as a precaution. the force said a number of people received burns and are being treated in hospital but their injuries are not thought to be life—threatening. now it's time for the weather with chris fawkes. but turbulent spell of weather over the next few days. wet and windy weather on the way. the first of these, this area of cloud bringing us these, this area of cloud bringing us way of strong winds across england and wales. low pressure continued to push eastwards as we head into thursday. whence clearing away from eastern england and we will start to see the weather improved. thursday, still very windy gci’oss improved. thursday, still very windy across parts of england and wales. it will take a good part for the winter to ease. heavy blustery

showers, particularly for west of scotla nd showers, particularly for west of scotland although showers for northern ireland and western parts of england and wales. a little bit cooler further north. we're of england and wales. a little bit coolerfurther north. we're not of england and wales. a little bit cooler further north. we're not done with the windy weather. on friday, the next weather system moving in drinks heavy rain and some further strong gusts of wind. dales and severe gales. this next system racing across the atlantic, it will bea racing across the atlantic, it will be a windy old system. most gusts we reaching 70 miles per hour. concerns for parts of northern scotland with 30 millimetres of rain possible. the risk of some localised flooding. a double whammy, strong winds and rain potentially bringing flooding to northern scotland. temperatures around 10— ii northern scotland. temperatures around 10— 11 degrees celsius. into

the weekend, cost moving down bringing bands of heavy showers, affecting scotland. a bit of winton is in northern ireland in the high ground. temperatures at still on the mild side the england and wales. the second half of the weekend gets more complicated. quite a lot of uncertainty with sunday's weather forecast. low pressure bringing wet and windy weather or showers. sunny spells either way for most. temperatures coming down on account of the northerly winds. between 4— seven celsius in the second half of the weekend. on monday a significant change. breezy but mostly dry with

spells of sunshine although the cloud could seek an in the north to bring a passing showers. temperatures fairly close to normal for this time of year. that change in our weather fortunes is caused by the jet stream which instead of having a troth has a rich running over the top of the uk encouraging descending air to the uk, building an area of high pressure most likely to happen southern england may be northern france. the weather is most likely to be at its driest with decent frost. across the far north of scotland, spells of wet and windy weather at times. the next few days looking pretty turbulent. hello. this is bbc news with me, rachel schofield. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. but first, our headlines: the european council president donald tusk has been strongly

criticised for suggesting there was a special place in hell for those who'd promoted brexit without a plan to deliver it. the comments were made ahead of a meeting tomorrow with theresa may. by 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 14 when she took her own life in 2017, and is believed to have viewed images of self harm and suicide on instagram. as venezuela's crisis intensifies, we gain rare access inside one of the country's hospitals, to find a health service collapsing. the country's president, nicolas maduro, denies there is a humanitarian crisis and blames his country's problems on sanctions.

you are not supposed to do that. —— weren't. 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. hello and a warm welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. joining me are grace blakeley, the economic commentator for the new statesman and caroline wheeler, deputy political editor of the sunday times. lots of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the telegraph leads on european council president donald tusk, he said there was that "special place in hell for those who promoted brexit, without even a sketch of a plan how to carry it out safely". the metro says his comments "stoke

the flames" and they use the headline "50 days until brexit and all hell breaks loose". mr tusk‘s comments also making the front page of the guardian, they call the row a "vicious war of words". the government's failure to secure most of britain's post—brexit trade deals, even if parliament approves theresa may's deal, infuriates business leaders, according to the financial times. "britain's shame" — the mirror dedicates the whole front page to homelessness, telling the story of a mum whose unborn baby died of the cold. the express is asking "how can a row over money deny them a longer life?", picturing children who they say have been denied drugs because of cost. and a man who spent four hours crossing the country to reach his injured mother arrived before her ambulance did, says the mail. mark clements caught a bus, two tubes, and two trains to get from london to devon. soa

so a range of stories there but understandably, it is brexit that has captured the imagination, particularly because donald to ask with 50 days to go has had quite a lot to say about brexiteers and the hellish position they put people in according to him. quite. there is of course no plan, as he suggests the government has been in this state of shambles for a really long time but thatis shambles for a really long time but that is not really the reason these comments have sparked so much fury, it is more to do with the fact that his comments suggest that he has no desire to understand or has spent the last two years failing to get to grips with why a lot of people in this country did vote to leave the european union and a lot of that has to do with the antipathy that is directed towards european elites like mr tusk, who are quite far away from the populations they are supposed to be serving. people will be saying you are telling us there isa be saying you are telling us there is a special place in hell is that for us, we did not wait for you, and

comments kind of reallyjust intensify that divide that has opened up in british society between those who see the eu as this kind of representative of a particular set of cultural and economic interest, and those who see it as it actually having presided over very long period of economic and social and political decline. interesting, you are saying that his comment is almost aimed at the brexiteers themselves on the idea of wrecks and i suppose one might say that the su btlety of i suppose one might say that the subtlety of his comment is not that he is saying you got a place in hell if you are brexiteer, it is if you area if you are brexiteer, it is if you are a brexiteer and you have not really thought to what you wanted in the first place. you could argue it is for the prime minister herself, his pointing the finger and saying hang ona his pointing the finger and saying hang on a second, we have got brexit here in it is how many years beyond the brexit referendum now? the years, and still we have not really seena plan years, and still we have not really seen a plan of how you're going to get out of all of this. i think grace is right to a certain extent, it shows that he is not really

understood some of the issues behind it equally, i think there is also belies the fact that everybody is getting increasingly frustrated with this process and we see that theresa may is going back to brussels once again to try and get concessions from the european union, despite the fa ct from the european union, despite the fact that they have consistently said they are not going to reopen the withdrawal agreement, i think it just shows that everyone is getting increasingly frustrated with this merry—go—round. increasingly frustrated with this merry-go-round. theresa may is heading there tomorrow and one might say she is heading into a rather fiery atmosphere. she said she might wa nt to fiery atmosphere. she said she might want to reopen the negotiation that they has said that is not on the table. the conversations in the tory party, particularly the erg, have really held theresa may to ransom in this process and she has given into again and again and again, and they are the ones who really put paid to this idea that the backstop is going to work, this is this feature range of 20 uk and the eu, based on the

irish border. the brexiteers have passed, the house passed the brady amendment last week, which is intended to say that if alternative arrangements in other backstop are agreed with the brexiteers particularly worried that it might leave them in extended customs arrangements, they might just leave them in extended customs arrangements, they mightjust back the deal. of course, what those alternative arrangements are have yet to be agreed or commented on. it is very difficult to see how this issueis is very difficult to see how this issue is going to be resolved without either the hard border or customs arrangements. what we seem to be hearing is what those arrangements are not going to be, and some of the things that the brexiteers are looking to hover like technology for example, at the eu immediately rule out an say it is back to unicorns, is not going to happen. we just immediately end up backin happen. we just immediately end up back in this impasse with the eu and wondering how we are going to get out of it. look, we told you how reasonable they are, look at how

unreasonable this tweet is, that is exactly why we have got to live this people. spiteful and rude man, some of said, and so on. now weighing into the debate, someone that somerset has been too quiet over the last two years, is jeremy corbyn. labour are saying that they will throw their support behind the agreement that there are five legally binding agreements they would like to see first please. —— someone would like to see first please. —— someone who has been. well, this actually does not change anything. he's set down these tests and they said if you meet these tests, label for their support behind the deal. what both of us have been funny intriguing is actually if you look at, it not surprising, the main thing being a permanent customs union, which of course will ameliorate the need for there to be

an irish backstop, which will solve some of those problems. what is not sold as the fact that that will send brexiteers into the stratosphere, they will claim that this is a betrayal of brexit, it is not us properly living, but what we found particularly interesting is that this is not actually about the withdrawal agreement itself, what jeremy corbyn is actually talking about here is that he is talking about here is that he is talking about making these commitments in the political declaration rather than the withdrawal agreement, which is interesting because had he said it needs to be in the withdrawal agreement, that makes it an impossible test for her. she cannot possibly do that because the eu have been so intransigent about reopening the withdrawal agreement. it is talking about having a legally binding thing within the political declaration, which at the moment is still huge and would be even longer than the withdrawal agreement, but at the moment is very small and is subject to interpretation, that mightjust offer a later by which some labour mps could climb down. however, the big, big issue here is

still whether or not the prime minister herself would ever entertain the idea of a customs union. and of course, the big issue forjeremy corbyn here as they say is that this intervention will dismay in backbenchers and grassroots activist still hoping he will sway the party's policy into demanding a second referendum. both parties have people on both sides we re parties have people on both sides were champing at the bit and disagreeing with each other. brexit has split both parties down the middle really and this is acting jeremy corbyn responding to his critics have said that he has not show leadership on this and trying to extend an olive branch, bringing the different sides of the debate together on this. we know for a while that the only real idea that commands a majority in parliament on brexit is some sort of close relationship that would mitigate the need for a backstop and would really entail very little economic disruption. so yeah, jeremy corbyn has come forward and said as we were

hearing, that changes to the political declaration which will determine, well, will not determine but will guide the future relationship, could yet he and others to back theresa may's brexit withdrawal agreement. but you're right, is also a logical conclusion to end up at this place because if you back at labour's conference, which is where a lot of brexit policy from labour has come from, number one we want a general election, that is not happened. numbertwo, we want election, that is not happened. number two, we want people '5 vote, i think number two, we want people '5 vote, ithinka number two, we want people '5 vote, i think a lot of people within the office would say the fact that they would not even back the extension of article 50 and the labour amendment la st article 50 and the labour amendment last time around basically opened the door to extending the idea and thatis the door to extending the idea and that is not happen. the third idea is alternative arrangements for future relationship moving forward. rigaud going to have to move forward. before we brexit, the ft,

caroline, i will just forward. before we brexit, the ft, caroline, i willjust get you to mention their lead story. —— before we leave. trade after brexit might not look quite how we were promised, apparently. this is one of the big promises the secretary made early on after we left the mac after the referendum. he would go around the world and set these trade deals. five minutes past midnight. as you were. it is going to be fine. business leaders are saying that is not going to happen and there are some, if not most trade agreements which will not be ready if we leave on march 29. but they will not tell the business leaders which country they are so they are in the dark. my business is predicated with this country and

they do not know if they will be impacted and that has created this stop about what life is don't look like. put your economics have an talk us through this huge company, many people may not have heard of them but employ 16,000 people, maintaining army bases, it cleaning the underground and they have been ina spot the underground and they have been in a spot of bother? at the beginning of the sea, a big company took on big debts. there were speculations that the government might step in and bail them out. they had pfi contracts at searcher. when they happen a lot of other our pricing services like interserve

sore prices fall. it has taken out a huge amount of debt, interserve and it is true of a lot of british firms, loaded up on debt and as the economy slows down it will become a big issue. what we are seeing with interserve it is basically being taken interserve it is basically being ta ken over by interserve it is basically being taken over by its creditors, becoming shareholders, many of them big banks. if the banks can manage to help them out of the problems is debatable. i would argue it not cause it is a finance —based model and why it is in the problems it is in. lots of food for thought. the daily mirror, no brexit to be seen but looking at the issue of rough sleeping and homelessness.”

but looking at the issue of rough sleeping and homelessness. i am pleased they are looking at this as an issue which has really been underreported and brexit bears some responsibility because we have been looking at the intricacies that it is an important story. they have got around the country to talk to the people on the streets and the stories they have found is that in a lot of cases there were things happening in people ‘s lives, maybe mental health problems, this terrible story of an whose unborn baby died of the cold, someone who broke his back, and people living in the thoroughfare where mps are going, a former army that trend here had been able to get a job, living

rough out there. women who had had mental issues for years. really complex issues that had led people on to the streets and the problem becomes compound by this terrible drug we have which turns them into zombies but they were taking the drug because it was better to be unconscious than cold. the guardian, a lovely picture, some happy faces after a difficult time, one might say for the stanford 15, spared jailed over deportation protests. reminders briefly what this was about and the changes happening today. they tried to stop a plane taking off that was deporting a variety of citizens who were in the uk illegally and were deported potentially to places where the human rights would be violated. they could potentially have faced jail

time, some were mothers, really severe potential sentences that is act of actual courage, putting themselves on the line to prevent other people from potentially facing horrific conditions of elsewhere in the world. thankfully today the judge has accepted their motives we re judge has accepted their motives were correct. that even the idea that these people could go to jail for a very long time for a effectively expressing their activism and coming together to practise is troubling. the human rights barrister was having to make that case between balancing airport security — which a lot of people are concerned about— and freedom of speech. interesting issues. iam whizzing through because i promised everybody we would talk about these magical bees. what is the story?

this is a scientific study which comes the conclusion that these can understand mathematics and can navigate parcels, which i find astonishing. i have two six—year—old twins which struggled to do the same things these bees can. it is one of those things in life that they are talking about such small creatures and handling mathematical cognition. and it is possible it is shared among animals. can we get them to manage brexit for us? andrew krakouer if the bees would make a different calculation. —— i wonder if the bees. maybe we could send them to brussels and have a go. that is it for the papers. then forget you can see the front pages of the

papers on line on the bbc website. seven days a week. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, grace blakeley and caroline wheeler. goodbye. good evening. manchester city back to the top of the premier league with a win over everton tonight, 2-0. with a win over everton tonight, 2—0. city went ahead just before half time. then the seconds before the final whistle, they made it to and that result was ahead of liverpool on goal difference, albeit

off to the north sea through the day. in the afternoon a lot of around, mild in the south and showers packed into the north—west. through the evening, eastern areas remain fine. through the evening, eastern areas remainfine. in through the evening, eastern areas remain fine. in the west, the clouds sta rts remain fine. in the west, the clouds starts to build. the rain quite chilly, a frost here so perhaps some ice as of this system runs into the colder air and ground ice as of this system runs into the colderairand ground and ice as of this system runs into the colder air and ground and a little bit of snow for a time also. elsewhere a mild the story. this is because of this area of low pressure arrowing in from the atlantic, a deep low, the wind are the defining feature of our weather story for friday and on to saturday once again. if anything, friday and on to saturday once again. ifanything, the friday and on to saturday once again. if anything, the risks of distructive is winds will be widespread. on the saturday, covering all but potentially the far north of scotland. the rain whipping across england and wales fairly quickly with sunshine following

behind. a mild story for scotland. but the range swelling so the totals could add up. the low also keeps winds strong for the first half of the weekend so again potentially problematic, especially if you have plans to travel. northern ireland, northern england getting some rain and then it is eyes to the south of the chance of some heavy rain pushing into southern areas for the second half of the weekend. hello, everyone. this is newsday. i'm rico hizon in singapore. the headlines: the starkest warning yet on climate change. scientists say the world's set for the hottest decade ever recorded. we are looking at really big changes in the climate, we are going into territory that we have never been in before. we have not experienced this so we before. we have not experienced this so we don't know precisely what is
