Coming up in the sport on bbc news its understood leicester have held informal talks with roy hodgson over the vacant managers position, following Claudio Ranieris sacking last week. Good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. President trump has used his first Speech To Congress to declare A Renewal Of The American Spirit and a new chapter of american greatness. He adopted a more measured tone than in his inauguration address, condemning the recent vandalism ofjewish cemeteries and the Fatal Shooting of an indian man in kansas. Heres our washington correspondent laura bicker. Donald trumps trip to Congress Gave him a few last moments to practise his speech. The president of the United States. Yet again, the president delivered what few had expected the most president ial of speeches. What we are witnessing today is the renewal of the american spirit. Our allies will find that america is once again ready to lead. He softened his tone on immigration, talked of reform and a new merit based entry system a slight shift in policy. But he said it was still important to keep out those who would harm america. Those given the high honour of admission to the United States should support this country, love its people and its values. We cannot allow a beachhead of terrorism to form inside america. We cannot allow our nation to become a sanctuary for extremists. Then the announcement the republicans were waiting for. Tonight, i am also calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare. Still, no detail on how health care would be reformed for the millions who rely on it. There was also little mention of foreign policy. President trump stuck mostly to his America First mantra. But there was this reassurance for nato, which he once called obsolete. We strongly support nato, an Alliance Forged through the bonds of two world wars, that dethroned fascism, and the cold war, and defeated communism. There was much in the speech for democrats to like, a trillion dollar investment in infrastructure, talk of paid family leave, but most stayed stony faced throughout. Others showed their displeasure and dressed in the white colours of suffrage, despite the president s calls for unity. We all bleed the same blood. We all salute the same Great American flag and we all are made by the same god. Democrats decided to focus their message on the division they feel President Trump has caused. Real leaders dont spread derision and division. Real leaders strengthen, they unify, they partner and they offer Real Solutions instead of ultimatums and blame. The speech was prime Time Television and his supporters loved it. Really overwhelmingly positive. It was a fantastic speech. But i didnt expect anything less. When he spoke about the economy, when he spoke aboutjobs, harley davidson, i had my biker hat on, bikers for trump. I like to ride once in awhile, go out west. I thought it was pretty cool. Make America Great again. He was president ial, calm. Hes great. I get goose bumps, the hairs on my back stand up every time he speaks. After such a rocky first month, republicans will be delighted their man delivered. There were a lot of big promises and very few real details. But the speech was inclusive, optimistic. How long will this good feeling last . All eyes will be on twitter for that answer. Our correspondent jane obrien is in washington picking up on lauras point, is this the start of a softer tone from the president or not . I think it has been too soon to tell, twitter has been too soon to tell, twitter has been quiet so far. This was all about tone. The president did not change the substance of what he has been saying fifa years, in the campaign and early days of his presidency. What he proved last night is that he can present his ideas and policies in a far more conciliar to fashion. That is important, during his campaign he had been talking about draining the swamp, he had been lambast in the very lawmakers he spoke before last night. Last night was all about unity, notjust night. Last night was all about unity, not just bringing night. Last night was all about unity, notjust bringing democrats onside, because i think that will ta ke onside, because i think that will take longer, but uniting his party. A lot of people are concerned he has been focusing on things that they consider a distraction, not on their priorities, tax reform and overhauling the Affordable Care act. Many will be greatly relieved he didnt start any new controversies, he stuck to his script. They gave him any standing ovations. They will be very satisfied with what he had to say. Whether or not the rest of the country, after listening to that speech, is ready to come on board, again, the cliche, we have to wait and see. Many thanks. And if you want to watch President Trumps Speech To Congress in full, you can on the bbc iplayer. Sex education is to become compulsory in all schools in england. The education secretary Justine Greening says that children as young as four will be taught about relationships and secondary School Pupils will learn about both sex and relationships. There will be a particular emphasis on the dangers of sexting, online pornography and cyber bullying. Our education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves reports. We must always make sure that nobody ta kes we must always make sure that nobody takes embarrassing pictures of us. At this school in dunstable, even the youngest children are taught about their own bodies and relationships with other people. Soon, such lessons will be compulsory in all schools in england. Sex and Relationship Education, updated for the cyber age. The widespread rise of sexting, Sexual Bullying of girls in secondary schools and the ready availability of hard core online pornography have made mps call for new compulsory lessons. The Guidance Schools are looking to in terms of how they teach sex and Relationship Education was developed in the year 2000, and britain is a very different place. It is very important we have an updated approach that means children are safe and protected, and that they are prepared for life in modern britain. All children from the age of four onwards will be taught about relationships, while older children will also be taught age appropriate sex education. Previously, such lessons were only compulsory in council run schools, not academies. Teaching unions and the Church Of England have welcomed the announcement, but others are not impressed. I think very often children are being introduced to things at school that sometimes they have not seen before, sometimes topics are introduced far too young, that they have not yet seen. We need to be aware of this. It is not all about protecting them, we are sexualising them, and sexualising them through state programmes. This cant be a good idea. Of course we have to care for our children. Pa rents have to care for our children. Parents will still have the right to withdraw their children from lessons if they wish. The Government Faces its first defeat over the brexit bill in the house of lords. Opposition peers want the legislation amended to guarantee the rights of eu nationals to remain in the uk. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith is in westminster. How likely is a defeat and what would that do to the governments timetable . So far, theresa may has pummelled her opponents into dust when it comes to brexit. Tonight, she is going to be on the Receiving End in the house of lords. This, despite the fact that she went in at the start of the debate to give peers a killer death rate stare. Death ray. They are almost certain to defy her and guaranteed rights of eu nationals living here. They think it is morally unacceptable to leave these people in limbo. They also argue it is Betterfor Britain these people in limbo. They also argue it is better for britain to seize the moral high ground in negotiations. That said, it is unlikely to happen. Theresa may will overturn that result in the commons, because she insists she cannot guarantee the position of eu nationals until the position of British National is living elsewhere in the eu is guaranteed. Here is the rub. That might not happen for some time, because other eu countries are not willing to discuss it until negotiations get under way. It may ta ke negotiations get under way. It may take them many months to come up with an agreed position. The real danger is that the whole issue gets mashed up into the argy bargy of the brexit negotiations, where eu negotiators may say, you want to talk about eu migrants . We want to talk about eu migrants . We want to talk about eu migrants . We want to talk about your brexit bill, which means it could take some time to get a deal. Two women have been charged with the murder of kim jong nam, the half brother of north korean dictator kim jong un. They face the Death Penalty if found guilty. Malaysian Police Believe they wiped the deadly nerve agent vx on his face in Kuala Lumpur Airport just over a fortnight ago. The women claim they thought they were taking part in a video prank. Steve evans reports from seoul. Ina in a phalanx of heavily armed police, the two women were taken to court. The fear was that they were vulnerable to attack because they know who ordered the assassination. Kimjong nam, the know who ordered the assassination. Kim jong nam, the exiled know who ordered the assassination. Kimjong nam, the exiled half brother of north Korean Leader kim jong un, was murdered on february 13. The accused are alleged to have been the women who jumped him at Kuala Lumpur Airport and smeared his face with a deadly oil. The alleged assassins, one from vietnam and one from indonesia, claim they were duped into thinking they were taking pa rt duped into thinking they were taking part ina duped into thinking they were taking part in a reality show prank. In court today, the charge was read to them. One said she was innocent. She was perfectly all right, she was calm. Of course, she will definitely be stressed because it is the Death Penalty here. But the malaysian authorities are sceptical. If the attackers thought that the gel they we re attackers thought that the gel they were smearing on the victim was harmless, why did they keep it off their own skin . North korea denies being involved. But it sent diplomats to malaysia to try to get the body sent to north korea. Malaysia is saying no. There is more investigation to be done. After a period of time we have to make a decision what to do. In this case, we have to do it as government, taking into consideration the international system. The two women accused today face the Death Penalty if found guilty. The ultimate price for being pawns in a bigger political game. The french president ial candidate Francois Fillon has refused to stand down, despite being told by magistrates that he will be put under formal investigation. The centre right politician has repeatedly denied allegations that he paid his wife and children public money for work they didnt do. Hugh schofield is in paris for us. Defiance from mr fillon, but he will still be under intense pressure . Well, he knows he is in a very difficult situation. His poll ratings have gone down, he is in third place behind emmanuel macron. His image has suffered, he cannot campaign without protest is banging saucepa ns wherever campaign without protest is banging saucepans wherever he goes. Now the news that he is going to be summoned before the examining magistrate on march the 15th, just before the campaign starts, and probably be placed underformal campaign starts, and probably be placed under formal investigation. He is ina placed under formal investigation. He is in a very difficult situation. Once again, he has chosen the path of fighting back. It was a convert if Press Conference in which he really la id into if Press Conference in which he really laid into the institutions of france as being behind his problems. That is a message fraught with possibilities for the future, because he is blaming institutions of france for turning on him. He knows his situation is tough, but not desperate. His support has not entirely collapsed. His base of support remains there. He is on about 17 . His idea, with the party behind him, is that by a stoic, stern, grave continuation of his path, he can still do it. Our top story President Trump appeals for unity in his first Speech To Congress, saying the time for trivial fights has passed. Speech to congress, saying the time for trivialfights has passed. Still to come, a spoke in the wheel for great britains pa ralympic to come, a spoke in the wheel for great britains paralympic cyclists. The team was only given seven weeks to prepare for the World Championships. In sport, Budapest City Council has ratified their decision to withdraw its bid to host the Summer Olympics and paralympics in 202a. It leaves only los angeles and paris competing to host the games. Tomorrow voters in Northern Ireland go to the polls for the second time in ten months. The election was triggered when the deputy first minister, sinn feins martin mcguinness, resigned over a row with the Democratic Unionist Party about a green energy scheme. That scheme remained the hot topic last night as Party Leaders again clashed over the issue in the second tv election debate. Our ireland correspondent Chris Buckler reports. Every election is a test of leadership. In Northern Ireland, these are testing times. The colla pse these are testing times. The collapse of stormonts Power Sharing Government has led to a second election within a year. The breakdown in the relationship between the dup and sinn fein feels personal, as well as political. What a bita personal, as well as political. What a bit a wee bit of respect . Just saying. What about respect for the public . The dup leader Arlene Foster has been under personal pressure. Its over a financial scandal linked toa its over a financial scandal linked to a botched green energy scheme. That has not been the cause of the election, the cause is the wish of sinn fein to implement their radical republican agenda on Northern Ireland. Is about arrogance, it is about how they have handled the issue, the fact that Arlene Cannot even be humble to accept she made a mistake and, whilst we will get to the bottom of all issues, there are some things we know to be facts and to be true, that is the fact that arlene did strip out the cost controls. Only months ago, they were talking about a shared future. The dup have spent this Campaign Warning of the potential dangers posed by sinn feins success at the ballot box. The only thing that will change is that the dups ego will be wounded. The public dont care about that. Ultimately, just like ten months ago, getting the Government Back at stormont depends on a Power Sharing Deal after the election. People voted for you last time and got martin mcguinness, and he wrote your Resignation Letter the ulster Unionist Party antinationalist sdlp, i try to present themselves as an alternative to the last coalition. This is an opportunity to bring about change, away from two parties are only share space, power and responsibility because the law says they have to. The sdlp leader challenged Arlene Foster over the dup decision to block the introduction of same sex marriage in Northern Ireland. Will arlene committed to not using the petition of consent on equal marriage . There are many challenges for all of the parties if Power Sharing is to return to stormont. I can see we have a very balanced audience in tonight the whole electorate will have their say when they vote tomorrow. The bbc has seen documents which suggest that ford is to lay off around Eleven Hundred jobs at its car plant in bridgend. Our wales correspondent, tomos morgan, is there. Tell us more about what is in these documents. The leaked document shows that this plant is underperforming compared to the plant in dagenham. Overtime is double that in the dagenham plant. That means that Production Costs 6 more. That, coupled with the fact that they havent got enough projected investment here means that they say, in the document, they are projecting that over 1000 jobs could be lost by 2020. This place employs over 2000 people. It is currently creating about 700,000 engines every year. Some go to ford, some to jaguar land rover. The deals come to an end in 2017. The only other project was cut by half, as was the investment. So, unions have been asking what will happen, what are the future plans . Considering numbers have been cut so significantly. The Welsh Government have said they have been in massive talks with bridgend over the last few weeks to make sure the jobs stay in place. The first minister carwyn jones has said that losing these jobs would be the worst case scenario. The unions have said that uk government needs to step in and supplies some sort of investment. At pmqs, theresa may said that she was in talks with bridgend about the future. This place has been here since 1980. It had over £2. 3 billion of investment. Without any more, the Manufacturing Powerhouse in south wales will certainly be diminished. Drivers caught using handheld Mobile Phones will face tougher penalties from today, in england, wales and scotland. The fine has doubled to £200, and the number of Penalty Points has also doubled to six meaning that new drivers could lose their licences after one offence. Police have pledged to put an increased focus on catching offenders. Robert hall reports. On a busy main road in Cambridgeshire Police cameras capture another offender. The evidence from around the uk is crystal clear, weve been warned, but we simply arent listening. The most recent report from the rac found 31 of drivers admit to using a hand held phone at the wheel compared with 8 two years ago. She had it held in both Hands Texting with both thumbs. Can you just follow me, please . This driver was spotted holding her phone to plot a route. You had your phone in both hands on top of your steering wheel. You may or may not be aware, it is going to change. Six points and £200 fine and no option of any sort of Education Course at all. Its just how she was using her phone that makes it an offence. Its more than just making a phone call. We can do more and more with our Mobile Phones and the temptation to use them on the move has proved irresistible. From today, there will be no more Driver Awareness is courses, new licences could be revoked and the bus and lorry drivers could face a suspension, underlining a civil message. Your mobile phone belongs in the glove box. Thomas croker ignored that advice. He is serving ten years for causing the deaths of four people when he ploughed into stationary traffic. One of those seriously injured as welcome and tougher penalties. We are all going to learn this lesson. We can learn it be easy 01 this lesson. We can learn it be easy or hard way. I have learned that the ha rd or hard way. I have learned that the hard way. It is actually a really easy problem to solve, all you have to do is put your phone away. Back in cambridgeshire, a two minute call will have serious consequences for this hgv driver. You were on your mobile phone. You are aware thats an offence . In the 20 odd years ive been on the road i have seen people with laptops. Ive seen phone in one hand, laptop on the other, and knee on the steering wheel. Whatjust happened, a minor indiscretion in relation to the scale of things, but no, i should know better. Theres been an accident. Unfortunately your mum has been killed. Police operations will now run alongside a Media Campaign centred on the family of one victim. Higher penalties are only part of the answer. In the end, we must all be conscious of the lives we put at risk. There is nothing that is so important it cannot wait. Dont use your phone whilst youre driving. Liverpools Lime Street Station will be closed for several days after a Wall Collapsed and blocked all four lines into the station and damaged overhead wiring. Passengers are being advised to check alternative routes. Danny savage is at the station. How much disruption is this corpsing . This could have been a really serious incident last night. It happened at around 5. 45, when an 80 foot retaining wall, right next to the west coast main line, about three quarters of a mile of the track behind me, gave way. We have the Helicopter Up in the last hour 01 so. The Helicopter Up in the last hour or so. Looking into the deep cutting, where all of the debris is now in place. What happened is that the rubble collapsed, it set of sensors on overhead power lines, which alerted the signalman. They stopped the service is running and put the signals to read. Luckily, no train hit that rubble, because it could have been very serious. The Rail Accident Investigation Branch are looking at this to see if they are looking at this to see if they are going to have to take any action about it. In the meantime, the Railway Station will stay shut to all services for the next several days because they have got to get into the cutting to remove the rubble. It was caused, they say, by a third party putting Shipping Containers on top of the wall, five of them with a lot of stuff in them, which has caused the weight on the wall to crumble. It will take some time to put right. In the meantime, buses have been put on four passengers. It will cause a lot of disruption for people here. 14 of britains Para Cyclists are set to compete at the track World Championships in los angeles on thursday. But with the International Cycling Union Providing just seven weeks warning to prepare for the event, many cyclists are frustrated. And some, including britains most decorated pa ralympian, dame sarah storey, have opted out of competing all together. Kate grey has been to meet the gb team in their final preparations ahead of the championships. It was the culmination of years of training. And hours of hard work. In Rio The Velodrome was a gold medalfactory. Contributing to britains most successful pa ralympic games. From the high of 2016, 2017 was expected to be a quieter year. But with just seven weeks notice, cyclists were told the World Championships were just around the corner. Its left many questioning the way the sport is run. I cant imagine any other sport getting away with it. I mean, were talking about para cycling, we had four days in rio, four days in london where we had 6000 people in the standings. Its not a little sport, its quite a big sport in The Grand Scheme of things. Its not very good for the athletes, its not good for the nations. I mean, theres nations that arent going. It kind of makes a mockery of the whole thing, it makes everything look a little bit mickey mouse and like its just organised by people who dont know what theyre doing. The tandem rider Sophie Thornhill gets an opportunity to take a relaxed approach to the championships. Everyones going to go in there with new targets, you know, not as high as you would expect from rio. And thats a good thing because we are going in there wanting to enjoy racing. These british athletes are making the most of a far from ideal situation and it raises concerns about why these sorts of problems are still occurring in paralympic sport. The head of the British Paralympic Association told me big improvements need to be made in the years between the games. When people see the Track Cycling at the Paralympic Games and the stadium being full and a key part of the event schedule, you really want to see that replicated over the four years. And i think a lot of International Federations really need to see that now as the big challenge. Forjody, at 38 years old, his time is running out in the sport. But hes determined to make a difference for those coming up behind him. If i make a voice about it and i get out there and talk about it, then hopefully for the generation after me, they can benefit from the fact that i moaned. And it would be nice to develop the sport and be part of developing the sport in the future. The challenges in para cycling will continue to rumble of the track. But for the athletes, its now about delivering on the track and continue the momentum from rio. Kate grey, bbc news, manchester. Proposals have been unveiled that if adopted will be the biggest shake up of the rules of golf in a generation. They include easier ways to take free and penalty drops, and reducing the time allowed to search for a lost ball from five to three minutes. Our Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall reports. So, hes open champion for the second time. There are few sports are steeped in tradition is golf. The laws date back to 1744. Although the game has evolved, the rules remain notoriously difficult to navigate. You need a law degree to work it out. Anything they can do to make it clearer needs to be done. People need to be able to start immediately without being penalised. Even professionals find it tricky. At the masters, confusion over a ruling overshadowed dustinjohnsons first major triumph. I think he has a penalty. He would have made the ball move, that is a penalty. Into situations like this that they want to avoid. If they dont get past that, if it is too intimidating, we need to look again. It has been described as the biggest set of changes in a generation. The aim is not to simplify the rule book, but to make more accessible, remove male only references and speed the game up. We have the 40 second rules, which will speed things up. Then we have a drop rule where you dont have a drop rule where you dont have to drop from shoulder height, you can just drop have to drop from shoulder height, you canjust drop it have to drop from shoulder height, you can just drop it on the ground like this. That is quite a big change. It is. Also, putting with the flag in, there is no penalty now. The change of pace is being inspired by other sports. Golf has often seemed resistant to change. The rules should come into effect in 2019, a significant attempt to move with the times. Europes most active volcano has erupted in a fiery show of lava. Mount etna, on the italian island of sicily, has been largely dormant for the past two years. The volcanos latest eruptions began on monday evening. Authorities have reported no danger to the nearby towns and there has been no disruption to air traffic. Its eruptions can last days or even weeks the last major one was in 1992. A day for the daffodils, especially those in wales. There isnt a huge amount of sunshine on offer for the daffodils in south wales and Southern England at the moment. Plenty of cloud, some outbreaks of rain gradually edging further north. Increasing cloud in wales, the midlands and east anglia. Still some sunny spells. There are some showers around, especially north
