tonight at 22.00: tensions in cabinet, as borisjohnson is rebuked by the prime minister, for demanding more health spending. reporter: do you want to be the chancellor, foreign secretary, or perhaps health secretary? mrjohnson was told that cabinet discussions should remain private, as the chancellor stepped in to add his case. mrjohnson is the foreign secretary. i gave the health secretary an extra £6 billion at the recent budget and we'll look at departmental allocations again at the spending review when that takes place. but as winter pressures take their toll, in many hospitals, the health secretary acknowledges that more money would be welcome. i don't think any health secretary is ever going to not support potential extra resources for his or her department. we'll have the latest on the cabinet divisions, and we'll be looking at the pressure on nhs finances in england. also tonight: scotland yard is investigating a new allegation of sexual assault made against the convicted rapist, john worboys. rupert murdoch's plan for a takeover of sky has been provisionally blocked by regulators.

we report from the remote waters of antarctica, where scientists are demanding protection for the unique ecosystems they've found. and the south african jazz musician, and campaigner against apartheid, hugh masekela, has died at the age of 78. and coming up in sportsday later in the hour on bbc news: manchester city look to reach wembley for next month's league cup final but it's anothger tough match against bristol city. good evening. the foreign secretary boris johnson, has been rebuked by both the prime minister and the chancellor after he let it be known

that he wanted substantial new spending on the nhs in england. at today's cabinet meeting, theresa may reminded colleagues that discussions should be held in private. and the chancellor pointed out that he'd already allocated extra resources in last year's budget. the row underlined concerns among some conservative mps about the government's handling of the winter pressures on the nhs, as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. she can come out in a wheelchair. that's our treatment room anyway, so that's not going to free up a bed. long waits... this gentleman hasjust come in. long days, another glimpse of the pressure at the university of north tees hospital, like wards around the country. we need more beds in the hospital. we need more beds for them to go to. number ten knows hospitals, patients and the public looks at them for answers. however unwelcome visitors making demands really are. reporter: do you want to be the chancellor, foreign secretary? he called for more cash at cabinet for the health service,

making public before, what he planned to raise in private. the prime minister and others, unimpressed. inside, borisjohnson was told off for letting it be known he had been making such a call. reporter: foreign secretary, did you ask for more money for the nhs? no word after either way, from him. but other ministers didn't quite manage to hide their annoyance at what he'd done. did the foreign secretary raise the nhs this morning? you know as well as i do, you can't go discussing cabinet. the foreign secretary has been discussing the cabinet. clearly, many mps and the foreign secretary are frustrated that not enough is being done? we have record funding going into the nhs. we put in extra money in for the winter pressures. we've got a really good story to tell. the health secretary hurried into a waiting car, but is not surprisingly unsympathetic to the idea of more taxpayers‘ money.

this has stirred up a lot of fuss, but don't expect the foreign secretary's pronouncements to make much difference soon. but it's tricky for number ten, notjust because he is a loud voice who doesn't always toe the line. notjust because there are genuine concerns about how the health service is coping, but because there is an anxiety among some tory mps that number ten is short of ideas and short on ambition too. boris is right to speak out. it's not his brief and people might be upset about that, but if people wanted to speak out like boris, then they should have done. why the foreign secretary is making this point, is anybody's guess. but i think boris has set out his stall on brexit, now he setting out his stall on the nhs and no doubt we'll see boris setting out his stall on a lot of issues. i think boris has bor—exited himself from cabinet collective responsibility. the man in charge of the government's cheque—book hardly sounds sympathetic. mrjohnson is the foreign secretary.

i gave the health secretary an extra £6 billion at the recent budget and we will look at departmental allocations again at the spending review when that takes place. thank you. sources suggest the health secretary is not plotting with mrjohnson, but perhaps every little helps. i don't think any health secretary is ever going to not support potential extra resources for his or her department. there was agreement in cabinet that money that may come back to the uk after brexit should be spent on priorities like the health service. but that is set against labour's demand for an extra 5 billion now. for patients like blanche, who we met struggling back in stockton, waiting on a trolley, the nhs often helps them to a rapid recovery. yes, ifeel a lot better now, than i did, yeah. but for politicians who oversee the service, there's rarely a simple case. laura kuennsburg, bbc news, westminster. ministers insist that there are more

doctors and nurses employed in the national health service in england than ever before. and this year spending on england's nhs will go up by more than £2 billion. but at the same time, as we've been reporting, there have been unprecedented demands on the nhs. hugh pym is here to take a closer look at the numbers. well huw, as always the nhs debate covers money — politicians talking about billions of pounds. the chancellor mentioned £6 billion more in the budget for the nhs in england but that's spread over five years. there are growing demands now for radical thinking about health and social care funding, trying to work out what's needed in future decades and how much extra money taxpayers will have to find. the workforce is under pressure. vacant nursing and midwifery posts reached a new high of more than 3a,000 in england. that's added to the debate about the need for long—term planning. some senior figures at westminster say only a break from party politics will allow the right treatment of the nhs‘s problems.

we need to take the long view. rather than just having these short—term emergency injections of cash, let's properly look at the scale of demand, where that's coming from and how we meet it, not just for the next year or two years, but for the next ten years and beyond. so, what is the current state of the nhs? well, it's added more staff, just over 10,000 more doctors in england since 2010. but they've had to cope with a rapid rise in patient numbers. there was a 40% increase in the number of operations carried out in england over the last decade. and over that time, attendances at a&e in england went up by almost 30%. spending across the uk has gone up. this graph shows the rise since 1950. it's now more than £140 billion a year. but while the uk spends 9.7% of its national income on health, that compares poorly with other major eu nations.

france, on 11%, and germany on 11.3%. and now nhs leaders say more money is needed. the system itself, the way it is designed, is not yet fit to deal with the challenges that are faced by a growing number of elderly people with a whole range of conditions. so we need funding change, and we also need transformation of the way in which services are organised. that's for the future but the here and now for nhs patients and staff is day to day stress and pressure. they will feel that however much debate takes place, solutions are needed and fast. huw. many thanks, our health editor there, hugh pym with the latest look at the figures. the trial of darren 0sborne, who's accused of driving a van into a group of muslims outside a mosque in north london, has heard that he received direct messages from far—right groups before the attack. 0sborne denies one charge of murder and one of attempted murder. 51—year—old makram ali was killed

in the incident injune last year, as our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. the seconds just before a large white van, travelling at speed, smashed into a crowd of muslim men marking ramadan lastjune. it was the fourth attack last year and the first to target muslims. the prosecution said that in the previous fortnight, the man on trial for the attack, darren 0sborne, had searched dozens of times on the internet for ultra nationalist groups and stories about terror attacks, like the manchester bombing. the jury heard that in the 15 days before the attack, darren 0sborne received two direct communications from far right leaders. a direct message on twitter from the deputy leader of britain first, jayda fransen and a note from tommy robinson, one of the founders of the english defence league, in which he talked about a nation within a nation forming beneath the surface in the uk. a nation based upon

violence and on islam. 0n the morning of the day before the attack, 0sborne had hired a large box van from a local rental company. and that evening, he sat down in his local pub in cardiff with a pen and paper. the prosecution say that's when he wrote a note, later found in the van, which talks about feral, inbred, raping muslim men, hunting in packs. callum spence, a serving soldier, was in the pub. he told the jury that darren 0sborne said to him, "all ourfamilies are going to be muslim." and then, "i'm going to kill all muslims, i'm going to take things into my own hands." less than 28 hours later, the van darren 0sborne hired, killed makram ali and seriously injured several others. he denies murder and attempted murder. daniel sandford, bbc news, at woolwich crown court. the metropolitan police is investigating a new allegation of sexual assault, made against the convicted rapist, john worboys.

bbc news understands that the claim dates back to 1997, and the alleged victim came forward in the past few weeks. worboys, who was jailed nine years ago, has been cleared for release by the parole board at the end of this month. our home affairs editor, mark easton, is at scotland yard. mark, how do this potentially affect the plans to releasejohn worboys? well, given the huge national outcry at the worboys‘ case i'm sure the police will be throwing everything they can at this new investigation. still in its early stages, they will be wanting to put that case together as quickly as possible and present it to prosecutor. the crown prosecution service will still need to be persuaded that there is a reasonable chance of conviction and it is in the public interest to pursue this through the courts. that may not be straightforward. this

allegation is from 1997, an allegation is from 1997, an allegation of sexual assault against john wore biens the prosecutors will need to be persuaded that it pass what is they call the evidential test. this is an allegation that preceded all those convictions in 2009. the police will pursue this with vigour and they will want it chargejohn worboys when he is still in prison, held currently at belmarsh near london, at which point his parole will almost certainly be rescinded and that will be a huge relief for many ofjohn war boys‘ victims who have expressed extreme concern about his imminent release were jail. thank you very much. rupert murdoch's planned £11 billion takeover of sky has been provisionally blocked by regulators because of concerns it would give mr murdoch ‘too much control over news providers in the uk'. the competition and markets authority said that 21st century fox's plans were ‘not in the public interest‘, but it offered some remedies to address the concerns —

as our media editor, amol rajan, explains. for nearly three decades, sky has entertained millions across europe and through its news channel, provided a world class rival to the dominant bbc. it was the brainchild of rupert murdoch, who was nearly bankrupted by his mission to provide british viewers with greater choice. reporter: mr murdoch do you have anything to say to the victims of phone hacking? when in 2010—11 he bid forfull control of the broadcaster, the phone hacking scandal at his newspapers scuppered his ambition. this is the most humble day of my life. the news of the world shut, but murdoch still owns other leading titles such as the times and the sun. today, however, parliament heard that the competition and markets authority was provisionally satisfied with the murdoch's commitment to broadcasting standards but there remain issues over media plurality. it has also raised concerns that the murdoch family trust would have increased influence over

public opinion and the political agenda. they've basically concluded that rupert murdoch is too powerful in this country, he owns too much of our media estate and if he gets control of 100% of sky that will give him a disproportionate advantage over his competitors and he'll wield even more influence over politicians. fox said they are disappointed by the cma's provisional findings but still anticipate regulatory approval of the transaction by the end ofjune. the murdochs argue that since their last bid, the media industry has undergone huge disruption. digital giants like netflix and amazon have hugely increased competition in the tv marketplace while newspapers are under pressure as never before. but the curiosity about this story is that the fate of sky could be in the hands of american, rather than british regulators. last year murdoch shocked the industry by declaring he was selling his entertainment business to the us giant disney. that deal is now being scrutinised under competition grounds in the us. maybe rupert murdoch

saw this coming. his decision to sell up to disney shows he was willing to part company with businesses that he'd lost millions of pounds on. the issue now is whether or not disney is as committed as the murdochs were, notjust to sky but to sky news, because if they're not, well, their media plurality in britain will be under threat. the early signs are that disney's boss, bob eiger, does see sky news as integral to sky. but as a loss—making distraction that doesn't play to disney's strengths, it'll be months before sky's staff and audiences have complete clarity on their future. amol rajan, bbc news. scientists have called for some of the most remote waters in antarctica to be given special protection because they've discovered unique ecosystems in the waters of the weddell sea. for much of the year, the vast area is covered in ice. 0ur environment correspondent, claire marshall, has travelled on a greenpeace ship to the weddell sea, off the antarctic peninsula.

and she was able to dive down beneath the surface in a submarine to see for herself what the scientists have found. she sent this exclusive report. antarctica, the most remote continent in the world, encased in glacial ice thousands of feet thick. it's still largely unexplored and we know even less about the icy seas that ring it. now, machines are making it possible for us to catch a glimpse. a mini—submarine is taking marine biologist dr susan lockhart down into the antarctic deep. above is a land of frigid ice, below is a thriving mass of life. that's really pretty. no light penetrates this deep. plants can't grow, these are all animals. then it was my turn to go down with pilotjohn.

we dropped much deeper. more than 1,000 feet down, we find a wall of life. sponges and corals, sea stars, feather stars, all thriving in complete darkness. a robot arm captures samples. some of these species have never been filmed before. they're threatened by an increase in fishing in the region. too soon, we have to leave. so there's a storm apparently brewing on the surface, so the ship have asked us to come up. 22, do you have a visual, over? we surface very close to some icebergs. we might have to nudge some ice out of the way, as well. that will be a massive chunk of ice. at last, the diver gets

a hook on our sub. but then the crane breaks, we're stranded for an hour. it feels good to finally be down. that's nice. yeah, yeah. we gathered evidence of a unique ecosystem that deserves protection. it's really exciting, a really dense sea bed full of life and huge diversity. and also, organisms living together creating a 3—d structure, so more organisms can move and these can be very vulnerable to disturbance and they need special protection. no—one could deny that this region needs protecting, but what is the best way to do it? is a line on a map really going to make much difference, and who is going to police

anything out here? the proposal to protect all these creatures and their world will be heard by the antarctic nations in october. claire marshall, bbc news, the antarctic peninsula. a brief look at some of the day's other news stories: the ministry of defence has regained control of a defence review that was expected to have proposed major cuts for the armed forces. it's being seen as a significant move and a political victory for the defence secretary, gavin williamson. the white house has announced the first state visit to the us since donald trump became president. the guest — in april — will be the french president, emmanuel macron. it will include the first formal dinner hosted by president trump and the first lady. labour's main decision—making body, the national executive committee, has met for the first time since three new members — all from the grassroots group momentum — were elected. momentum's founder, jon lansman, described his election to the nec earlier this month as a victory for ‘21st—century socialism'.

phil neville has been appointed head coach of england women's football team. the former manchester united and everton star takes over from interim manager mo marley, who has been in charge since former boss mark sampson's sacking in september. the norwegian prime minister, erna solberg, has told the bbc that the uk should push for a so—called soft brexit. speaking at the world economic forum in davos, she said the uk was unlikely to get a better deal than norway — which is not a member of the eu, but is part of the european economic area. ms solberg was talking to our economics editor, kamal ahmed, who's in davos. thanks very much. the prime minister of norway said she was offering this advice as a friend, from a country that was very keen to have closer

economic ties both with the european union and with britain. but she was certainly very clear when i caught up certainly very clear when i caught up with her earlier today about what that advice entailed. up with her earlier today about what that advice entailed. we hope that there will be an agreement that we will call a soft brexit, an agreement that will not put large barriers for the trade inside europe again. that we hope they will find a good solution. and we are both working well with the british and with the eu on that. and the eu areunderstanding that we are integrated in the single market. there are three countries outside the eu who are following all of the internal regulations on the single market. and norway, of course, has a very large trade and activity towards britain. the norwegian prime minister. now, tomorrow will be europe day. count them, the number of european leaders arriving here at the world economic forum, six in total. i have been coming here nearly ten years and i

have not seen so many in one day. the leaders of germany, france, italy, poland, sweden and greece will arrive at the world economic forum. i think they will talk about globalisation and they will say europe is open for business. something of a riposte, i think, to that big arrival on friday, president trump, who talks about protectionism. leaders tomorrow in europe, iam protectionism. leaders tomorrow in europe, i am sure they will touch on brexit, but their big message is, free trade is good for global growth and europe wants to beat at the heart of that debate. we will catch up again tomorrow, thank you very much, from davos. one of south africa's most famous musicians, the jazz trumpeter hugh masekela, has died at the age of 78. he fled the country in 1960 and became a prominent campaigner against the system of white—minority rule, known as apartheid. his song bring him back home — calling for the release of nelson mandela from prison — became an international anthem for the anti—apartheid movement.

today, president zuma said hugh masekela had ‘kept the torch of freedom alive‘, as pumza fihlani reports from south africa. the trumpet has finally fallen. the passing of hugh masekela has shocked many across the country and around the world. bra hugh, as he was affectionately known, has been described as ‘the epitome of a life lived in full‘. afamily man, a family man, a world—renowned artist, and a philanthropist. the 78—year—old was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had put up a fierce fight but last october, he was forced to cancel all his concerts and focus on his help. fellow musician and friend yvonne chaka chaka says africa has lost its greatest treasure. i think uncle hugh

was a living legend. he may be gone, but his music will always be there. the world has lost a great icon. the world has lost a leader. the world has lost a comedian, because he was hilarious. where there was uncle hugh, there was just laughter all the time. and, erm, i don‘t know what to say. i‘m just heartbroken, i‘m upset, but i‘ll remember all the good things that he did. whether you were younger, you are a diplomat, a king, a leader ora street person, you all equal in his face and he would greet everybody and talk to everybody.” face and he would greet everybody and talk to everybody. i lived in liberia, in senegal. at the height of white oppression in south africa, for many black musicians, jazz became the soundtrack of the resistance. masekela was forced into

exile as political and racial tensions increased, but once he returned, he was determined to make a difference. i need to pay back and the only way to pay back, i think, is by making the people see how wonderful they are and how excellent they are. he described himself as a troublesome child and spoke openly about the many times music saved his life, even later at the height of a drug addiction. this picture marked one of the moment it began when a missionary father trevor huddleston gave him his first trumpet and with that, the music legend was born. he was an unlikely ally at the height of racial oppression here in south africa. masekela continued to use as voice over the years to speak truth to power. the musician and campaigner hugh masekela, who‘s died at the age of 78. tennis, and britain‘s kyle edmund has made spectacular progress

at the australian open, to reach his first grand slam semi—final. the world number 49 beat the third seed, grigor dimitrov, making him only the sixth british man to reach the last four at a grand slam for half a century, asjoe wilson reports. this is potential realised. this is hope made reality. this is kyle edmund, in melbourne. a big first serve delivers! his opponent in the quarterfinal, grigor dimitrov, has been the next big thing in men‘s tennis for years and he fought back to win the second set. closes it out at the first time of asking. but edmund won the third and found himself on the brink. edmund‘s always had power, but now he has the composure to see things through when it gets close — and this was pretty close. he's done it! hang on, wait and see! match point decided by a hawk—eye replay. as andy murray described it on twitter, "wow!". i know what it feels like to be andy murray

for the last eight years, or however long! laughter. when you‘re on these type of stages, you know, you‘re reaching the last stages of the best tournament in the world, it‘s obviously very pleasing but, of course, i want to keep going. kyle edmund may have peaked on the other side of the world, but he was made right here in yorkshire. as an eight year old, you mayjust have spotted him on one of these courts. and it‘s here in beverley where you‘ll find a man who was hitting against kyle edmund as a boy. he's always had the ability. i mean, last year, he always seemed to come off second—best really in tight matches. possibly down to the mental side, which is, the biggest thing i've been impressed with him, his mental side of it and how he's applied himself on court. is this success going to change him? er, no, absolutely not. he's very grounded, very level—headed. he's quite a shy character. as ajunior, kyle edmund came through the british system. he‘s worked hard on his physique recently.

edmund lifted the davis cup in 2015, although the murray brothers won britain‘s matches in the final. between tournaments, you may find kyle edmund in the bahamas these days, but the new star is from beverley‘s hills. joe wilson, bbc news, in yorkshire. in los angeles, the oscar nominations have been announced, and leading the field — with 13 nominations — is the fantasy romance the shape of water, starring the british actress sally hawkins. the best actor category is dominated by british performers — with gary 0ldman, daniel day—lewis and daniel kaluuya all nominated. and meryl streep, who already has three 0scars to her name, has been nominated for the 21st time in her career — as our arts editor, will gompertz, tells us. guillermo del toro‘s amphibian fantasy love story the shape of water leads the way, with 13 0scar nominations, including best picture. this is the most sensitive asset ever to be housed in this facility. so, mildred hayes, why did you put up these billboards? a category which also sees the critically acclaimed

dark comedy thriller three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri nominated. ..saw an actual crime. i want to go where culture is... as well as the coming—of—age drama lady bird. well, writers live in the woods... good to see an old brother around here. also short—listed is the horror mystery get out. ah, yes. and a couple of british world war ii films. christopher nolan‘s dunkirk. when will the lesson be learned?! and joe wright‘s the darkest hour, which sees winston churchill struggling in his early days as britain‘s wartime prime minister. when your head is in its mouth! several of the scenes in the darkest hour were shot in a replica of this place, the churchill war rooms in westminster, where i am joined by terri white, editor—in—chief of the film magazine empire. terri, welcome. thank you. we‘re going to go through the runners and riders, starting with best film. will darkest hour win? i actually don‘t think it will. i think we‘re looking at a win for shape of water, the guillermo del toro fantasy film.

but actually, the film i think should win is get out. which has a british rising star, daniel kaluuya, in the lead role. he gets a best actor nomination. i'm certain i was never meant to marry... along with daniel day—lewis, for phantom thread, timothee chalamet for call me by your name... i'm tired of doing the impossible for the ungrateful... denzel washington for roman j. israel, esq. really, yes, sir! and gary 0ldman, for the darkest hour. i sit in this chair! well, terri, that‘s quite a list for the best actor and quite a lot of stories. will daniel day—lewis win yet another 0scar, in what will be his last film? will gary 0ldman win for churchill, for darkest hour, in the cabinet war rooms? or will it be somebody else? i think this is gary 0ldman‘s year.
