brendan cox, the widower of murdered labour mpjo cox, has announced he's standing down from two charities set up in her memory following historic allegations of inappropriate behaviour with a female colleague. this evening, mr cox took to social media to say he took the action to "face up to mistakes" he made several years ago, while at the charity save the children, and apologised. with me is out political correspondent susana mendonca. personal, could you explain who

brendan cox is? people may remain during 2016, the eu referendum campaign,jo cox was during 2016, the eu referendum campaign, jo cox was murdered outside her constituency —— may remember. she was murdered by a far right extremist. following her murder, she was the mother of two young children, her husband was brendan cox. he then began to campaign, really, against extremism. he set up and got involved in charitable works, thejo cox foundation was set up and matt moore in coleman was set up —— maureen, and were set up. it follows allegations that have been made against him. what are those allegations? we understand a former colleague who worked with him while he worked at save the children, back in 2015, claims that he had drunkenly harassed a female

employee. there is an allegation in the mail on sunday about holding someone the mail on sunday about holding someone by the throat and making a llera comment. as well is that, there are accusations that he forced himself on to a woman during a trip to harvard university in the us. we have had a response from brendan cox. he said that in terms of the allegations in the united states, he does not accept that those allegations are true. and in terms of his time at save the children, he says he made mistakes and that he perhaps behaved in a way that caused some hurt and offence to women. i have been speaking to somebody close to brendan cox in the last few minutes who has said that he certainly doesn't accept these allegations that he sexually assaulted anybody, but the way he behaved may have offended some women, and so on that basis he is very apologetic for that and has made his public statement apologising. it comes in a week where there has been a spotlight on charities and the conduct of staff.

we have had allegations that 0xfam aid workers and to help people in haiti following the earthquake in 2011, that they used prostitutes. that is something that has brought the spotlight onto this whole issue ofaid the spotlight onto this whole issue of aid agencies and whether or not people are being properly vetted and whether they are being properly investigated when allegations are made against them. save the children 110w made against them. save the children now being implicated in this. thank you very much. susana mendonca. ukip has voted to remove its leader, henry bolton, following controversy over racist messages sent by his former partner about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. mr bolton had refused to stand down, but today over 60% of members backed a motion of no confidence in him. the party is now looking for its fifth leader in 18 months, as our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. therefore henry bolton has been removed by the democratic decision of the membership...

and with that, ukip bid farewell to another short—lived leader. henry bolton had put his fate in the hands of the party members and five months after they elected him they voted him out. you don't embark on something like this, obviously, hoping to win through. and then find that you don't win through, without feeling, you know, some disappointment, of course. but hey, you know, take it on the chin and move on. it was his relationship withjo marney that led to questions over his future. she sent a series of offensive messages leading ukip's ruling body to demand he quit. today, party members voted and they endorsed that decision. so the mep, gerard batten, has ta ken over temporarily. before the fourth leadership contest in 18 months. costly for a cash—strapped party. ukip has to continue because we are the only opposition. this party was riding high

after the brexit referendum, but since then it's been in turmoil, struggling for direction and leadership. and there is a risk today's result could only deepen divisions. i think it's a big mistake and i think there are very few people within the party who potentially could be leader. can ukip survive another leadership contest now? of course it can, of course it can. we're like, we're like vampires, you stake us, we come back to life, you can't get rid of us, i'm sorry. plenty here believe in ukip's future, its role in the brexit debate. but many fear the turmoil at the top means it will never again be the influential force it once was. alex forsyth, bbc news, birmingham. team gb is celebrating its most successful day in winter olympic history. lizzy yarnold won gold in the women's skeleton, becoming the first briton ever to retain a winter olympic title. there was a bronze, too, in the event — for her team—mate laura deas,

and a bronze in the ski slopestyle for izzy atkin. david 0rnstein reports from pyeongchang. —— we will have much more on events injung chang and the rest of the day's sport at a quarter past 11. —— pyeongchang. the prime minister has called for a new security treaty with the european union after brexit, warning that lives could be at risk without full co—operation. in a speech in germany, theresa may said new arrangements over working together should be effective by next year. the president of the european commission, jean—claude juncker, agreed that a post—brexit security alliance was necessary, but said it should be negotiated separately from other issues, such as trade. 0ur political correspondent vicki young reports from munich. in defence and security the uk is a significant player. the prime minister hopes that will get her a special deal. she arrived in munich keen to lay

out britain's contribution. generous spending on defence and expertise it wants to share even after brexit. theresa may urged the eu to take a practical approach. this cannot be a time when any of us allow competition between partners, rigid institutional restrictions or deep—seated ideology to inhibit our cooperation and jeopardise the security of our citizens. she's calling for a new security treaty so that the close partnership can continue. failure to agree one would have damaging consequences, she said. we must do whatever is most practical and pragmatic in ensuring our collective security. those who threaten our security would like nothing more than to see us fractured. some listening to this were left bewildered. the brexit decision from the point of view of us inside the eu is extremely regrettable. things would be so much easier if you stayed.

so here comes the question... applause. mrs may pointed out that brexit was a democratic decision politicians should respect. 0ne senior brussels figure seemed to agree. the commission presidentjean—claude junker said the eu wasn't at war with the uk and didn't want to take revenge on the british people. he said the security bridge would be maintained, but you couldn't mix it up with other issues. conservative mps attending the conference here believe the speech is a good starting point for talks. we've got to start getting into the detail of this. one thing we can do is improve our offer around defence and security, and i do think we need to have another look in the uk as to how we prioritise security. so it's a pretty familiar message from theresa may. the uk is leaving the european union but that doesn't mean close cooperation needs to end.

and it's a blunt message, too, saying to eu leaders, don't let your ideology get in the wake of the safety of our citizens. the government hopes today's speech will show its acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. vicki young, bbc news, munich. a court in pakistan has sentenced a man to death for the murder and rape of a six—year—old girl. zainab ansari's body was found on a rubbish dump in the city of kasoor injanuary. 24—year—old imran ali confessed to the killing and to attacks on other young girls. secunder kermani reports. these are the last images of six—year—old zainab alive, being led away by the man who would rape and kill her. her body was found on a rubbish dump five days later. zainab's attacker was 24—year—old imran ali, an acquaintance of herfamily. he was identified on the

basis of dna evidence. after a trial lasting just four days, today he was sentenced to death. today the court has announced the judgement. he has been convicted on four different counts and has been sentenced to death. the discovery of zainab's body led to angry protests in her hometown kasoor. at the trial, her killer admitted to having assaulted or murdered eight other young girls here over the past two years. many believe he could have been stopped sooner. zainab's family, though, welcomed today's verdict. translation: we are satisfied with this verdict of the death sentence, but we also want for him to be punished publicly. the murder of zainab has sparked unprecedented discussion of child abuse, normally a taboo topic in pakistan. but campaigners believe more needs to be done to educate both children and parents about the dangers, and to ensure the authorities properly investigate cases.

the families of these victims now have some semblance ofjustice. but, for many, it may feel too little too late. secunder kermani, bbc news, islamabad. survivors of the shooting at a florida school this week, which left 17 people dead, have been taking part in a rally demanding tighter laws on gun control. protestors in fort lauderdale chanted "no more guns" and attacked politicians. it comes as pressure mounts on the fbi over the agency's failure to act on a tip—off that nikolas cruz. one student who survived the attack took aim at president trump in a speech to protestors. there was only signs that the

florida shooter was erratic. neighbours and classmates knew he was a big problem. we reported him, time and time again. since he was in middle school. it was no surprise to anyone who knew him to hear that he was the shooter. those talking about how we should have not ostracised him, you didn't know this kid. 0k, we did. we know that they are claiming that there are mental health issues, and i am not a psychologist, but we need to pay attention to the fact that this is not just a attention to the fact that this is notjust a mental health issue. he wouldn't have harmed that many stu d e nts wouldn't have harmed that many students with a knife. one of the survivors of the shooting at the school in parklands. two members of the same family, a 15—year—old boy and a 72—year—old man, were killed when the car they were travelling in collided with a train at a level crossing in west sussex. the emergency services were called to barns green near horsham, shortly after half past

eight this morning. no—one on the train was hurt. an earthquake has shaken wales and parts of west england. these lines show the tremor, which has an magnitude of 4.4. the epicentre was around 12 miles outside swansea. premise of the scale are only felt in the uk every 2—3 years. we have spoken to two people who have felt the earthquake. sue bailey who was about 12 miles from the epicentre and james murray. i was outside a shop waiting for my wife to go in. i was nearly done with a toddler, as are scratching janet ellard humpy came over and nicely on the shoulder. i looked around to see if anybody had had any reaction. a lady came out of the shop. it was reassuring to think

i had not gone mad. it felt like a couple of inches. it must have only been millimetres, of course. like they had been off—balance. been millimetres, of course. like they had been off-balance. does that sound familiar to you? they had been off-balance. does that sound familiar to you ?|j they had been off-balance. does that sound familiar to you? i was in my kitchen at home at the time. at the start of it, i saw some birds suddenly fly past the window. they must have been on the patio and they flew out very quickly. and i wondered what had to speak to them. probably in the second later everything on the ceiling started to shake. it was really peculiar. we have spotlight in our kitchen. i could see them shaking. it looks a little bit like you would see shaky video footage or camcorder footage. that was the impression i had. at the same time, there was this rumbling muffled sound, but it wasn't in the house, it was

somewhere distant. i was trying to work out what was happening. none of it make any sense to me. james, what did your toddlers make of it?|j think they were far too interested in the doughnuts i havejust think they were far too interested in the doughnuts i have just bought them, unfortunately. they're not going to realise. we have these every two or three years. i come out in the morning, go on facebook, or people tweeting, and i always miss them. so it was actually quite nice to realise it. and that i wasn't going mad and have actually experienced it. james murray and sue bailey in swansea. the headlines on bbc news: the husband of the murdered mp jo cox resigns from two charities set up in her memory, after acknowledging inappropriate behaviour in the past. henry bolton is ousted as leader of ukip — as the party face its fourth leadership election in less than 18 months. theresa may want european union leaders not to put lives at risk after blocking a security deal after

brexit because of deep—seated ideology. sport now and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. let's begin with great britain's most successful day at a winter olympics. lizzie yarnold became the first british winter 0lympian to successfully defend a title. she's skeleton champion once again. team—mate laura deas took bronze — the first time there have been two british medallists in the same event. izzy atkin won bronze in the slopestyle earlier on saturday, but there was more heartbreak for speed skater elise christie. david 0rnstein reports from pyeongchang. guiding great britain to unprecedented glory, lizzy yarnold and laura deas turning dreams into reality, rewriting the record books. commentator: lizzy yarnold next, the olympic champion, can she make history and win it again? yarnold went into her final slide in second place, but conjured an imperious display, and the fastest time any woman has produced on this track, to enter sporting folklore.

commentator: that is a gold medal winning run, i'm sure of it. so it's gold for lizzy yarnold. she's defended her title and become the most decorated british winter 0lympian in history. she was joined on the podium by team—mate laura deas. the pair rounding off the most successful day their nation has ever seen at a winter games. as yarnold jumped into the crowd to join the celebrations, how did she feel? i feel exhausted! now a back—to—back champion, the 29—year—old couldn't hide her delight. i'm just so relieved that i've done the race, been consistent, and laura and i are on the podium together. for her parents, judith and clive, another moment to savour. from the mixed season that she's had, to come and win the gold medal here today — and we have a bronze medal as well through laura — is absolutely mind—boggling. the success story was started by the youngest member of team gb, 19—year—old izzy atkin

saving her best until last to take bronze in the slopestyle and become britain's first official 0lympic skiing medallist. commentator: great britain's izzy atkin takes a bronze! mum and dad, winnie and mike, overcome with joy. i'm still kind of speechless. i can't... i'm really excited, really happy. i'm stoked with how i skied and also stoked to win the bronze. the day was however tinged with disappointment as elise christie crashed out of the 1500 metres short track speed skating and was later disqualified. commentator: christie has crashed again now in the semifinal! she went to hospital as a precaution but was given the all clear and may yet race in the 1000 metres as she bids to avoid a repeat of her nightmare in sochi four years ago. announcer: bronze medallist for great britain!

but that will do little to dampen the british euphoria as they delivered on snow and ice a super saturday to live long in the memory. david 0rnstein, bbc news, in pyeongchang. romelu lukaku scored twice as manchester united beat fellow premier league side huddersfield to progress to the fa cup quarter—finals. paul pogba was left out by mourinho. lukaku didn't seem to miss his good friend. he found the net — just three minutes in. and united thought they'd gone two ahead just before half time. juan mata scoring, only for var to have a big impact on another game. the goal strangely chalked off for offside when he seemed to be on—side but they got their second after the break. lukaku again. southampton made it through to the last eight with a 2—1 win at west bromwich albion, this goal from dusan tadic proved to be the winner. it follows an eventful week for west brom, afterfour of their players broke a curfew

and reportedly stole a taxi while in spain for warm weather training. well, of course it's been difficult, but, you know... in terms of the experience on the pitch and the attitude and the reaction to that, i was pleased with because it was a difficult day for the players as well, of course. and, slightly u nfortu nate really to well, of course. and, slightly unfortunate really to be undercut. brighton are through to the next round after a 3—1win over coventry city. jurgen locadia with the seagulls opener — a goal on his debut after completing a 14 million pound move from psv eindhoven in january. defender connor goldson made it 2—0 by half time and leonardo ulloa headed in the third just after the hour mark. brighton are through to their first quater—final since 1986. the draw has taken place for the quarterfinals.

sheffield wednesday and swansea still both in it after their 0—0 draw earlier, they will play rochdale or spurs who play theirfifth round match tmrw. manchester united are at home to brighton. leicester play chelsea and wigan or man city who play on monday, will play southampton. just to keep you updated, there has been some boxing news, george groves has successfully defended his super middleweight title. he beat chris you backjunior on points. that's all the sport for now. a new scanning system has revealed a painting underneath picasso's picture — "a crouching woman". the picture underneath is of the catalan landscape probably painted by one of his assistants. it seems that picasso turned it 90 degrees and used the shape of the landscape to create the woman's crouching pose. the discovery has been unveiled today at an international science conference in austin texas from where our science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. picasso's crouching woman —

worth millions. a painting from his blue period. but there's more to it than meets the eye. the conservators at the gallery analysed it with a new type of scanner, and this is what they discovered. underneath it is a painting of the barcelona landscape by a fellow artist. but turn it 90 degrees and bring back the crouching woman, and you can see that picasso has used the landscape as the basis of his painting. it helps date the painting, it helps determine where the painting was made. but it also gives us a sense of the artist with whom a particular painter was engaging. and i think these insights do help ask us new and more interesting and more scientifically accurate questions. the contour of the hills in the background becomes the crouching woman's back, and she takes on the shape and form of the catalan countryside.

until now, only the wealthiest galleries could afford to scan, and even then, it was only for great works of art. but the new system is cheaper and portable, and so can be used by anyone to find the secrets behind any painting they want. here at the harry ransom centre, the curator has questions about this portrait of the american composer, george gershwin. in particular, whether a friend in the front row was painted out and seated further back because he fell out of favour. this figure here is 0scar levant, who was a friend of george gershwin, but also a rival. so stories have circulated for years that perhaps he, as the only recognisable figure in the second row, was perhaps moved — demoted, as it were — from appearing in the first row. so that is one of the questions we can potentially find out with this technology. can i take a look? tracy has asked the team that developed the scanning system

to help her answer that question. they scan each stroke of the brush, millimetre by millimetre. it's a collaboration that the team wants to extend to more galleries. many of these paintings are waiting to tell their secrets, so with the x—ray flourescent spectrometer, we can help them talk to us more. the team hopes the widespread use of their scanners will increase our understanding of artists, their thought processes and the way they worked. now it's time for the weather. quiet at the moment. a lovely day today. sunshine for many of us but with clear skies. a touch frosty in 12 places. this is one of many lovely pictures of the sun going down earlier on today but those temperatures have been dropping.

coming in from the atlantic, all of this cloud coming in which will bring a different complexion to the weather for tomorrow. some of the cloud has already arrived at a south—west of england and wales, seeing a few showers around here. some cloud coming into northern ireland and perhaps the midlands. patchy fog ahead of that especially but the vale of york weather isn't any winter to stir things up. also some frost as well, more likely scotland, the eastern side of england where there will be clearer skies long—off. mild air coming in over the next 24 hours. two weather fronts on the scene. this is the first one that will bring rain and drizzle into the west, especially in the afternoon. it is in between those two fronts that we have this envelope of mild air, south—westerly winds and the milder air will tra nsfer across winds and the milder air will transfer across the uk. chilli head of it and they will be fog around in the morning, slowly lifting. best of the morning, slowly lifting. best of the sunshine probably the north—eastern scotland, a nice day. 0n the whole, much more cloud around through the day and it will thicken

up through the day and it will thicken up in the west, especially in northern ireland, bringing outbreaks of rain, chiefly in the afternoon. mild, ten or 11 degrees. it will be brighter after the cool stuff in the north—east. through the evening and overnight, with the rain and drizzle pushing eastwards, accompanied by some misty, murky weather over the hills. it will be a much more mild night on sunday night, no more frost on monday morning but quite a drab affair down the side of scotland, eastern england, rail, —— rain, drizzle. there will be rain coming back into northern ireland. the two bands of rain joining forces. they will squeeze away any of the milder airand instead it will squeeze away any of the milder air and instead it will get a little bit colder as we have further into the week ahead. now, we look at the story for tuesday. quite wet picture a cross story for tuesday. quite wet picture a cross eastern parts of england and perhaps into the midlands. the rain tending to peter out through the day. it will brighten up and we get sunshine in scotland and northern ireland. the temperature is still on

the high side but turning cooler under the cloud and rein in eastern parts of england. it is a downward trend. —— rain. aftera mild start, it will turn colder. we may even find easterly winds for a time but on the whole, the winds will become light, high pressure building in, very little rain around the talk but if we broke the cloud at night, more frost. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, first the headlines. the husband of the murdered mp jo cox resigns from two charities set up in her memory, after admitting to inappropriate behaviour in the past. members of ukip have voted overwhelmingly to sack their leader, henry bolton, after less than six months in the job. the party now faces its fourth leadership election in less than 18 months. theresa may warns european union leaders not to put lives at risk by blocking a security deal after brexit. the president of the european commission confirmed his desire to maintain a security bridge between the two.
