united nations that it categorically rejects allegations that it was involved in the nerve agent attack in salisbury. yesterday, theresa may said two russians from the military intelligence service were thought to have carried out the attack. they are accused of the attempted murder of the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia, who were poisoned with the nerve agent novichok, in march this year. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. these are the pictures the government believes show russia's responsibility for the first use of chemical weapons on european soil in decades. two russian military intelligence officers — alias alexander petrov and ruslan boshirov — flying to britain in march, taking the train to salisbury, laying a trail of deadly nerve agent on orders ministers say from the very top. all of which british diplomats in new york said was reckless and malign behaviour by one of the five permanent members of the united nations security council.

0ne p5 member has undertaken a pattern of behaviour which showed they tried to murder the skripals, they played dice with the lives of the people of salisbury. they work in a parallel universe where the normal rules of international fair are inverted. russia insisted its military organisation had nothing to do with the attack or president putin. the russian ambassador said the allegations were unfounded and mendacious. translation: the russian federation categorically rejects all unfounded accusations regarding its involvement in poisoning with toxic chemicals. london needs this story for just one purpose. to unleash a disgusting anti—russian hysteria. today, the leaders of britain's closest allies, the us, france, germany and canada issued a statement

expressing their full confidence that the operation was almost certainly approved at a senior level in russia. they also agreed to disrupt together the hostile activities of foreign intelligence networks on their territories. we will respond robustly when our security is threatened. the ambassador called for greater use of sanctions, for the chemical weapons convention to be strengthened, and more powers for international authorities to name and shame countries that use nerve agents. and around the table, there was some support. today, our british friends and colleagues are providing us with a masterclass on how to stop the spread of chemical weapons. they are creating accountability for those who use chemical agents and providing vital support for the international norm against the use of these deadly illegal weapons. the question for the foreign office here is can all this diplomatic

support be translated into real action against russia, such as sanctions? now, that's unlikely to come from the united nations, where russia has a veto so the uk is going to have to rely on the eu, and the problem is that some european allies are reluctant to antagonise russia. so this will be a real test of british diplomacy and european unity. james landale, bbc news, at the foreign office. the hollywood actor, burt reynolds, has died at the age of 82. he shot to fame in deliverance and starred in films like smokey and the bandit, boogie nights and the cannonball run. he died in hospital in florida after suffering a heart attack. his family described him as a generous, passionate and sensitive man. from los angeles, james cook reports. i thought they'd surely kill us! they would have... they would have

for sure. burt reynolds in deliverance, taking on the wilderness and its murderous inhabitants, the embodiment of the macho american. he even did his own stunts despite nearly drowning filming this. reynolds made his name in westerns like navajo joe, which reynolds made his name in westerns like navajojoe, which played on his own reputed and disputed cherokee roots. what's your name? joe. he became a hollywood heartthrob. nowl will tell you we're going to try and get away with as much as possible... he did, although he said he regretted posing naked for

cosmopolitan. smokey and the bandit was classic reynolds. 0ne long car chase. but drinking, womanising and spending took a toll on his reputation and his fortune, and by 1996, he was bankrupt. you come into my house, my 1996, he was bankrupt. you come into ty, 1996, he was bankrupt. you come into my house, my party, to tell me about the future... boogie nights revived his reputation for an oscar nomination for his role as a pawn director, although he hated making the movie. the career-high was when i got nominated for that film. and the career low was when i couldn't get a job. that was not too long before that, i was having a rough time. but reynolds said he regretted not taking more serious roles, but perhaps it didn't matter. his memoir ended with the line" nobody had more

fun thani ended with the line" nobody had more fun than i did". james cook reporting on the life of the reynolds, who died at the age of 82. trace the arc of his career in terms of the highs and lows of his films. an extraordinary career. he started not wanting to be a movie star, he wa nted not wanting to be a movie star, he wanted to be a sports star but after an injury put an end to that, he went to hollywood and took acting classes but looked a bit too much like marlon and i for some tastes so instead became a stunt doing a lot of his own stunts and later on in his life, when i met him, sustaining long—term injuries as a result of that cash marlon brooms no. it was deliverance in 1972 that launched him asa deliverance in 1972 that launched him as a hollywood movie star ——

marlon brando. i asked him why he insisted on shooting the paddling trip in sequence —— asked the director why. quite a hair raising movie to make and to watch. he became the number one box office staff of ideas and he dominated the 19705 staff of ideas and he dominated the 1970s as an image of her student, rugged masculinity that only started to date when we got to the 1980s —— hirsute. and that time his career hit a decline. what was he like in interviews, on the set and away from all that? from the reports i read, he could be quite a different character? i met him twice, once for boogie nights, but only briefly. he wasn't keen on boogie nights, as james cook said in his report, he

fired his agent kos was so unhappy. when i met him again at a film festival where they were doing a tribute to his work, he said he got a new audience from boogie nights, the kind of people that go to sting concerts, he said. interesting classification! he was sensitive about some subjects that you were encouraged to keep away from. he didn't like doing print interviews, he had been burned in the past, and he had been burned in the past, and he tended to be so relaxed he left his tongue to run away from him and he said certain things. he was sensitive about certain things, though. i was told i wasn't meant to talk about his finances or his hair, because apparently both were rather problematic. i'm sure we will see a few burt reynolds retrospectives, what would you want to see most keenly? he was the start of smokey and the bandit, he made canon ball

run, ilike and the bandit, he made canon ball run, i like semi— tough. it would be nice to look back and see the burt reynolds that made a mark on men of a certain age in the 1970s. a man who made charm look easy. the only thing that wasn't easy was being burt reynolds and towards the end of his life, he admitted it was a hard act to follow. certainly was. siobhan, thanks very much. steven wallace siobhan, thanks very much. steven walla ce ha d siobhan, thanks very much. steven wallace had just finished working with burt reynolds before he died. he directed burt reynolds‘ last completed film, defining moments. what did the he play for you as a role? he played a character named chester and chester was a man who hadn‘t been able to connect with his daughter. he decided he had nine

months to be born so he wanted to ta ke months to be born so he wanted to take nine months to die, and he wa nted take nine months to die, and he wanted to connect with her in that nine months so he spends the entire nine months so he spends the entire nine months so he spends the entire nine months spending his time with her and learning about her, all the things he didn‘t do when she was younger. what was it like working with him? somebody of this stature, who‘s been a hollywood legend for a number of years, it‘s quite overwhelming i would imagine for a lot of people to have to work with him? he was scary. burt was always one of my heroes growing up. i was born in the mid— 60s and i was smack in that age group that fell in love with him when he was smokey and the bandit and cannonball run. he‘s the opposite of what you thought he would be. you would think he would be the grumpy tough guy, but he was probably the sweetest actor i‘ve had the chance to work with. he would

give mea the chance to work with. he would give me a hug and a kiss on the cheek each morning and call me chief, and he treated the entire cast and crew like his kids. what kind of performance did he give to you? a phenomenal performance. really textured. we shot after the film was shot and he said it was one of his three favourite performances —— we talked. that was kind of rewarding for us. you said no one had more fun than him, admittedly at some cost to him during his life. did that side of his character come out? absolutely. you could tell that he enjoyed being on film sets, that was his home. you could tell that acting and working with other actors was his life. i never saw him without a smile. identity could live that way. how much do you think that enjoyment of being on the set was

born out of the fact that he had known those really dark days when he couldn‘t get a job? known those really dark days when he couldn't get a job? i think with anything, actors in hollywood tend to have up and downs and up and downs, there was a certain part of his life towards the last ten or 15 yea rs his life towards the last ten or 15 years when he decided to... you know, live it to... let it happy, you know, not to dwell on bad things or things he couldn‘t control. you know, not to dwell on bad things or things he couldn't control. tell us, stephen, when we can see defining moments? defining moments will be out in spring of 2019. there you go, worth coming onjust for a plug. stephen wallace, thanks for coming on and sharing your memories of burt reynolds with us. thank you. the headlines on bbc news: british airways says it is investigating the theft of customer data from its website and mobile app, after personal and financial details were compromised. the us, france, germany and canada back britain‘s assessment that two russian military intelligence officers were behind the salisbury nerve agent attack.

the american actor burt reynolds, who is best known for appearing in films including deliverance, smokey and the bandit and boogie nights, has died. the frontrunner in brazil‘s presidential election, jair bolsonaro, has been stabbed while campaigning in the south—east of the country. he is currently undergoing surgery. the attack comes just weeks before one of the most uncertain elections in decades, with mr bolsonaro‘s right—wing populist party holding a substantial lead in the polls. us prosecutors have charged a north korean man alleged to have been involved in creating the malicious software used to cripple the national health service in 2017. the incident left nhs staff reverting to pen and paper after being locked out of computer systems. parkjin hyok is said to be linked to the lazarus group, a hacking collective is also blamed for the hack on sony pictures in 2014.

our technology correspondent dave lee is in washington and explained more about the group. the lazarus group has been known to cyber security firms for quite sometime. it is believed to be backed and paid for by pyongyang, the north korean government. we understand it often operates outside of the country, in china, and they have been blamed for a large number of attacks. noticeably, as you said, the wannacry virus, which spread around the world, costing an awful lot of money and causing disruption in many places, including notably the nhs, and the hack on sony pictures as well, which was hugely embarrassing for the company. they lost some projects from it, the head of sony pictures had to step down.

an incredibly embarrassing affair for them, and an incredibly embarrassing affair forthem, and mr an incredibly embarrassing affair for them, and mr park was instrumental in designing some of these tools, co—ordinating some of these tools, co—ordinating some of these attacks, and that is why they have charged him today. it is one thing charging him, but how do they bring him to justice? thing charging him, but how do they bring him tojustice? with thing charging him, but how do they bring him to justice? with great difficulty and probably never at all. they understand... they told the bbc they understand that mr park is in north korea, and of course north korea isn‘t going to be in any kind of ha—ri to give the man up. and that is typical in these cases, not just when dealing and that is typical in these cases, notjust when dealing with hackers from north korea, but also other countries as well, particularly russia and china. so i don‘t think it is likely that we will ever see him face a court or anything like that in the us. what is important about this, and one of the reasons the us bothers to go through this process , the us bothers to go through this process, is it puts it to paper and says these are the things we have found out, and it can be used often to imposed sanctions down the line

or even to push for more resources to check for this kind of thing. so although the man himself, mr park, won‘t see any kind ofjustice, if he is the man behind some of these attacks, the exercise is useful for other reasons. twitter has blocked the accounts of the right—wing conspiracy theorist alex jones and his infowars website. the social media site made the move after he posted a number of tweets which violated the company‘s abusive behaviour policy. twitter‘s decision follow similar moves from facebook and youtube, who have deleted mrjones‘s content from their platforms. an inquest into the death of a toddler who had waited days for emergency surgery has found gross failure in his care at the royal manchester children‘s hospital. the coroner ruled that the boy, who was 20 months old, died in april 2016 of natural causes, contributed to by neglect. the hospital has apologised unreservedly to his family.

0ur health editor hugh pym reports from manchester. the thing that i miss the most is going home and not hearing him. he‘d, like, shout "nana" or "grandad" the minute you walked in the door, because we‘d been at work all day. julie expected her grandson kayden would have a straightforward operation for a chest hernia at one of the country‘s most prestigious children‘s hospitals. but he never came home, after a series of delays and failings with his care. the pain that he was in was horrendous. you know, you picked him up, you‘d nurse him, he‘d literally be climbing over your shoulder, because he was in that much pain. and you couldn‘t calm him down. when that pain hit, it was horrendous for him. kayden should have had his operation at royal manchester within 2a hours, but it hadn‘t happened after four days. he went into cardiac arrest and never recovered. his family were left with no choice. life support had to be turned off. the coroner, angharad davies, said at the hospital

there were deficiencies in handovers between consultants, and in the way patients needing urgent operations were managed. she said there were difficulties with the culture, which sometimes allowed routine surgery to be prioritised over urgent operations. the coroner ruled neglect had contributed to kayden‘s death — highly significant, according to lawyers for his mother, shannon, and his grandmother. it‘s very surprising that a trust of that size, with those resources and that reputation, could have had failings that were considered to be so gross so as to constitute neglect. the trust has apologised to the family, and said it has made changes. how could a series of these tragic errors have happened at a leading children‘s hospital like yours? when any incident like this happens, it‘s critical to look at all the different processes that might have contributed to that, and it‘s important for us to learn from those circumstances, and put in place the actions that prevent

those things happening again. he passed away, our shannon, when they turned the machines off. and then i took him off shannon and... they took all his tubes out, and i washed him and put him into his pyjamas. because i didn't want them doing it. it must have been a horrendous decision to make, at that point on that sunday. it was. it was the worst thing ever. for kayden‘s family, today‘s ruling at least recognises the full extent of the failings of the hospital which let him down. hugh pym, bbc news, manchester. urgent action is being taken against shrewsbury and telford hospital trust by the regulator, the care quality commission. it follows an unannounced inspection a week ago which revealed widespread concerns about the quality of patient care and safety. the trust was already under investigation for a series of baby deaths in its maternity services.

the government has abandoned plans to cut taxes for 3 million self—employed workers. the treasury had announced two years ago that it would scrap some national insurance contributions. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster and explained the significance of the move. the plan was to abolish a class of national insurance contributions which would have seen about 3 million self—employed workers pay about £150 a year less. what, by abolishing that class, it would have pushed some of the lowest earners into a higher class, meaning that they would have had to pay more. now, the treasury couldn‘t find a way to make that fear and so it has ditched the whole plan. but this is an the first time the chancellor has had to row back on a proposed change to the tax system for the self—employed. he had to do so when he found himself in some political hot water after last year‘s budget. labour said the government should not promise things it can‘t deliver, and has accused it of betraying the self—employed. a leaked treasury paper has revealed that the government expects whitehall departments to make cuts in the event of the uk not reaching a deal with the european union over brexit. the document, codenamed 0peration yellowhammer,

was photographed in the hands of the treasury minister, john glen, the mp for salisbury, as he left the cabinet office. the chancellor, philip hammond, played down its significance. what i‘ve announced £3 billion of additionalfunding for what i‘ve announced £3 billion of additional funding for no deal planning. after that, just over half of that, has already been allocated to departments this year. further allocations will be made in due course. so departments have the funding for no deal planning. what we are beginning to discuss now, as pa rt we are beginning to discuss now, as part of our long—term contingency planning, which is perfectly normal thing for government to be doing, is what we would do if it were to become apparent, as we move towards 29 march, that we are not going to get a deal. that is essential contingency planning that we have to do. and that will have to come out of the budget. and in those circumstances we would have to

refocus government‘s priorities so that government was focused on the circumstances that we found ourselves in. but let me reiterate again, that is not the outcome were expecting, it is not the outcome we are seeking. —— we are expecting. india‘s supreme court has ruled that gay sex is no longer a criminal offence. the historic decision reverses a colonial—era law that categorised homosexuality as an "unnatural offence". divya ayra reports. it is a wave of relief. the end of two decades of legal struggle to take out a victorian law that made gay sex criminal. the court struck off the law and said it was a weapon for the harassment of india‘s lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans community. two consenting adults have sex of any type, in private. if there is consent

and it is in private, it will not be an offence under 377. i haven't come out to my parents, so i'm going to do that tonight. this is a huge turn of events and i didn't expect, like, the whole... ijust came here to listen to whatever the verdict was, and now i'm out. the colonial—era law known as section 377 categorised gay sex as an unnatural offence, and was decriminalised in 2009. only to be made criminal again in 2013 after an appeal. in its finaljudgement, the supreme court has now said that discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a violation of fundamental rights. the rains clearly haven‘t dampened the spirits here. they all want to soak in the moment and celebrate their freedom. the 157—year—old colonial law meant that there was a sense of fear, and it pushed many into the closet. but today, they are out and proud.

activists say there is a tough battle of social stigma and homophobia still to be fought. it will take a lot of time. we have to fight the stigma in our home, in the neighbourhood, the friend circle, in offices. that — i mean, it‘s a long battle. this victory came after a long legal fight with religious groups and the government, and it is only the beginning. now, they dare to dream of the right to marry, adopt, and inherit property, just like heterosexuals. divya ayra, bbc news, delhi. and we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, former director of communications for the conservative party giles kenningham and polly mackenzie, director of the centre—left think tank demos. that is coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it is time for the weather, with nick miller. hello. last time on the weather for

the week ahead we talked about the uncertainty in our forecast. looking further ahead, based on the presence of hurricane florence in the atlantic. how about uncertainty times three? 0n the west coast of africa, this is a birth zoned for tropical storms, and this could develop into one such tropical weather system once it makes its way into the atlantic. 0ne system which has done that is this one here, which could become tropical storm or hurricane helen into the future. so three potential tropical weather systems, three reasons for the computer models to be struggling with the forecast, because they don‘t really handle these very well. and the forecast notjust here but across the atlantic, and whether in the next week, well, there are still big question marks about whether next week, as we will see. as we look at the picture for friday, we got low pressure in the north sea and early rain in eastern scotland, north—east england, still easing in the northern isles, far north of mainland scotland. elsewhere, the

odd shower. a cool west north—westerly breeze but for many into the afternoon it will be dry. some sunny spells around, but we are seeing some temperatures getting into the low 20s and that is less likely for friday. if we look into the weekend, that area of low pressure becoming less significant but we have a fresh frontal system coming in from the atlantic. that means rain for some, but there is still a lot to play for in the detail here. it looks like england and wales going to be targeted with outbreaks of rain. there may not be too much, though, in southern england. it may not fringe at all into northern and scotland, leaving it mainly dry here but we still can‘t be exactly sure about the position of that rain. as we go into sunday, looks like this frontal system here may just sunday, looks like this frontal system here mayjust install through parts of england and wales, with cloud, and still some patchy rain or a few showers. again, not exactly
