1:31 pm
not so windy right now in the south but we have some rain and it will become windier. you can see the rain making its way across the south with sleet and snow showers across the north as well. with operating wind, cold afternoon. in between, some decent spells of sunshine. taking the picture through the evening and overnight, that rain in the south slipping away with heavy —ish rain. showers becoming more prevalent further north, falling as snow over the pennines unsettling, lizard—like conditions. fairly unpleasant travel through this evening and overnight —— blizzard —like conditions. there could be some ice and frost on the morning. a chilly start and we are concerned about the strength of the wind. a very gusty start across
1:32 pm
northern ireland and northern england. we've got that key north—westerly. short lived because high—pressure is moving in tomorrow. for the morning rush pretty unpleasant, still wintry over the hills. blustery winds running down through the cheshire gap affecting the midlands, the motorway network in the north and west. showers are quite significant through the morning but they ease off in the west quite notably in afternoon. we may feel the 9 degrees here but for most of us feeling colder tomorrow with that strong wind. then come tomorrow evening and night days winds drop off significantly. the sky is clear, more cloud in the north and west but come wednesday, widespread rural frost under that ridge of high pressure. it will be with us for wednesday and probably thursday and much of friday before finally the next set of weather
1:33 pm
fronts arrive. they arrive with wet and windy weather due next weekend. for wednesday and thursday and most of us on friday, welcome dry weather with some sunshine initially but again, under those areas of high pressure we pick up some mist and fog. at least it is drier. a reminder of our top story. the prime minister has promised "fundamental" changes to the way convicted terrorists are handled following yesterday's knife attack in south london. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. kansas city chiefs have won their first superbowl for 50 years but they needed an incredible comeback in the final

quarter to beat the san francisco 49ers in miami. despite a shaky start, quarterback patrick mahomes lived up to his star billing, he scored the chiefs‘ first touchdown. the 49ers led by 10 points in the final quarter but that's when mahomes pulled it out of the bag, with two superb touchdown throws. they won 31—20. he took the most valuable player award, he also picked up that accolade for the whole nfl season and at 2a, he's the youngest player to win both it's amazing, it really is. you dream about this stuff when you're a little kid and ijust try to go out there and be the best person i can be every single day. i enjoy this every single day. i enjoy going to the facility. i enjoy watching film. i enjoy most of all the brotherhood a team builds and so for me, just to be here with these guys and winning the super bowl, it's amazing. and here's how it went down with fans watching back in missouri.

1:37 pm
at the us grand prix in california. we will be back with more sport after 2 pm. ollie foster. thank you. let's return to the shooting of a man by police, after he stabbed people in south london. sudesh amman was released about a week ago after serving half of his sentence of three years and four months for terror offences. we spoke to eyewitness dave chawner, who waited with one of the victims until the paramedics arrived. there was shouting and i think like anyone in that situation, there was anyone in that situation, there was a mugging, i am anyone in that situation, there was a mugging, iam going anyone in that situation, there was a mugging, i am going to go and help. i ran towards the person i could see running. there was more shouting. and then i heard what i thought was a car backfiring. and thenit thought was a car backfiring. and then it happened, multiple times.
1:38 pm
and i was kind of really confused by that and then i turned round and i saw three armed, plainclothes police officers pointing what at that point in timei officers pointing what at that point in time i thought was a taser at a person on the ground. it was moving around. and they were obviously in distress. and then very shortly, the police had to secure the perimeter so police had to secure the perimeter so told us to turn back and as i turned back, isaw so told us to turn back and as i turned back, i saw a trail of blood that was leading to a middle—aged man who was on the floor. bleeding. and was incredibly distressed. was obviously in a lot of pain. and wonderful people had already started gathering around. and i knew i had a blanket in my back whenever i go to the cinema, i always bring a blanket andi the cinema, i always bring a blanket and i pulled that out and we used that to stem the bleeding. but in the moment, there was too much to
1:39 pm
process , the moment, there was too much to process, to actually like, feel anything and you go straight into survival mode. like anybody would. right, there is blood, offers out coming from? there is a man, it's coming from? there is a man, it's coming from? there is a man, it's coming from that guy needs to be looked after, we need to compress the wound and make sure he is still conscious. so it wasjust the wound and make sure he is still conscious. so it was just ban, the wound and make sure he is still conscious. so it wasjust ban, ban situation, just making sure he is 0k. and situation, just making sure he is ok. and the horrible thing about those situations, selfishly and horribly, earlier on, isaid i was on the phone to my girlfriend. and that's relevant because i don't ci’oss that's relevant because i don't cross the street whenever i'm on the phone. and ifi cross the street whenever i'm on the phone. and if i had have crossed the street, that would have been me. earlier we spoke to a number of policing and security experts about how someone considered so dangerous could be allowed out of prison and back onto the streets. this wasn't a typical lone wolf attack, where someone out of the blue decides to go out and commit a terrorist act. this was someone known to the system, had been in the
1:40 pm
system until a few days before and was let out and then immediately had to be treated as a high priority risk. so there's clearly a need for a review. i'm not an risk. so there's clearly a need for a review. i'm notan in risk. so there's clearly a need for a review. i'm not an in legislation, i'm a little bit weary, usually of doing legislation on the hoof after one of these events but since usman khan, the fishmonger whole case, a really similar problem for someone let out ofjail, we need to look at the slow to make sure if there is a discretion, someone has a top ascendance, they are still a risk, there is the capacity to get them in jail. -- there is the capacity to get them in jail. —— fishmonger at all. there is the capacity to get them in jail. -- fishmonger at all. we know a lot more than we did yesterday, yesterday we got the impression this was a police officer who turned up and out with this but it turns out there was surveillance. we need to go back and see what lessons we learn from the attack three months ago with osman khan, two people were murdered. we were told there was going to be significant changes, doesn't appear to have been no significant changes sol doesn't appear to have been no significant changes so i think we need some kind of public inquiry, a
1:41 pm
review, certainly independent. that looks at the lessons that we can learn from here. because ultimately, we have individuals, notjust terrorism individuals but violent offenders, that are being released straight through, regardless of whether we have concerns. once they reach the 50% threshold of the sentence and i think what we need to be doing is making sure we are not releasing people that we have concerns about, the police as lord rickets said, police would not have put resources around this individual if they weren't concerned. so we have this bizarre situation, common sense seems to have disappeared, an individual we have concerns about its release, we then spent tens of thousands of pounds on surveillance of this individual and even then, we still manage —— he still manages to injure two people. we need to get prisons and probation service better equipped to deal with these people because what we have here,
1:42 pm
psychologists providing information, which isn't fit for purpose. they are doing a greatjob but it needs to be updated with the other expertise we have in interrogations, in persuasion, that exists in the police, that exists in intelligence services and so on. so we need to update that capability. and also need to consider, through an inquiry, it doesn't have to be a public inquiry which takes a lot of time, an independent inquiry, based on the principles of accident investigation, quickly determines the cause. what processes were at fault here. and i think we need to look and consider the option of some form of positive vetting before people like this are allowed out onto the streets. with an indication they want to harm the public, i don't think we can any longer allow them out until we have a positive assurance that they are no longer going to be a threat. the latest from streatham in the wake of those attacks yesterday.
1:43 pm
a united nations flight carrying critically ill patients has left yemen heading for jordan and egypt. the un is calling it a major breakthrough after two years of difficult negotiations between the saudi led coalition — which controls the airspace — and houthi authorities in charge across northern yemen. a total of 30 patients and their carers are flying from the international airport in sana'a to amman and cairo over the next few weeks. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is in sana'a. kidsjust being kids. but some are critically ill and now they have a fighting chance to live. after months of waiting in this sana'a hotel, 13—year—old ragid hopes to be on one of the first us flights to jordan. her family travelled from taizz, a divided city, shaken by war. best doctor... wow! her father tells me she's
1:44 pm
the smartest girl in her class, but there something she doesn't know — cancer consumes her body. i don't want to tell her. because if she knows... may be something... everything will be changed for her. if she stays in yemen, as the doctor said, both legs will be amputated. amputated? yes, both legs will be amputated. sometime she says i did not want to... my father to... are you worried about you? about myself? yes. i love her only. yemen's only cancer hospital.
1:45 pm
these children aren't on any list to leave. not ali mohammed, who lost an eye. not six—year—old mutheya. his father says his son can't sleep at night, he is in so much pain. doctors stop making lists long ago. they lost hope they would ever be a flight, but they don't have what they need to treat patients here. of course, this makes doctors angry, when we can't give the best treatment or if the doctor loses his patient. this is so disturbing. it's not normal. sometimes, i feel depressed. we can't provide some of the treatments, we don't have the equipments because of the blockade. patients should not be affected by the war. we were taken to sana'a international airport and houthi leader mohammed ali al—houthi, takes the stage. a deserted departures hall.
1:46 pm
to attack the saudi led coalition controlling yemen's airspace, stopping civilian flights. there is more than three years of dust in this hall. the saudis proposed a way out, divert a civilian flight through another airport, to search them. but for sa na'a, sovereignty trumps everything. translation: this airport has its own security procedures. that means civilian air planes cannot carry weapons. there are satellites and they have their own spies on the ground. and they know if there is any movement in sana'a airport, they can prove it with photos. an airport can seem so ordinary, but for so many yemenis, it has come to mean so much. students can't fly home, families are divided, patients can't get medical care abroad. and for the critically ill, the airport blockade
1:47 pm
has been nothing less than life or death. a city of the dead. this man's father died waiting for a liver treatment, waiting for a flight. he tends his grave every week. translation: for two years, they kept promising he would travel on a un flight. we had everything ready. this war has destroyed everything. many patients have died, just like my father. a merciless war. these first flights, a gesture from warring sides. for some, too late. for many others, a glimpse of hope. lyse doucet, bbc news, sana'a. an independent inquiry is expected to call for major
1:48 pm
changes in the way private hospitals supervise doctors, after hundreds of women were put through unnecessary operations by a rogue breast surgeon. john maguire has been speaking to victims of the convicted surgeon, ian paterson, ahead of an inquiry into his malpractice, which will be published tomorrow. ian paterson is serving a 20—year jail sentence after carrying out hundreds of unnecessary operations on women and men, preying on theirfear of breast cancer. most often, there was nothing wrong with them. i went for surgery, but not only did he operate on the one side of my breast, the right side, he took a big chunk out of my left side that i had no idea he was going to do. so, i woke up plastered on both sides, to be quite honest. all i remember is waking up and seeing what i looked like afterwards. and it was just horrible. i was so upset.
1:49 pm
paterson operated for a second time on cheryl ten years ago, he left serious and lasting scars, both physical and psychological. "hate" is a big word, but i dislike him. i'm sad for what he has done to me, i'm sad for what he did to my mind, if i'm honest. i have no peace of mind. even now i still worry. it is unnecessary, i should be enjoying my life, but it is still in the background. judith eva was also operated on twice, years apart, both times, the surgery was entirely unjustified. i thought it was dreadful. when i realised, i couldn't believe it at first, because he seemed such a nice, charming person, and i thought he was looking after me, going to help me if there was a problem. and then i started to feel
1:50 pm
quite angry, the fact that somebody had done this to me when it didn't need to be done. he had used a toxic, but highly effective, combination of charm and arrogance to deceive his employers, colleagues and patients. and i think probably a lot of other people as well thought he was, you know, very nice, very kind person, a bit ofa hero, really, because he saved people. but as it turned out, the things he did, it's unbelievable, i think he's just an evil man. i don't think how many times you try to reason why he did this or did that, i don't think you would ever be able to understand why somebody could do that. almost 800 victims shared compensation worth £37 million from the spire private hospitals and the nhs trust where ian paterson worked in the west midlands. linda millband has
1:51 pm
represented the vast majority of patients, and says red flags about the surgeon were missed. i think there were opportunities for everybody. there were very poor appraisal systems in operation, he went for quite a number of years and didn't have a proper appraisal. there were also opportunities to carry out audits at a much earlier stage, which weren't followed up and had they been, i think the matter should have been referred to the gmc. had that happened, i think he could have been suspended at least a couple of years earlier. whether paterson was motivated by money, blind arrogance, or a desire to play god, only he knows. the hospitals say measures are now in place to better protect patients. and tomorrow's independent inquiry report tomorrow will seek to ensure that no—one will be able to cause so much harm, so much suffering, to so many people ever again. john maguire, bbc news, birmingham.

cities in parts of europe have been suffering from some of the worst air quality in the world and winter smog has become a big issue in the western balkans. serbia has the highest rate of pollution—related deaths in europe, according to the global alliance on health and pollution. guy delauney reports. filthy weather has descended on the western balkans. pollution levels have soared in cities across the region. face masks may offer some personal protection for those in smog shrouded places like bosnia's capital sarajevo. as for neighbouring serbia, forget about seeing the sights of belgrade, because when it comes to pollution, the picture here is even uglier. belgrade has hit the number one spot on the international air quality indexes. several times this winter, and that is not a cause for celebration. rather, it is a warning that breathing the air here is measurably bad
1:53 pm
for your health. citizens of serbia are more likely to die of pollution —related causes than anyone else in europe. serbia is at the top of the most recent survey in december with 175 deaths per 100,000 people. europe's next worst, georgia is some way behind on 1li0, followed by bulgaria with 137. in fact, only eight other countries worldwide have more serious problems than serbia. serbia suffers from disorganised traffic. it is kind of a huge problem regarding air pollution here in serbia, notjust in belgrade. the authorities say belgrade's streets carry 80,000 more cars than they did five years ago. and many of those are older, less efficient models rejected in wealthier parts of europe. getting more people on bikes would help but safe cycling paths like this are not
1:54 pm
widespread in belgrade and riding in smog isn't exactly pleasant. i avoid cycling when the pollution gets really high, and i do check the pollution levels on certain days, and then i decide if i'm going to cycle or not. but if we could get more people on bikes it would really help decreasing the pollution in the city. industry, power and heating add to the pollution. so, a quick fix to this chronic problem seems unlikely. but serbia needs fresh thinking to give people a chance to breathe. guy delauney, bbc news, belgrade. the world war one film ‘1917‘ was the big winner at the bafta film awards last night, taking home seven prizes in total. annita mcveigh spoke to the entertainmentjournalist, caroline frost about the awards and the success of 1917. with all the controversy around this awards season, i think it's really satisfying that a film that nobody
1:55 pm
would dispute is worth going to the cinema to see, has done so well. i think it's obviously caught wind as well, i think this will take sam mendes is all the way through perhaps to the oscars next sunday but yes, sweeping epic of a film on the scale of something like david lea n the scale of something like david lean of old. i think there is only a handful of directors given the tools to such a big budget, crew, epic mission and he clearly has the drive to see it through. all props to him. big wins in the acting category for renee zellweger and joaquin phoenix, does not auger well for their chances? they haven't dropped the ball, brad pitt and laura dern, they are the big four and again they have caught this winter. i think people love films about films, they love films about film stars, there is a slightly slurred of introspective quality to all of this but renee zellweger, i think people have watched her career, previous oscar winner, but she's been away from the screen, screen winner, but she's been away from the screen, screen for winner, but she's been away from the screen, screen for quite a while so for her to come back and give a heart—warming, clearly committed
1:56 pm
performance of judy garland, heart—warming, clearly committed performance ofjudy garland, people love the story ofjudy garland and they feel attached to her in renee zellweger. a lot of layers to her appeal going forward to the oscars next weekend. and joaquin phoenix? similar, he's spent years as the outsider, rebel of the hollywood industry. and yet he has somehow slipped seamlessly into the elder statesman status. again, joker was the leading nominee going into the ceremony last night but was always going to be him on which this film was pinned and yes, he scooped up everything so far. of course his comments on diversity which was the subject we talked about when you are in talking to me about the bafta nominations. have been really picked up, unsurprisingly, as well as of course, prince william ‘s comments. graham norton as host mentioned, prince william putting that sort of royal, serious, grown—up stamp on it. i think you could avoid talking about it, it was the elephant in the room, continues to be, we saw it last night, satisfying list of
1:57 pm
winners but there were some omissions from the list going on and joaquin phoenix was quick to say he felt quite discomfited about picking up felt quite discomfited about picking up his felt quite discomfited about picking 9 felt quite discomfited about picking up his gong when so many people don't have the opportunities he's had in the industry. so i think it's an ongoing problem. but to have promised a review. everyone will be watching the oscars, not quite so white this year, they got the memo in years gone by so let's now see, everybody has talked the talk, let's see some real change. let's look at the weather with helen willetts. good afternoon. wind will be the main hazard in the next 2a hours, severe gales forecast around this deep area of low pressure in the north, pushing on lots of showers. to the south this with a front meandering around into southern areas, ringing limiting sunshine and also some rain, some quite heavy rain for a time through the channel islands and particularly, stopping the sunshine asi particularly, stopping the sunshine as i say. but given the fact got some strong and gusty winds, don't feel particularly worn out and but as that weather front steps to the
1:58 pm
south through this evening and overnight it allows showers to become more prevalent. low pressure moves in. it means the wind strengthens with snow over the hills in scotland, also the pennines, blowing around in the gales or severe gale force winds, obviously it's going to be quite nasty if you are travelling. severe gales with gusts in excess of 70 miles an hour could cause some disruption, not just overnight but also tomorrow morning. given the strength of the wind, it means frost should be largely limited but also, we've got the wintry showers coming down so there will be some icy patches where we see snow falling. this area of low pressure starts to move out into the north sea for tuesday but you can see tightly packed isomers coming down from the north and north—west. the windy warning certainly for many of us across northern england, northern ireland, scotland, down through the cheshire gap as well, coming into the east anglian coastline. gradually easing through the day. shower activity also tending to ease through the day but you can see there will be some showers pestering eastern areas, the
1:59 pm
west are faring better with sunshine. they will see the wind easing further. although nine or ten tomorrow it will feel markedly colder because of the wind, very windy start to the day. through the evening and overnight the load moves into the low countries and we will see a little more cloud toppling into the north—west, high—pressure building, the wind lighter, cold night, widespread frost in the countryside by the time we get to wednesday at dawn and that's because high pressures moving in. scenes a very windy weather to start the week but then along through wednesday, thursday, and for some of us are different friday as well before the next weather system starts to move in. which means again some decent spells of sunshine. some light winds, time to get out and about but we will see increasing amounts of morning fog and of course, the night—time frosts. as ever, the warnings on the website. goodbye.
