gunshots. this raid by mexican marines finally put an end tojoaquin "el chapo" guzman‘s brutal reign as the world's most powerful drug lord. but it was the work of us authorities who secured his extradition to new york, and ultimately his conviction, that sealed his fate. his conviction, we expect, will bring a sentence of life without the possibility of parole. it is a sentence from which there is no escape and no return. in a major victory for us law enforcement, the anonymous jury found el chapo guilty on all ten of the criminal charges against him, including drug trafficking and murder conspiracy. when the verdict was read in court, el chapo sat stunned. he and his teary eyed wife emma coronel gave each

other a thumbs—up. for months, she was present to hear the overwhelming evidence against her husband. but on tuesday, she left the court for the final time without giving any reaction. el chapo‘s lawyers say they plan to appeal. he was very clear to us. he's a very upbeat guy, and he was bringing our spirits up, which is surprising. usually, it's the other way round, we are consoling a client who has just been convicted of counts that will ensure he was then the rest of his life in prison. this is a positive guy. prosecutors argued 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 a 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 a shower

in the cell where a motorcycle waited to speed him off. the trial allowed american prosecutors to detail the inner workings of the powerful sinaloa cartel and el chapo‘s rise from a humble farmer in the sierra madre mountains to the world's most powerful drug lord. jurors were told that in just four drug shipments, the cartel smuggled more than a line of cocaine for every person in the united states, using various decoys such as plastic bananas. the trial featured testimony from many of el chapo‘s closest associates. together, they painted a vivid picture of how he consolidated power by paying enormous bribes and by being brutally violent. he once ordered the murder of his own cousin and was known to personally torture and kill his enemies. 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, bbc news, new york. joining me now from new york

is douglas century, author of the book, hunting el chapo: taking down the world's most wanted drug lord. it is good to see you. thank you for joining us. i am just wondering, given the allegations against him, drug trafficking, extortion, murder, including potentially his own cousin, trying to bribe the president of mexico to the tune of $100 million, something the president denies. what are his grounds for appeal? well, i suppose the attorneys are going to say that the attorneys are going to say that the cooperating witnesses, many of these, operating witnesses or drug traffickers in their own right, and then their credibility may have been compromised. i don't believe he has a leg to stand on in an appeal but they will try, they will try to stay

that perhaps the government was unfair. but i mean the avalanche as it was called off evidence that was just horrific. people knew he was a smuggler of tons of cocaine and assets of $14 billion as i said but the brutal torture, the rates of 13—year—old girls, that wasn't allowed to be played for the jury, you know, on a moral level he is a very reprehensible human being and that was exposed. the mythology of the robin hood narco was exposed for all to see as a fallacy. yes, it is interesting given the charge sheet which was as long as anyone's arm, thejury took six which was as long as anyone's arm, the jury took six days to deliberate on their verdict. so they were thoughtful, they were pensive, they took their time on this, they didn't just throw the book at this guy, they really thought through what the judge was saying, what all the evidence was put in front of them said. i believed from the moment he was extradited that there was not a chance that he would be acquitted, but i think that the charge sheet

was so but i think that the charge sheet was so complex, the way the jurors had to go through it, they were very methodical, and you know people were trying to read tea leaves and wonder if maybe they were j, or if there was maybe a jurpr who had been compromised. and the evidence was absolutely overwhelming. you know, there were things in the book i co—authored, just horrific incidents of, yes, he plotted to kill his own family members. he betrayed his mistress, who presented herself on the witness stand, who fled through the witness stand, who fled through the bath tub tunnel with them. you know, he betrayed her. and everybody in the end betrayed him. so as a morality tale it doesn't get much better. does it change the supply and flow of drugs as long as consumers want to party in canada and the united states? that is what i want to get into now, finally. the bottom line is this guy was pulling in something like $3 billion the air. and there are other drug was

out there as well who are making lots of money in this. —— a year. as long as there is a market on the streets of london, paris, new york, chicago, wherever, these guys are going to be rolling in it and people are going to be dying and that is pa rt are going to be dying and that is part of the equation here, the demand for the supply that these quys demand for the supply that these guys back up. the only victory here is that it is basically saying no man is above the law. so they caught him. but there is already a guy who no—one has really heard about, someone no—one has really heard about, someone called mencho in guadalajara who has come into the vacuum, and the smuggling that exists, the appetite for cocaine. chapo was a very smart man. it was an emphasised much in the trial but canada was one of his major markets. because a retail kilogram of cocaine in la would be 25,000, in vancouver and toronto it is 35,000. so he exploited canada for sheer profit margin. as long as the consumers are there there are other narcos. and, you know, the corruption in mexico

which was exposed, and rico pinota denies the allegation of $100 million in bribes but there are very well—documented cases of very high ranking officials accepting tens of millions of dollars and it is very ha rd millions of dollars and it is very hard ina millions of dollars and it is very hard in a poor country like mexico to imagine people are going to stop bribing government officials, border security, prison guards. so what does the title mean? in means a larger—than—life narco does the title mean? in means a la rger—than—life narco has does the title mean? in means a larger—than—life narco has been convicted and will spend the rest of his life in prison. we'll cocaine still be available? yes, everywhere in the same announced that it was before —— will. i hate to say that but that is the sad reality. that is the reality. 0k, douglas, good to talk to you. douglas century they're speaking to us from new york. many tributes have been paid today to gordon banks, one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time, and a legend of english football, who's 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 on no fewer than six occasions.

his former club, stoke city, said his family were "devastated to lose him" but could not have been more proud of his life and achievements. 0ur sports editor dan roan looks back at his life. his report contains flash photography. it remains a footballing miracle. the 1970 world cup, england against brazil, and a moment of magic. commentator: pele! what a save! the game's greatest save by one of its greatest players. four years earlier, gordon banks had been a cornerstone of his team's world cup triumph, playing every minute of 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 that paid off for him. and his all—round game was so good, but he was capable of making saves look easy by good positional play. that's one thing that i always thought was his strength. you know, he always got into a good position, he wasn't always flinging himself around, he was catching

a lot of balls. and, yeah, that was what i think was his strength. banks first made his name back 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 three years later. today, those who played alongside him at wembley were united in tribute. sir geoff hurst hailing banks as one of the very greatest. and the recognition came from rivals, too. the german fa describing him as a fierce opponent and a good man. 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 everyone, not least banks himself. ijust get my hand to it, and it goes in that direction.

and honest to god, i thought it was a goal. when i hit the floor, boom, like that, the position now, i turned round and i could see it bounce behind the goal! i couldn't believe it! banks and pele later became close friends. this, the brazilian legend's memory of the legend that forged the bond between them. i had the ball, i already jumped to say "goal", then 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 banks 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's testament to him as a person. banks's popularity has endured, in 2012 carrying the olympic torch at wembley, where decades earlier he'd entered footballing folklore. and, such was his standing, he was one of the legends chosen to be part of the world cup draw in moscowjust over a year ago. in a statement today, his family said they could not have been prouder. the greatest keeper to grace the english game. well, as you can see by me here at

stoke city, tributes have continued to pour in but of course in true fa ns to pour in but of course in true fans from clubs up and down the country will all agree that when it comes to english goalkeeping, gordon banks was simply the best and the stats very much back that up. remember this was a man crowned fifa's world goalkeeper of the year not once but six times, six years in a row in fact. the fourth member of england's legendary 1966 world cup winning starting 11 to pass away. banks will always be remembered for that crowning glory, that achievement, that remarkable save four years later and for being a decent man, the safest pair of hands that english football has ever seen. that saved from pele has gone down in history. the former arsenal goalkeeper has been telling me about it and why he was outstanding. to save, the pele said, that will remain forever and a day in my mind.

i can't ever imagine my ever seeing a save that encapsulates everything you need to be as great goalkeeper. that is positional play, that is the initial part of the play when the ball got to the goal line, before it was crossed, and then his incredible speed of feet to get him halfway across his goal, eight yards wide, and then this spring and gymnastic ability to then get there, get his hand to the ball, it was on the bounce because pele had headed into the ground, it was on the bounce upwards, and he somehow got his hand into the position that didn't help it into the net or help it out to the opposition, it helped it upwards and over. it was an extraordinary moment, and for those guys are absolutely close to it, alan mallory, who had been beaten in the air by pele, in particularfor his captain, bobby moore, the great bobby moore, who came in immediately and patted him on the back, gordon a lwa ys and patted him on the back, gordon always said in his after—dinner speeches, he always said that it was

bobby moore that said it rather than alan murray, would go up to him and pat him on the back and say come on, come on, gordon. you should be catching those. the prime minister has promised mps a final decisive vote on her brexit deal, but not until she has secured changes to the so—called backstop, which guarantees no hard border between northern ireland and the republic. theresa may said she needed some time to get the changes, and she told mps to hold their nerve. labour's jeremy corbyn accused her of running down the clock to try to blackmail parliament into backing her deal. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar has the latest. 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 that better deal, you have got to keep no—deal on the table as a negotiating tool. there is a plan by labour and tory mps to take control if mrs may can't strike a deal

the commons will support. if she can't get a deal in place by the middle of march, there's a real risk we'll 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 of 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. nicolas maduro has accused the us of waging political war on his country, and he has flatly denied that people are going hungry because of an economic crisis. huge crowds today marched in support of mr maduro's rival, juan guaido, who has been recognised by the us and others as interim president. 0ur international correspondent 0rla guerin sent this report. people power on the streets of caracas today. the opposition still summoning the crowds, still keeping up the pressure. and on the ground, their charismatic

young leader, juan guaido, already compared to barack 0bama. his ascent has been swift, fuelled by little more than the power of hope, but he is now recognised by leading western countries as the interim president. 0rla. president maduro, very nice to see you. thank you for having us. in an opulent setting, we met the other president of venezuela, nicolas maduro. embattled, internationally isolated, but still occupying the seat of power. though many of his people are going hungry, he is still refusing us aid waiting 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 a venezuela that doesn't exist. do we have problems? yes, but venezuela is not a country with hunger. tell that to those like john, forced to live hand—to—mouth, straight from the rubbish. a shocking sight, in what was one of the wealthiest countries in latin america. now a place of empty promises. hospitals without insulin and basic drugs, desperately ill

patients without treatment. but that is all fake news, according to nicolas maduro. we have met people who say a box of antibiotics because a month's salary. translation: you can rest assured that the venezuelan social health system will reach them, rest assured that we have a medical system like no other country in the world. the president denied that 3 million venezuelans had been driven from their homeland by stratospheric prices, and seemed out of touch with hyperinflation. can you tell me how much a kilo of cheese costs here now in venezuela today? it depends on the region. because we have been told it is the equivalent of a month's wages, that that is what it is costing peoplejust to buy one kilo of cheese. we have different salary structures, but this topic is more relevant for a venezuelan audience.

i don't think it would interest your audience. this is how he likes to be seen these days, as commander—in—chief. he insists that if the us tries any kind of military intervention, his men will fight back. for now, maduro is demonising the enemy, claiming the us is in the grip of the kkk. do you really think the ku klux klan are ruling america? translation: 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. instead of sending aid trucks, mr maduro says washington should lift sanctions, and if the us and britain really want to help, they should unfreeze

venezuela's assets. for now, his troops are blocking the aid, and he is digging in for a war of attrition. jurors in the alesha macphail murder trial have heard that the child's father sold cannabis to the teenager accused of killing her. alesha, who was six, was found raped and murdered on the isle of bute lastjuly. the teenager, who cannot be named because of his age, denies the charge. alesha's father, robert macphail, has admitted doing deals with the 16—year—old boy. anyone who has a serious criminal conviction will be barred from getting a taxi license under plans being set out today. the government wants to introduce stricter background checks in england, and is even considering forcing cabs to have cctv to protect vulnerable passengers. although the proposed guidelines would apply only to england, they are also expected to be used in wales until the devolved welsh government sets its own statutory guidelines. the bbc has written

to the white house and the trump campaign asking for a review of security arrangements for the media at president trump's rallies. it comes after a bbc cameraman was assaulted at a rally in texas last night in which the president was trying to build support for his controversial border wall. earlier in the rally, mr trump had complained about supposed media bias against his administration. tonight, the white house condemned violence on members of the press. 0ur correspondent gary 0'donoghue was at the rally. it has become a constant refrain of donald trump's rallies. i heard the same thing from the fake news. it's fake news, it's fake. i'm telling you, it's just fake news. and by the way, there's also collusion between the democrats and the fake news right here. journalists are regularly shouted at and abused, but this time, one member of the crowd took matters into his own hands. ..have reached the lowest level

in the history of our country. he pushes the camera violently from behind, into my cameraman. usa! then, as he is restrained, he continues to yell abuse at the media. fortunately, my cameraman wasn't 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? when the bbc approached the trump campaign, they too declined to criticise the attacker. later, the white house press secretary said the president condemns all acts of violence against all groups, including members of the press. the bbc said security arrangements at the rally were clearly inadequate. 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're sometimes a little bit more riled up after a trump rally than they are before a trump rally, so there's no question that the president stirs the pot. 0ne regular target for hostility is the cable news network cnn. this was filmed by their correspondentjim acosta last year. stop lying! tell the truth! this was the president's first campaign rally of the new year, and next year's general election looks set to be as hostile for the media as the last one was. gary 0'donoghue, bbc news, el paso, texas. and we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, kate andrews and lance price. that is coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. now it is time for the weather,

with stav da naos. hello there. it has felt very spring like the last couple of days and it is set to continue, in fact, much of this week that temperatures will be above the seasonal norm, because we have a big area of high pressure over the near continent drawing in this mild airfrom the over the near continent drawing in this mild air from the south. whether funds will continue to plague the north and west of the country over the next few days, potentially bringing a little bit of light rain. but notice the orange colours sweeping up to our shores from iberia. it really will feel extremely mild over the next few days, and for many of us try as well. very warm where you get the sunshine. we continue with the cloud across many western areas tonight, thick enough to produce some outbreaks of light and patchy rain across western scotland. that is developing across the north of scotla nd developing across the north of scotland towards the end of the night. further south, and it is a largely dry one with clear spells. it will turn quite chilly and a few

places, maybe some extent fog forming as well. tomorrow will be a largely dry and bright start for much of england and wales, more cloud the further north and west that you are. a little bit of light rain will drizzle over some western hills. but the north—east of scotla nd hills. but the north—east of scotland doing pretty well, with silt doormat shelter from the south—westerly wind and sunshine. 0n monday across the board. now, the winds will be quite a feature as well. like i mentioned, across the north—west, quite gusty across the hebrides, whereas they will be lighter further south and east. hebrides, whereas they will be lighterfurther south and east. into wednesday night, skies were clear, widespread again across england and wales, and with lighter winds here it could turn quite chilly, maybe a touch of frost and places. mist and fog developing, a little less cold further north and west as we will have more cloud and will breeze. so as we had to wednesday into thursday, it looks like this area of high pressure will exert its force a little bit more across the country and keep his weatherfront little bit more across the country and keep his weather front at bay. what we will do is see some dry air moving in the near continent to many parts of the uk, and that should help melt away the cloud across

scotla nd help melt away the cloud across scotland and northern ireland. so it is looking like thursday could potentially be the sunniest day of the week, including the far north—west, as well as these weather front are kept out in the atlantic. the temperatures respond well, with lighter winds, more sunshine around and we could be looking at temperatures reaching 12 to maybe 14 celsius. and it stays very mild, with plenty of sunshine to end the week and into the weekend, with a few spots potentially touching 15 celsius.
