British Islamic State members captured in syria, have called for them to face justice in court. Alexanda kotey and El Shafee El Sheikh were part of a team of four is members whose british accents earned them the nickname the beatles. Us Officials Say the group are accused of executing 27 hostages. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford has more. They became the most infamous gang of foreign fighters in the self styled Islamic State, callous torturers and public executioners of hostages. Jihadijohn, his real name mohammed emwazi, now dead. Aine davis, in prison in turkey. And the two men captured last month, Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh. The two were detained by american backed syrian kurd fighters. Kotey, the kurds said today, was trying to escape into turkey. The gang are suspected of beheading alan henning, a driver and aid worker from eccles, and david haines, seen here in croatia, a former raf engineer and long time aid workerfrom perth. This morning, his daughter, bethany, was finally contemplating what punishment two of his suspected killers should face. They should die a long, slow, painful death. And i think quite a lot of people will understand that, that they shouldnt be allowed to live. But realistically, thats not going to happen. And i have to come to terms with that. And the best thing for them is to be locked up and throw away the key. They should never be allowed back in society, because they willjust recruit people and they will just do this again. And for the sake of her father, if they end up in court, she will go to watch. If it goes to trial, i will certainly be there, i will certainly want to look them in the eye and let them know that i am who i am, and they have destroyed a big part of my life. And hopefully there will be some sort ofjustice. Some of the gangs hostages were freed, including former french reporter, nicolas henin. He wants them to have the fairest trial possible. I would not be happy if they were just sent to guantanamo bay, because this is denial ofjustice. If we wantjustice, we need to give them the trial that would satisfy them, but also the victims. The british men detained last month are El Shafee Elsheikh, who arrived in syria from britain in 2012, and Alexanda Kotey, who left the uk on an aid convoy to gaza in 2009, and also ended up in syria. Their gang is accused by the us of beheading at least 27 hostages, including alan henning, david haines and americans james foley, peter kassig and steven sotloff. They are also accused of water boarding, mock executions, crucifixions and electric shock torture. Alexanda kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh grew up close to each other in quite a small area of west london, near to the a40 flyover. It became infamous as an is recruiting ground. As well as mohammed emwazi, jihadijohn, some half a dozen other men from these streets died fighting for is in either syria or iraq. At El Shafee Elsheikhs house, his parents, who had another son killed in syria, asked the media to leave. Theres nothing we can say, no comment whatsoever. Please, please, let us be in peace. Their son and Alexanda Kotey have had their british citizenship removed already. Now a trial, possibly in the united states, seems the most likely outcome. Daniel sandford, bbc news. Gale of suffering in syria continues according to the United Nations. The scale of suffering. More than 240 civilians are thought to have been killed in the besieged areas this week. After five Straight Days of bombing by syrian warplanes and artillery. The assistant secretary general at the United Nations and the un regional coordinator for syria explained why he is among those calling for a ceasefire. We have seen a massive besiege area and some 4000 people have been living in extreme situations. We have more than 700 medical cases of people who need to move out. We have not been able to bring humanitarian assistance to the besieged places for over two months. It is a situation which cannot continue any longer. We average a point where we feel enough is enough. It is time to act ina feel enough is enough. It is time to act in a way that ensures women and children who are in desperate situation receive assistance and the injured are able to come out. Just last year, the un only got access to 2796 last year, the un only got access to 27 of its request to get access to opposition areas by the syrian government. The un is failing miserably in terms of getting a grip on this. I would say what is really happening at the moment is there is a failure of humanitarian diplomacy, a failure of humanitarian diplomacy, a failure of humanitarian diplomacy, a failure to bring a solution to a problem which has been going on for seven years. It is a country which has been seriously affected. 30 Million People are in need, more than 6 Million People are internally displaced. It is a situation which is very difficult. We are able to help 7. 5 Million People every month through a regular programme of assistance inside syria and from cross border countries. What we are unable to do is to reach the people in the most desperate need, in the besieged areas and hard to reach areas. Really, something needs to change. We cannot continue like this not being able to reach the most vulnerable within syria. But as you said, this has been going on for seven years. You have much time to raise your voice. Are you not put enough pressure on the regime to get access to drive humanitarian aid to those people who need it . At the moment we are in contact with the government of syria and we are in contact with every single government capital we think can be of help, to help us reach these people who are in this desperate situation. This is not happening, this is not moving any further. Last year we reached about a quarter of what we should have done from the cross line syria operations. Within two months this has come to a complete halt. It cannot be business as usual. The reports, the pictures, the images we are getting every day in ghouta and idlib are really quite dramatic. Health facilities should not be targeted, civilians should not be targeted. But how effective can you be if you have russia continually supporting assad 7 be if you have russia continually supporting assad . What can you genuinely do . We always say the humanitarian response cannot be a problem. A solution to what is a political problem. What needs to happen is the political will, the commitment, the consciousness of politicians and government to bring pressures so politicians and government to bring pressures so there is an improvement to peoples lives in these situations. The siege matt, conflict is definitely not a way forward. What we need to see is a ceasefire so we can what we need to see is a ceasefire so we can bring humanitarian assistance and also take out the medical cases of people whose lives are medical cases of people whose lives a re really medical cases of people whose lives are really on the line. The assista nt are really on the line. The assistant secretary general of the United Nations is among those calling for a ceasefire. President trump has called the departure of a former white house aide accused of Domestic Violence very sad and wished him well. Staff secretary rob porter resigned following he abused his following accusations he abused his two ex wives. He did a very good job when he was in the white house and we hope he has a wonderful career and hopefully he will have a great career ahead of him. But it was very sad when we heard about it and he is also very sad. And he also, as you probably know, he is innocent and you have to remember that. He said very strongly that he is innocent. But we absolutely wish him well. He did a very good job when he was at the white house. I asked our correspondent Barbara Plett usher to give more background on this starting with reports earlier this week that this white house aide had abused his two ex wives. Week that this white house aide had abused his two exwives. The white house defended him. But a photograph was published showing one of the ex wives with a black eye. The narrative changed in the white house said he they were taking action against him and he resigned. The question of what the white house knew and when it knew, it continued to bubble up because the timeline keeps changing, particularly the role of the chief of Staffjohn Kelly and the communications staff. These are the people who were supposed to bring order to the white house to make it run smoothly and now they are embroiled in this controversy. We heard the president say this was very sad and he wishes him well. Is he supporting him . Say this was very sad and he wishes him well. Is he supporting him7m certainly sounds that way. It sounds like hes continuing to defend him, wishing him well, saying he hopes he does well in his career, and rather than take a stand against Domestic Violence, he said remember that mr porter says he is innocent. This is a pattern we have seen before when certain people within his orbit are accused of egregious behaviour, rather than condemning the behaviour he suggests there might be two sides to the story. This approach is tone deaf. The president is the top law enforcer in the country and he is not calling out Domestic Violence. And given the current environment with me too which is in the news at the moment. Uber has settled around with the company waymo. Settled a row. Uber has agreed to give waymo shares in its firm worth 245 million but it could have been worse. We were talking in the region of more than 1 billion if the jury ruled that these trade secrets had been stolen and used. It is that crucial part that using them was what waymo was trying to prove over the course of the trial. There was a suggestion that the reason these two companies have come to this settle m e nt companies have come to this settlement is because it is mutually beneficial. 0n ubers side they can put this behind them. They can move on and not worry about this case going on and airing any more dirty laundry. 0n waymos side, they get an increased stake in uber. They already have small ownership, now they have a bit more. And also they can keep an eye on what youve is doing himself driving technology which has been their aim all along. This is about making sure for waymo but they stay ahead in the race to bring self driving cars and the self driving fleet of taxis to the roads. They were trying to slow down ubers progress by accusing them of getting an unfair advantage by stealing these trade secrets. They were not doing a particularly good job in court of convincing the jury. I dont think those trade secrets were used. So a settlement like this has benefits for both parties. So what impactapart benefits for both parties. So what impact apart from the awkward situation of the accusations of stealing trade secrets, what impact has had on both businesses . stealing trade secrets, what impact has had on both businesses . I think for uber it has been a huge distraction. The new chief executive wrote a letter today to investors and employers and in that he said he regrets what happened although he was not at the company at the time. He also apologised to staff for the big distraction this had caused, ie the people working on the self driving team, have essentially had to put down their tools because of this case, and only now can they start working on it again. I think the Immediate Impact will be that uber can begin its work in self driving once more. Also looking ahead a little bit. Many people predict that uber will become a public company, perhaps in 2019. This case and the potential damages was hanging over the company. Now they have managed to put this behind them and i think the idea that it could go public in 2019, becomes a lot more likely than it was before. Dave lee reporting from sunny San Francisco.

My name is nathan chen, i am a us figure skater. Figure skating isa a us figure skater. Figure skating is a combination of artistry and athleticism in a really cool package. Everything is super precise about our sport but there is a lot of emotion in our programmes and it will definitely be a sport to watch in the games. The quads i am planning, any quads take a lot out of everybody. You put all your exertion in a split second and it is all technical and timing. Right after thatjump all technical and timing.

Head of the big match between england and wales in the six nations the england coach eddiejones has been questioning whether the welsh fly half Rhys Patchell has the bottle for the games. This is what the captain had to say in reply. People forget Rhys Patchell has been in the squad for a good few years now. He would probably like a few more caps but he has experience of being around the camp. It is a step up, no being around the camp. It is a step up, no one being around the camp. It is a step up, no one will deny that. But he is ready for that and focused on the job at hand. That is all the sport for now. Thank you. The eus chief brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, has issued a stark warning to the uk effectively telling the british government, you cant have your cake and eat it. 0ur deputy political editor, john pienaar, reports. Brexit is coming and time is running short. Just 13 months before britain is officially out of the european union, and today the eu had a sharp warning. Sort out key sticking points, or there will be no deal and no transition. Britains brexit secretary met the eu chief negotiator in downing street on monday. Friendly enough, butjust weeks to thrash out the shape of a brexit transition. Today, with a big eu summit next month, Michel Barnier had a blunt message, in terms easy to understand. If these disagreements persist, the transition is not given. So much to sort out, and talks are getting prickly. 0n the rights of migrants who arrive after the brexit date, will brussels block trade if britain breaks eu rules . The brexit secretary called it discourteous. Mr barnier disagreed. Translation throughout these negotiations, my attitude has not been in the least discourteous or vindictive. We have never wished to punish the uk. It is totally foreign to my state of mind. And how to leave the eu without bringing back a hard north south irish border. Nobody wants that but. It is important to tell the truth. A uk decision to leave the Single Market and to leave the Customs Union would make border checks unavoidable. It is notjust a political problem at this shoe shop in newry, northern ireland. These shoes are meant for walking, on both sides of the border. Customs and tariffs could mean a business like this running into trouble. We need easy access from the factory to our shop floor. If there is a hard border, there will be hold ups all the way along that we cannot predict. But the Unionist Party shoring up the government in Parliament Says tonight, the brexit secretary is saying he is surprised that mr barnier is not clear that britain wants to go on trading as now during a transition. The government is hoping for compromise in negotiations, but if there is no transition deal next month, ministers will have to prepare britain and British Business for the possibility of a cliff edge brexit. If there is a transition deal it is onto deciding the ambitions for brexit, which divide parliament, tory mps and the cabinet. One day, one crisis at a time. Now lets take a look at some other stories. President trump has signed in new spending bill into law ending a brief government shutdown. Congress passed the legislation after a midnight deadline was missed. Fiscal conservatives had not liked the bill.

The eiffel tower in paris has been shut for the second time this week because of snow and black ice. The french capital is covered in a heavy blanket of snow that has brought some parts of the transport system to a halt. But not everyone is complaining. Heres our correspondent, hugh schofield. For the second time this week, snowy weather has blown into paris from the west, setting off to good effect for tourists, some of the most popular landmarks. The city was just getting over the previous heavy fall on tuesday. That caused some disruption to transport on road and rail. Parks were shut as freezing temperatures overnight turned slush to ice. I love it. Im used to coming to paris when it is sunny. I have never been here in the snow before. As a tourist i dont like it because lots of things are closed but it is beautiful. You cannot not enjoy it. Translation i think some roads should have been cleared quicker, but then that is the weather, nothing out of the ordinary. I think we should look at the positives. Snow is actually quite beautiful. At this airbase just west of the capital, snowploughs have been brought out to clear the runways. And one adventurous soul had a flaky answer to the transport problem. Now there is a skiing fan. Yes, flaky indeed just time to tell you that all good fairy tales say if you that all good fairy tales say if you kiss a frog you could end up with a prince.
