this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 8. the eyes to the right, 258. ooh. the noes to left, 303. yeah! the governement has suffered another defeat over its brexit strategy — theresa may's motion had asked mps to support its approach to leaving the eu — it was defeated by 45 votes. it's the tenth time the government has been defeated in parliament on brexit — downing street had earlier warned that a defeat could damage the prime minister's negotiating position. the government cannot keep on ignoring parliament or ploughing on towards the 29th of march without a coherent plan. hear, hear! the prime minister has been dealt another body blow. this is, this is really serious stuff. the government lost, but that does

not deflect or distract us from our top which is to try to land a deal with the european partners and try to get this across the line so we land a deal with the eu on the 29th of march. in other news. the teenager who wants to come home to britain afterjoining islamic state is told she could be prosecuted if she does return. the duke of edinburgh won't be prosecuted after his car crash in norfolk — the crown prosecution service says it wouldn't be in the public interest. and the number of patients treated in a and e hospitals in england within four hours last month was at its lowest since modern records began. hello there. that evening to you.

theresa may has suffered a major setback to her brexit plans this evening, after mps voted by 303 to 258 against the government. let's just show you the moment that result came in... order! order. the ayes to the right, 258. ooh. the noes to left, 303. yeah! conservative party brexiteers helped ensure the government defeat — by abstaining because they were opposed to taking no deal off the table. the upshot was that the government's motion ended up being defeated by 45 votes. labour leaderjeremy corbyn called on the prime minister to "admit her brexit strategy has failed". tonight's felt shows there is no

majority for the prime minister's course of action in dealing with brexit. hear, hear! yet again, her government has been defeated. the government cannot keep on ignoring parliament are ploughing on ignoring parliament are ploughing on towards the 29th of march without a coherent plan. hear, hear! she cannot keep on just running down the clock. and hoping that something will turn up that will save her day and save her face. will turn up that will save her day and save herface. so it is surprising that the prime minister is not even here to hear the results of this vote. so, mr speaker, is not even here to hear the results of this vote. so, mrspeaker, i is not even here to hear the results of this vote. so, mr speaker, i was going to ask her to come to the dispatch box now and admit that her strategy has failed. hear, hear! and come forward, bring forward to the house a coherent plan, a coherent plan that can deal with the stresses and anxieties that so many

people all over this country are feeling second bank brought to this house so that we can make some progress forward together, to bring people together and prevent the catastrophe of a no deal exit on the 29th of march. it is surprising, as isaid, mr 29th of march. it is surprising, as i said, mr speaker, 29th of march. it is surprising, as isaid, mrspeaker, the 29th of march. it is surprising, as i said, mr speaker, the prime minister is not healed. if there some way by which you can encourage her to return to the dispatch box and tell us what the plan actually is? downing street issued a statement in response following the result of that vote in the commons. it says... let's cross to westminster now where our political correspondent

ben wright has more. government defeats like this are being routine in westminster these days. this was a defeat for the government, 67 tories abstained and another five actually voted against the government on this motion. the vast majority of conservative mps who decided the government lips were members of the eig, euro sceptics who did not like this motion because they felt it did not sufficiently rule out a no—deal brexit. but a handful too of pro remain tories who added to this rebellion against the government. so another bad night for theresa may. no question about that.

this motion was symbolic, it doesn't really change very much but it shows the fragility of her authority. also it reveals i thought behind the scenes in the corridors and afterwards be real anger that now exists within the tory party between members of the erg and the mainstream middle, many of whom want to get over the line and those who wa nt to get over the line and those who want another referendum. this is com pletely want another referendum. this is completely fracturing the tory party. one of those tory mps would like to see another referendum and this is what she had to say after the vote. we have the conservative party, a party of business and economic competence and prosperity gambling with the real—life side of my constituents. their futures, theirjobs,

the children, the grandchildren. their futures. gambling in this prophetic gain of brinkmanship. knowing in the full knowledge of the devastations of secretary, if business put it, it would be ruinous. that is the secretary of state for business saying no deal would be ruinous. and then another member of cabinet stands up and basically says yeah, and we are up for it. this is outrageous! and from the conservative party in particular, it is not acceptable any longer. so in two weeks' time, everybody has got to show some backbone, stop saying stuff in private and start doing it in public. resign if you need to resign, but getting to those votes, take back control of this brexit process. put the country first. why is she talking about two weeks' time? on the 22nd of february that is when the 22nd of february that is when the government has set that will be another vote, either on the deal bringing it back for a parliamentary vote on the meaningful vote on a deal that the prime minister is helping to tweak with eu leaders are on another motion that will be amendable. it also looks very likely that will be the moment that yvette cooper tries again to reintroduce an amended paving the way for a bill

that could potentially close off a no—deal brexit. that will be a very big moment. my sense is talking to some ministers and tory mps today that support for that is really heartening and has hardened as a result of this evening. james cleverly is tory party chairman. he said it will still likely that the government would in the indicated a deal through. the government lost, but that does not deflect us or distract us from trying to get this deal through on the 29th of march. it wasn't said to be on the scale of the humiliation suffered in january. i think it is always difficult losing votes, but we have got to get a sense of the big picture. what the house of commons voted at the end of last month with the brady amendment was

that a month with the brady amendment was thata numberof month with the brady amendment was that a number of conservative mps wanted to focus on this issue of the backstop, they wanted the eu to get something on the backstop. and that there was a majority if the eu did to get something on the backstop, to get a deal and to vote for the deal and eu in a timely and manner. what happened today was that a number of those colleagues who supported the brady amendment have said that they don't want to take no deal off the table because the motion that the government lost essentially welcomed what happened in the end ofjanuary. and said that we welcome both the spell on amendment of that time and the amendment. the government lost, but that doesn't deflect or distract us but that doesn't deflect or distract us from our top which is to try and land a deal to negotiate with the eu partners and to get this deal through the line, across the line so that we meet the eu on the 29th of march. a flavour there of a reaction to that commons defeat for theresa may.

i think by our accounts it is the tenth defeat she has suffered over brexit in the comments. but if its significance. how damaging is this particular defeat for her and for downing street? i think there were sort of expecting it. they didn't really treat this motion terribly, but they didn't think it was a serious for instance as the meaningful vote on the deal itself. it is awkward, it complicates the message that theresa may is trying to ta ke message that theresa may is trying to take to the eu. but she is saying this is the state of parliament and this is the state of parliament and this is the state of parliament and this is what you have got to do to help me get a deal of parliament and this is what you have got to do to help me get a deal over the line. yet again this muddies the message the prime minister is taking to brussels. but i think the real significance is it exposes again the really raw tempers and sharp fractures within the tory party now. the theory that i think the majority of tory np catholic the erg group, who i think many feeljust need to get on board and vote for a deal hang get brexit to happen. i think there is great anger with him but

one of the main consequences from tonight as it was hard in the view from ministers to try and close the no—deal brexit. which i feel is increasingly likely with every day that passes. i'll map it will close that passes. i'll map it will close that off in two weeks' time. that is going to be the next parliamentary moment. ) the statement we were reading earlier on. putting the blame on jeremy corbyn on either the erg are the conservative wing of the party. as you expect. but i think it is the recriminations within the tory party which are really interesting at the moment. not to sayjeremy corbyn does not have its own problems and there are real tensions on his side too about how to handle the next two weeks, where to handle the next two weeks, where to position the labour party around certainly yvette cooper and they meant when it comes in two weeks' time. is he going to bear down on his own front benches and his own backbenchers who decide not to vote for that? he gave a bit of a free pass to them last time. even though

the labour front vents with in favour of the cooper amendment. this is really going to come to a head. for both party leaders, the divisions on their own side are going to be really cute and fascinating to watch in two weeks' time. i think that is the showdown moment. people watching this will be thinking hang on a minute, we are supposed to be leaving on march 29. 40 supposed to be leaving on march 29. a0 odd days. supposed to be leaving on march 29. 40 odd days. in your view then, two weeks' time is on this is going to be absolutely critical? he feels that that to me is the moment that we have talked for a long time of the parliament taking some control over this process. if it is going to happen at all, it will happen then. if theresa may still has not managed to get a dealfor if theresa may still has not managed to get a deal for parliament. if theresa may still has not managed to get a dealfor parliament. as it looks at the moment, i think there isa looks at the moment, i think there is a lot of skepticism about whether she can secure anything like the sort of changes that she has promised, legally binding adjustments to the withdrawal agreement. that are going to be enough to defuse the opposition on her own side. to get those erg,

euro—phobic members of the party on her side. at the moment they are not and quite happy to vote against their own government. thank you for all that analysis. our political correspondent there at westminister, following all the latest and if that commons defeat there in the house of commons. 0ur europe editor... katya adler, told katy kay a little earlier that leaders in brussels think tonight's defeat of theresa may just shows how weak her negotiating postion on brexit really is. they've kept saying to the prime minister over over and over in these last weeks — if you ask for us to change something in this brexit deal then you have to be able to demonstrate to us credibly that you have the majority of mps behind you. notjust two or three, just in order to get this deal past, but enough mps behind you that you can get all the legislation passed that will be necessary in order to get this deal really through parliament. and tonight the eu just sees that she doesn't have, that is what they believe to see

tonight, that see more reason to push the prime minister hard on this to demonstrate that she has a majority. they will also see the factor that a certain amount of conservative mps abstain from this vote, as we just heard it there. those who feel that no—deal was off the table and this motion and they don't like that. it is these mps that the eu points to and says you'll never satisfy them, prime minister. so the eu thinks if we move now, this is brussels speaking, if we get something now then the prime minister always tries to appease those who are seen as more hard—line in her party, then that will mean she'll be coming back again and again and again to brussels. and the eu wants to avoid that. they want to settle this in one

stroke it, if you like. that is why the wisdom here that we are definitely looking at march. and very possibly, that eu summit summit on the 21st of march where there will be this all—nighter. and where things will move or not. so the risk of a no deal coming out of this is seen here as uncomfortably high. the headlines on bbc news... the governement has suffered another defeat over its brexit strategy — theresa may's motion had asked mps to support its approach to leaving the eu. a british teenager who ran away to join the islamic state group four years ago — and wants to return to the uk — has been told she could face legal action if she comes back. the duke of edinburgh won't face prosecution after his car crash in norfolk — the crown prosecution service says it's not in the public interest. sport now. and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. high. it is a long road for those sites and they season's europa

league especially for arsenal after they saw a rather disappointing first leg defeat this evening. a goaljust first leg defeat this evening. a goal just before first leg defeat this evening. a goaljust before half—time was enough to claim the victory. their first ever over an english site at home in european competition. arsenal thought that an equaliser —— and that it had equalised after the break only for alexandre lacazette's go to be ruled out for all sites. in his evening went from bad to worse. he was sent off late on. and he will miss the second leg after the emirates thursday. an action this evening, chelsea helping to get over that last week. insulating currently 0-0. that last week. insulating currently 0—0. celtic also hoping to avoid a first defeat of the year. a bitter fight on their hands. spanish giants valencia, no goals and tracking either. 50 minutes into both those games. former manchester united coach eric harrison will be remembered for his morals off the pitch — as well

as his success on it. that's according to the club's former first team coach rene meulensteen following harrison's death at the age of 81. harrison is credited with developing the talents of manchester united's class of 92, including david beckham, paul scholes and the neville brothers, as well as leading united to fa youth cup victories in 1992 and 1995. if you are here, going to post goals, they all speak very, very highly about him as a coach. 0ne goals, they all speak very, very highly about him as a coach. one of the things that stands out is that values that he had. that he wanted all those players to adhere to. on and off the pitch. and that has been basically said, you know, the line throughout the manchester academy for many, many years after that. the lawyers representing caster semenya says she is "unquestionably a woman" ahead of a court case against athletics' governing body next week. the south african middle distance runner has a disorder of sex development

and is challenging a proposed iaaf rule that aims to restrict the levels of testosterone in female runners. the case will be heard at the court of arbitration for sport next week. the iaaf issued a statement last night denying one media report that it wanted to call semenya a ‘biological male. the draw has been made for the newly revamped davis cup finals in november with great britain avoiding some of the big names thanks to their recent record in the competition — winning it back in 2015. there they are in group e at the bottom. they'll play kazakhstan and the netherlands in madrid. the top teams out of each group and the best two second placed nations with qualify for the knockouts. former spain and barcelona footballer gerard pique is part of the investment group behind the competition's relaunch. mclaren are the latest team to unveil their new car, ahead of the upcoming formula one season,

the mcl34 was presented at the mclaren headquarters in woking today. the car will debut on the track at next week's pre—season testing in barcelona. mclaren have an all—new driver line—up for the new season, with carlos sainz, who joined them by renault, being partnered by 19—year—old briton lando norris being the youngest ever british driver in formula 1 is quite a saying, but i don't think it is going to put any pressure on me to be honest. it is not something i actually need to begin with, so it's not something i think about. i think it's more of an opportunity, really, to think of hopefully having a long future ahead of me with mclaren. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at half past ten. thank you. a british teenager who says she has

no regrets about running away to syria to join the islamic state group in 2015 has been told she could face prosecution if she tries to come home. 19—year—old shamima begum says she's nine months pregnant and wants to come home for the sake of her baby. she was one of three schoolgirls who disappeared from east london when she was 15. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford reports. still streaming across the desert from the last speck of territory held by the islamic state group, the women and children of is, some of whom had been willing participants in the dying caliphate and had travelled from across the world to join it. many are heading for this camp in northern syria, where yesterday shamima begum, one of the bethnal green girls, reappeared after almost four years. she had travelled to syria from london with two school friends, one of whom is dead. she was married at 15, had and lost two children, saw oppression and brutality, but says going to join

is was the right decision. do you think this is the end of the caliphate? she left the uk for syria in 2015, arriving in the is stronghold raqqa soon afterwards. she married a 27—year—old dutch convert. but two years later, she left raqqa for mayadin as kurdish forces advanced. she had a daughter. the next year she had a son who died in november, after which she moved again to baghuz. last month her daughter also died. grief—stricken and pregnant again she fled baghuz for a refugee camp. her husband surrendered. did you ever see executions? in the bins?

what was that like, when you first saw that? these are the heads of captives? she told the times her school friend, amira abase, was also still alive two weeks ago. amira abase's father, who thought until today that she might be dead, now wants the british government to try to bring the girls home. he says they were young teenagers who shouldn't be punished for their mistakes, and he would go and get her himself if he could. never stay one—minute here if i can go and fly there to see her. and when you see her, what would you say to her? i don't know... today the home office said that anyone who's been involved in the conflict in syria can expect to be investigated by the police on their return to check if they've committed any criminal offence and to ensure that they don't pose a risk to national security. if you have been out

there, against the advice of the foreign office, to go and engage in support or activities of terrorism, you should be prepared to be, if you come back, prepare to be questioned, investigated and potentially prosecuted for committing terrorist offences. shiraz maher, who's been studying is since 2014, says even teenage girls were helping the murderous caliphate. just by virtue of being there, they were building a kind of critical mass on the ground. they were having these children, who were believed to be and called the so—called cubs of the caliphate, that they would go on to be future fighters. from my point of view she was a young child when she was groomed by isis, and seduced by some twisted form of empowerment for muslims. but it's not as simple as, you know, a brainwashed jihadi bride, so that needs to be taken into consideration. and as is fights its last battle, the arguments about what to do with its supporters are going

to intensify over the next few months. daniel sandford, bbc news. welljoining me now is dr katherine brown, senior lecturer in islamic studies at the university of birmingham. thank you for being with us. some people will say that she chose to leave britain, she chose to turn her back on britain and go to the so—called islamic state. why should britain feel obliged to take her back? i think there is one simple a nswer back? i think there is one simple answer which is international law and our requirement to uphold international human rights, which are partand international human rights, which are part and parcel of our british values. they say that you cannot render someone stateless. that means asa render someone stateless. that means as a british citizen, she has a right to return back to the uk and face justice and the consequences of her actions, but nevertheless as a british citizen and as part of our

british citizen and as part of our british values upholding her human rights and showing that we are better than the terrorists who do not, is one of the main reasons why she should be allowed to return home and as appropriate face justice. some theories watching this might say she could potentially be dangerous. she may have been brainwashed. we need to take that into consideration. we need to look at how we can minimise any potential risk that she may pose. but we also need to be cautious about overhyping whatever threat we might fear from her. isis really want to sell the seeds of fear within our society. we can look at past examples of returnees and we can see that from past returnees, only one in 360 of those have ever carried out attacks backin those have ever carried out attacks back in their homelands afterwards. and even longer studied dating back to the 1980s, write the way through two 2010, shows that less than 11% of those returning home attempt to carry out any act of violence when they return home. so we can minimise

they return home. so we can minimise the risks, also need to put it into perspective and work with her to see what might be the most appropriate way in responding to her should she return. do you think she could be in some way to rehabilitate into british society? i think if you look at one if the foundational principles of our legal system, it is on this basis that everyone has the potential to be rehabilitated and reintegrated. ithink the potential to be rehabilitated and reintegrated. i think those processes , and reintegrated. i think those processes, and we have examples of them in the past, we can look at northern ireland for example, but we can also look at contemporary exa m ples can also look at contemporary examples from bulk of her around, to auch about or even far right movements, the exit programmes that run in germany and scandinavia, we can use those as examples for successfully reintegrating former members of extremist groups. we have a track record of doing that. so yes, it is possible. it can be organised. i think that we can demonstrate that we are stronger than these organisations by considering this and finding an

appropriate way for her to return home. might also be important to talk to her and try to understand her mindset when was 15, how she was radicalised to the extent that she not only sympathised with islamic state, but she ran away from home from britain and syria tojoin? absolutely. it is oversimplified to say that she was brainwashed or duped orfell say that she was brainwashed or duped or fell in love say that she was brainwashed or duped orfell in love in a say that she was brainwashed or duped or fell in love in a sexually groomed of whatever online. we need to understand her pathway. there is no common or standard route into joining terrorist organisations are becoming radicalised, just as there is no one way of leaving a group. so yes, we need to look at why she did it, how she did it. we can learn from that. and from that understand as well what package can best be put into place to ensure that she doesn't do it again. thank you very much. senior lecturer and islamic studies at the university of birmingham. thank you. thank you. the duke of edinburgh will not be prosecuted over his car crash last month in norfolk.

the duke, who is 97, gave up his driving licence following the accident in which his land rover collided with another vehicle. the crown prosecution service says it's decided further action isn't in the public interest. from buckingham palace, our royal correspondent, jonny dymond has the latest. no doubt something of a relief for the duke of edinburgh and for the royal family as the crown prosecution service decides and announces it is going to take no further action. it said it had looked at the circumstances of that crash — the crash that took place almost a month ago and left two people with minor injuries and the duke severely shaken after his car in return. in particular it looked like the level of culpability, how much the duke was to blame, the age of the duke — as you say he is 97 — and the fact that as he said he surrendered his

driving licence on saturday. the duke came in for some criticism, not for the first time in decades of service for the way he acted after the crash — driving so quickly after the crash and being seen without a seat belt in the public road and taking his time to get in touch with the victims. so for buckingham palace, the announcement of the crown prosecution service will come as a relief, as well a chance to draw a line under the whole thing. almost 330,000 patients waited longer than they should have to be seen at a&e departments in england last month — with waiting times at their worst level since the four hour target was introduced in 2004. and hospitals have been reporting significant problems finding beds for those needing to be kept in for treatment. 0ur health editor hugh pym reports. i'm taking some blood. dion is one of the increasing number of patients who have been going in to a&e. she had severe stomach pains. i couldn't get an appointment at my own gp. they said you won't get one for three weeks so i was really, you know, sort of panicking a bit. the pressures are even more intense than last winter. 84.4% of patients were seen or treated in a&e within four hours last month, the lowest in 15 years. there were 564,000 emergency

admissions of patients to hospitals, a record high, up more than 7% from last january. i think we are in, the same as last year, a full—blown crisis. we've got even more patients coming through our front doors, more than last year, more than last month. performance is tailing off month by month, our hospitals are just as full as they ever have been, in fact fuller this month than they ever have been before. the strains on the nhs are the same around the uk, though england a&e‘s performance was behind scotland, but ahead of wales and northern ireland based on the latest data. flu cases aren't as high as last year, there hasn't been so much cold weather. winter is far from over and nobody on the front line of the nhs is taking anything for granted about what the next few months may bring. we're the sort of canary in the mine, when the pressure is across the whole system, you see it most acutely in emergency department. dr ali sanders and her team

at charing cross hospital have eased the pressure by filtering off more patients who can be tested and treated quickly. we have really grown our ambulatory care, our same—day emergency care service, which sees a lot of patients that in the old days would have gone both through the emergency department and into the main hospital before their condition was identified and treated. thanks to this scheme, dion is quickly seen, tested and cleared to go home. it's been quite good. i've been quite surprised really to be seen by a doctor within two hours. i'm afraid at the moment we haven't got any beds available on the unit. but across the system, despite their best attempts, hospitals are close to the edge as they try to cope with the relentless increase in patient numbers. hugh pym, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening. blue sky and sunshine was the story of the day for many parts of the uk.

that sent temperatures heading upwards. we keep clear skies through the night. perhaps some fog patches again through parts at the midlands, east wales down into southern england. quite breezy up to the northwest. here temperatures will hold up quite nicely. elsewhere, after those high temperatures today, the nights are still quite long at this time of year so we can still drop all the way down to freezing or even a touch below. a touch of frost for some of us tomorrow morning. also some of these fog patches across central and southern areas. for many, it is another sunny day to come tomorrow. quite a breezy one. we will see more cloud into northern ireland and western scotland. those temperatures once again heading upwards, most places between 12—14d. one or two spots just like today could get to 15 or 16 degrees. as we look ahead to the weekend, well, there is more fine weather on the way. it will stay mild. dry for many. often quite cloudy. we are likely to see a little bit of rain at times in the west. hello this is bbc news.

the headlines. the eyes to the government has suffered another defeat over its brexit strategy — theresa may's motion had asked mps to support its approach to leaving the eu — it was defeated by 45 votes. it's the tenth time the government has been defeated in parliament on brexit — downing street had earlier warned that a defeat could damage the prime minister's negotiating position. the government cannot keep on ignoring parliament or ploughing onto towards the 29th of march without a coherent plan. a british teenager who ran away to join the islamic state group four years ago — and wants to return to the uk — has been told she could face prosecution if she comes back. after his car crash in norfork,

prosecution service says it is not in the public interest. and the number of patients treated an accident and emergency units in england within four hours was at its lowest since modern records began. more now on one of our top stories. one of the three schoolgirls from east london, who travelled to syria in 2015 to join the islamic state group, wants to return to britain. shamima begum spoke from a refugee camp in the north of the country. it's raised questions about how to tackle radicalisation of young women back here. ayshea buksh reports from tower hamlets. three girls led to war—torn syria

and now claims she wants to return home. a counsellor where they lived and believes she was a victim of grooming but should face the consequences of her actions. for the community, it is a huge question of why are you not regretting why are you not showing remorse what you did? should be asking social workers and particularly young women, grooming over the internet is something that is very dangerous and this is a similar prospect of grooming young women in making them feel like it is a romantic situation that they are in syria. mainly, muslim women from different backgrounds. after surviving london for, she dedicated her life to tackling extremism. for many years,

she rana tackling extremism. for many years, she ran a programme educating muslim mothers about online radicalisation until her funding pull mothers about online radicalisation until herfunding pull it by mothers about online radicalisation until her funding pull it by the home office. continue, they are the ones who very often spot the first sign. and the council says they did have a duty of care towards her but continue to work with schools to protect youngsters at risk of radicalisation. the have very mixed feelings about this and we need to show the british government that we listen to people but we are not going to put up with the intolerant messages behind some of what's been going on. the muslim community here in east london is varied and diverse and those attracted to an extremist ideology would be regarded as a minority, but those working within the community believe that young people who may be at risk and their families may recognise it and stand up families may recognise it and stand up to it. breaking news, and the

long—running disagreement with donald trump and his border wall of mexico the white house is saying that president trump will sign a bill and declare a national emergency. the white house is saying that he will sign a spending bill that he will sign a spending bill that converts a government shutdown, but will also issue an emergency declaration to fund his border wall with mexico, the senate majority leader said that he spoke with him by phone who indicated he is prepared to sign that bill in order to avoid another partial us government shutdown, but will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. that would be quite a rare step to

declare such an emergency that would free the president seek to redirect federal funds from elsewhere free the president seek to redirect federalfunds from elsewhere in order to help pay for that very controversial border wall of mexico that of course is one of his key campaign promises, one of his most popular promises in the minds of many voters, but if he does do that, it is expected that it will be challenged in the courts of the united states. interesting developments there, we'll keep you posted as more details come in. militants in indian—administered kashmir have driven a truck packed with explosives into a convoy of vehicles, killing at least forty members of the indian security forces. dozens more were injured, in one of the deadliest attacks in the region for decades. a pakistan—based militant group has claimed repsonsibility. sangita myska has more. the attack took place just after three o'clock this afternoon. about 20 km outside of the state capital. a convoy of 70 security force vehicles was travelling along

the highway when a militant and an suv that was packed with in an suv that was packed with explosives drift straight into it. we understand there are two and a half thousand military personnel in that convoy. so far, we have a confirmed number in dead at 34. already the militant group have claimed responsibility please identify the suicide bomber as a local man who joined the group last year. the militant organisation is based in pakistan and has been operating in kashmir since around 2000. authorities say it was also responsible for an attack on a military camp in 2016 in which 17 soldiers were killed. this attack has all the marks of a carefully planned operation. the highway in which it happened is the only link between the kashmir valley and the rest of india and undergoes regular security checks. it is now being sealed off, an investigation is under way. the indian prime minister has

described the attack as dastardly and those who died as martyrs. a heroin addict has been handed a 15—year prison sentence for killing a one hundred—year—old nazi prison camp survivor in a street robbery last may. artur waskey—eh—vitch attacked sofia catch—an as she was walking to church — knocking her to the ground and snatching her handbag. she died a month later after suffering multiple injuries. emily anderson reports it's the world's largest passenger aircraft — and it cost almost 20 billion pounds to develop. but airbus has pulled the plug on its a380 superjumbo, which entered service just 12 years ago. the last deliveries of the plane will be made in 2021. it has faced fierce competition from smaller, more efficient aircraft — and has never made a profit. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. when it first took to the skies,

the a380 was billed as the future of long haul air travel. a double—decker superjumbo carrying more than 500 passengers, but today, just 13 years after its launch, airbus has called it a day. i think what we are seeing here is the end of the large four—engine aircraft, and that's what it is. i mean there has been speculation for years whether we were ten years too early with a380. i think it becomes clear that we were probably at least ten years too late. passengers loved it — so much room. the a380 was designed to carry large numbers of people between heavily—congested hub airports like london, dubai and singapore, but smaller, more fuel—efficient planes were already coming along, easier for airlines to fill. what's happening now is that the way we fly has changed.

we all want to fly from our local airport and the modern twin—engined aircraft allow us to do that. we can bypass the hubs. demand for this plane never really took off. its largest customer, emirates, has scaled back orders for new a380s, sealing this jumbo jet‘s fate. production will now end in two years' time. its wings are made in the uk, mostly at airbus's huge site here at broughton in north wales. several hundred staff will be affected but the hope is many will be redeployed to other, more popular models. i've onlyjust heard about it this morning. that's all i can say really. quite sad really. there's nothing we can do about it. the a380 will still be in the skies for years to come, technically brilliant but too expensive for many airlines. a jumbo project which ultimately never made a profit

but will still earn its place in aviation history. some quite dramatic developments there on the border wall with mexico, he is now saying that he will sign the government funding bill that would avert another partial us government shutdown, but the same time, he's going to declare a national emergency in order to try to pay for that border wall with mexico that was one of his key campaign promises. the democrats have reacted to this with fury and nancy pelosi speaker of the house saying that it would be challenged and set a precedent, setting a precedent with an emergency

declaration that should be met with great unease and dismayed by republicans because she says the democrat presidents could also declare national emergencies as well. let's go to anthony of north america, who the latest on this, is this one way that he hopes he can pay for his wall? i think that seems to be the way out of this fix that he had found himself in with the shut down because he was not getting his full wall funding from congress, he'd asked for about $6 billion and it looked like he is only going to get over $1 billion in wall funding about 50 miles worth of new wall, in order to find a way of victory to say that the walls can be built, he was looking around for other means, the national emergency which put in some provisions of legislation to allow sin to redirect money, military money from other sources to

help pay for what he sees as a national emergency, that was one of the options floated, several other pools of money could draw from that are probably going to be including whatever pronouncement he has in signing this bill to keep the federal government open. but the reality is, as you mentioned, this is going to be challenged in court and their concerns among republicans over the past month or so since the emergency id had been floated, that this is something that democrats could use as well and this is money that could be used and authorised by congress for other purposes, there are people in congress who wanted to go to whatever direction they originally allocated and there are a lot of legislators who don't like the idea of a president being able to step in and say there is an emergency and redirect these funds somewhere else even if it's something that they may believe in. a statement from sarah sanders at

the white house saying that the president has once again delivering on his promise to build a wall to protect the border and secure our great country. is this declaration just upping the ante and his battle with the democrats? it's going to anger the democrats, that is clear from nancy pelosi's statement that they do not like the idea that he is bypassing them. it can concern some republicans legislators as well. if you look closely at the statement from sarah huckabee sanders, the key is that delivering on a promise, donald trump needs a way to point to his base, the people who voted for him who listen to him on the campaign trail, talk about building a border wall, they needed some way he could declare victory when it was clear that congress, now that is partially controlled by democrats was not going to give him that victory. at the rally in el paso

earlier this week, they had that big banner saying finish the wall, this isa banner saying finish the wall, this is a concerted effort by the donald trump administration to say that he is delivering on that promise that is delivering on that promise that is already being built and it's going to be built even bigger than it is now, and looking ahead to the 2020 presidential campaign when people slam them for not delivering on any of his campaign promises, he can counter that and say that he has. so this is all about him paving the way for his reelection campaign or what he hopes is his reelection campaign ina or what he hopes is his reelection campaign in a couple of years' time? member in december donald trump was going to sign a temporary government funded bill that did not have any kind of wall funding in it, the senate had already passed unanimously and it was going to the house and then the president heard from his base saying that's not what was acceptable, now you have to fight for the wall and get us something that you promised and i

was when donald trump changed course and said that he would not accept any sort of government funding bill that didn't include wall money in it and that prompted this more than a month long government shutdown that had temporarily been resolved for three weeks and i looks like it will be formally resolved for the rest of the fiscal year going into october, but the reality was being pressured by his base to show some sign that he was accomplishing his goal and then running into a brick wall so to speak in congress, he had to find another way to say, look, i'm delivering on this campaign promise because he needs, the people who turned out form in 2016 to support them in 2020, and it's a lot harder for them to welcome the build a wall chance when he will have had three yea rs chance when he will have had three years to deliver on it without any real evidence. so obviously, the wall popular with his base, but what about around the country generally? what is the polling evidence, how worried are voters in general about

whether or not the wall is built? polling has consistently shown that the american public does not really ca re the american public does not really care about the wall that it is not a priority for them, you see a majority of high 50s and low 60% not interested in building any kind of border wall or additional border wall, generally the idea of immigration and border security, but the reality is that for many americans, donald trump's call for border wall is viewed as part of a large anti—immigration drive in that it represents an anti—immigration outlook that is become very polarising issue. conservatives point out in the past repeatedly over the past few months, democrats have supported wall funding in the past, they voted for in the past but i was before donald trump adopted at the core of his presidential

campaign in 2016, made it this kind of icon for his views on the risks of icon for his views on the risks of immigration and that essentially turned many americans off of the idea and made it very difficult for democrats in general to support any kind of additional wall funding. thank you very much for bringing us the very latest on this developing story in washington. saying that he will sign a border security bill to avert a government shutdown. a government shutdown — and he'll also declare a national emergency to fund his wall. the governement has suffered another defeat over its brexit strategy — theresa may's motion had asked mps to support its approach to leaving the eu. a british teenager who ran away to join the islamic state group four years ago — and wants to return to the uk — has been told she could face legal action if she comes back. an update on the market numbers for you — here's how london's and frankfurt ended the day.

and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. ftse 100 dax dow nasdaq> mayors and city leaders from across the uk are calling on the government to do more to tackle poor air quality. at an air pollution summit in london, the group demanded that one—and—a—half—billion pounds should be spent to encourage people to scrap polluting cars, and use public transport. the london mayor, sadiq khan, announced he's to double funding to help some drivers to replace their older vehicles. karl mercer reports. thank you so much. it's a well practised routine for london's mayor. best for last. and it's a well rehearsed message on london's air quality. you asked me to do that, does it lead to any pollution happening at all? today, he joined mayors from around the country to call for government money to help people scrap their polluting ca rs. you may not of heard of the city, it's called manchester.

manchester, come on. he's pledged nearly £50 million of city hall money for low income families and businesses with less than ten employees to do just that. do you know how much these businesses are going to get for each van they trade in? that's what they really want to know. yes, that's what i'm announcing next week. we've more than doubled the package to help the poorest families and their vehicles and if there are green alternatives, will help them get green alternatives. they won't be helped for slightly bigger companies when the ultralow emissions zone in central london starts in six weeks' time. this coach firm in north london faces mounting bills to make its fleet to comply with the new rules. retrofitting what we have to do to comply is its £100 per day, per vehicle. $18,000 per vehicle, which is a lot of money. back inside the conference, a message for the politicians from some schoolchildren. pollution is a big thing is mainly

caused by cars, factories and much, much more. clean air protects human health and reduces the risk of human illnesses such as asthma and lung disease. we are the next generation of people, we are the people who will rule the earth eventually. i would like to be the one to step up and spread the word about pollution, thank you. joining the mayors and the schoolchildren was environment secretary michael gove. the leaders will be asking for money from the government of {1.5 billion for scrapping steam something to consider? we want to work together and were going to make sure that the treasury is loud and clear the united course on behalf of everyone here that we need to do even more in order to make sure that our air is healthy

and clean, particularly as i save children. is that a yes or no to the 1.5 billion? we're going to have a discussion about precisely what we can achieve together? i thought that was a yes. the queen has marked the centenary of the intelligence agency gchq - by visiting its original home in central london. when it first opened watergate house was known as the ‘government code and cypher school‘ and was a top secret location. 0ur royal correspondent sarah campbell reports. back to work for the queen after her winter break. it was here, in 1919, that gchq was formed, an organisation which, over the years, has quietly gone about its business of keeping britain safe. i'm honoured, your majesty, to ask you to unveil the plaque. today, a royal unveiling, making public this london building's secret past. then known as the government code and cypher school,

it changed its name to the more mysterious gchq and relocated to bletchley park. it was there, during the second world war, that code breakers cracked the germans' enigma machine, revealing messages which would prove crucial in winning the war. 92—year—old ruth bourne was one of those secretly working for gchq. you were at bletchley park, were you? today, she was able to share stories about her work with a fellow 92—year—old. back then she could tell no—one. i think it was clever, psychologically, that we didn't know how important it was. we were straight out of sixth form. had we known, it would have been so much more difficult to keep a secret. recruiting the next generation of cyber experts is a priority. these berkshire schoolgirls mightjust be among them, as they won a gchq—run competition testing computing and coding skills. i didn't realise how much i liked it until i did the competition.

i've been to all these cool events, and it's really inspired me to do it. so, worth winning the competition to meet the queen? that's pretty impressive, as a prize? yeah, definitely. and any budding codebreakers can test their skills on a newly placed plaque, which contains not one, but two messages hidden in code. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. it has been too bad at all, valentine's day has been the warmest valentine's day has been the warmest valentine's day has been the warmest valentine's day and 21 years. it was easy to fall in love with views like these, this salad looks in west wells, not too far away, to 16.1 degrees and plenty of other places

not too far behind and i'll show you the average temperature this time of year, be expecting that these values are year, be expecting that these values a re pretty year, be expecting that these values are pretty impressive. a warm day today, but it will be a chilly night, because the nights are warm this time of year with clear skies with the heat radiating away. temperatures dipping pretty close to freezing or even a touch below in places, but also some fog patches in the midlands and east wells and some of those fog patches could be quite dense and slow to clear, but the fog and the stuff tomorrow, looks like a beautiful day with blue skies and sunshine, big cloudy in northern ireland later on, some patchy rain it will all be windy here, but those temperatures once again will be heading upwards through the day and you can see the yellow and even orange colours expanding across the chart, widely will be in the range of 11 to 14 degrees and he could get

up of 11 to 14 degrees and he could get up to 15 or16 of 11 to 14 degrees and he could get up to 15 or 16 degrees. as a going to fry it into the start of the week, the system has been a hail of a way out to the west, starting to get more progress, a weak affair, not bringing much more than a band of cloud and will be key for the weekend is the speed of southerly winds pumping that mild air in our direction, to sum up the weekend, we can see this, it will stay drive but many systems pushing and i will bring some rain at times across the west. this is saturday's chart, bring us an extra cloud towards the south and there will be generally be quite a lot of cloud on saturday, and northeast scotland, but temperatures above where they should be ten to 14 degrees and looking at the sunday, here is our next weather front, more for this one and other parts further east, we could see some spells of sunshine in this temperature is still above where

they should be 11 to 14 degrees. so after a very mild evening, a warm day this valentine's day, the spring will continue over the next few days. hello, this is 0utside source. we will start with a developing story in the us. the white house says president trump will declare a national emergency, in order to build a border wall. democrats say they make take legal action to stop the president using emergency powers. president trump is upping the ante despite agreeing to sign a budget agreed by both sides in congress. the british government has suffered another defeat in parliament, over brexit. theresa may's motion had asked mps to support its approach to leaving the eu. the opposition says the prime minister has failed. the government cannot keep on

ignoring parliament or ploughing wa nt to ignoring parliament or ploughing want to watch the 29th of march without a coherent plan. hear, hear!
