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. our correspondent, jane—frances kelly, is in finsbury park in north london. what more information do we know? the incident happened at the building here this building is a p pa re ntly building here this building is apparently owned by a local hotel. staff live there. we've talked to some neighbours who say they knew the couple. they said they were an ordinary couple, seemed very happy and that this is a totally shocking

and that this is a totally shocking and unexpected. what we know from neighbours is that late last night, a woman, the mother, came downstairs and was for a woman, the mother, came downstairs and was - for help. she was and was asking for help. she was screaming, she was distressed and she was saying, "my - my kids". she was gaging, "mg kids, h‘jkirs" fa — ~ allegedly she she was saying, "mg kids, mikes" fa — ~ allegedly she said, "my boy is dead, my boy is dead". the neighbours then called for help and the police arrived. we know that the children we re arrived. we know that the children were taken to a hospital in east london. the boy, as we know, sadly died. the girl is critically injured. she is receiving treatment. the police have been doing house—to—house enquiries. those that we've spoken to say they were looking for a suspect. they searched their rooms very quickly. they left. we know from the national police air service that they tweeted last night that way... scrambled a helicopter

to look for a suspect in this area —— that they scrambled. the police say a postmortem examination will be taking place and that formal identification has not taken place yet. they have released no more information than that. thank you very much, for the moment. 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. 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 high—performance rocket engine. the country's state news agency said leader kim jong—un declared the test "a new birth" for the north's rocket industry and that the engine would help north korea achieve world—class satellite launch capability. rex tillerson, was meeting with his chinese counterpart.

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. 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 but also to north korea's frustrated ally, china. carrie gracie. bbc news. be'ginge; skin creams containing paraffin have been linked to dozens of fire deaths across england, the bbc has learned. 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 sfisklfitfi fhéfahfif., a , , making it flammable. the medicines regulator has updated its guidance and says all creams containing paraffin should carry a warning. we actually wrote to all 50 fibre grades 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 brigades actually came back to us. they gave us this figure. since 2010, 37 deaths related to paraffin—based skin creams. but when you 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, much higher. the, sort of, essence of this is that it's not

going on fire on your skin, it's 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 wash their pyjamas quite regularly, that doesn't necessarily eliminate all of the residue. it's an extremely hardy substance. so, if you're watching your clothes for example at 30 celsius, so, if you're washing your clothes for example at 30 celsius, that doesn't necessarily rid it of the accumulation of paraffin. evidenced by the fact that it can soak in and accumulate over time. even when people wash quite regularly. what is actually setting the fabrics ablaze? well, it is the paraffin 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 have been chatting to a lady called carol hope. her husband, philip hope, sadly passed away in 2006, after a cigarette he was smoking caught fire in a hospital when i got to the hospital, i was met by senior staff. took me into a room. philip had caught fire. he'd sneaked off onto a landing, for a sneaky cigarette. at that time, he was in a&e with all the doctors round him. they took me in to see him. very quick look. 90% burns. there was nothing they could do. they was just going to turn off everything and just let him go. it seems astonishing that this hasn't been known before now, or at least highlighted, until now. well, it has been.

that case, we heard from 2006 and in the immediate aftermath of that, the coroner raised concerns at the inquest into the death of philip hope. the inquest was in 2007. subsequent to that, the now—defunct national patient safety agency issued a warning, those warnings have since been reiterated by the medicines regulator, the mhra. there are current guidelines also advising of the risks, but it appears to be the case that those risks, those warnings, are simply not being heeded. in some cases by clinical practitioners. people there were two incidents in 2015, one in leicestershire, one in sussex, where, again, coroners, following the fatal incidents linked to these creams, had to issue warnings about their safe use. and you can find out more about this story by listening to 5 live investigates, which is on bbc radio 5 live at 11am this morning. 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. the new scheme is being rolled out early after an agreement with seniorjudges. the move follows a trial involving child victims who said it made them feel less pressured and better able to recall events. 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. nhs providers say the funding allocated for the next financial year is not enough to meet growing patient demand and will hit targets like a&e waiting times. 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.

they're arrived here as champions, now england aimed to be record—brea kers. this team chasing history, rather than a trophy. ireland, however, had other ideas. the mood in dublin one of defiance. at the end of a disappointing campaign, the hosts had a point to prove, especially here, in a city still celebrating st patrick's day. in a game of shuddering intensity, the tone was set early on. english hopes of grand slams have been dashed here before, and sustained irish pressure ended with ian henderson stretching over. england 10—3 down at half—time, and lucky not to be further behind. all of england's points came from the boot of owen farrell. the deficit was cut to just four soon after the restart. but it was the irish who continued to pose the greater that. jared payne broke through, and thenjohnny sexton capped an amazing performance fifth éhis sziusiai iii-el: england, as so often in this campaign, turned

to their bench for inspiration. but this time, it was lacking — the visitors were never really threatening. last year, ireland ended new zealand's 18—match winning streak, now they were denied another bid greatness. chastened, england were, at least, champions, but they must now reflect on a first defeat in the eddiejones era. this was like a world cup final. we got beaten 13—9. so you come away with the silver medal. it makes you want to get the gold medal. it was more about courage than class. there wasn't too much that we were able to put together, especially when the weather closed in a bit, but i thought in the first 20 minutes, that is where we built confidence in the game. a night of mixed emotions, then for england, this will hurt, but could be the making of them. dan roan, bbc news, dublin. wales head coach rob howley questioned the integrity of france's victory in an extraordinary encounter that saw an incredible 20 minutes of stoppage time.

trailing by five points, i and the subsequent conversion clinched the win. however, howley insists the french were wrongly able to bring back for a "head injury assessment", as wales finished fifth in the table. scotland won a third six nations match in the same campaign, for the first time in over a decade to send departing coach vern cotter out "on a high". they beat italy 29—0 at chelsea have a 13—point lead at the top of the premier league with just ten games to go in the season. gary cahill‘s late winner secured a 2—1win at stoke for antonio conte's side. willian's free kick had given chelsea the lead with jonathan walters scoring for the home side. some important games to come in the premier league today. steve agnew takes charge of relegation—threatened middlesbrough for the first time.

they face manchester united at midday. second—placed spurs can close the gap on chelsea to ten points with a win over southampton, before a huge clash between third placed manchester city and liverpool in fourth at the etihad stadium. britain's greatest ever female paralympian dame sarah storey, says she wants to close the gender gap in cycling. the 1a time paralympic gold medallist has launched team storey, a new elite women's team, alongside her husband barney, and is aiming is to get the riders competing at the highest level. british cycling and do some amazing work at the grassroots for participation. over the last number of years since i've been in the sport, cycling women's cycling has grown and grown and it continues to grow. that is where we are with storey racing. we want to be part of that continued growth. we want to see women have equal opportunities to the guys, closing the gender gap. if you want to put our team into the men's cycling, we would be paid

small wages. we are trying to make sure that we bring the women's side of the sport back up to the level of the men's and push forward with that integrity intact. that's all the sport for now. i will be back with more l the next hour. 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. new car buyers are being warned they'll be forced 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 on cars already on uk roads. it is confusing for customers, because there are so many different levels and tiers. it's a little bit of the old system where the co2 was the driving factor. 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. when the night shelter for homeless people on the isle of wight closed last year, one man, who had experience of living on the streets, decided to do something about it. charity worker kevin newton raised thousands of pounds to convert a double decker bus into a shelter and his idea has proved so successful, it's now being adopted in other parts of the uk. jon cuthill has been to find out more. kevin newton's a man with a plan. after raising £15,000 he's converted a double—decker bus into a homeless shelter. as well as somewhere dry and safe to sleep, it provides a permanent address, giving those on—board access to health care, benefits and other support. as you can see, we've got 1a bunks...

we find when people come the first night, if they're not completely exhausted, they won't sleep very well anyhow, just for a couple of hours because that's what their body tells them to do. when you don't have a good night's sleep your mental health isn't good, you can't function and think properly so we see a massive difference. they're wanting to do more productive things. until three years ago, jonathan was a successful agricultural scientist. losing thatjob lead to depression, alcoholism and ultimately divorce and at christmas, he found himself homeless. you never know what's round the corner in life. i had a beautiful five—bedroom home in cowes overlooking the solent. i had my own boat, beautiful wife, it's all gone. depression turned into alcoholism and eventually the money and the health ran out, as it does with alcohol. had to find somewhere pretty quick to live and the council suggested

kevin. the people here come from all different backgrounds. until the bus came along, lisa had spent months sleeping in a field. i did have a situation where a homeless guy that did literally pick on vulnerable women out there, that he knew was homeless for his own gain. he would know when they got paid, he would make himself indispensable to them by saying we need the company, because he was a big fella, quite intimidating. so it's them kind of threats and that worried. belg, hare—isfl a because you have the option of choosing this life or a better life for yourself. it's not easy, but it is a step forward in the right direction definitely. gary used to be on the bus, he's moved out, he now has this flat. i think before you had nothing, you just had a tent? yeah, nothing. when they're ready, kevin gets those on—board

into their own rented accommodation. he has now re—homed 11 people in just four months and the idea is catching on. this bus should be ready in eight weeks and will be based in dorset. i think everything kevin had done has been inspiring and to see people's lives being changed and somebody doing something that was actually breaking the cycle of homelessness. every day, we walk past people in the streets and we might give them a coffee or give them some change but we don't really know how we can make a difference to their lives. i don't think anybody without having their basic needs net attempt to move with their life until they feel those things and those needs are met for them. four more buses are also being set up across england thanks to kevin's success on the isle of wight. we have ended the need for anyone to sleep rough on the isle of wight and that would be my dream, to end the need for anyone to sleep rough in the uk.

it certainly gets people off the streets, it makes them safe, it gives them a chance to get their life back together. jon cuthill, bbc news. there is concern amongst mps today that they may not be allowed second jobs in the future after the former chancellor george osborne accepted a job as editor of the evening standard whilst still remaining an mp. with more on this our political correspondent mark lobeljoins me. what are the rules of the moment?m is supposed to reflect what the public want. they are not so keen 110w public want. they are not so keen now for mps to have a second job. they want mps to be as dedicated as they can be. they don't want people who have just been politicians all their life. the committee of standards in public life, the group that oversees this in parliament have to ensure that mps have enough time to do theirjob, they came up with a rule. all the parties agreed

to it before the last election. around 2010. when you stand for office, you would tell your constituents what they are planning and if they want to vote for you, you can take that second job. if, while an you are an mp and there is no election, you are offered a new job. the george osborne case has triggered a lot of concern among other mps. how could he possibly have the time to get the job? some are the chair of the are asking. the chair of the committee has told the bbc, we now need to renew a debate about whether mps have second jobs. it would be a major change for some mps that they will have their first meeting about that on thursday. it would affect allmps, that on thursday. it would affect all mps, wouldn't it? exactly. what are they saying about george osborne perhaps? on the andrew marr show this morning, couple of high—profile political figures who have to handle a lot themselves were asked. let's hear what ruth davidson, the leader of the scottish conservatives said. i thought he was a better man than

me. i spent ten years as a journalist. i could not combine them both. i work pretty busy week as it bumm- this week in particular. i am is. this week in particular. i am sure you can do both at the same not sure you can do both at the same if i'm honest. some could scepticism from her. tony blair was also asked about it by andrew marr and here is what he said. i don't know whether having those jobsis i don't know whether having those jobs is doable or not but it's a thing for the evening great thing for the evening standard, why not? he is a highly capable guy. it should make politics more interesting. two points. both sceptical that he would find the time and the second is that tony is also a fan of the remain blair is also a fan of the remain side of the eu referendum, like sadiq khan, welcoming him perhaps for political reasons. we are days away from triggering article 50. tony blair talking this morning. did weighed into the brexit debate at he weighed into the brexit debate at all? very much
