a statement. —— common sense. he's been pushing the pressure he very this is bbc news. ha rd been pushing the pressure he very i'm clive myrie. hard for more money, philip hammond the headlines at 11pm: has chipped in on the side of the a teenager has been charged perimeter in this debate asking if with the murder of 17—year—old the police can do more with the yousef makki, who was stabbed to death in greater manchester resources that he gives them. one of on saturday. the problems with knife crime is police investigating the fatal that it stabbing of 17—year—old the problems with knife crime is thatitis the problems with knife crime is that it is such a political jodie chesney in east london say football, sorry to be cliche. they've arrested a man in leicester. particularly given the prime minister ran the home office for so britain's most senior officer, cressida dick, says there is a link long, she cannot say there is not a between falling police connection between police numbers and knife crime without making her numbers and violent crime. own previous remarks untrue. she has to stick to the line that she wrote i agree that there is some link between violent crime on the streets all those years in the home office. and it's true in some ways that obviously and police numbers, of there is not a direct cormorant —— course there is. and i think everybody would see that. correlation because it is much more counter—terror police are investigating three packages containing explosives found complicated of an issue. but there at heathrow airport, london city airport are direct results of conservative and waterloo station. policies that have led to more gang one of the soldiers on duty on bloody sunday in londonderry members. it is very complicated and in 1972, when 13 civilians were shot dead by the army, people can be terribly simplistic in order to win a political point over the other the micro dispatch box. so

she is stuck sticking to her own line, which cressida dick says is not the whole truth. javid has to separate himself from theresa may because her policies look wrong. so for him to win, he has to distance himself from the pm. we know he has leadership ambitions, so there is that going on. meanwhile thousands of kids are being stabbed, and the issues, the exclusions that are causing kids to become gang members, the lack of social centres for youth centres, the 60% cuts in those council budgets, all those things are not being talked about because it is being discussed in this high political level. we've had various people on bbc news throughout the day yesterday and today making it clear that you need to have a holistic approach. look at education, social services, mental health, everything around that.

where they politicians or experts? these were experts, exactly. it's good to take a professional opinion on that. and of course glasgow is a case in point where they've actually worked brilliantly. by over a fairly lengthy amount of times, 12 years so pollute more money for the police,. but it needs to be increased senses, so but it needs to be increased senses, so it can't be lilly livered senses. you give longer sentences but also give these kids opportunities for things to do. that is too collocated for politicians, apparently. most politicians. interesting story on the front page of the daily telegraph. rape case julie the front page of the daily telegraph. rape casejulie trials could be scrapped ?

telegraph. rape casejulie trials could be scrapped? this is clearly very controversial, we are very proud of ourjury system in this country. in some people's eyes, this is ripping up 800 years of legal tradition. this is something politicians have been coming around to and legal experts have been coming around to for some years, and coffee has been leading the campaign in the house of commons, saying rate convention —— rate conviction rapes are pathetic. something must be done, and one thing people are saying would lead to much better conviction rates is ifjuries were taken away because juries don't tend to be very, very good atjudging rate cases. it is often said that they have these very instinctive, emotional ideas, they can be swayed by the adversarial nature of the two barristers going at each other and

going for the victim. because the judge can cut through that. the judge can cut through that. the judge can cut through that. the judge can see that and not be so preoccupied. many of these pathetic arguments that are made, like she was asking for it, wearing sexy underwear, he's too sexy to be a rapist... these are the reasons why people get off. the judge would see right through that. some judges. i was going to say in some theory, somejudges have come up was going to say in some theory, some judges have come up with their own choice comments on this. but in north ireland, you have a different court because there is a sense that you could not divorce the past history and legacy, and the ideas that people come to a courtroom with, judging an issue on the merits that are right in front of you. but they were highly controversial courts at the time, and i think this would be a controversial — it is true that conviction rates are incredibly low and there is no

incentive for women to come forward because why put yourself through the ordeal when the odds are stacked against you to get a conviction at the end of it? i can see the attraction if you strip the emotion out of it for the potential of the conviction rates. but on the other end, you would need to be careful with specific cases. with child murderers... no trial byjury, which is the bedrock of the justice system, being judged by is the bedrock of the justice system, beingjudged byajury is the bedrock of the justice system, being judged by a jury of your peers. sol system, being judged by a jury of your peers. so i can see that for this, but you have to be very careful. and there are other issues with our known conviction rates. so other countries have different definitions of rape, our definition of rape is very specific. i won't go into different definitions of what it is, but other countries have

looser definitions and better conviction rates because it is very difficult to convict in the uk. so those are different areas that should be looked at. that is what should be looked at. that is what should be looked at, absolutely. financial times, kevin, northern ireland warned of unrest and food shortages. project fear was blue we are back to my island again. david sterling... there warning of the dangers of a new deal brings it. we have next week, the real high noon, a few high noon is to be fair. next week is a meaningful vote, as opposed to the others. and potentially another to vote afterwards. if the deal is rejected again, there'sa afterwards. if the deal is rejected again, there's a good chance it would happen, we would have another vote on whether to take no deal off the table, and another vote to

extend article 50. the chances of a no—deal brexit are increasing, and this is setting out in stark terms what is at risk, in particular the unrest, food shortages, the economy could absently tank, you're looking at taking 90% off gdp. obviously these are forecast, this won't definitely happen, but this politically puts huge pressure on the dup. everything hinges on whether the dup gives their thumbs up whether the dup gives their thumbs up orthumbs whether the dup gives their thumbs up or thumbs down to the new deal.|j feel sorry for them at the moment. maybe not that sorry because they've had their billion pound bundle,... but if it means that their constituents are going to suffer, thenit constituents are going to suffer, then it means the next election they will suffer as a party. especially because the dup represents what part of the population? a third. and yet

they've got 100% of the say.|j of the population? a third. and yet they've got 100% of the say. i agree with they've got 10096 of the say. i agree with you, this is project fear, or project smear... no, no, i'm playing devils advocate. you said potentially, i say it is. david sterling, the head of the northern iron civil service, he's never written a private letter that hasn't been leaked. he is the bleakest civil servant —— northern ireland civil servant —— northern ireland civil service. some would say it was written to be leaked. the financial times, the saps... it is written to be leaked. the financial times, the saps. .. it is a very financial times story, we know they are massively anti—brexit, and they've slightly fallen into that. daisy, pat brexit. .. they've slightly fallen into that. daisy, pat brexit... is this project fear? no, this is the car

manufacturer of cosmic reality, and we know current manufacturers are coming from. we understand the geneva motor show started today, and it starts officially tomorrow. so we are going to get a lot of manufacturing comments over the next ten days, all of whom will be anti—brexit. but this is interesting, they've got them talking about whether the many will still be produced near oxford, and lots of other car—makers, like bentley who are associated with many, nissan, toyota, they're all saying the same thing and they're all in geneva and furious about brexit. we've been hearing these warnings from car manufacturers right from the very beginning, since 2016, since the vote. is this a message also to mps to vote for the deal? i saw a quote elsewhere that

bmw in particular, they don't want an extension to article 50, they don't want this uncertainty to continue. theyjust want the deal to pass. you're right, the timing is why all these quotes are coming out at the same time. but the timing is helpful for the government if they are trying to focus mps's mines to back the deal. 850,000 people rely on the car sector for their livelihood in the uk, so a lot of people, whether project fear or not, this is uncertainty and anxiety for hundreds of thousands of families up and down the country. as much as anyone, they are owed a certainties. that is one of the great tragedies of the horrendous way the deal has been negotiated. no matter whether you voted to leave or remain, nobody thought we would still not know what was going on at this stage. and when you worry about your job, that's terrible! a lot of those people will

have voted for brexit but not thought about the sundays, that we would still be this uncertain. very quickly, front page of the telegraph, prince charles's anniversary. here is him with mum. basically kevin, it is the 50th anniversary of his investiture? yes, 50 years now since he became prince of wales. i'm sure he thought as he sat at the throne that date, getting the credit democrat on his day, he would deftly be king. but you look at the king there, the queen still looks fantastic. it doesn't look like she's ready to hand over anything. if he has herjeans, how long until william gets his hands on the throne? we will leave it there, you both will be back in 35 minutes. that's it for the papers this hour. from us all, goodbye.

good evening. some wind and rain in ourforecast for the next few days, quite a turbulent, changeable spell in our weather. the next weather maker on our scene is the world of cloud. you can see the way it races across the atlantic, quite a deep area of low pressure, throwing cloud and rain north eastwards across the uk. this is the radar picture from earlier on, you can see the way the rain has worked its way across the southwest towards east anglia, starting to get into northern england as we look through the nights. as the wet weather spreads north in a scotland, we will see some snow over high ground, 3—400 metres. pretty chilly in the north, freezing in aberdeen. mild in the south but windy, so it will be a windy start to wednesday with this area of low pressure right on top of the british isles. wind circulating around in this direction, anticlockwise direction.

the strongest of the winds we found across the southwest through the port to micro first part of the day, wind gusts of 50—60 mph are possible. outbreaks of rain drifting northwards across scotland with snow over high ground. for england and wales, we will see some spells of sunshine developing into the afternoon, but also some hefty showers cropping up that could give a short and short burst of heavy rain with thunder and lightning, really ghastly wins. but those temperatures, 13—15dc. contrast that with seven celsius in belfast. a lot of cloud in outbreaks of rain in scotland and northern ireland, and for scotland, certainly some sleet and snow over high ground. and as that chilly air in the north spreads south into thursday, and we pick up some cold air from the arctic. chilly day on thursday with these outbreaks of shall remain, but also sleet and snow. snow to relatively low levels across scotland. it will be very windy across the northeast,

even the south where we don't see many showers. temperatures down at 11 celsius. friday gives us a brief chance to draw breath, some spells of sunshine as we start off the day. but here's our next atlantic frontal system outbreaks of rain pushing in from the west later on. temperatures are between 8—11dc, and for the weekend it stays very unsettled with the brain at times and gales and snow over the hills. it will feel rather chilly.
