this is bbc news. i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 10. the home secretary, sajid javid, is facing criticism after the death of the baby son of shamima begum — the british teenager whose citizenship he revoked forjoining the islamic state group. a man is due to appear in court charged with the murder of 17—year—old jodie chesney, who was stabbed to death in a park in east london last friday. the brexit secretary stephen barclay accuses michel barnier of trying "to rerun old arguments" as talks continue between the uk and eu. also coming up this hour... increased activity at a missile site in north korea. satellite images of a facility near pyongyang suggest the country may be preparing to launch a missile

or a satellite. good morning. welcome. the baby son of shamima begum, the british teenager who joined the islamic state group, has died in syria. the boy, who was less than three weeks old, is thought to have contracted a lung infection. his mother travelled to syria as a 15—year—old in 2015. the home office had recently taken the decision to strip her of her british citizenship. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford has this report. when the bbc first interviewed shamima begum two and a half weeks ago, she'd just given birth to a baby boy, jarrah. 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. losing 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 roj camp where she's living and the local military forces, the sdf, have confirmed to the bbc that her baby died on thursday 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. shamima begum's family 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 two—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,

renu, an official wrote... but then the official wrote that... it was a point sajid javid reinforced yesterday, 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 is no way that anyone can be helped in any way, including innocent children. this is why it's so dangerous. labour has 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 middle east correspondent, quentin sommerville, is in northern syria. he met with shamima begum not long after she'd given birth to her son, named jarrah.

quentin told us a little earlier about the conditions shamima is living in. the circumstances that people are being held, whether they're victims of is or supporters of is here in northern syria are pretty grim. when i metjarrah, who wasjust a few days old, he was in good health and i asked shamima begum how her baby was doing. she said he was doing well at that time. but it's very cold here, the camps don't have enough blankets, they don't have enough tents and there isn't enough food in some cases. and the people there are struggling and they're angry, and it's a dangerous situation as well, it's still a stressful situation. so jarrah was in good health then but he deteriorated, and yesterday we heard that him and his mother had been taken under armed escort to hospital and he died shortly after lunchtime. the cause of death was listed as pneumonia. it's worth remembering that in the long, miserable

story of islamic state, the suffering is not yet over. people who are trapped inside or stayed inside with the islamic state till the very end were starving, many of those who left suffered from malnutrition. more than 100 people have died leaving that last is stronghold. and now in the camps, just in the last few days in the camps, we've seen 16,000 people arrive. it's a huge number, far more is supporters than everybody realised. the bombardment was very difficult for them, that intense fighting, the circumstances were awful. and as a result, an increasing number of people have fallen ill and in some cases, as with jarrah, have died. speaking to radio 4, the former labour foreign secretary, david miliband, who now leads the aid organisation, the international rescue committee, says there is a desperate need for aid and shelter at the refugee camp. it's distressing when any child, never mind a three—week—old child, dies in the most appalling circumstances in the middle

of a displacement camp, in the middle of a war zone. tragically, we know that about 100 people have died over the past three months, the majority of them children, two thirds of them under the age of five. and this is not an isolated incident, because the modern face of war is precisely what we are seeing in the endgame in syria. so what should happen, do you think, to try to improve conditions in these camps? there is a short—term emergency. we need 5000 more tents forfamilies because, as incredible as it can sound, 12,000 people have arrived in the al—hol displacement camp, which is in the kurdish—controlled area of north—eastern syria. those are people who have spent three or four years under isis rule. they have been living under the so—called caliphate. they are genuinely traumatised, as well as deeply malnourished.

and they are arriving in very large numbers as the last days of isis rule in baghuz. shamima begum arrived in the camp from the village of baghuz, where the last remnants of is are clinging on to a tiny patch of territory. there has been a big increase in the number of women and children turning up at the camps in the last 48 hours asjon ironmonger reports. for families of the caliphate, this now overwhelmed camp in eastern syria is both a refuge and detention centre. more than 12,000, mostly women and children, arrived over the past three days, after fleeing the tiny enclave in baghuz still under isis control. the population of the camp has reached 65,000. it's very miserable, this official says, the displaced are growing in huge numbers and we are trying to meet peoples needs, but need help. but while the wives of isis fighters

may be failing to arouse international sympathy, it's the children who are suffering. many of the women either heavily pregnant, or have recently given birth. at least 60 babies and infants under five years old have died since december, making the journey to al—hol, or soon after arriving. hypothermia has become a major problem, with low temperatures overnight. aid workers say funding is urgently needed to supply a further 5000 tents, as well as food and medicine. the health of these arrivals is incredibly poor. over the last few days alone, we have seen hundreds of cases of severe acute malnutrition. and, unfortunately, we are also seeing an awful lot of children and infants dying. many foreign women remain outwardly aligned to isis and have been fenced off by the syrian kurdish authorities who control the camp to avoid clashes with locals who were forced live under the caliphate. so far, britain, france and germany have taken a hard line with their citizens,

citing the risks of repatriating them. but the apparent ease with whichjournalists have made the trip to al—hol and a sharper focus on the plight of young children there, could make that position harder to defend. jon ironmonger, bbc news. a man has arrived at court, charged with the murder of 17—year—old jodie chesney. jodie was stabbed in a park in east london last friday. 20—year—old manuel petrovic was arrested in leicester on tuesday. another man, who was also arrested, remains in custody. a 15—year—old boy has been charged with the murder of a teenager who was stabbed to death in west london. ayub hassan, aged 17, was found with stab wounds to the chest in lanfrey place, west kensington, on thursday and died in hospital. scotland yard said the 15—year—old boy was due to appear at westminster magistrates‘ court later. we're just weeks away from the uk's departure from the eu,

but both sides are still struggling to agree on changes to the prime minister's brexit deal, because of mps‘ objections to the irish backstop. yesterday, the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, said the uk would be free to pull out of the proposed single customs territory, designed to avoid physical checks on the irish border. but the government has rejected this, because northern ireland would have to remain within it. our political correspondent matt cole is here. it sounds as if the negotiations this week have not made any progress andindeed this week have not made any progress and indeed the two sides seem as far apart as ever on what is acceptable to the eu and what is acceptable to parliament. i think you summed it up beautifully and what is more, i get the sense that things have not moved on in the last months, never mind this week alone. the sticking point revolves around the crucial aspect of what you do to keep northern ireland border open with the republic in the event there is no

trade deal and the shutters go down and barriers go up. no one wants this hardboard and barriers go up. no one wants this ha rdboa rd as and barriers go up. no one wants this hardboard as they call it between northern ireland. brexiteers rejected theresa may's big deal a month ago by record amount, 230 vote majority margin. that sticking point was largely about brexiteers and the dup not wanting this backstop, insurance policy that they saw would keep britain in a custom union with the eu to make sure goods could keep going, until they found another trade deal. they still have not found an alternative to that. last night, michel barnier in tweets, the chief negotiator said what we could do is allow the uk to leave unilaterally, you are not trapped in it, but you have to leave northern ireland in it, which is what was renegotiated before christmas when they deal got done in the first place so we have gone back to the

future, either way, we have not had a lot of progress. we understand talks could continue this weekend. there are talks going on in brussels but not between the big politicians, the foot soldiers are doing it behind—the—scenes. but to what end is hard to see what they can produce before the big vote in the commons on tuesday. brexit secretary stephen barclay suggested the british government had made a fresh offer to the european commission. do we have any idea what the fresh offer has taken? we have had a series of requests about trying to find a way that would allow britain to leave this customs union unilaterally, so the brexiteers fear being locked into it. there has been discussion ofan into it. there has been discussion of an arbitration system and language being put into it not the withdrawal agreement because the eu said that is lockdown, but the political declaration that runs

alongside it which has set out broadly potential visions for a future relationship once we have left. the withdrawal agreement is about leaving, the declaration is what happens next so they could toughen up the language and there. but the problem is, people say if there is an arbitration system it could take years. again, brexiteers would say we might not win the arbitration system and it could take forever so it is as good as being trapped in. so offers of beefing it up trapped in. so offers of beefing it up on the eu side but broadly speaking we come back to the same sticking point that the prime minister yesterday saying i need one more push from the eu and the eu saying you better come up with what needs to be done to put this right. it is almost like you will not finish it, you will not finish it, so we are finish it, you will not finish it, so we are not getting far ahead of what is a big week in british politics. the big vote on tuesday on whatever deal there is or is not, if

thatis whatever deal there is or is not, if that is rejected, on wednesday there isa that is rejected, on wednesday there is a vote on whether we should have a no—deal brexit and if that is rejected on thursday another vote about delaying article 50 for an indeterminate amount of time because u nless indeterminate amount of time because unless they lock in what they could be, laboursaid unless they lock in what they could be, labour said they would not support it being delayed more than a few months. nobody wants to keep it going long enough when we hit the european parliamentary elections because some would say it looks like another referendum. and we would have meps elected and they are supposed to be leaving brussels this spring. when we hit the european elections, britain will not be standing, even though we could technically be in if we extend. that parliament will not actually sit untiljuly. if you get tojuly and britain is not out, any british citizen could go to the courts and say i want to exercise my right as an eu citizen to have an mep and then we are in trouble and pain and

at that point you are looking at the risk of a european parliamentary elections that would that some would consider as a de facto referendum. the european parliament has to sign off this deal and one begins to wonder if we delay and they are not sitting, in practical terms how would it work? there are practical issues as well as the political that may be taken resolving. as we've been saying — there are just four days to go until parliament takes part in a series of crucial brexit votes, yet how and when britain will leave the eu remains uncertain. and many key questions, for instance, on border checks and tariffs, remain unanswered. our business editor simonjack has been speaking to small business owners in north wales to find out about the challenges they face. this tranquillity seems a long way from the brexit war of words, but it's the deafening silence from westminster that is bothering small businesses like seiont nurseries and its manager neil alcock, who counts on frictionless borders,

and he wants answers. it takes two days to ship these to holland, any delays at the port will extend that. we could have deaths of plants on the trolleys, because it's a living product after all. so basically, we need answers, we need something sorted as soon as possible, so we can plan our business for this year and next year and beyond. so a three—month delay doesn't really necessarily mean that much? no, it buys a bit of time. but it doesn't answer the big questions? no, no, not at all. so these are corydlines. a plant like this starts life in china, it's flown into the netherlands, shipped within 48 hours to the uk, grown here, under eu licence, then shipped back to the eu. now, whether there's a delay to brexit or not, some big questions like what licences will i need, how long will the transport take, what checks will be involved, what tariffs will i have to pay? those questions are still unanswered — crucial ones to businesses like this. two minutes down the road, the owner of this nursery for rare plants said her european customers have been rushing to place orders ahead of the march deadline.

well, 60% of our business is in europe and we supply a lot of the big botanic gardens, research and private customers as well, but since december, it's probably up to 95% because people are panicking, they want their plants before the 29th of march. so what impact is this uncertainty having on the business? well, i'm hoping we can ride the storm, but i mean it could close us, i don't know. hopefully, we'll pick up extra business in this company. business in this country. i mean, we do have a big following in this country as well, but it's the unknown, i mean it's the unknown for my staff too. they're just such worrying times. so the political landscape may have changed, a brexit delay is possible, some would say even likely, but, on the ground, the questions facing businesses have not fundamentally changed. what is it i'm planning for, a deal or no deal?

and that uncertainty hasn't gone away. businesses are incredibly frustrated at government and at parliament, they don't see where the consensus is, they don't see where the agreement is, and they don't know how to plan and organise themselves. all this time, politicians are out chasing different ideas, refusing to lead, refusing to come up with a compromise, and businesses just don't know what to do. as we count down the days till brexit, it's still unclear whether we get deal, no deal, a delay of unknown length and uncertain outcome — and those future doubts are stunting business growth now. simon jack, bbc news, gwynedd, north wales. the headlines on bbc news... the family of shamima begum have called for an urgent review of the government's decision to revoke her citizenship, after her baby son died in syria. of 17—year—old jodie chesney, who was stabbed to death in a park in east london last friday. the brexit secretary stephen barclay accuses michel barnier of trying "to rerun old arguments" as talks

us analysts have reported activity at a military site in north korea. commercial satellite images of a facility near the north korean capital, pyongyang, suggest there are preparations to launch a missile or a satellite. a summit between the north korean leader, kim jong—un, and president trump to discuss pyongyang‘s nuclear weapons ended last week without agreement. the bbc‘s correspondent in seoul, laura bicker, has been explaining what had raised analysts suspicions. the latest activity is at a site known as sanum dong, just outside pyongyang. it is where north korea makes most of its intercontinental ballistic missiles and most of its rockets for satellite launches. the activity is large trucks, which they have seen going in and out. doesn‘t sound like much, but it is activity that many believe is consistent with that of preparing for either a missile or a rocket launch. this goes in conjunction with the satellite images which suggest their main rocket launch site is now fully operational.

work stopped last year but now seems to have been started again and in fact it seems to have been rebuilt at a rapid pace. all eyes will now be on that site. it seems that trucks have now left sanum dong, and a train. all eyes will now be on the main rocket launch site to see if it arrives there for launch. it is unlikely i‘m told by analysts at this stage that it may be a missile. they believe it is more likely to be a satellite. but that would still breach the agreement reached between donald trump and kimjong—un, according to the us state department spokesman who gave a briefing this week. they would see that as a violation, even if it is a satellite launch. so this is a tense time and one of those times where both kimjong—un and donald trump have difficult decisions to make. if they launch a satellite in north korea it could break all agreements and cause a breakdown of the talks between the united states and north korea.

the united states may turn a blind eye and just say it is a satellite, or they may also say that this is a breach of the trust reached between donald trump and kimjong—un. so it is a tense time and everyone is wondering exactly what is going on. i think the best thing we can do is keep an eye on the situation. laura in the south korean capital. let‘s take at look at some of today‘s other stories on bbc news. research by the bbc has found only one in ten of the nurses working within the nhs in england are men. figures suggest that last year there were just over 36,000 male nurses compared to more than 285,000 women. the department of health said it had seen a nine per cent increase in men applying for courses in the past 12 months. america‘s commercial astronaut capsule, the space—x dragon, has successfully completed its six—day test mission into space. the craft, which had a robot on board, re—entered the earth‘s atmosphere and touched down in the atlantic ocean. the us space agency nasa says that for the first time in eight years it

could now consider sending astronauts back into orbit. more than 200 items from george michael‘s personal art collection are to be auctioned this week in london. the singer — who died in december 2016 — built up his collection by visiting galleries and artists‘ studios. any money made will go to charity. and events to mark barbie‘s 60th birthday are taking place around the world. the doll will make an appearance at a number of locations, including a barbie pop—up experience in new york. the toy‘s manufacturer — mattel — describe her as "the number one fashion doll" designed to inspire girls. internet users should have greater control over personal data to ensure their own safety online. it‘s part of a proposal to change the way big tech companies are regulated. it follows a report from the house of lords communications committee that says companies are failing

to regulate themselves effectively. our business correspondent rob young has more. molly russell was 1a years old when she took her own life in 2017. she had viewed graphic images about self harm online. molly‘s father has said he believes social media was partly to blame for her death. there have been growing concerns about content and behaviour online, and calls for companies to do more. i think that lots of people feel powerless in this situation, but of course we can act. we are a nation state, parliament is sovereign, as we are discovering in the brexit process. we can legislate if we need to. it would be far better to do it in concert with social media companies, but if we think they need to do things that they are refusing to do, then we can and we must legislate. the house of lords communications committee says the industry‘s response has been piecemeal and inadequate, so the committee is calling for big tech to be reined in.

there are more than a dozen uk regulators covering the digital world, but no one body has complete oversight, so the boards oversight, so the lords recommend the creation of a new digital authority. it also wants protections given to people in the real world to apply online. one key principle for regulation would be respect for privacy, to keep our growing volume of online data safe. there‘s also a call for a classification framework, similar to that for films. the government is currently working on its own plans to more strictly regulate web companies. internet firms say they work hard to keep their services free of some of the most serious issues people are concerned about, but they say they recognise that more needs to be done to address potential online harms. rob young, bbc news. the world‘s oldest living woman has been recognised by guinness world records. she is 116—year old japanese woman,
