it is 6:45pm. i am chris rogers and these are the headlines — the fiance of the children's author helen bailey has been found guilty of her murder. ian stewart dumped her body ina murder. ian stewart dumped her body in a cesspit in the hope of inheriting her £4 million fortune. astronomers have discovered seven birth size planets opposite a distant star which could potentially harbour conditions to support life. a political row has broken out over a british islamic state fighter who was freed from one can obey in 2004. he is alleged to have gone on to a suicide attack in iraq. let's update you on the markets. we will return to one of our main

stories tonight. the family of a british suicide bomber who carried out an attack in iraq have denied he received £i out an attack in iraq have denied he received £1 million in compensation after being freed from guantanamo bay. it has been reported by the daily mail that jamal al—harith received the pay—out from the uk government after being freed from captivity in 2004. the family say that the figure was a group settle m e nt that the figure was a group settlement including costs the four innocent people including jamal. the daily mail says it stands by its story. shortly after he was freed from guantanamo bay, jamal al—harith originally known as ronald fiddler, spoke to the bbc, he was asked about his thoughts upon leaving the us detention camp in cuba. when i first was told, i was scared, because i had been in a cage and i didn't want to leave. my first reaction was, i

wa nt to to leave. my first reaction was, i want to go and that is what came to me. then obviously, you accept it and when they were taking aside, i could see the plane, the british plane and they had to walk us over about 200, 300 metres and as we got put in front of the british bobby in his uniform and the american soldier was taking off my chains and i wa nted was taking off my chains and i wanted to spit in his face. but obviously you have two hold yourself inside. what has been a reaction to people —— of people to you? inside. what has been a reaction to people -- of people to you? people have been fine, giving me hugs. people have said, keep strong and keep going. a lot of support. i have seen people on the other side as well but mainly people have been very supportive. because you have denied any involvement whatsoever in terrorism and since you have come home, the police have not arrested you or anything so they must be presumably happy with that situation. yet there will be people who point the finger and say, terrorist. that's right. does that

bother you? yes, it is strange because before i left, the american intelligence said we put your picture through the intelligence agencies around the world and nothing came back, you haven't even got a parking ticket. the last thing they said was, are you an acid for mis? they said was, are you an acid for mi5? they thought you were working for mis? mi5? they thought you were working for mi5? were you? no, absolutely not. what about compensation? i would like to sue them but i am hearing that it might not be possible to sue them because they see cuba as being some legal black hole and if you are an american citizen, and international law applies but if you are not, in cuba, guantanamo, no international law applies and they can do what they wa nt applies and they can do what they want with you. this is what i am being told at the moment. so you don't think you are going to get

anywhere? not really, iwill try don't think you are going to get anywhere? not really, i will try but i don't think so. i am joined by baroness pauline nevillejones, a conservative, security minister in the first year of the coalition government. it is hard to know watching that interview whether he was radicalised and certainly wasn't then or whether he ever was and we have to point out, he spent the next ten yea rs have to point out, he spent the next ten years living openly in manchester with his family and was deemed a low security risk. at some point, that all changed on the way he ended his life is certainly embarrassing for those in government between 2004 and 2010, whose job it was to assess the security threat he posed, some of the time you were there. yes and that whole story i think indicates it will be hard to know when he was radicalised, if in fa ct know when he was radicalised, if in fact he was radicalised earlier and in effect recanted and then went

back to a radical viewpoint. i think we should never know —— shall never know about the history of this man and whether the judgments made at the time by the intelligence services about his state of mind and likely attitude and actions may have been perfectly valid. it does raise the questions that i am sure you are pondering a bit tonight about whether he is just a one—off case that could never have been that clear to the intelligence services, oi’ clear to the intelligence services, or if there are others who were radicalised and no longer a danger but could still become a danger, and perhaps there needs to be a security review of how these people are monitored. this is a great problem of how you deal with people who are enemies of a society that is a free society. we could employ a very great, larger number of intelligent agents and police and we could monitor many more people in our society and it would be a less free

and nice place to live. you have to balance how much resource you are going to devote to monitoring with the values that we hold dear, like freedom of speech and freedom of movement. there is inevitably an element of risk involved. these judgments are made by professional people and they would be the first to say they won't always get it right. at some point, probably around 2013, what monitoring we do have, m15 failed to pick up he had been radicalised or even re—radicalised. he went to syria and joined islamic state. and i don't suppose they would argue with you that they didn't pick it up and it was one of the failures. what i am saying, one thing is that if we want to have a free society, we aren't going to have everybody monitored.

they have two prioritise and we have to balance the risk of people like these with the freedoms we want for ourselves. they would argue this one was a failure. when you are with a question, could they be others? my only answer is there could be. but people do their best to pick up the trail is they get people who have either recanted or have gone back being radicalised if they had previously not been apparently extremist. i think it is also true to say however, and there is evidence for this, that the number of people who are now going out to syria has very greatly diminished. as people have understood, including those who might be tempted, exactly what is is like and how brutal it is. there is much less attraction for going out than there was. the element of risk does simply remain andi element of risk does simply remain and i don't think we can deny that.

people will be watching tonight, concerned about immigration as well and concerned that there may be fewer people going to syria but there are certainly lots of people trying to come back and whether enough is being done to make us all from these people. yes and you put your finger on from these people. yes and you put yourfinger on one of from these people. yes and you put your finger on one of the things that does most concern the intelligence services, returnees. i don't think there is much doubt that will be a high priority for them and when somebody does return, they will be high on the list of people with whom it is necessary to keep in contact. and of course people return in different states of mind. some return with the intention is potentially of doing something and others return thoroughly disgusted with what they have seen and don't wa nt to with what they have seen and don't want to go anywhere near it at all. 0ne want to go anywhere near it at all. one cannot conclude that everybody who comes back as malign intentions. but weekly cannot assume that people

won't have. these are the difficult things the police and intelligence agencies have to face. thank you for your time. the communities secretary sajid javid has told the commons there will be more support announced in the budget for companies which are facing steep business rates rises in england and wales. mrjavid said more needed to be done to make the system fairer. it is clear to me that more needs to be done to level the playing field and to make the system fairer. i'm working closely with my right honourable friend the chancellor to determine how best to provide further support to businesses facing the steepest increases. we expect to be in a position to make an announcement at the time of the budget in just two week's time. we will chat more about this with

tom bateman, our political correspondence, in westminster. this caught a few of us out but it comes after a lot of pressure. we can deduce there has been something of a change of heart. it was only a few days ago the government was talking about the fact that there was transitional funds available for those being affected by the rise in business rates but the more importantly, as far as many ministers were concerned, was that most businesses would face either a reduction or their business rates stay the same. they talked about it being the biggest ever cut in business rates. we have a change in tone from the communities secretary mrjavid, talking about further support for those facing the biggest increase. it was only at the start of this week, he had written to conservative mps who were giving ministers a hard time over this, saying he thought the reporting a rise in business rates was, in his words, a relentless campaign of half—truths and distortions. a bit

ofa half—truths and distortions. a bit of a change of mind from the government over this and we will wait to see of course in the budget ina wait to see of course in the budget in a couple of weeks exactly as to what announcement there will be because it could be a reduction of the cap in the changes people will have to see or it will be a change to the whole system of re—evaluation itself. other questions being raised in westminster about the roll—out of the rise in business rates. there has been some confusion tonight around the communication of all this because the prime minister stood up at prime minister's questions and talked about those adversely affected but a spokesman after said it would not be right to be implied there was new money. we had the announcement then from mrjaved and i think some reporters were confused. this tynia gaither prime minister's official spokesman a bit ofa minister's official spokesman a bit of a grilling. —— they certainly gave the prime minister's official spokesman a bit of a grilling. we

have seen an effort by downing street tonight to say there was no inconsistency of message between mrs may and mrjaved. what has been announced today is that this is being rethought and we should probably expect some announcement in the budget. footage has been released of the near—miss involving the plane being flown by harrison ford in california. it emerged last week that the actor landed his single engine plane on a taxiway instead of the runway atjohn wayne airport. he narrowly missed an airliner with 110 people on board. latest headlines coming up but first, let'sjoin latest headlines coming up but first, let's join tomasz schafernaker with the weather. a real rough patch of weather heading our way as well. it will be

very windy. storm doris developing right now and heading straight for us. right now and heading straight for us. it will impact the uk from tomorrow morning onwards and give is quite a blow through the course of the day. the initial problem will be the day. the initial problem will be the snow through the course of tonight and into morning. southern uplands and lowlands of scotland, outskirts of glasgow and edinburgh could get some snow. the worst of the weather will be the wind slamming into north—western parts of england, wales, northern england, the midlands and into east anglia. amber warning in force. these winds we often get in the winter but often the north west coast of scotland get them and the difference with these, they will go inland and cause problems. our infrastructure doesn't have to deal with these sorts of winds very often. we could even see some damage like this, if you are unlucky so the main message tomorrow is to take it steady and take care. hello and welcome to 100 days. mexico says it will not accept

new us plans to send millions of illegal immigrants back across the border. and they will not hesitate to approach the united nations to defend immigrants, says the foreign minister of mexico. the strong words come as the us head of homeland security and the secretary of state head to mexico to discuss the immigration crackdown. the white house will scrap guidelines that say transgender students should be allowed to use bathrooms which match their chosen gender identity. the british is bomber released from guantanamo bay and then rewarded. has president trump been vindicated? also..."last night in sweden"... ..the president was ridiculed, but now a riot in a suburb of stockholm perhaps suggests that there are problems with immigration in sweden.
