celebrations, as america's new commercial astronaut capsule the first match and are set successfully completes its first flight. to win the series. and coming up on but they got off to a dreadful start sportsday on bbc news: can england recover after a shaky after being put into bat. start to their second twenty20 international with the west indies? whenjoe denly was bowled by fabian allen, they were 32—11 in the sixth over. joe root made 55, a crucial innings and sam billings with 87 rebuilt the innings and set the windies 183 to win. it's with the ball they've dominated, taking the crucial wicket of chris gayle, who went for five. good evening. the west indies collapsed syrian authorities say the baby dramatically to 36—8 son of shamima begum, the teenager who ran away when carlos brathwite was diusmissed by adil rashid. from london tojoin the islamic state group, rangers hopes of preventing an eighth successive title has died in syria. for their old firm rivals celtic a paramedic told the bbc appear to have drifted further way this evening. that the baby, who was about two they could only draw 1—1 weeks old, died yesterday from a lung infection. at mid table hibernian. shamima begum was 15 when she left rangers took the lead the uk four years ago, and was found in a syrian refugee just before half—time. a swift counterattack ended camp last month. with this goal from daniel candeias. she had already lost two babies

there were unsavoury scenes just and had wanted to return to britain, before the break when a fan went but was stripped of her citizenship onto the pitch and confronted james by the home secretary. our home affairs correspondent, tavernier. daniel sandford, reports. the fan was grabbed by the authorities and removed from the pitch. in the second half, birthday boy florian kamberi equalised, when the bbc first interviewed shamima begum two and a half weeks salvaging a point for the home side. ago, she had just given birth to a much tighter affair baby boy, jarrah. in his short life, in the championship in england, he lived in one internment camp and where the league—leaders norwich then another. his mother said her beat swansea tonight to move five points clear at the top. two other children had already died the vistors had the best at the end of last year. these are of it in the first half, my children the way i lost them, i but couldn't find the goal. don't want to lose this baby as well and this is really not a place to norwich could in the second half. emi buendia's goal giving raise children, this camp. now them their sixth league win medical staff in a camp where she is in seven games. it's been confirmed this evening living and the local military forces the sdf have confirmed to the bbc that tottenham will move that her baby died yesterday in a into their new stadium this season, nearby hospital, after having with their first premier league breathing difficulties. he has fixture to be played there in april, already been buried. the family are eight months later than planned. devastated, the family are not spurs were scheduled to move there in september towards the start surprised, there were concerns about of the season, but construction the child's welfare and ms begum has ran into delays.

lost her food card, she made that if brighton beat millwall quite clear, and was not able to in the fa cup on 17 march, feed herself, let alone the baby. crystal palace will be spurs' the family of shamima begum had opponents on 3 april. if brighton are knocked out, asked the home office for help but home secretary sajid javid's it'll be they who line up response was to take away her british citizenship and the against spurs on either government gave them no assistance the 6 or 7 april. in trying to bring her two—week—old as pep guardiola prepares his side to face watford tomorrow, baby boy to the safety of the uk. in the premier league have announced they're investigating a letter sent by the home this week manchester city for allegedly to shamima begum's sister, an official wrote to... breaching financial fair play rules. yesterday, uefa said it, too, was looking into several alleged violations at the club. city claim the allegations are entirely false and manager pep guardiola insists the situation won't affect his team heading it was a point sajid javid reinforce today after reports of the baby boy's death first surfaced. the foreign office has been clearfor many years, there is no british consulate presence, there is no way that anyone can be helped in any way, including innocent children, this is why it is so dangerous.

tonight, labour described the home secretary's decision making as callous and inhumane. save the children said more than 60 children under the age of five had now died in the camps and called on the uk and other countries to take responsibility for their citizens in north—east syria and take them home. our correspondent quentin sommerville, who interviewed shemima begum last month, joins me from northern syria. when you spoke to her, she was concerned about her child. what exactly are conditions in the camps like? the conditions are appalling. shamima is being kept on one of the better camps, but in one of the main camps, they are completely overwhelmed, running out of blankets and tents, there is not enough food, and tents, there is not enough food, and these are dangerous places. so -- full and these are dangerous places. so —— full of dangerous women, is

supporters. 16,000 women including children have arrived here over the last few days. one thing worth remembering is that the islamic state did not give up, it held until the last minute, to its supporters and to its children. when i saw jarrah, the son of shamima begum, a few weeks ago, he was doing well, but he had been through a lot already. the people coming out there we re already. the people coming out there were suffering from malnutrition and as we head into annual‘s report, shamima already lost two babies inside the islamic state. she came here in search of the islamic state, she said —— in search of the perfect islamic life, but like everything else in the islamic state, that turned out to be untrue. daniel sandford joins me now. what sort of fallout could there be from this for the home secretary? at first, it seems politically convenient to make life difficult for shamima begum, there were a lot of political downsides to helping her and her baby to come home and a

lot of political upside for the home secretary to be tough and say we are not going to help these people that went out tojoin not going to help these people that went out to join islamic state. the problem is that now this little boy has died, there are some quite strong political risks. save the children are saying these people need to be treated much more humanely. and the government's position that it is impossible to get people out of these camps because it is too dangerous, is repeatedly shown to be not entirely accurate because british journalists and other foreign journalists are able to get to these camps relatively safely and go and see people, and working with the red crescent, it should be possible to get people from the camps if there was the political will. i think tonight, there is some sign the government knows it is in a little bit of a problem, a government spokesman statement tonight said that the death of any child is tragic and deeply distressing for the family. so some acknowledgement that there has been a tragic event here. daniel, thank you.

the pilot who crashed during the shoreham airshow four years ago, killing 11 men, has been found not guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. andrew hill, who's 5a, had been performing a loop when his ex—militaryjet crashed onto the a27 in sussex, and then exploded into a fireball. it was the first time that a pilot had been charged with manslaughter, following deaths at an air show. our correspondent tom symonds is live in shoreham for us tonight. yes, this was the worst airshow disaster since the 19505. and it yes, this was the worst airshow di5aster since the 19505. and it is commemorated with this plaque and a bridge close to where the plane came down. it was a very complicated ca5e. down. it was a very complicated case. the police and the jury had to understand many of the technical aspects of flying, and the families of these 11 men who died, they were in court every single day and when the verdict came through, the judge paid tribute to what he said was their dignity. the last seconds of andrew hill's flight. what followed was described by one

witness as "like a war zone". bleep! the 11 men who died were all on the busy a27 — some to watch the flying, someju5t passing by, a veteran chauffeur, workmate5, friends heading home. daniele polito died not knowing that he would become a father for a second time. he has two little boys that he will never see grow up and they will never have their daddy, and it's just so cruel. there's something that could have been avoided, which seems quite obvious, that it could have been avoided. it's just caused so much destruction to so many people. jacob schilt and his friend, matthew grimstone, had been driving to their football club, worthing united, when the plane hit their car. from the beginning, you thought, this is absurd, you know, my son's been killed by a jet fighter at a display, it'sjust absurd. andrew hill, ex—raf,

a british airways captain, has always accepted his flying that day was poor. outside court, he read the names of those who died. i'm truly sorry for the part i've played in their death, and it is they that i will remember for the rest of my life. his cockpit ended up in a field. he was badly injured and, crucially, he had no memory of the flight. no memory of being hundreds of feet too low during the fatal loop. he said he must have been physically affected by something. this is the home of the british aerobatic academy. in the back seat, instructor adrian willis teaches pilots from all over the world. one thing they learn — how to cope with g—force, the extra force on the body in tight turns. he asks me to recite a nursery rhyme while putting us through 6g. that's six times the earth's gravitational pull. humpty dumpty... had a great fall... humpty dumpty...

all the king's horses... all the king's men... couldn't put humpty together again. now, fighter pilots train for this, but andrew hill is no longer an raf pilot and the verdict was worrying for one victim's family. we feel that the success of mr hill's defence of cognitive impairment is a worrying precedent and could have far—reaching consequences. the case already has for those flying former militaryjets in air shows. they're operated by companies and charities, and shoreham has raised big questions about safety. this air display team currently can't fly aerobatics in airshows over land. and after years of concentrating on protecting the safety of crowds at an airshow, now regulators are looking at the risks to 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. and it's our duty — as trustees, custodians of these aircraft — to work within those regulations that are put before us and continue as best we can to display these heritage assets to the public. next come the inquests into the 11 deaths. the victims‘ families say they intend to play a full part. tom symonds, bbc news. the prime minister has appealed to eu leaders for "one more push" to get her brexit deal through parliament. speaking in grimsby, theresa may warned of "a moment of crisis" if mp5 again reject her deal when they vote on tuesday. we'll have the view from europe in a moment but, first, this report from john pienaar. hard work, this, a bit like brexit. or maybe a journey — going nowhere, destination unknown. so today, the prime minister came here to grimsby, where seven out of

ten voted to leave. her appeal to mp5 — back her plan. 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. and then, with brexit talks deadlocked, this message to brussels. well, just as mp5 will face a big choice next week, the eu has to make a choice too. the decisions that the european union makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote. are you simply keen to shift the blame for the way the talks have deadlocked towards the european union and away from yourself? my message to the european union is very clear — this is the moment, this is the time. the british public, as i say, have moved on. they want us to get this done. it takes both sides to get that negotiation through. are you willing to contemplate allowing conservative colleagues, including ministers,

to vote to block a no—deal brexit, given you've said it could harm britain and the british people? for those who don't want us to leave without a deal, actually, the best way is to vote for the deal, so that we leave with that deal. down at the docks, you could find sympathy for mrs may, but also impatience. i think margaret thatcher would do a betterjob. i think she'd got more balls. don't you? but, you know, a lot of people didn't like her. obviously, if she can help us out and stay by us and try and sort this out, then that would be good for all of us around here. no matter what theresa may comes up with, they're going to throw it out. a, it doesn't help she's a lady. if she was a big strapping bloke, they might have different views on it. sympathy in the country may comfort mrs may but, at westminster, she's suspected of taking brexit down to the wire, hoping mp5 see her plan as the last best option. it could be the prime minister who runs out of road first. the threat‘s not just from brexiteers. some pro—european ministers say

they'll ignore mrs may if her deal fails and vote to stop a brexit with no deal. myself and other colleagues will prevent the country from crashing out of the eu by voting against no—deal. a no—deal is not in britain's interests. the labour leader's keen to see mrs may defeated. is he as keen on a referendum, or backing away? no, we're not backing away. what we're saying is the priority at this moment is to stop a no—deal exit. a no—deal exit would be very damaging to jobs, very damaging to industry. just now, people are getting on with daily life. the next brexit setback, or breakthrough, could change the country's future, but all people here and across the country can do now is wait to see how. john pienaar, bbc news, grimsby. well, today, the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, made another proposal over the issue of the backstop — that's the mechanism to avoid a hard border in ireland. he said britain could have the unilateral right to leave a customs union, but that northern ireland would remain part of

the eu customs territory. our europe editor, katya adler, is in brussels for us tonight. katya, this proposal has already met with a frosty response from the brexit secretary and the dup. well, that's absolutely right, rita, michel barnier‘s proposal went down like a lead balloon, and that is putting it very politely, the brexit secretary said that now is not the time to come up with old arguments, and what did he mean by that? well, what the eu is offering is for the uk to step out of the uk — specific pa rt uk to step out of the uk — specific part of the backstop. on the one hand, this would allay the fears of brexiteers that they could get stuck ina brexiteers that they could get stuck in a customs union union through the backstop, it would allow the government to make trade deals in goods as well as services while in the backstop, but essentially it comes back to the eu's plan a, and

thatis comes back to the eu's plan a, and that is for a northern ireland only backstop, and throw rejected that at the time because she said it threatened the union, dividing northern ireland from great britain and that is why she came up with the idea of a uk—wide backstop. so essentially with three weeks to go, rita, we have come full circle and we are finding our self slap bang in the middle of a blame game, with the prime minister appearing to point the finger today at the eu, saying that if there is no deal it will be the fault of eu intransigence, whereas we heard from the dutch prime minister today, who also spoke to the prime minister tonight, and he put the blame at having to many uk red lines. so what next? it is not quite game over, because both sides still want a deal and they will be meeting again this sunday for more talks. katya, many thanks. let's take a look at some of the day's other stories, and a mother has been jailed for 11 years, after becoming the first person in britain to be convicted of female genital mutilation. her three—year—old daughter,

who was treated at this hospital, was cut at the family home in east london in 2017. the 37—year—old woman, who was born in uganda, can't be named for legal reasons. thejudge called it "a barbaric crime". the northern ireland secretary, karen bradley, is under more pressure to resign, after saying in the commons this week that killings by soldiers during the troubles were not crimes. she met relatives of some of those killed by the security forces, who say they have no confidence in her. relatives of some other victims refused to meet her at all. tens of thousands of algerians have taken to the streets of the capital city, algiers, today, protesting against the president, abdelaziz bouteflika. it follows his decision to seek a fifth term in office, despite being in his 805 and having suffered a stroke in 2013. state television said tonight there have been nearly 200 arrests. a headteacher has told the bbc how she's had to scrub the toilets, clean the school, and work in the canteen,

because of a lack of funds. she spoke out as thousands of headteachers across england warned in a letter to parents of a funding crisis. the government says school funding for england is at its highest ever level. our education correspondent frankie mccamley reports. that'sjust main meal deal, yeah? thank you very much. thank you. you'd be forgiven for thinking this is like any other school canteen. but in fact, this is the head teacher behind the till, often she simply can't afford the staff. and it's notjust here, other departments are feeling the squeeze. if i take you into the science room and show you that in here, we have got students who are working three orfour to a group... so it's about £1.60 to £2 per pupil per head per year and from that, the head of science has to decide what she's going to buy. so, some of the equipment that we use, like today, this lesson, the students can do the practical but the but the students nextdoor can't. what are the most extreme kind of things, situations, you've found yourself in because of the lack of funding?

well, we haven't been able to employ, or we haven't had the funds to be able to employ cleaners, i will clean a toilet, cleaners, i will clean the toilets, i'm absolutely angry about it. i also feel incredibly embarrassed that i'm standing in front of you telling you i don't have any money — but it's not my embarrassment. i'm really sad that i can't provide for the students within my care. in the sixth form study room, students tell me they've noticed the purse strings are tightening. i chose to do art but due to lack of certain textiles, the class has had to be combined because it wasn't financially available to do two separate classes. this school has managed to stay afloat and build new facilities by selling some of its land to a nearby property developer. but others across the country don't have that luxury. the department for education says funding is at its highest ever level, nearly £41; billion, compared to spending ofjust over £30 billion eight years ago. but teachers say what matters is spending per pupil, analysis shows that has actually fallen by 8% since 2010. the government insists

there is more money. we are asking schools to do more and we know that they have had to absorb costs such as higher national insurance contributions, higher teachers‘ pension contributions, but we are spending record amounts on our schools and in this year and the next financial year, we are giving every local authority more money for every pupil in every school. but with pupil numbers rising, head teachers are not backing down, as they continue to fill their funding gaps. frankie mccamley, bbc news. the us hasn't been able to send astronauts into orbit since the end of the space shuttle programme in 2011. but that could be about to change after its new commercial astronaut capsule, the spacex dragon, successfully completed its first flight today, splashing down in the atlantic. there were no crew on board, just a dummy, as it returned to earth from the international

space station. but all went to plan, as pallab ghosh reports. applause and cheering. it could not have gone any better. a successful splashdown and a mission where everything went like clockwork. dragon has returned to planet earth, it is now back home... the day started with the crew of the international space station saying goodbye to the uncrewed capsule they may be flying on their next mission. and we have motion. you see dragon physically separating from the international space station... on board is a dummy named ripley, packed with sensors so engineers can analyse how astronauts will experience the ride. the dragon spacecraft continuing to descend, it's now subsonic, so already starting to slow down... just under six hours later, and it comes into view from earth. its heat shield uses a relatively untested technology. and it seems to have worked, protecting the capsule during re—entry.

it goes exactly to plan. seems to have gone well, splashdown was beautiful, the engineers and technicians and everybody on the ground will be checking over all the numbers, all the data and making sure that everything is good for a future crewed mission later this year, hopefully. it's one small step for man... nasa is hoping for a return to its golden era, when 50 years ago, it was able to send astronauts to the moon. for eight long years, the agency's human spaceflight missions have been grounded. so, those chutes do the initial slowing, and then they're ultimately going to pull out... but if dragon's mission has gone as well as it seems, those glory days could soon be back. pallab ghosh, bbc news. back now to brexit, and with the deadline of march 29 now just three weeks away, there's still huge uncertainty over what will happen, despite two years of negotiations between theresa may's government and brussels. so, how have voters viewed this period, and have opinions changed?

our special correspondent allan little has been to southampton to find out. i'm going back to the south coast. more for southampton... ? southampton is where i started as a trainee reporter in the 19805. i'd be very upset if we hear that we are not leaving on 29th march. it was booming in those thatcher years, its prosperity still attracts migrant workers from the eu. we as a nation, as polish people, have brought a lot into this country. this is not the england of the so—called left behinds. why can't we make our own rules? it's difficult to be told what to do by another country. so, why did southampton vote to leave? and what does it expect this month? danny voted to leave. he owns a successful small business refurbishing yachts.

he recently sent a workforce of ten from britain to do a big job in the south of france. we may have to get to the point where you've got to sort visas out for working in europe. so when you voted leave, did you think about that? not at the time because we weren't doing that work. but that work will need to continue, really. and you're not worried that that work will now go to a french supplier rather than to you? well, they could well do that, yeah, it could stay in europe, with people in the union. so you'd still vote leave if there were a second vote? yeah, i think so. so, it's our 11th birthday, guys, thank you so much for being part of the company... tomasz came to southampton from poland when he was 13, he founded his own marketing company, and now employs ten people full—time. someone very hungry, want a big piece? he was sure britain would vote to remain. did you feel your presence here was made less secure? not necessarily less secure — less welcomed. so i did consider actually moving

to australia for a while. ijust thought, i'm going to be home sick again, i really don't want to do it, the uk is my home, i really want to stay here. you don't want a second referendum? that would be a great option, i think it would be very nice, but what's the likelihood of that really happening and being called in time? purline was born injamaica and came to britain when she was 11. she's a ukip branch chairman, she's now worried brexit will be betrayed. the eu has the upper hand, and because they have so many people here in the uk who are elected representatives in parliament, who have been tripping over to brussels and having private conversations, and they have become anti—british and antidemocratic. southampton voted narrowly to leave but, like britain, still can't agree what kind of leaving it favours.

next week, i'm heading north, to a very different england, one that seems much more sure. allan little, bbc news, southampton. newsnight‘s starting over on bbc two shortly, with more on the shamima begum story. 00:26:18,662 --> 2147483051:49:54,046 now on bbc one it's time 2147483051:49:54,046 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 for the news where you are.
