this is bbc news. the headlines at 5pm. no ships and now, no contract. the government cancels a controversial agreement for extra ferries, in case of a "no—deal brexit". new allegations of sexual and racial harassment by former employees of the retail tycoon, sir philip green are published. he denies any crime or misconduct. counting the cost of knife crime, the number of young victims admitted to hospitals in england, has risen by more than 50% in 5 years. tens of thousands of people are demonstrating in paris, for the 13th consecutive saturday of the so—called "yellow vest" protests. also coming up, an outspoken critic of president trump makes her opening pitch for the white house. the democratic senator, elizabeth warren, is launching her bid to become the party's candidate for 2020 with a speech in massachusetts. this is the live scene. a controversial ferry contract,

awarded to a company which had no ships, has been scrapped. seaborne freight would have earned £118 million under a deal with the department for transport, intended to provide extra capacity in the event of a "no—deal brexit". the transport secretary, chris grayling, had defended the deal, saying he would "make no apologies for supporting a new british business". his department says it's cancelled the contract, because the company's irish backer pulled out. our business correspondent, rob young, reports. preparations have been under way for weeks. dredging started at ramsgate port at the beginning ofjanuary. the work was meant to ensure

the port would be ready at the end of march, should britain leave the european union without a deal. the plan was for seaborne freight to run regular services to ostend in belgium once it managed to get it hands on some ships, but now the company has now been stripped of its contract. the government says seaborne freight‘s main backer has pulled out, meaning it could not mean its contractual requirements. we first flagged problems with seaborne freight in april of last year, and we have been tracking it since then, both in terms of its attempts to find vessels, which have failed without exception. largely because this port is very small. it is thought that backer, arklow shipping, has withdrawn for commercial reasons. ferry services haven't operated from ramsgate since 2013. the government hopes the port could offer extra capacity should dover become clogged after brexit. so it is still possible ferries will once again sail from here. the department for transport says

it's in advanced talks with other companies to supply freight services. with less than two months to go until brexit timing is tight. our business correspondent rob young joined us from ramsgate, to gauge reaction there. the decision to avoid a £40 million contract to the shipping company that had no ships was controversial from the start. critics derided the government for doing that, some in the town say that this decision to and be contract was perhaps inevitable. local authority is considering cutting the amount of money that it gives it to the voided because it says it's strapped for cash. if it does decide to do that, the decision may well take in the next month or so, that may well be back at some point in the future, it'll just be impossible

for the services to run from ramsgate anywhere, and others in the town are concerned perhaps the level of traffic, extra traffic decision to operate the service here may well mean some though, more and perhaps that the missing out extra business that may be brought to this area. but the department transport high side that it is what it because advanced discussions with other companies, which well mean there is some kind of no—deal brexit ferry service going to operate from ramsgate, should there be no deal at the end of march. rob, we were listening to one of the contributors, in your piece there, saying that really essentially ramsgate was never going to happen the suitability was never there in the first place. so, ramsgate has not had a regular ferry service running from here since 2013 when the last operator decided to no longer run the service and since then that port has closed up, and that's why dredging work has been taking place,

people who live here say it was taking a place a few days but didn't know whether the work was finished or its halfway through because of the end of the contract is not clear whether any dredging work is part way through or will continue, but the locals say that if the port was dredged, it's possible to again restart some kind of ferry service to offer extra capacity which the department for transport things will be needed if there is a no deal and just a reminder for why ramsgate was chosen, it's because it's further away from dover, there is a concern that if new post brexit checks are put in place at dover, then the other side of that channel, it can lead to delays there and therefore quicker for some services to go from here. our political correspondent is iain watson is in westminster. lovely to see you, what reaction has

there been since the news broke? you can imagine from opposition it's not been entirely positive reaction, labour or calling the transport secretary to resign, they say that this contract has been in the humiliation not just for government but for the country, another labour front bench pressing who was at the conference today said that he was the worst secretary of state ever. and that takes quite some doing, but the question expect the opposition to say that and what you will not necessarily expect of christ is from the government side to perhaps pylon had without asking the questions about preparedness for no deal. as far as chris grayling is concerned, tonight downing street to saying they have full confidence in him, and the department for transport are saying they did indeed do proper due diligence on the seaborne freight because the irish company standing behind i made a big credible up until the point of course that the irish company pulled out but the questions that other people off

tonight including conservative mps, is whether the government will be fully prepared for no deal should not be the outcome in seven weeks' time, and whether they should have started spreading some of the £4 billion they are prepared to put aside for the nokia preparations a lot earlier in the process. not the questions and one of those is they still need to meet the deadline, so what sort of back—up plan do we know about? but the government will say is 90% of the extra capacity is coming from well—established ferry companies and in any case if there is an ideal scenario other companies will provide extra capacity themselves and their still in talks of what they can do in ramsgate and provided south, it looks to be pretty difficult because the ramsgate service recently had the people there who are in charge is that they may have difficulty accommodating a new ferry service before march the 29th, but it's only one aspect of the nokia preparations, the bbc recently commissioned a report from an

independent think tank, and they said now that things have become simply too late to avoid anything other than minor disruptions in the 29th of march, in fact there are two problems. first getting the necessary infrastructure in place for a no deal scenario including extra customs officers, but also simply in this place here, passing of legislation to make a note ideal move smoothly they say they're simplyfar move smoothly they say they're simply far too much weight of methylation, and please feel they are ina methylation, and please feel they are in a holding pattern and not sitting here every day passing the laws and sell it there let the prime minister brings back from brussels and when she will put her deal to parliament for either acceptance or rejection and that looks like it won't happen until the end of this month. thank you very much. the owner of topshop, sir philip green paid a female employee more than £1 million to keep quiet after she accused him of kissing and groping her. the daily telegraph says the senior female employee who it hasn't named for legal reasons was i of 5 members of staff who signed "gagging orders"

after being bullied or harassed by sir philip green. chi chi izundu has more. aggressive and intimidating. sexual harassment and racism. those are the accusations making headline news on the front of today's telegraph newspaper. details of the allegations against sir philip green, one of britain's best known businessmen involving five employees were published in the paper after a judge allowed him to drop action against it, which lasted six months. the allegations include one senior female executive at the arcadia group, which owns shops including, topshop who was allegedly called "a naughty girl" by sir philip. he's accused of slapping her bottom and kissing her face. the telegraph reports how sir philip allegedly drew attention to the dreadlocks of a black employee, in front of other staff, and referred to him as "still

throwing spears in the jungle". both are said to have received payments of around £1 million. the telegraph says the payments were dependent on the employee signing a non—disclosure agreement, which means they weren't allowed to talk about what happened or the money, and now sir philip is threatening legal action against them. in general confidentiality agreements can be legally binding, there are some circumstances in which they will not bite. for exxample, they can't prevent reporting a crime to the police, and in some cases they can't report other reports to other individuals, the media and regulators, but on the whole they may still be binding. sir philip says the newspaper has pursued a vendetta against him and his employees, and denies any wrongdoing. he told the paper he categorically denies any unlawful sexual behaviour and any unlawful racist behaviour. the democrat elizabeth warren has formally launched her presidential bid for the 2020 election in massachusetts. she has been a senator

for the state since 2013 and one of president trump's most vocal critics. so what more do we know about elizabeth warren? the 69 year old democratic senator has always positioned herself on the left of the party. she s a former professor at harvard law school, where she taught bankruptcy law. she first emerged as a consumer activist during the financial crisis and she's a critic of big banks and unregulated capitalism. speaking in the last few minutes senator warren says big structural change is needed to improve the lives of americans. today, millions and millions and millions of american families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been raped, raided by the wealthy and the well—connected. hard—working people

we re well—connected. hard—working people were up against a small group at that hose file —— far too much power not just that hose file —— far too much power notjust in our economy but also in oui’ notjust in our economy but also in our democracy. —— rigged. like the women of lawrence, we are here to say, enough is enough. let's cross to washington and to our correspondent, chris buckler. chrissy been following this, how is a lunch going? you get a real sense about what she's trying to do here and she's setting herself out as someone and she's setting herself out as someone who will be back for the ordinary people, trying to show that divide between the wealthy in america and what she regards as those who have suffered because there has been too much wealth and opportunity as she put it to people who are at the very top. evening going to lawrence and not fictitious as you mentioned a working class

time, but has been an attempt to align yourself with those who fought in the past for worker rights and bopper workers pay, and she is trying to say that at the moment in america, things are weighted against those who are in a position —— are oi'i those who are in a position —— are on the side of those are privilege and a reference to trump at south, they do not get along that antagonistic relationship, we've already got a statement from the trump campaign 2020 even before she officially announced her bid to become president in 2020, they said her socialist ideas would raise toxics, killjobs and christ the middle class. you get a sense that there is a very different perspective of things from the trump campaign, and this attempt by elizabeth warren to run for the democratic chair. there are two points there, you can take from that statement that trump campaign team, one is she really a credible threat to the president, and secondly, how much of the danger is that for

elizabeth warren to attract the attention of president trump so early on? you could argue that it will get her headlights and that's one thing that potentially is good for her attempt to win back bid to become democratic candidate —— headlines, and 2020, however it's already pretty crowded field, and elizabeth warren is one of many in the democratic party who are going to try and win that attempt to potentially become their party candidate for 2020. for example, we have cory brecker, kemal harris, and many others, there still a question about whether the former vice presidentjoe about whether the former vice president joe biden will about whether the former vice presidentjoe biden will run, and frankly as elizabeth warren is in a packed field which will be joined by another candidate tonight, her attempt to become the 2020 candidate for the democratic party tomorrow but the truth is, being one of the people that donald trump talks about asi

people that donald trump talks about as i say that isn't necessarily a bad thing because it does mean you're getting headlines, and it means it'll attract newsprint at but at the same time though, i think it's going to be a pretty difficult battle for her in some ways as well, she has had some problems in terms of herclaims of she has had some problems in terms of her claims of native american heritage, which were criticised by donald trump and he called her pocahontas and mocked her, but the real problem has come from some of the claims she's made that she has been credit —— criticised by the cherokee nation but she apologise for taking a dna test and making a claim ona for taking a dna test and making a claim on a previous application form when she was at university trying to suggest that she had native american blood, what ever —— whatever that something that can't necessarily be proved, they point out it really when it comes to having native american heritage, tribal citizenship is something that's decided by the tribe themselves, so you do have those kind of issues, but at the same time it's difficult to work out who's going to be the

democratic candidate at this moment, there are many waiting to see ifjoe biden the former vice president runs, he could be one of those people that would be regarded as a statesman, but inside the party, there is a big divide between those oi'i there is a big divide between those on the left and those who are more in centre politics, and how that plays out may be very important in who the democrats finally select as their candidate whenever the 2020 election rolls around. thank you very much. that time is 16 minutes past five. the headlines on bbc news... no ships and now, n0 contract — the government cancels a controversial agreement for extra ferries —— in case of a ‘no—deal brexit‘. new allegations of sexual and racial harassment by former employees of the retail tycoon, sir philip green —— are published. he denies any crime or misconduct. the democratic senator, elizabeth warren, launches her bid to become the party's candidate for 2020 with a speech in massachusetts.

tens of thousands of people are demonstrating in paris, for the 13th consecutive saturday of the so—called "yellow vests" protests. security is tight and riot police have again fired tear gas in the champs elysees area. footage shows police baton charges, and some injured protesters, while others threw missiles at officers. the demonstrators are angry about the cost of living and the policies of president macron‘s government and are demanding more direct democracy. there are also demonstrations taking place in other towns and cities across france. we heard from some of the protesters a little earlier. translation: for decades now we have seen our elected representatives have not been working in the interests of the people. they have been working for lobbies and other interests i know

they want to transfer sovereignty to brussels and i do not want brussels to decide everything the french have to do. it is not a referendum story because what does the referendum mean? like the big debate, what does that mean? everyone is talking but what is the point? it is absolutely useless. it is the institutions that are bad at the moment, justice is really borderline and the way instutions work, we need to change the institutions, but that is a big job. when i see poverty in france, when i see the people abandoned by a government and not just this one but for decades, whether it be sarkozy all the others, i say to myself we must act. i do not believe in the polls much any more. the home office says it's concerned about the large increase in young people who are becoming victims of knife crime. figures from nhs england show the number of people aged between 10 and 19, who've been admitted to hospital with stab wounds, has gone up by more than fifty per cent over the past five years. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, reports. the youngest victim to die

in a knife attack this year. jayden moodie was stabbed to death after being knocked off a moped. an 18—year—old man has been charged with murder. jayden was just 14. doctors say they're treating increasing numbers of people for knife wounds, and the victims are getting younger. what has changed is we are seeing a lot more adolescents and young people who have severe injuries. and that used to be an occasional occurrencem and that's now the norm. i expect to admit somebody of school age under the care of our service this week, as a matter of course. the figures for hospital admissions for injuries from knives or sharp objects show there were almost 5,000 people treated for stab wounds last year. over 1,000 of them were aged 10—19 — that's a rise of 54%, compared with five years earlier. another trend doctors have

observed is that more girls are involved in knife crime. some victims face threats that footage of their stabbing will be posted online. there's a shift in what we're seeing. in that i'm seeing young women who've come in having had their mobile phones taken off them in an attack, and having their attack filmed, as part of a humiliation. "this is what's going to happen to you if you say anything, we'll put it on the internet." doctors say the rise in knife crime is putting extra pressure on emergency services. the home office has set up a serious violence strategy to tackle the problem and has launched a review of the links between violent crime and the trade in illegal drugs. danny shaw, bbc news. earlier, rachael box from london village network, which aims to tackle knife crime by fostering community cohesion, explained the importance of helping those at risk feel that they are more included by wider society. there has been a problem that's escalating for well over 20 years, that hasn't been addressed.

there is a lot of social economic factors that lead to young people the feeling that they don't have enough work. —— worth. and it's been ignored and needs to be addressed, we cannot continue to pretend this problem isn't happening. it's our belief that the root cause of knife crime is networked poverty. and that young people need to have access to better role models, better people around them to tell them more about their life chances and their life pathways. so your charity, i was looking online with people holding posters about donating an hour of their day. how on earth do you support a young person within these disadvantaged communities within an hour, how do you target that? ok, so the hour is very important. it may not feel that, you may think what can an hour to do

how can i possibly help with that? but the truth is these young people need to get used to speaking to people outside of their personal environment, so when it comes to going to interviews in different areas, if they were to have opportunities to meet people that they could meet in an interview in a nonintimidating environment, and it'll help them feel more part of mainstream society. and it's about giving a resource that young people from middle—class families take for granted, you know, if they need help with homework or get stuck on a particular subject, there is no one within their pool of contacts to help them. so we are just asking community people to stand up and just give an hour. we know people are busy with their own mortgages, children, and work and business, everyone has at least an hour to give. i suppose it's this idea that it takes a village to raise a child. i know earlier this month there was an announcement of people saying it was on the quite about a cut in funding to fight knife crime.

your charity was one of those that would have been affected or partly funded, but what i'm really keen to know is how do you go about creating a sphere of positive influence and the children then go home and it's a completely different environment? they're back to you know, the heritage and background influencing their path through life. we are at a stage with knife crime, where it's infecting young people that may not come from deep entrenched families that might be considered more normal. there are hundreds of young people across london that have done everything right, like in terms of getting university degrees, finishing their consequences, —— courses. but they still did not feel a part

of mainstream society and bat has a knock on effect because they then feel that street life is the only way to go. so it's not a 1—size—fits—all, but it is that every person get an hour, then we can at least start doing something. that was rachel from the london village network. let's have a look at some of the other stories on bbc news. seven people have been sentenced to life in prison for twojihadist attacks in tunisia in 2015. 21 foreign tourists were killed at the bardo museum in tunis. and 38 people died, 30 of them british, when a gunman attacked a beach resort near sousse. a man has been shot by police as they carried out arrests in south east london this morning. in all, 7 men were detained for allegedly holding a woman captive. the man, thought to be in his 20s was shot after an officer opened fire near blackheath. his injuries are not believed to be life—threatening. the us envoy, stephen beegun, says he's held three days of productive talks in north korea to prepare for the second meeting between president trump and kimjong—un. mr beegun said that the us

and north korea still had some work to do before the summit in hanoi later this month. work has begun in the italian city of genoa, to dismantle what's left of the motorway bridge, which collapsed in august of last year, killing 43 people and injuring dozens more. the structure will be replaced by a new bridge of a different design. caroline rigby has more. it's the demolition project described by italy's transport minister as the image of the country's revival. thousands of tonnes of steel and concrete were removed from genoa's morandi bridge in order to make it lighter before a huge crane began to carefully lower the first section to the ground. decked out in a red hard hat, the italian prime minister looked on. translation: it is an important day, because this is the first step of a path that i hope will be the quickest possible.

what we can say today, and i've spoken with all the demolition companies, is that the new bridge will be up by the end of the year. the deconstruction process is expected to last around six months, and engineers will draw on heavy machinery previously used to right the costa concordia cruise liner, which capsized off the coast of tuscany in 2013. a new bridge will be built in place of the existing structure, designed for his hometown by the famed italian architect renzo piano. it's likely to be one of the most expensive in europe, at a cost of more than 200 million euros. it will feature 43 lamps in memory of each of the victims of last august's disaster and is expected to be open to traffic by april of next year. almost six months on from the partial collapse of the city's viaduct, many in the city are still reeling, but as investigations continue

into the cause and accountability, the authorities hope demolition of the old bridge and construction of the new will help residents to move on from what happened. caroline rigby, bbc news. the british horseracing authority says there have been no further positive tests for equine flu, which has forced the cancellation of races across the country. in a statement, it said more tests would be made in coming days, and a decision about upcoming race—meetings will be made on monday. 174 racing stables across britain are in lockdown this weekend. six cases have been confirmed so far at a stables in cheshire, as the authorities work to contain the highly contagious illness. 50 years ago today the "boeing 747" took to the skies for the very first time, heralding the start of what was dubbed the "golden age of travel". thejumbojet offered more space,

more seats and greater luxury than ever before. it transformed aviation, making far—flung destinations within easy reach, as adam woods explains. newsreel: the jumbos are coming. 1969 and the jumbo jet is unveiled to the world. newsreal: one observer commented that it seemed as though the qe2 had taken to the sky. bigger than anything else at the time, it transformed air travel for millions of people. newsreal: the jumbo jet has brought a new dimension to air travel, space, more room for more passengers. more seats meant more tickets, it shrank the world. america, africa, australia — now all within reach of the masses. the 747 was a massive risk for boeing — it nearly bankru pted the company. orders for the new plane were slow to come in. but half a century later it's still in service and more

are still being built. yet thejumbo's days are numbered. british airways plans to retire its fleet within five years. all airlines in america have already grounded theirs. smaller, quieter, more efficient planes are now the future passenger flight. instead, jumbo jets are finding a new life ferrying freight. the queen of the skies for 50 years — and, perhaps, a few more to come. aaron woods, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello. the best of any sunshine to end the day will be across eastern areas. some showers further west. some more persistent rain across 0rkney and, for a time still some strong winds, particularly across scotland and northern england,

touching 40—50 miles an hour for a time. but they will ease down. through this evening and overnight, we'll see outbreaks of rain arriving into central and southern england and parts of wales. further north, a scattering of showers could be wintry over the hills of scotland. still some outbreaks of rain for northern scotland and 0rkney. the clearer skies across eastern scotland and northeast england — here we could well see a touch of frost. milder further south, but it is a wet start to the day across much of central and southern england. that rain may linger across parts of east anglia for a time. a few showers following as the rain starts to clear. some persistent rain for a time across northern ireland and southwest scotland through the afternoon, with some strong and gusty northwesterly winds. it will be a colder feeling day tomorrow. temperatures not much higher than six or seven celsius. but for the week ahead — things are looking mainly dry away from northwest scotland, milder days, some chilly nights, also some patchy mist and fog. bye— bye. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: the government has cancelled a controversial agreement to provide extra ferries in case of a no—deal brexit. new allegations of sexual and racial harassment by former employees of the retail tycoon, sir philip green are published in the telegraph — he denies any crime or misconduct.

the number of young victims of knife crime admitted to hospitals in england has risen by more than 50% in the past five years. the democratic senator, elizabeth warren, launches her bid to become the party's candidate for 2020 with a speech in massachusetts. sport now — and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holli. hi. it's been a busy day. we will start with the rugby. and after an incredible opening weekend of the six nations — round 2 is show no signs of the tournament letting up. ireland recovered from opening—day defeat by england to beat scotland 22—13 at murrayfield. the grand slam champions were behind early on but tries from conor murray and this one from jacob stockdale put the visitors ahead. sam johnson went over for the hosts

to narrow the gap at the break — but keith earls second half try sealed the win for joe schmidt's side. i think wejust i think we just missed our way through it, to be honest. it wasn't the previous game. we got a piece of a set piece try. and a couple of broken field running try. i think we restricted them. from their perspective especially in the first half, we were in 22, 34% of the time in their half for about 72% of the time. that was a massive defeat of effort. even then, to say it was on advantage. we kind of went to sleep advantage. we kind of went to sleep a little bit there. we have got to be better than that. defences are strong today. both teams ran a

few errors. i thought the first half was very good from our side of it. i thought it was a very good test match. the second half the pace went out and we didn't really string the faces together like we did in the first half. that sent her execution at times. to rome then where wales are taking on italy — and will be looking to match their best run of 11 test wins in a row. wales have won their last 11 six nations meetings with italy. it's been a tale of kicking for them in the first half — with dan biggar scoring four penalties. the hosts responded with a try through braam steyn. it's advantage wales at the break — they currently lead 12—7. cardiff city paid tribute to the life of striker emiliano sala after his body was identified... they found in the wreckage of his plane, which was discovered beneath the english channel earlier this week.

a minute's silence was held before their match at southampton with city players wearing daffodils on their shirts in memory. and in that game — sol bamba opened the scoring in the second half but southampton looked like they were going to salvage a point afterjack stephens leveller in the 91st miniute — but a last gasp winner means cardiff take the three points and move out of the relegation zone. the crowd have been amazing. you saw them today. i'm really pleased. i'm pleased with a long way they have come and they deserve that the last few weeks. it's been difficult for everybody. i thought today was appropriate. first time since 1962 we have got back to back when his back and i think for he would like that. i think he will feel really proud that the lack have done him justice. it's business as usual for liverpool — who restored their three point

lead at the top with a comfortbale 3—0 win over bournemouth. with two goals in the first half from sadio mane and georginio wijnaldum, mo salah made it three straight after the break. . for us, we'd 22 show reaction. and on the on the performance we had. it is ourjob not only to come through somehow, we wanted to convince. we wa nted somehow, we wanted to convince. we wanted to really perform. and today we did that. we had outstanding football moments on the page. i think the first to go, second ball at the set piece and was nice. earlier manchester united moved into the top four with a dominant win ove fulham at craven cottage. it's their tenth victory in 11 games under manager 0le gunnar solskjaer. stuar tpollit was watchhng. manchester united have been revitalised. today they were reshuffled. six and changes against

struggling fulham settled the better. a list of their first and best chance. paul pogba make them pgy- best chance. paul pogba make them pay. a ferocious strike. sergio unmoved, —— mcafee able to show off his moves to the united fans. that is what was about to be demonstrated. shake city defence and straight into the corner. united proving their watching owner, shirley impressed. a penalty which pogba converted. jose mourinho united will make the top floor in the new year. his successor has done just that. pst our next up in the champions league. but domestically at least there —— they are still not stopping the smiling akamai. we know how good it is going forward. we know it is physical presence in the box, always going to cause a problem for the players. a great goalfor

the first one, fantastic strike. you wa nt to the first one, fantastic strike. you want to keep moving on, onto the next one. you want to look forward of course, tottenham, liverpool, city are too far ahead of us to really catch them. so we just need to make sure that we keep this fourth—place. elsewhere this afternoon — there were wins for arsenal and watford... while wilfried zaha's equaliser earned crystal palace a well deserved point after a pretty entertaing clash with west ham. and in the late kick off it's brighton hosting burnley where it's 0—0. kilmarnock against rangers is just getting under way in the scottish cup — one of four games taking place today. it's still goalless there but rangers captainjames tavernier has missed a penalty. in the day's earlier ties partick thistle won 1—0 at east fife to progress. hibs beat raith rovers 3—1 and a bit of a shock at premiership st mirren who lost 2—1 at home to championship side dundee united. cricket — and england are batting in the first innings

of the third and final test against west indies in st lucia. it's been a tricky opening session too and another failure for the recalled keatonjennings. patrick gearey has been following it for us.... what's happened in the first couple of hours? all the talk before this test was about keaton jennings, a all the talk before this test was about keatonjennings, a man whose technique against the swinging ball that he was —— was so suspect that he was stopped a week ago before the last contest only to be reinstated before this one. does all doubts about his technique reappeared today. that's how he got out, caught in the slips of the swinging ball for eight. that won't answer any questions. he seems haunted really, stuck in a loop, his career. england scratched their way through the rest of the section. joe denlyjust scratched their way through the rest of the section. joe denly just to survive. this would have been out had his hand been on the bat. he got off with a technicality there. england will be pleased because that would have meant perhaps another batting collapse which has haunted them off series. joe denly has gone on and they are now 69—1. a position

of relative comfort compared to what happen in antigua and barbados 20 batting simply subsided. this test is important, even though that series is gone, because there is only one that's now between this and the start of the ashes against australia. that is against ireland. it is really important that angling to get something going before the 0zzie turn up. to get something going before the ozzie turn up. you're bringing a little reassurance to the england fans. thank you very much. warrington wolves have gone top of superleague with a 28—14 win over hull kr. in the evening kick off, catalans dragons are hosting huddersfield in the south of france. approaching half time in that one. it is 12-6 to it is 12—6 to the dragons. huddersfield had taken an early lead. william has scored to get the dragons that lead. northampton saints are through to the premiership rugby cup final after a record breaking win against the newcastle falcons. northampton fought back from 21—0 down to win 59—33. the home side ran in nine tries — including this one from luther burrell. 14 tries were scored in total —

the most in a premiership cup game. northampton will now play saracens in the final at the end of march. tennis now — and katie boulter and johanna konta once again lead it's been a busy day at the athletics indoor british championships so far. holly bradshaw took gold in the pole vault, naomi 0gbeta won the triple jump and asha philips won the 60 metres. in the 60 metres hurdles, cindy 0fili beat katarina johnson—thompson to pick up her first national title. 0fili, the younger sister of national record holder tiffany porter, narrowly missed out on an olympic medal at rio. she's recently come back from a serious achilles injury which left her unable to walk. johnson—thompson, who's also competing in the long jump tomorrow, ran a season's best time of 8.27. gabriela ade—0nojobi finished third with a new lifetime best. the time off make me really realise

that this bargaining so much to me. the opportunity to run is such a blessing. i'm tremendously happy to be here. it's amazing, honestly. i didn't think i could do that day because it is just so difficult. so but i am trying really hard so i'm glad to be back. its a year to the day since the crash that ended the olympic dream of gb snowboarder katie 0rmerod and she s has marked the anniversary by returning to the slopes performing freestyle tricks of the first time. 0ur 0lympic reporter nick hope was there to meet her. while her british team—mate celebrated a record hall of winter 0lympic medals and pyeongchang, she was in hospital with a broken heel and wrist. i qualified for my first

0lympics and wrist. i qualified for my first olympics and i was just really confident to show my world what i can do and hopefully do well there. but when in the wrong direction and as soon as i had broken my heel i knew that took me out of the games andi knew that took me out of the games and ijust knew that took me out of the games and i just felt like the knew that took me out of the games and ijust felt like the olympic tea m and ijust felt like the olympic team was over then. how tough what has dyslexia been? it was actually really bad. i didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it is. i was incredulous, sometimes a wheelchair ifi incredulous, sometimes a wheelchair if i had to go out. i was in so much paini if i had to go out. i was in so much pain i could never experience pain like it. it didn't cross my mind that it could be career ending. that was devastating, i cannot imagine my life without this because i've been doing it for as long as i can remember. i had to remember even if it is real and possible i could really get through it. that really helped me work hard in the gym and i just had that determination and motivation to do it. despite set rounds of surgery and a heel graft made of skin from her hip, combined with that of a pig, she has fought back and made a full return to the slopes this week. it feels amazing

that the first time i went over, like the biggest adrenaline rush.|j am buzzing. that's being here make it feel real? you are finally finally on the comeback trail and backin finally on the comeback trail and back in the square? i feel so happy and grateful to be back. ifeel like ijust want and grateful to be back. ifeel like i just want to be the best and grateful to be back. ifeel like ijust want to be the best i can possibly be. i just ijust want to be the best i can possibly be. ijust want ijust want to be the best i can possibly be. i just want to ijust want to be the best i can possibly be. ijust want to get back to getting medals again. hopefully make everyone proud. she isjust she is just incredible. she isjust incredible. that she is just incredible. that is all the support for now. more at 6:30 p:m.. for now it is time for that film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark, what do we have this week? something for everyone. we have the lego movie 2.

i know you are a huge fan. we have if beale street could talk. the new film by barryjenkins. and alita: battle angel, a dystopian future. is there any other kind? the question is, are you a huge lego movie fan? iam. i loved the first one and the batman one. along comes lego movie to take get back on track. i fell in love again and laughed all the way through. did you see the first one? it entirely plays out in the imagination of a young boy who has a huge lego land that his father owns. this begins at the end of that film. his sister is allowed to come in and play and causes chaos. suddenly this wonderful world is created. a huge, fabulous place has turned

into an apocalyptic dystopia. meanwhile, people from the other system has come to kidnap batman to be involved in a weird wedding ritual. but emmet still thinks that back in apocolypseburgh everything can be awesome. i know you are following this. here is a clip. this is my vision of the future. ta—da! this is my vision of the future. ta-da! a house? come on, let me give you a tour. this is the living room where you can live it up. the tv room, dining, kitty cat room. 0ut that a double—decker porch swing so we can always hang together. what do you think? it is going to attract alien think? it is going to attract aliens and get destroyed. alien think? it is going to attract aliens and get destroyedlj alien think? it is going to attract aliens and get destroyed. ijust thought we could rebuild the future. make everything awesome again. thought we could rebuild the future. make everything awesome againm it, you have got to stop pretending everything is awesome. it isn't. every morning you walk through town

singing that terrible, annoying manufactured pop song. that song really seems to upset you. now, it doesn't! 0n the one hand, it has got a lot from the first film, really good jokes and it is visually interesting, excitement and action, but what is really clever is it is basically a film that plays out in the imagination of two separate characters of the young boy and his younger sister. therefore, there is this collision of two worlds and the best thing about it is if you are managing a complex surrealist film—maker making a film playing out in two separate imaginations, it would be impossible. you watch it in the lego movie and you just accept it. the two dimensions are joined by the dimension of reality, the house that they lived in, and i thought it was really clever, really smart. i laughed all the way through. there are call—backs to the first movie. there are lots of in jokes. it is designed in such a way that a younger audience will laugh

at that slapstick and the fact that they like their characters. an older audience will be impressed by the fact that they can do this, two languages in one brain, it is similar to lego movie two. i really enjoyed it. good. something very different. if beale street could turn next. made by barryjenkins who made moonlight. the oscar—winning moonlight. terrific. this is adapted by dominic from a novel. i think regina king is in for a dumb of an award. it is a story about oppression, racialtension, but it is a love story. 0ne character is imprisoned, the other is pregnant. it is how this relationship

plays out against this backdrop of oppression. barryjenkins can take a story by focusing on the specifics, the life of somebody growing up in poverty like in moonlight, and somehow making that story universal. in the case of this, he gets all the period details right, the details of the character struggles right but it becomes completely universal. did you love moonlight? i thought it was terrific. for a film that adventurous and getting the oscar success that it did, finally, but when it was first made, it was a strange arthouse movie that everybody thought it only had a niche audience. also brilliant use of music and cinematography. he has a way of slowing time down. i thought it was wonderful. i think barryjenkins is a wonderful director. now alita: battle angel.

this caught the attention of james cameron. a p pa re ntly apparently something like 20 years ago andi apparently something like 20 years ago and i think originally he was going to make it. now he is producing and correcting the script by robert rodriguez. it is a dystopian future. a brief hunter warrior finds the head of a female cyborg and takes it back to his laboratory and rebuilds her giving her a new body. he gives her the name which has a lot of meaning to him. she remembers her past and it looks like she was some type of battle angel. she finds this futuristic battle ready body that she wants the character to give to her to make her whole. here is a clip. this body, it has the power i need. i feel a connection to it. i can't

explain. this can be who i am. you've been given a chance to start over. with a clean slate. how many of us get that? why did an enemy warship responded to me? because i knew that ship. i've been on others like it, haven't i? haven't i? all, whatever you are, it is not who you are now. i'm a warrior, aren't i? her eyes are extraordinary, aren't they? it is remarkable. it is like a above movie. you have rosa salazar and motion capture, you can combine a physical performance with visual effects. that character exists anything which is known as uncanny valley which is is it animation, is it live action? it is really well done i think. i think rosa salazar

brings a lot to the role. the film itself is somewhat all over the shop. cameron is perhaps not the greatest screenwriter in the world. in the past he has written things like terminator and aliens. this has spectacle to spare, often the story gets kind of lost. it is in the same area as films like robocop and blade runner. they are ideas we have seen elsewhere. they come from a similar melting pot. i went into it with fairly low expectations and although i think it is narratively challenged, i thought it held together largely because of rosa salazar‘s performance. you were intrigued by the central character. there is something fascinating about it. it is real but unreal at the same time and i thought that worked rather well. narratively challenged, does that mean not a great story? yes, kinda. best out? it is burning.

it is a weird murder mystery. it may be a love story, it may be a murder mystery, it may be a social satire. it is such a bewildering mesmerising movie. ijust loved it and i don't pretend to understand it. best dvd? this is the latest version of a star is born. we had not for incarnations, five if you count the predecessor. bradley cooper directing and starring. lady gaga as their rising star. i absolutely loved it. the songs are really good and it works in the music world and i thought it was terrific. i thought he directed it really well. there is live sequences, you think that really is a live rock band. also raw action on stage. with proper mistakes and a live sound to it. i thought it was really good. do you think it was

properly recognised ? it didn't do that well in the oscars. when it first came out, people said it would clearly win best picture. now everybody thinks roma will. as we all know, awards are massively unpredictable. i thought it was really great. and i like the other versions, but i did think this was... i went into it thinking, "please don't be bad." it wasn't, it was really good. we can't let you go without a word about albert finney. he sadly died at the age of 82. one of the great stars of stage and screen. in an extraordinary career. he was the face of british cinema. 0scar nominated for a huge variety of roles. also great performances in films like tim burton's big fish. i think he got a golden globe nomination.

and bafta fellowship which is a high honour. it is important to remember notjust this extraordinary body of work in front of the camera, but his role behind the camera. i remember interviewing mike lee. he said albert finney was the magician behind it, he made the film happen. i think that thing about supporting rising talent is just as important as the stuff about being such an impressive act on screen thank you very much. that is all for this week. from both of us, goodbye. hello. storm erik brought widespread gales across the uk yesterday. and the area of low pressure responsible is now centred across the northern aisles. you can see this swell of cloud here on the earlier satellite picture. keeping an eye on this bank of cloud to the southwest of the uk,

that will be increasing through this evening. that should bring some outbreaks of rain overnight. and for a time to end the afternoon, still some strong winds, gusts of 40—50 miles per hour across northern scotland by slowly starting to lose their strength. so through this evening and into overnight we see rain settling into parts of wales, central and southern england. a few showers across northern ireland. northwest england and parts of wales, maybe wintry over the hills, some more persistent rain for 0rkney but the clearest guys across eastern scotland, northeast england, you will see a touch of frost here as temperatures fall below freezing. but much milder further south given the cloud and the rain. it is all tied into this frontal system. slowly pulling away eastwards through sunday. it is quite a wet start across many central and southern parts of england. parts of wales too. but that ring will be gradually easing away eastwards through the day. it will lingerfor a time across parts of east anglia. elsewhere, we will see some outbreaks of rain across northern scotland, slowly sliding their way southwards and perhaps bringing some wintry precipitation over the hills. some more persistent rain across northern ireland. and southwest scotland for a time

through the afternoon, with some squally winds, particularly along the irish seacoast. by tomorrow afternoon they are northwest in direction, so it will be a much cooler feel again. temperatures not much higher than at six or seven celsius for many. maybe eight or nine across southern parts of england. as we go through sunday night, this little feature here could introduce some wintry showers across parts of the peak district, the hills of wales for example. but as it clears a way through, behind it we see this area of high pressure developing. so we start the new week on a mainly dry note. the winds will be lighter. there will be some good spells of sunshine. maybe one or two wintry showers for the highlands of scotland. but for most, it is a dry and fine day. temperatures recovering slightly compared to sunday. 8—10dc, the top temperature on monday afternoon. this area of high pressure is a dominant feature through much of the week ahead. as it moves away south and eastwards, and it enables this milder air to flood across the uk. so midweek, by day is going to be feeling much milder. still chilly at night with a touch of frost.

also some patchy mist and fog, but away from northwest scotland it should be mainly try. goodbye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 6pm. no ships and now, no contract. the government cancels a controversial agreement for extra ferries, in case of a "no—deal brexit". new allegations of sexual and racial harassment by former employees of the retail tycoon, sir philip green, are published. he denies any crime or misconduct. the democratic senator, elizabeth warren, launches her bid to become the party's candidate for 2020, promising to champion ordinary, working people. millions and millions and millions of american families are also struggling to survive in a system that has been rigged, rigged by the wealthy and the well—connected. also coming up, more violence on the streets of paris. tens of thousands of people take

to the streets of the french
