this morning's reviewers are the deputy head of sport for the sun, martin lipton, and the evening standard's columnist, rosamund urwin. good morning and welcome to bbc news. tributes are being paid to chuck berry, the singer and guitarist who's died at the age of 90. police say emergency services were called to his home in missouri yesterday, but were unable to revive him. a rock'n'roll pioneer, his hits such as roll over beethoven and johnny b goode helped define the genre, and influenced a raft of artists from the rolling stones to the beatles. our arts correspondent, david sillito, looks back at his life. # deep down in louisiana close to new orleans # way back up in the woods among the evergreen # iheresto-- -. ' # where lived a country boy named johnny b goode...# johnny b goode. # sweet little 16. ..#

sweet little 16. # it's a jumpin little record i want myjockey to play...# roll over beethoven. if any one person could claim to have invented rock'n'roll, it was chuck berry. # maybellene, why can't you be true...# his formula — take rhythm and blues, mix it with country and add electric guitar and sing about the stuff that teenagers care about. that's why i wrote about school. half of the young people go to school. and i wrote about life. half of the people have cars, i wrote about cars and mostly all the people, if they're not now, the 152mm charles berry was born in st louis, missouri. as a teenager, he spent time in prison for armed robbery, he married young, trained as a hairdresser and his hobby was guitar. # maybellene. ..# it was muddy waters who suggested he record a song at the legendary chess studios. of course, he was only one of many rock'n'roll pioneers. and another spell in prison, a conviction for immorality

with a 14—year—old girl, halted his career. # up in the mornin' and out to school # was sweeping america. he was, though, something of a loner. he'd often turn up and play with whoever was around. sometimes, he wouldn't even hand out a set list, he knew everyone would know the songs. as his fan, keith richards, found out. you got to live with it, afterwards. i've been living for 60 years with it! i know that! 0k, well then realise it! all dead and gone? it ain't you and me... oh, i ain't dying. another name, you might call it chuck berry. chuck,.

chuick berry who @ berry who has chuick berry who has died at the age of 90. a one—year—old boy has died and a girl, who's also one, is in a critical condition after police were called to reports of an incident in north london. officers went to the address in the finsbury park area late last night, where the two children were found with serious injuries. they were taken to hospital, where the boy later died. police say no arrests have been made, but enquiries are under way. flights to and from orly airport in paris have resumed after a man was shot dead by security forces after trying to seize a soldier's gun. according to officials, ziyed ben belgacem had said he was "ready to die for allah" and had tried to take the soldier's weapon before he was shot. french prosecutors say he had been radicalised while in prison for drugs offences six years ago. north korea's state media says its military has tested a new high—performance rocket engine.

the announcement came as the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, was meeting with his chinese counterpart. mr tillerson told china's president, xijinping, that president trump looks forward to "enhancing understanding" between china and the us, as our china editor, carrie gracie, reports. an upbeat meeting between the chinese president and america's top diplomat, to steady anxieties about where us—china relations are headed. but even as these actors smile for the cameras, they were upstaged by another. north korea announced the successful test of a high—thrust engine for long—range missiles. it's already warned that its nuclear missiles will soon be able to reach us soil. mr tillerson asked china to do more to persuade its ally to give up its arsenal. only hours before he arrived, his boss had tweeted a complaint that north korea behaved "badly", "playing" the us for years, with china doing little to help. but in beijing, mr tillerson was diplomatic.

we share a common view and a sense that tensions on the peninsula are quite high, right now. and that things have reached a rather dangerous level. and we've committed ourselves to prevent any type of conflict from breaking out. but the us secretary of state is not the only one sending a message in north—east asia. with today's rocket news, kimjong—un is sending his own message, one of defiance, notjust to the the united states, but also to north korea's frustrated ally, china. carrie gracie, bbc news, beijing. the liberal democrat leader, tim farron, is expected to accuse the prime minister of following what he describes as aggressive, nationalistic politics. like those of donald trump and vladimir putin. he's due to tell his pa rty‘s conference later

that they are the "real opposition" to theresa may's hard brexit plan. he'll also attempt to portray the lib dems as the party of patriotism, urging supporters not to be "squeamish" about declaring love for their country. the liberal democrats find ourselves now alone in that sensible ground of believing in a united, tolerant and open society. you talk about the number of mps we've got, there's a high ambition. i can't affect, and neither can you, the result of the last election of the next one. i either give u27and7accept7 and closed—spirited conservative government for the next 20—25 years, or i decide to roll my sleeves up and be the alternative, because it is increasingly clear it won't be labour. skin creams containing paraffin have been linked to dozens of fire deaths across england, the bbc has learneéfi bbc radio 5 live investigates has discovered there have been 37 deaths in england since 2010 linked to products for conditions

like eczema and psoriasis. if people use the creams regularly but do not often change clothes or bedding, paraffin residue can soak into the fabric, making it flammable. the medicines regulator has updated its guidance and says all creams containing paraffin itili iiiiéi i: ,::::% adrian, how did this first come to ught? adrian, how did this first come to light? maxine, we got hold of one or two cases where this appeared to be a problem. so we thought we would have a little nose around. we wrote to all 53 fire brigades in the uk. and asked them how many deaths, since 2010, had been linked to paraffin —based skin creams. as you say, used to treat conditions like psoriasis and eczema. only six of the fire brigade - back to us. the fire brigade came back to us. they gave us this figure. since

37 deaths related to paraffin 2010, 37 deaths related to paraffin —based skin creams. but when you bearin —based skin creams. but when you bear in mind i is only six fire bear in mind it is only six fire brigades out of 53, the real total, the true total of the number of deaths related to paraffin —based skin creams may sadly be much higher. the essence of this is that it is not going on fire on your skin, it is soaking into clothing and fabric which may subsequently be set on fire? absolutely. we'd been told that even when people wash their bedclothes and watch their pyjamas quite regularly, that doesn't necessarily eliminate all of the residue. it is an extremely hardy substance. if you're watching your clothes for example at 30 celsius, that doesn't necessarily redid the accumulation of paraffin. and some of the cases we have been hearing about have certainly been evidenced by the fact that it can soak in and accumulate over time.

even when people wash quite regularly. what is setting the fabrics ablaze? it is the paraffin it is the fact that it is base. it is the fact that it is there. people may unfortunately smoke, which they are not advised to do when they have these creams. we do when they have thésé’treams: i’ have been do whon tho'y havo thoso’orooms: t have been chatting to a lady called carol hope and her husband, philip hope, sadly passed away in 2006 after a cigarette he was smoking caught fire in a hospital in doncaster. when i got to the hospital i was met by - staff. they took me into a room. philip had caught fire. it sneaked off into a landing fora caught fire. it sneaked off into a landing for a sneaky cigarette. a gust of wind caught. light and it gust of wind caught the light and it set fire to him. at that time. he was l a&e with all the doctors was in a&e with all the doctors around him. they took me in to see him. very quick look. 90% burns.

there was nothing they could do. they wasjust going there was nothing they could do. they was just going ts; i there was nothing they could do. they was just going 2? turn off they was just going to turn off everything and just let him go. they was just going to turn off everything and just let him gom seems astonishing that this hasn't been known or highlighted until now. it has been. that case, we heard from 2006 and the immediate aftermath of that, the coroner raised concerns at the inquest into the death of philip hope. that was in 2007. subsequent to that, the national patient safety now—defunct national patient safety association issued a warning which has been reissued by the mha. there are current guidelines advising , the risk but it appears to be about the risk but it appears to be the case that those risks, those warning?” the case that those risks, those warnings are simply not being heeded. in some cases by clinical practitioners. in some cases by people using the creams themselves. there were two incidents in 2015, one in leicestershire, one in sussex, where coroners, following the fatal incidents linked to these

creams, had to issue warnings about their safe use. thank you. nhs services are facing a "mission impossible" to meet the standards required by the government — that's according to the organisation representing nhs trusts in england. who—mmtymine year is not enough to meet growing patient demand and will hit targets res; gigs"; “has it says the warning is unprecedented. our health editor hugh pym reports. the budget, earlier this month, included new funding for social care and investment in a&e units in england. nhs providers say that may ease of the pressure on hospitals, but there'll still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just to keep services ticking over. the organisation said it was unprecedented to warn, even before the financial year began, that it wouldn't be able to deliver the required standards of care. nhs providers says there will be big increases in the number of people in england falling outside key care benchmarks, with 1.8 million waiting more than four hours in a&e, and more than a 100,000 waiting more

than 18 weeks for routine surgery. this is the first time in recent nhs history that trusts are saying they cannot deliver the key accident and emergency and elective surgery targets and hit financial balance. and that's before the year has even started. that is the first time ever that's actually happened, and i think that is a very worrying sign. the department of health said the comments failed to acknowledge that the nhs had a strong plan to improve performance, and that staff were working hard to treat thousands more people each year within the a&e target. hugh pym, bbc news. one of my favourite things, we are going into sgtfi because i love the going into space because i love the international space station. what's going on at the moment, you can see... you can't see that much movement but let me explain ’f’ is t on. things i bid to slow out

going on. things i bid to slow out there. the can! dragon freight craft is being sent back home. space x rocket. i burst with the space rocket. it burst with the space station on february 23. thejoanna going home will be shorter most going home will be shorter m most of it going home will be shorter most of it will splash apparently most of it will splash down in the pacific ocean later on today. if it all goes according to plan it will be carrying almost 2500 of experiments and equipment. the burn and splashdown apparently the burn and splashdown will not be broadcast —— the de—oribtal burn and splashdown. they have been directing the robot to send the spacex dragon back to earth. that is the craft coming back to earth. it's amazing, the clarity on this pictures, isn't it?

the rules on mps taking otherjobs are to be discussed by a parliamentary committee on thursday. it's after the former chancellor, george osborne, was made the editor of the london evening standard. the mp for tatton in cheshire has already taken up business roles since leaving office — and has said he won't be standing down as an mp. victims of sexual assault won't have to go through the ordeal of giving evidence in court under changes being brought forward by the government. from september, a victim's cross—examination will be pre—recorded and played to the jury. with seniorjudges. the move follows a trial involving child victims who said it made them feel less pressured and better able to recall events. the headlines on bbc news: fellow musicians have paid tribute to chuck berry, the rock and roll star—who has'diedr a one—year—old boy dies and a girl of the same age injured in north london.

a bbc investigation finds a link between skin creams containing paraffin and dozens of fire deaths in england. to pay much higher car tax, from next month. the motoring organisation the rac says the new rules will mean people buying new low—emissions vehicles, which currently have no car tax, will pay at least £130 a year. the government says the changes to will be fair to motorists and good for the environment. our business correspondent joe lynam reports. looking for a new car, and thinking about doing your bit for the environment? well, that might become a bit more expensive from april. that's because the new vehicle excise duty rates come into force, and low—emission cars will be paying more than they do now. most cars bought from april 1st will pay a initial charge, depending on their emmissions, and then £140 after that every year. it means hybrid cars, which pay no tax up to now,

will have to pay £130 in road tax. and cars costing £40,000 or more will face an additional premium. but luckily, new duties will have no effect onrca rs alrea dy on lit/areas; it is confusing for customers, because there are so many different levels and tiers. because there are so many different it's a little bit of the old system where the co2 was the driving factor. but now we have brought in a cap at £110,000, where above that, there is an extra £310 added, but that is only for five years. hybrids get a concession of £10, which is ridiculous, particularly when we are in a time we want to push clean vehicles. the new rules for vehicle excise duties were designed to prevent tax revenues falling as more and more cars emit less and less co2. the unintended consequence could mean that motorists buy cars that pollute more. joe lynam, bbc news. we were telling you about a

one—year—old boy who had died and a goal of a similar age was in critical condition. after an incident in north london. are there any more details? we learned the incident happened in the house behind me. police are still inside and they are doing house—to—house egg 1:15? oi gegg foeéjojfieé we oh? if‘io oi gegg e‘o-:;ijoj‘o-:;i we talked to a few enquiries. we talked to a few neighbours that they talked to. one woman said they were looking for a man. another man said they were looking for two guys, but we don't know, this is unconfirmed. a neighbour told us that late last night, a woman came down the stairs and we believe that was the mother. and she was screaming. she was screaming for help and she was saying "my kids, my kids". one of the neighbours called the police. we 110w the neighbours called the police. we

now know that the two children were taken to an east london hospital. sadly, the boy died shortly before one o'clock. we know the little girl has - critical injuries. the has got critical injuries. the police have said a postmortem examination is still to be carried out and formal identification is still to be carried out. they have said no more about it at the moment. thank you. as the date for triggering brexit approaches, people up and down the country are asking what it will mean for the economy, jobs and the communities in which they live. so what happened when 50 people, 25 leave voters and 25 remainers, came face to face to talk about the issues? bbc radio 5 live's tony livesey hosted a special debate to find out. 50 people from all walks of life. we've brought them here together to discuss one thing. whether you like it or not, the economy's doing

great and you lot lost! they're frightened! we can cope without europe! do this lot look frightened, i'm sorry. all the brexiteers, fair enough, you've won, but i've yet to hear a constructive plan for brexit. can you give us a constructive plan? we'll ask them questions about their families, their jobs and their communities. i want you to step forward and talk to me, if you think that brexit will hurt or help my family. i have two sons and they're not able to getjobs whilst they're at university, because we've been told that they have to employ people from other countries first, before people from our country. so i feel that leaving will give us the opportunity... bqqihe ..to get back to being british, give the british people back theirjobs. one of my husband's grandchildren is a student. and i think it will limit this opportunities regarding going to study abroad, going on a placement abroad or having the

opportunity to work abroad. step forward, if you think brexit will make britain a more tolerant country. all laugh. i think we are a country that has been borne out of diversity. i don't think that will change, i don't think the vote was about racism, i think it was about taking control of our borders. a few weeks ago, while it's been happening with the whole brexit thing, there was a 10—year—old boy and another teenage boy, a muslim woman walked past and they were, like, "oh, you dirty muslim." lexie was talking about racist abuse. what's your point? firstly, that's got nothing to do with brexit. racism exists, regardless. ffiév féfi ifiééifii lie éfid ho féeiif—r —— —— those people and people do something about it? hago “gfgii ooofl, ', ,, i haven't. the woodwork and wouldn't have said anything before are now saying things

and that is really really bad. step forward, if you've changed your mind since referendum day. out of 50 people, we have one. i was a reluctant remainer, but i now fully support the brexit vote. but not held to ransom and people need to get behind the country and the government to here we have someone who has changed their mind since we last asked people if people had changed their minds! we need to work together to get the best brexit that we can. it's not what i wanted, it's what the majority wanted and therefore... i'm not going to stand here and try and stop people from what the majority voted. give yourself a round of applause. you've been brilliant. thank you. you can hear that debate in full on bbc radio 5 live tonight from 10pm. of wight closed last year,
