rally, for the rally, protesters are already taking to the shrieks. in fort lauderdale, close to the biggest us issued in for some years, it many spoke. but three words rang out. shame on you! to every politician is taking pollack —— taking donations on the nra, shame oi'i taking donations on the nra, shame on you. lexmark they will march on washington calling for tighter gun control, they hope there will be other protest in other cities on the same day. students organising so they want the latest attack to be a turning point. what i am looking for is reasonable change within the united states congress and bills that are passed if i get active

school because this is not the time for inaction and debate, this is the time for discussion and for all people and americans to come together as americans love and compassion. this event happened on valentine's day, so many people lost of 1's. valentine's day, so many people lost of is. our community and our nation have taken too many bullets to the heart and now it is time to stand up. last year, donald trump said he would infringe on the rights to bear arms. he has blamed democrats for not acting when they had congress during the legislation. he was criticised. he has met people affected by the shooting and has also rebuked the fbi after the organisation admitted it failed to act on a tipoff about the suspect, nikolas cruz. cnn has invited the president to an event with the survivors on wednesday. there is school shootings in america and outrage that follows, the question is whether that will now turn into something else. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has launched a scathing attack on iran, calling it the ‘greatest threat to our world'. in a speech in munich he accused

the iranians of seeking to dominate the middle east through terror, and warned that israel would act if tehran tested its resolve. iran's foreign minister dismissed the speech as not worthy of a response. lyse doucet reports. in a volatile middle east, hostility between the islamic republic and israel has been a dangerous faultline. israel views iran as it's greatest enemy, denouncing it's landmark nuclear deal with world powers. now it's stand—off runs along israel's border with syria, where iran holds growing sway. prime minister netanyahu came to munich to use this preeminent security conference as his stage. no doubt mr zarif will brazenly deny iran's nefarious

involvement in syria. iran also denies that it committed an act of aggression against israel last week that it sent a drone into our airspace to threaten our people. well, here is a piece of that iranian drone, or what is left of it after we shot it down. these were the first images of the drone iran is accused of sending into israeli airspace last week. israeli jets retaliated. targeting iranian assets in syria for the first time. but syrian fire brought down an israeli warplane, the first time in decades its combat aircraft was shot down by enemy fire. today when iran's foreign minister took to the stage in munich, he didn't mention the israeli leader by name. you were the audience for a cartoonist circus. and then he fired back with barbs of his own. israel uses aggression as a policy against its neighbours and once somebody — the syrians have the guts to down one of its planes,

it is as if a disaster has happened. this disaster does mark a dangerous new turn in syria's destructive conflict and tensions have been multiplying in recent weeks. russia, the united states and turkey all have their own forces on the ground, all fighting on different frontlines. even before this dramatic war of words, this security conference was overshadowed by fears there could be an all—out war in the middle east, drawing in powerful players like israel and iran. no one wants to see a confrontation, but the risks are clearly great and growing. lyse doucet, bbc news, munich. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. rescue teams in western iran searching for a passenger plane which disappeared with more than 60 people on board, have called off for their search

for the night because of heavy snow. families have been gathering at a mosque close to the airport to get information about their loved ones. it's feared there are no survivors. the plane went down in the zagros mountains during a flight from the capital tehran to the southwestern city of yasuj. the islamic state group says it was behind the killing of five people at a church in the russian republic of dagestan. an attacker opened fire with a hunting rifle on worshippers as they were leaving a christian orthodox ceremony in the town of kizlyar. he was shot dead shortly afterwards by the security forces. streets around one of the most sacred sites for tibetan buddhism have been reopened to pilgrims after a blaze broke out on saturday evening. chinese state media said the fire injokhang temple, was soon put out. however, tibetans living abroad said that photos and posts about the blaze were quickly being censored. laura westbrook reports. smoke fills the sky at one of the

most holy places in tibet. this footage posted online shows the roof of the jokhang monastery footage posted online shows the roof of thejokhang monastery in flames. chinese state media said no one was hurt and the temple in lhasa has now been reopened. but it is not known how much damage this thousand —year—old monastery has suffered. the complex covers more than six acres, official reports did not specify which part of the temple was damaged by the fire. that is because beijing maintains tight control of tibet. as the news of the fire spread on chinese social media, there were reports photos were quickly being taken down by authorities. you would think that this would be an issue where they would rush to show people, to reassure them that the temple has not been badly damaged. but there is

almost no news coming out of all in the last four hours. it is probably not the fault of the chinese, probably the flames spread from another building nearby. but the fa ct another building nearby. but the fact that they were not able to put it out quickly is damaging for the chinese. it is unfortunate, it will set back relations again especially since nobody knows what has been damaged and what has survived. tibetan buddhists consider this to be their most sacred sites, travelling to worship at the border. —— buddah. a memorial service for zimbabwe's opposition leader, morgan tsvangirai has been held in the capital harare, four days after he died from cancer. politicians from across the political divide gathered at the church to pay tribute alongside supporters wearing the red colours of his party, the movement for democratic change. his body was flown back from south africa, where he'd been receiving treatment. the bbc‘s shingai nyoka has been watching events in harare. on this overcast day,

hundreds of opposition supporters, leaders from across the political divide, as well as diplomats and representatives from some african countries have gathered here to bid farewell to morgan tsvangirai. the speakers that were in this church service remembered his contribution to democracy in this country. they say that he is an icon that should be honoured, but there has also been reference to the fact that in his death his supporters should now unite behind one litre. you know that there has been disputes about who the rightful successor is to morgan tsvangirai amongst the three vice presidents and so the speakers are saying that they should use his death to unite. ethiopian is without

a prime minister, who resigned after two years of opposition protest. a state of emergency was declared on friday, banning protests and imposing restrictions on freedom of expression. we are joined imposing restrictions on freedom of expression. we arejoined by imposing restrictions on freedom of expression. we are joined by muhamed fatta h, expression. we are joined by muhamed fattah, a former senior analyst. what happens next for ethiopian? —— what happens next for ethiopia? the ruling party has to select another prime minister over the next couple of weeks, there has been discussion about who would take the lead. i think the change that happened, especially the resignation of the prime minister and the institution of a state of emergency is something that could put the

country to recover or put it in more chaos. what happens next will depend on if the next prime minister follows in the steps of hailemariam deslagen, who was making a lot of concessions to the opposition. is the new government or administration likely to do the same or will they clamp down on protests and restrict freedoms once again?” clamp down on protests and restrict freedoms once again? i think it will most likely be the latter. u nfortu nately most likely be the latter. unfortunately the government, the ruling party will see the overture was that the prime minister made as not working and the protests still went on, despite release of political prisoners. they may take a more hardline approach and i think the state of emergency is one of the signs that that may be the case that they may be taking a more harsher approach and likely a military security operations against the

protesters. how sustainable is this? you have the majority in terms of the population in terms of political appointments and the military, they feel marginalised. house is then able to track how sustainable is this policy of marginalising them? it is not sustainable. there is a large published in africa and this community is the largest. this is nothing —— this is not something that the country can sustain. the ruling class and the working class. a must there is pressure to be more working with the community ‘s and making sure that there is more power—sharing, i think that this one party, one system rule will continue and continue to use security forces to keep them in the marginalised communities. the protests are going

and will continue if the security issues there escalates. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: the 60 robert epileptic boy whose pa rents the 60 robert epileptic boy whose parents believe can be helped by cannabis treatment which is illegal in the uk. —— the six—year—old epileptic boy. nine years and 15,000 deaths after going into afghanistan, the last soviet troops were finally coming home. the withdrawal completed in good order, but the army defeated in the task it had been sent to perform. malcolm was murdered. that has a terrible effect on the morality of the people. i'm terrified of the repercussions in the streets. one wonders who is next. as the airlift got under

way, there was no letup in the eruption itself. lava streams from a vent low in the crater flowed down to the sea on the east of the island — away from the town for the time being, but it could start flowing again at any time. the russians heralded their new generation space station with a spectacular night launch. they called it mir, the russian for peace. they are now having doping problems. absolutely. many russian athletes we re absolutely. many russian athletes were not able to come here and those who are participating are doing the same as individuals are technically. any medal they winners under the olympic flag with the olympic anthem played. however we have an athlete he who was said to have used this banned substance. some may wonder why mighta banned substance. some may wonder why might a curling athlete be using a banned substance. how could that

help? apparently, meldonium is a drug that can calm you answer your heart rate down and help with the nerves. something that requires that concentration and a steady hand, a substance like this could help an athlete, one who competes in curling. you can see why someone may wa nt to curling. you can see why someone may want to use it. of course he has only failed the a sample test and we are waiting for the b sample test results later today. i suppose it is a positive for the local testing authorities because i guess it is good when you catch someone who is alleged to be doping. that is right. the winter olympics was on trial, if you like, and it looks like the koreans leading the team would be proud that they have caught this athlete and that the international olympic committee will also be saying that this shows we are getting tough on drug use. mind you, there has already been an earlier japanese athlete who was found to

have used a substance which is thought to be a masking agent. that is what you would use to prevent people from seeing that you are using performance enhancing substances. we had at least two athletes at this stage with a cloud over them in terms of drug use. in terms of the testers, they would say thatis terms of the testers, they would say that is a big tick in terms of their performance. thank you for that. here in the uk the government has said it can't issue a medical cannabis licence for a six—year—old epileptic chid — despite calls from his family and a group of mps. alfie dingley, who's from warwickshire in central england, regularly suffers violent seizures. a cannabis based treatment he received in the netherlands improved his condition — but it's illegal in the uk. charlotte gallagher has the story. six—year—old alfie dingley has a rare form of epilepsy and suffers up to 30 violent seizures every day. to go through that once

would be traumatising, but we're going through it sometimes every 7—10 days, and it's just absolutely horrendous. last september, the family moved to the netherlands so alfie could be prescribed medical cannabis oil. his parents say he went 2a days without having a seizure. they've now moved back to the uk, but cannabis oil is illegal in britain, so they want the home secretary amber rudd to give alfie a license to use it. it is thought this drug works with nerve receptors in the brain to help control the seizures. but the home office has ruled it out. they say... a group of mps want the home secretary to make an exception for alfie.

if we can find a way for her around the regulations that exist, and we believe that we can, she can issue a license to make sure that alfie can get this medicine. alfie's family have vowed to continue their battle, saying "you've got to fight, for your kids and we want to know that we've done everything we can". charlotte gallagher, bbc news. one of burkina faso's best known film directors, idrissa ouedraogo, has died following a stroke. he was 64. mr ouedraogo was one of a group of film makers who helped put his country at the centre of african cinema. perhaps his most famous film work was the 1989 film yaaba. the best of british film—making talent has been honoured at the baftas, with many of the stars using the spotlight to highlight the sexual harassment scandal which has gripped the industry in recent months. the big winner of the night was three billboards outside ebbing, missouri which won in five categories, while gary oldman was named best actorfor his

portrayal of winston churchill in darkest hour. here's our arts editor will gompertz. his report contains some flash photography. the baftas 2018. part award ceremony, part platform for protest. the wear something black dress code represents a collective stand against harassment and inequality in the workplace. there is definitely a different feel to the baftas this year. people are still coming to celebrate filmmaking at its finest but it is a sombre and serious mood with the time's up campaign and it does change the emphasis of the awards. it is notjust a case of who will win what, but who will say what. who will capture the mood and spirit of these times as oprah winfrey did at the golden globes? the answer turned out to be the best actress winner, frances mcdormand, who gave a mischievous, witty, potent acceptance speech. i have a little trouble

with compliance. laughter. but i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. i also want to say that i appreciate a well—organised act of civil disobedience. power to the people. she won for playing a furious and grieveing mother in three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. start up a database, put every baby boy on it. as soon as he done something wrong, cross—reference it and make 100% certain it was a correct match, and then kill him. the american—set british film was a big winner with five awards, including best supporting actor for sam rockwell. lam humbled. best original screenplay for the film's london—born irish

director, martin mcdonagh. and the top award. what we are most proud of about this film, especially in this time's up year is that it is a film about a woman who refuses to take any ———— any more. played by a woman who has always refused to take any ————. and then there was the leading actor award, complete with a dig at last year's oscars. the winner is frances mcdormand... nah, just kidding. the bafta goes to gary oldman. he won for this portrayal of winston churchill in the film darkest hour. you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth. so grateful for this incredible honour. thank you. allison janney won best supporting actress for playing the hard—bitten mother in i, tonya. how old are you? she's a soft 4.

guillermo del toro won best director for his film the shape of water on what was a slightly disappointing night for this hotly tipped movie. perhaps it will be a different story at the oscars in a fortnight‘s time. and before we go, let's take a look at these pictures. they show the incredible scenery of the changbai mountains in northeast china'sjilin province, which amazes thousands of tourists every winter. as you can see, the scene is shrouded in white steam rising from dozens of hot springs, making visitors feel like they're immersed in a wonderland. to keep the place looking special, the authorities set a maximum daily limit of 5,000 visitors.

that does sound like a lot of people but it is absolutely beautiful and makes sense to limit. a reminder of our top story: survivors of the florida school shooting are organising a national march on washington to demand tighter restrictions on gun ownership. they say they're determined that the shooting will be a turning point in the us national debate on guns. good morning. it looks like the weather pattern and weather type will change significantly over the week ahead. we have had a strong jetstream propagating across the atlantic with fluctuations between sunshine and it's noted that everything slows down over the next few days, the jet stream will weaken

and get more undulations. and it is under one of those that we induce this area of high pressure to build in the middle of next week. something we've not had much of in the past few weeks. sunshine around on sunday. we have some in the high ground across parts of wales and the south—eastern. anglia got sunshine as well as north—east scotland though for many of us, cloud rolled in and lot of cloud at the moment so no frost. two weather fronts on the scene as well, the first one bringing most of the current rain and drizzle. in between the two we have a pocket of mild air. sunshine in the west this time that will boost the temperature. a change of fortune on monday. eastern scotland and eastern england are drab and dreary with a lot of cloud, rain and drizzle. dry and bright with a little sunshine especially in coastal areas and in northern ireland.

some weather system threatened the coming from the north—west and bring back the sort of weather that we have been seen but they will be held at bay by the blocking area of high pressure could thursday and friday will still be drier. temperatures reaching perhaps 13 degrees at the beginning of the week and that mild start will turn chilly, particularly at night but it is becoming dry. this is bbc news, the headlines: survivors of the florida school shooting are organising a national march on washington to demand tighter restrictions on gun ownership. they say they're determined that the shooting in which 17 people died will be a turning point in the us national debate on guns. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has launched a scathing attack on iran, calling it the ‘greatest threat to our world'. in a speech in munich, he accused the iranians of seeking to dominate the middle east through terror, and warned that israel would act if tehran
