good afternoon. the new conservative party chairman brandon lewis has told the bbc the government is doing everything it can to ensure the serial sex offenderjohn worboys stays in jail. the former black cab driver was jailed in 2009 for drugging and sexually assaulting 12 women, but police believe he may have committed more than 100 attacks. the government is considering a judicial review into the parole board's decision to release him. here's our home affairs correspondent danny shaw. he is known as the black cab rapist, john worboys is believed to have drugged and sexually assaulted more than 100 women. yet, the parole board has decided that after ten yea rs board has decided that after ten years in custody it is safer him to be released and he is due out by the end of the month. the government wa nts to end of the month. the government wants to stop that happening and is looking at the possibility of legal action. anybody out there will appreciate just how awful this must be for victims to see what is

happening, to think about somebody like that being out on the streets, i think it is absolutely right that the secretary of state forjustice will do everything he can to make sure this man stays behind bars. the justice secretary has been in the post less than a week. he is asked lawyers if it is plausible to contest the decision in the courts and if there is a good chance of success. and if there is a good chance of success. 0pposition mps welcomed the move. i think the public are com pletely move. i think the public are completely bewildered that worboys is being released as early as two yea rs. is being released as early as two years. he is a serious criminal and a threat to women. —— as he is. i don't only major retreat of women are convinced that he does not continue to be a threat to us. but it will be highly unusual for the government to launch a legal challenge against a decision from an organisation they are responsible for. and if they do bring proceedings against the parole board there is no guarantee of success. we do know the barforjudicial review claims is set very high. you cannot

simply takea claims is set very high. you cannot simply take a case to court simply because you don't like the outcome, it has to be unlawful for that one reason or another. we will wait and see. in the meantime, victims of john worboys are being consulted on what conditions he will have to comply with when he is left out. some are concerned that the serial sex offender will try to track them down. danny shaw is here. where does this case go from here? i think events will move quickly because the clock is ticking. it will be two weeks really before worboys is due to be let out. if the government wants to stop that happening it will have to get its advice quickly from the lawyers it is consulting and make a decision about whether to bring a legal challenge. i think they will make a decision in the next few days. in the meantime, lawyers for the victims concerns have also been considering judicial review proceedings. there are two possible tracks, one could come from the

government, one could come from the lawyers for the victims. it is not as simple as bringing a legal challenge and the court to accept it. it is not enough to say that we simply don't like this decision. basically, the court would have to decide, in order to stop this happening, that the release was com pletely happening, that the release was completely and rational or there was something wrong by which the decision was arrived at. it is a high baras decision was arrived at. it is a high bar as lawyers have said, there is no guarantee it will succeed. but in the meantime there is a possibility that court might decide to stop worboys being released while they make a decision on whether to allow thejudicial they make a decision on whether to allow the judicial review. thank you. there are talks today aimed at saving the construction company, carillion. the firm, which is a key government contractor, has huge debts and a big pension deficit. the government says ministers are "keeping a very close eye" on the situation. our business correspondentjoe lynam joins me from the cabinet office in central london. joe, what's the latest on the talks?

i think the cabinet office with all its scaffolding is the perfect metaphorfor the its scaffolding is the perfect metaphor for the health of their finances. people have been coming in and out of the building all morning. we saw the permanent secretary going in. we're outside the cabinet office because carillion have so much work and contracts throughout all arms of government it all needs to be coordinated by the cabinet office. andrea hewitt says they need to make sure that everything will work fine. —— and we are here. schools need to be maintained, as do prisons and hospitals. they are working on a contingency plan in the eventuality that there are issues that cannot be resolved. separately, i understand that there may be meetings between the company on the banks today to

find a solution. if they cannot find one, then the company could file for administration as early as tomorrow morning. thank you. ukip has suspended the girlfriend of its party leader henry bolton, after she apparently made racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee meghan markle. the mail on sunday has published text messages sent byjo marney that include derogatory comments about ms markle and people from ethnic minorities. she has apologised but said the messages had been taken out of context. police in east yorkshire say a man who died after an attack at his home near driffield may have been shot with a crossbow. officers say they want to speak to 55—year—old anthony lawrence in connection with the incident. shane gilmer was attacked on friday night at his home in the village of southburn. a woman was also injured. more than 150 passengers and crew had a lucky escape when their plane skidded off a runway in turkey and plunged down a steep slope. the nose of the boeing 737 came to restjust a few

metres from the black sea. andy moore reports. the accident happened in the darkness last night. it was only in the day like this morning that it was apparent how close to disaster the plane had come. the flight from ankara skidded off the runway in wet conditions and down a steep slope with its nose coming to restjust metres from the sea. 0ne with its nose coming to restjust metres from the sea. one of the engines detached from the wing and ended up in the water. these pictures from on board the plane shady understandable panic and confusion. passengers have to clamberup in incline confusion. passengers have to clamber up in incline to the rear of the plane to get out. 162 passengers and six crew were on board. some people were taken to hospital as a

precaution but nobody was injured. the airport was closed for a while last night, but has reopened this morning. theories about the cause of the incident include a bird strike 01’ the incident include a bird strike or ice on the runway. but the governor says it is still under investigation. this was a lucky escape passengers on this plane, last year with the safest ever full commercial aviation. there were around 4 billion journeys made last year and not a single passengerjet crashed. the magazine publisher conde nast has said it has suspended working with two of the world's leading fashion photographers, after they were accused of sexually exploiting male models. lawyers for mario testino — who is known for photographing the royal family, said the accusations, in the new york times, had not come from reliable sources. bruce weber has also denied the allegations against him. the hollywood actor, mark wahlberg, has given the money he earned for re—shooting

scenes in the film, "all the money in the world" to a fund that supports people who've experienced sexual harassment. the scenes had to be filmed again, after kevin spacey was dropped from the project following sexual assault allegations. it emerged that mr wahlberg was paid more than a million pounds for the re—shoot, while his co—star, michelle williams, received just sixty pounds a day in expenses. england have won the first one day international against australia. it follows a disappointing ashes series which they lost four nil. they took the match in melbourne by 5 wickets. jason roy hit a record 180 — the highest by an england player in a one day game. this was the first in a five match series. adam wild reports. for english cricket, a time to rebuild, recover and restore some

respect and some reputations. a fresh start and it's in became a rather good one frequent. early wickets falling. but this is australia, and after dominating all winter they were not about to go easy on their old rivals. a century from aaron finch helps them towards a total of 304. in days gone by such targets were imposing, now, for this england one—day side, it was merely inviting. jason roy, taking up the challenge with the kind of relish missed by england in recent months. brilliantly belligerent he bludgeoned his way to a magnificent 100. taking the game away from australia, the highest one—day innings by an englishman. 180, and the damage was done. joe root, for once, the support act. 91 from him. the win, when it came, comfortable, and for english cricket could scarcely have been more welcome. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel.

the next news on bbc one is at 5 past 6, bye for now. hello, you're watching the bbc news channel. the governor of the state of hawaii has blamed human errorfor a mobile phone alert sent to residents warning of an imminent missile attack. the false alarm caused widespread panic and included the words: "this is not a drill". a corrected text message wasn't sent out until 38 minutes later. bill hayton reports. for around half an hour on saturday, the people of hawaii looked anxiously to the skies. on a university campus, students ran for emergency shelters. an official text warned residents to prepare for the worst. people cowered in bathrooms or took

what cover they could. we all huddled together. we thought, if this is going to be the end, we are in a beautiful place, doing something we love. but, god, it was pretty scary, i tell you. you start hearing stories about what was going on at waikiki beach, they were evacuating hotels, children being pushed into drainpipes. was a north korean nuclear missile about to hit honolulu? actually, no. the whole thing was the result of a stunningly simple mistake. at 8:05am, the test was started. at 8:07am, that's when the trigger is pulled on the test. the wrong button was pushed on this test. it went into an actual event versus a test. there is fury on hawaii that the click of a single button could be responsible for so much panic. that anger is directed towards the state government. i know first—hand that what happened

today was totally unacceptable. and many in our community were deeply affected by this. and i am sorry for that pain and confusion that anyone might have experienced. last month, in response to north korea's missile and nuclear tests, hawaii reinstated its warning sirens for the first time since the end of the cold war. at least everyone now knows the system works, but that is small comfort for the millions who thought their world was about to end on saturday. the new chairman of the conservatives says their activists must be better at using social media to put forward the party's message. brandon lewis who took over the role in last week's government reshuffle, said the tories would equip activists with a cyber "toolkit." speaking to the andrew marr show

mr lewis said he wanted to help supporters engage with potential voters. what matters to me is that we have got a huge number of people, not just members, but volunteers and activists around the country who are out the day in and day out knocking on doors and spreading leaflets, getting on social media to spread the message about the positive things we are doing. to get the message across in local and general elections to give good governance in the local. have you got. as we saw injune last year, we did

not win the seats we would like to win, but we did get over1 million votes tha n win, but we did get over1 million votes than we had before. the biggest ratio we have had in decades. i want to make sure we are building on that and as you say, quite rightly, building our online presence as well but doing it in a respectful way. ellie king is a student who spends time working as a conservative activist and blogger. thank you for being with us. we were hearing there that labour are taking the conservatives today cleaners online. do you agree?” the conservatives today cleaners online. do you agree? i agreed to an extent. they do have a stronger social media platform and a much stronger campaign on the ground. but ido stronger campaign on the ground. but i do think the conservatives are catching up. we do realise it is an issue for us. we realise that politics is changing in the way the m essa 9 es u pwa rd politics is changing in the way the messages upward across and there are

many activists, including myself, how their campaigning both online and on the ground. we are catching up, idon't and on the ground. we are catching up, i don't get is as bad as people think, that we definitely need to improve. you need to improve, brandon lewis has been talking about everybody in the party a toolkit, a digital toolkit, how do you think you can improve, what more could you be doing? i think the digital toolkit is a great idea, retweeting the same message and putting the same thing out in the same way. what is most effective is when each activist puts out a message in their own way and own style. people respond to information in many different ways and it is important we recognise that and use many different mediums, tweets, videos, photos, all these different things to get the message across, rather than just saying the same message over and over again. when you talk about a message, is this a message to young people? is this you are trying to attract? clearly labour at the last election did well in that

area of younger voters, but they had area of younger voters, but they had a message on things like tuition fees that perhaps younger voters wa nted fees that perhaps younger voters wanted to hear, rather than the conservative party message. wanted to hear, rather than the conservative party messagelj wanted to hear, rather than the conservative party message. i agree, the mistake we made in the election was using social media and targeting that towards a younger people with an older people's message. talking aboutjeremy an older people's message. talking about jeremy corbyn and an older people's message. talking aboutjeremy corbyn and his legs to ira does not equate to people with my age who went around at that time. i think it needs to be a positive message and what the conservatives can do to young people rather than just criticising labour for their policies. when we talk about young people, young people doesn'tjust mean students. labour have a very clear and inspiring student policy. but, the conservatives can achieve in other areas of young people. for instance, housing and young professionals. if we target those people, not students, we will make ground and convince people to vote conservatives. thank you. the headlines on bbc news:

the justice secretary is considering a judicial review of the parole board's decision to release serial sex attackerjohn worboys. ukip suspends the girlfriend of its party leader henry bolton, after she allegedly made racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. and a plane skids off a runway during an emergency landing in turkey. the airline says none of the 100 and 68 people on board were injured. sport now...and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. england have beaten australia at last. jason roy made the highest ever one day score — 180 — for england to help his side to victory in the first of five one day internationals. england put the aussies into bat.

aaron finch made 107 and there were half centuries from mitchell marsh and marcus stoinis which helped them to 304 for eight off their 50 overs. england and roy got off to a flyer. the opener shared a record third wicket partnership for england in this format of 221 withjoe root. root himself made an unbeaten 91 in england's 308 for five. exciting news for anthonyjoshua fans, confirmation at last of his world heavyweight unification clash with new zealand's joseph parker. following weeks of negotiations, the two reigning heavyweight champs will meet on the 31st of march at cardiff's principality stadium — wherejoshua staged his most recent victory against french challenger carlos ta ka m. the contest will put the winner within touching distance of becoming the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the world since lennox lewis back in 1999. we're hearing that alexis sanchez is not in arsenal's matchday

squad for their game at bournemouth this lunchtime. he looks increasingly likely to leave the club in the transfer window rather than move for nothing when he's out of contract in the summer. manchester united rather than manchester city could be his destination. manchester city are going for their first victory at anfield for nearly 15 years later. the premier league leaders will go 18 points clear if they win, while liverpool need a point to hang on to fourth place. in football, anything can happen. of course we could lose the title, because you never know what will happen. of course we could maintain our level. the consistency and the way we played. we have the chance. but we never know. we could go down for lack of confidence or we don't play very well. we will see. roger federer says his age helps take the pressure off as he heads

into the australian open tipped to win. the swiss five—time champion won his first major title for five years with a stunning run in melbourne last year. and with rivals novak djokovic and rafael nadal on their way back from injury, and britain's andy murray absent, federer remains the man to beat. with age i feel like i've played down my chances just because i don't think 36—year—old should be a favourite in a tournament. that should not the case. that's why i see things more relaxed. i'm at a later stage in my career. maybe somebody like a rafah, with the year he has had, or a novak, with the six titles he has had, even if it is unknown how he is feeling, they could very well be the favourites. at the end of the day, it's alljust talk beforehand. and finally, we're now going to show you a piece of sporting perfection — and it couldn't come at a better time for shaun white. with less than a month to go until the winter olympics

the american has scored a perfect 100 in halfpipe. his winning run at the us grand prix included some of the toughest tricks in the business. white is the favourite to win a third gold medal. talk about qualifying for the olympic team in style. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. after almost a week of anti—austerity protests, tunisia is marking the anniversary of the revolution that sparked the arab spring in 2011. commemorating the overthrow of the old regime of president ben ali has coincided with social unrest over tax rises and price hikes, some of which turned violent. from the capital tunis, mark lowen reports. there is a bittersweet mood as tunisians mark the seventh anniversary of their revolution. pride that they ushered

in a parliamentary democracy of some sort, but frustration, too, that the dreams of 2011 for a better life failed as they did. seven years from the revolution till now, we think, alongside with the tunisian people themselves, that politicians do nothing. they have seen waves of social unrest, terror attacks and injuries. this week's protests sparked by an austerity filled budget to satisfy tunisia's lenders. around 800 people were arrested as violence flared. we are protesting against the new budget for the country. they are raising the prices way too much and we can't afford anything anymore. we are living on the line of poverty. it's too much. the government has announced a $70 billion package of reforms to help the families, hoping it will stave off more demonstrations. translation: firstly,

providing a minimum amount for tunisian families. secondly, guaranteeing health care for all tunisians, with no exception, and providing or helping to provide appropriate housing to tunisian families. there is talk of raising the minimum wage and universal health care. the plans will reportedly be discussed in parliament within one week. seven years on, tunisia is held up as a success of the arab spring, but that's compared to the failed state of libya and return to military rule in egypt. for many here, the overwhelming hope of 2011 feels increasingly like a distant memory. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news this afternoon. the european aerospace company, airbus, says it's been ordered to pay a fine of nearly a hundred million dollars over a missile sale to taiwan in 1992. in a statement, airbus said the fine

related to a breach of contract involving its subsidiary — matra defense — which airbus acquired in 1998. the french president emmanuel macron has spoken to the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, to stress the importance of keeping the international nuclear deal with iran. the call came a day after donald trump demanded a follow—on agreement that would impose new restrictions on tehran. election documents in the united states indicate that chelsea manning — the transgender soldier who was jailed for a leak of classified data — is seeking the democratic party's nomination for a senate seat. ms manning, who was released last year after serving police in south africa have used rubber bullets to disperse gangs of protesters who were ransacking shops in johannesburg belonging to the swedish clothing company, h&m. the attacks were coordinated by a militant political group in retaliation for what it said

were racist adverts run by the company. russell trott reports. inside a shopping mall injohannesburg, a south african store paying the price of a marketing decision in london. h&m has apologised, but that didn't placate these activists from the far left economic freedom fighters. video footage showed them knocking over mannequins and wrecking displays. police said items were stolen and they fired rubber bullets to drive out the demonstrators. there were several protests on saturday from cape town to pretoria. in most places, they were peaceful. the economic freedom fighters are angry about h&m's choice of a black child to model a sweatshirt with the slogan, coolest monkey in the jungle. h&m withdrew the adverts earlier this week, but that didn't satisfy the group. one of its selected members of parliament called for the chain to be closed in south africa. there is no sign of that happening, but the company's troubles seem far from over.

tenants could be given greater powers to take legal action against rogue landlords, after the government agreed to back a labour mp's private member's bill. the legislation would give people renting in both the private and social sectors the right to take legal action for breach of contract, if landlords don't ensure their property's fit for habitation. research seen by the bbc revealed that one in ten tenants has had a gas leak, a fire, or safety concerns in their home in the last year. the french president has thrown his support behind a push to protect the humble baguette by making it a unesco cultural treasure. emmanuel macron said the "baguette is the envy of the whole world". the italian art of making pizza became unesco—listed last year. it's a national symbol and a huge part of french life. now master bakers are pushing

for baguettes to be officially recognised as a cultural treasure. and its traditional recipe, iconic shape and world—famous name legally protected. we speak of the french person with a baguette under his arm. why not? artisan bread makers are worried about mass produced copies flooding into supermarkets. frozen bread with imported ingredients. but still bearing the name baguette, all the same. there are a lot of imitations, but here are the baguettes are home—made. we get up at two to three in the morning to make bread. the traditional baguette is already protected by french law. to meet the criteria, it must only be made from four ingredients: wheat flour, water, yeast and salt. it cannot be frozen or contain added preservatives. if we lose this tradition, we will not be able to make

the bread properly. the bakers have been inspired by the success of naples pizza in italy, which became unesco protected last year. also making the list, spanish flamenco dancing, yoga and belgian beer culture, just to name a few. they are all deemed so significant they must be preserved forfuture generations. now news about the latest addition to one of france's best zoos. the animal in question attracted a large crowd on his first public appearance — no doubt because he is the first of his kind — as the bbc‘s tim allman explains. yuan meng has all the usual baby panda credentials. he is fury, cute, completely irresistible.

but he isn't any old baby panda. he is french. the first—ever panda born in france, making his public debut. climbing, exploring, cuddling with mum. putting on a real show. i'm going to welcome the people who come out, visitors, ourfans, and i'm going to introduce them to our adorable ball of fur, who is especially cute right now. it's a big moment, it's very moving. and come they did, hundreds of them. queueing up for a glimpse of this, quote, adorable ball of fur. he has a certain gallic charm. the cub was born in august last year. his tiny sibling died a few hours after birth. for some, this was an emotional experience. is it touching? it's a joy. it really makes us happy.

it made me cry. we absolutely wanted to be here, said this woman, to discover this ball of fur. it's a little ball of happiness. there's also a lot of symbolism behind the panda, so we are happy to be here. him and his parents are eventually due to return to china in the next few years.
