police in norfolk say they're investigating yesterday's car crash involving the duke of edinburgh — and that ‘any appropriate action‘ will be taken. prince philip, who is 97, is recovering at the royal family's sandringham estate, after the collision between his land rover and another vehicle on a busy a road. one eyewitness described the crash as ‘horrendous‘. police say a baby was in the other vehicle but was uninjured, while the driver and the other passenger in the car have now left hospital after treatment. there've been several serious accidents on the same stretch of road and today the local council approved plans to cut the speed limit there and introduce cameras. our royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. that's not good. that is where the duke's land rover ended up, on its side. still trying to get them out. images from the aftermath showjust how serious the crash was.

the other vehicle involved, a kia, contained two women and a nine—month—old baby. a passing motorist, who says he saw the land rover roll across the road, stopped to help. with another passer—by, we got the baby out and then i went to the other car, which was on its side. there was an elderly gentleman in there. i told him to move one of his legs which freed up room for the other leg. then i put my hands under his... arms and... helped ease him out backwards. and then i saw his face. i think he wasn't particularly concerned, but obviously, very shocked. in the circumstance, it was a horrendous accident. it's just amazing people were not seriously injured. the emergency services were quickly on the scene and the duke was taken back to sandringham house to be

checked by a doctor. he had no injuries. in the other car, the 28—year—old female driver suffered cuts to her knee and a 45—year—old woman suffered a broken wrist. the nine—month—old baby was uninjured. norfolk police said that both drivers passed a breathalyser test. the accident happened on the a149 which passes close by the sandringham estate, where the queen and duke base themselves over christmas until early february. it is a busy road and this morning, at a meeting planned before the crash, the county council agreed that the speed limit along this stretch should be reduced from 60 down to 50 mph. the 97—year—old duke, who retired from public duties a year and a half ago, has continued driving well iiltqhjsbqs... . past the age of 70, the driving

licence must be renewed every three years but retesting is not required. the incident has already prompted road safety groups to call for a tightening of the rules. it is business as usual today for the rest of the royal family. the duke's daughter, princess anne, was in lancashire this morning. your royal highness, how was the duke of edinburgh this morning? no idea, do you know where i am? the same place as you. the queen and the duke remain at sandringham, no doubt hugely relieved that neither the duke nor our correspondent helena lee, has been at the scene of the crash — and has this update. e515 i121 £51,115 iezii liglm ... l... 7. . 77. today the weather is somewhat different.

yesterday, we understand from talking to local residents that the sun was low in the sky, there wasn't as much cloud. one resident has told us that he was heading in that direction towards king's lynn, just moments before the duke of edinburgh had that crash. as he was driving, the sun was dazzling. in terms of the road itself it would have been similar yesterday. this is a very busy road, the a149. lots of cars going past us at the moment. now, if we just have a look down here. you can make out some of what is left, the debris from the accident. you can see some of the windscreen and there is a bit of a wing what we think happened yesterday was that the duke of

edinburgh was driving a land rover himself at the age of 97. we think he crossed over, tried to get across the a road and that's when he was in collision with another car. now, the police have given a few more details about the two women who were inside the other car. the driver, she had to go to hospital. she had cuts to her knees and her passenger was also treated in hospital. she had a broken wrist and they were discharged last night but incredibly, the duke of edinburgh, despite his land rover being tipped over onto its side, he didn't need to go to hospital. he was checked over by a doctor at the sandringham estate, some of which is in that direction there, and the doctor was satisfied that he wasn't injured at all. he, we understand, is now still recovering from the shock of three men who murdered five people, by causing a massive explosion

at a shop in leicester, have been jailed for life. aram kurd and arkan ali were each told they will serve at least 38 years in prison — while hawkar hassan was sentenced to a minimum of 33 years. our correspondent phil mackie is in leicesterfor us now. this is the road for the explosion happened last february. little further down is a line of shops and this is the makeshift memorial that regulate get fresh worries placed at it for the five victims. —— fresh flowers. sentencing them thejustice said none of them had showed any morse and were exceptionally callous and deceit. mac here is the report

and deceit. mac here is the report and a warning that the report begins with scenes of explosions. shortly after 7pm, a massive explosion in the basement of a shop. lts magnitude "width-3l it; they were 46—year—old mary ragoobar, her two teenage sons shane and sean, shane's girlfriend ‘s—eer—e'd les“. peel! — — ldon't “2!!! lee“: d%%l‘ ' '” .....

they deliberately caused the fire as part of a plan to profit from a false insurance claim. the first time in my life that i have got hate in my heart, the first time. what they have done is incredible. it is very hard to sit and see them. the youngest son ofjose, 15—year—old scotty, was the only one to survive the explosion after being pulled out of the rubble. every day i cry. i cried every day. because everything you do, you think of them. every single thing you do, you think of them. this empty space is a constant reminder of what happened last february on that

incredibly cold evening. this community still feels the shock of the fire, that resonated around this city. this was flawed with fatal consequences. the risk to life callously disregarded by the plotters. now starting long jail terms. we have life without leah. our sentence began on the 25th febraury. the rest of our life. many of those relatives of the victims, including the people you just seen in the report, went to the court today to seek the three men jailed for the lengthy life sentences. afterwards we heard a statement from the senior investigating officer from statement from the senior investigating officerfrom leicester lease. police. so much be

there is so families and loved ones. there is so much devastation, the families will never recover from their loss because of the callous actions of three men. they had no regard for human life, only one thing on their mind — get their hands on the money from the insurance. in december we got a statement that said, all ourdreams and in december we got a statement that said, all our dreams and futures got taken away. the victims did not deserve what happened to them. the mother of leah reek said there was a hole in their hearts which can never be filled but they do not want it to. her death has left them heartbroken and out of the hearing

leah reek‘s sister red statement on the steps of the court. while today's sentencing will not bring the ones we love so dearly back to us it has provided a degree of closure to us all. the last 11 months have been the worst months of our lives and sitting through the trial only added to our pain and heartbreak. but we will now try to move on as best as we can together, never forgetting those we love so much, who we will always think about with every passing day. a nice thing that has come out of the story, if there can be anything nice at all, is thatjoe the ragoobar —— that rwanda was a guest of leah reek‘s family this christmas, and there has been plans to turn this into a prominent memorial were at the vacant site of the shop was. it killed five lives and devastated not just the shop was. it killed five lives and devastated notjust to families but a whole community. the international trade secretary

liam fox says he is dependent, liam fox, has admitted that the a0 trade deals britain needs if it leaves the eu without a deal have not been finalised yet. with ten weeks to go before brexit, dr fox said the government was dependent on other countries to, in his words, "put in the work" to ensure the agreements are done by march the twenty—ninth. our business correspondent jonty bloom is here. what do these a0 d trade deals consist of? as part of our membership of the european union we have membership of these three trade agreements. the eu have a negotiated them with canada, south africa and other countries. it is just signed while with japan. liam fox that he would rule over these a0 or so trade agreements and they would be ready on the first minute of brexit but today he had two admit that we are reliant on the kindness of

strangers. we hope they will be but they are not just depending on the uk. our side is ready, it's largely dependent on what other countries believe that there will be no deal and willing to put the work into preparations. begging the question, what happens if these countries do not agree and we do not have the skills? —— we do not have the steel? we are not find a single one of these a0 get and we have not agreed them. if we do not agree on them, will relieve the appearance union we will be trading with these a0 countries on world trade organisation terms. that is not a disaster, the wto was set up to facilitate international trade but many companies came to the uk to ta ke but many companies came to the uk to take advantage of the single market which is considerably better than the beauty of terms and the european union has been negotiating the sporty trade agreements over many yea rs, sporty trade agreements over many

years, the better than w t all terms and we will lose that. —— better than wto terms and we will lose those terms. the headlines on bbc news... norfolk police are investigating the duke of edinburgh's car crash near sandringham yesterday, which left him shaken, but unhurt. 555.77}; £.:.!!.:.:.;.:'.;..:. 2.5 el£!.:..:'.:..;. in an attempted insurance scam. the international trade secretary, liam fox admits the government has not finalised trade agreements with a0 countries, less than three months until britain leaves the eu. in sport, defending champion caroline wozniacki is not out of the australian open, beaten in three sets by a resurgent maria cherub over. graphic the dell —— the dial is through to the court... kerber

to pay a premium for them. the list of these temporary prices is published every month. the bbc has analysed that data over the last three years. in england, there has been a sixfold increase in the number of medicines on the monthly list. in january 2015, there were 12 on it. the number started to climb in 2017, when it peaked at over 90. at the end of last year, there was a surge from a5 to 80. some of these drugs are among the most commonly prescribed. furosemide, which treats high blood pressure. fluoxetine, an antidepressant. and a widely used inflammatory, naproxen. it's awful. it's very difficult to describe to somebody, but it's depressing. you... on saturday, i literally could not sit still. i was crying. i actually managed to get some naproxen from a friend. they had some stockpiled and they very kindly offered me some.

i wouldn't be here today without that. some pharmacists say they are sending patients back to their gps to ask for a different prescription. others are giving as much of a drug as they can spare, and sending people away with iou notes for the rest. the advice for patients is that there is almost always an alternative. for patients, obviously it is concerning if the medicine is not available. and certainly, we'd advise patients to order the medicines in advance if they can do, in case there are any problems. it gives the pharmacists more time to deal with it. there are many possible factors explaining this, from increased global demand to problems with raw materials. ‘f . ' ' " n" "3 it may get worse, it may get better. the government says the vast majority of drugs are not in short

supply, but it is working closely with the industry to make sure patients get the medicines they need. and member experience at the royal pharmaceutical society. thank us. worried we be this? worried should we be about this? shortages have been part of the life of pharmacists for many years now. there has been availability and supply and patients have not seen this before because pharmacies have been dealing with this in the background. by mr —— pharmacists are continued to do this, to make sure that when patients cannot get access to the medicines they want on the day, they can still source medicines to keep people healthy and allow them to continue to access them. some people sleep exit might be a

cause of shortages but you think it is not the case? —— say except. cause of shortages but you think it is not the case? -- say except. no, i understand how it can be upsetting and distressing for patients to face such shortages but pharmacists, gps and medics across health care have been dealing with these issues for a number of years now, well before there was even talk of brexit. what are the root causes? is a conflict range of reasons. this is a global market and that means supplies may 7372. dry up market and that means supplies may 2 dry up and the market and that means supplies may $3? dry up - and the number of well dry up here and the number of people supplying some of these medicines have reduced over the last couple of years, which means if there is a shock in the system, say a fire there is a shock in the system, say afire in there is a shock in the system, say a fire in a factory producing a certain type of treatment, that might reduce supplies here and across the world as well. what kind of medicines are we talking about?

there is a port range, it is hard to predict. we have seen comment painkillers, treatments for blood pressure going out of stock but we can reassure patients there are a number of medicines that can do the same thing in reality. every speech to the pharmacist in partnership with the prescribe it they can get an alternative even if the drug is not available at the moment so we can reassure patients and their study without therefore the moment. so, you are saying brexit is not a factor but if there was a no—deal brexit, could this effect this? we work with many people to make sure we have as much impossible to make sure that regardless of which way brexit goes, we are doing everything we can to assure continuity of supply for patients. thank you. we

are hearing that president trump is meeting the north korean vice chairman of the north korean's working party today at about now. the meeting in the oval office to discuss relations between the united states and north korea, and continued talks on north korea's final and fully verifiable denuclearised they should come according to the white house press secretary. more on that as it comes into us. the government's financial watchdog has warned that the long term plan to improve the nhs announced last week could be threatened by growing waiting lists and staff shortages. the national audit office says it will also be difficult to make the nhs sustainable without a long—term funding settlement for social care. theresa may has been speaking to eu leaders about the future of her brexit deal.

the prime minister has to come forward with revised proposals by monday, after mps emphatically rejected her withdrawal plan earlier this week. lets go to westminster now and our political correspodent, jonathan blake. is there any progress as far as downing street is concerned with their attempts to come up with a plan b by next week? if it is we are not hearing about it to date after meeting mps from various different opposition parties yesterday, the prime minister has been holding meetings with her cabinet this afternoon. not as one, as a group but unusually, as a friday afternoon we have seen various ministers going in and out of downing street, on their own or in a peer. we told the prime minister they would be updating them on the discussions about bringing —— coming up with a

weekend. we had some cold air in place from the west and a mixture of rain, sleet and snow out there. much of the snow over high ground by the cube be some on the love of at least. through the night it stays generally cloudy. because of the extra cloud it will not be as cold as it was last night, immediate below freezing across some northern areas where there could be some icy stretches. tomorrow, a disappointing day with a lot of cloud, some outbreaks of patchy rain and maybe the odd leak of something wintry mixed and. there be some brightness and eastern england, best chance of sunshine from northern ireland. stays chilly as we go into ireland. —— stays chilly as we go into sunday. there is more weather in half an hour. this is bbc news.

the headlines. norfolk police are investigating yesterday's car crash involving the duke of edinburgh, which left him shaken, but uninjured. three men are sentenced to life in prison for the murder of five people following an explosion in a shop in leicester — in an attempted insurance scam. the international trade secretary, liam fox, admits the government has yet to finalise trade agreements medicines, including painkillers and anti—depressantsfl good afternoon.

we start with the main upset today at the australian open, and defending champion caroline wozniacki has been knocked out by maria sharapova. the five—time grand slam winner returned from a doping ban in april of 2017 — and has struggled with injuries since, but edged a tight third set to secure what she said was a "really rewarding" victory. i thought it was as usual i expected a physical match, didn't have to be, and in some ways, but it felt like in the longer rallies i did a great job of winning those, put a lot of pressure on her, and you know, those are the rallies i think many years ago that she used to win, and i thought i did a greatjob of getting

higher percentage of wins on and birthday girl angelique kerber thrashed australian wild card kimberly birrell 6—1, 6—0, injust 58 minutes. the former world number one turned 31 today. 2009 champion rafael nadal is through to the last 16. there was lots of support for his opponent though — 19—year—old australian alex de minaur. despite the backing of the home crowd, nadal won in straight sets. he'll play tomas berdych on sunday. i don't say i'm here to win the tournament, because you never know what's going on, the only thing i can say i won three good matches and now i have another tough opponent, he is playing great. he started the season as a very high level so it will be a big test for me, that is why i'm defending champion roger federer swept past american taylor fritz in straight sets, but it was a lot tougher for the sixth seed marin cilic. he came from two sets down and saved two match points in a fourth set tie—break before overcoming spain's fernando verdasco to reach the last 16. judd trump is through to the semi

finals of snooker‘s masters after knocking out world number one mark selby. trump will play either neil robertson and barry hawkins who meet this evening the opening two frames took more than an hour, but trump found his groove to sprint 5—1 ahead. fellow englishman selby pulled a frame back, but trump kept his cool in a battle of wits in a a0—minute eighth frame to ease through to saturday's semi. it was a bit of a nervy game in the end, i think, it was a bit of a nervy game in the end, ithink, a it was a bit of a nervy game in the end, i think, a few of the frames took a long time to win, it is a body blow if you lose after a0 minutes so if i nicked the long frames and my scoring is probably just a touch better as well, so, in the end west ham's marko arnautovic has been left out of their squad for tomorrow's match against bournemouth. rumours continue that he'll be moving to china for a fee of around 35 million pounds.

west ham have previously said that he's not for sale but yesterday, e5 f? in diifiéeé é'jfiéig ($335 until the end of the season, with an option to make the move permanent. niasse has only made seven appearances this season. he could be available for palace's league match at newcastle tomorrow. manager neil warnock has hit out at the rules surrounding loan players, saying the current system is detrimental to young players and national teams. i'm an pawing that legislation means we can only have two loan player, because i would have loved another english midfield player, to give him an opportunity, and i think it's such a waste where gareth southgate says we don't get enough games we have a rule i can bring ten in from

abroad and i can't bring another young english player, whether it be a full—back or midfield player, it is scandalous, i suppose they will look into that, because i think it's detrimental to the, to england really one more football story for you — rangers' scottish cup fourth—round tie away to cowdenbeath this evening has been postponed because of a frozen pitch. you can find more on that on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. that's all the sport for now. the aftermath of that crash involving the duke of edinburgh, we are hearing from buckingham palace that the duke of edinburgh visit hospital this morning, on doctors advice, for a precautionary check up, and that precautionary check up

confirmed that the duke of edinburgh had no injuries of concern, so buckingham palace just saying that the duke of edinburgh did actually go to hospital this morning, on the advice of his doctor, for a precautionary check up, and at hospital, it was confirmed that he had no injuries of concern. well n the wake of that collision yesterday... well n the wake of that collision yesterday... new safety measures are to be introduced on the road in norfolk where the duke of edinburgh was involved in a crash yesterday. the county council has approved a reduced speed limit to 50 miles per hourfrom 60 , on the a1a9 near the queen's sandringham estate. prince philip was unhurt when his land rover overturned after colliding with another car. police say a baby was in the other vehicle but wasn't injured and that the driver and the other passenger in the car have now left hospital. our correspondent daniel sandford has been speaking to eye witness roy warne who was driving home when he saw the car roll and end up

on the other side of the road. i saw isawa i saw a car somersaulting across the road from my right. it wasn'tjust sliding it was rolling, was it? yes, it was tumbling, it was turning over, when his left leg became free, moved, his right leg became free and he was able to turn over and at that, that was the first time i saw his face and i realised i was holding the duke of edinburgh and i said something to myself, something like blimey, but probably a bit stronger. yes, he walked away from his car, and asked if other people we re his car, and asked if other people were all right. so his immediate concern about that —— at that point seemed to be for the wellbeing of

people travelling... he was much more concerned about other people than himself. he mentioned that he was dazzled by the sun, which would have been directly in front of him from the direction of his travel. we can speak to roya nikkhah, royal correspondent for the sunday times — she's in our central london studio. the latest we are hearing is that the tutankhamun duke has gone to opt for a check up but confirming he had no injuries to worry about, but as eve ryo ne no injuries to worry about, but as everyone has been saying a fortunate escape. extraordinary escape. they don't call him the iron duke for nothing. we all assumed yesterday it was likely in the next 2a hours he would go to hospital. he is 97, that was a extraordinary collision, we saw the vehicle tumbled over and he would have been physically shaken by that, so i think precautionary check

that, so i think precautionary check that he did go to hospital, it is an interesting insight he did, because he is pretty stubborn, the duke of edinburgh, he doesn't like to make a fuss, the fact he followed advice perhaps shows you how shaken he was by the whole incident and may give us an by the whole incident and may give us an indication as to whether or not he intends to keep driving on public roads going forward. the other thing that has merged according to a couple of people who we re according to a couple of people who were first at the scene, he a peers to have been travelling alone, what are the implications then, do you think about him continuing to drive, continuing to drive alone, at the age of 97, what would you say about that? well, i think that, that will probably come as a sunshine prize to —— surprise to many of us and former police protection officers who like to comment about the way protection is done, most presume when we see members of the royal family driving out and about they very often have members of their protection team,

their ppos with them in the car, and on public roads, and one would have, you would have assumed he would have had a ppo with him in the car, or very close behind him. again, none of this is completely confirmed but it does appear obviously we have heard from roy, pulled him out of the car and was there on site sooner than ppos, now, iam the car and was there on site sooner than ppos, now, i am quite sure, you know, i was reading something from one of his former protection officers who talked about the fact that the duke of edinburgh liked to try and sneak off to see if he could go under the radar without him. it sounds like he is still doing that. that will be a concern for the pos and for other members of the royal family. any member of the royal family. any member of the royal family. any member of the royal family sat risk when they leave the confines of their private ground but at the age of 97, you would have thought it would be wise to have someone with him, i am sure

discussions will be under way within the royal family and protection teams to address that urgently. some people have been surprised briefly that not only that he was driving, no reason that he shouldn't, but at the age of 97, you know, some surprise he was, but also of course he recently had that very major hip surgery. he recently had that very major hip surgery. yes, i think all i would say about him still driving, is for someone say about him still driving, is for someone who has lived in the goldfish bowl all his life, driving himself is one of those last bits of independence that he has obviously clung on to, with regards to his hip replacement. we saw a few weeks after that we saw him striding into the the church for harry and megan's wedding. i don't think that will have anything do with the crash, he is strong willed and likes to do things himself. thank you. in the united states, democrats say they will investigate

allegations that president trump directed his long—time personal lawyer to lie to congress. president trump's lawyer has rejected reports by buzzfeed news that he ordered his former lawyer michael cohen to lie to congress for him about plans to build a trump tower in moscow. anthony zurcher is following the story from washington. well, this, there is such a swirl of allegations but what makes this one in particular stand out? well, i think the thing thatjumped in that buzzfeed article was the assertion that robert mueller, not only had testimony on behalf of michael cohen says the president pressured him to lie to congress but there was documentary
