1:01 am
investigators are set to release not feeling too bad and the sunshine, some their first report into ethiopian of the showers quite heavy victims of the windrush scandal have with hail, but for others, been told there's "no limit" plane crash that killed 157 people. this is what we were greeted with the first thing in the morning. we are fairand plane crash that killed 157 people. we are fair and harmonious as a some lying snow, several centimetres country, the sultan of brunei in places across parts of scotland and north englad. defends the death penalty for adultery and gay sex. this is bbc it does look like this is a potential for further snow world news. it is newsday. over the next few hours, but in a slightly different air. it is worth bearing in mind good morning. there could be a little bit of disruption on minor roads. it's 8am in singapore, that area of low pressure 1 in the morning in london and 9am is slipping this southwest in tokyo where it's being reported and that is where we are likely that prosecutors have entered to see the most unsubtle weather the house of the former nissan over the next few hours. chief, carlos ghosn and he has been any snow is likely to be to higher re—arrested amid fresh allegations. ground across wales but it is worth he could now face more bearing in mind we could see slushy deposits at lower levels criminal charges. and may be for a time into west midlands as well. circulating around that low we will have more on this rearrest is a band of showers, it'll be a pretty miserable early morning rush hour. elsewhere, some clearer skies later on newsday. we are and sunshine coming through. expecting to hear our correspondent on the breaking news and as
1:02 am
$0011 50011 as we soon as we get more developments on the rain and scotland slowly edging that we will bring it to you. its way westwards as we go through our other top story — the day. and more breaking news, into the afternoon, the best in the last hour or so, britain's house of commons has of the sunshine looks likely to be the further east you are, passed a bill that obliges the prime minister to seek a further extension underneath that area of low to the brexit process in order pressure, we still see the bands to avoid britain leaving of rain circulating around. the eu without a deal. by friday, the low starts to lose its grip a little. it sinks further south and west, what does that mean? weakens slightly and the one direction starts to come in from southeasterly, our political correspondent a slightly mild source and that iain watson told me more. will be a noticeable change across the country. u nfortu nately we a re unfortunately we are struggling to bring you that interview where he it means that the showers are likely to be if you far was telling us exactly what happened between in comparison in the house of commons. i think you to what we have seen for the there is impotence on friday can bring it to you know, we will starting gun for the showers give it another go. that says but they will fade away perhaps northern ireland seeing the heaviest into the afternoon. history and the making, not to be and elsewhere, some sunny overdramatic but it is true, what spells coming through. and it will feel a degree has just happened is mps have voted or so milder back into double by the narrowest of margins, by one digits, ten to 13 degrees. vote to take power away from the government, away from the prime that looks likely to be the scene as we move into the weekend. minister, over a vital stage in the because that southeasterly flow brexit process and as you know, will continue to drag and milder air britain should have left the from the near continent, european union on the 29th of march the only issue with that is it
1:03 am
and had a short extension agreed and could bring a little bit more in the way of cloud in order to avoid the no deal and some moisture. scenario a group of mps decided to it could be quite a murky weekend. that is worth bearing in mind. try to wrest control from theresa in comparison to what we have seen may, the prime minister, and this week, it is not going to be anywhere near as cold. effectively mandate her and tell her take care. what to do. and has to be agreed by the upper chamber, the house of lords, probably tomorrow and i think it is likely they will do so but what happened in parliament tonight with a very lively debate over the constitutional implications of this and the practical implications as well. but in practise what will happen next is that theresa may will be told to go back to brussels and ask for an extension on article 50 and further delay to brexit. she will come back and suggest a date and mps will have the power to change that date themselves, to ask for their own extension, rather than living it up to the government. but the eu will have to agree that but certainly from the british side of things, from westminster, there is no agreement amongst the mps, by the
1:04 am
narrowest of margins, to ask for the extension. and may ask for a longer extension. and may ask for a longer extension said there is time to put an alternative to theresa may's there are in place. —— is now an agreement. people are asking really who is in charge now on social media and you say they have taken control and you say they have taken control and power but theresa may is still the base that will go to brussels to lead the negotiations? she is still the prime minister but she will be told what to do by prowling rather than just by her cabinet, told what to do by prowling rather thanjust by her cabinet, by told what to do by prowling rather than just by her cabinet, by the executive if you like. that is a big change in the power balance here but also means that she cannot for example threaten no deal at all u nless example threaten no deal at all unless the eu wants to impose no deal on the united kingdom. it seems unlikely but in this process of brexit, predictions are lasting precisely one minute before the ground shifts yet again. we will see
1:05 am
what theresa may is trying to do of course as rest control back by getting an agreement on the main party of opposition and its leader jeremy corbyn, today there will be technical talks and tomorrow on some of the options to form a customs union for example, something she has so far resisted but speaking to people on both sides privately, not will the much hope for the talks to be successful. and there will be a range of options voted on by mps to reach any kind of agreement or consensus next week which might give a degree of influence in the process again but what you cannot do, which the house of lords agrees, it cannot decide that no deal will play any pa rt decide that no deal will play any part of this and will be mandated and required to go to the eu and ask for further extension and required to go to the eu and ask forfurther extension if and required to go to the eu and ask for further extension if necessary to avoid and no deal scenario on
1:06 am
april the 12th. how are you feeling? i think probably strangely enough somewhat buffeted by brexit. on one hand, there is so much drama every night and it is almost becoming mundane that there are so many knife edge votes and what is interesting, what is hugely exciting at the time and then he stepped back and find that you have not really move the brexit process on one iota. no closer to getting an actual deal to put to brussels and still do not know if brussels will agree to an extension mps ask for. hanging in there as we follow every stage of brexit for you. also making news this hour, it is nato's anniversary. the secretary general mark the occasion with a rare address of the us congress and said that they did not want a new cold war but it must not be naive about relations with russia.
1:07 am
us congressional committee approved legal measures to obtain the entire molar report. a comes from precious from democrats to release the full report. it said there was no collusion between the trump campaign and russia but there was no ruling on whether president donald trump obstructed justice. he is forced to resign on to say after 20 years in power it may be admission and a farewell letter a nd power it may be admission and a farewell letter and said he was proud of his time in office and his attem pts proud of his time in office and his atte m pts to proud of his time in office and his attempts to stand for a fifth term triggered weeks of protests by those who felt his government was corrupt and undemocratic. more now on the breaking story and the rearrest of carlos ghosn, let's get the latest from our tokyo correspondent. he has
1:08 am
been rearrested for the fourth time and he has made some comments to his representatives? you may know more than ideal that, what i do know is that carlos ghosn was taken from his temporary residence in tokyo this morning by prosecutors and he was taken in for questioning, we think on new charges, new allegations against him, referring to payments that he is accused of making two and a businessman, to the tune of about 31 million us dollars and the allegation certainly from the prosecution's side was that the payment was used, it came out of his personal fund that the chairman's personal fund that the chairman's personalfund, personal fund that the chairman's personal fund, and that it was, certainly the allegation would be that it was unimproved or there was
1:09 am
something dodgy about that payment to the businessman. we first heard about this being investigated last week and now we have heard this morning that he has been taken back into custody and that he is being questioned and that potentially he can now be charged with further charges and that can mean that he could be held for again, and present, this process could reset the clock really and he could go back to being held for another 23 days of questioning and they could then place fresh charges against them at the end of that process. this came after carlos ghosn himself went on twitter last night, saying he was about to hold a press conference, the first since his release a month ago and he was going to hold his press conference at the foreign correspondents club injapan next week and whether these two things have anything to do with each other, we do not know, they could be a coincidence that he said last
1:10 am
night he would go public and tell the world about the truth about the case against me and this morning he is back in police custody. and according to a wire report, through representatives that came out in a statement slamming his rearrest, while on bail as outrageous and arbitrary and valid they will not be broken. that is vintage carlos ghosn, he had sent her the whole process of being held for more than three months in detention, from november until a month ago that he would absolutely not sign up to anything the prosecutors were putting to hand and as we have seen during this process, a lot of people have come out and said, talked about the japanese prosecution system as a hostage justice system that prosecutors take the subject into custody for prolonged periods of time and attempt to grind them down so they would sign some sort of deal, some sort of confession of their guilt and carlos ghosn and his
1:11 am
legal team centre out that he absolutely will not be broken by the prosecutors and by the prolonged detention. we hearfrom them it seems through his glare today, that he is determined to stick this out and face his day in court which we think will likely happen and not until perhaps the end of this year said this is a very long and protracted, exhausting process for any defendant in japan protracted, exhausting process for any defendant injapan but carlos ghosn is famous for being a tough quy ghosn is famous for being a tough guy and he is showing that again today. the farmer nissan chief carlos ghosn has been arrested this morning in tokyo. thank you so much for the update. authorities in ethiopia are preparing to deliver their first report into the crash of ethiopian airlines flight 302 last month. all 157 people on board were killed — and boeing 737 max planes around the world have been grounded. attention has focused on the jet‘s anti — stall system. i've been speaking to the bbc‘s
1:12 am
africa business editor, larry madowo, about the upcoming report and what it's likely to say. this investigation into the crash has been leaking, there have been a series of reports in the wall street journal, new york times and guardian as well talking about what the preliminary reports are expecting them to say and many say it will painta them to say and many say it will paint a picture of a failure of the anti—stall paint a picture of a failure of the a nti —stall system paint a picture of a failure of the anti—stall system and the boeing 737 max, and it is to stop a stall by pushing the nose downwards and to avoid basically the plane crashing and yet it does the opposite and the greeks have so far suggested that in the crash a few weeks ago that the system was activated and one report from the wall streetjournal said that the pilots did try and turn it
1:13 am
off but it came back on again and guardian reporting a short while ago that it may have been deactivated several times and we expect to see ethiopian authorities basically saying that the pilots were well—trained and this system somehow was to blame for the crash and we do not know for sure, this is all speculation but speculation points to that. after this report from ethiopia's transport minister, all eyes and ears will now be on the response of boeing. absolutely. one a nalyst response of boeing. absolutely. one analyst points out that boeing might be losing as much as one half billion dollars every month at the 737 max stays grounded around the world. it is the most profitable in he has resell edits and their interest to reassure at the flying public and the industry that it is safe to fly. it will likely release a software patch but so far one
1:14 am
angle of attack centre, or according to what we know, it will be updated to what we know, it will be updated to ta ke to what we know, it will be updated to take readings from two centres to relieve the possibility of it's malfunctioning but it is also going to be easierfor malfunctioning but it is also going to be easier for pilots to overwrite and take manual control of the plane so boeing will be trying everything possible to get authorities and the us to set it right and authorities in china and europe to also allow them to go back into the skies. that was bbc‘s africa business editor. still to come on the programme... jakarta's metro line is open for business but is a clicker for the mac than other modes of transport and the city? we put it to the test. —— but is it quicker than other modes of transport in the city. the accident that happened here was of the sort that, in this case proportions
1:15 am
worked but not quite well enough to prevent old fears about the safety of the stations from resurfacing. the republic of ireland has become the first country in the world to ban smoking in the workplace, and from now on anyone lighting up will face a heavy find them i find stop live he was on his way out of the washington hilton you tell them mac hotel and the small crowd outside and the small crowd outside included his assailant. it has become a symbol of paris and a hundred years ago that many parisi which said never it was built. it has been marked as a re—enactment of the first ascent.
1:16 am
hello everyone and glad you are with us, this is news day on the bbc. let's bring you up—to—date with breaking news this hour, prosecutors have rated the tokyo home of farmer nissan chairman carlos ghosn, arresting him for the fourth time. ina arresting him for the fourth time. in a statement released by him, he said my arrest is outrageous and arbitrary. british mps have voted to force the prime minister to ask for an extension and the brexit process and a day to avoid leaving the european union without a deal. there's been international outrage at strict islamic rules introduced in brunei. from wednesday, adultery, and sex between men is punishable by stoning to death in the south—east asian country.a number of celebrities — including george clooney and sir eltonjohn have called for a boycott of hotels connected to the sultan of brunei, the country's leader. the united nations has called the new measures a ‘violation of human rights'.
1:17 am
caroline hawley reports. he is one of the richest people on the planet, the longest serving monarch after the queen. now, the sultan of brunei is in the spotlight with an international outcry over harsh new sharia laws. they came into effect today, despite appeals from the un, human rights groups and governments, including the uk. this is shocking news. these are extremely cruel and inhumane punishments that have been brought in. bringing in something like death by stoning for things that shouldn't even be crimes, such as gay sex, such as adultery, amputation for robbery. these are really horrendous. and it's going completely in the wrong direction. it's on the wrong side of history. his majesty the sultan of brunei. britain has good relations with its former colony. this was sultan hassanal bolkiah visiting in 2017. the uk also has a military base in brunei. it conducts training in jungle warfare there. and the sultan pays for a battalion of gurkhas.
1:18 am
brunei's oil wealth has brought it investments around the world, including a string of luxury hotels — like here in london, the dorchester. some celebrities are now calling for a boycott. among them are ellen degeneres, eltonjohn and george clooney. soon as i reach the country, as soon as i step foot in the country, i am liable be killed by stoning. shahiran shahrani, currently seeking asylum in canada, is worried about friends back home. i hope they are making plans to get out. because i don't think it's a safe country, and i hope they can do what i did and escape. it seems the sultan is trying to boost his popularity with religious conservatives as the economy of his tiny kingdom weakens. whether or not the brutal penalties are actually enforced, the new legislation, for those that could fall foul of it, has created an atmosphere of terror. caroline hawley, bbc news.
1:19 am
malaysia's former prime minister najib razak has gone on trial and his involvement of the multi—million dollar scandal, and face a second charges in the first of several criminal cases accusing him of millions of dollars from the fund and spending it on luxury goods and home renovations. mr najib pleaded not guilty to all charges on wednesday. i've been speaking to cynthia gabriel, head of malaysia's centre to combat corruption and cronyism about the scandal surrounding mr najib. malaysia is now in the spotlight, because of the former prime minister, and his many scandals and so yesterday was a very important day because it was the start of his trials after almost 11 months of the new government coming into power.
1:20 am
and loss power in 2008. being the head of this ngo, what are the main obstacles and fighting corruption and what can be done to eradicate it? it is very important to say first of all that it is very pervasive and entrenched problem and malaysia and probably many other countries but in malaysia we have had 61 yea rs countries but in malaysia we have had 61 years of unbridled rule where one coalition has been in power since independence in 1957 from the british. and has been a very long time and a whole lot of political power has actually come back to the coalition and powers so you had for example the prime minister of malaysia at that time also being the finance minister and so notjust wheeling political power but also had financial power and theyjust
1:21 am
compromise and trampled upon many of the institutions of government that might as checks and balances. so it was probably very much real and all levels of government, and local governments so it was something that... do you think this trial, the investigation and the unraveling of the scandal will change malaysia ? for change is going to be really multi fold and in many stages but we believe this is a very important turning point for the country and it is the first time that a prime minister is ever charged for anything and in this case 45 counts of money laundering and corruption and criminal breach of trust so it isa and criminal breach of trust so it is a very big moment and a very
1:22 am
unprecedented moment for malaysia. it will definitely change the landscape but it may not change the entire culture, the entire system because this will take years and it will take a lot of political will. jakarta's first metro line has officially opened this week. many are hoping it will ease the notorious traffic in indonesia's capital. the new line is the first phase of a larger mass rapid transit project that's been in the works for decades. so how does it compare to other modes of transport? our team at bbc indonesia have been testing it out.
