today at 5: tributes to one of the greats of english football, gordon banks, who's died at the age of 81. he helped england to world cup victory in 1966, and is perhaps best known for this wonder save from the great pele. commentator: what a save! some of the biggest names in football have been paying tribute to the legendary goalkeeper. he was capable of making saves look easy by good positional play. that's one thing that i always thought was his strength. and we'll have reaction from players and fans around the world. we will be talking to the former england goalkeeper ray clemence, so stay with us. the other main stories on bbc news at 5... theresa may updates the commons on brexit, and denies accusations that she's simply running down the clock. the talks are at a crucial stage and we now all need to hold our nerve to get the changes this house requires and deliver brexit on time.

it appears the prime minister has just one real tactic — to run down the clock, hoping members of this house are blackmailed into supporting a deeply flawed deal. new government proposals which could prevent some convicted criminals from driving taxis and minicabs in england and wales. and being rubbish at refuse collection — councils received almost 2 million compaints from homes last year. it's 5 o'clock. our top story is the tributes paid to gordon banks, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and a legend of english football, who has died at the age of 81. he was part of the england team that won the world cup in 1966, and was named fifa goalkeeper of the year no fewer than six times.

his former club, stoke city, said his family were "devastated to lose him", but could not have been more proud. our sports correspondent andy swiss looks back at his life. it remains a footballing miracle, 1970, england against brazil and that save. pele! what a save! gordon banks! the greatest ever, from one of the greatest ever. four years earlier, gordon banks had been a cornerstone of the england world cup triumph, and those who played alongside him were today united tribute. sir bobby charlton said, "gordon was a fantastic goalkeeper and i was proud to call him a team—mate." sir geoff hurst described him as "one of the very greatest," a sentiment echoed throughout the game. he was my hero, obviously, growing up, and being able to train

with him, the big thing i would say about him was he had, in an era which is totally different to today, he had this great positional sense, and that was his dedication. banks first made his name with leicester city. sheffield united attack. but banks was safe in the leicester goal. it was not long before he attracted england's attention. his reliability was pivotal to their 1966 triumph. and banks showing the form he has displayed all along. winning the world cup, he later said, changed his life. tremendous. when we came back, you wouldn't believe the people in the streets, just incredible. we felt so proud. although england fell short at the next world cup in 1970, banks was at his peak — most famously against brazil and what has been described as the save of the century. quite how he denied pele has dumbfounded everyone,

not least the striker himself. i had the ball. i alreadyjumped to say, "goal!" and then i looked back. idid, "go..." banks' brilliance then helped stoke city to the league cup in 1972, the club's first major trophy. but later that year, a car crash cost him his sight in one eye. amid emotional scenes, he was forced to retire from the game although, remarkably, he made a brief comeback in the us. but his fame and popularity proved enduring. honoured for his achievements for stoke and for england, in 2012 he carried the olympic torch at wembley stadium where, decades earlier, he'd conjured such wizardry as a player. in a statement today, his family said they could not have been more proud of him. for many, the greatest keeper english football has ever seen.

i mention the fact that gordon banks was very closely associated with stoke city. our correspondent navtej johal is at stoke city's ground — one of the clubs gordon banks played for. gordon banks was loved by stoke city and the fans loved him back, and they have been paying tribute to him all day and you can understand why. he made 250 appearances for the club and won in 1972 league cup with them and won in 1972 league cup with them and later became the president as well. the fans today said he was sometimes almost embarrassed by the adulation he would receive from them. i have a few fans who came here today to lay these tributes. when, adrienne and phoebe. you actually saw gordon banks play here in his prime in the late 1950s and

60s. what was that like —— gwen, you actually saw him. fantastic. 1966, and that was the world cup. you said you remember gordon banks playing for england and stoke. what was it like when hejoined stoke? unbelievable. we couldn't believe it. wonderful, that's all i will say. and he was a perfect gentleman. adrienne, you also knew gordon banks and he did a lot for the community. what can you tell about your memories? as you just intimated, what can you tell about your memories? as youjust intimated, it was lovely, how he was so contrite and humble, for someone who is still today remains the only england goalkeeper to win a world cup, and when he walked into a room, adulation, like you said. he was almost embarrassed. to think what we can get in the premier league today, and you look at gordon banks. we mention, how much in today because my premier league? so proud to have had him as the club president and

play for our club. thank you. that's intraday's premier league. and you met him too. what was he like? really nice, always had a smile on his face and always cared about people, like he was one of the family. you said you will miss him as well? i really well. he was a good friend to me. phoebe, thank you. that is the feeling behind a lot of the tributes we are receiving today. a humble, modest man. a true gentleman and one who will be mourned by fans here, across the country and across the world. studio: navtej, thank you very much. we will talk to you later on but good to get some reaction from stoke—on—trent. and where better to go for a reaction to what has happened to the fact that gordon banks has been lost than to another goalkeeping great? the former england and liverpool goalkeeper ray clemencejoins me now. thank you forjoining us, a great

honour. we will come unto him as a man ina honour. we will come unto him as a man in a moment, but firstly as a goalkeeper, where does he stand in the pantheon of the greats? for me he is simply the greatest goalkeeper this country has ever had and one of the greatest in the world. i came across an obviously when i got into the liverpool team and played against him a couple of times in the league, but then i was lucky and honoured enough to be an england squad when he was still the england numberone, and it squad when he was still the england number one, and it wasjust magnificent to work with him for those two years. obviously i wasn't working with him everyday but everything the squad was together i had 3—4 days, and you just realised why he was capable of making those fantastic saves. he worked so hard oi'i fantastic saves. he worked so hard on the training ground. the other good thing about him, he was always there to talk to you, to help you, if you wanted to ask questions about any part of goalkeeping, he would give you a good answer. it is the approach to the job, ray,

give you a good answer. it is the approach to thejob, ray, i am interested in there. you say he was an exceptionally hard worker but he clearly had a very natural talent as well? yes, i mean, some goalkeepers are born with that natural talent, and certainly he was, but all the tale nt and certainly he was, but all the talent in the world, to be as great as he was you have to work at it. the saviour were talking about five minutes ago, that comes off the training ground, that comes where he has worked hard for days on end, throwing himself at things which looked impossible, and he managed to make the save. i spoke to gordon about that save many times afterwards, and he would say, to this day, he just threw himself, as he would do in training, hoping he would get something on the ball. he got his hand to it, wasn't trying to put it over the bar. wasjust trying to stop it from going on the goal, and somehow it looked over the top of the barand and somehow it looked over the top of the bar and made and somehow it looked over the top of the barand made it and somehow it looked over the top of the bar and made it look even better, but still a fantastic save, to cover the ground he did and get down to that bottom corner and keep

the ball out, it willjust be remembered forever. we have just been watching images of that, ray, and just to appreciate the talent, as you say. what about the man? you mention he was supportive, good mentor, in that sense. are you saying he was generous in terms of his spirit? yes, definitely. back in those days, there were no goalkeeping coaches, so we all had to pick it up as we went along. i picked up bits and bobs from different goalkeepers i was with before i got in the england squad, but then to have two years working with the master, as i would call him. you know, he made thejob with the master, as i would call him. you know, he made the job look so him. you know, he made the job look so easy, and for any of us who have played in goal, we know it isn't. he was always in control of every situation, and i think peter shilton mentioned it before, one of the great things he had which he passed oi'i great things he had which he passed on to us all, it is about being on the right position. positional sense. if you are in the right

position, there is a good chance you will make a save, and you will only get beaten by mis—hit shots. he was the master of being in the right position. we are showing a lovely image of you with peter shilton and others, with garden, and it is a very nice image indeed. forfuture generations, what is your hope for their grasp of what gordon was about and what he achieved? well, he is an icon. certainly, he was the first professional goalkeeper i ever saw when i lived in skegness, and my father took me across to the old leicester city ground, and i watch them play chelsea, and gordon was one end in the goal, and it wasjust magnificent to see. as soon as i saw gordon i was impressed with him. he was as i said in control of everything because of her future goalkeepers, if you look at him and at how simple he makes the game looks at times —— in terms of future goalkeepers. i think anybody who

makes hisjob, goalkeepers. i think anybody who makes his job, whatever goalkeepers. i think anybody who makes hisjob, whatever it might be, look easy, they are in control of everything, and that is what gordon was. it is a sad loss to us all because not only was he a world—class goalkeeper, to be goalkeeper of the year, fifa, six years on goalkeeper of the year, fifa, six years on the trot, how many people have done that? that is fantastic. we should all honour him and i am thankful i had the chance to work with him and be a friend of his. he wasjust a lovely, with him and be a friend of his. he was just a lovely, lovely with him and be a friend of his. he wasjust a lovely, lovely man with him and be a friend of his. he was just a lovely, lovely man who with him and be a friend of his. he wasjust a lovely, lovely man who i will remember for the rest of my life, certainty. a lovely tribute, and just leading to a final comment from you on the kind of role model, not just to from you on the kind of role model, notjust to people in the game, but to young people everywhere, really? standard of conduct on and off the pitch which is truly exceptional. yes, and! pitch which is truly exceptional. yes, and i think it is something else i picked from him. he works ha rd else i picked from him. he works hard on the training ground, he helped you on the training ground, but he also taught you how to behave off the training ground and in public areas, and as i said always

willing to speak to people. he never brushed autograph hunters away, he just spent time with them, spoke to them, and! just spent time with them, spoke to them, and i think we have heard through this day, younger people have spoken about how humble he always was and how he always wanted to speak to people and help people. a great honour to talk to you, ray. thank you so much for speaking to us. thank you so much for speaking to us. thank you. ray clemence, and thanks to him, because really no one better to pay tribute to gordon banks. thanks to him. and stay with us — just after 5.30 we'll be talking to another former england keeper and friend of gordon banks — dave beasant. so stay with us because that is in about 20 minutes' time. now, theresa may has denied she is running down the clock —— she is running down the clock — amid fears she could delay a vote on her final brexit deal —

until days before the uk is set to leave the eu. in a commons statement, she appealed to mps to hold their nerve over brexit and said the government needed more time to complete the ongoing negotiations with the eu over the backstop arrangement — which is meant to prevent a return to a hard border between northern ireland and the republic. our political correspondent ben wright reports. she has a deal mps don't want, the eu says it won't renegotiate and we are just weeks away from brexit. but the prime minister appealed for patience in the commons this lunchtime. the talks are at a crucial stage and we now all need to hold our nerve to get the changes this house requires and deliver brexit on time. by getting the changes we need to the backstop, by protecting and enhancing workers' rights and environmental protections, and by enhancing the role of parliament in the next phase of negotiations, i believe we can reach a deal that this house can support. there was nothing unexpected in the prime minister's summary, and the labour leader accused mrs may of deliberate delay. in truth, mr speaker, it appears that the prime minister has just one real tactic —

to run down the clock hoping members of this house are blackmailed into supporting a deeply flawed deal. she is intending to get a deal on the backstop to calm the rebellious brexiteers. can she confirm there is i'io brexiteers. can she confirm there is no time limit on the backstop unless it is written into the treaty itself? and secondly that the end it is substantial before the next general election? like my mp5 will have a chance to shake the prime minister's brexit strategy and votes oi'i minister's brexit strategy and votes on thursday, and some labour members are urging action. unless colleagues across the house take some responsibility on thursday and snap out of this delusion right now, we will be at the mercy of this prime minister pours might run the clock down strategy. the fact is businesses are spending millions of pounds and pulling their hair out,

because they fear the prospect of no—deal brexit on the 29th of march. others want compromise. it is indecision, not brexit, per se, that is now holding back business. it is absolutely essential we face compromise in a straightforward way and seeka compromise in a straightforward way and seek a deal. but the eu side does not seem to be budging over the irish. after talks with the brexit secretary in brussels last night, their chief negotiator said the deal was done. it's clear from our side that we are not going to reopen the withdrawal agreement. but we will continue our discussion in the coming days. it's hard to see where this crisis is heading. parliament and the government remain deadlocked, and there is still no clarity about when the government will try to get its brexit deal through the parliament again. that is why many mps think they are running down the clock, piling pressure on some tory and some labour mps to back this, to

stop falling out of the eu without a deal at the end of march. supporters of another referendum haven't given up, and spread their frustration with jeremy corbyn up, and spread their frustration withjeremy corbyn over a poster in his constituency this morning. but there is no sign of a majority for another referendum here. instead there is drift, decision and uncertainty, as the struggle over brexit goes to the wire. then right, bbc news, westminster. —— ben wright, bbc news. our chief political correspondent vicki young is in westminsterfor us. what of this accusation that she is trying to run down the clock? she is trying to run down the clock? she is trying to run down the clock? she is trying to get the fundamental changes to the most fundamental part of it, the backstop in ireland. she spoke about having more meetings but the feeling among mps, lots of them, as this could be going to the wire,

and they don'tjust mean the debt in february when she said she would put down another motion and mps would get the chance to put down amendments on what they want —— don'tjust mean the date in february. at one point theresa may was laying out a scenario whereby the usual practice of taking 21 days to look at changes and treaties could actually be a lot shorter than that. changing the way things are done, and at that point may be asking parliament to do everything a little more quickly. that is a possibility, if she manages to get her deal and that meaningful doubt through parliament, which still seems some way off. through parliament, which still seems some way off. but she has sent out her ministers, read the rest of the eu, trying to make the case and trying to encourage them to make some changes —— around the rest of the eu. this was the brexit secretary steve barclay speaking to michel barnier, the chief negotiator, last night. well, we had a very constructive discussion, i think, in very good company. we actually got into the substance of the issues. i think there was a recognition from michel barnier that neither side wants to see a no deal.

i very much recognise the significant work he has put into the deal, and within the european parliament of the work on citizens' writes in particular is extremely valuable, both in terms of the deal itself and on parliament's ratification of the deal. so we had a very constructive engagement. i'll be speaking to him again following the vote in the house of commons and i look forward to working with him so we can steer this deal over the line. now, what is still unclear is what kind of changes would be needed to get through parliament, whether it is reopening that withdrawal agreement, something the eu says it simply will not do. would some kind of legal document alongside it be enough? is there any indication of softening amongst conservatives? there doesn't seem to be at the moment. theresa may also trying to appeal to labour mps, talking about employment rights and help for many of the areas that voted for brexit, but of course the business community is extremely alarmed this close to

the brexit date, very alarmed, about ano the brexit date, very alarmed, about a no deal scenario, partly because it means there would be no transition period, which everyone was hoping for, with 20 months for businesses to get used to what was coming next. this was the governor of the bank of england today... we shouldn't be under any illusions. i'm not going to put a point estimate on it. but a no deal, no transition brexit would be an economic shock for this economy, and it would have — and i'll kind of loop it back to the speech — it would also send a signal, globally, about the prospects of, you know, refounding globalisation. and that would be very unfortunate, given the intentions of both parties in this is to come to a very different place. now, there could be another set of votes of course this thursday, but it is unclear at the moment how many

mps are willing to put forward their preferred alternative. those who are pushing for another referendum, or a closer relationship with the eu, or those trying to take no deal off the table. some have tried before and failed, and! table. some have tried before and failed, and i think the question is whether they decide this week is the moment to act, or whether they now wait until the 27th of february. vicki young, many thanks again, with the latest from westminster. let's speak to our correspondent in strasbourg, adam fleming. adam, it is interesting that one of the most prominent voices in this process is actually pouring cold water today it seems on the likelihood of negotiations being at a crucial stage. what do you make of this? yes, the brexit coordinator for the european parliament which is meeting in strasbourg, he hasjust tweeted,"despite meetings with uk

representatives including the prime minister theresa may, david lidington, the duchess of lancaster, in the cabinet," i have yet to hear ofa in the cabinet," i have yet to hear of a proposal, he says, to break the brexit deadlock. he says the way forward is cross—party, not kicking the can towards a disastrous no deal. that is what he has just tweeted, so he has obviously not been that impressed by the messages over the last couple of days, which i think will be dismaying to the people delivering those messages, including the prime minister. what they have been saying to the eu,"look, this is not theresa may going back on the deal she previously negotiated with the eu. the message from the government as she tried her damnedest to sell that and it wasn't her fault it got defeated in parliament so resoundingly. " that is one of their first tasks, and i think they are also trying to suggest there can be also trying to suggest there can be a majority for the deal in parliament. if you take all the people who voted for the so—called

brady amendment a couple of weeks ago, asking for changes to the withdrawal agreement, and you look at the hints from some labour mps they would be willing to back the deal, does that give the government the majority for the deal in parliament that the eu says it wa nts ? parliament that the eu says it wants? the reason the eu is getting involved in that is because they think not only do you need the votes to get the deal through in parliament, but you need those votes to get the legislation through that implements the deal after the meaningful vote, and also what about when you are then negotiating the future relationship and the proper next phase of the talks to take place after brexit day? the eu wants a pretty solid majority in parliament for that as well. a couple of things to point out from what the brexit secretary steve barclay was saying. i did that interview with him vicki was speaking about. i asked him a couple of times, could the government get the changes it is seeking to the backstop without changing the text of the withdrawal agreement? really interestingly, he kept open that idea. he didn't confirm that the

government had dropped the idea of changing the withdrawal agreement, but he kept open idea they could achieve their objectives in another way, as long as they were legally binding. ithink way, as long as they were legally binding. i think that makes their task in brussels in these discussions a little easier. the other thing to point out, i said to him, could this process continue until the summit of eu leaders in march next month, in brussels? that is the whole running down the clock theory. he did not close down that idea either, well then i quite a few interesting things. subtle signals from steve backley, if not explicit, but worth listening to —— so, quite fun, interesting things, subtle signals. thank you, adam fleming, from brussels. it is 2a minutes past five. jurors in the trial of a teenager accused of killing a six—year—old schoolgirl have heard that her father sold cannabis to the alleged murderer.

alesha macphail was found dead near her grandpa rents' house on the isle of bute last summer. the 16—year—old boy on trial who cannot be named for legal reasons denies raping and murdering her. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is at the high court in glasgow where the trial is taking place. could we hear more evidence from the father, lorna? yes, he said his daughter loved her trips to the isle of bute where he lived. she used to come every second weekend and spent much of the school holidays there as well. they spent time going to the beach, going swimming, going to the park, and he also told the court of the last time he saw his daughter alive. he said she was back on the island just a few days, when on the evening of sunday the 1st ofjuly he heard her getting out of bed late in the evening, going into the living room. he said he got up and took her back to her room and settled her down and put on a peppa pig dvd for her to watch, and he said his last

words to her was that he would see her in the morning. the next thing her in the morning. the next thing he knew he was being woken up by peppa —— alesha because my grandparents to say she was missing was not there was a large search on the island but her body was found that morning in woodland. thejurors also heard that he sold cannabis to the 16—year—old accused of killing her, but that had stopped before her death injuly of last her, but that had stopped before her death in july of last year. her, but that had stopped before her death injuly of last year. the court heard he had stopped selling drugs to the accused when the teenager because my mother made a request by a friend. this afternoon there was evidence from alesha's grandparents, and her grannie described her as a beautiful, happy girl, and the 999 call she made to police was played in court. her grandfather spoke of the frantic search for alesha when she was discovered missing from the flat. he broke down as he spoke of the moment he was told that his granddaughter was dead. the 16—year—old, who

cannot be named because of his age, denies abducting, raping and murdering alesha macphail and alleges someone else killed her. the trial at the high court in glasgow continues tomorrow. lorna, thank you. we will have the latest from that trial at the high court in glasgow tomorrow. the president of venezuela, nicolas maduro, has criticised president trump, calling him a white supremacist and accusing him of undermining venezuela for his own ends. speaking exclusively to our international correspondent orla guerin, the embattled mr maduro dismissed the claims of the opposition leaderjuan guaido —— leaderjuan guaido — who is now recognised as interim president by dozens of countries around the world — including the uk. translation: listen, orla, please. it's a war. i pray that god enlightens you. it's a political war of the united states empire — of the ku klux klan that rules the white house, to take over

venezuela. and they have created a political, communications and diplomatic strategy. they are warmongering in order to take over venezuela. do you really think the ku klux klan are ruling america? i believe that the extremist sector of the white supremacists of the ku klux klan is in charge of the united states. i believe it's a gang of extremists. so is president trump a white supremacist? he is, publicly and openly. he has encouraged the fascist tendencies, the neofascists and neo—nazis within the united states, in europe, in latin america. it's an extremist tendency that hates the world. they hate us, they belittle us, because they only believe in their own interests, and in the interests of the united states. so, in this battle that we are living in venezuela, i tell you, it's a battle that goes beyond the country. i call upon the people of the world to wake up, open your eyes, to see that it is an aggression against a peaceful country. that was president nicolas maduro of

venezuela speaking to our correspondent, or like wearing. —— orla guerin. meanwhile, the uk will provide an emergency humanitarian aid package worth six £6.5 million for venezuela. the money will be used to treat malnourished children, provide vaccinations, and supply clean water to the most vulnerable communities — the international development secretary penny mordaunt has announced. we will catch upon the news and sport after a look at the weather. with this mild weather, a lot of dry weather, it will be mostly but not

com pletely weather, it will be mostly but not completely dry at the moment. a weak front sitting across northern england and wales, bit of patchy rain with that, then the frontal system drifts rain with that, then the frontal system d rifts northwards rain with that, then the frontal system drifts northwards through tonight with rain moving across northern ireland into scotland, much of it quite light and patchy. further south, dry, of it quite light and patchy. furthersouth, dry, generally cloudy, the odd fog patch. the vast majority staying frost free. tomorrow a bit of rain to clean up from scotland first thing but that will tend to head north by lunchtime. then a lot of dry weather, generally a fair amount of cloud, but i'm hopeful things will brighten up in the south of england and south wales. temperatures 11 or 12, but by thursday and friday some spots might get up to 15 degrees. a lot of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and for most it looks like staying dry into the weekend. you are watching bbc news at five.

the headlines: tributes have been paid to one of the greats of english football gordon banks, who has died at the age of 81. his save from pele was among the finest ever made — and he helped england to world cup glory in 1966. theresa may has updated mps on brexit and denied accusations that she's simply running down the clock. new proposals outlined by the government could prevent some convicted criminals from driving taxis and minicabs in england and wales. nearly two million complaints were made from people

across the uk last year, about bins not being collected, according to bbc research. 110w now we are going to catch up with the sports and join catherine. good evening. braziian legend pele is among those leading the tributes today to former england goalkeeper gordon banks, who has died at the age of 81. he famously produced this brilliant save to stop pele from scoring during a 1970 world cup group game. the brazilian icon has now paid tribute to banks, saying, "the save was one of the best i have ever seen. i hit that header exactly as i had hoped. but then this man, banks, appeared in my sight, like a kind of blue phantom. he came from nowhere and he did something i didn't feel was possible. rest in peace, my friend.

yes, you were a goalkeeper with magic. but you were also so much more. you were a fine human being." on to the third test between england and the west indies — and it could all be over by the close of play. the windies were set a85 for victory with over a day and half to play, but they were already four down at lunch. jimmy anderson with three wickets, mark wood with the other. earlierjoe root declared as soon as he was out for 122, and that left ben stokes just two short of his 50. other top scorers for england — joe denly on 69 and jos buttler on 56. so england need six more wickets for the win, but they've still lost the series. manchester united will be hoping for a special european night at old trafford as they face paris st germain in the first leg of their champions league last 16 tie. the french side are missing some of their biggest names including south american forwards neymar and edinson cavani. but will that make the task any easier for united tonight? of course any team that are missing

players like neymar and cavani will feel the effect but that gives other players a chance, so it makes it more unpredictable for us who they will play, because when you have seen will play, because when you have seen that front three the whole season, you know what to expect. so this time around we are guessing a little bit how they will come, but we have a good guess on how they are approaching this game. kick-off at eight o'clock tonight at old trafford. england prop mako vunipola has been ruled out of the rest of the six nations with an ankle injury. vunipola suffered ligament damage during the 114—8 win over france on sunday. he is expected to be out for ten weeks. exeter‘s ben moon and leicester's ellis genge are in the frame to replace him. there's a boost for wales

with full—back leigh halfpenny returning to full training tomorrow ahead of the next match against england. he hasn't played since suffering concussion against australia in november. great britain's fed cup team will play kazakhstan in april, in a play—off to reach world group two, and a chance to make it into the top tier for the first time since 1993. and the good news is they'll be playing at home, probably at london's copper box arena. it comes after three victories in bath last week. now they face kazakhstan, whose number one yulia putintseva is ranked 43 in the world, four places behind british number one johanna konta. ronnie o'sullivan survived a scare to progress to the second round of the welsh open. the rocket looked very erratic in the early stages of his match against sanderson lam in cardiff. he was trailing by two frames to one before coming back to win 4—2. that's all the sport for now.

you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. and more of course in sportsday at 6:30pm. thank you. football greats are continuing to pay tribute to england's world cup winning goalkeeper gordon banks, who's died at the age of 81. just a selection for you of the tributes. football legend pele tweeted: ex—england striker michael owen tweeted: sir geoff hurst said: and one

of england's current players raheem sterling says ‘england legend, your legacy will live on.‘ the former england goalkeeper dave beasantjoins me now. thanks very much forjoining us. we spoke to ray clemence earlier and i'm wondering what your memories of the man are, how would you describe gordon banks the man? he was not just a legendary goalkeeper, but a proper gentleman and i had the pleasure of meeting him on numerous occasions, and someone that as a goalkeeper growing up you wanted to try and emulate. when we look at his skills and what he achieved, he was a very modest guy but what would you pick out that his real achievements in the sport? you would have to look

no further than the world cup. he was our only goalkeeper to manage to wina was our only goalkeeper to manage to win a world cup medal. the fact he achieved such a feat, and everyone talks about the says he made but the enormity of the occasion, the fact the opposing player was pele added all the ingredients to make it an even more fantastic save. when you look at the skills he brought to the game, and the game has changed a huge amount since then, but that range of skills, plus the kind of i suppose appetite for hard work, it's the combination of natural talent and hard work. is that the secret? even more so for a goalkeeper of gordon's era. in those days you didn't have goalkeeping coaches to work on your technique, to observe

and break things down. he had to do it on his own, and work himself and be prepared to get everything somehow right for the occasion on saturdays. can we talk about him as a friend and a companion? what kind of character was he? he was such a down—to—earth gentleman and as eve ryo ne down—to—earth gentleman and as everyone has said, a real and proper gentle person. a real down—to—earth type of person. when people are looking back in years to come, i suppose, really, today's younger generation who are familiar with different goalkeepers and difference dials up late and if i may say so different kinds of conduct from players on and off the pitch, how do you think gordon will be seen in that kind of pantheons? the modern—day young child will u nfortu nately not modern—day young child will unfortunately not have seen or be able to see gordon in his true element. the television footage we

get of gordon nowadays is not the best, but seeing what he was able to do, being the fact that in those days they didn't use gloves, in those days the balls were five pounds or more in weight so it may be in pounds or more in weight so it may beina pounds or more in weight so it may be in a goalkeeper hard position to play. thank you for paying tribute to gordon banks today. nice of him to gordon banks today. nice of him to add his voice to the tributes being paid to gordon banks today. the time is 5:40pm on bbc news. back to one of our main stories. theresa may was updating ministers and telling them they needed to hold their nerve over brexit. saying the on—going talks with the eu are at a ‘crucial stage'.

that was questioned by guy verhofstadt. clearly a lot of work to be done. let's got back to westminster and speak to our chief political correspondent vicki young. really the message from theresa may was give me some more time. she is asking for the changes which parliament wants in order to get her deal through in this place. the problem is many will be thinking there are not many signs those negotiations or talks are making much progress. to discuss this i'm joined by the father of the house, ken clarke. what did you make of what theresa may had to say today? you summed it up. there is no progress, she is trying to alter the agreement she had reached in order to please the ultra—right—wing members of my party and the dup and i don't think she's getting very far. time is running out and we have got to find some way of reaching a

kind of british parliamentary and public consensus and majority so we know what we are negotiating, and i hope we will have another go on thursday. the labour party has moved quite a long way, i don't know quite how they have got jeremy to come quite that far, but i personally agree with the labour party's five principles. he talks some nonsense around it, but sitting around and waiting to see if something can be found in brussels that weeks the irish backstop, getting down to the sensible business of customs arrangements, what market regulatory arrangements, what market regulatory arrangements we have, to get through arrangements we have, to get through a smooth passage on march the 29th into a transition period so essentially things don't change for our businesses and employment. then missed out the grown—up negotiations, we have years to come on the serious business of long—term arrangements. if theresa may is

faced with the task of getting votes from labour, she doesn't seem very willing to do that. both parties are hope leslie split. there are factions and shades of opinion which is why we need some indicative votes to try to get a sense of where there isa to try to get a sense of where there is a cross—party majority. i understand river—macro job is is a cross—party majority. i understand river—macrojob is to is a cross—party majority. i understand river—macro job is to try to keep the conservative party in one piece but even the cabinet don't agree with each other. the right wing have formed a breakaway party, the european research group, they call it. it is a party within the party that has its own leader and whip. fortunately for her they themselves have split. but she won't get a parliamentary majorityjust by trying to get a form of words out of brussels to please them. we should have more serious efforts to get a cross— party have more serious efforts to get a cross—party majority before now, appealing to more reasonable members

of the labour party. the only problem isjeremy of the labour party. the only problem is jeremy will get of the labour party. the only problem isjeremy will get in the way a bit because he's a hardline brexiteer. if she's bringing her deal back and we are close to the departure data, some are talking about the summit towards the end of march, at that point do you think it might be the case that people will think it is no deal or this deal and get behind it in large numbers? the house of commons is as unpredictable as the negotiations. i will vote for it, i voted for the withdrawal agreement. the so—called irish backstop is totally harmless and most members of the public couldn't tell you what the irish backstop is for their life, so i hope it comes off but it strikes me as a hair raising way to proceed. we need a sensible majority across the floor to come together in the house of commons to get us through into the transition period and then perhaps find a more sensible way of debating the long—term negotiations which i think will take four or five years

more. whilst we settle in future what will be our security relationships, crying, trade, investment, regulation of medicines, all of these things which we haven't really started on yet. so let's wrap up really started on yet. so let's wrap up the irish backstop, get a majority for a withdrawal agreement that gets us through, don't cause great disruption on march the 29th, andi great disruption on march the 29th, and i think people are exaggerating it but it will do terrible damage. let's get back to serious negotiations on what we are going to replace the european union with. if mps insist they are bound by this opinion poll or referendum so we have got to leave the european union. ken clarke, thank you, and a timely reminder this is just the beginning, the terms of leaving the eu and still to be sorted out by parliament and others is the future relationship with the eu.

many thanks. in the last few minutes the mexican drug lord el chapo has been found guilty of all ten charges in a court in new york. nada tawfik has been following the story for us from new york. bring us up—to—date on the verdicts and what this means. a unanimous decision by thejury and what this means. a unanimous decision by the jury at this federal courthouse in new york. al chappell has been found guilty on all of the ten criminal charges against him which involve drug trafficking, conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to money—laundering. this is a huge win for us prosecutors who had been building this case for decades, and

who have spent months bringing some of el chapo's closest aides against him in this case, to convince the jury him in this case, to convince the jury that he had trafficked tonnes of cocaine, heroin and other drugs into the united date. he is by far the us prosecutors' greatest prize in the waron the us prosecutors' greatest prize in the war on drugs. they detailed how el chapo looked shocked when the verdict was read, how he locked eyes with his beauty queen wife who has been here through every day of the trial and nodded to her before he was escorted out. the guilty verdict means he is expected to serve life ina means he is expected to serve life in a maximum—security prison here the united states. the first count alone who was charged with carried that mandatory guilty verdict that i have taken a look back at this extraordinary blockbuster trial. this raid by mexican marines was the

beginning of the end of el chapo's reign as a drug lord. the prosecutors secured his extradition to new york and the conviction that sealed his fate. after a blockbuster trial but saw some of his closest associates testify against him, el chapo was found guilty of ten criminal charges including drug trafficking, and money—laundering. joaquin guzman is the most infamous, the most feared, and the wealthiest narcotics trafficker in the world. he directed tens of thousands of tonnes of high—grade cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and heroine into the united states as well as into other parts of the world to include europe. for months, the federal courthouse in new york became the set of a compelling drama com plete became the set of a compelling drama complete with a captivated audience and a colourful cast that included

el chapo's beauty queen wife. prosecutors argued el chapo's many escapes proved his guilt. jurors we re escapes proved his guilt. jurors were shown this muted video of marines trying to ram the door of one of his secret hideouts. the drug lord was in bed with his mistress at the time and together they skate naked through a hydraulic hatch and down into a sewer tunnel. when he was captured it wasn't for long. the jury was captured it wasn't for long. the jury was shown one of his brazen escapes from prison in mexico through a tunnel in a shower in itself where a motorcycle waited to speed him off. the trial also heard some jaw—dropping allegations. one witness testified this former president accepted $100 million bribe from el chapo, a claim the politician has strongly denied. the trial allowed american prosecutors did to detail the inner workings of

the powerful cartel. jurors were told that in just four drug shipments, he smuggled more than a line of cocaine for every person in the united states using various decoys like plastic bananas. the trials showed how el chapo can be brutally violent and paranoid, he ordered the murder of his own cousin and was known to personally torture and was known to personally torture and kill his own enemies. he also spied on his associates using sophisticated —— technology. there we re sophisticated —— technology. there were many more shocking stories that jurors never heard, including a claim that he routinely drugged and raped girls as young as 13 years old, calling them his vitamins. lawyers for el chapo denied the allegations. security has been a major feature of this trial and now that prosecutors have won the conviction of the infamous drug lord, is expected to spend the rest

of his life in prison under heavy guard. prosecutors at any moment are expected to come out to give reaction. this was the biggest trial in us history for narcotics crimes and certainly here in new york this is now one of the key moments we are waiting for to see how prosecutors will react to this media victory. thank you very much again for the latest on the outcome of that trial in new york. the time is nine minutes to six. convicted criminals in england could be banned from driving taxis or minicabs under new government proposals to protect passengers. those convicted of serious crimes including sexual offences would be refused a license. the government will also consider putting cctv into taxis. convicted criminals in england could be banned from driving taxis the plans would affect drivers in england and, for the time being, wales as well. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. it's his car, i can't get out, he does what he wants. he's in control of that car,

i'm not in control at all. sarah, not her real name, ordered a taxi from uber to get home. when herfriend got out, everything changed. he started making some inappropriate comments to me. it got a little bit more sexual and i started feeling uncomfortable. he turned around and put his hand on my knee. so, ijust reacted and tried to move his hand off but he then held onto my hand. you know, i was thinking, is he going to rape me? the driver assaulted two other young women, all in the space of three days he was jailed for two years. caroline is going to have an inspection on the outside and can i check your badge, please? in newcastle, some taxis were used by a gang to abuse girls and young women over a number of years. since then, they have toughened checks and the procedures for issuing licences. in the past year, four taxi drivers who had previously been convicted of sexual offences have had their licences taken away

and that is just here in newcastle. but, under the current system, if one local authority gets tough, there is nothing to stop somebody going to another area where the rules are not so strict and getting a licence there. so, in the north—east of england, councils created a single licensing authority, making standards and checks the same. now, the government wants to do something similar for all of england, and possibly wales, too. i think in this region we have come together to work very much uniformly in our standards and our procedures. but i can't speak highly enough of the need to progress the national standards. the government is also thinking about making cctv mandatory in all taxis. this company says it is not straightforward. we were one of the first companies to originally introduce it. we had all kinds of problems with suppliers, not meeting the right data protection rules, how long you keep the footage for, who has access to the footage. sarah, who was assaulted by a taxi driver, says criminal record checks should have been compulsory long ago. we need to know who is

driving people around. if there are people out there who actually have been caught doing something bad before, then why the hell are they still on the roads? in the future, the government wants anyone with a sexual conviction to be barred from getting a licence. tom burridge, bbc news, newcastle. there were almost two million complaints last year from people across the uk saying their rubbish wasn't being collected from their homes. the figures obtained by the bbc suggest the number of complaints has increased by a third since 2014. our correspondent david rhodes reports. piled high and going nowhere. life for residents on this street in leeds has been pretty grim in recent weeks. since christmas, i'm not actually sure if we've had a collection. like, the bins haven't been collected and it has got worse. like, i've lived in hyde park now for three years and i've not seen it this bad. here, students live next to those who have called the streets home for decades. all agree, though, that the council could do a betterjob at collecting the bins.

it's awful. they are not coming. and sometimes... too windy, they blow down, go everywhere. as you can see, it's overflowing. we've had this issue for a while and it's just really disgusting, we see rats everywhere. since we filmed here last week, leeds city council say they've been back to empty these bins and that they collect over 99% of all waste on time. waste collection teams go out in all weather. here in barnsley, complaints about bin collections have been falling, and across the country, over 800 million bins are collected by councils every year. bad weather, the rise of social media, all reasons why complaints to councils about bins not being picked up are, yes, going up. but there is a clear trend. more of us feel our bins are not being collected on time. last year, 1.8 million complaints were made to councils about rubbish being left uncollected, and figures from over 200 councils across the uk show the number of complaints has increased by a third since 2014.

we need to do better, but it's in the whole picture of austerity. 60p in every pound gone in government funding. that is going to have an impact on councils' ability to deliver services. the government said that in the coming year, councils would get £1 billion extra funding to provide essential services, but many households continue to watch whether one of these is picked up on time. david rhodes, bbc news, barnsley. time for a look at the weather. standby for bbc at six. here's ben rich with the forecast. the middle of february, it should feel like winter over the next few days, i think it will feel more like spring. temperatures well above where they should be this time of year, 6—9 would be average. this was

the scene for a weather watcher in guernsey, not slow in scarborough. this afternoon we saw a lot of cloud around. we can see from the satellite picture the way the cloud has been working in from the west. we have a weak weather front producing the odd spot of rain for some but the main future over the next few days is this south—westerly flow of air, a brisk south—westerly wind at times but one which will bring increasingly mild air. with that it will be mostly dry. we have a weak weather front sitting just about here into parts of wales, the odd spot of rain, certainly a lot of cloud. generally speaking most ending the day dry with temperatures holding up between eight and 11 degrees. as we go deeper into the night temperatures will not drop particularly far because we will see large amounts of cloud and patchy rain moving northwards across northern ireland and up into scotland. some breaks into the

south, with gaps filling in with fog patches and overnight lows between five and 9 degrees. getting into tomorrow, some patchy rain across the northern half of the uk, particularly scotland. much of that should scoot away, then we are looking up dry weather, some spells of sunshine with fairly large areas of sunshine with fairly large areas of cloud. quite breezy, especially in north—western areas but those temperatures above where they should be. we are looking at 6—9 as the average, more like 11 or 12 degrees on wednesday afternoon. as we go into wednesday night and thursday, this patchy rain in the far north—west pulls away northwards and we also get a more southerly flow of wind which will continue bringing the mild air in our direction but also some slightly drier air. the cloud tending to melt away. we may see some cloudy conditions on thursday morning across the

north—west of the uk but further south no cloud showing up which means large amounts of sunshine and these are the temperatures for thursday. a quick look at the end of the week, some places on friday may yet up to 15 degrees. for the weekend most of us try and a little bit of rain in the west. —— most of us bit of rain in the west. —— most of us dry. gordon banks, england's world cup winning goalkeeper, has died. a legend of the game, tributes from around the world and here at home. as a goalkeeper, you know, he was up there with the best of all time. in that era and in the modern day era. he was a match for the very best in the world, even pele at the top of his game. pele! what a save! i alreadyjumped to say goal.

and i looked back, i did goa... 0h! we'll be looking back at gordon banks' career and why many think he's the best goalkeeper we've ever had. also tonight... the drug lord known as el chapo is found guilty in new york.
