let's talk to and wingo now. from our studio let's talk to and wingo now. from ourstudio in let's talk to and wingo now. from our studio in berlin. thank you for your bingo at us. i enjoyed your first series. —— anna wenger. on today at 5pm — the pilot international women's day, i talked to us about how you see it as so whose plane crashed at the shoreham airshow killing important to get female roles in 11 people is found not your show. even though it may not be guilty of manslaughter as andrew hill's hawker hunterjet historically accurate. actually, there weren't many women are brown exploded in a fireball after his attempt at a loop manoevre went disastrously wrong — outside and east german intelligence in those days. there were not a lot of the court he issued this apology. women in the east german top brass, i am truly sorry for the part but in the 80s, but we are making i played in their death this out now and we are really and it is a day i will remember for the rest of my life. interested in history as metaphor and so it was a chance, we always thank you. relatives of those who died wept in court looking at the past in terms of how as the verdict was returned — it resonates with the present and we they say they still want answers. it has been a long and complex trial are making the show at a time when and we feel that the success of mr women's rights and the role of women hill's defence of cognitive in the workplace and our own impairment is a worrying precedent industry and in politics of course, and could have are being discussed every day, so far—reaching consequences. somehow, we put a lot of... i write we'll have the latest from the old bailey. and talking to an air display pilot. it delete macro a lot a big strong

the other main stories female characters into the top brass on bbc news at 5pm. of the east german intelligence. it theresa may appeals is always a question of striking a to mps and the eu to act balance between what really happens now for a brexit deal — she says it needs one more push. and taking a little bit of artistic reject it and no one licence. some people will say you're knows what will happen. we may not leave the eu for many months, we may leave without just not being historically accurate, do you care about that? the protections of the deal, no. there was no bathroom for women we may never leave at all. in the headquarters. the woman had to cross the courtyard to go to the and in the last hour — bathroom. so, it is definitely true there were no women in the top ranks the eu brexit negotiator there were no women in the top ranks there but we have some fabulous michel barnier offers fresh proposals — woman on our show, and i think we could they help break the deadlock? explore all kinds of interesting stories around them. you think it is there are women in my life that i important to get women in the show wa nt there are women in my life that i want to send some love to today but that you make an ethnicity as well, is that important? i think diversity also the men. and then i will put my and inclusion of all kinds in a way, feet up because that is a deserved television is aspirational and important for me as the creator treat, especially at this stage of pregnancy. treat, especially at this other television shows to explore stage of pregnancy. and looking forward to taking it easy, that, and to create material that

the duchess of sussex tells us how she's celebrating resonates and now and create great international women's day. and brie larson and samuel ljackson role models for our audience. so, are out to save the universe in the latest superhero film, yes. women is one theme and people captain marvel. see what mark kermode makes of that and the rest of this week's of colour is another very important releases in the film review. theme. i think about that a lot. yours is one show, very successful, but in general, do you think the television industry in the movie industry are changing in this way? yes, there is a lot of work to be done but i think, we are trying to its 5pm — our top story. done but i think, we are trying to do it, so certainly for me it is an outgrowth of who i am and what the pilot whose plane crashed interest me in general as a woman at shoreham airshow, killing 11 people, has been cleared and a person and as a writer, so i of manslaughter by gross negligence. hope things are changing for the better. as a female writer and andrew hill had been attempting a loop manouevre when his hawker hunterjet exploded creator of a series like this, do you feel a responsibility there to into a fireball four years ago. make sure that you have people of the prosecution claimed he had a cavalier attitude to safety both genders strongly represented in your shows and people of different and was flying his plane too low, but the jury unanimously ethnicities and so on as well? is acquitted him. relatives of the victims wept in that part of your mission almost?”

court as the verdicts were returned. think it a part of my mission both our correspondent sarah campbell asa think it a part of my mission both as a writer and a creator of tv is at the old bailey... shows cook that there be women and people of colour and a diversity of tom symons has this report. last voices in general both in front of the camera and the camera. i think seconds of andrew's flight. both of those are a really important andi both of those are a really important and i have been devoted to that project. good luck with the new series. thank you forjoining us. the northern ireland secretary karen bradley has described a meeting with the families of some victims of the troubles as "humbling". she met relatives of people killed by security forces today the last seconds of andrew hill's flight. and apologised for controversial what followed was described by one remarks she had made about the troubles. witness as like a war zone. in the house of commons two days ago bleep. the 11 men who died she said that deaths were all on the busy a27. caused by security forces in northern ireland some had come to watch the flying, were "not crimes". others were just passing by. the sister of a man who was shot they included a veteran chauffeur, workmates, friends heading home. dead by the army, has daniele polito died not knowing he would become called for her to quit. a father for a second time. he has two little boys their murders were not conducted that he will never see grow up and they will never in a appropriate manner, have their daddy. it is just so cruel. nor were they dignified. there is something that they were murders and they should be could have been avoided,

which seems quite obvious, investigated as such. that it could have been avoided. it has just caused so much and the secretary of state destruction to so many people. for northern ireland, karen bradley, jacob schilt and his friend matthew grimstone had been has a duty to ensure that those on their way to play for their football team, investigations take place. worthing united when the plane hit their car. so what the families from the beginning, you thought this is absurd, this morning told her is you know, my son has been killed by a jet fighter that we have no confidence at a display, it's just absurd. in her and we believe her position andrew hill, ex—raf, is completely and utterly untenable a british airways captain, has always aceepted his and we have asked her to resign. flying that day was poor. the government is giving outside court he read diplomatic protection the names of those who died. to the british iranian woman — nazanin zagari ratcliffe — i am truly sorry for the part i have as a way of helping secure her played in their death. release from prison in iran. it is they that i will it means her case will now be remember for the rest of my life. treated as a formal, legal dispute his cockpit ended up in a field. between the uk and iran. he was badly injured and crucially the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt he had no memory of the says it's an important diplomatic step but not a magic wand. flight. no memory of being hundreds of feet too low during the fatal mrs zaghari ratcliffe is serving blow. a five year sentence for spying — he said he must have been physically a charge she's always denied. affected by something. this is the home of the british aerobatic academy. america's new commercial astronaut in the back seat, capsule — spacex dragon — instructor adrian willis. he teaches pilots all over the world. has completed its mission one thing they learn and returned to earth. is how to cope with g it's spent the past week in space docked with force, the extra force on the body in tight turns. the international space station, he asks me to recite but earlier today it made its return

journey and splashed down safely a nursery rhyme while in the atlantic ocean. putting us through six g. this mission was uncrewed — that six times the earth's gravitational but the plan is to use the carrier pull. to send astronauts into space humpty dumpty had a great fall. humpty... dumpty... later this year. the headlines on bbc news... all the king's horses, all the king's men couldn't put... he slurs his words the pilot whose plane crashed at the shoreham airshow killing 11 people has been found not ..humpty together again. guilty of manslaughter. relatives of those who died wept in fighter pilots trained for this but court as the verdict was returned — andrew hill is no longer an raf saying they still want answers. theresa may appeals pilot and the verdict was worrying to eu leaders for help for the family. we feel the success in getting her brexit deal through parliament — but warns of a "moment of his defence of cognitive impairment isa of his defence of cognitive of crisis" if mps reject it. impairment is a worrying precedent and could have far—reaching consequences. the case already has. they are operated by companies and charities and show him has raised

big questions about safety. this air display team currently can't fight aerobatics in airshows over land. and after years of concentrating on protecting the safety of crowds at an airshow, now regulators are looking at risks to the people in surrounding areas. at the end of the day, we have to be hugely sympathetic to what has happened and due process needs to take place and we expect that regulations will change. it is our duty to work within those regulations and continue as best we can to display these assets to the public. next come the inquest into the ii these assets to the public. next come the inquest into the 11 deaths. the victims family say they intend to play a full part. tom symons, bbc news. let'sjoin our to play a full part. tom symons, bbc news. let's join our correspondent sarah campbell. what more can you tell us about the reaction of the victims's families today? this has gone on for eight weeks now. it has

been a long and distressing trial at a time. primarily for the families. if you can imagine, there were many videos shown of the event of the day and of course people at the airshow with cameras. they have had to sit through and watch the moments that their loved ones died. that has been very distressing for them and some of those family members, when those of those family members, when those of not guilty verdicts were read out, they were visibly upset. we had a statement that was released after those verdicts. this is from the pa rents of those verdicts. this is from the parents of matthew greenstone. they we re parents of matthew greenstone. they were killed on their way to a football match. there seems to be no justice for our son or the others who died. why are we allowing any form of aerobatics to be performed when there is no doubt concerning any pilot's ability to avoid becoming cognitively impaired from the normal g forces. that what is

the normal g forces. that what is the defence put forward by andrew hill. understandably, the family still had many questions which they wa nt still had many questions which they want answered, some of which are likely to be raised again during those inquest which is due to start later this year. this issue of cognitive impairment came up during the trial. as an air display pilot, have you ever felt anything like that? i never have, no. i do anything like that? i never have, no. idog anything like that? i never have, no. i do g fast training. every fight, whether you are a pilot, i now have the instinct as i pulled the control common to increase the angle of attack which will increase g forces, i instinctively brace against the g two to resist the

greying out phenomenon. in the wake of what happened in that terrible tragedy, however air displays change? the civil aviation authority have made great strides in looking at how an air display is run. i am speaking as not only as a pilot leading the team but also as an event organiser. we now have to do quite extensive risk assessment for a small show, for a crowd of ten people are a crowd of 10,000 or more. a risk assessment which looks into every detail of what is going to happen and what is going on. so you think safety has improved? because some people watching this will say air displays should just be banned altogether. maybe the risk is just too high to have planes flying quite low and spectators on the ground. some displays have been

curtailed and have been stopped or cancelled because it is felt that the risk assessment, there is too great a risk for that particular venue. but, of course, air displays should not be cancelled. take for example the show for children in need. it flies over open countryside. risk assessment, i would biggest risk is of third parties walking onto a footpath. we have taken care of those in our management procedures. we are flying over open countryside so not all events and venues are the same. seaside shows, very popular. again, risk assessment. keeping the boat out of the display area. do you think there is anything that could be done to tighten up safety more? aviation authority worked for three

yea rs aviation authority worked for three years and i feel now they have got toa years and i feel now they have got to a point where they have created the structure which is very good indeed to protect third parties, spectators on—site and off—site. good to talk to you. thank you for your time. a second person has been arrested on suspicion of murdering the teenager, jodie chesney, who was stabbed in the back in a park in east london a week ago. police say the 17—year—old male suspect was detained in london this morning. a 20—year—old man arrested in leicester on tuesday evening is still in custody. three teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of murder after a 17 year—old boy was stabbed to death in west london. the victim was found yesterday afternoon with multiple stab wounds to his chest in west kensington. he was taken to hospital, but died shortly afterwards. an eighteen—year—old man, along with two boys aged 17 and 15, are in custody.

theresa may has warned mps and the eu that they must "act now" if they want to secure a brexit deal. in a speech in grimsby this lunchtime, she said mps would face a "moment of crisis" if they reject her deal next week. if they do, they then expect to vote on whether to leave the eu with no deal, or delay britain's departure. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. grimsby in north east lincolnshire. voters here backed brexit by more than 2:1 in the referendum. two and a half years on, though, it is still not completely clear what their decision will mean. the prime minister was here today with a message for brussels. with talks in deadlock over how to ensure no hard border in ireland, the eu needs to agree to some sort of change before parliament votes on tuesday. we are both participants in this process. it is in the european interest for the uk to leave with a deal. we are working with them. but the decisions that the european union makes over

the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote. so let's not hold back. let's do what is necessary for mps to back the deal on tuesday. there was also a message for mps who want to deliver brexit, but haven't yet been convinced by her plan. back it, and the uk will leave the european union. reject it, and no one knows what will happen. we may not leave the eu for many months. we may leave without the protections that the deal provides. we may never leave at all. back here at westminster, the prime minister still has a mountain to climb. no 10 admit talks with europe have been tough and will continue to be so. many are talking about this going right to the wire — it could be monday before we know if there has been a breakthrough. and, because of that, several people here are talking about when, and not if, the government loses next week because she has just not won over her tory critics.

the withdrawal agreement itself is so completely flawed that i could not possibly vote for it, simply on the grounds it makes us a subjugated vassal state. labour mps will vote against the deal next week, and jeremy corbyn is dismissive of the pm's message to brussels. it sounds more like a sign of desperation to me. the vote in parliament should have been on december the 11th. she delayed that and then lost the vote by the biggest—ever margin a government has lost a vote on her deal. ireland's pm is not in the mood for changing his mind either. he said today europe has already made compromises, and it should be the uk offering brussels more. brexit is a problem of their creation. what was agreed is already a compromise. they have failed to secure ratification of this so it should be a question of what they are now willing to offer us, rather than the opposite. so the people of grimsby and the rest of the country wait, to see if the prime minister can secure any changes, if her brexit deal can be salvaged.

let's discuss this let's a little bit more now. let's discuss this a little bit in a moment we'll get the latest from our political correspondent jonathan blake in wesminster, but first adam fleming is in brussels for us we've been hearing today from michel barnier, the chief eu brexit negotiator. he's also been tweeting in the last hour or so. what is it insane? so what happened is that michel barnier updated ambassadors from the 27 eu countries about what has gone on this week and about the proposal is that the eu had tabled to provide reassurance to the uk about the northern irish backstop. now it is getting very complicated so now it is getting very complicated so bear with me. the first part of the package is that letter which was written in january the package is that letter which was written injanuary by donald tusk in saying that the backstop would be

temporary if it was ever required. the eu would work really quickly to get a trade deal in time, that letter is going to be put into eight special legal form that will go alongside the treaty so it will be pa rt alongside the treaty so it will be part of the overall deal rather than a letter sent from one office to another to make it a bit stronger and a bit more legally binding. then there will also be a reminder that there will also be a reminder that there is a bit in the withdrawal agreement that says if there is a dispute between the two sides then the uk could choose to suspend the application of a bit of the withdrawal agreement as a result and i could apply to the backstop. if there was a fight between brussels and london about the backstop, the arbitration panel ofjudges and london about the backstop, the arbitration panel of judges and lawyers said, the eu hasn't done the right thing here, the uk can take a bit of the backstop out and say that it does not apply any more. all this was ina it does not apply any more. all this was in a series of tweets from michel barnier because he wants to make sure we got all the detail. the

really interesting one was his fourth tweet. you, the uk could have a unilateral exit mechanism to come out of that bit of the backstop in the future if you wanted. the idea that there is to neutralise this accusation thrown at the eu that secretly they want to keep the uk in a customs union against its will. the eu is saying the, that tweet, numberfour, the eu is saying the, that tweet, number four, that a future government could come out of that customs union bit of the backstop if it wanted. the crucial bit is the rest of the backstop would still apply in northern ireland. northern ireland would still be part of the eu's customs territory. northern ireland would still have to sign up to about 100 pages of eu rules and regulations on goods, products and

agriculture and livestock. i imagine the problem that people in the uk will have with it is that it doesn't solve the problem the uk parliament has with the backstop. i promise i'm nearly done! you talked about that doorstep with michel barnier. i had a quick word with the chief negotiator early on. it is very revealing because he uses two words — blame game. that is one of the reasons why they have been so open today about what they are put on the table, even if it may prove to be unacceptable table, even if it may prove to be u na cce pta ble to table, even if it may prove to be unacceptable to the uk. here is a man himself. the eu stands united. we are not interested in the blame game. we are interested in the result. do you think there is a blame game? and we are still working. that was michel barnier earlier. in a nutshell, if you can, tweeting and before that you talked about, does not amount to a concession from the

eu? the eu wouldn't use a word concession. they would say it is not contradicting anything that they have signed up to with the uk already. they would say that they are trying to help the uk. if you wa nt to are trying to help the uk. if you want to put it in a nutshell, the way i would describe it is that for now, if this deal go through as it is, then there would be no customs border in the irish sea but a future prime minister or government, conservative, labour, could make a decision to come out of the customs union bit of the backstop and put that customs border in the irish sea. the eu would say, we are giving the uka sea. the eu would say, we are giving the uk a choice, an extra tool to manage this brexit process. i think the uk would say, it really isn't worth the paper it is written on. thank you very much for the moment. andrew fleming in brussels. at put that to jonathan blake. andrew fleming in brussels. at put that tojonathan blake. he is saying the eu wouldn't characterise this as

a concession. is it anything that theresa may can try and use to get her brexit deal over the line next week? i doubt very much that it is. we've had no response from the government to michel barnier‘s latest series of tweets when we set out what adam has explained there. but i think it is very unlikely to shift the dial and either to convince enough mps to back the prime minister's deal or to allow theresa may to claim that she has won any kind of a concession from brussels because, as adam was

explaining, this is beefing up a commitment that has already been made and something that the prime minister said she would never agree to because it would effectively mean a body in the irish sea and northern ireland being subject to different regulations than the rest of the united kingdom. so whilst people in westminster, mps, most of them in their constituencies today, will be digesting this latest news from the european union, i think it is going to be met with a collective shrug of the shoulders, if not scratching of the shoulders, if not scratching of the head by brexiteers who are keen to see more from the eu in the way of changes, notjust clarifications, to the withdrawal agreement. all right, jonathan, thank you very much. that's jonathan right, jonathan, thank you very much. that'sjonathan blake, our political correspondent at westminster. we've been getting unconfirmed reports today. we are getting unconfirmed reports that the baby of shamima begum — the teenager who fled the uk to join the islamic state group — has died. we have been unable to independently verify it — the family lawyer says he has "strong but unconfirmed reports" that her two—week—old son is dead. however, a spokesman for the syrian democratic forces said that the baby was actually still alive. our correspondent richard lister has the latest. shamima begum, interviews asked month. he was concealed under

her clothing. she said she had already lost two children wanted a new baby to be safe. everything i have been through, i didn't expect that i would go through that. losing my children the way i lost them, i don't want to lose his baby as well. this is really not the place to raise children, this camp. maybe temporarily but not permanently. but today the family's lawyer tweeted that... shamima begum and her baby when moved from this camp in northern syria to another one but the party is in control of the area are insisting that the baby is still alive. are you sure that shamima begum? the home secretary has already stripped her of her citizenship. he said he had no information about her son but the

risk was clear. we have been clear for many years. there is no way that anyone can be helped in any way, including innocent children. this is why it is so dangerous i don't know. this is why it is so dangerous. there seems little chance that shamima begum will return to london but report about her baby son may prompt another debate about how to deal with those like her, whose children may be british subjects. richard lister, bbc news. we can talk now to the home affairs correspondent. these have been unconfirmed reports all day today. can you bring the selectors? it has been a rapidly changing story. first a lawyer who said he had strong unconfirmed reports of the baby had died. then a spokesman saying that those reports are fake. we have now extensive conversations with medical

people in the camp where she was moved. those medical sources say that her baby had breathing difficulties yesterday morning, was rushed to a local hospital, they try to treat her there at the local hospital but at lunchtime, they say, that the baby did indeed die and that the baby did indeed die and that shamima begum and her baby son we re that shamima begum and her baby son were taken back to the camp and the baby has already been buried at the camp. so medical sources in the camp are saying that the story is correct. they say they are 100% sure it was shamima begum. one source said she had held the baby in her arms after it had died. so they are fairly sure that this is accurate. obviously, there is some lingering doubt because of the certainty that he was alive and well in the stf statement. from the people we have been speaking to, it looks like the report is accurate. so this will be

the third child she has had there who have all died. they've all died in the last few months. the first of her children died while she was already sleeping on the street because they were sleeping outside by the time that the first of our children died. then the second of her children died. then this third child was born and people will remember the sense that you could get from her that at least there was one surviving child now and the desperation she had, she gave it as one of the reasons for finally leaving stop she wanted to get the child to safety. but if these medical sources in the camp are accurate, and i don't see a reason to doubt them, and it looks like she has lost a third child. thank you very much. a woman has been sentenced to 11 years after becoming the first person to be convicted of female genital mutilation in the uk. the 37—year—old from uganda

was found guilty last month. her three—year—old daughter was cut at the family home in 2017. speaking outside of the old bailey. she hopes a wider... fgm is an extremely form of child abuse and today's sentence underlines the fact. we at the crown prosecution service have kept in mind all the way through that at the heart of this case is a three—year—old girl. her mother planned and arranged for this procedure to be carried out and she knew it was wrong. her daughter was seriously injured. she then tried to cover up her crimes by lying about what had happened, but our prosecution was able to present evidence to the jury that cut through her lies. the court heard today about the impact on this young girl. fgm also has a wider impact on the community. i'm very proud of the cps team who have worked so hard with police

and council to successfully prosecute this crime. we hope that this conviction encourages those who have experienced fgm or who have suspicions about fgm offences to come forward, knowing that we will treat everyone with sensitivity and respect. next week marks eight years since the beginning of the war in syria. it's thought that about half a million syrians have been killed in the conflict and many more have been injured. more people have had to flee their homes than in any other crisis of our time. more than 5.6 million people have fled syria since 2011, mostly to the neighbouring countries of turkey, lebanon and jordan. stefano severe is the un refugee agency s representative in jordan. how many refugees are there in

georgian? 670,000. the total number is 760,000, including 56 different nationalities. what sort of conditions are they living in? the majority of refugees live outside camps. traditionally, it is believed they live in camps, but it is only about 20% who are in four major camps, two very large ones. what sort of impact are they having on the country? obviously, it is a huge number of people. you will recall last week there was a major conference here in london to boost the economy and of course the refugee percent has represented a toll for the country but we also see positive signs that the refugee population inside jordan, as positive signs that the refugee population insidejordan, as they have participated in the economy,

accessing the labour market. the majority of the refugees are able to go to school. eight years into the crisis we can see thatjordan has really played a marvellous role in hosting these refugees. inside syria we have seen islamic state effectively defeated on the battlefield. there are some syrian refugees who are now wanting to go home or even are going home. what are your thoughts about that? what is your advice to them? officially we are still cautious about encouraging refugees to go back. but we see refugees go back, about 27,000 from jordan alone. 12,500 since the bodice reopened. why are they going back? because i miss their homeland so much because i think it is safer? by and large i think it is safer? by and large i think many are homesick but there are also some factors that they feel

that now eight years into the crisis they have exhausted their little savings. perhaps, from an economic point of view, they would be better off trying to make it at home. there are people who have been born as refugees who have spent all their lives as refugees. indeed. 1 million babies born since the syrian refugee crisis started. eight years on, do you foresee an end to the conflict in syria and a time when all those refugees are going to be able to go back? eventually we hope that they will be able to go back. today we see the numbers of returnees are buried timid. only about 8% expressed an interest in returning in the coming year. do you think conditions for those refugees, not only in jordan but conditions for those refugees, not only injordan but in other countries, are they improving? because when they initially came out of syria it was a huge shock in conditions were rudimentary. have conditions were rudimentary. have conditions improved? yes, and i would say that thanks to the generous public here in great britain and other donors that have

helped the jordanians britain and other donors that have helped thejordanians to absorb these refugees, to provide them with basic medical health care, schooling and more recently, even opened up thejob and more recently, even opened up the job market with over 120,000 syrian refugees that have acquired work permits inside jordan. very good to talk to you. thanks for coming in. stefano severe. talking about the continuing problems of all the refugees that are there. time for a look at the weather. here's sarah keith lucas with the forecast things are looking pretty unsettled that we had through the course of the weekend. we've had a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain today. a bit more of sunshine breaking through through the weekend but still some showers around. we are going to be losing cloud and rain, clearing off towards the east towards this evening. marshall was coming in from the north—west. heavy in northern ireland and northern

england. some snow. a chilly and windy started saturday morning and it will be a day of sunshine and showers. the southern half of england and wales, a lot of dry weather. reasonably mild. 12 to 1a degrees. further north, blustery showers and sleet and snow over higher ground. a cooler day to come for sunday with a brisk westerly wind driving in showers of sleet and hail snow across the north—west of the uk. drier the further south—east you are but a cold story wherever you are but a cold story wherever you are but a cold story wherever you are with top temperatures of just four to 10 degrees. this is bbc news. the headlines... andrew hill — the pilot whose plane crashed at the shoreham airshow killing 11 people is found not guilty of manslaughter — he apologised outside court to the victims' families.

i am truly sorry for the part i played in their death and it is a day i will remember for the rest of my life. relatives wept in court as the verdict was returned — they said they still want answers. it has been a long and complex trial and we feel that the success of mr hill's defence of cognitive impairment is a worrying precedent and could have far—reaching consequences. theresa may appeals to eu leaders for help in getting her brexit deal through parliament — but warns of a "moment of crisis" if mps reject it. they‘ re unconfirmed reports that the baby of shamima begum — the teenager that fled london to join the islamic state group, has died. reports have come from the family lawyer and a paramedic working in the camp where the child was living. now to the sport withjohn watson.

good afternoon. we will begin with football. the premier league have announced they too are investigating manchester city for allegedly breaching financial fair play rules. yesterday uefa said it was looking into "several alleged violations" at the club. city claim the allegations are "entirely false" and manager pep guardiola insisted the situation would not affect his team nor would it have a bearing on the legacy he's building at the club. last season, the club has done a lot, but hopefully, they can solve it as soon as possible. for this environment. are you concerned at all that your legacy at this foot ball clu b all that your legacy at this football club will be tainted by the allegations in whatever you if i decide to do? and no. absolutely not. chelsea say they're "astonished" that their request to freeze a ban on signing new players has been
