and talking movies celebrates its twentieth anniversary. in a special edition of the show, actor—director kenneth bra nagh discusses the changes that have taken place in the film industry over the past two decades. good evening. rescuers have found the bodies of the missing british mountaineer, tom ballard, and his italian climbing companion, daniele nardi, in pakistan. contact was lost with the pair almost two weeks ago — during an ascent of one of the world's highest mountains — nanga parbut, in the himalayas. mr ballard is the son of alison hargreaves, who died whilst descending k2

in 1995, the same year she became the first woman to conquer everest, unaided. sarah campbell reports. tom ballard was among the world's best and most fearless climbers. he specialised in taking on the most dangerous ascents in winter. joining him on what would be his final challenge — italian climber daniele nardi. they had waited weeks for a weather window before setting off to climb nunga parbut, also known as killer mountain. an international search was launched after contact was lost, with the pair two thirds of the way up a particularly treacherous route. almost two weeks after they went missing came news that their bodies had been spotted. tom, as a youngster, looking for a reassuring cuddle from his mum, alison hargreaves. in 1995, she became a first wanting to climb everest woman to climb everest

without oxygen or assistance. when we go climbing, we obviously minimise the risks. and if we thought it was that risky, we wouldn't go climbing. anybody who went off thinking that it was a very high chance they wouldn't come back, i think it's very unfair thing to do, especially with a young family. that same year, she died. while descending from the summit at k2, the world's the second highest peak. fellow climbers, friends and family are now having to come to terms with tom's death at the age ofjust 30. he wouldn't have remembered his mum as well. he was five when she died, but he was aware of what a great lady she was and what a great climber she was as well. i have to say, i'm not that religious, but if i was i would like to think tom has gone up to meet his mum. this is just so sad, it bears repeating.

he was just a fine young man, really. daniele also knew the risks. his family released a written statement today which included a message he had left for his son, should he not return. "don't stop", he told him, "don't give up". climbing was all tom ever wanted to do. he died doing what he loved. sarah campbell, bbc news. alan hinkes is a british mountaineer who has climbed all of the world's 14 highest mountains. he knew tom ballard's mother alison hargreaves, who died on k2 in 1995. speaking earlier to the bbc, he told us that tom was one of britain's finest climbers. tom was one of the well‘s best climbers. i mean, he was a fine young man with a super physique and a really an accomplished and technically proficient super climber. i have to say, i feel sad about his death, i really do, he was a fine young man. how do you feel, if you can do some that up today? you have had warnings of this, it was coming, but how do you really feel? i think to be honest i was aware they were dead last weekend.

to be frank, it has been a search for confirmation, so we say, to put your mind at rest and it seems like they have found some bodies. i feel slightly despondent, i really do feel sad, tom was a fine young man and a great young climber. he knew the risks and had done some of the hardest routes in the world. he really had climb some difficult routes in his time. tell us about that mountain and what you know about it, why it's got that name? nanga parbat is kit known as the killer mountain, it was the first time mountain of these 8000s to be attempted in 1895 by a british climber called mummery and sadly he was killed on it. tom and danielle were on the mummery route trying to make their first descent of one of these difficult dangerous routes to be honest. it did kill a lot of germans in the 1930s, nanga parbat. but it's not an easy or safe mountain, i climbed it injuly about 20 years ago and it was dangerous enough then. what do you think has happened to them, can you give us your guess? it is very difficult to at this point say exactly what happened to them. i would imagine they were probably

avalanched or they could have been hit by big ice blocks, you get these cliffs which are some of them the size of the white cliffs of dover, and these lumps can be as big as cars, they can be as big as an artic and they crash down and explode and shower you in shrapnel, essentially. but i would have thought it would be like temperatures would be like temperatures a0 below anyway. you will perish if left out in these temperatures, no matter how good equipment they have got, and tom and danielle were well equipped. you knew tom's mother, had using the death of his mother affected him? i do feel like this is poignant and tragic because alison, tom's mother was killed very close by on k2 which was the savage mountain. i guess tom wouldn't have remembered his mum that well, he was five when she died, but he was aware of what a great

lady she was and what a great climber she was herself. i have to say, not that religious but if i was, i'd like to think tom will meet his mum. this is just so sad, he was just a fine young man, really, tom. and people might say, lay people at home, why didn't they get to them quicker and what if they had found them quickly? would they still be alive? that's right, people do think why didn't they get there quicker, the rescue teams and so on. well, they are enabled mostly in hospital for there was a broader issue between india and pakistan. stopping helicopters getting up but at the end of the day i think they were killed pretty quickly with an avalanche or whatever. and there was probably little chance of rescue, to be honest. i couldn't rescue them, i'd need three weeks to acclimatise before i could do anything at that altitude. as it happened, there were some other timers, i think russians and spanish, volunteered to be helicoptered from base camp to nanga parbat

but sadlyit was all in vain. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are john rentoul, the chief political commentator at the independent, and ruth lea, economic adviser at arbuthnot banking group. hope you can join hope you canjoin us hope you can join us for that. the government faces mounting criticism over the decision to revoke the citizenship of shumeema begum following the death of her son in a syrian detention camp. ms begum left london tojoin the islamic state group when she was 15 and, now at 19, had wanted to return to britain. labour said the decision to prevent herfrom doing so was "callous and inhumane", while charities say the life of the child wasn't sufficiently taken into consideration. but the government insists it was acting in the national interest. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, reports. babyjerrah and his mum, 19—year—old shamima begum.

she gave birth in a camp used to hold islamic state group fighters with their wives and children. at less than three weeks old, her son has died from pneumonia and is buried here. the shadow home secretary diane abbott said leaving the two of them in a syrian refugee camp was "morally reprehensible", and "a stain on the conscience of this government". shamima begum is one of around 50,000 people, mostly women and children, living in this camp in northeastern syria. both a refuge and detention centre, those who chose to join is are now fleeing the fighting and ending up here. charities say the government had an obligation to step in. today is a national tragedy because this is a shared sorrow about the death of a british newborn child. so whatever we think about the behaviour and choices of the child's mother, a baby not yet three weeks old has died of pneumonia. last month, the home secretary sajid javid confirmed that the baby was a british citizen and said he had considered the child's

interest when deciding to take away ms begum's british citizenship. but the central question now is could the life of an innocent child have been saved? as somebody who has served in the home office, i can tell you factually the home secretary would have made a decision based on what he believes in the best interest of the security of the people of the united kingdom. the duty of a home secretary in this country is to keep british people safe, and he made a decision based on the advice he had about keeping british people safe. meanwhile shamima begum's family are still fighting for her to be allowed back to the uk. just before it was announced his grandson had died, ms begum's dad, who lives in bangladesh, begged for his daughter to be forgiven. translation: shamima was a teenager. she has done wrong, and as her father i apologise to everyone in britain. i'm asking the british people to forgive her and take her back. being in government often means making difficult choices. ministers could have allowed

shamima begum and herson to return to the uk. but that could have proved deeply unpopular. in a statement a spokesman said the death of any child was tragic, but said that for the last eight years the government has consistently advised against travel to syria. the case of shamima begum and her son is but one of thousands, and a dilemma for many governments around the world. what to do about those who left home to join an enemy, and now want to come back? chris mason, bbc news. in our washington studio isjessica trisko darden — assistant professor at the school of international service at american university and author of the book, insurgent women. thank you for coming to speak to us

today. first of all, in certain women, what was your most striking research into women who went to join groups like islamic state? thank you for having me. i think one of the mainfindings for having me. i think one of the main findings that is a feature of insurgent women is that women plasma controls within groups like the islamic state or hugger and more —— bowed to —— boko haram and in colombia is that it varies over time. one of my concerns for women sitting in detention camps in syria is how are we going about establishing what roles they played in islamic state and what support they provided to that organisation? talking of those roles, where they crimes? because one of the argument is that if returnees were to come back to their country, that they should face justice. their roles within these

walls, would they be deemed as crimes. ! within these walls. walls, would they be deemed as crimes. ! within these wallslj absolutely think they should. in the us, absolutely think they should. in the u s, co ntext absolutely think they should. in the us, context in particular, women we re us, context in particular, women were providing material support to a terrorist organisation on an ongoing basis. they are very islamic state, legitimate —— present in is statement legitimised it, and they committed crimes across international borders in joining they committed crimes across international borders injoining a sonic state so there are a range of crimes these women could be prosecuted under but it varies widely across europe. whether these are considered crimes under different international laws. we are talking about shamima begum now being on this displacement camp and there are a lot more women and children who are obviously described as innocent in all of this. in these displacement camps, are they free? of the tomic state ideology or that continue? -- sonic state ideology.

the evidence out of these camps in the last several weeks states islamic state is still very much an active organisation in both camps. women are still involved in the policing of other women plasma growth behaviour, the enforcement of sharia law like behaviour. and other women setting fire to tents and enacting punishment for violating islamic state code in those camps. when you spoke to some of these women and the research you did, did they express to you what they wanted by going back home? did they want to be allowed to be continued to live within the islamic state ideology or whether eczema go where they genuinely repentant?” whether eczema go where they genuinely repentant? i think we should think that women's motivations are varied like men's are. i think it is legitimate that

some women have realised that life and islamic state was not what they thought it was going to be. and want to come home and reintegrate into society. but i also think it is just as reasonable to assume many of the women in these camps are very strongly bound to islamic state's ideology, that they still believe in the cause and if they have the opportunity, they would still be living under islamic state in raqqa. i think we should look at each woman ona i think we should look at each woman on a case—by—case basis, work out which roles they play and what crimes they may have committed and treat those cases accordingly. thank you. a man has been remanded in custody by magistrates in east london, charged with murdering the teenager jodie chesney last week. the 17 —year—old was stabbed in the back while listening to music with friends in a park in romford.

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. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton. let's start with the six nations, as wales have edged even closer to the grand slam after beating scotland this afternoon. warren gatland's side are in scintillating form at the moment, this was their 13th win on the spin — and our correspondentjoe wilson was watching at murrayfield. in edinburgh's scenic centre, spring's delicate colours unfold.

wales. everywhere was wales. at murrayfield, watchjosh adams's moves out on the wing. ball in his hands, thenjinking and sprinting his way to the line. scotland's own attacking spirit running to the welsh defence, fiercely drilled and disciplined, while scotland hope to succeed, wales expected to. that's what confidence does for a team. jonathan davies too strong here in wales led by nine points at half—time. there was only one way scotland could succeed. if they couldn't go through wales, they would have to go round them. the ball slipped inside and then out to the wing. by modern standards, darcy graham's a ballet dancer between giants, but his try finally brought murrayfield its feet. the gap closed but the gap remained.

this welsh penalty just settled the final score, 18—11. well, it was a huge physical effort by scotland in the second half but ultimately they came up against a team which has forgotten how to lose! they celebrated in edinburgh like they do everywhere. at twickenham, england absolutely walloped italy, scoring eight tries on their way to a 57—14 win. manu tuilagi on the scoresheet and england can still win the six nations if results go their way next weekend. eight tries for the men, nine for england's women as they beat italy 55—0. they will win the grand slam if they beat scotland at twickenham next weekend. manchester city have extended their lead at the top of the premier league. they're now four points ahead of liverpool — who play tomorrow — after they beat watford 3—1.

it wasn't without controversy though, raheem sterling opening the scoring at the etihad despite looking to be well offside. he went on to score a hat—trick. a big defeat for spurs, big win for southampton at st mary's. raplh hassenhuttl delighted as his southampton side won 2-1. they remain outside of the relegation zone — spurs though are having a big wobble, that's their third straightaway defeat. the goal of the day though came at selhurt park — have a look at this from brighton's anthony knockeart. cracker. that was the winner, as brighton beat crystal palace 2—1. wins too today for cardiff, newcastle, leicester and bournmouth. a surprise sacking from the championship tonight. west brom have got rid of darren moore. they drew 1—1 with bottom side ipswich this afternoon and have lost a couple of games recently. but they're still fourth in the league. the club's chief executive mark jenkins thanked moore,

but says they have to do everything they can to get promoted back to the premier league. and there was controversy at sandown today. after this photo finish in the 1.50, the wrong winner was announced. 0fficials gave the victory to the 12 to one shot — one for rosie — seen on the far end, when it was infact third wind who was the winner. it emerged that the photo was taken from the wrong finish line. it was later corrected but not before many bookies had already paid out. that's all the sport for now. i will have more for you in the next hour. thank you, holly. negotiators from the eu and the uk are continuing technical talks on brexit as the two sides struggle to break the deadlock over the issue of the irish border. the government has rejected a proposalfrom the eu's negotiator, michel barnier, that the uk would be free to leave a proposed customs union provided that northern ireland remained inside. 0ur correspondent adam fleming

is in brussels, and told us how they are getting on. it has been tense and fought. some of them around the table today and will sit round the table tomorrow. we have had seen a memo around the other 27 member states in the eu saying they are open to workable new solutions on the uk, so that is something. and we still haven't seen the last piece of this puzzle, which is changes to the political declaration, the separate document which will sketch out the shape of the future relationship which will sit alongside the divorce treaty. so we still have roxy and what they have managed to work out there. —— not seen what they have managed to. but you talked about sl barnier yesterday on the irish backstop, a controversial bit of the deal, they

fell short of what mps are what looking for when it goes back to parliament on tuesday. staying with brexit, british vets have seen a spike in anxious pet owners seeking brexit travel advice in the last three months, according to a survey by the british veterinary association. currently pets can travel with their owners throughout the eu thanks to the ‘pet passport‘ scheme. but without a brexit deal, the uk will become a "third country", which could mean extra checks. earlier i spoke to simon doherty, the president of the british veterinary association. we are seeing a lot more pet owners now asking us for more information as to what is going to happen going ahead. as things stand at the minute, the pet travel scheme as you mentioned covers dogs, cats and ferrets. there is a separate legislation for other kinds of patent that will be potentially moving, but certainly dogs, cats and ferrets are the ones that are most likely

to be taken on holidays for example. and throughout europe. the changes that are coming in just extend the whole process out. at the minute, it is really a case of making sure that the pet has a microchip. then it gets rabies vaccination. it needs to wait for about three weeks before it is able to travel. post—brexit, if we ended up in a complete no—deal situation and as you said we were initially an unlisted initially an unlisted country, that process extends until about four months, and there are additional steps added and so once they the vaccine there is a waiting period, then they have to get blood sample taken and there is a waiting period. the blood sample has to go away to a laboratory and detect, the results come back from that, there is a further waiting period before certification can be generated as well.

it is a much more complicated procedure. the problem is, based on your previous story, we don't quite know where we are at the minute. it is very difficult for vets to get sound advice for people that want to be able to take their pets and travel with them over the next few months. that whole process basically, if you wanted to travel to the eu after the 29th of march, to be on the safe side, you need to start thinking or would have had to start thinking about this three to four months ago. is that right? is that right click ellyes. yes, you would have to have started the around november. to check that there was a chip there and to get the first vaccine, to get the blood sample taken and then wait for the three months period before you can then ask your vet to carry out the actual certification process. how much would this all cost pet owners? this is an additional cost, isn't it? at the minute, certainly to apply for a pet passport can be anywhere between maybe £150 and £250.

because of those additional steps, there is more of a delay in terms of time. but certainly in terms of the extra steps in terms of laboratory testing, you are maybe talking about another £50 or £100 by the time you had everything in. 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 from glencoe, our correspondent morag kinniburgh sent us this update. the two men had been on a rock climb up stob coire nan lochan in the three sisters of glencoe. they had been really high up all day yesterday when the winds when the winds picked up, the snow drove in and there were avalanches nearby. attempts to rescue the pair had to be abandoned because of the danger to the rescuers themselves. the raf and coastguard helped 70 mountain rescue teams

members on the ground to locate the pair, one of the men described as walking wounded, the other in a much more serious condition. the rescuers we have spoken to have described the pair as being very well equipped and experienced but conditions were very tough indeed. it seems they've completed the climb successfully and they had been on the ridge. i think visibility may have been the factor in this situation and they had got lost. it is quite technical ground higher up, eat easy to get lost in the mist. danger perspective for us, it is very easy in the dark to be avalanched, we can't see potential cornices and how the snow is at higher levels. this has been one of the biggest search and rescue operations in this area for many years. the men and women involved in the rescue team simply very relieved that they did manage to get those two men off the mountain.

nearly 90 ferry passengers had been injured injapan nearly 90 ferry passengers had been injured in japan when nearly 90 ferry passengers had been injured injapan when there boat collided with a whale. the coast guard said five people were seriously injured in the incident, which occurred just before the ferry was due to arrive following a short trip from the mainland. it is believed the boat collided with a whale as both humpbacks and monkeys are whale as both humpbacks and monkeys a re often whale as both humpbacks and monkeys are often found in the area. for the second time this week, us and less have reported activity in north korea. they suggested preparations are taking place to launch a missile oi’ are taking place to launch a missile ora are taking place to launch a missile or a satellite. a summit between the north korean leader kimjong—un or a satellite. a summit between the north korean leader kim jong—un and president trump to discuss the ongoing plasma weapons ended last week without agreement. 0ur kelly walked out of jail week without agreement. 0ur kelly walked out ofjail in chicago for
