breezy for england and wales with growing amounts of sunshine. i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's wednesday, the 13th of february. our top story: the mexican drug lord joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, is facing life behind bars after being convicted in new york of trafficking huge amounts of cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the united states. named by the us as one of the most feared, powerful and dangerous men on the planet, el chapo rose through mexico's criminal ranks during the ‘70s and ‘80s. after a series of dramatic escapes, he was captured in 2017 and taken to america to face justice. our correspondent nada tawfik has this report. 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. 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 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. 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. with just 44 days to go until britain is due to leave the european union, businesses say they're being hung out to dry by the uncertainty of what a no—deal could mean for them. steph's here with more on this. steph? they have written a long list of questions they would like answered. yes, the british chamber of commerce, who represents 750,000 different businesses, and between them they employ something like 6 million people, so this is an organisation which has a fair amount

of power when it comes to what is being set among businesses. what they are worried about at the moment azhar lots of people is what will happen on 29 march? the clock is ticking now and they feel there are lots of questions that are still u na nswered lots of questions that are still unanswered and as you say they have a list of 20 questions which they think need answering. just to give you a flavour, what tariffs will my company need to pay? will i be able to fly people and goods between the eu and the uk and will there be new safety a nd eu and the uk and will there be new safety and security requirements? and they are saying at the moment none of these 20 questions have been a nswered none of these 20 questions have been answered by the government. however on the other hand the government has said they had been issuing advice to businesses about what will happen. so there is that big debate, businesses don't feel they are getting their questions answered by the government say they are giving out advice. where does that leave us? you are speaking to them later and speaking with the brexit secretary as well so hopefully we

will get some questions answered. we won't, will be? we will try, though. we will keep trying. thank you. downing street has refused to comment on a report that the uk's chief brexit negotiator was overheard revealing the prime minister's plans in a bar in brussels. 0lly robbins is reported to have said that mps will be given two options in march — to back the prime minister's revised withdrawal agreement or to face a lengthy delay to process, keeping us in the eu for longer. let's get more of a sense of exactly where we are with all things brexit this morning. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is at westminster for us. nick, lots of speculation about what the prime minister is going to do next? yes, and this was supposed to be the week where we maybe got a bit of clarity on that, maybe some answers to the questions steffe was talking about, but the prime minister basically said yesterday we are not there yet, we need some more time to

keep talking to the eu to try to get some changes that will get a deal through parliament, that means we are probably looking at the end of the month if not into next month before there is a final vote on whatever the prime minister comes back with, that is causing concern in westminster from different sides because some think it means the prospect of no deal is more likely. some think the pm is winding down the clock so it gets to a point where in march you have to either back her deal or end up with that no deal. and there are some on the brexit side who are worried about what we just mentioned from 0lly robbins, reportedly saying overnight that actually we might not leave on 29 march. thank you very much for that. speak to you later on. later we'll be speaking to the brexit secretary, stephen barclay. that's at 7:50am. social media companies should be made more responsible for cracking down on content that's fuelling knife crime, according to the home secretary. sajid javid says he wants measures to ensure technology firms clampdown on gang—related material, in the same way they have

targeted terrorist propaganda. newsbeat‘sjim connolly reports. more people are being killed in england and wales by knives now than at any england and wales by knives now than atany time england and wales by knives now than at any time since the second world war. rob was in a gang in east london but moved away to escape his violent past. he spent six years in prison and now goes around schools and colleges to try to stop others making the same mistake. and colleges to try to stop others making the same mistakelj and colleges to try to stop others making the same mistake. i started carrying a knife when i was 12. i started carrying a knife because eve ryo ne started carrying a knife because everyone was doing it at the time. i stabbed quite a lot of people. i have lost count. there were so many yea rs have lost count. there were so many years in the gang life. people remind me of people i stabbed i don't remember. the first person to be killed by night this year died on the street in the early hours of new year's day. knife crime is becoming a grim daily reality. down the road at kings college hospital the home

secretary has come to see where victims end up. one of the ways he wa nts to victims end up. one of the ways he wants to stop people getting to this point is by restricting content that incites violence, like some drill music, and genre of highly aggressive rap often linked with street violence. i think you can do a lot more to police harmful content on the internet because at the moment we don't have that legislation for it. i have the legislation for it. i have the legislation for it. i have the legislation for terrace content, for illegal child sexual abuse imagery but we don't have that legislation to date for that kind of content and we are changing their mind, our daughter is going out a lot more, just part of growing up, you want to go out with their friends and enjoy themselves, but i do worry and there are some nights i have actually stayed up, you know, quite late into the early hours of the morning just waiting to know that she is back home. life is looking brighter for robert but many people he grew up with are trapped in a gang lifestyle. back in my day ifi listened to drill music, i am... the

way i am listening to it, i am getting involved in crime. preventing getting involved is the new priority for the authorities. a ban on the use of young celebrities and sports stars in gambling adverts is to come into force to help protect children. the new rules, which cover social networks and other online platforms, will come into force in april. the advertising standards authority will be able to ban any adverts which fail to comply. the rapper professor green has cancelled his upcoming uk tour afterfracturing his neck. in an instagram post, he said he suffered a seizure which resulted in a fall. professor green, whose real name is stephen manderson, said he's lucky he did not break his neck, and will be back in the winter with a new tour. he isa he is a regular. yes, he is a regular on the breakfast programme. hopefully a quick recovery. yes. rare footage of one of the world's most trafficked and endangered animals, the giant pangolin, has been captured by scientists

from chester zoo. have a little look. little is known about the way the scaley creatures live in the wild, and they're being pushed to extinction by illegal hunting. these pictures were taken at a sanctuary in uganda, where the animals live alongside protected rhinos and are safe from poaching. and we are going to find out a little bit more about those animals later here on bbc breakfast because they are very special. there is some excellent footage of a pangolin wrapped up like a football and it p°p5 wrapped up like a football and it pops and its legs come out the bottom. incredible creatures. more on that later. good morning, sally. good morning. why are you laughing? look at the picture behind you, is david the de gea his carer?m look at the picture behind you, is david the de gea his carer? it looks like sadness. disappointment on ole gunnar solskjaer‘s face. like sadness. disappointment on ole gunnar solskjaer's face. just looking after him. it is all right,

david, we are going to be ok. they we re david, we are going to be ok. they were really disappointed last night. didn't go well for manchester united, first defeat under ole gunnar solskjaer with crucial late goals at old trafford. now united need something special to stay in the champions league. goodbye to the banks of england. after the great gordon banks dies aged 81, pele calls him a goalkeeper with magic and says they had a great friendship. horse racing's preparing to return after a six day break because of equine flu. but there are strict rules in place to stop the disease spreading. and after a caribbean tour of batting collapses and dropped catches, england's cricketers finally get it right in st lucia. a little bit late. they got there in the end. we have more on that,

haven't we? yes. all of the tributes to gordon banks in the papers and social media, one stood out to us. you might have seen this from lee marleau who once asked gordon from the leicester mercury for some advice for his young son, the aspiring goalkeeper called lucas, and it tells you all you need to know about the man that gordon banks was. have a little listened. hello, lucas. your dad told me that you want to be a goalkeeper. good lad. we always need good goalkeepers. here is some advice from me. first of all, you have to work hard. being a goalkeeper is not easy. but the more you play, the more you practise, the easier it gets. your eyes will get better at spotting the angles. you will begin to know where the ball will go. that is called anticipation. great goalies have good anticipation. and it is in the net. no, it isn't.

always know where you are in the goal. narrow the angles down. make it as hard as possible for the striker to score. what a save! as he was running in he must have thought it was like a barn door wide open at that part of the goal, you know. andy gray. you have to be brave coming out for crosses or died the feet of striker trying to pass you. and be brave if you lose or make a mistake. we all make them. i made some mistakes but i never let anyone see that i was upset. good luck, lucas. gordon banks. such a top bloke. , humble. bob wilson will be on. i once watched him at chesterfield. i hope he will tell the story when gordon banks was at chesterfield, he would watch him at one end, and then bore would walk around at the other end of the pitch

so he could watch him with his magic again —— bob. so he could watch him with his magic again -- bob. that is coming up later. it is coming up to 6:15am and what have you got for us? good morning. it is turning mild, you can see that on the air mass chart, indicating mild air, so over the next few days the yellow goes right across the uk. yesterday we hit 11! celsius in the giant's causeway, at the end of the week somewhere is likely to hit 15 celsius. what we have is quite a bit of cloud around northern ireland and scotland, and it is thick enough to produce rain or drizzle. quite a bit of cloud for england and wales at the moment. locally we have some mist and fog patches which will lift and then the cloud will start to break up and we will see increasing sunshine across southern england, the midlands, east anglia, wales,

northwards through the day. it will bea northwards through the day. it will be a breezy day but windy for the north—west scotland and the northern isles. temperatures iis north—west scotland and the northern isles. temperatures 11s and 12s more or less across the board but around murray first we could see 11! degrees. as we head on through the evening and overnight we still see quite a bit of cloud and a weather front coming in from the west will introduce some rain. under clear skies it will be a cooler nights across england and were than the night that has just gone. locally we could see some pockets of frost and we can be patchy mist and fog where we can be patchy mist and fog where we have the clear skies. that leaves us we have the clear skies. that leaves us nicely into tomorrow. high pressure is anchored over the near continent. all of the wind is coming up continent. all of the wind is coming up from the south, the azores, that isa mild up from the south, the azores, that is a mild direction for us. high—pressure keeping the weather fronts at bay to the north and the west. this is where we have cloud and splashes of rain. for many of us

tomorrow it will be a sunny day, lengthy sunny spells, variable cloud at times for scotland and northern ireland and temperatures widely again 11—13 but we could hit 14, possibly 15 around murray first. now talking of such things, thursday into friday, look how the high—pressure edges further away —— moray firth. it will be a windy day, we keep the weather fronts at bay in the atlantic in the north and west, some making a wee bit more progress in land across western scotland and eventually the west of northern ireland with some rain. but a lot of sunshine and temperatures, well, 10-13, but sunshine and temperatures, well, 10—13, but around cheshire for example, parts of east wales, down towards london, we could hit 14, maybe 15 degrees, the average of this time of year top to bottom is 6-9. this time of year top to bottom is 6—9. now that weather is quite different from what we've seen in michigan. this picture is a ghost apple sent in by andrew from michigan and if you're wondering

what it is, well, you need freezing rain first of all to have a ghost apple, the rain freezes on impact on the object, in this case an apple, and what happens is when the apple gets two —5, well, all of the contents gets two —5, well, all of the co nte nts of gets two —5, well, all of the contents of the apple drop out the bottom and as the temperatures rises at —2, freezing point for an apple, it is lower than water, well it all disappears and you are left with this shell which is the shape of the apple it once was and it is com pletely apple it once was and it is completely ice, just an interesting fa ct completely ice, just an interesting fact for you this morning. honestly, that is the best fact of the day, carol. i love it. the steve wright show on radio two. we might wa nt to wright show on radio two. we might want to see that again.|j wright show on radio two. we might want to see that again. i feel like i know about the freezing point is that now. it was wonderful. can i test you wanted ? that now. it was wonderful. can i test you wanted? minus two degrees.

this take you through the front pages. "secret brexit plot explosed in hotel bar" is the headline in today's express. it gives details of those comments by the uk's chief negotiator, olly robbins, which were overheard by a journalist in brussels. the telegraph claims that the governor of the bank of england has swapped "fear for hope", by saying brexit could kickstart a golden era of trade. it also has picture of the duchess of sussex, after her friend george clooney claimed she was being chased by the press. the times says the head of mi6 is expected to stay in post beyond his retirement date, to guide the intelligence service through brexit. it also has this wonderful picture of the legendary goalkeeper gordon banks, following his death at 81. and the daily mirror also leads on gordon banks — "the hero who could fly" is the headline. what have you got? i have been struck by the picture of the ocado

warehouse. they had a huge fire at one of their facilities in andover. 300 firefighters called to tackle the blaze. you can see her, the remains are like a giant automated facility which is a modern hi—tech pa rt facility which is a modern hi—tech part of the business. this fire is obviously responsible for destroying all that. the company saw their shares go up yesterday after rumours that could be a takeover target. it is in quite a lot of the business pages. nissan putting out a profit warning because like a lot of companies across the world, they are worried about demand at the moment and on top of that, they've got everything going on with the fallout there. the long—time boss carlos ghosn's arrest. this doesn't —— this other story. would you pay 315 quid

for parent distressed trainers? gucci are selling a pair of distressed trainers. they'll are welcome to send them to me, i can distressed them very much. they look vintage. £615? we used to have ice white trainers so we used to scuff them up on the way to work.|j white trainers so we used to scuff them up on the way to work. i want to talk about sportsmanship. we are talking about gordon banks but in the daily telegraph, this is really nice. the front page of the sports section has this. the greatest. that isa section has this. the greatest. that is a really nice, simple way of describing a man who was not just the greatest goalkeeper for england but also a really decent sportsmen. he talks about the famous, the famous safety made against pele in 1970, saying he thought he hadn't saved it. lots of kids watching this

today or hearing about it for the first time would probably hear what sort of person he was. ijust want also share with you this from inside the telegraph. the bottom of the page, joe root, taking a stand against homophobia, a comment made during play yesterday when he said, that's not a insult. there is nothing wrong with being gay. we have to really quite inspirational figures to talk about today. quite a lot of impact that had, what he said. 17 rare african of prey from eggs seized from a laugh —— a wildlife smuggler. the man was caught with 19 fertile eggs worth around £100,000 in all of them ba rwon have around £100,000 in all of them barwon have been successfully hatched. the headline that gawn is... alli hatched. the headline that gawn is... all i can think of is but he

smugglers. that is an excellent headline. —— but he smugglers. now —— but he smuggler. headline. —— but he smugglers. now -- but he smuggler. the headline is, britain's got talons. you know this is? carers keeping track of him when he slinks off duty. he's got a little collar on him. i didn't want to say that. i think you are right. a very good point. he is doing an extremely good job. it's like the plot of a hollywood blockbuster. a mexican drug lord, his billion—dollar empire and years on the run after tunnelling his way out of prison — twice. but yesterday, joaquin guzman,

known as ‘el chapo', was finally found guilty of all ten counts of drugs trafficking at a court in new york. let's speak to the author douglas century, who's spent years documenting el chapo's life. this is the final chapter? there have been so next audrey things this man has done in his life. very horrific charges. it's been a very interesting life to follow the u. blockbuster trial. he will spend the rest of his days in a maximum security prison. a lot of people have been asking me, will he escaped from an american prison? they are not going to put him in a basement floor. it really was a blockbuster trial. his mistress testifying against him. very horrific charges. it is an epic day for

law—enforcement. it is an epic day for law-enforcement. tells a bit about what he has done over his long career in drug trafficking. the logy career in drug trafficking. the mythology of him so captivating in an impoverished country like mexico, from the age of eight years old, he was selling oranges and then became a marijuana trafficker and becoming a marijuana trafficker and becoming a forbes billionaire. the united states government asked for $14 billion. that is not liquid in anybody‘s mind but he really pioneered, he was a dark, criminal genius, pioneering these narco tunnels and narco submarines. we won't see his like again. there was pablo escobar who died in a hail of gunfire and el chapo, people hashtag on instagram el chapo, i don't think there will ever be another one of this stature, certainly not brought to justice this stature, certainly not brought tojustice in this stature, certainly not brought to justice in the this stature, certainly not brought tojustice in the united states. this stature, certainly not brought

to justice in the united states. and he was brutal as well, wasn't it? absolutely. one thing that shocked people of the trial, not me, was the hands—on violence, very gruesome accou nts hands—on violence, very gruesome a ccou nts of hands—on violence, very gruesome accounts of people being buried alive. it was barred from being shown to the jury. allegations which are also in the book, rates of 13—year—old girls. this is a very unsavoury person. he was a brilliant business mind in that drug war but he had to be very ruthless anti— stands accused of some horrific crimes. and now convicted on them. now he has been sentenced, what is the impact on the drug trade? make any difference? none, zero. i hate to be cynical but people are ready stepped into the breach. as long as there are in it ——as there is an appetite for cocaine. whether it is

wall street people, the consumers. the people who consume cocaine made el chapo a billionaire and the snaloa cartel —— sinaloa cartel will still be the most powerful. there is now the upcoming jalisco cartel. there will be drugs for people willing to use it. in a very poor country like mexico, you are seeing people who are willing to kill to get to the top and it will continue, iam sad get to the top and it will continue, i am sad to say. we don't know what the sentence is but el chapo will be sentenced in june. the sentence is but el chapo will be sentenced injune. quite a character. really murky past and terrible things he's done. we will talk later about how many people in mexico actually looked up to him and interestingly, when he was injail last year, mexico's highest murder rate in some time, 33,000 people.

there is an argument to say, he did some terrible things. the murder rate was lower. time to get the news, travel, and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. there are calls for football authorities to do more to protect players from head injuries from the former england and tottenham midfielder, ryan mason. he's now coaching at spurs— a year on since he was forced to retire at the age ofjust 26, due to a fractured skull. ultimately, the specialists that i've seen and spoke to, if you do get why, head, and there is a small sort of concussion, then you go and get another whack on the head within minutes, then that's when the damage can be done and i think that is potentially something that we can

protect players a lot more on. councillors in croydon have suggested that construction of the new westfield shopping centre in south london could be delayed. the £1.4 billion pound development on the site of the existing whitgift centre was given the green light in 2017. the plans include three hundred shops and nearly 1,000 new homes. the development‘s french owners say they're "committed to investing in croydon". one of the capital's most famous green spaces has seen a sharp increase in the number of tree moths, which can cause allergic reactions. the city of london corporation, which looks after hampstead heath, says it could end up costing £250,000 a year to prevent the spread of oak precessionary moth caterpillars. it says just 15 nests were spotted in 2015, but that rose to more than 2,000 last year. travel now. the tube seems to be off to a good start this morning. no reported problems so far on any of those lines. however, there are no southeastern trains between lewisham and dartford — instead there's a replacement bus. it's because of a landslip and the line will be closed until the weekend.

onto the roads then and this is how it looks in vauxhall. there are restrictions on nine elms lane for gas works. in highbury, saint paul's road is closed from highbury grove to cannonbury park north, a burst water main's being fixed. good morning. it is not feeling quite as cold as it did this time yesterday morning in by the end of the day, it could feel positively springlike. now got the cloud this morning and that helped keep the temperature a little milder overnight but once it clears, we will see blue skies, sunshine and the temperatures through the afternoon feeling really quite pleasant. now the cloud is not going to last long, dry our feeding pleasant. now the cloud is not going to last long, dry ourfeeding in from the continent, assisted by a southerly south—westerly breeze and blue sky and sunshine this

afternoon, temperatures reaching 12 severely really quite pleasant to the sunshine. overnight, though, very little cloud server to which will drop. quite a chilly night actually. the minimum down towards zero especially out towards the suburbs or beyond secrets you sparkle to a frost tomorrow morning and may even see a have mist and fog but tomorrow, more of the same, blue skies and sunshine and mild temperatures of 13 and another glorious day to friday, not much sunshine but somewhere in london, we could see temperatures reaching about 15 celsius. so that‘s it for now— i'll be back in around half an hour till then you can check out our website at the usual address, but now back to dan and louise. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it is 6:30am. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning: could social media companies do more to stop the spread of knife crime? we'll speak to a former gang member about putting down his blade and getting others to do the same. he's one of the world's most notorious criminals, el chapo is found guilty

in the united states. we'll get the inside story of a life of drugs, guns and prison breaks, and saving the nation's treasure. we'll find out about plans to change the law on historical finds to stop priceless gems being lost forever. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the mexican drug lord joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, is facing life behind bars after being convicted in new york of trafficking huge amounts of drugs into the united states. named by the us as one of the most powerful and dangerous men on the planet, el chapo rose through mexico's cartels during the ‘70s and ‘80s. after years on the run, he was captured in 2017 and taken to america to face justice. with 44 days to go until britain is due to leave the european union, businesses are demanding answers on what a no—deal brexit could mean for them. the british chambers of commerce, which represents hundreds of thousands of companies, says 20 key questions remain unresolved.

they include how to move skilled staff between the uk and eu, which rules to follow and what trade deals will be in place. the government said it was focused on getting approval for its brexit deal. downing street has refused to comment on a report that the uk's chief brexit negotiator was overheard revealing the prime minister's plans in a bar in brussels. olly robbins is reported to have said that mps will be given two options in march, to back the prime minister's revised withdrawal agreement, or to face a lengthy delay to the process, keeping us in the eu for longer. social media companies should be made more responsible for cracking down on content that's fuelling knife crime, according to the home secretary. sajid javid says he wants measures to ensure technology firms clampdown on gang—related material, in the same way they have targeted terrorist propaganda. he has been speaking withjim

connolly. iam i am responsible for other types of illegal content on the internet, terrorist videos, extremism videos, child sexual exploitation videos. this is a legal content. at the moment we don't have that legislation for it. i have the legislation for terrorist content, for illegal child sexual abuse imagery, but we don't have that legislation today for that kind of content. we are changing that. the biggest tech giants need to do more. my message is we are going to legislate and how far we go depends on what you decide to do now. a ban on the use of young celebrities and sports stars in gambling adverts is to come into force to help protect children. the new rules, which cover social networks and other online platforms, will come into force in april. the advertising standards authority will be able to ban any adverts which fail to comply.

a man has admitted affray after going into a pub with a power saw and terrifying customers. you can see he ran into the bull's head in greater manchester in the early hours of saturday morning. my goodness. he will be sentenced at manchester crown court next month. that would freak you out a bit, wouldn't you ? imagine walking into a supposedly empty house and finding this. this huge tiger was found by two people when they entered a vacant property in houston, texas. is it that tiger? i think it was that tiger. 0k. animal control officers managed to cage the female tiger before she was taken to a sanctuary, where she is said to be doing well. the police are investigating who owns the house and how the tiger got there. excuse me, mrs tiger, how did you get there? how did you have a tiger in your house? the tiger who came to

tea. exactly. i do in your house? the tiger who came to tea. exactly. ido know in your house? the tiger who came to tea. exactly. i do know that tiger who came to tea. that is one that i do know. the number of people who came up to me yesterday to set they love flight of the navigator. louise has never seen it. i will. you need to get with it. only on the film references. 6:35am. shall i take over now? yes, what's happening? trying to think of the tiger references, the toothless tiger manchester united didn't have their claws... it didn't work? my pun? manchester. it was a night to forget for manchester united. they lost the first leg of their champions league match 2—0 at home to paris st germain. it's their first defeat under caretaker manager ole gunnar solskjaer. in this competition away goals can be crucial and the french champions scored two of them.

presnel kimpembe with the first, and then kylian mbappe with what might be a crucial second. to make things worse, paul pogba got sent off late on. this is a level up from what we have played against with the runs we have had. we had a great run. we came into this game in a great frame of mind, greatform. into this game in a great frame of mind, great form. but of course it was a big step up. they have quality from the keeper until the striker and there is a reason behind them being one of the favourites for the champions league. he was a goalkeeper with magic, they were the words of pele paying tribute to england's world cup winning keeper gordon banks who has died aged 81. banks was a member of the famous team of 1966 but is forever remembered for this save from pele's header four years later. the brazilian legend called it the best he'd ever seen. gordon banks said he wasn't sure he

had even saved it. and the kind words have come in from around the football world. current england keeper jordan pickford saluted his save and called banks a true legend. the german national team's twitter account said he was a fierce opponent and a good man. and the fa chairman greg clarke said he was an england great and one of the world's best goalkeepers. the save against pele was obviously something people remember. i would put it down to his hard work in training. you know, trying for every shot and not giving up. and that paid off in that one moment which, you know, probably made gordon's career. you know, it was on the world cup stage and it is one that will be remembered forever. and we will be remembering him throughout the morning, we are speaking with bob watson this morning. it's taken three matches, batting collapses and lots of soul searching but england have finally won a test in west indies. the series had already gone but england dominated in st lucia. as everjimmy anderson got things going with some help from moeen ali and ben stokes finished it off with more than a day to go leaving west indian roston

chase not out on 102. meanwhile the west indies bowler shannon gabriel has been charged with personal abuse of a player by the cricket authorities. it's after an incident which led to the england captainjoe root telling gabriel he shouldn't use being gay as an insult. it's not known what gabriel said but root was recorded on the stump mic telling gabriel that there was nothing wrong with being gay. i think thatjust, one, sums up how far sport has moved, but, two, i think for him he showed real characteristics of leadership, being a role model in that scenario to really can't stand up for what he believes in. so we don't know what gabriel said but i think from joe roofs gabriel said but i think from joe root‘s perspective he has really shown a positive light. bad news if you're a fan of the england rugby union team. prop mako vunipola is going to miss the rest of the six nations. he's been in great form but suffered ligament damage during the win over france on sunday. vunipola will be out for ten weeks, which you can probably tell from the amount of ice they used on him.

better news for wales fans though, full back leigh halfpenny has been out since being flattened against australia in november. he's now recovered from concussion and will be fit to play their next match against england. now, later today borussia dortmund's jadon sancho returns to his home city of london to play tottenham at wembley in the champions league. but his trip didn't start well. shall we have a look at him? here's jadon on arriving in london, but what that tweet doesn't tell you is that he arrived at the airport in germany without his passport. ever done that? arrive without your passport? 0h, ever done that? arrive without your passport? oh, well, exactly. the dortmund plane was delayed while he got it, but all seems to be forgiven now. ididn't i didn't notice, you know, it is not a big city, dortmund is not london, so it doesn't take much time to get a passport. we had a 70 minute delay i think, which was ok for us. it

might cost a little bit of money, but i think 90% of the guys didn't notice. how did that happen? footballers tend to have their passports taken for them. like you don't carry money. it is like a school trip. i believe don't carry money. it is like a schooltrip. i believe on don't carry money. it is like a school trip. i believe on this programme before... in his own words, we are not very responsible, footballers. he once turned up with his wife's passport. laughter. was he able to get on the plane? could he able to get on the plane? could he almost get away with that? not quite. good news. horse racing gets back underway today. it had been suspended for six days after an outbreak of equine flu. today's meetings will take place under strict controls, in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. let'sjoin lucy vladev at plumpton racecourse in east sussex. this must come as a relief to the team there? yes, this has not only affected an entire school, but also an entire

rural economy, places here like humpton rely on races here. this all began six days ago when a 100 places we re began six days ago when a 100 places were put in lockdown because of equine flu found in cheshire. they carried out thousands of test in the uk and found a few other cases. on monday it was announced racing could get back under way and two people who will be very relieved with that is dan, in charge of the courts in plumpton, and mark, in charge of the courts. what are the last six days been like? well, it is the uncertainty that causes the problems. there are a lot of people we have to say yes or no to on whether they are turning up. with the weather and racing through the winter, we have loads of fixtures. with the best from the east last year we had a lot of uncertainty. we

are not in control and we don't know what is coming but i am glad to be back on that is for sure. this racecourse has a very family feel to it, so it is having an impact locally as well stop of course. there is a shop in the village which has raced a trade and over 100 people come in locally to us who will work on the course, stewarding, ticketing, that we need for the race day to go ahead. it has a big affect notjust on us, but day to go ahead. it has a big affect not just on us, but obviously locally for people working as well. and mark, you have had to take extra safety measures here today. yes, we have done a deep clean of our stables which coincidentally fell into the mid—season clean. having lost la st into the mid—season clean. having lost last year's raced due to the whether they have had a thorough clean and disinfectant spray, fog, mist, we have hand sanitiser for staff use, entering and leaving this

yard, but the bha have put in place measures which include every horse which can run for the next few days that i am aware of has to show that they have had a booster in the last six months, and also today they need to bring with them for each horse a declaration of health form filled m, declaration of health form filled in, science and presented to my sta ble in, science and presented to my stable office before they actually unbox the horses. so a lot of security measures and this is one of four places across the uk holding races today. no difference for the punters if you're coming along, but there will be a lot of people here today checking everything goes smoothly. thank you very much indeed for that update live from plumpton and that beautiful sky means it looks like it will be able do is day. thank you very much for that. more people are being stabbed to death than at any time since the second world war. police say some of the violence is being fuelled online. now, the home secretary has called for new laws to make social media companies more responsible.

he's been speaking tojim connolly from radio 1's newsbeat. i think you can do a lot more to police harmful content on the internet. in the home office i am also responsible for other types of illegal content on the internet, terrorist videos, extremism videos, child sexual exploitation videos. these are all illegal content. everywhere in the world it is illegal. at the moment we don't have the legislation for it. i have the legislation for terrace content, child sexual abuse imagery but we don't have the legislation for that content and we are changing that. the tech giants need to do more. —— terrorist. my message is we are going to legislate and how far we go depends on what you decide to do now. so it is over to them to take action otherwise we are going to ta ke action otherwise we are going to take it for them. that is the home secretary. we'rejoined now by sephton henry, a former offender who know helps tackle gang culture. gives a bit of an idea of your

involvement with knife crime. what have you seen? so i was groomed to sell drugs at the age of eight. all the boys came to me and they said, here, take this and give it to the quy here, take this and give it to the guy down the road. one guy started overdosing, foam was coming from its mouth. that and i realised i'm in a situation that i don't want to be in. once you're in that situation, how difficult was it to get out? what kind of interactive have. i slept on kitchen floors. all the boys will come. i got stabbed my lip

in my ear. knife culture, it was like you have your rucksack, you have your bag of weegar whatever. they didn't feel protected. everyone fears in the streets so they carry knives. you can still see the scars, you had a lucky escape. but the home secretary talking, particularly today can you speak about challenging on line companies, particularly about the music. targeting that and getting social media companies to kind of remove that kind of content. is that helpful in your view?|j

that kind of content. is that helpful in your view? i think it will make some sort of impact because music can drive people to do things. drill music and other music is not the be all and end all the problem. the problem is root cause. it is going on inside the young person. what they are doing is expressing how they feel on the streets and sometimes, it's like a warning not to come to my estate but behind the scenes, they are scared say it they are doing a warning to make people not come and attack them. people are threatening people and not wanting to do harm. i know you said you ran away but was there somebody had words of wisdom? was an example you follow? for me, it was a mental, my mental smoke to me about ways of leading the culture. it's a culture, but that's what do now.

i've now started my own company. unity together we are stronger. orbit housing, they will work with us orbit housing, they will work with us to draw young people onto that referral programme. do you think thatis referral programme. do you think that is what needs to happen? we talk a lot about role models in what is going on in the streets at the moment. the figures are horrifying. it are people like you who know this culture. can you make the difference? 72% of culture. can you make the difference? 7296 of inmates have absent fathers. what we come into is the role of a father figure. it's not so much that the person has to be in not so much that the person has to beina not so much that the person has to be in a gang but theyjust had to be from the generation and the generational gap. when you are from the generation, you communicate with that person. i know we are short of time but i'm seeing that you've turned things

around in your life. when you see some of the horrific incidents that happen, you feel, having seen the turnaround, he think there is an ability to change that knife culture ? ability to change that knife culture? yes, definitely. there needs to be some funding that does a difference. i've been to prison many times. i seem of the young people need and don't need. if they are somehow going to put funding into developing projects, and i'm sure we could really make a difference. lovely to speak to you today. thank you so much becoming. thank you for the work you are doing. there is a new programme talking about boyz ii

men, young people moving into adulthood. as usual, you can get through to us. you can find us on social media as well. this morning, carol has stunned us with a ghost apple. this morning, it's quite a mild start across many parts of the uk. the mild theme is set to continue. it represents the mild air. it's going to stream right the way across our shores. yesterday, giant's causeway in northern ireland reached 14 celsius and by the end of this week, some places in the uk will have its 15. quite a lot of cloud around this morning. particularly across scotland and northern ireland. we will see some of the cloud. patchy mist and fog. that will lift and what you will find is the sun will come out and

increasingly so across england and wales. meanwhile, we still have some splashes of rain across parts of scotland, particularly the north and west. that woollies but we will see drizzle coming out. breezy as you can see from these circles that tells you the kind of wind speed you can expect. it will be windy today across north—west scotland and the northern isles. temperatures today widely, 11, 12. 13 northern isles. temperatures today widely,11,12.13 or 14 around northern isles. temperatures today widely, 11, 12. 13 or 14 around the moray firth. through this evening and overnight, once again, we have another weather front coming in from the west, introducing thicker cloud and some rain. quite a bit of cloud around that when it remains broken under the clear skies, temperatures will fall and it will be a cold night on the one that has just gone. there's a chance in southern england and wales of a local frostjust here there in the same with some patchy mist and fog forming. as we head through the course of thursday, high pressure is anchored across the near continent. there are still pulling

in the southerly wind. all that means is a lot of dry and settled conditions. any mist and fog or clear. we will see sunshine come out across england and wales. the rain being kept at bay across the northern isles. temperatures tomorrow, 11, 13. we should see 14 or possibly 15. friday, a very similar story. we hang on to these mild conditions. a long time since we've seen is temperatures and more later on the ghost apple, we will have to wait. a group of businesses is demanding brexit answers from the government this morning. steph has the details. that's right. we're talking about the british chambers of commerce — its a group which represents 750,000 businesses of all sizes

which together employ about 6 million people. they say firms risk being hung out to dry unless they get answers to some big questions. claire walker is from the british chambers of commerce and joins us from our london newsroom. thanks arejoining thanks are joining us. thanks arejoining us. what thanks are joining us. what are the main concerns of businesses? what are the questions? businesses have no appetite for disorderly and messy brexit on 29 march but we feel they are facing a double blow because evenin are facing a double blow because even in that scenario, a difficult deal scenario, many questions remain u na nswered deal scenario, many questions remain unanswered from government about what this would mean that their business. we've been seeing this now for about two years. what have business has been doing to plan? absolutely. its 2.5 years since the referendum result. the government should have been planning this scenario right from the off. what we see from business now is that many

of them are planning. they are doing that with patchy information as we've highlighted today. or when they haven't been able to plan, that's because the information isn't there. understandably, we are waiting for a deal that is yet to come. tel is a bit about this planning. the questions we've highlighted today are the 20 questions that remain unanswered. what happens if we need to transport goods across borders. do i need to pay additional tariffs? the post these questions to government. with 44 days to go, we are still facing 20 unanswered questions. the government have said they have been issuing advice to businesses. absolutely. we've been working hard with them but these questions remain. many of the technical guidance where the answers are 90— 100 pages long and businesses that they do not have the time to go

through all those documentations to try and find the answers they need. more answers are needed but also a better way of communicating to them. what is the impact of these not being answered ? what is the impact of these not being answered? businesses have got a double blow. the deal hasn't been concluded. the worst—case scenario. many of them are making decisions that are not write their business. they are not making decisions that are the best thing to the uk economy. that's really challenging. lots of people asking those questions but very specific one. how will my lead times be impacted by new customs procedures? had expect the government to answer that? they should be issuing guidance on this. there are really important things that haven't been issued. so that businesses can plan. most of those

businesses can plan. most of those businesses that sound technical, that's a situation of something being stuck in a border or not being able to move. that really makes an impact to businesses that are trying to move things quickly and effectively. thank you very much fewer time this morning. the business association which represents 750,000 businesses and they are very concerned. but the ghost apple is, we've got pangolins and all the headlines coming up. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonia jessup. there are calls for football authorities to do more to protect players from head injuries from the former england and tottenham midfielder, ryan mason. he's now coaching at spurs, a year on since he was forced to retire at the age ofjust 26, due to a fractured skull. ultimately, the specialists that i've seen and spoke to,

if you do get a whack on the head, and there is a small sort of concussion, then you go and get another whack on the head within minutes, then that's when the damage can be done and i think that is potentially something that we can protect players a lot more on. councillors in croydon have suggested that construction of the new westfield shopping centre in south london could be delayed. the £1.4 billion pound development on the site of the existing whitgift centre was given the green light in 2017. the plans include three hundred shops and nearly 1,000 new homes. the development‘s french owners say they're "committed to investing in croydon". one of the capital's most famous green spaces has seen a sharp increase in the number of tree moths, which can cause allergic reactions. the city of london corporation,

which looks after hampstead heath, says it could end up costing £250,000 a year to prevent the spread of oak precessionary moth caterpillars. it says just 15 nests were spotted in 2015, but that rose to more than 2,000 last year. the tube seems to be off to a good start this morning. no problems so far on any of those lines. there are no southeastern trains between lewisham and dartford. there's a replacement bus. a landslip sees the line closed until the weekend. onto the roads then and this is how it looks in vauxhall there are restrictions on nine elms lane for gas works. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it is not feeling quite as cold as it did this time yesterday morning and by the end of the day, it could feel positively springlike. now, we've got a bit of cloud this morning and that helped keep the temperature

a little milder overnight but once it clears, we will see blue skies, sunshine and the temperature through the afternoon feeling really quite pleasant. now, the cloud is not going to last for long, some drier airfeeding in from the continent, assisted by a southerly south—westerly breeze and then blue sky and sunshine this afternoon, temperatures reaching 12 celsius, so feeling really quite pleasant in the sunshine. overnight, though, we still have very little cloud so the temperature will drop. it will be quite a chilly night, actually. the minimum down towards zero, especially out towards the suburbs or beyond, so you could see a sparkle or two of frost tomorrow morning and you may also see a little bit of mist and fog but tomorrow, more of the same, blue skies and sunshine and mild temperatures of 13 celsius. another glorious day for friday, not much sunshine but somewhere in london, we could see temperatures reaching about 15 celsius. so that's it for now. i'll be back in around half an hour till then you can check out our website at the usual address. or tune into bbc radio london. good morning, welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today:

the mexican drug lord, el chapo, faces life in a maximum security jail after being found guilty in new york. we'll look at how he became the world's wealthiest trafficker and managed to escape justice for so long. the home secretary tells the bbc that new laws are needed to stop knife crime being fuelled by social media. a big brexit warning from british business. one leading group says firms are in danger of being "hung out to dry" because of the uncertainty surrounding a possible no—deal. in the champions league, manchester united are going to need a french revolution in paris. a 2—0 win for paris saint—germain makes solskjaer and co les miserables at old trafford. good morning. for england and wales todayit good morning. for england and wales today it is a chilly start for some with some patchy mist and fog, that will lift and we will see increasing amounts of sunshine. for northern ireland and scotland a bit more cloud for you with rain or drizzle.

in the north—east we should also see some sunshine but it will be breezy. i'll have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's wednesday, 13th february. the mexican drug lord, joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, is facing life behind bars after being convicted in new york of trafficking huge amounts of cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the united states. named by the us as one of the most feared, powerful and dangerous men on the planet, el chapo rose through mexico's criminal ranks during the ‘70s and ‘80s. after a series of dramatic escapes he was captured in 2017 and taken to america to face justice. our correspondent nada tawfik has this report. 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. 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 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. 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. incredible story. more on that a little bit later in the programme for you as well. with just 44 days to go until britain is due to leave the european union, businesses say they're being hung out to dry by the uncertainty of what a no—deal could mean for them. it is something we talk about a lot, the business reaction to possible no deal. steph's here with more on this. steph? the british chamber of commerce this morning came out with a strong statement about the fact that they still feel business is being let down by the government and what's going to happen. they are important, they represent 750,000 businesses

and in total employee around 6 million people so they are talking to their members constantly about what is going on and they are saying for them there are 20 questions which haven't been answered which are which haven't been answered which a re key which haven't been answered which are key to those businesses. and it is things to do with what tariffs will my company need to pay? will still be able to fly people and all goods and services between the eu and the uk? will there be new safety requirements and regulations? all of these questions which they put together they feel are not being a nswered together they feel are not being answered and they say impact of that is costs, unnecessary costs for business at the moment, where they are trying to work out what they are going to do, also putting investment on hold. it is things we have talked about before, you know, it is nothing new, it is more with the urgency with the fact we are coming up urgency with the fact we are coming up to 29 march, they are saying what on earth is going to happen? on the other hand you have the government saying we have issued advice to businesses on what could happen with

the no—deal brexit. the british chamber of commerce has said it is not good enough, not the information they need for businesses to do the business properly and not have loads of costs added to it. thank you very much, that is interesting, and we will speak with the secretary of state stephen barclay in about 40 minutes' time. yeah. downing street has refused to comment on a report that the uk's chief brexit negotiator was overheard revealing the prime minister's plans in a bar in brussels. olly robbins is reported to have said that mps will be given two options in march, to back the prime minister's revised withdrawal agreement, or to face a lengthy delay to the process, keeping us in the eu for longer. our political correspondent nick eardley is at westminster for us. what more do we know about these comments? it is not the first controversial comment made in a bar i don't think in brussels but this could be quite important. firstly because it is likely to cause a row. some brexiteers won't be happy. they don't like olly robbins and they are

not happy he is reportedly making these comments. but, secondly, because what it suggests. so according to those who overheard the conversation, olly robbins said that probably next month mps will face two options, a reworked version of the pm's deal that they have been discussing for months now, or potentially quite a significant delay of brexit day, kicking the candour bit further down the road. that suggests that the no—deal brexit that steph was just talking about, that businesses have concerns over, isn't something that he thinks is likely, and that could potentially have an effect on the prime minister's strategy because what she is trying to say to mps is, back my deal or you risk no deal. 0k, back my deal or you risk no deal. ok, well, nick, thank you very much indeed. social media companies should be made more responsible for cracking down on content that's fuelling knife crime, according to the home secretary. sajid javid says he wants measures to ensure technology firms clampdown on gang—related material, in the same way they have targeted terrorist propaganda. newsbeat‘sjim connolly reports.

more people are being killed in england and wales by knives now than at any time since the second world war. rob was in a gang in east london but moved away to escape his violent past. he spent six years in prison and now goes around schools and colleges to try to stop others making the same mistake. i started carrying a knife when i was 12. i started carrying a knife because everyone was doing it at the time. i've stabbed quite a lot of people. if i was to say, count, i have lost count. there were so many years in the gang life. people remind me of people i stabbed i don't remember. the first person to be killed by knife this year died on this street in the early hours of new year's day. knife crime is becoming a grim daily reality. just down the road at kings college hospital, the home secretary has come to see where victims end up. one of the ways he wants to stop people getting to this point is by restricting content that incites violence, like some drill music,

a genre of highly aggressive rap often linked to street violence. i actually think you can do a lot more to police harmful content on the internet, because at the moment we don't legislation for it. i have the legislation for terrorist content, for illegal child sexual abuse imagery, but we don't have that legislation today for that kind of content. and we're changing that. my daughter, our eldest daughter is going out a lot more, just part of growing up, you want them to go out with their friends and enjoy themselves, but i do worry and there are some nights i have actually stayed up, you know, quite late into the early hours of the morning just waiting to know that she is back home. life's looking brighter for robert, but many people he grew up with are trapped in a gang lifestyle. back in my day, if i listened to drill music, i'm riding out 24/7. the way i am listening to it, the way it is now, i am getting involved in crime.

preventing getting involved is the new priority for the authorities. that is something we have been looking at this morning, let us know what you think about that. a ban on the use of young celebrities and sports stars in gambling adverts is to come into force to help protect children. the new rules, which cover social networks and other online platforms, will come into force in april. the advertising standards authority will be able to ban any adverts which fail to comply. a man has admitted affray after bursting into a pub revving a power saw and threatening terrified customers. this is the footage you can see here. andrew dicken ran in to the bulls heads in sale in greater manchester in the early hours of saturday morning. he'll be sentenced at manchester crown court next month. that would not be a good saturday night, would it? the rapper professor green has cancelled his upcoming uk tour afterfracturing his neck. in an instagram post, he said he suffered a seizure which resulted in a fall. professor green, whose real name is stephen manderson,

said he's lucky he did not break his neck, and will be back in the winter with a new tour. the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall made an official visit to liverpool yesterday, with camilla getting a picture at one of the most "instagram—able" spots in the city. camilla stood in front of the famous mural, called "for all liverpool's liver birds", and spoke to its creator, paul curtis. the royal couple also paid a visit to the royal albert dock. 7:11am, so let's take you back to the main story. it's a story that's captivated people across the world. one of mexico's richest and most dangerous drug lords, finally captured and found guilty at a court in the united states. joaquin guzman, known as el chapo, led a brutal cartel. he'd escaped prison not once, but twice before, becoming one of the world's most wanted men. it is an incredible story.

let's speak now to the journalist ioan grillo, who has spent nearly 20 years reporting on el chapo's crimes. good morning to you, thank you so much for coming on bbc breakfast and telling us about this. give us an idea. as we mentioned, you have looked at this story and study the drug trade in mexico extensively. how is el chapo perceived? so there isa how is el chapo perceived? so there is a lot of mixed feelings and i have been to the mountains where he is from, i have spoken to his mother, his family members and people who live there and he seems a robin hood figure. people will say he gives to the poor, he builds roads, he buys medicines and these kinds of things. you talk to some other people and they say this is... these drug traffickers and el chapo are like demons, they cause so much bloodshed. i have covered this for 18 years, i have seen many things i couldn't imagine. i have been in

places in morgues where there are 49 bodies decapitated with hands and feet cut off and when you see that kind of brutality it is very crazy. when i went to the trial and saw el chapo personally from a few feet away the first time i had seen him in the flesh, it was quite a weird experience. you have seen some of who is a legend, who has also caused so much suffering. that is the thing, you read about the brutal murders, disappearances, some of the crimes and things he was involved in. i wonder what the reaction to his conviction in mexico, what would you say about that? again, mixed feelings. i was talking to people, i was talking to one mother whose son was talking to one mother whose son was killed, she had to find his body over the years, and she was saying she is happy, she is content that he will spend his life in prison, but it is not really solving the problems she faces, the problems of disappearances, the problems of violence, the problems of drug trafficking, so kind of a muted feeling among many people. it would

be probably worse if he managed to survive on the street still iffy somehow beat the trial but it doesn't offer that might hope to many people in mexico.|j doesn't offer that might hope to many people in mexico. i was going to ask you about that because i was reading an article this morning which was saying how there is almost an expectation of corruption and there is this allegation that the former president was given a lot of money to make an investigation into el chapo go away, is that still being investigated? el chapo go away, is that still being investigated ? he el chapo go away, is that still being investigated? he hasn't spoken about that, has he? yes, so, there we re about that, has he? yes, so, there were allegations of corruption throughout the trial, the biggest one was $100 million going to the former president enrique nieto. everyone has presumed drug trafficking and corruption goes to the higher levels and certainly policemen and soldiers. they were policemen and soldiers. they were police officers i used to know as a journalist who were convicted. and these policemen themselves confessed not only to turning a blind eye on

drug traffickers, but being active killers, actually cutting people's heads off, committing these crimes. however, there is not that much high expectation that the real big politicians, the real big fish will face justice. politicians, the real big fish will facejustice. and politicians, the real big fish will face justice. and the politicians, the real big fish will facejustice. and the president himself of mexico right now has said he doesn't really want to go after past presidents because it could tear the country apart and he wants to try to put it back together again. while we are speaking to you we wa nt again. while we are speaking to you we want to look at some of the pictures of his arrest and some of the tunene; that he used to escape from various prisons he has been in over the years, but one other thing i wanted to ask you about, i was also reading in the year he was in trail there was a record high murder rate in mexico, 33,000 people —— tunnels. does it give us an indication of how interlinked his crimes and the crimes of others in the drug trafficking in a country like mexico is part of all aspects of society? leung is the problem is, that figure

of 33,000 murders was 2018. that happened in the year he was in the cell in the united states. the problem is now, when you take out these big cartel kingpin is like el chapo, a lot of them fight among themselves. but these days, it's not even just about drugs. that cut into the united states, stealing crude oilfrom mexican the united states, stealing crude oil from mexican pipelines, the united states, stealing crude oilfrom mexican pipelines, involved in human smuggling, said people go to the united states will pay about $5,000 to the smugglers. i find that ironic. it's the cartels who charge people to go into the united states. thank you so much for that extra information. careful what word you use. he is a well—known individual but some of the brutal crimes we have heard, one correspondence said, there is no way he will be breaking

out of american prison. he will be in the highest possible maximum security. we'll get the weather with carol in just a moment, first, take a look at the sun rising over plumpton racecourse in east sussex this morning. racing will actually take place after what has been going on with equine influenza. it looks lovely. i've got a lot to you this morning, dan. good morning to you as well. the temperatures this week, the yellow on this chart is indicating that we have mild air. that mild air is going to filter across the whole of the uk and through the weekend as well. yesterday, the top temperature, the giants causeway hitting 14 celsius. we could see 15. could see quite a lot of cloud

around. there is some across england and wales. equally, some patchy mist. that will lift and we are looking at some sunshine, increasing amounts of sunshine across england and wales. the rain across northern ireland in scotland, still some drizzle, and it's going to be windy across the north—west of scotland and the northern isles. breezy to the rest of us. tebbutt is above average for the time of year. looking at widely 10—12. around the morayfield, we could hit around about 13. the average at this stage and debris, north — south, 6—9. as we head on through the evening and overnight, a new weatherfront we head on through the evening and overnight, a new weather front goes in. introducing thicker cloud and rain. it is in pieces of cloud across england and wales. locally and ruehl areas, we could see a touch of frost or two and some patchy mist or fog. we don't expect

either to be problematic. high pressure firmly in charge of the weather on thursday, and could cause the near continent, keeping the weather fronts at bay. we are pulling in this mild air, coming up from the azores. on thursday, when we lose any patchy mist and fog, there will be a fair bit of sunshine, lengthy sunny spells. a bit more cloud at times across northern ireland could you will see some sunshine. temperatures widely 12 and 13. again, not ruling out 14 or perhaps even 15. high—pressure edging further east on thursday. breezy day but still, a lot of these fronts being kept at bay in the atlantic. some of them making a wee bit more progress across western scotla nd bit more progress across western scotland and northern ireland. another dry day of most, and other sunny day the most, and a breezy day. the breeze still coming from a mild sauce. tebbutt is on friday,

12,13, mild sauce. tebbutt is on friday, 12, 13, maybe 14 or 15 anywhere from east wales towards london. i want to show you something quite interesting and unusual. this has been named by the gentleman who saw it, andrew in michigan, a ghost apple. he was proving his apple trees when he came across this. what you need this to happen is freezing rain, freezing rain will freeze on this object on impact. water freezes at 0dc, apple is free —2.22. in the temperatures drops further to —5, you'll find the contents drops further to —5, you'll find the co nte nts of drops further to —5, you'll find the contents of the apple will actually rot so as it gets milder, the freezing point of an apple is —2.22, the apple inside this case of ice will start to decompose and slip out. it will leave just the case of ice in the shape of the applet once was. an interesting wee fact. you

are not wrong. i have been trying to ta ke are not wrong. i have been trying to take notes. not only is it interesting that it is such a beautiful piece of nature. it is, it is stunning. thank you very much. the freezing point of apples, who knew. treasure hunters in britain are finding more historic and significant artefacts than ever before. however, many don't end up in museums because of old and confusing definitions of what actually counts as ‘treasure'. but now new proposals are being put forward, in an effort to keep important finds on public display, rather than being sold to private collectors. breakfast‘s john mcguire has been taking a look. scouring a field in pembrokeshire, it's as if mark smith has a sixth sense thanks to his sophisticated metal detector. basically it will give you a bad, low, deep grunt of its rubbish, so you don't dig it. if it's anything of interest it will

give you a nice tone. mike has been out most days since he was a young boy. they had the lead peace over the eye. that's what you've got here. interesting but worthless. last year, he made the discovery of a lifetime. many lifetimes, in fact, finding items that are more than 2000 years old. they are decorations from the chariot of what is believed to bea from the chariot of what is believed to be a celtic king. the items have been declared as treasure by the coroner and are now crown property. they could be worth a fortune. there is no two ways around it. it's going to bea is no two ways around it. it's going to be a life changing amount. it's a vindication to prove that i haven't been wasting my time. other farmers are vast dig on the land who said there is no roman celtic activity, why are you wasting your time? i knew it was here, ijust had to find it. further digs at the site which is now protected by law may reveal

more artefacts, a find of national and international significance that is destined to remain in wales and on public display. but that's not a lwa ys on public display. but that's not always the case. this roman helmet found by metal detector in cumbria was made of copper, not the precious metal, so not declared as treasure but which then sold to a private buyerfor but which then sold to a private buyer for £2.3 but which then sold to a private buyerfor £2.3 million. at the british museum, a team of experts controls the process of evaluating these historic discoveries. these roman coins here have none or very, very little precious metal in them at all. someone discovers fewer than ten of these coins, they have no obligation to report them under law but if they find ten or more, than they do have to report them as treasure. are almost 1300 treasure finds in 2017, a record number, and the government is concerned about what happens to valuable items switz proposing changes in the law that include anything found worth more

than £10,000 will officially protected by treasure status regardless of the metal it's made from. if you think about the value of something, we have then some fines which would love to have seen going to museums and we think the public would have benefited from coming to see these and study them but they've escaped outside the system and they've gone to private collectors and may be thinking about the value of those is a way to do that. back in pembrokeshire mark smith tells me he supports the proposed changes so once an item of historical and financial value is found, it will no longer be lost to the nation. john mcguire, bbc news, pembrokeshire. ifeel the nation. john mcguire, bbc news, pembrokeshire. i feel like i'm learning a lot today. ghost apples, treasure. what else will we learn? you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning. how gardening can help transform the lives of young people. graham satchell‘s at a school in norfolk to find out more. good morning. we are in norfolk and

this is an amazing garden, and area, it is pretty big and you can see over their wooden platform which they are going to use as an outdoor class area in the summer. this morning, there are some students here who are about to start planting some potatoes for us. this place is full every lunchtime, classes you, they are learning things like where food comes from, sustainability, the environment, will be finding it much more later in the programme about how they've done it, how they've won this prize but first, it's time to the news, travel, and weather where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. there are calls for football authorities to do more to protect players from head injuries from the former england and tottenham midfielder, ryan mason. he's now coaching at spurs, a year on since he was forced to retire at the age ofjust 26, due to a fractured skull. ultimately, the specialists that i've seen and spoke to,

if you do get a whack on the head, and there is a small sort of concussion, then you go and get another whack on the head within minutes, then that's when the damage can be done and i think that is potentially something that we can protect players a lot more on. councillors in croydon have suggested that construction of the new westfield shopping centre there could be delayed. the £1.4 billion development on the site of the existing whitgift centre was given the green light in 2017. the plans include 300 shops and nearly 1,000 new homes. the development‘s french owners say they're "committed to investing in croydon". one of the capital's most famous green spaces has seen a sharp increase in the number of tree moths which can cause allergic reactions. the city of london corporation which looks after hampstead heath says it could end up costing £250,000 a year to prevent the spread of oak precessionary moth caterpillars.

it says just 15 nests were spotted in 2015, but that rose to more than 2,000 last year. travel now. the tube seems to be off to a good start this morning no reported problems so far on any of those lines. however, there are no southeastern trains between lewisham and dartford — instead there's a replacement bus — it's because of a landslip and the line will be closed until the weekend. onto the roads then. there's a lane closed on the north circular between staples corner and neasden because of a gas leak. what we're looking here is the back of the queue from brent cross and the woolwich ferry‘s got a limited service so expect a knock on effect from that. good morning. it is not feeling quite as cold as it did this time yesterday morning and by the end of the day, it could feel positively springlike. now, we've got a bit of cloud this morning and that helped keep the temperature a little milder overnight but once it clears,

we will see blue skies, sunshine and the temperature through the afternoon feeling really quite pleasant. now, the cloud is not going to last for long, some drier airfeeding in from the continent, assisted by a southerly south—westerly breeze and then blue sky and sunshine this afternoon, temperatures reaching 12 celsius, so feeling really quite pleasant in the sunshine. overnight, though, we still have very little cloud so the temperature will drop. it will be quite a chilly night, actually. the minimum down towards zero, especially out towards the suburbs or beyond, so you could see a sparkle or two of frost tomorrow morning and you may also see a little bit of mist and fog but tomorrow, more of the same, blue skies and sunshine and mild temperatures of 13 celsius. another glorious day for friday, not much sunshine but somewhere in london, we could see temperatures reaching about 15. so that's it for now — i'll be back in around half an hour. till then you can check out our website. now back to dan and louise. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin.

it is fast approaching 7:30am. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. the mexican drug lord, joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, is facing life behind bars after being convicted in new york of trafficking huge amounts of drugs into the united states. named by the us as one of the most powerful and dangerous men on the planet, el chapo rose through mexico's cartels during the ‘70s and ‘80s. after years on the run, he was captured in 2017 and taken to america to face justice. with 44 days to go until britain is due to leave the european union, businesses are demanding answers on what a no—deal brexit could mean for them. the british chambers of commerce, which represents hundreds of thousands of companies, says 20 key questions remain unresolved. they include how to move skilled staff between the uk and eu, which rules to follow and what trade deals will be in place. the government said it was focused on getting approval for its brexit deal. meanwhile, downing street has

refused to comment on a report that the uk's chief brexit negotiator was overheard revealing the prime minister's plans in a bar in brussels. olly robbins is reported to have said that mps will be given two options in march, to back the prime minister's revised withdrawal agreement, or to face a lengthy delay to the process, keeping us in the eu for longer. social media companies should be made more responsible for cracking down on content that's fuelling knife crime, according to the home secretary. sajid javid says he wants measures to ensure technology firms clampdown on gang—related material, in the same way they have targeted terrorist propaganda. he's been speaking tojim connolly from radio 1's newsbeat. i'm also responsible for other types of illegal content on the internet, terrorist videos, extremism videos, child sexual exploitation videos. this is all illegal content.

at the moment we don't have that legislation for it. i have the legislation for terrorist content, i have it for illegal child sexual abuse imagery, but we don't have that legislation today for that kind of content. we are changing that. the biggest tech giants need to do more. my message is we are going to legislate and how far we go depends on what you decide to do now. a ban on the use of young celebrities and sports stars in gambling adverts is to come into force to help protect children. the new rules, which cover social networks and other online platforms, will come into force in april. the advertising standards authority will be able to ban any adverts which fail to comply. a man has admitted affray after bursting into a pub revving a power saw and threatening terrified customers. this is the footage you can see here. andrew dicken ran in to the bulls heads in sale in greater manchester in the early hours of saturday morning. we can hear the noise. he'll be sentenced at

manchester crown court next month. so... terrifying. imagine walking into a supposedly empty house and finding this. what?! this huge tiger was found by two people when they entered a vacant property in houston, texas. animal control officers managed to cage the female tiger before she was taken to a sanctuary, where she is said to be doing well. very beautiful tiger. the police are as you can imagine investigating who owns the house and how the tiger got there. that is an amazing story. can i tell you something weird that happened this morning? what? so i got up and had a shave and a shower, got fully dressed. where is this going? where is this going? i got dressed and i thought, hold on, checked the clock, 12:15am. three hours before he has

to wa ke 12:15am. three hours before he has to wake up. i got an dressed and went back to bed for three hours and then had a second shower, so i am johnny two showers this morning. did you go back to sleep? yes, straightaway. so annoying! that is really horrible. i turned it into a positive and thought, bonus sleep, soi positive and thought, bonus sleep, so i feel surprisingly perky. do you have a message for the manchester united fans to turn it into a positive? only halfway through. halftime in the champions league match. that is all we needed to hear. it was a night to forget for manchester united. they lost the first leg of their champions league match 2—0 at home to paris saint—germain. it's their first defeat under caretaker manager ole gunnar solskjaer. in this competition away goals can be crucial and the french champions scored two of them. kimpembay with the first and then kylian mbappe with what might be a crucial second. to make things worse, paul pogba got sent off late on. this is a level up from what we have played against with the runs we have had. we have had a great run.

we came into this game in a great frame of mind, great form. but of course it was a big step up. they have quality from the keeper until the striker and there is a reason behind them being one of the favourites for the champions league. he was a goalkeeper with magic, they were the words of pele paying tribute to england's world cup winning keeper gordon banks who has died aged 81. banks was a member of the famous team of 1966 but is forever remembered for this save from pele's header four years later. the brazilian legend called it the best he'd ever seen. and the kind words have come in from around the football world. current england keeper jordan pickford saluted his save and called banks a true legend. the german national team's twitter account said he was a fierce opponent and a good man. and the fa chairman greg clarke said he was an england great and one of the world's best goalkeepers. the save against pele was obviously something people remember.

i would put it down to his hard work in training. you know, trying for every shot and not giving up. and that paid off in that one moment which, you know, probably made gordon's career. you know, it was on the world cup stage and it is one that will be remembered forever. and we are going to talk about him as well with bob watson at about 8:30am. yes, a 30 am bob watson is here. it's taken three matches, batting collapses and lots of soul searching but england have finally won a test in west indies. the series had already gone but england dominated in st lucia. as ever, jimmy anderson got things going with some help from moeen ali, and ben stokes finished it off with more than a day to go leaving west indian roston chase not out on 102. meanwhile, the west indies bowler shannon gabriel has been charged with personal abuse of a player by the cricket authorities. it's after an incident which led to the england captainjoe root telling gabriel he shouldn't use being gay as an insult.

it's not known what gabriel said, but root was recorded on the stump mic telling gabriel that there was nothing wrong with being gay. i think thatjust, one, sums up how far sport has moved, but, two, i think for him he showed real characteristics of leadership, being a role model in that scenario to really can't stand up for what he believes in. so we don't know what gabriel said but i think from joe root‘s perspective he has really shown a positive light. horse racing gets going again today after a six day break because of equine flu but there will be strict measures in place to stop any chance of the disease spreading. trainers have to be assessed before they can enter runners and there are plenty of checks courses have to go through too. this is chelmsford racecourse which hosts a meeting tomorrow. i don't think we have a, do we? i am

pleased we saw that twice —— andy. i don't like to do that as a job, i don't like to do that as a job, i don't want to inhale it. i know it is going on all over the land. that is going on all over the land. that is why you are sitting here. are we going to have another go? no, we won't. later today borussia dortmund's jadon sancho returns to his home city of london to play tottenham at wembley in the champions league. but his trip didn't start well. here's jadon on arriving in london but what that tweet doesn't tell you is that he arrived at the airport in germany without his passport. the dortmund plane was delayed while he got it, but all seems to be forgiven now. i didn't notice, you know, it is not a big city, dortmund is not london, so it doesn't take much time to get a passport. we had a seven minute delay i think, which was ok for us. —— we had a 17 minute delay i think, which was ok for us. it might cost a little bit of money, but i think 90% of the guys didn't notice.

he got away with it almost, apart from the fact that we are talking about it... on nationaltv, anyway. can you go and find that interview that we lost? lost in the smoke in the stable. yeah. there's a warning this morning about the fire risk from faulty household electrical appliances, especially if they're not registered. steph's been taking a look at this. what sort of appliances are you talking about? you know when you buy an electrical item, whatever it might be, often it comes with paperwork and something to fill in and sent to the manufacturer.” a lwa ys and sent to the manufacturer.” always forget to do that. not many people do that, and that is the problem because it is difficult for manufacturers to contact you if there are problems, so electrical safety first have worked out that we have around on average 15 electrical items in our house, some have more, some less, and on average two thirds of those items haven't been registered with the manufacturer. that means there are millions of unregistered electrical

items out there. now that's a problem if the manufacturer discovers a serious fault because it has no way of contacting owners of the product to tell them about it. that's what happened to maxine from ellesmere port. have a look at this? the electric trip, so the water went cold, so i came out of the shallow, put on my dressing gown, as i came into the way i could see smoke dust coming from the kitchen, and as i came into the kitchen isil it was coming in from the tumble dryer —— shower. as i pulled out the tumble dryer, it just went bang. everything went on fire, the window blew out. it took about one hour to put out. it was just horrendous. when the insurance company came out and they found the serial number on it, they realised it had been recalled. when the kitchen is completely fitted and all of the new appliances have come, i

will register them all and also after 12 months i think i will get them checked, it is so important. poor maxine. i would imagine that is quite common. yes, i am not saying eve ryo ne quite common. yes, i am not saying everyone has to worry about the electrical items catching fire but this is something i have covered on watchdog as well, tumble dryers and washing machines having problems, and if you look at the figures on this in england and wales, there we re over this in england and wales, there were over 2000 fires caused by electrical default last year. some of these would have been because of fa u lts of these would have been because of faults known to the manufacturer. but they can't tell customers who have them. the biggest problem is washing machines, tumble dryers. and while the cases are dreadful, it is not happening, like, every day so you don't need to panic about it. and what do you do? if you haven't registered, can you ? and what do you do? if you haven't registered, can you? yes, you can. if you are buying a new one try to

remember to register it.” if you are buying a new one try to remember to register it. i have some on my desk waiting for me. have you? that is the problem, it can be at fat —— faff. if you have an older model you can do that, go to the electrical safety first website and there are links to register your product. you can search to see if there has been a recall or if you are worried about your tumble dryer, you can look online and search and see whether that model number has had any problems or recall. i have my toaster for about ten years, still going strong. it isn't every day because of these. it is worth thinking about. that is what it is for, the toaster. i will fill it out. there you go, you and your toasters. i am a 10—year toaster, me. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. you have been talking about this

beautiful ghost apple which i think we will see later. yes, indeed. good morning, everyone. what! we will see later. yes, indeed. good morning, everyone. what i am talking about is mild weather through the course of this week with temperatures above average for this time of february, normally north to south it would be 6— 90 degrees and the other good thing is at the end of the month we will have an extra one hour and 45 minutes of daylight —— 6—9 degrees. for now we have mild air illustrated by yellow here, moving across the whole of the uk not just today but moving across the whole of the uk notjust today but right moving across the whole of the uk not just today but right through until the weekend. yesterday's top temperature was northern ireland in the giants causeway, 14 degrees, by the giants causeway, 14 degrees, by the end of the week we could see 15. this morning there was a lot of cloud around over scotland and northern ireland but we also have some across england and wales, here are the home counties, sussex and surrey, some patchy mist and fog for dumfries and galloway. that will lift and we will see increasing amounts of sunshine coming in from the south across england and wales.

this morning's rain is easing, some drizzle coming out of the thickest cloud, and windy as you can see from the circle with the number in it across the north—west scotland and also the northern ireland. if you're in the sunshine today in the north—east to we could hit 12 around moray firth, generally though it is 10-12. as moray firth, generally though it is 10—12. as we had on through the evening and overnight a weather front comes in across western scotla nd front comes in across western scotland eventually into northern ireland introducing thicker cloud and some rain. south of that there will some breaks in the cloud, so in rural areas you could find the odd pocket of frost, and also patchy mist and fog forming, but we don't expect either to be problematic. on thursday high—pressure is still very much in charge of the weather, keeping weather fronts at bay to the north and west, but we pull in southerly wind, that is a mild direction for us, and it will bring in dry airwhich direction for us, and it will bring in dry air which will break up the cloud. so we might start off with

patchy mist and fog but you can see for most of the uk it will be sunny, the fronts to the north, some rain for the northern isles, temperatures widely on thursday 10—13 but again moray firth is favoured for possibly 14. as we head into friday high—pressure drifts further east, it will be a breezy day as you can see from the isobars, fronts kept to the north and west, some getting a little bit further in towards the outer hebrides for example, introducing thicker cloud and eventually some rain. a lot of dry weather around, a lot of sunshine and temperatures anywhere from east wales towards london could get up higher than this, they could be 14 or indeed 15. so that is our weather. i want to take you to something fun. in finland as i am sure you know there is a lot of snow for many months and in a little village this is what happens, the la ke freezes village this is what happens, the lake freezes and they go off on the lawnmowers like a mini grand prix and it is a 12 hour test of

endurance. and they have teams, this took place early on in the month. they have 3019 is taking part in this with names like mo for it, pain in the grass and i am sure you can think of some names —— 39 teams taking part. you are giving us some real fun taking part. you are giving us some realfun this taking part. you are giving us some real fun this morning, taking part. you are giving us some realfun this morning, thank taking part. you are giving us some real fun this morning, thank you very much! that is excellent. i want dell might once took part in the lawnmowers... did dell might once took part in the lawnmowers. .. did you? dell might once took part in the lawnmowers... did you? yes, i crash on the first bend —— i once took pa rt on the first bend —— i once took part in the lawnmowers. i took the inside line. you'vejust part in the lawnmowers. i took the inside line. you've just got to, you know... holdback, slow and steady winds the race. that is my approach. gardening is the perfect activity for children and teenagers but getting them to start is not always easy. but getting them to start is not always easy. every year, the royal horticultural society awards prizes to the schools

and teachers who do the most to encourage gardening. brea kfast‘s graham satchell is at a school in norfolk to tell us more. yes, we are to reap high school week and see some potato planting going on. there is a lot of allotment and a wooden platform of outdoor classes. —— reepham high school. the stu d e nts classes. —— reepham high school. the students are out bright and early this morning. good morning. tell me what you like about this. it's so inspiring an inclusive and before i came down here, i didn't think much about the environment but now i'm here, it has changed my views. it's nice to get out of a classroom? definitely. school can be so busy and it's nice to be able to come down here and have a relaxing environment to let go. let's have a chat to the teacher behind all of this. good morning to you, mr

willer. this is an rhs gardening competition. i am the rhs school gardening champion of the year. we are preparing this the growing, getting it i am in your ring and we will grow some tomatoes, courgettes, salads for the school and everything here is used at the school canteen so children will pick it and use it in ourcooking. so children will pick it and use it in our cooking. why did you start? i wa nted in our cooking. why did you start? i wanted to create something different to the children when they come to school. it's not just to the children when they come to school. it's notjust about sitting in the classroom, it's about learning about the environment. children really need to know where their food comes from and it's important that children have a bit of escapism and they're very busy school day. the gadget show you a bit more of it. whether our growing some herbs, and when the weather improves, this will be covered with vegetables. i will take you to a water recycling place. the water is

caught in these sales. it goes into a large that underground. it is pumped into a collecting place here and then can be used to water the allotment. oh, it was going so well! what a shame. we'll have more later but they are clearly enjoying the gardening. what happens that technically, there is a long piece of string and its failed us wants. it was the machine that did it. we'll get back to them later on. in some of the papers this morning, you'll see the story of the uk's chief brexit negotiator, apparently overhead revealing theresa may's brexit plans. olly robbins is reported to have said that mps will be given two options in march: the prime minister's revised withdrawal agreement, or an extension to article 50, keeping us in the eu for longer. the brexit secretary, stephen barclayjoins us now from westminster. the brexit secretaryjoins us from

westminster. is that a plan. i was in brussels. we will address the specific issue of the backstroke. we have a legally binding issue in terms of the backstop. that's what we we re terms of the backstop. that's what we were discussing in brussels. on the face of the bill, that is what parliament has voted for but the way that we need to move it forward is with a deal. ok, let'sjust ask you. i appreciate you weren't there. i

just want to know whether this is something that has been considered by the prime minister. this is my deal, orface a delay. by the prime minister. this is my deal, or face a delay. is that the case? that's not the prime minister ‘s plan. she's been clear. working ha rd ‘s plan. she's been clear. working hard in behalf of the country to secure the deal. whether it's the extension or not, it's not a unilateral matter. that would require agreement from the member states or 27. one doesn't know what conditions would be attached to that if it was sought. and what came across from the discussions we had, in brussels or strasbourg with european leaders, there is no desire from the european leaders. like many of the businesses watching, they wa nt to of the businesses watching, they want to see us get on with it. they wa nt to want to see us get on with it. they want to have the certainty of a deal. they don't want the uncertainty that they would see if there was no deal outcome. it's important we secure a deal, it is in the interests of both sides to do so and that was the case we were making

in brussels and strasbourg. what progress of you made? what michelle barnier is saying is the same. what concrete progress to be made? the prime minister was with jean—claude juncker. the attorney general was also in dublin. we are setting out concerns. addressing many of the questions that michelle barnier and others have. there is a recognition of others on the european side. there is a recognition from them that neither side wants to see no deal and therefore we need to find a way through it. having to address the concerns that parliament has sent out. addressing the issue of the backstop. i can see why coughing. you ok? iam

the backstop. i can see why coughing. you ok? i am fine. let's carry on and talk about the british chambers of commerce. look at the 20 questions that are concerned about. will i still be able to fly people and/ or goods between the eu and the uk. they were in with officials yesterday. going through in detail theissues yesterday. going through in detail the issues of concern. you're absolutely right. there were many businesses out there who are concerned about the level of uncertainty. failing that, the commission is saying the extension of nine months, alongside that, some initial permits. we have the first wave of just over initial permits. we have the first wave ofjust over 1000. the second wave ofjust over 1000. the second wave ofjust over 1000. the second wave of 850 over the next couple of weeks. obviously demand exceeds that. the french government has also

indicated that that is what it wants to see but the best way of addressing it ultimately is with a deal because that will actually mitigate the concerns that the industry and others have set out. it's interesting hearing your turn, you keep hearing about a deal. has that been there is no deal taken up the table? what parliament voted forwarded to get article 50 is, to leave on the 29th of march. that is the will of parliament in terms of triggering article 50. it is the legal default if we don't have a deal. the way one addresses the risk of no deal is obviously to have a deal. if we don't have a deal, there is only two other options. we easily without a deal and cancel brexit entirely which will be hugely damaging for democracy given that it was the biggest vote in our history. we are preparing for an idea.

a little bit later on this morning, we will be hearing from bob wilson. there are loads of tributes in the papers today. it is from a journalist called lee marlowe. it tells you all you need to know about the sort of man gordon banks was. it was also kind and humble and in everything, a great footballer and an even better gentlemen. have a listen. hadow, lucas. your dad told me that you want to be a goalkeeper. goodlad. we always want goalkeepers. here are some advice from me. first of all, you have to work hard. being a goalkeeper is not easy. the more

you play, the more you practise, the easier it gets. your eyes will get better at spotting the angles. you will begin to know where the ball will begin to know where the ball will go. that is called anticipation. great goalies have good anticipation. always know where you are in the goal. now the angles down. make it as hard as possible for the striker to score. as he was running in, he must have thought he was like a bundle. be brave. he had to be brave to come out the crosses. and be brave as well if you lose or make a mistake. we'll make them. i made some mistakes but i never let anyone see that i was upset. good luck, lucas. gordon banks. never let anyone see your upset. bob wilson

will reflect on the life of career and gordon banks who died at the age of 81. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm sonja jessup. there are calls for football authorities to do more to protect players from head injuries from the former england and tottenham midfielder, ryan mason. he's now coaching at spurs — a year on since he was forced to retire at the age ofjust 26, due to a fractured skull. ultimately, the specialists that i've seen and spoke to, if you do get a whack on the head, and there is a small sort of concussion, then you go and get another whack on the head within minutes, then that's when the damage can be done and i think that is potentially something that we can protect players a lot more on. councillors in croydon have suggested that construction of the new westfield shopping centre there could be delayed. the £1.4 billion development on the site of the existing whitgift centre was given the green light in 2017.

the plans include 300 shops and nearly 1,000 new homes. the development‘s french owners say they're "committed to investing in croydon". one of the capital's most famous green spaces has seen a sharp increase in the number of tree moths which can cause allergic reactions. the city of london corporation which looks after hampstead heath says it could end up costing £250,000 a year to prevent the spread of oak precessionary moth caterpillars. it says just 15 nests were spotted in 2015, but that rose to more than 2,000 last year. travel now. tfl rail has mild delays. there are no southeastern trains between lewisham and dartford via bexleyheath — instead there's a replacement bus because of a landslip and the line will be closed until the weekend.

on the north circular between staples corner and neasden because of a gas leak. what we're looking here is the back of the queue from brent cross and the woolwich ferry‘s got a limited service so expect a knock on effect from that. now the weather with kate kinsella. it is not feeling quite as cold as it did this time yesterday morning and by the end of the day, it could feel positively springlike. now, we've got a bit of cloud this morning and that helped keep the temperature a little milder overnight but once it clears, we will see blue skies, sunshine and the temperature through the afternoon feeling really quite pleasant. now, the cloud is not going to last for long, some drier airfeeding in from the continent, assisted by a southerly south—westerly breeze and then blue sky and sunshine this afternoon, temperatures reaching 12 celsius, so feeling really quite pleasant in the sunshine. overnight, though, we still have very little cloud so the temperature will drop. it will be quite a chilly night, actually. the minimum down towards zero, especially out towards the suburbs or beyond, so you could see a sparkle or two of frost tomorrow morning and you may also see

a little bit of mist and fog but tomorrow, more of the same, blue skies and sunshine and mild temperatures of 13 celsius. another glorious day for friday, not much sunshine but somewhere in london, we could see temperatures reaching about 15 celsius. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the mexican drug lord, el chapo, faces life in a maximum security jail after being found guilty in new york. we'll look at how he became the world's wealthiest trafficker and managed to escape justice for so long. the home secretary tells the bbc that new laws are needed to stop knife crime being fuelled by social media. a big brexit warning from british business.

one leading group says firms are in danger of being "hung out to dry" because of the uncertainty surrounding a possible no—deal. in the champions league, manchester united are going to need a french revolution in paris. a 2—0 win for paris st germain makes solskjaer and co les miserables at old trafford. for scotland and northern ireland, quite a bit of cloud around. increasing amounts of sunshine when we lose the fog this morning. i will have more in 15 minutes. it's wednesday 13th february. our top story. the mexican drug lord joaquin guzman, better known as el chapo, is facing life behind bars after being convicted in new york of trafficking huge amounts of cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the united states. named by the us as one of the most feared, powerful

and dangerous men on the planet, el chapo rose through mexico's criminal ranks during the 70s and 80s. after a series of dramatic escapes he was captured in 2017 and taken to america to face justice. our correspondent nada tawfik has this report. 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. 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 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. 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. the phone numbers don't lie. it was

infiltrating his communication structure and breaking it down and finding his location. it was a culmination of events between the drug administration and finding our way to the top where el chapo was the last man to target. i bought a ski mask and i was in camouflage. i ran over to him when i first saw him. it was dark, jumped into his face and said, what's up, el chapo! amazing story. in hindsight after

the trial, he was the man who ca ptu red the trial, he was the man who captured him all those years ago. with just 44 days to go until britain is due to leave the european union, businesses say they're being "hung out to dry" by the uncertainty of what a no—deal could mean for them. it is the british chamber of commerce. they employ about 6 million people so they are co nsta ntly million people so they are constantly talking to their members about what they are worried about. they are not saying anything we haven't had before in terms of their concerns but the clock is ticking and they have put out 20 questions they feel haven't been answered by they feel haven't been answered by the government. it includes things like what tariffs will my company need to play. will i still be able to fly people and goods between the eu and the uk. will there be new safety a nd eu and the uk. will there be new safety and security requirements? they have 20 of these questions in total and they say by not having the

a nswer total and they say by not having the answer is, it makes it difficult for businesses to prepare and it is creating unnecessary costs for them. it means some businesses are holding back on investing and this uncertainty needs to go. they need to get these answers and they are willing to work with the government on this. the government are saying they are putting out advice and they have been talking to businesses but this is what clay walker had to say about it earlier. it's been two and about it earlier. it's been two and a half years since the referendum result and the government should have been planning for this scenario from the off. what we are seeing from the off. what we are seeing from businesses, many are planning but they are doing it with patchy information, as we have highlighted today. when they haven't been able today. when they haven't been able to plan it is because the information isn't there or they have been waiting for a deal which is yet to come. she wasjust highlighting why this was so important. thank you

so much, steph. downing street has refused to comment on a report that the uk's chief brexit negotiator was overheard revealing the prime minister's plans in a bar in brussels. olly robbins is reported to have said that mps will be given two options in march — to back the prime minister's revised withdrawal agreement, or to face a lengthy delay to the process, keeping us in the eu for longer. our political correspondent nick eardley is at westminster for us and can tell us more. good morning, what can you tell us? he is not the first man to make a controversial comment in a bar after work, but this could matter. so far theresa may has said consistently she wants to leave the european union on the 29th of march. the government isn't entertaining publicly, the idea of postponing brexit. but her chief negotiator, according to these reports of a

conversation in a bar, he says he thinks it is realistic. either mps will back a new deal with tweaks to it or they face a lengthy extension of the brexit process. we did ask the brexit secretary about this and he said it is not the government's policy. but this is what he said how it could be done. it is notjust a british decision as to whether it is an extension or not, it is not a unilateral matter, it will mean agreement from the other 27 member states. and what came across from the discussions we had in brussels and strasbourg is there is no desire from european leaders to prolong this. like many of the business is watching your programme, they want to see us getting on with it and they want the certainty of a deal. the government is sticking to the line that we leave next month. but there is still uncertainty because

any decision on what a brexit deal might look like and what alternative mps might back has been kicked down the road to later this month, potentially into next month. so we will be talking about this for a while yet. i think you are right. we will, that, we can be sure. social media companies should be made more responsible for cracking down on content that's fuelling knife crime, according to the home secretary. sajid javid says he wants measures to ensure technology firms clamp—down on gang—related material, in the same way they have targeted terrorist propaganda. newsbeat‘sjim connolly reports. more people are being killed in england and wales by knives now than at any time since the second world war. rob was in a gang in east london but moved away to escape his violent past. he spent six years in prison but now goes around schools and colleges to try to stop others making the same mistake. i started carrying a knife when i was 12. a knife because everyone was doing it at the time. i've stabbed quite a lot of people. if i was to say, count, i have lost count. there were so many years in the gang life. people remind me of people i stabbed i don't remember.

the first person to be killed by knife this year died on this street in the early hours of new year's day. knife crime is becoming a grim daily reality. just down the road at kings college hospital, the home secretary has come to see where victims end up. one of the ways he wants to stop people getting to this point is by restricting content that incites violence, like some drill music, a genre of highly aggressive rap often linked to street violence. i actually think you can do a lot more to police harmful content on the internet, because at the moment we don't have that legislation for it. i have the legislation for terrorist content, for illegal child sexual abuse imagery, but we don't have that legislation today for that kind of content. and we're changing that. my daughter, our eldest daughter is going out a lot more, just part of growing up, you want them to go out with their friends and enjoy themselves, but i do worry, and there are some nights i have actually stayed up, you know, quite late into the early hours of the morning just waiting to know that she is back home. life's looking brighter for robert,

but many people he grew up with are trapped in a gang lifestyle. back in my day, if i listened to drill music, i'm riding out 24/7. the way i am listening to it, the way it is now, i am definitely getting involved in crime. preventing getting involved is the new priority for the authorities. a ban on the use of young celebrities and sports stars in gambling adverts is to come into force to help protect children. the new rules, which cover social networks and other online platforms, will come into force in april. the advertising standards authority will be able to ban any adverts which fail to comply. the rapper professor green has cancelled his upcoming uk tour afterfracturing his neck. in an instagram post, he said he suffered a seizure which resulted in a fall. professor green, whose real name is stephen manderson, said he's lucky he did not break his neck, and will be back in the winter with a new tour. we wish him all the very best. we do

indeed. the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall made an official visit to liverpool yesterday, with camilla getting a picture at one of the most ‘instagram—able' spots in the city. camilla stood in front of the famous mural, called ‘for all liverpool's liver birds', and spoke to its creator, paul curtis. the royal couple also paid a visit to the royal albert dock. around three million nhs staff could soon be getting mandatory training on how to better treat patients with learning disabilities. the government begins a consultation today on how it might work. it follows a lengthy campaign, which we've been following here on breakfast, by charities and families. they include paula and tom mcgowan, whose18—year—old son oliver died in 2016, following an allergic reaction to drugs he had asked not to be given. first and foremost, the most important lesson is to actually listen to the patient, to the person and then listen to the family

around, the patient, family and carers. listening is effective communication. you know, it is actually listening and taking on board what that person is actually saying. we had engaged with the processes within the nhs like hospital passports and medical care plans. these were all in place and yet when oliver went into a&e there were no, what is termed reasonable adjustments, which basically means adapting the environment, giving him a quieter space, not so rowdy. it was a saturday night in a&e, there was lots going on. he was autistic, he had people on him, people holding him. that was effectively exacerbating the situation. oliver was the most generous, positive person ever. he would want us to do this and he would want us to make changes, but not just changes, effective changes. we're joined now by leroy binns, who has a learning disability and feels that his treatment in an nhs hospital could have been much better. we're also joined by dan scorer from the charity mencap, which supports people

with learning disabilities. leroy, tell us about the treatment you had and how you feel it could have been improved? in 2012, i went to university college. the doctor there said to me that i had a mild heart attack. it wasn't until 2014 when i went back to a doctor, he told me that. i said, when i went back to a doctor, he told me that. isaid, but when i went back to a doctor, he told me that. i said, but how? when i went back to a doctor, he told me that. isaid, but how? i wasn't told. he said, you were. then he showed me a letter which the doctor sent. and it was in what you would call, medicaljargon. which

you or i would not understand. do you or i would not understand. do you think if you had known you had had a heart attack, that would have helped you at the time? yes, because i could have done something about it. so it was the language use that was the issue? yes. what sort of thing should be changed, because it has an impact on people if they don't understand a diagnosis or the medicine they have been given? leroy has been given some important examples, the way doctors communicate with their patients, do they do it in language people understand. the letters they send out, people cannot understand it. leroy would have understood easy read, which has pictures and simple language. these are adjustments that can be made in the way care is delivered so people can understand what is happening and this is vital

to saving lives. over the year, lots of people die unavoidably because if they had been given easy access to health care, their lives could have changed. leroy, you have spoke to doctors and nurses and try to recruit them for this learning disability champion scheme? they we re disability champion scheme? they were open to making use of it. which is important? what sort of training do you give them and how can that help people? the most important thing is they have training with a learning disability patient and their family. so they have face—to—face contact and they learn

what the issues are and the changes that need to be made. they need to understand the laws they need to be working around so they can make changes for people with learning disability and where people with learning disability cannot make decisions about their care, they are using the law and decision making tools to make sure people do get the ca re tools to make sure people do get the care they need. is it possible to have a one size fits all response? the training we hope will roll out next year the government is talking about in consultation today, it needs to be tailored to people in different roles, doctors, nurses, porters, receptions, everyone needs the basic awareness. what would your message to nurses, doctors and other people in a medical environment in how they speak to you? use very simple language and make reasonable adjustments so everyone can have good health care. accessible language is the key thing? thank you

very much. you have made it very clear, leroy. thank you very much. i always enjoyed carol's forecast, but particularly today because of this ghost apple. you cannotjust demand that. the ghost apple is back. it has been a mild start to the day, and where you see the yellow, this is mild air. the temperatures yesterday hit 14 celsius and by the end of this week we could see 15 in some parts of the uk. cloud across parts of northern ireland and scotla nd parts of northern ireland and scotland producing rain or drizzle. quite a bit of cloud across england and wales and here we have some mist around the home counties, sussex, patchy fog in dumfries and galloway. all of that will live. we are seeing

increasing amounts of sunshine coming in from the south spreading across england and wales. even where we have the cloud in northern ireland and scotland, it will brighten up for you. it is windy across the north—west of scotland and the northern isles. where the cloud breaks around the moray firth we will see 13 or 14 but widely it is 11 to 12. the average february temperatures at this stage all six in the north and nine in the south. we are well above. overnight, a new weather front comes in from the west introducing thicker cloud and splashes of rain. into western scotla nd splashes of rain. into western scotland and northern ireland. there will be breaks in the cloud across england and wales and here in rural areas, he might get the odd pocket of frost and equally some patchy mist and fog. that leads us into marrow, high—pressure anchored across france. you can see how it is keeping the weather front out

towards the north—west but it is pulling in around it, some warm or mild, lovely air. tomorrow we will start with the patchy mist and fog. it will lift and even sunshine around it will mean the cloud will thin and bright. temperatures 12 to 13. tomorrow, somewhere could easily hit 14. high—pressure drifts further east by tomorrow. weather fronts towards the north and the north—west. that means friday, settled for most with a lot of sunshine around. breezy but it is a south—westerly breeze. and now a weather front getting into the west of northern ireland and northern and western scotland, introducing thicker cloud and splashes of rain. ten to 13 are the numbers on the chart but we could hit 13 or 14 of

the east wales into the direction of london. louise has been talking about ghost apples. they were names discovered by this gentleman, andrew from mitch again. it isjust an apple with ice around it. for that to happen, what you need is freezing rain. freezing rain will freeze on impact on its object, in this case an apple. water freezes at 0 celsius. the apple freezes at minus 2.22 celsius so if the temperature continues to drop to minus five, what will happen is the apple inside this ice will rot and decompose. then as the temperature rises and it will four and the contents will dribble out of the bottom leaving this perfect, glass apple shaped which is empty, like a christmas

decoration. i have been watching all morning thinking how can i recreate this at home? i clearly can't. it is worth a try. get it down to —2.22 to freeze the apple and then minus five to let it drip out. ican imagine i can imagine you in a lab coat with dry ice everywhere. note still to come on the programme. horse racing gets back under way today. it had been suspended for six days after an outbreak of equine flu. today's meetings will take place under strict controls, in an effort to prevent the spread of the virus. let's join lucy vladev at plumpton racecourse in east sussex. i suspect they are looking forward to today? good morning. this outbreak has affected not only an

entire sport but i am told the rural economy. here at plumpton, like many places across the uk, they rely on race days to bring in money and they hirea race days to bring in money and they hire a lot of local people. over the past six days 174 stables have been in lockdown because of this outbreak. they have carried out hundreds of tests but on monday the british horseracing authority announced racing could go ahead and two people who are happy about that are dan thompson, in charge of the racecourse here and mark. dan thompson, the past six days must have been very stressful? they have, you are in no control of how it is going to end. it is difficult being in limbo and not knowing. but it is important the horse's welfare is put first. equine flu, many people don't

understand how it affects horses and why it is important? i am not the best to explain, but it is an airborne disease so it is contagious. if you put a lot of horses from different regions together, there is a chance of it spreading. the lockdown was important, until we could see what strain it was and it could be contained. they have done it well and it hasn't spread any further. extra safety measures in place, 135 yea rs of extra safety measures in place, 135 years of racing here and this is one of the biggest challenges you have faced? certainly, if we go back to the foot and mouth saga and i can re call the foot and mouth saga and i can recall in 1967 when everything was wiped out. things have moved on, science has moved on. we are happy plumpton to put this back on today, we routinely disinfect our stables

after every meeting, they are thoroughly cleaned afterwards. they have been thoroughly cleaned again after this incident and we have put some hand sanitiser is in the stable ya rd some hand sanitiser is in the stable yard for the staff to use. so lots of safety measures, but for visitors, is there any difference for people who want to come along today? no, going back to the foot and mouth saga, when we had footpaths at the entrances, there is no extra precautions at the gates for customers, but we are very conscious of this and we want to do what we need to do today. thank you both, this is one of the races taking place today. there are still officials here, but at least they are getting back on course. lots of

people will be happy. i forgot to mention, you like scones? i have cream first but you allegedly have jam, you can't remember. i don't really mind, ijust love scones. there is an interesting piece in the papers. the debate, the jam first, cream second. now they are talking about how fattening they are. 1000 calories! how big is it? it isa are. 1000 calories! how big is it? it is a whopper but it has butter, jam and cream and it is close to half your recommended daily intake of calories. these things are not helpful because there is nothing wrong with scones. just vary things around to make sure you can enjoy them. have as much jam and cream as you like on occasions. we will be

remembering gordon banks. how gardening can help transform the lives of young people. graham satchell is at a school in norfolk. good morning. they are pruning an apple tree this morning. the school has won the royal horticultural society garden of the year and we will be finding out how the children will be finding out how the children will be finding out how the children will be learning about the environment, sustainability, where food comes from and all that stuff. at first, time for the news, travel and weather where you are this morning. good news for most parts of the british isles about the weather over the next few days, staying

exceptionally mild for the time of year, and for most of us, pleasant. for that combination we must thank the airof high for that combination we must thank the air of high pressure over central europe, coming from way down south, a long sea track, cloudy across the british isles and producing a fair bit of rain to start off the day. but, come the afternoon, things will begin to dry up, cloudy, breezy, across northern and western parts, but at least with the breeze coming out of the south—west it will not be cold, many of us into double figures with the seasonal average in single figures. we will see single figures across the greater part of the british isles, especially across the southern areas overnight, skies will stay clear. that will not be the case with the new weather front getting into the north—west, nine, ten is a night—time minimum. as we get on into thursday, the overall pattern is not changing, weather front close by, to the very far

north of scotland, elsewhere, with the breeze at this stage coming in from the south, it is going to be a glorious day for the time of year, a lot of sunshine around, a lot of dry weather, and temperatures really responding. somebody, somewhere, will see 40, maybe even a little bit more. “— will see 40, maybe even a little bit more. —— 14. thursday into friday, high—pressure moving east on the continent, so, that will eventually allow the weather front to topple in some cloud and potentially some rain into the far north—west of scotland through the western isles and may be late into the day into the western side of northern ireland. elsewhere, another glorious day. business life from the bbc with sally bunn doc. and ben thompson. british business being hung out to dry by the continued uncertainty over dry by the continued uncertainty over "brexit". continued concerns from a business group. -- sally

bundock. we are live and we are from london. the british chambers of commerce demands more clarity from the uk government on key unresolved questions with just 45 days to go until the uk is due to leave the european union. also in the programme, the markets get a boost as president trump says he may let his deadline of march one for a
