good evening, and we start tonight with a special report on the devastating conflict in yemen as a new round of talks between the two sides gets under way. it's described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis with an estimated 80% of the population — some 2a million people — needing some form of assistance, including 14.3 million who are said to be in acute need. the conflict, which started over four years ago, involves the houthi rebels supported by iran and the government of president hadi backed by a coalition of countries led by saudi arabia and backed by the us and the uk. the city of taiz has a population of half a million but very few functioning hospitals. bbc arabic‘s special correspondent nawal al—maghafi has obtained exclusive footage and reports on the conditions there. another victim of a sniper attack, rushed to taiz‘s main hospital. this is the country's most brutal

conflict zone and the situation here is only getting worse. translation: since 10:30am, the sniperfire has been relentless. we have received patients, including nabil. the city lays in ruins and the people here are living in danger. their suffering forgotten. abdirahim shows us the difficulty of moving around. translation: this is a barrier because the street is exposed and the sniper can see from very far away. you need to put your head down and run. the city is trapped between two front lines. on one side, houthi snipers hold positions, and on the other forces loyal to the yemeni government. those who remain are too poor to escape. translation: did you hear that? someone has just been shot here.

they have taken him to hospital. he was shot here. moments later, we meet another casualty. come and look, this is one of the victims. i was checking around my house and somebodyjust shot me. a sniper also targeted this 11—year—old. she was helping herfather when she was shot in the back. i looked outside and i saw that she was bleeding a lot from her mouth and nose. i prayed, "dear god, if she's meant to come back to then please save her but if she's safer in your hands then let it be." her mother shows us what doctors took out of her wound. even taiz‘s main hospital is no longer a place of safety. this used to be the main operating theatre. it's abandoned. life—saving once took place here.

life—saving surgeries once took place here. now it's completely destroyed. you can see the front line from here. it's dangerous but we have to carry on providing services even if it's basic because the people here desperately need it. every day, the death toll mounts. this man was working with his brother when he was shot by houthi snipers. suddenly we found ourselves attacked by the houthis. they started shooting at him, those cowards. we have nothing to do with this war. despite any peace talks, the fighting here continues, and for the people of taiz there is no hope in sight. nawal is with me. we talk about this new round of talks, do you detect any realistic chance of a breakthrough here? there is peace talks but unfortunately taiz isn't on the agenda and that's because the main focus has been on

breaking the deadlock in the port city of hededa. there's been great effort by un envoy to implement what was agreed on in stockholm but that happened in december and only this weekend have we began to see some progress with the warring factions agreeing to withdraw the fighters from the city. but that isn't enough, like the un humanitarian coordinator stressed today it isn't enough to withdraw their forces from the port city of the fighting is to continue. the question is is there a real intention from the warring factions to put the needs of the people above their own and start walking the path to peace? if not not only does that mean and not —— an already catastrophic situation will get worse but civilians who live next to the front lines like the people we saw in taiz have any

hope of seeing relief. the man in charge of stadium safety at the time of the hillsborough football disaster in 1989 has been fined six and a half thousand pounds. 96 liverpool fans died following the crush at the ground at the match between liverpool and nottingham forest. the former secretary of sheffield wednesday football club graham mackrell is the first person to be convicted of an offence relating to the tragedy as our correspondent judith moritz reports. hillsborough hasn't harmed your career, mr mackrell. isn't it time to resign? though he was responsible for safety at hillsborough, graham mackrell still works in professional football. will you resign from the league managers association, mr mackrell? now, he's the only person ever to be convicted in connection with the hillsborough disaster. on that day, wearing a buttonhole, he was dressed for a special occasion, playing host when liverpool met nottingham forest in the fa cup. but he only put on seven turnstiles for 10,000 fans. a huge crowd formed. police opened a gate,

but supporters went on to terraces which were already full. 96 died. thejudge said, whilst mackrell‘s actions set the scene for the disaster, they weren't a direct cause of the deaths. he fined him £6,500. our 96 are dead and all it's worth is £67.70 each. shameful. it's just another day in the life of hillsborough where, yet again, the families have been shafted. i just really don't think that they've got any regard for what the families have actually been through. this is an original match programme from the fa cup semifinal. you can see graham mackrell‘s name here on the back. and inside makes interesting reading as well. there's a letter from the sheffield wednesday chairman, bert mcghee, who talks about hillsborough as the perfect venue for all kinds of important matches. he says it's a stadium that befits such occasions and the large crowds they attract.

the next day, mackrell was one of those showing margaret thatcher around hillsborough. the match commander, david duckenfield, was there too. his recent trial ended without a verdict. a retrial is being considered. judith moritz, bbc news. an inquest has been hearing how the youngest victim of the london bridge attack was killed while being helped up by a passer—by, after slipping in high—heeled shoes. 21—year—old sara zelenak was an australian au pair. the court was shown cctv of her shortly before she was killed, alongside a 32—year—old british man, james mcmullan, as he tried to help her to herfeet. eight people died in the attack injune 2017. an investigation into rape allegations against the wikileaks founderjulian assange is being reopened by the authorities in sweden. he has always denied the charges and sought refuge in the ecuadorean embassy in london for seven years, to avoid extradition. mr assange, who was jailed last

month for breaching his bail conditions, also faces extradition to the united states for his alleged role in unlawfully releasing classified military material as our correspondent caroline hawley reports. it was this dramatic moment that paved the way for today's decision. julian assange evicted by the ecuadorians last month. his political asylum stripped from him, under arrest for skipping bail. and now, from sweden, there's to be a new european arrest warrant. translation: after reviewing the preliminary investigation in its current state, my assessment is there is still probable cause to suspect thatjulian assange committed rape. the investigation into julian assange began back in the summer of 2010, when two women accused him of sexual assault on a visit to sweden. he was arrested and fought a legal battle against extradition,

which he lost. in 2012, he went into the ecuadorian embassy. two years ago, swedish prosecutors shelved the rape case because they couldn't pursue it. but that changed last month, whenjulian assange was hauled out of the embassy. today, the lawyer for the woman accusing him of rape said they wouldn't give up until the case was in court. translation: the decision of the prosecutor, we feel, is clear, signalling something important and it is that everyone is equal before the law. that no—one is above the law, even if you are called julian assange. he's now behind bars in belmarsh jail, facing two extradition requests from sweden and from the us, where he is wanted over the mass leak of american state secrets. his lawyer in sweden says he wants to clear his name. we are open—minded to cooperate with the swedes, but we are highly critical they do this because this is a ten—year—old story and it died two years ago and it should have remained dead. it will be for the home secretary to weigh in onjulian assange's fate

and decide which extradition request takes precedence. it would be very difficult politically for sajid javid to say rape is not as serious as a computer hacking events, and another factor he would also have in the forefront of his mind i think is the limitation on this rape offence in sweden runs out in august 2020. this tangled legal, which has dragged on for nearly a decade, is still far from over. caroline hawley, bbc news. global financial markets have fallen sharply, as the united states and china intensified their trade war. beijing said it would raise tariffs on nearly $60 billion worth of american goods. this was in retaliation for president trump's move to charge higher tariffs on more than $200 billion worth of chinese imports. all us markets fell,

with shares in consumer goods makers and technology firms the worst hit. brexit talks between the government and labour have resumed today, as labour's deputy leader, tom watson, and the shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer both said that any agreement would have to be put to another referendum. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, said this was a ‘crunch week‘ for the talks, but rejected having another public vote. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, is at westminster. laura, debt is endless talk of being constructive and being positive, but is there any sign of any actual agreement between them? well, the talks have been going on for six weeks now and if you squint at it, you think these two very different political parties might at least on policy and the actual plans for brexit might come to some kind of accommodation. and people close to the talks, inside the room, believe the talks, inside the room, believe the policy was all it was about, they may well be able to come up with something. but the fact is, of course, they cannot escape the

politics of this extraordinary situation. remember, the two sides we re situation. remember, the two sides were only given to talk to each other properly because three times, mps said no to theresa may's compromise with the european union. both political parties have said to the public they were take is out of the public they were take is out of the european union, so that is why they had to get round the table. but they had to get round the table. but the tories are split on it, labour are also split over the question of another referendum, and the politics for both sides of the leaders are extremely difficult to deliver. these talks are not completely dead, tomorrow i understand 0lly robbins, the government's brexit negotiator? remember him? he will be going to brussels to talk about how and how long it might take to change the long it might take to change the long term vague outline agreement, that political declaration, if there we re that political declaration, if there were an accommodation between the two sides in westminster. but the prospects for these talks getting that kind of conclusion do not seem that kind of conclusion do not seem that good. one cabinet minister told me, it is like we are in a plane, but the fuel is running out. laura, thanks very much again for the

latest from westminster. laura kuenssberg. doris day — one of the biggest names in the history of hollywood — has died at her home in california, at the age of 97. the singer and actress starred in many popular films such as calamityjane and pillow talk, and in later life, she became a prominent campaigner for animal welfare. 0ur correspondent, david sillito, has been looking back at the career of one of the great stars of entertainment. # we'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon...#. doris day, cracking that whip in calamity jane. no one captures better good—natured ‘50s hollywood innocence. # whip—crack—away, whip—crack—away, whip—crack—away. . . # her romantic comedies were smart, glamorous box office hits. pillow talk with rock hudson won her an oscar nomination. you ain't the kinda gal who'd break a date. no, i'm not. and i ain't the kinda guy who'd ask you to. i had a great time, and i think that they sensed it. ihad fun!

and wear all the gorgeous clothes and work with rock hudson and jimmy garner and clark gable, you know. i mean, how bad can it be?! as a child, the young doris mary von kappelhoff wanted to be a dancer, but a car accident ended that dream. she then discovered she could sing. # so politely when we dance and you held me tightly #. in the late ‘40s, with her new stage name doris day, she was one of the highest—paid singers in the business. # when we walk hand in hand # the world becomes a wonderland, it's magic #. the film romance on the high seas was her first screen role and, despite almost no acting experience, the star quality was immediately obvious. but behind it all was a troubled private life. you can't tell me what to do! in a pig's eye, i can't!

you think you own me... this movie withjimmy cagney had echoes of the first of herfour marriages. # que sera, sera...#. her move into tv was the consequence of her third husband leaving her virtually bankrupt. fashions had changed, her movie career was over. # que sera, sera...#. in 1985, there was a reunion tv interview with a terminally ill rock hudson. but showbusiness was over. her life after this was devoted to her animal foundation. herfinal wishes — no funeral, no grave marker. her memorial will be herfilms. # que sera, sera what will be will be #. the hollywood legend doris day, who has died at the age of 97.

itv has suspended thejeremy kyle show, after a guest died shortly after filming. it's conducting a review into the relevant episode. the participant from the episode died a week after the recording. itv said everyone at the show was ‘shocked and saddened‘, it will not screen the episode, and said that both filming and broadcasting were suspended with ‘immediate effect‘. let‘s talk to our entertainment correspondent, colin paterson, in salford, where the series is filmed. 0n weekdays here, people can often be seen queueing up to join the audience of the show, and if you have never seen it, thejeremy kyle show is about feuding families, friends who have fallen out, thrashing out their problems in a tv studio withjeremy kyle as the moderator. a new episode was supposed to be on itv today, but at 9:25am, the continuity announcer explained there had been a change schedule. then itv announced that the —— that the jeremy schedule. then itv announced that the —— that thejeremy kyle show had been taken off the air until further notice. the reason, someone who had

been taking part in a recording had been taking part in a recording had been found dead a week later. that episode had not yet been broadcast and it never will be. itv have pulled all episodes of the show from their catch up facility the itv hub, itv2 will no longer show repeats and 0fcom, the tv industry regulator, have told us they are meeting itv with a priority given to that meeting to establish what has happened. now, that is very unusual because 0fcom normally only get involved after a programme has been broadcast, which really does underline the seriousness of the situation. many thanks again come up with the latest for us there from salford. an american explorer has carried out the deepest dive ever recorded in a submarine, in one of the most hostile places on earth. the mariana trench lies at the bottom of the pacific ocean. at its lowest point, it‘s nearly 11 km deep — almost seven miles. the explorer victor vescovo dived

to a depth of 10.9 km, when he reached the seabed. he spent several hours exploring the bottom of the mariana and discovered four new species. he also found plastic waste, including sweet wrappers — a worrying indication of the impact humans are having even in this remote location. 0ur science correspondent, rebecca morelle, has this report. 0k. roger that, we‘ll go for release. the start of an epicjourney. in the middle of the pacific, heading beneath the waves to the deepest place on the planet. a sub with a titanium core, built to withstand the crushing pressure. it takes three and a half hours to plunge 11 kilometres. that‘s seven miles down. inside is american explorer victor vescovo. then... touchdown. at bottom! cheering. it seemed a bit like being on the moon, but a wet version of it. there were small craters here and there, there were slight undulations.

there weren‘t rocks until you get to the southern and northern portions of the mariana trench, but it did have some variety. but it was quiet, it was peaceful. yrt in this most remote of places, life has found a way to thrive. there are eels adapted to live under immense pressures, and a ghostly snail fish. it‘s the deepest ever found. but signs too of our impact. this pyramid—shaped object to the right looks like a rock, but it‘s a plastic bag. scientists say finding out more about the deep is vital. it's such an alien environment and we've got so much to learn. you don't get sunlight penetrating to those depths, so it's important to learn, like, how organisms get their energy and how they survive, and how they interact and rely on each other. released by the us navy come these first films... few have ever set eyes on the mariana trench. the first risky descent was in 1960,

in a creaking sub that took two explorers down. well done, team! now, 60 years later, resurfacing after 12 hours underwater, the latest dive has broken records. well done. you did it, buddy. and it‘s part of a wider expedition to visit the deepest spots in all the world‘s oceans. the hope is the final frontier of exploration is truly open. rebecca morelle, bbc news. amar kanim spent 30 years believing he was an orphan, after a chemical attack in iraq. he suffered serious injuries and was brought to the uk in 1992 by the former mp emma nicholson, after rescue teams had told her that his entire family had died. but a bbc investigation has discovered that amar‘s mother is still alive. 0ur correspondentjon kay travelled with amar back to iraq, to see the family reunion. amar kanim is heading back to iraq, to be reunited with his mother.

30 years ago, he left the country as an orphan and came to live in britain. everyone believed his family had been killed in a napalm attack. this is the first time he‘s returned. extremely exciting, you know, i can‘t wait. it is a big day and i don‘t know if i‘m going to sleep tonight. amar is waiting. zahra is on her way, with her husband and youngest son. it was 1991 when amar was found alone, burned and close to death. his rescuers and doctors thought his family had all perished. but bbc news has confirmed that amar‘s mother survived the bombing after all. we tracked her down and proved the link with dna. the purpose of this journey is just purely for her, you know.

nothing else, just purely for the woman... my mother, shall i say now? i‘ve got to start getting used to saying my mother. it‘s hard to believe but, yeah, my mother. now, three decades after a terrible mistake in the confusion of war, a reunion. they speak arabic she calls him her brave lion, her superhero. so many years to catch up on. but mother and son soon relax in each other‘s company. and the arabic amar thought he‘d

forgotten is fluent. he shows her his life now, in rural devon... # happy birthday to you #. and videos of his childhood there. amar never knew his birthday. but zahra has his birth certificate, and he‘s three years older than he thought — almost a0. it‘s nearly your birthday. yeah. got a reason to celebrate now, haven‘t i? "i‘m so happy and so proud," she says. it turns out the ink mark on his arm is a family tattoo, to identify them if they were ever lost. and now, amar is found. "welcome home, son."

over the next few days, amar reconnects with his culture. i feel blessed. loads of sweets. i was very scared to come here at first. he speaks arabic there‘s no... there‘s nothing to be worried about. you‘re now speaking half arabic, half english. yeah. so it‘s very, very confusing. but it‘s amazing, it‘s amazing. it‘s overwhelming. the mp who first brought him to the uk and set up a charity in his name did search for relatives over the years, and now she can‘t believe what she‘s seen. it's an absolute miracle. i think it's fabulous. he's one of the bravest boys i've ever met in my life. i've always been proud of him, from day one. before he heads home, one more reunion — in najaf,

the world‘s biggest cemetery... where amar‘s father is buried. mother and son finally here together. all these emotions have been building up for years, you know? i feel like i‘ve achieved what i needed to achieve. the last couple of days has been the shortest day here, but i‘ve done what i needed to do, i think. thank you. amar says he will now support his family financially and will come back again to see his mum soon. ijust hope she‘s very proud of me. i get that feeling she is. this has been the best moment of my life. jon kay, bbc news.

a very special family reunion, jon kay reporting. a very special family reunion, jon kay reporting. newsnight is getting under way on bbc two.
