today at one: entente cordiale — the prime minister is in paris seeking improved relations with france and more help to stop migrants crossing the channel. rishi sunak is meeting president macron. he's expected to offer the french more money for increased beach patrols to stop small boats. the two men greeted each other this morning, all the warmth and backslapping, they met face—to—face for an hour backslapping, they met face—to—face foran hourand 20 backslapping, they met face—to—face for an hour and 20 minutes. yes, we'll be live in paris with our political editor. also this lunchtime: armed police storm a building in the german city of hamburg after a gunman kills seven people at a jehovah's witness meeting hall.

motorway drivers stuck for hours overnight, as heavy snow and strong winds cause travel chaos in parts of the country. keep getting called to stranded motorists on the cross—pennines routes, cars that can't progress because of the snow, some medical emergencies. fears of a recession ease — as new figures show uk economic output bounced back slightly injanuary by 0.3%. and there's a new duke of edinburgh — prince edward is given the title of his late father, prince philip. and coming up on the bbc news channel — despite injury and illness struggles, emma raducanu has returned to winning ways in her first match since the australian open injanuary.

good afternoon. the prime minister is in paris today for a summit meeting with the french president emmanuel macron. rishi sunak says it's a new chapter in anglo—french relations. he's pushing france for more action to stop migrants crossing the channel in small boats and is likely to offer the french authorities more money to help them step up beach patrols. but a deal on allowing the uk to send illegal migrants straight back to france is not expected. hugh schofield reports from paris. friends again. rishi sunak and emmanuel macron have met before. they like each other. now they want to show that whatever the divisions of the last few years france and the uk are back together and with a programme. for the uk, high on the to—do list

is stopping the migrant boats across the channel. the french are already helping with patrols, paid for partly by british money, but the flow keeps coming. more than 16,000 people entered the uk via channel crossings last year — up from about 300 in 2018. so far this year, around 3,000 people have arrived on small boats but the two governments claim theirjoint work has stopped a similar number from making thejourney. it will cost money, it has cost money, and of course we will be negotiating how we fund that joint work to prevent those migration attempts across the channel. it is right and proper that we do and of course we will be spending money in the future. the details of that will be part of what we discuss today. under rishi sunak�*s predecessors, cooperation was hampered by the sharp downturn in relations. france thought borisjohnson whipped up anti—french feeling for electoral reasons. and the low point was reached when liz truss was unable even to call france a friend.

this is the first summit between the french and british leaders since 2018. before that, in more normal times, they were happening once a year. now both countries agree it's time to reset the entente cordiale. yes, brexit is a fact and a complication, but there's too much at stake for a renewed friendship not to be a top priority. above all, there's ukraine. france and the uk have not always seen entirely eye to eye on the war, but now europe's major two military powers need to project an image of total unity to show russia that they're serious. i think we have a lot in common. and also because we are permanent members of the security council and we're sharing intelligence, and also on ukraine, we are on the same side. and so i think we can rebuild this relationship and the time is appropriate. also because rishi sunak is probably more pragmatic than his predecessors.

both france and the uk want to see the last few years as an uncharacteristic hiatus, normal service between the two countries now being resumed. that won't always mean harmony and concord, but cooperation and respect and a few smiles are a good start. hugh schofield, bbc news, paris. 0ur political editor, chris mason, is in paris. not very long ago the former prime minister liz truss was saying the jury minister liz truss was saying the jury is out on whether the french president is a friend or foe of britain, seems very different with rishi sunak. it britain, seems very different with rishi sunak-— rishi sunak. it really does. that very question — rishi sunak. it really does. that very question greeted _ rishi sunak. it really does. that very question greeted rishi - rishi sunak. it really does. that l very question greeted rishi sunak rishi sunak. it really does. that - very question greeted rishi sunak as he arrived in the courtyard a couple of hours ago asking whether france was friend or foe, of hours ago asking whether france was friend orfoe, picking up on the question put to liz truss in the summer when she said the jury was

still out. rishi sunak told us on the train he was never of that view, certainly not of that view now, and what is really striking is the warmth of the relationship between the two leaders we saw as they arrived here, slapping each other on the back, shaking hands for what seemed like an eternity, the prime minister hopes that alongside his new deal with the eu on brexit in northern ireland helps if you like remove a stone from the issue of the uk- remove a stone from the issue of the uk— france relations in the hope that it means progress can be made on the whole issue of small boats. not purely a discussion about small boats, they will talk about china, ukraine too, but a real determination on small boats for the government to make progress, likely to be more money set aside by the british government to help with patrols in the french coast. what they will not be is a returns agreement, an agreement that migrants who set off from france from the uk are immediately sent

back to france. that will not happen but they will say i think at a news conference in an hour or so that they are making some progress and their cooperation is growing stronger. their cooperation is growing stronuer. . ~ their cooperation is growing stronger-— their cooperation is growing stronuer. . ~ , . , stronger. thank you very much, chris mason, stronger. thank you very much, chris mason. political _ stronger. thank you very much, chris mason, political editor, _ stronger. thank you very much, chris mason, political editor, in _ stronger. thank you very much, chris mason, political editor, in paris. - police in germany say a gunman has killed seven people, including an unborn baby, at a jehovah's witness meeting hall in the city of hamburg. officials say the attacker was a former member of the religious community and was a legal firearms holder. he's thought to have killed himself after armed police stormed the building. 0ur correspondentjenny hill reports — and a warning — some viewers may find her report upsetting as it contains footage of the events as they unfolded. in the quiet of a city suburb, a man prepares to kill. mobile phone footage captures him as he approaches the building, readies his gun. inside the hall, oblivious to his presence, his intentions,

jehovah's witnesses had gathered. it's thought for bible study. gunfire hey! translation: | didn't - realise what was happening. i was filming with my phone and only realised through the zoom that someone was shooting at the jehovah's witnesses. then i realised what was going on there. after firing through the window, the attacker smashed his way into the building to continue his deadly rampage. when armed police arrived, he appears to have turned his gun on himself. it's emerged that the 35—year—old, named only as philip f, was a formerjehovah�*s witness who'd left the community on bad terms. translation: it's a horrible act, a very cruel deed. -

we've seen a few things in hamburg, but a mass killing on this scale is new to us. we knew it from tv, but we didn't imagine it could happen in our city. and he brought terror to the streets. casualties rushed to safety. no time for stretchers. at this point, no—one knew whether he was acting alone. by first light, a terrible tally. seven people shot dead. among them, an unborn baby, killed in her mother's womb. bodies brought out as investigators scoured the building. as people here try to absorb what happened, one question persists — why? the revelation that philip f had left the jehovah's witness community on apparently bad times will be key

to the ongoing investigation, but crucially, the investigators here have said they have not yet really been able to establish a motive. there is clearly a lot of work yet to be done. this is a city in mourning, already the first flowers have been brought here, laid at the foot of the meeting hall, but i think this also is a country in shock, particularly as we learn more and more of these extremely distressing details. we are hearing a little more about the role of the emergency services. it is thought lives were saved because police were on the scene so quickly, within four minutes of the initial emergency calls. it will take this city a long time to recover. this has been described as the worst crime committed here in recent history and perhaps chancellor 0laf scholz spoke for many when he said he is simply

stunned by such a violent act. jenny hill reporting from hamburg, thank you. a woman and two young boys have been found dead at a house in south—east london. police and paramedics were called to the home on mayfield road in belvedere at ii.50am yesterday morning after concerns were raised for their welfare. the bodies of the 47—year—old woman and the boys, aged nine and seven, were discovered inside. the metropolitan police said detectives are not actively seeking anyone else in connection with the investigation. drivers heading across the pennines have been stuck for several hours overnight after heavy snowfalls on the m62 motorway. freezing conditions and strong winds across much of the uk are affecting roads, railways and airports with hundreds of schools closed. yellow weather warnings for snow and ice are in place in many areas. richard galpin reports. this was the scene last night

on the m62 as drivers tried to get across the pennines from greater manchester. the heavy falls of snow causing delays of up to seven hours. we've had gritters and police come up to try and help, but we're at a standstill again, this is what we're looking at at the moment. the situation serious enough for mountain rescue teams to be called out in some areas. we're getting called to stranded motorists on the cross—pennine routes, cars that can't progress because of the snow, some medical emergencies, people stuck in cars who were feeling unwell. but finally this morning, vehicles have been able to move more freely on the westbound side of the m62, although problems continue on the east side. freezing weather, along with strong winds in much of the uk, is also impacting the railways. and likewise there have been delays on flights from leeds bradford airport, as well as liverpool airport.

in wales, many staff and pupils have not been able to get to their schools today. 350 schools have closed as a result. and in northern ireland, more than 100 have closed. for children here, it's turning out to be a fun day in the snow. dog barks excitedly richard galpin, bbc news. more now from our correspondence around the country. charlotte leeming is in yorkshire. first tomos morgan from mold in wales, how is it looking there?— looking there? widespread disruption aaain here looking there? widespread disruption again here in — looking there? widespread disruption again here in wales _ looking there? widespread disruption again here in wales for— looking there? widespread disruption again here in wales for the _ looking there? widespread disruption again here in wales for the third - again here in wales for the third day in a row, hundreds of schools have had to close, 350 across north, mid—wales, and the main roads have reopened after being closed in the north today. but a number of smaller

roads more inland across the north of wales are still closed, train services between the north and mid wales are closed. although it has stopped snowing now, the sun is out, beautiful picture behind me, it is melting and that means there is some risk of ice and the yellow warning has turned to a warning of ice and that will remain until turning this morning across most of wales and thatis morning across most of wales and that is why people have been urged to take care and do not drive unless absolutely necessary, especially across the north and mid wales region today. the day in a row wales has been hit by significant snow disruption and it has impacted a large part of the country again. tomos morgan in mold, thank you. charlotte leeming, a lot of snow where you are in yorkshire too. yeah, snowing for about 2k hours,

for the economy is flat. among the reasons cited for the better performance in january were the return of premier league football after the world cup, and a pick—up in school attendance. our economics correspondent andy verity reports. no bother, just the builder's station. that no bother, 'ust the builder's station. �* , ,, . ., , no bother, 'ust the builder's station. �* , ,, , , ., ., station. at this specialist station for the construction _ station. at this specialist station for the construction industry - station. at this specialist station j for the construction industry one station. at this specialist station i for the construction industry one of the host says businesses point. up until now the problem hasn't been a slowing economy some are just trying to get the staff and materials to do the work. but they are yet to hear the work. but they are yet to hear the evidence of the two—year recession the bank of england forecasted before christmas. we are tradesmen but _ forecasted before christmas. we are tradesmen but equally _ forecasted before christmas. we are tradesmen but equally we _ forecasted before christmas. we are tradesmen but equally we are - forecasted before christmas. we are tradesmen but equally we are the i tradesmen but equally we are the public too, so all this talk about the cost of living crisis, energy bills spiralling, fuel going up, especially building materials, they went through the roof especially during lockdown and the availability shrank. and i think that we have become pretty hardy and we are

pretty good at riding out storms. the uk economy grew faster than expected in january, the uk economy grew faster than expected injanuary, up 0.3% is by gross domestic product, meaning the value of all the goods and services we produce including public services like a day of school teaching for each pupil. in december�*s snow more people stayed away from school but in january they came people stayed away from school but injanuary they came back, boosting activity in education. services for consumers bounced back from december. figures welcomed by the governments which said the underlying fundamentals of the economy were strong. visiting scotland of the labour leader disagreed. that scotland of the labour leader disagreed-— scotland of the labour leader disaareed. �* ., , .,, disagreed. at the moment the problem we have not disagreed. at the moment the problem we have got is — disagreed. at the moment the problem we have got is the _ disagreed. at the moment the problem we have got is the productivity - disagreed. at the moment the problem we have got is the productivity is - we have got is the productivity is low, living standards are low, start—ups in scotland are failing at a greater rate than elsewhere in the uk. the real change we need for the economy which means living standards and jobs, economy which means living standards andjobs, is economy which means living standards and jobs, is with a labour government that is laser focused on economic growth. the government that is laser focused on economic growth.— economic growth. the office for national statistics _ economic growth. the office for national statistics warned the i economic growth. the office for i national statistics warned the one month figure was given a lift by one—off factors like the return of premier league football after the world cup which drew fans back to the turnstiles. the

he let us in to show how widespread it's become. it's far more across the student population than smoking ever was because it's so easy to do and students don't associate it with any health risks. leon, connor and oscar see themselves as addicts. two of them started vaping at 12. at first, it's like a social thing. you do it with your friends and stuff, but then after that, you just start getting addicted to it and you want to do it yourself, you do it on your own, you do it around anyone. you just can't really stop. it puts you in a really bad mood to your family and everything with your family and everything when you try and stop. it just doesn't really make you a nice person to be around. you're buying nicotine, aren't you, really? i you're spending your money on nicotine and stuff. - it's not something that| you can stop that easy. i would literally go out and meet someone if i hadn't had one for a few days and i'd crave it. as soon as i hear someone's got it, i'd walk a mile just to get one.

so, we're in the boys' toilets at baxter college, where we've had... mr carpenter installed vape sensors in the toilets at his school in kidderminster to try and stop the children vaping there. what the sensors allowed us to do is really accurately pinpoint when students have been vaping in here. we've got a cctv camera outside. we've noticed a real reduction. 16 cases, or alerts, on the first day, down to one or two a week. so, this is where we receive the alerts when we're down in the toilets... worcester council are monitoring the figures to see if installing the sensor continues to have a positive effect on attendance and behaviour in the long term. connor has given up vaping. i feel better. it feels better. he supports the school's decision to try and stop it. look, it's smart. it's smart. last year, for the first time ever, more 11 to 17—year—olds had tried a vape than had tried a cigarette. these vapes are helping people quit smoking, and that's a good thing for their health. but we're not talking about children that were smoking and start using electronic cigarettes. they're actively uptaking the vapes

as a lifestyle choice. they don't smoke previously. and i worry that it might lead them to smoking or that they'll become addicted to the nicotine that's in them, or evenjust the habit of using the vape. so, i think our public health message needs to be very different for children. lucy watkinson, bbc news, kidderminster. the father of elle edwards, the young woman shot at a pub on christmas eve in wallasey, has been taking part in a walk across the country to raise awareness of gun and knife crime. the walk has been organised by liverpool—born actor and comedianjohn may, to raise money for the scheme weapons down, gloves up. jayne mccubbin reports. you loved being her dad. yeah. a privileged position. absolutely. tim's daughter elle was shot dead in merseyside on christmas eve.

he could have been consumed by grief and rage. instead he wants to make a difference. tonight he's inviting the people of liverpool to walk with him on to the waterfront and take a stand against gun and knife crime. we want the city and the region to come together and stand and let people know we are not putting up with this anymore, it's got to change. it's not for us, it's for the kids. at the end of the day it's those kids who ultimately have to make that decision to be a better person. and if they're better people their kids are going to be better people and it will go on, that's ourjob. what's the local delicacy in wrexham? this is part of a lands end tojohn o'groats walk being made by liverpool comedianjohn may. together they will continue to scotland and raise money for weapons down, gloves up, a scheme which offers kids a different course in life. people go out, "oh, you need i

to punish them, you need to punish them, you need to punish them." it's like, well, that's all good and well, i but let's prevent it before we get to that stage. you can punish, punish, punish. is that enough of a deterrent? l i don't know. - but let's prevent it. because you can punish them i but someone has still lost their life, someone's family is still in pain. - this is a cause tim believes in. you've got us lost here, haven't you? no, look, it's telling us to go up here. i i can smell food. so, if we make sure that those kids create positivity within their own environment ourjob's done, we can walk away. this is a father whose message is simple. love is stronger than hate. hope more powerful than despair. come stand with us and justjoin us, come as one, and we'll get through it and we will win. she'll live forever.

tim edwards, father of elle edwards who was shot dead on christmas eve. there's a new duke of edinburgh. prince edward has been given the title that was formerly held by his late father, prince philip. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is here. and nick, this honours the wishes of the late queen and prince philip? i think it does, yes. it is not altogether a surprise. if you go back 24 years to june 1999 when prince edward married he was made earl of wessex then but the palace made it clear that the intention was that ultimately he would become the duke of edinburgh. duke of edinburgh, prince philip, the late husband of the late queen died as we know two years ago. i think it was felt that it should then be left to charles as new king to take the final decision on this but i think it is undoubtedly the wishes of prince philip and the late queen

that edward, their youngest son, should inherit this title. though the title won't be hereditary. so when edward passes on it will revert back to the crown. but it makes sense i think from the palace's point of view because prince edward has been closely involved with the duke of edinburgh award, the award scheme for young people, and i think it recognises the fact that prince edward, the duke of edinburgh, as we must call him, and his wife sophie, the duchess of edinburgh, have a kind of enhanced role within the royal family now given the fact that the duke of york in disgrace, no longer participating and the sussexes likewise, so i think it is a recognition of that.— sussexes likewise, so i think it is a recognition of that. nick, thank ou ve a recognition of that. nick, thank you very much- — a recognition of that. nick, thank you very much. nicholas - a recognition of that. nick, thank you very much. nicholas witchellj you very much. nicholas witchell reporting. britain's andy murray, jack draper and emma raducanu are all through to the second round at indian wells. raducanu overcame recent illness and injury concerns to secure her first win since january's australian open, beating montenegro's danka kovinic in straight sets. after the match, she told the bbc she only decided to take

to the court 20 minutes before the match. it's the oscars this weekend in los angeles — the 95th academy awards. and it's set to be a night of close races — among the front runners, all quiet on the western front, the banshees of inisherin and everything everywhere all at once — which is nominated for 11 awards. here's our la correspondent sophie long. i've seen thousands of evelyns... as we enter the final furlong it's looking very good for michelle yeoh, for everything everywhere all at once. a win for her would be historic. it's beyond me being recognised as an actress. it's like a whole community of asians coming forward and saying, you're going to do this for us, you have to do this for us. while it's well positioned to take best picture, it left some traditional oscars voters a bit baffled. let me be perfectly blunt. you are not my first choice. so it's still possible they could give the top prize

to top gun: maverick. just want to manage expectations. where'd you gain all that weight? someone close to me passed away. when it comes to best actor, everyone's talking about brendan fraser for his role in the whale. internal organs are two feet in at least. you're looking for trouble. but elvis has not left the building yet. it's been nominated for nine oscars, including best actor for austin butler, who, in the words of the late lisa marie presley, embodied the heart and soul of her father so beautifully. now, i'm sitting here next to you, and if you're going back inside, i'm following you inside. and if you're going home, i'm following you there, too. colin farrell is also in the running for his role in the banshees of inisherin which has nine nominations, including best picture and best supporting nods for three of his co—stars. quieter contenders for best actor are paul mescal for aftersun and the ever gracious bill nye, nominated for the first time for his beautifully british understated performance in living.

# no woman no cry.# best supporting actress — now, that's quite a field. they're all first timers, except angela bassett for black panther: wakanda forever. and they're all super nice and rooting for each other. you know, there wasjust, like, things i didn't know about all these women and just really, like, lovely. yeah. i'm just really happy for them. and jamie lee curtis, i met her, she was lovely to me, and angela bassett, too. it has nothing to do about winning. it'sjust about artists connecting, women connecting, mothers connecting. and it was glorious. but last year's ceremony was remembered for a showstopping sense of humour failure when will smith showed the world that at the academy awards, anything can happen. sophie long, bbc news, hollywood. time for a look at the weather. elizabeth rossini is with me now. we

saw earlier in the programme some of the disruption caused by the snow.
