calls the trump administration a "gang of extremists" and blames the us for his country's crisis. the world's most notorious drugs lord, el chapo, has been found guilty of multiple charges by a new york court. joaquin guzman, to give him his real name, was accused of trafficking tonnes of cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the united states, engaging in a criminal enterprise, conspiracy and firearms offences. guzman, who's 61, was the head of mexico's most powerful drugs cartel for more than two decades — and was once reputed to be one of the richest men in the world. thejury in new york heard how he left a trail of violence in his wake, employing hit men to carry out murders, assaults,

kidnappings and torture. he carried out two audacious escapes from mexican jails — before being caught in 2016 and extradited to the us. nada tawfik reports.. gunshots this raid by mexican marines was the beginning of the end of joaquin "el chapo" guzman‘s brutal reign as the world's most powerful drug lord. but it was the work of us prosecutors, who secured his extradition to new york and his conviction, that sealed his fate. after a blockbuster trial that saw some of his closest associates testify against him, el chapo was found guilty of ten criminal charges, including drug trafficking, murder conspiracy and money laundering. el chapo guzman is the most infamous, the most feared, the wealthiest narco trafficker in the world, and he directed tens of thousands of tonnes of high—grade cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin into the united states, as well as into other parts

of the world, to include europe. for months, this federal courthouse in new york became the set of a compelling drama, complete with a captivated audience and a colourful cast that included el chapo‘s beauty queen wife, emma coronel. prosecutors argue that el chapo‘s many escapes proved his guilt. jurors were shown this muted video of mexican 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 escaped naked through a hydraulic hatch installed in the bathtub, and down into a sewer tunnel. and when he was captured, it wasn't for long. the jury was shown one of his brazen escapes from prison in mexico, through a tunnel from the shower in his cell, where a motorcycle waited to speed him off. the trial also heard some jaw—dropping allegations. one witness testified that the former mexican president,

enrique pena nieto, accepted a $100 million bribe from el chapo — a claim the politician has strongly denied. the trial allowed american prosecutors to detail the inner workings of the powerful sinaloa cartel. jurors were told that in just four drug shipments, el chapo smuggled more than a line of cocaine for every person in the united states, using various decoys such as plastic bananas. the trial showed how el chapo could be brutally violent and paranoid. he ordered the murder of his own cousin and was known to personally torture and kill his enemies. he also spied on his associates using sophisticated technology that authorities later tapped into, giving them valuable evidence of his crimes. there were many more shocking stories thatjurors never heard. unsealed court documents included a claim that el chapo 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, he is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison under heavy guard. nada tawfik reporting from new york. well, richard donoghue is the us attorney for the eastern district of new york gave his reaction to the verdict. minutes ago, a federaljury here in the eastern district convicted joaquin el chapo guzman on all cou nts joaquin el chapo guzman on all counts of the federal indictment. in sum, thejury counts of the federal indictment. in sum, the jury found that guzman led the cartel. the jury found that guzman led the sinaloa cartel, one of the largest and most dangerous drug cartels in the world. and that he is responsible forviolence, including murders, and the smuggling of massive amounts of narcotics into the united states

over a period of decades. his conviction, we expect, will bring a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. it is a sin from which there is no escape and no return. this conviction is a victory for the american people who have suffered so long and so much while guzman made a billions, pouring poison over our southern border. this conviction is a victory for the mexican people who have lost more than 100,000 lives and drug—related violence. this conviction is a victory for every family who has lost a loved one to the black hole of addiction. there are those who say the war on drugs is not worth fighting. those people are wrong. every date we lose american lives come every day harm is inflicted on this country by drug addiction. and

every seizure, every arrest in every conviction contributes to a noble effort to save american lives. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are kate andrews, news editor at the institute of economic affairs, and political commentator, lance price. one of the legends of football — england's world cup—winning goalkeeper gordon banks — has died aged 81. he is regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers the game has ever seen — and his famous save from the brazilian star pele in the 1970 world cup as one football's most memorable moments. today, pele said banks was "a goalkeeper with magic and a fine humid being." another of england's 1966 world cup heroes, sir bobby charlton, said he was "proud to have called him a team—mate" and that he would be deeply missed. gordon banks was named fifa goalkeeper of the year an unprecedented six times in a row between 1966 and 1971.

in a glittering international career, he won 73 caps for england and picked up a world cup winner's medal in 1966 — as part of the team that beat west germany 11—2 in the final at wembley. 0ur sports editor dan roan has this report. it remains a footballing miracle. the 1970 world cup, england against brazil and that save. pele! what a save! the greatest ever from one of the greatest ever. four macro years earlier, gordon banks had been a cornerstone of his team's world cup triumph, playing every minute england's momentous campaign and today the country's other great goalkeeper paid this tribute. gordon, as a professional was the first goalkeeper to really do that extra training and it paid offfor him. his all—round game was so good but he was capable of making saves

it look easy by good positional play, that is one thing i always thought was his strength. we always got into a good position, he was not flinging himself around, he was catching a lot of balls. that was what i think was his strength. banks first made his name in the 1950s with leicester city where he won the league cup. banks was safe in the leicester goal. he was awarded the first of 73 caps in 1963, his reliability and agility pivotal to english football's greatest moment in three years later. today, those who played alongside him at wembley were united in 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 greatest. although england fell short at the next world cup, banks was at his peak, most famously against brazil with the save of the century. pele! what a save! quite how he denied pele

and a header that seemed destined for the net dumbfounded anyone, not least banks himself. ijust got my hand to it and it goes in that direction. honest to god i thought it was a goal, when i hit the floor like that, the position now, i turned around and i could see it bouncing behind the goal! i couldn't believe it! banks and pele later became close friends, this is the brazilian legend's memory of the legend that forged the bond between them. i had the ball, ialreadyjumped to say goal and i looked there and i did goa... 0h! today on social media, pele said, 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. banks's brilliance 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 and,

amid emotional scenes, he was forced to retire from the english game. today at the club where he is honoured, fans have been gathering to pay their respects to a man who went from playing legend to life president, including members of stoke city's current team. he just had a way of making everyone feel brilliant, whatever presence he was in, he just had a way of rubbing off on people and bringing happiness. he always made me feel extremely happy and it is testament to him as a person. banks made a brief comeback in the us in 1976 but his fame and popularity proved enduring. in 2012 they carried the olympic torch at wembley where, in 2012 he carried the olympic torch at wembley where, decades earlier, he had entered footballing folklore. in a statement today, his family said they could not have been prouder of a man regarded as the greatest keeper to grace the english game. the attributes continued to pour in

behind me at stoke city but in truth, fans from every english club are in agreement when it comes to goalkeeping, gordon banks was simply the best. not only between the sixth for england finest hour, and in doing so did something which no other english goalkeeper have achieved by lifting the world cup, four years later by pulling out that remarkable save against pelle, he entered that very rare and elite category a sports person who managed to retrieve something that is truly illogical in the room perhaps of sporting genghis and miracle. it is interesting to consider what he may have achieved had he not separate that cool eye injury in 1972. his passing does make you consider how much has changed, a world cup winning english goalkeeper now would bea winning english goalkeeper now would be a multimillionaire, 1967 when he came here, signing for £50,000, he had to sell his world cup winning metal to raise funds for his family.

aid didn't begrudge the wealth of minor footballers to aid didn't begrudge the wealth of minorfootballers to him he aid didn't begrudge the wealth of minor footballers to him he was a decent man, a gentleman in football's miracle man and english football's miracle man and english football safest pair of hands. the former arsenal and scotland keeper, bob wilson, knew gordon well... and hejoins us from dorset. thank you for being with us. very sad day. a terrible day in a real shame that i'm having to speak to you on this particular day. you saw him play as a kid, didn't you? yes. if you count my being i think 16 and banks was 18 or 19. a few years difference between us. i was born in chesterfield, very scottish parents, gordon who had been born in sheffield, signed to chesterfield, i was an aspiring young goalie, i guess already then i had a hero, bert trotman, very famous a german prisoner of war. this young goalie

came in to chesterfield and i said behind his goal, and i got from day one, this is different. this is incredible. this guy is almost on a trampoline the way he bounces around. his agility and speed. and his reaction. when it was my time, i we should go to watch him around the other end. he was an inspiration for mejust being... i never thought i would finish up playing at the top level as he initially did himself playing against cord and probably other the more times at least. you played against him. how did you become friends beyond the that? you probably know this, and i read a sort of log, goalkeeper union. laughter we all are very aware of oui’ laughter we all are very aware of our strength and weaknesses. —— unwritten rules. what makes us very happy and what makes us sad, if we make great saves, we play great

games and we congratulate each other. if we make a mistake, we commiserate with each other. we are very aware that we have chosen a position which is the craziest position which is the craziest position in a team of 11, you become friends in that way. playing an fa cup semifinals on several times, for me, iwas cup semifinals on several times, for me, i was finishing on the winning side, so it was commiseration with gordon. he always knew that i came from chesterfield and ice to watch them. beyond that, once he was on them. beyond that, once he was on the england side and i was having real success at arsenal and winning trophies, he was pleased for me, incredibly please for me. you have to remember about him, he was not only the greatest goalkeeper english has ever seen come only the greatest goalkeeper english has ever seen come on only the greatest goalkeeper english has ever seen come on the fact that he is the only one with a winners medal, but on his humanity, his humility, off of the field, just an incredibly great guy. as we got older and beyond that playing days,

we would often be in discussions together, i had the pleasure of doing a major interview with him only a few years ago. i think in half hour or an hour long, and we became friends as goalkeepers tend to be over the years. you talk about the goalkeepers union. peter shilton hassan speaking today, you speak, jack butland, every one of you have used the word decent or kind or gentlemanly, he is a man whose athletic prowess was obvious to eve ryo ne athletic prowess was obvious to everyone but that other side of him, that all—consuming decency, is something that everybody is pointing to today. yes. without any doubt, the great thing about gordon is that us success came from the great thing about gordon is that us success came from him, from chesterfield to leicestershire, stoke but with england mostly, gordon never everforgot stoke but with england mostly, gordon never ever forgot throughout the whole of his playing career

where it began, what the game had given to him, the greatness it brought upon him and his family, and he was always grateful for that. he never looked under the other way around. he never look like we are looking to insane gordon banks, thank you so much for what you have given to the game of football. for us given to the game of football. for us goalkeepers, thank you for inspiring us that we have inspired us. inspiring us that we have inspired us. whenever we met up, goalkeepers have a great togetherness. we do understand our failings and when things go wrong for us and so it is a lwa ys things go wrong for us and so it is always arms around each other to commiserate with those things go badly and it is arms around each other when things have gone well and we went. but he just was an incredible gentleman, on a chair at as well come if i was ever needing anything for a charity my wife and i set up, gordon would be there, he

will sign anything, it's been an absolute privilege for me to have got to know him over the years from that school boy 15 or 16 behind his goal in chesterfield to being able to share the field of play with them and to admire him and to admire everything he achieved and of course that goal, not the save, that will remain forever in a day in my mind, ican remain forever in a day in my mind, i can ever imagine me everything a save that encapsulates everything you need to be as a great goalkeeper that his positional play, when the ball got to the goal line before it was ci’oss, ball got to the goal line before it was cross, and then his incredible speed of feet to get him halfway across his goal, eight yards wide and then this spring and gymnastic agility to then get there and get his hand to the ball on the bounce

because pelle had headed into the ground. and gordon somehow got his hand ina ground. and gordon somehow got his hand in a position that didn't help it into the net, or helping out to the opposition, it helped it upwards and over. it was an extraordinary moment and for those guys, close to him, who have been beaten in the air by pele and for his captain bobby moore came up immediately and patted him on the back, gordon always said that he always said it it was bobby moore that said it rather than alan murray would go up and pat them on the back after the save as a come on, you should be catching those. laughter i have seen that goal so many times, all of us today. i could watch it another few thousand times. unbelievable. good to talk to you bob. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's katharine downes. good evening. the knockout stages

of the champions league are under way and it's a huge night for manchester united, revitalised under 0le gunnar solskjaer, they are hosting french champion paris saint germain at old trafford. currently so far. paris st—germain without their star players but still a huge test for them. there are five matches in the championship too this evening — these are the latest scores. west brom could move up to third if they beat nottingham forest — but they are a goal down at the hawthorns. stefanjohansen with an own goal. while bolton could move themselves closer to safety — they're against eighth place birmingham, it's currently goalless there. in league 2, paul scholes is taking charge of 0ldham for the first time tonight. they're at home to yeovil and the score is currently 0—0. tributes have been paid today to gordon banks who has died at the age of 81.

he was england's goalkeeper when they lifted the world cup for the only time in 1966. brazilian legend pele, who banks famously saved from at the 1970 world cup, called him a "goalkeeper with magic" and "a fine human being". banks's only domestic honour was a league cup with stoke city in 1972. their current keeper is jack butland. you ask anybody about gordon and they will tell you first and foremost, what a great person he was. and just what a gentleman he was. and just what a gentleman he was. he had a way of turning people up was. he had a way of turning people up and making people happy. 0ver was. he had a way of turning people up and making people happy. over the last three years i've gotten to know gordon very well. he invited me to his home to me his family and talk about everything from the well cup to defend the corners and everything, so for me it has an extra bit to it, knowing him verily well which is an honourfor me.

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, and england need just two more wickets for victory — three wickets so far forjimmy anderson, and three for moeen, mark wood with the other. earlierjoe root declared as soon as he was out for 122 — 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 closing in on victory, but they've still lost the series. west indies bowler shannon gabriel has been charged with a breach of the icc code of conduct following his clash with england captainjoe root. root has been seen responding to a comment from gabriel by saying: "don't use it as an insult. there's nothing wrong with being gay." the charge, which was laid by match umpires, will now be dealt with by match refereejeff crowe. 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 though 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 britains 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, who's number one yulia putintseva is ranked 43 in the world, four places behind british number one johanna konta. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at 10:30pm. thank you.

it has the largest oil reserves in the world, but during president maduro's time in office venezuela's economy has collapsed. the cost of living has soared — with prices doubling every 19 days. three million people have fled, most of them since 2015. the united states accuses mr maduro's government of human rights violations and corruption, and has called on him to step down. today, in an exclusive interview with bbc news, mr maduro accused the us of waging a political war on the country. he was speaking to our international correspondent 0rla guerin. 0rla. president maduro, very nice to see you. thank you for having us. and opulent setting for and embattled leader. nicolas maduro still occupies venezuela's presidential palace. a short drive away, many of his people are going hungry, but he's still refusing us aid, sitting just across the border in colombia. translation: venezuela is a dignified country, and the united states intends to create

a humanitarian crisis to justify a military intervention. that's part of this show. you say the humanitarian aid is a show, president, but are you actually saying that the hunger is a show? because we have seen it with our own eyes — we have actually seen people reaching into the garbage with their hands to find food to eat. are you honestly saying there is no hunger in venezuela? the bbc in london has created a stereotype, and the american media also, of venezuela that doesn't exist. do we have problems? yes, but venezuela is not a country with hunger. but this is what we have seen here — an economy in ruins, a country in crisis. hospitals without insulin and basic drugs, desperately ill patients without treatment.

and, today, opposition supporters out on the streets again. more than 50 countries now recognise opposition leader, juan guaido, as venezuela's interim president. nicolas maduro claims it's only ten, and blames the white house — which he says is ruled by the kkk. do you really think the ku klux klan are ruling america? i believe that the white supremacists of the ku klux klan lead the united states. so is president trump a white supremacist? he is, publicly and openly, and he has stimulated the neofascists and the neo—nazis in the united states, in europe, and in latin america. far from the comfort of the presidential palace, trucks of desperately needed aid are stuck across the border in colombia —

blocked by venezuelan troops. nicolas maduro says if washington makes any attempt to bring it across, he'll have no option but to fight. 0rla guerin, bbc news, caracas. carlos camacho, a freelance journalist in caracas and joins me now via webcam. hello to you. thank you forjoining us. hello to you. thank you forjoining us. what did you make of some of the responses to the questions there from nicholas maduro that the west and the bbc and other broadcasters make up stories about there being a crisis of food and so on in the country, there is a western plot to depose him, what do you make of all of the? the question from the reporter, but the answer for maduro are old. that is basically his his speech. —— question from the

reporter are new. the new bid being think he is willing to fight against the powerful. he has made clear he does not feel that there is the kind of crisis that the western media suggests there is in venezuela. he, at some level, he doesn't deny there isa at some level, he doesn't deny there is a crisis. he tries to minimise it. what he really fears is the intervention bid, the bid at the end like with maduro, it is more important than the rest of what he said. humanitarian aid,... forget about all of that. the key word here is intervention. he fears that. he fears it, this leads believe it'll bea fears it, this leads believe it'll be a military intervention by the united states? he doesn't want to risk it. at some point, and the interview, he told her that he will like to quit but he cannot come he

says i'm part of a movement. i'm pa rt says i'm part of a movement. i'm part of a political revolutionary historical moment and i can'tjust up historical moment and i can'tjust up and quit individually. he likes to pile the objectives. individual, historical, political thought make every speech has at least three or four sentences like that. in this case, i think what he means, what he is trying to say way is that he cannot just up and is trying to say way is that he cannotjust up and quit. he is part of something larger. i think that is true. if you believe he cannot quit because he's part of a larger movement, do you see him going on simply as long as the military backing them? simply as long as the military backing them ? is simply as long as the military backing them? is that what we are talking about here? he will go on as long as the military back some. be that our or years. at some point, this force will be confronted by a larger force this force will be confronted by a largerforce eitherfrom

this force will be confronted by a larger force either from the outside orfrom the inside. the military who now support him will be confronted by another military. be at the messick who are against them, splintered fractions, or from abroad. already in one way, they have mentioned international coalitions. when it comes to aid. why is the military sticking with them at this moment in time given all the problems that have been happen? like they say, that is a mystery inside an enigma. nobody knows for sure. why is the military risking it, citing with maduro like that, why is the military siding with him... what the critics hearsay is because units have been

infiltrated by intelligence agents, if they do something, they will get reported back to maduro. that is what the opposition says. we living there. good to get your perspective. thank you. —— we leave it there. meanwhile, the uk will provide an emergency humanitarian aid package, worth £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. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. there is a hint of spring in the air at the moment and it looks like it will stay mild with winter on hold thanks to the high pressure delivering this mild air from the south. we had quite a bit of cloud around across northern and western parts

through the day and this weak weather front will bring rain to parts of scotland and northern ireland through the night. it looks like after a cold start of the night, temperatures will rise as the cloud and rain arrives. further south, wednesday is looking largely dry and bright with sunny spells around. more clouds of further north and west you go with light and patchy rain across western hills. temperatures in double figures foremost whether they have the sunshine or not and it will feel springlike. thursday, the best chance of seeing sunshine across scotland and northern ireland as well so fine day with widespread sunshine. still breezy in the far north—west, lighter winds in the south—east, very mild. hello, this is bbc news with clive myrie. the headlines. joaquin guzman, the notorious mexican drug lord known as el chapo, has been found guilty on all ten

counts in his drugs trafficking trial in america. his conviction is a victory for the american people who have suffered so long and so much, while guzman made billions pouring poison over our southern border. tributes have been paid to gordon banks, one of the greats of football, famous for this save against pele, who's died at the age of 81. asa as a goalkeeper, he's up there with the best of all time. in that area and... theresa may has updated mps on her latest brexit plans, and she's denied accusations she's simply running down the clock, to force mps to back her brussels deal. it's emerged that an nhs nurse who died last week, was told six times by the health service, that she didn't have cancer. in an exclusive bbc interview, venezuelan leader nicolas maduro has called the trump administration

a "gang of extremists" and blamed the us for his country's crisis. and coming up: the community effort in the cairngorms to get the uk's highest passenger railway up and running again. theresa may has told mps they need to hold their "nerve" over brexit, saying the on—going talks with the eu are at a "crucial stage". in a statement to the house of commons, the prime minister said she still believes it's possible to find a deal that parliament can support. jeremy corbyn accused mrs may of "running down the clock" in order to "blackmail" mps into supporting her "deeply flawed deal". 0ur deputy poltical editorjohn pienaar reports. clear the way, prime minister coming through. time is almost up to cut a brexit deal with brussels mps might support. each time, mrs may is finding mps less patient than before. 0rder!

prime minister's statement. but her only option today, another appeal. stick with me. the same message, only now with more urgency. 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. the labour leader is keen to offer suggestions but much keener to expose mrs may's appeal for time as a ploy. 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. jeremy corbyn wants britain to stick with eu customs rules. mrs may says no. forget compromise there. and mrs may won't rule out leaving with no deal. some agree, but many don't. the prime minister not only is kicking the can down the road, yet again, she again refuses to take no deal off the table. to get a better deal, you have got to keep no deal on the table as a negotiating tool.

but there is a plan by labour and tory mps to take control if mrs may cannot strike a deal the commons will support. if she can't get a deal in place by the middle of march, there is a real risk we will end up with no deal by accident so, at that point, she would need to come forward and say, does she want no deal or does she want to extend negotiations and then parliament needs to decide. mps planning a takeover will hold back this week but could force a vote in a fortnight, ready to take control in march. rebels believe ministers could join in. i would say to each and every one of them, look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the honest question about whether where we're heading at the moment, which is probably a no deal, whether that is acceptable for the future of britain? and i don't think it is, and i'm pretty sure that a number of current ministerial colleagues agree with me. if unhappy ministers do rebel, brexit could be up for grabs. some believe mrs may would rather

see mps take control than be remembered as the prime minister who split her party, but her real ambition is to beat the odds and deliver brexit herself, hoping some labour mps vote with her and help her win. big moments seem to come along as regularly as buses. the numbers don't look like adding up to a government defeat this week but the outcome is getting closer. it could arrive very late and it mightjust change the course of brexit. john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. back now to our top story, that the world's most notorious drugs lord, el chapo, has been found guilty of multiple charges by a court in new york. his real name isjoaquin guzman, and he was accused of trafficking tens of thousands of tonnes of cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the united states, engaging in a criminal enterprise, conspiracy and firearms offences. malcolm beith is the author of the book ‘the last narco — hunting el chapo, the world's most wanted drug lord' hejoins me now from virginia in the us.

thank you for being with us. how significant is this conviction of el chapo? thank you. in terms of the bigger picture, it is not really a victory in the war on drugs. the war on drugs will continue, it will have some ups on drugs will continue, it will have some ups and downs with lots of collateral damage. tens of thousands of deaths that we cannot seem to be stopping in any way. what is is a good step forward in the judicial system's role in the war on drugs. instead of dropping el chapo down in northern mexico, he was brought all the way to brooklyn to face trial. he was one of the first drug lords to ever actually contest the charges in an american court. that is a huge

step for thejudicial in an american court. that is a huge step for the judicial system. indeed, because he will actually appeal now by all accounts? he will appeal now by all accounts? he will appeal and lose. something i took away from this trial that i was very impressed with was the diligence of thejurors impressed with was the diligence of the jurors putting in impressed with was the diligence of thejurors putting in to impressed with was the diligence of the jurors putting in to look at each charge in testimony, transcript, evidence over and over. they took six days in a trial that we all thought was locked up. so he will lose the appeal, but even if he loses, it is a win for the judicial system. in this comes at a time when the us is everywhere abroad. it is not just the —— the us is everywhere abroad. it is notjust the —— the war on terror is notjust the —— the war on terror is not just bombs or attacking insurgents in iraq, but attacking na rco insurgents in iraq, but attacking narco terrorists in africa and columbia, even mexico. law enforcement has that role, and

again, ican't enforcement has that role, and again, i can't stress more how important the court pause might role in all this is. sure. judicial process and a sense that the levers of society in america, when it comes to thejudicial process, of society in america, when it comes to the judicial process, they worked in this case. but the fact is it needed mexico to co—operate fully in getting this man extradited and arresting him and holding him in mexico city? absolutely. i don't wa nt to mexico city? absolutely. i don't want to sound like a us official, but i will. this could not have been done without the full assistance and cooperation of the mexican authorities. the police and military we re authorities. the police and military were seen authorities. the police and military were seen training from our arms forces as well here in the us, and other countries. but under the conditions of aid and fighting the

drug war, the united states trains their counterparts in mexico. again, it is not a victory, but proof that sometimes this works. when we are on the same page, sometimes things get done. el chapo has escaped from prison twice, but at the end of the day when they need him, when they've played their hand, they've moved things along and put their egos aside, they get things done. sure, but as you say, the sinaloa cartel continues. the suggestion is that it may well be his son who is running the organisation. fighting this war on drugs will be a generational effort, in terms of trying to deal with the drugs that are crossing the borderfrom mexico heading north? absolutely, his sons are allegedly running the cartel now apparently

under the possible guidance of el chapo's rival who came up to trial. prosecutors in the defence allege that they run the sinaloa cartel, but it is mark obligated than that. these cartels form around a product that there is massive demand for in the us and europe. we know more and more that cocaine in europe comes from columbia through mexico —— columbia. they will not stop the drug war, but i've been following the sinaloa cartel since 2008, and if there's one thing that i do believe, it is at the cartel system, these massive organisations that profit off the state, whether they be true corruption or parasitic

assistance, the sinaloa cartel is struggling to hold onto its cohesion. it's a bit like a multinational that has been pummeled by insider turning. when they turn against each other, the chances of it crumbling are quite high. again, the drugs will continue to flow, it is just the drugs will continue to flow, it isjust a the drugs will continue to flow, it is just a matter of who is sending them in? indeed. good to get your perspective. thanks for joining them in? indeed. good to get your perspective. thanks forjoining us. let's take another look back at the life and career of gordon banks, the former england goalkeeper who has died aged 81. tributes have been paid throughout the day. banks, who won the league cup with leicester and stoke, paved the way for a rich heritage in english goalkeeping. after he retired in 1973, peter shilton and ray clemence shared england goalkeeping duties. shilton has been telling us abourt his memories of gordon banks.

he was my hero when i was a youngster growing up in leicester. we used to go down and watch gordon when he was just about to get into the first team, and we followed his career through lester and getting into the england team. and of course, me being a leicester lad, i was starting my career and i used to go down straight from school when there was no soccer academies in train on the car park outside filbert street with george to us. that period of five years until i signed as an apprentice, i had a chance to meet gordon on a few occasions, and it was a great experience. gordon is up there with one of the greatest of all time. i find it difficult to say a goalkeeper is the greatest, like it

is with strikers. there is always a bit of debate, but certainly he was a well cut winter for england in 1966. and he had this fantastic save from pele, which made him famous worldwide. and of course, that's a great thing for a goalkeeper were to be remembered for one particular save. i think gordon would say he made quite a few saves like that in his career, but it's the ones that get remembered that matter. so yeah, i think those two things in particular are things that people will remember about gordon more than anything. i think the save against pele was obviously something people will remember. i put it down to his ha rd will remember. i put it down to his hard work and training, trying for every shot. instead of being lazy, he would try everything and not give up. that paid off in that one moment, which probably made gordon's career. he was on the world cup

stage, and it is one that will be remembered forever. people ask if it was the greatest save ever, and i think in world cup history, yes. the saves made weekend and week out, you wonder how the goalkeeper got that. but that was in a big game against the world's greatest player at the time, and certainly one that will definitely be remembered, and gordon will be remembered that. as a goalkeeper, he's up there with one of the best of all time. in that area and monday aircraft. speak to anyone who's met gordon, they'll all say that he had time for all of them and spoke to them. and i think that was the same for all the 1960s up —— 1966 world cup lads. i think that's one of the reasons they won the world cup, because they had such a great character and with such good people, and gordon was in that line.

and i think a lot of people who met gordon would say he had this very cheeky laugh, it was a special laugh he would do when things were funny. and i think i would rememberfor —— him for that. the headlines on bbc news. the notorious mexican drug trafficker, known as "el chapo," is found guilty in his drugs trial, in america. the 1966 england world cup winning goalkeeper, gordon banks, has died at the age of 81. theresa may updates the commons on brexit, and denies claims that she's running down the clock. an update on the market numbers for you, here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day. not too bad there. 13 minutes foreclosing on wall street, doing 0k, as well. julie 0'connor, a nurse who had

given her best years to the nhs, died last week of cervical cancer. her death at the age of 49 came after southmead hospital in bristol had given her the all—clear six times before the disease was picked up by another hospital. till the very end, julie was campaigning for an inquiry into how the nhs failed her. matthew hill reports. and some may find his report upsetting. julie 0'connor will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother and nurse. but she says it was the nhs that ultimately let her down after failing to spot cancer cells. this was her speaking to a family member less than two weeks ago, just three days before cervical cancer claimed her life. julie, i mean, she was my life.

the impact has been... we can't replace julie. i would say we are all devastated, but i cannot change the past, julie is gone and she will never be forgotten, she will always be in our hearts but what we can do is make some positives out of this. it was in 2014 when she had a routine smear test southmead hospital's pathology lab gave her the all clear. she made six visits in all to the local nhs before finally resorting to going private in 2017. within 30 seconds of being examined by the consultant, he diagnosed me with cervical cancer. he took me in for a hysteroscopy the week after and he couldn't even get the camera into the womb,

it was completely blocked. i was horrified. her family have now secured an independent investigation but fear it will not go far enough. it is a catastrophic failure, absolutely, they caused death. they said it was isolated and rare, however, when you look at the evidence and the missed opportunities, i believe it is highly likely and probable that there are other victims out there. people on social media have contacted us and they have gone through similar experiences. in a statement, the hospital reiterated their apologies and condolences to the family. it says, we are committed to understanding the full circumstances surrounding the care we provide so any lessons can be learnt and will be fully open with the overall findings of the independent investigation. i'm here with my beautiful wife, julie... julie never missed a smear test and herfamily hope herfinal legacy will be to encourage more women to come forward for testing.

matthew hill, bbc news. a bbc cameraman has been attacked at a donald trump rally in texas, by a man in a red baseball cap popular with trump supporters. the president regularly accuses the media of peddling "fake news" and has called journalists the "enemy of the people". the bbc has written to the white house asking for a review of security arrangements for the media attending cameraman ron skeans, who was shaken but unhurt, had been filming with our washington correspondent gary 0'donoghue, who sent this report. it's become a constant refrain at donald trump's rallies. i heard the same thing from the fake news. it's fake news! the fake news right here. journalists are regularly shouted out and abused. but this time, one member of the crowd took matters into his own hands. at first, he pushes the camera from behind into my cameraman.

and then, as he passes, he shoves violently once again before being restrained. fortunately, my cameraman was not hurt, and the man was taken away. moments later, the president appeared to acknowledge the seriousness of what had happened, but he did not condemn it. you all right? everything 0k? criticising the media is part and parcel of a free society, and america has enshrined free speech in the first amendment to its constitution. but what happened at last night's rally went well beyond that, and the context does matter. i do think it's true that they are sometimes a bit more riled up after a trump rally than they are before it trump rally,

so there is no question that the president stirs the pot. 0ne regular target of hostility is the cable news network cnn. this was filmed by their correspondent, jim acosta, last year. this was the president's first campaign rally of the new year, and next year's general election looks set to be as hostile from the media as the last one was. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, el paso, texas. the british rapper professor green has cancelled an upcoming tour after fracturing his neck in a fall. green, known off stage as stephen manderson, said in an instagram post that he had three seizures which resulted in the fall. his tour was due to begin tonight, at the globe in cardiff. for skiers in the cairngorms, the funicular railway is one of the main ways they get up the slopes. but it's currently out of action, and that's hitting the tourist industry hard. so a community group wants to step in to try to get it up and running again. 0ur scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. cairngorm mountain.

the winter landscape and stunning views meant, in years past, the runs here were amongst scotland's busiest. some of the skiers here grew up on these slopes. is this place important to you? very, very important to me. i have been fortunate enough to come up here since i was a bairn with my parents. i would not be that happy living here without this on my doorstep, i can't get enough of it. but there's a problem. the mountain's funicular is out of action. it's been a slow start to the season and the track's closure has not helped. this is billed as the country's highest railway, when it is open it will take you through the clouds, close to the summit of the mountain. but the problem is there is a weakness in the structure and they need to strengthen the beams that support the track, as well as the foundations. katie runs a local business. she says the closure was initially a cause for concern but she adds that in an area dependent

on the boom or bust of winter snow, people here always find a way through. there's a lot of coach parties that would come to go up on the train, have a hot chocolate at the top and take in the views, and with the train not running, those coach parties can't come. so visitor numbers, probably, are down. so, now a local community group want to buy the site and run it not just as a winter resort, but through the summer too. it's our work, our play, our heritage, our children's future. we believe this mountain is sustainable, we see no reason why it can't be done by introducing summer aspects like mountaincoasters, zip wires, mountain biking. the owner of the site says the slopes here are open for business as they work on getting the railway running again. any buyout could take years, but those behind it are hopeful they will take back their mountain for the community who live close by. lorna gordon, bbc news,
