has died in syria. a paramedic told the bbc that the child died from a lung infection. ms begum had hoped to return to britain but was stripped of her citizenship. new satellite images of a facility near pyongyang suggests north korea may be preparing to launch a missile or a satellite. the analysis comes after two us think tanks reported earlier this week that north korea's main rocket launch site had been rebuilt. the american actor, jussie smollett, faces new charges following claims he falsely reported that he was a victim of a hate crime. the charges against the star of the tv drama, empire, relate to an alleged attack in january. he has denied all charges. 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 a 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 students next door 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 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 £44 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. now on bbc news, it's time for our world and a special programme as part of crossing divides, the bbc season bringing people together in a fragmented world. with political violence on the rise in america, mike wendling's been to portland, oregon to find out whether activists on the right and left can find any common ground.

is bad. fourth degrees are awarded by getting attack by antifascist, fighting or getting arrested. not exactly your average adding thing club. how many times have you been arrested? 18 times. coming times as it happened in portland? all in portland? yes. this man, known by his nickname tiny, is originally from american samoa. he is one of the group's leaders. he is brothers point to him when they deny they are racist. —— here's proud boy brothers. he has already been arrested for harassment and assault. ready? but he claims that the

cowboys are simply standing up for free speech. and antifascist other real root of the problem. —— proud boys mac. they are being selfish, not everybody in portland agrees with them and if they are trying to build a community, it is a community of mass ninjas that does not follow the law, that does not at all. accusations of violence go both ways, when they clash, everyone is affected. the protests, a lot of the time the police will set up a system of barricades to try to keep the protestors separated or to try to keep it conte into one area. local journalist mike covers the right—wing rallies in portland. this is where it begins, but it is not where it ends. brawl spilt out onto the streets. on october 13, they

a city that we believe there are some pre—emptive steps we could take, limit the rights to firearms, close certain public facilities, will acquire notification, keep different groups separated a reasonable amount of distance they could not brawl. although it did not pass the council because the lawmakers worried about restricting free speech. —— the law. the marchers cannot be stopped by the city government, and the antifascist said they will not rely on local police. —— antifascist s. said they will not rely on local police. -- antifascist s. butl said they will not rely on local police. -- antifascist s. but i got out of the military, i got rid of every weapon i had. do you have done now? of course. as we on our way to the barber, we see how easily things

fascism is, iam personal philosophy is that we ever fascism is, i am going to be there and i'm going to confront it. —— wherever. the fighting is not confined to the streets, sometimes it comes home. person ran up to the tree right there into rocks in my window. you can see it as a double pane glass window here. this year, on st patrick's day, my house was firebombed. this thing hit the side of the house and fell down in the shooting out flames. did the police ever find who was responsible?” don't call the police, i don't call a group of people without harmony to try and protect me. both the antifascist and the proud boys mac said the police are too hard on their side, and too soft on the other. for antifa, even

their side, and too soft on the other. forantifa, even talking their side, and too soft on the other. for antifa, even talking to the cops can get you cut off from the cops can get you cut off from the group. people are not lining up to co—operate with us. the group. people are not lining up to co-operate with us. danielle outlaw has been portland's chief of police for less than two years.” get the chief outlaw, who's sidey won? what a little black girls going to think of you for protecting white supremacist? we enforce laws but we focus on behaviours, and regardless of which side it is, we still have an obligation to protect and to facilitate first amendment rights to free speech, regardless of what is being said. we have convinced robber and luis to exercise their freedom of speech with each other. —— rob. they hate each other but they agree to use words, not this. ijust hope they stick to the bargain. what do you hope might come out of that meeting? is anything going to come

out of it, no, i'm trepidation is.” think is going to attack me stop wide rob and the other hand is not sure what to expect. i worry that he is going to say some wine going to say something that is just going to trigger the other one and it is going to go to hell, he might teach me something, i might teach him something that i never expect to change someone's mine. so you hope to have a connection with him? everybody should do that, still humans. —— mind. everybody should do that, still humans. -- mind. we meet in the cannabis club. they do agree on at least one thing, liberalising america's drug laws is a good idea. it was not sure the discussion was going to happen at all, until they both arrived. —— i was not sure. we have hired security, just in case. rob's cat marley is spruced too.

gamers whose tenses i read out the rules. number one, no violence.” feel so much more like i am would be interacting with you if i could see your eyes. excuse me. no. luis won't address rob directly, body language says it all. luis, what do you think of rob? i think he is a bigot, i think is a misogynist, i think is violent towards women and i think a racist. is obviously ignorant and who i am. you are not those things? you can't be a racist if you don't subscribe to raise. well, what do you think of luis? i think is violent on the street. we saw what you did, all right? does not to it. 0k, you did, all right? does not to it. ok, so, luis, respond to that.”

you did, all right? does not to it. ok, so, luis, respond to that. i am not the one who has been caught on video camera threatening to punch women in the face. i am more qualified than these peaceful guys to know what you are about, because lama to know what you are about, because i am a violent man, and you are violent man, that is howl i am a violent man, and you are violent man, that is how i see what you do, is see what i do. ijust, with my own eyes, to my experience, asa with my own eyes, to my experience, as a violent person, i know that you are violent person. -- a violent person. i showed video clips with a verbally attacking the other side. give mea verbally attacking the other side. give me a good reason. ok, we have recorded that you say you are going to burn down our bookstore. oh my god! well, how is that ever justified, the threatened to burn down at bookstore? and so justified in telling those fools and is going to burn down the bookstore. it is not illegal, is it? i think to burn down the bookstore. it is not illegal, is it? ithink burning down the bookstore is probably illegal. is it? if i could

a good time, that is it, i threatened her with a good time. you've seen the text. how does this send? making the proud boys go away and. he wants me to leave my own town? you want to just walk off a cliff? how you see this ending? badly. -- how do you see. so no meeting of minds but it is that all went off without a fight and marley the cat had a good time. luis is back with his fellow antifascist. they wait for nightfall before dropping their banner on a bridge. portland is a warning about where american politics could lead. —— antifascists. one thing is clear, these two groups will keep fighting.

hello. there is plenty of weather heading our way this weekend. remember when high pressure was in control and it was all quiet? that's a long way to the south of us now. it's the atlantic in charge with low pressure driving weather disturbances our way on a strong and quite often cold wind over the weekend, though across southern areas it will be briefly milder on saturday, but then, the cold air comes back across all areas as we do on through sunday. and by then, more of us are going to be seeing some snow out of the showers that are falling. so it is windy this weekend — widely gusting 40—50 miles an hour. it will feel chilly in the wind. some rain, some hill snow initially, but even to lower levels, some snow later in the weekend

across south places, especially scotland. some sunshine too. an area of rain and hill snow in northern england as saturday begins. clears away, but there'll be further showers coming into northern and western scotland, northern ireland and running across northern england. still wintry on hills. many other places, though, staying largely dry and seeing some sunshine, though this area of wet weather will be lingering close to orkney during the day. very strong winds here across northern scotland with 60 miles an hour or so as the day begins, easing a little into the afternoon, but gusty winds right across the uk, indicated by black arrows here. and across the northern half of the uk, it will feel chilly. but it's actually a touch milder further south. it may not feel too bad out of the wind and in some sunshine on what will be a largely dry afternoon. but look at this. on through saturday evening, cloud and rain pushing north across much of england and wales. a bit of some snow for snowdonia, maybe parts of the peak district. it will be chilly the further north you are, particularly

across scotland, where many of us will a frost as sunday begins. not so cold, though, to the south, where we keep this cloud and some outbreaks of rain. some of us will start sunday with this wet weather, and then another area of cloud, rain and hill snow pushing east during the day. this will linger into scotland where we'll see some further outbreaks of snow here in the hills — some significant accumulations are possible, but even some snow to lower levels at times on sunday. it's colder across the uk and the wind, if anything, on sunday will be a bit stronger as well. a little ridge of high pressure for monday, so it's quieter by then, but then another deep area of low pressure turn things wet and windy. monday night into tuesday, lingering into wednesday as well. so we may have a lull on monday, but it doesn't last very long, wet and windy again by tuesday. that's your forecast.
