also in the next hour, we'll have a full review of the sunday papers. joining me tonight are anne ashworth, associate editor at the times, and the playwright and writer at the new european, bonnie greer. and the four british friends break a world record and become the fastest ever to cross the atlantic ocean in a rowing boat. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the leader of the liberal democrats, sir vince cable, has warned the government not to agree to bailout the construction company carillion with tax payers money. there are fears the firm, which has debts of £1.5 billion, could collapse after creditors rejected a possible rescue plan.

carillion employs about 20,000 people in the uk and is one of the government's main contractors. our business correspondent joe lynam reports this is liverpool's newest hospital under construction. it will be the biggest single bed hospital in the uk, and it's being built by carillion. now there's concern that projects like these could be affected if the company collapses. from prisons to hospitals, to schools and rail, carillion is responsible for some of the uk's largest infrastructure and maintenance projects. so, should the government bail the debt—laden company out? i think what has to happen in this case — the contracts have to be kept going and supporting the supply chain and the tens of thousands of workers. that can be done by the government taking lots of this in—house, or re—tendering in other cases. the government can'tjust do a financial bailout. the shareholders and creditors — the big banks — have to take a hit. they can't just off—load all the losses to the taxpayer. carillion is a major british

company with hundreds of contracts running prisons, maintaining hospitals and mod facilities, with almost 20,000 employees here and tens of thousands more dependent on the company. but it has run up debts of £1.5 billion, including almost £1 billion to its banks, whose patience has run out. britain's biggest ever rail infrastructure project, high speed 2, starts major construction this year. and here at euston station. carillion is meant to build it. but given its mountain of debts there is a very real chance that the government might have to step in and give those contracts to other companies, or simply bail the company out — with all the moral hazards that comes with. the rmt union has called on the government to provide reassurances to thousands of workers who could be affected. also caught in the crossfire, are hundreds of smaller companies who carry out subcontracted work on behalf of carillion. potentially, it

could be devastating. because many of them are owed millions by carillion. and if they don't get those monies, of course they are at risk as a business. the other thing is there will be thousands ofjobs, potentially, lost as a result. if carillion cannot be saved or restructured, the consultants ey have been put on notice to take over as administrators. it's a precautionary measure which the government and thousands of staff hope won't be needed. joe lynam, bbc news. earlierjoe explained to me the extent of carillion‘s financial problems. i think their appetite for contracts was bigger than their belly, to put it bluntly. basically, to apply for these giant contracts, uk wide, to run prisons and school and mod facilities and build hs2, you need to have scale. so they built up scale by being a genuine construction company and engineering giant. so smaller companies are kind of precluded from applying for those gigs. what happened is they bid for these

massive contracts, won them, promising that they would do a certain amount of work within a certain amount of time to the government. but the income flow has been much less than they told their banks, so they borrowed money from their banks to apply for these contracts and franchises, and the income flow back through has not really been what they had expected and that is what got them into a situation where they now owe their banks £900 million. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are anne ashworth, associate editor at the times, and the playwright and writer at the new european, bonnie greer. an investigation is underway in hawaii, after an alert was mistakenly sent to residents‘ phones, warning them of an imminent ballistic missile attack. the text message urged people to take shelter due — and added "this is not a drill". it was 30 minutes later revealed to be a false alarm. richard galpin reports.

it's just after eight o'clock in the morning local time and suddenly the broadcast of this basketball match is interrupted. the us pacific command has detected a missile threat to hawaii. a missile may impact land or sea within minutes. this is not a drill. if you are indoors, stay indoors. if you are outdoors, seek immediate shelter in a building. the chilling alert of what was apparently an imminent missile srtike on hawaii was also sent out to everyone‘s mobile phones. when we got the alarm we were actually terrified. we were on the 36th floor of our hotel and we didn't know what to do. i was just sleeping, my friend just woke me up and said let's go, there's a bomb coming in hawaii. i did not think he was serious but i started running, we went to this other place, a concrete building. people were just running on the street. but it turns out

it was all a mistake. the us pacific command confirming in a tweet there was no missile threat. this should not have happened. we are investigating the sequence in events that occurred. an error was made in emergency management, which allowed this false alarm to be sent. just last month, the hawaiian authorities decided to resume testing of the nuclear warning system for the first time since the cold war. these islands are the closest part of the united states to north korea. and over the past year, north korea has carried out a series of tests, proving it does now have nuclear weapons. so no wonder people in hawaii were panicking today. dentists have accused the government of not doing enough to tackle

tooth decay in england. new figures indicate there were nearly 43,000 operations to remove children's teeth last year — a 17% increase on four years ago. the british dental association says england now provides a second—class service compared to scotland and wales. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has the story. tooth decay in children is distressing, painful and avoidable. dentists say sugary snacks and drinks are the biggest cause. british children drink more soft drinks than anywhere else in europe. and the number of multiple extractions, which have to take place in hospital under general anaesthetic, is continuing to grow. figures compiled by the local government association showed there were nearly 43,000 multiple tooth extractions among under 18s in england last year. that's around 170 every day of the working week. 0verall, there's been an increase of 17% injust four years. dentists say children in england

are suffering and are being offered a second—rate service when compared to scotland and wales. the department of health in england says the introduction of a tax on sugary drinks was part of its plan to reduce the number of extractions. we very much welcome the sugar tax, but we need the government to focus on other areas, for example like price promotions, all those discounts, and the level of marketing on unhealthy products. all those colours and animations are always enticing children to prefer those products, making the job of eating healthy products and healthier diet much more difficult for parents. with proper oral hygiene, good brushing and avoiding high sugar snacks and drinks, thousands of children could be saved from experiencing the pain of a rotten tooth. dominic hughes, bbc news. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news this evening. a 25 year—old model has died after being stabbed in a street in west london. harry uzoka had recently done a photo shoot with gq magazine.

friends and family have described him as an ‘inspiration to young black men'. two men, aged 27 and 28, have been arrested on suspicion of murder. a murder investigation has begun after a woman was injured in a tui travel agents in southport. police were called to the store on chapel street, where the 28—year—old worked, just before 1.30 this afternoon. she died in hospital. a 30—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. the chief constable of west midlands police says he's going to write to the courts every time one of his officers is attacked, and demand tougher sentences. dave thompson has revealed nearly 700 officers and staff were assaulted in a nine month period last year — a new record. iran has said the us has crossed a "red line" by imposing sanctions on the head of itsjudiciary and vowed to retaliate. ayatollah sadeq amoli—larijani is among 14 individuals and bodies targeted.

iran also rejected any changes to its nuclear deal with world powers. president trump has warned that he'll re—impose sanctions on iran in less than four months — a move that would undermine the agreement under which tehran curbed its nuclear programme. trita parsi is the president of the national iranian american council, and author of the book, losing an enemy — 0bama, iran and the triumph of diplomacy. i asked him what the likelihood was of mr trump achieving his stated aim of renegotiating the nuclear deal. there is essentially zero chance that that happening, for the very simple reason that donald trump doesn't carry any credibility here. if he was perceived as someone who actually felt there was a way of making this deal better, perhaps there could have been a chance but he is correctly perceived as someone who is just looking for various ways of destroying and killing this deal, whether that is by not renewing the waivers or by claiming that he wants to renegotiate the deal, but if you actually take a look at what he's demanding,

these are non—starter demands that he has. so it's a more clever way for him to try to kill the deal and that's precisely why you are seeing such resistance from europe and others. they don't want to enter into a game with donald trump, whose aim is to destroy this deal. iran says it will retaliate if he imposes sanctions, what could they do? i think the iranian rhetoric is likely to be a little bit different from what they actually will do. i think there's going to be a need from their sense to speak very tough right now, in regards to some of these individual sanctions that trump has imposed, but those are not violations of the deal. what i think their rhetoric is more aimed at is to put pressure on europe, so europe doesn't cave into trump's demands by essentially signalling that if this continues and donald trump continues to undermine the deal, there's going to be a point in which the iranians themselves will also start withdrawing from the deal and then there is no deal left. since this has been such a critical contribution to notjust reginoal stability but for europe's security,

i think what the iranians are hoping to do is to ensure the europeans don't cave into trump. as you say there, if the iranians withdrawal, no deal left, what are the dangers of that scenario? the danger is actually quite simple. before this deal was reached, there was a significant risk that the united states and iran would go to war with each other and also a risk that the iranians might actually move towards militarisation of their nuclear programme. those two risks were essentially eliminated as a result of this deal. if donald trump kills this deal, those will go back onto the table and we will once again constantly hear the drumbeats of a war between the us and iran. what is the role of europe in all of this? presumably they will try to have a role in bringing the two sides together again? well, i think their primary role right now is to make sure donald trump doesn't walk out of a deal, that all of them

together negotiate it, that is working perfectly fine. the iea has now issued nine reports explaining that the iranians have lived up to their end of the bargain, so the question is why isn't donald trump living up to his end of the bargain? that is the primary problem. in south africa, the new leader of the ruling anc party has given his first speech since being elected last month. cyril ramaphosa gave a damning assessment of the party, saying it's been beset by infighting and corruption. 0ur africa editor, fergal keane, was at the rally. if you want to know how the wind has changed in south africa, then listen to this. jacob zuma... booing booed by his own party, jacob zuma is increasingly isolated. even supporters acknowledge his days as the country's

president are numbered. the crowds have a different hero now, the new anc leader cyril ramaphosa. businessman, skilled negotiator, who's promised to end the capture of the state by a corrupt elite. we are going to confront corruption and state capture in all its forms. the investigation and prosecution of those who are responsible will be given top priority. we are resolute in our commitment to make this the year in which we build our movement and turnaround the economy of south africa. not since the end of apartheid in 1994 have i seen such a hunger for change in south africa. we've heard a lot of promises from politicians, do you believe him? yeah, we have to believe him, he's our president, our new president. hopefully they can fix, everything is broken. that's a big big hope.

yeah, it's my hope, and the hope of all south africans. hope springs in part from desperation. the corruption of the zuma era dragged the economy intojunk status. not far from the stadium, this woman washes cars to earn cash. she's ten years out of school and unemployed. we have voted for anc but we don't see any changes. we want, cyril ramaphosa, we wantjobs. if cyril ramaphosa can root out corruption and rescue this country's economy, he will be seen as a worthy inheritor of nelson mandela's legacy. but more than that, given the importance of south africa on this continent, he could emerge as one of the most important political figures in the history of post—colonial africa. that is the prize. the challenges are immense. fergal keane, bbc news, east london. the headlines on bbc news:

officials from across government didn't talk this weekend to discuss the future of the troubled construction firm carillion. an investigation is underway in hawaii after an alert was mistakenly sent to residents phones, warning them of an imminent ballistic missile attack. dentists have accused the government of not doing enough to tackle tooth decay in england. new figures indicate there were nearly 43,000 operations to remove children's teeth last year, a 17% increase on four years ago. sport now, and time for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. thank you. starting with football. harry kane's incredible season for tottenham continues. he scored twice in a comfortable home victory over everton to become spurs record premier league goalscorer. tottenham, who are now unbeaten in six matches, remain fifth in the premier league,

but are level on points with liverpool and 18 points behind leaders manchester city. both those teams play each other tomorrow. before the game we feel that the three points were massive for us to take, and now we've taken them and it is so important, because for fourth it so tough this season. today for us it was so important, a massive three points today. had the basics, really good defensively. why we went on such a good run of wins and being undefeated... those defending basics have gone out the window now. it's a question of becoming a little bit more boring than we were today, i think. i'm sure you'll see is at the back end of match of the day instead of the front end. there were six other matches

in the premier league today. it was goalless betwween the champions of the past two seasons, chelsea and leicester. crystal palace are up to 12th with a 1—0 win over burnley. the david moyes revival of west ham continues — they're11th after a 4—1 win at huddersfield. bottom side swansea earned a point, as they drew 1—1 at newcastle. watford and southampton shared four goals, while west brom beat brighton 2—0. with the world cup in russia just a few months away, one of the country's biggest football teams has been accused of racism following a tweet sent out, while a player had taken over the club's offical twitter account. the message from spartak moscow earlier today showed a video, of some black players training in sunny conditions, with a message translating as "see how the chocolates melt in the sun." several anti—discrimatory bodies have highglighted their concerns. the chief executive of the campaign group football against racism in europe says... he went on to say that spartak

were sanctioned for islamophobic chanting recently, but clearly the message has not reached the players or the club management." spartak‘s tweet stayed up for a few hours before being taken down. a later video uploaded on the club's twitter account saw midfielder fernando make the following rather short announcement. translation: at spartak there is no racism, we are a friendly family. james haskell‘s six nations comeback has been thrown into doubt after he was sent off in the final minutes of wasps‘ 33—28 defeat at harlequins. his shoulder tackle onjamie roberts means his place in the england squad is a doubt. the 32—year—old had behaskell will appear before a european rugby disciplinary panel this week, with just three weeks to go until the six nations gets underway.

lisa ashton has won her fourth bdo world title after beating anastasia dobromyslova 3—1 at lakeside. ashton was considered the underdog before the final but the defending champion won eight straight legs in a row, finishing with a 62 checkout to seal victory. ashton is now second on the list of titles won, behind the 10—time champion trina gulliver. on the men‘s side of things, the final will be played between defending champion glen durrant and mark mcgeeney. mcgeeney came through tonight‘s semi—final against germany‘s michael unter—bukner, 6 sets to 4. the englishman, who is the bdo world number one, came back from 3—2 down, to set up a chance to win his first world title. best of luck to the both of them. that‘s all the sport for now. i‘ll have more for you in the next hour. thanks, jessica. consumers can no longer be charged extra simply because they‘re paying

for something using a credit or debit card. but the ban — which came into force today — has been criticised by some retailers who say they‘ll have to raise overall prices in response. adina campbell reports. they are the small fees added at the very end of the buying process. in percentage terms it may not be that much, but these card surcharges add up. not any more. under new eu rules, retailers on or offline can no longer charge customers for paying with a credit or debit card. the treasury says these surcharges cost consumers £166 million every year. but some companies, such as concert venues, can still charge a booking or service fee. no longer will they be penalised just for paying by credit or debit card. now with the end of surcharges, you are comparing like for like. the price you see is the price you pay. you don‘t get a nasty sting at the end. but some shoppers are not convinced. they can do it very sneakily, can‘t they, and just hide that 2% or whatever it‘s going to be

in the cost of what you‘re going to purchase. i don't see why we should have to pay that for actually using a means of payment that's kind of, you know, universally acknowledged. at the end of the day, they'll end up passing it onto the consumer, so it doesn't make that much difference, to be quite honest. traders could feel the effects, too, because card companies will still charge for their services, but can no longer pass that fee onto customers. vin vara runs a group of small businesses and is also president of the british independent retailers‘ association. nearly 63% of our sales are by credit card and debit card, so it will affect us in the long—term if rates and increased rates do go up. for retailers like this hardware store, today‘s ban throws up several options. they may decide to suck up the cost of processing a debit or credit card. alternatively, they could simply put up their prices or they may decide to re—brand these fees as a service charge. one business that‘s already been criticised is the delivery company just eat, which has said it

will impose a new service charge for card payments. there are now calls for the new changes to be closely monitored to ensure consumers are not punished for paying by plastic. adina campbell, bbc news. four british friends have broken the world record and become the fastest ever to cross the atlantic ocean in a rowing boat. the amateur crew, dubbed the four oarsmen, made history when they reached the island of antigua just after 1:30am this morning, having spent 29 days at sea and beating the previous record by six days. dan johnson has more. and here they go! shouting the end of an epicjourney rowed in record time, four men who had not even been in a rowing boat 18 months ago, now not only challenge winners but the first to cross

the atlantic in less than 30 days. it feels overwhelming. the challenge, as we said before, is just relentless, never ending pain, just rowing, the whole thing, and coming first is something that is beyond our wildest dreams. they left the canary islands 3,000 miles away and faced 40—foot waves, scorching sun and howling winds, not quite the apocalypse but a test of endurance for the four oarsmen. surviving on rations, producing their own water, taking it in turns to eat, to sleep, and to row. it‘s amazing to complete the row. we set out as a charitable initiative, for two charities, mind, and spinal research. the mind research is commemorative of my mum and her struggle with her mental health. to do it in such justice and in such style and with such great support and great success is amazing. just making it to the caribbean is a

fantastic achievement but they have raised more than a quarter of a million and have rowed their way into the record books. dan johnson, bbc news. france‘s president has called for the baguette to be listed as one of the world‘s cultural treasures. emmanuel macron says a unesco listing is needed because the french daily staple is envied around the world, and its excellence should be preserved. it comes after the un‘s cultural agency awarded a similar status to italy‘s naples pizza. now it is time for an update on the weather with phil avery. hello, i‘d expect your impression of the weather today depends on where you were, in the north—west where it was gloomy or if you had the good

fortune to be a bit further to the north and east, you can‘t get much further than that but at least you got the sunshine. elsewhere, cloudy but at least it was dry, relative to those who had to endure bad weather front, which didn‘t go very far very fast and won‘t go very far very fast through the rest of the night. what will happen if the rain will tend to lose its intensity. there have been some quite heavy bursts of rain along the length of this, particularly towards the southern end. overnight, and optically cold but if the cloud breaks you might end up with a touch of frost. it will not be a widespread problem. sunday morning, less in the way of rain in western areas. the cumbrian fells possibly still with some. a lot of cloud, the best of the breaks towards the west. temperatures down a fraction on where we have seen over the past few days. then later on in the afternoon, we will find that next belt of weather moving in from the atlantic, accompanied by some very strong

from the atlantic, accompanied by some very strong winds, dust and 60-70 some very strong winds, dust and 60—70 miles an hour, and through the night, the frontal system dragging the wet and windy weather down towards the south—eastern quarter. what it will introduces a much, much colder regime across all parts of the british isles as we get into the start of next week. so for a time, yes, wet and windy weather lurking within ten in the east midlands and but one sickly as we are in something much colder. the temperature may not just something much colder. the temperature may notjust indicate that first up across southern counties. you will feel it further north, but add in the strength of the wind, which is not a feature we have seen much of in the past week, and it will feel much colder than of late. there will be plenty of wintry showers across many northern and western parts of the british isles, even as far ahead as wednesday. look at the isobars. wednesday night, look at that, low—pressure tracking across the southern counties of england and wales. we think at the moment, there is some speculation

about this, but on its northern flank there could be a period of snow because the week will be colder and windy certainly and there will be some snow in the forecast. hello, this is bbc news. we‘ll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. talks are being held over the future of troubled engineering giant, carillion, which battling against debt and a pensions shortfall. the firm, which is trying to reach an agreement with creditors, is a key government contractor for projects including hs2. hawaii‘s governor apologises after an emergency alert was sent out warning people of an incoming ballistic missile threat. people were urged to seek shelter and told it was not a drill. president trump has been briefed. dentists are warning of a tooth decay crisis among children in england.
