An indefinite sentence, it was just, well, justice has been served, he has been dealt with. He is serving a life sentence now. Because that is the way it was put across to us. So we never thought for one second that he would be eligible for parole. But today, there he was, behind the bars in the dock, potentiallyjust weeks from being freed. Sir bian leveson had ordered thatjohn worboys should be present in person, because he didnt trust the liability of the courts video link system. Thejudge had been told that worboys victims were unhappy at the prospect of seeing him again. I am sorry about that, sir brian said, but im sure you will appreciate why it will not be possible sensibly to conduct this hearing without him being present in some way. The womens lawyer described afterwards what it was like for one of her clients to see her attacker again. It was very, very difficult, but she felt it was really necessary to be there and to say she wasnt going to be frightened of him being there and to challenge, you know, challenge his power, essentially. But obviously it is hard to see him there in the flesh after all this time. In court, the womens barrister said the parole boards failure to give reasons for freeing worboys was unlawful. That kind of blanket secrecy is something that is contrary to a fundamental principle of our law, which is that justice is administered in the open, Philippa Kaufmann qc said. Talking to mps at the same time, the chair of the parole board said he too would like the rules to be changed. I think one of the things we should look at is victims getting victims who want to get one getting a summary of the parole boards decisions. Thejudges then agreed they would hear the victims legal challenge to worboys release in five weeks time, and that until then, he should remain in prison. Daniel sandford, bbc news at the royal courts ofjustice. Confidentialfigures on the impact of brexit, which were leaked last week, have now been offered in full to mps. The Analysis Shows how different kinds of brexit would affect the economy across the regions of the uk. And they suggest, universally, that Economic Growth would suffer. Theyve been challenged by brexiteers, who say that analysts have always got their brexit predictions wrong. Our political editor, laura kuenssberg. Cloistered in the commons, ministers cars parked give away the private meeting in the Prime Ministers office. The cabinet trying to reach a compromise, continually pushed by brexiteers to adopt a tough line towards the eu. Would she be good enough to be very robust when discussing these matters in the Brexit Committee, has she will be, in order to repudiate any of these eu threats . We will hear all sorts of things being said about positions being taken. What matters are the positions we take in the negotiations as we negotiate the best deal. We have shown we can do that, we did it in december and we will do it again. One number 10 insider told me the problem is that everybody always wants something. The Prime Minister must broker a deal within her own party before she can get on with the negotiations. Today the Brexit Committee was discussing how to avoid bringing back the border between northern and southern ireland without keeping the current customs arrangements at the Prime Minister is ruled out. What kind of immigration deal should be done with the eu. One that controls the numbers but gives business the staff they need. Tomorrow the discussion will move on to how we do business in future. Why are ministers still squirrelled away in your having these conversations when we voted to leave in the summer of 2016 . The referendum didnt dictate exactly the relationship we would have with the European Union after brexit. So for months, the tories have been in a tug of war. Should we stay closely intertwined with brussels after we go, or make a more dramatic break . The eu and business are running out of patients. The uk takes its time to decide. It would demonstrate to the world the United Kingdom is not leaving europe as we leave the eu. Tory remain rebels line up this morning to put against the idea of a lurch away from the eu. They are outspoken, but they fear the country will be worse off. It is abundantly clear to me that there is no model which will satisfy all sections of the british public, and i believe, and ive said many times before, i believe a no deal scenario would be bad for our economy. Mps have now seen the governments forecast of what could happen to different parts of the country if there is no deal. Over 15 years the economy in london is forecast to be 3. 5 smaller. In the west midlands, that voted to leave, it would be 13 smaller. And in the north east, which also chose brexit, hypothetically it is the worst affected. The economy potentially 16 smaller than it is otherwise expected to be. Forecasts often turn out to be wrong. Very wrong. But the government is preparing to make big choices right now that will, for better or worse, affect us all. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news. Our Political Correspondent iain watson is at westminster as these figures continue to dribble out. The so called brexit war cabinet met today, talked about Northern Ireland and immigration. Immigration. It will meet tomorrow. Does that mean for those that believe there isnt enough clarity in the governments position on what a future relationship with the eu could look like, for them, for those critics does that mean that some point quite soon we made get an idea, of what that future relationship could be . think we will get a better idea, i am not sure how soon think we will get a better idea, i am not sure how soon it could be, we are not expecting out of these two days of talks, to get necessarily any firm guidance. Those who have taken part any firm guidance. Those who have ta ken part have any firm guidance. Those who have taken part have been fairly tight lipped so far, but for good reason probably, because they have to try to discuss where the end point of brexit might be of these important talks on the future relationship, the trade talks of the eu, but at the moment, what the government is concentrating on is getting this transition deal in the first place, making sure that we have got a deal for the two years or so, immediately after we leave the European Union, so they have a lot on their plate. It was interesting today, they were discussing a problem it seems potentially intractable at least which is how to deal with the border between Northern Ireland and the irish republic. What the government wants to do is to settle that finally when it has the discussions in the future relationship, but it is pressure that brussels and ireland to try to sort that out, even sooner what the government said so far is that it has a fall back position, a reassurance if you like, for the government of ireland to say there would be full alignment if no better relationship is agreed. That would mean you could have different rules on different sides of the border and ireland but they would have the same outcock for when it comes to standards of food safety and so on. That is the government position at the moment. The question is what will they be specifically asking for in those trade talks, that has yet to be may clear and there is also rumours here tonight that the Prime Minister may in the end set south her ideas in another one of her speeches. She had one lastjanuary, then the florence speech, we may get a third speech where she clarifies this, especially if she cant get consensus in these meetings. 0k, consensus in these meetings. Ok, we look forward to that. Meanwhileman mps have been given a chance to view in detail the so called Brexit Impact assessments and the details have been dribbling out, what do woe know . More detail has emerged. If you remember when this was initially leaked, the buzzfeed website of course, it created a huge fuss, they suggested the three options that were described, if we get a free trade deal, no deal, that in many areas britain would not be doing as well as it would have done had it stayed in. What we are getting that mps are allowed to look a the documents is more information by region so the region most affected would be the north east, where voters voted pretty heavily in favour of brexit. I should stress this is the comparison this is how they would do compared to how it would have done over the next 15 years, had we stayed in the European Union, and had it behaved according to economic forecast, these reimportant caveats. But, using that comparison the north east, if we stayed inside the Single Market would be 3 worse off than otherwise, the Economic Growth would be 3 less than had we stayed in, and if we come out on no deal at all, in the north east the ex economy is expected to be i6 smaller than if we had stayed in. In scotla nd smaller than if we had stayed in. In scotland of course a majority of people nearly two thirds voted to stay inside the eu. Nonetheless, again, even if we stayed inside the Single Market, then in effect the economy would be two and a half percent smaller than it would otherwise, and then again if there was no deal in scotland, the economy would have been nine smaller than it would have been. The free trade option that is somewhere in the middle. Thank you ian for that. And well find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 40 this evening in the papers our guestsjoining me tonight are kate andrews, news editor at the institute of Economic Affairs and the former labour advisor and political commentator ayesha hazarika. One of the killers of the toddler james bulger, the two year old who was murdered in 1993, has been sent to jail a second time after admitting having indecent images of children. Jon venables, who served eight years for murder, was recalled to prison last year for breaching the terms of his licence. The judge said there was no guaranteejon venables would be released after serving his sentence. Our correspondent Daniela Relph gave us this update tonight from the old bailey. Jon venables appeared via a videolink from prison but sitting here at the old bailey watching him we re here at the old bailey watching him were James Bulgers parents. They heard how the police had found more than 1,000 images of child abuse and videos on venabless computer, the children ranged in age from very young to 13. The judge said the images were vile and heartbreaking. The police also found what was called a paedophile manual which was described as a disgusting and sickening document. After the hearing, reacting to the sentence of three years and four months, James Bulgers father said it wasnt long enough. It was an insum tojames, i it wasnt long enough. It was an insum to james, i thought it was an insult to the family. He is a sexual deviant this haventable, he is a paedophile, and he isjust waiting for a victim, so lets make sure there is no more victims, and keep him where he should be. Jon venabless barrister told the court his client apologised to James Bulgers family, venables himself told the police he was dismayed by what he has done, and he now needed some help to understand his actions. Tesco are facing a possible potential record equal pay claim of four billion pounds. Its being brought by women who work in the companys stores who earn less than men employed in its warehouses, even though they claim the work is comparable. The supermarket says all its staff are paid fairly, whatever their gender. Our economics editor kamal ahmed reports. Who is worth more . Warehouse workers, mostly men, loading and unloading lorries, or store staff, mostly women, loading shells and dealing with customers . This is a very different type of pay dispute. Not equal pay for the same job, but equal pay for differentjobs. That, lawyers argue, had the same value. I think the role has changed over time. Kim and pam have worked in tesco supermarkets for more than 20 years. Their rates of pay are up to three times lower than warehouse staff. We think we have equal rights. There are times when there are such discrepancies that he cant explain them. I think tescos are just one of Many Companies that really arent addressing the fact that women seem to still be paid less. Obviously the jobs are slightly different but to put it bluntly, they are of equal value. We deal with customers. They dont have to deal with customers. We take the stock and we load the stock. They load it off the lorry and we loaded onto the shelves. It is a debate that goes back decades. We are on strike until the 27th ofjune. Here are women workers for ford in the 1960s, arguing that theirjob sewing car seat covers was comparable with the men who built the engines. They won after years of expensive battles. So how do you test whether a job is of equal value . First you score how much training and skill it needs to do the job. Second, how difficult is the job and how much responsibility does it carry . Third, what are the physical and emotional demands . For example, is customer interaction a key part of the role . If the scores are similar, the jobs are comparable. I asked the lawyer leading the case if workers work is the same if warehouse work is the same as working in tesco supermarkets. A man in distribution may score higher on a physical test, but the woman may score higher on the emotional content of the job or dealing with the customers. If the law has been there since 1984 that you can compare with a differentjob, that is 3a years to get your house in order. Tesco said they couldnt comment on the claimed they had not received. For pam and kim, it will be £20,000 each the legal battle is successful. This is not about the money. Youre asking for fairness, arent you . Absolutely, no more, no less. Kamal ahmed, bbc news.

More could still be admitted. Leaving rivals, including britain frustrated. The uncertainty can be tricky, i think both the ioc and obviously the court of own tracing of sport is involved, and the decisions will happen up to the starting point of the games.

A damning report into a failed nhs trust, seen by bbc news, has found that infeasible financial targets to cut costs led to patients being harmed, suffering fractures and having the wrong teeth removed. A review into the activities of Liverpool Community health found a Management Team that was seriously out of its depth, caused severe Staff Shortages and bullying. Despite the problems, the trusts chief executive was found anotherjob in the nhs. Our social affairs correspondent, michael buchanan, has this exclusive report. Personally, it destroyed me. I was suicidal. Relative at knife point and sexually assaulted. The lady died six hours after she was admitted to the ward. It was absolutely the most horrific time of my life. Around three quarters of a Million People in merseyside relied on Liverpool Community health to provide services such as district nursing, dentistry and diabetes care. But the report we have seen, looking at services between 2010 and 2014, found it caused needless patient harm by putting costs before care. The trust, which is based in this building, was found to be dysfunctional from the outset. Its Leadership Team was described as being out of its depth. They said unfeasible financial targets that damaged patient services. We suddenly were taking patients with heart failure, with lung cancers, patients who were very medically unstable and unwell. We had no piped oxygen. This district nurse, who wants to remain anonymous, was sexually assaulted on a home visit, sent out without a personal protection alarm. I should have been able to alert someone to where i was and get the help to me straightaway. I would have been out within minutes rather than being subjected to a horrendous time for over an hour. The worst failings were arguably at liverpool prison, where the trust provided health care services. The review says it didnt know how to manage it safely. They didnt learn lessons from incidents and inmates died. Simon mcbride killed himself in the prison in 2014. The 35 year old had been convicted of drugs offences. He wrote two letters to prison medics asking for help. His suicide could have been avoided if a proper, diligent and competent, effective system had been in place to identify and treat his issues. The trust was led at the time by bernie cuthel. She was focused on cutting costs so the trust could achieve foundation status, giving a more autonomy. We tried to get an interview with her. Excuse me. Bbc news. We would like to talk to you about Liverpool Community health. We would like to ask you a couple of questions. Are you a bully . And as you can see, she didnt want to answer any questions. She resigned from liverpool to work at a trust in manchester. We have learned her newjob, which maintained her 6 figure salary, was actually arranged by an nhs regulator. Labour mp rosie cooper, whose father was let down by the trust, is appalled. I dont understand why anybody would want to keep a failed chief executive and or any other members of the board if they fail that badly, they should have been disciplined and fired. Liverpool Community Health is now providing Good Services to the people of merseyside, a significant improvement on its troubled past. Michael buchanan, bbc news, liverpool. This is bbc news. Its an increasing problem for the planet and a concern for many of us how can we reduce the amount of plastic in our lives and recycle what we do use . One of the biggest culprits is plastic bottles. Here in the uk only around half of all bottles are recycled. But in norway almost all 97 are collected for recycling. Its led to a big reduction in plastic litter, and could be adopted here. Our environment analyst Roger Harrabin has been to norway to see how they do it. There is a 10p deposit on this norwegian bottle. It encourages me to recycle. Most countries, this empty bottle would go into the bin or worse, onto the street. Not here in norway. I have come back into this shop and this machine is going to reward me for returning my bottle. The deposit is paid back with a coupon. For some the deposit scheme is a useful source of cash. This man collected a bagful from an office. He made £5 in ten minutes. People seem to like the scheme. It is very easy. You just take it with you when you go shopping and you get your money back. I think i take it back, like every month or so. Its not hard at all. At the sorting plant, a torrent of bottles. The cans will be melted down, the bottles separated into different types of plastic, then shredded and made into new bottles. The scheme is run by norways drinks companies, after the government threatened to tax every bottle they dont recycle. They enforced an environmental tax in norway that will say if you put a bottle in the market and dont have a Collection System, you have to pay a high tax. But if you set up a Collection System like the deposit system and you increase the collection rate, then you reduce the tax. And that is the big motivation for the producer and the importer in norway. Drinks firms are allowed only two types of plastic bottle. That makes recycling easier. There are also restrictions on the type of label, even the glue that sticks the label. But what about the hassle for shopkeepers who take in the empties . Well, they get a small fee per bottle. And there is another surprise benefit. They come and give us the bottle and the money that they get from us, theyjust come to us and they buy things. It is kind of increasing the customers in our shops. Norway has had this scheme for more than 30 years. Others will surely follow. As worldwide concern grows about plastic waste. Roger harrabin, bbc news, oslo. We have got more news coming up. Now, time for a look at the weather. We finished with some sunshine today and it is turning quite chilly with frost developing. Elsewhere, cloud amounts have increased through the night. Across scotland, Northern Ireland, northern and western parts of england and wales it is turning cloudier and milder. That will be the general theme for all about east anglia and the south east. Patchy rain and hailsnow anglia and the south east. Patchy rain and hail snow in scotland this evening. Mainly rain in Northern Ireland, spreading into north west england later on. You might get a few fla kes england later on. You might get a few flakes on the top of the hills, not a huge amount of rain around. Anywhere across central and eastern parts of england, this is where there will be gaps in the cloud and temperatures may drop below freezing, it could be as low as 6 in east anglia. So hazy sunshine to start thursday. It will cloud over from the north and west. Brighter weather in scotland and Northern Ireland. Northern ireland, the north and west midlands, wales and the south west, patchy rain and drizzle during the morning. By the time we hit the evening rush hour, heavy bursts of rain into the west. Overall, a milder day with highs of about ten. This is bbc news, our latest headlines. Victims of the serial sex attacker john worboys have now been given permission to challenge the decision by the parole board to release him. Government assessments of the possible effect of brexit indicate negative growth across all parts of the uk. Jon venables, one of the killers of the toddlerjames bulger, has admitted possessing indecent images of children for a second time. Hes been sentenced to just over three years in prison. And britains biggest retailer, tesco, could face a bill of £4 billion, after hundreds of thousands of female employees make a claim for equal pay. More than 60 people are still missing, as rescuers continue to dig for survivors after the earthquake in taiwan. In a moment, the new face of the first modern briton revealed from 10,000 years ago. Well be joined by an archaeologist who wrote a book about the search for cheddar man at around 8 45. Lets get more now on the details of those Brexit Impact assessments. Figures that were supposed to be confidential, but that were leaked last week to a website have now finally been disclosed to mps. They appear to show that brexit would not be good news for local economies around the uk. Dominic grieve has been giving his reaction. Im afraid i think that the figures may well be right. Of course, you cant say for certain that theyre right. But its also been quite apparent to me, right throughout this, that we are going to take a serious economic hit when we leave the eu in the short to medium term. Where we may be in a longer term is impossible to say. But is also impossible for the government to ignore the starkness these figures. This is all part of a pattern of evidence that has emerged ofjust how damaging and risky brexit is. However conservative backbencher john redwood indicated he thought the analysis was worth very little. I question them, i think they are wrong. They have been wrong systematically about this issue over the years. For example, when we went into the Exchange Rate mechanism we were told we were going to have a golden scenario. Instead, we had a very deep recession, massive loss ofjobs, closed factories, it did a lot of damage to my constituency. There were no apologies for those wrong forecasts. During the referendum we have the Short Term Forecast and we were told if we voted for out, in the year that followed, we would have a recession, lostjobs, closed factories. House prices down, all sorts of gloom. The opposite happened. The economy actually grew a bit quicker in the six months after we had the vote and jobs went up quite strongly. Ajudge in the netherlands has agreed to ask the European Court ofjustice preliminary questions about what will happen to a group of five british nationals eu Citizenship Rights after brexit. If the ecj accepts the request, it could rule that all Member States must guarantee the rights of british citizens living across the continent under european law. Our correspondent Anna Holligan gave us this update. This group of five british nationals described themselves as the forgotten people. They say theyve been living in a state of limbo, not knowing what will happen to their lives after brexit. They described the dutch judges decision as incredible and say they are delighted. The case refers to article 20 of the lisbon treaty, which lays out a european Citizens Rights when they are members of a european, eu state. But it doesnt say what happens to those european Citizenship Rights if a country leaves the union. So, the lawyer representing these british nationals asked the dutch judge to seek clarity from the ecj as to whether these european Citizen Rights are inalienable, in other words, can be taken away, regardless of the outcome of the current negotiations or whether they are inextricably linked to nationality. In which case, they could be taken away after march 2019. Although we should say that phase one of the negotiations did confirm that eu nationals and british nationals living within the eu would continue to enjoy the right to live and work in the country in which they currently reside. Many of these british citizens are concerned that if their freedom of movement is restricted then it could have an impact on their ability to seek work and education in other Member States. In other words, they could be landlocked. This, we should say, is a very early stage. But if the ecj agrees to provide this clarity, and rules in theirfavour, that the eu Citizenship Rights are separate from nationality, in other words they can retain them after brexit, then it could affect the more than1 million brits who are currently living right across the continent. Taiwan has been struck by numerous aftershocks, after a strong earthquake that killed at least six people and injured more than 200 others. Rescue efforts continue to rescue people still trapped inside buildings at risk of collapse in the city of hualien. Our correspondent cindy sue reports. Taiwanese people are used to earthquakes, but this one shocked many. It forced several buildings to near complete collapse. New cctv footage has emerged of the moment when the earthquake struck. This terrified woman escaped without injury. The quake shook many people out of bed. They scrambled to save those still inside. More than 100 people were rescued by residents, firefighters and soldiers. Miraculously, an employee of a hotel was found alive after being trapped for 15 hours on a collapsed floor. But many remained unaccounted for more than 12 hours after the quake struck. Some of them are feared to be tourists, staying at a Backpackers Hotel on the second floor of the building. It was crushed, along with four other lower floors. Others are believed to be residents, who may not have been home at the time. More than a dozen quakes and after shocks shook hualien after the initial earthquake, complicating rescue efforts. This one struck as an eyewitness spoke to the bbc. Oh, my god. This is an after shock. Im sorry. Oh, my goodness. My goodness. Oh, my god. Sorry. Were just told to go to the road and stay in the road, but were having a few after shocks, this is maybe our seventh of the hour. Without knowing how many people may be trapped, president tsai ing wen urged rescuers to race against time to find survivors. Her government has pledged 10 billion us to help victims, but that may be little comfort for taiwan, an island that sits at the junction of two tectonic plates and is frequently rocked by earthquakes, with 100 recorded just in this month. Deepening worries, as the quake happened on the anniversary of a deadly earthquake that killed 117 people, and exposed the poor construction standards on the island, making many buildings there potentially unsafe. Cindy sui, bbc news, taipei. The chief constable of Police Scotland has resigned with immediate effect. Phil gormley had been on special leave since september amid a series of investigations into claims of gross misconduct, including bullying. He denies any wrongdoing. Heres our scotland editor sarah smith. Phil gormley was brought in to steady the ship that Police Scotland just two years ago but he has not been at work for the last six months, allegations of bullying were being investigated. Mr gormley was cleared to go back to work by the Scottish Police authority back in november, but that decision was then reversed when thejustice secretary intervened. He was worried there werent adequate safeguards in place for the serving Police Officers who had made accusations against the chief constable. Mr gormley said in a statement. Raising questions today about whether Police Scotland is fit for purpose. We will soon be on our third chief constable, and we are on our third chair and chief executive. Surely the justice secretary has to start asking himself whether there is Something Else going on, perhaps it is the structure that is the root of the problem here. I believe a Single Police force is still the appropriate model in scotland, and the reality is had we not move to a Single Police force in scotland, we would have found ourselves having to make significant cuts to front line policing. Police scotland has had a Turbulent Times and eight forces were merged into one. The last chief constable stood down early after controversies of armed officers turning up the routine incidents, and delayed responses to 999 calls, including one in which a couple lay undiscovered in a crashed carfor three days. Police scotland now has to look for its third chief constable in five years, a safe pair of hands will be an essential job requirements. Sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. Scientists say they now know what our oldest known ancestor looked like and its something of a surprise. They believe that so called cheddar man, a 10,000 year old skeleton, had skin that was dark to black, and blue eyes. Researchers were able to sequence his genome for the first time to establish aspects of his appearance. He was discovered in Cheddar Gorge in somerset. One, two, three. Putting flesh on his bones. The face of cheddar man finally revealed. By extracting his dna and scanning his skull, experts say they have created him in unprecedented detail. And he looks very different from what they were expecting. The hair, the eyes, the face. That combination of blue eyes and dark skin, really very striking. Something we would not have imagined. And to also get from the dna details of his biology. The fact that he couldnt digest milk as an adult. That is something that came really with the advent of farming. And 10,000 years ago people didnt have that. Look how hes changed. This is what scientists used to think he looked like. A reconstruction from 20 years ago when dna analysis was nowhere near as developed. Cheddar man and i share a common female relative. This is modern day cheddar man. Adrian targett lives in the same village and shares dna with the skeleton found in the gorge. So, time to meet his ancestor. Do you want to see your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather . Ok, here he comes. And. Oh, my. What do you think . It is remarkable, isnt it . I think there is probably some resemblance. Yes, i think there are certainly other members in my family who he bears a resemblance to. Yes, some of my cousins. You can see that in there . Yes. I think my eyes are blue perhaps that survived lets have a look. They are blue they are blue. His hair is not quite as grey as mine is. Or my beard so 10,000 years after he died, 100 years after he was found, finally a face to fit the name of adrians ancestor. Jon kay, bbc news, cheddar in somerset. Joining me now from liverpool is larry barham, the author of in search of cheddar man and professor archaeology, classics and egyptology the university of liverpool. It is good to see you. Thanks very much indeed for being with us. He wrote the book, in search of cheddar man, 20 years ago. You will have to update that . Yes, or let some body else do it. This is extraordinary, this new evidence. There may be others that are better placed to bring the story up to date. I can tell you some of the background, if thatis tell you some of the background, if that is any use. Absolutely. This story broke about 20 years ago. It was Ground Breaking then. It was an early attempt at extracting ancient dna from a human fossil. The technique was in its infancy back in the late 1990s. Her Production Company at that time was making a film of cheddar man and Cheddar Gorge, they commissioned the dna sampling. They asked me to come along and provide some archaeological context for the find. It turned out, the first attempt was u nsuccessful. It turned out, the first attempt was unsuccessful. They drilled the toe bone. The second attempt was successful, dna was extracted from the molar. As you heard from adrian target, that was his ancestry on the female side. 20 years ago, we could say that there were descendants of cheddar man living in the region. That was fascinating. But we now have so much more information. When you look at the whole genome, the mother, father, also the details, as chris was talking about coming terms of physical appearance. We did not have that. Was it a shock to you . Seeing the appearance . have that. Was it a shock to you . Seeing the appearance . I was having brea kfast seeing the appearance . I was having breakfast and i saw this image coming up. I thought, this is cheddar man . Yes. That is fascinating. I have with me the image i think you havejust fascinating. I have with me the image i think you have just shown. This is from. Yes, i looked at the first reconstruction, done by a medical anthropologist at the university of manchester. That almost looks much closer to the new image. But that is the clay, that is before we add the preconceptions of what the individual looked like, which was the basis for the last 20 yea rs. Which was the basis for the last 20 years. Now we have genetic evidence which helps refine the look and ancestry. It is a much more interesting story. Indeed. You are a professor of archaeology, classics and egyptology. Does the representation of cheddar man that we seem representation of cheddar man that we seem to have now, does that throw into. Throw open the air a lot of what you have been researching over the last few years . I have been working in Central Africa and west africa for more than 20 years. I am aware of the growing evidence, overwhelming evidence of an african origin for our species, overwhelming evidence of an african originfor ourspecies, homo sapiens. Homo sapiens are getting older and older, we are now 300,000 yea rs older and older, we are now 300,000 years old, we moved out of africa several times quite early. It would not be surprising if this ancestry of african and modern humans coming into europe, also retaining some appearance. But nobody expected dark skin, dark hairand appearance. But nobody expected dark skin, dark hair and blue eyes this recently. We assumed modern humans, in northern climates, would be evolving lighter skin because there is less sunlight, and you need to synthesise vitamin d for health. You would lose the pigmentation. These groups have this pigmentation. We see that in cheddar man, but he is not alone. This is the other part of the story that has just emerged. That is the important point to make. Yes, there is the general belief that our ancestors, many millions of yea rs that our ancestors, many millions of years ago, moved out of africa. But the point about cheddar man is that this discovery seems to be far more recent, that perhaps ancient a ncestors recent, that perhaps ancient ancestors of britain were dark skinned . It challenges our preconceptions of what it means to be british, english. My ancestors, my fathers family, in historic times, came to england from the us. My times, came to england from the us. My mothers family, part english, pa rt my mothers family, part english, part portuguese and part indian. I ama part portuguese and part indian. I am a hybrid, i am a mix. Part portuguese and part indian. I am a hybrid, iam a mix. Cheddar man, and his contemporaries in other parts of europe, are showing that we have a long history of interaction between different groups, interbreeding, families of people from different cultures and different looks coming together. Its different looks coming together. Its not something new. It is old, it is part of what makes us human. Indeed good to talk to you. Thanks for joining indeed good to talk to you. Thanks forjoining us. Thank you for your time. The government has promised to improve the conditions of millions of workers in the so called gig economy. Ministers say therell be higher fines for firms who breach contracts, or mistreat staff. The move is part of the governments response to a review of modern working practices, but unions say the measures dont go far enough. Nina warhurst reports. Times have changed. Tom has around 30 full time employees like paddy. He gets sick and holiday pay. And around 20 workers like this tom, hes self employed and has to save for rainy days and holidays himself. Following todays announcement, the boss will have to be Crystal Clear with all of his staff on where they stand. If we are moving towards a situation where it is made clearer to employees what their rights are and what their entitlements are, i think that is something that can only be good for both the employee and for the business. There are up to 5 Million People working on a job byjob basis rather than as fully employed. And the government has promised to crack down on employers who bend the rules. If they fail to pay sickness and holiday pay, then the government will act. So its not left to the little guy to have to fight for himself or herself against a Large Corporation that might be playing fast and loose with their rights. The government will be hoping that todays measures will make life clearer and fairer for all workers. But some critics argue that there is still too much power in the hands of those who hold the purse strings. And that the most vulnerable workers are still being left wide open to exploitation. They had an opportunity to make a bold step to really give protection to those precarious workers especially in the gig economy. And they havent done anything to that extent at all. They have papered over the cracks. It is unlikely that those on shift today will even notice the changes. But the government says there may be more on the way. Which respect the value of flexible working, as long as employers respect their staff. Nina warhurst, bbc news, manchester. Now, the man behind a viral social media event has been nominated for providing one of the tv moments of last year. Professor robert kelly was interrrupted by his children while doing an interview for this very channel and hejoined my colleague simon mccoy to talk about how events unfolded. Serious subject, the situation in korea, are you aware that may be the children arent quite where you thought they were . Yeah, it was via skype, and skype has the picture in picture thing, so i could see what was going on behind me. There is only so much you can do. I cant stand up and what ever, you are on film. All the media people i know, they tell you the show must go on. I keep looking at the camera while the cast is going on, hoping that the producer would cancel the video. It didnt happen, did it your wife did a sterling job, it is not easy to do that, remove children when your husband is on television. She did great, definitely she was doing the best she could, the concern is being on the bbc, an honourfor me, and she is trying to salvage my career. The kids are going crazy and what ever, and she wants to make sure the husband gets a phone call afterwards. After that was over, we assumed you would never have us back. after that was over, we assumed you would never have us back. I want to show you the tweet. Would you mind if. Do you mind if we share the moment on bbc news . You write back, is this kind of thing that goes viral and gets weird . Yes, and yes it made you a global name. It did. It has been strange, people photograph me getting out of taxis and buying milk, im not lying. A Police Officer stopped me and took a photograph of me when i came to immigration a couple of days ago, they recognised me. I was in oman last week and people recognise me. I didnt want to become a celebrity, it is not what i do. No you are a professor i talk about bland stuff, but now people recognise me all over. We are on koean tv constantly. When did you realise that something out of the ordinary had just happened . The first two hours we figured it was the end of my career as a tv talking heads. You guys will never call us back nobody would call us back that is a problem because it is nice to be on tv as an expert, it makes you more legitimate as an expert. Somebody put it on twitter. I was constantly being referenced on twitter and my numbers were going up and up. Then you guys called and talked to me and my wife on the phone about putting it out there. By then, it was in the wild and we consented. We were uncomfortable, it was all right, i get criticism in the media, which i dont mind, but we were concerned about the kids, theyre small. We were not sure what the exposure would mean. But after a while, there was nothing we could do about it. We approved the bbc using it. That video is going to be played at every wedding for the rest of your life, isnt it. Im not sure how my kids will deal with it. My daughter is five and she understands something happened, because people say things to her at school. When she is genuinely able to understand when she is ten or 12, i have no idea how she will deal with it. We dont know how to bring it up. Such a good story. Known as the gardeners friend, the native hedgehog was once a common sight in britain but numbers of the spiky creatures are plummeting. Wildlife Charities Say at least half the population has been lost over the last two decades as Claire Marshall reports. Hedgehogs are shy, nocturnal creatures which makes them difficult to count but conservationists have managed to build up a picture of the population across britain over the last 30 years, and it is not good news. Their numbers have crashed. There are only half as many hedgehogs snuffling around the british countryside as there were 20 years ago. It isa it is a bit like a canary in a coal mine. The fact the population is declining as dramatically as it is should give us real cause for concern. The report looks at the reasons that hedgehogs might be disappearing. It says the cutting down of hedgerows and the use of pesticides has killed off the grubs and worms that hedgehogs eat and it means they have fewer places to shelter. Roads are still a big issue. Around 100,000 are killed by vehicles each year. They also preyed on by badgers and badger numbers are rising. But city hedgehogs are more fortunate. The decline has stopped and numbers are increasing in some places. The charity say this might be down to garden owners becoming more aware that hedgehogs need holes in fences in order to roam and wild areas in which to nest. They say anybody who wants to help save the spiky creatures can sign up to be a hedgehog champion. Time for a look at the weather. In the east of the country frost is forming. A lovely shot from a weather watcher in jersey. Forming. A lovely shot from a weather watcher injersey. For most of you, the sky was turning grey through the day. This is north berwick. Temperatures not dropping as much out there at the moment. Not just that, we have a slither of milder air. Those colours pushing towards us, lifting temperatures compared to recent days. A big difference to what we have had. Here is the cloud come on the satellite imagery, pushing south and east roads. There are breaks across central and eastern england, and thatis central and eastern england, and that is where we have a frost forming. Thicker cloud in scotland, northern england, wales. Some sleet and snow on the hills. Nothing too significant. Notice on the temperature chart that the blue colours are limited to parts of central, eastern and southern england in particular. One two spots in east anglia, down 2 6 in the morning. Itll take a while to get to east anglia and the south east. Through the day, we will be sitting across parts of northern england, wales and the south west through much of the time. Even through the morning rush hour we will see patchy rain or drizzle coming and going. This will be the cloudy steyn zone. Maybe if you breaks to the east of the welsh mountains across northern england. Every chance you will see rain or drizzle england. Every chance you will see rain ordrizzle in england. Every chance you will see rain or drizzle in the strengthening breeze. Along that we will see the rain turning heavy at times into the afternoon. To the north, scotland and Northern Ireland, some showers in the highlands and islands. Many will have a largely dry day with spells of hazy sunshine. Right enough, a frosty start to east anglia and the east before the cloud increases and that stops temperatures increasing too much. Still it into double figures in parts of wales and cornwall. It is here where the rain really peps up. Overnight it will spread across england and wales, to east anglia, the south east. First light on friday morning for the commuters, that then clears, and then we will see a scattering of showers. Rain, sleet and snow. It turns much sunnierfor most sleet and snow. It turns much sunnier for most across the afternoon, showers in scotland and Northern Ireland being primarily snow by this stage. By friday it will feel much colder as well. Still some cold weather to come this weekend. Overall, fairly windy weather on the cards, particularly saturday night, one to watch. Some gales, rain to go with it on saturday. By sunday, as it clears and the wind is easing down a little bit, it will turn colder and brighter once again with a return to some snow flurries. This is outside source. We will begin in germany, after months of uncertainty the social democrats look like they are going to join forces with Angela Merkel look like they are going to join forces with Angela Merkel i am convinced the deal can be a basis for the good and stable government the country needs and many in the world a re the country needs and many in the world are expecting of us. There has been a deal done in the us senate. They have agreed add two year budget deal. That has to be sold to the house of representatives and of course president too. Looks like north koreas leader is going to send his sister to the Opening Ceremony of the Winter Olympics, we will find out what we know about her.
