yesterday, some sunshine today, more cloud across the uk. details right here on breakfast. good morning. it's saturday 16th february. our top story. the family of shamima begum— who ran away to syria to join the so—called islamic state group four years ago — has urged the government to help bring her home. the 19—year—old, who is pregnant, says she wants to return to the uk for the sake of her unborn child. ben ando reports. al—hol refugee camp in northern syria, it's here shamima begum and hundreds of others have come after fleeing the imminent fall of the islamic state. now 19 and heavily pregnant, she may give birth at any moment. her family have appealed to the british government to get her home, saying in a statement... shamima left the uk four years ago with three friends.

in interviews now she seems unrepentant and the home secretary said he wants to block the return, though it's not certain he can. it is morally unacceptable to refuse her entry, as well is legally unacceptable, because otherwise she would be stateless and no person in the world can be stateless under the law. her family say she'd been brainwashed. and some believe that process can be reversed. we have worked over the last ten years with fairly hardline, violent extremists, who have announced their ideology, have remorse for their actions, and have taken part, actually, in helping others move away from extremist tendencies and violent ideologies. mi6 has warned that returnees can bring with them dangerous skills and shamima herself has said that she expects to face a police investigation and, possibly, terrorism charges. ben ando, bbc news. thousands of criminals will be monitored 2a hours a day

by new electronic tags that use satellite signals to track their exact location. the government says the scheme is designed to protect victims, and cut down the need for short—term jail sentences. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. we have gps technology in our cars and now smart phones. after 100 yards... now it's being used to track the movements of offenders and suspects on bail. this is a demonstration of how the satellite tags are fitted, using an expert who has helped set up the scheme. the ankle tag sends an alert if someone goes to an area they're banned from or isn't attending a rehabilitation course where they should be. beeping. it gives us very detailed information as to where that person potentially has been, where they've been tracked. it gives us evidence to be able to present to the relevant criminal justice agency to take that appropriate action. the offender satellite tracking has

been operating in three areas since last november. it'll be rolled out across england and wales by the summer. tags will monitor 4000 people every year. it'll be used in cases of domestic abuse and stalking to keep offenders away from victims. david blunkett was the first politician to trial satellite tracking, launching a scheme when he was home secretary 15 years ago. but progress stalled due to contractual disputes and technical problems. the government will be hoping it has more success this time. danny shaw, bbc news. the funeral of the footballer, emiliano sala, is being held in his home town in argentina. the 28—year—old striker died after the plane he was flying in crashed into the english channel as he was travelling to his new club, cardiff city. aisling mcveigh has more. a hometown hero returns too soon.

such a last minute. people thought that by now, because it was election day, they would wake of this morning and head to the polls. so they have taken to social media this morning, waking up to the news with absolute fury. people laugh furious, saying the national commission had four is to blame for these elections. many people have had to move somewhere else to vote —— people are furious. they have spent a loss of money, they have travelled for hours. they are very disappointed they not being able to vote. and those who haven't heard the news, the majority of nigerians to have access to the internet, so some have woken up this morning, head to the polls, thinking they could vote only to find that they could vote only to find that the polls have been delayed. mayeni jones, thank you very much. a 27—year—old man has been charged with the murder of three elderly men in exeter. the bodies of two 84—year—old twins and an 80—year—old man were found, less than 2a hours apart. alexander lewis—ra nwell from croyde in north devon will appear at exeter magistrates' court later. five people have been killed after a shooting at a factory in the american state of illinois.

the gunman was also killed during an exchange of fire with police in which five officers were wounded. the shooter has been named as 45—year—old gary martin, a former employee at the factory. one of britain's busiest railway lines will be closed for nine days from today, causing major disruption to passengers. network rail is carrying out major engineering work between three bridges and brighton, a stretch which it says is the cause of many delays. the route is used by 300,000 people a day. passengers are being warned that journeys will be "significantly longer" and trains will be much busier than usual. universities in england would face a clampdown on pay for senior staff under a labour government, according to the shadow education secretary. angela rayner will today tell the lecturer‘s union that the office for students, which regulates universities, is not "fit for purpose". she says vice—chancellors should not be paid a salary more than 20 times greater than the lowest earner. the organisers of the oscars say they've abandoned plans to present

four awards during the ceremony‘s ad breaks. the decision not to broadcast the winners of categories including cinematography and film editing prompted hundreds to sign a petition in protest. the 91st academy awards take place next sunday. matt is going to have all the weather for us shortly. but first... for many military veterans, returning to civilian life can be difficult, not least because of the mental scars that are left after spending time in a war zone. military charities have warned they are struggling to cope with the increasing demands on their mental health services. here's our defence correspondent jonathan beale. gary still has nightmares about his time in afghanistan. he did two tours of helmand and saw friends killed in combat. like many soldiers, gary has been left with visible scars, too. but his wound wasn't caused by bombs or bullets. he lost his leg after he fell on it.

he blacked out after self—medicating with drugs and alcohol. well, there was loads out there for me. but it doesn't come knocking on your door. i'm worse now than i've ever been, to tell you the truth, really. i'm really, really bad. i'm suicidal at the minute, so... gary is being helped by two other veterans who've set up a helpline for comrades in crisis. this is a message i got yesterday. a lady calling. i won't tell you the name. she's worried her grandson is about to take his own life. so david calls him. eventually, i got him on the phone. we had a long chat. i got him to come down from his crisis point. he needs to know that there are people out there who can help them. david and simon run courses for those who work and live with veterans. their focus is providing immediate support. the british military is exceptional in what it does in training people and moulding them into what they need to be for whatever role they choose to do. the same isn't done preparing people to become civilians again. for too many, help's come too late.

i never thought that he was suicidal, you know, i just thought that he was, you know, he couldn't sleep. they can see that somebody has, unfortunately, lost their limbs, or whatever, but with mental illness, it'sjust invisible. the ministry of defence is stepping up research, support and funding for vetera ns' mental health. but it's notjust about money, it's the system that needs fixing. jonathan beale, bbc news. we're joined now by claire wright and chris squires, who were both diagnosed with post—traumatic stress disorder when they left the forces. very good morning to you. good to see this morning. claye, take us through a little bit, i think we talk about it, ptsd, a lot more than we used to. but individually, for you, what was the impact it had on

you? i didn't really know what was happening to me. you kind of get branded as being different, try to hold down a job. people see you as being... you know, behavioural difficulties. people labelyou. you came out of a career in the military. what was your role and how long were you in the services?” joined the royal navy reserves when i was 17 and thought i would love to go in soi i was 17 and thought i would love to go in so ijoined full—time. all in all atjust short of eight years. my trade was helicopter mechanic. —— i did ita trade was helicopter mechanic. —— i did it a short. i spent 18 months at sea. i loved it. fantasticjob. and the problem is, how do they manifest themselves? not until later on, very much later on. it was trying to find out who i was, what was happening to me. i would get very angry. you know, i would just snap. with this after you left the force? after i

left the force. try to find a full—timejob. ijoined the emergency services, because i'm trying to replace that uniform, hinting that the camaraderie would be the same. but it is not quite the same. i have had sixjobs in the past nine years, which is quite a lot. and you just tend to go from job to what was the moment then when you realised you had ptsd? really when i was diagnosed, i went for some help. so you really realised you needed to ask for help because this is part of the problem, chris, you have gone through something similar. interestingly we were talking before about how difficult it is to actually say i think i have a problem. one of the things you were saying is your work does, the people close to you know that you suffer from it. but not everyone does. is that deliberate on your part?” think i have just kicked it close

friends and family. -- kept it. well, people will know now! and that is part of the reason you are here, to talk about lots of people, particularly vetera ns, to talk about lots of people, particularly veterans, who struggle. a lot of trent struggle who would come out. they are too proud. to proffer —— come out. they are too proud. to proffer — — too come out. they are too proud. to proffer —— too proud to ask for help. they are worried they will end up help. they are worried they will end up doing something stupid. you too are working together to make sure that doesn't happen. what are you doing? we have set up a group, we are not there to give them help and that, we are just the effort peer support. there was nothing in the area for us will be lived. and that is why we set it up. to give people support. chris, was the turning point for you? because you went through some very difficult times. what was the point at which you thought you could see some way of

coping with dealing with things weston —— ? coping with dealing with things weston --? the time and i needed help was when i tried to commit suicide again. again? again. so you have tried to take your life more than once? yes. and the aftermath of that, what happened that helped you? i went to the dock —— doctor and i broke down in front of the doctor, luckily i had a really good doctor at the time and she helped me out. she put me on medication and then between me and clare we tried to find the right sort of way to go around getting help. and did the moment with the doctor, i mean, did it feel like a weight had been lifted? like it feel like a weight had been lifted ? like there it feel like a weight had been lifted? like there was something that had changed? definitely. he took the pressure off me and somebody else knows about it now and

i'm going to be getting some help. the really important thing to emphasise now of course is it is a positive message for the two of you. things can be overcome. and you cannot change how you felt that point in time but you are in a much better place now i think, clare, would that be right? yes, but it is difficult, that is little help available for the families, partners and wives are just why we set up the local group locally to provide peer support. and encourage families and people to get together and support each other. and that is the veterans group? what would you say to anybody who perhaps has gone through what you have, it is confusing and scary not knowing kind of why the changes are happening. what is the best thing for them to do? if you feel, starting to feel different, becoming angry sooner or anxiety or anything

then go and speak to your gp. your first point of contact is speaking to yourgp. first point of contact is speaking to your gp. and the stigma has been broken down now, people understand. i think you have done a brilliant job and have already helped just by being on here today and talking about it openly. thank you and good luck with your work. we have a great team, we would not be able to do it without them. brilliant. thank you. it is 90 minutes past seven which means we can get match to talk us through the weather ——19. microformat. but the quick reflection on yesterday, this is the view from space across north—west europe, cloud over that but look, clear skies across much of the uk and down towards the alps, gunning towards the bottom corner. we saw temperatures peaked at 17, 60 three fahrenheit in north wales ring the afternoon. not quite the level of

clear skies around through the rest of this weekend. some sunshine at times but cloud here and there. staying mild, even with a strengthening breeze, and while the rain is in the forecast, a lot of you will spend the bulk of the weekend is not the entire weekend dry. cloud has been advancing in from the atlantic through the night, producing the brain and drizzle across parts of scotland, the far of england but most will start dry, mystic about the south coast, the best sunshine parts of wales and north midlands and it will move its way northwards through the day. we will see some sunshine now and again. clouding over this afternoon through southern counties of england and south wales. closer detail here, in the afternoon, there will be some sunshine but large amounts of cloud quite often. 1a in east anglia. sunshine in northern england and northern ireland into the afternoon. same across scotland, the best is the north and the east although some showers for orkney and shetland.

temperatures around seven or eight but for most of you, up where they should be. now tonight, the breeze will strengthen, coming in from the south, increasingly so, and out bricks of rain spreading into northern ireland later. some rain towards the hebrides, mostly dry elsewhere and cloud is starting to break up, lingering longer across the north—east. a frosty start to your sunday. the cloud in the west is due to this front, nudging in off the atlantic. it is a weakening front as it works its way is to the bulk of rain of it will be first thing in the west, northern ireland has a stocky start to sunday, have an extra line in! rain spreads in through western scotland, some showers eastwards, and some showers in the west of england and wales that they will fade away as the area of cloud pushes east. some sunny spells the many into the afternoon and temperatures still on the high side, picking at 16 or 17 in eastern england. fresh into monday but not a

huge amount. windy across the north of scotland, winds touching a0 or 50 miles an hour, some rainy north and west scotland and northern ireland but england and wales dry, temperatures into the high teens. back to naga and charlie. deep beneath the valleys of south wales, the rhondda railway tunnel took coal to swansea's ports for more than 70 years. it closed in 1968, but now campaigners are hoping to turn it into one of the world's longest underground cycle routes. tomos morgan has been to take a look inside. hidden away under the mist and greenhills, a highway. an old rail track that once connected the coal towns of the valleys and the ports of south wales. and after 60 years of south wales. and after 60 years of laying dormant... the rhondda tunnel could get a new lease of life asa tunnel could get a new lease of life as a cycle path. but at the moment, this is the only way down. it is a

60 foot abseil down into the heart of the tunnel. hello? hello. mr mchugh. steve mackey has grown up with this lying on his doorstep. i started coming in here when i was ten and! started coming in here when i was ten and i would set their marvelling at the work and the workmanship and the craftsmanship of the tunnel. opened in 189a almost 80 years, trains ferried coal and also passengers through the hills to the port of swansea. after a temporary closure in the late 60s on safety grounds, it never reopened. its rebirth of the cycling footpath has become the rhondda tunnel society ‘s full—time goal. become the rhondda tunnel society ‘s full-time goal. i don't care how long it takes to open the tunnel, it needs to be opened because it a magnificent struck. at just over two miles long, this would be the

longest cycling tunnel in europe and the second longest in the world. it we re the second longest in the world. it were to reopen. but the project is still in its infancy. although recent survey concluded that most of the structure was in a good condition, cost to rejuvenate the site could be as much as £10 million. yet, one of the engineering co nsulta nt million. yet, one of the engineering consultant have already tested out the proposed new cycle track. the unique experience was not be able to see where you are going because both in the block up, there was no light it is much as you could say at the end of the tunnel. gas monitor reading... the next stage of the transferring ownership from highways england, who originally ran the railway, to local authorities here in wales. after that it will be full stea m in wales. after that it will be full steam ahead to get the funds in place so that this old frank reich can be at the heart of this community wants more ——so that this old rail track can be. tomos morgan, bbc news. i think that will be brilliant. very

exciting. and what a perfect use the something that otherwise is unused. no traffic! even better! earlier this week, england's cricket captainjoe root was praised for standing up against alleged homophobic language. he hit back at the comments by saying "there is nothing wrong with being gay" and the incident has sparked a wider discussion on diversity in sport. well today, altrincham football club will wear a rainbow flag—inspired kit to highlight the issue. club director bill waterson is with us now, along with fanjonny keen. good morning to you both. so, ill, what is this all about? why has altrincham decided to literally where the flag? we have this idea a couple of years ago as part of our overall inclusion and diversity effort but we wanted to make sure that when we did it, we did it well because it is an important message to get across and we wanted to make sure that we did justice to the cause. so we took our time, and this

month is football versus homophobia action month as well as lgbtq history month, so we have dedicated our fixture today, to football versus homophobia, and we are wearing this special kit here. i will show it. yes, do it. that is the entire flag on it because hasn't a team in spain down? they had a sash. but this is the first time it is all over? the very first time anywhere in the world of football clu b anywhere in the world of football club is used in lgbtq pride flag. so jonny ura fan and clearly this is an important move that the club is making so in the past foot or on theseissues making so in the past foot or on these issues and other issues, racism for example, has been accused of putting out statements but nothing really changing. so how do you see the picture at the moment? it can happen sometimes, you get clubs who say we are against

homophobia but don't do anything about it. i think today they are taking a related step with the shirt and behind the scenes as well they reached out to me as a lgbtiq+ fan and asked me what i thought and what i would like to do as it ——on the day. these have been a fan for a while, what has been your experience asafan while, what has been your experience as a fan in the stand and what you have seen and heard. as a fan, mostly it is fine. i would say in ten years of watching altrincham maybe six incidents but still, they can be enough to put people off. i ruin your day can be enough to put people off. i ruin yourday and can be enough to put people off. i ruin your day and the less of it around, the better. there is that feeling that if you are not a regular football goa but the feeling that if you are not a regularfootball goa but the race hostility in the stands. and bill, what are you doing about it but what would you say is the reality? there can be hostility in the stand, i will not deny that, but mostly it is down to ignorance or passions running high and i think educating

people for initiatives like this can help to combat it. bill? what can be done and what will this do because what are you expect in, the some of those who perhaps have been guilty of homophobic slurs, shouting and chanting, will they see this kit? first of all football is our national game and therefore it is pa rt national game and therefore it is part of our national psyche and therefore, the people who attend football matches ought to reflect on the natural diversity we have inside the natural diversity we have inside the uk which is massive. and our inclusion of diversity campaigns aimed at attracting all of those minorities who may feel that football stadiums are slightly daunting place to go. betty khalifa the outside, the big to work with organisations who encourage women on their own to attend football matches together and create an environment in which they are welcome, i have done work with the muslim association, we do work with... bill, can i ask, i understand was struggling with your voice a bit, i

am assuming, given your age, you have been in full off some time and would remember a time when these discussions we are having here would have probably been laughed out of the boardroom, let alone... they would have been unthinkable. for homophobia, you only need to go back 10-15 homophobia, you only need to go back 10—15 years to find that resistance and with racism, maybe longer. recently for example people have said that racism that isjust as bad as it was in the 19805. you said that racism that i5ju5t as bad as it was in the 19805. you clearly we re as it was in the 19805. you clearly were not there in the 19805! as it was in the 19805. you clearly were not there in the 1980s! jonny, what would you say, the last openly 93v what would you say, the last openly gay footballer was just an ashley? it is gay footballer was just an ashley? it i5a gay footballer was just an ashley? it is a shame because there must be lgbtiq+ it is a shame because there must be lg btiq+ football it is a shame because there must be lgbtiq+ football is out there but unfortunately the environment doesn't exist for them to feel comfortable in expressing that. what i would like to see is ruben loftus—cheek made a really nice comment when there was speculation about him being gay where he said i'm not but any player who came out as they would have my full support

andl as they would have my full support and i would like to see more of that. kick off? three o'clock, j davison stadium, altrincham. are we feeling good? davison stadium, altrincham. are we feeling good ? yes, davison stadium, altrincham. are we feeling good? yes, we have to remember there was a football match at the heart of this, it isn'tjust at the heart of this, it isn'tjust a campaign, the campaign is important but we are trying to get out of the national league north and get back into... who are you playing? bradford park avenue. good luck! stay with us. headlines coming up. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the family of shamima begum — who ran away to syria to join the so—called islamic state group four years ago — has urged the government to help bring her home. the 19—year—old, who is heavily pregnant, says she wants to come back to the uk for the sake of her unborn child. it's thought she understands she may have to face a police investigation and possible terrorism charges, if allowed to return. thousands of criminals will be monitored 2a hours a day by new electronic tags that use satellite signals to track their exact location.

the government says the scheme is designed to protect victims and cut down the need for short—term jail sentences. however, during a trial run wearers reported the tags were uncomfortable and caused heightened anxiety because of a fear of accidentally breaching the conditions. the funeral‘s taking place today in argentina of footballer emiliano sala, who was killed when his plane crashed into the english channel. the 28—year—old had signed for premier league club cardiff city two days before he died. he'll be laid to rest in his hometown of progreso. the body of his pilot, david ibbotson, has not yet been found. a 27—year—old man has been charged with the murder of three elderly men in exeter. the bodies of two 8a—year—old twins and an 80—year—old man were found, less than 2a hours apart. alexander lewis—ra nwell from croyde in north devon will appear at exeter magistrates' court later. military charities have warned they're struggling to cope

ensured his side became only the third to beat exeter this season. and in the pro1a, edinburgh fought off a spirited dragons side to secure a crucial bonus—point win, and stay in the hunt for a play—off place. all yesterday's results and today's fixtures are on the bbc sport website. how about a story of redemption and coming back from being written off? just over two years ago british sprinterjames ellington, was injured in a road accident, alongside fellow sprinter nigel levine. the pair were riding on motorbikes when they were involved in a crash in tenerife. reports at the time suggested that ellington's injuries were "career ending", but he's made a remarkable recovery, and is ready to return. a lot of people were going he's already achieved it. but in my head, for me, i have always done athletics to be, kind of, i want to be one of the best in the world,

or i want to be the best. i love the sport, but i don't want to do itjust to keep it. so when i come back, that is not a question, i will be back. but that is not my goal. my goal is to come back and be the same if not better than i was before. more build—up shortly. there's been a huge upset at the welsh open snooker. joe o'connor, only turned professional last year and now he's knocked outjohn higgins, the four time world champion, o'connor, is number 102 in the world, and this is the furthest he's gone in a ranking tournament. the russian president, vladimir putin, took a break from his duties to take part in a friendly ice hockey match alongside the president of belarus, alexander lu kashenko. he showed off his warm—up skills, as the two political heavyweights, took to the ice in the russian resort city of sochi, after a meeting on culture, education and sport. both presidents played on the same side — and beat the opposing team by 16 goals to one. they must be really, really good at

ice hockey... really, really good. against her professionals as well. just brilliant. a waste of talent —— against those professionals. the athletics season gathers pace today with the muller indoor grand prix at arena birmingham. it's live this afternoon on bbc one and alongside some of the biggest names in british athletics will be a rank outsider, myself in lane four for one of the 60 metres. it's an experiment to see how fast the elite athletes are compared to a fan off the sofa. i've had some coaching at the winter training camp in tenerife. we came to tenerife for the winter sun, but not like most to sit

on the beach. oh no, right in the centre of playa de las americas — a stadium of hard work and sweat, where the warm weather helps our athletes run fast in the season ahead. for us, trying to get some speed working and get our legs working. it make such a difference coming to conditions like this. athletics is all about your mood, it's not necessarily about your training. in the sun you just feel a lot better and if you feel better you perform better, trained better, perform better. i was hoping the sun would put a spring in my head. but my introduction to sprinting was a rude awakening. before i could even start there was an hour—long warm—up. # this world can hurt you... i'm getting pulled off balance. at times i thought i had stepped onto the dance floor. you look like you are in a cabaret dance.

we want to be going to move forward with it. or entered the ministry of silly walks. all this was essential, though, because sprinting is all about explosive bursts. and unless all my muscles were ready i would risk an injury straightaway. you're building a lot of muscle groups. you wouldn't believe that i don't go to the gym that often. laughter. a couple of weeks' work, maybe. yeah. then it was time to learn a whole new way of running. as you sprint, you tend to hit the floor with a straight leg. so you start off with smaller steps and work up into bigger steps. that and kind of go down. it's totally different to the longer distance plodding i am used to, which is why you don't often see sprinted out for a job. i am doing a one milejog with my wife in the park in 2016. and after 800m i cramped up. i had to sit on the bench. really?!

i was knackered, because my body's finely tuned to sprinting and producing the power. when you see it close up you realise how explosive and what a different way of running it is. and this is going to be some experiment to see how a mere fan, a mere mortalfrom the sofa gets on over 60 metres and how far i can get left behind. i would say you would be around about 2 seconds to 2.5 seconds, which might be about 25 metres, 20 metres. yeah. the main thing is we need to teach you how to get out of the blocks properly, because it is a little different to a standing start. i would be responsible for setting down my blocks and then not falling over as i arch into position. seven or eight steps, just head down. rising to it. the next time i would be doing this would be in lane four in the stadium in front of a sell—out crowd. really impressive, to be honest. head down, shoulders were good.

how to make sure we get the reaction right. i think ready to go. you look like a powerhouse. only little legs, though. little steps. sometimes they can get you out of the blocks quicker. you might surprise us. what does everybody think in terms ofa what does everybody think in terms of a potential time? rhys prescott, the fastest in britain, the british champion, 6.53 he ran in berlin a couple of weeks ago. how does that stacked up with some of the fastest moving creatures in the world? a formula one car is obviously fastest, then a cheetah and an ostrich. usain bolt, 5.7 seconds. a tortures up there. what is your time? under ten. let us see what people see on social media.” time? under ten. let us see what people see on social media. i went

high on 12. it is realistic. you have five minutes to get into position and then the bending down we re position and then the bending down were you position and then the bending down were you village will fall. we are very much looking forward to it.” like your support. i think you here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. this is the view yesterday in north wales, a cracking day. in north wales before the highest of the temperatures. 17! it will not get quite as high as that today, a little more cloud around as there will be through this weekend but overall, a mild weekend, one which turns breezy but much of the time staying dry, just a little bit of rain here and there as i'm sure you know, rain is coming courtesy of the clouds filling of the atlantic, we won't worry about this cloud for now, it is this one across scotland and the far north of england producing patchy light rain and drizzle that woollies ‘s way

northward, turning dry and bright from any during the day but as i said lots of cloud around, the sunshine this morning, into it, across southern sunshine this morning, into it, across southern areas are sunshine this morning, into it, across southern areas are actually through testing were and the south—east but milder here to rate as the cloud spread this way northward than that produces a slightly greater afternoon compared with yesterday but still some breaks in the cloud and still a dry day, a great day to get out, the breeze freshers in the west, highs of the temperatures to eastern england 1a or 15 degrees, northern england walk buntine, northern ireland and good parts of central and eastern scotla nd parts of central and eastern scotland too. a few showers in orkney and shetland possible in the afternoon, possibly be close to lewington harassed but with the exception of walking and shetland, most will see temperatures in double figures if of the low teens. a few of them will see not see the temperatures drop much, the breeze will continue to strengthen in fact late in the night bringing rain to parts of northern ireland the far western fringes of scotland's most will be dry, the clearer skies around into tomorrow morning across scotland, england and wales and we

start the day frost free. this is the chart for sunday, low pressure to the west but actually a weather front our way for sunday which will wea ken front our way for sunday which will weaken as it goes by producing morning rain across ireland, heavy burst too, have a lie in, into it, the sunshine will be out later. it then sprinted to northern scotland, some show at the western england and wales, try through much of central eastern england and a part of eastern england and a part of eastern scotland throughout a fair amount of sunshine through the day on sunday, all see it at times and temperatures upon today's values, even with a strong breeze, 15 or 16 possible. the breeze it is stronger into monday with outbreaks of rain north and west scotland a few showers from northern ireland were not used to the brain to england and wales but the working week will be largely dry here, some cloud and sunshine and it sets the scene for the rest of the week, winds coming from a general south—westerly direction the temperatures will stay above where they should be the time of year in double figures for the vast majority that is how it is

looking back at naga and charlie. it feels so good that the you should be in double figures at this time of year, so good, thank you. just for you, naga! thank you, iwill take it. now on breakfast, it's time for newswatch. hello and welcome to the programme. welcome to news what with me samir ahmed. attacked while covering a donald trump rally, the bbc reporter there tells us what happened. and hours of celebrities on the red carpet — is it time bbc news stopped going bafta crazy? on monday, president trump travelled to el paso in texas, speaking to a rally held to campaign for the wall with mexico. in the media area was bbc washington correspondent gary o'donahue who reported the following day on what happened during the speech. journalists are regularly shouted at and abused. but this time, one member of the crowd took matters into his hands. i have reached the lowest level

in the history of our town. whoa! he pushes the camera violently from behind, into my cameraman. usa! then, as he's restrained, he continues to yell abuse at the media. booing. fortunately, my cameraman was not hurt and the man was taken away. later, the bbc wrote to the white house, asking them to review security arrangements for the media at rallies such as this. and the white house condemned violence against journalists. they asked supporters to behave in a peaceful and respectful manner. to tell us more about what happened and about the challenges facing journalists in america at the moment, garyjoins us now from washington. thank you for coming on newswatch. we cannot tell from the footage what exactly happened

but it was described as violent. you were there, can you describe what happened? yes, what happened was that there were three of us — myself, my producer and my cameraman — and we were on the media riser, which is the platform built for the cameras to go on in front of the stage where the president was speaking. one member of the public managed to get onto the back of the riser, there was no security there as far as we could see, and they started to run along the level of the platform where we there and they pushed my cameraman's camera into his body. then they pushed him and then they came around the other side and pushed him again. the guy first shouted "usa!" and he shouted a four—letter word followed by the word "media". he did that twice before he was restrained by another person who was on the riser and then he was taken to the front and security took him away. what would you said the atmosphere

was like in the venue before the attack? i've done quite a lot of these rallies and it was pretty pumped. they usually are. they play a lot of loud music — it's a sort of a cross between a rock concert and a sporting event, if you like. they have speakers on beforehand, so donald junior was on immediately before the president and before that was ted cruz and another senator from texas. all of them — all of them — did a little turn on how to fake news was here and how the media was unfairly treating america. no—one used the phrase "enemy of the people" at this stage but we have heard that before of course from the president. when that happens, there's a lot of pointing from people, especially donald trump. he will point at the media and say, "look at those dumb guys over there" and the crowd turns around a boos. that is pretty standard and i had

that through the election campaign as well pretty regularly. it is pretty pumped. the bbc has formally complained about the incident involving you and your crew, gary. has the relationship with the white house changed this week, would you say? no, and it is worth saying, just for the record, that my cameraman is fine. he was a bit shaken up by it but he is a big, tough guy and he is a professional and he carried on filming. our colleagues in the american press get a lot of this. they get a lot of — i mean, people have been spat at. i have been spat at. regular chanting at these rallies is "cnn sucks", "cnn sucks" they chant, and they get a lot of heat from the crowd. it is the first time i have seen anyone physically be able to get in amongst us on these risers, which are crowded places, full of lighting stands and tripods and cables all over the floor, boxes all over the floor, you cannot move. you're a, in many ways,

you are a little prisoner there because once you're in there, you can't get out. it is the first time i have ever seen anyone get amongst us like that and that is why i think the bbc is now certainly looking at the question of whether or not we need to take security with us when you go to these rallies in the election campaign. it is an amazing thought, isn't it? we take for granted that we have to have security in awesome is that —— we take for granted that we have to have security in war zones but at a political rally in the united states of america? that's now on the cards as well. as you have made clear, the president does not like a lot of the mainstream news media — he talks about it all the time at his rallies — and as a bbc correspondent, is it now having a detrimental effect on the ability to do yourjob? i think freedom of speech is incredibly important and that includes criticising the press. what we don't have to face — and shouldn't have to face — is people coming in and starting laying their hands on you,

pushing you around, shoving you around. 99.99% of people who hear the rhetoric about the mainstream media, they may boo and shout and swear and that's fine. they do all that, but the risk is that the rhetoric and what it does to that 0.01% of people, what does a trigger in them? is there a chance that your rhetoric and the kind of language you use sets something off in a very small number of people and gives them the feeling that they have license to do something like that. that is the risk. the context ready matters here. —— so the context really matters here. barry o'donohue, thank you so much. -- gary o'donohue, thank you so much. tuesday's news bulletins included an emotional report aboutjulie o'connor, who died last week of cervical cancer after she had been given the all—clear by a bristol hospital six times.

it featured this footage of her, which some viewers might find distressing. right up until the end, julie was keen to tell her story. here she is speaking to her family in the hospice just three days before she died. what's the prognosis now, julie? as mentioned there, the questions were posed and the camera held by a family member, not a journalist, but some viewers either missed that, assuming it was a bbc reporter, or felt the item showed a lack of sensitivity in any case. geoffrey king asked: and geoff heathcock agreed. we put those points to bbc news

and they told us: you may have noticed it is a busy news time but with so much going on in the world, the choice of lead story on bbc one's news bulletins can still come as something as a surprise and disappointment to some viewers. charlie webber was one of them this week, and recorded this video to explain why. on sunday at 10pm, i tuned in to bbc news, curious as to developments in the likes of dennis miller, brexit and or trumpland. the headlines at 10:00: living up to its name,

the favourite wins several awards at the baftas. the bbc news decided to lead with who had one bafta award. one bafta award. this astonished me. this is not actual news. i learned who had won what in the world of dress up and make believe. the fact that the bafta awards were even on meant that somebody had to one in every category. it is hardly breaking news. we will bring you up—to—date... so the oscars are on at the end of february and here's a surprise, some of the attendees will actually win an oscar. but newsflash, itjust isn't news. thank you, news watch. finally, it was announced this week that the bbc is calling time on this week. the thursday night political show which will not return after the current series finishes injuly, bringing an end

to its quirky mix of guests ranging from mps to the cheeky girls and even andrew neil's dog, molly. the presenters's instinctive destructions and fork introductions to the programme have been a fan of debbie, who tweeted: here's an example of one of those openings, addressed to so—called islamic state following 2015 attacks in paris. after that, a very different example of one its endings. whatever atrocities you are currently capable of committing, you will lose. in 1,000 years' time, paris, that curious city of lights, will still be shining bright, as will every other city like it. while you will be as dust, along with the ragbag of fascists, nazis and stalinists that have previously dared to challenge democracy — and failed. nighty night — don't let the performance—enhancing

substances bite. # shouting lager, lager, lager, lager. that bizarre spectacle was in response to news that that the dance group, underworld, would provide music for the opening of the 2012 olympics. ian dobbs regretted the decision to end the programme. thank you for all your comments this week. favourable or not. if you want to share your opinions on bbc news and current affairs, or even appear on the programme, you can call us or e—mail us.
