to join the islamic state group, have said they would welcome a police investigation into her actions, but they think the government should help to bring her home. shamima begum, who is now 19 years old, is pregnant and living at a refugee camp. 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 renounced 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. a 27—year—old man is due

to appear before magistrates in exeter later this morning, charged with the murder of three elderly men. the bodies of two 84—year—old twins and an 80—year—old man were found in the city, less than 2a hours apart. alexander lewis—ra nwell from croyde in north devon is also charged with two offences of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. thousands of criminals in england and wales will be tagged with gps trackers to allow authorities to constantly track them. the current tags, which are worn by around 60,000 offenders, are linked to a fixed address, such as an offender's home, with alerts generated if they are not there at certain hours. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. we have gps technology in our cars and on our smartphones. 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 when 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.

speaking on bbc breakfast earlier from his constituency in hertfordshire, the justice secretary david gauke said the new gps system would save money and help reduce crime. this is a very cost—effective way of dealing with offenders which i hope will free up resources to assist the police in their activity. it costs about £9 a day for one of these tags which is relatively cheap, compared to some of the alternatives, so it does help ensure we spend money wisely and of course, what the public want to see is resources in this area available for front line staff to enforce the law and so on. i think this is a good cost—effective measure but most importantly of all it should provide that reassurance in terms of the authorities knowing where someone is. that has a deterrent effect. i have heard of cases, for example, of gang members who have said if they were placed with a tag their gang,

for example, wouldn't want them to bejoining them because it is revealing information. i think it will have a beneficial effect on behaviour, certainly the feedback from the pilot work that has been done is very encouraging. lady falkender, who was political secretary to the former prime minister harold wilson, has died at the age of 86. formerly known as marcia williams, she was a controversial and powerfulfigure. she was the former labour prime minister's right—hand woman during his two periods in office during the 1960's and 70's, and was blamed for his controversial resignation honours list in 1976, a document which became known as the lavender list. a planned visit by the chancellor, philip hammond, to china next week is no longer going ahead. the move follows newspaper reports that the government in beijing

was angered by a speech this week in which the defence secretary, gavin williamson, signalled the uk s intention to send an aircraft carrier to the pacific. a spokesman for the treasury said the visit was never confirmed or announced. nigeria's presidential elections have been postponed by a week, just hours before polls were due to open across the country. the independent national electoral commission blamed the delay on logistical difficulties, after reports of problems distributing voting material. 0ur correspondent tomi 0ladipo is in the capital abuja. what explanation was offered by the commission for this rather abrupt last—minute decision? commission for this rather abrupt last-minute decision? the commission gave this medal of the night statement and did not open the floor for any questions from journalists when they made the announcement.

they said they had reviewed the operational and logistical processes and that it would not be feasible to hold the election this weekend. it is interesting because they had been questioned for weeks, even months, because of problems coming up and they insisted they were ready to hold the elections and it would not postpone. matter of hours before the vote they called it off. there have been some reports that there had been some reports that there had been missing ballot papers and other materials to do with the election that the commission was trying to track down before it would allow pulling to take place, have you heard any more about that? there was lots of questions and problems that people had raised sidhu with the ballot papers and to do with some of the sensitive material, as it is cold, like results sheets, the documents on which the votes are tallied. some people had complained they had not received their photos

cards or had found multiple butchers cards or had found multiple butchers cards for an individual at their stations so there have been a lot of problems. the electoral commission said these were not significant enough to cause a disruption to the electoral calendar but now they have changed their minds. this is a huge election and almost eight logistical exercise given the millions of people who have the opportunity to vote in the nigerian presidential poll. there have been problems in previous presidential elections. how about this for nigeria and frustrating for the president? this will make nigerians elizabeth in the process. this is the third election ina row process. this is the third election in a row that has been postponed. there have been different reasons in the past but in this case, people would be hoping that lessons had been learnt but now the electoral commission saying it has its own problems and needs to sort out. both the two top candidates and their parties have responded to this and

expressed their disappointment. there had been claims of foul play from either side but i think for the public the voter apathy that the parties have been trying to counter will only get worse and i think a lot of people are definitely losing faith in the process. a former cardinal has been removed from the priesthood by the catholic church after being found guilty of sexually abusing children and adults. theodore mccarrick was once archbishop of washington dc. he is the most high—profile catholic figure to be dismissed from the priesthood in modern times. 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. 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 returned too soon. for the residents of this small argentinian town, this was not the way they wanted to welcome back one of their most successful sons. translation: without a doubt, we would never have imagined everything that we are seeing now. there are 3000 of us and we remain shocked and overcome by the situation, but still trying to give emiliano sala the farewell that he deserves. emiliano sala grew up playing football here in progreso until the age of 1a, when he left to pursue bigger opportunities. recognition seemed to come belatedly to the 28—year—old, when he was bought by cardiff city from nantes, for a club record of £15 million on the 19th of january. but then, just two days later, the plane carrying him and pilot david ibbotson, from france to his new home,

crashed into the english channel. after a two—week search, mr sala's body was found in the wreckage. mr ibbotson remains missing. now the residents here are preparing to say their final goodbye while promising that mr sala will stay eternally in their hearts. aisling mcveigh, bbc news. some other news stories. the government is considering forcing mobile phone companies to open their networks to competitors — to improve reception in rural areas. ministers want 95% of the uk to have a mobile signal by 2022. a fifth of the uk lacks an adequate signal for basic mobile services. 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. child car seats which are illegal to use in the uk are still available to buy online,

according to a consumer watchdog. which? says it found the seats, which are made of fabric, offer ‘almost no protection‘ in a crash and sell for as little as £8. 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 warzone. 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, ijust 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. the headlines on bbc news: the family of shamima begum — the teenager who went to syria to join the islamic state group — has called on the uk to bring her back "urgently". thousands of criminals in england and wales will be tagged with gps trackers to allow authorities to trace them 2a hours a day. the funeral of footballer emiliano sala, who died in a plane crash in the english channel last month, as he headed for his new club cardiff city, is taking place in his native argentina. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre,

here's richard askem. good morning. it wasn't so long ago that newport county were out of business —they only made it back into the league in 2013 but today they're hoping to pull off what their manager says would be the biggest fa cup shock of all time. they've already knocked out the likes of leicester, and today they host the premier league champions manchester city, for the chance to make it through to the quarter finals. we have got to believe we have a chance of winning. they are exceptional, the first team, second tea m exceptional, the first team, second team or13, i exceptional, the first team, second team or 13, i think the under 20 threes will be a good to but they will be a difficult time but we have to have belief and i hope if you have enough hat —— have an off day.

in some areas they are better than us in some areas they are better than us and we have to try and bring game a nyway us and we have to try and bring game anyway that we are stronger than them, so which team is going to control these areas or bring their owi'i control these areas or bring their own game and their own site in that moment, will be an advantage. the weekend's action got under way last night and watford are the first team into the quarter finals. they beat qpr 1 0 at loftus road. etienne capoo with the goal that took them through. and football focus comes from afc wimbledon today, they're hoping to cause an upset against millwall. daniel armstrong scored his first goal for ross county to help them into the scottish challenge cup final and it was something special. his corner curled straight into the net, setting them on their way to a 2—1 victory over east fife. they'll play either connah's quay or edinburgh city, who meet in the second semi final tonight. the leaders of rugby union's premiership, exeter, had a bit of a shock last night.

gloucester came from behind to beat them by 2a points to 17. ben morgan scoring the try that ensured his side became only the third to beat exeter this season. and in the pro1li, 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. there's been a huge upset at the welsh 0pen snooker. joe 0'connor only turned professional last year but now he's knocked out john higgins, the four time world champion. 0'connor, is number 102 in the world, and this is the furthest he's gone ina ranking tournament. coverage continues on bbc wales, as well as the red button and bbc sport website, from one o'clock. 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 are going you have already achieved it but in my head, my head i have done athletics to be one of the best in the world. i love the sport but i don't want to do it just to keep fit. when i come back is not a question, i will be back. my is not a question, i will be back. my goal is to come back and be the same, if not better than i was before. that's all the sport for now but later you can watch the latest live coverage of the ski slalom. you can watch it live on the red button as well. president trump has defended his decision to use emergency powers

to build a wall on the us border with mexico. democrats have described the president's decision as ‘unconstitutional‘, and have promised to take their battle all the way to the supreme court. meanwhile, robert mueller, the man investigating alleged russian interference in the 2016 american presidential elections, has called for president trump s former campaign manager, paul manafort, to be jailed for between 19 and 2a years. mr manafort was one of the first people to be investigated by the mueller inquiry into allegations that the trump campaign colluded with russia. let's talk about the implications of the president's declaration of emergency. with me is inderjeet parmar, professor of international politics at city, university of london. first of all, the decision to evoke an emergency in this context. how unusual is that? it is unprecedented

for a president to declare an emergency on a party political question in which the congress was opposed to that basic decision. in that regard, it is never happened before and president trump has evoked a 1953 which basically says that he can mobilise a million reservists to go to the border and start building military fortifications and so on. his defence as he cannot get his way and effectively deliver on a campaign pledge he made. how will the courts likely to respond to that, presuming it is heading to court? it is heading to court but although it is a campaign promise, it is important to remember the president like any politician or a leader is bound by the constitution and he is trying to unify the powers of the legislative into the executive and decide he has the power to spend and make la and therefore, carry this action out. the key thing for the supreme court

is if it gets to that level, will be, is there a national emergency at the border? is there a military threat to the people of the united states ? threat to the people of the united states? he has evoked a 1953 lakh, the height of the cold war. and that is what that lot was about, giving the present power any more situation? yes, it basically says if you declare an area to be a military city of the president could take control of the military. what about the presidents argument this is a source the presidents argument this is a source of criminal activity and illegal immigration? how questionable either as justification for evoking this law? they are very contentious. the majority of immigrants into the inner states fly over the border and have a visa. about 80% of people overstate their these are. the people we are talking

about at the border in the asylum seekers and refugees who are displaced from their countries largely by gang violence and political repression. they are not people who are economic migrants. under the international law they have the right to apply for asylum at the border. what about the reaction from republicans? the leadership of the republican in congress is behind the president and declared support. there have been some individuals, one is senator tom tillis who said it would create a new president that left—wing president would bypass the authority of congress to further their agenda? do you think that you may be more widely shared in republican circles? i think it will be. they make a large thing about the frame of the constitution and that what they wa nted constitution and that what they wanted which was to cope the president and keep the powers of the

president and keep the powers of the president under control. they use those kinds of principles with 0bama one day claimed he was usurping power over the health care provisions and the supreme court ruled down 0bama. there will be a number of people with severe principles on this question. on the question of whether this goes to the supreme court as the arbiter of the constitution, this is a quote that now the president has helped to shape and he has made three appointments to the court so far? they are already conservative justices on there. how are conservative justices appointed by a republican president likely to interpret this challenge? this is going to be an interesting point. to what extent are they going to behave as trump point is and what extent they going to behave as construction nests who are trying to get themselves into the heads of people who made the constitution themselves, as conservatives. it is

a open question at the moment but if they are true to their conservative principles they would really decide to strike this action down. thank you for coming in, it is a fascinating case. 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. among those who signed were martin scorcese, spike lee and george clooney. the 91st academy awards take place next sunday and this year things haven't gone to plan. let's talk to sandro monetti — editor in chief of hollywood international film—maker magazine. he joins us via webcam in los angeles. i would say good morning but it is probably the middle of the night and you are probably be quite glad to use the tardis behind you to materialise a more civilised time of the day but we are grateful. what on

earth is the academy up to?|j the day but we are grateful. what on earth is the academy up to? i cannot sleep because of this ongoing shambles. the 0sca rs sleep because of this ongoing shambles. the 0scars should be held ina big shambles. the 0scars should be held in a big top because the whole thing is becoming a circus. wonder is a decision to be made you can trust the academy to make the wrong one. this latest gift is the latest in a series of mistakes which have infuriated the film industry and made the oscars, which should be the greatest showpiece for town, total embarrassment for hollywood. stately was one of the signatories and he said any comments he made about this that there were not be a film without cinematography so how could you give the award for best seven saga for during the advert break? i suppose people would say it would be replayed in the televised ceremony so replayed in the televised ceremony so what is the fuss about? anyone who has been to the oscars knows

thatis who has been to the oscars knows that is a nonstarter because during the commercial break the aisles are full of people standing up to go to the toilet, chat to each other, take selfies, how would a winner get to the stage and complete their speech and get off in time? it is a boneheaded decision that has no existence in practicality whatsoever. spike lee is quite right as is quentin tarantino. this is the first 0scars in 30 years that will have no host in the last time that happened the show opened with rob lowe, not known for his singing, singing a duet with snow white. that will look a classic compared to this year. when you have no host, what happens if they have envelope data and the open up the wrong winner of best picture? he was going to run on stage to stop it, is the producer coming down from the gallery?

everyone on the academy resign, they are not fit for purpose and they are ruining the great institution of the 0scars. ruining the great institution of the oscars. has it had its day? it is going that way. some of us look forward to it but we long it should be good. 0ther award shows have figured it out like the grammys. they give out about a hundred awards before the cameras are switched on and last couple of hours as entertainment, musical performances and the awards. i can see what the academy is trying to do by reducing the number of awards. there is 2a after a ll the number of awards. there is 2a after all but the public on care about sex or eight, —— the public only care about sex or eight. is it

possible this controversy is a clever bit of marketing by the academy and the going to get a huge audience this time around because of it? i would like to think they are that clever! it is keeping the 0scars in the headlines but it is not the kind of positivity they want. it will be interesting to see how the dealing figures are because the ratings have gone off aycliffe for the last few years. this is the first time in many years when three of the nominated films have made so much money at the box office and when the oscars are watched it is when the oscars are watched it is when people cheer on movies they have seen and help well when, so it remains to be seen whether this turns into a positive. it will be like watching a complete disaster, i can't wait! it is one shambles after another. i wouldn't be anywhere else in the world. always a pleasure to

speak to you. have a good rest. now it's time for a look at the weather with matt taylor more a cloud around this weekend compared to what many of you so yesterday. there was light rain and result this morning, most becoming dry. still a few spots of rain on listen harris but for most it is a dry afternoon and busiest across western areas but breeze coming from a south to south—westerly direction, we see temperatures above where they should be although not the levels of yesterday. 11 to 13 entire than it should be at this stage. tonight the southerly principle continue to strengthen and turning water into northern ireland temperatures do not drop much from daytime values. clearing
