Aggressive one. What next you have to recover and thats what ive been doing in case youve been wondering what ive been up to, im sure you havent but i have been keeping my head down as much as possible. And an all star cast in finding your feet, but do they hit the mark . Well have Mark Kermodes thoughts on that, and the rest of the weeks new releases in the film review. Its 5pm. Our main story. Theres a warning that vulnerable young women are being abused across the uk and that the extent of the crimes isnt yet recognised. A serious case review has been published following operation sanctuary which saw 18 people convicted for exploiting girls in newcastle over a three year period. The government says it will look ca refully at the reviews recommendations, which also include a need for research into the cultural background of abusers. Fiona trott reports from newcastle. A city coming to terms with sanctuary. The investigation may be over but the report says Sexual Exploitation still exists, and the police know it. It is why takeaway staff across this city are being trained on how to spot potential victims. Today, a warning to all towns and cities across the uk, the safeguarding of vulnerable adults needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. It was a specific feature of the newcastle experience that it was notjust children who were victims of Sexual Exploitation. What i would like the government to do is have a really good look at the learning that is now available about abuse of adults with vulnerabilities. On the streets, victims were groomed by men mostly from pakistani, indian and bangladeshi backgrounds. They were given so many drugs and alcohol they could not defend themselves against sexual abuse. Their experiences are included in the report. Vanessa, not her real name, was a victim of Sexual Exploitation. To protect her identity we have used an actors boys. I see girls begging on the street and a normal man wearing a suit approaches them for sex. I see that all the time. The report says Sexual Exploitation still exists, charities on the ground tell us 14 year old girls are still being picked up by men in cars. Are you doing enough . We stop it with the assistance of the public so the first question to the people who have seen that, did they reported to the police . Did they take the registration, get details of the people . If thats what they are saying, i would like to think they are reporting it to us. I think it would be naive and wrong for me to suggest that because of sanctuary, and at the point the report is published, that this has stopped and that we have solved the problem. We havent. It continues, it carries on, i would suggest, in most if not all towns and cities in the uk. And that is why todays report said all towns and cities should automatically assume Sexual Exploitation is happening on their doorstep. Only then can it be tackled properly. A mother who lost her two young sons in an alleged hit and run incident has described them as amazing and cheeky boys who will be deeply missed. Six year old corey platt may and his two year old brother casper were killed on thursday when a car hit them in coventry. A 53 year old man and a 41 year old woman were later arrested on suspicion of drink driving and causing death by dangerous driving. Simonjones has this report. Flowers to mark two lives lost. The boys are on the way to the park with their mum. Two year old casper and corey, who was aged six. They were the most loving boys. They did nothing wrong. They were loved by so many people, so cheeky and corey was cheeky, artistic, mischievous, a right wrestler. Casper followed his brothers being a wrestler, being mischievous, being cocky. Just a normal little toddler. They didnt deserve this. In a statement, the boys mother louise platt may said, corey was an amazing boy. His passion in life is football, he will be deeply missed by all who have the pleasure of knowing him. How much he loved them. His smile could light up any room. The two boys were hit by a car yesterday afternoon. That were rushed to hospital with severe injuries, and neither could be saved. The boys grandfather returned to the scene struggling with what he saw. Its like a war zone, like a bomb exploded, its terrible. Lovely boys taken away, its so young, its unbelievable. They have two other brothers struggling to understand what has happened. It is a feeling shared in the community. My two are two and six years old, so its so close to home. Itsjust so scary. Children anyway. Itsjust so sad. As a mother, you try your hardest to protect them. You cant always do it. A 53 year old man and a 41 year old woman have been arrested after suspicion of drink driving and causing death by dangerous driving. The police are asking people not to speculate about what happened but do support the family through this dreadful time. European Union Leaders have been meeting in brussels, without theresa may, to discuss the eus future after brexit. Here, the government has again insisted that the uk will leave the European Customs Union after brexit despite the possibility of a defeat in commons on the issue in the coming weeks. The Prime Minister will give more details in a speech next week. Our europe correspondent Damian Grammaticas reprts from brussels. In brussels, a busy day of summits, a crush of president s and Prime Ministers in town. An unusual sight, the eus top leaders walking from one meeting to the next, but no uk leader. The day after theresa may and her cabinet thrashed out that approach to future ties, the eu leaders are still waiting to hear what the uk wants. But with this warning. It is not possible to be aligned to the European Union when it suits and not when it doesnt, that is not possible. So i think the United Kingdom really needs to square that circle and it doesnt appear to me that circle has yet been squared but hopefully when the Prime Minister speaks next week the United Kingdom will be more clear about what it wants in terms of the new relationship, and will back that up with real detail. At todays meeting the eus 27 leaders are starting to tackle some of the tricky issues the uks exit from the union creates. The most contentious, the hole left in the eu budget. At least 10 billion new rosy year, roughly 10 of current spending. So the dilemma, will some countries pay more or will some receive less . And what to do about the uks seats in the European Parliament . 73 uk meps will go, seats will be cut and some we distributed to other countries. But it is the money that will provoke the biggest arguments. Some dont want to see their payments go up, denmark is one. Is your country prepared to pay more after brexit . No, if i should keep my answer short i should say no. Britain leaving the eu will not make any of us staying richer so i think we should stay to the idea of putting a limit or cap on our budget. Others, like romania, dont want to see what they receive go down. There was a hole in the budget, is your country prepared to accept less and see cuts to spending . You know, if you listen to politicians there is usually a hole in the budget but finally things are financed so if we want to finance more, we have to pay more, it is very simple. So this is just the start of the arguments brexit could trigger among eu countries. The difficulties among themselves dont for now mean any divisions in their approach to negotiating with the uk. Our Political Correspondent chris mason is in westminster. We will hear from adam fleming seen. Chris follows the twists and turns so chris follows the twists and turns so closely. The books right now, absolutely, no to being part of a Customs Union the talks right now. The whole issue of the Customs Union is a Big Conversation at westminster around brexit. What it is. It allows the uk currently it as a member. The movement of goods around the place, without tariffs and taxes being added an stuff shuffles across borders and also wa nt shuffles across borders and also want something comes into the European Union from outside the move freely from the member of the Customs Union to the next if you are assembling a cleaner Customs Union to the next if you are assembling a cleaner or carbs assembling a vacuum cleaner or carbs and there are components from terrorist parts of the various parts of the continent, they can shovel around without charges added. In addition, there is a common tax added to stuff bulletins the outside which means if youre a member of the Customs Union, you cant go off and sign individual trade deals around the world. Those were bigoted brexit the biggest advantages is getting out of the those who advocated brexit say advantage is going out and getting new one. Plenty of mps including conservatives want to amend the trade bill coming up, saying the uk should be in some sort of Customs Union after leaving the European Union. The governments consistent position is the uk is leading the Customs Union and the Health Secretary today has repeated that position. What we want is frictionless trade, we want to find a different way. Customs union is one way of getting frictionless trade but is not the not the only way and what we are saying is we want to achieve frictionless trade, but by agreement between two sovereign bodies, the United Kingdom and the European Union. Jeremy hunt making it clear the governments position hasnt changed but there are those who are saying a Customs Union is to the uks advantage after brexit not least they say, because it would help solve the situation of the border in ireland between the republic of ireland between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland. Is that business of how you maintain a open border there. Outside of the Customs Union, which becomes rather tricky in the eyes of many. This comes down to arithmetic. Of course, the conservatives did not get a majority of last years elections are the numbers are piped for them, and the estimate is you will only need 10 12 14 conservative mps willing to back the idea of some sort of Customs Union and those who make the argument said they could well have that number, in order potentially for the government to be defeated. There will be labour mps who might side with the government he were offered brexit instinct in the Referendum Campaign but you wouldnt need many conservatives to potentially defeat the government and its lack conversation about the potential of such a defeat that now hangs in the air at westminster. Studio that is fascinating and something we might discuss with ken clarke but lets had to brussels itself and join adam fleming. Again, as we always ask, your sense for your reading of the tone and mood of this as someone whos followed it so closely . The fact is that this informal meeting of 27 leaders remaining in the eu, isnt about remaining in the eljrisnlabeul at remaining in the eljrisntabeet at all, it is small agenda brexit at all, it is small agenda item, we can to get an update from donald tusk about whats going to happen in the next few weeks need it to the next summit in march will be a big deal for brexit because that is where the eu 27 were adopt their future relationship guidelines, the stuff that the uk side was discovering at chequers yesterday. They said the more detailed the uk government comes forward with, the more detailed guidelines will be and awesome talks discussions and end product. The less detail, the less substantial. The big topic here today, the brexit angle on that, is what do they do about their seven year budget cycle starting in 2021, eiii eujiii lelli 315125 eififl the uk has truly gone and into the budget not contributing into the budget animal . Leaving a hole that could be as big as 15 billion. Those argument brewing between people who dont wa nt brewing between people who dont want to take up more and those who dont want to take less. Combine that with new pressures like migration and terrorism, and the idea of what is the eu should be trying to raise more of its own money through things like eu wide taxes. That will rumble on and on and on. Then there are brexit admin things discussed the as what you do about the 73 seats dubai that went by uk members of the European Parliament. They wont be there any more. parliament. They wont be there any more. In the eu parliament. Brexit isjust more. In the eu parliament. Brexit is just creeping more. In the eu parliament. Brexit isjust creeping into every discussion to spread the uk not being there. And doesnt stop us talking about it thank you. More from you later. The conservative mp ken clarke is in our nottingham studio for us now. Hes the former chancellor and many of state. Good evening. Good ministers saying yet again, evening. Ministers saying yet again, we will not be part of a Customs Union . And eu read this given the mass that chris was outlining for us there . Its all words and map up. They want frictionless trade and we wont break the good friday Peace Agreement with Northern Ireland and so agreement with Northern Ireland and so will have an open border with the republic of ireland, so we went a tariffs, we want a customs procedures at the border, certificate of origin and that kind of thing, well have some regulatory alignment. That is all playing with words. What we dont want is to direct new barriers to our business, oui direct new barriers to our business, our trade, our biggest and most important margit and one of the richest free trade areas in the richest free trade areaeinthe richest free trade areasinthe important market. There world. Important market. There must be a tariffs freed border and the customs process, free border afterwards. Anything less than that will undoubtedly lead to poorer. You cant keep a straight face and arguably went, and will have lasting effects, future generations will be pure than otherwise there would have been if we, extraordinary reason, go protectionist and raise barriers between ourselves and the continent. Those they can make it those who think they can make it work, those at the heart of this would say we will arrange whole new systems of operating. There wouldnt bea systems of operating. There wouldnt be a border around the world in a developed country if you could do that. Magic ones are going to be waved as the lorries go by the, the magic un to any building. Anybody. A lot of this brexit debates goes into fa ntasy, of this brexit debates goes into fantasy, it is a serious point and i dont want to sound frivolous but britain needs to be in a Customs Union. There needs a similar customs arrangements are you not in the Customs Union, i dont mind that, we will table amendments covering both the eventualities. The key thing is, nobody in the referendum on the leave side went around the point is we wa nt leave side went around the point is we want to raise new barriers to trade in the market where we sell 44 of our exports, which is one of the biggest and richest International Free trade areas in the world. You mentioned anna seabury, you said she has cross party seabury, you said she has cross party support, are we looking ata cross party support, are we looking at a position where this government where this government will be defeated on this . Anna soubry. Defeated on this . Anna soubrylj hope so, some absurdity, where we go back to have closed border between ourselves and europe. What happens then . In the wake of a government defeat . We have parliamentary sovereignty. The way these things usually work actually, is wanted becomes obvious to achieve with leading ministers that they cant persuade parliament to agree with this, then the government comes forward with its own proposals to make sure that it actually deliver something which parliament is satisfied. I voted against the government quite a lot in that early bill but that was a mess, that will be changed anyway. But this trade bill, i dont want to vote against it. I was a mainstream establishment conservatives and other referendum, almost two years ago. And the key thing is that the Government Faces up thing is that the Government Faces up to the reality, it is interest interest of jobs up to the reality, it is interest interest ofjobs and investment and a majority opinion the house of commons. And bring oppose those forward for a customs arrangements which went suddenly create costs, delays and handicap from exporters and Multinational Companies and damage areas like car manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and chemicals. And other areas. A useful point to and now, we will see what emerges in the next couple of weeks and discuss at them. Thank you, ken clarke. The Un Security Council has delayed a vote on a temporary ceasefire in syria to allow for badly needed humanitarian aid deliveries. There were more air strikes today targeting the rebel held area of Eastern Ghouta, near damascus, which has been under heavy bombardment since sunday. More than 400 people are reported to have been killed. Live to the un in new york and our correspondent nick bryant. What is the hold up . What appears to be happening . We are supposed to have a vote an hour ago which got delayed, we was both avid read a few minutes ago which were delayed as well. They are haggling over the wording of this resolution. It has been drafted by the kuwait and swedish, russians attracted to it yesterday and called for a ceasefire which allowed humanitarian convoys into places like Eastern Ghouta and evacuations, as many people are urgently needed medical help in Eastern Ghouta alone. The russians came up with amendments, some were included. Some havent then. They are still haggling over the draft, they are told there will be a vote of about two or three hours time. Im also told the fact that there is a negotiation still ongoing, is broadly positive sign the russians might be able to agree to this because theyve used their veto in the past i because theyve used their veto in the past 11 times on syria. What western, complaining is that they are using delaying tactics so the assad regime continues their combine, the bombardment this morning with some of the most intensely seen this week. Continues their campaign. Thank you. President trump has repeated his call for some teachers to carry concealed weapons so that they can protect their schools from gun attacks. In a speech to conservative activists donald trump said the controversial plan, which has been criticised by many, was essential to keep students safe. When we declare our schools to be gun free zones, itjust put our students in far more danger. Cheering. Well trained, gun adept teachers and coaches and people that work in those buildings for people that were in the marines for 20 years and retired. People in the army, the navy, the air force, the coast guard, people that are adept with weaponry and with guns. They teach. I mean, i dont want to have 100 guards standing with rifles all over the school. You do a concealed carry permit. Cheering. An awful lot of what the president said at the conference related to gun control or gun measures in light of the mass shooting at the florida school. He did touch on other topics and talked about north korea as well. He confirmed further sanctions have been imposed on north korea. We imposed today the heaviest sanctions ever imposed on a country before. Cheering. And frankly, hopefully something positive can happen, we will see, but hopefully something postitive can happen. But that was Just Announced and i want to let you know. We have imposed the heaviest sanctions ever imposed. President trump made that speech in the last hour. Lets look at other news. A fourth british tourist has died as a result of the Helicopter Crash in the grand canyon nearly a fortnight ago. Jonathan udall, who was in his 30s and from brighton, was on honeymoon. His wife, Ellie Milward remains in a Critical Condition in hospital, along with another british woman and the helicopter pilot. Royal bank of scotland, which is majority owned by taxpayers, has recorded an annual profit for the first time in a decade.

Districtjudge gary lucie said there had been a complete lack of remorse from mr chappell after bhs collapsed leaving a pensions deficit. The actor and broadcaster stephen fry has revealed hes been battling Prostate Cancer. The 60 year old tweeted a 13 minute video, in which he revealed that he discovered he had cancer in his prostate following an mri scan. Heres what he had to say following his operation. As far as we know, its all been got. Are there greater chances of me getting other kinds of cancer now . Apparently not. If you get Prostate Cancer, you dont necessarily find yourself more susceptible to other kinds. Hmmm. But i wont know for sure until my psa levels are checked and they should be zero now because i have no prostate see because i have no prostate so the prostate specific antigen, the psa level, should be zero. But if there is anything left on the bed of the prostate where they have taken it out, then maybe that will spread and i will need radiotherapy and the whole damn thing will start again. So it really is very likely that if you are a man, well, not very likely that there is a strong possibility that you will, you know, get it. So it is worth checking your psas and then going from there. It isnt always necessary to have it out in the way i had, im not saying that is always the answer. The answer is to discuss these things with your doctor. That was part of what stephen fry released on social media today. Sarah hiom is Cancer Research uks director of early diagnosis and is here with me now. Thanks forjoining us. That is particularly relevant in this case and talk to us about the importance of that because this was picked up we are told, just buy a routine appointment . Absolutely, and before ido ifimay appointment . Absolutely, and before i do if i mayjust stephen fry is a much loved and well respected celebrity, we wish him the best for his recovery. As he said this was picked up by a routine scan, and thank heavens it was because that cancer has been operated on, hopefully removed, and stephen will enjoy a full recovery. Early diagnosis of Prostate Cancer as with all cancers is very important, because one when we detect them, we can treat them and hopefully improve survival. Is this a situation where this is something offered to men of a certain age, is advanced in the case of a man being proactive, what of the options for men watching this . The open with Prostate Cancer that we have, is that it Prostate Cancer that we have, is thatitis Prostate Cancer that we have, is that it is a tricky disease. There tends to be two main types thinking in broad terms. Those that are aggressive and will cause harm in the mans lifetime, and those not aggressive at all. They lay dormant and can be there for a memberfor their lifetime, not causing any bob whatsoever. Fora man for a man part of a lifetime not causing trouble. Its impossible to distinguish at the moment giving what we now about the disease. We need more research to understand the cancers that to cause harm versus those that not. In terms of symptoms, in a case not like this one but what should men be looking out for . Is it difficult because its one of those where the symptoms could be lots of other things . Exactly that. There is a test that doctors will use in the gp surgery, called dps a test, a simple blood test, they are looking for level. Its not accurate or reliable for Prostate Cancer, it gives an indication of risk but not more than that. We need more invasive tests to reaffirm a diagnosis. If men have symptoms that have Prostate Cancer and they are often related to the water works effectively, leading to get to the toilet more often, needing to urinate during the night, that several times during the night, or urgency of needing to go suddenly or urgency of needing to go suddenly orjust frequency or urgency of needing to go suddenly or just frequency through the day or urgency of needing to go suddenly orjust frequency through the day or the night. These are all things to be looking out for. Obviously some men are going to be at more risk than others, we know black men or more at risk than white men and people of the Family History of the disease need to be a little bit more alert to the disease. It is more common in older men, more common over 60 more common over 50 as well. But if you have any of that, i guess your point is just go to your gp . Dont be embarrassed, just go . Absolutely and its wonderful stephen has spoken about this because cancer is still a taboo subject for many, and if you have any concerns please do see your gp. Thanks forjoining us. We are edging up to 5 30pm. Time for a look at the weather. Eres alina jenkins. Haveit have it set to turn even colder. Some of us could see snow next week.

Their opponents built a huge lead at the end of the seventh end, scoring with three stones as muirheads effort failed to find its target. And although gb would reduce that deficit to 8 5, sweden added two more in the ninth, to secure their place in the final. Eve muirhead and her team will get the chance to win bronze tomorrow, just as they did in sochi four years ago. We gave it our all to night and the swedish girls were on fire. Myself, i missed a couple of key draws and you cant afford to do that. Of course, absolutely gutted. I guess we have trained hard for the last three orfour we have trained hard for the last three or four years to be we have trained hard for the last three orfour years to be in we have trained hard for the last three or four years to be in that position and unfortunately today we we re position and unfortunately today we were just outplayed.

Weve talked in the last half an hour about britains departure from the eu and just hearing that donald tusk is to meet theresa may, the Prime Minister, on thursday, so that is a line just coming out and we have been talking a lot about the summit in brussels going on. The british cabinet talking about britain not being part ofa talking about britain not being part of a Customs Union when britain leaves the eu, lots ofjostling around, and all of that, sojust leaves the eu, lots ofjostling around, and all of that, so just one line at the moment that donald tusk will meet theresa may on thursday 1st of march, does not say where the meeting will take place but that has just come through. We will keep you up to date with that. Now, lets talk about zimbabwe. After dominating zimbabwean politics for almost four decades, president mugabe finally stepped down and the country is now scheduled to have elections later in the year. One man who has campaigned for change for many years is Evan Mawarire who founded the thisFlag Movement, demanding the end of corruption and economic mismanagement. He is with me in the studio and i will talk to him in a moment. But first lets remind ourselves whats been happening in zimbabwe. Robert mugabe led the country for 37 years, first as Prime Minister and then later as president from 1987. In november last year, the army took control though denied it was a coup. A week later mugabes Deputy Emmerson Mnangagwa called on mugabe to stand down. Just days later mnangagwa is sworn in as zimababwes president. Earlier this month, the Opposition Leader Morgan Tsvangirai died after dealing with cancer for many yea rs. He had played a crucial part in paving the way for the overthrow of mugabe. Now, the new president mnangagwa has promised that free and Fair Elections will be held by this august. Lets talk to Evan Mawarire who is here with me. Thank you for coming to talk to us on bbc news. At the end when i said the new leader has promised free and Fair Elections i think i saw you shake your head a little. Is that instant scepticism on your part that they will be fair . Absolutely, the histories and a piaffe has had under the leadership of Robert Mugabe propped up by the people who are running the country now has shown as they do not respect elections, in fact, now has shown as they do not respect elections, infact, in now has shown as they do not respect elections, in fact, in 2008 the late Morgan Tsvangirai was denied the opportunity to lead some bar boite when he had clearly won the election, so there is a lot that remains to be said about how free and fair these elections will be. You must forgive us as zimbabweans for being sceptical because it is what we have experienced for 38 yea rs what we have experienced for 38 years now. Is there more that man again, could do in the next few months to instil some confidence . To suggest to the people, to suggest to sceptics like yourself, Opposition Leaders that he would like to change, that he would like zimbabwe to rid itself of corruption and help people suffering so badly economic theory as we know mnangagwa . People suffering so badly economic theory as we know mnangagwa . Over and above he has said in his speeches, as a citizen and as an activist all i have heard at his speeches, theres a lot more that he can do, for example, some of the repressive laws that were put in under Robert Mugabe are still in place, as the president it wouldnt ta ke place, as the president it wouldnt take much for his administration to repeal things like the public order and security act, which prohibits people from freedom of expression and the freedom to assembly. The criminal code under which i was arrested numerous times needs to be changed and aligned to the constitution zimbabwe has. That would put confidence into the citizens. You spent more than a year. Citizens. You spent more than a year. I spent citizens. You spent more than a year. I spent a citizens. You spent more than a year. I spent a year in and out of prison, 32 court appearances, and one of the arrests was at the airport on the first of fabry after leaving my family in safety. February. Tell us about the flag and hashtag i mentioned. What is its purpose . How is it galvanising people . This flag Citizens Movement is something we started quite literally by accident, but it was a moment in which the citizens of zimbabwe decided the flag of zimbabwe, which by the way has a meaning, everything on it mean something, it is a promise to zimbabweans, a good economy based on agriculture, it promises prosperity based on our minerals, it promises a free nation based on the blood that we re free nation based on the blood that were shed. Promises free nation for the majority black people and all of those have been from iced. This Flag Movement was about reclaiming in the citizens hands our own destiny because Robert Mugabe had systematically taken that away from us. The thing that was done was intimidating citizens from speaking up intimidating citizens from speaking up the underlying catchphrase that ex presses up the underlying catchphrase that expresses what this Flag Movement is, is if we cannot cause the politician to change then we must inspire the citizen to be bold. When i mentioned Morgan Tsvangirai who died recently, you nodded in recognition. Who now leads the opposition movement, if i can put it that way . Who brings people together to continue what he did for such a long time . Morgan tsvangirai first and foremost is an incredible figure on the landscape of zimbabwe in politics and he leaves a huge void and huge shoes to fill in terms of the kind of man that he was and the unprecedented courage. I see that he has raised a lot of people that are powerful. In the last couple of days we have seen the young nelson has stood up and wanted to fill those shoes.
