this is bbc news. the headlines at 8pm... calls for an apology from european council president donald tusk — as theresa may prepares to return to brussels — he takes aim at the uk's brexiteers by by the way, i have been wondering what the special place and how it looks like for those who promoted brexit without even a sketch of a plan for how to carry it safely. the coroner overseeing the inquest into the death of teenager molly russell — is writing to four social media companies, to demand access to her internet history. you were not supposed to do that, thank you very much. a rare moment of unity in a divided america, congress celebrates a record number of women in national politics, during president trump's state of the union address. a new report on climate change and extreme weather,

we're likely to experience things we've not seen since records began. the first deportation flight to jamaica since the windrush scandal — the home secretary says they were foreign nationals who had committed "serious crimes". the french football club nantes demands cardiff city pay a £15 million transfer fee for emiliano sala. he was on board a light plane which crashed near guernsey last month. good evening. less than twenty four hours before theresa may returns to brussels for negotiations over brexit, the president of the european council stands accused of insulting british politicians. earlier today donald tusk said there was a "special place in hell"

for leave supporting politicians, those were his words. as our political editor laura kuenssberg reports from brussels, the remarks raise the temperature in what are already high stakes negotiations, not least over the vexed question of the so—called backstop designed to prevent a hard border between ireland and northern ireland. what's coming into view? a budge, a move, a sign of compromise? taoiseach, good morning, might you be willing to budge on the backstop? not so fast. hardly hidden fury from the eu president after claiming he wants to make peace. i've been wondering what the special place in hell looks like for those who promoted brexit without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it safely. but lurking under that obvious anger at leave campaigners,

an invitation to the uk — come forward with a solution for the so—called backstop, the guarantee against a hard irish border. give a believable guarantee for peace in northern ireland, and the uk will leave the eu as a trusted friend. i strongly believe that a common solution is possible. but he must have known full well, as the irish leaderjoked. there'll be terrible trouble. there would be terrible trouble over his condemnation of the brexit campaign. you bet there was. i hope i'm not going to hell, but if i ever do, that is a decision for the lord almighty and not for the president of the european council. the man has no manners. it's extremely regrettable, not at all helpful, but it's a matter for him. they thought they had us skewered on their trident with the form of the withdrawal agreement. that has now been voted down by parliament and now the eu are facing 29th march.

the prime minister ought to capitalise on that frustration. but the prime minister has to wind her way through, and the argument starts and ends in belfast. mps rejected her brexit deal because they hate a nugget of it, the backstop. but if there was no big trade deal done in time, northern ireland would stay much more closely tied to the eu. the prime minister has promised she will get a change, and the allies she needs in parliament demand it. the backstop needs to be replaced, and that is her mandate, and that's what i expect her to take to brussels. but on the other side of the deep divide here, others angrily adamant that the backstop has to stay. the british prime minister has come here empty— handed, with the same old rhetoric, with no plan, no credibility and frankly, no honour. but with all those rival tribes around the continent, opening up a path to agreement in brussels seems far away. the prime minister will be the one walking into this tomorrow.

at a time of hot tempers, it's cool compromise that is needed if she's to find a way through belfast, the demands of the brexiteers and brussels. and remember, theresa may has promised a reluctant parliament that she can persuade this pair of firm friends to change their minds, but... i'm repeating myself by saying we are sticking to the line. the withdrawal agreement on offer is already a compromise. it's been agreed by 28 governments including the uk government, and we very much stand by it. do you agree with donald tusk that there is a special place in hell for brexiteers who didn't have a plan? i believe in heaven, and i have never seen hell. at the time i was doing my job here, it's a hell. it will not be funny for either side if there is no way to agree. was it appropriate for donald tusk to use the tone he did to talk about british politicians?

we are due to leave the european union in 50 days, with or without a deal. and the prime minister has a parliament to convince, a policy to try to change and promises, big and serious promises, she needs to keep. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. well let's speak now to our political correspondent nick eardley, whojoins us now from our westminster studio. the prime minister heading to a tense brussels tomorrow and in the meantime ministers have been meeting this evening. there are conversations happening all the time andi conversations happening all the time and i suspect the backdrop of this various row over donald tusk‘s comments is not exactly the one that downing st would have hoped for. if you want to know how much of a impact that had, he tweeted it and put it on his instagram page so it

was not off the cuff, it is a thought that he had that he wanted to get out there but tomorrow the focus will change, the prime minister hopes anyway, on to how to solve the big conundrum that has been left in the brexit process. how under all circumstances you avoid the hard border. there are three options that downing street continues to see on the table that it hopes will placate the mps who are opposed to the backstop as it stands, one would be a unilateral exit next to —— mechanism, and another is a time limit set a point at which the backstop might run out. both of those things europe has been highly sceptical of so far. the third is the idea of alternative arrangements, finding some existing technology that would remove the need for a backstop. there is a

working group of conservative mps who have been discussing this plan over the next three days or so and we talked to two of them after today's talks. good and detailed discussion, it is a process. the issue is about narrowing down the asks of brussels in what is workable and negotiable and it is continuing. can you give us any sense of where things are looking now and what are the favourites? we will not go into detail but at the end of the day this is about honouring the commitment of no hardboard or in northern ireland and also an agreement of the mps in the house of commons. hands up how many thought the comments were inappropriate? we will not go into the comments. one of the problems that nikki morgan said there about not getting into details it is exactly details that

the european union want to. they wa nt to the european union want to. they want to know from the uk government what our alternatives and how do they work? i get the impression from mps who are on the working group that they think it is positive and the government is listening and it could lead somewhere but what they do not have just now is a concrete proposal to take to europe and put on the table tomorrow and because of that there is not a great deal of hope or expectation that anyway tomorrow is going to lead to a big breakthrough in this process and i suspect these conversations are going to go on. thank you. we can speak to james crisp, who's the brussels correspondent for the daily telegraph. he's been in that post for 7 years, and was at donald tusk‘s news conference earlier today. james joins us live now from brussels. thank you for being with us. one wonders what ways donald tusk thinking? one does wonder that and i

was in the press conference and i was in the press conference and i was not going to lie to you, i was surprised. it really, out of all the press c0 nfe re nces surprised. it really, out of all the press conferences covered and brussels one thing has always come through and for politicians here, they try and be dramatize the situation. they try to make things slow moving and unemotional because that is the way things get done, you drain the emotion out and deal with the big issues that happen here in brussels but donald tusk, he goes his own way a little bit and actually has a bit of form of this on the sorts of issues. he is less afraid to get to the point quickly and i think people here in brussels like him for that. because there is a lot of anger in brussels and ac for years and years it isa brussels and ac for years and years it is a constant brussels bashing

and now they are seeing a bit of exit bashing. dead people i spoke to about it in the eu institutions say they are happy to see us on the other foot. jeremy hunt compared the eu to the soviet union and boris johnson compared the eu to adolf hitler's plans for world domination and over here they see this pearl clutching across the channel and an outbreak of snowflake. one might think on the face of this this is an expression of frustration which in many ways it was that given we had heard that he tweeted it as well and it was a thought through, it was there something strategic and ss theresa may arrives in brussels tomorrow? i think so but to be honest with you i cannot see where the benefit is, you could say he comes across looking tough but at the same time though, he said there

is no leadership for remaining and there is no chance for remains of there is no chance for remains of the is basically telling the remaining mps back theresa may's deal, this deal or no deal so it echoes what the prime minister wants but then i guess by saying something tough if theresa may comes and get something and ventures into the jaws of donald tusk‘s hell, and comes back with a better paper than her victory seems all the sweeter. but the fact is many people in brussels think what he said was accurate but iam not think what he said was accurate but i am not sure it was a smart political move because they entrench the brexiteerss in their possession and will not back anything like the withdrawal agreement which the eu insist they will not renegotiate. final thought with the prime minister arriving for negotiations

tomorrow, if we can call them that, what do you expect her to return with? they will be polite. and official told me that she has been over six times and she can come over a seven time, we wanted it seemed to be helpful but they basically said bring something to us, give us a realistic alternative. which is kind of become almost a mantra here in brussels, it is they always want britain to come up with a solution. i have a fear that theresa may has in the past come into brussels and said what is your solution. i am afraid we are still in the deadlock situation and i suspect that will continue after tomorrow. really good to speak to you, thank you for making times for us here. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered

in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11.30 this evening in the papers. we need our daily dose of brexit, don't we? joining me will be the economic commentator for the new statesmen, grace blakeley, and caroline wheeler, the deputy political editor of the sunday times. the father of molly russell has been blocked from the next step in his quest to find out why the 14—year—old took her own life in 2017. ian russell wants access to molly's phone and social media accounts in the hope it might provide answers. but apple says it's unable to unlock her phone and social media companies say they have to wait for a formal legal request from the coroner. angus crawford reports. when a child dies, what happens to their online life, their messages, posts and pictures, their most personal data ? that's an agonising question for molly russell's dad, ian. there's data on her electronic devices that we can't access. it won't do any good in molly's

case, but of course, we might learn lessons that might help other people. iam sure i am sure there is something on her instagram account that will. .. the family know she had at least one account on instagram, but there may be others. she used pinterest too. a month after her death, automated e—mails were still suggesting more accounts to follow. in law, that data belongs to the tech companies, not the family. but we now believe that the coroner is writing to instagram, pinterest, youtube and apple, demanding that they hand over anything they know about what molly did online. so why youtube? here's why. within a couple of clicks, we find videos about self—harm. many are meant to be positive, posted by people trying to help. but some of the images are graphic and disturbing. and look — the same kind of bleak cartoons we know molly liked on instagram.

then there's her phone. ian wants to know what's in it, but it's locked. apple says it would help, but their encryption means it's impossible to open. if you were to look in molly's phone, there may be key evidence. the only thing that provided that last final straw must have come through her phone or her ipod touch. we need to find out what it was that drove her to make that final decision that encouraged her to take her life at the end. it seems to me that the data on molly's phone should have become her parents' property. she died without a will. she was 1a. and everything else quite naturally returns to us as her parents, and so should her data. in germany, it's different. in 2012, a 15—year—old girl fell in front of an underground train at the station.

it wasn't clear whether she had ta ken her own life. her parents wanted answers, and had to take facebook to court to get access to her account. i think it's very important that there are laws orjudgments, anything that would help families, in this case, to get hold of the data, to retrieve the data, because it's personal. it's not data which belongs to facebook or instagram or google, for instance. molly's family are left with videos, pictures, memories. what they need are answers and for now, those remain out of reach. angus crawford, bbc news. in the wake of molly's death, labour has promised to created a new regulator with the power to break up digital media giants, if they don't act to remove harmful content. deputy leader tom watson accused them of choosing

‘to profit from children, rather than protect them'. our media editor amol rajan looks at how a regulator might work. as the report made clear, molly russell plus my father once it to be easy to access information after a tragedy but it is shifting tech companies —— power it from tech companies —— power it from tech companies to citizens. it is not actually clear that old laws are much use when it comes to the digital revolution. tom watson identified three areas that could be explored, first the competition law about the concentration of economic power, could they be used to break up power, could they be used to break up monopolies or stop the acquisitions. data is the new oil

but it is the most powerful commodity on earth today and he could give citizens more power over their data. finally, free speech and this is about the limits of liberalism, what is permissible to punish online and who should be responsible. in germany they modified existing hate speech laws to find tech companies for leaving harmful content online for too long. any regulation would need too long. any regulation would need to be international and lobbyists resisted. the new space is digital and it is a question of when not if new rules are created to cover it. if you're distressed about any of the issues raised in molly's story 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. president trump was finally able

to deliver his annual state of the union address last night after it was delayed because of the us government shutdown. the president spoke of unity and co—operation but also brought up some of the big issues that divide america, like immigration and abortion. our correspondent nick bryant watched the speech the state of the union address that thomas did not happen and donald trump made news by announcing he will meet the north korean leader kim jong—un for their second summit later in the month. but there is still no sign of political peace breaking out at home. madam speaker, the president of the united states! it was republican hands that reached out to greet him, but this, for the first time in his presidency, is a chamber dominated by democrats.

last november's elections made congress look more like america, and donald trump acknowledged the history of this moment. exactly one century after congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote, we also have more women serving in congress than at any time before. most of the democratic women were dressed in suffragette white. many had entered politics as an act of resistance against him. the state of the union is like a television infomercial, and donald trump seemed to be selling a new product, a softer and more presidential version of himself, the polariser as unifier. we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation, compromise and the common good. that got a rather quizzical response

from the democratic house speaker, nancy pelosi. what looked like mocking applause, a shot that instantly went viral. usa! republicans loved this speech. their patriotic chant sounding distinctly partisan. after appeals from the president for unity, words that could have come from his twitter feed, a swipe at the russian collusion probe. an economic miracle is taking place in the united states, and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars, politics or ridiculous, partisan investigations. # happy birthday to you... congress did come together to sing happy birthday to an 81—year—old holocaust survivor, judah samet, who lived through last year's

pittsburgh's synagogue shooting. in america these days, moments of harmony are rare. they wouldn't do that for me, judah. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. sport now and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly. we can have a new premier league leader, manchester city against every ten this evening and he said he could return to the top with a win at gutters park and they will mess their chance going seven points clear at last week and we are 30 minutes into that game and no goals just yet though. a home tied against derby county, and the replay between west brom and brighton and the home

site of course with history here. having won the last ten games against brighton and that game isjust game is just around 18 game isjust around 18 or 19 minutes and and no goals at the hawthorns just yet. watch that game on bbc one right now. and it's double manchester city action tonight — with the women facing chelsea thsi evening — for a place in the final of the continental cup. city s hopes of bringing any silverware back to manchester this season could be defined by a double header with the blues this week... the two sides meet again in the wsl on sunday. hannah england has gone close for chelsea in the last couple of minutes but it remains goalless at half time. there's a full round of fixtures in the scottish premiership this evening in what could be a crucial night in the title race. six matches under way. leaders celtic should win against managerless hibs — celtic leading 1—0, a huge game at pittodrie. third placed aberdeen against second placed rangers they're leading

2-1. celtic currently six points clear of rangers, aberdeen a couple of points further back. celtic currently six points clear. a win would be crucial to keep them in the race. dundee leading 2—1 at kilmarnock. motherwell leadig there at st mirren. west ham are investigating after a video emerged of a fan racially abusing mo salah during monday's draw at the london stadium. he was filmed on a mobile as he took a corner with insults directed at his muslim religion. in a statement the club said anyone identified commiting an offence will face a lifetime ban. great britain's fed cup team are playing on home soil down in bath, the first of four days of competition which sees two groups of four nations taking part all with the ultimate aim to get promoted back to the world group. in the past half hourjohanna konta has beating dalila jakupovic to give great britain the victory over slovenia in round one.

earlier katie boulter won her game against kaya yuvan of slovenia. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at half past ten. thank you, see you later. the earth could now be in its warmest period since records began some 150 years ago, that's according to forecasts by the met office. climate scientists say we could start to see weather events on a scale we've never experienced before. the report also says there's a risk that global temperatures could rise by 1.5 degrees celsius over pre—industrial levels, a tipping point after which there could be rapid and far—reaching changes for our planet. here's our science correspondent, rebecca morelle. from the devastating flooding that's inundating australia, forcing thousands from their homes, to the deadly forest fires that raged across the united states last year and the record—breaking temperatures seen here and across europe over the summer,

it's been a year of extremes, and now scientists warn that there could be more to come. the long term climate protection say... at the met office, researchers have been tracking global temperatures, and their new forecasts suggest we could be in the middle of the warmest decade since records began. this is worrying because this is a new level of temperature extreme, and the regional impacts of that are likely to be unprecedented in some regions. so we're likely to see things that we have not seen in over the 100 years of observational records. a temperature rise of 1.5 celsius above preindustrial levels is set as a threshold by un scientists. anything more could lead to dangerous global impacts. have a look at this graph. the red area shows the predictions the met office has made over the years, and the black lines show the actual temperatures they recorded.

there is a close match. the last four years were the hottest on record. this blue area is their forecast for the next five years. it suggests that the warming trend will continue, with a small chance that temperatures could temporarily exceed 1.5 degrees. the main driver for all this is the greenhouse gas emissions we are producing. we are still too reliant on fossil fuels like coal and globally, levels of carbon dioxide are at a record high. we've got to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases. we've got to reduce concentrations because if we don't, we are looking at really big changes in the climate. we're going into territory that we've never been in before. we haven't experienced this, so we don't know precisely what is going to happen. all eyes will now be watching to see if this forecast plays out. scientists warn that the time to act is running out fast. rebecca morelle, bbc news. the former club of missing

footballer emiliano sala has threatened legal action if it does not receive part of his transfer fee within the next ten days. french side nantes agreed a fee of £15 million with cardiff city last month. but the plane transporting sala from france to cardiff crashed before he could play a single game. from guernsey, sian lloyd has this update. attempts to recover the wreckage of the plane and body that has been identified as being still on board have indeed been continuing out at sea today but there is this development between the two football clubs who were involved with emiliano sala. you may remember that he was cardiff city's star striker, and was on his way from nantes in france to cardiff when the plane lost a radar contact. we have learned that they have made demand over payment of the transfer fee to cardiff city and that cardiff city had not yet made the first scheduled payment

because they say they are unhappy with the documentation and that they need further clarification. it is also understood that nantes have threatened legal action against cardiff city unless payment is made within ten days. the bbc have approached nantes for comment that not yet has been forthcoming. but amid this legal wrangle and this wrangle over money, you have to remember tonight that there are two families, that of emiliano sala and the pilot who are still desperately waiting for news. i will have headlines for you in just a moment but first here is a look at the weather. some very strong winds indeed on parts of england and wales overnight tonight

and the troublemaker is this area of cloud that has been developing very rapidly and a very powerful area of low pressure that is beginning to make inroads in the first place i will see the story winds as parts of wales and the bristol channel. cou nty wales and the bristol channel. county england as well. easily reaching 60—70 mph. and parts of the midlands into east anglia and the southeast and went for strong could bring down one or two trees said there is a risk of transport disruption and you will most certainly see speed restrictions across bridges and away from the wendy south, outbreaks of wind, to come and sail across of scotland. centre in the next stage is very strong winds. hello this is bbc news with me. the headlines. there are calls for the president of the european council, donald tusk, to apologise after he suggested there

was a special place in hell for those who promoted brexit without a clear plan of how to implement it. the comments, were made ahead of a meeting tomorrow with theresa may. by the way, i have been wondering what the special place in hell looks like for those who promoted brexit without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it. safely. the coroner overseeing the inquest into the death of the teenager molly russell, is writing to four social media companies requesting access to her internet history. molly was 1a when she took her own life in 2017, and is believed to have viewed images of self harm and suicide on instagram. you aren't supposed to do that. thank you very much. a rare moment of unity in a divided america — congress celebrates a record number of women in national politics — during president trump's state of the union address.

there's a warning on global warming, as the met office predicts we are in the middle of what is likely to be the hottest decade since records began. the french club nantes has demanded payment from cardiff city over the £15 million transfer of emiliano sala. mr sala was in a plane that crashed into the sea near guernsey last month. the home secretary, sajid javid defends the deportation of a group of people from the uk to jamaica — the first such flight since the windrush scandal. he says they were foreign nationals who had committed "serious crimes". also coming up — should abusive internet trolls be criminally prosecuted? katie price tells us why she is campaigning for a change in the law after comments about her disabled son harvey. let's return to one of those

headline stories. the home secretary, sajid javid, has defended the deportation of a group of people to jamaica, the first such flight since the windrush scandal. he said they were foreign nationals who had committed "serious crimes". campaigners insist some of them have been unfairly targeted. rachel okello is from rogols solicitors — and represents twane morgan who was on the chartered flight early this morning, when his legal team managed to secure an injunction meaning his case will be looked at again. very good of you to join us this evening. thank you very much. you have had a very busy time trying to challenge this deportation flight, which your client you felt had been wrongly put. tell us a little bit about his case. twane morgan is a former commonwealth soldier who served in the british army. and carried out two tours in afghanistan. he was subsequently discharged from the army with

posttraumatic stress disorder. following what we call the lack of duty of care by the army, he entered the dam that ended up committing offences. in particular he had a criminal offence which gave him a prison sentence of six years and this has put him through the deportation proceedings that he is been fighting for the last few yea rs. been fighting for the last few years. sorry, decarie on. he was put on the flight yesterday, bound to jamaica. so on the face of it, from a purely box ticking exercise if you put it that way, according to the home secretary, your client would have ticked the boxes that that flight have ticked the boxes that that flight was applying to. he did have a criminal record. he said they were deporting people who had been convicted of a crime. and he was not a british citizen. but you are saying that these cases are often much more complicated than that? they are more complicated than that. primarily because the immigration law of the united kingdom says that

they are more complicated than that. it is not just they are more complicated than that. it is notjust the case that somebody has a criminal conviction that they are automatically to be deported. there are rules in place, that the home office need to follow and laws in place that the courts need to follow. you cannotjust say because somebody has a criminal offence they should be deported. we also have to look at that human rights and their family life and a length of time they have been in the united kingdom. all those things did count. clearly if you are very concerned that in twane morgan's case there were issues that had been overlooked, that made his situation particularly precarious and something which meant that he should not be being sent back to jamaica, a country with which he does not have many links any more and indeed i believe does not have relatives there any more. indeed, he has no relatives there whatsoever. my was prepared to get the ultimate sacrifice of his life when he enlisted himself into the british army —— twane morgan. myself and the legal team and also psychiatrists and other members of the campaigning tea m and other members of the campaigning team who had really taken this on

passionately, we do believe that twa ne passionately, we do believe that twane morgan is different from any otherforeign national twane morgan is different from any other foreign national criminal because of the duty of care, the army and ndp home office has towards them, because of the fact that he would be destitute if sent back to jamaica. therefore we believe that is not the case that he should be sent back to jamaica, his human rights should be respected. you had a very last minute call to take him off that plane. what is the prospects for him now, and what legal avenues are open to you? we had an injunction from the judge at 5pm on the 5th of february. there we re 5pm on the 5th of february. there were outstanding matters. the home office continued to try to force twa ne office continued to try to force twane morgan onto the plane. he himself was very calm. and we were then required to, in the middle of then required to, in the middle of the night when twane morgan woke me up the night when twane morgan woke me up at1:30am out the night when twane morgan woke me up at 1:30am out of my sleep to say that they were bringing him on the plane notwithstanding the fact that he had an injunction, we were required get another injection, to wa ke

required get another injection, to wake up each edge at court and get a new injunction which we got 5:50 a:m.. twane morgan was already on the plane with his seat belt on and handcuffed and had to be taken off the plane before it left for jamaica. and your point of view, this is not the end of the fight for him? a final question. this is not the end of the fight for him? afinal question. do this is not the end of the fight for him? a final question. do you think there are other people who are caught up in this deportation process and have similar issues to twa ne process and have similar issues to twane morgan and how finding themselves on the wrong end of the law do you believe is being applied wrongly? for us, we were up the entire night fighting against twane morgan's unlawful force removal. there were other people, family members i understand the jamaican high commissioner was involved, and his mp has been heavily involved in this as well. it is clear that there are unlawful deportation is happening and i am shocked to hear if the home secretary believes that there is anyjustification in removing the people on that flight in the way they attempted to be yesterday. thank you very much

indeed. thank you. the hillsborough trial has been told that as the disaster was unfolding, the match commander david duckenfield said ‘a gate had been forced' and ‘there had been an inrush of liverpool supporters'. glen kirton, who was in charge of media relations for the fa, during the 1989 fa cup semi final said he overheard the remark. the match was stopped after six minutes when overcrowding on the terraces caused a fatal crush that killed 96 liverpool fans. 15 protesters who chained themselves to a plane at stansted airport — to stop it deporting people to africa — have avoided immediate jail sentences. three of the group — known as the ‘stansted 15‘ — received suspended prison sentences. 12 others were given community orders after being found guilty of endangering the safety of an aerodrome. the group said they will appeal against their convictions, which they believe have serious implications for the freedom to protest. six of the biggest hotel booking websites have agreed to make major

changes to end misleading sales tactics and hidden charges. it follows an investigation by the competition watchdog which found bad practises including giving a false impression of a room's popularity and not displaying the full cost upfront. here's tom burridge. if you've booked a hotel on these websites, have you got the best deal or have you been pressured by misleading information? i was looking for a room in manchester, just for an evening. i've booked for wales, london, manchester, but when i'm booking i see things like, oh, there's only one of them left or today is the cheapest price. you feel quite rushed, as though you have to book now. otherwise you will miss out on the best offer. it probably does subconsciously play on my mind a bit, that i should probably book it. here on booking.com it says there are only five rooms left at a hotel on its site, but the competition and markets authority says that type of claim often isn't what it seems. you might see a message telling you there's only two rooms left. very often that will mean there's

only two rooms left to book on that site at that time, but there may be other rooms available through other sites or from the hotel itself. you might also see messages saying, there are 15 people looking at this room right now, but actually those people might not be looking at the same dates as you and right now might not mean right now. it might mean in the last 30 minutes. their investigation found that lots of websites have been making hotel rooms seem more popular than they are, and the full cost is not always displayed upfront. booking.com says this hotel is in high demand — 26 bookings today and only one room left tonight. both expedia and hotels.com say there are only two rooms left at this hotel. there's no suggestion that the hotels have done anything wrong but the websites stand accused of pressuring us into clicking and buying. one consumer group says the tactics used to tempt us are sometimes false. you will find a much better price if you phone the hotel directly, tell them the price you have found

with the online travel agent and they will match it, beat it, or something in forfree. booking.com says it will ensure it's more transparent. expedia says it's been working to improve standards across the industry. the six big hotel booking websites have all promised to adhere to better practices. the competition watchdog says not all of them have been misleading consumers. tom burridge, bbc news. the scottish conservatives are investigating reports that one of their mps was escorted out of a parliamentary bar by the police, following concerns about his behaviour. the incident, which is understood to involve the aberdeen south mp ross thomson, is alleged to have happened last night. the metropolitan police say they were called to the bar following a report about "sexual touching", but no arrests were made. the headlines on bbc news... calls for an apology from european council president donald tusk —

as theresa may prepares to return to brussels — he takes aim at the uk's brexiteers the coroner overseeing the inquest into the death of teenager molly russell — is writing to four social media companies, to demand access to her internet history. you weren't supposed to do that! thank you very much. a rare moment of unity in a divided america — congress celebrates a record number of women in national politics — during president trump's state of the union address. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. both in negative territory. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. a special squad of 360 scottish police officers is to be put on stand—by to cope with any disruption caused by brexit. the uk is due to leave the european union at the end of march.

police scotland says the unit will be ready to act not only in scotland but elsewhere. scotland's brexit minister, mike russell, said it was prudent to plan, but also described it as a waste of resources. bbc‘s scotland political editor, brian taylor reports. two thirds of the new squad are public order officers or riot police. a police squadron stress they are primarily preparing for disruption at ports and airports, not civil disorder. we are preparing for a reasonable worst—case scenarios. but this flexible reserve gives us is an ability to respond to planned or spontaneous instinct that may develop. we can expect there reasonable worst—case scenario pressures at ports, seaport and airports, maybe some of the transport infrastructure around them. there may be some heightened political protests for example.

most importantly this reserve is there to protect the people of scotland. as the second—biggest force in the uk, police scotland officers may also be sent elsewhere to help tackle problems including in northern ireland. and as brexit coincides with the easter holiday, there will inevitably be pressure on police leave. there will also be a central initiative to co—ordinate responses from councils and other emergency services. all in all, say scotland's brexit minister, it is an unnecessary and outrageous imposition. i think anybody looking at this would be furious and dismayed. these are demands upon the police force which will have an impact upon individuals, upon theirfamily lives and how they do things. the impact on the budget of the police force for no reason that scotland has asked for. scotland did not vote for this, scotland does not wanted. massive inconvenience, massive disruption, max of expenditure coming from something which is just being dictated to us. we should be angry about this. michael russell told mps that preparations will be stepped up to protect medicines,

food supplies and transport but he stressed that there could be no guarantees. but angry torres set the smp could solve the problem by thanking the prime minister ‘s brexit deal. nicola sturgeon is not interested in negotiating an orderly brexit. she is not interested in governing and all. she is interested on ingredients and grandstanding. ——she is interested only in grievance and grandstanding. there's also a big row over money. here at hollyrood, ministers say that scotland's budget must not be rated to prepare for a nobel departure. that uk ministers say that scotland has received £92 million over two years in readiness for brexit and that the scottish claims are nonsense. scottish ministers insist there will eventually be a bill to settle. scotland's police are used to coping with challenges — including this presidential visit. now they are preparing for brexit. brian taylor, reporting scotland. the ministry ofjustice has launched an investigation after convicted paedophile rolf harris entered the grounds of a primary school.

the school's headteacher confronted the former tv star, who was in conversation with a local sculptor, and asked him to leave the site of the school near maidenhead in berkshire. the ministry ofjustice said it was "looking into these reports and will take appropriate action". the school said no pupils came into contact with him. harris was jailed for five years in 2014 but released on licence in 2017. at least one person has been killed and others buried under rubble, after an eight—storey residential building collapsed in istanbul. pictures from a residential area in the city's kartal district show rescuers trying to find people trapped under the debris. reports suggest at least four people may be missing, and a number of cars were also buried in rubble. the cause of the collapse is not yet known. the government of pakistan says aseia bibi, the christian woman cleared of blasphemy after spending years on death row, is now free to leave the country if she chooses. she will also be offered protection

for the rest of her life, if she stays in pakistan. the country's foreign minister said any nation thinking of helping her should show restraint, and pursue what he called "quiet diplomacy". katie price has called for the criminal prosecution of abusive internet trolls. the former glamour model is pressing for greater online protections following comments made about her disabled son harvey. a little earlier, katie spoke to my colleague victoria derbyshire alongside harvey, about her campaign which she started with help from her mother. we started it together, and itjust goes to prove to never give up. so you need a certain amount of signatures first. to get that sort of petition. and then obviously went to the select committee. let mummy talk, yeah? of course goodbye. ——good boy. we went the select committee, started to other people

to put our pace forward. now it is going to the government in april for the mps to discuss it. so anyone out there, go to a local mp and push him to go because the more mps that go there. it should come for a criminal offence, it is a no—brainer really. there is still a way to go. these mps have said it would be a good idea. you want it to become harvey's law. do you know what the next step is now? gal custody government in april and they discuss it. it's notjust about people with disabilities. it could be someone at work, the workplace, children, the colour of your skin, your sights your gender, anything. but yeah, it is disgusting. i don't see why people to get away with it. because if you say it verbally, you know, you get in trouble. but if it is online and you read about it, people don't take it serious. yeah. how have you coped with the level of terrible trolling that harvey has received ? i have had it a lot myself through the years. i had desensitized myself to it.

but i don't know if that is healthy or not. it is obviously registering somewhere up there. with harvey, because he doesn't understand, there is horrific things i read about him. someone did a video here, when i went to the police they arrested him, and they can't charge you with anything because there wasn't anything in place. that happened online. as you can see, he is still in sitting here. i let anyone want to tell him? he is still innocent. but i would like to say if there any troll that hip up watching for any of you know any trolls, just think about it, what do you get out of taking on somebody like this? always remember if they are somebody that you left imagine if they committed suicide and that they know it was because of online trolls? because that is what you are. so always think about next time you write something. what do you think of those people who abused harvey and yourself over the years?

well, the thing is there has to be a line where, you know, how much abuse does it take for them to get a criminal offence? because someone might have mental health problems out there and they take it out on people and stuff. now that i'm talking about the deliberate haters, effectively, who post something that they know is pretty evil in order to presumably to try and get some reaction. yeah, i have name—and—shamed a lot of them. but it still happens. but i don't know why they would want to pick on him at all. i don't know what people see, like. so this is what mps recommended after you gave evidence. getting disabled people of the same protection under hate crime laws as those who are abused because of their race or religion. social media companies accepting their responsibility for allowing toxic environments to exist unchallenged. and also a register to make it possible to see whether someone had been convicted of a hate crime on the grounds of disability before they got a newjob. i think that is right. someone could be perfect in front of you and then in front of you and then you don't know really the other side of them. katie price there.

the oscars ceremony will take place without a host this month — for the first time in 30 years. the comedian kevin hart had been due to host it, but stepped down from the role in december, after apologising for homophobic comments he'd made a decade earlier. the abc tv network, which broadcasts the ceremony, insisted it would still be an exciting show, even without a host. crime rates, property prices and transport links, are some of the factors many consider, before moving to a new area. but what do young people think about? the radio1 newsbeat team, has been looking into what matters to people under the age of 26, including the number of bars and clubs in an area, as well as the quality of 4g coverage. here's daniel rosney. we looked at 11 different kinds of data for every area and england, wales and scotland. a really simple tool, you do typing your postcode or your local authority and it ranks your local authority and it ranks your area out of ten. he gives you more information as well. he looks at 11 factors for under 26 euros including the number of bars, clubs and music events as well as access to sports facilities and ag. average

rape crisis and levels of unemployment are also used. ——average rent prices and levels of unemployment are also used. esme is 18. she's a home carer and lives in bridport, west dorset. it's one of the bottom five areas to live in britain if you're under 26. that's what this new bbc analysis suggests. people tend to retire in towns like bridport, which is why there's a demand for carers like esmie. it's nice that i know everyone, but if i don't want to go out in bridport, if i want to go for a proper night out as an 18—year—old, then i have to drive about an hour, over an hour, to actually be able to stay up past one or two in the morning. apart from that, it's all right because i can drive. but if you can't drive, i don't see how you could grow up in west dorset, or anywhere, because there's nothing to do. it's quite isolated. and there's literally no

big chains around here. i want to leave and i don't mind coming back, because i love it here. but i don't think i could just stay here forever because i think i need something to mix it up a bit. 60 miles away from bridport is bristol. and that's one of the top five areas for serving its younger population, according to this research. shan describes himself as a proud bristolian, born and bred. every corner that you go to has history about it, has some sort of culture about it and has something unique, and it'sjust so nice because everyone here has a different background and a different story about them and ijust love that about bristol. esme plans to move to gloucester in september to study nursing, but for her, west dorset will always be home. and you can find the ‘know your place' calculator on the bbc news website. the veteran presenter of bbc radio a's today programme, john humphrys, has confirmed he'll

be leaving the show, probably in the autumn. he joined the programme in 1987, after presenting television news bulletins. now 75, he's known for his rigorous interviewing style, and said today his departure would "make other people happier, possibly." good luck to him. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello. pretty windy weather over the next few days. strong winds and heavy outbreak of rain all in the weather forecast. this represents the quiet before the storm. looking at the satellite picture, an area developing. the storm in question is looking increasingly menacing on the satellite picture. what started off as an innocuous looking lump of cloud has been getting bigger and more powerful. through this evening and overnight

the winds were soft and further. 60 miles an hour, strong enough to bring them perhaps one or two trees. there is a risk of some transport disruption through area —— the early hours of thursday morning. strong winds proceed east—west across the midlands, central and southern england into east anglia and the southeast of england. it will be a very blustery night. further north we have that outbreak of rain not just across northern england and wales but further north into northern ireland and scotland where there will be a little bit of snow above the higher ground and the highlands of scotland. to be a bit slippery here first thing thursday morning. we will still have those strong winds first thing across eastern england thursday morning. still rough for the early morning rush hour commute. the rain eases and through the day we are looking at further showers coming in across southern and western areas. it will be quite widespread and blustery. there will also be some cells of sunshine. it was a quite lengthy even into the afternoon. the strongest winds will slowly ease three day. on friday, thursday i should say, we could see some

transport disruption. maybe power supplies being hit by those strong winds as well. notjust them at the winds as well. notjust them at the winds on thursday because we are looking at the next with the system coming in on friday. another deep area of low pressure targeting the uk. isaid area of low pressure targeting the uk. i said by springing a slave of strong winds, severe gals and gusting up to 50—7 enough power. those winds are likely to cost impact on friday and the winds will be quite widespread. the other thing is the rain will be heavy rain for all of us. 60 of the mountains. another concern with some flooding here to the end of the week. the weekend but the prospects? it will stay blustery and there will be for the showers of around at least. quite cooler. there is a small chance of seeing quite a people across southern counties of england. a question of that for sunday. for the time it is blustery and a bit cooler. at is your weather. bye for now. hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. there are calls for an apology from the eu president after after he had this to say

about the uk's pro—brexit politicians. by by the way, i have been wondering what that special place in hell looks like for those who promoted brexit without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it safely. a new report on climate change and extreme weather — we're likely to experience things we've not seen in hundreds of years the pope admits for the first time ever that clerics have sexually abused nuns, and it's still going on. the us secretary of state says us troops will stay in syria to fight is, weeks after president trump said the group had been defeated. we'll be live in washington.
