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. Ive been speaking to the former performance director of british skeleton, simon timson. He described team gbs wins today as sensational. It is absolutely incredible. I am on a ski holiday and could hardly ski this morning, my legs were jelly with anticipation. We were all hanging around the tv in a mountain restaurant. My wife had to quieten me down for cheering when they secured the medals. The hardest bit was looking at lauras face when lizzie came down, thinking, am i going to get squeezed out of a medal . Then the austrian made a couple of big mistakes and lost out. We were celebrating gold and bronze, which was incredible. How long ago did the team start working and preparing for the kind of success we are now seeing . It all started back in the late 90s with two fantastic athletes. Kristin went on to be a world champion, alex won bronze in 2002. That enabled us to put in place a 10 year strategy to try to win an olympic winter gold medal. Amy williams fulfilled that in vancouver. Lizzie repeated four years later in sochi. Now the first ever british winter olympians to defend their title and win a second gold medal. I dont think even andy who has been in the programme for 16 years and succeeded me as performance director, would have dreamt we would win half the medals on offer at these games. It truly is something very special. A huge achievement for the athletes, the coaches and all the support staff. And don parsons took a medal on thursday, lets not forget him. What makes a great skeleton athlete . The formula is quite simple. They need to be a really good athlete, fast sprinter, and you saw laura and lizzie beat two of the fastest starters in the race. It starts fast but you have to be calm and cool on the sled, make small adjustments and steers. Good hand eye coordination, really good feel for the sled on the ice. The different pressures on the corner, its quite a sensitive piece of equipment. It is highly skilled driving that makes the difference. It looks like you are just throwing yourself down a slope on a tea tray, to the untrained eye, how important are these suits they wear . Nobody is too disappointed, the opposition spent a lot of time talking about our suits. At the end of the day, you have to run really fast and then it comes down to the drive. The skill of steering the sled through the corners, controlling the pressure, avoiding the little bumps that can shave off hundreds or tenths of a second. The suits help but you still have to start fast and drive well. And have nerves of steel . Absolutely, that really helps. How cool and calm was lizzie on that final run . She put down a track record that meant she had the two fastest times in the race of the first run and fourth run, the biggest pressure runs. The true hallmarks of a champion. Lets not forget laura as well. Fantastic final run. It gave laura the opportunity to win a bronze. A brilliant day for british winter sports. Three medals we probably wouldnt have thought about going into the day. A sensational performance by team gb. Theresa may has urged European Union leaders not to put lives at risk by blocking a security deal after brexit because of deep seated ideology. The Prime Minister was speaking at a security conference in munich. Mrs may said that that nothing must get in the way of britain and the eu helping each other to keep people safe. The Prime Minister said that real political will is required to safeguard Intelligence Co operation which has developed over the decades. People across europe are safer because of this cooperation and the unique arrangements we have developed between the uk and eu institutions in recent years. So it is in all of our interests to find ways to protect the capabilities that underpin this cooperation when the uk becomes a european country outside the eu, but in a new partnership with it. To make this happen will require real political will on both sides. I recognise there is no existing Security Agreement between the eu and a third country that captures the full depth and breadth of our existing relationship, but there is precedent for comprehensive strategic relationships between the eu and third countries in other fields, such as trade, and there is no legal or operational reason why such an agreement could not be reached in the area of internal security. However, if the priority in the negotiations becomes avoiding any kind of new cooperation with a country outside the eu, then this political doctrine and ideology will have damaging real world consequences for the security of all our people in the uk and the eu. Lets be clear about what would happen if the means of this in response the European Commission president Jean Claude Juncker said that since the eu was not at war with britain over its decision to leave, the security bridge should be maintained. Translation regarding the question of Security Policy. There are commonalities between the eu and the uk and i would like to say that i believe, since we are not at war with the uk, since we would not take revenge on the uk for what the british people has decided, so, this Security Alliance, the security bridge between the uk and the eu will be maintained. It is still needed. However, you cannot mix up this question with other questions that are important, in the context of brexit. You have to look at them individually and have the answer to each question matter by matter but i do not want to mix up Security Policy considerations with other considerations. Ukip have voted to remove their leader henry bolton after less than six months in the job. 63 of Party Members supported the motion of no confidence, following the controversy over racist messages sent by his then partner. The party will now have its fourth leadership election since 2016. The interim leader is gerard batten, one of the partys meps. Henry bolton said he was disappointed by the result, but was unsure if ukip had a future as a political party. If you look at the challenging event list that they have embarked upon, the egm today, interim leadership, then another leadership contest, and we are talking 90 days down the road, thats exactly the same but time as local government elections. In between all that they still must hold the National ExecutiveCommittee Election which they have postponed twice for whatever reasons. It is a hugely challenging time for the party. A time when it should be on the battlefield, delivering messages on getting out of the eu. Why do you think you lost today . It range of reasons, the main one that any seed does hold a huge amount of power in the party. I wanted to reduce that power, so we could professionalise the party. Make it fit for purpose, but whenever you implement change there are some people who use own interests a re threatened by that. Change is not always an easy thing for people to accept. I spoke to suzanne evans, former ukip deputy chair, who called on nigel farage to return as ukips leader. Nigel farage has backed the last three utterly useless leaders of ukip. He backed diane james, who lasted less than two weeks. He backed paul nuttall who turned out to be a disaster. He backed henry bolton who turned out to be even worse. Nigel has got us into this position, and i think he should come back and sort out this mess. He has had terriblejudgment choosing leaders but was a very good ukip leader himself. We need somebody in ukip now who is a strong leader, who can really fight for this party and fight for this country and fight for the brexit, the clean brexit, that the people voted for. I want to say to him, come back, i know you and i have had our differences but come back, lead this party. If you are not prepared to do that, and you are being paid a huge salary by the European Parliament to be a full time politician, and not an occasional politician and a full time celebrity, do your duty by this party and this country. If you dont want to, then please get out of ukips way and let them choose a leader without any interference from you, because you have shown such poor judgment in the past. On security after brexit. Theresa may said a new treaty on foreign and Defence Policy should be effective by next year. The challenge for all of us today is finding the way to Work Together through a deep and special partnership between the uk and the eu. No more at the centre of his party henry bolton is ousted as leader of ukip. Lizzy yarnold, she goes to the front, and how Lizzy Yarnold leads the way, on a historic day for team gb at the Winter Olympics. And the olympic scandal of 1994 turned into a bafta nominated biopic. Good evening. The Prime Minister has called for a new security treaty with the European Union after brexit, warning that lives could be at risk without full co operation. In a speech in germany, theresa may said new arrangements over working together should be effective by next year. The president of the European Commission, Jean Claude Juncker, agreed that a post brexit Security Alliance was necessary but said it should be negotiated separately from other issues, such as trade. Our Political Correspondent vicki young reports from munich. In defence and security the uk is a significant player. 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 that the Close Partnership can continue. Failure to agree one would have damaging consequences, she said. We must do whatever is most practical and pragmatic in ensuring our collective security. Those who threaten our security would like nothing more than to see us fractured. Some listening to this were left bewildered. The brexit decision from the point of view of us inside the eu is extremely regrettable. Things would be so much easier if you stayed. So here comes the question. Applause mrs may pointed out that brexit was a democratic decision politicians should respect. One senior brussels figure seemed to agree. The Commission PresidentJean Claude Junker said the eu wasnt at war wief eee {jee ee eieee he eeee ee eee he said the security bridge would be maintained, but you couldnt mix it up with other issues. Conservative mps attending the conference here believe the speech is a good starting point for talks. Weve got to start getting into the detail of this. One thing we can do is improve our offer around defence and security, and i do think we need to have another look in the uk as to how we prioritise security. So its a pretty familiar message from theresa may. The uk is leaving the European Union but that doesnt mean close cooperation needs to end. And its a blunt message, too, saying to eu leaders, dont let your ideology get in the way of the safety of our citizens. The government hopes todays speech will show its acting responsibly, not wanting to drag the important issue of security into fraught brexit negotiations. Vicki young, bbc news, munich. Our Political CorrespondentSusana Mendonca is here. Weve had two big speeches this week on brexit are we any clearer on the way forward . Well i think wed still a long way to go before we know what brexit going to look like but if you look at the speech as weve had so far they seem to be about building bridges. Theresa may talking about that cooperation, unconditional cooperation between britain and the eu. Certainly the eu Commission President made it clear that cooperation on security doesnt mean cooperation on security doesnt mean cooperation on security doesnt mean cooperation on trade. But it went down well with the europeans, went down well with the europeans, went down well with her brexiteers. When you look at Boris Johnsons down well with her brexiteers. When you look at borisjohnsons speech last week he was talking about bringing together remainers and brexiteers and looking at the positives but there wasnt much in the way of substance. In terms of what well get over the next week we understand there will be a series of speeches in this road to brexit theme were getting from number ten. Well have speeches from david davis, we understand David Lidington will give a speech where he talks about devolution. Something from liam fox, also talking about the positives. We are expecting a lot of speeches, whether or not we get the detail we are after remains to be seen. Thank you. Ukip has voted to remove its leader, henry bolton, following controversy over racist messages sent by his former partner about prince harrys fiancee, meghan markle. Mr bolton had refused to stand down but today over 60 of members backed a motion of no confidence in him. The party is now looking for its fifth leader in 18 months as our Political Correspondent alex forsyth reports. Therefore henry bolton has been removed by the democratic decision of the membership. And with that, ukip bid farewell to another short lived leader. Henry bolton had put his fate in the hands of the Party Members and five months after they elected him they voted him out. You dont embark on Something Like this, obviously, hoping to win through, and then find that you dont win through, without feeling, you know, some disappointment, of course. But hey, you know, take it on the chin and move on. It was his relationship with jo marney that led to questions over his future. She sent a series of offensive messages leading ukips ruling body to demand he quit. Today, Party Members voted and they endorsed that decision. So the mep, gerard batten, has ta ken over temporarily. Before the fourth leadership contest in 18 months. Costly for a cash strapped party. Ukip has to continue because we are the only opposition. This party was riding high after the brexit referendum, but since then its been in turmoil, struggling for direction and leadership. And there is a risk todays result could only deepen divisions. I think its a big mistake and i think there are very few people within the party who potentially could be leader. Can ukip survive another leadership contest now . Of course it can, of course it can. Were like, were like vampires, you stake us, we come back to life, you cant get rid of us, im sorry. Plenty here believe in ukips future, its role in the brexit debate. But many fear the turmoil at the top means it will never again be the influential force it once was. Alex forsyth, bbc news, birmingham. Team gb is celebrating its most successful day in winter olympic history. Lizzy yarnold won gold in the womens skeleton becoming the first briton ever to retain a winter olympic title. There was a bronze too in the event for her team mate laura deas, and a bronze in the ski slopestyle for izzy atkin. David ornstein reports from pyeongchang.

David ornstein, bbc news, in pyeongchang. Survivors of the shooting at a Florida School this week, which left 17 people dead, have been taking part in a rally demanding tighter gun control laws. Protestors in Fort Lauderdale chanted no more guns and attacked politicians. It comes as pressure mounts on the fbi over the agencys failure to act on a tip off that nikolas cruz, the suspected gunman, might carry out an attack. A court in pakistan has sentenced a man to death for the murder and rape of a 6 year old girl. Zainab ansaris body was found on a rubbish dump in the city of kasoor injanuary. 24 year old imran ali confessed to the killing and to attacks on other young girls. Secunder kermani reports. These are the last images of 6 year old zainab alive, being led away by the hand by the man who would rape and kill her. Her body was found on a rubbish dump five days later. Zainabs attacker was 24 year old imran ali, an acquaintance of her family. He was identified on the basis of dna evidence. After a trial lasting just four days, today he was sentenced to death. Today the court has announced the judgment. He has been convicted on four different counts and has been sentenced to death. The discovery of zainabs body led to angry protests in her hometown kasoor. At the trial, her killer admitted to having assaulted or murdered eight other young girls here over the past two years. Many believe he could have been stopped sooner. Zainabs family, though, welcomed todays verdict. Translation we are satisfied with this verdict of the death sentence, but we also want for him to be punished publicly. The murder of zainab has sparked unprecedented discussion of child abuse, normally a taboo topic in pakistan. But campaigners believe more needs to be done to educate both children and parents about the dangers, and to ensure the authorities properly investigate cases. The families of these victims now have some semblance ofjustice. But, for many, it may feel too little too late. Secunder kermani, bbc news, islamabad. A mini earthquake has shaken wales and parts of west england. You can see the large red lines here from the British Geological survey they show the tremor which was a magnitude of 4. 4. The epicentre was around 12 miles outside swansea and tremors could be felt as far as chester and bournemouth. Tremors on this scale are only felt in the uk every two to three years. While all eyes are focused on this years Winter Olympics, one of the most hotly tipped films for tomorrow nights bafta awards is i, tonya, based on events linked to the Winter Olympics of 1994. Its a biopic about the american figure skater Tonya Harding, who became notorious for her link to an attack on a fellow skater. Margot robbie plays the disgraced tonya, and allisonjanney her mother and both have received bafta nominations. Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been to meet them. I was the best figure skater in the world at one point in time. 4. 8. How do i get a fair shot here . It wasnt about telling the Tonya Harding story. The haters always say, tonya, tell the truth. We have all these unreliable narrators telling completely contradictory versions of the exact same event. I mean come on, what kind of friggin person bashes in their friends knee . The juxtaposition of everyones different point of view and story is where the dark comedy comes in. Where you see my character throw a knife at tonya. And then you cut to me saying, you know, what family doesnt have their ups and downs . I made you a champion knowing youd hate me for it. Thats the sacrifice a mother makes. I wish i had a mother like me instead of nice. You cursed me. In the movie, you assault your daughter on more than one occasion, and yet her mother in real life denies it happening. I told her side of the story very well. I think i, i understood, i had to make her a three dimensional character, she wasjust a monster. Character, she wasnt just a monster. How old are you honey . Shes a soft four. Having been a figure skater myself, i know how expensive it is to have custom skates and have the skating costumes. I know what it took for my parents to get up at five in the morning. I felt like i could tell her side of the story. What can you tell us about Tonya Harding . I dont know a Tonya Harding. Arent you her bodyguard . As a young producer and actor in the business, do you think the game is still rigged against women . Theres far more female driven content, female lead films now than even when i started, and i havent even been doing it this long. Still, is it enough . No. We still have. The statistics are so imbalanced. I think its going to take a while. But yeah. Margot robbie talking to our arts editor Will Gompertz there. You can see more on all of todays stories on the bbc news channel. Thats all from me. Goodnight. Good evening. It has been a lovely day for many, it could turn frosty overnight tonight.
