the duke of edinburgh is recovering after being involved in a road accident near the sandringham estate in norfolk. buckingham palace say he was not hurt, and was able to walk away from the crash. it's thought he may have been travelling with close protection officers. well, this happened near the royal family's sandringham estate, on the a149 near the village of west newton. our correspondent sophie long has the latest. cars being taken away after an accident on the a149 at westmuton northbrook. close to the sandringham estate. the bbc has received this picture which is believed to show the immediate aftermath of the crash.

prince philip was driving the range rover, seen lying up turned on its side after a collision with another car. an eyewitness told the bbc they saw prince philip emerge, looking shaken, but able to walk to another vehicle which took him away from the scene. the duke of edinburgh has rarely been seen in recent months, having finally retired from official duties in august of 2017 at the age of 96. he was last seen in public with granddaughter eugenie's wedding there had been fears he wouldn't make the wedding of prince harry and meghan merkle, having undergone surgery for a new hip just weeks before.

but he was there, and walked unaided into saint george's chapel at saint windsor castle. throughout his life he has been a keen sportsman, and remains fiercely independent. despite being just months short of his 98th birthday, he still often seen driving around the sandringham estate. a statement was issued by buckingham palace this evening: a spokeswoman confirmed the duke was driving when the accident happened, and, she,added: "he saw a doctor as a precaution and the doctor confirmed he was not injured." the spokeswoman would not comment on who philip's passenger was, but it is likely the duke was travelling with one of the officers on protection duty. let's talk to our corresondent sarah campbell who is outside buckingham palace now. so, an accident in which thankfully the duke of edinburgh walked away. we are told he was uninjured. two other people suffered minor injuries. they contain incident but

will raise questions about it about the duke of edinburgh as lifestyle? indeed. i think when the statement was first released saying that he was first released saying that he was uninjured, i mean clearly that was uninjured, i mean clearly that was a huge relief to many people, understanding that the president involved in an accident. but when you see the pictures of the aftermath of the accident, and the damage to the range rover and to the other car involved, it's certainly clear that this was an incident of some magnitude. it must‘ve been frightening to be involved, and as we know from an eyewitness who is their who they say helped the duke out of the - he was was to we throughout day, throughout day, and throughout day, and - anotherughout day, and - another drovet the day, and we have another drove past the crash scene. around 340 she

saw a lot of blue flashing lights ahead. me and my son will echo my word that does not look good. 0bviously word that does not look good. obviously it looked quite smashed in. i'm quite amazed the duke is ok. looking at the pictures i'm sure it's a sentiment of the people could agree with. we have another one nicked from battling weight which is the sandringham estate of the what it was near the 149 —— which is near the sandringham estate. the other car was well into a hedge of the opposite side. there was debris in the road and lots of glass and other cars. some police cars some from the sandringham estate. clearly some surprise or people who saw it that it does not seem to be that anybody involved had any serious injuries, certainly the duke according to the

palace was seen by a doctor and that doctor did confirm that he did not suffer serious injuries. he was uninjured in fact according to the statement added to other in the other vehicle. what we go next? norfolk police were clearly involved. 0ne norfolk police were clearly involved. one would also expect that there will be an investigation at there will be an investigation at the find out what exactly happened and who's fault it was. he started by saying this will be and we need to question the duke's lifestyle. certainly on social media this evening there are people questioning whether a man of his age who is 96 should be driving on public roads is that i'm in the law as it spent at the moment according to the dvl

eight people over the age of 70 must renew their driving licence and reapply every three years, presumably of what is fit and well what is able to continue driving, and certainly for his age he is 97, he isa and certainly for his age he is 97, he is a man who is fit and well as far as we he is a man who is fit and well as faras we are he is a man who is fit and well as far as we are aware. many other young people have questions. certainly the news this evening is that the duke was driving a car, it was involved in an accident, and he is uninjured. sarah, for the moment many thanks. well a short time ago, i spoke to the royal biographer, hugo vickers, and asked him for his thoughts on the accident. well, first of all obviously very glad to hear that he is all right. secondly of course any kind of car accident at the age of 97 is likely to produce a shock which is not a

good thing, and of course if he was indeed at the wheel, he might well be told now that it is time to call ita be told now that it is time to call it a day and he will be very sensible about that obviously, because he's a wise man, but that would be a great infringement to his independence which he will not like which is not good news either way. you say that he would take such advice as a sensible person without he is also as nicholas was saying a particular character, and one assumes driving has been a part of his life. it certainly has, butjust a member he gave up flying planes before he needed to because he was scared that if something happened there would be a lot of questions about whether he should reply to point at the age of 48 or something like that. he does listen to these things. he is very sensible, and of

course if anyone is involved in a car accident you know, it is quite a frightening thing that he thought that he had lost concentration or something, or had seen somebody and you realise he is not up to it of course. that would be another reason why he would stop. a new date has been set for another vote on the prime minister's brexit plans, it'll take place in less than a fortnight. today the prime minister spent the day in talks in downing street with politicians from all sides, as she tries to find a brexit deal which will command support in parliament. but the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has refused to take part unless the prospect of "no deal" is taken off the table. he called the talks a stunt. a new plan is to be published on monday and mps will vote on it on tuesday the 29th of january. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg reports. there is reason to rush. they are meant to leave the european union meant to leavetheegrope-an union! more meant to leave'the'earapean uniani more 40 and meant to leave'the'earapean uniani geese

still has still agree- ”a, has still agree time , has still agree time you for ministers to for might think for ministerstofer ,, help sadly this is happening too late. i wish he had reached across the house much earlier. there is a deal remember. mps rejected it overwhelmingly on tuesday night. today, and all they charm offensive behind whitehall closed doors to try to lower allies and enemies on board. brexit supporters to fear of we“ deal is a trap seem talk mps m ps street mps backstop. street mps backstop. a street

mps backstop. a move is acknowledge the backstop. a move is vital for the northern ireland's acknowledge the backstop. a move is vitalfor the northern ireland's mps to support number ten needs. we want to support number ten needs. we want to see a withdrawal agreement that works for the entire united kingdom and the european union and the way to do that is to acknowledge the backstop. the scale of the debate on tuesday night allows the prime minister to take tuesday night allows the prime ministerto take a tuesday night allows the prime minister to take a very clear message to the european union around that issue. but like anything demanded in the prime minister bosma studied, that is a lot easier said than done. —— prime and's study —— prime minister's study... we made it very clear that the government has to rule out no deal, that is the first that that they have to take. secondly, the prime minister needs to change her red lines. if they roll out no deal that doesn't the uk lose on bargaining pattern for the rest of the negotiations?” lose on bargaining pattern for the rest of the negotiations? i think the damage that no deal would do

would be so huge to manufacturing industry, but also to our policing and security that is really important that we will keep urging her to do so. have they suggested any compromises? now. ruling out leaving the eu would cause a frenzy. the government would have to change the law. this is an urgent situation. no one can be sure to find a way out. this is far from an ordinary day in whitehall. the prime minister and her team are meeting an encyclopaedia of mps with multiple different ideas for brexit, but if she truly hopes to get something eve ryo ne she truly hopes to get something everyone in parliament can sign up to, there is someone rather bored and who's just not here. despite now repeated invitations from the prime minister, jeremy corbett is refusing to talk unless she makes that big move. no-deal brexit is actually the most dangerous and damaging thing to out most dangerous and damaging thing to our country and our society, so i

asked the prime minister again, and she may listen, prime minister simply do this. take it off the table. some labour mps say refusing to talk that was wrong, but those in the guest list and they have told me that the government and their opponents both need a way to save face. the prime minister has been having plenty of meetings from people across the political spectrum forming a genuine offerforforeign mps and political party leaders to come and have conversations with her and see if we can get to the point for a negotiated deal that delivers on the referendum. but another day and here with no solution when there are few left to spare. now all is not quite lost. there are plenty of mps who are desperate to move forward who do want to help theresa may find a solution, butjust try forward who do want to help theresa may find a solution, but just try to please people who love brexit and at the same time try to please people who hate brexit busstop this is what one former minister described to me today as an almost impossible task

with hardly any time left it sometimes feel like teresa mae is trying to make two plus two equals five. let's speak now to the labour mp, ben bradshaw, who is a supporter of the people's vote campaign for another referendum. thanks very much for talking to us on the bbc news. have you been called in to talk to the premise there? not called in, buti called in to talk to the premise there? not called in, but i have been invited with a group of other members. we delivered the same message that was delivered which is the government has got to take no deal off the table. we also said that they have got to suspend or extend article 50 and request an extension because there is a bit of time. whatever happens, and we also called on them to start making preparations for a public vote to get us out of this crisis. how hopeful are you that any of this will be really acted on?|j

hopeful are you that any of this will be really acted on? i am very hopeful. i've always been hopeful that we can either get a much less damaging brexit than the one proposed in the government now failed withdrawal agreement. we are feeling that we could secure another public vote or whatever the outcome was, i think there is a principal argument for having a public vote given that the outcome is so different for the brexit that was sold to the british people in 2016, but clearly if we can't reach an agreement on anything, in parliament remained gridlocked than it was the only way out would be to have and give this decision back to the british people. you say you are hopeful and get the prime minister said yesterday loudly that brexit will happen on march the 29th why does that give you any room for hope? she does need to do something about that and she can't keep pretending that up the worst defeat

in the british government and political history that something is changed. but i note sheet is not say anything publicly but i am confident that there is a majority in parliament or there will be a majority wants these stages have been gone through for any decision to be given back to the british people, but the prime minister and the government have to facilitate that discussion, and if they won't parliament will ensure that that happens anyway. while members of your party are speaking to the prime minister, but one key figure as laura pointed out wasjeremy corbett. doesn't he have to give way as well if there's going to be a compromise? well, this standoff certainly has to end, but labelled and german corbyn is right that the

parameter must take no deal off the table. we're just wasting time at the moment and we're losing time. —— jeremy corbyn... we know cabinet ministers would resign and bring the government out of necessary if she was pursuing no deal, so it's a ridiculous standoff she can and tonight by taking no deal of the table. but german corbyn good ended tonight —— jeremy corbyn could end it tonight. what conditions are preventing that? she is sticking to her red lines and having suffered the worst political debate in british history, and any normal circumstances she would resign but she has not. she has to show that she has not. she has to show that she is willing to be flexible, and there's almost unanimity against no deal. parliament will in any case next week, so to unlock these cross party talks, she has got to take it

off the table if she is sensible and if she really wanted to show what is it she would. what do you think that jeremy corbyn is achieving right now but not meeting with the prime minister? i think he is really expressing a view that is held... 0h i'm so sorry. she has got to change her red line. hello? ben bradshaw go ahead. she is making the point that she has to show flexibility. it is the point that many of her own cabinet and mps agree with, and we have to get this nonsense of no deal of the day was meeting talks can ta ke of the day was meeting talks can take place. ben bradshaw very good to talk to. we lost you there for a quick second but we got back in her due. many thanks for your time. the headlines on bbc news...

the duke of edinburgh has been involved in a road traffic accident with another vehicle. buckingham palace says he was not injured. a new date, another brexit vote, as senior politicians from a range 14512? 2§iflas§ assess: ': :: g f sport now...and for a full round up, from the bbc there aren't many sports that take athletes past three o'clock in the morning but that was exactly the scenario in melbourne... asjohanna konta's second round match at the australian open went right into the early hours. unfortunately the late night ended in an early exit, with defeat by garbine muguruza. as adam wild reports. just stepping onto the court this

was a little piece of history. this is the latest art to imagine the australian open. ben bradshaw —— gabrine muguruza broke early chasing the first set. concentration now key, here konta a letter mind to wander to the creature on the court. an act of aggression accident or otherwise countered by konta for the british number one taking the place and sticking it to a third set. a compelling contest deserving of a big audience. the match, they could get started now just wouldn't finish past three in the morning eventually konta crumbled. gabrine muguruza late show under the moment lights of the last brick finally went out.

i think ideally both of us want to play early and this is no one's ideal schedule to play in the wee hours of the morning, but again we don't make the schedule u nfortu nately, don't make the schedule unfortunately, and we both dealt with the same challenge. things were far easier and far earlierfor the 7—time winner serena williams, she's through to the third round, breezing past eugenie bouchard 6—2 6—2. world number one simona halep is also through with a narrow win over sofia kenin. there was a scare for germany's alexander zverev. the fourth seed held off jeremy chardy‘s fightback to win in 5 sets after chardy had come from 2 sets down to force the decider. zverev finally secured match point at just after midnight local time and will face wild card alex bolt in round 3. co—captain dylan hartley has been left out of england's training squad

for the six nations, which inclues four uncapped players. but not the injured chris robshaw orjonathanjoseph. northampton hooker, hartley, hasn't played since late december because of a knee injury and head coach eddiejones has revealed he will miss at least the opening match against ireland in dublin at the start of next month.. at the start of next month. we have ta ken we have taken a completely different approach specifically focusing on the ireland game, so we're only taking place and we're not taking any longer. dylan is not going to be available for ireland, at the outside may beat wales, but we're looking at we have had a good discussion on that. we have taken rob to portugal for the same reason, so we will allow him to rehab and get himself right, and then hopefully get some action be available for selection thursday. to cricket, and england have called

up fast bowler mark wood to their squad for the three tests in the west indies after fellow pace bowler 0lly stone was ruled out through injury. wood played the last of his 12 tests back in may of last year and is expected to arrive over the weekend. the first test in barbados begins on wednesday. that's all the sport for now. don't forget you can watch live coverage of the second quarter final at snookers masters tournament between luca brecel and ding junhui now on the bbc sport website or via the red button. earlier ronnie 0'sullivan beat ryan day to reach the last four, but that's all the sport for now, more in sportsday at 10.30. hitachi is suspending work on a=multi billion pound nuclear power station in north wales, putting thousands ofjobs at risk. rising construction costs have put the future of the site at wylfa on anglesey in doubt.

hitachi is suspending work on a multi—billion pound nuclear power station in north wales, putting thousands ofjobs at risk. rising construction costs have put the future of the site at wylfa on anglesey in doubt. about 9000 workers were expected to be involved in building two nuclear reactors, which were due to be up and running by the mid 2020s. it puts the uk's nuclear policy under fresh scrutiny, as our correspondent theo leggett reports. this was the plan, a brand—new state—of—the—art power station a flagship for the government nuclear strategy. it would provide enough energy for 5 million homes, but now horizon has pressed the pause button because it is not clear where the money will come from and how much the government to pay. it's not a good feeling you this morning about but we are confident of our partners have worked very hard to try to get the best deal possible in the time it was available, and that was impossible without discussions will continue. the new plants would have been built here alongside the existing nuclear power station which closed in 2015. hundreds of potential jobs are at closed in 2015. hundreds of potentialjobs are at stake is the local counsellors say today's news

was deeply worrying for the local community. here in we're still determined to see this project come to fruition. is the uk government going to back the strategy or change it? is a crucial stage. the government insist it was ready to provide a third the funding, but talks still broke down. it is now struggling to turn the vision for a new fleet of nuclear reactors into reality. 0ne new fleet of nuclear reactors into reality. one new plant is currently under construction but plans for another at more site in cumbria was scrapped last year. —— moorside in cumbria it was scrapped last year. industry experts say that main problem for new nuclear projects as they are extremely expensive. companies don't want to provide all of the funding while the government is reluctant to commit to much taxpayer money either. the

government i think needs to come up with a model which makes it possible for investors to come in and financed the new nuclear plants. something needs to happen quickly or the gap between our retiring stations and our ability to build new ones will get large. the government says it remains committed to the nuclear sector, but insist any new project must provide value for money, but unless a new way can be found to fund them, the new the future for new nuclear schemes in the uk is looking bleak. adam vaughan is the guardian's energy correspondent and he has been following the story closely. he isjoining us now. adam, where do you think this leaves the government nuclear policy? there is no getting around is terrible news for the uk government energy strategy is that it is really having patterson meltdowns, —— tatters and

meltdowns. this effectively the cancellation of the of two deals because it was trying to build another one in gloucestershire so we had three plants falling apart in the space of about two months, to give a context how important that is the three paths alone would provide about 50% of the uk's electricity supplied without it is bad news for the country and wales. you say talking about the scheme being cancelled, it has been suspended. it does that mean there's any chance it will be revised ? does that mean there's any chance it will be revised? they did use the word suspended, but i think you should use the word scrapped. they spent £2 million of this project, andi spent £2 million of this project, and i think they're going to have the write that off to my understanding is they would take

around and the company will be wound down. it should take about two years to build a back—up is that it is very ha rd to to build a back—up is that it is very hard to see despite the warm words about 75’ the ' words about hitachi of the government " words about hitachi of the government it's " words about hitachi of the government it's hard to = this being reborn. - from project being reborn.£xaxil1fmne your point of view why project being reborn.£xaxil1fmne your poii government - why project being reborn.£xaxil1fmne your poii government attempts ‘hy project being reborn.£xaxil1fmne your poii government attempts to have the government attempts to build these nuclear power stations, why have they effectively failed? build these nuclear power stations, why have they effectively failed ?|j think it's a simple answer, money. the business of terry told mps that they offer the company and described significant and generous protest the business minister —— the business minister told mps that they offered the company and described significant and generous protest... i think this tells us that nuclear

is very expensive and there is an argument that the most costly even though we needed. what is happening is nuclear has been outcompeted by renault. that is his words. and so the question still remains than about what this means for the country's energy needs for the double line. that's right that the question now is to redouble our effo rts question now is to redouble our efforts and major nuclear does work? so they may still have and it's still a possibility, but the question is do we prevent the something else. due a massive expansion of wind farms and solar farms and other things like imports and batteries to take on some of the slack. 0k, thank you so much adam. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello there. we have some wintry showers today across northern and eastern parts of the country.

some heavy snow across the northeast of scotland. ridge of high pressure building in though tonight, means things will be fine dry, and cold tonight, once again this weather system will bring thickening cloud, more breeze and outbreaks of rain far west, so could not quite as cold but elsewhere clear skies light winds are going to bring light widespread frost. we have a risk of ice again across eastern areas where we had the winter showers falling through the day. temperature wise well below freezing in most places across the north and east, but not so cold for the west because the weather front, which will continue to move very slowly eastward into friday bring quite a wet day in fact, and can see a little bit of sleet and snow down to lower levels as well, but mostly we will be in the higher ground. because the weather front, which will continue to move very slowly eastward into friday bring quite a wet day in fact, and can see a little bit of sleet and snow down to lower levels as well, but mostly we will be in the higher ground. sunshine across the north and east of the country but again it's going to be another cold one. we head on into the weekend and it looks like it was a quite chilly. we could see a little bit of rain, sleet and snow

on the hills on saturday. sunday looks like being the better day, with more sunshine around. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the duke of edinburgh has been involved in a road traffic accident with another vehicle. buckingham palace says prince philip, who's 97, was driving at the time close to the sandringham estate, but was not injured. a new date, another brexit vote, as senior politicians from a range of parties hold talks with the prime minister to try to find a way forward. mps will cast their votes again in 12 days' time. but, in a letter, jeremy corbyn has urged labour mps not to engage with the government until a no—deal brexit is taken off the table. thousands ofjobs at risk as the japanese firm hitachi suspends work on a multi—billion pound nuclear plant on anglesey. the defence arguments get under way in the trial of the police officer in charge during the hillsborough disaster. and scientists say we must eat more greens and far less red meat to make us healthier and to protect the planet. and the london state school that

secured 41 0xbridge offers. we'll be talking to the school's director of sixth form shortly. more now on the road accident involving the duke of edinbrugh. prince phillip is recovering after being involved in a crash near the sandringham estate in norfolk. buckingham palace says he was not hurt. more details have emerged in the last few minutes from norfolk police. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell is here. just bring us up—to—date with everything that has happened. this was about 3:30pm in the afternoon. the duke was driving the royal range rover and was on the 8149 near sandringham and was pulling out of a driveway onto a paved road, a busy

road one presumes, when this accident happened. it was not clear if there was actual physical contact with another vehicle. the royal vehicle, the range rover or whatever it wasn't what went on to the driver's side, so although they do have not been hurt, it cannot have been easy to get him out of the vehicle and witnesses who contacted the bbc said they help to get him out and got him out conscious but very shocked. the two people in the other vehicle were treated for minor injuries at the scene. i do not think that any of them went to hospital. the duke was taken back quite quickly to sandringham house where he has been staying with the queen since christmas where he was checked by a doctor and was found not to have suffered any injuries despite being just five months short of his 98th birthday. but i'm sure he will be in considerable shopko cc the photograph of the vehicle on its side, a heavy vehicle turned on its

side, a heavy vehicle turned on its side, not an entity of the camp road accident and quite a bit of force and velocity involved and all of that. but fortunately, nobody injured and the others suffered minor injuries but i think it will raise minor questions and would imagine that both the duke and the queen will be pondering whether it is sending unappropriate message and clearly very ugly people like to have their —— do not —— very elderly people do not like to have their freedom curtailed but i would've thought he might have been thinking and what mercifully did not happen. but it could so easily have been, one might suppose that his driving career at least on public roads should now be curtailed. he drives a lot within the estate, windsor and it sending him, and basically drove president barack 0bama and michelle

0bama around windsor when they visited in 2016. but there it is. but no serious injury, but nonetheless i would have thought quite a shock to a person of any age, and certainly to a seven—year—old. age, and certainly to a seven-year-old. we have eyewitnesses who said he appeared to be very shocked, do we not? i want to bring in more detail that we have from norfolk police, which is of the female driver in the fema passenger in the car involved in the collision with it everett were treated in hospital and were taken to hospital. we were told they had minor injuries. those were treated in hospital. and just a bit more really about the duke of edinburgh, 97 as you say, he is known to drive around in sandringham and windsor. he retired from rule engagements and public life in effect in 18 months ago with that ceremony with the

marines in 2017. we have not seen an awful lot of him since then, occasional appearances, most recently at the wedding of princess eugeniae, because he did not appear in church on christmas day but he remains active, if not busy, active. despite his age him he is in pretty robust physical and mental health. and he certainly pursues his passion for carriage driving, horses and all that sort of thing, both at windsor and sandringham. he is sick and some notable troubles from those carriages that she has taken some of notable troubles from —— tumbles from those carriages. nothing serious and thankfully nothing serious and thankfully nothing serious today. indeed, all right, many thanks. we can speak now to catherine, who witnessed the accident. thank you very much forjoining us

here on bbc news. tell us what it was you saw. when i drove past, i drive on that road quite often, it was i was driving past and there we re was i was driving past and there were quite a few flashing lights ahead. near the scene of the accident, where it was, and as i drove past the thing that struck us really was a black four by four on its side, which may myself and my son quite shocked to see that really and thought oh that looks quite significant. obviously i was trying to keep my eye on the road and just keep going. but was a bit worried about who had been in the car but not knowing that it was the duke of edinburgh. he did not see that he was in the car? no, i did not see anything. my son with me but he did not see who was in there. there were

a lot of police around and that is all he really saw, quite a big police presence, really. that area, is there quite a lot of traffic on the road? to be honest, this time of year, it is not too bad although actually sort of school pick—up time around the time it happened so it can be quite busy. obviously it's a busy road in the summer, people going to the coast but not so much at this time of year, really. when this happened at around 3pm in the afternoon, which is often a busy time. that's right, yeah. the first thing i did think was was concern for the city of who is in the car and hoping it was not somebody from and hoping it was not somebody from a school pick—up. just so glad the duke of edinburgh was uninjured from what i saw. we are indebted to you for your time up. thank you very much. nick cobb was an eyewitness

to the duke of edinburgh's crash this afternoon. he's been explaning what he saw. bring the daughter back from taking pictures and a couple of cars coming towards us flashed headlights and the first vehicle we saw was a ce ntre the first vehicle we saw was a centre him estate discovery police car, with flashing lights and quite a bit of debris on the road. we had to move to the centre of the road and go pass slowly. saw a range rover on his side and a car in the hedge. six or eight ordinary cars, people all helping and beyond that, animal police car with lights going and directing traffic. did you see anybody coming out of the vehicles? no, they were all milling around, i could not tell if he was in the vehicle at that point. i suspect probably end but i could not know. did you know it was the duke of edinburgh? i had no idea. my

daughter said it's a range rover, we do not have to worry. the fact that it was a ranger probably helped. he was on his side, they are a big strong vehicle. can you explain what it looked like and we just ascribe that to me. it was on its driver side, his side to the payment as it we re side, his side to the payment as it were and it was quite a bit of a broken glass and plastic in the road so we had to drive in the centre of the road. and lots of emergency services. at that point, no, just the one it sandringham police car and want regular car. no evidences at that point. let's speak to katie nicholl, royal correspondent at vanity fair. a lot of talk this evening about prince philip, the fact that he is 97, that he was driving on a public road. what do you think this is going to mean for him? anyone that

knows the duke of edinburgh will knows the duke of edinburgh will know that this is not a man who lives to be told what to do, whether he is 97 or not, and i think it is going to race and quite serious questions about whether he should be doing this sort of driving. the duke loves to drive. he used that word freedom and that is so very much the case. he enjoys more than anything else being able to drive his land rover around the estates of balmoral and it's an argument. it is one of life's great pleasures for him and yes he has retired and yes he turns 98 this year, but he is not going to slow down. he is incredibly active, he is incredibly robust. but listening to those eyewitnesses looking at that shocking picture of the wreck, the lemon flipped on its side, the fact that he needs to be helped out of vehicle. he was travelling with a protection officer, fortunately no serious injuries but it has got to be a look—up call. i am not saying it is going to be the case that the duke

of edinburgh stops driving but possibly he would not be driving unnecessarily on major roads and perhaps i'll be sticking now to private roads and royal estates.|j suppose that is it precisely that he was ina suppose that is it precisely that he was in a public place. and of course thank goodness the two women in the car were not majorly injured. but the passenger, an arm injury and they were both discharged. it could have been an awful lot worse. you have been an awful lot worse. you have spoken about how he is a determined character, he is well known for being independent and a forthright person. he will though presumably during his life have had to a cce pt presumably during his life have had to accept certain limitations to the way in which he lives and it may be this is now a time where he has to accept that there may be some curtailment of what he can do.|j curtailment of what he can do.” expect so. and i think anyone at that age him but you are really

about some of the things you can do an agejust about some of the things you can do an age just catch up with you. however for a robust you an age just catch up with you. howeverfor a robust you may an age just catch up with you. however for a robust you may be. an age just catch up with you. howeverfor a robust you may be. i think anyone would have would have been more worried that her majesty the queen, who is informed of the crash by telephone call i was kept informed until the duke was back at her side safely and shipped over as a precautionjust to her side safely and shipped over as a precaution just to ensure that he was completely fine, which he is. and we wish him a very speedy recovery but as with all these things, it shakes you up and that crash would have taken him up and it would have shaken her majesty the queen up and i think there is one person who probably can't convince them to just scale back any driving that he does not need to do in that would be her majesty the queen. the wife is always right. thank you very much indeed. the headlines on bbc news: the duke of edinburgh has been involved in a road traffic accident with another vehicle. buckingham palace says he was not injured. a new date, another brexit vote, as senior politicians from a range

with the government until a no—deal brexit is taken off the table. an update on the market numbers for you, here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states, this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. the barrister representing david duckenfield has made his opening remarks in defence of the hillsborough match commander. ben myers qc told the jury at preston crown court that the former chief superintendent has been unfairly singled out for prosecution and that many other people and factors played a part in the disaster. david duckenfield denies the gross negligence manslaughter of 95 liverpool fans. judith moritz reports. two versions of david duckenfield were offered to the jury today. the prosecution said his failings were extraordinarily bad. his defence argued that he's been

unfairly singled out for blame. he ran the operation from this police control box. the'eaart'hear’a aetiee faaie as the crowd built up outside the ground, one officer warned, "it's bloody chaos in leppings lane, thousands can't get in". another is heard to say, "seriously, open the gates, open the gates". having allowed more than 2000 fans to pour in through an exit gate, the court heard that mr duckenfield didn't stop them from going towards the already full terraces. the prosecution say that minutes later it should have been obvious to him that a major incident was unfolding, but he did nothing. the jury heard that the pens where the crush happened were a scene of horror.

survivors described being swept down the tunnel. one said his feet didn't touch the ground. he was pushed towards the front of the pen as if on roller—skates. then there was no room to move, and survival was a narrow margin of fate. the life was crushed out of 96 men, women and children. defending david duckenfield, ben myers qc said it was natural to look for someone to blame, but that sympathy for those who suffered was not a reason to convict. mr duckenfield denies gross negligence manslaughter. the trial is expected to last four months. judith moritz, bbc news, preston. a state school in east london is celebrating after 41 of its students, almost all of them from minority ethnic backgrounds, secured offers to study at the universities of oxford and cambridge later this year. brampton manor academy

in newham opened its sixth form in september 2012. two—thirds of the students who have a conditional place at the prestigious universities would be the first in their family to attend university, and half have been in receipt of free school meals. with me is sam dobin, the head of sixth form at brampton manor academy. congratulations. we are bursting with pride, they have worked so hard and it is great scene and get these offers. how have you done it? is not one thing. it is about the staff, the coordinator who spends time working with students on a personal statements, like a father figure to them. they had teacher who makes decisions to put students first and teachers teaching them. because the

stu d e nts teachers teaching them. because the students have a place in cambridge because they have grades better than last year. that hard work day in and day out supporting students has got us day out supporting students has got us to this point. i think you mentioned earlier that you start them young. we do. it cannot be done overnight. it is a day by day aspiration. students coming in at 811 and we say look, this is where you go and start being curious. this is the museum, look at all the things on offer to you and develop a love for reading, a love for learning and knowledge and that comes over time. it may for the time they get to the age of 16, they are confident and they are bolder ready to go into the world and not be put off by walking be a daunting experience at a cambridge interview. and they are already inspiring to that. comfortable they should apply there. success breeds success because a look at older students and think that could be me. we celebrate that success all around our school

and they look up at the board of stu d e nts and they look up at the board of students who have gone there before and think they can be me and it is that self belief that we are trying to encourage. if you have able stu d e nts to encourage. if you have able students he can believe in them, it is easy, really. a marker of success 0xford is easy, really. a marker of success oxford and cambridge, you have others who are also going to go on good higher education. of course. we a lwa ys good higher education. of course. we always say you aim for the movement of stars on the way up. if you not get a place at oxford and cambridge they are the best places for every course, a mechanical engineer might be better but an artist, there are better places to be for some aim for the best you can be. we are proud that it the best you can be. we are proud thatitis the best you can be. we are proud that it is notjust about 0xford the best you can be. we are proud that it is notjust about oxford and cambridge, almost all of our stu d e nts cambridge, almost all of our students go to university. we have the highest rate of sin he gives university of any academy in the country. that matters to us because that ability only happens if you have a good degree. other schools will look at you and say what are we not doing that they are doing. lots

of schools are doing it. we are a large school, there are schools or small that will not have the same numbers but still be doing amazing things. my key thing is replicate a bow, believe the students. i think that schools do but never ever set limits on what they can achieve because we think if you believe in your students and tell them to believe in themselves, the rest sort itself. and how the students themselves feel? nervous, they are excited and happy for each other. when one gets an offer, they are all screaming for each other is celebrating. but i think that now the reality sets in that they have to meet the offer conditions. indeed. very good luck to them and thank you very much for coming in, thank you very much for coming in, thank you. now, there've been more recommendations on the ideal diet. we should eat far less red meat, no more than the equivalent of a beef burger a week. we should double the amount of fruit and vegetables we consume and dramatically cut down on sugar and dairy products. that's what a group of scientists has come up with as a way of making us healthier,

feeding a growing worldwide population and protecting our environment. here's our science editor david shukman. and some of what we eat — especiay a je. he f in mea. - can damage the'environn'rent,. so what's the answer? ”a: a eiieefleafle "w" kay mangelschots. she says the key is flavour, not quantity. so you use a small amount of lamb or chicken and you can get... the impact is just as tasty. so you get the flavour of the meat without using too much of it. yeah, and i think six or seven small cubes on your plate is ample. a major new report confirms this, saying these things should make up our daily diet of less meat and more veg. it's really surprising when you see just how little the report recommends that we eat every day, and here are some of the key suggestions. it says no more than 14 grams of red meat a day, that's this little tiny piece here. no more than 13 grams of egg.

that isn't a whole egg, it's just a quarter of one. now for whole grains, it says we should have 232 grams — we've represented that with this rice and these rolls. and for veg, they say 300 grams a day but it's got to be colourful. red, green and orange. the authors reckon that if we all stick to this diet, it will be not only good for our health but also good for the planet. beef, in particular, has an impact because when cattle burp they give off the gas methane, which adds to global warming. growing feed for cattle takes a lot of land and water, and eating too much meat can lead to heart trouble and obesity. the challenge outlined in the report is how to feed a global population of 10 billion by 2050, and prevent the 11 million premature deaths each year because of bad diet. in north america, for example,

people eat six and a half times more meat than is recommended. but switching to the new diet won't be easy. how practical is this for, let's say, a single parent with a busy life and lots of kids? virtually impossible, i would say, because very often, firstly, this depends on really good home cooking and on planning. if you're feeding your children on instant food, impossible. the implications of what we choose to eat, both for ourselves and for the planet. david shukman, bbc news. a 35—year—old british endurance runner has raced into the record books after becoming the first woman to the win a 268—mile non—stop race along the pennine way from derbyshire to the scottish borders. jasmin paris completed the course in 83 hours, 12

a very good evening to you. good evening. how do you view the task ahead of you? it's a big task. i am not complacent about that. i am getting older and older and there are getting older and older and there a re really getting older and older and there are really talented young girls coming through in the country but i feel like it is a realistic challenge. it is something that could be possible and really it is all underpinned by my absolute love of running. i think if you love doing something, you want to keep doing something, you want to keep doing it. and of course, you hear about what she has been achieved after becoming a mother and to me, having two young children, i feel so happy i have that balance in my life. it has made me really be able to achieve things maybe i thought we re to achieve things maybe i thought were not possible before. i like having a challenge and try my ha rd est having a challenge and try my hardest and if i do not achieve it, i certainly will have enjoyed a journey along the way. you have set various benchmarks during your career as it is. you are the oldest

woman to win a european championship gold, in 2014, you were 40 and that is 11 months after giving birth, so you enjoy a challenge. yet, i enjoy andi you enjoy a challenge. yet, i enjoy and i think what i love about running is being able to be active with family and that is making me so motivated. when i became a mother, i did not know how it would work. parties him a plate it can being a mum and what it would be. then i realised i could have a great quality family time by keeping active together but all going to the forest and me doing my run and the kids on bikes or going to the canal, and we have fun keeping active as a family. i think it is great to be able to show your children it is fun to be active and have that to be active and havethathealthy and to be active and bavethatrbealtby and ican achieve lifestyle and anything i can achieve is also from pure is also coming from the pure enjoyment of having it. but i enjoy

the challenge of trying to achieve gold but i know it is a big challenge and i am not complacent about that so i really want to give itago about that so i really want to give it a go and see what happens really. so what would you be aiming to do thenit so what would you be aiming to do then it when you get to the championships in december? how do you view the task? i think the thing is my massive goal is to try and achieve a six 0lympic is my massive goal is to try and achieve a six olympic games. the trials in an olympic year are going to be the most important thing but really qualify ideally is a two—year process because of course however well you run in 2019, you still have to perform in the olympic year but the qualifying time can be achieved this year, the qualifying window. so it really is ideally a situation to try and achieve a qualifying time this year and of course if i achieve that and did well in the trial, i would love to compete in delhi later

in the year. it is all part of a harder goal of making the olympics the year after, but yes i am trying to pull out all the stops and to try and achieve the qualifying time and hopefully try to run well at the trials and yes, i would love to be on the team again this year. but really, i have had so many wonderful experiences in my running career and met something amazing people, it is a lwa ys met something amazing people, it is always an honour to represent the country and always worth the try and i have had a great time and i enjoyed the banter with all my younger team—mates. they really inspire me with all their enthusiasm. so it is always an amazing experience to take part in and just enjoy everything that running brings. i love being part of the community and what comes after that does not so much people, whether it is running or everything, it isa whether it is running or everything, it is a great thing to be part of andi it is a great thing to be part of and i love it. your enthusiasm shines through and we wish you all the best and thank you very much
