Lizzy yarnold has won team gbs first gold medal at the Winter Olympics in south korea. Shes won the womens skeleton, making yarnold the first british competitor to defend a winter olympic title. Yarnold headed into the final run 0. 02 seconds behind leaderjanine flock, but a poor finish from the austrian saw her drop out of the medal places. Our sport correspondent is in pyeongchang. An extraordinary day here, one that will live long in british olympic memory. The most successful in british winter olympic history. Thats largely because of Lizzy Yarnold winning the gold medal here in the skeleton and defending her title. Her parentsjoin me now. Clive, can you sum up your emotions . Its unbelievable emotion, that lizzy has achieved what she said she would. She has done it and it is mind blowing. We will take days and weeks to get to realise and accept what she has done. It is mad. And judith, you saw it four years ago in sochi, now in pyeongchang. Your daughter is the most decorated winter olympian ever. Is that sinking in yet . Not at all i was terrified, through all four runs, i just wanted them over is that awful to say . I wanted them to get to the end, to be safe and fast. She is amazing under pressure, look at what she has done she said she would do it for our country and she has. It hasnt sunk in, at all and it wasnt an easy path, since sochi. Today we have a gold medal and a bronze medal, with laura deas and izzy atkin in the skiing, that makes an incredible day for Great Britain . Yes, four medals, nearly up to the tally that they predicted. It hasnt been easy for lizzy, she didnt make the cut in one race. Just one of those up and down seasons. But as lizzy is, she produced in the event she needed to and for everyone at home, she will share those memories with everyone at home and it is a medal for the country, notjust lizzy. Two very proud parents, your daughter has made history and rightly you should be very proud. A day british olympic competitors and fans will never forget. It is one that has made history, and it could get even better because we still have just over one week of competition left. Three medals in the Winter Olympics today and four in total, the most successful single day in british winter olympic history. And Lizzy Yarnold, the gold medallist and the most decorated british winter olympian of all time. Lizzy yarnold is not alone on the podium. Her team mate laura deas got a bronze medal in the event. It took the british medal count on saturday to three, after izzy atkin claimed a ski slopestyle bronze. Joe lynskey reports. Weeks and months on snow and ice can come down to just an instant. At these games, a few seconds can turn joy to despair. This was elise christies second medal shot. With a lap to go, she had a route to the final. She had to finish in the top two, but this happened. And its between zhou yang and christie now. And christie has crashed again now this most brutal sport can have the most painful ending. And for christie, heartbreak also comes with jeopardy, her favourite event starts in three days time. She now has a race to recover. Right now, im not bothered about medals, im thinking about elise right now. And hopefully, the injurys not a significant one. But as i say, as a precaution, shes gone to hospital to get a scan. But it looked a pretty heavy fall to me. For christie, this has been the cruelest week, but her bad luck comes as her teams fortunes are improving. For izzy atkin, this was a twist into history, bronze in slopestyle is a first british medal won on skis. The american born teenager needed a flawless final run. She had the tricks and the nerve to see it through. I was standing at the bottom after my third and final run. I know i had skied the best i could. And i wasjust waiting, you know, for that last was it three orfourgirls to drop, and my heart was racing. But yeah, i cant believe it. For team gb, these games have been Ground Breaking and heartbreaking. At the olympics, four years hard work can be defined in a moment. Members of ukip are in birmingham this afternoon discussing whether henry bolton should remain the partys leader. Ukips National Executive committee backed a vote of no confidence in him last month, after it emerged his former girlfriend had sent a series of racist messages about prince harrys fiancee meghan markle. But he has refused to stand down. Our reporter Kathryn Stanczyszyn is in birmingham. Bring us today. Were at the business end of what is happening at this general meeting of the ukip. As you can see, on the stage behind me, the vote of the membership that have gathered in birmingham are being counted, that bang around 15 minutes ago, we expect to get a result of approximately half an hour. We believe around 2000 people here today who have come to decide henry boltons fate. It is a hundreds more barn were expected here, saying around 2000 people, ukip not giving us around 2000 people, ukip not giving usa around 2000 people, ukip not giving us a finalfigure. Around 2000 people, ukip not giving us a final figure. They all got an orange slip when they came in and then had to exchange that for a white ballot paper, so there is a process of verification going on. First indications seem it is very tight, some unscientific polling being done at this week, various bits of ukip saying it will be close and that appears to be what we are seeing now, bill henry bolton waiting anxiously to find out. That is whether he will be the leader. He says he wants to reform a professionalise and unite the party but appears waiting to see if he will get to do that. Membership seems to be split, something hes the man for the job, seems to be split, something hes the man for thejob, nigel farage coming out in favour of him saying he may have some faults, but he is the manner to stop the party sliding into irrelevance. Other members say it is time for him to go, the agree with the nec on this vote of no confidence that they passed that he is not the right man to take ukip allwood. So it is a feeling of excitement in the room, everyone anxiously waiting for the result but up if it does not go henry balsams way, he has indicated he will resign with immediate effect. That sparks yet another leadership campaign. Thank you very much. We will be back there when there is a result. Theresa may has called for a new deep and special partnership after brexit to ensure the uk and eu can continue to Work Together on security. In a speech in germany, the Prime Minister said that the uks commitment to protecting europe from threats was unconditional, but warned that failing to cooperate would put everyone at risk. In response the president of the European Commission said he would welcome a close Security Alliance but it must be negotiated separately from brexit. Our chief Political Correspondent vicki young reports. In defence and security, the uk is a significant player and the Prime Minister hopes that will get her a special deal. She arrived in munich, keen to lay out britains contribution. Generous spending on defence and expertise it wants to share, even after brexit. Theresa may urged the eu to take a practical approach. This cannot be a time when any of us allow competition between partners, rigid, institutional restrictions, or deep seated ideology to inhibit our cooperation and jeopardise the security of our citizens. Shes calling for a new security treaty so the Close Partnership can continue. Failure to agree one would have damaging consequences, she said. We must do what ever is practical and pragmatic in ensuring our collective security. Those who threaten our security would like nothing more than to see us fractured, so let the message ring out loud and clear today, we will not let that happen. Some listening to this were left bewildered. Things would be so much easier if you stayed, so here comes the questions. Mrs may didnt agree. Brexit was a democratic decision that politicians had to respect and one senior brussels figure seemed to agree. The Commission President said the eu wasnt at war with the uk and didnt want to take revenge on the british people. He said the security bridge would be maintained, but you cannot mix it up with other issues. So it is a familiar message from theresa may. The uk is leaving the European Union, but that doesnt mean close cooperation needs to end. And it is a blunt message too. Saying to europes leaders, dont let your ideology get in the way of the safety of our citizens. The government hopes this speech shows it is acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. President trump has met survivors of wednesdays High School Shooting in florida, in which 17 people died. He thanked the Emergency Services and medical staff who treated the wounded. It comes as pressure mounts on the fbi over the agencys failure to act on a tip that suspect nikolas cruz might carry out an attack. Barbara plett usher reports. The funerals have begun. These students were saying goodbye to a 14 year old classmate. They and their parents have been calling for action from President Trump so other teenagers wont die this way. He and the first lady visited some of the injured still in hospital, including a woman who had been shot four times. He congratulated the medical staff. Reporter do our gun laws need to be changed, mr president . But ignored a question about tougher gun control. This is where the president is in his element, meeting First Responders who rescued the wounded and captured the killer. He piled on the praise for their speed and bravery. His wife thanked them for protecting the children. They are our future, and lets take care of them because they went through a lot and what they experienced, two days ago, we need to take care of them. The president is talking about making schools safer and has linked the violence to Mental Health issues rather than guns. The young man who carried out the attack, nikolas cruz, was a troubled youth who loved guns and found it easy to buy them. It has emerged that fbi ignored a tip off about him last month. The caller warned he had the potential to carry out a School Shooting. So, mistakes by Law Enforcement add a new twist to a grimly familiar argument. Mass shootings in america revive continuing debates about gun control. But a School Shooting like this one boils the issue down to a stark question how can we keep our children safe . And the people here willjudge their president on how he responds to that. Barbara plett usher, bbc news, south florida. A minor earthquake with a 4. 4 magnitude has affected parts of wales and england. The British Geological survey said the epicentre was approximately 20km north north east of swansea and at a depth of 4. 5 miles. It says events of this magnitude only happen in the uk every 2 3 years. Shaking has been reported across south wales, the south west of england and the midlands. On the line is roger musson, from the British Geological survey. I gave the headline element to this story in the introduction. Tell us more what is known at this stage. This is the largest earthquake we have had in britain in the last ten yea rs, have had in britain in the last ten years, in the east of england in 2008, this one has been felt all over wales, most of western england, felt as far east as london and as far north as the southern edge of the lake district. Tell us about the information on any damage that may have been done. Havent heard any reports of damage, but it is a little bit early. The earthquake only happened about 1. 5 hours ago. An earthquake of this size has got the potential to cause damage, but i would expect any damage, but i would expect any damage to be caused to be minor. And part of that is to do with the depth, isnt it . This is relatively shallow for a larger british earthquake, often when we get an earthquake of this size, they are much deeper, about 15 calamities or 20 kilometres down, and at that depth, decor is very little damage. That was the case ten yea rs little damage. That was the case ten years ago. That was 18 kilometres down and it caused virtually no damage at the epicentre. We are showing images on the screen of the map that shows the area of where most people were aware of what was going on, and some tweets of people concerned, South Wales Police announcing the fact there has been a minor earthquake. You have put it into context in terms of the comparative rarity of this. When britain is hit by albeit a minor earthquake, is possible to identify parts of the country that are more vulnerable than others . You can identify parts of the country that have earthquakes like this more frequently and the area around swansea is a hotspot. It has been peppered with earthquakes of this size throughout the recorded history, though the last one was 1906, so given the average time between earthquakes this size in the swa nsea between earthquakes this size in the swansea area was Something Like 75 yea rs, swansea area was Something Like 75 years, then this one is a bit late and seismologists have been wondering when the next swansea earthquake would be. Now we have the answer. What is the priority now in terms of work done at once Something Like this has happened . We are gathering as much information as possible and a lot of light is it comes from people sending in information about how they felt it and where they were. We have an online questionnaire on the website and it is great if people can fill that in, and that gives us information of how the strength of the shaking deteriorated with distance, and that is useful information. Viewers who felt that should fill in your questionnaire . Thats exactly it. Thank you for coming on.

Jovenel moise told the Reuters News Agency that one charity, medecins sans frontiers, had repatriated some its staff from haiti without any explanation. John mcmanus reports. Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. Oxfam has been on the defensive over allegations that some of its staff paid prostitutes here. I always dreamed of working for them. This woman spoke anonymously to the bbc and says she was attacked by a colleague. He pinned me up against the wall, he was groping me, grabbing me, kissing me and i was just trying to shove him off. And got him off eventually and he got mad and he threw his glass at me.

The president said msf had to repatriate about 17 people for misconduct, without any explanation why. In response, msf said msf has already admitted that it fired 19 Staff Members last year after allegations of harassment or sexual assault. So how widespread is the problem . Oxfam are not alone in this, every agency in the aid sector has the problem that we work in a sector that attracts the vulnerable, that works, sorry, supports vulnerable people. And therefore attracts predators. Meanwhile, oxfams uk had says the evidence in haiti were a disgrace but also told the Guardian Newspaper that certainly the intense scrutiny of the aid sector is unlikely to stop soon.

The conviction today relates only to the case of six year old zainub, and he was given a total of four death sentences. The verdict was welcomed by zainubs family who have called on him to be publicly executed. That is not likely to happen.
