trained in england over the next four years, but there are warnings of the extent of current staff shortages. but there are warnings of the extent and tech companies versus journalism in the digital age. we report from google‘s headquarters in silicon valley. good evening. world cricket's governing body says the sport needs to take a hard look at itself, after the ball tampering scandal that's engulfed the australian team. after the ball tampering scandal the captain, steve smith, has been banned from playing in the final test match in south africa after he admitted knowing about a plan for a team—mate to manipulate the ball in a way that is against the rules of the game. australia's prime minister malcolm turnbull has said he's shocked and disappointed,

and there are still questions for the wider leadership of the team. and there are still questions for our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. commentator: listen to the crowd... andy swiss reports. boos andy swiss reports. in the eye of a cricketing storm, steve smith, booed onto the field in cape town, the world's best batsman given one of its worst receptions after a scandal which has shocked a sport and shamed a nation. smith had orchestrated a plan to cheat by getting his team—mate cameron bancroft to tamper with the ball using sticky tape and make it harder to bat against. with the ball using sticky tape but they were caught on camera and they confessed, the resulting controversy leaving a country which defines itself by cricket struggling for answers right to the very top. 0ur cricketers are role models, and cricket is synonymous with fair play. models, and cricket how can our team be engaged in cheating like this? and the fallout has been swift. in cheating like this?

after agreeing to stand down as captain for the rest of this match, smith has now been suspended for the next one, the cricket authorities saying his actions were clearly contrary to the spirit of the game. were clearly contrary to the spirit many were clearly contrary to the spirit believe he is cycl matter many believe he is cycling is a matter of time. i think he probably has no way out of this. his reputation has dived completely, he was the guy who won the ashes for australia, he was absolutely immovable, people calling him the best test batsman since don bradman. well, his reputation has collapsed almost overnight. there are further questions for coach darren lehman over whether he knew anything, and for bancroft, who has been fined for his involvement. and for bancroft, who has been fined perhaps most of all for the culture of australian cricket. their aggressive approach recently has won them few friends, as bancroft also discovered, booed back to the pavilion, sympathy is in short supply.

booed back to the pavilion, australia has been taking this high and mighty line recently, saying you can't cross this line and we're the purveyors ofjustice on a cricket field. and we're the purveyors and i know that within cricket that has wound a lot of people up, because they know that's australia get into the sledging and they will be quite glad that this has happened to them. from that this has happened to them. the fans watching was from the fans watching today there was only anger and disappointment. the problem is they've really crossed the line now and i think there will be repercussions. the international game, i think it's bad for the country, bad for the nation, bad for the world of cricket. and particularly bad for smith, who was out for just seven as australia were duly slashed. after losing this match both he and his team now face a far bigger challenge, to save their reputation. 0ur sports correspondent richard conway is here. what richard conway is here. would you say this means, richard, what would you say this means, richard, for australia and world

cricket? bold tampering has gone on in the past and no doubt will happen in the past and no doubt will happen in the future but what makes this egregious, it was caught on camera but it was two senior team members, the captain and vice captain, sending out an inexperienced player to cheat. questions for cricket australia, how far up the disco, did darren lehmann know about it? the international cricket council says cricket need to have a hard look at itself —— how far up did this go? this goes against the spirit of the game, the ethos of their play. cricket australia facing a crisis. the captain and vice captain's positions look untenable. the wider game will hope that they can stem the loss of trust and integrity by taking that decisive action. this is a dark day for cricket, a very dark day for australian sport but they'll have to be hoping that by taking

action sooner rather than later, they can stem any further problems from what has been a very damaging episode in the sport's history. thank you. caused by what he calls "pockets of anti—semitism" in the labour party. of anti—semitism" in a statement, the labour leader said he would be meeting representatives of the jewish community this week. a letter from two prominentjewish groups, just released, has accused mr corbyn of ignoring the community's concerns. 0ur political correspondent, iain watson, is in westminster. give iain watson, is in westminster. us a sense of the t what give us a sense of the detail of what is said in the letter. yes, we have the letter here, released a few minutes ago by the board of deputies of the british leadership council, effectively accusing jeremy corbyn of issuing empty statements against anti—semitism but doing nothing to address it and more than that, that he himself has sided with

anti—semites and they are planning to demonstrate at westminster tomorrow. whatjeremy corbyn has donein tomorrow. whatjeremy corbyn has done in response isn't what he's done in response isn't what he's donein done in response isn't what he's done in the past, he hasn't simply said he regrets anti—semitism or that he opposes it, instead we are getting an apology. he says he is sincerely sorry for the pain that anti—semitism has caused in what he calls pockets of the labour party and he is committed to stamping it out. this comes after criticism from some of his own mps. a facebook post from jeremy corbyn in 2012 came to light last week. he appeared to oppose the taking down of an offensive mural. he has since said he should have looked closer at the image, which was anti—semitic and disturbing. talking to his mps, welcoming the response, some worried that it's too little, too late. thank you. former brexit campaigner, shahmir sanni, says he will present evidence to mps tomorrow which he claims shows the vote leave group broke election laws in the run—up to

the referendum in 2016. laws in the run—up to he says vote leave got around spending limits by channelling funds through another pro—brexit group. spending limits by channelling funds both organisations strongly deny any wrongdoing, but labour has called for the allegations to be investigated. for the allegations thousands of protesters have been on the streets of the spanish city of barcelona to demonstrate against the arrest of catalonia's ousted leader, carles puigdemont. against the arrest of catalonia's he is wanted in spain on charges of sedition and rebellion, and was detained in germany today after spending five months in self—imposed exile. after spending five months damien mcguinness reports from berlin. in barcelona thousands of people took to the streets in support of former catalan leader, carles puigdemont. they are calling for germany not to extradite him back to spain, where, according to pro—separatist politicians, he would not get a fair trial. translation:

this prosecution has no basis, there has never been violence. we are still the revolution of smiles. for now, mr puigdemont is being held in this prison and tomorrow he will appear before a german judge who will decide whether he will remain in custody while the exhibition order is being processed. berlin backs madrid boss max —— backs madrid's stance that it would be illegal for catalonian to back away unilaterally. in spain there is no more democracy because they put their political opponents in jail, their political opponents in jail, the elected people are put in jail. that's a dictatorship. carles puigdemont became the leader of catalonian in 2016 and let the referendum campaign a year later. since then he's been living in self—imposed exile in belgium. his

arrest reignites tensions in catalonian, where most of the independence leaders are now facing charges. that has two a certain extent undermine the independence movement but also energised many of those who support it. and the row has now moved here to germany because it will be german courts that decide whether catalan‘s former leader will now be released or initially held in detention here in germany or extradited back to spain to face trial there. at least 37 people, including children, are reported to have been killed in a fire at a shopping mall in the siberian city of kemerovo. at a shopping mall in russian media say dozens more are missing. the blaze is believed to have started on the fourth floor of the complex which contains cinemas, restaurants and shops. another 3,000 training places for midwives in england will be made

available over the next four years — in what the government says is the "largest ever" boost to nhs midwives and maternity staff. the royal college of midwives has welcomed the new training places but says they'll only address part of the problem because of the shortage of midwives right now. of the problem because of our health editor hugh pym reports. of the problem because of providing most women with care from the same midwives throughout their pregnancy, labour and birth is the aim of the plan for england announced today. labour and birth is the aim of the it's hoped this will reduce the chances of miscarriages and premature births. the chances of miscarriages to try to achieve it, ministers say there will be a boost to the number of training places for new midwives and support staff. health unions have welcomed it but warned it will take time. the benefits of those extra midwives is not going to be seen until four years hence and then the years after, so there's pressures in the service at the moment, which need to be addressed. here's how the numbers look right now. there were just over 22,500 midwives

in post in england in 2017. the royal college of midwives estimates there's a shortfall of around 3,500. midwives estimates there's the new plan will create an extra 650 midwifery training places next year. an extra 650 midwifery that will be followed by 1,000 new places in each of the three subsequent years. by 1,000 new places in each but like nurses in england, the students will now have to pay tuition fees. the students will now have the government knows that recruitment and retention in the nhs is a problem, one reason why it recently announced a 6.5% pay deal over three years for many staff in england. there's pressure on ministers to find more money to put into front—line services. to find more money to put the idea of a dedicated nhs tax has been floated, and it wasn't ruled out today. tax has been floated, if you ask the public about the nhs, they're very clear they would like to see more money going to the nhs, they would be prepared to see some of their own taxes going into the nhs. but they are very clear

they want to know that money is actually going into the nhs and social care system, and they want to know that the nhs is going to reform. labour argues there is a need for an immediate cash injection with the nhs under severe pressure. for an immediate cash injection the political debate on health and social care funding is certainly gathering pace. and social care funding and hugh is outside the department of health now. on the department of health now. the broad point abi funding, on the broad point about nhs funding, what is your sense about whether there might be something coming sooner rather than later? well at some stage the government needs to set out its plans for spending up until 2022 including health, the question is, when? there is an idea in government that the good time is this summer with the 70th birthday of the nhs. and a bold statement. jeremy hunt, the health and social care secretary, wants to see a long time 10—yearfunding

plan, giving certainty to the service and he wants an increase in the money available. he hasn't ruled out the idea of a dedicated nhs tax, may be refocused from national insurance. he's also in charge of social care and there is an important policy statement to make there. foreign secretary by the johnson —— boris johnson there. foreign secretary by the johnson —— borisjohnson is behind the idea of a brexit dividend. chancellor philip hammond has said he wants to see at the end of the year to see how the public finances are faring before making any big decisions. a vigorous debate is being held in cabinet. on the front line of this service, among workers, a belief that something must be done soon, a significant increase, with the pressures of winter not over and hospitals struggling to find beds, even now. thank you. a 14—year—old girl has been seriously hurt after a group of children were run down by a car in glasgow. police say the car, with two men in it, was driven deliberately at the youngsters in castlemilk yesterday afternoon,

and the attack is being treated as attempted murder. the girl is in a stable condition in hospital. tributes have been paid tojose abreu, the mastermind behind venezuela's el sistema youth orchestras, who has died. he founded the globally acclaimed el sistema in 1975. it aimed to combat poverty by providing free musical education to children in venezuela's poor neighbourhoods. the network expanded to 300 choirs and orchestras, receiving numerous international awards and inspiring similar schemes around the world. awards and inspiring similar venezuela has announced three days of national mourning for "maestro abreu", who died on saturday aged 78. in a moment we'll have special report from google in silicon valley. special report from google but first, with all the sport,

here's lizzi greenwood—hughes at the bbc sport centre. here's lizzi greenwood—hughes good evening. britain's lewis hamilton had to settle for second place in formula one's season opening australian grand prix. one's season opening he was beaten by sebastien vettel after a timing miscalculation allowed the german driver to overtake him. nick parrot reports. driver to overtake him. for the fifth year in a row, lewis hamilton started from pole in melbourne, but he has only won twice at albert park. that statistic looked set to improve as he opened up a three—second lead over the two ferraris. as he opened up a three—second lead the only drama was unfolding behind him. the highly—rated max verstappen making an uncharacteristic mistake and grosjean was forced to retire. making an uncharacteristic mistake the field had to slow while romain grosjean's car was removed and vettel took the opportunity to stop for a fresh tyres. the opportunity to stop his the opportunity to stop ferrari team returned him i track his ferrari team returned him to the track ahead of metal. radio: why didn't you tell me vettel was in the pits? we thought we were safe but there's

obviously something wrong. with overtaking extremely difficult, vettel claimed a victory that few expected. vettel claimed a victory that today, vettel claimed a victory that ferrari did a betterjol we today, ferrari did a betterjob but we still have great pace, i was able to apply some pressure at the end. the german won the first race last season but could not win the title. hamilton season but could not win the title. will be hoping ti repeats hamilton will be hoping that history repeats itself this season. while the ball tampering scandal dominates cricket's headlines, england captainjoe root‘s focus is on trying to avoid defeat in the opening test against new zealand. root made a half century before being caught with the last ball on day four in auckland. being caught with the last ball his side will start the final day in a few hours' time, 237 runs behind, with seven wickets remaining, and needing to bat out the whole day to rescue a draw. in contrast, england's women are flying, with another big win in their twenty20 tri series. are flying, with another big win they beat india with a record breaking run chase, to win

by seven wickets in mumbai. breaking run chase, to win one of wales' most successful rugby union players, adam jones, is retiring at the end of the season. the 37—year—old prop's international career included three grand slams with wales and two lions tours. career included three grand slams he's currently with harlequins as a player—coach. that's it, but there's more on the bbc sport website including news of britain'sjo konta in fine form at the miami open. back to you, mishal. form at the miami open. after a week in which the pressure on facebook affected shares in other tech giants too — google has put more money towards its collaboration with the news industry — including trying to combat misinformation and fake news. its dominance of online advertising revenue has put many news organisations under pressure — but it says collaborating with them is the key to the future. but it says collaborating with them our media editor amol rajan reports from inside the google campus in silicon valley. from inside the google for the past decade, the news business has had

a fractious relationship with the internet. many journalists accuse technology firms of having a free ride at their expense. firms of having a free while thousands of reporters have lost theirjobs and publications closed as the old business model collapsed, google has grown dizzyingly rich. collapsed, google has many news providers today think of themselves as being at conflict with google. of themselves as being they say this company is gobbling up precious advertising revenues and dominates the means of distribution. but here at google's headquarters, they see things rather differently. they say the open web has democratised news and information, making it near—universally available. and that that's a good thing for all of us. at the top of the company there is frustration at being lumped together with facebook and cast as an enemy of media. on the contrary, senior executives argue, while facebook pulls back from the news business, google wants to make friends. what we tell publishers is can build a service that is good for your users and that will be good for the web.

if you do that, that will end up correlating with all of the signals we develop, not just today, but for the future. hey, good to see you again. not just today, but for the future. crucially, google's official position is that qualityjournalism costs. official position is that is it the view of google that information should be free? no, it should be accessible and it should be as readily accessible as we can make it but obviously it costs money to produce content. so there have to be the appropriate financial underpinnings to support that. the appropriate financial qualityjournalism is hard, it's expensive, particularly if you're doing in—depth investigative reporting, so it needs to be sustained. investigative reporting, the old mantra that content must be free saw advertising as the principal source of revenue but as spotify and netflix have shown in their fields too, audiences will pay for content if it's unique, personalised and good enough. the chief executive of the new york times company, who has championed paid content online, welcomes support with subscriptions but wants google to do more.

a lot of the news that is going to be consumed on their platform is free to use. going to be consumed both they and we need to find a way of getting some of the value which is expressed in advertising potential, again flowing back into the production of high quality journalism. and that's the next thing we want to talk to them about. good morning, everybody. we want to talk to them about. the global news initiative launched in new york this week consolidates existing efforts. in new york this week google's search algorithm will now go further in prioritising high—quality news when a story breaks. the compa ny‘s motivation could be moral. but there is money at stake too. could be moral. we're really looking forward to the feedback we're getting from the new york times, from mark thompson, from so many other players because this initiative isn't something we just created ourselves. initiative isn't something it was a very close collaboration with dozens and dozens if not hundreds of publishers across the world. some publishers feel they are being offered morsels when google has stolen their lunch. they are being offered morsels but in that phrase beloved of american journalists,

google is certainly reaching out to a news industry that could do with a little help. to a news industry that amol rajan, bbc news. to a news industry that that's all from me. to a news industry that stay with us on bbc one. to a news industry that it's time for the news where you are. hello. this is bbc news. the former catalan president, carles puigdemont, will appear before a judge tomorrow following his arrest in germany. he is wanted in spain for sedition and rebellion. meanwhile, thousands of people have been protesting in barcelona against his arrest. mr puigdemont had fled to belgium after catalonia's disputed independence referendum last october. earlier i spoke to journalist anna llado ferrer, who was at some of tonight's demonstrations in barcelona. she told me the extradition bid is one of a series of setbacks for the independence movement. well, it has a big impact, because this week there was a session to

vote the next president, the next cata la n vote the next president, the next catalan president, but instead, because of the division of the pro—independence parties, and on the other side they have this big problem with puigdemont, who has been detained in germany, and they are concerned because they don't know what will happen with the president of catalonia, and who will be the next president, because the parliament should choose a president but for two months and, if they don't choose a president, we will have elections in catalonia, and they are very concerned with the situation. on the other side, article 155 of the spanish constitution is still in catalonia, an article suspending catalonia's self—government, so they reported ca rles self—government, so they reported carles puigdemont from the german

authorities, and that is why they are here by the german consulate. tributes have been paid to singer lys assia, the first winner of the eurovision song contest, who died yesterday. she was 94. our reporter noel phillips takes a look back at her life. it's 1956. the year that lys assia became the first ever winner of the eurovision song contest. across decades, she was an inspiration, paving the way for generations of contestants. including bucks fizz, who won the contest in 1981 with making your mind up. abba in 1974 with waterloo, which became an international hit across the world. a life dedicated to eurovision, assia was born in 192a and started her career as a dancer. hello, i think this is only fitting, it's only fitting you wear this a eurovision icon, she returned

to the show‘s 60th anniversary and was crowned as the queen of eurovision in 2015. when i started, it was 60 years ago, we had seven countries only, in lugano, switzerland. nobody knew what would happen. an ambassador to the singing contest, at the age of 87 she returned to eurovision, but this time without success. fans have been paying tribute to the singer, who turned 94 earlier this month, including the show‘s producer, who says she will be missed. lys assia's death marks the end of an era in eurovision history, one which she helped define. noel phillips, bbc news. time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello. i think the weekend

eventually got there for many of us. certainly, many more seeing the dryer, brighter prospect through the bulk of sunday. it wasn'tjust dryer, brighter prospect through the bulk of sunday. it wasn't just felt that got the best of it but, having said that, there had to be an exception in the south—eastern quarter, wear a veil of cloud, the residue of saturday, was hanging around. it has gone now. underneath, witty clear skies. for the north of scotland, there will be quite a widespread frost. not particularly hard, but a widespread frost. not particularly hard, buta reminder widespread frost. not particularly hard, but a reminder that we are still fairly early in the season, so don't be surprised, even in towns and cities, if we get close to, if not just a and cities, if we get close to, if notjust a tad below and cities, if we get close to, if not just a tad below freezing. and cities, if we get close to, if notjust a tad below freezing. the first part of the week is marked by some mild air close by to the british isles but, once that is the way, the mild air in the south is relative to somewhat colder conditions getting into the northern

pa rt conditions getting into the northern part of scotland. monday starts bright, fairly crisp in one or two spots, and you keep your sunshine across northern and eastern parts for most of the day. out west, things change and, come tea—time, rain pushing into the west of northern ireland, pembrokeshire and maybe west of the river tay more. 9 degrees to 13. that area of rain is associated with weather from straight around that area of low pressure. tuesday, rather wet and breezy for some, and when the rain eventually becomes confined to northern and eastern parts, and it's still relatively mild across the south but, further north, a shot of cold aircoming in south but, further north, a shot of cold air coming in from the north sea, four or cold air coming in from the north sea, fouror5 cold air coming in from the north sea, four or 5 degrees in leith. as a consequence, much cooler conditions to be found towards the north, and we see these snowfall totals to mount up. further south, into wednesday, brighter sky is

falling behind, but a bright and last resort of day, with a number of showers and maybe some hail in the heaviest. a mixed bag to start the new week, turning a bit colder after those double—figure temperatures, some rain at times and a risk of snow, particularly on high ground.
