this is bbc news, i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at six. as the family of shameema baygum ask the government to help bring her home — thejustice secretary says the main priority has to be the safety of the public. a 27—year—old man appears in court, charged with the murders of 3 elderly men in exeter. thousands of criminals are to be monitored 2a hours a day — using gps tracking technology. the funeral of footballer, emiliano sala, who was killed when his plane crashed into the channel, is taking place in his native argentina. and coming up injust over half an hour — as this thumping header leads millwall to victory at afc wimbledon, sportsday has all of today's fa cup action good afternoon.

thejustice secretary, david gauke, says the government's main priority has to be the safety of the public, when considering the case of shameema baygum. the family of the pregnant teenager, who left britain to join the islamic state group, say they'd welcome a police investigation into her actions, but want the government to help bring her home. sophie long reports. this is the al—hawl camp in northern syria where the 19—year—old from east london is living as she awaits the birth of her third child. shamima begum says both her son and daughter died, and she wants to come back to britain so her unborn baby does not the same fate. herfamily, who had feared they would never see her again, have asked the government to help them get her home. but the justice secretary says there are risks to allowing people like shamima begum to return to britain, and they would look at her case very closely.

what has to be the priority of the british government is ensuring the protection of the british people as a whole. we do have a number of powers in this area. we have to act within those powers. but we need to make sure that the british people are not unnecessarily at risk. in a statement, shamima begum's family says shamima begum's case is not unique. some 850 people left the uk to join so—called islamic state. around half have already come back. some working against extremism say there needs to be more focus on what caused her to go, to prevent others from doing the same. i realise that she is a bit of a poster girl of that phenomenon of those young girls

going off tojoin daesh. but if we take stock of what is happening, we need to see how she got there and we can stop other people from going down that route. the home secretary has said he would prevent people in terrorist organisations returning to britain. it is unclear what that will mean for shamima begum, who was just 15 when she left the uk for syria. nicola benya—he—ah is a psychotherapist, who runs a counselling service for families affected by radicalisation. she set it up in 2015 after her teenage son, rasheed, left the country and travelled to syria tojoin is. he was killed 6 months later. earlier, she told my colleague, sean ley, what factors the government should consider about shameema's case. i think the whole thing needs to be, it's a case—by—case situation with individuals who have made that choice to go

over and join daesh, i think a thorough assessment of the individual is required and again, to process the investigation and possibly prosecution. a lot of people will have read the times and heard the remarks that she made and will feel that look, she is showing no signs of remorse, it is too great a risk to have her back here, what would you say that? it is difficult to make that snap decision. a thorough assessment of her would be required because whether she does have remorse from the word she is saying, she could be suffering from the effects of ptsd or trauma and you have to remember, when somebody is out there, it is very much they suffer from paranoia and they fear people around them and i think that is what we need to bear in mind

because actually, even with my s0n, when he was out there, this is something that he was showing with this current paranoid thought and again, people are watching and listening to everything they are saying so she also may be filtering which he is saying because of that fact. what about the sort of practicalities of this, if she is brought back to this country and interviewed, debriefed, what about dealing with the kind of psychological effects of what she has experienced if she is to have any hope of resuming what most people would referred to as normal life? i would hope, they are equipped to deal with these interventions, so i would hope they would have a real wraparound intervention not just for her but her family. my heart goes out to the family who is actually been experiencing this for many years and they are holding a life sentence themselves and i would hope that they will be supported as well.

are you surprised that this seems to have come so unexpected to people? because he is not a large number of fighters and supporters have gone to syria and we knew that islamic state was on the point of being defeated, do you think they should have been more preparation for this? certainly. we have been talking about this for a couple of years and the complexity about it and so i think it should not come as a shock to any of us because we have been talking about this. obviously, for the public, it is security and safety that is paramount, but we also have to think about how we are going to if we do decide to bring these people back. nicola benya—he—ah, speaking to my colleague, sean ley. and in the last few minutes, the funeral procession for emiliano sala has begun in argentina. there is a military airport that is

standing by, his coffin was brought out and you can see that many of his fans, members from the village where he grew up, have turned out and are clapping as his coffin, a very sad site, is brought out. it will be placed in the military plane and flown and they believe there is a private cremation that is due to ta ke private cremation that is due to take place. on january private cremation that is due to take place. onjanuary 21, and this is just two days after he completed a £50 million move to the premier

league club from french club and he was travelling in a private plane, with another passenger it was just two of them on board and the pilot. his body was recovered on february seven, the pilot has not yet been recovered. the funeral event taking place through today, we understand that the manager and the clubs chief executive, both travelled to argentina to attend the ceremony to pay their respects, those are members of the family that you can see on the screen there, very sad scene coming from there. many of the

fans, people have been attending and also the local club he was described as being a lanky striker and many are paying their tributes to him whose funeral has been taking place with a few more events taking place before he is finally laid to rest in a private crematorium by his family. alexander lewis—ra nwell appeared at exeter magistrates‘ court this morning during a short two—minute hearing. during that time the charges were read to him, he faces five, three of which are charges of murder, and those are of 80—year—old anthony payne,

who was found dead at his home in the city earlier this week and richard and roger carter, 84—year—old twins who were also from the city. the charges relate to incidents between the tenth on the 12th of february. he was facing a further two charges of grievous bodily harm with intent, and they relate to a further two incidents in goodleigh in north devon on the 9th of february, and exeter on the 11th of february. during the very short two minute hearing today, he was remanded in custody and will appear at exeter crown court on monday morning. a teenager has died, 2 days after being stabbed outside a sixth form college in birmingham. the 16—year—old boy had been on life support, since the incident in the highgate area on wednesday. another 16—year—old appeared in court, charged with attempted murder, before the boy died. thousands of criminals in england and wales will be tagged with gps trackers, to allow authorities to constantly monitor their wherabouts.

the current tags, which are worn by around 60,000 offenders, are only 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 smartphones. now it's being used to track the movements of offenders and suspects on bail. this is a demonstration of how satellite tags are fitted, using an expert who has helped set up the scheme. sending an alert if somebody does do an area somebody does go to an area they are banned from or attending a rehabilitation course. gives us a very detailed information as to where that person potentially has been, where they have been tracked and it gives us evidence to be able to present to thejustice agency, to take that appropriate action. the satellite tracking has been

operating in three areas since last november. it will be rolled out across england and wales by the summer, tags will monitor four thousands of people every year and it will be used in cases of domestic abuse and stalking to keep offenders away from victims. david was the first politician to tried satellite tracking, lodging the scheme when he was home secretary 15 years ago. the progress stalled due to contractual disputes, the government will be hoping that they will have more success this time. a planned visit by the chancellor to china, will now not go ahead. the news comes following reports that beijng pulled out of trade talks, after the defence secretary, gavin williamson, indicated

that the uk may be willing to deploy a warship in the pacific. earlier, i spoke to our political correspondent, jonathan blake, who told me cancellation of the trip was confirmed by the treasury this morning. philip hammond is not travelling to china as it stands and they also said that no trip was ever announced or confirmed and that is true. but there have been some plans in the works for him to make a brief visit to china and hold trade talks with senior members of the chinese government and this is that a key time after brexit when the uk will be looking to boost it straight to boost it's trade with the country. and it does seem clear release from the chinese site that and it does seem clear at least from the chinese side that it is not going to happen for now, as you mentioned, this comes a few days after the secretary made that speech which some interpreted as hostile towards china, talking about sending a voyage to the pacific in the uk having a permanent presence in the region. also saying that china was developing its modern military commercial power.

indications that that speech is caused china to pull the plug on this has been denied but it is fair to say that the comments did raise eyebrows and it has not helped. what does it say about the uk china relationships at the moment? on one hand you have a clear concern on china's growing military power, reach and influence in the world and the need to counter that or keep a check on it somehow. and the importance that philip hammond is keen to pursue a close economic relationship with china. china is britain's fifth largest trading partner, our relationship is worth around £60 billion a year and after brexit, when the uk is able to do more bilateral trade deals, the government will undoubtedly be looking to improve on that and build on that. but this episode demonstrates that it's going to be a

particularly sensitive relationship and at times, a difficult one to handle. the headlines on bbc news. thejustice secretary has said, the government's main priority has to be the safety of the public, when considering the case of shameema baygum. a 27—year—old man has appeared in court, charged with the murders of 3 elderly men in exeter. and the funeral of footballer, emiliano sala , who was killed when his plane crashed into the channel, has been taking place in his native argentina. nigeria's president, muhammadu buhari, has appealed for calm, after the country's presidential elections were postponed. the decision to delay the vote for a week, was announced just a few hours before polling stations were due to open across the country. electoral officials say the delay was down to the transportation of electoral material, and was not a result of external pressure.

the bbc s mayeni jones has more from yola in the north east of the country. up to disappointment. voters across nigeria aren't happy, many people had to travel long distances to cast their vote. in president muhammadu buhari's hometown, they were surprised. i was not expecting the election was going to be postponed, because we have seen the president is in the town when we have seen many people are coming from far places to come to their hometown and cast their vote, so why aren't they accepting it? i couldn't believe it until i come out, i knowjust come out, people are just standing. others have vowed to show up again next week. it's important to me to do the vote, because if you don't do the vote, you will not, you are still... but if you do the vote, we will see change. a few polling stations we visited here in the northeast of

the country are completely empty, no valid papers, and no people. and life seems to be carrying on as normal, nigerians are used to delayed elections, the last two poles in 2011, and 2015, were also postponed. the announcement of the delay came in the early hours of saturday, when most people were in bed. following a careful review, of the implementation of the logistics and operational plan, and the determination to conduct free, fair, and credible elections, the commission came to the conclusion that proceeding with the election is no longerfeasible. some offices of the electoral commission have been burnt over the last two weeks, and voting materials including ballot papers haven't made it to the polling stations late on friday night. turn out on election day is usually low in nigeria, and there

are concerns many of these voters now won't bother showing up next week. hundreds of senior decision—makers from around the world are meeting at the 55th munich security conference. the failure of the intermediate—range nuclear forces treaty, brexit uncertainty and recent disunity in europe s foreign policy approach are only some of the security risks the high—level conference is meant to address. conference chief wolfgang ischinger has called it the "largest and most importa nt" munich security conference since its founding more than 50 years ago. speaking at that conference, us vice president mike pence pressed european countries to withdraw from a nuclear deal between iran and major powers. he also urged the european union to stop undermining the us sanctions on iran. the time has come for all of us to act. for our

european partners to stop undermining us sanctions against this murderous revolutionary regime. the time has come for our european partners to stand with us and with the iranian people, our allies and friends in the region. the time has come for our european partners to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal and join us as we bring the economic and diplomatic pressure necessary to give the iranian people, the region and the world the peace, security and freedom they deserve. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is at the conference, and she's been explaining what else is on the agenda, aside from iran. it has been interesting to see of the years of the very concept of security is changing here. now you have panels about health workers, education, women and security and hunger. the world food programme is here,

we are joined by the director. this is a security conference, what is the head of the world food programme doing here? one thing we are learning is that if you do not have food security, you do not have any other type of security. there's so many complex, if we address the root cause, we will solve the problem of migration, bring stability to regions, we have seen that anecdote in and if we do and in experience if we do not address it you will have destabilized, fragile governments where extreme groups will try to destabilise the end use food as a weapon of war, we use it as a weapon of peace and stability. and those where we need to focus on the root cause, so that

is why we are here. and is it getting worse? yes it is. i believe they're beginning to understand that we must do more in africa, to stabilise the middle east, what is happening in yemen and syria and the greater region, every five to ten seconds, a child is dying from hunger. we have seen the severe hunger rate and these are the people that are marching toward starvation. and it has risen in the last two years from 80 to 124 million people. and that makes them vulnerable to these extremist groups, but if we can come in with stable programmes, effective programmes and truly bring about food security, you will see so many issues go away and it's a lot cheaper to do it right on the front end. i think a lot of the european leaders and americans are beginning

to understand this must be addressed effectively upfront. on the brink of what the un because the worst famine in living memory, yemen. yemen is absolutely a catastrophe. i've heard leaders are saying it's about to become one, and i say no, it is a catastrophe. a nation of 29 million people, 20 million people are food insecure, 12 to 14 million people on the brink of starvation, we are now trying to scale up to ten to 12 million people. access, complexities, war, front lines, landmines, it is a very hostile atmosphere. the best solution is to end the war because that is what's driving the hunger rate around the world. very good to speak to you. emphasising there that even food, people's right to eat is now a weapon of war.

one of the many powerful messages coming out from this year's security conference. a few other stories in the news this hour. one of britain's busiest railway lines will be closed for 9 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. the swiss actor bruno ganz has died at the age of 77. he rose to prominence as the star of german films like, ‘wings of desire‘ and ‘nosferatu‘, but he will probably be best remembered for his intense portrayal of adolf hitler in the 2004 film ‘downfall‘, which was nominated

for ‘best foreign language film‘ at the academy awards. now it‘s time for a look at the weather with darren bett hello there. it is staying mild throughout this weekend. the winds are still coming in from the south. they will strengthen overnight. we will see the cloud thickening in western scotland and northern ireland to bring rain and drizzle at times. further east, a lot of that low cloud will get pushed northwards on the strengthening winds and out into the north sea. skies tending to clear. it should not get too cold because of the breeze. lows of four or five degrees. to the west we have ragged rain moving in. further east, sunshine. it will cloud over in the afternoon. as the rain clears the west, sunshine following in the afternoon. showers for northern ireland and western scotland. windier than today. still mild. 12—14 degrees. monday sees a lot of cloud for the south east and east anglia. a little drizzle for a while.

elsewhere, brighter skies and sunshine. increasing blustery showers blown into scotland, north ireland and the northwest of england, some of them heavy. mild but not quite as mild. good evening. a memorial service has taken place in argentina for the football player, emiliano sala — who died in a plane crash last month. about 2,500 people took part in the public vigil in the player‘s hometown of progreso. the 28—year—old was killed two days after signing for cardiff city. the club‘s manager neil warnock attended a private funeral this evening. from progreso, natalio cosoy reports. the body of emiliano sala leaves the grounds of his childhood football club, san martin de progreso, in argentina. his relatives, friends and neighbours came to say goodbye

to their local hero as a private funeral. translation: he neverforgot his funeral. translation: he never forgot his roots so people have a fond memory of him. he spent his early years developing his foot all skills here. he left aged 14 to pursue bigger opportunities. he was flying from france to cardiff when his plane disappeared over the english channel on january the 21st. the bluebirds had played a record of £50 million for the transfer from league 1. two weeks later the wreckage was found and shortly afterwards the body was recovered. the pilot, david ibbotson, is still missing. representatives from his new club travel to argentina for the service today. people say he never played for you but he was my player. the feelings i had, i chased and got a wanted him and he said i will get

you the goal is to keep you up in the premier league and i said, i know you will. no cameras were allowed inside the building where the funeral took place. the mourners sat in front of emiliano sala‘s coffin. they were silent, some of them were praying. the coffin was surrounded by wreaths and there was a banner that read "the legacy will be eternal". ahead of the service today his boyhood club, san martin de progreso, posted a message on social media saying, we‘re waiting for you, like the first day that you left but this time, to stay with us forever. eternally in our hearts. thejustice secretary david gauke says the government‘s main priority has to be the safety of the public, when considering the case of shamima begum. the family of the pregnant teenager — who left britain to join the islamic state group — say they‘d welcome a police investigation into her actions — but want the government to help bring her home.

sophie long reports. this is the al—hawl camp in northern syria, where the 19—year—old from east london is living as she awaits the birth of her third child. shamima begum says both her son and daughter died, and she wants herfamily, who had feared they would never see her again, have asked the government to help them get her home. but the justice secretary says there are risks to allowing people like shamima begum to return to britain, and they would look at her case very closely. what has to be the priority of the british government is ensuring the protection of the british people as a whole. we do have a number of powers in this area. we have to act within those powers. but we need to make sure that the british people are not put unnecessarily at risk. in a statement, shamima begum‘s family said... "as a british citizen, she has every expectation to be returned to the uk, and be dealt with under the british justice system.

shamima‘s child, who will also be british, has every right as a total innocent to have the chance to grow up in the peace and security of this home." shamima begum‘s case is not unique. some 850 people left the uk to join so—called islamic state. around half have already come back. some working against extremism say there needs to be more focus on what caused her to go, to prevent others doing the same. i realise that she is a bit of a poster girl of that phenomenon of those young girls going off tojoin daesh. but, if we take stock of what‘s happened, we need to see, how did she got there and how we can stop other people from going down that route? home secretary said he will not hesitate to prevent supporters of terrorist organisations

from returning to britain. and if they do make it back there will be questioned and potentially prosecuted. it is unclear what that will mean for shamima begum, who was just 15 when she left the uk for syria. but if she is allowed to return home, she will have to answer for her actions. sophie long, bbc news, at the home office. the american vice—president, mike pence says the islamic state group in iraq and syria has been decimated. earlier a commander with kurdish forces fighting is said that they‘ve nearly captured all of their territory. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in munich — where mr pence was speaking. lyse, we‘re expecting an announcement on the defeat of is over coming days? president trump yesterday said he would be making a major announcement about the territory controlled by so—called islamic state, the caliphate. it used to include large swathes of iraq and syria but now they‘re down to their one last mile, they‘re down to their one last mile, the end of the caliphate matters. it

has been this lodestone for the slimmest the world over but islamic state is much more than blind. it is this powerful idea and inspiration that has been feeding on local grievances in iraq and syria and they have not gone away and in fact they‘re coming back. fuelled by a sense of abuse at the hands of local security forces and anger that homes destroyed in the war against is have not been rebuilt. and the is fighters, thousands of them, have melted back into society. they are adapting their tactics and still attacking and a fascinating. so the caliphate may be going, but the conflict is not. the former archbishop of washington dc has become the first former cardinal to be defrocked by the vatican — over allegations of child abuse. theodore mccarrick, here on the right, says he has ‘no recollection‘ of the alleged sexual abuse. pope francis has ruled that no further appeals

by mccarrick will be allowed. a teenager has died two days after being stabbed outside a sixth form college in birmingham. the 16—year—old boy had been on life support since the incident in the highgate area on wednesday. another 16—year—old appeared in court — charged with attempted murder — before the boy died. an expected visit to china by the chancellor philip hammond will now not go ahead. it follows reports that beijng pulled out of trade talks after the defence secretary gavin williamson indicated that the uk may be willing to deploy a warship in the pacific. our political correspondent ben wright is here. how serious is this? as the government looks to life the armed brexit it is trying to make closer economic links with china and eventually once a new trade deal. the plan had been for the chancellor to have a low—key visit with chinese officials imminently. the treasury

today said that the visit was ever announced or confirmed but there has clearly been picked up and the visit 110w clearly been picked up and the visit now is not going ahead. it may or may not have something to do with this pretty lacklustre speech that the defence secretary gavin williamson made last monday talking about sending the uk‘s aircraft character —— carrier to the pacific. that will be noticed in china. and today the former chancellor george osborne said that the government china strategy was all conceivable and a reminder of how sensitive the relationship is between china and the uk. in recent years rainbow bootlaces have become a way for sportsmen and women to show their support for the lgbt community. but now non—league football team altrincham have taken it to a new level by playing a game in a whole rainbow kit. our reporterjo currie was at the match. altrincham football club was looking a little more colourful than usual this afternoon. and it was a scene also reflected in the changing room,
