11:11 pm
taking such a long time. these troops are from sudan. part of the nine—member coalition led by saudi arabia. translation: it is quiet at the moment. it was hard in the beginning, but now things are good. god willing, we will be moving forward soon. momentum may well be with the coalition, but this war is almost four years old. there is no end in sight. everyone involved in this war has been accused of wanton destruction. yemen's minister of information says the huthis have left yemen's minister of information says the houthis have left this place uninhabitable. translation: there is no—one living here. people are afraid to go back to their homes. the huthis left landmines everywhere. this war has displaced millions of yemenis. 0ne tribe says they have been forced to move twice.

11:13 pm
back theresa may's withdrawal deal. i have always seen the biggest danger in this parliament is that we have parliament with the remaining majority that we deliberate as long as possible. it is up to those mps elected on a promise to know the referendum to do the honourable thing and vote for the prime minister's deal and leave on the 20 ninth of march. he told me that the eu is becoming increasingly worried that theresa may won't be able to get the backing of mps for her brexit deal. but do not see how that is a majority. in the comments for this slightly improved deal. they are seeing some mendham that essentially
11:14 pm
tries to enshrine this. —— amendment. it does not seem to be enough and if not, we do things go from here? there are three votes set up from here? there are three votes set upfor from here? there are three votes set up for the comments and what happens if, in the uk they vote notably improved deal, note for no deal and note for an extension. ——no. it is a scenario that can play out and i do not think anyone is prepared to that. how effective is the eu seven beat with regards to extending the date? we have heard quite a bit of flexibility. it would be the rational thing to do if there is no deal but it has to be an extension for some concrete purpose according to people like president mccrum. ——
11:15 pm
macron. that has been some softening but it is important to remember that the uk has to ask that extension and then all 27 have to agree and there are some among the 27 that do not see how kicking this can make is anything better, that it will delay the inevitable. the uk needs to be pressured to make this hard choice to understand the experts in the uk say an ideal scenario would be catastrophic. this backstop was never intended to be used at all let alone to become permanent. it is their as a parachute but at the end of the day, the brexiteers, the hardliner need to realise is that not get behind theresa may's deal they are facing uncertain prospects. maybe if the government collapses,
11:16 pm
maybe there are elections, maybe there is and other referendum. now it isa there is and other referendum. now it is a moment to get out the door. why would extend the date not be desirable? it is notjust not desirable? it is notjust not desirable but at some point it will come logistically impossible. it would face a constitutional crisis. it has to be exceeded in may. that would happen around july two. if the uk is still a member of the eu, it it must send members of the european parliament to represent the british citizens. the headlines on bbc news: the dutch husband of shamima begum, the teenager who has been stripped of her british citizenship forjoining the islamic state group,

i have been speaking to elizabeth pearson, a news editor of the bbc‘s sky at night magazine, about what these events mean for the future of these events mean for the future of the us space programme. for the us, it marks the beginning of aid the shift in terms of crude spaceflight. —— a big shift. this is the first time since 2011, once this is fully accredited, this will be the first time that the us themselves can get into space. until now they have alloyed on the russian soyuz capshaw ts, alloyed on the russian soyuz capshaw ‘s, which are very reliable, as it means the us has to rely on a foreign power. —— the russian soyuz capsules. and they‘ re foreign power. —— the russian soyuz capsules. and they're all the political implications that go along with that. for them, political implications that go along with that. forthem, it political implications that go along with that. for them, it is about putting american spaceflight back into american hands back into their control. what is the next test going to be? the next test for this particular crude capsule, once it
11:24 pm
comes back, because one of the riskiest parts of this mission is the re—entry, which will happen on friday, at the next test they will have to do in the next couple of months is the abort mission. this is what happens if, during launch, something goes wrong. can the capsule each act? can it abort, can ta ke capsule each act? can it abort, can take those people safely back to earth without them being in any danger? what is the next hope, then, for the american space programme? because of course nasser wanted to carry on, it was political will that was lacking? —— nasa. carry on, it was political will that was lacking? -- nasa. spaceflight, particularly in nations like america, is entirely driven by politics. there has to be the will to drive these people into space and spend huge amounts of money involved. the republican party, back in power, they have always been very keen since the 1960s to keep going back to the moon, to keep returning there. there is a long—term plan at nasa to return to the moon. they are
11:25 pm
starting something called be lunar gateway, a big ship which will go back and forth from the moon, and these kinds of crude capsules will ta ke these kinds of crude capsules will take a big part in that. nasa wants to get people out of low orbit and deep into space. which means mars, presumably? hopefully one day, in the future, at most people in our thinking about going to mars want to thinking about going to mars want to think they can get to the safely first, perhaps set up some kind of semipermanent base there, and then perhaps move on towards mars. that was elizabeth pearson, from the bbc‘s sky at night magazine. and we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers owen bennett, who's head of politics at cityam, and the broadcaster lynn faulds wood. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for a look at the weather. helen is here, and storm freya is trying to do her western is she? —— worst.

11:27 pm
northern ireland, it could turn frosty, a bit of ice in a surround first thing in the morning. certainly a glass of those gales down the north sea and rain and hill snow to clear. as i mentioned, it is almost yesterday's news. moving out into the north sea and the afternoon is looking much drier and brighter thanit is looking much drier and brighter than it has been today. there will be showers. it is that sort of a strea m be showers. it is that sort of a stream we have be showers. it is that sort of a stream we have seen be showers. it is that sort of a stream we have seen coming in off the atlantic. lots of moisture around. hale and thunder, perhaps a bit wintry over the hills, and temperatures, 8—11 is about average at this time of year, but after last week it will feel chilly once again. showers coming in thick and fast, and right the way through the evening and overnight into tuesday morning. anotherfairly evening and overnight into tuesday morning. another fairly chilly night, but we've got quite a lot of cloud around. those showers, too. localised frost, but with low pressure around , localised frost, but with low pressure around, on tuesday, the day ahead will look fairly unsettled. in fa ct, ahead will look fairly unsettled. in fact, low ahead will look fairly unsettled. in fa ct, low pressure ahead will look fairly unsettled. in fact, low pressure for most days this week except friday. in fact, we could see lengthy spells of rain, hill snow on tuesday. it looks most
11:28 pm
likely to fall across parts of scotland, possibly northern england and northern ireland. showers tending to ease in england later in the day, ahead of this growing band of rain behind me, which, you guessed it, is the next area of low pressure which will come in through tuesday night into wednesday. most of us will once again get a longer speu of us will once again get a longer spell of rain, as we have seen during the day today. strong winds as well. hopefully not as strong as those today. interestingly, it is coming into that cold air, that band of rain becoming slow—moving, and we could see some substantial hills though. one to watch. —— substantial hill snow.
