5:06 pm
called up and what a chance! what a way to mark your hundredth league destiny. there was something goal. there is also this needless extraordinary about that boy, i still see him as a boy. he was immensely talented. very determined. foul after the break, allowing palace to come into the game. but he was his mother's son, he had all then this left foot curl, a piece of those talents and that can attitude. hejust those talents and that can attitude. he just loved being unmounted. art from anthony knockaert sealing a huge three points in the fight those talents and that can attitude. hejust loved being unmounted. he was at peace in the mountains. he is against relegation. albion fans will be dancing all the way down the m23. naturally at peace in the mountains, but his father i know would say is tragic as it is, too young to be go brighton now level on points with down that time from us, my goodness, palace after that win — he died doing what he loved to do. five points clear of the drop. things looking desparate tell us about the rescue operation now for huddersfield, that has been going on. was there any delay because of tensions in the they lost 2—0 at home to bournmouth. they're 13 points from safety with just eight games mountains between india and pakistan left to play this season. at that time? yes. i think we need manchester city play to find out more about what watford in the late kick off, the score is 0—0. celtic were held to a goal—less draw happened. took 48 hours to find by aberdeen in the scottish premiership this afternoon. good wins today too for livingston, help. there were delays because of mortherwell and hearts. those tensions between pakistan and

——motherwell and hearts. india, so the helicopters that might have been available were not as it's getting very, very exciting at the top of the championship. quickly as we would have liked. it leaders norwich won last night, then sheffield united went second by beating rotherham is not to say that tom and daniele in the day's early kick off. could have been saved, because were all we know they could have been but they didn't stay killed the baby lost contact with there for very long because leeds them, by each avalanche. but are back in second after beating bristol city by a goal to nil. certainly, it would have been much patrick ba mford with the only goal of the game. better to got a helicopter out there all the day's results are on the bbc within the first few hours. i'm sure sport website and app. after a four year boycott, lasting more than 200 games, we will find out more about that as thousands of blackpool fans have the story unfolds. when i first flocked back to bloomfield road today to mark the end of the controversial 0yston family's heard that he had gone missing, i involvment with the club. was stunned that he had faced such risks in light of losing his own 15,000 fans were readying mother. what is it that spurred him on, given the tragedy he had themslves to step back suffered so young himself?” on, given the tragedy he had suffered so young himself? i think that was part of his strengths. all into the ground at long last. singing. mountaineers are chosen by that need bearing in mind they've barely had 5,000 at home matches as part to, if not summit a mountain then find the most difficult way out. it of a mass protest at the way the club was being run. is about challenges. i think the
5:08 pm
loss of his mother invigorated him 0n the verge of the league one play and empowered him. i think that he offs, they drew 2—all with southend thanks to a last—minute equaliser. elsewhere today... knew he was not... there was always johanna konta is into the third round at indian wells — she beat taiwan's hsieh su—wei 6—0, 6—2. now ranked at world nuimber 45, she has been as high that danger that he was going to go as four in the rankings. the same way. but you cannot think about that, whether you are a starting to show some of the form mountaineer or a racing driver or that got her there. anything, anybody who is putting dan evans was playing, too. themselves at risk, you cannot think he had six break points in the final about that otherwise there is no point in doing it. there's no such set, but was beaten 6—3, in the decider by stan wawrinka. thing as a tenant mountaineer, evans is back in the world's top otherwise don't bother to be a 100, after a drugs ban. and there was a big win mountaineer. thank you very much for for newcastle falcons your time mountaineer. thank you very much for yourtime and your in the aviva premiership. mountaineer. thank you very much for your time and your thoughts. 0ur they beat wasps by 20 points to 19. best wishes to you and the whole it's the first time that the falcons have ever won at the ricoh arena family. the home secretary sajid and gives them real hope javid is facing fresh criticism after shamima begum's baby son died of avoiding relegation. and there was big controversy in a syrian refugee camp. at sandown today. after this photo finish in the 1.50, last month, he stripped miss begum of her british citizenship. the wrong winner was announced. it meant she was not allowed 0fficials gave the victory to 12 to return to the uk, where she was born and lived to 1 shot — one for rosie — untilfour years ago. when it was in fact third wind
5:09 pm
who was the winner. the shadow home secretary, it emerged that the photo was taken diane abbott, said the child from the wrong finish line. was "innocent" and described the government's decision it was later corrected as "callous and inhumane". but not before many bookies 0ur correspondent chi had already paid out. england's women have had a very chi izundu reports. good few days in india. babyjarrah, born in a camp used to hold isis fighters, they completed a whitewash in the three match twenty 20 their wives and children, international series thanks pictured with his mum, 19—year—old shamima begum, to a thrilling win less than three weeks old, in the final match. now dead from pneumonia and buried at the same camp. and it was all down more than 65,000 mostly women to the bowling of kate cross. india needed just three runs and children call this home. to win off her final over, but cross was brilliant — both a refuge and detention centre, taking two wickets forjust one run, those who chose to join isis to make sure that england held and are now fleeing the fighting have ended up here. on to win byjust one run. conditions at the camp mean little 0bviously, when you've got a low food and little warmth. total to defend you probably are either going to be a hero pretty last month, the home secretary, quickly or a villain pretty quickly. sajid javid, confirmed the boy was a british citizen and said it's nice to be on the better end of he had considered the child's that! but i think ijust knew that interest when deciding to revoke shamima begum's citizenship. i'd hit a hard month all games and criticism now at the uk government's in the previous games as well, that had been working quite successfully door that the life of that child for me. me and heather had had a few could have been saved. chats and thankfully we got it right it cannot be right that this mother was stripped of her citizenship, this time. thrilling finish, great when she was so vulnerable, story to be told. she herself groomed this week on the bbc, as a child and left britain, we've been hearing
5:10 pm
from our young reporters. where she had been radicalised. today it's the turn of salma. she plays for brentford women's fc, she was british until stripped and wants to inspire of her citizenship, which we think was completely the wrong approach. young girls like her, to get into sport. this is her story. when i was growing up, watching the tv and watching football games, i would never see anyone that was like me. but crucially, whatever i wanted to change that. you think about the behaviour i wanted to be that person. and choices of that mother, this is a newborn, the third child that this mother has lost. this child is clearlyjust one more i'm a 16—year—old black, innocent victim of war. labour's shadow home secretary, muslim female footballer. diane abbott, joined the criticism, calling the baby's death morally and ifelt like my story reprehensible and a stain on the conscience of this government. needed to be heard. but the conservative party chairman, if you ask anyone, what would brandon lewis, said on radio 4 this morning that the decision to keep you imagine a muslim girl doing, shamima begum out of the uk the last thing that they would say was in the national interest. is football or any sports in general. as somebody who has served in the home office, i can tell you factually the home secretary people kind of view will have made a decision based us in a specific way. on what he believes is the best it's like, 0k, you're a muslim girl, interest of the security you cover up and you should just of the people of the united kingdom. focus on your studies, the duty of the home secretary just keep your head down, keep a low in this country is to keep british profile and just do your own thing. every team i played for, people safe and he made a decision based on the advice he had or every school that i went to, there was never a muslim girl that about keeping british people safe. meanwhile, shamima's family played with me. are still fighting for her to be it was like i was the only one. allowed back into the uk.
5:11 pm
in bangladesh, just before it was revealed that her child had died, shamima's father, ahmed ali, begged for his daughter to be forgiven. "ninja, terrorist, you should be in the kitchen, you shouldn't be translation: shamima was a teenager. she has done wrong and as her "on the football pitch, sports isn't for you." father, i apologise to everyone in britain. it's quite funny to me, like, i would just walk away and laugh. but on days where i'm not in the mood, it would just be really annoying. i'm asking the british people to forgive her and take her back. it's a voice that you just keep in a statement, the government says the death of a child is tragic hearing of the back of your head. and deeply distressing it's... for the family, but gave no yeah. indication that there were any plans to even consider its stance on giving shamima begum back her british citizenship. chi chi izundu, bbc news. when i play football, ifeel free. i feel like every weight i've been speaking to the former foreign secretary david miliband — on my shoulder is lifted. who now leads the aid organisation, it's like, no matter how the international rescue committee many problems i have about why he thinks the british going on at the time, government should allow shamima begum to return to the uk. none of it matters when i'm playing. no one denies the dilemmas that are apparent in any one holding high but i would say to any young muslim office with a security angle. girl out there if that peoples
5:12 pm
——what i would say to any i haven't heard anyone suggest that she should young muslim girl out just be invited back, and that is the end of the story. there is that people's opinion should never have there is a significantjudicial power over you. process, there is a significant at the end of the day, if you feel like you want to do security process as well. something and you're passionate enough, you'll find a way. it's about who you are. and how strong you can be. but we cannot fall for the argument that — if we ignore people who have done wrong, then we render bre ntford brentford women's se‘s salma. ourselves safe. helping to inspire other young women we don't. we are living in a world to get into sport. where there are too many areas that and we all love have ungoverned space. a good celebration. we are living in a world where, we often see players jump although isis is being defeated the advertising hoardings militarily, it's not yet to get closer to the fans. well, this should serve being defeated ideologically. as a warning, because you never know how far that drop might be. isis sprang out of sunni that is brazilian striker anderson is communities in syria and iraq. who can attest to as he scored for consadole sapporo in japan. the territory that isis controlled, islamic state so—called it daesh he was ok. in arabic, the territory they controlled has been taken from them but the ideological and could carry on and even scored a couple more. wellsprings of what became a much that's all the sport for now. stronger movement than al-qaeda last plenty of sport still going
5:13 pm
20 or 30 years ago has on at the moment though — got to be addressed. england beating italy by 31—7 at twickenham, second half about to start. and manchester city playing that is why i'm putting it to you, watford in the premier league, it's still 0—0. on recognising that there follow it all on the are issues and dilemmas bbc sport website. in respective foreign fighters. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. but also making the point to you that unless we address the humanitarian development, political conditions, across syria and iran, for now that is all from me. then we are asking for difficulty if not trouble further down the line. from monday, bbc news just to give you a sense of how will be opening a pop—up newsroom in bradford, delicate the situation is, as part of a project to involve you've got the assad forces viewers and listeners in the stories we report. it's called ‘we are bradford' ? to the east of the kurdish area, and will bring a series of stories to the bbc that have been suggested you've got the kurds in the middle, by the residents of the city. you've got iraq on the eastern side... as part of the process to get these sorry you've got the assad ideas to your screen we recently asked a panel of bradford residents for their views ? at an event hosted forces on the west, by the bbc s kamal ahmed and sabbiyah pervez. iraqi on the east, the turks to the north and the trump administration threatening hi, i'm from bradford. to withdraw the 2000 american troops we feel like they're holding i'm from bradford. the reign at the moment. as a humanitarian organisation, it is ourjob to bear witness to what is happening on the ground. what is happening is that they are desperately vulnerable people, traumatised by living on the islamic state and daesh rule,
5:14 pm
who need the most basic support many people were in terms of shelter and health care. saying that they want stories from bradford, but also need specialist help, told by the people of bradford. given the degree of trauma and we sifted through those that they have had. stories and some of this is an urgent need, notjust them are going to be presented to you during the session. on moral grounds but i would argue now, we've put them under themes. but i would argue on strategic and stability grounds, too. one final thought. people will be concerned about humanitarian situation. at the same time, a lot of people feel that this girl should not be brought back, she is a security risk, she has made her own choice. it is a treasonous act, some might argue. she joined a group that is fighting the uk state and other western states, other international states. she should take responsibility for what she is doing. it is not the home secretary's responsibility or any responsibility further of the british government. i would go further. i would say it is notjust a matter of using the rhetoric of saying that she should take responsibility. if she has committed crimes, she should be held accountable for them. the so—called invitation to come back — the idea that she should come back — she should come back to face justice.
5:15 pm
if she is a security risk, she should face proper security curtailment and ensuring that the rest of the population is safe. but the worst thing, given the horror that has been created by isis across the middle east and more broadly over the last few years, is to pretend that this problem is just going to go away if we wash our hands of it. i think that what we have learned over the last 15 or 20 years is that it is one thing to try and ignore trouble, but if you do trouble will come to you. i think it is important for a system like ours to ensure that it takes responsibility for its own citizens. especially those who have been groomed into radicalisation in our own country. david miliband of the international rescue committee. a man has appeared in 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

a second man also remains in custody, on suspicion ofjodie's murder. that was jane—francis kelly. a 15—year—old boy has been charged with the murder of a teenager who was fatally stabbed in west london. ayub hassan, aged 17, was found with wounds to his chest in west kensington on thursday afternoon. he died later in hospital. the supermarket chain, asda, has said it will remove all single kitchen knives from sale because of concern over the use of knives in violent atacks. 41 people have been fatally stabbed so far this year — and asda says the most frequently stolen knives are the single ones. the company says it has a responsibilty to try to help in the work to bring violent crime under control. the headlines on bbc news... the bodies of british climber tom ballard and his italian partner have been found in pakistan — two weeks after they last made contact. the home secretary, sajid javid, is facing criticism for revoking the citizenship of shamima begum, whose baby son died in a camp in syria. a man has been remanded in custody charged with the murder ofjodie chesney in east london earlier this month. this week crucial votes are due on brexit, with the current deadline now just three weeks away.
5:18 pm
but both the government and the eu are still struggling to agree on changes to the prime minister's brexit deal, because of mps' objections to the irish backstop. the government has rejected yesterday's suggestion by the eu's chief negotiator, michel barnier, that britain would be free to pull out of the proposed single customs territory, designed to avoid physical checks on the irish border as long as northern ireland remained within it. let's take a closer look at events in the commons this week. on tuesday, mps are due to vote for a second time on theresa may's withdrawal agreement — including any changes she has agreed with the eu. if they reject the deal again, mps have been promised a further vote on wednesday, on whether they support leaving the eu without a deal. and if that fails, then mps have been promised another vote on thursday, on requesting an extension to the two—year article 50 process, thereby delaying brexit beyond the 29th of march. earlier i spoke to henry newman, the director
5:19 pm
of open europe, a think tank working on britain s relationship with the eu and the world. he's also former government adviser to ministers including michael gove. i started by asking him what he made of michel barnier‘s comments yesterday. yesterday i think what we saw was a misstep from brussels. we are used to the government being clumsy and mishandling its presentation but i thought brussels misstepped because in their announcement they said an exchange of letters, commitments had been made by donald tusk and jean—claude juncker in january, they had made commitments to the uk about how the backstop would work and these were rejected by people who said they were not legally binding enough and the eu said, we will make those commitments legally binding — that was a significant move but that got overshadowed by an announcement that they would offer to get rid of the uk—wide bits of the backstop if you went back to the northern ireland bits and without getting
5:20 pm
confused in the details, we've been discussing this for months and it was rejected a year ago by the prime minister who said we would never accept a customs border down the irish sea. every mp in parliament agrees with that, there was a division last summer and all mps opposed this border so it is a total nonstarter and i don't understand why brussels have reintroduced it. they're trying to show that they're being flexible. the government cannot even negotiate within its own side, we are days away from theresa may potentially losing a vote again. i think she is likely to lose the vote again because she hasn't been able to persuade enough labour mps, 80% of parliament voted for article 50 including labour mps. you are not blaming the labour party? both sides have a responsibility. the policy was brought
5:21 pm
about by the conservative party. labour voted to trigger article 50, they didn't have to vote that way, they could have said... most labour members and momentum members do not want this form of brexit. we had a tantric dance from jeremy corbyn towards the referendum. we still haven't got a clear policy from labour but they voted for article 50 two years ago, coming up to the deadline now, what do they expect will happen? article 50 set in train a process where we would leave the eu with or without a deal. people will find it farcical for you to say this is the labour party's problem because the conservatives cannot agree a line amongst themselves and we saw from philip hammond today, he set aside additional money for a no deal exit which isjust three weeks away and if conservative mps come around to the government's deal, that money will be available
5:22 pm
for public services but doesn't that seem like a threat? i don't think it is a threat. it's a statement of fact that if we manage to move on from this impasse, which is paralysing the country, he's right to say there will be some money to loosen up public spending but i'm not trying to blame labour, i'm just saying parliamentarians on both sides who oppose the deal are pursuing different fantasy versions, that applies to conservative eurosceptics but also to every labour mp who voted for article 50. this is the deal. there is no other deal, you might be able to tweak it but there are three choices, stop brexit, leave with no deal or leave with a version of the deal. two climbers have been rescued following an avalanche in the scottish highlands. the pair were climbing on part of the three sisters ridges in glencoe — and had been missing since yesterday.

both men were suffering from hypothermia when they were found — and one has been taken to hospital by helicopter. 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 sanumdong, just outside of pyongyang. it's where north korea make most of its intercontinental ballistic missiles and most of its rockets for satellite launches. the activity is large trucks which they've 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, called sohae, is now fully operational. work stopped there last year but now seems to have been started again, in fact, it seems to have been rebuilt at a rapid pace. now, all eyes will now be on that site. it seems that trucks have now left sanumdong and all eyes will now be on sohae to see if something arrives there for launch. it is unlikely, i'm told by analysts, at this stage that it may be a missile. they believe it's more likely to be a satellite. but that would still breach the agreement reached between donald trump and kim jong—un according to the us state department spokesman who gave a briefing this week. they would see that as a violation, even if it's a satellite launch. so this is a tense time and it's one of those times where both kimjong—un and donald trump have

difficult decisions to make. if they want a satellite in north korea, it could break all agreements and cause a breakdown of the talks between the us and north korea. the us may turn a blind eye and just say it's a satellite, or they may also say that this is a breach of the trust reached between donald trump and kimjong—un. so at a tense time when everyone is wondering exactly what is going on, i think the best thing we can do is keep an eye on the situation. nearly 90 ferry passengers have been injured injapan when the high speed boat they were travelling on collided with an object in the water — thought to be a whale. the japanese coast guard said five people were seriously injured in the accident which occurred just before the ferry was due to arrive on sado island, following a short trip from the mainland. it is believed the boat collided with a whale, as both humpbacks and minkes are often found in the area.

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. more than 200 works of art
