reaches back—to—back grand slam finals with a hard fought victory over karolina pliskova at the australian open. —— naomi osaka. good morning and welcome to the bbc news at 9. the family of a woman who died in a speedboat crash on the thames have said justice is close — after the fugitive convicted of her manslaughter handed himself in to police. jack shepherd turned up at a police station in georgia yesterday, six months after he was sentenced over the death of charlotte brown. herfamily

her family criticise them for showing what they called unbelievable arrogance when he appeared on tv shortly before he was arrested. chi chi izundu has this report. on the run for ten months and now surrounded by lawyers, this is the momentjack shepherd handed himself in to police. he had been hiding in the georgian capital, tblisi. before his arrest he gave an interview to a local tv channel. i hope thatjustice will be done, and that my appeal will succeed, and that i can... everyone can move forward with their lives. lastjuly he was sentenced in his absence to six years in prison for the manslaughter of 24—year—old charlotte brown. in december 2015 they had been on a first date and after dinner and drinks, jack shepherd took her out on what he claimed was his speedboat on the thames. this footage was recovered from charlotte's phone. he let her take control but they were both thrown

into the water after the boat hit branches. he was found clinging to the hull, charlotte was pulled out, unresponsive.‘s family have been appealing forjack shepherd to return to the uk and had this reaction to the news. to see him just strolling into the police station smiling and waving, itjust is unbelievable, his arrogance over everything. under current diplomatic agreements between georgia agreements between georgia and the uk, shepherd is eligible for extradition. the cps says it is drafting a request. for now, he remains in a detention centre, awaiting a court hearing for the next step in his legal process. chi chi usundu, bbc news. our news reporter rayhan demytrie is in the georgian capital of tbilisi for us now. there is to be a court appearance there, but why can't he just get on a plane and come back to the uk? because of a happy odds are of the

georgian law, and the georgian law says there has to be a court hearing and it is up to a localjudge to decide on the terms of extradition. as we know, the georgian law says that if a foreign national is convicted in his country for more than a year, then that is enough grounds for the court, for a judge here, to approve the extradition, but at this stage it is alljust speculation on our behalf. the court hearing is scheduled for friday morning. jack shepherd's lawyer says that the whole process might take weeks, because there are a lot of formalities that have to be filled in before he is extradited back to the uk. as we heard in that report, the uk. as we heard in that report, the family of charlotte are very upset about the tv interview that he gave. he was, it was quite an

unexpected turn of events. as we understand, jack shepherd decided to turn himself in to police, because he saw british media reports being surfaced, which mentioned his whereabouts, him being here in georgia. he contacted a local lawyer and then went to a police station and then went to a police station and turned himself in. but before he was officially arrested, he has spoken to a local television channel. he maintains his innocence, and, as we know from his lawyer, thatis and, as we know from his lawyer, that is his position. there are also some reports that he might be fighting his extradition to the uk. at this stage we cannot confirm that information. his lawyer says he will be meeting his client later today and perhaps this option will be discussed. thanks very much for

that. a new plan to tackle drug resistant superbugs is being unveiled by the government including proposals to encourage the development of new antibiotics. the health secretary, matt hancock, said that unless new drugs were found a simple graze could become fatal. our health correspondent, dominic hughes reports. antimicrobial resistance — in other words, the ability of drugs —— bugs, to stop drugs like antibiotics from working — is a serious threat. experts say, if unchecked, within three decades drug—resistant bugs could kill 10 million people around the world every year. if antibiotics stopped working, even minor infections from just a simple cut could prove fatal. unless we get a grip on resistance to antibiotics, people will die from these things, and antibiotics won't be able to save them. so, the uk government is renewing efforts to reduce our current use of antibiotics, which has already

fallen, down by 7% since 2014. but the number of drug—resistant infections has increased by more than a third. so now the government wants to cut human use by a further 15% in the next five years, for example, by reducing the number of people picking up infections. drug companies will also be encouraged to produce new antibiotics. they will be paid on the basis of how valuable the drugs are to the nhs, rather than the sheer quantity that are sold. this is a great plan, this is a world first, it's a plan that looks to address antimicrobial resistance not just here in the uk but globally, and if we get this plan right, we could save millions of lives worldwide in the future. the threat posed by the over—use of antibiotics in humans and livestock is very real. dominic hughes, bbc news. president trump has backed down in a row with the democratic congressional speaker — agreeing to delay his

state of the union address until the government shutdown is over. the speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi, wrote to the president to inform him that he would not be allowed to deliver his annual speech in the chamber, next week as planned, until the government reopens fully. chris buckler sent this update from washington. given the sometimes angry nature of donald trump's tweets, actually the language used in these letters between him and the democratic speaker of the house nancy pelosi is pretty polite. but buried in these words is a great deal of frustration and anger. donald trump says never before has a congress withdrawn an invitation to the president to deliver his state of the union address. that's a speech in which he is expected to set out his aims and agenda for the year ahead. however, democrats say that they don't want to hear what he has to say until the current partial government shutdown is over. that's a funding row over donald trump's demands for $5 billion for a border wall with mexico.

it's left government departments without money, it's left hundreds of thousands of government employees not knowing when they will next get paid. donald trump had been talking about looking for a different venue to deliver his state of the union address. however, he now says he will now wait until the shutdown is over because he believes there is nowhere other than congress, it has that history, tradition and importance to deliver that kind of speech. at the same time he will not be happy waiting, particularly given the bitterness of this row and, when he finally does give the address, we will expect him to mention the democrats and that wall. theresa may will meet union leaders later today to talk about the next steps of her brexit plan. the prime minister will try to find a compromise with the tuc, unison, unite and the gmb after her deal was overwhelmingly voted down by mps last week. our assistant political editor norman smith is outside number ten.

this is another groundhog day. we have been here before. yes, you have to go back to the 1970s and harold wilson who was constantly inviting the trade unions in for beer and sandwiches to mull over policy and the like. they haven't had any such influence since then. mrs may has invited a series of union leaders in today to reach out over her billy kee brexit strategy and you have to say on the face of it it does not look as if it is going to be a productive series of meetings, because the unions have been pretty clear that they do favour delayed, they favour pushing article 50 back, many of them are in favour of staying in the customs union, staying in the customs union, staying in the single market, many of them open to the idea of another referendum, all red lines which mrs

may has scored in red ink on her brexit blotter. but there was a point to the meeting today for both sides. the unions want to try and push mrs may into guaranteeing employment rights in any deal she finally does. what she has said so far is that the uk will stand by existing employment rights, but the unions want to guarantee that the uk will abide by future eu employment rights. mrs may once the site of union leaders going in and coming out, hopefully not being too negative, in the hope that that might potentially encourage some labour mps who are wobbling over whether they might back mrs may's deal to think well, if it is not too bad for the likes of len mccluskey, it is probably 0k bad for the likes of len mccluskey, it is probably ok for me. there is a mutual self—interest in this meeting on both sides. the polish prime minister has told the bbc that he wants to see more workers return from the uk to help poland's economy grow. speaking to the bbc‘s business correspondent simonjack at the world economic forum

in davos, meteusz morawiecki said the brexit negotiations were over — and the ball was now in the british prime minister's court. our business editor simon jack joins us live from davos in switzerland. tell us more, simon. poland has been quite sympathetic to the uk in grappling with the eu because they think some, like some elements of the uk political establishment that the uk political establishment that the eu is too critical of their energy policy and what they have done to theirjudiciary, and the foreign ministerfrom done to theirjudiciary, and the foreign minister from poland actually suggested to try and help out the negotiations, that this backstop that we have been defining all day should be time limited to five years they help theresa may get that deal through. that infuriated the eu 27 and michel barnier. they said that is not up for grabs, a time—limited backstop is not really a backstop at all. i asked him

whether giving his intervention, he thinks it might be a good idea to reopen negotiations. we have closed negotiations in november. we have voted for this. we have discussed this in the european council. so, no coming back? no coming back at this stage. it is up to michel barnier what to do with this. but let me emphasise that my best case scenario would be if the british nation could decide for the united kingdom to stay as part of the european union. has the eu being a bully in these negotiations? there might have been some harsh words. maybe issued by both parts, the negotiations were quite tough. do you have any data that fewer police people are going to live and work in the uk? they are coming back and i'm happy with that

because there is a lot of employment in poland, 5.5% gdp growth, one of the strongest in the european union, so the strongest in the european union, sol the strongest in the european union, so i would hope that many polish people would come back to poland, so give us our people back. for us it is extremely important for those who wa nt is extremely important for those who want to stay, to make sure that the social security systems and conditions stay as they are. you could say that if he wants more poles to return to poland the best way to do that would be a hard brexit but he wants preferably for the uk to stay within the european union, but it is interesting, the political leaders who are here in davos, there is a growing sense among them that no—deal brexit is becoming less and less likely.

financial markets have seen the pound rise, whenever you see a softer brexit or delayed brexit the pound begins to rise but yesterday international trade secretary liam fox came out here and delivered a sharp warning, saying that too many people being too complacent about the chances of a no—deal brexit. some countries are just not doing the preparatory work to prepare for something like that, and why should they spend all this money preparing when it is not really going to happen? he said it still could happen? he said it still could happen and we need to stop being so complacent, and they should put that work in. that is the view from davos. there have been sharp warnings from other directions. european planemaker airbus has warned that it could move wing—building out of the uk in the future if there is a no—deal brexit. its chief executive tom enders said it could have to make potentially harmful decisions for the uk in the event of no—deal. 0ur

harmful decisions for the uk in the event of no—deal. our business editor dominic connell is here. tough language on the company's website. airbus has always been unhappy about brexit but tom enders said, please do not listen to the brexiteers up to be madness which asserts that because we have huge pla nts asserts that because we have huge plants here that we will not move and we will always be here, they are wrong. he says there are plenty of countries out there who would like to do the work that is done in the uk, mainly building wings but other bits as well in the uk. he says that airbus has a future. it is not the pending in the uk. that is 14,000 jobs. yes and another 110,000 in the uk and more widely. it has spoken about £1 billion upfront costs and ongoing at a year and there are special things about the aerospace industry that means it will be particularly disruptive, safety

approvals, and air boss is trying to crank up production of the a320, and they are nervous about any disruption to that. when politicians say that, then brexiteers say that this is project beer, do they respond in the same way to the boss ofair boss? respond in the same way to the boss of air boss? some politicians have said, thatair of air boss? some politicians have said, that air boss should put pressure on european negotiators to make sure that there was a pragmatic deal. this may not be a completely project beer at that, bowling has recently moved quite a lot of its clients around the us in response to the attractiveness of different tax regimes and different locations, so he can move these big aerospace plants. air boss says that it might well do that, and it may not be an empty threat. —— airbus. are you confused by all the brexit jargon bandied around by politicians,

and used in the news? all day, bbc news is breaking down the language that is routinely used, are you confused by all the brexit jargon bandied all day, bbc news is breaking down the language that is routinely used, but rarely explained. 0ur political correspondent chris mason has travelled to the university of befordshire in luton — to test drive the bbc‘s online guide to brexitjargon — and find out the terms that are most confusing to us all. good morning, carried. test driving the jargon buster. we will have a look at that in a few minutes. before we get the hind wheel of the jargon buster lets go into the jungle ofjargon. jargon buster lets go into the jungle of jargon. we jargon buster lets go into the jungle ofjargon. we will be chatting to other guests in a moment but looking at the signs that are penned up around here, some baffling language that people like me spew out, autumn, and let's be honest, probably don't explain as clearly as we should win the central thing that we should win the central thing that we are talking about, brexit itself, is something people have an argument about exactly what it means, about

what it means let alone all the other things we kick around in that context. let me introduce you to the guys. good morning. we'll have some perspectives and some expertise. guys. good morning. we'll have some perspectives and some expertiselj am perspectives and some expertise.” am an exports director in luton. said brexit is a big thing. 70% of out said brexit is a big thing. 70% of our turnover is exports, and a big pa rt of our turnover is exports, and a big part of that is to be user that there is a massive thing for us at there is a massive thing for us at the moment. gives a sense of how baffling building has been. the main problem for us is that we cannot plan. there are potentially three options at the moment. if we have a no—deal, we need to go down one route of investment, if there is theresa may's other route of investment and if we end up remaining we don't need to do anything probably and we have just wasted a huge amount of time and money to be exactly where we were

two years ago so it is it's really frustrating. you spoke about money and the cost of it, how expensive is this proving to be, because you are preparing for a range of options?” can't put a figure on it but the other thing to consider is these two years when we have been wondering what is going to happen, we have not been able to focus as much as we should have done on doing business with our partners, which is bad for them and bad for us. you'll roulette spin round the table. i have been to shame, i gentleman in a suit and tie, what is your name? liam scott. i worked at the university of bedfordshire in the international office. i help to support the recruitment of students from the eu and overseas. it is an important role for the university. into that mix comes brexit. you have a job with an international focus. mix comes brexit. you have a job with an internationalfocus. what consequences do you hope or fear around the uk departure from the eu

in terms of the impact on you? universities are happening —— wondering what is it to happen in 2020. students starting at any university will have funding guarantee for the duration of their studies but everyone is wondering about september 2020, what will happen with international tuition fees, so there is lots of interest regarding that, too. a couple of stu d e nts regarding that, too. a couple of students either side of you, george, you have a question for georgina on the terms that we are surrounded by, some of the jargon. the main one would the backstop. i've come from irish heritage, big irish community in luton, the backstop is an important issue for me and for my family because we have seen in the past, i was brought up with the

history of bloody sunday and the hunger strikers, and how volatile and hostile that can be. do you think the backstop will put an end or bring a new age of that?“ think the backstop will put an end or bring a new age of that? if you ta ke or bring a new age of that? if you take the backstop outside of the context of brexit it means preventing something from happening, the last possible option. so this is an insurance policy. at the moment the uk is a member of the eu and we share a border with ireland, the eu, and the government has said it was to pull out of the single market and customs union so we will not have the same rules as other eu member states and that is problematic if you have trade that crosses the border several times a day sometimes, so what the backstop buzzes, it says, if you can't find a solution that would maintain border checks, and make them less visible, and if we cannot find some way of allowing these checks to take place further away, this backstop would kick in, so the role of the uk would

remain part of the customs union, we would continue to have the same rules that would as the eu, but northern ireland would have more rules than the rest. a quick question from you to georgina. we hear from brexiteers like boris johnson and jacob rees—mogg that if the uk was to come out on wto rules that the uk with manage and get through. what exactly does wto rules mean for businesses, the economy and the everyday person? good question. the wto is an international organisation that sets basic rules about trade. if you are a country that was the export of another country one of the rules is how much do you pay. these are very basic rules, so most countries try to strike free trade agreements which can facilitate that, and build on

those rules. what we mean by wto rules is that if the uk left with no—deal, essentially, the government said we are trying to prepare as much as possible for that so we will put lots of legislation through parliament to make sure that trade can continue, because if you pull out of the market, the eu market, all of a sudden, lots of laws cease to apply, so they are trying to fill that vacuum, but it doesn't facilitate everything so you would still have checks, and it is like when you go to the airport, for example to new york, you can fill in some forms but that doesn't take away the checks, itjust some forms but that doesn't take away the checks, it just facilitates them so there are still lots of questions as to how much law the government would need to create two facilitate that, some disruption is inevitable, i think. facilitate that, some disruption is inevitable, ithink. this facilitate that, some disruption is inevitable, i think. this is my road testing moment as i go over to my desk, the bbcjargon buster website.

imight desk, the bbcjargon buster website. i might even have a go. we were talking about the backstop. let's type in backstop plan, then hit go, and up comes the definition. plenty more on the website. and more coming from us throughout the day here on the bbc news channel. chris mason with the desk of drivel! we will be there again shortly. lots and lots on the website, as chris said, which you need to know in an —— in order to understand all of that backstop jogging- not enough is being done to protect the public in england and wales from sex offenders, according to inspectors for the prison and probation services. in two cases, convicted sex offenders were allowed to stay in budget hotels instead of monitored bail hostels on leaving jail. the warnings come after the first inspection to focus on sex offenders in nine years. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. attacked in her own home, 37—year—old lisa skidmore was

raped and murdered by a man under probation supervision. leroy campbell had a history of serious sexual offending. a report found there being clear professional failings in the way he was assessed and monitored. now an inspection has uncovered wider problems with the way sex offenders are managed and supervised in england and wales. the report found much of the work to address sexual offending was poor. a third of risk assessments of sex offenders were insufficient. and some children weren't being protected properly from convicted paedophiles. this is a national priority now. we are dealing with large numbers of offenders here and some very significant risk, and i am sure that the public appetite will be that those risks should be much better managed than they are at the moment. the report says a shortage of places in approved premises, known as probation hostels, where prisoners can be safely monitored on release, meant some sex offenders were placed in unsuitable accommodation,

including budget hotels. the question needs to be asked, why are they being sent to these types of places, even if there were no room in an approved premises, where they ought to be, what sort of risk assessment has been carried out to make sure that these people are not in contact with potentially vulnerable adults and children? the ministry ofjustice says hotels are used only in exceptional circumstances. the department says it will tackle the very serious issues dame glenys stacey, the chief inspector of probation who we saw in that report, joins me now. back to the coming in. you have heard the response from the ministry ofjustice, it heard the response from the ministry of justice, it is heard the response from the ministry ofjustice, it is only exceptional circumstances that these hotels are using, rather than hostels. are you reassured? relook at 53 cases and in three of them people were released into budget hotels or other

unsuitable accommodation so three out of 53 suggests it is unusual but by no means unique. i don't think it is acceptable. the public would expect these people to be more closely supervised. and indeed these people need to be more closely supervised as well. the ministry of justice said this morning it will be taking on board your criticisms and working to resolve some of these issues. is that reassuring? i'm very pleased to hear it. things need to improve for these offenders from start to finish. not simply an issue of hotels, that is a small part of it. what are we doing with a large group of offenders, to actually reduce the risk of reoffending as well as protecting the public? and i may say that one in five of all offenders at the moment our sexual offenders, so it is important business. the numbers are significant. 107,000 sex offenders 110w significant. 107,000 sex offenders now on probation, more than 13,000

in prison. are you saying that currently the public is not safe? just to correct your figures, 20,000 people on the privation are sex offenders, there are 107,000 under supervision overall, so the issue is that the public is at its safest if all the right work is done with these individuals. you are saying it is not, so we are not currently safe. you could certainly be safer than you are the moment. some of these offenders i coming out prison and going into approved premises, probation hostels, good work happens there, we have inspected them and we are impressed with them. they have an overnight curfew and spot checks, they are looking at how people are using the internet as well as doing purposeful work to reduce the risk of reoffending but not every offender is going into those units.

and many don't serve prison sentences, they are supervised in the community and of course we expect the right work to be done there, as well. in four out of ten cases we found no work done in the community to address reoffending and that simply is not good enough. community to address reoffending and that simply is not good enoughm that simply is not good enoughm that the matter of funding? not necessarily. much public funding goes into detaining these individuals in prison and, if they reoffend that expenditure is occurred again. it is a question or prioritisation and also of a joined up prioritisation and also of a joined up approach. things need to be improved ina up approach. things need to be improved in a coherent way from start to finish, through prisons, as people come out into probation and then in probation, we need a consistent, prioritise approach. when would you expect to see progress? straightaway. there are things that can happen now, improving the way these individuals are assessed and how information passes from the present to the

community, that can happen more less straightaway. thank you. ina in a moment, actually, iam just going to bring new news on alex salmond. the former first minister of scotland. we just understand he has been arrested. i don't have further details than that. confirmation from the procurator fiscal that alex salmond, a 64—year—old man has been arrested. we will bring you more details on that as soon as we get at. first, let's just hear from joanna, what's coming up on the dettori at derbyshire programme. -- the victoria derbyshire programme. we bring you the latest injack shepherd, the man convicted of the manslaughter of speedboat victim charlotte brown, who after ten months on the run handed himself in

to authorities in georgia. charlotte is father graham made a powerful direct appeal on our programme yesterday urging him to come forward. and we will talk to him again and to charlotte's sister katie. she says she was angered huack katie. she says she was angered hijack shepherd's unbelievable arrogance when he appeared on television. stay with us. all of that coming up from 10am. —— on how jack shepherd. now, whether with carol. thank you, it's frosty this morning. currently a runner producing some rain, sleet and snow, this will mostly on the hills. down towards the south—east some freezing rain. writing up grounded for many, out towards the west there is bigger cloud producing patchy rain and drizzle. as the result of the cloud and rain in the west, temperatures here higher. still going to be a cold day as we move towards the east. tonight starting cold in

eastern areas, as the weather front producing the cloud and rain moves across oz, temperatures rising. tomorrow, the dregs of the weather front moving from the south—east. a fair bit of cloudy weather, some bright skies with sunshine, plethora of showers coming towards the north—west, merging to give longer spells of rain. one thing you notice about the weather tomorrow it's much milder. white sunday, much colder. hello. this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines... the family of a woman who died in a speedboat crash on the thames say they are outraged after the man convicted for her death appears on tv in georgia —— the man convicted of her manslaughter. "as big a threat as climate change" — the health secretary is to unveil a five—year plan to tackle antibiotic resistance.

donald trump postpones his annual state of the union speech after speaker nancy pelosi said he should delay it until the government shutdown is over. just to repeat that breaking news we brought you a moment ago. alex salmond, the former first minister of scotla nd salmond, the former first minister of scotland has been arrested. we understand that a police scotland spokesman has said a 64—year—old man has been arrested and charged. there are some reports that he is expected to appear in court later today. that's really all the detail we have right now. we will, of course, update you as soon as we can. time now for the morning briefing, where we bring you up to speed on the stories people are watching, reading and sharing. when charlotte brown died in a speedboat crash on the thames, her family faced further distress when the man found

guilty of miss brown's manslaughter went on the run. yesterday, jack shepherd handed himself into a police station in georgia, in scenes filmed on local television. bbc breakfast‘s charlie stayt spoke to charlotte's sister katie to get her and herfamily‘s reaction to this latest development. we were shocked and relieved. last night as we saw his tv interview, increasing feelings of anger. to be honest. to see him just stroll into the police station smiling and waving, was just unbelievable. his arrogance over everything. i believe that him handing himself in is for purely selfish reasons. he's doing it so that he... he thinks he's not, he thinks his appeal, he wants his appeal to be successful and i don't think he thinks he's going to have to serve his sentence.

we know a little more and you have alluded to it, some of the comments he's made. he spoke to reporters, there was a brief lives of ten on camera. let me take you through some of the things he said, he's complained of feeling upset about reading about himself or stop he is said just to clarify, it's an established fact that charlotte was driving and he goes on to say, she was my main concern. as in, charlotte was my main concern. those arejust some of charlotte was my main concern. those are just some of the comments we know he's made. as he was speaking to reporters. in his original statement the following day at the incident, he claimed to be the most drunk he had ever been. he said he

could not remember the point of impactand could not remember the point of impact and leading up to the impact. he said he could not remember if he had taken over the wheel from charlie so i don't think he's consistent. he's contradicting his statement, that was red and shown in court. so all we have is this word, the only person who knows what happened that night is jack shepherd and it's only his word. it's not been driven. —— it's not been proven. more now on the news that the health secretary, matt hancock, is due to unveil a new five—year plan to tackle the problem of drug—resista nt superbugs. the chief executive of antibiotic research uk — professor colin garner — has been speaking to bbc radio 5 live, agreeing with mr hancock that our resistance to antibiotics is as big a risk as climate change. the reason is antibiotics

underpinned nearly all modern medicine. we couldn't have effective cancer treatments or organ transplantation or hip replacements without effective antibiotics. and so, resistance could threaten our ability to treat patients effectively. so it is a very important problem and enter the pleased to hear matt hancock has launched this new initiative which is part of the uk's five—year research strategy. it's be welcomed. medical professionals like yourself have been warning about this some time but why is it that we have become resistant to antibiotics, what's going on? the reason we've become resistant is that bugs have been around on this planet for about 2,000,000,000-3,000,000,000 years, they've developed a good defence mechanisms to protect themselves

against toxins thrown at them. and so antibiotic bugs just regard as another toxin, they try and develop mechanisms to evade the effects of the antibiotics. so the more antibiotics are used by us for treating infections and indiscriminate, the more likely and biotic persistence will increase and that's what's happening. we have seen that's what's happening. we have seen increases in antibiotic resista nt seen increases in antibiotic resistant infections, not only in this country what all around the globe and as matt hancock has said, it's a global problem that we can do something here in the uk, we can lead in the uk to tackle it. president donald trump has taken to twitter to announce that he will not deliver his annual state of the union speech until after the government shutdown is over. president trump tweeted — ‘as the shutdown was going on, nancy pelosi asked me to give the state of the union address. i agreed. she then changed her mind because of the shutdown,

suggesting a later date. this is her prerogative — i will do the address when the shutdown is over. i am not looking for an alternative venue for the sotu address because there is no venue that can compete with the history, tradition and importance of the house chamber. i look forward to giving a ‘great‘ state of the union address in the nearfuture!‘ that's the view from the president of the united states. let's take a look at some of the stories that have caught your eye on the website. number one for most read right now, the speedboat killer, unbelievable arrogance story but let's look, we've already covered that, obviously, but let's look at the rail madrid story. second on the most read. that's explaining that man united have slipped to third in the table of the world's 20 richest football clu bs. the table of the world's 20 richest football clubs. real madrid first with barcelona. barcelona second.

the office for national statistics. the total number of police reported homicides, murderers and manslaughter is up by 14% in the year to september 2018. violent crime as a whole rose 19%. and robbery up 70%, sexual offences up 17% and overall crimes up 7%. we'll get more in a second from one of our reporters. all day, bbc news is breaking down the brexitjargon routinely used by politicians and by the media, but which is rarely explained. one of those terms is the customs union. here's our reality check correspondent chris morris to make sense of it. one trend that keeps cropping up as

a customs union, the uk is still in it but what doesn't do. the customs union makes trade between the 28 eu countries easier. and good smooth between them are no customs checks or charges imposed. when goods entered the customs union from the rest of the world is a common charge known as a tariff. take cars. the charge is 10% of the value, it's a way of protecting eu goods from cheaperforeign way of protecting eu goods from cheaper foreign imports. once way of protecting eu goods from cheaperforeign imports. once the common tariff is paid goods can move freely around the eu without any more checks or charges. that's one of the main reasons why big japanese car firms like nissan set up of the main reasons why big japanese carfirms like nissan set up car pla nts carfirms like nissan set up car plants in the uk. guaranteed smooth accessed to the whole of the eu market. obviously if you are in the customs union you've got to play by its rules. most importantly one country the uk, for example, cannot

strike its own trade deals with other countries around the world. the eu negotiates trade deals for all its members. why? occurs if the uk was able to set tariffs for imported cars at save 5% rather than 10%, of those cars would be sent to the uk more cheaply and get free access to the rest of the eu. giving the uk and unfair advantage. the government would like to keep most of the benefits of the customs union still be able to do its own deals with everyone else. the eu says that's not really on offer. so is there any alternative? free trade agreement can also remove tariffs and allow you to do other deals elsewhere. the companies importing goods into the eu under a free trade agreement still need to provide detailed proof of how and where are made. unlike a customs union, that can create your chrissy, checks and considerable costs. all of which the uk is keen to avoid. all crystal

clear thanks to chris morris. i will test you on all of that later! and all day today, bbc news is breaking down some of the jargon surrounding brexit — we'll have more of those explainers from chris morris — and you can also use ourjargon busting guide online to check the most used terms and phrases. go to bbc.co.uk/brexit — and click on brexit jargon explained. back to the breaking news. the latest violent crime figures for england and wales have just been published by the office for national statistics. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw is here. fairly up—to—date statistics and they show police recording more violent crimes, offences reported and recorded by police in england and recorded by police in england and wales. the percentage increase

in violent crimes is 19%. on the face of it that sounds shocking. it's a significant rise and i think what's most concerning is the violent crime is causing most harm cases of murder, for example, or going off. the highest level now since 2007. 739 homicides, cases of murder and manslaughter compared to 649 the before, significant rise. we're also seeing in knife crime, that's not something because of statistics, seems to be a genuine rise back up by data from hospital accident and emergency units. we also seek a significant rise in robbery, sexual offences continuing the trend of people to report sexual offences to police. that went up by 14%. robbery as i say up by 17%. there is a separate set of data which looks at crimes in england and

wales, the crime survey. what that suggests is the overall trend for crime is broadly stable. that's quite good at measuring the overall trend, not so good at measuring the height harm categories of crime. but what it says, when you look at some of the detail in that, it suggests there is also a trend towards increasing violence of the survey suggests that's not statistically significant. the overall picture is violent crime going up and particularly the crime that causes the most harm. why? a number of possible reasons. the government has said, the home office says it's linked to the drugs market and the fa ct linked to the drugs market and the fact that cocaine in particular is now more readily available in this country. the price of that has come down, the purity has gone up and thatis down, the purity has gone up and that is increasing tension between drug gangs that spills across to the streets. we are also seeing in these homicides, or domestic killings, but

obviously isn't explained by the drugs market but could be other factors, social factors, drugs market but could be other factors, socialfactors, could it be to do with the fact that there has been a decrease in the number of police officers over the last 7—8 yea rs. police officers over the last 7—8 years. these are some of the theories that are being put out there, there's no simple explanation. i note you will take a closer look at it as the date goes on but for now, danny, thank you so much. a group of prominent business leaders is calling on theresa may to make sure the hs2 railway project is completed, amid fears the northern leg could never be built. the high—speed line was intended to run from london all the way to leeds and manchester, but so far only phase one, to birmingham, has been given royal assent. the government says it is "completely inaccurate" to suggest phase two is being reconsidered. donald trump has given his backing to venezuela's opposition leaderjuan guaido, who has declared himself interim president. it comes amid mass protests against president nicolas maduro who has overseen years of economic decline.
