steve ? steve? almost certainly not. there is little evidence of much change at all. she will get a rewording of a somewhat limited significance, in relation to the issue of the so—called backstop, this is the hello, good morning and welcome to bbc news. insurance policy which is in the uk the baby son of shamima begum, leaves the eu, it remains committed the british teenager who joined the islamic state group, to 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 herfood 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 a 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 the islamic state, the suffering isn't yet over. people who are trapped inside or stayed inside with the islamic state till the very end were starving. many of those who were 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, but 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. that was quentin sommerville. we'll bring you more on this story a little later in the programme, when we talk to kirsty mcneil from the charity, save the children. a man has appeared in court after being 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. our correspondent jane—frances kelly gave us an update from outside court.

well, manuel petrovic appeared before magistrates. he confirmed his name, his age, which is 20, his address, which is highfield road in romford. and he is charged with the murder ofjodie chesney, who died on the ist of march. she was stabbed in a park while listening to music with friends. police say that she died about an hour later. a postmortem has revealed the cause of death to be trauma and haemorrhage. mr petrovic, who confirmed that he is a croatian national, is to appear at the old bailey on the 11th of march. a second man also remains in custody, on suspicion ofjodie's murder. that was jane francis kelly.

that was jane—francis kelly. 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. a little earlier i spoke to our political correspondent matt cole, and i asked him what could break the deadlock. the sticking point still revolves around this crucial aspect of what do you do to keep northern ireland border opened with the republic, in the event that, further down the line, there is no trade deal and all the shutters go down, the barriers go up? something that no one wants — this hard border, as they call it,

between northern ireland. now, brexiteers rejected theresa may's big deal about a month ago now, by a record, about 230, vote majority margin. that sticking point was largely about brexiteers and the dup not wanting this backstop, this insurance policy, which they saw would keep britain in a customs union, and northern ireland with the eu, to make sure those goods could keep going, until they found another trade deal. they still haven't found an alternative solution to that. last night, michel barnier, in a series of tweets, the chief negotiator of the eu, saying, "what we could do, we could allow the uk to leave unilaterally, you're not trapped in it." but, you would have to leave northern ireland in it. we have gone back to the future, what they were saying before the deal got done. either way, what they were saying before the deal got done. eitherway, not what they were saying before the deal got done. either way, not a lot of progress. we understand the

intensive talks with michel barnier could continue this weekend, but not the between the big politicians, the foot soldiers doing it behind the scenes. but to what end? given we are at such an impasse it is hard to see what they can produce before the big vote in the commons on tuesday. stephen barclay the brexit secretary was suggesting the uk government had already made a fresh offer to the eu commissioner. do you have any idea what form that 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 brexiteers fear being locked into it. there have been discussions about whether there could be an arbitration system, and language being put into not the withdrawal agreement because the eu says that is locked down, but the eu says that is locked down, but the political declaration running alongside it, which is what has been in broad brush strokes setting out potential visions for a future relationship once we have left. the

withdrawal agreement is about leaving, the political declaration is about what happens next. they could toughen up the language there. but people have looked and said, if there is an arbitration system in britain says we want to leave and the eu says no, how long would that take? and they might say, we may not win and it could take forever, well thenit win and it could take forever, well then it is as good as being trapped m, then it is as good as being trapped in, brexiteers could say. broadly speaking, we are still coming back to the same sticking point that the uk and the prime minister yesterday, saying they need one more push from the eu, and the eu is effectively saying since the ones who want to leave you need to come up with an idea to make this right. everybody not so much pointing the finger and saying, you started it, it is more, you won't finish it, you won't finish it! not getting so far ahead of what is a very big week for british politics. that was our political correspondent, matt cole.

for the second time this week, 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.

all 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. that was laura bicker. 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. he has consistently denied the charges. the former star of the tv show empire has been indicted by a grand jury in chicago. 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 9% increase in men applying for courses in the past 12 months. america's commercial astronaut capsule, the spacex 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. more now on our top story — the home secretary, sajid javid, is facing criticism after the death of the baby of shamima begum. the teenagerfrom london had her citizenship revoked by mrjavid after she joined the islamic state group. the boy, named jarrah,

was less than three weeks old when he died, it is believed of pneumonia, in syria. kirsty mcneill from the charity, save the children and she joins me now from central london. thanks forjoining us. what you make of this case? yell at a truly tragic. a baby boy who died, could have been here in safety and u nfortu nately have been here in safety and unfortunately he has been terribly let down —— it is truly tragic. unfortunately he has been terribly let down -- it is truly tragic. you say he could have been here. the home secretary said yesterday there hasn't been consular access in syria since the war began, pretty much, that it since the war began, pretty much, thatitis since the war began, pretty much, that it is not a safe place for example where british officials could go and be involved in any attempt to bring the baby out, and that therefore there wasn't really anything the government could have done. british journalists have been able to get into the camp and of course it is serviced by aid workers. it is not upset a humanitarian aid group like save the children to comment on what kind of

private diplomacy might have been able to get the mother and child out but it is clear the decision to strip the mother of citizenship was taken considering the best interests of the child. the third child lost to this particular mother and against a backdrop where 84 people have died on their way to or arriving at this camp, two thirds of which are little children under five yea rs which are little children under five years old. just on the scale of the pressure that is now on that refugee camp, because of the larger numbers of people coming into it, some of them of course will have been fighters with the group calling itself islamic state, and others will have been girls and women who we re will have been girls and women who were married or living with those men. what sort of pressure is that putting on? what is the ability to supply food, shelter, warmth, for that large number of people. our understanding is that over 90% of the people in this camp are women and children. there are about 54,000 people they are in freezing temperatures so a lot of the people who have died have died of hypothermia or because they haven't

had enough food. this particular little boy, not even three weeks old, died of pneumonia. if you wonder how a child dies of pneumonia, they essentially die of exhaustion because they little body gives up fighting because it is so ha rd to gives up fighting because it is so hard to breathe. these are no places for children and certainly no places for children and certainly no places for newborns. i'm sure everyone would agree with what you are saying destination. i suppose the practical difficulty in the case of shamima begum, this is a woman who had voluntarily begum, this is a woman who had volu nta rily left begum, this is a woman who had voluntarily left this country to live in another country to be involved in a conflict situation. is not something where it can be the obligation you think on politicians and officials in this country to do something about? well, the best interests of her children, regardless of how we feel about the parent, the best interests of the children come first. but it is worth remembering in the specific case she was 15 when she left, a child herself. someone who has been radicalised in britain remains britain's responsibility and we all have questions to answer about how that could have happened in our

country and what obligations we owe not just to country and what obligations we owe notjust to her but crucially to her little ones now. i might use a 90% of those coming into the camp are women. “ you of those coming into the camp are women. -- you say that 9096 of those coming in. presumably many of them will be british and many will have had children since they were out there since that is sort of part of there since that is sort of part of the package, as it were, of going to live with the group that calls itself islamic state. what then happens to those children? clearly they haven't had the spotlight or attention that shamima begum's case has had. do they have legal status as british citizens if their mothers where british? we found about 2500 children in the camp that are the children in the camp that are the children of foreign nationals, not of course just britain but different countries. 2500 children who are born to mothers who were not originally from syria but came to syria. exactly. 2500 children born to mothers who are owed an

obligation from their own states. we can't keep passing this problem around. if you are a citizen of a country remain that country's responsibility. but we also found 50 children completely unaccompanied without anyone to look after them and they are of course not in the spotlight but they are the number one concern of save the children. ki rsty one concern of save the children. kirsty mcneill from the charity, thank you very much for being with us thank you very much for being with us today. 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 which says companies are failing to regulate themselves effectively. our business correspondent rob young has more. molly russell was 14 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 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 the 116—year old japanese woman, kane tanaka, who was born and lives on the southern island of kyushu. she's in a nursing home, where staff organised a party to celebrate the recognition. tanka says the secret to her long life are family, sleep and her shinto faith. still in good health, her hobbies include board games and calligraphy, but she also confesses to a weakness for sweets and canned coffee drinks. i don't know why they put that story just before the start, but, mike

bushell, a few tips for living long and successfully? i certainly don't get enough sleep but i like board games! anyway, good morning. they've swept all before them for 12 matches running, but today wales come up against a scotland side, who can be a force to reckoned with at home. having said that, if the welsh head coach warren gatland can keep up his own unblemished record against the scots, his side will be one step away from the six nations grand slam. joe wilson is at murrayfield for us. this has to come to an end at some point, this winning streak. will it be scotland ? point, this winning streak. will it be scotland? i think scotland need to believe they can do it, and in a broader sense the six nations really need a competitive scottish team especially at home. you mention the weather. bright and breezy start to the day in edinburgh. we might get rain later. if not, i think it will help scotland. if they can keep the ball in hand, keep it quick, keep their skill. finn russell,

ball in hand, keep it quick, keep theirskill. finn russell, may ball in hand, keep it quick, keep their skill. finn russell, may be their skill. finn russell, may be the most skilful player in the whole of european rugby. ali price starts for scotland at scrum half who can perhaps inject a bit of dynamism into things, and then maybe we will see some of the scottish player we have seen a lot of over recent years —— some of the scottish flair. enthusiasm coming back into scottish by. enthusiasm coming back into scottish rugby. having said all that, we know that wales over those consecutive victories have this way of winning matches, they have the confidence, the discipline and the strength and organisation but we have been talking a lot about what this game means to wales with a grand slam possibility in the world cup year. i think we need to be clear this game means a lot to scottish rugby as well. right now they could really do with what i would term the oxygen of a big victory. joe, you should get in that scottish dressing room, a motivational team talk they are, from our very motivational team talk they are, from oui’ very own motivational team talk they are, from our very ownjoe wilson! fantastic from our very ownjoe wilson! fa ntastic stuff. from our very ownjoe wilson! fantastic stuff. we will see you a little later.

scotland v wales coverage on bbc 1 from 13.15 with kick—off at 14.15, and live commentary on radio 5live of england v italy from 16.45. england women beat india by one run in their third and final t20 international. england started well, reaching 50 without a wicket, but lost five quick wickets including natalie sciver out for a duck following danielle wyatt's dismissal that started the collapse, finishing 119—6. india needed three runs in six balls but kate cross got 2 wickets in the last over to give england the win. when you have a low total to defend you are probably going to be a villain or hero pretty quickly. nice to be on the right side of that. but i had been hitting a hard lens all

game and that had been working quite successfully for me, the previous two games. me and heather had a chat, and hopefully got it right this time —— thankfully we got it right this time. manchester city can go four points clear at the top of the premier league table with a win over watford. second—placed liverpool play burnley tomorrow. city boss pep guardiola says the match is vital for their chances of retaining the title. it is the last game before 21 days without the premier league, before the international break, and of course everything is close in terms ofa course everything is close in terms of a few games until the end of the premier league, and of course at home it is massive for us to take oui’ home it is massive for us to take our points. onto tennis... yohanna konta, is through to the third round, at indian wells

after an impressive win over shay sue way, of taiwan. konta won 6—0, 6—2, showing signs perhaps that the wobbles at the start of the season are behind her, as she looks to climb up the women's rankings. dan evans was playing too. he had six break points in the final set, but was beaten 6—3, in the decider by stan wawrinka. evans is back in the world's top 100, after a drugs ban. that's all the sport for now. time for the weather with helen willetts. a windy and for some wintry start to the weekend and more snow in the forecast. we are watching developments out in the atlantic. one from the south, one from the west, and if theyjoin forces the low pressure could become quite potent force in windy weather but also some significant snow. that is true tonight and into tomorrow. it is windy enough has been through this morning as well, gust whiteley 40-50 this morning as well, gust whiteley 40—50 mph, making it feel cold, but sunshine as well —— gusts widely 45 and 50. weather front crossing from

orkney and shetland. one gathering in the south—west. in between, sunny spells and showers. sharon is most prevalent in the north and west, falling as hail, sleet and snow —— showers most prevalent. winds will tend to ease a little this afternoon but temperatures across scotland and northern ireland will be below average for the time of year. further south, with more sunshine, the wind is easing, temperatures getting a little higher than average and it will feel quite pleasant, many places having a lot of dry weather and very few showers. however, overnight the rain gathers in the south and west. that wetter weather pumping into the cold air, so sam hill snow certainly across wales, northern england and the midlands, —— some hill snow. temperatures widely below freezing. when that weather system comes in and joins forces with the one from the south we will see significant

snowfall through tomorrow morning especially for scotland but in parts of northern ireland as well. as i mentioned the potential for it to become very windy. colder air tomorrow and with snow showers following thick and fast and that potentially very windy weather it will feel a lot colder. more showers and fair weather cloud in the south, if anything. one or two showers as well. very different feeling day. brief respite on monday before the next low pressure system winds itself off the atlantic, which could potentially become a storm with gales or severe gale force winds. the warnings, as ever, are on the website.
