deadline won't slip. thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. please guys in cardiff and other parts of wales as well. this picture came from one of our weather watchers in powys. temperature is already as high as 17. there are winners and losers in today's weather. look at this we recently intent. temperature is more like 7 degrees under a lot of cloud, mist and fog. as you can see, some southern parts of england, the far southern parts of england, the far south of wales, still having some of that mr hunter to contend with. some of this lingering. also a band of cloud in the north west of the uk. where we see those sunny spells, temperatures easily up to 17. some spots could reach 18. during the

evening and overnight, quite windy across north—west areas. not a strong further east. that will allow these areas to feed across east anglia, parts of the midlands and maybe into northern england. we could see fog patches. not an especially chilly night. through the weekend, we will see further mild or even warm days. there are some chilly nights to come. still the potential for fog in the chilly nights to come. still the potentialforfog in the mornings. a frontal system pushing in from the west during tomorrow. this looks like it will bring some cloud and patchy rain across northern ireland, then moving into western scotland and maybe eventually west wales and west cornwall. further east, some poor travelling conditions first thing. for some, that cloud will linger in eastern england. that might spoil things a bit. many places some sunshine and again we see unseasonable warmth. remember that bank few front in the west. it slides further east. providing moisture to give us more in the way

of mist and fog. through the night into early sunday we will see temperatures dipping away. a touch of frost particularly across the south—east of the uk. a foggy start for some and some of the fog slow to clear. stick with it. i sunday afternoon most of us should be back to sunny skies. as temperatures look a bit lower but in february we should be seeing 6—9. the start of next week, high pressure still with us, as we next week, high pressure still with us, as we go next week, high pressure still with us, as we go through the week watching the atlantic because it looks increasingly likely that eventually frontal systems will push in turning more unsettled. plenty more of this fine, dry and often warm weather to come but with some chilly nights and a bit of fog. that's all from the bbc news at one — we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. chelsea have been banned from signing players by fifa in the next two transfer windows for breaching rules in relation to youth players. the ban, until the end of january 2020, doesn't prevent the release of players and won't apply to their women's and futsal teams. it comes following an investigation into chelsea's signing of foreign under—i8 players, including former striker bertrand traore. fifa says it found breaches in 29 cases out of 92 investigated. in a statement chelsea say the club "categorically refutes the findings and will therefore be appealing the decision." adding that it "respects the important work undertaken by fifa in relation to the protection of minors and has fully cooperated throughout its investigation. " the manager is under huge pressure, they won last night so that is a bit of respite but they will be looking to make signings in summer, they have an ageing squad and they can

however if this ban stays in place bring players back from loan. they have 41 players out on loan at the moment and it is likely that an appeal might delay it, so it is not all doom and gloom for chelsea just yet but it is very important use. chelsea meanwhile will face ukrainian side dynamo kiev in the last 16 of the europa league after that draw was made this afternoon. maurizio sarri's side eased past malmo 5—1 over two legs, winning 3 nil at stamford bridge last night. arsenal will take on french side rennes. both will play at home in the first leg on the 7th of march with the return games a week later. england's women suffered a heavy defeat against india in the first of 3 one day internationals losing by 66 runs in mumbai. set 203, england were well placed at iii—3 before nat siver was brilliantly run out. that began a collapse of seven wickets for 25 runs, with england bowled out for 136 with heather knight's side losing their last ii wickets for no runs that's all the sport for now. you can find more

thomas campbell. until now media organisations have not been able to report his name, that was because of the way the law reviews young people as being vulnerable individuals. but lord matthews are saying that he could not think of a previous crime that attracted such revulsion and he said that it was in the public interest for campbell to be named. this is a crime that has shocked not only scotland but the whole country. this boy who killed a six—year—old girl in what the court heard was a beastie manner. the 16—year—old is facing a life sentence after being found guilty of rating and murdering her while she was visiting her grandparents on holiday. judge lord matthews saying he committed some of the wickedest most evil crimes the court had ever heard, so until now the boy had not been identified for

let's go back to politics and the morning that theresa may could be facing a rebellion of quite a few previously loyal tory mps over the prospect of a no—deal brexit. and also of course the news today that another labour mp has resigned from the party. let's go to a political correspondentjonathan the party. let's go to a political correspondent jonathan blake lewis at westminster. problems for both party leaders, theresa may and jeremy corbyn this afternoon. that's right, ian austin becoming the ninth labour mp to resign his seatin the ninth labour mp to resign his seat in what has been a watershed week here at westminster were mps seat in what has been a watershed week here at westminster were mp5 on both conservative and labour sites have decided they have had enough. and as you mentioned, there are problems as well for theresa may around brexit, because that is the deadline of the 29th of march coming ever closer and the clock ticks down, mines are being focused. we

heard from downing street that work is continuing at pace to try and get the changes to the withdrawal agreement around the controversial backstop because designed to prevent the hard bordering ireland in all circumstances. and those also worried about a no—deal brexit are also making new warnings, a letter has gone to the conservative chief whip and the prime ministerfrom has gone to the conservative chief whip and the prime minister from the brexit delivery group, they are a grouping of mps in parliament representing both former remainders and plexi tears who would like to support the prime minister's brexit deal but are warning in a letter to the prime minister that some of them at least will be prepared to vote in favour of an amendment next week which may come before the house of commons which puts parliament in charge and gives mps the power to delay the brexit process and force the hand of the government to perhaps force an extension to article 50 so the uk would not leave

the eu on time for the 29th of march next year. no formal response from the government other than them saying that this morning work continues at pace to get those changes that mps want to see and the prime minister will be meeting more of her eu counterparts at the summit in egypt over the weekend. thank you. and taking you back to that breaking news this error that a judge in scotla nd news this error that a judge in scotland has ruled that the teenager who murdered six—year—olds alesha macphail can be publicly named now, until this afternoon the media were not allowed to name that boy, but he has been named now as aaron thomas campbell, who the court had heard had killed alesha macphail in a peace deal manner and had been found guilty yesterday, of rating and murdering the young girl when she was visiting her grandparents on

holiday. let's go to laura gordon in glasgow crown court with the very latest. what more can you tell us? a short hearing this morning at the high court hearing glasgow, the end of which we were able to publish to reveal that aaron thomas campbell is the name of the 16—year—old who raid and murdered six—year—old alicia macphail on the isle of bute last july. the young girl who had gone to the island to visit her father and grandparents, who had spent the last weekend of her life going to the rothesay gala, riding on donkeys, who had kissed herfather good night as he tucked into bed on the sunday evening, and that was the last time he saw her alive. that evening aaron campbell stole into their house and carry the little girl away before killing her. she suffered what was

described during the trial as brutal and catastrophic injuries, hundred and catastrophic injuries, hundred and 17 in total. this was of course and 17 in total. this was of course a crime that shocked the small community on rothesay, an island where people often left their doors and cars unlocked. and indeed it is and cars unlocked. and indeed it is a crime that has shocked people right across scotland. aaron campbell was protected, his identity was protected by law because he was under the age of 18, but media organisations this morning made submissions that the protection should be lifted. they said that his age, his vulnerability, his article to write, the collateral, possible collateral damage to his family should be balanced and set against the public interest because of the nature of his crimes, most strikingly perhaps the nature of his defence where he falsely tried to blame a 19—year—old girl for his crime. thejudge agreed

blame a 19—year—old girl for his crime. the judge agreed with the submissions, agreed to lift his anonymity, so now for the first time we can name the colour of alesha macphail and we can also show images of the killer of alesha macphail. he will face a life sentence for his crimes, that sentence will be handed down next month but he has already been warned that his release may never come. the court during the trial heard some really harrowing evidence, and i know members of the jury were actually offered counselling after hearing that evidence. and in deciding to name aaron campbell the judge saying that he felt it was in the public interest for him to be named? yes thejudge lord named? yes the judge lord matthews said named? yes thejudge lord matthews said he could not think of a previous crime that had attracted such revulsion, the attempt, the submission to get

what is called a section 48 order lifted is highly unusual, but then of course as we have heard throughout this trial and as we have heard of the hearing at the high court hearing glasgow this morning, this is an unusual crime in terms of the level of ferocity inflicted upon a little girl and a small island community, and in terms of the nature of the defence that aaron campbell tried to put forward, claiming the teenage girlfriend of ales ha claiming the teenage girlfriend of alesha macphail‘s father for the murder. it was a short hearing, there was a submission from a qc representing several media organisations, the crown prosecution authority seat in scotland said they we re authority seat in scotland said they were taking a largely neutral position on this for the defence, the qc argued about concerns over self—harm and potential danger towards aaron campbell in naming

him, but ultimately the judge decided that it was in the public interest to name aaron campbell as the matter of alesha macphail. —— as the matter of alesha macphail. —— as the murderer of alesha macphail. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. ian austin becomes the ninth mp to quit labour this week, and attacks the party for failing to tackle anti—semitism. researchers believe post—traumatic stress disorder is affecting hundreds of thousands of young people in the uk. a special fly—past to mark 75 years since a world—war—two plane crashed in sheffield, killing 10 us airmen. good afternoon. time for the business news. dairy crest, the producer of cathedral city cheese and country life butter, has agreed to be bought

by a canadian firm. the takeover by saputo, which one of the biggest dairy processors in the world, values dairy crest at £975 million. it's the first time saputo has invested in europe and it's promised to expand dairy crest‘s operations in the uk. asda has been named britain's least favourite supermarket in a survey by the consumer group, which? the other major supermarkets, morrisons, sainsburys, tesco and iceland also scored poorly for their in—store offering and own—brand lines. waitrose and marks & spencer were britain's two favourite supermarkets followed by the german discounters, aldi and lidl. consolidation is on the cards in sub—prime credit: the lender non—standard finance has made a £1.3bn takeover offer for rival provident finance. the so—called doorstep lender — which specialises in loans for borrowers with poor credit ratings — has had financial troubles of its own.

it's an uncertain time for the british economy and this week, 3,500 people in swindon learned of their very certain fate with news that the honda factory there will be closing in 2022. it followed disappointing news that nissan has backtracked on expansion plans at its factory in sunderland and jaguar land rover planning thousands of uk job losses; prompting many to wonder about the future of car manufacturing here. natalie sauber, is an auto industry analyst at arcadis. naturally, let's put this into a global context, there is a global slow—down going on, a global problem in the whole car industry. how to be fit into that? are we worse off than other countries in this respect or is everybody suffering? that is a good point. i don't think we are worse off, brexit definitely does create uncertainty within the

uk economy and far wider reaching but as you mention we must look at it on but as you mention we must look at itona but as you mention we must look at it on a global scale and yes china sales are going down, the risk in diesel is obviously quite significant and consumer confidence towards the uptake of diesel is slowing down as well. there are a few implications to be looked out for sure. to try and get the magnitude of these problems, diesel for instance, how big a problem is that for the uk? rather significant, you can already see that most of the oems you can already see that most of the 0ems are really transitioning their retail portfolio from their existing fleet to encompassing all electric vehicles, and also moving on to autonomous vehicles, per se, so there is a shift as well as men also, policy and regulations are now becoming more important as we speak, so car manufacturers are now more than ever urged not only by the policy regulators but also by the public to really make a significant step change in producing their vehicles and doing it in a more

sustainable and efficient way. you have this massive change going on at the car industry as we move from the internal combustion engine to electric, which has not quite really started, but is about to start. how much of that business is going to land in the uk do you reckon?‘ significant chunk, we are still home to one of the major car manufacturers in the world and that is definitely not going to decrease any time soon. rolls—royce for example just reconfirmed their commitment to the uk to continue producing their vehicles as well and some of the others, the smaller car manufacturers, are also very much aligned with that. lets talk specifically about brexit, is that directly affecting the car industry or is it isjust directly affecting the car industry or is it is just one amongst many other considerations they must have when deciding where to put their business? we believe it is definitely one contributing factor but as we have already mentioned before, some of the more global

issues impacting it and i believe the auto manufacturing industry at the auto manufacturing industry at the moment is facing a lot of pressure from all of the different outside forces coming in, whereas brexit contributes as one. thank you. energy supplier solarplicity has been banned from taking on new customers by the industry regulator. 0fgem said it was because of its poor switching process and customer service. the regulator also banned the company from increasing vulnerable customers' direct debits. the restrictions will remain in place for three months, 0fgem said, unless solarplicity "significantly improves" its service. the price of a 1st class stamp is to increase by 3p to 70p and a 2nd class stamp will go up by 3p to 61p. royal mail said it reviews prices "very carefully" and claims that its stamps are among the best value in europe. a consortium including virgin atlantic has completed its purchase of assets belonging to the troubled airline flybe.

the adult female tortoise was found on the island of fernandina in the west of the pacific archipelago, off the coast of ecuador. katie silver reports. many of the 1a giant tortoise species found in the galapagos were wiped out when islands were colonised in the 18th 19th centuries. now after last being cited in 1906 the fernandina giant tortoise appears to be back. it was discovered in a thicket of vegetation on fernandina island, one of the youngest and most pristine in the galapagos archipelago. translation: it is perhaps the most important discovery in the last century, there have been multiple investigations and monitoring projects in the island and not a single individual had been located. she is believed elderly, over 100 years old, authority to recite its tracks and excrement in other parts of the island hope that she

is not the only one. if we find more female individuals and hopefully males, we can immediately start a breeding programme in captivity for this species here in santa cruz. giant tortoises can reach more than 200 kilograms and are believed to have arrived on the remote volcanic island chain around 3 million years ago. the most famous, lonesome george, was found in 1972. but with scientists unable to find out he died a0 years later as the last of his species. as for this tortoise, the scientists need to confirm using genetic testing that it is definitely a member of the longest species. then they hope to set her up in a captive breeding programme and the fernandina tortoise species may live on. now it's time for a look at the weather.

good afternoon, in a word it is looking nice, because we have more of this sunny warm weather to come across just about all parts of the ukfor across just about all parts of the uk for this weekend. not quite for all of us, we have the best of the sunshine today and this is some of the best of it from our weather watcher empowers, temperatures as high as 17 degrees in west wales at the moment but contrast that with the moment but contrast that with the scene here on the kent coast. mist and fog. that has held temperatures back, more like 7 degrees in these foggy areas at the moment. the satellite pictures show where we have this mixture of low cloud and mist and fog, some of which is really struggling to clear from the south. also this stripe of cloud bringing the odd spot of rain across northern ireland and western scotland, nothing too significant but away from these areas we have the best of the sunshine with temperatures easily 16 or 17 degrees and were two spots and popping up to 80 degrees for the afternoon is

done. during this evening tonight the united states when the across western parts of the uk, at the same time the area cloud and fog spreads northwards into east anglia and parts of the midlands, may be the north of england and there could be dense fog patches by tomorrow morning. it is not going to be a particularly cold night but there will be some chilly nights at times throughout this coming weekend. dry mile dies as well, still the potential for some foggy mornings and one more ingredient, a bit of a flying ointment of our fine weather study, this weather frontier moving its way into across northern ireland through the morning, bringing outbreaks of patchy rain that eventually gets into western scotland. fringing at a west wales and west cornwall before the day is done. further east we start off with some of those fog patches which could be quite dense, some grey murky weather could hang on all day long in parts of eastern england. that will pick temperatures back but for the majority in the sunshine it is another very warm day for the time of year. this fronted the west will weaken, it tries to stagger further eastwards and introduces the

potential for cloud and fog as temperatures drop away. early on sunday morning we could well start off at the touch of frost across the south—east, also the north—east of scotla nd south—east, also the north—east of scotland saw a chillier start on sunday morning. potential as we can see some patches of cloud and fog which tend to clear and by sunday afternoon we should be looking at sunny skies for the most part. temperatures may be down a little bit but 12-15, still temperatures may be down a little bit but 12—15, still way above average at this point and late friday. next week starts off with high pressure still in charge but slowly, surely, a high—pressure retreat and there is the increasing chance by the end of the week that the atlantic breaks back, we see frontal systems and that means things will turn a little bit more u nsettled. things will turn a little bit more unsettled. but not just things will turn a little bit more unsettled. but notjust yet, plenty of fine weather between now and then with the potential for some fog.
