hello. shamima begum, the teenager who left britain to join the extremist group the so—called islamic state, is to lose her british citizenship. she was 15 when she left. now 19, she's in a refugee camp in syria, with a newborn baby. a statement from her family in london says they are "very disappointed" at the news, and will consider all legal avenues to challenge the home office decision. daniel sandford has more details. shamima begum escaped from fierce fighting this month as the islamic state group she went to join as a teenager slowly loses its last piece of territory in syria. but returning to the uk became much harder today, as the government moved to take away her british nationality. a letter sent to her mother by the home office said... if apparently you show little remorse, if you join a death cult that has killed british citizens, beheaded british citizens, maimed thousands of our people,

there is no return from this. she caused outrage yesterday by equating the children killed in the manchester bomb two years ago with people being bombed by coalition forces in is—held areas of syria. like the women and children in baghuz that are being killed right now, unjustly, by the bombings. it's a two—way thing. at the weekend, shamima begum gave birth to a baby boy, who she was carrying under her clothes when the bbc interviewed her, but that doesn't seem to have affected the home office's decision. it seems to be a bit of a knee—jerk reaction. the family are very, very surprised at that. essentially, she has never been to bangladesh. there was a lot in the social media saying that she was born there, never been there. she's only been in britain. so it seems to be a bizarre decision, and i'm not entirely sure how that will stand up legally. in order to deprive someone

of their british citizenship, the home secretary needs to be satisfied that doing so is... and that they've conducted themselves in a manner that is... he must also be sure that they're... it now transpires that the mother of ms begum appears to be a bangladesh national. by bangladesh law, that would mean that ms begum is a bangladesh national. that means that she doesn't have only british nationality. therefore, if her british nationality is removed, she is not stateless. tonight, the home office said it wouldn't comment on individual cases, but that any decisions to deprive individuals of their citizenship are based on all available evidence and are not taken lightly. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the home office. our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville has interviewed shamima begum. he's in northern syria.

when i spoke to shamima begum yesterday, she was still intent on returning to the united kingdom. she managed to make it all the way here to syria without a british passport. she used her sister's passport to get from britain, travel to turkey, and then crossed into syria, joining the islamic state group. when i asked her if she had a second passport, a bangladeshi passport, she avoided the question. she said she's never been to bangladesh. of course, britain has stripped other british is supporters here in syria of their citizenship, but only dual nationals. orso, he may or so, he may still be entitled to his citizenship because he was born before his mother lost hers. this is not in the headache for the british government because in the last week, another dozen vidic women have

arrived here in northern syria. —— dozen women. let's get some of the day's other news. white house officials pushed a plan to build nuclear power reactors in saudi arabia, ignoring legal and ethical warnings. that is the claim from whistleblowers, in a detailed report released by a house committee. the plan was described by one senior official as a scheme to make some money for those involved. joan ryan has become the eighth member of the uk parliament to leave the opposition labour party within 48 hours. she's blamed what she calls its tolerance of a "culture of anti—jewish racism". the enfield north mp will now sit with the seven backbenchers who resigned on monday to form an independent group. pakistan's government has said it will retaliate if delhi responds to the latest militant attack in indian—administered kashmir. the islamist group jaish—e—mohammed says it carried out the attack, but the indian government believes pakistani intelligence was involved. prime minister imran khan says india should provide evidence for its allegations.

new laws to punish anti—semitism. translation: the reason i am here is first of all to show the solidarity of the entire nation and our shame at seeing this, our determination to be together in these moments and pledge my full determination to fight anti—semitism. pledge my full determination to fight anti-semitism. the vandalism was discovered just hours before rallies across france in protest at the recent wave of anti—semitic attacks, thousands gathered in paris, their message is enough. translation: it is something that strikes fear, that brings back bad memories. we want to show younger generations that there is another path to take than this one. generations that there is another path to take than this onelj generations that there is another path to take than this one. i do not exactly know why they are angry at the dues. in 1944 to 1945, they were angry at the jewish people and continues today. —— jewish people.

his campaign team say they raised $1 million within four hours of his announcement. he told supporters it's time to complete the "political revolution" they started. we are running against a president who is a pathological liar, a fraud, a racist, sexist, a xenophobe, and someone a racist, sexist, a xenophobe, and someone who is undermining american democracy as he leads us in an authoritarian direction. i'm running for president because now more than ever we need leadership and brings us ever we need leadership and brings us together, not divide us up. -- that brings us together. live now to los angeles and to michael ceraso. michael you were bernie sanders' campaign director in california in 2016. are not going to ask if you think is going to get the democratic party nomination, of course you do. what is platform likely to be?” nomination, of course you do. what is platform likely to be? i think you ‘s platform is going to be a combination of what he ran on in 2016, declaring that many of the topics he talked about from increasing the minimum wage to infrastructure development, to medicare for all, to education for

all. -- is medicare for all, to education for all. —— is platform. those are the issues he is going to talk about but i think is going to take it further, for him to have a viable shop this time is going that talk about issues that pertain to states like south carolina, where he is going to have to talk about issues that pertain to communities of colour, he is going to talk about infrastructure development for many of these downtrodden communities that cannot develop by themselves, that need support and federal aid. develop by themselves, that need supportand federalaid. he develop by themselves, that need support and federal aid. he is going to talk about the it took in 2016 and say i shifted the democratic party, i reinvented the democratic party, i reinvented the democratic party and change the countenance of the democratic party that this is where we are going now, less talk and more action. you talk about south carolina, african—american voters have a real problem with bernie sanders. i think that bernie sanders can... he has a great opportunity to, now that he is back in the fold and running again, to build infrastructure in south

carolina. remember, in april2015 build infrastructure in south carolina. remember, in april 2015 he announced it was a longshot candidate, sea running as a message candidate. as the campaign went along, he was raising more and more money, he was able to invest more money, he was able to invest more money into the early states, but he did not know how long he was going to be in it. this time around, bernie sanders is very, very high. it is going to raise money and he is going to have time to create an infrastructure, raise issues and have a conversation with communities of colour, and i think he did not really have that opportunity and thatis really have that opportunity and that is why hillary clinton was able to win every count in south carolina last time. what about him even winning the nomination? surely age is going to be an issue? is 77 now, he is even older thanjoe biden, he's up against a field of very young, left—wing leading democrats.

i think every candidate in this field has very distinct vestiges. cory booker announced his message, his campaign message around love and brotherhood. —— messages. kamala harris has announced her messages around race in equality, social justice. elizabeth warren, her m essa 9 es justice. elizabeth warren, her messages about economic inequality. bernie sanders is going to be able to runa bernie sanders is going to be able to run a little bit on all of those m essa 9 es to run a little bit on all of those messages and also said i am the guy who is going to be able to step up against trump, to get the job done, to win the nomination on the presidency, and i think you can separate himself on those individuals and really put himself ina great individuals and really put himself in a great position to win. so don't think anybody, it is myself and many of the folks that i am associated with, are really looking at his age. they are looking at is he the person that can bring the message at the general election and defend that message and win hilary's voters? because that is what is going to need to do it is going to be winning this primary and also the general election. briefly, what about his

socialism? you election. briefly, what about his socialism ? you know election. briefly, what about his socialism? you know in the united states, that is kind of a dirty word. mrtrump states, that is kind of a dirty word. mr trump will be sure to use it. you know, republicans it is the socialist path on democrats for the last 30 years. we elected bill clinton and we elected barack obama, i think they are going to look at the strength of his economic policies. voters are going to look and say what is happening in my county? what is the economic road that trump, three? you're going to look and see that all of the economic promises that trump said he was aiming to bring have not happened, so a democrat in the primary nomination can use that and sam trying to bring people together, bring in economic platform, to bring newjobs, to partner bring in economic platform, to bring new jobs, to partner up bring in economic platform, to bring newjobs, to partner up with public and private enterprises to get the job done so you can have economic opportunities. it sound like we might be talking again, thank you very much. thanks, guys. think it is

being with us. —— thank you to you. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: the catholic church in india is hit by allegations of sexual abuse, and claims that top clergy have failed to address them. nine years and 15,000 deaths after going into afghanistan, the last soviet troops were finally coming home. the withdrawal completed in good order, but the army defeated in the task it had been sent to perform. malcolm has been murdered. that has a terrible effect on the morale of the people, i'm terrified of the repercussions in the streets. one wonders who is next. as the airlift got under way, there was no let—up in the eruption itself. lava streams from a vent low in the crater flowed down to the sea on the east of the island,

away from the town for the time being, but it could start flowing again at any time. the russians heralded their new generation space station with a spectacular night launch. they've called it mir, the russian for peace. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: the british government's revoking the citzenship of a teenager who ran away to join the islamic state group in syria. in france, thousands of people have taken to the streets protesting a recent rise in anti—semitic attacks. the catholic church has been hit by allegations of sexual abuse in india after a nun in the country accused a bishop of raping her multiple times. he's been arrested and released on bail and denies the claims. there have been concerns raised about the vatican's overall handling of numerous sex abuse allegations and pope francis is due to host a conference this week, focusing on how the church tackles the issue.

the bbc‘s yogita limaye reports from the southern indian state of kerala. a religious minority in india — close—knit, devout. it's a community that's now facing troubling questions about abuse and silence. in september last year, five nuns in the southern state of kerala started an unprecedented protest. they were demanding justice for a fellow nun who had accused a bishop of raping her 13 times. under indian laws, the complainant can't be identified, and so these nuns have been speaking on her behalf. they say she sent letters to top church officials, but not one replied. translation: it's the church authorities that have brought us out onto the streets. if they had given us one word of reassurance, we would never have come out in public. even now, they've closed their eyes.

and it's notjust top indian priests they reached out to. this letter was given to the vatican's ambassador in the country more than a year ago. another one was sent months later. the nuns say both went unanswered. the ambassador is also yet to respond to the bbc on what was done once the vatican became aware of the case. the accused is this man, bishop franco mulakkal. he was arrested and released on bail. when he returned to his church, he was given a grand welcome. he declined to be interviewed, but sent this statement to the bbc. "the matter is coming up shortly in court, let the court decide the truth of the matter." this comes at a time when the catholic church is battling allegations of abuse in many other parts of the world, too. so much so that the vatican has called for a conference on the issue.

but here in india, which millions of catholics call home, the church is yet to acknowledge or address the problem. that's despite a number of cases being reported from different parts of india. i remember very clearly how it started... i met one woman who only recently came out with her story. she says she was repeatedly abused by a member of a catholic institution as a child. at the age of five, when i had just started school, i was taken to this religious place for extra lessons, and that is when the abuse started. it went on for seven years. it was definitely more than once at least a week. it has affected me in, like, so many ways. and you know, um... the institution in question has started an inquiry. but she says her attempts to reach out to higher authorities ahead of the conference

have gone unanswered. a global spotlight is on the catholic church and how it deals with sexual abuse. here in india, it's yet to start the conversation. yogita limaye, bbc news, in kerala. president trump has said he is looking forward to a good meeting with north korea's leader kim jong—un — their second summit will be in vietnam at the end of february. mr trump said he wants pyongyang to denuclearise eventually, but that he is in no particular hurry. the first summit was in singapore lastjune — it was the first time serving leaders of the two countries had met. our correspondent laura bicker is in the south korean capital. well, kim jong—un's butler is said to be in the north by now, looking at places for kim jong—un to visit when he is at the summit next week. perhaps more substantially, the us envoy to north korea and his counterpart are also

on the way to hanoi to hold discussions. it is understood that the two will be agreeing some kind of framework, some kind of deal, that donald trump and kimjong—un had discussed during their summit next week. after the summit in singapore, theirfirst meeting lastjune, there was a lot of criticism that the agreement reached on the neutralisation was very vague. it has led the kind of a seven—month stalemate, but this time certainly speaking to those who have knowledge of these discussions, it does seem that substantial negotiations are under way. it will be a tough task at this time for the two sides to agree something on that. it may well be that they are looking out a framework, a timeline for that kind of sight to be totally dismantled and fork inspectors to get in to verify that. north korea does want sanctions lifted that they will have to offer something substantial, as far as i understand it. that could include the dismantling of its nuclear plants before those sanctions will be lifted,

and that is certainly something that the two sides will be looking to agree on when donald trump and kim jong—un meet next week. the fashion world is mourning a major loss. the designer karl lagerfeld has died after a short illness in paris. the creative director for chanel and fendi was known for his iconic designs, a sharp wit and his own very personal style. our paris correspondent, lucy wiliamson, looks back at his life. in a world that worships brands, karl lagerfeld enjoyed the status of a god. a workaholic with a sharp tongue and a brilliant eye for what would sell, he rescued the iconic fashion house chanel from its conservative tweed image, as well as turning out lines for fendi and his own label. his trademark dark glasses and white ponytail, in contrast to his lavish

fashion shows and elaborate sets, including one year a full—scale beach reconstructed inside a paris gallery. ijust do what my inner voices tell me. i'm thejoan of arc of design. karl otto lagerfeld was born in germany, but moved to paris where he studied fashion alongside fellow student yves st laurent. for decades, they remained rivals in work, but where st laurent reinvented the classics, lagerfeld focused on modern, teaming up with high street fashion chain h&m in a bid to make his designs more accessible. and well before yellow vests became a protest symbol, lagerfeld was photographed wearing one for a road safety campaign. "it's yellow, its ugly, it doesn't go with anything", the poster read, "but it could save your life". there were fears for karl lagerfeld's health earlier this year when he missed a show in paris. the last of a great generation of designers, his death marks the end of an era, notjust here at the labels where he worked, but across the fashion world.

at london fashion week today, the tributes came pouring in. you know, he'd say, this is how it's going to be or this is how it should be, and he always did things with such style. and, well, hejust had a wonderful aura about him. the man remembered as an icon and a genius left behind his own kind of tribute. "i'm like a caricature of myself", he was once reported as saying, "and i like that". there is more for you on karl lagerfeld and more on any news on the bbc website. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter — i'm @bbc mike embley.

hello again. our weather has been pretty mild over recent days but we're about to turn the heat up even further. yes, we'll be dragging up some air coming off the north—west of africa, pushing past spain, in towards the uk as we get towards the end of the week and into the weekend. that will boost temperatures and we could see highs, given a bit of sunshine, getting as high as 18. that is just about possible. it depends on how much sunshine we'll see and the next few days look cloudy even though we will be mild. this is the cloud we've got at the moment. the weather system is pushing north and east, bringing wet weather with it. over the next few hours, we have some rain around across scotland and northern england, a few spots into the midlands but it's largely but it

is largely dry in the south. some showers following to northern ireland. you'll notice a mild start to wednesday. temperatures in the range of 7—11. wednesday, a cloudy start for most with outbreaks of rain particularly across north—western areas. the rain could be quite heavy at times for wales, north—west england, western scotland, but there will be some sunshine coming out in the afternoon. the best chance of that is in east anglia, south—east england and also for the north—east of scotland, slowly brightening up for northern ireland. a mild day. temperatures between 11 and 14. through wednesday evening and overnight, most of the rain will ease for a time but there could be more spits and spots of light rain and drizzle a round western coasts and hills. another mostly mild night but with clearer skies towards the south—east and the countryside gets cooler here. for thursday, a greater prospect of seeing a little bit more in the way of sunshine breaking through. the best chance of that is the east of high ground, the midlands and eastern wales, not doing too badly. east of the pennines and eastern areas of scotland, whereas in the west,

a bit more cloud. it's notjust here in the uk that has the mild weather. temperatures on thursday up to 17 in paris and madrid and across the south of spain as we head the weekend, we could see the temperatures hit around 25 degrees celsius. looking at the charts towards the end of the week, pressure builds a bit further across england and that will punch a few more holes in the cloud. perhaps a bit of mist and fog for some to start but for most of us, there should be more in the way of sunshine to go around. the sunshine will boost the temperatures 14—15 degrees at least. you could see highs going a bit higher that that, given some decent cloud breaks. the fine, dry, mild spell of weather is set to continue through the weekend and for many of us it looks dry into next week as well. that's your latest weather, bye—bye.
