9:02 am
near huddle is worth in west yorkshire, covering about a square mile. the emergency services site is one of the largest fires i have ever had to deal with. charlotte gallagher reports. flames snaked their way through saddleworth moor, their way through saddleworth moor, the fire and thick smoke visible from miles away, one witness describing the scene as apocalyptic. emergency services were called last night, a number of fire engines and specialist firefighting units spent the early hours trying to contain flames. more crews were sent this morning as the fire continued to blaze. i think this is possibly one of the biggest fires i have seen in west yorkshire for wildfire and because it is running through heather it does have real high fla mes heather it does have real high flames and it is combustible so it is quite dramatic to see but it is nothing we can't deal with. some drivers found themselves perilously close to the flames, but there have been no reports of any injuries.
9:03 am
there has been fires on saddleworth moor before, but usually in the summer, not february. this isn't the only wildfire crews have been forced to deal with. after the uk's hottest winter day on record, there were fires on arthropods maxi in edinburgh, and here, ashdown forest in east sussex, an area made famous by the winnie the to novels. —— arthur's seat. with more hot weather forecast, fire crews across the country will be hoping for a quieter 24—hour is. and our correspondent dave guest is on saddleworth moor for us now. dave, some really dramatic images overnight. what is happening there now? well, you can probably see behind me there are still a few fire engines but basically the crews are now packing up basically the crews are now packing up because of a very tough night and a difficult early morning they seem to have got this fire under control and extinguished it, but the
9:04 am
blackened landscape behind me give some impression of the scale of the task that they face. as we said in that report, the fire broke out at about 7:30pm last night and the pictures from last night were obviously very dramatic. some witnesses saying it was almost apocalyptic. fire crews faced a toughjob putting apocalyptic. fire crews faced a tough job putting that fire out and they always do in this sort of terrain because it is basically heather with pete underneath and heather with pete underneath and heather is very dry at the moment and it catches fire and the fire gets down into the peat and it can travel underground. we saw a similar situation here in the summer when you remember those fires that went on for several weeks and covered many miles of moorland and the difficulty with their was that fire crews just couldn't keep up with it andi crews just couldn't keep up with it and i had to wait until it rained, basically, to put fire out. more land fires are becoming more and more common during the summer months as we enjoy some warm summers. very unusual at this time of year. let's not forget, we're still in and february, each day this month except for when the temperatures have been well above what you would expect in february. that has made the ground very dry and that is what helps
9:05 am
these fires to spread. we also a safe westerly wind which also spread the flames and smoke overnight. thankfully, not many properties nearby, so no property or lives damaged as a result of this fire. it was spectacular last night. it does now seem to be under control and the emergency services very now seem to be under control and the emergency services very much scaling down here now and packing up. 0k, good to hear that things are under control there, dave. thank you very much, dave guest on saddleworth moor. the brexit secretary, stephen barclay, is insisting that the government doesn't want to see a delay to britain leaving the eu on march the 29th. it comes as the prime ministers that the uk remains firmly on course to leave the eu with a deal, so long as mps hold their nerve. writing in the daily male after promising mps the chance to delay brexit if they reject agreement next month, theresa may says parliament should do its duty and support her deal so that the country can move forward. the prime
9:06 am
minister has offered the house of commons a series of votes. first there will be a vote to approve whatever deal she negotiates with the eu by the 12th of march. if her plan is rejected, mps will then have a chance the day after, the 13th, to vote on whether to leave the eu without a deal. and if the commons votes against that too, there will be another vote by the 14th of march on delaying brexit beyond the deadline of march 29. well, that is the date that we are moving rapidly towards. let's talk to our assistant little editor norman smith at westminster. now that the choice being offered to mps has opened up beyond theresa may's deal or no deal, how is that affecting the various groupings and factions of mps and how they might vote on the amendments being presented to them in the house of commons today? well, one thing that has become clear is the ferocity of the backlash this morning from the brexiteers to the
9:07 am
idea of delaying brexit, with david davis, the former brexit secretary, writing this morning accusing those who pushed for delay in cabinet of being mutineers, saboteurs, blackmailers, and warning the delay would amount to capitulation. others have suggested that delay amounts to paving the way for another referendum, and yet what is striking is the seeming karma in number ten, with the prime minister striking very optimistic note her article in the daily mail, saying that she is now determined to address british concerns over the backstop and she believes that an agreement is within reach and when she brings it back to the commons she will be able to get it through, albeit she acknowledges that she personally remains oh posed to any extension to article 50, a sta nce to any extension to article 50, a stance echoed this morning by the
9:08 am
brexit secretary, stephen barclay. we don't want to see a delay. i think delay prolongs uncertainty for business. i think business wants to get a deal and wants to move on and i think actually many of the viewers listening to the programme want to get on with this, and so let's get a deal, let's get this over the line. we are having those discussions with the european union. we are coming back by the 12th of march to give parliament its a and it is important we have a deal that honours the democratic decision of the british people, the biggest vote in our history, and does so in a way that businesses and communities can move forward. now, despite the ferocity of the rhetoric from the brexiteers, there are hopes in number ten that there are hopes in number ten that the prospect of delay might increase the prospect of delay might increase the pressure on them to go along with mrs may's deal when it comes back to the commons on before march the 12th. interesting this morning, we heard from jacob rees—mogg, their leader, who again stressed his insistence that there must be an end date for the backstop, but he seemed
9:09 am
to suggest that this wouldn't necessarily have to involve reopening the withdrawal agreement, it wouldn't necessarily have to mean junking the backstop, there could be some sort of appendix to the withdrawal agreement if it had an end date which might meet his concerns. have a listen. end date which might meet his concerns. have a listenlj end date which might meet his concerns. have a listen. ican live with the defect or removal of the backstop even if it isn't dayjur a. what i mean by that is that if there isa what i mean by that is that if there is a clear date which says that the backstop ends and that is in the text of the treaty or equivalent to the text of the treaty, if it were to be an appendix to the treaty, bearin to be an appendix to the treaty, bear in mind the irish backstop is in itself an appendix to the treaty, so if you have a further appendix that said this will not go beyond a particular date and short date, not a long date, then that would remove the backstop in the lifetime of parliament, and that would have a reasonable effect, from my point of view. so, where are we now? well, we
9:10 am
are slightly in a holding pattern again because mrs may has clearly bought herself a bit more time, properly a fortnight, but those three days in march are going to be absolutely pivotal. much later than probably tea will be the vote on mrs may's deal. the following day, the vote no deal and the following day after that, delay. this morning, michael gove sounding confident that mrs may could still secure success on her deal when it is voted on march the 12th. i think the prime minister has done the right thing. i think it is important that we concentrate everyone's mines on how to get a deal and there will be opportunity before march the 12th to vote on the prime minister's deal andi vote on the prime minister's deal and i hope as many people as possible support by minister. norman, let's also talk about another big political story today, the labour mp chris williamson being heavily criticised by colleagues in the labour party for saying that the party has been too apologetic over
9:11 am
anti—semitism. now, as the viewers will be well aware, that is part of the reason why a number of labour mps left labour last week to set up the independent group. if the party leadership going to do anything about these comments he has made? i suspect they will have to because chris williamson has already got himself in trouble with the party leadership after he booked a room in the house of commons for the film witchhunt, which is a document about the anti—semitism allegations in the labour party, suggesting that somehow they had been overstated. he has already had his knuckles rapped for that. now, he has already had his knuckles rapped forthat. now, he looks has already had his knuckles rapped for that. now, he looks like he's going to be in trouble again after he addressed a momentum rally at which he seemed to try to play down the anti—semitism allegations, suggesting that perhaps the party had been too willing to take them on board, too defensive, too tolerant of them, to apologetic, to quote him. that, of course, as you say, as
9:12 am
we saw, those four mps quitting the party over anti—semitism, it comes after widespread unease about the complaints process within the labour party, that it is not efficiently rigorous or speedy enough or transparent enough. it comes actually afterjohn lance, the fountain of moment was saying the other day that the problems of anti—semitism in the party are much wider than had been suggested. i suspect that he may find him 70 watch with the party hierarchy. ok, norman, thank you very much. norman smith at westminster for us. pakistan says it has shutdown to indian airforcejets in a pakistan says it has shutdown to indian air force jets in a major escalation of the kashmir conflict. a spokesman said one play had fallen inside pakistani territory and that two pilots had been arrested. it comes a day after indian jets struck militants in pakistan. both india and pakistan claim all of kashmir, but control only parts of it. well, let's talk now to a spokesperson
9:13 am
now. this is clearly another escalation of the tensions between the two nations, isn't it? oh, certainly. the temperature has increased at the border in kashmir, and it is worrying. what can be done to de—escalate things at the moment? well, the un, the us in particular can well, the un, the us in particular ca n start well, the un, the us in particular can start talking. the two countries need to begin talking to de—escalate because if they do not de—escalate their is the threat of a increase in hostilities, resulting in possibly ina hostilities, resulting in possibly in a nuclear encounter, which is something that the world and the region should not look forward to at all. it is not good for the people. so, basically, a third country has
9:14 am
to make these two countries sit down, sort out the differences, because what we have seen here is india and pakistan and india crossing a line after 1971 and attacking pakistan inside its territory. in response to a terrorist attack in india. which was carried out based in pakistan. so there are changes in the way conflict has been going on for so many years between india and pakistan, but now somebody needs to sit these two countries down and make them talk. and if you willjust remind our viewers briefly of the history of this, while the two countries are tussling over kashmir, we have this line of control, the defect or border that separates india and administered kashmir and pakistani administered kashmir. the two countries have had three wars over kashmir. kashmir is a princely
9:15 am
state. at the time of the partition of india in19li7, state. at the time of the partition of india in 1947, both countries, india and pakistan, wanted to have this territory. the kashmir valley was occupied by the people whose population was muslim but the maharaja was a seat maharaja and there were non—state actors that crossed over. —— sikh maharaja. and that resulted in indian intervention and since then there was the first we re and since then there was the first were between india and pakistan. since then, there were three and a half wars over kashmir. both countries claim that kashmir belongs to them, and as a result they have divided the territory. the human rights violations that go on, especially on the indian side, with the political situation of kashmir
9:16 am
and pakistan is is not excellent either, but there have been due in rights atrocities of that kind happening in india. what the claim made by militant groups based in pakistan is that it is trying to help alleviate the situation of kashmiris and trying to help them. currently there is a war going on which is organic, which is not linked with pakistan. there are people living in indian administered kashmir that are struggling for better conditions, tony and independence as well. so there is a political conflict going on in india and kashmir. 0k, doctor ayesha siddiqa, from the south asia institute. thank you so much for your time this morning. in a moment, we will speak are corresponding in
9:17 am
delhi, but first let's go to our correspondent in islamabad. we have been hearing just about the history of this conflict, but it is very much a present—day conflict has well. you had just been to a news briefing about this latest incident in which pakistan says it has shutdown to indian jets. in which pakistan says it has shutdown to indianjets. what more can you tell is? yes, that's right. well, at this conference, the pakistani military spokesman told us that in response really to what india did yesterday and pakistan, by coming into pakistani airspace and carrying out attacks, which it said targeted militant group basis is and that any such target was hit or really exists, and in response to this morning pakistani official said that pakistani gets targeted indian
9:18 am
targets cross—border. and they say asa targets cross—border. and they say as a result of these pakistani strikes on indian targets that indianjets then strikes on indian targets that indian jets then crossed over into pakistani airspace and then pakistani airspace and then pakistani gets shot down two indian planes, as a result of which two indian pilots were captured by pakistani forces. so that is the chronology according to the pakistani military. and this really does seem to be a dramatic escalation in tensions between the two countries. i asked the pakistani military spokesman if this was pushing the two countries to the brink of war, but he said that pakistan was acting responsibly. he said that pakistan had deliberately chosen to target open areas in india where there weren't military officials, where there weren't civilians living, because he said these pakistani strikes were intended as a kind of show of force to india, rather than as an act of
9:19 am
escalation or as an act provoking war. i think everyone really and pakistan is waiting to see how india responds, particularly because these two indian pilots are now in pakistani custody. ok, thank you very much. secunder kermani in islamabad.. our correspondent sangita myska is in delhi for us now. as of yet, we shall have no official response from delhi but about these very serious allegations being made. no word about the incursions are no word about whether to indian fighter jets have been downed and no word as to whether the pakistanis currently have in their possession to indian pilots, one of him is said to have been injured and is now being
9:20 am
treated according to the pakistanis at least in hospital. now, it is worth pointing out that the only lines of fumigation we have had is from india's foreign minister. she is currently in china holding trade talks there. earlier, she made a statement statement saying that india had only ever tried to crackdown on militants. she said that india was not seeking any exclusions between the two nuclear regional superpowers. it is worth mentioning... we arejust regional superpowers. it is worth mentioning... we are just talking about the recent history of tensions over the past month are so. it is worth mentioning that yesterday india said that two of its... six of its fighter jets had india said that two of its... six of its fighterjets had flown into pakistani airspace and had targeted
9:21 am
militants based in pakistan and dropped missiles on them and had managed to close down a training camp where india claims hundreds of suicide bombers were being trained to carry out attacks across india. in response, the pakistanis yesterday were saying that actually that hadn't happened. they disputed the indian line. and they said that what had actually happened was that indian fighter jets had what had actually happened was that indian fighterjets had infringed their airspace and simply dropped payloads on open ground and i had been no injuries. so it is worth bearing in mind that as tensions rise there is a huge amount of information and counter information between the two sites, so pinning down between the two sites, so pinning d own exa ctly between the two sites, so pinning down exactly what happened and what effect that is going to have in the coming days is very much a wait and see. ok thank you very much, sangita
9:22 am
myska. after india bombed targets in pakistan. and in sport... brendan rodgers returns to the premier league, where he takes over as the new leicester city manager after leaving his job at celtic. his side beat brighton 2—1 at king power stadium. britain'sjohanna konta beat germany's laura siegemund in straight sets to reach the second round of the mexican open in acapulco. cameron norrie also progressed. double olympic silver medallist jazmin carlin has ruled out racing at tokyo 2020, and will retire from swimming at the age of 28.
9:23 am
i'll be back with more on those stories in about 20 minutes. president donald trump and the north korean leader kimjong un are due to hold their second summit in the next few hours, aimed at securing the denuclearisation of north korea. the pair held their first historic meeting injune last year but negotiations have made little headway since. let's speak now to our south east asia correspondentjonathan head who is in hanoi in vietnam where the summit is taking place. beyond all the fanfare and the optics of these two meeting, what are the actually going to be doing there? well, the first encounter will actually be in a couple of hours' time in a hotel that is just a little way down the street behind me, a historic hotel called the metropol, and that is where they
9:24 am
will have what is described as a casual get—together for 20 minutes and then a dinner with some of their most senior officials as well. these are the people who have been hammering out the details of their talks, which tomorrow, in particular on north korea's weapons programme. tonight is all about showing off again that personal chemistry between president trump and the north korean leader kimjong—un between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong—un that was on display at their first summit in singapore last year. that is something that president trump believes has been key to the progress that he has made, that he has been able to make and his predecessors couldn't. he keeps talking about the north korean leader and is showcasing this country, vietnam. still under communist rule, but one of the fastest—growing economies in the region, as something that north korea could have if only they would let of their nuclear weapons and then they could lift the sanctions. soi then they could lift the sanctions. so i think that is setting the scene today. the hard talking as tomorrow.
9:25 am
at the last summit in singapore last june, they said, slightly vaguely it has to be said, that they would work towards denuclearisation. that was what came out of that summit, and many people would say actually there have been really substantial —— make their hadn't been release of essential steps towards that aim since then. so will they have to say something rather more concrete this time if this summit is to be judged a success? well, american officials are saying that they hope they will get what they call a big step by north korea. that will mean something quite specific perhaps, an agreement to shutdown one nuclear facility with of course international verification. nobody knows actually whether the north korean leader is willing to concede that at this stage, but that is what the americans would hope for before they could even consider easing the sanctions. president trump, it has to be said, is much more laid—back about it all. he says long as i am at testing missiles and as long as
9:26 am
they are talking, he feels that processes su ccess . they are talking, he feels that processes success. us officials have been working very hard in the weeks preceding this summit to get something more substantial. at the moment, another side actually agrees on what the nuclear the korean peninsula means. for the americans, it isa peninsula means. for the americans, it is a complete end to the nuclear weapons programme, one can't even be restarted. for the north koreans, they talk much more about peace on they talk much more about peace on the peninsula and about taking trips out of south korea. much more general terms. we will only really when his talks start tomorrow whether there has been significant processing these pre—meetings, whether the americans get something concrete. if they do and there is something substantial there, then they can say that we have the beginnings of a process that can lead to the end of the nuclear weapons programme, but no one is really sure what the north koreans are willing to give up at this stage. 0k, jonathan, thank you very much. we will be keeping a close eye on what is happening there for you throughout the day.
9:27 am
marks & spencer and ocado have confirmed a deal which will give the high street retailer a home delivery service for the first time. m&s will buy half of ocado's retail business for £750 million as part of the deal. the joint venture will deliver m&s products from september 2020, when ocado's deal with waitrose expires. our business presenter dominic o'connell is here. there was lots of speculation about this. it has happened now. the deal has been confirmed. it is equally good for marks & spencer is and ocado, or will ocado to better out of it? ocado shares are up about 496, so marks & spencer shares are down about 4%. so i pick most people think that ocado gets a bit more out of this than marks & spencer is. festival, marks & spencer is issuing new shares social hurdles will have to find 600 million, 750 million that you talked about, the purchase
9:28 am
price. marks & spencer is paying rather a lot for this division of which is the warehouses and all of the stuff that actual does the deliveries, the physical delivery service. ocado keeps the intellectual property, the software. so epic they are paying a bit much. and also there is a mismatch between the two companies because ocado is a full—service grocery and people do their weekly shop there. the average basket size around £80. marks & spencer is is a relatively upmarket convenience store. the average basket sizes £13. so they can't quite see how marks & spencer is fits into that ocado full—service weekly shopping. i think the jury slightly out. but for marks & spencer, thejury is slightly out. but for marks & spencer, the jury is out. they need to get into online shopping and at a stroke they have gone for being nowhere in myjob and to be in one of the top players. in terms of costs a nd of the top players. in terms of costs and the gamble of whether this works longer term, that is the reason why the share price is down. the short—term reaction is a typical city reaction, looking at the price
9:29 am
and not the long—term vision because for them, they say we will consider the cost and the alternative. doing it ourselves, which isn't really a real... well, it is. it is a long—term possibility. the cost of doing nothing, being out of my chopping altogether, which would have been much worse. swiping the jury have been much worse. swiping the jury is still out. quite a mixed city reaction. i also want to talk to you about britbox, which the bbc and itv have announced jointly, their partnership over the streaming service for the uk. clearly, they are looking at the netflix model, the success of that and trying to emulate that. will they manage it?|j think there is a huge difference in scale. netflix is an enormous company, enormously loss—making, but it spends about $5 billion per year on original content. the bbc because back —— the bbc‘s entire budget is a lot less. so it really it is a mismatch in scale. but what the bbc
9:30 am
and itv have is back catalogue, and i think they will take all of that back catalogue to other streaming services like netflix and bring it back in—house and charge people from the —— for the privilege of watching it. i understand there is no word on how much some steppers would have to pay, but looking at the 20 reaction to this announcement is mine, b blair saying i pay a licence fee, andi blair saying i pay a licence fee, and i also don't have to pay to access the service? there is also confusion about what happens to the bbc iplayer tv player app, which at the moment does contain quite a lot of back catalogue, although not all of back catalogue, although not all of it by any means. so the price that has been talked about and itv has not argued about this is about £5 or £6 per month, so cheaper than netflix, but bbc and itv are playing big silicon valley players here and do they have the firepower? they do have the content, but do they have the firepower to take on the likes of netflix charisma ?
9:31 am
in a moment, the weather, first let's join victoria derbyshire to find out what she's got coming up in her programme at 10am. we will be talking about student loa ns. we will be talking about student loans. the way current student loan state m e nts loans. the way current student loan statements are worried is misleading and can cause a lot of unnecessary worry. they will tell as when they believe the word that should be replaced and we will speak to stu d e nts replaced and we will speak to students and graduates about how they are managing their repayments, and obviously your experiences too. joiners at 10am. now it's time for a look at the weather. another beautiful day yesterday. hi, there, good morning. yesterday was the warmest february day on record, 21.2 celsius recorded in greater london. now, today, we're going to see the last of the really warm sunshine, it's all going to change from tomorrow. this morning, a few fog patches across southern areas across the vale of york, those will mostly clear away.
9:32 am
a bit of cloud coming in towards the isle of man, around the west of scotland. but for most of us, though, a day again just blue skies and sunshine and temperatures getting up to about 13 to 18 celsius. we could well reach 20 degrees in the capital, today. but not quite as high, perhaps, as the 21 of yesterday. now, through tonight, the cloud willjust gradually increase across western areas. with that, we've got a weather front starting to move its way in, it'lljust bring temperatures up tonight to about 4 to 6 celsius. still a little bit chilly, though, across eastern areas, but certainly a big change in the weather for thursday. more cloud, a bit of rain at times and significantly cooler. bye bye. pakistan says it has shot down two indian aircraft in its airspace over kashmir a day after india bombed
9:33 am
targets in pakistan. firefighters battle a huge blaze on saddleworth moor, saying it's one of the biggest moorland fires they've ever had to deal with. this is possibly one of the biggest fires i've seen in west yorkshire for a wildfire and because it's running through heather, it does have a really high flame front because it's so combustable, so it is quite dramatic to see. mps will have their say on the next steps for brexit later, as theresa may urges them to "do their duty". jeremy corbyn s ally, chris williamson, is criticised for saying the labour party 5 been too apologetic over anti—semitism. language learning at uk schools hits an 18—year—low, with german and french falling the most. marks and spencer announces a joint deal with ocado, giving m&s a food delivery service for the first time. and waving the flag of friendship, donald trump meets the vietnamese prime minister
9:34 am
before his summit with kim jong—un. we'll be asking an expert in north korean studies what to expect. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's sally nugent. the best possible start to brendan rodgers' career. a great start. brendan rodgers says he'll "give his life" to make leicester city's supporters proud. he was welcomed last night to the king power stadium and watched his new side defeat brighton 2—1, thanks to goals from demarai gray and jamie vardy. rodgers has signed a contract until june 2022 replacing claude puel, who was sacked on sunday after 16 months in charge. he was very positive, bouncing, the lads were great to see him, we are all desperate to start work. the lads were in or listening to him and he said i've only come here... i've only left to come here for one
9:35 am
reason and that's to work with these group of players and that's what he sees in these players. that speaks volumes for the young players we've got here. so the mood is generally upbeat in leicester, but back at celtic the fans aren't so happy. absolutely disgusted. the timing is shocking. two months left of the season. i was just shocking. two months left of the season. i wasjust told the news, that's why i drove down. i'm shocked, actually, the devastation has not set in yet. i'm still trying to get over him actually leaving. neil lennon will now take over at celtic for the rest of the season, after leaving hibernian last month. lennon led celtic to three league titles during his first spell and says he's "returning to one of the biggest and best clubs in world football." his first game in charge will be tonight's scottish premiership game against hearts at tynecastle. rodgers' move to leicester dominates the back pages as the telegraph says the "foxes get their man". the paper reports that leicester will pay celtic around £6 million
9:36 am
in compensation, and says that rodgers was enticed by the "huge potential" of the leciester squad. the mail's headline isjolly rodgers. rodgers will be paid around £5 million a year at leicester. and the sun looks ahead to this evening's big premier league match between chelsea and spurs at stamford bridge. they speculate that chelsea boss maurizio sarri may drop kepa arrizabalaga, after the goalkeeper refused to be substituted in the league cup final on sunday. we will wait to see what happens there. huddersfield ended their 14 game winless run with a late winner against wolves. that was last night. steve mounie scored in added time to give manager jan siewert his first victory as huddersfield manager. they remain bottom, still 11 points from safety, but have their first win since beating wolves at molineux last november. since beating wolves obviously since beating wolves quite pleased! newcastle put some distance between them and the drop zone by beating burnley 2—0. not a bad strike too from fabian schar. gylfi sigurdsson scored twice, as everton ended a run of three successive league defeats
9:37 am

sportsday‘s on the news channel at 6.30pm this evening. we'll be looking ahead to the england women's first match against brazil in the she believes cup. and it's another big night of premier league football. all the top six teams are in action. there's live commentary on chelsea v spurs on radio 5live sports extra, with updates on all the other games on radio 5live and the bbc sport website. plenty to look forward to, see you later. as we've been reporting, president donald trump and the north korean leader kim jong—un are due to hold their second summit in a few hours in hanoi. the pairfirst met injune last year but negotiations aimed at securing the denuclearisation of north korea have stalled since then. we can speak now to dr sojin lim, a lecturer in north korean studies at the university of central lancashire — she joins us from preston.
9:40 am
good morning. reporting today on the tensions in kashmir with two nuclear nations pakistan and india, it focuses the mind on demutualisation. what are the chances we will see significant steps between demilitarisation of the korean peninsula at this summit? as you said, now is a very critical timing for us to see whether north korea will really go for the denuclearisation in the korean peninsular. unfortunately, iam doubtful that we will see something huge from this summit and lasts yea r‘s summit. they huge from this summit and lasts year's summit. they can present a step—by—step approach about how they can have demutualisation in the korean peninsular. the us needs to guarantee they can provide a
9:41 am
measurable platform for kim jong—un's team other than that, i don't think that we can have denuclearisation process in a shorter period of time. the two men came out of that singapore summit last year talking about working towards denuclearisation. in the last few minutes mike pompeo, secretary of state has said that the us and the vietnamese presidents at their meeting today have affirmed their meeting today have affirmed the need for continued progress towards fully verified denuclearisation. but those phrases, those words, although they sound good, they are pretty vague, aren't they? yes. north korea knows that. for the north korean side, the nuclear programme is one of the biggest bargaining chips. they don't wa nt to biggest bargaining chips. they don't want to give it up until they want to achieve what they need. and if
9:42 am
they don't see any practical sanction process that it will be difficult for the north koreans to give up nuclear rise station. because of that, especially trump now tweeting that north korea will have economic development but there is nothing tangible from the us to north korea... we cannot see actual progress. from mr kim's perspective, do you think at heart he really will contemplate giving up nuclear weapons? what would his red lines be? what would it absolutely take for him to do that? if we think about what we send to north korea, kim jong—un wants to give
9:43 am
about what we send to north korea, kimjong—un wants to give up about what we send to north korea, kim jong—un wants to give up the nuke nuclear rise asian programme as long as he can have economic development. —— denuclearisation programme. he does not want his children to live with nuclear power, he said he is a family and he is a father. he needs to guarantee that he can keep his power in the regime and he can bring economic development. we know what happened with gaddafi and before with the us. kim jong—un needs to see something tangible for his regime. otherwise it will be really difficult. some would argue that from president trump ‘s perspective this is about the optics and perhaps a distraction from what is going on domestically at home.
9:44 am
if we were to accept that theory, it doesn't auger well for the future of these talks, these discussions over these talks, these discussions over the next of days? yes. indeed. if we think about what trent mike has been talking about, he said he didn't wa nt to talking about, he said he didn't want to hurry —— about what trump has been saying. now we have domestic issues in the states like the russian scandal and the border with mexico. he expects a second election. because of this, trump doesn't want any distractions and thatis doesn't want any distractions and that is why kim jong—un and ending the nuclear programme can be attractive. from trump's aside, it will not be easy to finish this process in the near future. thank you. the number of secondary school pupils learning a language has dropped to an 18—year low.
9:45 am
bbc analysis shows schools are not only dropping courses — there's also fewer foreign exchanges and trips abroad. let's take a look at what's it's like for pupils who are learning a language now. guten morgen, i'm isabel. how far would you travel to study german at a—level? meet the students with an hour—long commute to class. so, it's now 8:15am, and i left the house at 7:20am. isabel and missy. i'll probably do some german revision. they're travelling into cambridge to join one of the last remaining german classes in the area. i could have studied in my own town. but i would have had, like, two people in my class, so this way, i do have a full class. languages stopped being compulsory gcse in 2004, and a survey suggests a third of secondary schools in the uk have cut either french, german or spanish courses in the last five years, tighter school budgets
9:46 am
also having an impact. some of the financial strictures that schools are under, when they're looking at class sizes that are twos, threes and fours, it's simply not viable for them to be able to offer those classes at a—level, and possibly lower down the curriculum as well. so, there are some very hard choices that schools are facing. north wales, preparing for a school trip to france to learn to ski. but learning french — less attractive. studying languages at gcse has fallen here by 40% in five years. i'm sort of into german, i study german at the moment. where's it going to lead me? i don't particularly want a job in germany. i chose french, because i thought it had opportunities for, like, university. considered it a slightly but didn't interest me. just not what i would like to do in the future. chinese class in cambridgeshire — a school with a radical new approach to languages.
9:47 am
french and german scrapped, mandarin and spanish now compulsory for the first three years. geography teacher? speaks mandarin. we all have translators in our pockets. this can tell me what is written here in english almost instantly, so is there any point in learning a foreign language? there are cognitive benefits to learning another language, speaking another language. but also as a nation, because we need these skills in trade, business, diplomacy and national security, and without those skills, we're holding ourselves back as a nation. the department for education says it wants the proportion of pupils sitting language gcses to go up, and is encouraging schools that excel in languages to share their expertise. it's currently 5:15pm and i'm nearly home. meanwhile, students like isabel are becoming an increasingly rare breed. ben schofield, bbc news. auf wiedersehen. the headlines on bbc news... pakistan says it has shot

9:49 am
it's almost on a daily of bases, verbal abuse. it's a growing issue. i was speaking to this chap, i was trying to explain things and make sure that he got the medications he needed. he said, "will menzies, prepare yourself, i'm coming to kill you." just completely aggressive down the phone, screaming, shouting. that's why i transferred the call through to the manager for him to take it from there. the practice had to close then. we did, yeah. we had to close the practice and phone the police. an increasing demand for gp services and patients excepting to be treated straightaway are some of the causes behind the rise in levels of abuse. and such is the concern of staff at this practice, everyone has undergone self—defence classes. staff said they wanted that, so they can have all sorts of strategies and techniques for dealing with these issues. over 300 million gp appointments took place in england last year and figures from the nhs show that over 3,000 patients are on the special allocation scheme, a registerfor violent or abusive patients. these patients are prevented from seeing their local gp and receive treatment

at secure medical practices. what we can't tolerate is physical aggression or serious verbal aggression that puts our front—line staff at risk, and we must always act to protect our staff members and ensure that patients know when they've crossed the line. nhs england said that it had recently introduced a zero—tolerance strategies to protect nhs workers. david rhodes, bbc news. cardinal george pell has been taken into custody, after having his bail revoked. the most senior catholic cleric to be convicted of child sexual abuse is being sentenced in melbourne and has been told he faces several years in prison following his conviction for sexually abusing two choirboys in australia, in the 1990s. he'll be formally sentenced on march the thirteenth. the court of appeal will today begin hearing a landmark domestic abuse case. lawyers for sally challen, who was convicted of killing her husband richard, are trying to have her murder conviction reduced to manslaughter on the grounds that she was a victim
9:51 am
of his coercive control. our home affairs correspondent, june kelly reports. sally and richard challen were married in 1979. she was just 15 when they met, and he was her only boyfriend. they made their home in claygate in surrey, and this is where they raised their two sons. but, throughout their marriage, richard challen was said to have controlled and emotionally abused his wife. in 2010, she killed him. sally challen is now serving 18 years, as a convicted murderer. since the killing, extreme psychological abuse, known as coercive control, has become a criminal offence. earlier this week, sally challen's son, david, spoke to bbc breakfast about the way his father treated his mother. there was a cumulative effect of psychological abuse that controls your movement, your thought, what you eat, what you wear, over such a long period of time that there's a level
9:52 am
of dependency that you can't exist outside of the relationship or inside the relationship, after that period of time. at the time of the killing, sally and richard challen had actually separated, but said to be still emotionally dependent on her husband, she'd appealed for a reconciliation. she went back to her old family home to meet him, but in her handbag was a hammer. after discovering that richard challen had been in contact with another woman, she hit him more than 20 times with the hammer. at her appeal beginning today, sally challen's lawyers, supported by mental health experts, will argue that it was decades of provocation and abuse which led her to kill. june kelly, bbc news. around a fifth of women going to clinics for help with anorexia may also have autism — according to some researchers. many won t know they have autism, which is underdiagnosed and often misdiagnosed in women.
9:53 am
now, a leading autism charity have told the victoria derbyshire programme that they want a change to the way the nhs assesses people with eating disorders. louis lee ray has this report. when i left school, that's when things started to go downhill. i wasn't eating anything, i was eating one meal a day, i wasn't sleeping properly and i thought if i wasn't going to do something i was going to die. sophie was diagnosed with anorexia and autism. it was never about the weight, never about body image, it was always about... the wait has always been secondary to what was going on in my brain. anorexia and autism are two separate conditions. anorexia is a very serious eating disorder, supper keep their weight very low by not eating enough. —— sufferers keep their
9:54 am
weight. there's growing evidence of a link according to this man. fifth of women asking for help for anorexia are likely to be autistic and that needs to be recognised by nhs services across the country. the national guidelines for nhs clinical practice are written by the national institute for health and care excellence, nice, for short. they say there's not enough evidence to include mention of autism on eating disorders but will mandy says it's vital women with both conditions get support. anorexia is one of the most dangerous mental health conditions and those women who are autistic as well as having anorexia are at risk of particularly poor outcomes. one of particularly poor outcomes. one of the country's leading eating disorder services run out of the maudsley hospital in south london. as much as 35% at the inpatient unit may also be autistic. there is no clear, clinical packages or treatment packages how we can support people with both conditions.
9:55 am
kate wa nts support people with both conditions. kate wants more research to develop better treatments for autistic people with anorexia. and sophie agrees. there needs to be a lot more awareness about how not everyone is the same. and there might be a group of people who have undiagnosed autism, which is why they're struggling with what they're struggling with what they're struggling with. it'sjust struggling with what they're struggling with. it's just taken away a big chunk of my life and i wa nt to away a big chunk of my life and i want to move on. and i want to help other people. you can see the full film at 10:00am on the victoria derbyshire programme or online at bbc.co.uk/victoria. an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.0 has struck surrey overnight — one of the largest quakes to hit the area since a "swarm" of tremors which began there last year.

(00v) the british geological survey said the quake occurred about 2 kilometres below the surface near newdigate. the tremor was felt at about quarter to four this morning — and some residents nearby said they were woken up by the tremors. a trapped rat has caused a bit of a stir in a german town. the overweight rodent became stuck as it crawled out of a sewer. a fairly large rescue operation ensued — firefighters lifted the manhole cover and the rat was released straight back into the sewer — leading some to question why all the effort was spent on saving a sewer rat. rescue workers said she was carrying a lot of ‘winter flab'. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. they needed the pied piper. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. yesterday we got to 21.2 celsius at kew gardens in london, making it the warmest february day on record. today we will see temperatures getting up too close to 20 celsius
