well, you'd be surprised how many millions of people roll their eyes when they see president trump, whether they're embraced by him or not. you said it! good to talk to you, thanks. 0ur correspondent david willis is in washington. and hejoins us. mixed messages

coming out of washington. where do you expect president ronald reagan here? well, it is a very good question. —— president trump. what does he do if he amends this executive order? some have said that crucial to any amendment would be defining precisely the role of green ca rd defining precisely the role of green card holders, permanent legal residence in the united states. there was ambiguity about the confusion resulting from that, with the first executive order, the original one. i think the lawyers would probably be looking to clean that up, and also address this question of whether this band goes against the constitution for the simple reason that it bars people from entry to the united states on the ground of their religion. but there are those as well here who are saying that drafting a new executive order is not the sort of thing the donald trump allows himself to

become involved in, it plays into the hands of his critics, who are basically saying that this first signature move, this executive order signed at the end of that first frantic week in office was flawed and that he is rethinking it. that is something he does not want to be seen to be doing. and what is your reading of the significance of the meeting between donald trump and the japanese brown and mr? -- japanese prime minister. well, after their meeting yesterday, which was a p pa re ntly meeting yesterday, which was apparently very cordial, they will be getting down after the gulf today to discuss things like trade, a concern to mr abe because one of the things that mr trump did first after taking office was tearing up the trans—pacific partnership, taking office was tearing up the tra ns—pacific partnership, the taking office was tearing up the trans—pacific partnership, the trade deal that barack 0bama had helped negotiate. that leaves no bilateral

trade agreement in place between the united states and japan, to the concern of shins are they. those sort of things will be discussed and mrabe sort of things will be discussed and mr abe will be concerned about that. that was made between donald trump and the chinese premier. —— shinzo abe. basically confirming that america is behind the one china policy. there is tension in the region between china and japan. lots to discuss on the golf course today. good to talk to you. jean—claude juncker says he doubts that the remaining 27 members of the european union can maintain a united front as they negotiate britain's exit. in an interview with german radio, to be broadcast tomorrow, the president of the european commission said there could be divisions in the bloc over the future relationship with the uk. he also reiterated that britain could not negotiate trade deals as long as it remained a member of the eu.

not start for wales. and celtic have thrashed inverness 6—0 to book their place in the quarterfinals of the scottish cup. and great britain have qualified for the fedex cup world play—offs after beating croatia. labour frontbenchers who defied jeremy corbyn in the commons brexit vote will be sent a formal written warning but they will not be sacked. mr corbyn had ordered his mps to vote with the conservatives to back brexit. but 52 labour mps rebelled in wednesday's vote, including 14 junior backbenchers. 0ur political correspondent tom barton said mr corbyn‘s reprimand underscored the fragility of his frontbench team. it isa it is a formal written warning which will tell the mps that they must comply with the whip in the future but compared with the usual outcome in these circumstances, if you are a

front bench mp who votes against the most serious instruction that your leadership can give you, when it comes to a parliamentary vote, breaking a three—line whip, will normally they would be fired. this is actually, in a lot of ways, getting off pretty likely. so why have they got off so lightly?‘ number of reasons. i think the leadership see this particular vote, the vote around article 50, triggering brexit, as being a unique event, partly because a lot of these mps were in constituencies where significant majorities, 70, 70 5% of people voted in favour of remain. many of them felt that they could not in all conscience vote the other side of their constituents. there is

another issue thejeremy corbyn faces, to put it bluntly, a significant human resources challenge. he has 229 mps. 0ver significant human resources challenge. he has 229 mps. over the course of his leadership, he has faced 79 resignations or sackings. 0n faced 79 resignations or sackings. on top of that there is a significant number of mps who have made it clear that they do not want to serve in his front bench team. the pool of people from which he could choose, if he decided to fire all 14 frontbenchers, would potentially be quite limited and he might struggle to find suitable candidates. and among those 14 frontbenchers, three quips. —— three quips, in charge of enforcing party discipline. how difficult is this going to be for them in the future? there will be some difficult conversations with mps sitting down, one of them saying that you have to obey these rules, and the other can, in all fairness, turn around and say, well, you did not obey the

rules and you got away with it so why should i. forjeremy corbyn and the party leadership, when they have a difficult vote, where they need to present a united front to the public of theirmps, present a united front to the public of their mps, actually they might find it quite difficult to persuade particularly some of the mps who are less inclined to backjeremy corbyn than they might have been before this. tom barton, our political correspondent. veterans have welcomed the government's decision to disband the team investigating allegations of abuse made against british troops in iraq. a report yesterday blamed the ministry of defence for allowing law firms to bring cases on "an industrial scale", many of which were not backed by evidence. sergeant brian wood of the princess of wales' royal regiment was wrongly accused of war crimes after a fierce battle with insurgents in iraq in 2004. he says allegations against troops were not properly scrutinised before being pursued by the inquiry. they should have looked into them

into so much detail before releasing it as a public inquiry. now going into a courtroom, you know, i've never had — i've never been in that situation before, never. having to get cross—examined in an intimidating environment like that, with people questioning and questioning my actions, i sort of questioned my actions also, because i was getting told that many times that i potentially did it wrong. i started to think — did i do it wrong? ijust knew that me and my fellow soldiers and my regiment‘s integrity and values and standards of the british army were of the highest order. campaigners have delivered a petition at downing street with fifty thousand signatures calling for theresa may to allow more child refugees to come to britain. the government this week scrapped its plans to re—home thousands of unaccompanied children from syria and other warzones, after the arrival of just 150 youngsters.

the campaign has been led by lord dubs, who himself came to britain as a refugee from the nazis at the age of six. the argument for child refugees today is a humanitarian argument. it doesn't depend upon the person who's putting the case. however, because i came to this country in that way, i have an emotional involvement with it. can i say this, this country's been wonderful to me in terms of the welcome i've received and the opportunities i've had. i would like other unaccompanied child refugees coming here to have the same warm welcome and to be given the same opportunities. some good news. a 150—year—old family wedding dress that went missing after a dry cleaners went bust has ben found. tess newall launched a campaign on social media to find the garment after the shop where it had been taken to be cleaned closed down. the dress, which has belonged to her family since 1870, was given to the 29—year—old by her grandmother to wear

on her wedding day lastjune. and i'm delighted to say that test joins us now on the line. we have been following this story through the day, tess, tell us what happened and how you found it. so my parents received a phone call this afternoon at about three o'clock from the landlord of the property where the dry cleaner is. because his nephew had read about the story from our amazing media coverage. and he said to his uncle, we need to look in the property, and he released searched and he found a pile of old lace, what he thought was the dress. he called my parents and they went straight there, and were overjoyed. they could not believe it was the

dress. we still had the ticket. but then at the same time, an official from the administration company who had been incredibly helpful and sent my parents a letter today saying that they can confirm that they have not got it, he then said that he had refused to let us take the dress home today, and said we have to wait until monday for procedural reasons, which is unbelievable. 0bviously my mum was beside herself. i was not there because i am in london, but they do assure us that we will have it back on monday. right now i have got it in my hand. so you have still not got it. it's still not been cleaned. but you are confident, are you, i mean are they planning to send to you or to your parents?m is going to be driven from edinburgh to my mum and dads house. and

hopefully i will be there with that as well. absolutely. i hate to ask you this question but how do you feel? you must be delighted?” you this question but how do you feel? you must be delighted? ijust feel? you must be delighted? ijust feel over the moon. i cannot explain it. it has been the most surreal 24 hours. my mum, who it is obviously so hours. my mum, who it is obviously so important to, she is so overjoyed. she was upset about having to hand it back to this administrator, it was unbelievable. it has been a lot of mixed emotions. and we do not quite understand why she had to hand it back to the administrator. is that right? the man was pretty strict about it, i think. my dad said we should play by the book. we just think. my dad said we should play by the book. wejust have think. my dad said we should play by the book. we just have to take their word for it. it is hard to trust them after this long. they have denied having it, having access to it. it is amazing that with all of

this media coverage, all the people, the bbc, everyone, without that we would not have ever been able to get into the property, or have known any other and servers. it is amazing and we cannot thank anyone enough. assuming you are reunited with it, fingers crossed, what do you plan to do with it? will you take it somewhere else to be cleaned? yes. it will need to be cleaned because the bottom was muddy. but i think we will take it to a lace specialist, probably in london. i am not com pletely probably in london. i am not completely sure yet, but somewhere where we cannot let it out of our sight. good luck and stay in touch. we are delighted that you found it. thank you so much for your help. lovely to talk to you, thanks. thousands of british school children are to be offered intensive lessons in cyber—security.

it's to encourage more teenagers to pursue a career in defending the country from online attacks. here's tom symonds. daniel kelly's a convicted teenage hacker, facing a jail sentence. in 2015, he took part in the massive digital break—in at the phone company talk talk. but what if his potential had been harnessed at an earlier age? he might have ended upjoining a new breed of apprentices learning the cyber security trade like these at bt‘s headquarters. with that in mind, the government is putting up £20 million for nearly 6,000 schoolchildren aged 14 and above to take four hours of cyber security lessons after school each week. we think that will help seriously with this shortage of cyber skills that we've got. now, of course, we will always keep it under review, in case this needs to get bigger, but getting it going at that scale, i think, shows serious ambition

to make sure that we can have the pipeline of talent that we will need in the years ahead. while the police are stepping up the fight, this is not a threat which can be defeated on the ground by raiding the hackers. the cyber crime battlefield will be online and britain's gchq will be its command centre. 58,000 people are now employed in the growing anti—hacking industry. but more will be needed and the government knows it has to start finding them when they are young. let's catch up with the weather. john hammond has the forecast. it is cold out there. spring seems a long way off. the results in or around but not for all. certainly some snow over the pennines and the peak district. as it gets colder again, we could see some snow at low levels in eastern counties. temperatures hovering close to freezing wherever

you are. another raw feeling day. i think the pennines will be the focus for any disruptive snowfall. the worst of it in the higher up you go. there will be rain and sleet elsewhere. no great amount of snow. something drier in the south—east. the chill will be accentuated by a brisk easterly wind. temperatures in some places no more than two or three degrees. temperatures will be slow to rise through the early part of next week. it is going to be a struggle but by midweek, for some of us, it will begin to feel a bit like spring.
