this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: theresa may faces pressure from within the government as senior conservative colleagues send a strong warning about her brexit strategy. after a week of resignations at westminster, labour faces another mp quitting the party — ian austin becomes the ninth labour mp to leave — with a scathing attack onjeremy corbyn. there has been a culture of extremism and intolerance that has been allowed to develop, and anti—semitism that has been allowed to develop and flourish. mr corbyn said he regretted his departure — adding that he remained committed to tackling injustice and inequality. aaron campbell, the teenager who raped and murdered six—year—old alesha macphail, can now be identified — after a judge lifted the ban on him being named.

the r&b singer r kelly is charged with ten counts of sexual abuse — some involving minors. a flypast for ten us servicemen who died in a crash watched by the pensioner who campaigned to honour the dead. that was worth waiting 66 years for. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers home affairs editor at the evening standard, martin bentham and economist and author of the great economists, linda yueh — stay with us for that. good evening. labour has suffered its ninth resignation of the week, as the mp ian austin quit the party

— while delivering a blistering attack on its leader, jeremy corbyn. mr austin said a culture of extremism, intolerance and anti—semitism within labour had left him ashamed. also tonight, theresa may is under pressure from senior members of her own party over her approach to brexit with three cabinet ministers publicly stating that they're prepared to defy her and vote to delay brexit. we'll be live in westminster with more on that shortly — but first this report by our chief political correspondent vicki young — which does contain some flashing images. jeremy corbyn‘s under pressure — struggling to keep his party together after a week of turmoil. eight of his mps walked out, accusing him of allowing a culture of bullying, anti—semitism and intimidation to take hold. now, ian austin has quit too, saying mr corbyn isn't fit to be prime minister. i think underjeremy corbyn‘s leadership there's been a culture of extremism and intolerance that's been allowed to develop,

and anti—semitism that's been allowed to develop and has flourished. and i thinkjeremy corbyn has not taken it seriously enough, and i think he's incapable, if i'm honest, of dealing with it properly, and i think he's refused to get to grips with it. mr austin says he's notjoining the new independent group set up this week by other disgruntled colleagues. he doesn't agree with them about the need for another brexit referendum. mr corbyn is in spain today, holding meetings about brexit. this was his response to the latest defection. i'm sorry that he's decided to take that course of action. he was elected, like me, in 2017 at the general election under a manifesto that pledged to deal with poverty, injustice, and inequality in britain. that's how he was elected, that's how i was elected, and i think we should be campaigning on those issues. when other labour mps, including luciana berger, resigned on monday, they partly blamed mr corbyn‘s failure to deal with anti—semitism. their message struck a chord with ian austin,

whose jewish adoptive father was forced to flee the nazis. he must have had a bit of a morning... he told his former colleague jess phillips that leaving labour had been a painful decision. i've been thinking that i should have been doing this for months, for a long time. but i watched luciana on monday, and i thought in the end you have got to stand with her. yeah, and do you think more will go now as well? i don't know, i mean, i haven't talked to other people about this. and in a sign of growing anger in the party, another labour mp, siobhain mcdonagh, criticised members for a wave of abuse directed at her after rumours she might quit. mr corbyn‘s allies say the mps who've defected never accepted his leadership and have been trying to undermine the labour party's prospects. the expectation, though, is that ian austin won't be the last to resign. and, as we've been hearing, three cabinet ministers have publicly stated that they're prepared to defy theresa may and vote to delay brexit. writing in the daily mail, amber rudd, david gauke,

and greg clark say that if parliament fails to approve a deal, it would be better to extend article 50 and delay brexit to allow for more negotiations. 0ur political correspondent, nick eardley is at westminster for us this evening. nick, this is open defiance from these three cabinet ministers. yes, because government policy is and remains that the uk is leaving the european union on the 29th of march. this is a really significant intervention, because we know that these three have concerns about the prospect of no deal, but they are upping the ante by now saying, publicly, if there isn't a deal in the next few days the 29th of march will not happen. we will not leave the european union and because parliament will try and stop no deal. firstly, that puts pressure on

the prime minister, because we don't know yet whether there will be a new deal that will be brought back for parliament to vote on yet. downing street has not confirmed whether or not that is going to happen. it is still looking for concessions from the european union. secondly, it puts pressure on brexiteers, because this trio is arguing that if they vote against a tweaked deal, then it will lead to brexit being delayed and that will be their fault. but perhaps most significantly of all, it suggests that these three ministers are prepared to, if need be, defied the government and potentially resign to back attempts to stop no deal. this in a week where we have seen, you know, the real breakdown of discipline at westminster, this isjust another example and is right at the top. fascinating that they have decided to make this move publicly. clearly

it may well encourage others and other ministers to support this rabble vote, which could mean that the prime minister not only faces another defeat, but will have to decide how many ministers she is prepared to sack —— rebel. decide how many ministers she is prepared to sack -- rebel. we have also heard warnings from conservative backbenchers that potentially dozens of normally loyal tories are prepared to get on board with this as well. that is the brexit delivery group, which is a group of about 100 normally loyal backbenchers who, two or three dozen off, are considering getting on board with alternative plans next week. it really sets the next seven days up as being a huge crunch moment in this process. we have said that before, how many times have we sat there and save another big week as coming up? but it seems, tonight, that a number of conservatives that

have been prepared to bite their tongue, to kick the can a bit down the road, in previous crucial votes are now saying this is the time. our patience is running out. if a deal can't pass we will have to think of something else. just one other possible repercussion from this, though, is that perhaps those hardline brexiteers, if they are seriously worried about a potential delay to brexit, perhaps more of those could then decide to swallow their concerns and back the prime minister's deal. yes, that is quite possible. and i suspect that is a big part of the strategy that is being deployed by the three cabinet ministers, amber rudd, david gauke, and greg clark writing this letter. but also the backbenchers who are saying they might rebel as well. they are trying to say to the european research group, to

brexiteers, look, this is the chance, this is the chance to deliver on brexit and get a deal passed through parliament. but if you don't do it you risk bringing the whole house of cards down. they have made warnings before. and some on the erg have not been prepared to heed them. they are saying there is a chance, a good chance, a possibility at least that the prime minister, if she does bring another deal back next week, could get it through. there are some brexiteers who have softened their position, some who are desperate to find something that can get this over the line and get brexit delivered, and then we figure out what the future beyond the end of 2021 looks like. but there are others who continue to say that without legally binding changes, without something significant, we aren't getting on board. but there is going to be a

loss of tallying up of numbers and working out who could vote to which way over the next few days. but as i say, i think we are in for another big one. nick eardley, many thanks for the latest turbulence at westminster. the identity of the teenage boy who was convicted yesterday of the murder of six—year—old alesha macphail on bute, has now been revealed, after a judge lifted a ban on his name being reported. 16—year—old aaron campbell, who abducted, raped, and murdered alesha lastjuly, was initially given anonymity in news reports, because he's under 18. but media outlets, including the bbc, made a case for reversing the court order which protects his identity. lorna gordon reports. yo, what's up, guys? it's aaron campbell here... the first images of a teenage killer — freshfaced in the videos he posted on social media, they gave little clue of the cold, cunning murderer that he was. cctv from aaron campbell's own home

showed him acting strangely on the night he killed alesha macphail. his mother contacted police herself, hoping the footage would eliminate him from the investigation. his victim was described in court as a sweet, angelic, innocent girl. alesha was just six. she'd been visiting herfather and grandparents, who lived on the island, when campbell took herfrom her home and brutalised and killed her. because of his age, her murder‘s identity was protected by law, but following an application by eight media organisations to name him, that changed. judge lord matthews said, "i can't think of a case in recent times that has attracted such revulsion." "i intend to grant the application." "the press may name the accused and publish images of him." it's certainly a significant moment. it's not going to open the floodgates and get children under the age of 18 involved in court cases being identified.

it really needs to be looked at as being an exceptional case based on the circumstances of the criminal trial. this is believed to be the first time a murderer under 18 has had his anonymity lifted in scotland, though it has happened elsewhere. but there are concerns from some that revealing his identity may prove counter—productive. what i would say is this is a most terrible crime, and i hope we never see it again, but actually what we need is to rehabilitate this boy, and in order to do that, we shouldn't have named him. aaron campbell's acts were described as the wicked, most evil crimes the court had ever heard. he'll be sentenced next month but has already been warned his release never come. the depraved nature of the acts carried out against alesha macphail have incited strong emotions. there were shouts in the courtroom here as the guilty verdict

was read out. but the naming of campbell as her killer is unlikely to set any kind of precedent. a judge in any future case is entitled to take a different view, and a case such as alesha macphail‘s is extremely rare. lorna gordon, bbc news, at the high court in glasgow. the mother of a 15—year—old boy who died at the hillsborough disaster has told a jury how the football pitch "looked like a battleground". dolores steele is the first bereaved relative to give evidence in the trial of david duckenfield, who was in charge of policing at the 1989 fa cup semifinal. he denies gross negligence manslaughter. the singer r kelly has been charged with ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against four victims, two of whom were underage. the star, best known for his hit song i believe i can fly, has faced claims of sexual abuse against women and teenage girls for decades. 0ur correspondent

aleem maqbool reports. # i beleive i can fly... r kelly was at one point, quite simply, the biggest name in r&b, and he had massive crossover hits globally. through it all, though, allegations and rumours of sexual abuse against underage girls were never far away, and in 2008 he went to trial on charges of child pornography, after a tape surfaced, allegedly showing him having sex with a 13—year—old girl. but he was acquitted, when the jury decided the tape was not clear enough. some women were paid not to talk, but others started to come forward to say what had gone on. i did realise that he had a problem and i couldn't fix it... now prosecutors feel they have enough evidence to press charges relating to four victims. earlier today, robert kelly was indicted before a cook county grand jury on ten counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse. it appears a recent tv series speaking to alleged victims gave

others the confidence to come forward, too. to try to getjustice against one of the biggest selling us stars for abuse allegations going back more than two decades. after those ten counts relating to offences between 1998 and 2010 were listed, a judge he did issue an arrest warrant for r kelly. and while there are those who feel much more should have been done years ago, he is due to appear inside this very courthouse in the next 2a hours to finally face those charges of sexual abuse against underage girls. thousands of people gathered in sheffield this morning to mark the 75th anniversary of a crash which claimed the lives of ten american airmen. the flight path came about after a chance meeting between pensioner tony foles, who witnessed the crash as a young boy, and to

spend decades looking after a memorial park to him. normally tony foulds‘ daily visit to the war memorial in this sheffield park is a moment of quiet and solitary reflection. but today he was not alone. from first light, thousands had begun to arrive to share a very special moment. unbelievable, unbelievable. it's breathtaking, this. and then from a cloudless sky the planes began to arrive. his dream of a fly—past had come true. a commemoration that had begun with a chance encounter in the park with dan walker of bbc breakfast. the first thing i do, of course, is i always kiss them first.

tony explained how as an eight—year—old he watched a us bomber crash into a nearby woodland. he felt the crew might have survived if he hadn't been in the way. and so there were some complex emotions as he once again waved at the plane, just as he had done as a child in 19114. exactly 75 years on from that terrible day, here's tony in the exact same place, and who could have imagined what he's seeing today. does this help things for you? no, no. it never will. but surrounding him were thousands who had been touched by his story, including a relative of one of the plane crew. to know that today everyone is remembering him and the other nine and the service they gave, it just means more than words could ever convey. so many feelings. what a day for tony foulds.

it started off as more or less nothing. to see how many people have actually taken note, it's for these lads. they are family to me. david sillito, bbc news, sheffield. the headlines: three cabinet ministers have publicly stated that they're prepared to defy theresa may and vote to delay brexit. ian austin has become the ninth mp to quit labour this week, blaming leaderjeremy corbyn for "creating a culture of extremism and intolerance". ajudge rules the identity of the teenage boy who raped and murdered 6—year—old alesha macphail to be revealed — he's16—year—old aaron campbell. at least two people have died and several others have been injured in clashes at venezuela's border with brazil. local media report that security forces fired on a group of people to stop them from crossing the border. the president, nicolas maduro,

has closed that border in a row over humanitarian aid being delivered. it comes as two concerts in support of venezuela's people get under way on either side of a bridge linking venezuela and colombia. 0ur international correspondent 0rla guerin reports now from the colombian city of cucuta at the venezuelan border. live aid for venezuela. under the south american sun, a benefit concert in colombia for a nation in need. all taking place within sight and sound of the border crossing. and among the crowds, we found venezuelans forced to flee the crisis in their country.

"i've been here in country for ten months," this man says. "and i'm hoping that today will be a start "of a new chapter for venezuela. "we can do it." "there are some a difficult lives," margarita tells me. "0ur brothers and sisters are dying at hospital doors "because there's no medicine. "they die at home because there's no food. "they search for scraps in the bins outside restaurants." venezuela's embattled leader, nicolas maduro, hopes to drown out his critics with a concert of his own nearby. but for now at least, spirits have been lifted. well, the aim here is to raise money for aid and to raise hopes of change. and all of this will focus attention on the needs in venezuela. the real issue is whether or not the opposition will be able to bring convoys of aid through the border. and that will be put to the test very soon.

backstage, richard branson told me this is the most important concert he's ever arranged. he's hoping the venezuelan soldiers nearby are listening. we are hopeful that they will lay down their arms and accept white roses, which they will be handed, and allow the supplies across. but if that doesn't work, we will continue with more concerts, and we'll keep the pressure on until finally humanitarian aid is let into venezuela. but this was the scene at the border with brazil today. venezuela's military out in force to block any aid getting through. at least one protester was killed. the stage is set for confrontation here tomorrow. up ahead, the bridge is blocked. president maduro says his troops must keep the aid out. the opposition says they will be bringing it through. 0rla guerin, bbc news, on the venezuela—colombian border. a look at some of the other

main stories on bbc news this hour. the coroner at the inquest into the death of 13—year—old amber peat, who hanged herself in nottinghamshire in may 2015, said she had not been able to determine' if she had the intention of killing herself. the coroner said a number of professionals had missed chances to help amber, and that her parents had ‘very little consideration for her welfare' at times. a man fatally stabbed in front of a group of teenagers at a youth club in south london, has been named locally as 23—year—old glendon spence. he died at the scene of the attack in brixton yesterday, police have described it as a "premeditated and ta rgeted" assault. the family of shamima begum — the british teenager who joined the islamic state group in syria — have told the home secretary they're going to challenge his decision to revoke her uk citizenship. in a letter to sajid javid, the family say they cannot abandon her even though they've been "sickened by the comments she has made" in recent interviews.

they also want the government's help in bringing back shamima begum's newborn baby. a century ago as many as ten million african elephants roamed the continent. now, fewer than half a million remain. but today in botswana, a government report has recommended lifting a ban on elephant hunting — and using elephant meat for pet food. 0fficials claim if they don't act, the ecosystem will be damaged. but others are highly critical of the proposals. from the 0kavango delta in botswana, our africa correspondent alastair leithead sent this report. botswana has more elephants than anywhere else — 130,000 of them, a third of the elephants left in africa. but some think it has too many.

this is the destruction they can cause when they come into conflict with rural communities. elephants are just moving here around the rooms, just breaking our ploughing fields, killing our cattle, just breaking all the trees. two people have been killed in the village in five years since the big game hunting ban came into force. since the government stopped the hunting, so the elephants became more and more and more. i think the government can introduce hunting of elephants again bgs killing them so maybe they will the reduced. that's what they're planning to do. the cabinet delivered a report proposing to lift the hunting ban and to allow the regular but limited culling of elephants and the canning of their meat for pet food. tourists provide botswa na's second income after diamond mining. this lodge charges up to 7,000 a night per couple.

some conservationists believe hunting would drive many away. as soon as we stopped the hunting, brand botswana grew around the world and botswana became the most sought after tourist destination in africa. the tourism arrivals, the revenues paid, they all shot through the roof, my worry is it is going to knock the big picture and will have a negative impact on jobs, occupancies, government revenues etc. some wilderness areas are not suited to tourists. well—regulated hunting can be used as a conservation tool. and in an election year, hunting appeals to rural voters. well, this is the remains of a cow that was killed by predators, right on this join between the conservancy area over that side of the fence and the community area over here. the real cost of living next door to elephants, which knock down fences. the human/wildlife conflict is big, but so is the tourism money that comes with having so many elephants. botswana now has to decide whether culling and hunting is better or worse

for the country's conservation. the 91st academy awards — better known as the oscars — are being held on sunday, honouring the best films of the last 12 months. the ceremony comes ahead of the opening, later this year in los angeles, of the academy museum of motion pictures. designed by the celebrated architect renzo piano, it's already being talked about as the best movie museum in the world. here's our arts editor will gompertz. hollywood's dream is coming true at last. nearly 100 years after it was first conceived, the academy museum of motion pictures will open later this year, with this statement giant concrete orb designed by the man behind the pompidou in paris and the shard in london. welcome to the £300 million academy museum designed by renzo piano. about me is out 1000 seat stadium and then here are the galleries.

the 50,000 square feet of exhibition space will be used to present films, screenplays and the special collections of movie legends, from hepburn to hitchcock. this is the crowning glory of renzo piano's vision for this new museum, a rooftop terrace where people can come and meet in the new public place for los angeles, where you can have a drink and take in the view of the hollywood hills. along with the old films and temporary exhibitions, there will be displays of famous artefacts, like ruby slippers from the wizard of oz and this furry beast. this is a wolf head from american werewolf in london, john landis‘ 1981 film. they created animatronic heads that they called chango—heads, so that with the levers, the internal mechanisms, they were able to make the snouts grow and change. it was the first time anything quite like this had been done. the museum has the backing of major hollywood players, like actor tom hanks.

the museum allows us to look back at the things that we missed. the things that hollywood and the various power structures did not allow us to see. that is one of the things that is very exciting to me, people making films, across the generations, since the invention of the camera and yet the ones that we see are very limited, because the gatekeepers are limiting our access. we want to make sure that a lot of the stories, that have not been told, say about women film—makers or african—american film—makers, that actually played a major role in hollywood or outside of hollywood as independents, that those stories get told here. the 0scars this sunday mark another tricky year for the academy of motion pictures, following previous accusations of being too white and too out of touch. you sense then that this new museum, with a mission to be open, inclusive and diverse is as much about its future

as it is about its past. will gompertz, bbc news, los angeles. now it's time for the weather. hello again. this unusually warm weather is going to come at an come —— come to an end at some points of its make the most of it. on friday, we again got 18 degrees, not in scotland. this time across parts of western wales in the sunshine. not everywhere have the sunshine. underneath the grey, misty weather in the south coast in west sussex, temperatures were only eight degrees. that is where temperatures should be. a bit more mr low cloud and patchy fog has started on saturday. burning of sunshine, developing widely. the patchy rain. it heads into scotland they trying to western parts of england and wales. sunny skies, come the afternoon. temperatures hitting 16, maybe 17 degrees. a week when a fund coming in from the west. this is a
