hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. a double blow for president trump on another tumultuous day for his administration. the president agrees to shut down his personal charity after the new york attorney general accuses it of a "shocking pattern of illegality," and alleges funds were misused. the president's former national security adviser has already admitted lying to the fbi, now a judge says michael flynn's crimes bordered on treason, but his sentencing is delayed. the uk government says it will stockpile medicines and keep troops on standby in case talks with the eu over brexit fail to reach an agreement. we need to recognise with m weeks ago but a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without a deal. that is the responsible thing for the government to do. and a football story that's travelling far beyond the back pages, jose mourinho sacked as manager donald trump's charity

foundation is closing down. it's facing allegations that funds were illegally misused. here's a statement by the attorney general of new york state. she says there was quote, "a shocking pattern of illegality involving the trump foundation, including unlawful co—ordination with the trump presidential campaign." she continues: "this amounted to the trump foundation functioning as little more than a chequebook to serve mr trump's business and political interests. " there's also the allegation that the president and his three eldest children were involved in all of this. wr‘ve had no response from the trumps today. but injune, mr trump tweeted, @realdonaldtrump " i won't settle this case!..." and insisted the foundation had done nothing wrong. there's analysis about the foundation online from anthony zurcher.

we're going to get the thoughts of nada tawfik in new york. take me through this piece, first of all i need to clear up why the trump foundation is going to be closing, it is closing because the trumps have decided that is a good idea or because they have to do it? well, legally with this agreement it is because they have to do it. but, the drum foundation lawyer came up with a statement saying the attorney general statement was misleading and that really president trump i setback in december of 2016, after his election victory that he wanted to dissolve the foundation anyway to not make it appear as if there were any conflicts of interest. and that the attorney general office has been the attorney general office has been the one to hold up that whole process. but, under this the one to hold up that whole process. but, underthis legal agreement, they have come to terms with the fact that the fundies and

will have to shut down under judicial supervision which means the money remaining will have to only go to nonprofits that the attorney general office agrees with. does this mean individuals have the crimes? well, that is what is going to be determined in this lawsuit against her then trump and his three eldest children. the attorney general says she is going through without lawsuit, president trump has said they won't settle, the kind of key bits of the lawsuits really alleged that president trump boasts benefited politically and in his business life from this foundation using it the money as he saw fit. they said there was no real structure to oversee correctly the financial statements and the structure of this foundation in fa ct, structure of this foundation in fact, the investigation into the foundation was first launched because they were properly registered and they say president trump did things like a political contributions, several lawsuits, and give money directly to his political

campaign to try to benefit obviously his position in the 2016 election. so if mrtrump his position in the 2016 election. so if mr trump and his children are saying they have done nothing wrong, what are they saying the foundation was actually doing? well, president trump says the foundation actually gave out far more money than it took in giving to charitable organisations. he himself started this foundation with money he got from his book the art of the deal backin from his book the art of the deal back in 1984 and he for many years was the kind of sole person to contribute but for more than a decade now actually so contributions have come from people like president trump's friends, places like nbc that worked very closely with president trump on shows like the apprentice when they wanted to donate to a cause and so there is a big dispute here obviously between the president and the attorney general‘s office about how the president used that foundation. thank you very much indeed. 0n president used that foundation. thank you very much indeed. on most days that would be a huge story in

its own right for the president of america but donald trump has something else to think about as well. and that is what is happening to michael flynn. he used to be mr trump's national security adviser, and today he due to be sentenced for lying to the fbi about contacts with russia. this is what the president tweet before the sentencing: "good luck today in court to general michael flynn. will be interesting to see what he has to say, despite tremendous pressure being put on him, about russian collusion. " many were predicting flynn would avoid jail time, instead the judge told him said he was not hiding his quote "disgust" and told him you "arguably sold your country out". and he postponed the sentencing til march. this is the reaction of the white house press secretary. the activities that he is said to and we will that the court make that determination, to engage in and don't have anything to do with the present, let's remember

what the whole thing that this started is supposed to be about, it's whether or not russia influenced the election and whether or not the president had anything to do with it. we know that the, russia tried to create chaos in the election but certainly not that they actually impacted it, the only reason the president is the president is cos he was a better candidate and beat hillary clinton. we also know the president never colluded with russia. michael flynn was only national security adviser for 23 days. he resigned in february 2017 after it had emerged he'd had discussions with the russian ambassador to the us before mr trump took office. well in december 2017, flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi, and since then he's been cooperating with robert mueller and his russia investigation. in one memo, mr mueller says "the defendant provided first—hand information about the content and context of interactions between the transition team and russian government officials."

i spoke to gary 0'donohue in washington about what that delay means for michael flynn: it also offers michael flynn and his lawyers more time in a sense to buy a bit more credit when it comes to the sentencing because i think if you look at what happened this morning in court, there was a serious concern clearly that they were heading for a prison term, even though robert mueller had recommended no time, thejudge looked like he was heading for something like that potentially, he offered them the chance to take a for a scheduling hearing in march and they took that pretty quickly, so i think having had 19 meetings already with michael flynn, robert mueller and a few more. that worries the white house a great deal.

with today's proceedings, do we get any more insight into where robert mueller is going with his broader investigation? no, i don't think so in particular because i'd don't say of course what they are learning in particular from the people they are speaking to. you quoted there from the agreement that a document he supplied and mueller supplied to the court and that thing about the interactions with the russians is interesting because don't forget michael flynn wasn't freelancing when he was talking to the russian ambassador, he was in contact with people in the transition team at mar—a—lago during that christmas period when he was in the dominican republic and some of the transition team and the president were in mar—a—lago. so, he will i'm sure have been pressed by the special counsel on who else was involved in those is cautioned and what that

constituted. the uk government is making 3,500 troops available, in case there's a no deal brexit. it's also approved $2.5bn (£2bn) of additionalfunding for government departments here's the brexit secretary explaining why. the government's priority remains to secure a deal, but we need to recognise with 14 weeks to go that a responsible government is preparing for the eventuality that we leave without a deal, that is the responsible thing for the government do, that is what we agreed at cabinet. part of the no deal preparations involves stockpiling medicines. here's the health secretary speaking to the bbc‘s mark urban, about the challenges of keeping them cold. refrigeration? yes. you feel you have adequate resources for those perishable treatments. yes, i have become the largest buyer of fridges in the world, i did not expect that but those tenders have been successfully completed and we are a combination of buying and building refrigeration capacity

to make sure we have enough for medicines. so, troops on stand—by, mass fridge buying, extra funds from a conservative party that pursued austerity for much of this decade, this is a long way from how brexit was projected in 2016. though i should emphasise, theresa may says no deal is possible, but she prefers her deal. well for its part the eu has long warned of no deal. in this summer it said ‘border checks would have to be re—imposed, and transport between the uk and the eu would be severely affected', ‘the uk would become a "third country" with substantially less access to the eu single market'. that would mean, for example, map having to check lorries making the dover, calais crossing, it would also mean a hard border between ireland and northern ireland, though both sides say they want to avoid that. add to all of that, the bank of england says no deal would cause

the uk gdp to fall by 8%. all of which os proving a little unsettling for some. @hugorifkind: i can't decide whether to be utterly scornful of the government's "no deal" preparations because they're a pathetically transparent ruse or utterly terrified by them because they might not be. hugo's a known critic of brexit. @samgyimah: sam geemah though is a conservative mp. he says the details of the no deal preparation are ‘displacement activity‘. ‘and a concerted attempt to discredit every plausible alternative as they run down the clock‘. that's a reference to the fact that parliament will finally get a vote of theresa may's brexit deal

the week of 14 january. and given the prime minister couldn't get it through this month, and the eu says it won't change the deal, certainly new tactics are needed to get this over the line. if you could run us through the premise of‘s main tactical plan here, what would it be? well, this isa here, what would it be? well, this is a big part of it i am sure, not only now delaying the key vote for another month and it will be held just two months before the uk is set to the vu, i mean i think this plays into her tactic of really trying to frighten mps really in the alternative to the deal being no deal and she's trying to show that they are taking that prospect very

seriously by putting the money up front and she £4 billion have been diverted now by the to preparations for brexit, much of the 2 billion that's been allocated across whitehall today is going towards no deal planning, it's sending a message to mps that the government is serious about this but i must also say there's quite a degree of skepticism and incredulity among members of parliament to. vince cable kolbe governmentplanning psychological warfare, the tory mp said if the government's policy becomes one of seeking an ideal brexit then he would resign the tory and do everything he can to work with other mps to stop that happening. i do think there is a large majority in the house of commons for stopping by no—deal brexit from occurring. but nobody knows exactly how mps will be able to do that. you know better than me, things are moving fast in westminster, it could be easy to forget what happened yesterday but

this time yesterday he was talking about the possibility of the opposition tabling a no—confidence motion in the prime minister, where have we got to with that? you are right, that petered out by the end of yesterday when it became clear that the government were not going to make any time what was a fairly meaningless gimmick i think in the end by the labour leader to call a vote of confidence in the prime minister with no provision in statute for that, there's no obligation on the governments part to provide anytime, what many labour mps want to see happen very soon his birdie but to move decisively onto the attack and call for a vote of confidence in the government following the rules of the fixed form and act it does not look like that will happen before christmas, i don't think it will happen before that big boat in a month's don't think it will happen before that big boat in a months time. i think if that votes goes down and the government have defeated, that would be a moment of maximum wea kness would be a moment of maximum weakness in the government and it will feel like total political chaos andi will feel like total political chaos and i imagine that will be the moment neighbour will bring a no—confidence motion but as you know

this is so unpredictable at the moment and i think westminster is just staggering towards christmas recess in today's time, what will happen before then, i am not going to place any bets on it.|j happen before then, i am not going to place any bets on it. i bet we will be talking about it tomorrow. thank you very much. i say this every day but i should say it again, if you have a question about brexit an opinion not have questions? if you want explanations, bbc news website is the best way to go. bbc .com/ news. stay with us on 0utside source, still to come: a report reveals the scale of abusive messages on twitter targetted at women, and particularly, women of colour. an operation took place this morning in cornwall to refloat a 16,000 tonne russian cargo ship which ran aground. sarah ransome was in falmouth to give an update. you can see the 16,000 pound cargo

carrier that was stranded off the shore herejust 100 carrier that was stranded off the shore herejust100 or so metres from the shoreline and finally, finally then refloat it and is now heading back out to sea. this morning it was a dramatic time as postcards and other agencies involved in trying to get her refloat it. we are concerned because they were hampered by i wind, very strong seas, and torrential rain this morning. a number of thoughts have been used in the rescue, they we re have been used in the rescue, they were waiting for the high type, the tubbs went in and look, the 16,000 tonne bulk carrier vessel with their 18 crew on board has finally refloat it. this is 0utside source live charity after a lawsuit by the new york attorney general.

she said mr trump used the foundation as a personal checkbook for his political interests. this is a two—year—old abdullah hassan, he's on life support in california. his mother, who is from yemen, has now been granted a visa to visit her dying son. she had previously been unable to get into the us because of president donald trump's travel ban which bars citizens from yemen. but after a tearful televised plea from the boy's father, the us embassy in cairo issued her a visa. bbc arabic. a petition accusing disney of "colonialism and robbery" for trademarking the phrase hakuna matata has attracted more than 30,000 signatures. "hakuna matata" means "no problem" or "no worries" in swahili, and was used in the disney film the lion king. disney first applied to trademark the catchphrase in 1994, but the row has resurfaced as the hype builds for the lion king's live—action remake. bbc swahili.

this video is from a former nasa engineer youtube channel, mark roper got tired of having his parcels stolen so he spent six months building an elaborate trap disguised as a parcl. it used four smartphones, a circuit board and almost 500g of glitter. the phones recorded the thieves and then the glitter exploded when the parcel was opened. new research from the world economic forum says it will take over 20 years for women to earn the same wages as men -- 200 —— 200 years. and to have equaljob opportunties. this is all in "the global gender gap report 2018", it says women in work is at its lowest level in ten years". also for the tenth year in a row iceland has been deemed the world's most equal country. sweden is second, finland is third,

this is when measured by economic opportunity; political empowerment; educational attainment; and health and survival. saadia zahidi is one of the report's co—authors. there has been changed, there have been improvements and we are still luckily on a positive trajectory, we are not moving backwards but 202 yea rs are not moving backwards but 202 years essentially means we have stalled. the have basically stalled in terms of making progress towards gender equality and there are a lot of structural reasons for why this has happened, one is we basically still have not found in most economies with the exception of a few countries in the north of europe, we basically have not found solutions to the fact that women still tend to be the ones that do most of the unpaid care work in the home and the second aspect is technological change in automation and what it's doing to labour market and what it's doing to labour market and that is starting to have a very

negative impact on women. the methodology of the index is such what we are trying to save let's ta ke what we are trying to save let's take a look at their resources and opportunities our country has got it bug you are ones 01’ opportunities our country has got it bug you are ones or larger opportunities our country has got it bug you are ones 01’ larger resources bug you are ones or larger resources and opportunities we are trying to see is there a quality or not in terms of how the country is distributing those resources and opportunities between women and men. so countries like rwanda make it into the top ten because they are doing a good job of that equal distribution, countries like the philippines make it into the top ten, countries like libya make it into the top ten so it's really because of how they're doing that distribution and that means there's a lot of rich countries that end up at the bottom of the rankings so countries like japan and korea and a delete, these are advanced economies that are doing pretty poorjob of integrating all their talent. let's go back to the issue of no—deal brexit. no deal is causing concern in financial sectors in london, elsewhere in europe and in the us. @ft "us regulator urges action to prevent no—deal

brexit causing havoc". the newspaper has done an interview with jay clayton, who's head of the us regulator the sec. he says, "some period of adjustment would be good," and he added "the intricacies of our financial system are significant and it's difficult to identify all the ways in which a decree that something is no longer valid may impact." in other words, he's not sure what will happen if the uk crashes out of the eu. i guess it's a measure of concern that as senior regulator in the us is making them to talk about brexit. absolutely, there's certainly a lot of concern now that the exact way this exit is going to happen is really quite unclear. you know,

there is no way for anyone to really fundamentally understand how this will all work. that's really what mr clinton is expressing is we don't really know but it certainly makes a lot of us very worried and we want some sort of assurance is that there won't be any near—term risks to american financial markets, that the two countries are really quite tied financially and extricating each country from these difficult agreements would be very difficult and if there was hard brexit it would really cause some turmoil for financial markets and to be fair he's not the only american regulator thatis he's not the only american regulator that is making mention of this, even the us federal reserve still an important financial entity here is also raising concerns about a hard brexit. who does he want assurances from? well, that's the thing, he's being asked by the financial times

details about something that no one really knows what it's going to look like. so, it's really more of them just voicing concern on the part of what could happen but in terms of getting any guarantees, he can get any guarantees from anyone because as you pointed out who is he going to ask? this is a new amnesty international report, ‘twitter, a toxic place for women.‘ it‘s revealed widespread abuse of female journalists and politicians on the social media platform, and found black women were much more likely to be targeted. for example, the uk‘s shadow home secretary diane abbott. she said, ‘it‘s the anonymity and the ease of twitter which has put racists into overdrive". "the first thing my staff have to do in the morning is go online and delete and block all the stuff.‘ diane abbott has called for twitter to end the anonymity of its users. our technology correspondent zoe kleinman has more on the story. the headlines from amnesty‘s troll

reports are sobering. 0ne the headlines from amnesty‘s troll reports are sobering. one woman receives an abusive or problematic to eat every 30 seconds it says, that women are far more likely to be targeted than white women. it‘s worth having a look at how the study was carried out, however, amnesty followed 778 woman in the uk and us over the period of the year. but they were all mps and journalists who are more likely to be attracting both positive and negative attention andi both positive and negative attention and i can certainly tell you that from experience as a generalist myself and talking about issues that are perhaps more likely to make people feel angry, to feel controversial. twitter has not really said an awful lot, it says it would like to discuss with amnesty how it defines automatic because one person‘s problematic could be another person‘s freedom of speech.

twitter also says it‘s doing a lot to tackle abuse and it does look into reports. however according to amnesty, their are 2.8 million accou nts amnesty, their are 2.8 million accounts that were flagged this winter last year for abusive behaviour and only about 9% of them we re behaviour and only about 9% of them were actually removed. this problem is not unique to twitter. social networks can all be robust places and anecdotes of media experiences of many women seem and anecdotes of media experiences of many women seem to be that they are getting a particularly difficult time. the issue is what can twitter do about it and can respond quickly enough? the fallout from the arrest of one of the senior executives in canada very much continues. it's it‘s that time of night when we take

a look at world weather. we have got some heat in australia, some snow for parts of europe, but first of all some big waves across the west coast of the usa. you can see various frontal systems and then the crowd pushing in from the pacific and the wins just racing across a vast expanse of ocean and that generates some huge waves. these we re generates some huge waves. these were the scenes off the coast of california over the last couple of days. looks like fun for this server is not actually venturing into these conditions is not advisable. big waves also can cause coastal flooding and there is more unsettled weather in the pipeline. for this pa rt weather in the pipeline. for this part of north america. for many other parts of the us, and canada actually selectively dry and there are some sunshine if you have a trip to new york tomorrow, for example should be fine with sunny skies and highs of around 6 degrees. but, trouble brewing down here to the southeast, some stormy weather is starting to spin itself up, an area of low pressure generating an

intensifying and that we‘ll be sliding northeastward. some rain for national, turned colder, it will by friday turned mild but went in new york. to australia now, you can see on our temperature chart for wednesday, these of deep orange colours across large parts of australia actually temperatures into the 30s and 40s celsius, for some this plenty more hot sunshine to come as we go through wednesday and of course it is summer aleesami dumoulin into summer in this part of the world. turning a bit more u nsettled the world. turning a bit more unsettled across the southeastern cornerfor unsettled across the southeastern corner for melbourne towards cindy —— sydney, showers and thunderstorms and behind that something fresher spreading in from the south but the orange colours certainly evidenced across queensland into the northern territory and temperatures may not be as high as they have been but still pretty hot and a bit cooler you will notice coast of that south coast. but, nothing is cold as it is across the eastern half of europe. wednesday, than bringing a widespread fraud and even through

the day, some spots will not get above freezing. further west including for us here at home it is milder and the mild air racing into the atlantic, bumping into the cold air, it‘s going to be generating some snow. some parts of the alps this week could see a metre of snow but as milder air spreads in from the west, the snow levels tends to come up the west, the snow levels tends to come up a the west, the snow levels tends to come up a bit. some of the lower resorts may see the snow turning back to rain. the higher up you are, decent chance of seeing a lot of snow through this week. good news for the ski resorts it stays gently across the eastern side of europe but still mild across the west and thatis but still mild across the west and that is the story for us here at home. relatively mild but next to, there will be drier rain at times, more details on that in half an hour. hello, i‘m ros atkins, this is 0utside source. a double blow for president trump on another tumultuous day for his administration. the president agrees to shut down his personal charity after the new york attorney general accuses it of a "shocking

pattern of illegality" and alleges funds were misused. the president‘s former national security adviser has already admitted lying to the fbi. now, a judge says michael flynn‘s crimes bordered on treason, but his sentencing is delayed. the president was highly critical. the chairman of huawei has accused some countries of trying to create fear about the chinese telecoms giant after an executive was arrested in canada. do you the full story in a couple of moments. and a football story that‘s travelling far beyond the back pages — jose mourinho sacked as manager of manchester united — the special one no more. there do not seem to be too many fa ns there do not seem to be too many fans who upset about that. more acrimony between china and the us over the arrest

of top huawei executive. meng wanzhou is currently on bail in canada and is awaiting possible extradition to the us on charges of trying to evade sanctions against iran. canada says her detention was simply the law in action. china sees it differently. translation: this is no different to a modern version of the emperor‘s new clothes. no matter how they dress their excuse with a legal overcoat, their blindness to fact and their contempt for rule of law is written for all to see in capital letters. it only makes people sneer at them. 0ne commentator in beijing described that as tantrum diplomacy, saying the official chinese reaction is one of "leveraging nationalist outrage to achieve diplomatic goals". bear in mind that last week, two canadian businessmen were arrested in china. we talked about this a lot on the

programme. it is not clear whether those arrests are connected but plenty of people think they are. zhaoyin feng, bbc chinese, in washington. what‘s the latest in the case to extradite meng wanzhou? yes, so meng wanzhou was released last week on bail in vancouver. just now living in her own home in vancouver and also receiving 24—7 surveillance. now the ball is in the us court. so the us has 60 days to submita us court. so the us has 60 days to submit a full extradition request. and canada‘s department ofjustice has a further 30 days to decide whether to commencing a tradition process or not. and then if that process or not. and then if that process is commenced, she will be subject to a hearing. it is worth noting that the track record of

successful extraditions from canada to the us is about 90%. we do not know whether meng wanzhou will be in a 90% or not but it is pretty certain that this would not know —— be the last i would discuss her case as the process can take months if not years. stay with us please goes as the only challenge facing huawei at the moment. several countries are shutting it out because of worries about the chinese state using its technology to spy. on monday, japan became the latest country to exclude huawei from public contracts for 5g, which is the next generation of mobile technology. they‘re following new zealand and australia, which did the same earlier in the year, also the us, which has been lobbying hard for other countries to follow suit. in the uk, the country‘s largest mobile operator said last week it won‘t use huawei after a warning by the head of m16. the company still has its fans elsewhere in europe, though.

huawei‘s chairman spoke to the press today for the first time since mrs wanzhou‘s arrest. he said that while most countries‘ concerns over security could be resolved through technological discussions, some countries instead turned the issue "into speculation out of ideological or geopolitical concerns." he said, "despite efforts in some markets to create fear about huawei and to use politics to interfere, we are proud to say that our customers continue to trust us." and he said huawei has now secured 25 contracts around the world to supply 5g, more than any other company. is the roll—out of 5g around the world now so dependent on huawei that it doesn‘t matter if a few countries boycott them ? that is a really good question. so

while huawei is now the world‘s largest telecom equipment supplier, and its global market share is around 28% last year. the company has revenue of 93 billion us dollars last year which is not much less than google‘s parent company and more than its two main rivals, nokia and ericsson combined. but still, the boycotts you just mentioned can seriously dampen huawei‘s business. for example, western europe is the largest market for huawei and outside of china and now we have seen growing concerns in the uk and germany regarding huawei‘s five g equipment potentially posing security risks to the countries. in china, well, there‘s a backlash to the backlash. 0ne chinese tourist attraction, the shennong mountain scenic park, says it‘ll waive the $10 entrance fee for anyone carrying a huawei phone.

and for city dwellers, there‘s this, tweeted by a journalist seen in beijing. "bring a huawei phone and get 20% off — with a picture of this sign outside a bar." this is a matter of national pride in china? yes, definitely. so huawei‘s fandom in china grows over the meng wanzhou arrest. also she herself seems to be in favour of portraying huawei as the chinese national company. after her release last week she made a social media posted saying she is proud of huawei and proud of our motherland. and her post gained a lot of support on chinese social media platforms. thank you very much indeed for the update and worth knowing that we often speak to anthony zucker and in washington but

we have got journalists anthony zucker and in washington but we have gotjournalists and lost differently which is both in our newsroom here in london and working ina newsroom here in london and working in a washington, two, there from the chinese team there. you will see plenty more of her on outside source. the ceasefire in hudaydah in yemen seems to holding. i was thinking i was going to say that. this has come in while we‘re on air telling is from a reuters that for glass or lay on step on the first day of the cease—fire agreed. 0ne resident said it sounded like artillery shelling. not immediately clear which side was responsible or indeed what the exact locations are of this plasma coming from reuters, a very reliable news agency. so we are playing close attention to that and we‘ll see what more we learn. we do know this cease—fire deal, whether it holds or not, had been agreed byjuve whether it holds or not, had been agreed by juve rebels whether it holds or not, had been agreed byjuve rebels and the saudi led government with the un in

between in sweden week. —— fee. but it‘s only been in place for 24 hours. the un special envoy to yemen tweeted, "the joint committee in charge of implementing the hudaydah agreement is expected to start its work swiftly to translate the deal into achievements on the ground." the work has begun to whether it will hold, we will have to see. he also spoke to the bbc radio earlier. i‘m a bit hopeful. i‘m quite familiar with ceasefires that don‘t work and remarkably i think this one seems to be working so far, very much the early hours of course. but, you know, first time the skies have been quiet over hudaydah for many, many months. so so far, so good. fingers crossed. we shall have to see in the coming hours or days without the mizzen tra nslates hours or days without the mizzen translates into reality. this is the reaction of some people in khokha, which is just south of hodaydah.

translation: the ceasefire saves civilians. it prevents massive losses. we hope that it will continue and that security and stability will return to the city of hudaydah even though there was fear in the first hours of the ceasefire. translation: the agreement, of course, is in the interest of the people, the end of the war is our concern. hudaydah is a crucial port. we talk about a lot here. it supplies food and aid to two—thirds of yemen‘s population. and remember over ten million people are at risk of famine. this map gives us more detail on what is happening. houthis control the city and its ports, and yemen‘s government forces are to the south and east. the ceasefire agreement means troops will move, and the main road from hudaydah to the capital sana‘a will be clear for humanitarian supplies. nawal al maghafi has more. we have been reporting on this

for a while and one of the main focuses on the story of yemen is the humanitarian situation. it‘s the world‘s worst humanitarian crisis. and hudaydah is the core of the problem. it is home to yemen‘s most important ports, the busiest port, which sees 90% of imports of food, fueland aid. and so not only is the blockade stopping most of that from coming in, but whatever does make it in, it‘s so difficult to distribute because of the fighting surrounding that port. so if the ceasefire holds and both parties to the conflict implement what was agreed upon in sweden, that would mean the blockade would be lifted, all this food and aid will be coming in more swiftly and because there is no fighting, ngos would be able to distribute it, which will have a huge impact on a very, very depressing humanitarian situation. this is the world‘s worst humanitarian crisis. the un says 22 million people are in need of humanitarian support. we will keep an eye on one of

entries is holding in yemen but let‘s move away from that story for the moment because when you turn our attention to space. this is a change of command ceremony on board the international space station. let‘s listen to it. let's listen to it. to adapt to challenges and changes and turn situations to the best and make the best at it and that is what we did. here we are, six humans on the international space station. the embassy of humankind out in space continuing on 18 year presence on this fantastic laboratory. at the same time, we were also able to com plete same time, we were also able to complete a great site of a programme. we had about 300 scientific experiments. we looked at new materials. we investigated climate change. we observe live in sales. we worked in cancer

medication, to improve the treatment against cancer. we improved treatments against parkinson‘s and alzheimer‘s disease. we didn‘t plasma and quantum physics. and last but not least, we tested new technologies that will enable us to go further to mars. and speaking about the moon and mars, during this expedition on the basis, we completed about 3000 orbits around our planet, covering the distance between mood and earth 200 times over, forth and back. in addition to that, we also completed half an orbit around the sign up with all you guys together. i would like to thank my sole use crew, my friends surrogate and serena for a fantastic time up here. at the year on the international space station, not only you guys worked professionally and with a great attitude to make

this expedition successful, but in addition to that, you guys should such great attitude towards living up such great attitude towards living up here on the station, making this a great display of international cooperation. so thanks for that. at the same breath, i have to thank all of ourfamilies. the same breath, i have to thank all of our families. because they supported us during these six months up supported us during these six months up here and all the preparation time before and without that support, this mission would not have been possible at all. we know that you quys possible at all. we know that you guys actually have the hardestjob on this mission and we will never forget that. same goes for the mission teams. all the thousands of people down there who contributed to that mission to this fantastic project with what they have as the talent coming together and burning ina talent coming together and burning in a dedication. without would not be at all. a new crew... commander alexander gerst is handing over command before he returns to earth. he‘s a german astronaut

handing over to a russian. the new commander oleg kononenko has actually been on board the iss for a couple of weeks already. in the ceremony, a symbolic hatch tool key is handed to the new commander and a bell is rung. no sign of that yet. commander gerst tweeted earlier, "on thursday, i will hitch a lift on this satellite, coming back home as a shooting star. i will miss this place!" that is one of the views that he has as he orbits the earth. whilst in orbit, he‘s been tweeting pictures of the earth‘s surface as seen from space including the mouth of the amazon river and the almost featureless landscape of the australian outback, which he described as "one of the most interesting looking landscapes on our planet". well, as those of you and all strut it will know, there is an awful lot of red in the outback and that comes across if you are out in space too. we will keep an eye on what is happening, a handover of one commander to another seems to be

going very smoothly at the moment. speaking of hangovers, there is another one coming at matches are united. jose mourinho kicked out, the worst are to a season in 28 yea rs. we the worst are to a season in 28 years. we look over who might get thejob. the government has unveiled its new strategy on tackling household waste in england with the aim of protecting the environment and cutting pollution. plans include clearer recycling labels on foods and a deposit scheme for bottles, cans and disposable cups. our relationship with the stuff that we throw away is about to change, starting with new rules to end confusion over what can be recycled and what can‘t. jess allen is not sure what goes in which rubbish bin. sometimes you follow the rules,

but is the cap able to be recycled, all parts of it? the government strategy aims to make it easy for people to recycle. scientists say we are all using too much of the planet‘s resources, buying stuff and then throwing it away. that, in turn, generates greenhouse gases that are overheating the earth. here is one solution. if food waste is collected separately, it gives a stream of valuable gas and a load of soil fertiliser when rotted in a tank like this. ministers want all households in the uk to be offered a food waste caddie. we enable people to also deal with food waste, something which in the past we have been very bad at dealing with. fly—tipping will be tackled by tracking the movements of disposal companies with an electronic system. people will be directly affected by a deposit system for all sorts of drinks containers,

like this one be filmed in norway. machines give your money back when you recycle a container. environmentalists worry, too. some of these proposed changes will require new funding for people like the environment agency and local authorities, which have been quite hard hit with austerity measures. we can‘t just throw stuff away, because there is no such place as "away". this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: president trump agrees to shut down his personal charity after a lawsuit by the new york attorney general. she said mr trump used the foundation as a personal chequebook for his political interests. next, a story from benin city in nigeria. you can see it marked the air and

the south of nigeria. it was once a centre for the west african slave trade, but now has become an epicentre for migration. tens of thousands make their way there. it‘s where they go to start making their way up through the central migration route to europe and to what they hope is a better life. but many only make it as far as libya. and then some of them return. mayeni jones has been meeting some of them. this march is made up of returnees who have been repatriated by the nigerian government over the last year. they want to raise awareness about the dangers of the journey to europe, but they also want to remind society that since coming back, many of them are still unemployed, which was the reason why they left in the first place. and since coming back now, are you happy to be back? i am happy one side,

i am not happy on one side. i am happy because all my friends. but by the grace of god, i am back. iam happy. if i was there, the situation with my family, they will not be in the situation. give me good job. since i came up, nobody has given me work for anything. and since i came back, no work, no nothing. i have been trying to survive. even i don't even have a house to stay in. my sister, we had issues and she threw me out and ever since, it has not been easy. on monday, the president announced the government would soon be introducing a new migrant policy. but speaking to some of the returnees here,

they say what is needed more than ever is jobs. many months after returning, many of them are still struggling to find work and until the government can solve that problem, you may still see young nigerians trying to make it to europe. let‘s finish the show with the biggest sports story today. i suspect you know this already. manchester united have sacked jose mourinho. no great surprise — this has been the club‘s worst start to the season in 28 years. it‘s currently in sixth place in the premier league — 19 points from liverpool at this top. and liverpool beat united at the weekend, too. martin ziegler, chief sports reporter for the times points out... that could come in handy — mourinho‘s severence will cost more than £18 million. well over $20 million. earlier, i spoke to steffan powell from newsbeat about the timing of the decision to sack him.

just before the january transfer market with a could have invested more cash if they wanted to change things but they feel his abrasive nature and perhaps a breakdown of the relationship with the owners, the relationship with the owners, the fans and the players and they said they had up. i guess it is almost sort of acceptance from the board that this season is a bit of a write often the they will staff again fresh in the summer. but whoever takes over next in a get some time. they are still in the champions league. it is interesting but you are expecting maybe but not at this time of the year. they have made a bit of the hash of the post alex ferguson area. all the managers gone a quite a short period of time. some big hitters there. many have done well in the world cup, and i was ever any help is one of the most successful managers of the last 20 yea rs or successful managers of the last 20 years or so. where do they go next?

i think years or so. where do they go next? ithink in years or so. where do they go next? i think in the immediate future, they need someone to bring the club together. you can see angry fans after the matches. people in the border and disagree and they should try to bring a sense of unity which they were famed for four years and yea rs. they were famed for four years and years. so expect that next. also a lot of talk about changing the structure of the club. we see a lot and the premier league now, these directors of football. a european style of running the club. expect that to be introduced because he wa nted that to be introduced because he wanted all the power basically, like arsene wenger did at arsenal before. if you have not is one appointment but perhaps to appointments, a manager and a director of football. no names mentioned yet. come on.|j was on the fence there. if you are a totte n ha m was on the fence there. if you are a tottenham fact, you are pretty nervous right now. mauricio pochettino has had a pretty massive impact on the club. i would not be surprised if the make a big play for him. but the big names out there, one coming up time and time again

online today is descended in zidane. he won champions league a few times. that might be wishful thinking. he has proven himself to be really good manager as well as he performed on the pitch. but he is not maybe keen on the move to the uk so who knows about him and another one to think about him and another one to think about is a dark horse laurent blanc. he has managed in france at paris saint—germain. he is one that if you cannot bring zidane or pochettino to united mad. i am sure they will both keep those guys in north london. united mad. i am sure they will both keep those guys in north londonm it your neutrality the printer for mentioning ryan giggs? the wealth manager. he has a big job, focusing on the welsh side. i would not be surprised if they bring him in on an interim basis to finish off the year. there is talk of that because his cloak and is in norway it means he had time over the next few

months. you could argue that writing gigs is in a similar position. but welsh fans and a neutral welsh bands or not neutral welsh fans may think you need to be focusing solely on whales of the moment because he is a rough couple of months there. sort your problems out at home first, right, if i was not a neutral journalism of that is why my site. an epic about club management another time. objective to the last. thank you very much that they see you for watching. we will be back as usual tomorrow with the essential information on the world‘s big stories. goodbye. hello there. many had been asking is this christmas going to be a white one? my reply is how often do we get a widespread white christmas in the

uk, not often at all. this christmas looks like no exception to that trend. in the run—up to christmas, with that atlantic pressure looks fairly mild across the south with smells of wet and windy weather throughout this week. nothing too severe or disrupting which is good news for those who have travel plans later into the weekend. back to the here and now for wednesday, looks much quieter than what we had on tuesday. we have lost those gales but another blustery day the feeding in plenty of showers with hail and thunder across western areas and the best of the dry weather across eastern scotland and england. he will be a bit cooler across the board will be had through tuesday. on into thursday, low—pressure still with us but anchored to the northwest of the country. i think morgan gould western areas will see most of the showers. nor ireland, western scotland, maybe north west england. further shout should be generally drier but a few showers around and funny smells, too. again, temperatures at ten or 11 in the far

southin temperatures at ten or 11 in the far south in single figures in the north. typical this time of year. this next feature coming in on friday and could bring a more widespread wetter and windy or spell to central and southern parts of the uk. for northern ireland, much of england and wealth to be quite wet and windy through the morning with gusts of 40 or 50 mph and that will clear through to allow sunshine and showers and could be milder in the south on friday. 12 and 13 degrees and have a quad orfurther north and cooler. you kids in the milder air through the weekend and certainly on saturday affecting southern portions of the country. saturday not looking too bad the moment. looks fairly dry for many in the central and eastern areas with the most of any showers reserved for western areas. temperatures again on the mild side at 12 or 13 degrees. further north a bit quieter with a lighter wind and temperatures around 7—9d. that saturday whether in on into sunday,

the feature moving in off the line it will bring more unsettled again to central and southern portions again. it could be that this sunday is the wetter day of the weekend with outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, much of england and wales ina bit ireland, much of england and wales in a bit of uncertainty to have four north this will get. looks like scotla nd north this will get. looks like scotland could stay dry with sunny spells but further south wet at times and windy, especially close to the south coast. mild at ten or 11 degrees. these pressure charts in the days of the christmas, looking very changeable with low—pressure systems bringing wet and windy weather at times and staying fairly mild across the south. for the christmas week, it looks like we lose this area of low pressure and many of the computer models want to build in this big area of high pressure from the southwest. to its northern fly, there could be the chance of tiny pact isobars and stronger winds and one in front skirting the northern half of the country and further south of it more

settled. that is how we are thinking the christmas week shapes up. westerly winds and not especially cold anywhere. the further north you are, tighter isobars and strong winds and more unsettled and a further south, that area of high pressure with a chance they will be more settled. stay tuned. 3500 troops are put on standby to help maintain essential services in the event of a no—deal brexit next year. the cabinet activates plans to pump £2 billion into government departments to help them prepare in case the uk leaves the eu without a deal. letters are being sent to more than 100,000 businesses, warning them to make contingency plans. too late, say many. when are we likely to find out that the deal is on the table? i need to know tomorrow. i can‘t find out on the 28th of march that there‘s going to be a deal on the 29th of march — it‘s too late. also on the programme tonight: the manchester united manager, jose mourinho, is sacked after the club‘s worst ever start

to a premier league season. the players can‘t be blameless in all of this, because they have to still go out, whether they like the manager or not.
