hello, everyone. what went wrong? welcome to a noisy this is afternoon live. hanol what went wrong? welcome to a noisy hanoi, as the streets come alive at the appeal court has overturned night. what went wrong? well, we the murder conviction we re night. what went wrong? well, we were sitting and waiting for a press of a woman who killed her conference. it was due to take husband with a hammer. place. we were saying there was sally challen, who is 65, going to be a joint signing between will now face a retrial, after her lawyers argued president trump and kim jong—un, she suffered mental illness at the time of the killing. they had come to an agreement. then we we re helena lee is at the they had come to an agreement. then we were told, hang on, it is not going ahead. after that, we decided royal courts ofjustice. to find out what was going on. what happened today? there were president trump told us he was around 100 people in the courtroom. prepared to walk away. however, what seems to have happened is that the it was packed. the public gallery as united states was pushing for an end well, many supporters of sally toa united states was pushing for an end to a lot of the north korean‘s challen came to the court to hear nuclear production. the north today's judgment. this appeal has koreans were pushing for a hard deal gone on over two days in front of three seniorjudges and sally to end all economic sanctions, and challen, the background to her case the two could not come to an is that she, one august morning in agreement. i had heard a few days 2010, hit her husband over the head ago that they were still struggling to bridge that gap. it may well have more than 20 times with a hammer. been that donald trump has thought if he could get into a room with kim the following year, she was jong—un, he could perhaps do a deal. convicted of his murder. her lawyers that didn't happen and he has walked came to court yesterday and today

away. there are some things that they do agree on. it seems from the arguing that her murder conviction snippets of conversation that we should be reduced to manslaughter, have heard that they do agree on the willingness to tried to end the saying she had been subjected to decades of coercive control by her korean war. it is a forever war that has gone on since the 19505, in 53 husband, coercive control being extreme psychological abuse and that it ended with an armi5tice and not a she was suffering from mental peace treaty. there seems to be a disorders at the time of the willingness to enter that and to set up willingness to enter that and to set up offices in pyongyang and offence. thejudges washington to allow the two sites to disorders at the time of the offence. the judges listened to the evidence from both sides and, in the talk to one another more clearly. however, that was not announced past half hour also, sally challen, today. it seems the deal was all or who was watching proceedings via a nothing. for these two men, they video link from prison, where she have decided to walk away with has served eight years of her 18 nothing. any chance of another meeting at another 5tage? year sentence, listened to the judges as they delivered that nothing. any chance of another meeting at another stage? well, donald trump 5aid meeting at another stage? well, donald trump said today there will be another meeting. we should judgment and her murder conviction was quashed and, as you mentioned perhaps gear up for yet another there, she will face a retrial. summit at some point. but critics crucially, thejudges will say how many times can we do thi5? there, she will face a retrial. crucially, the judges allowed the will say how many times can we do this? all of the hype and conviction to be quashed on the showmanship around it, the handshakes and smiles, without basis of new evidence that was getting anything of substance at the offered by sally challen's legal end. when it comes to the reaction

tea m offered by sally challen's legal from where we are usually based, in team during this two day hearing and it was evidence that was heard from seoul, the south koreans have really put a lot of hope in this process. a consultant forensic psychiatrist that told the court that sally the president there was hoping to announce some joint korean project5. challen has been suffering from two that also looks in doubt. he is mental disorders at the time she standing ready to mediate, he says, killed her husband. that comedy between the two. it might be that president moon will be the one to judges say, was not available at the try to bring these two sites original trial in 2011, and that is together. so, after all the early why they have allowed the appeal, optimism over these talks — how did we get to this impasse? quashed her murder conviction and barbara plett—usher is travelling with president trump she will now face a retrial. we know and sent this report. the day seemed to start off so well. as well she has been refused bail. the smiles and friendly gestures that began in singapore continued there is a... you cannot yet due to on into their second date, with another garden the big boss behind me but there is walkabout to demonstrate a big crowd outside the courtroom the special relationship. including a lot of camera crews behind me waiting for sally the statements were vague challen's family to emerge and and president trump tried to lower expectations, but kim jong—un took perhaps you'll hear from them later. the unprecedented step of answering unscripted questions —— there is a behind me. from foreign reporters. perhaps you'll hear from them later. -- there is a behind me. thank you very much. —— there is a bus behind me.

translation: let me assure you that conservative mp george eustice has quit the government over theresa may's i will do all my best to bring promised to allow mp5 a vote a good result, ultimately, today. on delaying brexit it's too early to tell. if her deal is rejected. the farming minister said he wanted to be free to participate in the critical but i wouldn't say debate that will take place in the weeks ahead. that i'm pessimistic. mr eustice is a longstanding brexiteer, who stood as a ukip mep candidate before there's a lot of great ideas being thrown about. joining the conservatives. there were plenty of signals this would lead to the signing in his resignation letter, mr eustice has said... of some sort of agreement, "it is with tremendous at least a step towards sadness that i have decided denuclearisation. to resign from the government following the decision this week to allow the postponement of our exit from the eu." "since parliament is now translation: if i'm not in direct control of events, willing to do that, i want to be free to participate i won't be here right now. in the critical debate that good answer, wow. will take place in the weeks ahead." that might be the best answer you've ever heard. but behind the performances for the cameras, the art of the deal broke down. with me now is our chief political mr trump emerged to announce they correspondent vicki young. couldn't bridge their differences. this was something of a bolt from always have to be prepared to walk. the blue. it really was. although he has a long—standing brexit minister, he has not been in the same place as i could have signed an agreement some of those in his party who have today, then you people would have said, oh, what a terrible deal, been refusing to back theresa may's what a terrible thing he did. no, you have to prepared to walk. deal. in conversations i've had with supported by his secretary

of state mike pompeo, the president him over the last few months, it is declared the north koreans had demanded too much for too little. because he felt it was important to basically they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety make sure you leave at the end of and we couldn't do that. march and in some ways worry about they were willing to de—nuke a large the future relationship later. i think his concern was that by proportion of the areas we wanted but we couldn't give up pushing for a so—called pure brexit, a harder move away from the eu, you all of the sanctions for that. so all those hopes for peace could end up risking the opposite and for many, that is what has will have to be put on hold for now. happened this week. what seems to and what a stunning outcome. you don't normally organise a high—stakes summit if you haven't have prompted his departure is this sorted out a draft deal in advance. move by theresa may under massive pressure from those on the other but president trump likes to trust his instincts and personal wing of the party to say to them, if powers of persuasion. the deal does not go through, i will in this case, he got it wrong. offer you a vote on trying to delay perhaps the north korean leader did brexit, extending it potentially in too, maybe he thought he'd get more a couple of weeks. the worry of by going straight to the top. george eustice, articulated in his letter, as it will not be parliament whatever the case, mr trump says they departed on friendly in control of that or the prime terms, but he wasn't minister, it will be the eu and they ready to commit to another summit. barbara plett usher, could end up keeping us in for a long time to come. he says we must bbc news, hanoi. therefore have the courage of necessary to reclaim our freedom let's speak now to professor robert e kelly, an expert on the koreas

at busan national first and talk afterwards. it is university in seoul. very similar to the view of his boss after this cut short meeting, have things got better or worse? that's at defra, michael gove, saying we need to leave, get out of the orbit actually a good question. i do worry of the eu and worry about the things might get worse and that details later, but i think it is a there might be personal blood —— bad sign of the fractious nature of what is going on any party at the moment. those ministers on the remain side blood. there might be competition to frame this as to who was at fault. i are threatening to resign en masse. don't think on substantive issues theresa may was forced to move towards them and she is losing people from the other side. there there have been problems, i think it has not been much reaction but is more the concern of the optics of anotherformer minister it. it looks like they stormed out, has not been much reaction but another former minister said the government must stop carelessly losing its ministers and he makes the point that george eustice has the motorcade travelling in beenin the point that george eustice has been in place for a long time, the different directions. the perception that, you know, maybe they are both department he is in dealing with upset at the other, personal fisheries, agriculture, farming that is really at the front end of the interaction did not go well. that is the real threat here. if nothing comes of that, my guess is they will front line of the brexit preparations and you need people comes of that, my guess is they will come back and have another round in there who are doing that work. a few months. does the focus now george eustice has been there for a long time and there are certainly fall back on south korea as some kind of intermediary? think that is collea g u es long time and there are certainly colleagues will be worried that people like him have decided to leave the government. he seems to be

right. this is the role that the leaving because he feels that, when it comes to ad if it comes to a vote president of south korea has played a lot in the past. north korea and on extending article 50, what no one the united states have deep knows is what theresa may will order her ministers to do. will she tell strategic and ideological differences, which are them we go for a no deal or make long—standing. the south koreans them we go for a no deal or make have tried in the past to do the them vote for an extension? that is unknown at the moment and he said he same thing, bridge the two and bring wa nts to unknown at the moment and he said he wants to be a free agent at the them together. moon is genuinely moment by not being a minister so he can say what he wants to say about it time comes. i was confused until committed to north korean engagement, to something he has you just said that because it is dedicated a fair amount of his political career too. he probably ha rd to you just said that because it is hard to see how theresa may will make a major effort on that. react to this because she does not wa nt react to this because she does not wantan something we haven't seen much of in react to this because she does not want an extension of article 50. she does not but some would accuse her the west, we heard a lot from of caving into from other ministers, president kim this time. did that raise eyebrows where you are? yes, soi of caving into from other ministers, so i think that is the point. he talks in his letter about having courage, standing firm and he does it is kind of interesting, actually, that kim jong—un was talking. he say he feels that the prime minister took a question from the media, has been terribly undermined, as he which is remarkable. it is the first puts it, by those in parliament who refuse to respect the referendum time it has happened in history of result, and this just shows the north korea, to be honest. i think south koreans are really paying various groups you have just within attention to that. kim jong—un is the conservative party because you more open and personable, more willing to talk to the global have those remaining hours, the ones

who want another referendum, want to stop brexit altogether, a very few community than his predecessors. it of them, and you have some who do not want to leave without a deal at all, then you brexiteers who want a was popular when kim jong—un clea n b rea k community than his predecessors. it was popular when kimjong—un looked all, then you brexiteers who want a clean break with the eu, may be a no approachable, they said he was like deal scenario, then others who think approachable, they said he was like a teddy bear, i think that is good the deal is not great but we are for the personal engagement. you willing to back it to get out, there are so many moving parts to this and said this was about two it shows how difficult it is for the personalities, that was underlined prime minister who has been trying by the lack of preparation. nobody really knew what they were going to to tiptoe her way through all of be talking about. yes, i think that this to keep these people on site and it is proving incredibly is the big lesson to take away from difficult. the number of ministers this, particularly on the american she has lost over the brexit issue side. it is something i have emphasised a lot in my own writings. is obviously a growing by the day. donald trump often approaches this thank you very much. ina winging and tomorrow, with less donald trump often approaches this than a month to go before in a winging it, you know, how does the uk leaves the eu, his got to tell him about it kind of the we will have a special day way. that is not sufficient. the two of brexit coverage — beginning with brexit: your call with ‘ask this‘ a joint programme on the bbc summits where we have not got a lot, news channel and bbc radio 5live where we hear your views, it is clear that is not sufficient. comments and questions. you need the lawyers, bureaucrats, you can tweet using the hashtag bbc ask engineers that know the stuff in this, text on 85058 detail to hammer out some major or call on 08085 909 693.

that's from 0900 tomorrow morning. work. as your correspondence had, in order to get these things to work better. i think trump, with these approaches, it is not working and it is time for this to be better just to update you on the news planned and pushed down to the bureaucratic level for a while coming in from winchester crown before we have another summit. thank you forjoining us. court that ceon broughton was found president trump is now returning to washington, where he faces growing political pressure over allegations made by his former lawyer guilty of manslaughter, giving his and fixer, michael cohen. giving evidence before a congressional committee yesterday, mr cohen called the president girlfriend a class a drug at a music "a racist, a conman and a cheat". mr trump has dismssed the large festival in dorset in 2017. the court was told that ceon broughton majority of his claims as lies. delayed and prevaricated as his girlfriend lay dying after taking drugs at the music festival. the it's very interesting, because i tried to watch as much as i could. i wasn't able to watch too much victim, who was 24, was the daughter because i've been a little bit busy. but i think having a fake hearing like that, and having it in the middle of this very important ofa victim, who was 24, was the daughter of a holby city actor and was found summit, is really a terrible thing. deadin of a holby city actor and was found they could have made it two days dead in the woodland near the site later, will next week. with her boyfriend denying manslaughter and supplying the class and it would have been even better. a drug. prosecutors are told he had they would have had more time.

lied extensively and sought to divert the blame to everyone but but having this very important summit is a sort of incredible. himself. that is ceon broughton, and he lied a lot, but it was very interesting, because he didn't convicted at winchester crown court. more on that later. lie about one thing. he said no collusion it all started so well with the russian hoax. but the summit between president trump and kim jong—un came and i said, i wonder why he didn't just lie about that, too, to an abrupt end in hanoi toda, like he did about everything else? with no agreements about anything. i mean, he lied about so after all the early so many different things. optimism over these talks, and i was actually impressed how did we get to this impasse? that he didn't say, well, barbara plett—usher is travelling with president trump and sent this report. i think there was collusion for this reason or that. the day seemed to start off so well. he didn't say that, he said no collusion. and i was a little the smiles and friendly gestures impressed by that, frankly. that began in singapore continued he could have gone all out. on into their second date, he only went about with another garden 95% instead of 100%. walkabout to demonstrate the fact is there is no collusion. the special relationship. and i call it the witch hunt. the statements were vague this should never happen to another president. this is so bad for our country. and president trump tried so bad. to lower expectations, but kim jong—un took the unprecedented step of answering pakistan's prime minister, unscripted questions imran khan, has said the indian from foreign reporters. fighter pilot seized yesterday will be released tomorrow. both pakistan and india are under pressure to calm tension over translation: let me assure you that the disputed region of kashmir. i will do all my best to bring

mr khan described the offer a good result, ultimately, today. as a peace gesture, here's how he made the announcement. it's too early to tell. but i wouldn't say translation: we've got the indian pilot and, as a peace gesture, we're that i'm pessimistic. releasing him to india tomorrow. applause there's a lot of great ideas being thrown about. there were plenty of signals this would lead to the signing of some sort of agreement, at least a step towards india made it clear the pilot should denuclearisation. not be used as a bargaining chip. translation: if i'm not here's prime minister narendra modi willing to do that, india will live as one. india will i won't be here right now. good answer, wow. work as one. india will grow as one. that might be the best answer you've ever heard. india will fight as one. india will but behind the performances for the cameras, the art of the deal broke down. mr trump emerged to announce they win as one. couldn't bridge their differences. always have to be prepared to walk. let's take a snapshot from both sides — i could have signed an agreement in a moment we'll hear today, then you people would have from yogita limaye in the indian controlled said, oh, what a terrible deal, what a terrible thing he did. kashmir, but first secunder kermani on the pakistani side. no, you have to prepared to walk. the line of control, or de facto border with indian—administered kashmir, isjust around 20 miles or 30 kilometres away as the crow flies. supported by his secretary of state mike pompeo, the president because of the tensions, declared the north koreans had schools here are closed and hospitals have been placed demanded too much for too little.

on high alert. last night a blackout was imposed basically they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety in many parts because of the fear and we couldn't do that. of cross—border shelling. earlier this week four civilians lost their lives. officials have told us they were willing to de—nuke a large proportion of the areas that the local government has been we wanted but we couldn't give up helping relocate dozens of families from their homes close to the border. all of the sanctions for that. so all those hopes for peace many others, we understand, have already moved, temporarily will have to be put on hold for now. going to stay with relatives. and what a stunning outcome. you don't normally organise across the country, pakistani a high—stakes summit if you haven't airspace remains closed today, and the question both sorted out a draft deal in advance. the authorities and ordinary people but president trump likes are asking is how will india respond to trust his instincts and personal to this use of force powers of persuasion. by the pakistani military yesterday. in this case, he got it wrong. pakistan is calling for dialogue, perhaps the north korean leader did but is doing it after having shot too, maybe he thought he'd get more down at least one indian jet by going straight to the top. and captured its pilot, and having carried out strikes across the border. those in turn were a response whatever the case, mr trump says to indian airstrikes they departed on friendly in pakistani territory, terms, but he wasn't following an attack in india ready to commit to another summit. by a pakistan—based militant group. barbara plett usher, bbc news, hanoi. earlier i spoke tojenny town, a korea specialist the international community is urging restraint, and research analyst but the fear is that this series at stimson center — of retaliatory attacks a non—partisan think tank working to enhance international could escalate. peace and security. i began by asking if relations have improved between the two since meeting.

we're just a few kilometres it may be a little bit of both. from the line of control, the de facto border between india and pakistan, in one of the last villages on the indian side. certainly this was a disappointing outcome and a setback back any what you can hear behind me are pakistani and indian diplomatic process. i do believe a militaries exchanging fire. lot of work had been done and that there was an expectation that we we think they are firing we re very small arms and mortars. there was an expectation that we were very close to a deal that could have at least established the first although you can't see any military installations behind me, fears of a denuclearisation and you can hear those noises and we've been able to see smoke coming up normalisation process. what happened exactly, it's ha rd from the mountainsjust behind us. normalisation process. what happened exactly, it's hard to believe that villagers living here tell me kim jong—un had insisted they've been hearing these sounds exactly, it's hard to believe that pretty continuously, kimjong—un had insisted on a lifting of all sanctions. in the ever since india launched air return for the dismantlement of strikes in pakistan two days ago. pyongyang and that was known at the time the summit went forward but since then we've had india saying that they've shot down a pakistani jet, that was a nonstarter. something pakistan saying they shot down must have happened in recent days one indian warplane, and we have had these kind of ceasefire violations at multiple while the last round of negotiations points along this line of control. the situation here suddenly went on that most likely once i'd seems to be escalating — raised the stakes at the last minute very tense between india and and the other side responded by pakistan. raising the stakes, and it's really

u nfortu nate raising the stakes, and it's really unfortunate because it's hard to see now how this momentum is maintained, given all the competing priorities for the trump administration. given all the competing priorities for the trump administrationm looked as though somehow you're watching afternoon live, personalities have gotten mixed up these are our headlines... here because they put out the agenda president trump cuts and that was a joint signing short his summit with kim jong—un — over north korea's insistence that ceremony, something went very wrong, very late. like i said, there was sanctions should be lifted. the expectation that there would be the president heads back to washington, where his former something to sign an president trump lawyer told congress that he's even alluded to that in his remarks. we have to assume that something at a racist and a conman. the very last minute was added and pakistan says it will release the indian pilot it captured, if you are going to play but tensions over kashmir remain high. brinkmanship in negotiations, also coming up, 27,000 children aged whether with weapons or negotiating between 10 and 17 identify as being part of a gang in england, propositions, you have to also know according to new research. your partner well enough, your negotiating partner well enough to know how they will respond and it we'll be speaking to a former seems like they both out played each gang member who's now a youth worker in bristol. other. the abiding image from any might be that first news conference england beat brazil in the opening given in front of a western media but by a north korean leader.m

match of the shebelieves cup. it is given in front of a western media but by a north korean leader. it was one of six matches they will play interesting to watch and for him to before the world cup. james degale actually take questions and answer has announced his retirement from them, it does show that he is boxing, defeat to chris eubank getting more comfortable in the junior last weekend was his last bout. and controversial plans to limelight and feeling more confident about his positions as well. i think change the international rugby character have been labelled out of both sides might have had a little touch by the body that represents the players. 0rganisers want to bit of win and loss in walking away. establish a new world league that showing that they are not going to will start in 2020. i will be back be intimidated into a deal that they with all of those stories at about half past. do not agree with. unfortunately it was done in such a high profile the childrens commissioner event that it will be very deflating for england has warned that ruthless criminal gangs are preying on vulnerable young to the overall diplomatic process. people, and that local authorities are failing to tackle the problem. well we go from here? is focus on a new report estimates there are 27,000 gang members south korea or some mediator in the in england aged between 10 and 17 — with only a quarter of them known future? is there enough of a relationship between these two?” to the police or social services. our home affairs correspondent, dominic casciani, reports. think they both left it in a coreyjunior davis, known as cj. relatively positive air. the door is a loving teenager but troubled too, thanks to adhd and a school exclusion. open. it is hard to say how balked

at the down trample get on the when he was 13 he was groomed by domestic agenda right now. —— how a drugs gang to carry their product. bogged down trample get in the his mother keisha mcleod repeatedly warned the authorities cj needed help. domestic agenda. there are high—stakes. if this really was the he called me one evening, he was being very agitated with me actual reason why negotiations down when he was talking. of needing all sanctions lifted for at the end of the conversation only part of the programme, i'm not he said, the boys want me to sell drugs, mum, until nine. sure what kind of persuasive power i asked him where he was. they will have in this position and i went to that area, ifound him, i looked to see having not being able to bring what he had in his possession. either side to the position that he had a fair amount of crack moon had touted he wanted or could and heroin which i took off him. broke at the beginning of the process. in september 2016, aged just 1a, president trump is now returning to washington, he was shot dead in the street. where he faces growing political pressure over allegations made an official investigation found by his former lawyer and fixer, michael cohen. that the local authorities treated giving evidence before a congressional committee yesterday, cj as a criminal when he should have mr cohen called the president been protected as a "a racist, a conman and a cheat". mr trump has dismssed the large victim in the making. it was just him and me left to try and sort this majority of his claims as lies. out until anything else could occur, really. i100% believe i was let down. he's not here. it's very interesting, because i tried to watch as much as i could. i wasn't able to watch too much cj's murder remains unsolved. because i've been a little bit busy.

but i think having a fake hearing the police are still appealing for information while his mother like that, and having it appeals to local authorities to learn the lessons. in the middle of this very important she says that the bigger picture summit, is really a terrible thing. was missed and today a report they could have made it two days from the children's commissioner later, or next week. for england says that too few and it would have been even better. agencies really understand the scale they would have had more time. of the gang problem. her report estimates there are 27,000 under 185 in criminal gangs. but having it during this very important summit is sort of incredible. and he lied a lot, but it was very interesting, because he didn't but only a quarter are known lie about one thing. to the authorities. he said no collusion she warns councils and police with the russian hoax. could repeat mistakes seen in how and i said, i wonder why he didn't just lie about that, too, they failed to tackle street like he did about everything else? grooming by sex abuse gangs. i mean, he lied about so many different things. and i was actually impressed we saw then that children weren't recognised in terms of their need that he didn't say, well, i think there was collusion for this and were often overlooked. reason or that. people weren't recognising he didn't say that, the scale of the issue, he said no collusion. and i was a little they weren't seeing the risks when children were being exploited impressed by that, frankly. and when parents and children asked for help they could not get a response. he could have gone all out. he only went about 95% instead of 100%. and that, i see, is a too familiar the fact is there is no collusion. pattern which is starting to show and i call it the witch hunt. with children in gangs. this should never happen the home secretary sajid javid says to another president. the government is now doing more this is so bad for our country. than ever to intervene in the lives so bad.

of young gang members, including treating violence earlier i spoke to our north america as a public health problem rather correspondent anthony zurcher. than just a crime. he told me just how big but critics say it's not enough. this story is in the us. michael cohen's testimony before the congressional committee a flagship scheme helping troubled yesterday got wall—to—wall coverage families will soon run out on television networks, as well as cable television, of funding and three teenagers have and this morning it is on the front died in a fortnight in birmingham page of all of the major newspapers in the us, prompting one police chief the new york times says cohen to describe knife crime accuses trump of lies and cover—ups. is a national emergency. the washington post says cohen dominic casciani, bbc news. paints trump is crooked. the wall streetjournal has cohen says trump guided the cover—up. that cheque on the cover, he said it was a reimbursement we can speak now to chris mills, youth worker and chair of the charity bristol black men. directed from donald trump we were hearing about the for payments he made before the 2016 election to obtain sophisticated nature used by the grooming gangs. what have you come the silence of stormy daniels, an adult film star, across in the past? with regards to who was going to say she had an affair with donald trump. grooming, i'm not too familiar. this that is something that michael cohen himself has pleaded guilty to one seems to be a new thing that has come in over the last five years or will go to jailfor. so, he is drawing a direct line between himself and donald trump, so. so, with regards to grooming, i and the and the trump organisation. don't really have much experience of that. in terms of the youngsters, and they are aged between ten and 17, what are the backgrounds? is we are talking about a convicted

there a common theme? we often hear liar who has lied to congress before, that is their argument? about a lack of role model. why are that was their argument they particularly vulnerable? yeah, well, i believe that we are going back to the old story of the from the very beginning, hierarchy of needs. we are talking about self esteem, we are talking that michael cohen has pled guilty about self esteem, we are talking about a sense of belonging, to lying to congress, and here he was a few months later identity. these are the things that in front of congress again. are coming up time and time again, why should they trust anything he says? especially when we talk about that is a challenge in any sort children. think about 12, 13, of a legal proceeding when you have 14—year—olds, still trying to find somebody that is an unsavoury character, to be able to present them as perhaps now being willing to tell the truth. their way in the world. if they are what michael cohen essentially said not given the right role models, as in response to that was that he has you put it, they are easy to swing. nothing left to lose, in the age of social media, is if his life has fallen apart, he is trying to make amends. now the other side of that is the need to belong? of course, we that he might be trying to get some all want that inside. we go back to sympathy from judges that might sentence him, or get a book deal, the age group, it is a very vulnerable age. to be exposed to all and of course michael cohen types of things. but is there denied all of that. something specifically about the youngsters that get lured into gangs that brings them together? that what happens next? other youngsters, who don't, and there were a lot of threads that they are outnumbered by those that were brought to the service don't, what do they have that these and yesterday's hearings. that this committee,

the oversight committee, or other congressional committees, youngsters are missing? 0k, well, if might be willing to pursue. we talk about the bme individuals, there are questions about donald trump's insurance claims, tax filings, that could lead to a subpoenaed of donald trump's tax returns. there are individuals within the trump organisation, that group in particular, i believe like allan white solberg, there is a lot of issues regarding that they might want to subpoenaed segregation that was here in this to ask about the payments made. there are a lot of waiting game is within the committee country, going back to the 705 and and elsewhere to see what happens 805. it had a knock—on effect to with robert mueller's russia investigation. pa rents, 805. it had a knock—on effect to parents, and because of the parents, how can we put it, their experience michael cohen talked about things of this country, it has led to these young children feeling isolated from the world. they are here, but they that robert mueller is looking into, don't feel a part of it. they create gangs, orgroups, to don't feel a part of it. they create gangs, or groups, to feela don't feel a part of it. they create gangs, or groups, to feel a sense of belonging. but then on that note, if such as the wikileaks dump of hacked they don't have the right steering, democratic e—mails before the democratic primary and the fact that don trumer met with russians. michael cohen said that he had they don't have the right steering, the right sense of direction, they can easily fall into what we know as advance notice of that. criminality. chris, much is made about the lack of resource, the lack of money available, particularly in terms of community centres that have been shut down, a lack of a place where youngsters can get together and relate to one another. would

that make a difference? definitely. the more resources we have to help all of these things, i think they these young people, even cbt, wa nt to all of these things, i think they want to see what comes out before they decide which way to proceed. cognitive behavioural therapy, that pakistan's prime minister, imran khan, has said the indian is needed for these young children fighter pilot seized yesterday will be released tomorrow. to enable them to have a change of both pakistan and india are under mind, so to speak. what do we as pressure to calm tension over the disputed region of kashmir. mr khan described the offer adults do to make this easier?” as a peace gesture. believe we have to be more vigilant, here's how he made the announcement. more aware of what is happening with our children. inner—city schools, translation: we've got the indian pilot and, came from a school half an hour ago, as a peace gesture, we're releasing him to india tomorrow. there is drug dealing and all types applause of behaviour that parents have to be more aware of what is going on within their own homes, and also within their own homes, and also within their own homes, and also within the wider community. that's india made it clear the pilot should not be used pretty depressing, isn't it? of as a bargaining chip. course. chris, really good to talk here's prime minister narendra modi. to you. india will live as one. jeremy corbyn says labour will back another eu referendum india will work as one. after his alternative brexit plan was again defeated in the commons. but the labour leader said india will grow as one. he will also continue to push for "other available options" india will fight as one. including a general election. 0ur political correspondent india will win as one.

ben wright is at westminster. let's take a snapshot from both sides — how is this going down within the in a moment we'll hear from yogita limaye in the indian party? well, you can separate the controlled kashmir, parliamentary party, i think, from but first secunder kermani the wider membership. i think among on the pakistani side. labour party members there will be a the line of control, or de facto border with indian—administered degree of delight that finally, kashmir, isjust around 20 miles after many months of waiting for or 30 kilometres away what they will feel is the decision taken to the party conference to as the crow flies. because of the tensions, schools here are closed and hospitals have been placed solidify in a firm commitment at the on high alert. last night a blackout was imposed in many parts because of the fear dispatch box committing labour to a of cross—border shelling. second referendum has finally earlier this week four happened. we believe the labour civilians lost their lives. party membership overwhelmingly want officials have told us that the local government has been another referendum. the parliamentary party is far more helping relocate dozens of families divided. i think there is a lot of from their homes close to the border. scepticism among labour mp5 about many others, we understand, the wisdom of going so firmly now, have already moved, temporarily going to stay with relatives. rhetorically at least, down the path across the country pakistani ofa rhetorically at least, down the path of a referendum. i think if we were to get to the moment of a goat, when airspace remains closed today, the house of commons has to decide and the question both if they want another referendum or not, i think you would see dozens the authorities and ordinary people are asking is how will india respond to this use of force and dozens of labour mp5 who might by the pakistani military yesterday. d efy and dozens of labour mp5 who might pakistan is calling for dialogue, defy their own party leadership and but is doing it after having shot

vote against another referendum. down at least one indian jet labour in parliament is very and captured its pilot, divided. really interesting, i was and having carried out strikes across the border. watching the peston programme, and those in turn were a response labour mp5 watching the peston programme, and to indian airstrikes labourmps are at watching the peston programme, and labour mp5 are at loggerheads with in pakistani territory, one another, tom watson saying that following an attack in india by a pakistan—based militant group. he would like to seejeremy corbyn next week. you wonder what is going the international community is urging restraint, but the fear is that this series on? fractured on many fronts. the of retaliatory attacks could escalate. two most important are the party position on brexit, which seems to we're just a few kilometres be ever evolving, and the continuing from the line of control, the de facto border between india and pakistan, in one of the last crisis over anti—semitism. i think tom watson is now really striding villages on the indian side. out on his own, in opposition, to a what you can hear behind me are pakistani and indian militaries exchanging fire. large extent, to the party leadership. he has asked for a meeting with jeremy leadership. he has asked for a meeting withjeremy corbyn on monday to discuss further measures that he we think they are firing feels should be taken. he said today that the decision by nine labour mp5 small arms and mortars. although you can't see any military installations behind me, to quitandjoin you can hear those noises and we've that the decision by nine labour mp5 to quit and join a new independent group, and in particular luciana been able to see smoke coming up from the mountainsjust behind us. berger's statement that in her view, villagers living here tell me they've been hearing these sounds labour had become institutionally pretty continuously, ever since india launched air strikes in pakistan two days ago.

anti—semitic represented the worst day of shame in the particle since then we've had india history. tom watson says the need to saying that they've shot down a pakistani jet, do something about it, because he feels the entire half million strong pakistan saying they shot down one indian warplane, and we have had these kind party membership is being tainted by of ceasefire violations at multiple points along this line of control. the anti—semitism issue. the situation here suddenly time for a look at the weather. seems to be escalating — very tense between india and here's helen willetts. lets talk about the united states, pakistan. terrible flooding in california? the line of low pressure across the atla ntic the line of low pressure across the atlantic coming our way, they are quite far south and have been for quite far south and have been for quite a few weeks. so, if i can show you the radar picture, rain and snow, it has been relentless across parts of california. record rainfall and also record snowfall. it is just to bring you some breaking news from israel, we are hearing the going to easejust and also record snowfall. it is going to ease just a little bit, attorney general plans to indict the today and tomorrow, but by the end of the weekend we will see more prime minister on corruption scenes like this, potentially much charges. he is said to be facing charges. he is said to be facing charges of bribery, fraud and more wet weather on the way. this is breaches of trust in connection with just to the north of san francisco, three cases and is pending a final

in sonoma county. it has become an island, this area, because they had hearing. the prime minister is alleged to have accepted gifts from so much rain earlier in the summer, wealthy businessmen and dispense the wildfires, little vegetation to hold that rainfall. how unusual is favours to try to get more favourable press coverage. he is this for them? it is record—breaking facing an election in april and has rainfall, fairly unusual. you will a lwa ys facing an election in april and has always denied any wrongdoing, saying get it coming in with the pineapple he isa always denied any wrongdoing, saying he is a victim of a left—wing express , get it coming in with the pineapple express, bringing it across the witchhunt intended to topple him. pacific into the north and west. it you will have the opportunity to make his case against the indictment is repercussions of what has been at the final hearing which will take going on. closer to home, all place after that election, thatjust coming in from israel. change? time for a look at the weather. it has for the mean time, but it is we are looking at pictures, tha nkfully day of the meteorological winter we are looking at pictures, thankfully not here, of california which has has its share of misery today, and we start spring tomorrow. over the last year. yes, not a very wet part of the so it is going to rain? just a world normally but it has been very dry, major droughts here and the little bit like that, it is almost wildfires are now... leaving like it is written in a script, isn't it? let's enjoy yesterday's sunshine for a little bit longer. unprecedented amounts of rain. this even though today is cooler because of the cloud, it still looks set to is an area which is basically cut be the warmest february on record when we look at daytime off, and ireland, and things have

been dire, relentless rain and they temperatures. the statistics will be collated and will now come in the are having all the wildfires, no next couple of days. that is how it vegetation there are really to contain that water, and it is not looked yesterday, and that is just water. we have seen phenomenal because we talked about it yesterday, the dry air, the low amount of snowfall as well in the humidity across africa and the rest mountains. snow? what is going on? of europe. the subtle change, still mild, temperatures out there at the what might be pineapple express brings a... there is a low pressure moment, considerably lower. mild air coming off the atlantic. there is a is marching their way over the atla ntic is marching their way over the atlantic with the jet stream. something happens over the pacific but coming. because it is coming across the atlantic, it is picking 0cean called the pineapple express up which originates in hawaii and that across the atlantic, it is picking up the cloud. a lot of you have been comes over the pacific, fluctuating enjoying the sunshine this weekend it has been a shock to the system. up comes over the pacific, fluctuating up towards vancouver and further we had quite stubborn areas of fog north. they'll be stuck further southin across the north—east of england and north. they'll be stuck further south in places like california than the north west of england, see across the sea of nevada will have fracked and see fog in the west. —— so much rain and so much know, lots of places cut off and record—breaking rainfall, snowfall. we have been record—breaking are sea fog. you can see the temperature self but that is coming to an end. sitting around 7 degrees. that is how much cooler it is. the rain does it has been very warm, we know that, for february. you're certain it will be the warmest february on record. not help, but we need some because

severe gales in the north. as soon as that scoots away we see another rain, specific rain across parts of area of low pressure starting to england, moving into the midlands and east with a bit of sunshine. push into the south. we don't really clear the rain interspersed with that, just not push into the south. we don't really clearthe rain in push into the south. we don't really clear the rain in the south, come sunday morning. we pick up more much. that has mainly been across rain. this is the uncertainty for the —— mainly been across the the weekend, how far north it will highlands of scotland. a ridge of go. either way, quite high pressure returns, so dry the weekend, how far north it will go. eitherway, quite soggy for the weekend, how far north it will go. either way, quite soggy for many weather by the time you get your parts of the south of the uk. 0n morning and because we have all that sunday, for many parts of the north makes up moisture above us and west on saturday. a tale of two overnight, it should not be as cold halves, most definitely. what we but it will be just as murky have lost as the sunshine. tomorrow to start and we will have temperatures will remain above average, believe it or not. it does troublesome falling and dense fog for the rush hour. when that lift, look as if the weekend will be very the day is promising. the approach u nsettled. look as if the weekend will be very unsettled. if you like, back to of the rain is later in the day business as usual with wind and rain coming towards ireland, we should rolling in off the atlantic. i will see more sunshine, brightness, hopefully give you something a bit feeling very pleasant in the light better later, but i can't promise. winds were tempered as above where they should be for the 1st of march, not feeling just as barmy as it has this week. the rain moves in for most of us, clearing the way first thing saturday, this concerns is because it looks like a very deep area of low pressure bring us our first gales, spring gales, but gales

think it is probably going to be they'd travel acrosss the globe to play 12 matches throughout the year, with the top two countries now. he suffered a heavy defeat contesting a final in december. in an already packed international and domestic calendar, the international players body, against chris eubankjr, the two the irp, fear the propsals are out of touch with the demands time world champion. if he had won he would have carried on, but he lost. of the modern game. he will reflect on his career and think he couldn't have done any the idea of playing, you know, for more. he won 0lympic think he couldn't have done any more. he won olympic gold in 2008. a the northern hemisphere sides, good day to go out because it is ten playing three consecutive games yea rs good day to go out because it is ten years to the day since he made his across the southern hemisphere, a professional debut. it has a nice huge geographical challenge, then synergy to it. he says boxing gave back into the competition, five him the best years of his life. he matches in five weeks, those that won 25 of his 29 professional make it through to the final, you fights. know, it is and ask too much for plans to change the calendar most players. world rugby feel it in international rugby have been met with resistance by the players‘ could be very lucrative. body — the international they said in a statement that important matters such as rugby players group — who've called playing load are at the heart of the overall concept. the plans out of touch. but clearly the players feel they need more reassurances over the proposals as they count the cost 0rganisers want to create a new world league which would see of more injuries from increased game time.

the likes of england and 11 other national teams — play 12 matches throughout the year. there are fears the extra matches now, the england rugby squad in will place an unneccsesary training with georgette yesterday, burden on the players. things got a bit lively? it is already a very attritional and physical game. the idea of playing yes, a little bit fruity, you could for the northern hemisphere teams, say! yes, england invited georgia playing three games, and across the to a training session yesterday to practice their scrummaging in the lead up to their next six southern hemisphere, which is a huge nations match with italy. and things boiled over, geographical challenge. the with punches reportedly thrown and the teams having to be pulled apart, at the session competition involves five matches in at a school in 0xfordshire. five weeks for the teams who make it the georgians are notoriously tough scrummagers, and england feeling to the final. it's just an ask too the effects from that defeat to wales no doubt contributed to the whole thing. forward george kruis says that's much for those players. questions about whether player just part of the game. welfare is at the forefront of proposals. you know, two scrums, good scrum is and ferrari have the edge over going at it, things are going to champions mercedes during pre—season testing according to driver flare up, but it wasn't anything out valterri bottas. it continues in barcelona ahead of the ordinary, and we learn from of the start of the f1 season which could be one of the closest those things, it puts us under in recent years according to former pressure, they are things we want to marussia driver max chilton. it's the first time in years i really thought this is an open book try and push. any reason things flared up? it is a contact sport, for who can take the title. last

year, lewis was on the back foot and like i said, it is good practice for rattle made a few mistakes otherwise everyone, it is a contact sport. so he could have won the championship —— sebastian vettel. but lewis was there you go, he says it with a the pro and kept on him and got the smile! britain's two—time world champion victory. this year ferrari have an james degale has retired from boxing in the wake of his defeat even better car, so a better chance. by chris eubankjr. he also won olympic gold in 2008, but looking at pre—season testing, and it's ten years to the day teams like mclaren have been up that he made his professional debut there, which is a nice change. i and said boxing had given him think it's going to be a mixed year. the best years of his life. he won 25 and lost three of his 29 that would be good because that is professionalfights. one of the criticisms of formula 1, england's women claimed a tense two—wicket win over india it's not as competitive as it could in the last match of be. we'll have more later. their one—day series. they won it with seven balls to spare, having batted poorly at times, recovering from 49—5, heather knight and danielle wyatt leading the recovery, a two—part documentary will be anya shrubsole hit the winning runs broadcast next week accusing michaeljackson of sexually abusing two young children, in the late as they chased down 19805 and early 19905. wade robson and james safechuck say the 206 for victory. from the age of 7 and 10 the singer abused them at his neverland the series had already been lost, ranch in california. michaeljackson's family deny the claims. jackson also denied any allegations but the win gives them some of abuse throughout his life. important points in their bid

i don't care to see it. i don't think we should, no, witchhunt. that is the latest from israel. i am going to take you now because i know my brother. i don't have to see the documentary. toa israel. i am going to take you now to a speech that is currently being i know michael. given by the jordanian the two—part documentary has already been to a speech that is currently being given by thejordanian prime screened at the sundance film minister, speaking at an event in festival in america and will be shown in the uk over nights two on channel 4 next week. london, and he will shortly be net migration to the uk from countries outside introducing theresa may, and we will the european union has hit its highest level for 15 years. listen to what she has to say, but the figure is rising as the number let's listen to what he her of people settling in britain from eu countries continues to fall. our home affairs correspondent, democrats to say about new economic danny shaw, is with me. support forjordan being announced what are these figures? looking at today. -- to what he has to say. overall levels of immigration to the uk we can see they are pretty stable and have been for the last five youth, about their hopes for the future, or the very important yea rs, and have been for the last five years, around 600,000, historically high levels. the net figure, the statements that were made by donor difference between those coming to live here for a year or more and organisations, and particularly, i those emigrating, is now 283,000. have to say, the imf and the world bank. it is not very common for the that is a figure that remains well imf to say that a country has done above the government target. it still has a manifesto commitment to everything it can fiscally, and we get it below 100,000. it is a long way off from that. when we break have heard that, and we have heard

down, net migration, we can see a that a real sense that, yes, jordan clear trend, since the eu referendum in 2016, the number of eu migrants has fallen. the net figure is now has done its part, and on the reform side we have an aggressive reform 57,000. that's the difference between people coming and leaving matrix that we have started, and as from the eu. that's a 70% reduction a government, and i would say in front of you all, we are fully time of the referendum, a committed to implementing this considerable reduction. especially aggressive reform matrix, mainly we are seeing sharp falls in the number of people from poland, because it is good forjordan, and hungary, lithuania, latvia, the it is good for its youth, and it is czech republic and slovakia, the good for its future. so—called eu eight joined so lots of good news coming today, czech republic and slovakia, the so—called eu eightjoined the eu in 2004. but and a declaration from all of us, i so—called eu eightjoined the eu in 200a. but outside the eu, we see the guess, that the period about where reverse , 200a. but outside the eu, we see the reverse, an increase in people we are haunted by how do we manage coming from outside the eu. net immigration is the highest it has the crisis is behind us. now we are been since 2004, 2601000, a compelled by how we take advantage considerable increase. particularly at looks like a rise in the number of the growth and opportunities that of people from outside the eu who

are coming with a definite job this land has to offer. together, as offer. also there is an increase in student migration. we can't say partners, i think we will make a there is definite cause and effect but it appears there is a relation difference, and we will bring back between eu migration down and non—eu migration going up. is that an hope to the young generation of jordan and the region, because the illustration of things to come after brexit and the new immigration act, when the government says we'll have opportunities are there, the opportunities are there, the full control over immigration, opportunities are there, we see them especially from eu migration?m full control over immigration, especially from eu migration? it was in tourism, we see them in health, such a central theme in the eu referendum. absolutely. we would in ict, in industry, we see them in construction, we see them in have control over immigration, we could control immigration. this perhaps gives you a suggestion of business process outsourcing, all the way things might be, that there the services. and we see them in isa the way things might be, that there is a balancing act going on. young people's desire to lead businesses, public sector organisations, struggling to get labour, and they can't get workers healthy, normal lives in partnership from eu countries. they will put with the world, for the good of this pressure on the government to loosen restrictions, so they can get people from outside the eu. remains to see world. we are doing good ourselves, what happens but that's perhaps an

indication of things ahead. thank you. to our neighbours, to be refugees, diabulimia is an eating disorder which affects some type 1 diabetics. two young men and women, and by it's where people purposely don't take their insulin injections in order to lose weight. doing that we are also doing well, and that is the uniqueness of this the condition can cause serious, journey that we are taking together. lasting injury and can be fatal. now a pilot project has been launched by nhs england to find the best way to treat it. i really appreciate every single bbc radio1 newsbeat‘s tracy 0llerenshaw has been to find out more. person who has made the effort to come here and participate and this girl was 19 when she found out declare that, yes, there is hope, she had type one diabetes. just so and we will work together to fully realise it. prime minister theresa beautiful. instead of following the treatment plan prescribed by her may, i hand over the doctor, zora took matters into her realise it. prime minister theresa may, i hand overthe podium own hands but by last year she realised she was in trouble and realise it. prime minister theresa may, i hand over the podium to you, andl may, i hand over the podium to you, and i look forward to hearing your couldn't carry on as she was.” wisdom and your position. thank you. realised she was in trouble and couldn't carry on as she was. i look awful, i look emaciated. type one is applause an autoimmune disease, controllable with regular insulin injections. thank you very much, thank you so diabulimia is a catchall phrase for much, thank you.

ina economy, making the most of its their insulin. we are unfortunately in a position where it is not known what will work best. we are waiting for that evidence. i think that young, talented and diverse isn't acceptable. we have to go out workforce and, crucially, actively encouraging the participation of its there and start doing something and testing what may work. alongside women. that vision is already becoming a reality. today has kings, the royal bournemouth hospital will get the rest of the money, to explore the best ways to demonstrated how much has been treat more moderate cases. those achieved and how jordan's demonstrated how much has been achieved and howjordan's reform programme is already making a patients who look well and have a difference. and earlier today i normal body size, but are still not heard from the king directly, his taking insulin properly. for zohra, own personal commitment to things are sunnier. she has started supporting jordan's government to a newjob and is looking forward to drive forward these reforms. there her future. i want to live my life, are, of course, remain complex and i wanted a job, i wanted to live long term regional and economic essentially a normal life, as such. challenges, but jordan long term regional and economic challenges, butjordan has a robust and realistic strategy to bring soi essentially a normal life, as such. so i did make it out. i think i've about change. coming together today made it out pretty well. provides us with the opportunity to cannabis has become shore up and transformed jordan's a multi—million dollar industry in canada, following the country's economy, work together to tackle decision to legalise the sale of the drug instability, and create an for recreational use last year. attractive environment for marijuana—infused food and drink are currently prohibited but their ban could soon be lifted. investment that can benefit notjust

shortfall. he could have a problem as regards debt, in a year '5 time? absolutely but one of the big ideas slowing down. the overall thing is about the tax cut to businesses was pretty good, but towards the end of the at the beginning of a slowdown that if we cut their taxes, they are in gdp, all those things worrying, all the markets, in fact. is a lot going to be able to reinvest more of of news in the world of politics, is that into the economy by expanding that influencing markets? well, i their businesses, hiring more think it is, the talks between china people. we seeing that in terms of the labour market in america. it and the us over trade, now those it very tight, wages are going up, so seemed to be going fairly well at thatis very tight, wages are going up, so the end of last week, president that is good, but in terms of the trump dropped the deadline, which reinvestment into businesses, in the last couple of months we didn't see as much business investment. that's was tomorrow, he was going to put certainly cause for concern. don't the tariffs up on something like forget that this economy depends $250 billion worth of goods coming into the us economy from china, that really heavily on consumer spending. is not going to happen. but also the in the last three months we saw that end of those talks between trump and consumer spending was actually slowing down a little bit. that's kimjong—un, end of those talks between trump and kim jong—un, which are quite really showing that consumers are interesting, we can go to kokou getting a little bit more concerned agbo—bloua, who was head of flow strategy and solutions at societe here, and that's certainly having an generale. political things like the impact in the growth numbers in america. thank you. talks on the ending of talks between donald trump and kim jong—un, the markets now. the ftse 100,

talks on the ending of talks between donald trump and kimjong—un, do they really have an influence on the markets? why would you sell stocks if that happens? with regard to the markets now. the ftse100, the trump and came at the summit, i more broad index, is down. think the impact is relatively limited, because a few years ago rolls—royce losing out on a contract investors were clearly worried by an with boeing, so their shares are down quite sharply. international escalation, the scenario of armed consolidated airlines, british airways and iberia, their shares are up airways and iberia, their shares are up because they had good results but forces, i think this is more about they are going up and down. up 1%. the economic cycle, the recession which many investors fear could thank you. happen in 2020. some more to do with the gdp figures, looking forward a dog belonging to the former american president, george hw from that slowdown at the end of bush, has started a new role with the us navy. last year? yes, i think one thing we sully, a yellow labrador, won the affection of americans last year when he faithfully laid down all have to be mindful of is we are beside his late master's coffin. his new role will see him helping in one of the longest business cycles in history, that ultimately wounded war veterans and their families, started in 2009, and if you look at as neda tawfik reports. it's a proud day for sully the forward looking indicators, they the service dog as he embarks are all pointing to a slowdown, on his next assignment. he was a constant companion european economies are not in a for former president george hw bush better shape, italy is in technical in the last few months of his life. recession, and this is a bit of

starting today, his new home will be with veterans at walter reed military medical distance, compared to the backward looking data, which remains fairly center. strong. and the china-us trade sully hw bush, do you affirm talks, trump said, if they work, you as a hospital foreman could see the us economy growing 5% in the united states navy, that next year or this year, is that you will support, comfort and cheer possible?! well, i think the us is growing at roughly 2.5% in real up veterans and their families, terms, if you add in inflation, that active duty and retired? sully first touched the hearts of americans when he loyally will get you, in nominal terms, to accompanied the 41st president's casket to the nation's capital. around 4.5%, but these trade talks, theirfriendship began when the two—year—old lab moved in terms of the tariffs, the tariff into the family estate following the death of first lady barbara bush. was, they have clearly been a drag sully was always by his in terms of corporate earnings, side for long walks and presidential meetings. bush senior loved him so much that he even got socks to honour sully. vicki young with reaction to the hi, valerie. breaking news on george eustice. nice to meet you. that is right, george eustice, the is this sully? minister at tephra, has resigned this is sully. say hello to nada. we were lucky enough to meet sully at this training this afternoon, he is with me now to facility in long island before his new mission began. explain why. you have supported

sully‘s trainer valerie says he is an old soul, brexit for a very long time, and you which made him a perfect match have supported the prime minister's for bush senior. deal to leave, why have you resigned his team wanted a loyal dog, a dog that was easily adaptable, today? there has been an important great with children, and dangerous development this week, and sully fit the bill perfectly. parliament taking direct control of the process away from the sully, phone! he's also talented. government, and i want to be able to service dogs like sully are trained participate in this debate, and the best way to do that is to leave the to help in emergency situations or with daily tasks. government sol best way to do that is to leave the government so i have the freedom to yes, good boy, sully! act in these critical few weeks, and i think it would be dangerous for it was president george hw bush's our country to go cap in hand to the wish that sully would go on to walter reed to continue european union at the 11th hour and serving his country. begged for an extension, we would be there, his job will mainly be to comfort veterans and their families. over the barrel of a gun. we have to have the confidence and courage to walk away without an agreement if we army veteran tyler began therapy can't get the prime minister's deal with service dogs at walter reed through. you have talked about before he was matched with his very own trooper. undignified retreats in the past, yes! good boy. the prime minister have done more to walk. he had to relearn everything do this a different way? she has had after sustaining severe brain two very different problems which i injuries and a fractured spine while on deployment. when he needs assistance, completely appreciate. first of all, trooper is there. a group of mp5 in parliament who it has meant the world to me. have refused to respect the referendum result, and have sought

i feel like i can move on with my life. to undermine it, and frankly the it's just a bond that european union have not approached cannot be broken. these negotiations in good faith. they have deliberately played games, i'm always there for him and he's always there for me. made things take longer than i we got each other's backs. needed to, drag things out, and frustrated progress of the talks. sully will be making those two factors have left the new relationships but he'll forever prime minister in a difficult carry the presidential seal position, which i understand, but on his vest and he'll given that is where we are, i believe we have to have the courage always be sully hw bush. nada tawfik, new york. asa believe we have to have the courage as a country to walk away without an agreement initially and to continue time for a look at the weather. discussions after if that is what it here's helen willetts. takes to get it done. but what is good afternoon, what a difference a your message to fellow pro brexit day makes. we've been basking in mp5 in yourown your message to fellow pro brexit mp5 in your own party who have not sunshine for much of the week and as backed the prime minister's deal? a result of the high temperatures, it looks like february will beat the why are you backing her and they are all—time record, becoming the not? well, i am back in the warmest february on record. we will withdrawal agreement because even confirm that. the reason is the warm though it is not perfect and i have air but also the dry air coming got reservations about it, i do across the uk this week. for parts think it is preferable to have an of last week as well. the difference orderly brexit, and crucially it is todayis preferable to get brexit done. we of last week as well. the difference today is that the has been coming from the atlantic. not as warm but have to get out of the european

union as quickly as possible, within this window. if we don't, and we end still mild. the difference is over up this window. if we don't, and we end up witha the ocean, it is picking up this window. if we don't, and we end up with a long delay of two years, moisture. rain and a lot of cloud. as some would like, i fear there this was earlier today. temperatures would be a disastrous situation and brexit may never happen at all. you are not as high. still think of the prime minister was mandated to ask for an extension, above—average, 9—13. patchy cloud in she wouldn't get the short extension that she says it would be?m she wouldn't get the short extension that she says it would be? if she is forced by parliament at the 11th the south and in the north, patchy hour to go forced by parliament at the 11th hourto go and fog. that fog is going to return forced by parliament at the 11th hour to go and begged for an extension, the european union would tonight. the rain will move away have us over the barrel of a gun and from the south. but with fog filling would be able to dictate the terms in the gaps and a lot of cloud, it's of that extension, knowing full well that we had already bottled it as a not going to be as cold as it has country and did not have the courage been. so, on a less cold note but to leave. what do you say to those in your party, the so—called equally quite grey with mist and remainers, a large number of ministers who have said they were fog. fairly dense fog will take time to clear but when it does, a drier willing to resign if the prime minister didn't act? were they right and brighter day with some sunshine working its way through. still some to do that? i think they were very wrong to do that, and i have fairweather cloud. temperatures undermined our own government at a above—average. this is the critical stage, just as the attorney difference, more cloud, rain and general is trying to get an wind pushing into northern ireland. agreement, they sent a clear signal

that's ahead of the next spell of that if we didn't get an agreement wet and 20 weather, setting us up that if we didn't get an agreement that was acceptable to parliament, we as for a fairly unsettled weekend that was acceptable to parliament, weasa that was acceptable to parliament, we as a country would bottle it and actually, considering what we've enjoyed this week. this is the extend things and kick it into the long grass. i think it has been a weather front on friday, enjoyed this week. this is the weatherfront on friday, coming terrible message to send, and i through. saturday is a developing low pressure system which is also a think they have made a terrible concern with strong wind. windier mistake. we need them to show more weather on saturday than we've had courage. george eustice, thank you very much indeed. so brexit has for some time. gales over the hills another resignation, one of very of scotland. eight soaking for many many that theresa may has had in the western and central areas. it may last year. vicki, thank you very ta ke western and central areas. it may take much of the day to reach much. a very busy afternoon live eastern parts of england and still today, that will continue apace with mild, temperatures higher if the news at five with huw edwards, anything, 14 or 15 on saturday. the but let's in the meantime catch up rain will move away but it hangs with the weather forecast, and that is with... no, straight to huw around in the south. uncertainty how far north it will go. at this stage it looks like a rainy spell for the edwards, coming up next. southern half of the uk. further north, sunshine and showers. mild, but much more unsettled this weekend. warnings on the website.

the government over theresa may's promise to allow mp5 a vote on delaying brexit if her deal is rejected. the farming minister said he wanted to be "free to participate in the critical debate that will take place in the weeks ahead". mr eustice is a longstanding brexiteer, who stood as a ukip mep candidate before joining the conservatives. in his resignation letter mr eustice has said... with me now is our chief political correspondent vicki young. a pretty damning letter?” a pretty damning letter? i have had discussions with him since the referendum result about how he felt the departure was going and whether he was happy about it. as you said,

he was happy about it. as you said, he has been a strong brexiteerfor many years. what was interesting is that his view on it has always been that his view on it has always been that the referendum result, although it was a clear win for leaving the eu, he felt he could understand that there were many people in the country who were not happy about it, and for him, that meant that a no deal exit or a very sharp break with the eu, even though it might be very attractive, he felt the country probably hadn't voted for that kind of departure. so, it's interesting thatis of departure. so, it's interesting that is why he has gone along with the prime minister's deal, as he says, and when it comes back to the house of commons he will vote for it again. his problem, though, has been what has happened this week. that was the moment where theresa may really was forced into agreeing that parliament would, in the end, have a vote that might lead to brexit being delayed. he said here, i have been open to the idea of using our existing membership of the european

economic area as an exit mechanism. i supported your approach, he says, but now we have got to the developers this week which lead to a sequence of events culminating in the eu dictating the terms of any extension requested and the final humiliation of our country. so, his fear is that britain might not ever be able to leave. he feels it is much better to get over the line, to leave at the end of march, and then worry about the future relationship. his fear is that even though theresa may has said, look, any extension to article 50 would be short, it would not last very long, he knows it is not last very long, he knows it is not in her gift. partly there are those in parliament that are pushing for a much longer period of extension. also, it is up to the eu. at that point, you simply can't know what might happen next. i think there has been a certain amount of frustration from him of those fellow brexiteers who have refused to back the deal, because he fears, ultimately, that by not doing that you could end up in a situation

where the uk doesn't leave.” you could end up in a situation where the uk doesn't leave. i don't know if there is any suggestion he mightjoin the independent group, presumably he is staying in the party. theresa may must be getting used to writing these letters in response to resignation letters? what is interesting is that we have had all sorts of threats from ministers on the other side of the argument, the so—called remain ministers, that are very much more let's not leave at the end of march, let's not leave at the end of march, let's have a very soft brexit. we have had lots of threats from them and not many of them have done it. there have been a couple, but not in the last couple of weeks. this from a brexit minister, we had the departure of boris johnson, a brexit minister, we had the departure of borisjohnson, of course, and david davis, but again this is a different reason. not people resigning for the same reasons. george eustice does not agree with the reasons borisjohnson 93v agree with the reasons borisjohnson gay for leaving, because he backs the prime minister —— of the reasons borisjohnson the prime minister —— of the reasons boris johnson gave for leaving, because he backs the prime minister's deal, he is probably more in alignment with his boss, michael

gove, whose argument has been get over the line, let's get out and worry about the future relationships afterwards. their withdrawal agreement is not ideal, but given the result of the referendum, the splits in the country, that is going to be the best compromise that we can get. as i say, his departure todayis can get. as i say, his departure today is because he is very concerned about what happened this week, which was a huge moment. the prime minister admitting that the uk might not leave at the end of march, that we will probably not be leaving with a no deal scenario at the end of march because if parliament is in control, as george eustice says, he wa nts to control, as george eustice says, he wants to be able to dictate what might happen then, because every boat is going to count. the fear among some brexiteers is that when it comes, if it comes to that point, let's just remind you that there is going to be the prime minister bringing back a revised deal, she helps, may be next week or the week

after, if that doesn't happen, there is then a vote on whether we leave ita is then a vote on whether we leave it a deal, in the past it has been clearly shown that parliament will not go for that. then they potentially move to a vote about extending article 50, delaying brexit, and every vote will count. the fear is that the prime minister will tell them to vote in a certain way, and george eustice does not wa nt to way, and george eustice does not want to be beholden to that, so by leaving his post he can vote whichever way he wants to. it all started so well but the summit between president trump and kim jong—un came to an abrupt end in hanoi today with no agreements about anything. after all the early optimism over these talks — how did we get to this impasse? barbara plett—usher is travelling with president trump and sent this report. the day seemed to start off so well. the smiles and friendly gestures that began in singapore continued on into their second date, with another garden walkabout to demonstrate the special relationship. the statements were vague and president trump tried to lower expectations, but kim jong—un took the unprecedented step of answering unscripted questions from foreign reporters.

translation: let me assure you that i will do all my best to bring a good result, ultimately, today. it's too early to tell. but i wouldn't say that i'm pessimistic. there's a lot of great ideas being thrown about. there were plenty of signals this would lead to the signing of some sort of agreement, at least a step towards denuclearisation. translation: if i'm not willing to do that, i won't be here right now. good answer, wow. that might be the best answer you've ever heard. but behind the performances for the cameras, the art of the deal broke down. mr trump emerged to announce they couldn't bridge their differences. always have to be prepared to walk. i could have signed an agreement today, then you people would have said, oh, what a terrible deal, what a terrible thing he did. no, you have to prepared to walk.

supported by his secretary of state mike pompeo, the president declared the north koreans had demanded too much for too little. basically they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do that. they were willing to de—nuke a large proportion of the areas we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for that. so all those hopes for peace will have to be put on hold for now. and what a stunning outcome. you don't normally organise a high—stakes summit if you haven't sorted out a draft deal in advance. but president trump likes to trust his instincts and personal powers of persuasion. in this case, he got it wrong. perhaps the north korean leader did too, maybe he thought he'd get more by going straight to the top. whatever the case, mr trump says they departed on friendly terms, but he wasn't ready to commit to another summit. barbara plett usher, bbc news, hanoi.

we can speak to our correspondent nick beake, who's in hanoi. that was a bit of a shock? yes, it was. i think there is a real sense of disappointment in hanoi this evening. a sense of the vietnamese hosts being pretty deflated. they we re hosts being pretty deflated. they were hoping they had created the conditions whereby some sort of deal could be forged. they looked at what happened in singapore last summer, where it was acknowledged that they did pretty well out of what happened there, although there was a lot of debate about what exactly was agreed and what came from that. i think it didn't help the fact that last night at the white house put out this d raft at the white house put out this draft schedule for today. on it, for all to see, was a joint signing ceremony. that lifted expectations. at the start of the day, people were hopeful that some sort of deal may be reached. as president trump said, it was the issue of sanctions, we believe, that really scuppered it. so the meetings came to an abrupt halt. there was no working lunch between the two men. then it was

just president trump that was left to explain where it all went wrong. there is that old saying, fail to prepare, prepare to fail. we didn't know what they would be discussing, and nordid know what they would be discussing, and nor did they, really? this is it. i think this was always framed asa it. i think this was always framed as a meeting between two strong leaders with strong ideas about what they wanted. we have heard so much about mrtrump they wanted. we have heard so much about mr trump saying that it was his personal skills that would be crucial to making some sort of deal here. there have been weeks and weeks of detailed negotiations, we believe, between the two sides. there was talk about secondary aspects they could agree on. it seemed like the secondary stumbling blocks were huge, the idea that the north koreans could say they would dismantle this particular plant, that wasn't good enough for president trump on the americans, not good enough for them to say we will lift sanctions in some way. it has been the big issues that have

scuppered things as far as we can tell. thank you very much. let's speak now to jenny town, a korea specialist and research analyst at stimson center — a nonpartisan think tank working to enhance international peace and security. she's in our washington studio. thank you forjoining us. ijust wonder, if things are slightly better because of the two men meeting, or have things just got rather worse? well, it may be a little bit of both. certainly this was a disappointing outcome. and a setback in the diplomatic process. i do believe a lot of work had been done and that there was an expectation that we were very close toa expectation that we were very close to a deal that could have at least established the first phase of a deer neutralisation and normalisation process. what happened exactly, you know, it is hard to believe that kim jong—un had insisted on the lifting of all sanctions in return for the

dismantlement of one site, and that was known ahead of time, because that was a nonstarter. something must have happened in the recent days, while the last round of pre—summit negotiations went on, that most likely once i'd raised the sta kes that most likely once i'd raised the stakes of the last minute on the other side responded by also raising the stakes. it is really u nfortu nate, the stakes. it is really unfortunate, because it is hard to see now how this momentum is maintained, given all of the competing priorities with the trump administration. it looks as though somehow personalities have got involved here. as nick beake was saying, last night they put out the agenda and there it was, a joint signing ceremony. something went very signing ceremony. something went very wrong, very signing ceremony. something went very wrong, very late? like i said, there was the expectation that there would be something to sign. president trump even alluded to that in his remarks. we have to assume that something of the last minute was added, and if you are going to play brinksmanship in negotiations, whether it is with weapons or

negotiating propositions, you have to also know your partner well enough, your negotiating partner well enough, to know how they are going to respond. certainly, it seems like they both have played each other. the abiding image for many might be the first news conference, given in front of the western media, by a north korean leader? it was interesting to watch, and for him to actually take questions and answer them. it does show that he is getting more co mforta ble show that he is getting more comfortable in the limelight and he is feeling more confident about his positions as well. you know, i think both sides might have had a little bit of win and loss in walking away. showing that they are not going to be intimidated into a deal that they don't agree with. unfortunately, it was done in such a high—profile event, it is going to be very deflating to the overall diplomatic

process. where do we go from here? is the focus on south korea, some mediator in future, or is there enough between these two in terms of relationship? i think they both left it in relationship? i think they both left itina relationship? i think they both left it in a relatively positive air. the door is open. it is hard to say how bog down trump will get with the domestic agenda. south korea plays a role, and they have very large sta kes role, and they have very large stakes in this. if this was really the actual reason why the negotiations broke down, needing all sanctions lifted for only part of the programme, i am sanctions lifted for only part of the programme, iam not sure sanctions lifted for only part of the programme, i am not sure what kind of power moon is going to have in this position, having not been able to bring either side to the position that moon had touted that he wanted, that he would be able to broker at the beginning of the process. thank you very much. the attention is now focusing on the

domestic agenda. president trump is now returning to washington, where he faces growing political pressure over allegations made by his former lawyer and fixer, michael cohen. giving evidence before a congressional committee yesterday, mr cohen called the president "a racist, a conman and a cheat". mr trump has dismssed the large majority of his claims as lies. it's very interesting, because i tried to watch as much as i could. i wasn't able to watch too much because i've been a little bit busy. but i think having a fake hearing like that, and having it in the middle of this very important summit, is really a terrible thing. they could have made it two days later, or next week. and it would have been even better. they would have had more time. but having it during this very important summit is sort of incredible. and he lied a lot, but it was very interesting, because he didn't lie about one thing. he said no collusion with the russian hoax. and i said, i wonder why he didn't just lie about that, too, like he did about everything else?

i mean, he lied about so many different things. and i was actually impressed that he didn't say, well, i think there was collusion for this reason or that. he didn't say that, he said no collusion. and i was a little impressed by that, frankly. he could have gone all out. he only went about 95% instead of 100%. the fact is there is no collusion. and i call it the witch hunt. this should never happen to another president. this is so bad for our country. so bad. is breaking news coming from the high court. we are hearing that sally challen has won an appeal against her conviction for the murder of her husband, richard, in a hammer attack in their home in surrey. she was challenging it in what was described as a landmark case. she admitted killing 61—year—old richard in august 2010, but denied lower bid murder. lawyers argued that she had endured 40 years

of psychological abuse. that was not raised at the original trial, but was the basis of the appeal. her qc said the of knowledge about the fear of corrosive control at the time of the trial meant the partial defence of diminished responsibility was not put as fully as it could have been. the court was told a lack of understanding of the theory of coercive control meant that her defence lacked cohesion and her actions were not properly explained. this result coming in from the high court. we will be speaking to our correspondent helena lee, who will be joining correspondent helena lee, who will bejoining us shortly. the prosecution argued at her original trial, sally challen's trial, that there was evidence about her state of mind, they were able to understand the impact of her husband's behaviour in a written submission to the court. the qc said

the introduction into the legal lexicon in 2014, four years after the conviction of the phrase controlling coercive behaviour was the popularisation of a new phrase to describe an old and well understood problem. it is not one upon whichjurors understood problem. it is not one upon which jurors require expert guidance. in a statement, her son david, and his brother, james, who have supported their mother, said our mother's appeal as a landmark case, the first of its kind to use coercive control as part of a defence to murder. and this appeal provides an opportunity to recognise the lifelong abuse that their mother had suffered. in hope of understanding the cause of her actions, understanding how she was driven to take the life of our father, richard. that newsjust coming in from the court of appeal, that sally challen has won an appeal against her conviction for the

murder of her husband, richard, in that hammer attack at their home in surrey. we will be talking to our correspondence at the high court in just a moment. let's return to donald trump. we can speak to our north america reporter anthony zurcher, who's in washington. i'm guessing he's coming back to a lot of headlines about certain congressional testimony yesterday? michael cohen's testimony before the congressional committee yesterday got wall—to—wall coverage on television networks, as well as cable television, and this morning it is on the front page of all of the major newspapers in the us, the new york times says cohen accuses trump of lies and cover—ups. the washington post says cohen paints trump is crooked. the wall street journal has cohen says trump guided the cover—up. that cheque on the

cover, he said it was a reimbursement directed from donald trump for payments he made before the 2016 election to obtain the silence of stormy daniels, an adult film star, who was going to say she had an affair with donald trump. that is something that michael cohen himself has pleaded guilty to one will go to jailfor. so, he is drawing a direct line between himself and donald trump, and the trump organisation. we are talking about a convicted liar who has lied to congress before, that is their argument? that was their argument from the very beginning, that michael cohen has pled guilty to lying to congress, and here he was a few months later in front of congress again. why should they trust anything he says? that is a challenge in any sort of a legal proceeding when you have somebody thatis proceeding when you have somebody that is an unsavoury character, to be able to present them as perhaps now being willing to tell the truth.

what michael cohen essentially said in response to that was that he has nothing left to lose, his life has fallen apart, he is trying to make amends. now the other side of that is that he might be trying to get some sympathy from judges that might sentence him, or get a book deal, and of course michael cohen denied all of that. what happens next? there were a lot of threads that we re there were a lot of threads that were brought to the service and yesterday's hearings. that this committee, the oversight committee, or other congressional committees, might be willing to pursue. there are questions about donald trump's insurance claims, tax filings, that could lead to a subpoenaed of donald trump's tax returns. there are individuals within the trump organisation, like allan white solberg, that they might want to subpoenaed to ask about the payments made. there are a lot of waiting game is within the committee and elsewhere to see what happens with robert mueller‘s russia investigation. michael cohen talked

about things that robert mueller is looking into, such as the wikileaks dump of hacked democratic e—mails before the democratic primary and the fact that don trump before the democratic primary and the fact that don trumer met before the democratic primary and the fact that don trump jr met with russians. michael cohen said that he had advance notice of that. pakistan's prime minister, imran khan, has said the indian fighter pilot seized yesterday will be released tomorrow. both pakistan and india are under pressure to calm tension over the disputed region of kashmir. mr khan described the offer as a peace gesture. here's how he made the announcement. translation: we've got the indian pilot and, as a peace gesture, we're releasing him to india tomorrow. applause india made it clear the pilot should not be used as a bargaining chip.

here's prime minister narendra modi india will live as one. india will work as one. india will grow as one. india will fight as one. india will win as one. let's take a snapshot from both sides — in a moment we'll hear from yoghita limaye in the indian controlled kashmi, but first secunder kermani on the pakistani side. the line of control, or de facto border with indian—administered kashmir, is just around 20 miles or 30 kilometres away as the crow flies. because of the tensions, schools here are closed and hospitals have been placed on high alert. last night a blackout was imposed in many parts because of the fear of cross—border shelling. earlier this week four civilians lost their lives. officials have told us that the local government has been helping relocate dozens of families from their homes close to the border.

many others, we understand, have already moved, temporarily going to stay with relatives. across the country, pakistani airspace remains closed today, and the question both the authorities and ordinary people are asking is how will india respond to this use of force by the pakistani military yesterday. pakistan is calling for dialogue, but is doing it after having shot down at least one indian jet and captured its pilot, and having carried out strikes across the border. those in turn were a response to indian airstrikes in pakistani territory, following an attack in india by a pakistan—based militant group. the international community is urging restraint, but the fear is that this series of retaliatory attacks could escalate. we're just a few kilometres from the line of control, the de facto border between india and pakistan, in one of the last villages on the indian side.

what you can hear behind me are pakistani and indian militaries exchanging fire. we think they are firing small arms and mortars. although you can't see any military installations behind me, you can hear those noises and we've been able to see smoke coming up from the mountainsjust behind us. villagers living here tell me they've been hearing these sounds pretty continuously, ever since india launched air strikes in pakistan two days ago. since then we've had india saying that they've shot down a pakistani jet, pakistan saying they shot down one indian warplane, and we have had these kind of ceasefire violations at multiple points along this line of control. the situation here suddenly seems to be escalating — very tense between india and pakistan.

the childrens commissioner for england has warned that ruthless criminal gangs are preying on vulnerable young people, and that local authorities are failing to tackle the problem. a new report estimates there are 27,000 gang members in england aged between 10 and 17 — with only a quarter of them known to the police or social services. our home affairs correspondent, dominic casciani, reports. coreyjunior davis, known as cj. a loving teenager but troubled too, thanks to adhd and a school exclusion. when he was 13 he was groomed by a drugs gang to carry their product. his mother keisha mcleod repeatedly warned the authorities cj needed help. he called me one evening, he was being very agitated with me when he was talking. at the end of the conversation he said, the boys want me to sell drugs, mum, until nine. i asked him where he was. i went to that area, ifound him, i looked to see what he had in his possession. he had a fair amount of crack and heroin which i took off him.

in september 2016, aged just 14, he was shot dead in the street. an official investigation found that the local authorities treated cj as a criminal when he should have been protected as a victim in the making. it was just him and me left to try and sort this out until anything else could occur, really. i100% believe i was let down. he's not here. cj's murder remains unsolved. the police are still appealing for information while his mother appeals to local authorities to learn the lessons. she says that the bigger picture was missed and today a report from the children's commissioner for england says that too few agencies really understand the scale of the gang problem. her report estimates there are 27,000 under 18s in criminal gangs. but only a quarter are known to the authorities. she warns councils and police could repeat mistakes seen in how they failed to tackle street grooming by sex abuse gangs.

we saw then that children weren't recognised in terms of their need and were often overlooked. people weren't recognising the scale of the issue, they weren't seeing the risks when children were being exploited and when parents and children asked for help they could not get a response. and that, i see, is a too familiar pattern which is starting to show with children in gangs. the home secretary sajid javid says the government is now doing more than ever to intervene in the lives of young gang members, including treating violence as a public health problem rather than just a crime. but critics say it's not enough. a flagship scheme helping troubled families will soon run out of funding and three teenagers have died in a fortnight in birmingham prompting one police chief to describe knife crime is a national emergency. dominic casciani, bbc news. an update on the case of sally

challen, who bludgeoned her husband to death with a hammer and challenge to death with a hammer and challenge to conviction of the court of appeal. evidence was heard from a co nsulta nt appeal. evidence was heard from a consultant forensic psychiatrist concerning mental disorders potentially suffered by mrs challen, and that was not available at the original trial. the court has quashed the original conviction and has ordered a retrial. so, sally challen, her real name is georgina, who admitted killing 61—year—old richard, her husband in august 2010, but denied murder, will face a retrial. we will talk to our correspondent helena lee at the appeal court. let's get the weather now. what a difference a day makes. the cloud has rolled in for most of us. little sunshine compared with yesterday. we started with sunshine across the east of england, the north—west of scotland. for most of

us this is a blanket of cloud and there is rain as well, especially in england and wales. for most of scotla nd england and wales. for most of scotland and northern ireland, dry and it stays that way overnight. a few showers. the rain moved away and it won't be as cold. low temperatures of 45 degrees. it means —— offouror5 temperatures of 45 degrees. it means —— of four or 5 degrees. it means that when the cloud moves away, it is looking drier, a bit brighter. we have some rain and strengthening wind in northern ireland, western scotland, later in the day but for many, a drier day. the rain arriving in northern ireland is going to move east overnight. it looks like an u nsettled east overnight. it looks like an unsettled weekend. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. a woman who killed her husband with a hammer has won an appeal

against her murder conviction. sally challen will now face a retrial, after arguing she suffered mental disorders which affected the case. another resignation over brexit. george eustice, a junior agriculture minister, quits over delays to leaving the eu. walking away, president trump cuts short his summit with kim jong—un, over north korea's insistence that us sanctions should be lifted. you always have to be prepared to walk. i could have signed an agreement today and you people would have said oh, what a terrible thing, what a terrible deal he did. no, you have to be prepared to walk. back to the fray — the president is heading back to washington, where his former lawyer told congress that he's a racist and a conman. a gesture of peace. pakistan says it will release the indian pilot it captured, but tensions over kashmir remain high. and coming up, remember sully? the former service dog of the late president george hw bush has a newjob, with the us navy.

we are talking rugby, a new rugby league has been announced, but not eve ryo ne league has been announced, but not everyone is happy. plans to create a new international rugby union league has been met with resistance from players groups who fear player welfare is not at the heart of the proposals. world rugby to create a new 12—nation tournament which would see the likes of england, wales and scotland play 12 matches throughout the year, with the top two countries playing a final in decmeber. it's aimed at boosting the appeal and relevance of intera national rugby. but in an already packed schedule of international and domestic rugby many players fear it the propsals are out of touch with the physical demands of the modern game. the idea of playing,

for the northern hemisphere teams, playing three games, over three weeks, and across the southern hemisphere, which is a huge geographical challenge. the competition involves five test matches in five weeks for the teams who make it to the final. it's just an ask too much for those players. interesting point that he makes. the amount of travel involved. the players, as we can see, clearly feel that they need to hear more about the proposals before they are totally happy. some players have other things on their mind. england we re other things on their mind. england were practising with georgia yesterday and things got heated? yes, very physical, as is often the case when it comes to a rugby training session. interesting that they invited georgia to train with

them. they are very good scrummager is, something england wanted to work on before their next six nations match with italy. fair to say that things boiled over with punches reportedly thrown and the teams pulled apart at the session. eddie jones will clearly feel that his tea m jones will clearly feel that his team will benefit from a physical session but won't have thought it would have boiled over in the way it did. george kruis says that's just part of the game. two good scrum is going at it, things are going to flare up. it wasn't anything. we'll learn from those sort of things. it puts us under pressure. they are things to watch. any reason in particular why it flared up? contact sport. it's good practice for everyone. it's a contact sport.

there you go, just a contact sport. britain's two—time world championjames degale has retired from boxing in the wake of his defeat by chris eubankjr. he also won olympic gold in 2008 and it is 10 years to the day that he made his professional debut, and said boxing had given him the best years of his life. he won 25 and loss three of his 29 professionalfights. harry kane will face no punishment following an incident with chelsea defender cesar azpilicueta on wednesday. the striker appeared to move his head towards chelsea's captain, during tottenham's 2—0 defeat at stamford bridge. the incident was not seen by the match officials and kane was not punished at the time. england's women claimed a tense two wicket win over india in the last match of their one day series. they won it with seven balls to spare having batted poorly at times,

recovering from 49—5, heather knight and danielle wyatt leading the recovery. anya shrusole hit the winning runs as they chased down the 206 for victory. the series had already been lost lost. the win gives them some importnat points in their bid to qualify for the 2021 world cup. that's all the sport for now. the children's commissioner for england, anne longfield, is warning that mistakes that led to a number of child sexual grooming scandals are being repeated with gangs. a new report estimates there are 27,000 members of criminal gangs in england who are aged between ten and 17. this morning the victoria derbyshire programme brought together people with direct experience of criminal gangs, inluding one former child gang member who explained his journey into criminality. after i was expelled the second time, i was with a group of boys and we robbed a little year seven kid. we robbed him and i was caught up so much in the peer pressure that

i borrowed a bb gun for i guess safety, or the imagery that i had built up. i was arrested with it outside my house. my mum and dad were saying, we love you to the best of our ability and we are upset. we can do anything with you, take you to care kind of thing. in that environment, when i was really vulnerable and quite lonely, really dark times, someone give me an opportunity and said, you want to make some money? i ended up going up to county lines at 16 and being away from my family and feeling that this was freedom. but it wasn't, there was a lot of fear. and for those who want to learn more, what do you mean when you see i ended up going over county lines, what does that mean? county lines is essentially, the drug dealers will send younger kids to go and sell whatever the product is, but also i feel like from a younger person's view, it is a place where you feel like you can be free, there are no rules. there is very limited authority and in that

environment that is where the young people need to be kind of contacted and helped to move away from that environment. which is where your report comes in. what you have heard is so typical of so many stories that we hear, people get that idea in their head that gang members are all the ones that set out, they are very aggressive, the ones that you see in the photos. but the stories are like yours, you're vulnerable and in a dark place and you want someone to feel that you belong to something. the level of threat and violence people told me about are chilling and that is used as a way of getting kids to stay there and really stay part of that gang. so getting kids out, keeping them out and getting them out has to be the priority. which is why you say the approach should be, as the authorities now approach grooming victims. we saw what happened in rotherham and rochdale. they got it wrong then, we have learnt so much now. absolutely, so the starting

point is that our kids that need protecting. kids at risk of harm who need protecting. the scale of the issue needs to be accepted, just as it needed to be accepted before, but also the signs. you went to pru and got involved in these things, if someone would have stepped in and helped at that point then you might not have got to the stage where it escalated. david lambie, do you agree with that approach? absolutely. we tend to focus on the young people in gangs, young people with knives and guns. we focus less on the fact that many are often excluded from schools, as was the case in the story. many are in a pupil referral unit but they are hardly there, they are on the streets. many are in the care system. these are vulnerable young people and there are adults, grown men, sometimes in suits, exploiting them. because in the end, the knife crime and gun crime is really about the sale of drugs. britain has a cocaine problem,

it is the largest cocaine problem in europe, these young men hardly know where colombia is. they haven't organised the shipment of drugs, it is through the country, it is across the country. usually catering, i might say, to middle—class people across the country. we should be bearing down on those adults. where do the police come in? you see it as a national crisis, what you mean specifically? i have been monitoring knife and gun crime and have realised that education is the key. we have to educate young people in schools, not exclude them, as we have seen, because they are five times more likely to become involved in crime if you are excluded. so you need to have a very clear understanding of a young person's reality. i think they are starting to get it now around adverse childhood experiences,

the trauma and toxic stress. but the groomers have increased over the last 20 years and the safeguarding agencies have been run down, so you have a total imbalance. that is where the crisis is. the report has already shown, the co—ordination is fragmented. call in cobra. you get the asset all at a ministerial level, because it is notjust a london thing, it is all across the country. gavin, what about your experience? you ended up going down the route of crime and violence. what leroy said is my experience, adverse childhood experience. i experienced domestic violence. i lived in refuges for years of my life and did not go to primary school until i was six or seven so for me the trauma i experience in the first six years of my life set the fundamental basis of who you become as a teenager, was fragmented by domestic violence and fear of men. my dad was a brown man,

so i was fearful. so when the perpetrators were speaking, you transfer this in my psychology is that i am scared of these guys. my dad perpetrated this on me and my mum and if fear was present and i reflect that on other men. i grew up in a household withjust women, i am not saying it isjust because it was a single mum, i was mixed race in a white family. but it had an impact on me as well because i lived in the east end of london in the 905. when you are 12 or 13 who is coming to you and saying, sell this? do this? i grew up in an environment where i saw a stabbing at ten years old outside my house, someone got any fight and was stabbed in the head with a fork and there was blood and an ambulance. that traumatised me. seeing that on my doorstep that was my experience of living in london.

that violence was here, the war was here. that was my fear. i was fearful. i was not a gangster on a bad kid that wanted to stab people, i was afraid of being stabbed. i was afraid of the violence i'm witnessing around me becoming my reality. that is where the gap was. people who did not live in my environment and witness the toxic stress can be paranoid. people pulling knives family at 13, you can go to the cinema north london because you're from east london and you're scared in case you get stabbed or robbed at knife—point. those bits and pieces that went on life and my reality, then produced in me toxic stress, that made me want to carry a knife for protection, not to be a gangster. if you take gavin's example, from the approach that you would like us to take, at what point would authorities, children services, intervene in gavin's teenage years? how would it work? from the start, you are already in a refuge, so things were not going well, but if you think later in teenage years, going to secondary school is a big stress for any kid

but with all these things going on it is an additional one. missing school is another one. there are all these pointers where you know things get worse. missing school for periods of time, turning up at a&e with knife wounds. what do you think should happen at that point? there must already be in place a group of people together locally who are all working on this, schools, hospitals, the police, they have decided they will not just talk about it more, they must proactively plan... to do what? take them back into school? provide good relationships with adults who can help and coach, who can really be that bridge back into school and keep them in school. lots of youth provision and things like that around, but relationships are key. they must continue conversations because a lot of these young people are holding a lot of pain inside and it takes someone relatable. mental health support. it sounds like most

personal social workers. i would say that would be a good thing. the point as it is important to focus on what does happen and what does happen is that these people get a criminal record, what does happen as they spend time in youth offenders institutions. remember that in the last few months we found out that 51% of young people in british youth offending prisons are from a black or ethnic or asian minority. 51%, it has got that bad. young people are criminalised and then can't get employment, and i am afraid the state picks up the tab in terms of unemployment benefit, often well into your 305. so you have got to intervene early. you have got to get alongside these people and you have got to challenge the adults that exploit them. just to bring you some breaking news from winchester crown court. found guilty of the manslaughter of a

let's talk to lindsey fussell, 0fcom 5 consumer group director. what are these rules you want to bring in and how are you going to bring in and how are you going to bring the broadband providers into line? good afternoon. this is about fairness to the consumers. we think you should be told what to expect before you sign up to a broadband contract. 0ur before you sign up to a broadband contract. our new rules coming into force tomorrow have three important protections for customers. first, you'll be told the minimum speed of broadband you're going to get before you sign up to the contract so you can decide if it is right for you. secondly you'll be told the average speed that you're going to get. that will be a realistic average, based on peak times, the time most of us are using the internet. finally, you'll have the right to walk away from your contract without penalty if you don't get the minimum speed. this will be up to consumers to do the complaint and then to walk away.

what's interesting is that your own data shows that something like three in 20 people get around to complaining. they don't do much about it. we would encourage all consumers to approach their provider if they aren't happy with the speed they are getting. under our new rules the provider will have a maximum of one month to put it right. if they aren't able to do that you'll have the right to walk away from your contract without any exit fees. that will apply even if your contract isn't about broadband, it may cover your landline phone or pay tv. important protections for making life fair for customers. the other important thing is that sometimes people get fibre, but it is mostly copper until about a mile down the road. why aren't you... stamping down on that kind of... isn't it. it? there are quite a lot

of broadband technologies out there. we know it can be a bit confusing for consumers. what a lot of consumers don't know is that we know about half of households in the country could actually get faster broadband today or tomorrow without paying any more or even sometimes paying any more or even sometimes paying less. we've launched a major new campaign called boost your broadband dot—com and we'd encourage consumers to talk to providers, go to our website, get the advice, talk to our website, get the advice, talk to your provider because you may find that faster broadband is a phone call away. thanks very much. boost your broadband dot—com. phone call away. thanks very much. boost your broadband dot-com. that's the us market. one of the big things people worry about, some manufacturing figures from china. a feeling that things are slowing down a little bit. the ftse is slowing down. the geopolitical issues such

as the trunk talks falling apart. that company is british airways and iberian. iag. the way it is registered on the stock market, international consolidated airlines. sorry it's confusing. it is bae and iberia. you understand now! thank you very much! see you later, maybe... ! you very much! see you later, maybe. . .! let's have you very much! see you later, maybe...! let's have a look at the weather now. good afternoon, what a difference a day makes. we've been basking in sunshine for much of the week and as a result of the high temperatures, it looks like february will beat the all—time record, becoming the warmest february on record. we will confirm that. the reason is the warm air but also the dry air coming across the uk this week.

for parts of last week as well. the difference today is that the air has been coming from the atlantic. not as warm but still mild. the difference is over the ocean, it is picking up moisture. rain and a lot of cloud. this was earlier today. temperatures are not as high. still above—average, 9—13. patchy cloud in the south and in the north, patchy fog. that fog is going to return tonight. the rain will move away from the south. but with fog filling in the gaps and a lot of cloud, it's not going to be as cold as it has been. so, friday, a less cold note but equally quite grey with mist and fog. fairly dense fog will take time to clear but when it does, a drier and brighter day with some sunshine working its way through.

still some fairweather cloud. temperatures above—average. this is the difference, more cloud, rain and wind pushing into northern ireland. that's ahead of the next spell of wet and windy weather, setting us up for a fairly unsettled weekend actually, considering what we've enjoyed this week. this is the weather front on friday, coming through. saturday is a developing low pressure system which is also a concern with strong wind. windier weather on saturday than we've had for some time. gales over the hills of scotland. a soaking for many western and central areas. it may take much of the day to reach eastern parts of england and still mild, temperatures higher if anything, 14 or 15 on saturday. the rain will move away but it hangs around in the south. uncertainty how far north it will go. at this stage it looks like a rainy spell for the southern half of the uk. further north, sunshine and showers. mild, but much more unsettled this weekend. warnings on the website.
