hello. this is bbc news. a man has been arrested 157 people are killed after attacking an aston villa footballer on the pitch in an ethiopian plane crash — during their match against local rivals birmingham city. they include seven britons. it happened shortly after kick off, the plane came down when the man ran up behind minutes after taking off the midfielder, jack grealish, from the capital addis ababa — and knocked him to the floor. there were no survivors. the man was led off by stewards and the aston villa captain was able translation: it came directly from the sky downwards. to continue playing. villa went onto win the game we had a huge explosion. , with jack grealish scoring the winning goal. i've been speaking to howard hodgson, director of the aston villa supporters' trust we heard a huge explosion. there was no fire before it crashed, but once it crashed, about today's events. we saw a huge cloud of smoke. among the british killed it's unprecedented. were 36—year—old joanna toole i think this is new territory and father of three joseph wyethaka. for english football. we hearfrom his son. i don't think we have we found out that nearly ever seen a supporter, everybody had passed away, and it was just a frantic rush certainly in this fixture, to work the phones to kind of try and get any or any fixture, enter the field information that we could get. and have common assault the plane had only been in service for a few months — on a professional footballer. we'll be looking at its safety record. also tonight... it was absolutely disgraceful and despicable behaviour. you were watching the match the fighters and families at home with your son, from the islamic state group who've

what did you say to him about it? left their last stronghold in syria, but remain defiant — we have a special report. to be honest, it was surreal, i was in shock initially. "did i just see that?" mps are told — back theresa may's and then suddenly it dawned deal in the vote in two days‘ time — on us as the replays came or risk losing brexit altogether. with the uk's exit day less that he had and we were than three weeks away, we look at the political campaigning both absolutely appalled. targeting social media. and a man is arrested isaid, "charles, this doesn't often happen, after aston villa's captain it's never happened before, is attacked during their match hopefully it will never happen again." but i think that will largely depend against birmingham city. on how the fa now deal with this, and they have to set a seriously high bar with the punishment so nobody ever considers doing this again, because ultimately birmingham city are going to be the losers here because they are the ones who are going to be punished. is it right that the club good evening. is punished when they cannot ethiopian airlines has confirmed that seven british nationals have necessarily control the behaviour died after one of its planes crashed of every fan that soon after take—off claims to support them? from addis ababa. all 157 passengers and crew were killed. well, i think that is just they were travelling the nature of the beast. to the kenyan capital, nairobi, this morning. that is their responsibility, that's why you have stewards

and policing, and as i say, it's never happened before. we have had pitch invaders and all sorts of things the accident happened six minutes into the journey, but nobody‘s ever, in england, with the aircraft coming down gone on and actually outside a town 37 miles tried to seriously hurt from addis ababa. a professional footballer. so far it's not clear what caused the opponent. the boeing 737 max 8 to crash. the plane had only started service a few months ago. from nairobi, alistair leithead reports. there's very little left this is a really serious criminal of ethiopian airlines flight 302. act as far as i am concerned. this is where it crashed, if it is a criminal act, it will be the police that just minutes after take—off. deal with it supposedly. there were 149 passengers and eight crew on board. yes, i am sure the individual from the relatively small area involved will be facing serious of debris, aviation experts believe reprimand and be in serious trouble it would have plunged vertically with a number of into the ground and charges against him. exploded on impact. people nearby said it happened very quickly. but birmingham city is a football translation: it came directly clu b, u nfortu nately from the sky downwards. a number of fans did... we heard a huge explosion. tens of thousands of fans did cheer the man and encourage him, there was no fire before it crashed so there has been continued abuse but once it crashed, we saw a huge cloud of smoke. tonight on twitter. the flight, bound for nairobi, jack grealish lost a young brother to a tragic took off from the ethiopian accident when he was young

capital, addis ababa, at 8:38am, local time. butjust six minutes later, and birmingham city fans have it disappeared off the radar. felt the need to tonight it crashed near the town put on twitter, "oh, well, he has managed to score a goal but he will never of bishoftu, just 37 get his brother back", and there is some seriously awful miles from the airport. behaviour going on here. the cause isn't known, but the pilot reported a problem and asked to turn back. those awaiting its arrival in nairobi at first saw only that the flight had been cancelled. then came the terrible news. it's time for a look after a few hours, at the weather with louise lear. the airline released details of the nationalities good evening. of those on board. who'd have thought for some we would be waking up to a picture there were people from 35 different countries. postcard setting with a dusting 32 passengers were kenyan, of snow this morning? 18 were canadian, and some areas on higher ground saw seven were from the uk. several centimetres. this beautiful picture from kinross. but that was only half the story. england and wales had plenty of sunshine but we had gale force in south london, ben kuria heard gusts of wind throughout the day. widely, gusts in excess of 60 to 70 miles an hour across england this afternoon that his father, and wales and that was strong enough to bring down some trees. plenty of isobars on the chart. joseph waithaka, who has dual british and kenyan citizenship, was among the dead. i found out that nearly everybody had passed away and it was just the front that brought the rain, a frantic rush to work the phones, sleet and snow moved off into the north sea, to try and get any

information we could get. a trail of showers lingering a major international in the far north—west. conference is being held they will continue overnight with rain, sleet and snow. here at the united nations not causing too much of an issue. headquarters in nairobi tomorrow, and a number of the delegates the winds will ease down but it will be a blustery travelling from all over the world were on the plane. night across the country. but with clearer skies elsewhere, the executive director of the un's it is going to be cool as well. world food programme said a number a notable wind but temperatures into low, single figure of his staff and other un so we could see a touch of light frost in some spots. employees were killed. a chilly start to monday morning and tonight, another briton and a blustery start but also who's died has been named as 36—year—old joanna toole, a sunny one and monday is shaping up who was heading to that un conference. the aircraft was brand new. to be a lovely day. ethiopian airlines, africa's biggest and most successful operator, fools' gold, perhaps, the sunshine, because it is all change received its first boeing 737—800 from tuesday onwards. if you can make the most of it, do. max aircraft last june. monday will be a lovely day, the plane that crashed breezy afternoon but plenty of sun. was only delivered in the highs across england and wales, november, four months ago. it had flown up from johannesburg this morning. nine to 11 degrees. and it's the same type of aircraft bought by lion air that crashed off we'll feel that little bit warmer indonesia last october, because the winds are lighter. with the loss of 189 passengers and crew, but all the time, the cloud and the rain is gathering also shortly after take—off. into the far west and another area boeing said it was deeply saddened of low pressure moving

and that a technical team was ready on from the atlantic and plenty of isobars associated with that low. to provide assistance. a spell of heavy rain, while all thoughts are with perhaps an inch in places on west the families of those killed, facing coasts as it moves steadily work has already begun to find out south and east. and we will see gale what caused the crash. force gusts of wind. the us federal aviation authority the rain will push its way says it will be involved into eastern england and south—east in the investigation. england by tuesday lunchtime. alistair leithead, behind it, sunny spells and scattered showers but the winds bbc news, nairobi. will remain a feature, particularly into the far north—west. seven to 8 degrees in scotland as we heard in that report, the aircraft and eight to ten further south. was a relatively new model it is on the southern flank of this and concerns have been raised about its safety systems. low as it tracks eastwards our transport correspondent into the north sea that we could see tom burridge is here. tell us more about this the most damaging gusts of winds, perhaps severe gales on exposed aircraft's record? coasts, something to keep a close eye on. the boeing 737 max 8 has been a huge the week ahead looks stormy. success commercially for boeing. severe gales around with heavy rain and also drier, 4500 of brighter interludes. success commercially for boeing. a500 of the aircraft sold worldwide. ryanair is due to start using the planes next month. norwegian already has them in operation. but there is no doubt that the crash of one of these aircraft off the coast of indonesia in october has raised uncomfortable questions because what is believed to have happened there is believed to have happened there is that an automatic computer system

on board the plane, which is supposed to prevent it from stalling, received incorrect data from a sensor on the plane and caused it to knows that. that nosedive was supposed to prevent the store. in reality, it put it into the sea. i understand that boeing's work to address the issues from that crash is ongoing. tonight there is no hard evidence to link that crashed to the crash in ethiopia today. the investigation is a course in its early stages. the flight data recorders will have to be sent off for analysis, but i think the overriding fact is that you have two of the same aircraft, the ultramodern short—haul model from boeing, crashing within the space of five months, which is incredibly rare. that adds urgency to the investigation, led by the ethiopians, backed up very much by the americans because of boeing, to come up with answers and address some of the issues as quickly as possible both for the airlines and for their passengers. tom, thank you.

us—backed syrian democratic forces have resumed their air attack on baghouz, the islamic state group's last stronghold in syria. is once had dreams of a global caliphate, but most of the group's die—hard supporters have now surrendered to kurdish forces. as is faces its final battle, civilians have been fleeing — they include yazidi women and children, who were enslaved by the group for years. earlier, the bbc was given an exclusive look inside baghouz. 0ur middle east correspondent quentin sommerville, and cameraman jewan abdi, have sent this report. this is the end of the road. beyond here, we were given a first look inside all that remains of the islamic state group's caliphate. is are close enough to shoot. under their black flag — it was raised only the day before — the diehards hold firm. improvised bombs are left behind, but the caliphate is reduced to squalid camps. no one knows how many remain inside. the men of the syrian democratic forces wait for the final assault.

just a mile away, is true believers meet their apocalypse. more than 12,000 supporters, including their children, gave up to kurdish forces in the last week. girl sings. the daughter of a french is fighter. this is not a lullaby, but a propaganda ballad. she sings of martyrdom and paradise. her extremist father was killed earlier this week. women shout. their hateful ideology, which brought terror here, still pollutes minds. allahu akbar! "go film the men", they scream, "we are the women of the islamic state, god is great", as they attack our camera.

hundreds of is fighters have been killed, but hundreds more have survived the battle to retake the last tiny village of baghouz. they are headed for kurdish prison. many of the islamic state supporters view the surrender not as defeat, but as only a setback. the is leadership told them to give up. the wives expect to see their husbands again, and those husbands expect to take up arms again. that leadership has already fled, and now all across northern syria, there are tens of thousands of hardcore is supporters being held together in camps and prisons, and they are waiting for what comes next. allahu akbar! 11—year—old amar from iraq told us he wants to be a jihadist. allahu akbar! adiba, a yazidi woman, is revealed

casting off is oppression. they burn the abaya she was made to wear. forcibly converted to islam, adiba was passed from one moroccan fighter to another. she says she suffered regular beatings, was raped and had a child. nearby, we meet her latest captor, ahmed. "she wasn't a slave", he says, "she lived with my wife and parents". he'd taken her after her previous ca ptor was killed. is committed a genocide against adiba's people. now her life begins again. and the nightmare caliphate ends. but here in syria, the islamic state group's people and its toxic ideology still cling on. quentin somerville, bbc news, syria.

a climber who was rescued after being stranded overnight on a mountain in the highlands has died. the 57—year—old man was airlifted from a peak in the glencoe area to hospital in aberdeen yesterday. a second climber, a a9—year—old man, was taken to hospital in fort william — where he is in a stable condition. both men had travelled from nottinghamshire and were part of a larger group of climbers. strong winds of up to 65 miles per hour have caused disruption across parts of the country, bringing down trees, closing roads and leaving hundreds of homes in wales without power. winds knocked scaffolding into a road in west london, crushing these cars. meanwhile, gusts blew part of the roof off this supermarket store in broadstairs in kent. the family of a 23—year—old british woman missing in guatemala say they're "desperately worried" for her safety. catherine shaw, from witney in oxfordshire, was last seen on march ath in the lake atitlan area of the country. her parents said her disappearance

was of "great concern". the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has warned mps that failing to back theresa may's brexit deal in the commons on tuesday could jeopardise the uk's departure from the eu. to stop brexit — and that there'd be devastating consequences for the conservative party if it failed to deliver on the referendum result. our political correspondent chris mason has this report. for the prime minister, every week begins with church and is followed, recently at least, by bruising brexit battles in the commons. so here we go again, as she tries for a second time to get parliament to back her plan. the foreign secretary said those who backed brexit, but attempted to vote against the government, should be careful what they wish for. there is wind in the sails of people trying to stop brexit, and i want to make this point because it's a very important one. if you want to stop brexit, you only need to do three things — kill this deal, get an extension,

and then have a second referendum. this afternoon the eu's chief negotiator michel barnier posted a photo with the irish prime minister leo varadkar before ireland participated in the six nations by. negotiations between officials from both sides have trundled on here in brussels all weekend. but there's been no breakthrough yet. this former brexit secretary is far from convinced by the deal as it stands, but is certain that brexit must happen. ..or else? britain will get its trump moment. what happens is that the british people who voted for this, and a large number of remainers who didn't vote for it but still think it should be carried through because they believe in democracy, will see a government walking away, a parliament walking away from a question that they themselves put to the people. here's what we're expecting this week. on tuesday, mps will vote again on theresa may's brexit deal.

if she loses, on wednesday they're likely to be asked whether leaving the eu without an overarching deal should be ruled out. on thursday, if mps reject a no—deal brexit, the question for parliament could be whether leaving should be delayed. postponing brexit would only happen if the uk and the eu agreed to it. you'd be excused for being just a little world—weary hearing someone like me tell you there's a big brexit week ahead. yes, we have been here before. but the coming days matter, because the prime minister will either get her deal through, which looks unlikely, or risk losing control of the brexit process. labour doesn't want the prime minister's withdrawal agreement, or a no deal. they're not ruling out another referendum, but reckon their plan for a closer relationship with the eu after brexit could be secured if brexit is delayed. how long do you want? as long as necessary. i think myself, we could agree labour's deal within a matter of weeks.

the european union has looked positively on that. in all the discussions we've had, they see that as the foundation of a proper negotiation. everyone here will tell you what they want to happen, but no one knows what is going to happen. chris mason, bbc news, at westminster. with march 29th — brexit day — looming, there's been fresh scrutiny of how social media platforms are being used in political campaigning. last year, the british data firm cambridge analytica collapsed — after claims of improper behaviour during the us presidential election and the brexit referendum. recognise any of these? they're facebook ads about brexit, and some encourage you to lobby your mp. with a simple click, you can send a templated e—mail. anyone placing an ad can target the facebook user by categories such as age, gender and location.

we asked the organisation who targets me for some background. the way i research this is that you open up facebook‘s political ad library, and then you can search for any keyword or party or individual or name and see what ads are running related to that person. so you open up the library, type in brexit and then you'll get the results for that particular search. so what can we glean about this particular ad, which is being sent to constituents of andrew mitchell, mp? this ad has been shown between 10,000 and 50,000 times to his constituents and has had between £100 and £500 spent on it, probably appeared to more men than women. it's only appeared to constituents aged over 35. andrew mitchell mp's office told us that on the first two days of the ad being pumped out, they received 6a identical e—mails from people supporting brexit with the subject heading "britain's future". in the last six months, facebook have made ads much more transparent in response to recent scandals. but we still don't know who is paying for all these brexit ads.

the group at the top of the list, britain's future, has bought the most brexit ads. what can we glean about britain's future? how much do we know firstly about how much they are advertising and how much they're spending? britain's future seem to be running a lot of advertising. they are now pretty close to the top political advertiser on facebook in the uk, over the last three months. they've spent nearly £300,000, they have run over 3,000 different ads. most of those ads are targeted at individual mps, trying to get them to back a no—deal brexit. but who are britain's future, and who's paying for all these ads? it's a mystery. what we do know is that it appears to be run by a journalist and comedy scriptwriter called tim dawson. we approached him for comment, but he declined to respond. for decades, politics has been dominated by three different types of campaign — one on the ground, one in print and one on the airwaves. social media has added a fourth dimension, one where the money is harder to trace and regulation falls between the cracks.

and there are two different types of political messaging on social media. there are the adverts, which we pay for, and then there are the tweets, the posts and the updates, which you don't. the game is to try and make six people look like 6 million people. we asked ben nimmo, a senior research fellow at the atlantic council's digital forensic research lab, to read the recent digital runes on one particular platform, twitter. what you're seeing on the leave side is that it's a fairly steady volume of people who are posting about it quite passionately. it's around the 20,000 to 25,000 people mark. on the people's vote side, you have ao0,000 users. so it's looking like the really passionate leavers are still posting like they used to, but it's looking like there's much more conversation and activity around the idea of there being a second referendum. in the wake of the cambridge analytica scandal, the vulnerability of voters to online targeting is clear. regulation, public awareness and media literacy don't yet match the threat.

amol rajan, bbc news. with all the sport now, here'sjohn watson at the bbc sport centre. good evening. ireland have kept their six nations hopes alive with a 26—1a win over france in dublin. it means three teams can still win this years title, wales, england and the holders, heading into the final round. patrick gearey reports. at this time of year, things change fast. it's been an unsettled six nations for ireland, who began as sunlit favourites but found the wind against them. whatever they might have done better, they are still led by the best. having delivered the lineout, rory best fought for the line, the captain scoring on what might be his last six nations game in dublin. that set the scene and the rest of the half would be played in the surrounding area. france engulfed by a green belt that ireland eventually built on. johnny sexton, now a try scorer.

ireland look like the irresistible force they were last year, 19—0 at the break and it might have been more. after working so hard, it was only fair ireland collected their bonus. keith earls earned them an extra point which would take them one point behind england in the championship. france had named an unchanged team for the first time since 2012. it took until the final five minutes to look as though they had met before. the frustration which had built up over the course of the match channelled into one last shove. that will stay in the small print. but the headline is that ireland are back and might win the six nations. things do change fast. a man's been arrested after attacking aston villa midfielderjack grealish in today's derby match with birmingham city at st andrews. the spectator ran onto the pitch before punching grealish from behind. both clubs and the fa have condemned the incident.

the player was ok to continue, and even scored the winner in the second half. match of the day follows the news, so if you don't want to know today's premier league scores — avert your attention for the next few moments. liverpool are a point behind league leaders manchester city after beating burnley a—2. ole gunnar solskjaer suffered his first league defeat as manchester united's interim manager, losing 2—0 at arsenal as the race for a top four finish intensifies. sixth placed chelsea drew 1—1 at home with wolves. ronnie o'sullivan has become the first snooker player in history to record 1,000 century breaks. it came at the players championship in preston and ever the showman, ronnie took his time over the pot that took him to the landmark. he went on to win the match with the break of 13a and with it the tourname,t, as he beat neil robertson 10—a. and sir mo farah won the big half marathon for a second year in a row,

the last race he'll run before competing in next months london marathon. after his victory, farah again hinted at a possible return to the track. he said he'll make a decision on his future after the marathon, a race he's never won. there's more on the bbc sport website including news of an england whitewash in the final match of their twenty20 series againt the west indies. reeta. john, thank you. that's all from us. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel — now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye.
