and we'll talk like this tomorrow, yeah? _ during filming, james norton told me he prefers it when all the episodes don't drop at once. it was always the kind of water—cooler show. i was actually shooting a different show at the time and coming to set, with the show having aired the night before, was a great experience, because most people had watched it, everyone had something to say about it. # in this troubled town... # and in hebden bridge, people had plenty to say about it. how do i think it's going to end? er. in murder _ well, ithink it will be happy, yeah. hopefully! ann could kill him at the retirement do. we don't know, do we? we've no idea! we find out on sunday. colin paterson, bbc news, hebden bridge. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. not think that dramatic in this

corner of the studio, but a story in two parts, the weekend weather, it starts with a lot of cloud but a mild feel. it ends on sunday with something a little bit chillier but much brighter. but certainly right now we have got a lot of cloud out there, that cloud actually thickening up enough to produce drizzle, some mist and murk of a high ground, limited clear breaks. but with that cloud cover, temperatures not dropping too far, 6-9 , temperatures not dropping too far, 6—9 , so i really might start to saturday morning, but a cloudy start for most. if you look closely at the map, some breaks appearing in the cloud, there will be some spells of sunshine, but equally, for northern ireland and scotland, this band of rain pushing in from the west, eventually with something brighter following on behind. 9—12 degrees. but as the band of cloud and rain sinks further south and east during tomorrow night, the rain will weaken but we will start to introduce

something colder behind this cold front. at the same time, though, an area of high pressure builds in, quite a big, strong high, so we will be in the cold air, a frosty start for some on sunday morning, but with that high pressure in place, sunday is looking like a much brighter day. remember when you look at the maps and you do not see cloud, that is where we are expecting sunshine, plenty of it, may be some cloud dancing across the northern isles, may be in the far south—west of england, but otherwise sunny skies overhead, and these temperatures a little bit lower, but in the sunshine feeling fairly nice. through next week, a lot of dry weather, some sunshine, patchy fog, the greatest chance of any rain in the greatest chance of any rain in the north of the uk. pete. and that's bbc news at ten on friday 3rd february. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with faisal islam, which isjust getting under way on bbc two.

the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are, but from the ten team, it's good night. good evening. i'm rebecca would end here's your latest sports news. chelsea's british record signing enzo fernandez made his debut, but it didn't help the side secure three points in the west london derby. it was another debutant who almost gave chelsea the lead. david fofana rounded fulham's bernd leno, only to see his effort blocked by tim ream. a "penny" for todd boehle�*s thoughts might not be the right expression after their expenditure in january. graham potter's side stay below fulham in the table but move up to ninth, nine points off the top four. but potter feels the club is on the right path for the long—term. i can right path for the long-term. i can see the profile, _ right path for the long-term. i can see the profile, in _ right path for the long-term. i can see the profile, in terms - right path for the long-term. i can see the profile, in terms of - right path for the long—term. i can see the profile, in terms of the age. they are ready to compete now, but i believe they will get better and better, so that is exciting for

us. and again, to work with the players already hear any players coming back from injury, we feel you have got a good group of players, a very strong above players, so we need to gel and become a good team and that is where the work is. manchester united manager erik ten hag says he wants his side to focus on matters on the pitch, ahead of tomorrow's match with crystal palace at old trafford. it's after one of the club's players mason greenwood had all criminal charges against him dropped. greenwood denied the charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour. he'd been due to face trial in november this year and said he was "relieved". manchester united say they'll "conduct their own process" before deciding what to do next. this was ten hag's response when asked for a comment about greenwood at his press conference earlier. no, nothing. i can add nothing. i refer to the statement of the club. have you ever spoken to mason, . or met mason, and will you be part of the process that -

manchester united...? as i said, at this moment, i can't give comment about the process. and have you ever spoken to mason? i can't say anything about it, i refer to the statement of the club. at this moment, i can't add anything. uk athletics is calling for a change in legislation to ensure the women's category is lawfully reserved for competitors who are recorded female at birth. it comes after world athletics proposed allowing transgender women to compete in female international track and field events with suppressed testosterone levels. our sports correspondent alex capstick has more. this follows a review by uk athletics of the participation of transgender women in the female category. it began back in 2021 and they have concluded that it isn't fair for trans women to compete in female events. they say the suppression of testosterone doesn't remove

a physical advantage gained by athletes who have gone through male puberty. they are also unsure whether it's safe for transgender women to take testosterone su ppressa nts. which will include men and athletes of all sexes, while the female category will be protected and restricted to only athletes who were born female. but there is a problem looming, they say — the chairman of uk athletics says he fears they would lose any legal challenge, and they want to change the british equality laws because of the gender recognition act, which allows people with gender recognition certificates to be allowed to be treated as females for all purposes, and that includes sport.

now, some have said the 2010 equalities act addresses that issue and it does allows for the protection of the female category in sport, but clearly uk athletics are not convinced by that. in a statement, the lgbtq+ campaign group stonewall say... meanwhile, fair play for women say... ukraine's top female tennis player and olympic bronze medallist elina svitolina is calling for sanctions on russian and belarusian players to continue. the ioc is under pressure from the un to not discriminate against athletes and allow them to compete under neutral flags,

but svitolina doesn't agree. i don't think that the neutral flag is changing so much anything. for me, it's more about, we should sanction as much as possible the people from russia and belarus, because their government is doing severe things in ukraine. unfortunately, we cannot choose some who say, we are against the war, and some are for the war, because they are wearing z on their chest. so, in this, unfortunately we cannot choose, but we have to do it. we have to sanction them all, because this is the only way that can stop the war. former england cricketer

matthew hoggard says the yorkshire historical racism investigation and disciplinary process has failed everyone involved, including azeem rafiq. hoggard, who's facing four charges from the england and wales cricket board, has withdrawn from the process. rafiq first made claims of racism at yorkshire in august 2020 and later called english cricket "institutionally racist". the public hearing was due to take place next month, with seven individuals charged. tim bresnan and john blain also pulled out of proceedings, following andrew gale's withdrawal injune. in a statement, the ecb says... the six nations begins on saturday, and for england's new head coach, the calcutta cup match against scotland will be his first in charge. england are looking to beat scotland for the first time since 2020.

there's a return to the side for 35—year—old prop dan cole, who could win his 96th cap more than three years after his last appearance. you haven't got many games like this left, so to be able to play in front of 82,000 at twickenham, calcutta cup, first game of the tournament for us, you're certainly excited. there's a buzz. you can feel that anticipation in the air, especially when we run out. i'm looking forward to that buzz again. and finally tonight, is football doing enough to tackle global warming and really doing its bit to put the environment first? most people may say no. the carbon footprint of football is huge, and only last month you might remember nottingham forest were criticised for flying to blackpool for their fa cup match. that is by no means the only example.

well, tomorrow is the first ever green football weekend and will spotlight climate change at games across the country with clubs, players and fans taking part. nesta mcgregor reports. port vale might play their actual football in england's third tier but they are top—five in the uk when it comes to trying to save the planet. as part of green football weekend, players like funso 0jo and fans can collect points for the club by scoring green goals for things like ditching single—use plastics, swapping the bus for a bike, or beef for broccoli. the midfielder has completed more than 260 activities this season, which organisers say could equate to half a tonne�*s saving of carbon emissions. i go on walks, i see plastic and pick it up. if i can bring a change to five young kids, it's going to make a change in the world. and there's hundreds, thousands of footballers, so if we all do our bit and get some more awareness and education

out there, we can actually do something. this weekend, teams across the footballing pyramids, including manchester united, liverpool and tottenham, are making the issue of climate change part of their match day agenda, as will championship leaders burnley. sunday league games are affected all the time by pitches being flooded, people get trains cancelled because of the heat. the players talk about what they do as individuals, or as the full team, it can only serve as a positive to make people think. football has come and continues to use its reach to affect social change, tackling racism, homophobia and now climate change, which could be its biggest challenge yet. football at the moment - is an unsustainable practice. looking at the fixture schedule would be a good start. - you know, we are seeing games every three days. | it's incredibly intensive and that| obviously means that clubs have to rely on more carbon intensive| forms of transport like air travel. turning down your heating and wearing more in the layer up

challenge is another way fans can get involved in the green football weekend. organisers say we all have a part to play — a green goal might score points for your team, but it's a win for everyone. nesta mcgregor, bbc news. that is almost all of the sport for now. don't forget, you can keep up—to—date with all the six nations action and britain's battle to get to the final 16 of the davis cup, over the weekend, but that is all for me. good night. this is bbc news. we will have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour, straight after this programme.

hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from the historic university city of cambridge in the uk. now, it's the beginning of term and students are coming back, and like many generations before them, they'll be benefiting from some of the best educational resources in the world. and that includes valuable treasures looted from afar on colonial expeditions. but we're here because the university has recently announced it's actually returning some of those, specifically benin bronzes, to nigeria. and it's there, in what was once known as the kingdom of benin, that i want to start this story. for centuries, this street, igun—eronmwon, has been famous

for one particular craft — bronze casting. its name literally translates to "the place where bronze works are made". just five minutes from the palace, traditionally, it was the royal family and dignitaries who'd commission pieces to mark historical events. aigbe anthony spent 15 years mastering his craft. i've been into bronze casting from childhood. i was taught by my father, which...my father was taught by the forefathers, and it has been a family business, family work. so we've grown into it as a living. he's part of an exclusive guild of bronze casters, which has 120 members that mostly work on this street, all practising a centuries—old

technique where wax models are used to create a detailed mould for the bronze to be cast in. it will take up to two weeks to make a piece and it'll take up to a month, depends on the size of the job, for the artwork. whenever tourists come to nigeria, they want to visit this place, so they buy and they commission works. whilst the technique has remained the same, most are working off printed images, with little access to their ancestors�* original works. we have few ones that is still left, which is in family houses here, and we still have them in catalogues. yes, there are a few, not much. we don't have much access to it

because much of them is stolen. ifeel bad, and i'm not too happy because this is our treasure. it's what our forefathers laboured to do. it's reckoned around 10,000 pieces were looted by the british when they sacked benin in 1897, burning down the city's palace in the process. the bronzes were then sold to institutions around the world. now, there's no law in the uk which forces museums or other places to return stolen artefacts, but some institutions are doing it independently, likejesus college, cambridge. they were the first institution in the world to return a benin bronze in 2021.

more recently, germany handed back 22 bronzes and agreed to release over 1,000 items from their collections. the horniman in london has also sent pieces back to nigeria, and soon cambridge university's museum of archaeology and anthropology will follow suit. we've identified 116 objects that were taken during the punitive expedition of 1897, and those are the objects that we will be transferring ownership of. i think it's impossible to overstate just how severe an act of vandalism and cultural violence this was. the heads that we see before us here were several of the objects that graced ancestral altars throughout the palace, and the purpose of those altars

was very much to maintain the lineage, to maintain the kingdom. the plaques that had been removed from the walls throughout the city were visualisations of the benin kingdom's history and heritage, and those were all taken away in a wholesale export of this material, leaving very, very little behind. tell me, why are you now and only now returning some of the pieces? i think it's the right time for these collections to go back. one might say it's long overdue. i think the main reason, the most recent reason, is that there has been a request from the nigerian government, and i think fundamentally for us it's the right thing to do. these were stolen, these were looted. there are many, many different ways in which objects came to museums like this. there's such an awareness, both within the uk and internationally, of museums, colonial legacies, but also of the cultural heritage that is represented in museum collections. and we want the future retelling and care of these collections to be something that's really, really collaborative.

now, this is not a sentiment shared by all. currently, the british museum in london has more than 900 items from the historic kingdom of benin, the largest collection of bronzes in the world, with no current plans to return any. the british museum sent the travel show a statement, where they say that the collections offer an important opportunity for audiences to understand the history of the british conquest of benin city, and to reflect on the impact of that period of colonialism. they're in dialogue with the nigerian government about this, but also cite the british museum act of 1963, that it's their founding responsibility to care for the collection on behalf of the world — notjust the bronzes, but all the objects kept here. now, undoubtedly, that's not something that sits too well back in nigeria.

the national museum in benin has the most accessible collection of bronzes for tourists to see, though a fraction of what it perhaps should be. the time is coming for the british, for london in particular. when they see neighbouring countries around them bringing the objects, they will not have any other choice than to release what belongs to us, because the whole world knows they are stolen properties. there is no place like home. by the time this object comes home, it is going to do a lot of things. it will heal the wounds, it will create more jobs for our people. it will create more tourists to visit our museums. and on that note, plans are under way to build a brand—new museum to house their returning heritage. the edo museum of west african art

is scheduled to open in 2026, and they're optimistic it will be filled with their missing bronzes. fingers crossed the museum project goes smoothly. but if you can't wait that long, here are some alternatives from around the world that you could consider. starting in asia, the national museum of cambodia in phnom penh is filled with reclaimed stolen statues. a lot of the items here were looted from temples across the country, including from the famous angkor wat. a team is constantly working on tracing and bringing back their antiquities from museums and private collectors around the world. over in canada, the winnipeg art gallery has recently opened a centre showcasing the world's largest collection of inuit art. it's called qaumajuq,

which means, "it's bright, it is lit," with a building very much inspired by being in the arctic landscape. more than 27,000 artworks are on display, including a large portion which is on loan from the northern communities. travelling south into the us, why not check out the first american national museum designed and run by indigenous peoples? it's part of the smithsonian institution group, this one based in washington. the building is made out of materials closely connected to the native communities across the continent. inside, you'll find more than 800,000 objects, along with regular workshops and talks. over to morocco next, where you may remember we sent ade to the newly opened modern african art museum in marra kech. there, you'll find lots of artworks from around the country. its whole thing is about making art accessible, and the first sunday of every month,

you pay whatever you want or can afford to enter. finally to papua new guinea, where its national museum in port moresby has the task of protecting and preserving the country's cultural, military and natural heritage. some locals see it as a spiritual home due to its heritage inside. alongside its archaeological objects, it also has natural history specimens and contemporary local artworks. well, that's it for this time. but don't forget, you can watch loads more content and a longer version of this show on the bbc iplayer. but until next week, from me, rajan datar, and the rest of the travel show team here in cambridge, it's goodbye. hello. thanks forjoining me.

time to have a look at the weather for the next week or so. it's looking relatively settled for most of us. high pressure in charge, that means a lot of dry weather, sunny at times too, but not immediately. here's the forecast for saturday, we're in between two weather fronts. usually, between two weather fronts we have relatively mild air, so quite a mild morning on saturday, certainly no frost around and staying mild through the course of the day. this is what it looks like in the morning, a lot of cloud. one weather front in the north sea, another approaching northwestern parts of the uk, so outbreaks of rain eventually reaching to belfast, glasgow, possibly edinburgh as well come the middle of the afternoon. further towards the east and south, sunny spells and mild, possibly up to 1a celsius, a hint of spring in the air, although, of course, it is a little too early. on sunday, a centre of high pressure is right over us, that means light winds. the sun has a little bit of oomph to it, so it should feel quite pleasant,

particularly in the middle of that high, and that high will stick around for quite a few days. here it is on sunday and into monday, that high pressure is not budging, it's a strong high. but within it, some relatively cool air because the winds blow around, like so. the colder air that's in place across central parts of europe will be shunted in our direction, so that southerly, southeasterly flow of air, if you like. whereas, out towards the west of the uk, we have more southwesterly winds, so milder conditions, temperatures around 10 degrees, some spots of rain, up to seven in the centre of the high. that high also means very light winds and the potential for foggy conditions through the course of monday morning and into tuesday. this is tuesday morning, and you can see quite a bit of murkiness there. so, with high pressure comes the promise of settled and sunny weather in the afternoon but that does also mean that the mornings could be really grey, murky and dull, with fog lingering.

you see those temperatures around 8 degrees. this is a very intense area of high pressure, sticking around for some time. any fronts that try to come our way will be deflected way to the north of us. we are on the edge of this high pressure on wednesday, all the fronts here are being pushed towards the north atlantic, trying to encroach but they can't because that big high is preventing these a significant weather fronts to come in, or shooting off towards the northeast. the temperatures around 5 degrees. later in the week, that high pressure will drift towards the east, central and eastern parts of europe, so subtle changes in the wind direction. some fronts will try to push in but the high pressure is strong, it's basically driving our weather all through the week and into the weekend as well. but within it, it's relatively chilly air. the milder air is out in the atlantic, where the low pressures are and also

where the weather fronts are. but we're going to be within this area of high pressure, so the temperatures willjust be that little bit lower. it also means overnight frosts and daytime temperatures of around 7 celsius. so, the outlook is for largely dry conditions, frost and fog perhaps lingering in the morning in some areas and, yes, a little bit colder but only for a time. thanks for watching.

you've seen this, haven't you? it'sjust insane. i haven't seen it. ijust fast forward to austin. yeah, you can. and we saw tom hanks there playing elvis' manager, tom parker. this is yourfirst big role. as a very experienced actor, did he feel a responsibility to you or did he just go,

this is your moment, you go, you shine? well, i had no idea what it was going to be like. whenever you meet somebody that you have admired for a long time in light of china's unacceptable action, i am in light of china's unacceptable action, iam postponing my in light of china's unacceptable action, i am postponing my plans to travel this weekend to china will support you eu will support you in every way we can. we are not intimidated. we will not be intimidated. we will not be intimidated by the kremlin. because ukraine and the eu, we are family. the future of ukraine is within the european this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us secretary of state delays his trip to china because of the chinese surveillance balloon over us skies. in light of china's unacceptable action, i am postponing my plans to travel this weekend to china. the united states is to provide ukraine with longer range guided rockets as part of another support package worth more than two billion dollars. police in the uk say they believe mother of two nicola bulley from lancashire, who's been missing for a week, fell into a river whilst walking her dog. and the spanish fashion designer, paco rabanne, best—known for his metal clothing designs and his fragrances, has died at the age of 88.
