hello, you're watching afternoon live. today at 2pm. against his extradition to the us — where he's accused of hacking into government computers and stealing a large amount of classified data. the reason i've gone through this ordeal is not to just save myself from being kidnapped and locked up in 99 years in a country i've never visited yellow macro but this is to set a president so this will never happen to anyone else in the future. a white supremacist, ethan stables, has been convicted of a terrorist offence, after planning to carry out a machete attack on a gay pride event in cumbria. a new ring—fenced tax to fund the nhs and social care has been proposed by a panel of health experts, backed by the liberal democrats. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with sarah. what a night for the phildaelphia eagles at the super bowl. a first super bowl title for the

philadelphia eagles, at the third time of asking. it was a thrilling final with many records broken. they beat the favourite is the new england patriots and we have the details later. it was quite a show. louise has all the weather — snow! yes, we might have some snow, this is what we had this morning. we have also has some lovely blue skies and sunshine but across the north west your chance of snow will arrive overnight. also coming up, thousands of people can't get out of their time—share contracts because they are too complex and too costly.

weh—afl'hfmtrment earlier monsieur barnier arrived in downing street with his british opposite number. he'd earlier warned that the uk must respect eu rules during the transition period. and while britain has told him time and again what it isn't going to do, he could be forgiven for wanting clarity on what the uk is going to do. our political correspondent leila nathoo reports. on his way to london, the eu's chief brexit negotiator, keen for talks to resume, and to speed up. good afternoon. my feeling, not a minute to lose, because we want to achieve a deal, and, once again, not a minute to lose. there's so much work to do,

so we have decided for this reason to speed up the contacts. theresa may has been under pressure to say more about the kind of brexit she wants. as she returned to downing street this morning no 10 insisted britain was clear that they would be leaving the customs union. so what does that mean? at the moment britain can trade freely with the eu, as eu member states don't impose tariffs on each other‘s goods. all member states also impose the same taxes on goods coming in from outside the bloc, so individual states cannot do their own deals with other countries. and that is what theresa may wants to change, by ruling out staying in any sort of customs union with eu after brexit. what i would say about the customs union is that if we were members of it it would inhibit our ability to strike deals with other countries, and that is one of the benefits of brexit, that we can have more flexiblity.

and we can extend those trade deals across the world. but the prime minister's critics warn that such a break with the eu will be damaging for the economy, disrupting trade with a crucial partner, and raising questions about trade across the irish border. there are a lot of answers we need to know to be able to react. it's like anything else but it is major in this instance. as business grows we have issues we have to deal with but this is outside of our control currently. once it is defined. but the impact will be very severe on us. some asking for closer ties in the future sit around the cabinet table. for 19 months we have heard a lot of, "we're not going to do this and we're not going to do that."

what are we going to do? that is what we are waiting to hear, and it is what the 27 countries the uk is negotiating with are waiting to hear, and in the meantime the uncertainty is really bad for business. this is a crucial week for brexit negotiations, notjust between the uk and brussels but also within the cabinet. senior ministers are trying to settle on what they want. by categorically waving goodbye to a customs union after brexit, theresa may has tried to appease the rest of tory brexiteers, but there will need to be a compromised agreement on detail for any of the discussions to move on. our correspondent vicki young is in downing street. theresa may is constantly having to balance what she wants with negotiations with appeasing those on the backbenches. yes, as people have said, we know what the uk government doesn't want, and we have had some suggestion of what they might be

asking for and in the summer there was a document put up, david davis spoke about the alternatives. he spoke about the alternatives. he spoke about the alternatives. he spoke about a highly streamlined arrangements with customs requirements as frictionless as adopting new technology, is ”if " ' and ' " " is ”if " ' and the " is “it " ' and the ”s; is that is one option, andrthe ether—is customs that is one option, anorthe other—is customs but the 75:7 ee don't e 327227 there are some further details. there are some people who suspect this new technology probably hasn't even been invented. it is not entirely clear what the exact proposal is today, and the prime minister's spokesperson said what had been going on this now a0 and it would continue. the issue of the irish border is crucial —— had been going on for a year border is crucial —— had been going on fora yearand border is crucial —— had been going on for a year and it would continue. seniorfigures in the on for a year and it would continue. senior figures in the cabinet will have a couple of meetings later this week were they will try to thrash this out. whether we will be told what they have concluded is a different matter. all we have seen,

shell barnier is a sense of frustration and he keeps referring to the fact that time is running out -- all to the fact that time is running out —— all we have seen from michel barnier. yes, we have been talking about this for so long, and we're getting to the point where we are leaving in march next year which is coming very quickly. michel barnier has said he wants to have arrangements in place and everything sorted by october, but the focus todayis sorted by october, but the focus today is mainly on the transitional implementation period. where most people expect things to remain very similar for people expect things to remain very similarforup toa people expect things to remain very similarfor up to a couple of years, and that is all because they don't wa nt and that is all because they don't want businesses on both sides of the channel having to change their arrangements for this transition period and then having to change them all again when we work out what them all again when we work out what the future relationship is going to be. going back to the point about a compromise, there will have to be one, of course, within the cabinet and also with the european union. the british government sounds like you would like to set up something which has never happened before and that of course will be difficult and

potentially a very lengthy exercise —— sounds as if it would like to set up —— sounds as if it would like to set up something which has never happened before. thanks forjoining us. a man accused of hacking into computers at the fbi and nasa has won a high court challenge against extradition to the united states. lauri love, who's 32, could have faced 90 years in prison if found guilty in a trial in america. angus crawford reports. lauri love is a wanted man. us authorities say he is a hacker who stole vast amounts of data. for his supporters, he's vulnerable, with asperger‘s syndrome. if sent to america, he could face a lifetime in jail. today, the high court had to decide if he could be extradited. thejudges ruled the risk of severe depression and suicide was too great. we're very happy and relieved. we're very thankful for the high court, for thejudges, for their wisdom and discernment. thankful for all the support we've had, without which i'm not sure i would have made it this far.

ifje'st wielhthas—takei’r the far right are once more becoming on social media. personally i think facebook should have closed his account. i was quite horrified to see his main picture was him looking very aryan in front of a swastika banner, flag, and the literature was very extreme nazi propaganda. facebook has not commented on why stables remained online, despite at least four complaints against him. during his defence he claimed he never meant his words and that he was in fact bisexual. his conviction today for preparing an act of terrorism means he could face a life sentence. dominic casciani, bbc news, barrow.
