of undercover policing, and the officers paid to spy on political activists. bbc wales investigates why some had relationships with women, the pilot of a jet which crashed at the shoreham airshow, hello, and welcome to bbc news. the baby son of shamima begum, the teenager whojoined the islamic state group, has died in a camp in syria. a paramedic told the bbc that the baby, who was about two weeks old and died from a lung infection. she had already lost two babies and had wanted to return to britain, but was stripped of her citizenship. daniel sandford reports. when the bbc first interviewed shamima begum 2.5 weeks ago, she'd just given birth to a baby boy, jerrah. in his short life, he lived in one internment camp and then another. his mother said her two other children had already died at the end of last year. these are my children. the way i lost them, i don't want to lose this baby as well, and this is really not a place to raise children, this camp. now, medical staff in the camp where she's living and the local military forces, the sdf, have confirmed to the bbc that her baby died yesterday

in a nearby hospital after having breathing difficulties. he's already been buried. the family are devastated. the family are not surprised. there were concerns about the child's welfare. shamima has lost her food card, she's made that quite clear, and wasn't able to feed herself, let alone the baby. the family of shamima begum had asked the home office for help, but the home secretary sajid javid's response was to take away her british citizenship, and the government gave them no assistance in trying to bring her 2—week—old baby boy to the safety of the uk. in a letter sent by the home office this week to shamima begum's sister, an official wrote... but then the official wrote that... it was a point sajid javid reinforced today after reports of the baby boy's death first surfaced.

the foreign office has been clear for many years, there is no british consulate presence, there's no way that anyone can be helped in any way, including innocent children. this is why it's so dangerous. tonight, labour described the home secretary's decision making as callous and inhumane. save the children said that 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. daniel sandford, bbc news. our correspondent quentin sommerville, who interviewed shemima begum, is in northern syria. he explained just how bad conditions are in the camps. shamima is being kept in one of the better camps, but at the main camp, they are completely overwhelmed. they are running out of blankets and tents, there is not enough food, and these are dangerous places for dangerous is supporters.

—— full of dangerous women, is supporters. in the last few days, in fact, 16,000 people, including children, have arrived at one of the camps here. one of the things that is worth remembering is that islamic state did not give up — it held until the last minute, it held onto its supporters and it held onto its children. when i sanerrah, shamima's small boy, just a couple of weeks ago, he was doing well, but that kid had been through a lot already. the people coming out of there were suffering malnutrition and, as we heard in that report, shamima begum already lost two babies while with islamic state. she came here in search of the perfect islamic family life, she said. well, like much else promised by the islamic state, that turned out to be a lie. let's get some of the day's other news. donald trump is in alabama meeting victims of last weekends tornadoes that left at least 23 people dead. the president and first lady took a helicopter tour of the area before going to homes in the especially hard—hit community of beauregard. the former us intelligence analyst, chelsea manning, has beenjailed for refusing to give evidence to a grand jury

investigation into wikileaks. manning was arrested in iraq in 2010 after passing on archives of confidential military and diplomatic files to wikileaks. she was sentenced to 35 years in prison, before her sentence was commuted by president obama in 2017. a motherfrom uganda has become the first person to be jailed forfemale genital mutilation in the uk. the 37—year—old woman cut her 3—year—old daughter at the family home in east london in 2017. she's been sentenced to 11 years jail. the judge said it was a barbaric, sickening and pre—meditated crime. with just three weeks until the uk is due to leave the european union, the british prime minister theresa may has warned that if parliament rejects her brexit deal again next week, the country risks not leaving the eu at all. speaking in grimsby, where people voted by nearly

overwhelmingly to leave the eu, the prime minister urged mps to honour the result of the referendum or risk plunging the country into what she called a "moment of crisis." reject it, and no—one knows what will happen. we may not leave the eu for many months. we may not leave without protections that the deal provides. we may never leave at all. in brussels, the eu's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier said the eu would give ‘legal force‘ to assurances already made that the uk could not be stuck in a customs union. our europe editor katya adler explained the political reaction to today's statements in the uk and brussels. michel barnier‘s proposal went down like a lead balloon, and that is putting it very politely. the brexit secretary shot back that, with a real deadline looming, 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 up off a uk—specific part of the backstop. now, on the one hand, this would allay brexiteers‘ fears that they could get stuck in a customs union to 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 and that is for northern ireland only backstop, and the prime minister 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 the uk—wide backstop. so essentially, with three weeks to go, we have come round full circle and we are finding ourselves bang in the middle of a blame game of the prime minister appearing to point the finger today at the eu, saying if there is no deal, it will be the fault of the eu's intransigence, or as we heard from the dutch prime minister today, who also spoke to the prime minister tonight, and he put the blame at having too many uk red lines.

so what next? it is not quite game over because both sides still want to deal, and they will be meeting again this sunday for more talks. the authorities in venezuela are struggling to restore power supplies after a 24—hour blackout. on friday afternoon electricity was restored to parts of the capital, caracas, and in some eastern states, but latest reports indicate that the power has failed again. will grantjoins me now from caracas. clearly there is some power there given that you have a lamp on behind you, but what is the state of play at the moment? yeah, i wasjust taking a bit of a drive around the city and your description is a pretty fair one. it was returned to parts of the city, i think that is the right way to explain it. and those areas began to look like they

we re those areas began to look like they were getting back to normal, families were going out onto the streets and trying to go to a future that were opening. but before you got back to the other end of the city it was complete darkness again. so very, very patchy. reports are coming in all the time of areas that had electricity being plunged back into darkness again. if it is coming back it is coming back in a patchy way. do we know what has caused this blackout? the government is saying sabotage, what do they mean by that? well, this comes, as you know, in the midst of a very tense situation between the government of president maduro and the opposition leader, juan guaido, who is essentially trying to force mr maduro out of office. the president blamed juan guaido, blamed the opposition parties, blamed washington, for having carried out acts of sabotage on the hydroelectric dam, the main

hydroelectric dam which supplies domestic energy consumption in venezuela. they say that the softwa re venezuela. they say that the software has been attacked which i’u ns software has been attacked which runs the dam, runs the hydraulic plant, and that this was masterminded in washington. of course, this is laughed off byjuan guaido, who says all of this is down to economic mismanagement and incompetence on the part of president maduro's government. give us president maduro's government. give usa president maduro's government. give us a sense president maduro's government. give us a sense of the disruption this is causing? i gather there are people stranded at the main international airport, among other things. that's right. it has been a very, very difficult 2a hours, over 2a hours 110w. difficult 2a hours, over 2a hours now. yes, flights have been grounded. of course people have not been able to get to work, public transport has been collapsing. more importantly, two hospitals have been under very great pressure. we spoke toa under very great pressure. we spoke to a worker at a hospital who didn't wa nt to to a worker at a hospital who didn't want to give her name, but spoke to

us on want to give her name, but spoke to us on the condition of anonymity, saying that conditions inside were extremely difficult over the past 2a hours, and in particular, the paediatrics ward was very badly affected, and their apparently have been some deaths. an extremely difficult period. grim news for venezuelans on top of what was already an extremely tense and difficult few months. will, thank you there much. that was will grant in caracas. tens of thousands of algerians have been taking part in demonstrations once again today demanding an end to the rule of president abdelaziz bouteflika. there have been two weeks of unrest prompted by the announcement of mr bouteflika's intention to stand in the coming elections and seek a fifth term of office. rana jawad reports. this is probably not what algeria's ruling elite expected. their people continuously taking to the streets, attracting bigger crowds by the day, and bolder messages against them.

like this one here, which reads "if you are not the government that will world algeria then do not become the government that will destroy it. that message is that the heart of the political uncertainties and economic worries which are driving people to speak out in a country which rarely sees its nationals challenging the ruling country's grip on algeria. translation: challenging the ruling country's grip on algeria. translationzlj challenging the ruling country's grip on algeria. translation: i am saying no to the regime. we need a better future for our children. we did not live a good life, but we wa nt did not live a good life, but we want our children to live about a life. we want to bring down the regime. the problem is the regime. but the regime has so far only given algerians and ailing president who is still undergoing medical checks in switzerland. in a letter on thursday admitted to him, he warned against chaos, of so—called troublemakers infiltrating the demonstrations. the ongoing protests that began two weeks ago were

sparked by the incumbent president's intention to run in the upcoming elections. despite a stroke in 2013 that left him bound to a wheelchair, rarely making public appearances, and barely able to speak. algeria has since seen its youth, its lawyers and even journalists take to the streets to express their disbelief at his candidacy. on thursday, prominent members of the opposition and other independent figures met to discuss the protest and their role moving forward. they have long been weakened by the ruling party and also viewed with a degree of suspicion by the public. one speaker there said he didn't wa nt to one speaker there said he didn't want to read on social media that the opposition wants to take over the opposition wants to take over the people's movement. for now, the people appear determined to keep marching. seemingly on a mission to reclaim a country and a future of their own design.

stay with us on bbc world news, still to come: celebrating a successful splashdown. the spacex dragon completes its mission, setting the stage for a new chapter in commercial flight. the numbers of dead and wounded defied belief. this the worst terrorist atrocity on european soil in modern times. in less than 2a hours then, the soviet union lost an elderly sick leader and replaced him with a dynamic figure 20 years his junior. we heard these gunshots in the gym. then he came out through a fire exit and started firing at our huts. god, we were all petrified. james earl ray, aged 41, sentenced to 99 years and due for parole when he's 90, travelled from memphis jail to nashville state prison in an eight—car convoy.

paul, what's it feel like to be married at last? it feels fine, thank you. what are you going to do now? is it going to change your life much, do you think? i don't know really — i've never been married before. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: it's been confirmed that the child of shamima begum — a british teenager who joined the islamic state group — has died in a detention camp. prime minister may calls on mps to back her deal as the european union offers more talks and suggests northern ireland could stay in the customs unions. earlier, i spoke to kirsty mcneill. she is executive director of policy, advocacy and campaigns at save the children uk.

i asked her what the situation was like in the camps. we have had 84 confirmed deaths in the so far two thirds of which have been children under five so this latest tragic incident is one of many. so children in the camp get access to tents, need access to food, warm clothing, medical attention and psychological support. in this particular case of shamima begum baby, which we understand baby boy has died in one of these camps and we gather that shamima begum has lost two other children as well while there, what do you make of the way this case has been handled? we think all governments have a responsibility to children of which they are nationals, we have seen a number of children suffering from

hypothermia, not having access to the right food, these children are british government responsibilities, if there parents are british. it is an credibly sad that shamima begum lost her citizenship and you think all governments need to take responsibility for everyone in these camps. and in terms of the way that these camps are run, i mean, who is responsible for those? there is about 54,000 people in this camp and there are de facto authorities in that area but not the government is ui would recognise as such, 54,000 people being cared for by aid workers, over 90% of them are women and children's we have various agencies try to cope with an influx which is overwhelming and in freezing winter temperatures. kirsty mcneill speaking to me earlier. 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 54, had been performing a loop when his ex—militaryjet crashed on to 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. 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, some just passing by. a veteran chauffeur, workmates, 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. it'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's just 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 played in their deaths 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 — —— he asks me to recite a nursery rhyme while pushing 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. and 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 airshows. 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 air shows over land. and after years of concentrating on protecting the safety of crowds at an air show, 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 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.

all around the world, women and men have demanded better pay, more rights and respect for women on international women's day. but in turkey, marches were marred by violence as thousands of women attempted to push past police to demonstrate in the istanbul's taksim square. the us actorjussie smollett is facing a series of new charges following claims he falsely reported that he was a victim of a hate crime. a grand jury in chicago has issued a 16—count indictment against the star of the empire television programme. the citation says the actor pretended to be the victim of a racist and homophobic attack. america hasn't been able to send its own astronauts into orbit since the end of the space shuttle programme in 2011, but that could soon 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 the vehicle returned to earth from the international space station. but all went to plan, which means two astronauts may make their first flight this summer.

here's pallab ghosh. applause and cheering. it could not have gone any better. a successful splashdown and a mission where everything went like clockwork. mission control: 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 that they might 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. archive neil armstrong: 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 space flight missions have been grounded. so those chutes do the initial slowing, and then they're ultimately going to pull out... if dragon's mission has gone as well as it seems, those glory days could soon be back. pallab ghosh, bbc news. before we go, i want to bring you this story from the galapagos where scientists have discovered a natural hammerhead shark refuge. about 20 of the endangered sharks were found at the breeding ground off the island of santa cruz.

it is the second such refuge detected in the archipelago. the first, found in 2017, had about 30 of the sharks. researchers have attached tracing devices to five of the sharks to monitor the ecosystem they live in. hammerheads grow slowly and are not particularly fertile reproducers, which has placed them in danger of extinction. that looked like a turtle at the end there! is to reminder of the top story, the baby son of shamima begum the british team are better for teenager who joined the british team are better for teenager whojoined is in syria has reportedly died of a lung infection. shamima begum was recently stripped of the british citizenship. her family had been pushing for her baby to be brought to the uk. more on that online, just go to our website. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @benmbland. this is bbc world news. thank you
