to come back to the uk? as i understand from his lawyer, jack shepherd is currently being held in the police station and he's officially under arrest. he will be moved to a temporary detention centre. his lawyer said according to georgian law, the maximum detention period in this kind of case could be up period in this kind of case could be up to nine months but it will be up toa up to nine months but it will be up to a judge to decide how long jack shepherd will be in custody of the georgian police. he turned himself in at the station several hours ago, and he also gave an interview to a local television station. his lawyer says he maintains his innocence, he doesn't agree with the court's decision in the uk, and that he is ready to cooperate with the investigation. thank you. they're some of the most popular shopping brands in the country —

and now we can reveal how the likes of marks and spencer and dune find themselves caught in the row about instagram. the bbc has discovered adverts for the companies appearing next to disturbing social media posts about suicide and depression. yesterday we reported on the death of molly russell and why herfamily blame instagram. today we confront facebook, owners of instagram, with that accusation. more on that later, but first here's angus crawford and — i should say — his report includes some very upsetting content. remember molly russell? we told you about her last night. i have no doubt that instagram helped kill my daughter. just 1a when she took her own life, her instagram account full of posts about depression and suicide. our investigation found common hashtags and search terms lead

to a world of self harm — but that is not all. amongst the disturbing images and videos, adverts for some of britain's biggest and most reputable brands and companies. look, marks & spencer next to images of self—harm. and dune, a worldwide fashion brand. even charities like the british heart foundation. they told us... instagram is owned by facebook, this is its london headquarters. the company said it simply does not allow material that glorifies suicide and self harm, and as for adverts, they are not targeted at individual pieces of content or videos. it is tragic, a really disturbing story. but the advertising industry is losing patience.

brands do not want to see their advertising appearing in this context, which is why we need an independent oversight body funded by the industry, potentially international in scope, which stops the platforms from marking their own homework and can give confidence to the public, to politicians and advertisers that content is being properly, independently moderated. but it's instagram's algorithm that seems to be at the heart of the problem — like one image or video and it recommends many many more. i would like to see that we're able to use those algorithms to promote more positive content. so actually when people are searching for certain things, what they are getting is lots of positive content and support and that is what is flooding their pages. so what do these students at a college in leeds think? it does draw you in to have a look at the darker stuff on media because you are intrigued by all the new information.

instagram makes you feel like you have to be perceived in a different way, like you have to be perfect in a way. people using it and if they see something like self—harm or whatever, they need to report it. molly russell's father thinks the tech companies have got to go much much further. the truth is the internet is making money out of other people's misery and it should not be. that is just dreadful, it is immoral and it is not taking enough steps to prevent that. it is not taking enough steps to safeguard young people's lives. molly's death begs the question, instagram makes money from our children but is it really doing enough to keep them safe? angus crawford, bbc news. facebook, the company which owns instagram, says any posts which glamorise self—harm have no place on its platforms. and speaking to our media editor amol rajan,

facebook‘s european boss offered his sympathies to the family of molly russell. the first thing i'd like to say is just what a difficult story that was to read and, like anyone, i was deeply upset and i'm deeply sorry for how this must‘ve been such a devastating event for theirfamily. there's a picture of some slit wrists, that's from instagram. there's a picture full of blood, that's from instagram. those are all against your policies, but they are all available on instagram. well, we... we have to make sure we look at these and ensure those are taken down, if they are against our policies. don't you think they should be against your policies, pictures of slit wrists which 14—year—olds can access? if people are posting in order to seek help, in order to seek support from communities, the experts in this area tell us that is a valuable thing for them to do and can help with recovery, can help with support. if it's there to sensationalise,

of course it has no place on our platform. it shouldn't be on our platform, and if we need to work harder to make sure it isn't on our platform then we certainly will. how can brands trust facebook and trust instagram specifically to be a safe environment when they're mixed up with this kind of material? they want to make sure that we are living up to the responsibilities that they have of us, and i think we can always improve. but there are areas where we've made significant amounts of investment and huge amounts of focus in trying to get this right. but i think it is recognised that this is a complex area. steve hatch, thank you very much indeed. if you're distressed about any of the issues raised in this report and would like details of organisations which offer?advice and support, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline or you can call for free at any time to hear recorded information 0800 066 066. a former tesco director has been

cleared of fraud and false accounting at the supermarket chain. carl rogberg is the last of three former directors to be acquitted, in a blow to the serious fraud office. an investigation was sparked by an announcement by tesco, in september 2014, that its profits were overstated by £250 million. four former barclays executives have gone on trail accused of conspiracy to commit fraud. southwark crown court heard that the former chief executive john varley, and his colleagues thomas karalis, rogerjenkins, and richard boath, sought to raise capital by paying qatari investors £300 million in undeclared fees, in return for their investment. the men all deny the charges. a leading brexit supporter — the mpjacob rees—mogg — says he believes theresa may's deal could be "reformed" to win round opponents.

the deadlock has been over the irish border and the so called "backstop" arrangement. it's a position of last resort to maintain an open border in the event that a future trade deal hasn't been agreed with the eu. but today's comments have fuelled speculation mr rees—mogg and other brexiteers could now be persuaded to support the prime minister's deal. here's our political editor laura kuenssberg. ready for a close—up or ready for a compromise? this band of exit tiers isn't suddenly backing the prime minister's deal, but after weeks of ha rd minister's deal, but after weeks of hard resistance it's a definite maybe. the reformation of this deal could be achieved to make it acceptable. but ladies and gentlemen, it is not there yet, and until it is people like me will vote against the deal. if you're wondering what all this fuss is

about today, what is said that this meeting really matters. like it or not, this group has a huge sway over dozens and dozens of tory brexiteer votes that the prime minister desperately needs if she has any chance of getting her deal done. the biggest frenzy has always been about the backstop, the part of the compromise deal over northern ireland. the one this crowd feared would hold us too tightly to the eu. you see the prime minister has indicated some willingness to go back to the eu, and the eu clearly wa nts a back to the eu, and the eu clearly wants a deal. so, can i guarantee that you will do something? of course i can't. most of the problems are in the backstop. would you be willing to swallow the problems if the backstop goes?|j willing to swallow the problems if the backstop goes? i wouldn't go that far. he even suggested shutting down parliament. but the wide arguments, yes 01’110

down parliament. but the wide arguments, yes or no to the deal, might be on the move. there is a belief in government now that the eu divorce deal has to be reopened, twea ked divorce deal has to be reopened, tweaked at the premises about the future won't be enough to get it through the commons and big—name brexiteer is visiting downing street aren't ready to sign up yet but are maybe starting to play nice. aren't ready to sign up yet but are maybe starting to play nicem aren't ready to sign up yet but are maybe starting to play nice. if the uk now negotiates with conviction and if we really mean it this time, that we can secure the changes that we need. but there is no sign of compromise between the two main parties. a lot more shouting than talking going on. minds are closed and the prime minister is not listening. he will not go until the government says we might leave without a formal deal.

in brussels, public willingness to budge remains in short supply. their chief negotiator repeating, giving the difficult circumstances and the complexity of brexit, this is the best possible agreement for the if there is not enough willingness to be flexible, look who popped up at the swankiest of swanky political gatherings to predict this. at the the swankiest of swanky political gatherin: delay wredict this. at the the swankiest of swanky political gatherin: delay is dict this. at the the most option because that gives space to see there is alternative see whether there is an alternative deal on the table. or whether we need to resolve this through a referendum. remember how that went for the last tory prime minister? maybe the final choice the current one wants to make. sooner rather than later decisions must be made. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. our top story this evening. jack shepherd, the man convicted of the manslaughter of charlotte brown in a thames speedboat crash has handed himself in.

coming up... the amateur referees threatening to go on strike — because of the abuse they're getting on the pitch. coming up on sportsday on bbc news... serena williams insists she didn't choke after missing four match points to crash out of the australian open, while karolina pliskova battles through to her first semifinal in melbourne. rescue officials say there is "no hope" of finding the footballer emiliano sala alive, after his plane went missing over the english channel. no trace of wreckage has been found in an aerial search for the 28—year—old striker and his pilot david ibbotson. the plane carrying the pair left nantes in france on monday evening, heading for cardiff. but it lost contact off alderney in the channel islands. the search is taking place over an area of 280 square miles, and tonight the sala family pleaded for it to continue. sian lloyd reports. a second day of searching the waters

off the coast of the channel islands but there have been no sightings. a number of rescue teams have been working today but hopes of finding the men are fading. the aircraft was piloted by david ibbotson from north lincolnshire. this is the plane that emiliano sala was travelling in — it's registered in the us but is thought to have british owners. it was filmed by the bbc in 2015 as part of a report about light aircraft. on monday evening, it was carrying the argentinian striker from france to cardiff, where he was about to join his new club. the 28—year—old recorded a voice message to friends from on—board in which he spoke of safety concerns. at home in argentina, his family are desperately waiting for news.

translation: the hours go by and it makes me think of the worst. i just want them to find him. the last thing they said is that the communication ended when they crossed the channel. emiliano sala signed a £50 million deal to play for cardiff city — a club record. today, the management confirmed that the club had not booked the flight from france te seethtdaleegreeelaining , ~ the team and fans are in shock, they'd been looking forward to his first game here. we were so excited to see him and he's obviously not here, so, yeah, we are very sad. he never wore the shirt

for cardiff city but once you're a bluebird, you're always a bluebird. he signed on the dotted line as a bluebird. his former club nantes have changed their twitter profile to include a picture of the star and, outside the ground, flowers for a player who was popular there. air accident investigators have begun their inquiry but finding the plane will be crucial. sian lloyd, bbc news, cardiff. the authors of a study, which declared mesh implants as pain free, have admitted failing to declare a £100,000 grant from the manufacturers of one of the types of implant they were assessing. aberdeen university's professor mohamed abdel—fattah — who led the study — published a correction to the original research paper, almost seven years on, following a complaint. he denied there was any link between the funding and the study. mesh implants are used used to repair damaged or weakened tissue. many women have been left suffering chronic pain afterwards. the number of children drinking

sugary drinks has fallen significantly according to a major survey of diet and nutrition. it suggests the number has fallen by a third over the past nine years and around half of children do not drink them at all. the shift means overall children are now consuming less sugar, although still above the recommended level. our medical correspondent fergus walsh is here. tell us more. this is a new survey but it gives a mixed picture, doesn't it? it does. the uk diet survey is the most comprehensive assessment of what britons eat, 1000 people questioned in detail that the even give blood samples for analysis. the good news, the proportion of children consuming sugary drinks has fallen by a third over the past nine years, leading to a slight reduction in the amount of sugar children consume overall but they are still eating twice the

recommended amount. the amount of salt we are eating, adults and children, is also down by about a grammar day. the five day message, no shift on that over the last five yea rs. no shift on that over the last five years. —— gram a day. children are managing less than three portions a day. we're not getting enough either in ourdiet to day. we're not getting enough either in our diet to protect against heart disease and cancer. the amount of vitamins and minerals in our diet has also declined. the five day message, we have heard it for years. it was first launched in 2003. we should be looking at nine or ten portions of fruit and veg a day so the nation's diet has a long way to go. amateur football referees are considering strike action over the levels of abuse they're receiving on the pitch. tomorrow the fa chief executive will meet with the charity ref support, which says it's seen a worrying rise in calls to its hotline about verbal and physical assaults on referees.

it says a strike could be on the cards if more support isn't given. our sports correspondent natalie pirks has more. i have been head—butted by a player, i have been spat at, and i've been punched. out of the blue, one of the players decided just to punch me. i couldn't believe it. they shouted at me, "i hope your children die of cancer." who would be a referee? in the last few months alone, an irish official has suffered a broken jaw and a scottish referee has needed a police escort after threats from fans. we all make mistakes. you mug! would you take this at work? no. the fa's respect campaign has been running for a decade, yet numbers are dropping. there are 6500 fewer referees in england today than five years ago. some refs feel abuse could be part of the reason. i was 16, refereeing an under 13s match when a parent threatened to physically abuse me. without fa rules compelling alistair lloyd's county fa to report the threats to police, he felt his complaint was

swept under the carpet. the lack of support made me feel very worried. considering that we've had people hospitalised and there has not been enough changed, it will take some poor referee to die before anything happens. the fa, responsible for the development of referees across england, says it takes any assault on a referee with the utmost seriousness. of around 850,000 matches played each season in grassroots football, there were only 61 reported assaults — that's 0.01% of games. the fa says it remains a priority to tackle u na cce pta ble behaviour at grassroots level and it works alongside the county fa network to offer support to refs. players who assault referees now face a minimum of a five—year ban and fa figures show a 45% reduction in assault in the last two years. but charity ref support disputes this drop, saying many cases go unreported because of a lack of trust. a lot of people don't have

faith in the system, so that's why they're not reporting. if they're not reporting, that will show the stats having gone down. let's not kid ourselves that it's getting better because it really isn't. go on, fellas. could body cameras help? listen, fella, walk away. walk away, fella. when richard myers was punched during a match, the london fa backed him brilliantly, but he still wants more help for referees. i believe it's a tool. we've looked at it today — it's comfortable. if it's going to safeguard those that feel they need it, why not? you are standing in the way, pal. what are you talking about? there's no appetite amongst football's lawmakers to bring in body cams. with cameras tracking every moment in the top leagues, there's no need. but for those in grassroots, is another line of defence that's seemingly being ignored. natalie pirks, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's mel coles.

you'd think it is cold here, spare a thought for those in eastern canada. this is one of the world's famous landmarks, niagara falls. overthe past few days it has partially frozen. these pictures were taken yesterday, a winter wonderland created. temperatures here started at -14 created. temperatures here started at —14 celsius. nothing as cold as that on the cards here though it does feel as though winter has started to establish itself. something milder on the cards later in the week but it will be short lived. as well as wintry showers in kent we have had crisp winter sunshine around as well. fold in the north of england means temperatures have not got above freezing in some spots. in cumbria, the temperatures are only going one way. a cold winter from northern ireland, are only going one way. a cold winterfrom northern ireland, more cloud and outbreaks of patchy rain for is something less cold will work

backin difference is the temperatures were back in two double figures for large parts of the country but the cold front is starting to make inroads already. that's all from the bbc news at six. so, it's goodbye from me and, on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s our top stories for you now, a man convicted of dilling a woman in a speed bolt crash on a date has handed himself in. jack shepherd had been on the run since its trial nearly a year ago, he is now in police custody in georgia. charlotte brown died in december 2015. her father says his charlotte brown died in december 2015. herfather says his dog irwill now get justice. 2015. herfather says his dog irwill now getjustice. it 2015. herfather says his dog irwill now get justice. it was so unbelievable, a sense of relief because it has been such a hard distressing three years.

guernsey police say they are suspending the search for the plane carrying emiliano sala for the night. theresa may has told mps that delays brexit won't solve anything as leading brexiteers insist on changing details of her deal with the eu. children are turning their backs on sugary drinks but there is still a —— go. now more on that story of a man wa nted now more on that story of a man wanted for the manslaughter of a woman killed in a speed boat accident. jack shepherd had gone on the run before being convicted of killing charlotte brown in 2015. her father graham said he felt a huge sense of are leaf shepherd was in police custody. well, it was so
