ship fpv morven mr mearns added "the families of emiliano sala and david ibbotson have been notified by police. the air accidents investigation branch will be making a statement tomorrow. tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of emiliano and david." the search to find the plane was expected to take three days but on the first morning it appears to have been located. this vessel was commissioned by the air accident investigation branch to carry out a survey of the seabed over four square nautical miles and working nearby was this boat, the morven, paid for by the family of emiliano sala after a campaign raised more than £300,000 to fund it. these pictures were taken than £300,000 to fund it. these pictures were ta ken yesterday than £300,000 to fund it. these pictures were taken yesterday as the morven, with the latest sonar

technology, prepared to leave harbour, its crew hopeful of finding a trace of the craft. emiliano sala and the pilot, david ibbotson, went missing after their aircraft disappeared on january 21 missing after their aircraft disappeared onjanuary 21 en route from nantes in france to cardiff. the official search was called off but seat cushions were recovered from a beach in northern france with the family of emiliano sala desperate for the search to resume and this evening, a marine scientist who directed the privately funded search operation tweeted: emiliano sala's club, cardiff city, played their first sala's club, cardiff city, played theirfirst home sala's club, cardiff city, played their first home game since his disappearance yesterday. they won, ina ground disappearance yesterday. they won, in a ground filled with tributes to the footballer with tears from the manager who said his new star signing had been with them. sarah campbell, bbc news. 0ur reporterjohn fernandez who's in guernsey told me about the team which located the wreckage.

david mearns, who is co—ordinated as private search on behalf of the salas came to guernsey, from the morven, to tell the media that some sign of this wreckage, the piper malibu missing for 13 days, has been found. at the moment, the air accident investigation branch, the vessel they have co—ordinated, the gio ocean three, is still out there at the location where they believe they have found that downed aircraft which is believed to have contained the cardiff city football emiliano sala and the pilot, david ibbotson. it is to the west of alderney and to the north of guernsey, in one of the shipping lanes. two vessels have been searching for square nautical miles and at the moment, as i said,

the geo ocean three is still there but at the moment, this morning, it was the privately funded vessel, the morven, which found some sign of this wreckage service salvage operation is going over to the aaib and the morven is behind me. what more can you tell us about the search and what has been going on. as you said, it was privately funded. yes, a privately funded service which has been co—ordinated by david mearns, are well—known shipwreck hunter, and it was this morning at 930 when they found some sign of the wreckage. they were trying to get out for quite a long time but the conditions in guernsey we re time but the conditions in guernsey were windy and the conditions in the channel have stopped them so far. these difficult conditions subsided and they got out at three o'clock this morning and within about two hours and doing a grid pattern, what david mearns calls mowing the lawn,

going up and down across these two square nautical miles that they split up between the two vessels, they found a sign of the vessel. this is because of the tidal currents. they knew where to go to because to cushions last week were found in normandy on a beach in that led them to believe exactly where they found this missing piper malibu. the car maker nissan has confirmed that its scrapping plans to manufacture its x—trail 4x4 in sunderland, reversing a decision announced two years ago. the x—trail will now continue to be made in japan instead. in a letter to staff, nissan said a number of business reasons were involved but that uncertainty about brexit was not helping. the business secretary greg clark says it's a blow to the car industry and the region. our business correspondent rob young reports. the nissan x—trail. it will now not roll off the production line in sunderland.

britain's biggest car factory had been due to start making the diesel 4x4 soon. it had been persuaded to build it here after receiving nissan has today confirmed it's cancelling that planned investment. when we're looking to future investment, a bit of prosperity and good news for the sector, it's come at a real bad time. the x—trail will instead be built in nissan's home country, japan. the company says a few factors are to blame, including lower demand than forecast for the x—trail and new vehicle emissions standards in europe. sales of diesel vehicles in the eu fell last year by 17%. sales of the x—trail were also down sharply, falling by 24% in europe. as nissan exports 80% of its uk output, what happens abroad affects sunderland. as well as the commercial factors that have led to this decision, nissan has also said the continued uncertainty about the uk's future relationship like ours to plan its future.

big businesses tend to stay out of politics so the company's withdrawal means it's clearly a concern in the minds of executives. the car industry has long been worried about potential changes to trading rules after the uk leaves the eu. well, it's devastating news for our city and the region. any loss of future production at the plant makes it less stable, but i can't say i'm that surprised. you know, the uncertainty around brexit is always a factor now in any decisions made in manufacturing. after reassuring nissan and its workers over brexit in 2016, ministers hailed the company's original decision to build in sunderland. today there is disappointment.

it's a significant blow because this was a piece of really good news, an expansion of over 700 jobs in what is one of our most successful plants. so i've worked hard, the workforce has worked hard to secure it, and it's a big blow to car—making, to sunderland and to all of us to have lost it. it's thought a few hundred jobs were due to be created to build the x—trail. they'll not now materialise. but nissan is still investing in a newjuke model and its next generation qashqai, and says sunderland's workers have the full confidence of the company. rob young, bbc news. the prime minister says she's determined to deliver brexit as scheduled on the 29 march, promising to return to brussels with new ideas. the backstop guarantee to keep the irish border open will be central to any fresh talks in brussels, after mps voted last week to seek "alternative arrangements." here's our political correspondent chris mason. after a week when parliament had its say and mps voted to back theresa may's brexit plan if she could change one key part of it, the prime minister has said she's ready to do just that.

but what are the new ideas? i asked the border force months ago to advise me to look at what alternative arrangements were possible, and they showed me but what are the new ideas? i asked border force months ago to advise me to look at what alternative arrangements were possible, and they showed me quite clearly you can have no hard border on the island of ireland, and you can use existing technology, it's perfectly possible. the only thing missing is a bit of goodwill on the eu side. the sticking point is how to keep an open border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland under all circumstances after brexit. the existing solution, the so—called backstop, is deeply unpopular in parliament. its critics say it binds the uk

and northern ireland in particular too closely to the eu. the government says it's working hard to find a solution it can take back to brussels. the prime minister could be back there by the end of the week. work is being done to find an alternative to the backstop, and the attorney—general is looking at legal changes that could be requested to put a time limit on the backstop or to find a mechanism where the uk could leave it at a time of its choosing. but as things stand, publicly at least, the eu is opposed to all of these options. my concern is that when we talk about, or when they talk about, alternative arrangements, they are talking about revisiting things that have already been rejected. the british prime minister and the british government resiled from an agreement that they made with 28 other governments. it demonstrates exactly why we need a backstop. labour argue theresa may needs to shift her position and keep

closer ties with the eu. you must get a deal through parliament that is acceptable. that means you must change your red lines about a customs union. it means you must look again at the way in which the future political framework is so vacuous. brexit is just over seven weeks away. there is no sign yet of a break in the deadlock. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. the mother of 21—year—old libby squire has thanked her fellow hull university students for helping to search for her. libby went missing after a night out in the city on thursday. police say they are extremely concerned for her welfare. megan paterson has this report. after another freezing night in hull, police searches have resumed

surged downstream, killing and destroying on an unprecedented scale. a once beautiful valley is now filled with sludge. and even now, more than a week after the disaster, rescue workers are still finding bodies swept along in the deluge, provoking more anguish and anger. a crowd denounces the company that owns the mine, vale, for failing to keep people safe. this man lost a friend at the mine, who had said the dam was leaking before it collapsed. and these student volunteers told me this kind of catastrophe just shouldn't happen. i think brazil has to, like, do a law and start to work everywhere in brazil, to work with these companies. because it has happened again. people died there. so that's really stronger.

that, like, hurt our hearts. when the dam broke, a warning system should have alerted everyone downstream, but vale now says the deluge was moving too fast for that to happen. so there was no sound from this siren near the home of mario fontes. last year, vale calculated the likely impact of the dam collapsing. this satellite image shows how the sludge actually spread. we don't know how accurately vale predicted this. but did the company share its conclusions? "no, there was never any alert or training", mario says. "no information, absolutely nothing about us being at such risk". at a meeting in one community, where everyone has suffered a loss, a public prosecutor accused vale of putting profits first and not investing enough in maintaining the dam. if you spend less in maintaining... how can i say, maintenance? you go up with profits.

and they don't care about the risks. this is the problem. vale has sent engineers to see the damage. but they did not want to talk. is it true that vale knew there were risks the dams would collapse? i'm can't, sorry. our request for an interview with vale was turned down. instead, it said: amid so much death and destruction, the problem for vale is that so many people here now question everything it says. the company insists that it did everything required of it under brazilian law. but the fact remains that whatever safety systems were in place, they simply failed. and in the wake of what happened here, there are growing fears about the many other mining dams in brazil. there is an official system for rating how risky they are but at the moment, few can trust it. david shukman, bbc news, in brazil.

president trump has repeated his intention to withdraw us troops from syria but says he is planning to keep a military base in iraq in order to watch iran. he was speaking in an interview with the television network, cbs, during which he also said that sending the military to venezuela was " our washington correspondent, chris buckler, said mr trump was questioned in—depth about his foreign policies. this was a pretty wide—ranging interview on cbs's programme, face the nation. in which donald trump was asked time and time again about his foreign policy and that's not least because some in his intelligence agencies have been given very different messages from the white house itself. president trump made clear he did disagree with them on a number of issues, for example, he is determined to bring american troops back from the middle east.

however, they believe that might be premature in some cases. they are concerned about the potential of groups like isis rebuilding. mr trump did say he would maintain a presence in iraq and he said that is partly because of iran and their nuclear ambitions. i want to be looking a little bit at iran, because iran is a real problem. whoa, that's news. you're keeping troops in iraq because you want to strike iran? no, because i want to be able to watch iran. that's all i want to do, is watch. we have an unbelievable and expensive military base built in iraq. it's perfectly situated for looking at all over different parts of the troubled middle east, rather than pulling up and this is what a lot of people don't understand, we are going to keep watching and we are going to keep seeing and if there is trouble, if somebody is looking to do nuclear weapons or other things, we are going to know it before they do. another international relationship being closely watched is that between the us and venezuela. whenjuan guaido declared himself as interim president of the country rather than nicolas maduro,

who claims he is the leader, we had president trump come out shortly afterwards and said he was backing juan guaido and that he believed he was the only democratically elected figure in venezuela. certainly a member of the national assembly who he believed was important for taking the country forward and not nicolas maduro. he was asked about that as well and what america will do in the future, beyond just backing guaido. being asked several times, he refused to rule out the idea that potentially, america could be involved militarily. rare snow rollers which look like wheels of snow have been spotted in a field near marlborough. they look manmade but are in fact an entirely natural phenomenon. it's thought the bails are formed when wind conditions are ideal

to blow chunks of snow along, which in turn pick up more snow along the way. brian bayliss photographed them as the sun rose on saturday. now it's time for a look at the weather nick miller. have you ever come have you ever come across have you ever come across these, nick? no, but they are absolutely stunning. snow rollers out there of not got much life left, because the thaw is under way. it has been slow over the weekend but over the next few days temperatures will go up quite a bit compared to recent weeks. what is left of this is going to be on the way out. that said, there is another fresh dollop of snow now under way in the hills of northern scotland. above 150 metres or so you could see 5-10 above 150 metres or so you could see 5—10 centimetres out of that. some will run down to low levels, and icy in places. elsewhere in the uk it is rain pushing east on a night which is nowhere near as cold as recent notes. rain already behind northern

ireland. it continues to feed its way across england and wales, as we go through the night. just into east anglia and parts of southern england, maybe south—east wales as the day begins. all connected to this area of low pressure, quite windy with the wet weather. the low will slowly pull away east through monday, keeping brisk winds that time, particularly into scotland. with the sleet and snow in the north gradually fizzling out, and it will ta ke gradually fizzling out, and it will take a while to shift the rain from the far south—east of england. kent might not lose it until well into the afternoon. cloud to east anglia and the south—east, even behind the rain, whereas elsewhere we have a good deal of sunshine on through monday. you may catch the odd shower around, and notice how those temperatures have come up. as high as 12 celsius in some spots. with light winds and clear skies, there is another frost on the way on monday night. we could see some fog developing, particularly through parts of southern england, it could be dense on tuesday morning, based on the temperatures. elsewhere it is a final widespread frost for a

while. it does mean there will be some sunshine around on tuesday morning, away from any early fog. through the day we see another atla ntic through the day we see another atlantic weather system coming in and that means cloud and outbreaks of rain very slowly feeding north and east, and to further north—east you are, you will hold the driver and sunny conditions for longest. some of us have temperatures in double figures. we are going to see low pressure just hanging around close to the west of the uk for much of the week ahead. it is going to be u nsettled. of the week ahead. it is going to be unsettled. spells of wet weather around at times, but also some sunshine. but the feed of their around the low pressure is coming in from the south—west. that is why temperatures will be at or even above normal for that time of year. that is the most noticeable change in our weather in the week ahead. for many of us it will be a case of sunshine and catching showers at times. a brisk wind, but again, it is from that mild south—westerly direction. hello. this is bbc news with rebecca jones. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment —
