officials in south korea have announced an end to large—scale military exercises with the united states in an effort to ease tensions with north korea. president trump has been critical of the high cost of the exercises. officials in south korea have announced an end the two countries had already suspended a number of exercises after the first summit between president trump and the north korean leader kim jong—un last year. a second summit broke up on thursday without agreement. the international trade secretary liam fox has welcomed what he says he believes is a "genuine" attempt by ha rdline brexiteer mps to find a way of accepting theresa may's deal. a group of brexiteer mps — who are also lawyers — will scrutinise any amendments to the deal that mrs may can get from the eu. britain is due to leave the eu in less than four weeks' time. nick eardley reports. could what one seemed almost a
1:07 pm
possible happen? could theresa may get a brexit deal through in the coming days? it's still a huge ask, but as a vote on her reworked deal gets closer, there are signs of some can come on board. the government are still trying to get changes in the irish border, the backstop. the aim is to win over tory brexiteers and the dup who think the current plan would leave the uk tied to brussels rules. now brexit supporting lawyers have set up a committee to scrutinise any real deal. they want legally binding changes out of the backstop of trade talks with the eu fail. the more closely it looks, it's a big olive branch with which they can hit you over the head. well, i hope a genuine attempt and i think it is trying to map out where we can have common territory in the run—up to the vote before the 12th of march. the government, though, has a warning for brexiteers too. if the dealfails many warning for brexiteers too. if the deal fails many will try to delay our departure but ultimately some
1:08 pm
might try to stop it altogether. to attempt to have a delay mechanism in order to thwart the process of brexit itself, is actually politically unacceptable and as i have said before, would provide a backlash amongst voters. theresa may's numbers involve other parties too. labour, now officially backed another referendum, but some of its mps have been offered incentives, workers' rights, the prospect of more cash for left behind areas and some are clearly tempted. to my labour colleagues, it is about an improved deal and if you want to support a transition period, if you wa nt to support a transition period, if you want to make sure nationals rights are maintained and make sure as some of us have been negotiating for an improved workers' rights offer, but more importantly, make sure we don't go out without a deal, i urge my labour colleagues to consider voting foran labour colleagues to consider voting for an improved deal. you've probably heard of before, the clock is ticking, theresa may has nine days to bring a new deal back to
1:09 pm
parliament, some are holding out olive branches but accepting them isn't necessarily simple. there's still a lot to do. the demonstration flight of america's new astronaut capsule has successfully docked with the international space station. the dragon vehicle, launched by california s spacex company on saturday, made the attachment autonomously. it is the latest in a series of tests the capsule must pass in order to get approval from nasa to transport people, but all this particular mission is carrying is a test dummy and 90 kilograms of supplies. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5.35. bye for now. good afternoon.
1:10 pm
i'm richard askam with the latest from the bbc sports centre. we'll start with the premier league. the first of today's three matches is into the second half with watford hosting leicester city. it's brendan rodgers' first game in charge at leicester since his return to england following a record—breaking spell with celtic. today the former liverpool manager is back at another of his old clubs. but so far it hasn't been the return to the premier league that rodgers would have hoped for. leicester still trail to troy deeney‘s early goal at vicarage road. and with a few minutes in the second half gone, watford still lead by 1-0. we've got a couple of derbies to look forward to later on. new fulham caretaker manager scott parker will be hoping to inspire his side to an upturn in fortunes against west london neighbours chelsea. fulham are ten points from safety while chelsea are looking to keep up their push for a top four finish. and parker says he hopes to make an instant impact at craven cottage. i hope i can bring an energy over, i
1:11 pm
can transmit my passion, my passion to the team, and yeah, like i said, i think there is more to the game than just i think there is more to the game thanjust passion i think there is more to the game than just passion and drive, i think there is more to the game thanjust passion and drive, i get that. but that is a key, fundamental thing in any top football club, any team, any player. so i will try to transmit that, really. after that liverpool have the chance to regain top spot when they travel to everton in the merseyside derby. liverpool start the day two points behind leaders manchester city. and even thouthurgen klopp has never lost a match against the blues, he says he's hoping his players will thrive in what's certain to be a fierce atmosphere at goodison park this afternoon. football players like that, and it was always, of course, the two, the fa ns was always, of course, the two, the fans of everton doesn't want us to win anything, and probably for our
1:12 pm
fa ns win anything, and probably for our fans it is the same on the other side. so that is how it is, but in the game, it is very emotional and very passionate. i hope it will be like that, that is how football should be. the european indoor athletics is into its final day with plenty of british medal hopes later on particularly from andrew pozzi — he's the defending champion in the 60 metre hurdles. he finished second in his semi final behind favourite 0rlando 0rtega. pozzi ran a season's best. he goes in the final at 6.10pm. multi—eventer tim duckworth led going into day two of the heptathlon. second place in the hurdles has seen him slip into second behind spain'sjorge urena. they're taking part in the pole vault right now before the 1000 metres this evening. these are live pictures from glasgow. the poll that is going on as you can see. “— the poll that is going on as you can see. —— pole vault. coverage continues on bbc two and on the bbc sport website and app. let's see if he can clear it, not
1:13 pm
quite. better luck next time! cricket now and england s women will be looking to bounce back from defeat in the one day series against india, as they turn to the t20 format. the first of three t20 matches takes place tomorrow. and with the world cup in the shortest form of the game just a year away, the skipper says it s important for her team to start to build some form. i don't think it changes too much, we have had success in both formats over the last couple of years. like i said, it gives us a chance to have a bit of freedom, we have some really exciting talents, it is a chance to be let off the leash a bit without the pressure of having to craft an innings, whatever it might be. so it is a great opportunity with one year out from the world cup in australia, it will come around very quickly, so it is an opportunity for the girls to establish themselves in the side if they haven't done so already, or to keep putting in strong performances coming into the world cup. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport.
1:14 pm
thank you, richard, see you later. the search for a british climber who's been missing on one of the world highest mountains for nearly a week, has been called off for the day. tom ballard and his italian climbing partner, daniele nardi, were scaling a peak in pakistan known as "killer mountain", when they last made contact. our correspondent, richard galpin is in islamabad. just tell us what has been happening today with this search. there has been yet another setback. there has been yet another setback. there had been a lot of hope that a spanish climber who had been on k2 would be brought to the killer mountain, and he has several high altitude drones with him, and the idea was that those would be used to scour the mountain to try and find these missing climbers. but, that attempt to get him to the base camp
1:15 pm
has failed. they got as far as the nearest town to the base camp, but then could not fly on any further in then could not fly on any further in the pakistan military helicopter because of bad weather. so that has been another delay, basically, it will probably only be tomorrow morning that they will be able to try again with the helicopters to reach the base camp, so that these drones can be used. it is yet another setback in this whole rescue attempt. it has had so many setbacks, initially, last week, all the problems with the hostilities between india and pakistan meant that helicopters could not fly around between the mountain, and then more delays with serious bad weather over the last couple of days. it has been very difficult, and the two climbers have now been missing for seven days. tell us more about tom ballard, how experience is he asa about tom ballard, how experience is he as a climber? he is very
1:16 pm
talented, particularly in the alps, he climbed several of the most famous north faces of the different alpine mountains. he did that in one winter, so he was viewed by some of the top climbers is a very skilled winter climber as well. if you look on facebook, you will see him climbing extraordinary cliffs, doing a very tough rock climbing. so an experienced climber, particularly in the alps, but it seems somewhat less so in the himalayas. he had one expedition previously, so not so much experience in the himalayas, but certainly a very talented and experienced climber. no thank you, richard. -- thank you, richard, monitoring events. america's latest astronaut capsule, the dragon, has successfully docked with the international space station. 0ur science correspondent sports now on that docking.
1:17 pm
slowly but surely, step—by—step, the dragon capsule approached the station. astronauts on the platform commanded the vehicle to retreat, to rehearse what would happen if systems experienced a glitch. but all appeared to go exactly to plan. soft capture confirmed. cheering and applause. and the dragon, under its own guidance systems, pushed itself into a soft connection with the station, slightly ahead of schedule. that is one more task ticked off the series of tests this vehicle must pass to get approval from nasa to carry astronauts. what comes next is no less challenging. a high—speed fiery descent to earth on friday. only when the capsule has survived that and splashed down safely under parachutes in the atlantic, will people talk about success. let's have a look at some live pictures now from that docking. it has been successful, they have now
1:18 pm
opened the hatch and they have been passing supplies through that hatch, so this is the american spacecraft dragon docking with the international space station for its unmanned debut flight. this spacecraft is from the us private spacecraft is from the us private space flight company, spacex, successfully attaching itself to this space station via what is called a soft capture, at 5:51am eastern time. that was a british time, 10:51am. it was guided successfully into a docking port, and now the hatch has been opened, there is a test dummy, and some supplies that dragon has been carrying. there you can see the hatch open and those supplies have been passed through, so much more on that throughout the day. new reserach suggests that 150 young men have died after going missing on a night out over the last nine years.
1:19 pm
that's according to figures analysed by bbc 5 live investigates. campaigners are calling for more patrols around waterways and for men to look after each other on nights out. megan paterson reports. growing up, daisy and charlie pope were partners in crime, always together, always getting up to mischief. as they got older, that bond continued. we would always be talking in the kitchen for hours, talking about everything. i know everything from him, he has taught us everything. he was proper clever and taught me everything i know. charlie was in his first year at university in manchester, when after a night out he got separated from his friends and drowned in a canal. unbelievably difficult. it's hard, when someone who you always look up to, and who you always aspire to be like just you don't know what to do anymore
1:20 pm
when they are not there. one year after her brother's death, daisy wants to remind people of how he was in life. full of humour, opinions, advice. she wants us to change our attitudes towards drinking and people who have had too much. from being 18 now and going out, you look around and people can tell you, always stick with your friends, always cover your drinks, but if someone is kicked out because they are too drunk, how can they have that? if they are too drunk to be in a nightclub they are too drunk to be by themselves. everyone should look out for each other more. could it have made a difference for you? definitely. if one person had just asked, are you 0k? do you know how to get home? it could have been so different. that's all it takes, just asking someone if they are ok. sadly, charlie's story is not uncommon. new research from portsmouth university found that between 2010 and 2018, 150 men reported missing died after nights out involving alcohol.
1:21 pm
an average of 17 year. most end up in water. the number of deaths has prompted some towns and cities to form groups to patrol waterways at night. in manchester, plans for fencing around the stretch of canal where charlie died have been submitted to the city council. free tampons and other sanitary products will be offered to every female hospital patient in england who needs them — from this summer. nhs officials say women and girls will be able to ask for the products free of charge. the british medical association had argued it was inconsistent for some hospitals to give out razors and shaving foam, but not offer women sanitary products. andy moore reports. a study last month by the doctors' union, the british medical association, found that many nhs trusts were handing out free razors and shaving foam,
1:22 pm
but not sanitary products. at present, some trusts in england provide them, others don't. in some hospitals, sanitary products aren't even available in their shops. the new policy will make the products free of charge in all hospitals in england from the summer onwards. the chief executive of the nhs in england, simon stevens, said it was absolutely right that everyone had access to the essentials of daily life during their time in hospital. the move has been welcomed by campaigners against period poverty. it's positive to see what is intended to be happening, but we would like to see more being done around this agenda, because we are way behind in terms of where we should be. the british medical association said it was pleased its campaign had culminated in such a successful result. the organisation said free products would bring an end to indignity on top of ill—health. and the bma doesn't believe the new policy will be expensive. it estimated the cost would be just over £500 a year to any hospital
1:23 pm
that wasn't already providing free products. seal—spotting is a popular pastime for tourists around scotland's coastline, but for salmon farmers, the animals are not always a welcome sight. hundreds of seals have been shot dead in recent years to protect fish supplies — something that is completely legal if the farmer holds a licence. but farmers in shetland are investing in different nets, hoping to spare the seals. india grant reports. shetland's iconic landscape, but we are not here for the rolling, windswept hills or even the ponies, we are in the middle of a debate about seals and salmon and shooting. they have much more personality, the grey seal, than the common seals. here we look after sick and injured seals and otters. we keep them until they are well and ready to be released back
1:24 pm
into the wild. shooting a seal is legal, if you are licensed to do so. these seals were not shot, but they have lost their mums. we are seriously concerned about the health of the common seal population. there are many environmental challenges out there for the common seals and they do not need that extra challenge of the industry shooting them. the salmon industry moved into the environment where the seals already were, and it is not really fair to move into an environment and just destroy the wildlife that is there because it is a threat to your industry. it would be great if shetland could set an example to the salmon industry around the world, and certainly in scotland, and there is absolutely no need for them to shoot seals. we are heading to a salmon farm in the waters just off shetland. each cage holds thousands of fish,
1:25 pm
and until recently, seals would try to break in and steal what they could. we found through interactions with seals over the years, that since we have installed this netting on our site, the seals have left us alone. it is a small change, but could have ripple effects. the shooting of seals was always a last resort, because from time to time, a seal would actually attack the salmon, cause a lot of damage and stress and disturb the welfare of the fish. we would use other means to try to deter that seal from coming onto the fish farm but, ultimately, sometimes that was not possible and that seal may have to be shot. we don't want to shoot any seal, we would much rather be in a position where we do not have to shoot any at all, and if this is able to achieve that, we will be very happy with that. by installing these nets, salmon
1:26 pm
farmers can promote their product as being more ethical, while campaigners are happy that seals will not get shot and the population will not decline — at least not as a result of the salmon farming. as for the seals, they will just have to work that extra bit harder for their next meal. india grant, bbc news. david beckham has been honored with a statue outside his former club la galaxy. the former england captain joined the american side in 2007, helping the team to two cup titles wins. the statue shows the player taking a free kick — his trademark move that spawned the film "bend it like beckham" in 2002. speaking outsite the stadium mr beckham called la galaxy his family and thanked los angeles for embracing him when i first moved to la, people turned around to me and said, la is a place where dreams come true. well, la, today, a dream came true. thank you very much.
1:27 pm
