this is bbc news — i'm reeta chakrabarti. the headlines at 8pm. the daily telegraph will publish more allegations against billionaire sir philip green tonight — after he dropped an injuction against the paper. the businessman denies allegations of sexual and racial abuse. these gagging orders are being used to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct and racial abuse by, by wealthy, powerful men. the family of the footballer, emiliano sala, say they can now mourn, after his body was recovered from the english channel. after the death of four children in a house fire in stafford, two people are arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. theresa may is meeting her irish counterpart in dublin — as she continues to try to seek changes to the brexit withdrawal agreement. never bite unless the bait is good. and the star of stage and screen — albert finney — has died aged 82 after a short illness.

good evening. the use of confidentiality, or non disclosure agreements, is in the spotlight again this evening, after sir philip green's legal action against the daily telegraph newspaper, was formally ended by a high courtjudge. the owner of topshop, who denies claims of unlawful sexual and racist behaviour made by the newspaper, has condemned it's reporting, and accused the telegraph of a ‘vendetta' against him. however his alleged victims, are still prevented from speaking out, because they signed non disclosure agreements. here's our special correspondent, lucy manning. sir philip green has the yacht, the business empire and the knighthood but his reputation has been damaged by allegations

from former employees. he tried to block the telegraph publishing them but today dropped his injunction against the paper. the five former staff members alleging sexual harassment and racial abuse are still gagged and the paper failed to get their nondisclosure agreements overturned. this woman was not prevented from speaking out. she worked for sir philip in his las vegas store and claimed he sexually harassed her on numerous occasions. i do not genuinely think he thought he could get into this lawsuit with the telegraph and win and kind of buy and push his way through silencing people, and it did not work out in his favour and i absolutely think that the former or current employees that have been restrained by these ndas in the uk should be able to speak out. the editor of the telegraph have been warned by sir philip that the paper might end up bankrupt ever printed the

allegations about him. sir philip described the allegations as no more than banter and if that is so, then he could very easily lift those ndas and allow them to speak freely and that is what we urge him to do. what do you want the government to do? i would like parliament to take up this issue and i would like mrs may to act. she has spoken about being uneasy about the use of ndas after we have identified how they have been misused but so far she has only spoken about reviews and i would like to see action. sir philip green has denied allegations of unlawful sexual or racist behaviour but his lawyers conceded he was hot—headed, made comments about the clothes and weight of people and put his arms around them in a nonsexual way. sir philip green in the statement accused the telegraph of pursuing a vendetta against him, his company and of harassing staff. he called on the paper to do the decent thing and ndas, otherwise he warned of potential legal and financial consequences

for his former employers. his view of the confidentiality agreements, that those who signed them did willingly after getting legal advice, but some mps think change is overdue. it cannot be right that wealthy, powerful businesses can use the law to silence victims. we have to make sure that we have got better protections in place and i think that the court ruling today has shown that parliament needs to look at this and look at it quickly. the businessman decided to drop his court case against the telegraph, calling it pointless, after his identity was revealed in the house of lords by peter hain. the fact that sir philip green withdrew his injunction and refused to proceed with it is a vindication of what i did. some of sir philip's former employees are still silenced but the telegraph no longer is, so the businessmen will be back on the front page tomorrow.

lizzie manning, bbc news. theresa may is in dublin tonight, having talks over dinner with the irish prime minister leo varadkar. he's said he wants to ‘restore confidence and trust‘ with the prime minister — for whom this is the latest attempt to resolve the brexit impasse over ireland's border. but mr varadkar said earlier today that this meeting won't be a renegotiation of brexit — he was speaking after meeting political parties in belfast. let's speak now to our dublin correspondent shane harrison. shane, leo varadkar wants to restore confidence and trust but how is he going to do that? l, theresa may is expected here very shortly. the irish government, and she said, is saying that these are not going to be brexit negotiations. they are going to be discussions. the official line here is that the talks

are primarily about restoring devolution to northern ireland and protecting the good friday agreement. the two governments of the programme in terms of that agreement but there is an elephant in the room called brexit. the irish government has been insistent that there will be no renegotiation of there will be no renegotiation of the withdrawal agreement. but they are urging to look at the future political declaration. i have been floated about, changing the backstop such as technology, such as an exit clause for britain and such as a timeframe by which the uk to meet the european union's backstop as proposed. at the irish government has been consistently saying that those ideas have been tried, they have been tested and found wanting in the negotiations that led up to the withdrawal agreement. the irish government must surely be increasingly worried though, that there is a clear possibility that there is a clear possibility that the uk might believe in the european union without a deal. and that would

be presumably something that would worry them very much, given that it would leave the issue of the board com pletely would leave the issue of the board completely unresolved. absolutely. that is the case. but the taoiseach oi’ that is the case. but the taoiseach or the irish prime minister leo varadkar has been consistently of the view that there will be some sort of resolution that the uk and the european union will reach a deal. as hejoined me, i can hear in the distance what sounds like the prime minister's convoy arriving here in dublin towards fernley. of course the irish government is worried about a no—deal brexit and what it calls a hard border. it is also having to prepare for that possibility. and this week the taoiseach or the prime minister leo varadkar was taoiseach or the prime minister leo varadkarwas in taoiseach or the prime minister leo va radkar was in brussels, taoiseach or the prime minister leo varadkar was in brussels, talking to the european commission and looking at special funding for ireland, for that particular eventuality of there being a no—deal brexit. that particular eventuality of there being a no-deal brexit. shane, many

thanks. thank you very much. shane harrison there, our dublin correspondent. the family of the cardiff city footballer, emiliano sala, say they can now begin to mourn his death, after police confirmed his body was found in the wreckage of a plane in the english channel. the 28—year—old was travelling to cardiff in a light aircraft piloted by david ibbotson, which went missing off guernsey last month. duncan kennedy reports. the news that it was emiliano sala and not david everything that had been found came from the dorset coroner. his family seen the earlier said today "is with infinite sadness that we confirm the identity. the statement said. at cardiff city stadium, the colours

on the ground stood out against the grey of the sky. and the confirmation that emiliano sala had been found brought renewed reflection. most everybody expects the worst, when it happened i got a phone call last night in the evening and... it was strange, really. i think obviously it brings the family peace, and i think that is what we got, offers and comfort, isn't it? except for david ibbotson has been called off in the channel because of bad weather. for emiliano sala, whose speed often left defenders chasing his number nine shirt, the ultimate players tribute. his club na ntes ultimate players tribute. his club nantes say they will not retire that shirt in his memory. duncan kennedy, bbc news. two motions of no confidence in the labour mp, luciana berger, tabled by members of her local party

in liverpool wavertree, have been withdrawn. ms berger, who isjewish, has criticised mr corbyn for his handling of the party's anti—semitism row and his stance on brexit. a source withinjeremy corbyn‘s office said it was the right decision. the deputy leader tom watson has written to the party's general secretary, calling for the local party to be suspended. the world's richest man, jefbezos, bayzos, has accused the owners of the american celebrity magazine, the national enquirer, of extortion and blackmail. mr bayzos, who founded the online retailer amazon, says the magazine's owners demanded he stop an investigation, into how the national enquirer, obtained private messages between him and a woman he was having an affair with. he claims he was told that if he didn't, the magazine would publish more intimate details. our north america editor jon sopel reports. when the celebrity magazine national enquirer published intimate text and photographs between the owner of amazon, jeff bezos, and his lover, it looked like a classic tabloid sting against the world's richest man.

i sold about $1 billion a year of amazon stock. butjeff bezos, who never needs to use the sentence, "i wonder if i can afford this", launched his own counter investigation into how the magazine got hold of them. this seems to have panicked the national enquirer. they now stand accused of trying to blackmail bezos into dropping his investigation. but the amazon owner didn't blink. last night he called their bluff, publishing himself what the threat was. the magazine has deeply personal and embarrassing photos of him and his lover in their possession. mr bezos wrote about the magazine's owners, ami... and this is where it gets murky.

jeff bezos is also the owner of the washington post whose political coverage has infuriated donald trump. the owner of the national enquirer is david pecker, a close personal friend of the president, who has done special ops for him in the past. so was this just a tabloid story, or was it a political hit job on a trump enemy? just before the election, a former playboy model, karen mcdougall, wanted to go public with long—standing allegations that she had had an affair with donald trump. the national enquirer bought the exclusive rights to her story for $150,000, and her silence, but never published it. a policy known as "catch and kill". ami have said they will launch an investigation into the claims by mr bezos. this famous magazine is on the defensive in a way it has not been before.

it looks like they picked a fight with the wrong man. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. earlier i spoke tojulia manchester — a reporter at the the hill for some reaction to this and started by asking her whether this was politically motivated in any way? it really has yet to be seen, but looking at the history of donald trump and his relationship with david pecker, it is something that could potentially be looked into. for years president trump, when he was a real estate developer and he was on the apprentice on nbc in the us, he was all over the american tabloids, and the most prominent american tabloid would be the national enquirer owned by david pecker and ami, so we clearly have a tight relationship with him. we saw that during the 2016 campaigning during the beginning of the trump administration. pecker, the national enquirer,

ran a series of stories that were very favourable to president trump and had very pro—trump coverage. after ami agreed to co—operate with the state district of the new york, there were reports that pecker‘s relationship with trump. we recently haven't seen very many pro trump stories coming out of the national enquirer. however trump does has a very shaky relationship with the washington post. after he was elected, he immediately started going after the washington post, even during the campaign election say. washington post coined the term, their slogan "democracy dies in darkness" which is a clear hit at the top administration and their treatment of the press. so there's clearly a tension between trump and the washington post, and jeff bezos. so it definitely could be a possibility that this could be a political hitjob. but one thing i would also like to bring up is that we also saw the washington post reported last

night that it does not appear that bezos' text messages were have they ate external source, so that could mean a government entity could possibly be behind all of this. that is the reported julia manchester speaking to me a little bit earlier. the headlines on bbc news... a high courtjudge allows the billionaire, sir philip green, to formally end his legal action against the daily telegraph. the family of cardiff city footballer emiliano sala say they can now mourn him — after police confirm it was his body recovered from the english channel. a man and a woman are arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence after four children died in a house fire in stafford. sport now — and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzy greenwood hughes. good evening. racing's lock—down shows no signs of ending quickly after three more cases of equine flu were confirmed today — all of them from the yard of donald mccain — the source of the original outbreak. 174 racing yards are now essentially in quarantine while trainers await any possible symptoms. currently racing is cancelled until atleast wednesday causing huge financial loss and concern aboutjump racing's biggest and most lucrative event —

the cheltenham festival which is just 32 days away. it potentially can be incredibly serious. in the economic health consequences of an uncontrolled spread of an infectious disease, you know, can be incredibly severe. so we can to, first of all, control and limitany we can to, first of all, control and limit any further spread put in place of surveillance measures, and it then plan around what we now and how we manage the situation. england have dropped wicketkeeper ben foakes for the final test match against the west indies tomorrow, withjonny bairstow to keep wicket. ben stokes has been named in the 12 man squad along with mark wood and keaton jennings, who was dropped for the second test.

stokes had been a doubt after suffering a bruised heel earlier in the week. had great success entry like that. did some really good things over there. it has not quite materialised for us here. whether that be down to selection or whether that be dancing how poorly we have played, you have to see it for what it is. as a player and as a selector, how can you then move that forward and you best exploit these conditions that are right in front of us now? we've got to look after this we can make sure we get a very good account of ourselves and the guys that did get the opportunity, take that responsibility and make sure that they are the ones going to put in really big performances for the country. the premier league and the football league have confirmed that all teams will wear black armbands as a mark of respect to cardiff striker emiliano sala following the recovery of his body from a plane in the english channel. the cardiff city owner vincent tan has issued a statement this afternoon

expressing his condolences. there will also be a minute's silence at st mary's ahead of cardiff's game at southampton tomorrow. teams in france will hold a minute's applause. great britain's fed cup team are still on course for saturday's play—off — they're ahead in their 3rd match of the round—robin tournament against hungary... that's after they comfortably beat slovenia and greece over the past two days at bath university. katie boulter has just won their first singles rubber — but she had to dig deep against dalma galfi. after winning the first set 6—4, she let galfi come back to take the second on a tie break. the third also went to a tie break which this time when boulter‘s way. british number onejo konta plays next against anna bondar. if britain beat hungary, they'll play the other group winners on saturday for a place in the world group play—offs in april. week two of the women's six nations kicked off tonight with scotland hosting ireland in glasgow. ireland had taken the lead at the scotstoun stadium through eefer mcdermott before hannah smith responded for scotland.

a short time ago it was 5—5. 0ne match in the premiership tonight with reigning champions saracens at worcester. thomas whiteley scored the opening try for sarries. they lead 15—0. that's all the sport for now. i'll back back in the next hour. many thanks. two people have been arrested, on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence, after the deaths of four children, in a house fire in staffordshire. 0ur correspondent sima kotecha has the latest. on tuesday morning at around 2:40am, a fire erupted in one of the houses behind me. it destroyed the upstairs of the house and parts of the roof. four children died in that fire. they were riley holt who was eight years old, keegan unit who was six,

unit who was three and ali ali unit who was three. staffordshire police today released a statement saying that two people have been arrested in connection to that fire. 24—year—old woman and a 28—year—old man. in a statement they say they have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. they also go on to say in a statement that they don't want people to rush to conclusions here and speculate, and they say that the two people who have been arrested are currently in custody. 0ur correspondent sima kotecha there. detectives investigating the disappearance of a 21—year—old student in hull, have been granted an extra 36 hours to question a man. libby squire went missing just over a week ago. she was last seen outside her home, less than a mile from the suspect‘s house. a convicted killer, who murdered a vulnerable woman, and then dismembered her body, has been jailed for life. julie reilly, was killed in herflat in glasgow a year ago. parts of a leg have been found, but the rest of her body hasn't been recovered. andrew wallace who's 42, has been ordered to serve at least 28 years in prison.

a 21—year—old cadet has been found dead in an apparent suicide, at the army's officer training college at sandhurst in berkshire. the woman's body was believed to have been found in her room on wednesday. thames valley police says it's treating the death as unexplained, but not suspicious. the oscar—nominated actor albert finney, has died at the age of 82, after a short illness. he began his career at the royal shakespeare company, before forging a reputation as one of britain's leading screen actors, in films such as saturday night and sunday morning, tom jones, and erin brockovich. will gompertz looks back on his life. music. albert finney was one of the original angry young men, a salford born bookmaker‘s son who helped redefine british film and theatre in the early 1960s. i'd take a tip from the fishes.

never bite unless the bait's good. i won't get married until i'm good and ready. he appeared in a raft of so called kitchen—sink dramas depicting the everyday drama and frustration of working—class life in post—war britain. i could get through it in half the time if i went like a ball. but they would only slash my wages, so they can get stuffed. he won a bafta for this performance, leading some to speculate that he could be the next laurence 0livier... when 0thello's dead... to whom he would allude when playing this actor—manager in the dresser, and when among friends, he would parody. we were all walking around as sir lawrence walked around in the film, with a limp and a hump, and a kind of deformed strange left hand. and we used to be pressing the elevator button to get to your class, saying... as olivier/richard iii: i must take the lift... to fencing! i feel awake for the first time, madam. he turned down the opportunity to play the lead role in the film, lawrence of arabia, choosing instead the title role in tom jones, an 18th—century romantic adventure. albert finney had arrived. an international star of stage and screen with an eye for the ladies and the talent

to take on a wide range of roles. don't be so daft, lottie. from directing and starring in charlie bubbles, to playing agatha christie's hercule poirot. we now come to my own reconstruction of the night of the murder. when people look back at the gallery of his roles in the movies, and don't forget he was a great stage actor to in the early days, i think people will always celebrate the versatility, the power, the humour, the humanity. a0 years after his film career began a new direction of film directors discovered his remarkable screen charisma, casting him as a gruff lawyer in erin brokovich... and you and me are going to make them pay for it. ..and a gruffer churchill in the gathering storm. in 35, i was home secretary. at 37, first lord of the admiralty, and at 50, chancellor of the exchequer.

doing pretty well. not bad. now look at me. albert finney never forgot his roots. he refused a knighthood because he considered it "snobby". above all, he was a serious actor. a rare performer, such that, if he was in something, you would pay attention. let's speak now to now to author gabriel hershman, who wrote a biography of albert finney and who joins me from sofia in bulgaria... you saw albert finney several times on the stage. tell us about his presence on the stage? it was incredible. i saw him in and another time and and reflected glory and and reflected glory and he was just incredible.

and and reflected glory and he wasjust incredible. he had this kind of extraordinary presence when he walked on stage. hejust looked at him. it was like he disqualified everyone else on the stage. you just looked on him. he was an incredible guy. he had an incredible presence. and a natural gift for acting? yes. he had an extraordinary gift for acting, and it was just an extraordinary thing. you are his biographer. what impression would you give of him as a man? i think that albert tended to prioritise a life over art. i don't think that acting was his top priority. i think he was more keen on living life than living art, if you see what i mean. but i mean he

was professional city core of his being. he was a stupendous actor. i think at the end of the day, he was very keen on his private passions, including lying in horses and may be women and things like that. —— including wine and horses. everyone said that he would live up to the reputation and things like this, but i don't think that albert finney himself was so keen on these kind of things. i think he was just keen on living life to this at most, if you see what i mean. and he had a lack of interest in honours, for example. i was speaking to someone a little earlier who said he turned down a knighthood. he did turn down a knighthood. he did turn down a knighthood. i don't think he was

very fond of the system in england, and cannot really blame them really. he said that the class system was unworthy, really. it perpetuated the snobbery of the united kingdom. that is the way that he saw it. you cannot blame him, really. i think albert was the kind of guy who, and this is generally i interviewed so many people and they said, when he was on a production or a film he was as friendly with the stage manager as friendly with the stage manager as he was with a famous costar. he didn't care who they were. he just wa nted didn't care who they were. he just wanted to support anybody in whatever role they had. and he was very friendly with everybody. he didn't care what their title was. and i think that albert was very hostile to be home idea that anybody would be elevated about anybody else. very nice picture there of albert

finney. many thanks for talking to us on finney. many thanks for talking to us on bbc news. thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. good evening. the wet weather will persist in the north and west of scotland, norther ireland in particular whilst it clears on this weather front from the south. but this is storm erik so for all parts we will continue to bear the brunt of some very powerful winds. that's in excess of 50 mph for many of us. 60 and 70 and expels coastal areas over the hills and across the north. a little bit of wintry hills over north. those winds will continue to being the risk of disruption. actually they will persist blowing gales through saturday. east anglia particularly easing through the second half of the day and it does look a bit drier.

yes there will be showers around but most of the rain will be in the north. and later in the south, this is what happens on sunday. a potential for some very wet weather again across seven areas. some wintry needs of any hills, lots of showers in the north as well. and it will start to feel colder. that is it for now. hello, this is bbc news with reeta chakrabarti. the headlines.... the billionaire sir philip green has dropped an injunction that had stopped the daily telegraph publishing accusations against him of sexual and racial abuse, allegations he denies. the paper says it will publish more allegations tonight. the family of cardiff city footballer emiliano sala says they can now mourn him — after police confirmed yesterday that it was his body recovered from the english channel. after the death of four children in a house fire in stafford on tuesday, two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. theresa may has arrived in dublin to meet her irish counterpart, leo varadkar — as she tries to seek changes to the brexit withdrawal agreement.

the actor albert finney — whose big film break came as "angry young man" arthur seaton in saturday night and sunday morning — has died at the age of 82. your daddy is making at the department store. you need to listen. listen to what! and the oscar nominated director barryjenkins returns to the big screen with if beale street could talk ? see what mark kermode thinks of that — and this week's other releases — in the film review at quarter—to—nine. the giant drax power station in north yorkshire has become the first in the world to capture carbon dioxide by burning wood pellets. the company says the electricity it is producing during a trial at the plant near selby is carbon negative and helping to combat climate change on a very small scale. but environmentalists have expressed opposition. our environment analyst

roger harrabin reports. we humans owe trees a great debt. when they're growing, they absorb much of the carbon dioxide emissions that are overheating the planet. that is why the uk's biggest power station, drax in yorkshire, has largely shifted away from coal. the new fuel is in these giant domes. they're filled with wood pellets that will be burned to make electricity. when the pellets are burned, they will only release the c02 the growing trees captured in the first place. this is known as carbon neutral. now drax is going one step further. with this equipment, it is taking the exhaust gases from the wood burning, and it is stripping out the carbon dioxide. the flue gas comes in here, and these tanks use a special chemical to separate out the c02. the c02 will later be able to be sold for industrial purposes. capturing the carbon dioxide from wood is a radical step.

it's known as going carbon negative. so we are piloting a technology that actually removes the carbon emissions when we use bioenergy to produce electricity. so actually becoming a carbon negative power station, which we believe is absolutely critical, if we are to hit our global warming targets, and keep temperatures below preindustrial levels. but what to do with that captured carbon dioxide? well, in nearby leeds, this firm is buying carbon dioxide, and mixing it with incinerator ash from these hoppers. blending the c02 with the ash creates artificial limestone pellets. you can see the heat from the chemical reaction. the pellets get turned into building blocks like these. it's ingenious to take a waste product like c02 and turn it into something useful like this. the problem is one of scale. one report suggests that to solve our energy problems,

we would need to be burning wood from forests three times the size of india. think of the impact. when wood is burnt, you take carbon that has been stored in forests, forests that have been growing often for hundreds of years, certainly for decades, you cut it down, you burn them. it will take new forests decades to grow back, if they are able to grow back at all. so the healthy climate relies on healthy forests. we need to have more of them. drax say there is plenty of timber for current levels of burning. they think they will be asked to expand their c02 capture experiment to help stabilise the climate. roger harrabin, bbc news, in yorkshire. dr maria carvalho is a consultant on renewable energy. she's been telling me about the pro and cons of this carbon capture project. so it is a good thing in terms

of the carbon capture and storage technology. now, across all the reports, international reports by scientists, carbon capture and storage technologies are a very necessary component to making sure that we meet our paris targets of 1.5 degree centigrade or 2 degrees, and you cannot avoid it. but this is a pilot facility that actually shows the technological viability of enabling this and how you can get the stored carbon to be used for other products. also, it is very interesting because it is actually using organic solvent, which will actually reduce the environmental toxicity and energy intensity of ccs itself. but what it does not mean at all is that we can take every coal power and natural gas plant and convert it to bio energy... why not? just the scale. exactly what i've said before, it's that what could be done is using the residue from timber and sustainable forestry to do that. but that is not the equivalent of making sure that this becomes a driver for deforestation because forests actual are our best zinc, next to oceans and other natural based sources.

so making sure that you enable the environmental integrity of forests is also very important for biodiversity, and also from preventing topsoil erosion or even landslides, which we have seen tragically in many places around the world, which has allowed for deforestation to occur. so a carbon storage, and then the reuse of that is to be welcomed. the issue then is how to do that in a sustainable way? exactly. and how to do that in a sustainable way then? well, one of the things that's interesting about drax is that carbon capture and storage is extremely expensive. there is only 23 large—scale plants that are either implemented or going to be constructed. this is going to be about 37 million tonnes of c02, which will be important for reducing our emissions, but it is still so expensive. so what should be taken from drax is that it is an important learning facility in order to bring the cost of ccs down, but in terms of also looking at how to source your biomass and bioenergy

such a way in such away from sustainable timber, creating the supply chain of that is really important. that is necessary, but beyond that, actually converting everything, every coal power and natural gas into a biomass plant is not the solution to go. so i get the impression that we are at the very start of what will be a very important technology, but it is just the beginning... exactly. i mean we have been talking about carbon capture and storage for years and, if not, decades. and yet, it has been so expensive to bring down. there have been many times within the uk government has tried to put up at least $1 billion grant, and it has never been enough to get the private sector to actually engage with this. so this kind of short—term pilot facility is very important. it is something that in terms of the uk, most of its coal power stations are going to be well basically decommissioned by 2025. but the lessons learned from drax can be exported to other countries in terms of like i said sustainable sources of timber residues, learning how to convert your coal plants into bio

energy, and then enabling the captain storage. lung cancer screening trucks will be appearing in supermarket car parks, under a new scheme across england. hundreds of thousands of people are to be tested in the next four years as part of an nhs drive to catch the disease early and improve survival rates. the 70 million pound initiative will target areas, with the highest lung cancer death rates. here's our health editor, hugh pym. maria is arriving for what they call an mot for her lungs and it is in the car park near some local shops. ball as hard as fast as you can. ——

below. i prefer this than the hospital, i do not like the hospital, i do not like going into hospital. it was easy enough to come here. i normally come shopping around here so it is nice tojust come in here. if you have had your lung health check here, and there's a potential area of concern, you don't have to wait very long or go far, in fact you can go straight here and have a scan. sophisticated equipment usually in a hospital, in this case, accessible in a retail park. once inside, the scan takes place. the results and analysis come a few weeks later. 55 to 7a—year—olds at risk of lung cancer, including smokers, are invited to come along for a screening. the early pilot schemes that we ran showed that the detection of the early stage lung cancer rose from about 2 in 10 people up to about 7 in 10. with early detection meaning earlier and better treatment and ultimately to better survival and fewer deaths. the new investment in early

detection of lung cancer has been welcomed although some argue a lot more needs to be done to improve cancer care and survival rates. it is important because it is notjust about screening for lung cancer, it is all the other respiratory diseases you might find. however, we have to have the right staff and services to be able to give patients what they need for better outcomes. the scheme will cover areas of england with most patients at risk, it will be the first lung health check programme of its kind in the uk. hugh pym, bbc news. let's get more on brexit now — and an unusual challenge from one campaigner that's caught the headlines. a cambridge academic has invited the prominent tory brexiteerjacob rees—mogg to debate her, in the nude. dr victoria bateman has been trying to show that brexit leaves the uk — as she puts it — ‘exposed' — and in order to do that she's been taking her clothes off

to argue her case. this is the moment she revealed all to radio four‘sjohn humphrey on the today programme this morning. good morning, john. and i brought my message to the studio today as you can see. written across my body, brexit has left britain naked. yes, and you are now naked as we speak. earlier i spoke to victoria batemen, who's an economics fellow at gonville and caius college, cambridge, and started by asking her whetherjacob rees—mogg had accepted her invitation to debate with her nude... not yet. it is an open invitation sell, i am not yet. it is an open invitation sell, iam ready not yet. it is an open invitation sell, i am ready and ready. not yet. it is an open invitation sell, iam ready and ready. it not yet. it is an open invitation sell, i am ready and ready. it is an invitation that i extend to all high—profile brexiteers who have tried to sell britain two new clothes. i feel like they will say that they don't feel that economy will be exposed so they do not need

to ta ke will be exposed so they do not need to take their clothes off. there are a series of problems. we have problems with the nhs, housing, problems with the nhs, housing, problems with the nhs, housing, problems with wage rates, and of course, food banks and use up and down the country. many brexiteers tell us daily that all of these problems can in part be produced to the european union. my view is that the european union. my view is that the european union is not the cause of these problems, and that brexit cannot possibly provide a solution, that brexiteers have sold brexit and people of foss solution. you make these points very clearly fully dressed. why at the moment diva like you need to take your clothes off to safety states ? you need to take your clothes off to safety states? it is certainly true that i've written thousands of words that i've written thousands of words that apply brexit is bad for britain. but i think it will be

great to have a single powerful message, leaving brett and neck it. i think you can certainly say that without having to say that physically. why not use the famous feminist phrase deeds not words?” suppose that it might detract from the actual words. a number of people have suggested this to me. but i think to suggest that a woman taking her clothes off, is for example, trashy, that she is stupid, that it results in a loss of respect, it's the way that as a society, we falselyjudge women, that we think a woman's where it what she does or does not choose to cover her body. ifiam

does not choose to cover her body. if i am perfectly comfortable using my if i am perfectly comfortable using d. if i am perfectly comfortable using my body, i am a modern—day woman, it is up to meet to decide what i want to do with my body, then why not use that metaphor to try and convey what brexit will do to britain?|j that metaphor to try and convey what brexit will do to britain? i wonder that many women will say that for a long time to be regarded as much more than their bodies, and what you do it on counter to that?” more than their bodies, and what you do it on counter to that? i think we are quite used to seeing images of naked women in our society. we have lots of pornography available online. we see these women in advertising. we see lots of female nudes and art galleries. but we rarely see is that female nude get stomach being given a voice, and by taking to the stage, by putting forward an important political argument, by placing mike opinion, what i am saying is that i am showing behind every naked woman is a real thinking being, showing behind every naked woman is a realthinking being, and showing behind every naked woman is a real thinking being, and next time

when you look at a woman neck it, do not assume that —— assume that she is trashy or stupid. the highly original. the headlines on bbc news... a high courtjudge allows the billionaire, sir philip green, to formally end his legal action against the daily telegraph. the family of cardiff city footballer emiliano sala say they can now mourn him — after police confirm it was his body recovered from the english channel. a man and a woman are arrested on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence after four children died in a house fire in stafford. now on bbc news, it's time for the film review.
