this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at three: a woman has died in the centre of wolverhampton after being hit by falling debris as storm doris brings high the latest storms have caused major travel disruption across the uk with flights cancelled, and falling trees affecting rail and road journeys. it definitely has materialise. the gusts are so powerful i can't even face the direction the wind is coming from. net migration falls for the first time in two years, although it remains well above the government's target. prisons are explicitly to become places of rehabilitation as well as punishment under new government plans. iraqi forces seize mosul airport from the so—called islamic state. and in the next hour we'll hear

about new life—saving technology. safety experts say a voice, rather than a beep, in a smoke alarm is much more likely to wake up the kids. and a bbc investigation finds a driver who is still legally on the road with 62 points on their licence — tens of thousands of others have more than 12. a woman has been killed as storm doris continues to batter parts of the uk with winds of up to 100 miles an hour. ambulance staff said the woman

suffered serious head injuries after being hit in the head by a piece of debris in wolverhampton. meanwhile, about 3,500 homes and businesses are still without power in northern ireland. that's down from more than 20,000 buildings that were plunged into darkness when the storm hit. network teams say trees and branches falling onto overhead electricity lines is the main cause of the damage. and there have also been extensive power cuts in scotland, where heavy snow is causing chaos on the roads. let's go to wolverhampton, where a woman died when debris fell onto the street. sarah bishop is there for us. we've got a cluster of police and

fire officers behind us. this city centre has been closed off. starbucks is whether women is believed to have been killed. we don't understand what had her at the moment —— hit her. all the police are saying it is related to storm doris but what i'm hearing on the ground is that a young women, late 20s to mid—30s, was over there where you can see the fire officers when something from a roof, we're not sure which is, in a gust of wind came down, hit her on the head, she suffered severe head trauma and was confirmed dead at the scene shortly afterwards. we have had a statement in the last few minutes from starbucks. they say from central london that they are shocked and saddened by this terrible incident and that they are helping police with their investigations. i rang

the shop and the manager told me that everyone there is quite shook up. the shop is now shut for the foreseeable future. we got a recovery vehicle at the road behind me. behind this burger van, there is a substantial piece of wood. it's not confirmed whether it was that piece of wood that hit this woman. we have no identification of this woman. i understand the police are still trying to locate her relatives and give them the sad news. the winds early were extremely strong and forceful. they're. i don't know what the official estimates of the speeds of the winds have been in the middle this afternoon, but certainly we felt it here. we've been nearly blown off our feet and the west midlands police fire service are really taking no risks about the city this lunchtime because they got

other fire crews around the city centre. as i was walking up, a fire officer said no, madam, centre. as i was walking up, a fire officersaid no, madam, don't walk that way. they are making sure anything that could come down and cause a repeat of this kind of incident doesn't happen again. thank you for the latest from wolverhampton, sarah. 0ur news correspondent alison freeman is in blackpool and has the latest. we've just watched this storm on full throughout the morning unfold throughout the morning as the wind has become more and more powerful. it's so strong that i can't look into it and this foam that's being from the sea is actually more like being in a blizzard. if you look behind us, the barometer for how strong the wind has been others bending sculptures, which are meant to bend in the wind. they have become almost parallel with the ground at points today and if you look out to sea, those waves are really far back. the tide has gone out, but the foam keeps blowing in against us.

these winds are really strong and powerful. they're pushing us around, making us feel battered like the coastline. they are expected to stay at this peak until about 6pm. we've been talking to a correspondent on merseyside were there still reports of travel disruption. it is still choppy on the mersey at the moment. the port of liverpool is closed. we've had gusts of up to 100 miles an hour. the whole of the coastline has been battered as you know, but really there is a lot of travel disruption here in the north west region. at manchester airport, there are some cancellations today and an icelandair flight was trying to land but the pilot

declared an emergency. it took a couple of attempts to land that plane, so cancellations on the isle of man and on the trains, cancellations, disruptions on local, regional service on the west coast main line but on the north west motorway policing unit are asking people not to travel. there are closures on the m6 and the m56 and other routes have been affected by falling trees, which has caused casualties. we heard about a man in his 60s in the crosby area who was hit by a falling tree and had to be treated by paramedics. another woman has been injured when a tree fell on her car. we are hearing of casualties in the region but the picture here at the moment is severe travel disruption. people are being advised not to go out and travel today.

we'll have a full weather forecast at half past with the very latest on storm doris. net migration to the uk has dropped to 273,000 in the year to september. the fall is the first time net migration has dipped below 300,000 in two years, and the lowest level recorded sincejune 2014. but it is still well above the government's target figure. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw gave us more details. the office for national statistics which compiled the data are saying they are not statistically significant is because they are based on a survey and a survey has a margin of error which means that a fall of 119,000 on the estimate is not something you can read very much into. however, it is politically significant because the government has this target to get net migration

down to below 100,000 on these figures indicate it is going on the right direction although it is still a long way off and is also significant politically because these are the first figures which ta ke these are the first figures which take a bit of data from after brexit and there will be some who might say, this shows that people aren't so say, this shows that people aren't so willing to come to the uk because of the eu referendum vote or that in numbers and so there may be some significance read into that, although i think it is too early days to draw any firm conclusions. we've been asking the home secretary amber rudd for her views and this is what she told us earlier. eu migration is largely stable and the fact that some polls are going back as part of a long—term trend but at the moment, we have open immigration with the eu members, freedom of movement so they can come and go as they want. i don't see any particularly significant change within the eu migration. the real change will be when we leave the eu and then we will be able to make

the choices ourselves, what level of immigration we want, which is what we're seeing in non—eu migration. what about the number of people applying to be british citizens, how do you interpret those figures? these are interesting because they're firm figures, they are not based on survey data, and they show the number of eu nationals, citizens from eu living in the uk, who are applying for a residence, permanent residence cards which they are entitled to do up five years, has rocketed in the past year. in 2016, 60 5000 people from eu countries plus other countries that are members of the european economic area we re members of the european economic area were granted permanent residence cards. these are not cars that they have two have, you're entitled to stay in britain after five years if you're from the eu but i think it's a sign that eu citizens are anxious about their status and

they want to confirm with the authorities and show that the ad entitled to be here and having a ca rd entitled to be here and having a card like that will allow them to do so. card like that will allow them to do so. there's also been an increase in the number of eu citizens who have been granted uk to the max it is an ship which they can apply for after six years. ministers are calling it the biggest reform of prisons in england and wales for a generation. for the first time, the government will state in black and white that a key purpose of prison is to reform offenders, as well as to punish them. at the heart of the changes will be dealing with drugs and violence in prisons, and also cutting re—offending rates. here's our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford. the last year has been one of the worse for prisons since the 1980s. as the staff cuts from five years ago started to bite and phones and drugs flooded in, violence soared. somejails have been close to crisis point.

but there are prisons like hmp 0nley in warwickshire, which despite their own problems of drugs and violence still managed to prepare inmates for life on the outside. this man is coming to the end of a two—year sentence for violence and is training for a job as a bike technician at halfords. he told me his experience ofjail has been mixed. when i was in pentonville, we were locked up 23 hours of the day, treated like animals. we had to ask for toilet paper and basic common decency. coming here now, it looks like a completely different prison. at the heart of the government's new proposals is the decision to define for the first time in law what the purpose of prison is and that is not only to punish, but also to rehabilitate, to prevent criminals offending again. and as well as today's prisons and courts bill, the

justice secretary liz truss is reversing many of the cuts made by one of her tory predecessors, chris grayling. those cuts were a mistake, went they? a mistake, weren't they? i think it was always right to look at how we can be more efficient but what i'm saying now is we need the right number of prison officers to be able to turn those lights around. in hmp 0nley‘s training cafe, a reminder of why rehabilitation is important — a drug dealer serving seven years who had been to prison before. it hadn't stopped him reoffending. once i got released, i try to search for a job but i wasn't qualified and had no know—how. therefore i got back into old ways and ended up back injail. today's bill also tackles measures about mobile phones in prisons, new laws to help the authorities intercept devices

used to organise crime from behind bars. labour said the it was an inadequate response to a prison crisis that developed on the government's watch. the government are saying that prison has to be about reform as well as punishment. that's a laudable aim, isn't it? i've always agreed and labour has was agreed that prisons are about punishment and protecting society but the ad also about rehabilitation. i don't think that anything new. it's a symbolic gesture that i welcome, but i'm not sure what that change is in reality, if real change to solve this prisons crisis isn't delivered. this is being billed as the biggest overhaul of prisons in a generation. is that how you see it? liz truss

has trumpeted this as being the biggest piece of legislation on prisons, the most major piece of legislation on prisons in the last 19 years or so but prisons make for the minority of the bill and despite the minority of the bill and despite the fine rhetoric, this prisons bill will not solve the prisons crisis of drugs, violence, disorder and failure to deliver rehabilitation that has developed on the government's watches 2010. come on, surely the problems in britain's prisons didn't start in 2010, it's been going on for years and years under labour governments as well as conservatives. that's not what prison officers tell me. prisons have never been perfect, of course, but a big significant change which has led to this prisons crisis that you've shown and demonstrated in your package, is a decision since

2010 by the government to reduce the number of prison officers by 7000, a reduction of over a third, which has led to prisons being less safe, less able to deliver rehabilitation and it has led to prison officers leaving the prison service in d roves. leaving the prison service in droves. how much would a labour government spending financial terms to end this crisis, as you put it? it isn't just about spending to end this crisis, as you put it? it isn'tjust about spending money but i do welcome the fact that liz truss seems to be on the very edge 110w truss seems to be on the very edge now of admitting that the cuts under her predecessors were a mistake. but it is about money if you are talking about recruiting extra prison officers saw how much would you spend? won't be can do is ensure that there are at least the same number of prisoners that there were in 2010 because the prison population hasn't gone down by the number of prison officers has gone down. how much would that cost, to be clear on that? i'm not going to be making any spending amounts ——

announcements live on the television today. liz truss has announced an attempted to 2500 extra prison officers but because of the crisis that has developed on the conservative government's watch, to recruit an extra 2500 prison officers following the cuts will likely mean recruiting 8000 prison officers because officers are leaving our service at such a rate that they will need 8000 extra prison officers to get the two and half thousand increase. is it not also about cutting prisoner numbers? former home secretary jacqui also about cutting prisoner numbers? former home secretaryjacqui smith said it should be ridges from what it was by 80,000 to 40,000, so would you agree with that kind of reduction? is that something in labour government would aim for? jacqui smith, the former home secretary, ken clarke, the former

conservative home secretary and nick clegg performer lib dem leader saying that, calling for the reduction in prison numbers. it's not labour's policy to have an arbitrary reduction in prison numbers but what we do have to look at is how a sensible and open—minded conversation about sentencing. we agree that labour is firm, that people who are a danger to society need to be locked up and we've also got to consider is prison the most appropriate place? prison for example for a few weeks for someone who has failed to pay a fine for not paying a tv licence, we don't want prisons to become academies of crime whereby the majority of people who leave prison, most people do leave prison, end up leaving prison more likely to have a drug addiction than when they went in and more likely to commit crime than many wedding —— fan when they went in. thanks for

talking to us. the headlines: widespread damage as storm doris lashes the uk — a woman in wolverhampton has been killed after being hit with debris. storm. this has created travel disruption and trees have fallen. net migration falls for the first time in two years — although it remains well above the government's target. prisons are explicitly to become places of rehabilitation as well as punishment, under new government plans. mercedes have shown of their car for the new formula one season. lewis hamilton wasjoined the new formula one season. lewis hamilton was joined by the new formula one season. lewis hamilton wasjoined by his new team—mate. jonny sexton will play his first match of the six nations campaign. he is back in as fly—half for ireland's match against frowns

in dublin on saturday. —— france. changes have been made to the team that will play at murrayfield on saturday. the captain will take over from greg laidlaw. i'll be more with those stories that have passed. it's taken four years to get through parliament, but today the go—ahead will finally be given for work to begin on the first phase of the high speed rail link between london and birmingham. critics say the project is a waste of money, and will damage the environment. but supporters say it will boost the economy and the number of people be able to travel by rail. phase one is due to open in 2026, at a cost of more than 55 billion pounds. more of us are using the railways than ever before. it means busier stations and busier trains. and so the government says hs2 is the answer. but is it? i'm taking a journey on the first stage of the route from london

to birmingham to see what impact it could have. the biggest challenge is tackling overcrowding. the current tracks and stations cannot handle many more passengers. but as well as running more frequently, the trains will be faster as well, and that is good news for passengers. thank you. sometimes you do not get enough carriages, which can be a problem, and it is really crowded on the trains. a lot of people are standing up. i regard getting on the train as work time, so if you cannot sit down, you feel frustrated about that lost hour. it is notjust commuters who stand to gain from the new railway. we will average around 10,000 jobs over the first phase of construction, peaking at 25,000 jobs a month. and that is just during construction. there will be tens of thousands maintaining and running it when we are in operation. that could mean an even greater economic benefit. take this journey, for example. about one hour and 20 minutes. we are 50 minutes into the journey. but if this was an hs2 train, we would already be in birmingham. and that means spending less time

travelling and more time working. and one estimate suggests that could add about £15 billion to the economy. but at what cost? the current price tag is close to £60 billion. but many say it could be much higher. 60 ancient woodlands would have to be bulldozed. 350 homes will have to be demolished. and thousands of businesses will be affected, like this farm in buckinghamshire. the land will be split in two when work begins. it is going to completely alter the way i farm. i would lose half of the grazing my calves can go out to. i am not convinced hs2 is of any necessity to this country at all. the first section to the west midlands is due to open by 2026. an extension to leeds and manchester will open by 2032. hs2 should make journeys faster and more comfortable. keeping the project on time

and on track could prove more difficult, however. the white house has put an end to government protection for transgender students. president trump has revoked rules from the 0bama administration which gave pupils in public schools the right to use toilets matching their chosen gender identity — the ones they felt most comfortable with. advocates for tra nsgender rights argue they were needed to prevent discrimination. jess herbst is the mayor of new hope, texas, and the first openly transgender official to be elected in the southern state. she's been telling us what effect the change in the bathroom bill will have on transgender rights. president trump is saying, oh, it's a states' rights issue. do my rights, do the transgender rights of a transgender child's right change

when they cross state borders? when we were going through the civil rights movement of 1965, did we say, oh, we'll leave the states to decide which states can allow discrimination against blacks and which don't? no, it's not a states' rights issue. transgender rights are human rights. they are universal across the world, much as across the united states. it's just honestly, just donald trump, sorry, president trump, campaigned originally on transgender rights are ok with him. caitlyn jenner can go to the bathroom wherever she wants. he really doesn't have anti—tra nsgender feelings. but what he's doing at this point is pandering to the religious right who helped get him elected, and he is giving this to them as a bonus to say, thank you for electing me. it is really not even something that he believes in. his vice—president on the other hand has a long track record of transphobia and homophobia. and this is just that coming out. let's get more reaction to this story. 0ur correspondentjane

0'brien is in washington. what are the reaction has there been to this? i think the reaction you just had there is pretty typical of those who were very supportive of the 0bama administration guidelines, which basically said that students should be able to use the bathroom of their choice. this was a row, the bathroom orders as they are locally known, was sparked by north carolina who started to enshrine in law the fa ct who started to enshrine in law the fact that students should use the bathroom that corresponds with the gender on their birth certificate and that is where the 0bama administration decided that there was a breach of civil rights and that transgender students needed to be protected. critics say that it was federal government overreach and that the 0bama administration really shouldn't have waded into an argument that they felt was more of argument that they felt was more of a moral issue in many cases than an

actual legal issue and it was also the view that schools had to take into account, that many parents felt uncomfortable with the idea of girls and bathrooms with boys who may not actually be transgender students, so it was a very complicated situation to the reaction today is pretty much as you would expect, those who advocate for gender rights, transgender rights, advocate for gender rights, tra nsgender rights, pretty advocate for gender rights, transgender rights, pretty much as you just heard, those who think it was a good idea for the government to back out of this issue are relieved that president trump has ascended the 0bama guidelines. what do you think the impact of these changes will be? what happens if transgender students use tra nsgender students use bathrooms that match their gender identity? it's a very complicated situation

and it is bedevilled by the fact that nobody is entirely certain how many transgender students this actually affects and also there is no reported incident of a transgender student being discriminated against. having said that, a transgender student has taken on a court case in virginia which is going towards the supreme court next month so there is a lot of legal wrangling to go to this case isn't over yet. thank you, jane. the iraqi army has captured mosul airport from fighters from self—styled islamic state. the battle for the western half of the city began earlier this month, and the capture of the airport will be seen as a major strategic victory in the fight for the country's second biggest city. 0ur correspondent quentin sommerville is the only western correspondent travelling

with iraqi government forces, and has sent this report. you can hear gunfire in one of the last remaining villages between iraqi forces and mosul airport. these armoured columns are moving from various directions and you can hear coalition aircraft above. they have been hammering this area all night long in preparation for the attack. at the same time, the iraqi government have been dropping leaflets warning people to stay in their homes. yesterday we were able to see in some of the areas to the north of us, the islamic state flag still flying. well, these men are going to try and change that because the attack on mosul airport is now under way. iraqi forces have made it to the perimeter of mosul‘s airport. just over here, you can see the airport stretching out. it's about four kilometres

wide, apparently. that sugar factory to the left of the picture, yesterday the islamic state flag was hanging from there. it's no longer hanging there. all around this area, there have been heavy air strikes. we can see massive craters. the village behind us, which was the last stronghold of the islamic state, was effectively taken last night. the men have been moving through the village. we are now on the airfield of mosul airport. that's the iraqi flag you can see flying. those are federal police units and in the distance, you can see burning and smoke from some of the terminal buildings. in the last few minutes, so—called islamic state have been mortaring this position. an armoured column of iraqi security forces were going down the road towards the airport when one of them

hit a roadside bomb, an ied. a lieutenant was killed and we believe there were other casualties as well. you might be able to hear the helicopters ahead. they are going to press on with their attack on the airport to try to make it to the terminal buildings. that's the target. iraqi forces are now inside mosul airport. and we can catch up on the weather. you have got the all update on storm doris. things are beginning to ease down. it has probablyjust about peaked. but strong gusts. 70 an hour. particularly at the norfolk coast. that amber warning still in

place but it is a calming down process. still some showers, wintry showers, ice as temperatures get close to freezing. it could be a slippery start to your morning but much more tranquil compared to today. for england and wales, although you are going to have some elderly, —— early showers always drier and brighter south and east. hello. this is the bbc news. the headlines: a woman has died in wolverhampton city centre after being hit by debris during storm doris. ambulance staff say she suffered ‘very serious head injuries.‘ the storm is causing widespread

travel disruption on the roads and railways. heavy rain, snow and strong winds are lashing much of the uk. official figures show net migration to the uk has fallen to 273,000. it's the lowest level for more than two years, but still well above the government's target figure of under 100,000. prisons should not only punish criminals but reform them too, according to ministers who want a complete overhaul of the prison system in england and wales. now for the sport. world champion constructors mercedes have unveiled their new car for the upcoming formula 1 season. it will be going a lot faster than this when the season starts next month in australia... but for now lewis hamilton, who was joined by new team mate valtteri bottas today, took the car for a few laps around a very blustery silverstone.

hamilton said the car felt "incredible". fly halfjohnny sexton returns to the ireland side for this saturday's six nations match with france in dublin. sexton missed ireland's first two games with a calf injury, but has been named in the starting 15 — with paddy jackson dropping to the bench. captain rory best also returns at hooker, having missed the win over italy through illness. rob kearney is also fit and will start at full back. also in the six nations, vern cotter has made five changes to scotland's side that will face wales at murrayfield on saturday. flankerjon barclay plays his rugby in wales with the scarlets and will captain the team in the absence of the injured greig laidlaw. ali price will play at scrum half. prop gordon reid, back rows john hardie and ryan wilson, and wing tim visser will also start. tottenham are hoping to secure a place in the last 16 of the europa league, when they host gent in front of a sell—out crowd at wembley tonight. mauricio pochettino's side are looking to overturn a 1—0 deficit from the first leg

in belgium last week. we were poor. they were better. but that has not surprised me because we we were poor. they were better. but that iabout surprised me because we we were poor. they were better. but that iabout sui quality, e because we we were poor. they were better. but that iabout sui quality, and cause we we were poor. they were better. but that iabout sui quality, and we se we we were poor. they were better. but that iabout sui quality, and we now ‘e know about the quality, and we now how they play. up to us to be better. too sure that we deserve to go to the next round. jose mourinho isn't happy with the fa. manchester united's fa cup quarterfinal has been scheduled for a monday night, three days before the second leg of their last 16 tie in the europa league. mourinho says he won't play a weakened side in the cup, though. we are manchester united. i cannot do that. i cannot do that as the manchester united manager. i would not do that to the fa cup. because

the fa cup is not guilty of these decisions. it is beautiful, such a historical competition. i have got to treat manchester united supporters and the fa cup correctly. i cannot go with the u21s. wayne rooney's agent is in china trying to agree a deal for the england and manchester united captain to play in the country's super league. rooney arrived at old trafford 13 years ago and has gone on to become the club's record goalscorer. but the 31—year—old is currently out of favour underjose mourinho. his agent paul stretford is in china negotiating with interested clubs. it's thought a summer move more likely, than a deal being agreed before next tuesday's chinese transfer deadline. west ham united manager slaven bilic has admitted that a series of niggling injuries are ruining andy carroll's england chances. the striker has been in great form for west ham when fit. he's currently sidelined with a groin strain and has only made 16 appearances for the club this season. when he is playing, fit, for me he

isa when he is playing, fit, for me he is a top striker. but i told him in dubai and yesterday that the small things ruling, damaging his return are no good for him, us, a call up for the england squad. manny pacquiao and britain's amir khan have announced a deal is being negotiated for a possible fight. pacquaio's twitter followers recently voted khan as the opponent they would most like to see him take—on next. khan hasn't boxed since a defeat to saul alvarez last may. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. the murderer of the children's author helen bailey has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of her killing. the judge said ian stewart would have to spend at least 34 years behind bars,

saying it was "difficult to imagine a more heinous crime". stewart drugged and suffocated helen bailey before throwing her body in a cesspit, hidden under the garage of their hertfordshire home. 0ur correspondent was at court when the sentence was handed down. ian stewart chose not to be present while the sentencing took place, but the judge directed his comments towards him anyway. he said while helen bailey was excitedly planning your wedding you were planning to kill her. he said that she was at the height of her success when you brought her life to a cruel end. and dumped her beloved boris and her in a foul smelling cesspit. as you say she was worth around £3 million and he said he was not content to share her wealth is a husband, he wanted it all for himself he said. the judge told him it was difficult

to imagine a more heinous crime to plan the premedication. he went to considerable lengths to cover the bodies and he said he had told lies. sitting in court behind me was jamie, ian stewart's son, and yesterday while the verdicts were read out he did not look at his father at all. today he just sat there motionless and behind him wasjohn bailey, helen bailey's brother. the two sat there listening to the comments. ian stewart had lied to his family and helen bailey's family and to the police. the family sitting through six weeks of harrowing evidence and today finally it is coming to a close. he was sentenced to a minimum of 34 years and that means ian stewart will not be eligible for parole until he is 90. voters are going to the polls in two

parliamentary by—elections — in cumbria and in staffordshire. it follows the resignations of labour mps jamie reed in copeland and tristram hunt in stoke on trent central. the polls are open until ten o'clock tonight, and the results are expected at around three o'clock tomorrow morning. eating ten portions of fruit and veg a day can help us live longer. a study by imperial college london shows that consuming small amounts has a health benefit, but more is better. however, public health england says that putting pressure on us to eat more fruit and veg creates an ‘unrealistic expectation‘. joining me earlier via webcam was professor tom sanders, emeritus professor of nutrition & dietetics at king‘s college london.

i asked him what he thought about the recommended intake of ten a day. i think it is too much. the study asked people how much fruit and veg that they eat and people tend to exaggerate. people who have probably said that they eat ten portions have probably been getting closer to five. that is the first point. if you have huge amounts of fruit and veg, 800 grams, that does not leave much for you to eat. and we get nutrients from other food, such as meat, fish, dairy, nuts. fruit and veg themselves are healthy, and the advice is to try to get five portions a day but i am not convinced you could get any benefit from eating huge amounts, particularly when you have sugar and potassium. we have got some portions. ten.

i do not know exactly what you count as a portion. carrots. grapes. bananas. that is a lot. it certainly would be for me. but what is a portion? people talk about five a day. in weight, 80 grams. but something like a banana, it is 110. satsuma, 50. it is a little bit variable. but a lot of people, about 20%, do not have any fruit and veg at all. we have to get those people eating some fruit and veg, going for five a day, rather than focusing

on the worried well. eating huge amounts on the basis of this research. and the people who are not having any, five is an aspiration but it is better to have something, even if it is just a couple of apples? what is not included in this, potatoes. and potatoes are a vegetable, good source of vitamins c. i would try to eat at least one bit of fruit a day, two or three vegetables. i think large amounts of fruit juice is not a good idea because it is also high in sugar. one small glass a day. and what are the benefits? we are talking about trying to avoid cancer, heart disease? just spell out exactly what fruit and veg does over the long term ?

i think the best evidence, it probably reduces the risk of stroke. and that is linked to raised blood pressure. eating some fruit and veg helps lower blood pressure. and that is important, also contributing to a lower risk of heart disease. we had high hopes for the link between fruit and veg and cancer, but trials carried out could not show any benefit. i think they actually bulk out the diet. and stop you over consuming. that is one of the reasons why we have tried to get people to look at your plate, make sure that at least one third is going to be made up of vegetables and that is going to stop you

eating more fatty and sugary foods. that contributes to weight gain. we‘re all told to fit fire alarms in our homes, but new research suggests that when they go off like this... beeps. most children aren‘t woken up by the noise. the study was carried out after a fire in derby in 2013 which killed six children. it had been deliberately started by the parents, but investigators think the children died because they didn‘t hear the smoke detectors going off. so now they‘re developing new alarms, specially designed to wake children, as our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. smoke alarms save lives, but last year 300 people died in fires in england alone, too often where there was no working alarm in the home. derbyshire fire service use this

old shipping container to train fire investigators. let‘s see how quickly a blaze would spread in a bedroom. the smoke alarm in this demonstration activated within seconds of the fire starting, giving minutes to escape. but research by derbyshire fire and dundee university found children are often not roused by the sound of a standard smoke detector. melanie wilkins from mansfield has tested her smoke alarm many times at night and only once has any of her four boys woken up. alarm: wake up, the house is on fire. now, she‘s trying something different, and alarm with a low pitched tone... alarm: wake up, the house is on fire. ...and a human voice. it wakes all four boys immediately. it's like a voice of a parent that they're used to listening to day in, day out. maybe subconsciously, that's what they're hearing when the alarm is going off. the new alarm was designed

with the help of her uncle dave kos, a fire investigator. good boy, ready. prompted by a notorious case in derby when these six children died in a house fire, deliberately set by their father mick philpott. dave kos says more often than not, smoke alarms simply don‘t wake children. unfortunately that was the first one that brought it to my attention, but since that day i can probably recount at least half a dozen fires where children failed to respond from sleep and have then become trapped the wrong side of a fire and have unfortunately died. derbyshire fire service and dundee university want 500 families to test the prototype alarm. researchers predict alarms with the human voice will eventually be commonplace. alarm: wake up, the house is on fire.

quite often we hear alarms going off, we don't quite know whether they are just a warning or if it's for real. so putting the human voice into that, i think is going to be one of the key important additional things that we'll bring to alarms in the future. fire investigators stress that standard smoke alarms are still vital in every home. they do wake adults. but parents need to know, it could be up to them to wake their children in the event of a fire. in a moment, a summary of the business news this hour. first, the headlines on bbc news: a woman has died in the centre of wolverhampton after being hit by falling debris. storm doris has caused travel disruption with flights cancelled, and fallen trees affecting rail and road journeys. net migration falls for the first time in two years, although it remains well above the government‘s target. prisons are explicitly to become places of rehabilitation as well as punishment, under new government plans. in the business news...

barclays has reported a jump in annual profits to £3.2 billion for 2016. barclays has been selling off parts of the business that are seen as non—core. it‘s also going to close down its africa business six months earlier than expected. british gas owner centrica has returned to profit after making a large loss in 2015. british gas has said the competitive nature of the uk‘s energy market was one of the reasons why its profits fell last year. the company said this was partly due to a 3% fall in customer accounts, largely in the first half of the year. french carmaker psa, which owns the peugeot and citroen brands, says net profit for 2016 nearly doubled. it‘s pushing plans to buy general motors‘ european brands 0pel and vauxhall. profit rose 79%. the carmaker promised to pay shareholder dividends

for the first time since 2011. as you heard there, barclays‘ profits have almost trebled. the bank has also reduced the amount of money paid out in customer compensation from £2.7 billion to £1 billion. the bank‘s chief executive, jess staley, told the bbc the bank was preparing to add hundreds of staff to offices in dublin, frankfurt and milan to counter brexit risks to its european business. speaking to our business editor, simonjack, he says the bank is committed to the uk. we are looking at contingencies. we have got subsidiary banks in ireland and large operations in germany, the largest credit card operator. looking at the options to operate across europe, should we lose the single market because of brexit. but i do not think those plans reflect any dramatic departure.

we could add some people at dublin, and across europe but we‘re going to continue to believe that london is going to be the financial centre for europe even without the single market and we are committed. now british gas has said the competitive nature of the uk‘s energy market was one of the reasons why its profits fell last year. the firm has reported a 4% rise in operating profit for 2016 to £1.52bn. the chief executive, iain conn, explains why the profit fall. of of many things have been going on. but actually, the big thing has been competitive pressure. and profits are down. 553 million, down 11%. and people have to remember that that

there is one third of profit, people focus on much own energy in the united kingdom. we have got costs coming through, we have lost customers and competitive pressure, compressing margins. we are managing to offset most of that, with the cost programme. profits are down. all this week, the bbc is running a series called disability works. it‘s a week of coverage looking at how businesses work with people with disabilities. think of the world of beauty and glamour. many people don‘t imagine that disabled people have a part in it. but a number of disabled people are starting businesses in the sector. one of them is hula arif, who started the pro beauty clinic in in south london, two years ago. if she suffers from a rare disorder called transverse mylitis, which means she is partially paralysed from the chest down. she says there‘s no reason disabled people should feel shut out of the world of glamour.... hello. i run a business. a beauty

clinic. we specialise with hair removal, tattoo removal. my disability, it is quite rare. high developed that that the age 12. 0f disability, it is quite rare. high developed that that the age 12. of i was in hospital, paralysed from the chest down. eye move crutches with but that my business, i am holding the walls, stabilising myself. when the walls, stabilising myself. when the telephone rings, it is difficult ifiam the telephone rings, it is difficult if i am not at reception. 0bviously i want to go and get the telephone but i am limited because of the disability. i make up for not being able to move around so easily by specialising in a lot of treatments that normal beauty therapists do not have the ability to do. mole

removal... because i am able to set down and do them. they have said that glamour and disability do not mix, but however i am opening this beauty salon and that shows you that it can mix. at the beginning i thought it was embarrassing, people looking at me, staring, but as the clients got to know me, i was no longer self—conscious. i am just as glamorous as them. even more! and you can find out more on the spatial coverage of this issue on the website. and we can take a quick look at the markets.

i will be back later with more of the business news. an investigation by bbc southeast has found that around 10,000 motorists were still driving last month, despite having too many penalty points on their licence. usually drivers are banned when they exceed 12 points. but magistrates are allowed to waive the rule in cases of ‘exceptional hardship‘. supporters say it gives drivers another chance, but critics say bending the rules puts other people at risk. 0ur correspondent david rhodes has more. from speeding to drink—driving, failing to have insurance or causing a collision on the road, penalty points are given to motorists when they break the law. 12 active points on a licence usually means a driver will be banned for a minimum of six months. but figures obtained by the bbc, showjust under 10,000 drivers are still on the roads despite having 12 or more points. most are found in england, with the largest number being in greater london. although one driver in

west yorkshire is still on the road despite having more than 60 points on their licence. the law doesn‘t seem to be working at the moment. we‘ve got people obviously being caught and going through the justice system but actually this whole points system seems to be making a mockery of that. drivers are getting away with repeatedly breaking the law. motorists with 12 points can appeal to a magistrates‘ courtjust as this one and claim that a driving ban would bring exceptional hardship upon their lives, meaning they‘d lose a job or be unable to care for a family member. there is no definition in law though, as to what exceptional hardship means. so one magistrate may decide if a driving ban would cause someone to lose theirjob, that is exceptional hardship. another magistrate may decide it isn‘t. every ban is considered on a case—by—case basis. the government says the vast majority of drivers with 12 points are automatically disqualified and only in exceptional circumstances can judges decide not to issue a ban. the fact remains though,

that there are drivers who have continually broken the law, who are still on our roads. now to a modern day version of cat and mouse where in this case, the mouse is a flying drone and the cats, a group of rather large siberian tigers. the rare tigers were being filmed in north east china. they can be seen chasing a bird before they spotted the drone which was filming them, hovering above. it didn‘t take long before the electronic device became an unfortunate chew toy for the well—nourished group. ido i do not think that is good to satisfy their hunger! the drone at least managing to capture some incredible pictures before it was destroyed. presumably, another camera filming

them at this point. getting me confused. i am them at this point. getting me confused. iam not them at this point. getting me confused. i am not sure i should be examining that. interesting. good pictures. and the latest weather forecast. that was amazing. and the weather, it is still pretty rough but we are getting to the end of storm doris. it was peaking as it was crossing across the country and we can look at some of the gusts. not necessarily the top ones. weybourne, very windy. and these sort of pictures, repeating themselves across the united kingdom. nice weather if you can deal with snow!

that was across scotland. not great but also some good pictures. this is when we had the strongest winds. even london, earlier. but most of the bad winds across the midlands and east anglia. by the middle of the evening, we can say goodbye to those. and it is going to be quite maintained. nine o‘clock, if you are going to be travelling, it is going lighter. showers dotted around. these are the gusts. and we had double that, across so many places. but descriptively much better from nine o‘clock, ten o‘clock. ice going to be the hazard. certainly going to have a touch of frost, and then

tomorrow it is great to be quite. some sunshine around, but things are going to slow down. no stormy weather. chilly side. six in glasgow. just about double figures for london. the weekend is going to be mixed. big low. and a lot of isobars. it is going to be boss terry on saturday. particularly western areas. but relatively mild air. we are talking double figures. this is a look at sunday. the same thing continues. and most of the rain is going to fall across these north western areas. 12 in london. finally quite 9—dart shoot—0ut. this is bbc news.

the headlines at 4pm: a woman has died in the centre of wolverhampton after being hit by falling debris, as storm doris brings high winds and driving rain across britain. the latest storms have caused major travel disruption, with flights cancelled, and falling trees affecting rail and road journeys. net migration falls to its lowest level in more than two years, but it‘s still well above the government‘s target. prisons are to become places of rehabilitation as well as punishment under radical new proposals. iraqi forces seize mosul airport from so—called islamic state after a four—hour battle. in the next hour, we‘ll hear about new life—saving technology.
