associations, but he said "unfortunately that was not possible." in his first speech about his fee future last night he said he was sad it had come to this but said it was a sign of the pressures he was feeling that he chose to step back, from all he had ever known in search of a more peaceful life. our royal correspondent‘s report contains some flash photography. he is still on official duty. this morning, harry was the royal presence at a british government summit on africa, a continent he cares deeply about. are you looking forward to the next chapter, sir? he had a meeting with the british prime minister and several african leaders. it seemed like business as usual, but, of course, it wasn't. last night, at a private dinner for sentebale, the hiv charity he co—founded in southern africa, he relaxed with friends and explained the decisions he's made about his future. it was very personal, it was very harry. i want you to hear the truth from me, as much as i can share, not as a prince or a duke but as harry, the same person that many of you have watched grow up over the past 35 years but now with a clearer perspective. the uk is my home and a place that i love. that will never change.

he recalled that, at the time of their wedding, he and meghan were excited, hopeful and ready to serve, but the pressure of public scrutiny had been too much. he wanted to find a way to combine continued service with greater freedom and it was a matter, he said, of great sadness that it had come to this. our hope was to continue serving the queen, the commonwealth and my military associations but without public funding. unfortunately, that wasn't possible. i've accepted this, knowing that it doesn't change who i am or how committed i am, but i hope that helps you understand what it had come to, that i would step my family back from all i have ever known to take a step forward into what i hope can be a more peaceful life. it's14 years since harry set up the sentebale charity in lesotho

in tribute to the work of his late mother. it combined his love of africa with his natural affinity for young people. the charity's leaders, who heard harry speak last night, say they've no doubt he will continue with his work. whether he is called the duke, hrh or whatever, orjust harry, as he said last night when he spoke as harry, he can shine a light on this issue and do a lot of good for us and for the children that, you know, our charity tries to serve. a period of transition has begun. harry and megan must work out their new life and the rest of the royal family must adjust, too, to official life without them. the duchess of cornwall was visiting a hospice in swindon. will you miss harry and meghan? of course. in seeking a new life, they are taking a leap of faith, as harry put it last night. it may well be more challenging to him that it will be for her, which is why the door is being left open, just in case it doesn't work out.

to this but said it was a sign of the pressures he was feeling that he chose to step back, from all he had ever known in search of a more peaceful life. our royal correspondent‘s report contains some flash photography. well we will talk now to the former liberal democrat mp norman baker, the author of a critical book about the author of a critical book about the royal family. it the author of a critical book about the royalfamily. it is the author of a critical book about the royal family. it is called and what do you do. hejoins us the royal family. it is called and what do you do. he joins us from westminster. what are your thoughts then on the future of harry and meghan and how they affect the public purse? they are both attractive and likeable people, but ultimately, you had to be either in the royal family on the balcony watching the planes go by and opening hospitals or you had to be out of the royal family. you couldn't be one foot in and one foot out. the situation is a mess. he cannot don't use the brand sussex royal. the word royal is protected and is closely guarded and it can not be used for commercial purposes. the issues about security are

unresolved. we have a potential situation where by security cost also rocket if we have people from this country, police officers travelling across the canada or the us to protect harry and his family, so us to protect harry and his family, so he dropped a bombshell and the repercussions haven't settled down. are you saying harry and meghan should pay for their own security? if they are private citizens is and not carrying out royal duties that isa not carrying out royal duties that is a logical decision. we don't expect posh and becks to secure money from the public purse for their security. harry and meghan are not poor people. they are worth at least 35 million between them, so they can afford for that if they need to have it. what about receiving money from prince charles' private duchy of cornwall estate? that is a contradiction in term, it is not a private estate, it is a public asset. if prince charles wa nts to public asset. if prince charles wants to use his own money to help harry and meghan, that is a good thing for him to do and that is up

to him. but the duchy of cornwall is not an asset, a property company that should be used to bail out harry and meghan. it is not a private estate. it is a public asset, and it is wrong to call it a private estate. but they have, harry and meghan have bent over backwards, for example to repay, they have said they will repay the renovation costs for frogmore cottage at windsor, nearly 2.5 million worth. they are making efforts to repay what they feel they should repay, to the taxpayer. yes, they have done that, thatis taxpayer. yes, they have done that, that is right. the issue now comes to asi that is right. the issue now comes to as i say down to who is paying for security, and travel, and secondly, whether or not the statement from buckingham palace, that there are no public funds to be usedis that there are no public funds to be used is accurate. because if prince charles pays harry from the duchy of cornwall‘s money, that, he will be precedent and what he has done before, he will try to off set it

against tax, that means he will reduce his tax liability and reduce the money going to the treasury, so there is an indirect subsidy to harry. i think prince charles should come out and say publicly, that he will not seek to use any source of money that will constitute a reduction in tax liability for him. i suppose, all this is as we have heard, upfor i suppose, all this is as we have heard, up for review in a year's time. these are early days, because, you know, there have been a lot of intensive talks but this has been thrashed out quite quickly l yes it has, i hope for their sake they have a more peaceful life to use harry's word. i hope he is able to move forward in a way they find conducive. they are a pleasant couple, but they have to realise they have taken a step out of the royalfamily, they have taken a step out of the royal family, and that is a step out of public subsidy, and out of the benefits of being in the royal family bring, that is a hard lesson. harry i am afraid want tots have it

both way, he wants the benefit of being in the royalfamily both way, he wants the benefit of being in the royal family without the responsibilities. thank you norman baker. and we'll find out how the latest in this royals story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages. at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are anna mikhailova, who's deputy political editor at the daily telegraph, and the broadcaster, david davies. one of britain's oldest department stores, beales, has gone into administration, after failing to find a buyer. the chain, which began trading in bournemouth in 1881, employs about 1,000 people in 23 stores. it's understood that none of the shops will close immediately and it will continue trading for the time being. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. beales. it's been on this same spot for nearly 140 years. a cornerstone of bournemouth‘s high street. and also in other provincial towns, from bedford to beccles in suffolk

and southport in merseyside. but beales failed to move with the times. it's very sad, it's part of our childhood. you know, we both grew up locally and it's always been here and we work locally and it was somewhere we came frequently. but we haven't been for a long time. i think it's another nail in the coffin for bournemouth high street because once a store like this goes, who's going to take it? this business was losing money and looking for a buyer. then christmas brought all its long—running problems to a head. beales is the first big casualty of weak festive trading, but it was also grappling with high rents and huge business rates bills. it's another sign ofjust how much pressure our retailers are under, especially these big department stores. just a few doors down, there is a house of fraser. the question is, do we still need as many as we used to?

department stores are not going to be wiped out completely but there are going to be far, far fewer of them and that reflects shopping patterns and the changing economics of retailing. it's getting much, much harder to operate a department store profitably. take debenhams. it's already closed 19 shops this month. house of fraser will also be shutting stores. our high streets are changing and many will have to adapt to survive. beales will continue as normal, for now, as administrators assess all options. could a buyer come to the rescue or has this business really had its moment in the sun? emma simpson, bbc news, bournemouth. sto s to have hs2 could cost up to £106 billion. that is more than three times its original estimate and that is

according to a review commissioned by the government. the report which has been seen by the financial times also recommends that work on the second phase of the railway which links birmingham to manchester and leeds should be paused for six month, to consider a mix of conventional and high speed lines there instead. here is our transport correspondent. here is our transport correspondent. packed in from birmingham to leeds. a high—speed line would cut thejourney time in half. but the fate of hs2 is in the balance. where i live, we will probably stand to gain in term of property values, so i should be a supporter of it, but i still think it's too much money. who wants to travel at a slower pace when you can get to where you need to go quickly, more efficiently? itjust makes complete sense to me. there is not even a spare seat on this midday service between two major english cities. it tells you why the suggestion that the second phase of hs2 should

be put on hold for several months while other options are continued is proving very controversial. that suggestion comes in the latest leak of a government review of the project and it has angered politicians in the midlands and the north of england. we are seeing the benefit in leeds of the promise of hs2 coming here, businesses wanting to relocate here and that greater connectivity notjust to london. the idea that this is just about travel to london is absolutely ridiculous and needs nailing right now. at euston, where hotels and office blocks once stood, the site is clear. the project has made progress, but the cost keeps on going up. the budget for the project five years ago was £56 billion. last summer, that rose to 88 billion, but today's leaked report adds almost 20 billion to that. a total of £106 billion.

huge amounts of work, costing £8 billion, has already been done. but a growing number of conservative mps, including some newly elected in the north of england, have nowjoined calls from those whose constituencies are directly affected. they all want the prime minister to rethink. i think we can build a very strong case to the prime minister that says scrap hs2 and spend some of the money instead on northern powerhouse rail, on east—west rail in my constituency, on other transport infrastructure projects that will make a positive difference to people's lives. everyone agrees that links to cities like leeds have to improve, but constructing a new railway is a long—term project. they've been working on hs2 for years. now the government has to decide whether high speed with a high price tag is part of the answer.

tom burridge, bbc news in leeds. borisjohnson has suffered three parliamentary defeats in a row this evening. his first since the general election as his brexit bill goes through the house of lords. peers backed a cross—party agreement to the withdrawal agreement, to allow eu citizens physical proof of their right to live in the eu, rather than the digital proof proposed by the government. the prime minister then lost two further votes, both over the future relationship of the british courts with the eu. it means the legislation will have to go back to the commons, where the prime minister should be able to use his very large majority there, to push it through. isa it through. is a look at the headlines now. now. now. prince harry has been making his disappointment clear about his and meghan‘s future. beales has

collapsed into administration putting 1,000 jobs at risk. the transport secretary has asked for more data before making the decision on hs2 as it merges it could cost £106 billion. now the sport. well it has been described as the biggest scandal in domestic rugby union. saracens the most dominant tea m union. saracens the most dominant team in the premiership relegated next season after repeatedly breaching the premiership's salary cap. this has become a head ache for england head coach eddiejones, he named seven saracens player in his squad for the six nations. 0ur sports editor has more. #12 saracens players formed the core of the england team that reached last year's world cup final

but the club now finds itself plunged into turmoil. despite the cheating scandal that engulfed the champions, eddiejones today named seven of their stars in his six nations squad. and, today, the england coach told me the image of the game can recover. it's been a difficult time. they've obviously made some mistakes, saracens. and now is the time to fix it, but ourjob is to make sure people remember the good things about english rugby so we've got a great opportunity against france to put rugby back on the back pages for the right reasons. despite finding out they'd be automatically relegated from the premiership at the end of the season after repeatedly failing to comply with the league's salary cap, saracens managed to win a crucial european match yesterday. the squad will now be dismantled, some of these players will be sold, others face the prospect of life in the division below butjones has faith they can handle the crisis. others face the prospect of life in the division below butjones has faith they can handle the crisis. you sign for a club with a perception of what's going to happen and then then gets taken away, so it's a difficult time but if we can solve this problem and relationships get stronger because of it, because the binding factor for all the players is they all want to play

for england, they are all desperate to play for england, they want england to win. so that is a unifying force. today's england squad announcement here at twickenham was all about trying to look ahead towards the new international season, but the club game finds itself in the grip of an unprecedented crisis and with premiership rugby refusing to publish the full report into the affair, many fear there could be more damaging revelations still to come. the lack of transparency doesn't end there. saracens apparently choosing to accept automatic relegation rather than grant full access to their financial accounts. i think if saracens are serious about becoming open and trying to sort of claw back some of the goodwill or whatever you want to call it, then they need to make this public, they need to get all the dirty laundry out there and i think that will go some way to letting people start to forgive them. the dominant force in the english game, saracens' dramatic downfall has sent shock waves through the sport. their players must somehow now shift their focus from club

to country but moving on from the sport's greatest cheating scandal will not be easy. dan roan, bbc news, twickenham. cricket, both england coach and captainjoe cricket, both england coach and captain joe root cricket, both england coach and captainjoe root have heaped praise on the youngsters following their victory over south africa. needing four wickets to win it looked to be a quick morning session when three fell very quickly. 0lly pope taking his sixth catch of the match. england were kept waiting, but despite a tenth wicket stand he was last man out. england take a 2—1 lead in the series. next up johannesburg for the fourth and final test. success for british number one dan evans on day one of the australian 0pen. he lost the first set against mckenzie mcdonald but recovered to

win the next three and reach the second round. kyle edmunds match was called off due to the bad wetter. the women's british number one johanna konta didn't even make it on the court. she has done it again. new season, no grand slam for coco gauff who beat venus williams just as she did at wimbledon. she did it again in straight sets, this time 6-6, 6-3. and the again in straight sets, this time 6—6, 6—3. and the tournament favourites have started well. naomi 0saka favourites have started well. naomi 0sa ka and favourites have started well. naomi osaka and ash barty and serena williams are threw as is djokovic and federer. iwill williams are threw as is djokovic and federer. i will have more for you in sports day at 10.30. the director general of the bbc lord hall is said he is standing down after seven year, he said he wanted his successor to be able to lead it

through a formal review in two years time. let us talk to our media editor who is here with me now. quite a surprise he is going? editor who is here with me now. quite a surprise he is going7m was. i spoke to a friend of his this morning and the expectation among his social circle and senior directors was he would stick round until 2022 which is when the centenary until 2022 which is when the ce nte nary of until 2022 which is when the centenary of the bbc comes. seven yea rs centenary of the bbc comes. seven years is a long time in a demanding job. it is one of those jobs that gets tougher by the day because of the wider technological context in which the bbc operates and i think the bbc‘s braced for an enormous fight really, especially with a new fresh government which has a majority and which has issued warnings about the future of the bbc. he feels that is a fight someone bbc. he feels that is a fight someone else should take on i think. before we get to what the next director—general will have on his place, how would you assess his seven year, what have been the highs and lows if you like? he has been a pretty effective director—general at

a time when he has probably had the ha rd est a time when he has probably had the hardestjob of a time when he has probably had the hardest job of anyone a time when he has probably had the hardestjob of anyone who has been in that post. there are three distinct chapters to his raina. he took over the bbc in a really profound sense of crisis, following the revelation overjimmy savile, the revelation overjimmy savile, the bbc‘s huge failings when it came to the conservative peer lord mcalpine and there was a lot of noise saying the bbc can't go on. he did it effectively. people asked for him to come back and he was a safe pairof hand. the him to come back and he was a safe pair of hand. the second chapter there were questions about where he whether he was effective. 0ut there were questions about where he whether he was effective. out of the negotiation with the coalition government was the bbc being co—omitted into welfare policy, whether it might have to look at paying for some of the free licenses, and publishing salaries. a lot people think he should not have concede. the third chapter has been tried to reshape the bbc to suit the

digital age, take on the likes of netflix and spotify and on that he has done more than people give him credit for, bbc sounds, iplayer, he has merged bbc studios and worldwide, so i think while in a second phase he would have wished he has done a few more things differently but in the third phase he has been a forward looking director—general. he has been a forward looking director-general. you mention netflix and so on, that has questioned the need for the license fee. borisjohnson questioned the need for the license fee. boris johnson has questioned the need for the license fee. borisjohnson has questioned the niece for the license fee, that is the huge thing on the agenda for the next dg whoever it s is the huge thing on the agenda for the next dg whoever it 5 indeed it is. 2027 it will be the end of a long conversation starting in 2022. the next director—general will have to have a hell of a fight. they will have to be a tough negotiator, they will have to go to westminster and say to a conservative majority government, #ared by people who have said albeit in the heat of election campaign there is is a question about the license fee, they will have to make that case, they is why

we have to a licence fee. commercially they will have to find a way of while keeping the license fee raising the money, somehow, commercially to be able to compete in the world of netflix and amazon and disney. as a result of the publy casing of the salaries, there was lots of grievances over equal pay, the broadcaster samara ahmed won her employment tribunal and there are other cases in the pipeline this is a supremely difficultjob, you are chief executive, you have commercial responsibilities, you are understood iffed by the license fee and you have to be supersound and you have to understand what young people want. applications are open! i am sure the director—general, i am sure the board of the bbc will be keen to hear. i will get my application in now! all right. thank you. let us talk about this to professor robert bev ridge, a former member of

the bbc audience council in scotland, it provides the bbc with views on the needs of audiences. professor of media policy now. thank you for being with us. how do you read the director—generalship of tony hall, do you think it has been a successful time? well, tony hall, do you think it has been a successfultime? well, every director—general needs three things, luck, courage and judgment, director—general needs three things, luck, courage andjudgment, and i think tony hall has had all three. he was lucky when he became director—general because as was pointed out, this was after the saville scandal, and george entwhistle have been to retire early. he has had courage, we need to remember that in 2015, tony hall made a decision not to renew the contract made a decision not to renew the co ntra ct of made a decision not to renew the contract ofjeremy clarkson. this was absolutely the right decision, in tune with bbc values but it cost the bbc a lot of money and we should remember that tony hall and his family received death threats because of that, and that was obviously a signal as to where the

united kingdom was going in terms of populism. then lastly in terms of judgment, as was pointed out, there are issues around the license fee and that is going to go on for a number of year, i think he should have done more and the board should have done more and the board should have done more to close down the equal pay issue and just meet the legitimate demands of the bbc‘s female staff. so how do you see then, the charges of whoever takes overin then, the charges of whoever takes over in six months‘ time, this summer? well, you have got to get ready for the review that will take place, there is perhaps going to be a new secretary of state as well, be the big thing is, as we all know, the big thing is, as we all know, the over 75s license fee concession. i think the bbc should not allow the government to force that on them, thatis government to force that on them, that is social policy, that is not creative industry‘s policy, the license fee was not designed for that, but the bbc therefore needs to marshall support across the uk,

north in order to ensure they don‘t have to endure a 20% cut in their budget which would devastate not only the bbc but also the independent production companies that make programmes for the bbc. independent production companies that make programmes for the bbcm tend, on that and on the next license fee settlement, isn‘t the bbc ina license fee settlement, isn‘t the bbc in a relatively weak position in terms of negotiating with a government that has a massive commons majority and borisjohnson can pretty much do what we wants? well, it may seem that it in a weak position and people love the bbc and the bbc is good value for money, and i think that there is widespread public support for the bbc and as i say that should be marshalled. public support for the bbc and as i say that should be marshalledlj think there was a recent opinion poll that suggested fewer people than previously support the license fee, because of things like netflix and so on, amazon, they are watching those in large number, and it‘s a generational issue as well. that is

the problem for the bbc that young people are not necessarily watching their programmes in the same numbers that older people are. well, it is an example in the new bbc scotland channel, and tony hall deserves credit for that and the audience figures for that indicate it is managing to reach those hard to find younger viewers and listeners. and how do you see then, the future of the bbc, you think it is rosie do you, you think the bbc will get a licence fee settlement in 2027 despite what borisjohnson said, that needs looking at, that may not be sustainable? think about it for a moment. the bbc was founded as a company in 1922, became a corporation in 1926, we are coming up corporation in 1926, we are coming upfor corporation in 1926, we are coming up for 100 years of the bbc‘s existence, and in many ways the bbc is britain, and given enormous social technological cultural economic changes, the license fee

model has worked for decade after decade after decade. why would we get rid of something that has been successful. maybe because fewer people are not watching television any more 01’ people are not watching television any more or not watching tv on television, it is a very hard thing to put a tax on, if you like. well, the audience is fragmenting, but if you look at the bbc‘s reach statistics, of course you don‘t get the 20 million that you used to get for morecambe and wise and so on, but look at sherlock, look at shetland. the bbc does reach audiences through radio, online and television and threw streaming across the world and also —— through, and also across society as a whole, and people like to know the bbc is there, even if they don‘t watch it every evening, it, what used to be called peak time they do used to be called peak time they do use it and they certainly use the

beak online news and they watch the bbc news channel with you. of course they do, in huge numbers. thank you. that is very good of do you talk to us. 0n the bbc news channel we will check out the latest weather with louise. hello. it has been a promising start to the week, with lots of sunshine around and staying dry. now the story remains the same, except we will see more nuisance cloud and so sunshine will become more limited. that is because high pressure is drifting off into the south—west. we have a weak weather front at the moment, it has brought cloud and light drizzly rain into the far north—west. that continues through the night. further south we see the clearest of the skies in east anglia, anywhere south could see temperatures againjust anglia, anywhere south could see temperatures again just below freezing. mist and fog could be an issue, some of it dense, slowly lifting to low cloud and eventually conditions should brighten. the best of the sunshine, eastern england, eastern scotland with cloud and

again light rain, ten or 11 degrees here, but if the fog lingers they may struggle further south. from wednesday on wards as i say, not that much in the way of significant rainfall but it will be a cloudier story, but just that touch rainfall but it will be a cloudier story, butjust that touch milder. milder. take care.

hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. prince harry has made clear his disappointment at the outcome of royal talks about his and meghan‘s future. beales, one of britain‘s oldest department stores, has collapsed into administration putting more than 1,000 jobs at risk. the transport secretary has asked for more data before making a decision on hs2 as it‘s emerged the new high—speed rail link could cost £106 billion. tony hall is to step down as director general

of the bbc in the summer, after seven years in the role he‘s to become chairman of the trustees at the national gallery. a murder investigation is under way in northeast london after three men were stabbed to death last night. two men have been arrested. let‘s get more on that story, those stabbings in london. the police saying that they believe all the men from the local sikh community are known to each other, two people have been arrested. a report from our correspondent dan johnson. a been arrested. a report from our correspondent danjohnson. a sunday night on e. london st and three bodies lie in the road. the latest victims of the worst violence, knives pulled in a fight that ended right outside people‘s homes for some this man heard the disturbance just before eight o‘clock some eight o‘clock and he tried to save lives.

there was a knife on there, on the shoulder and the chest and the head was damaged by the hammerand... all the hand was scratched by the knife. there was another two bodies laid there, both getting cpr on them. police running all over, ambulances running all over, people running all over. it was like something out of a horror movie. it was horrible. it's a fight involving two groups of men, we believe those men from the sikh community. the result of the fight which involved the use of knives was three people were fatally wounded and despite the best efforts of paramedics on the scene, they were pronounced dead at the scene. so an absolutely tragic event to take place here. such violent killings have spread unease through the community. the local council leader lives around the corner. this is why people are still reeling from the shock, it‘s because there is no explanation. normally you can think about drugs or something else, but this is completely out of character. this is a large crime scene and there‘s a lot for the police to examine here. there are also a quite few

people who witnessed the aftermath of this incident, and there is footage of bodies in the road, which has been uploaded and shared on social media. that is very graphic video, much of it too upsetting for us to show. how can this happen on the steps? london‘s mayor felt people‘s frustration here, because some say they have reported anti—social behaviour and called for more cameras. but detectives say the men involved knew each other and there is no wider threat. however, they have much more work to do to understand what prompted such a sudden, violent incident with such deadly results. danjohnson, dan johnson, bbc news, danjohnson, bbc news, seven kings in london. 0ne danjohnson, bbc news, seven kings in london. one of britain‘s oldest apartment store chains beales is monitoring ministration. let‘s talk more about the fate of

beals. with alison edgar. thank you for talking with us. what has gone wrong? for me it is actually the changes happened at the wrong time. i always advise to change on the way up, not the way down, and the way retailers are actually buying goods has changed. at the high street has not moved on with that. in the words ofa share, not moved on with that. in the words of a share, you can‘t turn back time, you‘ve got to evolve and move forward. these things should have been happening long time ago. —— in the words of cher. it hasn't moved with the times? if you look at the technology and the younger generation, they show up online all the time. in one click you can have something delivered to you the next day. we know major retailers across the world and that is the problem that as the old style shopping there has been a decline of the demographic and they have gone off the other end but they are not catching that younger demographic. whatever a high street store like macro to do, are they doomed and if

more people are shopping online, thatis more people are shopping online, that is an irresistible kind of rifle. —— stores like beales. that is an irresistible kind of rifle. -- stores like beales. is a common issue between the clicks and the bricks. if you have a good online offer and again you look at some of the other like nick‘s for example, they have a good combination of a good website, and good sales, good times, and you can ta ke good sales, good times, and you can take that back in an exchange. they are doing 0k? from my perspective again, they work towards a good retail model... not everybody in the high street is doomed, is that when you are saying quit so i represent a lot of small businesses and they come in with different angles... may be quirkier things you can‘t get everywhere. maybe more craft base. looking at them as a small business, they will attract some footfall to they will attract some footfall to the retailers in the high street but i think the days where the big names we re i think the days where the big names were drawing the trains to come in,

those days aren‘t there any more. the chief executive of beales has been talking about the lunacy of high business rates and also saying that local councils have just not done enough to support stores like beales. would you agree with those criticisms? he is saying local authorities really don‘t care about high street stores. he is putting the blame on business rates and councils in parts at least stabbing her there is to extend, there are issues around the business streets and how much they charge. but if you look at what over the last 12 months, retailers drop the price is really quite quickly. they are not getting the high on margins what they were getting for. with that, to me it isjust an they were getting for. with that, to me it is just an excuse. i they were getting for. with that, to me it isjust an excuse. i think it is there, if they held the margins but if you get it cheaper online, why wouldn‘t you ? but if you get it cheaper online, why wouldn't you? aren't we as a country losing something if our high streets are going to fall apart like this, if we are going to lose all

these big stores like beales and so many others in recent years?|j these big stores like beales and so many others in recent years? i think again it isjust how many others in recent years? i think again it is just how we shop. we cannot make people shop in a way that they don‘t want to. so if you look at the demographic, the people who are quite cash rich are the older generation. so, they still are in there. but what you‘ve got is the younger generation aren‘t up and up s0 younger generation aren‘t up and up so they‘re not going anywhere near the high street. therejust so they‘re not going anywhere near the high street. there just waiting literally for the man to deliver the parcel in the next day. are we going to see more cavities like beales? in my opinion, yes. gloomy tight macro gloomy commode gloomy prospect. alison edgar, business adviser and author. the government says it will begin naming the owners of high—rise buildings who‘ve been slow to remove dangerous cladding the grenfell tower fire. work is yet to start on 157 residential buildings with the same type of cladding identified as a factor in the grenfell fire. the government will also appoint a construction expert to review the time it‘s taking to make buildings safe. there are particular concerns

about the pace of work on private properties. the international monetary fund has slightly lowered its forecast for global growth in its new assessment of the world economic outlook. the forecasts for the uk are however unchanged. the imf expects the british economy to grow by 1.4% this year and 1.5% in 2021 assuming there‘s an orderly exit from the eu at the end of the month followed by a gradual transition to a new economic relationship. police in scotland are equipped with new computers which can examine mobile phones, tablets and la pto ps examine mobile phones, tablets and laptops without the need for password. so—called cyber kiosks allow for specially trained staff to access data on devices to see if it is relevant to their investigation. but the move has been controversial with concerns about privacy. 0ne human rights groups as sufficient safeguards are not yet in place.

here this report. a couple years ago i witnessed a road rage incident and recorded a violent incident between two drivers on my phone for someone i offer that to police, they said there had to take my device with me for several months. under a new process large today here at warburton, stirring sure and fife, that whole process could be speeding up. my phone returns much more quickly and police investigations more swiftly too. what we would do is plug it into the advice —— into the device and give it the opportunity to intensify subway called a cyber cast, this is supposed to look at data on mobile devices to see whether they are evaded with investigations. as have look at the m essa 9 es investigations. as have look at the messages then. we have two whatsapp m essa 9 es messages then. we have two whatsapp messages that tells us the participants. this is culturally --, an initial look at what a device

holds. the data isn‘t stored on the computer but if it is on evidential value, the device can be sent for a full forensic examination. currently police are analysing 1,000 devices a month this system will ensure fewer searches offering quicker reassu ra nces to searches offering quicker reassurances to the investigation stop with the triage gives us that fund mental capability to confront if that evidence is there we can get that information to a victim or witness. yes that we have found something that could establish the report. also it gives us the opportunity to move these investigations on quicker because of the critical information. the crown 0ffice the critical information. the crown office has that it is satisfied for legal safeguards of the system but human rights chris says the water needs tightening. the data held on mobile phones is farther than that you may find in a filing cabinet, in a briefcase in someone‘s house. personal data is data that bless other people. very sensitive data, specific data and personal to that person, and so currently, we have

safeguards to go and search our houses. we have not got sufficient safeguards to go and search our mobile phones. it's hoped the full network of cyber kiosks will be operational by early summer. the number new computers which can of people infected with a new virus in china has tripled over the weekend, with the outbreak spreading to the capital beijing. more than 200 people are known to have been infected with the bug, which causes respiratory problems. japan, south korea and thailand have also reported cases. the sharp increase in infections comes as millions of chinese people prepare to travel for the lunar new year celebrations. in the last few moments the world health organization has said it will hold an emergency meeting on the outbreak later this week. 0ur medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. it‘s official. china‘s mysterious new virus can pass from person to person. health authorities there are urging the public not to panic.

most cases have come as a result of direct contact with animals, but human—to—human transmission means this virus is potentially a far bigger threat. the outbreak centres on the city of wuhan, population 11 million, where the source is thought to be a seafood market. 170 people in wuhan are being treated in hospital. several are critically ill and three deaths have been confirmed. there have been a handful of cases of the virus in south korea, thailand and japan, all travellers who had come from wuhan. the infection is a new type of coronavirus, which originated in animals. although person—to—person transmission has been confirmed, it does not, thankfully, spread easily. signs of infection include breathing problems, fever and cough. now, it is the height of the flu season, meaning it‘s hard to know initially what infection patients have.

hundreds of millions of chinese are expected to travel over the coming week to celebrate the lunar new year, making further spread inevitable. at train stations and airports, temperature scanners are being used. some airports in the united states, singapore and japan are screening travellers and some experts think that may eventually need to happen here. i think the uk authorities need to start thinking about introducing introducing some screening for passengers who are coming from china. the most obvious thing to do would be to institute some sort of thermal screening, so that we identify people who have got a fever, but that could be supplemented with some questionnaires. the outbreak is a reminder of the sars epidemic, also caused by a coronavirus, that killed nearly 800 people worldwide nearly 20 years ago. then, there was an initial cover—up by the authorities.

this time, global health officials say china has learned from past mistakes. it may be weeks or months, though, before we know how big a threat this new virus poses. fergus walsh, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news. prince harry has made clear his disappointment at the outcome of royal talks about his and meghan‘s future. beales one of britain‘s oldest department stores has collapsed into administration, putting more than a thousand jobs at risk. the transport secretary has asked for more data, before making a decision on hs2 as it‘s emerged the new high speed rail link could cost £106 billion. an update on the market numbers for you here‘s how london‘s and frankfurt ended the day. and in the the united states this is how the dow and the nasdaq are getting on. both up.

thousands of gun rights activists marched to protest against proposed new firearms laws the us state of virginia. earlier, the state‘s governor declared a state of emergency and banned all weapons from the area directly outside the state‘s capitol building in richmond, over fears about safety. the measures proposed by the democrat—controlled house would limit the number and size of the guns people can buy in the state. 0ur north america correspondent aleem maqbool spoke to protestors about why they attended the rally. there were those fears because they‘re all these firearms rights militias that would be here. we saw some of them, we spoke to some of them, but it was still in spite of the fact that there were thousands of people actually a very peaceful protest. they came, they gathered around

here outside the state capitol, you can see a lot of it is cordoned off. there are barriers because nobody was allowed with their weapons on the capitol grounds. but what was unusual about today was to see so many people on the streets of richmond who had their weapons openly on them, whether it was handguns, or whether it was rifles. we have a couple of the people who were attending today who travelled long distances to get here. first bradley who is from louisiana. bradley, you‘re wearing, you are carrying this weapon. that‘s perfectly legal for you to do here. nobody is talking about it not being legal for you to do. so, why did you feel you needed to come today? well, today is a big milestone, a very... i should say... a very important day. this is ground zero as many of the reports have been saying. it‘s like a virus with gun control. if you don‘t stop it

at the source, it‘ll bleed out and it‘sjust an infection. the things they‘re talking about are things like only allowing a person to buy one weapon a month. what is the problem with that? it‘s infringement on second amendment rights. bottom line. and if you don‘t have your second amendment rights if that‘s the first to go, what‘s next? and we also havejustin here. you‘ve come from illinois. you drove hours to get here. what is the message you‘re trying to give? the message i'm trying to get at is the government overreach in the last say roughly 100 years in the united states has been getting worse and worse on the national level and the state level, both. and at some point... how is it infringing your rights when you are able to walk around with rifles like you are? for example, one of the laws they're trying to pass in virginia like they have in my home state

illinois is red flag was where they don't have to use due process, they don't have to charge with a crime, they can still take your firearms away from you. there have been people killed in maryland because of red flag was... just quickly, if it does save lives, isn‘t worth having some of those laws, some of those controls? the issue is it doesn't lives. it actually hurts peoples lives. as nick freed us was saying, the state senator from virginia, there was a state senator from virginia, there wasa girl going state senator from virginia, there was a girl going to college in virginia here had a concealed carry permit and instead of caring at the school, because she was not allowed to, she decided to leave her gun at home and ended up getting raped. 0k, all right. we‘ll bradley think very much indeed. we have heard arguments like that all through the day. people here very angry and wanting to send a message other states trying to introduce gun—control measures however small that they wa nt to measures however small that they want to stand for it. that report from virginia. illegal migration in small boats across the channel will

continue to be a challenge for law enforcement bodies. according to the national crime agency. it says that gangs based in france are working together to smuggle people into the uk, and have developed their tactics to evade detection. last year, more than 1800 migrants made it across the channel, mainly in inflatable dinghies. colin campbell is in dover. welcome to dover, a gateway into europe for trade and for passengers but in the last year, it is also become a landing destination for hundreds of migrants who have been trying to get across the english channel in small boats. it is the national crime agency that is at the forefront of investigating the smuggling gangs that are behind much of it. they say it is going to be a big challenge to try to stop the bus heading in this direction. a dinghy full of migrants arrives on a kent beach. it‘s summer. they‘ve just crossed the english channel. in 2019 boats made their way here every month. on occasion, ten

launched simultaneously. from french beaches. there is some evidence of a surge tactic and it‘s a possibility they think if they make a large number of departures on a particular day, at least some of them are more likely to get through, some of them are more likely to evade law enforcement, french law enforcement on the french coast. a dangerously overloaded dinghy taking on water. in 2018, i witnessed the start of the crossings. it is a desperate race to try to get to the uk for these people. we also exposed the criminals drumming up business in french migrant camps. it will cost you £3000 to £11000. the national crime agency say there is no evidence of a mr big controlling the smuggling operations but sometimes migrants organise it themselves. unable to afford to pay smugglers, masoud did just that. the former iranian canoeing champion bought an inflatable kayak in calais and paddled across the channel.

the big storms were coming and the ships and the waves the english channel can be a treacherous stretch of water. last year more than 1800 migrants reached the uk in small boats. of that number, around 125 were sent back to either france or other european countries. the majority coming across the sea are from iran and in 2019 63% of iranians were granted asylum on their first try. many more winning on appeal. a spike in arrivals in the summer prompted tough talk from the prime minister. we will send you back. the uk should not be regarded as a place where you can automatically come. but some claim it‘s empty rhetoric.

they are going to make this journey. the people we are seeing coming across on boats have extremely good asylum claims. they are likely to be successful. the national crime agency admits stopping the boat remains a big challenge. they are confident numbers will produce and it will get easier to cross after brexit. —— and it won‘t get easy to cross after brexit. the national crime agency say they are trying to prevent the small boats heading in this direction by trying to cut off the supply of the outboard engines and the inflatable dinghies to the criminal gangs which are based in northern france. they say they are trained to do that working with the french police, the dutch police, and the belgian police to try and reach out to the retailers and suppliers of the equipment to try and ensure it doesn‘t fall into the wrong hands. this morning, 12 migrants we re hands. this morning, 12 migrants were rescued in a small boat by a french patrol ship. inside that small boat were two women and a

child, all was said to be suffering from mild hypothermia. they were taken back to france at around ten past nine this morning but were also to be safe and well. lester tragically three people lost their wives trying to get to the uk in small boats. —— last year. lost their lives was at the national crime agency fear that could be further for tower teas in 2020. collin campbell reporting there for some throughout the day, bbc news is working tight macro covered more in immigration for subbing and find out more by going to the website on the screen. down with the new in—depth bbc briefing guide which provides extra context, data, and evidence all in one place. we have a full weather forecast coming up for you ina weather forecast coming up for you in a moment. up before we find about the weather prospects here, but stick a look at these pictures in from canada. they we re these pictures in from canada. they were filled by a newfoundland resident who recorded the front of his house being covered in more than eight feet of snow. the storm swept

across the east coast of canada. several towns across newfoundland and labrador had to make an emergency declaration. nearly 80 cm of snow fell, a copy by 80 mph winds. wow, look at that. —— a copy by 80 mph winds. as promised him a look at the weather here now. good evening. monday morning, the start of frosty and foggy for some but that lifted and allowed for a bit of a sunshine by day leading into some stunning weather watcher pictures being sent in as the sons darts to set for that this was norfolkjustice atmospheric despite the cloud around across northern now, it looks as though high—pressure would dominate in the next few days but it will start to drift its way south and west allowing more cloud generally to move its way in across the country from wednesday onwards. but for the here and now it is business as usual. more moisture up into the far north—west continuing through the

night. quite a lot of quiet through scotla nd night. quite a lot of quiet through scotland and northern ireland but there will be clearer skies... we could see temperatures just below freezing. there will be mist and fog around as well. certainly worth bearing in mind if you‘re up and off early. tune into local bbc radio station for traffic and travel problems. it is likely the fog will be most dense across south wales, south—west ignorant to clear across the m4 corridor, a busy route you first thing particular in the morning for —— hope we and to lift into some brighter skies. 0h we some sunshine aloud. the best of sunshine north for england, and the far north—west of scotland, still having useless to make her nuisance range... particular if the fog lingers for the south and west. high—pressure still with us as we move towards wednesday. that weather front reckoning introducing more atmosphere into the that might more

significant rain forecast through the middle part of the week. nuisance drizzle into the north and west because of the cloud, those temperatures perhaps a tad milder in the south. the cloud will stay with us the south. the cloud will stay with us through thursday and friday but again, no significant rain in the forecast until we start to head towards the weekend. signs of change towards the weekend. signs of change to come with a high—pressure drifting away now, that will allow weather fronts to push in from the atla ntic weather fronts to push in from the atlantic and he return to some wet and windy weather as we move towards the weekend. so, hopefully you can make the most of the next few days. windy into the weekend but the case of sunshine and showers turning colder in the north.
