has been arrested by police in italy. he's considered the boss of the much—feared cosa nostra criminal organisation and had been on the run for three decades. the italian prime minister has hailed his capture as a major blow to organised crime. our security correspondent, frank gardner, reports. caught at last — italy's most wanted mafia fugitive, matteo messina denaro, had been on the run for 30 years. local residents in palermo thanked the police. they had tracked him down to a private medical clinic where he was being treated for cancer. for italy, this is huge. prime minister giorgia meloni flew down to congratulate those who helped catch him. "it's a day of celebration," she says. "and now we can tell our children "the mafia can be beaten." denaro was convicted in absentia for the murders of two anti—mafia prosecutors in 1992. the following year, he was implicated in deadly bombings in milan,

florence and rome. he once boasted he could fill a small cemetery with those he'd had killed. so why has it taken so long to find him? well, one reason is that only these very old photographs of him existed so police had to digitally age them in order to guess what he would look like today. now they have caught him, they have immediately circulated this up—to—date photo of italy's biggest mafia catch. he kept for 30 years all the secrets about the collusion between the mafia and parts of the state and the political class. in palermo and across much of italy, there is a collective sigh of relief. a notorious fugitive who seemed untraceable will now be facing justice. frank gardner, bbc news. british tv presenter and newspaper columnist jeremy clarkson says he's written to the duke and duchess

of sussex, harry and meghan, to apologise over a newspaper column in which he said he "hated" meghan. our culture editor, katie razzall, told us more. if you remember, there was outrage because he said he wanted to see her paraded naked through the streets and that he wanted excrement thrown at her. more than 25,000 people complained to the press regulator — it is investigating. so today, we had a much more fulsome apology. six pages on instagram in which he reveals that on christmas day he reached out to the duke and duchess to say sorry. far from accepting the apology and in an interview since, prince harry has suggested the column proved the couple's point about press bigotry. mr clarkson today writes he abhors violence against women, he is not sexist. he also says that amazon and itv were incandescent about what he wrote. of course, he is a popular tv presenter and there is a report in variety today that amazon, the streamer, plans to part company with mr clarkson next year, once the shows, clarkson's farm the grand tour, that it has already commissioned from him, have aired. my sources do dispute the variety story

but amazon have said it will not comment. the duke and duchess of sussex have issued a statement in response. they say, "while a new public apology has been issued today "by mr clarkson, what remains to be addressed "long—standing pattern of writing articles that spread "hate rhetoric, dangerous conspiracy theories "and misogyny." and it continues: lauren conlin is an entertainmentjournalist and host of the podcast lauren interviews. she joins us now from new york. thanks to being with us. good to see you. what you make of jeremy's apology?— to see you. what you make of jeremy's apology? yes, thanks for having _ jeremy's apology? yes, thanks for having me. _ jeremy's apology? yes, thanks for having me. do _ jeremy's apology? yes, thanks for having me. do you - jeremy's apology? yes, thanks for having me. do you are - jeremy's apology? yes, thanks| for having me. do you are think jeremy woke up that morning and read the article and said let me beat this woman it submission? i don't think that was his plan. it got completely out of hand. he got very confident in the fact that the

with her three sisters, her dad, giovanni, who was a furniture maker, and her mother, giuseppina. when the family moved to rome after world war ii, gina took singing and acting lessons, and was soon starring in italian films. she married milko skofic in 19119, but when she was spotted by hollywood talent scouts, howard hughes took a shine to her and whisked her off to america. he suggested that she divorce milko before she signed a studio contract, and when he got wind of that, he told her to sign or go home — so she went back to italy. gina became a household name in the 1950s after starring in herfirst english—language film, beat the devil, opposite humphrey bogart. a raft of great hollywood roles followed, including trapeze, the hunchback of notre dame... i am less afraid of you now. ..solomon and sheba, and women of straw. she courted controversy when she made a documentary

about fidel castro in 1975, and rumours of an affair between the two dogged the actress for years. when la lolla finally bid farewell to the silver screen, she turned her talents to photography and sculpture, and exhibitions of her work were held in paris, moscow, and the us. in 2013, she auctioned off her jewellery collection and donated the entire $2.9 million to stem cell therapy. gina lollobrigida, who's died at the age of 95. there is much more on all those stories on the bbc news website. you can go to bbc.com/news or you can bbc. com/news or you can download bbc.com/news or you can download the bbc news app. that's it from us here in

london. once very much your company. from all of us, we appreciate you watching and we will see you next time. bye—bye for now. hello again. i'm sure you'd agree, it's been a very bitter start to the new working week, but there have been some stunning, sunny skies with some snowy scenes around as well — that was overlooking skiddaw, in cumbria earlier on monday. but the other story we've been covering hasn't gone away either — we still have lots of flood warnings in force, the majority across stretches of the severn, the river avon, and for groundwater flooding in the south. and although we'll continue to see snow showers across northern and western areas over the next few hours, leading to icy conditions, actually with water still seeping from fields after our recent very wet spell of weather and a widespread sharp frost, temperatures minus three to minus seven widely. well, you can imagine the roads are going to turn very icy

heading into tuesday morning, so could be quite dangerous actually underfoot and under—tyre first thing in the morning. and, with temperatures down as low as minus 10 in scotland, freezing cold start — further snow showers piling in through the day across northwestern areas. so, really, it's northern and western areas of scotland across northern ireland, the north—west of both england and wales will be prone to seeing further accumulations of snow. modest hills could see another 5—10 centimetres in places. and after that cold, frosty, icy start to the day, even in the sunshine — which many of us will have a lot of — well, temperatures will struggle to get much above freezing. it will feel pretty bitter. more of that to come on wednesday as well. another cold, frosty, icy start to the day. could see rather more in the way of showers just clipping the east coast of england, and some heavier showers work across northern ireland into parts of wales and south—west england — probably hear more of a mixture, a bit of rain, a bit of sleet, a bit of hill snow mixed in, and temperatures just climbing to about seven in cardiff and plymouth — so signs that temperatures are very slowly starting to tick upwards.

by thursday, after a frosty and cold start again, showers will probably become more restricted to the north—east of scotland. otherwise, a lot of dry and sunny weather. but after, again, a freezing cold start to the day, temperatures climb this time to reach highs of maybe eight towards plymouth. otherwise, about 3—6 pretty widely. if you really don't like the cold weather, well, you'll have to wait till the weekend before we get something a lot milder, as south—westerly winds return across the country. with that, there'll be a lot more in the way of cloud heading into the weekend with a bit of rain around as well. but eventually, temperatures widely will be back into double figures.
