period, maybe 8th century. that gives the archaeologists more evidence of what happened after the romans left leicester. this sd image shows the excavation at the end of the dig, but now the work's complete, it's all being filled back in again. phil mackie, bbc news, leicester. time for a look at the weather — here's helen willetts. we saw earlier this not causing problems in scotland and there is lots more snow on the way? quite a week in terms of weather and the pretty pictures keep coming in but we hear it is causing problems school closures and row problems and that will be mirrored in many areas across the next few days. we could see power cuts, roads blocked and disruption to transport, numerous warnings in force, the details on

the website. today and tonight where we have the snow at the moment is where we keep it but tonight and tomorrow the risk of several centimetres falling across southern england and wales and by thursday a widespread event notjust the snow but the suits with strong wind. we could see roads blocked and vehicles cut off and we're pretty certain most of it will be snow because we are in this arctic air so it is cold. as recently dumb xc with the snow showers in the north, a dusting of snow in the south clearing, the odd shower elsewhere but it is cold, even with the sunshine and it will continue to be cold overnight with showers continuing for northern scotland, the east coast of northern ireland but this evening and overnight there could be a dusting of snow for southern parts of england and wales so do not be surprised if you wake up to a dusting. icy we have showers on the coldest night of the year so for
1:32 pm
potentially —15 in scotland. crisp and sunny start to tomorrow, away from the showers which pester coastal areas across the east and into northern ireland but fewer than today because we are looking in the south. cold again, as we go into the last part of the morning, potential another area of low pressure bringing the threat of more snow and disruption into the evening our, ten centimetres falling across the southern part of england and wales southern part of england and wales so clearly a cause for concern. on thursday this deep area of low pressure looks nasty with tightly packed ice bars and strong winds but it is likely 5—10 centimetres of snow at lower levels blowing around in strong winds so blizzards blocking roads and stranding vehicles and bringing down power lines but we could see 20—30
1:33 pm
centimetres over the hills so it's looking like a very wintry picture in the next few days. even into friday snow pushing into scotland and slow to clear. stay tuned. helen, thank you. a reminder of our top story... the government announces new legislation to stop migrants arriving in the uk on small boats and they said not to act would betray the british people. it will allow us to stop the boats that are bringing tens of thousands to our shores in flagrant breach of both our laws and the will of the british people. 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, i'm gavin ramjaun. it's just after 1.30 and this is your update from the bbc sport centre.
1:34 pm
liverpool fans who attended last year's champions league final in paris will get refunds for their tickets. uefa have announced the scheme after a report found the governing body �*bore primary responsibility�* for chaotic scenes which saw fans tear gassed and prevented from entering the stadium before the game. kick off for the game was delayed by more than half an hour at the stade de france — with some supporters caught in crushes outside the venue. uefa and french authorities initially blamed ticketless fans, but an independent report said there was "no evidence" of that. adding it was �*remarkable no one lost their life". uefa said the refund scheme covers all of the liverpool ticket allocation for the final — which is over 19,000 tickets. fans group — the spirit of shankley — welcomed the decision. all we'd ever been seeking is the honesty, the justice from all we'd ever been seeking is the honesty, thejustice from uefa so money won't hail the hurt of those people who were traumatised or

injured or attacked in paris last year. of itself, it's a real victory forfan year. of itself, it's a real victory for fan activism, year. of itself, it's a real victory forfan activism, it's year. of itself, it's a real victory for fan activism, it's a first step on the road for uefa to accept their culpability because everything before this has been about words so it's nice to see some action taking place but this is only part of the journey. they have to complete everything else in order to make sure that any ban, whether it's a liverpool or around the judge than. to make sure they can go safely and without fear. to this season's champions league now — and we're into the last 16 second leg matches later — and all eyes will be at stamford bridge — with struggling chelsea hosting german bundesliga side borussia dortmund. it's a huge night for head coach graham potter, as the pressure continues to mount on him and his team. despite victory against leeds at the weekend, he's struggled to gel a squad of expensively assembled stars since taking over. the blues are 1—0 down from the first leg, but potter is ready for the challenge. it's the champions league,
1:36 pm
it's a chance to get the last eight. we are playing against a top opponent who are in a really good vein of form. so it's a huge challenge, but, at the same time, what an opportunity. stamford bridge is going to be rocking, i'm pretty sure. and we're going to give everything to win the game and go through. the final day of evidence, at cricket's disciplinary hearing, into allegations of racism at yorkshire is under way. the panel heard submissions in private yesterday — after statements made by former player azeem rafiq, which implicate seven people including the former yorkshire and england captain michael vaughan — charges which he categorically denies. we can speak to our reporter matt graveling, who's there for us. matt — where are we at with this today? michael vaughan has just gone michael vaughan hasjust gone into the international arbitration centre which is in fleet street, we are a day for deliberations. they are now coming to a close here, we have had
1:37 pm
evidence surrounding the charges were seven men who are being charged with bringing the game into disrepute. mr gale is accused of using racist language between 3008 and 2018 a number of occasions, something which he denies. we also have written evidence saying he was petrified of andrew gale and started shivering when he was next to him. also accuse of using racist language towards asian players and racist language used towards azeem rafiq's sister at yorkshire cricket club. after they had the lunch, we'll be hearing closing summaries from different parties here, the free people on that panel will retire and start the deliberations, we are expecting report with a decision within the coming weeks.

it's been a big week for british long jumperjazmin sawyers — after winning gold at the european indoors, in istanbul on sunday, sparking those scenes of delight. but it's only the start of bigger things for the 28—year—old, with olympic gold next summer a real target, as she's been telling john watson. i think it's halfway to sinking in. i've seen thejump i think it's halfway to sinking in. i've seen the jump enough times, i can't stop watching it. i know it happened, as stephanie real but i think the idea that now i'm genuinely a medal prospect at every champa chip i go to, i'm not sure that's fairly there yet for me. which is fine because i don't want it to sing all the way in, i don't want to be comfortable. i haven't done it, i've hit a target but the european indoors in the ultimate goal. the olympic games is the ultimate goal, now i've played have
1:39 pm
had the potential and i'm capable of being at the top podium at those places. it sunk into about here. let's build from there. it feels almost surreal because everyone in the jumping talks about the seven metre club, it's a big deal. in britain, we have had two women and outdoors, i am britain, we have had two women and outdoors, iam now britain, we have had two women and outdoors, i am now the british indoors record holder. typically, outdoorjumps are longer. just outdoor jumps are longer. just saying! outdoor “umps are longer. just sa inc! , , outdoor “umps are longer. just saina! , , ., outdoor “umps are longer. just sa in.! , , ., 4' outdoor “umps are longer. just saina! , , ., saying! does thus mean you think you will do it, because _ saying! does thus mean you think you will do it, because we _ saying! does thus mean you think you will do it, because we got _ saying! does thus mean you think you will do it, because we got the - will do it, because we got the olympics round the corner and seven metres would win the olympics? yes. metres would win the olympics? yes, i think i can — metres would win the olympics? yes, i think i can do _ metres would win the olympics? yes, i think i can do it. _ metres would win the olympics? yes, i think i can do it. this _ metres would win the olympics? 133 i think i can do it. thisjump has given me a new level of belief in
1:40 pm
that, i've always thought i could do it but does have the scorecard next to my name gives me so much confidence and i know that there's more to work on.— katie boulter and katie swan will be hoping to join fellow brit emma raducanu in the main draw at indian wells. they're both through to the final round of qualifying later. harriert dart and jodie burridge miss out, though. considered on of the most prestigious tournaments on the tennis calendar outside of the grand slams — andy murray, dan evans and jack draper will all be in action from tomorrow. cam norrie will also be looking to add a second indian wells title to his name, he won it in 2021. we are back more later on. the british government has introduced controversial new legislation to detain and swiftly deport migrants coming to the country in small boats.
1:41 pm
the law will ban such migrants seeking asylum after reaching the united kingdom; claims will instead be assessed after deportation. the home secretary, suella braverman, told parliament people wouldn't stop coming until the world knew entering britain illegally would lead to detention and removal. she said the british asylum system had become overwhelmed, and dangerous channel boat crossings had to stop. yesterday's laws are not fit for purpose. so to anyone proposing de facto open borders through unlimited save illegal routes as the alternative, let's be honest. there are 100 million people around the world who could qualify for protection under our current laws. let's be clear, they are coming here. we have seen a 500... a 500%
1:42 pm
increase in small boats crossings in two years. this is the crucial point of this bill. they will not stop coming here until the world knows that if you enter britain illegally, you will be detained and swiftly removed. removed back to your country if it's safe, or to a safe third country like rwanda. that is precisely what this bill will do. that is how we will stop the boats. mr speaker, this bill enables detention of arrivals without bale orjudicial review within the first 28 days of detention until they can be removed. it puts a duty on the home secretary to remove illegal entrants and will radically narrow the number of challenges and appeals
1:43 pm
can suspend removal. only those under 18, can suspend removal. only those under18, medically can suspend removal. only those under 18, medically unfit to fly all at a real risk of serious and irreversible harm and exceedingly high bar in the country we are removing them too will be able to delay their removal. any other claims will be heard remotely after removal. when our modern slavery act passed, the impact assessment envisaged 3500 referrals a year. last year, 17,000 referrals took on average 543 days to consider. modern slavery laws are being abused to block removals. that's why we granted more than 50% of asylum requests from citizens of a safe european country and a nato ally, albania. that's why this bill that qualifies illegal entrants from

1:45 pm
labour government and and legal family reunion visas for refugees are down 40%. this is deeply damaging chaos and there is no point in minutes is trying to blame anyone else for it, they have been in powerfor 13 years. the asylum system is broken and they broke it. we need serious action to stop dangerous boat crossings that are putting lives at risk and undermining border security. and that is why labour has put forward plans for a cross for a cross border police unit, full for fast track decisions and returns to clear the backlog and her end hotel use and a new agreement with france and other countries. but instead, today's statement is groundhog day. the home secretary's statement also also received a response from the scottish nationalist party. justice and immigration spokesperson, stuart mcdonald, expressed his party's dissent.
1:46 pm
the snp stands proudly behind the euro european convention. we believe that all asylum seekers deserve a fair hearing. we agree that there is no such thing as an illegal asylum seeker. despite the dreary dog whistle x, we will not leave a finger on people smugglers are people traffickers but it will cause serious and devastating harm for people who have already endured terrible suffering. afghans, let down by the government's schemes will be locked up and showed. people who have fled persecution in syria, eritrea or iran will be blocked from the asylum system. hundreds children of missing from hotels. mr speaker,
1:47 pm
thatis of missing from hotels. mr speaker, that is what the bill looks up to deliver and that is why we will oppose it every step of the way. if every country followed this example, the whole system of refugee protection around the world will fall to pieces but it's notjust a system of refugee protection act will be trashed by this bill, but the uk's reputation as a place of sanctuary. she spoke about an overland asylum system, the only thing that is overwhelmed the asylum system is the conservative party's competence. likely to be counter—productive, but as one of her own ministerial colleagues described it. two questions for the home secretary, what happens then if an afghan arrival cannot be removed to afghanistan, france, rondo and urls. will they be admitted to the asylum system and after how long? when the prime minister meets with
1:48 pm

the bbc�*s political correspondent. we had one of those oppositional mps calling it dog whistle politics. the home secretary says not to act would be to betray the british people. compliments to whoever produced that sequence of clips because it gives a very good flavour of the debate. one may over flow in a couple of conservative mps. may over flow in a couple of conservative mp5. the way i would some of it, it will be a big wedge issue in the next general election, as brexit was. were taking a hard line on the migrant boats, or are you not. as you heard from suella braverman, she wants to make this about values, that you are bigoted if you're worried about people coming in on boats. where the opposition parties, yes some of them wants to make it about decency and
1:51 pm
moral but essentially, labour are saying this is not about values, this is about competence and are essentially the uk government has been hopelessly incompetent in asylum over the last 13 years. you can see it's going to be a major issue over british politics. i5 can see it's going to be a ma'or issue over british politics. is not often ou issue over british politics. is not often you hear— issue over british politics. is not often you hear legislation - often you hear legislation introduced in the commons that the government admits may push the boundaries as they put it of international law?— boundaries as they put it of international law? ., �*, , , international law? that's because, the don't international law? that's because, they don't care. — international law? that's because, they don't care, right? _ international law? that's because, they don't care, right? or - international law? that's because, they don't care, right? or the - they don't care, right? or the opinion polls suggest that if the conservatives do want to make this a wedge issue, you're either with us or against it. it is not about want to pick because it's certainly never conservative voters do want a tough line and they're not that bothered if there is a national law is violated and this issue will be around the world, notjust about
1:52 pm
britain's reputation. these are very robust measures, will britain be in compliance with un conventions on how you treat refugees and it will it be in compliance with european convention on human rights. this is going to be watched in this country is a very hot political story. and also round the world, to see a rich and wealthy country like the uk, would it be possible to treat asylum seekers in this way? why matt rob, thank you very much. the oscars return to hollywood this weekend. yesterday we heard from the cast of the banshees of inisherin — now it's the turn of elvis. the film is going into sunday's race with eight nominations. our us west coast correspondent sophie long has been speaking to its directors and cast, who are all hoping to take home the award.
1:53 pm
we had fire, we had flood, then a pandemic. we lost the movie. then the movie came back. then the movie is made, then the movie flourishes. and then austin wins the golden globe for best actor. and then we have the sadness and the shock of losing lisa marie. it's been such an incredible emotional roller coaster, an up and down. it's an incredibly difficult time and tumultuous time, you know, and... but i think back to when she first saw the film and when priscilla saw the film and how... their reaction to it, and especially because they felt the way that they did about it. no review will ever mean more to me than what what they said after, you know. # going to a party at the countyjail. tomorrow, all of america will be talking about elvis presley. -
1:54 pm
all your films have such energy. like, i remember the first time i watched moulin rouge. it kind of slaps you in the face. it's different to anything else. how do you do that? well, my energy might be, you know, slightly dribbling away as the years go on. but they're designed like that. they're engagement films. they're meant to say, "come with us on the ride." they're meant to challenge you in the beginning. they're not keyhole psychological dramas. they are participatory cinematic works. and i think the energy of the movies comes from baz's energy— and his infectious storytelling - and the fact that as a collaborator, you feel so privileged to be part of the journey. - and he takes such care - to include me, but everybody from mandy to, you know, the grip, the dolly grip, i . whoever it is, we all feel part . of an energised, bigger company.
1:55 pm
the directive that baz gave me really super early on when we were talking about script is that the camera has to dance with elvis, and it has to fly when he flies. and then when the drama gets heavy and emotional that we would be elegant and observational. i need to get back to who i really am. how does it feel? it feels like a dream. you know, i'm trying to... i'm trying to take snapshots in my mind and really remember these moments. the newness of all this will never happen again. so i really want to remember it. there's so much buzz around this whole, this part of the industry. and i'm used tojust being the guy who's, you know, you can sort of hide behind a character. so there's a lot of talking about yourself. cheering
1:56 pm
now it's time for a look at the weather. there are numerous warnings in force and we pretty certain what comes out of the sky will fall as snow. late of the sky will fall as snow. we have not of the sky will fall as snow. we have got whether france are waiting in the atlantic to bring that snow in the atlantic to bring that snow in but for the rest of the day, most of the snow showers will continue across the north and the east and northern ireland and it's cold out
1:57 pm
there despite the sunshine. overnight temperatures will drop like a stone. further snow showers around the coast and northern ireland to. we could see a fee centimetres of snow across some southern parts of england, possibly south wales. so we could wake up with a light covering of snow across the southern half of the country. ice will be a problem tomorrow where we've had that lying snow before we get another area of rain and then sleet and snow across southern england and south wales. we could see five to ten centimetres over the hills, it's going to cause some concerns as it coincides with the evening rush hour and it continues to fall into thursday morning as well. by thursday, we got another issue. this deep area of low
1:58 pm
pressure. strong winds and white red white heavy snow. 15 to 20 centimetres. even at lower levels, perhaps double that over the hills. clearly temperatures won't be this high where is falling, mostly rain further south but quite a lot of uncertainty. the next couple of days, we are monitoring the snow across northern areas through the rest today and overnight. through the overnight period, through tomorrow and tomorrow night we are concerned about disruptive snowfall across the southern half of england and wales and are widespread significant snow event over friday.
