English football is governed, including a motion of No Confidence in the fa, as mps try to improve the way the sport is run. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Guilty to hoarding explosives and making bombs. 31 year old Ciaran Maxwell was arrested last year after police found two arms dumps in county antrim. Unknown to the army, while serving he had also been preparing for acts of terrorism, including compiling a list of targets, to be used by Dissident Republicans. Daniel sandford has the story. He was a member of the uks elite Royal Marines unit a0 commando, after passing the gruelling 32 week training course. But today, Ciaran Maxwell and admitted that for five years he was also helping Dissident Republicans in Northern Ireland to build up hidden stockpiles of explosives, weapons and ammunition. Ciaran maxwell grew up in larne, some 20 miles north of belfast, a largely unionist town with some strong loyalist paramilitary links. A bmx fan who came from a catholic family, as a teenager he was on the fringe of republican activity in the town. In the early 2000s, larne was seeing a lot of attacks by loyalists. In 2002, Ciaran Maxwell himself was badly beaten up and ended up in hospital in belfast with a fractured skull. But eight years later, despite his background, he joined the Royal Marines, posting this footage of his training on his facebook page, leaving some politicians to suggest there was a failure to adequately check his past, or to monitor who he was mixing with on his trips back home. Once he was in the marines and had access to all of the training and weaponry, there appears to have been no attempt to make sure that he wasnt using the opportunities that were available to him to help terrorists in Northern Ireland. Last spring, police in Northern Ireland uncovered two Arms Dumps Near Larne in a country park and a remote forest. Hidden in plastic barrels in the woods were, among other things, Claymore Mines, capable of killing several people, pipe bombs, ammunition and an armour piercing mortar. It was the most significant arms cache found in Northern Ireland in recent years but it was the two claymore antipersonnel mines, clearly stolen from the British Armed forces, that caused the greatest alarm. The Claymore Mines led the police back to Ciaran Maxwells barracks in somerset. Further searches of his home and nearby woods uncovered Electronic Components and notes on making bombs. It was clear to detectives that they had found a serving royal marine who was actively helping republican dissidents, men who were targeting police and prison officers. Daniel sandford, bbc news, larne. Theresa may has used an eu summit to tell fellow nato leaders they should spend more on defence. She said the commitment to nato by President Trump when she was in washington will ensure greater security for both the uk and europe. The summit in malta is the first such meeting since donald trump was sworn in, and some leaders expressed concern over some of his announcements. Heresjohn pienaar. A stroll in the sun among europes leaders, but soon theresa may will be walking alone after brexit. Then shell need all the friends she can get. Friends she believes like donald trump, she took his hand last week and took home his promise of 100 commitment to the nato alliance. Officials have their uses, one high ranking Civil Servant was suddenly appointed bag carrier today. She had work to do. Offering to help the eu in future just as she had helped the cause of nato. Will that us Relationship Help in that . Well, it is important that we got the 100 commitment to nato. Because nato has been so crucial in keeping the security, protecting the security, notjust of the uk, but also of europe, and will do so in the future. But as we look to our negotiations what i want to build with the eu is a Strong Partnership, we want a strong continuing eu and a Strong Partnership because we are not leaving europe. We are leaving the eu. The prime ministers flying visit here is just part of her mission to hold onto britains global clout after brexit. Theresa mays hope, by showing she can deal with donald trump and get results, she will get a better brexit deal from eu leaders who may look to her to help fight europes corner with the new president. But like so much of theresa mays plan for brexit, it wont be easy. Theresa mays welcome was warm enough at this informal summit, though she could be forgiven a few nerves. Not everyone was interested in new ways to connect with President Trump. Weve got twitter for that, one leader said. And president hollande insisted it was frances job to develop the eus Special Relationship with america after brexit, but the Eu Council President donald tusk saw a role for theresa may and britain. The uk inside or outside europe, can develop helpful, and i have no doubt. I have no doubt after todays discussions, what theresa may said, i have no doubt we can feel some kind of solidarity. But the summit host warned the eu would fight its own corner if necessary against President Trump. We cannot stay silent where there are principles involved. And, as in any good relationship, we will have and we will speak very clearly where we think those principles are being trampled on. Just now the moods almost amicable. Eu leaders took a boat ride together today, but hard negotiations to come will decide how far britain stays aboard with europes future, or whether the uk will chart its own course alone. John pienaar, bbc news, malta. Damian grammaticas is in malta this evening. Are you getting a sense that eu leaders are united against the threat of brexit and the announcements from President Trump . I think it is fair to say that. Eu leaders, from what i was told today, all 28, including theresa may, told me love was in the air. And the reason was not so much theresa mays offered to act as a bridge, but donald trump himself, because eu leaders have seen what he has said about supporting brexit and other countries possibly following the uk. They are concerned about their possible future, they want a strong relationship with the us but do not know what the us will want. From theresa may, they heard how says she supports a strong, United Europe as a partner. She told them she had conveyed that message to donald trump. They like all of that. They are positive about that. Does that mean the uk might get a good deal in brexit . Good atmosphere ashman grow good atmospherics translating into something . I would good atmospherics translating into something . Iwould be good atmospherics translating into something . I would be cautious because the message from eu leaders is that they are shoring up their defences as they see possible threats to their unity outside. That is the message. A man armed with what is thought to be a machete has been shot and wounded after he attacked guards at the Louvre Museum in paris. Hundreds of tourists were in the building at the time. The attack is being treated as a Terrorist Incident after the man shouted god is great in arabic. From the french capital, jonny dymond has more. In the heart of paris, at the entrance to one of its cultural treasures, an attacker is brought down by the military. He was stopped as he tried to enter the shops beneath the louvre. He was told he couldnt take his bags in. He shouted allahu akbar. God is the greatest, in arabic. And then swung at a soldier with a machete. Five shots were fired, all around, confusion and fear. Translation it happened very fast, really it all went quickly. Everyone was panicking and we thought of our lives and we saw death coming for us, with everythings thats been happening at the moment. We were very very scared. And later, this footage showed an injured soldier being wheeled away for treatment. The french president in malta at the eu summit said it was a terrorist attack. The situation, he said, was under control. Translation the threat is there. It remains, and we have to face it. We mobilise our resources and will continue to do so as long as it is needed. For the authorities, this was proof that the high profile Security Presence in the capital and across france really does work. It was also a reminder of the attacks that took so many lives here, and of the threat that remains in paris and beyond. Paris and france remain non alert. This attack was foiled, but few people think it will be the last. The Energy Firm Npower is raising its electricity and gas prices by an average of 10 , one of the largest rises by a Big Six Energy supplierfor years. The Energy Regulator has called on Npower Tojustify the price hike to its customers. John moylan is here. How are theyjustifying it . You are right, many people were surprised by the extent of the price rises. The figures speak for themselves. From next month, npower electricity customers will be paying 1596 electricity customers will be paying 15 more for electricity and gas customers will see prices rise by almost 5 . If you are a jewel fuel customer with npower, your annual bill will go up by almost 10 , adding £109 to your bill. Today, npower were saying it has to increase prices because wholesale prices are rising but it also pointed to Government Energy costs, things like rolling out smart metres. There has been widespread criticism of the move. Ofgem e serve said it saw no justification for significant price rises. Ofgem even said. There were tough words from government today. The department of business said it was concerned by the plans and warned that where markets do not work, it is prepared to act. It is saying that it is prepared to act. It is saying thatitis is prepared to act. It is saying that it is worried about households who for whatever reason do not switch supplier, pay stay on standard tariffs and pay over the odds. It is thought they will be moves to help those customers in a green paper to be launched in the spring. Thank you. A bbc news investigation has revealed how Sheffield City council failed to stop an employee, a predatory sex offender, from abusing his victims in Council Offices over two decades. Roger dodds has been sentenced today to 16 years in prison. The council was first told about the allegations against dodds back in 1981 but didnt inform the police. Years later, following further allegations, they allowed him to take early retirement with an enhanced pension. Michael buchanan has the story. 1980, olympic gold for server code. Celebrating in his parent was my front room, a Sexual Predator. At this very time, roger dodds was abusing young men at Sheffield City council. Today, the court heard, he used his friendship with Sebastian Coe till youre a boy to sheffield and abuse him. After escaping justice for decades, the 81 year old was this afternoon sentenced to 16 yea rs was this afternoon sentenced to 16 years in prison. In the 1970s, used to work here, giving grants to sheffield students. He used the job to sexually assault some of the teenage applicants. Decades later, his victims are speaking out. Tragedy, his left hand started to feel its way towards myjeans pocket. Gradually. Feel its way towards myjeans pocket. Gradually. This man was assaulted on his first visit with dodds and on other visits, too. He opened the door to this type of classroom, for want of a better word. I went in in front of him and remember turning around and looking at roger dodds with his big bunch of keys, locking the door. That was horrifying. In 1981, a raft of allegations were made against roger dodds. The council launched an enquiry. A colleague gave evidence, telling officials he had been repeatedly sexually assaulted by his manager over 18 months. The Investigation Led to Sheffield City council simply moving roger dodds to another post. This job, whilst wasted in their department, it regularly took him to schools. Whilst it was based in their department. I was horrified. The job gave him unregulated and unsupervised access to schools. A decade later, another Council Employee was assaulted by roger dodds. He complained. The council acted. Unbelievably, they gave roger dodds early retirement with an enhanced pension. The council is so responsible. They allowed it to happen. Everyone knew. Everyone in the council knew but they chose to do nothing about it. In 2008, three victims told police about the abuse. The Crown Prosecution Service chose not to charge him but Sheffield City council ordered an internal enquiry which concluded that the council we re which concluded that the council were complicit in allowing him to abuse. Despite the fact that this happened more than a quarter of a century ago, we have accepted responsibility and do not seek to defend the indefensible. Roger dodds victims have become friends in adversity, but given the number of young men who passed through his office, few believe that they are the only ones harmed by a Sexual Predator protected by his employer. Our top story this evening British MarineCiaran Maxwell pleads guilty to stockpiling explosives and bombs for Dissident Republicans in Northern Ireland. Still to come, all eyes on the big prize as rugby unions Six Nations Championship kicks off this weekend. Parliament will debate the way in which football is governed including a vote of No Confidence in the fa as mps tried to improve the way the sport is run. Some supermarkets are running low on supplies of vegetables asda, tesco and morrisons have even introduced rationing as Heavy Rain And Snow in spain have decimated the harvest. Lettuce is worst affected but theres also a shortage of courgettes, aubergines, peppers and broccoli. Emma simpson reports. Theres plenty of lettuce here, but it will cost you. At fruity fresh, they sell produce to restaurants, cafes, small shops and the public. Like elsewhere, they rely on spain to help keep the shelves full over winter, but it hasnt been easy. Weve never seen anything like this before. We havent struggled to get these items at this time of the year from spain before and it is a real problem. Youve got courgettes. These are from rocco and they are a much higher price than we are used to supplying that. As they are from morocco. It used to be two front pound but now the price is quadrupled. Aubergines were up £130 kilo, but now look at the cost. This wholesale business can get its hands on most things, at a price. This is the thing, some of the businesses it usually sells to have been turning to the supermarkets instead. In search of better deals. That might help explain this. Social media awash with tales of shortages. Morrisons, tesco and asda are all restricting sales of iceberg lettuce, to make sure there is enough to go round. Some other veg is being rationed. One answer is making do with what you can get. The owner of this glasgow cafe is simply adapting his menu. It is fresh every day and if we know there is not going to be any courgettes we maybe substitute it with cucumber. We like to keep our prices manageable for everyone. First it was flooding and waterlogged fields, then spain was hit by snow, which made things even worse. Experts warn that supplies may not get back to normal until at least the middle of next month. Emma simpson, bbc news. After a volley of tweets Yesterday And Today warning iran about the possible consequences of its latest Ballistic Missile test, President Trump has imposed sanctions on a number of individuals and companies linked to the country. Lets talk to our North America Editorjon Sopel in washington. Is this Sabre Rattling by President Trump or does it amount to a significant escalation of action against iran . Possibly a bit of both. I dont think this was an action that barack obama would have taken and it has been applauded by republicans who say at last swept action is being taken against iran and showing their transgressions where be tolerated swift action. But it wont cut across the Iran Nuclear Deal even though donald trump has repeatedly said it was the worst deal ever and ought to be ripped up. It seems the Administration Want to give that deal in place, so for all the sound and a theory that we get on a daily basis, there are bits of continuity between this administration and the obama administration. Yesterday the new Us Ambassador said they must continue to be sanctions against russia. And also on the malaise, is said the settlement building was not necessarily helpful, not the blank check that maybe israel had hoped for and also on the middle east. Thanks forjoining us.

Rugby unions six nations tournament begins tomorrow with england looking to set a record for the most consecutive wins. Theirfirst opponents are france at twickenham while Scotland Play Ireland and the Welsh Travel To Rome to play italy on sunday. The rivalry will be intense but theres emphasis on ensuring safety on the pitch, asjoe wilson reports. Winters evening, west yorkshire. On stage the man who says he started it. Joe stead first sang this in his rugby club, february 1960. Swing low sweet chariot. It reached twickenham. And the song, whatever its original meaning, is now englands celebration. In 2016 they won every match, five more wins would set a new world record. Yeah, but there are five other nations with huge motivation. Who can beat them . Well, that remains to be seen. I think its going to be a tight championship this year. Any team that comes up against england will want to try and take their scalp. Exactly. Scotland start confident but play ireland who are highly rated and buoyant, having beaten new zealand recently. Wales are vastly experienced, even their new captain Alun Wynjones has over 100 caps. But there is something new for everybody at this years six nations. For the first time bonus points are available in the tournament as a reward for try scoring and attacking play. But, fundamentally, rugby remains a contact sport. Englands captain is just back from suspension. Dylan hartley was sent off for this. And rugby is promising more red cards for dangerous tackles. If you want to win games of rugby you have to be right on the edge. You have to be confrontational, physical, because thats the abcs of rugby, is being physical, isnt it . So. Yeah. Look, we prepare well and, yeah. Have you had to learn about where that line is, dylan, more than other players, do you think . No, i think were always learning. If youre regarding the recent ban i had. Player safety is paramount, so as players we have to change. Rugby knows its image is crucial. But the six nations is defined by tradition as much as change. So cue seven weeks of sporting folk music. Coming forth to carry me home. Joe wilson, bbc news.

The crown pub, right here in the centre of birmingham. And in 1968 Black Sabbath, or earth as they were called at the time, played their first gig. The fee that night. They werent paid in money.

Im sure ill shed a few tears on the final night. Which is to be expected. And even ozzy, the self professed prince of darkness, isnt ruling out the possibility of having a cry on stage. My emotions are flying all over the place. Lets see what happens. Black sabbath, heavy metal pioneers, but tomorrow mightjust bring out their soft side. Colin paterson, bbc news, birmingham. Time for a look at the weather. Some rather interesting weather, i can show you the good before we show you the bad. This is a Beautiful Sunsetin you the bad. This is a beautiful sunset in the highlands of scotland, but this is more like what we have seenin but this is more like what we have seen in the south coast. Gusts of wind quite lively, picking up across the Northern Isles and further east across the english channel. Quite a lot of rain, as well. Weve had snow, as well. We did see more snow, in the valleys, for example. The strength is heading into the in this channel and east anglia and lincolnshire, as well. If you are travelling with the wind and the rain, potentially hills no. Overnight it becomes stuck across scotla nd overnight it becomes stuck across scotland as hill snow. Im talking about cold air, so we will have frost and also that risk of ice returning. After what has been a mild week. It is not too distant memory, it was happening last week, but to be aware they will be some slippery conditions tomorrow. Sunday morning, as well. Patchy rain, sleet and snow, and the next low pressure is going to cause some rain. With the rugby taking place that could have implications. The rain and sleet and snow is still around in the Morning Hours and it doesnt really wish its grip in the northern half of scotland, but a deal of sunshine, as well. Doesnt really relinquish. Not a smile as it has been. The arc of cloud. Overnight tomorrow night, more showers, the risk is high of ice, but on sunday there is dry and fine weather and a few showers around the referee. It is not warm. Around the periphery. It is not too bad this weekend, though.
