6:50 pm
really for dina asher-smith. it felt really good to when triple european gold because i went out with the aim of coming back with three gold medals but as we know with track and field and the championships and elite sport in general you never can truly predict what is going to happen for that you can forecast it and hope you do well but you never know if thatis you do well but you never know if that is going to happen so i was proud that all my hard work and that of my coach and physios had done i was able to produce that in the championships. well simply competing for medals let alone winning them was something cyclist vicky williamson thought might never happen again. after a horror crash in rotterdam three years ago, left her with a broken neck, back and pevis. but this week at the track cycling world championships in poland she's not only back on bike, but shes back competing at the top of her sport. and this is the story of her recovery.
6:51 pm
anything from now on that i achieve in my cycling career is a bonus because if you look at my hospital discharge sheet, i should not even be here. i think that hit home more when i got back to the uk and had my back surgery got back to the uk and had my back surgery and then had to try and get up surgery and then had to try and get up and learn to walk again and i think i realised then i had quite a big task ahead of me. i guess it was not only the physical pain but mental as well, the kind of feeling of having things that you would take for granted just taken from you like the ability to sit up straight because i had been laid flat for
6:52 pm
three weeks and when it came to setting up i just three weeks and when it came to setting up ijust passed out for the one of my injuries, the neck injury, was two millimetres from my spinal cord. some people may say aye was unlucky but i do not think so, it could have been a lot worse. ido could have been a lot worse. i do not think anyone across the board at that point ever thought that i would even get to the stage of riding a bike that alone retaining my place on the gb team. you don't realise what you've got until it has gone so yes, just super grateful to be here and have another crack at it. follow coverage of the track cycling championships across the bbc from tomorrow through till the 3rd march. that's nearly all we've got time for. just quickly to tell you that brendan rodgers has officially been
6:53 pm
confirmed as the new manager of leicester city. he's said i m very privileged and honoured to be here as leicester city manager and ill give my life to make the supporters proud of their club. together, we ll be stronger and i m looking forward to working with the players, staff and supporters to make the right steps forward. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. an internal briefing paper released by the government on the impact of a no deal brexit, is warning of significant effects on cross border trade, on tariffs which would have to be paid, and on the northern ireland economy. the document says tens of thousands
6:54 pm
of businesses are ill—prepared. today the governor of the bank of england, mark carney, said he would guarantee that the bank's forecasts for economic growth, would be reduced. our business correspondent, simon gompertz is here. a lot of this with her before and interesting it has come out on the day the prime minister has said for the first time that i no—deal brexit can be taken off the table by mps at thatis can be taken off the table by mps at that is what they want. yes however i odile brexit is still possibility so i odile brexit is still possibility so it is still very relevant in the history of this is that this briefing paper on the consequences ofa briefing paper on the consequences of a no—deal brexit, the shock effect if you like, was prepared for the cabinet and it was just for them. others got wind of it and then anna soubry petitioned for it to be released and under pressure the government agreed and said earlier today they would do that. it did not come out untiljust about an hour
6:55 pm
ago. but looking at that, a lot of the information is gathered together as it would be for cabinet members to see so those things about trade being slowed down badly, if there was a no—deal brexit, about food supplies and prices being affected, about the economy being as much as 996 about the economy being as much as 9% smaller than it otherwise would be after 15 years if we started brexit off with no deal exit. those things are in there but some aspects a lot of viewers would not have seen before, for instance they pinpoint the fact that businesses would have to get a special number, a new number to put to get a special number, a new numberto put in to get a special number, a new number to put in their paperwork if they were exporting to the eu once they were exporting to the eu once they had been that rupture and 40,000 have got that but 240,000 need to get it. so you can see the
6:56 pm
potential of the trouble there. and also just the cost of it, the tax office has estimated the impact on businesses would be a cost of £13 billion, just sorting out the customs administration sell some measure there and see why this has concentrated minds in the cabinet. lot of talk about the effect on business but also something that i think is new, looking at individuals as far as think is new, looking at individuals as farasi think is new, looking at individuals as far as i no—deal brexit is concerned. just a flavour of how people have not been preparing for this and thinking that they will not be affected for instance making sure that their passport has enough validity, more than six months, in order to go to the eu. international driving permits, green cards, car insurance for driving on the continent, and the survey evidence in the document that 55% of people
6:57 pm
just do not think that they will be affected. it could be that many people are and so it is notjust businesses but it is us as well. thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather. i'll be sticking with this wonderful spring weather? i think we are for tomorrow. we set this new record today and we will not reach that but it is still going to be very mild. very desire for february. the pattern is still the same, butjet february. the pattern is still the same, but jet stream february. the pattern is still the same, butjet stream patentjoin in the warmth. but over the coming days, this is wednesday, thursday,
6:58 pm
and we get to friday now and watch what happens as we move towards the weekend, thisjet what happens as we move towards the weekend, this jet stream what happens as we move towards the weekend, thisjet stream moving further south and introducing the colder air from further south and introducing the colder airfrom the north further south and introducing the colder air from the north atlantic the mild air still pretty close so not desperately cold. these are the temperatures early wednesday morning with a touch of frost, pretty much the same conditions we've had for a few days. some mist and fog around in the south as well. and temperatures not the dizzying heights, may be pushing 19 degrees. and by thursday it is cloudy with some rain. and it will feel cold because we have been used to such high temperatures even though
6:59 pm
technically we are still above average. and on friday, temporarily average. and on friday, temporarily a ridge of high pressure brothers and that means brighter weather before it starts to open up from the atla ntic before it starts to open up from the atlantic and these weather fronts rushed in so we have rain approaching ireland on friday. temperatures around ten, 12 degrees. and then a huge change and you really will notice that heading into saturday. low pressure with a lot of ice advice and that means the weather going downhill. outbreaks of rain and even gale force wind in places and temperatures around 13 degrees in london, still above average but we have been used to those above average temperatures. so that will feel very chilly. that is the latest for me.
7:00 pm
you're watching beyond 100 days. theresa may says mps will be given the choice of no deal or delay if her withdrawal agreement fails to win support. the brexiteers in her party say ministers who are seeking an extension to article 50 are in fact plotting to stop brexit. the prime minister says mps can vote to delay brexit for three months but at some point they will have to make a decision. ultimately the choices we face remain unchanged. leave with a deal, leave with no deal or have no brexit. michael cohen will tell congress that donald trump has committed crimes since becoming president. the problem is mr cohen is a convicted felon — so should we believe him?
