given herfragile mental state. today the chief prosecutor said he felt there was probably little choice. undoubtedly, they felt they had enough. they had a 999 call recording. they had body one camera from the police. they would have had medical evidence and other evidence. they have to take the message of abuse seriously because we as a country have said we should take domestic abuse seriously when you have three quarters of a million reports to police every year, 75,000 prosecutions. 0nly10% of those reports and in a prosecution. i20 people are murdered in domestic homicide situations and we keep telling them that if they had intervened earlier, maybe somebody wouldn't have suffered even more serious harm. so they are doing what we asked them to do. the role of the press and social media has also come under scrutiny. a petition calling for action has been signed by more than 200,000 people. meanwhile, tonight, love island will return to oui’ tonight, love island will return to our screens with a tribute. a

them home. american cruise passengers leaving japan this morning after nearly two weeks confined to their cabins. the uk government says it sympathises with all those left behind on the coronavirus hit diamond princess. but it hasn't made up its mind whether it's going to remove british citizens. it prompted this response. it feels that we have been forgotten, that you don't really ca re forgotten, that you don't really care about us and that you're actually not wanting us to come home. that's how it feels. in china's hubei province where the outbreak began, pristine hospitals primed for new arrivals are shown on state tv. but unverified video shared on social media shows a health system struggling to cope, with patients treated in corridors. another casualty of this crisis looks set to be the most important political event in china's calendar. communist party officials want to

postpone next month's yearly parliament session in beijing. the prospect of 3000 mainly elderly delegates catching and spreading the virus is a big concern. there are fears over the further spread of this virus in many places including here in hong kong, where more than 50 cases have now been confirmed. it has led to the panic buying of food and other things like hand sanitising gel and bleach. 0vernight, the police say armed robbers stole more than 600 rolls of toilet paper. back in her bay province, doing the daily shop is not an option. 60 million people have been told to stay indoors. 0nly one member of the family is allowed out every three days, chinese officials insist such measures are needed to defeat this killer virus. nick beake, bbc news, hong kong. the travel restrictions imposed due to the coronavirus outbreak are having an impact

on the tourism industry here. there were around 400,000 visitors from china last year. but popular places visited by chinese tourists such as bicester village in 0xfordshire are starting to feel the pinch. our trade correspondent dharshini david reports. the birthplace of sir winston churchill, and a stunning example of baroque architecture. blenheim palace, just outside 0xford, would normally attract 50,000 visitors in february, but this time, demand is down as travel restrictions in china hit. in the last two weeks, it has been quite significant. this would have been a busy period for chinese new year tourism. we expect across february to lose about 5,000 chinese visits. that would be about 10% of our natural february audience. it's a similar story in the historic university town a few miles away. it's the blend of heritage, culture and access to luxury shopping that makes this area so attractive to chinese tourists. over 400,000 visited the uk last year.

that's dropping sharply. 0ne company here told us it typically sees 50 customers per week from china for its walking tours. now, it's not seeing any. even bicester village, a popular shopping spot for tourists looking to avoid high import taxes on luxuries at home, feels unusually quiet. while its owners refused to comment, retailers here confided that sales are down sharply, with poor weather not helping. 2 million people across the uk rely on tourism for a living. the virus that's exerting a high human cost thousands of miles away is having a considerable financial side effect here. dharshini david, bbc news, 0xfordshire. the french foreign minister has said he expects the uk and the european union to "rip each other apart" in brexit trade talks due to begin next month. the british government wants to secure an agreement by the end of year, butjean—yves le drian has warned the target will be

difficult to achieve. translation: on trade issues and the mechanism for future relations, which we are going to start on, we are going to rip each other apart. but that is part of negotiations. adam fleming is in brussels for us. rip each other apart — that is not the most diplomatic language! definitely not the kind of language the eu likes to use in this process, where they tried to be a bit more su btle where they tried to be a bit more subtle and a lot less bloodcurdling. but it's worth looking at what is actually happening at the moment. the negotiations with the uk haven't even started yet. what is happening is that they are writing michel barnier‘s mandate, the detailed set of instructions that will be given to their chief negotiator. in private, france is leading a small group of countries who are trying to get that language toughened up so that there are more constraints applied to the uk in return for that

big, ambitious free trade agreement that both sides say they want to do. we will see what they end up with when the mandate is published and approved, officially probably in the middle of next week. that how eu approach of being tough at the uk and applying those constraints is going to be rejected tonight in a speech in brussels by david frost, the prime minister's chief brexit negotiator. the man on the other side from michel barnier. he will say the eu is being much tougher on the uk than it has been onjapan, south korea or canada when they got trade deals, and that is just not fair from trade deals, and that is just not fairfrom a british perspective, to which the eu will probably say fairness has got nothing to do with it. adam, many thanks. the time is quarter past one. our top story this lunchtime... hundreds of flood warnings are still in place after storm dennis brings misery and travel chaos across the uk and coming up, pebbles on the beach — except these ones are made of plastic.

coming up on bbc news: harry gregg, survivor of the munich air disaster, has died at the age of 87. he was one of the busby babes at manchester united and won 25 caps for northern ireland. it's 18 years since more than 200 people were killed in bombings on the holiday island of bali, many of them british. a local militant group with links to al-qaeda carried out the attacks. well, since then, the indonesian authorities have been trying a unique programme of deradicalisation, which includes victims coming face—to—face with attackers. as part of the bbc crossing divides series, rebecca henschke has gained access to one such meeting. garil‘s father was a taxi driver, waiting here in the heart of bali's tourist district when the huge bombs exploded. this, his car afterwards.

now, with his mother, he is about to meet one of the men responsible for killing his dad. ali imron is serving a life sentence. his brothers were executed for the bali bombings.

they talk for over an hour, and something extraordinary happens.

rebecca henschke, bbc news, jakarta. the united nations says the latest government offensive in syria has displaced more than 800,00 people since december, 140,000 of them in the last few days alone. it's created a new humanitarian crisis in syria, as temperatures drop to below freezing point. our world affairs correspondent paul adams has been looking at how some families are trying to survive. government supporters are ecstatic. president assad's troops making significant gains near the northern city of aleppo, taking in a matter of hours ground that's been contested for years. with russian help, the government's momentum seems relentless. and as the troops advance,

civilians retreat in vast numbers. in neighbouring idlib province, the roads are clogged with fleeing people. 850,000 displaced injust two and a half months... ..leaving deserted, shattered towns behind them. this is kafr nabl, once home to 40,000 people, now a place of ghosts, its citizens long gone. in ground not yet taken by government forces, displaced people settle and live where they can, winter now adding to their misery. um mohamed is struggling to keep herfamily warm and fed. in the hills along the turkish border, it's safe, but freezing. translation: we're suffering from the cold. we used to have a comfortable life in the past, and look where we are now. we can't even afford wood for heating, but we still thank god almighty.

the family has moved twice in recent months. each time, the fighting has caught up with them. with her daughters and granddaughter, um mohamed sits and waits, knowing that in time, they may have to move again. the camp is isolated, one of hundreds now dotting the landscape. getting aid to these places is a challenge. husam is a local volunteer, salting the road to try and keep it open. translation: the situation inside the camps is grim now. usually, there is some activity and life inside the camps. roads are open and food and heating reaches people, but after the latest snowstorm, everything now is extremely bad. the un says the cold is now its main concern. more than half of those on the move are children. some have died. the situation in idlib has been catastrophic for years, and it's still getting worse. paul adams, bbc news. a new kind of pebble

is being found on beaches from canada to cornwall, made entirely of plastic. scientists say it's a new form of global pollution: plastic pebbles that contain toxic chemicals which could enter the food chain. jenny walrond reports. 0h, there's a bit of plastic. it's easy to find plastic washed up on beaches, but not all of it is obvious. this is interesting. this is actually plastic. it looks like a rock. no way. yes, it's plastic. artist rob arnold has been collecting so called plastic pebbles from beaches in cornwall to use in sculptures, and he's not short of material. well, they might look like pebbles, but they float, so clearly they are not. what i want to know is, what they are and where they come from. tests on the pebbles we found showed the plastic had been burned and contained toxic chemicals

such as lead and cadmium. it suggests they come from plastics manufactured in the i980s or earlier. this is an unusual piece of pyroclastic. — —of pyroplastic. it has been colonised by tube worms. by colonising the plastic comedy tube worms are potentially able to accumulate, and the chemicals live in the plastic, and therefore, those chemicals will enter the food chain. there are a number of theories about where it's coming from including people burning waste and dumping it. another is that it's down to coastal erosion of landfill sites. a study from queen mary university of london highlights 1264 in england that are at risk of flooding and coastal erosion. the defences will fail and you'll potentially have former landfill either eroding out onto the foreshore or leaching the water. alongside that, there is a potential impact on human health, depending on what's in the sites we are talking about. there currently a government review into flooding and coastal erosion policy, looking at,

amongst other things, what to do with old landfill sites. and while the plastic continues to wash up, rob is still out beach cleaning. what are you going to do with them? i'm going to make a piece of artwork. it's going to be like a rock monster. jenny walrond, bbc news. there is more on that story on inside out this evening. a leading cancer charity is calling for a ban on sunbeds, after it emerged many tanning salons in england don't need a licence. the subject is one close to the heart of bbc reporter laura may mcmullan, after she was diagnosed with a malignant melanoma five years ago, following years of sunbed use. two weeks ago she had her final scan, and has been declared cancer—free. she has this report. a bronzed, healthy glow.

but in reality there is no such thing as a safe tan. for years, i was addicted to sunbathing and using sunbeds and was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in 2014. i don't think people realise how dangerous melanoma can be. it starts with a mole or, in my case, a little red spot on the back of my leg. within six months it had spread to the lymph nodes in my groin. anthea smith was also diagnosed with melanoma. it started with a little spot on her ear and for her it has led to life—changing surgery. my whole left ear has been amputated and then, second operation, i had my whole inner ear, middle ear, all my salivary glands on my left side, all my lymph nodes, full temple bow taken from my skull.

——full temporal bone taken from my skull. like me, she used sunbeds for many years. nobody should have to live with what i am living with, all for a tan. the guilt that i feel to my husband and children that this was all self—inflicted but it was self—inflicted with no level of knowledge of the dangers. so people younger than me continue to use them, i think, not knowing any of the dangers. melanoma cases have increased by almost 50% in the last decade but it seems people are still getting mixed messages. that is why gillian nuttall, founder of melanoma uk, has launched a campaign to ban sunbeds. we felt that we owed it to families of patients who have passed away to actually get up and do something so we took the lead from australia and brazil, they have already banned sunbeds, and we thought, you know what, we're going to do what our patients are asking us to do and see if we can do the same. i took these concerns to the sunbed association. let's be clear, there is no link between sunbed use and melanoma. we have asked for a roundtable

meeting to discuss this very point. they won't meet with us. i have to question why. the research they refer to is flawed, it has been proven to be subsequently flawed, and they won't listen to that and we have to say, why not? you are saying that oncologists, consultants, dermatologists all around the world, they are all wrong? what i'm saying is, they are all using the same research which itself is flawed. the evidence linking sunbed use to melanoma and other skin cancers is incontrovertible. there is a clear link, there is no argument to say that there isn't. according to cancer research uk, more than 86% of skin cancer cases are preventable, with an overexposure to uv rays causing irreversible damage. laura may mcmullan, bbc news. you can see the full story

on inside out west midlands tonight at 7:30 on bbc one, and of course, on the iplayer. harry gregg — the former manchester united goalkeeper who became known as the hero of munich — has died at the age of 87. harry gregg was one of the busby babes on board the plane that crashed in 1958, killing many of his manchester united teammates. he survived the disaster, and pulled several people out of the wrecakge — including a mother and baby and his teammate sir bobby charlton. our sports correspondent katie gornall reports. and a great save by harry gregg. harry gregg was happy to be remembered as a competitor under footballer, but to many, he was so much more, a man with qualities that far beyond the football pitch. —— qualities that shone far beyond. the

story of the dreadful disaster... on the 6th of february, 1958, a plane carrying 44 people crashed in munich. 0n carrying 44 people crashed in munich. on board were the manchester united team returning from a european cup tie. somehow, harry gregg survived and twice returned to the burning fuselage to drag team—mates and strangers, including bobby charlton, to safety. for harry gregg, the shocking death toll would have been much higher. -- but for harry gregg. i know i was very fortu nate. harry gregg. i know i was very fortunate. i could do without it, but i was there. there was a lot more people, and i was one of the lucky ones. harry gregg returned from munich being hailed a hero but mentally scarred by what he had seen, and there was no time to rest and recuperate. just 13 days after the disaster, he was back playing, spearheading a united side that would reach that season's fa cup final, and testing his resilience to

the limit. a goal by lofthouse. remarkably, after this, he carried on. the same year, he went with northern ireland to the world cup, and was later named the best goalkeeper in the competition. and harry gregg, despite his injury, in great form. today, the many to pay tribute included his former team—mate, bobby charlton, who said: sir alex ferguson added: harry gregg spent nine years at old trafford, cementing a legacy as one of united's and northern ireland's greatest goalkeepers. munich, he said, always cast a shadow over his life. later, he found solace in poetry. there are those who had gone down that long, long road before us,

but we try to keep them
