in the third test in perth. —— massive win. good morning. it's monday 18th december. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. a review into building regulations following the grenfell tower fire says there should be a ‘culture change‘ to ensure that safety is prioritised over cost. dame judith hackitt, who is carrying the review for the government, makes a series of recommendations to simplify the rules and change the way they are overseen. in her first report out this morning, she also says regulations are confusing and open to interpretation. the interim report tells us that what we have in place today is a system which has evolved over a number of years. it is overly complex and that complexity does not lead to it being as effective as it needs to be. what sort of things specifically are we talking about? we're talking about a system where there is too much prescription, where there is a very heavily layered system of guidance currently, which is not helpful in terms of leading people to the right answer. my aim for the future is to create a much simpler, and more straightforward, system which will be easy for people to follow. that needs to be reinforced with a number of changes in behaviour, which will include a major culture change gci’oss include a major culture change across all of the players in this. it needs a radical rethink of how competence is measured because we don't know enough about people's live in is to make particular decisions in relation to high—rise buildings. we also need to have a system which is much more effective and much clearer about how products are tested and we need to be very clear about who is responsible for what in the system. part of what i have found is that it is not clear who takes ownership for part of the decision—making process. to me, that is very important. which bits are we talking about? some of this is about the people who build properties. some of it is about the people who regulate the building process or those who would advise on the building process. what i would also emphasises when i talk about looking at the system as a whole, it is not just about leaving, it is about how you manage the life cycle of the building. buildings are in use for very, very much longer than they are being built. even if you start out with a building that has been built to the standards, people living in it, particularly multiple occupancy high—rise buildings, there are many changes that get made in the life cycle of a building. in a multiple occupancy building, it needs to be controlled properly, it needs to be managed in such a way that the integrity was originally designed into the building was maintained. lets get reaction from the royal institute of british architects, which contributed to the review. its executive directorjoins me now. thank you for taking time to talk to us. thank you for taking time to talk to us. in your contribution to this interim report into the overall review, you say the issues with both regulations and how those regulations and how those regulations are enforced. dame judith has made a good start looking at both aspects that she promised a thorough review. she has made a lot of progress on how the regulations are enforced and managed but less so on the guidance at the industry uses to comply with the fire requirements of the building regulations. let's have a look at the first of those points and what those regulations are. a number of regulations have been looked since grenfell tower. we have been looking at smoke alarms, sta i rwells have been looking at smoke alarms, stairwells to access or exit high—rise buildings. what are your opinions on all of that and what needs to be done to better improve safety? that is the slightly disappointing part of today's ports. this is the government guidance the construction industry uses it to comply with building regulations in relation to fire. this is a flawed and confusing document. that is illustrated by the fact we have so many high—rise residential buildings we now know how serious fire safety concerns, not just we now know how serious fire safety concerns, notjust related to cladding that other elements would we have had a major regulatory compliance failure on the regulatory side. why is that? what illustrates the failure is the fact we have over 200 high—rise buildings which a p pa re ntly 200 high—rise buildings which apparently have complied with high—rise regulations. they have been signed off by the authorities but there are serious issues coming out from survey work. the approved document at the moment creates a concept of material with limited combustibility. you can use that to clad high—rise buildings. our view is that regulation needs to be changed and we should only be using non—combustible materials. changed and we should only be using non-combustible materials. so, if those fall within the regulations when it comes to win forcing the regulations, it is difficult for someone regulations, it is difficult for someone to say, i don't think this is safe. according to the standard guidelines, it full switch then permitted development, i suppose. guidelines, it full switch then permitted development, i supposelj think the problem is there's so much ambiguity in the regulations and it relies so much on the complex testing methodologies that we think it needs to be simpler and more straightforward. we think that is problematic within the existing regulations. there are also things that be immediately improved. buildings over 30 metres high have to have sprinklers which other residential buildings do not. if you do material alterations, refurbishing a tower block, you have to make consequential improvements and improve the energy performance of those buildings. you do not have to improve the fire performance. that is something that damejudith has picked up on. i think we will see that change eventually. we would have liked to have received an immediate review. we think it is problematic. thank you. police in beirut say they've arrested a man in connection with the murder of rebecca dykes, who worked for the department for international development at the british embassy. her body was found dumped by the side of a motorway on saturday, police say she'd been strangled. 0ur correspondent, rami ruhayem, joins me from the lebanese capital, beirut. what more can you tell us, first of all, about the investigation into rebecca's murder? very little. the police have said, as you mentioned, that she was strangled. we know that the man who was arrested, the suspect, is lebanese. he is a taxi driver. that is almost all we know. she was out on friday with friends in downtown beirut in a very popular area of downtown beirut, a street with restaurants and bars. 0ne she left that, there was a party. when she left that, nobody heard from her again until she was found on the highway slightly to the east of beirut. the arrest was made this morning. there was a little bit of speculation about whether there may be any political motivation is quite given the nature of herjob, that she works for the department for international development. but police sources have been saying that they do not believe there is any political motivation in the case. you can see the huge sense of shock in the tributes being paid by her friends and colleagues. yes, of course. clearly, very shocking for all who knew her and all who worked with her, with her. lebanon has seen some high profile cases of murder or domestic violence. these things have beenin domestic violence. these things have been in the news on and off lately. they have been causing a lot of shock. of course, in this case, it was mainly not just shock. of course, in this case, it was mainly notjust the shock but also the speculation about political motivation that characterised the first few hours after we heard that somebody works at the british embassy as we first heard was murdered. but then it quickly became clear this is another murder case without at least so far any hint of political connection. thank you for that update. some breaking news coming into us from brussels. we are hearing that eu state regulators have opened an investigation into the tax deals by ikea with dutch tax authorities, say they may have given the swedish furniture retailer and unfair competitive advantage. the european commission is looking into two tax rulings for one of the groups operating the ikea business and the move is the latest crackdown by the eu competition authorities on tax deals between eu countries and big multinationals. so, the commission says it has concerns that two dutch tax rulings may have given them an unfair advantage over other companies. that is just coming them an unfair advantage over other companies. that isjust coming into us companies. that isjust coming into us from brussels. the first of six victims killed in a multiple pile—up in birmingham has been named as taxi driver imtiaz mohammed. the father of six had told his wife he was on his lastjob and was on his way home. police are investigating how the crash happened, as jane frances kelly reports. debris can be seen strewn across four lanes in these pictures taken in the immediate aftermath of the crash. one of those who died in what was described as a harrowing scene has been named as taxi driver imtiaz mohammed, who was a father—of—six. he had called his wife to say it was his lastjob of the night, and that he would be on his way home shortly. two passengers in mr mohammed's taxi also died, but the man and the woman in the small car crushed between the taxi and the wall walked away with minor injuries. the crash happened on a section of the belgrave middle way, a busy road in the heart of birmingham. the vehicles collided at an entrance to an underpass at the junction of bristol road. the road had to be closed to allow the emergency services to safely examine the scene. it will take some time to unpick the scene, and just understand exactly what's happened, and it would be unfair of me to speculate at this time. what i can say is that we're looking into all sorts of conditions, the road conditions. we're aware the road was gritted at 5:00pm last night, but obviously that's just one factor of many that we need to consider. the police are appealing for witnesses, and any footage they may have, to try to piece together the cause of the multi—car crash. theresa may is due to meet her "brexit cabinet" to discuss for the first time what the uk's future relationship with the eu should be. the pm will later tell mps the uk wants to sign trade deals during what she calls an implementation period. the meeting between senior ministers in the government comes as michel barnier, the eu's chief brexit negotiator said there is "no way" the uk will be allowed to have a bespoke trade deal. in an interview with prospect magazine, he said the uk "have to realise there won't be any cherry picking." and that the uk "have to face the consequences of their own decision." let's get more with norman smith, who is in westminsterforeigners. i guess in terms of these talks on the future relationship and trade, it is to divert a little bit, or diverge a lot. that is one question they will be asking. -- diverged. it is all about divergences are how far we should stick by eu rules and regulations to insure continued access to the single market and protect the british economy and how far we should diverge. there is a pretty clear division in the cabin between those who believe priority must be given to staying close to the single market, like philip hammond, and amber rudd, and those like borisjohnson hammond, and amber rudd, and those like boris johnson and hammond, and amber rudd, and those like borisjohnson and michael gove who are confident we can go our own way and strike our own deals and don't have to go cheap byjowl. they give you a sense of the divergence of the argument. —— cheek. if you look at norway, they are outside the eu but crucially it remains inside the single market. it has complete access to the single market. it has too abide by eu rules and regulations, including things like freedom of movement and, yes, you have to pay substantial sums to be used for the access to the market. if you look at canada, where they have a free trade deal, that enables canada to go on strike its own trade deals with other countries and is not encumbered by any ties with the eu. it is also removed, something like 98% of all tariffs will be used through the trade deal. however, the canada deal does not cover the service sector. that matters in the british context because something like 80% of the british economy is the service sector. we really need a deal that encompasses services. they are the two parameters. theresa may is trying to navigate a middle course between the two to ensure access to the single market without necessarily having to abide by too many eu rules. thank you very much for that. much more throughout the morning. thank you very much. and tonight you can catch up with the hit bbc podcast brexitcast — with chris mason, adam fleming and laura kuenssberg. tonight at 10 past 11 on the bbc news channel. the headlines: a review of building regulations following the grenfell tower fire says safety should be prioritised over cost. lebanese police say a man believed to be a taxi driver has been arrested on suspicion of killing the british embassy worker, rebecca dykes. as we have just been hearing, embassy worker, rebecca dykes. as we havejust been hearing, theresa may plasmid senior cabinet ministers meet to discuss what the uk's relationship with the eu needs to look like after brexit. in sport, australia crushed england in the third test at the whacker. england needed to bat throughout the final day to force a draw. —— waca. they lost by an innings and 41 runs full. brendan rodgers say 69 game unbeaten domestic run may never be surpassed by another team after his team was thrashed by hearts at the weekend. mo farah has been named sports personality of the year. anthony joshua, the favourite, failed to make the top three first of all the details and reaction to the ashes results at half—past. some news just some newsjust coming into us some news just coming into us from kensington palace. an announcement that princess charlotte will attend the wilcox nursery school in london from january. that is in kensington. the nursery school has reacted by saying they are delighted that the duke and duchess of cambridge have chosen the wilcox nursery school for princess charlotte. we look forward to welcoming to our nursery in january. just having a look at the website and it says it is a traditional nursery school, which drives to maintain its ethos for high standards, excellence, and good manners. south africa's governing african national congress is voting to choose a new leader to succeed president jacob zuma. nearly 5000 delegates in johannesburg are choosing between two candidates. they are the deputy president cyril ramaphosa and former minister nkosaza na dlamini—zuma — president zuma's former wife. let's get the very latest with our correspondent in johannesburg. what news to have for us? what i can tell you is that the voting has now come to an end. the counting has begun. 5000 people were taking part in this election within the anc, as the anc elects the successor to president jacob zuma. he has been at the top of the organisation for ten years. we're waiting to hear what these delegates here have decided. there are two contenders, one of which is president zuma's former wife. she is a medical doctor. by background she got a degree from bristol university and got further qualifications from liverpool university. she was nelson mandela's first health minister and became foreign minister of south africa and then she went to be the chairperson of the african union in addis ababa. she is up against president zuma's deputy, —— deputy. he left politics, became a wealthy businessman. he returned in 2012 and now he is running for the top job. those are the two contenders for what the delegates had been voting on. milton, give it a sense of depending on who wins, what direction that would take south africa in. that is a very important question. we are still talking about people who come from the same political party. they don't have differing ideologies. they would actually be implementing the very same policies. the difference would be in style, in tone, and indeed the way they do it themselves. the former wife of the president is speaking the language of the masses. she is talking about colonialism and apartheid and promises an end to that. she is promising a policy of radical economic transformation. 0n the other side, cyril rahman poser is speaking the language of big business. they like him. he is talking about bringing down the unemployment rate, which is hovering around 28%. he is talking about inclusive growth and trying to level out the inequalities caused by whiteman or to rule in south africa. thank you very much for that. there's been major disruption at the world's busiest airport, in atlanta in the united states, as a result of a power cut. some passengers were left in darkened terminals at atlanta's hartsfield—jackson airport. more than 1,000 flights have been cancelled and many are being diverted elsewhere. the airport typically handles more than 250—thousand passengers and almost 2,500 flights every day. tens of thousands of people may be putting themselves at increased risk of dying early from heart attacks and strokes because they're mis—using anabolic steroids. the british cardiovascular society has issued the stark warning amid concern steroids are now being used by more people than ever before, especially by young men who feel under pressure to have the perfect body. radio one newsbeat‘s dan whitworth reports. this is 29 your garage is doing what he does best. this is what nearly five years of ha rd this is what nearly five years of hard work, dedication and black—market anabolic steroids looks like. i'd feel more awake, i feel better in myself. ifeel like. i'd feel more awake, i feel better in myself. i feel more like. i'd feel more awake, i feel better in myself. ifeel more manly and have a higher sex drive. there are potential risks medically. things like increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, mood swings, infertility. does that not worry you? everything infertility. does that not worry you ? everything we infertility. does that not worry you? everything we do carries a risk of heart attack, cancer, whatever it is. whatever it is i will get those risks anyway. i do not go out drinking and smoking. i take steroids. in law, anabolic steroids are legal to use and possess right across the uk. what is illegal is supplying them unless you are a doctor. if you're caught he could face a prison sentence of up to 1a yea rs. face a prison sentence of up to 1a years. anabolic steroids cause an imbalance of hormones which could damage many different organs, in particular the heart. that does not stop this man who spoke on condition of anonymity in dealing them. a very broad spectrum of people use steroids was there are guys 18, 19 who are starting out for training andi who are starting out for training and i want to bulk up for a summer holiday or just want to attract the girls that you have to be more informative when you talk to these quys informative when you talk to these guys about it. make them aware of the risks and dangers. according to public health experts, hundreds of thousands of people are using anabolic steroids. government figures show there were 25 convictions in england and wells relating to illegally supplying them in the last two years. —— wales. what about the health of the people you are supplying these drugs to? they can face things like in fertility, mood swings, they can face getting strokes decades earlier. heart attacks. it is illegal for earlier. heart attacks. it is illegalfor a earlier. heart attacks. it is illegal for a reason. earlier. heart attacks. it is illegalfor a reason. yes. i don't approve of it being illegal. doctors prescribed testosterone to people. you are not a doctor. doctors prescribe it. steroids, testosterone in this example, if it were killing people left right and centre them it would not be prescribe the ball. the media sensationalises it. people do some damage but it is their choice. the group which advises government on drug misuse is in the middle of a big review into anabolic steroids and due to report its findings next year. for more on that story you can watch radio 1's, ‘steroid nation', on the iplayer now. breaking news just coming breaking newsjust coming into us. death of an iranian refugee who was murdered by his neighbour and his body satellite in his council flat injuly. it body satellite in his council flat in july. it has body satellite in his council flat injuly. it has been found that institutional racism was a factor in the police force in the events that led to his death. looking at some detail of this report that is just coming into us, the overall consensus is there was failing by the police and the city council to a professional service to bijan ebrahimi. they say his reports to both the police and the council and his repeated reports to them, of racist behaviour show that representatives of both organisations repeatedly sided with his abusers. he made 85 calls to the avon and somerset constabulary between 2007 and july 2013 when a neighbour punched and kicked him to death before setting fire to his body outside his bristol home. in 73 of those calls, bijan ebrahimi reported allegations including racial abuse, criminal damage, and threats to kill. police have failed to record a crime on each of those occasions, rather than seeing him as vulnerable, he was dismissed as a nuisance. in conclusion, this report says, there is evidence of both discriminatory behaviour and institutional racism on the part of bristol city council and gave in and somerset constabulary. we also have a statement made on behalf of bristol city council which says, we sincerely and wholeheartedly apologise for the failings in the council plasma treatment of bijan ebrahimi, leading up to his tragic death injuly ebrahimi, leading up to his tragic death in july 2000 ebrahimi, leading up to his tragic death injuly 2000 and 13. no amount of lessons learned or changes in practice can lessen the impact it had on him and his family. —— 2013. every effort will continue to be made to further identify how we need to change and improve. the council says it is committed to work with the family and other partners to achieve the objective in memory of bijan ebrahimi. that reportjust coming into us, saying there was evidence of both discriminatory and institutional... discriminatory behaviour and institutional racism on the part of bristol city council and avon and somerset constabulary in the death of the refugee, bijan ebrahimi. we will hear more from our correspondent on a breaking story very soon and also hear from

the man in 2013 has said the authorities regularly sided with his accuser. the person leading a review into regulations and fire safety has called for a ‘change in culture‘ to prevent another fire like the one at grenfell tower. it‘s not clear who takes ownership for what part of the decision making process, and for me that‘s very very important. police in lebanon have arrested a man over the murder of british diplomat, rebecca dykes. her body was found on the side of a motorway in beirut on saturday. senior cabinet ministers are meeting the prime minister to map out the uk‘s relationship with the eu after brexit. and in sport: cover your ears england fan — after winning the 3rd test in perth to wrap up the ashes series 3—0, australia captain steve smith says he‘d love to whitewash the visitors. england needed to bat throughout the final day of the third test in perth to force a draw and keep the series alive. but they lost their remaining six wickets in 3a overs to be bowled out for 218. they lost the game by an innings and 41 runs. captainjoe root admits the result is hard to take but they‘ll carry on fighting in the two remaining tests. it is bitterly disappointing, one of the most frustrating things as we have not been blown away or com pletely have not been blown away or completely outplayed, we put up some really good performances, just not for long enough, it‘s as simple as that. in all three games that have been periods we‘ve matched and outplayed australia and those key moment within the game, credit to their guys, they really grasp those and drove them home. we have got to learn from that and in these last two games it has got to be others that do that. it's been an amazing couple of weeks and i have enjoyed every moment. we have put in so much hard work, the preparation and everything that has come with this series has been huge and to know everything has worked out and we have been able to get that win back, all the emotionsjust have been able to get that win back, all the emotions just came have been able to get that win back, all the emotionsjust came out at once and i am just so pleased and happy for the group. england will have to dust themselves off now and come back strong in melbourne and sydney to avoid yet another whitewash — much of the attention on this tour has been off the field though — with many feeling the absence of all rounder ben stokes has made a difference to the squad. here‘s england coach trevor bayliss. it changed the dynamics, but i certainly think this australian team have been too strong for us, whether he was here or not. the simple fact is he was not and the guys in the team, the guys here took that on board a very early and they have not been moaning about him not being here, theyjust got on without him. but it certainly has been a change to the setup we have had over the past couple of years. sir mo farah has admitted he thought his chance of winning the bbc sports personality of the year had been and gone, as the multiple world and olympic gold medallist was awarded the honour last night, finishing ahead of motorcyclist jonathan rea and para—athletejonnie peacock. farah had previously failed to make the top three when winning double 0lympic golds in 2012 and 2016. he won the 10,000 metres at this year‘s london world athletics championships but had to settle for silver in the 5000. it's it‘s something special, it is pretty amazing. i watch the bbc sports personality of the year every year and look for what, from the coach‘s, for the athletes, for everyone who is giving back to the community and i have washed over the years and it‘s incredible to actually win this. for me, having come so close in 2012 ijust this. for me, having come so close in 2012 i just thought, this. for me, having come so close in 2012 ijust thought, this thing is so hard to win. congratulations to mo once again — find out how people voted on the bbc sport website — but for now you‘re up to date. i‘ll have more for you in the next hour. senior cabinet ministers are having formal discussions for the first time about the the uk‘s relationship with the eu after brexit. theresa may will tell mps later the uk will be leaving the single market and customs union and is keen to start drawing up trade deals with the rest of the world. the eu‘s brexit secretary michel barnier, in an interview with prospect magazine, he said the uk have to realise there won‘t be any cherry picking — and there is no way the uk will be allowed to have a bespoke trade deal. we can speak tojill rutter, programme director at the institute for government, who‘ve published a report today looking at trade after brexit. good to have you with us. talk us through what are the trade options for the uk post—brexit? through what are the trade options for the uk post-brexit? and report we look at some of the president from the eu, we had represented as michel barnier as either norway, the european economic area, or a free—trade deal of what the best they have got to date is the one with canada. we looked at some other precedents, the way the eu relates to ukraine. there are some metal weighed the eu has previously adopted and showed more flexibility —— middle ways. one thing they are very inflexible but is that if you wa nt very inflexible but is that if you want deep access to the single market that comes with an obligation to stick with eu rules and to agree to stick with eu rules and to agree to oversight by some sort of supranational to oversight by some sort of supra national institutions. ministers cannot avoid that choice much longer. they regrettably told us much longer. they regrettably told us what we do not want, they do not wa nt us what we do not want, they do not want norway or canada but what do they want, the need to stop making that case. david davis has spoken about the bespoke deal. if that‘s the kind of cherry picking michel barnier simply is not happening. all deals involve some kind of cherry picking what the eu is really worried about the ukip wanting access of norway with the obligations of canada. —— about the uk wanting access of norway. if you wa nt uk wanting access of norway. if you want deep access to the single market you have to have deep similarity with those rules and that is what you have to sacrifice. to make those choices they made some hard—headed and make those choices they made some ha rd—headed and robust make those choices they made some hard—headed and robust analysis of the economic consequences of reduced access to the eu market and how might we compensate in terms of his other great deals and can they really compensate. if we see our access particular and services to the eu particularly reduced. 0ne the eu particularly reduced. one thing the eu are talking about isa one thing the eu are talking about is a shared market approach but that does sound very similar to, market, doesn‘t it? we have a model called the regulatory partnership model which is similarto regulatory partnership model which is similar to that where you agree a process to manage their virgins over time. the interesting thing about —— manage divergence over time. the uk sta rts manage divergence over time. the uk starts from a point of complete convergence with the eu, the issue is ministers are keen to their verge, that is what the eu is worried about, they are worried about being undercut by the uk sitting just across the channel so one of the questions as can you find a way of managing that they are virgins so we can have some of the flexibility we want —— manage that by divergence. so institutions to oversee that but it is interesting to see if that features in time of discussions as that would be a new and different model. thank you very much. and tonight you can catch up with the hit bbc podcast brexitcast — with chris mason, adam fleming and laura kuenssberg. myanmar‘s leaders could face genocide charges for their treatment of the rohingya ethnic group, according to the un‘s human rights chief. he has told the bbc that the scale and nature of the violence means that decisions must have been taken at a high level. as our south asia correspondent justin rowlatt reports. monzur ali is 11 years old. he draws pictures of the horrors he has witnessed. translation: 0lderwomen were stamped on, and then the military grabbed them by the hair and slaughtered them. because i saw that, i‘m drawing this. he is one of 650,000 rohingya refugees who fled myanmar after a military assault that began in late august. "they are coming to kill us," says the man, "they are coming to kill us." he wants a criminal investigation to identify the perpetrators, and in an exclusive interview with the bbc, he does not rule out the possibility that aung san suu kyi or military leaders could end up in the dock. given the scale of the operation, clearly these would have to be decisions taken at a high enough level. and then there‘s the crime of omission, that if it came to your knowledge that this was being committed, and you did nothing to stop it, then you could be culpable as well for that. he says only a court can judge that, but he is determined thatjustice should be done. in the meantime, though, monzur ali and hundreds of thousands like him remain in limbo. we asked aung san suu kyi for a response, but she has not replied. justin rowlatt, bbc news. more on our breaking news, the report into the death of bijan ebrahimi, and the raining refugee murdered by his neighbour injuly 2000 and 13. that report found institutional racism was a factor in the feelings of avon and somerset co nsta bula ry the feelings of avon and somerset constabulary and bristol council. the report says they repeatedly sided with the abusers of the man, after wrongly been accused of being after wrongly been accused of being a paedophile. bijan ebrahimi‘s sisters have been giving reaction to their brother‘s death. sisters have been giving reaction to their brother's death. we were shocked, after all these years, there is institutional racism still existing in the council place or other organisations, but they should never see this sort of behaviour. it's never see this sort of behaviour. it‘s really disappointing. i acknowledging that is a huge relief. we have been looking for over four yea rs we have been looking for over four years to tell people we believe him and he was always saying this was happening to him and now this report is out saying the race was at an institutional level in both the police and the council. it is shocking. we associate the phrase institutional racism with the report into the way the metropolitan police dealt with the stephen lawrence case. that is 15 years after stephen lawrence that this happened to bijan ebrahimi. to think there was institutional basis on all these years after institutional racism was first used them that report, what is your reaction to that?

discuss what the uk‘s relationship with the eu should look like after brexit. i‘m ben thompson — in the business news. a think tank has proposed a post—brexit trading deal based on the uk and the eu sharing each other‘s markets. the institute for public policy research says it would expect the two markets to share the same rules and regulations but form a new customs union similar to the existing one. hundreds of thousands of young people are to be automatically enrolled in workplace pensions for the first time. the programme is being extended to include all workers aged 18 and over, that‘s four years earlier than current rules. there‘s needs to be urgent action to tackle poor mobile phone coverage according to the head of the national infrastructure commission. new figures from the regulator 0fcom show that many areas of the uk still have limited or no access to 4g services. growth in uk exports hit a nine month high — outperforming the export growth of europe‘s other largest economies. according to the latest figures by accountancy firm bdo, the uk is ahead france, germany, italy and spain even though they too are boosting exports faster than expected. it‘s thought the overall pick—up in global economy is increasing demand for goods in europe. lee hopley, chief economist, from the manufacturers organisation the eef. it is an interesting story because we thought, all the brexit uncertainty might leave the uk then a vulnerable position selling things overseas but the latest figures do not suggest that. we have consistently seem that through the second half of this year in particular when we have seen robust improvement in the global economy and uk exporters benefiting. growth is good to both eu and non—eu markets and the weaker exchange rate has given an added boost to uk exporters versus some of their european counterparts. the big question is how do we make sure we sustain this in the medium—term? brexit clearly has not had significant implications yet, we are clearly moving towards the end game and looking at discussions around our future relationship with the rest of the world. that could be pivotal when we work out what that will mean. a word on the weak pound. that is what makes things cheaper so anyone selling abroad, because the pound is so cheap that makes goods cheaper, which is good news? that has helped but you manufacturing is part of integrated supply change and it does import quite a lot of raw materials and other intermediate goods and components to the cost of some of those has put some pressure on profit margins and created some challenges and pricing strategies for uk manufacturers, both at home and overseas. you touched on how we might sustain this, given the uncertainty at the moment around what sort of trade deal might get with you, what do your members tell you is vital? our starting position with the eu is we have free trade with the goods at the moment and so retaining as much of that access as possible is absolutely critical and having a transition period where there is real clarity about that framework is going to be very important. it‘s not just about the rules for trading, it‘s also about the necessary investment that must take place across the sector right now and in orderfor uk across the sector right now and in order for uk companies to across the sector right now and in orderfor uk companies to remain globally competitive they must continue to invest in new technology and capabilities here in the uk. why, thanks so much. in other business news: ryanair pilots have suspended a

organisation says the places gaining the status are increasingly quirky. 0ur correspondent, jon donnison, has been looking at the latest additions. from whipsnade tree cathedral in dunstable to a working men‘s club in eastbourne, from the old milestone markers on the ba073 in gloucestershire, to the grave of blackie the warhorse in merseyside. it is an eclectic list of the historic england selection of the most intriguing sites registered in 2017. we just put up 20 that demonstrate the enormous range. i mean, we‘re not really talking about big places anymore, because most of those — most of those are on the list already. it‘s been going for 70 years. we‘re talking about individual places which perhaps were not very well—known, which we think deserve protection. and this includes this victorian gas tower off the old kent road in london. on a drab december day, it may not be much to look at, but when it was completed, in 1881, gasholder no 13, as it is known, was the biggest ever built, and its design went on to be replicated around the world. it is an imposing structure, and like all those listed in 2017, not one that will be going anywhere any time soon. a new plan for tackling plastic waste has been outlined by the environment secretary michael gove. he says he wants to reduce the amount of plastics used in the uk and to make sure more is recycled. mr gove says he‘s been moved to act faster after seeing david attenborough‘s blue planet series which highlighted the harm to marine life from plastic litter. 0ur environment analyst roger harrabin is with me now. roger, how is michael gold proposing to make us use less plastic?” should start by saying this is not a firm plan, these arejust should start by saying this is not a firm plan, these are just his thoughts as he realises he has got to ta ke thoughts as he realises he has got to take this issue seriously. he mentioned blue planet, i have only really astonished at the depth of impact blue planet has had globally, it seems to have galvanised action. he is focusing his thoughts on, firstly, reducing the total amount of plastic in the economy and, secondly, cutting the number of different plastics there are. there is so many different tapes which makes it very difficult for recyclers to recycle. if he goes ahead that he will go as dense some offers on deregulation instincts by directly trying to impact on the market —— going against some of his instincts on deregulation. he also wa nts instincts on deregulation. he also wants it easier for individuals to be able to recycle. people are unsure what they can recycle or where they can recycle certain materials. so harmonisation of recycling rules? ido so harmonisation of recycling rules? i do not want to push this too far as this is not policy but already contacted local government authority and they said we cannot harmonise and they said we cannot harmonise and we need local solutions. while they are saying that it means you in one border have one recycling regime and over the borough boundary someone and over the borough boundary someone has a completely different resume. there is big pressure on michael gove and the government because china, which currently receives a huge amount of the uk‘s plastic waste is changing the rules on how much foreign waste it accepts. does the uk have the capacity to currently recycle the plastic going to china? law, it doesn‘t. he was categoric about that and said we do not. —— no, it doesn‘t. we have to look to other south—east asian nations to do work for us at the moment. but he said we have got to stop off shoring our own dirt. this is a very difficult and complex policy. thank you for bringing us up to date. the headlines are coming up on the bbc news

to ashes — australia storm to a massive win over england in the third test in perth. good afternoon. welcome to bbc newsroom live. an official report has found that the council and police in bristol showed "institutional racism" in the way they treated an iranian refugee in the years before he was murdered. bijan ebrahimi was beaten to death and his body set on fire injuly 2013 after he was wrongly accused of being a paedophile.. the report found that police "repeatedly sided with the abusers". a neighbour has been convicted of murder and two police officers were jailed for misconduct. our news correspondentjon kay has been following the story. bijan ebrahimi was a vulnerable man, he was born in iran, came here to the city of bristol as a refugee. and he was murdered in the summer of 2013. he was beaten to death by a neighbour and his body was set on fire. now, a man called lee james is already in prison for murder. two police officers have also been jailed in the last couple of years, found guilty of misconduct. but today, this is finally, nearly five years on, a report by the safer bristol partnership, into the way the council here and avon and somerset police treated bijan ebrahimi, notjust in the days before he was murdered, but in the years after he arrived in bristol and leading up to his death. and it is a damning indictment, his family would say, of the way of those organisations handled his case. it says that bijan ebrahimi repeatedly went to the council, to the police, over the course of many years, to say that he was the victim of abuse and harassment, often he said it was racist. but that he would be ignored. the authorities would treat him as a pest, as a nuisance, as a time waster. and very often they sided with and believed the people he was accusing of racially abusing him rather than taking the words of this man, bijan ebrahimi, a refugee himself. probably the most damning words, the most striking words are at the right at the end of this report. which says that was collective failure by the council and by the police which amounts, it says, to institutional racism. you will remember that phrase from the macpherson report, the way the metropolitan police handled the stephen lawrence case back in 1999. it is very unusual these days, for a phrase like institutional racism to appear. but, it‘s what the family of bijan ebrahimi always believed was the case. now they have it, in a printed document. they say they are satisfied with that but horrified that all the years after the stephen lawrence case there was apparently still institutional racism hanging here in the uk. they hope the recommendations, 1a recommendations which were made in this report today, will be followed up notjust in bristol but across the country to make sure that there are no other victims like bijan ebrahimi. jon kay has also spoken to two of bijan ebrahimi‘s sisters, and asked what they thoughts about that the found that institutional racism was a factor in his death. we have been shocked to see that after all these years there is still institutional racism still existing within council, police, all the other organisations, that they should then never see this sort of reaction and the sort of behaviour, from the people that are looking after the public, it is really disappointing. acknowledging that for us was a huge, huge relief. things that we‘ve been looking for for over four years to tell people that we believe bijan and he was always saying that this was happening to me. today, they are saying that racism at an institutional level in both police and council is really shocking. we associate that phrase, institutional racism, with the macpherson report that came out in 1999 into the way the metropolitan police dealt with the stephen lawrence case. it‘s 15 years after stephen lawrence that this happened to bijan, to think that there was institutional racism all those years after institutional racism was used in the macpherson report, what is your reaction to that? absolutely shocking and devastating. especially as a family, if these things happen, it is just unacceptable. you feel it more than you hear from a distance, and as you said, after all these years, things happening still within the organisations is absolutely shocking. the lawyer representing the family of bijan ebrahimi gave his reaction. well, the family have always been clear that the racism which blighted his life went far beyond his local community and deep into both the police and the council. the police acknowledged that some time ago, it is important today that the council has acknowledged the institutional nature of the racism. until the root cause of that problem is identified it is impossible to find a solution. the family are committed to working with the mayor and others to find a solution and make the authorities accountable to those commitments. those words, institutional racism, are significant. under any analysis this is a landmark campaign by the family. it should not be underestimated, the told that it has exacted on them, coming at a time of deep personal tragedy. —— toll. a review into building regulations following the grenfell tower fire says there should be a ‘culture change‘ to ensure that safety is prioritised over cost. dame judith hackitt — who is carrying out the review for the government — makes a series of recommendations to simplify the rules and change the way they are overseen. in her interim report out this morning, she also says regulations are confusing and open to interpretation. the interim report tells us that what we have in place today is a system which is evolved over a number of years, it is overly complex and that complexity does not lead to it being as effective as it needs to be. what sort of are we talking about specifically? we‘re talking about a system which is where there is too much prescription, where there is a very heavily layered system of guidance currently which is not helpful in terms of leading people to the right answer. so, my aim to the future is to create a much simpler and more straightforward system that would be easier for people to follow. but that needs to be reinforced with a number of changes in behaviour which will include a major culture change across all of the players in this. it needs a radical rethink of how competence is measured because we don‘t know enough about people‘s qualifications to make particular decisions in relation to high—rise buildings. we also need to put a system in place which is more effective and clearer about how products are tested. and we need to be very clear about who was responsible for what in the system. because part of what i found is that it is not clear who takes ownership for the decision—making process and to me that is very important. which groups are we talking about, central government, local authorities? some of this is about the people who build properties, some of it is about people who regulate that building process or those who advise on the building process. but what i would also emphasises that when i talk about looking at the system as a whole, this is notjust about new—build, this is also about how you manage the life cycle of a building. because buildings are in use for very much longer than they are being built and even if you start out with a building that has been built to the standards, people living in it, particularly multiple occupancy high—rise buildings, there are many changes they get made in the life cycle of a building. and in a multiple occupancy building that needs to be controlled properly, it needs to be managed in such a way that the integrity that was originally designed into the building is maintained. ellis, what sort of reaction has there been to this report? grin for local mp has welcomed the report this morning. she treated it was a vindication for the residents and the concerns they have been raising. she was alsojoined the concerns they have been raising. she was also joined for the mp for totte n ha m she was also joined for the mp for tottenham whose friends died in the towel, and he said the report was damning and deeply concerning, no more cutting corners. but, the report was also welcomed from inside the industry. sir adrian dobson told the industry. sir adrian dobson told the today programme earlier today that the report confirmed what was already widely accepted, that the construction guidance was flawed and confusing. what happens next? dame judith is due in parliament around 2:30pm today, she will be answering questions from mps, not only on the report, but on any future recommendations and the full report is due out in spring next year. thank you. police in beirut say they‘ve arrested a man in connection with the murder of rebecca dykes, who worked for the department for international development at the british embassy. her body was found dumped by the side of a motorway on saturday, police say she‘d been strangled. the police have said that she was strangled, we know the man that was arrested, the suspect is a lebanese taxi driver. that is almost all we know. she was out on friday with friends in downtown beirut in a very popular area in a street full of restau ra nt popular area in a street full of restaurant and bars, and once she left that party, nobody heard from her again until she was found on that highway slightly to the east of beirut. the arrest was made this morning. there was a little bit of speculation about whether there may be any political motivation is given the nature of herjob, that she works for the department for international development. but, police sources have been saying that they do not believe there is any political motivation in the case. you can see the huge sense of shock in the tributes being paid by her friends and colleagues. yes, of course. clearly, it is very, very shocking for all those that knew her and worked with her. let the —— lebanon has seen high profile cases of murder or domestic violence and these things have been in the news on and off lately, and they have been causing a lot of shock. of course, in this case it was mainly, not just the shock course, in this case it was mainly, notjust the shock but course, in this case it was mainly, not just the shock but also course, in this case it was mainly, notjust the shock but also the speculation about political motivation that characterise the first few hours after we heard that somebody who works at the british embassy as we first heard was murdered, but then it quickly became clear that this was another murder case without, at least so far, any hint of political connection. some news just coming into hint of political connection. some newsjust coming into its hint of political connection. some news just coming into its from west yorkshire police. we are hearing that a man has died after a police chase in west yorkshire. 0fficers we re chase in west yorkshire. 0fficers were pursuing a car in bradford when it crashed on a stretch of motorway on the outskirts of the city. this was in the early hours of the morning. the carfailed to was in the early hours of the morning. the car failed to stop for officers on stoney ridge road in bradford and then was pursued for around eight miles before colliding with a barrier on the m6 06, the driver, a man in the 30s died at the same police say an due to the circumstances, same police say an due to the ci rcu msta nces, west same police say an due to the circumstances, west yorkshire police have referred the crash to the independent police complaints commission who will investigate. the first of six victims killed in a multiple pile—up in birmingham has been named as taxi driver imtiaz mohammed. the father of six had told his wife he was on his lastjob and was on his way home. police are investigating how the crash happened, as jane frances kelly reports. debris can be seen strewn across four lanes in these pictures taken in the immediate aftermath of the crash. one of those who died in what was described as a harrowing scene has been named as taxi driver imtiaz mohammed, who was a father—of—six. he had called his wife to say it was his lastjob of the night, and that he would be on his way home shortly. two passengers in mr mohammed‘s taxi also died, but the man and the woman in the small car crushed between the taxi and the wall walked away with minor injuries. the crash happened on a section of the belgrave middle way, a busy road in the heart of birmingham. the vehicles collided at an entrance to an underpass at the junction of bristol road. the road had to be closed to allow the emergency services to safely examine the scene. it will take some time to unpick the scene, and just understand exactly what‘s happened, and it would be unfair of me to speculate at this time. what i can say is that we‘re looking into all sorts of conditions, the road conditions. we‘re aware the road was gritted at 5:00pm last night, but obviously that‘s just one factor of many that we need to consider. the police are appealing for witnesses, and any footage they may have, to try to piece together the cause of the multi—car crash. the headlines on bbc newsroom

host an unassailable three only lead in this series. england will need to come back strong to avoid another whitewash. 0ur correspondent is in perth. it has been coming for some time. but for a stroller‘s plays it does not make it any the less sweet, orfor english players does not make it any the less sweet, or for english players any the less painful. the strategy at securing the ashes with an emphatic victory giving them an unassailable 3—0 lead. that —— australia. rain seeped in under the covers and created damp patches on the wicked witch caused a three—hour delay while staff with leaf blowers tried to dry up those patches. but once played did get under way australia didn‘t waste much time. jonny bairstow went to the first earl of the day. clean bowled. mauri nally and once down with milan went after another impressive half—century. the final wicket went to pat cummings, chris woa kes wicket went to pat cummings, chris woakes the last man out. that started celebrations amongst the australia players. they have outplayed england in every facet of this series. the bowler have thrown more pace, the batsmen more durable. england can have few complaints about the scoreline. australia have regained the ashes in the western australia in cricket ground in emphatic style. it is bitterly disappointing, we have not been blown away, we have not been completely outplayed. we have put up some really good performances, just not for long enough, it is simple as that really. in all three games they have been periods where we have matched and outplayed australia and we those key moments within the game, credit to their guys and their site, they have grasped those and drove them home. we have to learn from that and make sure in these la st two from that and make sure in these last two games it is asked that does that. it has been an amazing couple of weeks, i have really enjoyed every moment of it. we have put in so every moment of it. we have put in so much hard work, the preparation and everything that has come with this series, it has been huge. to know that everything has worked out and we have been able to get that and we have been able to get

during what she calls an implementation period. the meeting between senior ministers in the government comes as michel barnier , the eu‘s chief brexit negotiator said there is ‘no way‘ the uk will be allowed to have a bespoke trade deal. in an interview with prospect magazine , he said the uk "have to realise there won‘t be any cherry picking." and that the uk ‘have to face the consequences of their own decision.‘ theresa may is sure to encounter a plethora of ideas from her cabinet, from those advocating maintaining broad alignment with the eu, to those suggesting divergence, as our assistant political editor norman smith explains. it is all about the dword, die virgins. how far we should stick by eu rules and regulations. —— divergences. and how far we should divert and free the uk up to be striking its own trade deals. there isa striking its own trade deals. there is a clear difference in the cap on it where a priority must be given by staying close to the single market, like philip hammond and amber rudd, and those like borisjohnson and michael gove to project a more confident note that we can go our own way, strike our own deals, we do not have to stay chic byjowl with the eu. the two plurality of which have been ruled out by theresa may, but it gives you a sense of the divergence of the argument, norway is outside the eu but crucially remains inside the single market. it has complete access to the single market, but it has to abide by eu rules and regulations including things like freedom of movement, and yet it also has to pay substantial sums to the eu for that access to the market. if you look at the canada example where they have a free trade deal. that enables canada to go and strike its own trade deals with other countries and is not encumbered by any ties with the eu. it is also removed something like 98% of all tariffs with the eu through that trade deal, however, the canada deal does not cover the service sector. that matters in the british context because something like 80% of the british economy is the service sector. we really need a deal that encompasses services. but those are the two programme it is, any sense theresa may is trying to negotiate a middle course between the two. which would ensure access to the single market without having to the single market without having to abide by too many eu rules. and tonight you

the short term, we have got some clear weather. but here‘s the fog forming through the course of italy tuesday. he can see how extensive it is. freezing cold in some areas, but only far north of scotland, 9 degrees, a very different story. tomorrow, scotland, in some eastern parts can be quite mild. but look at this fog. so, even luton, stansted and london city could be in for some delays, at least potentially. be prepared first thing in the morning, maybe check with your airlines. this is what it looks like tomorrow afternoon. some that fog will disperse, not all of that though. the places it will stick around it will be cold. thank you. this is bbc newsroom live. our latest headlines: a report into the murder of an iranian refugee in a bristol flat in 2013 says the "collective failure" of both the police this report that seeing that racism within the institutional level in both police and council is really shocking. the person leading a review into regulations and fire safety has called for a "change in culture" to prevent another fire like the one at grenfell tower. police in lebanon have arrested a man over the murder of british woman, rebecca dykes. her body was found on the side of a motorway in beirut on saturday. senior cabinet ministers are meeting the prime minister to map out the uk‘s relationship with the eu after brexit. a review into building regulations following the grenfell tower fire says there should be a "culture change" to ensure that safety is prioritised over cost. dame judith hackitt — who is carrying out the review for the government — made a series of recommendations to simplify the rules and change the way they are overseen. earlier i spoke to their executive director who told me more progress is needed to enforce regulations i think she has made a good start in looking at both aspects, i sent she has made lots of progress on her regulations are enforced and managed but less so on the gate into the industry uses to comply with these regulations. —— less so on the guidance. let's look more at what those regulations are. a number of issues have been looked at, smoke alarms, retrofitting of smoke alarms, retrofitting of smoke alarms, single steel rails to access or exit high—rise buildings, —— sta i rwells. or exit high—rise buildings, —— stairwells. what is your view must be done to improve safety?” stairwells. what is your view must be done to improve safety? i think thatis be done to improve safety? i think that is the disappointing element of the report, we have some real concerns about the guidance of the construction industry uses to comply with building regulations in relation to fire and we believe it is very flawed and confusing document. we have so many high rise residential buildings we have a serious fire safety concerns related to and we have had the major regulatory and compliance failure. why is that a failure you are your individual italy side? what illustrates that is we have over 200 high—rise buildings that have been signed off by the building control authorities and we know there are serious issues with them. for example, the approved document at the moment creates the concept of a limited company stability and you can use these materials to clad high—rise buildings —— limited combustibility. if those fall within the regulations when it comes to enforcing the regulations it difficult for someone to say, i don‘t think this is safe because according to the standard guidelines it falls within permitted development. that's right but the problem is there is so much ambiguity within regulations and relies on complex testing methodologies which we think need to be simplified. there are also things that could be immediately improved, for example, new residential buildings taller than 30 metres happy to have sprinklers but others do not. —— 30 metres high. if you refurbish the tower block you have to make consequential improvements and improve the energy performance of those buildings but not improve the fire performance. that is something dame judith has the fire performance. that is something damejudith has picked up on andi something damejudith has picked up on and i think we will eventually see that change but we would have liked to have seen an immediate review of the approved document. a new plan for tackling plastic waste has been outlined by the environment secretary michael gove. he says he wants to reduce the amount of plastics used in the uk and to ensure more is recycled. mr gove says he‘s been moved to act faster after seeing david attenborough‘s blue planet series which highlighted the harm to marine life from plastic litter. a small village in west wales is at the forefront of the uk‘s fight against plastic pollution and its community has set up a "plastic—free committee". in its first move, "plastic free aberporth" has encouraged the local pub to stop using plastic straws. one of the campaigners is the owner of the local village store, mike allen. very good to talk to you. how this campaign began as an —— how did this begin? we have done lots with the environment side of things for a numberof years, our environment side of things for a number of years, our local school we nt number of years, our local school went over to the eco—schools green flag scheme about 12 years ago and we have always been conscious of the way our local looked after. recently i worked campaign went off on an expedition around the country to highlight potential issues of pollution around the uk. when she came back... so this started out... tell us what you are doing in the village shop? 0ur village shop? our local pub, they started by going over to paper straws and non—plastic containers for condiments. things like mayonnaise and catch up. act—mac catch up. the local takeaway cafes started using paper plates and non—plastic, wood and forks. they have a scheme of bring your own monk. —— bring your own mug. to what extent do you want to reduce the use of plastic, is it possible to see 100% or is that unrealistic? it's to see 100% or is that unrealistic? it‘s unrealistic to go completely plastic free because lots of manufacturers would need to come on board, things like the... as a shock we can only get plastic bottles of lemonade and soft drinks —— as a shop. so while we have gone back to the old school glass of milk bottles for the points we cannot get the two points and four points or one litre and two litre in glass, u nfortu nately. and two litre in glass, unfortunately. but it is a start. we are trying to do as much as we can. there is also education for people to see where plastics are, things like tea bags, we try and sort of loose tea as an alternative to tea bags because lots of people do not realise without the plastics in your tea bag you would get stuff on the bottom of your clock. at the moment it is unrealistic to go completely plastic free but if everybody does two or three items in their business it isa two or three items in their business it is a start. it certainly is at it‘s an inspiration. —— and it‘s a inspiration to many people. she myanmar‘s leaders could face she genocide charges for their treatment of the rohingya ethnic group, according to the un‘s human rights chief. he has told the bbc that the scale and nature of the violence means that decisions must have been taken at a high level. as our south asia correspondent justin rowlatt reports. monzur ali is 11 years old. he draws pictures of the horrors he has witnessed. translation: 0lderwomen were stamped on, and then the military grabbed them by the hair and slaughtered them. because i saw that, i‘m drawing this. he is one of 650,000 rohingya refugees who fled myanmar after a military assault that began in late august. "they are coming to kill us," says the man, "they are coming he wants a criminal investigation to identify the perpetrators, and in an exclusive interview with the bbc, he does not rule out the possibility that aung san suu kyi or military leaders could end up in the dock. given the scale of the operation, clearly these would have to be decisions taken at a high enough level. and then there‘s the crime of omission, that if it came to your knowledge that this was being committed, and you did nothing to stop it, then you could be culpable as well for that. he says only a court can judge that, but he is determined thatjustice should be done. in the meantime, though, monzur ali and hundreds of thousands like him remain in limbo. we asked aung san suu kyi for a response, but she has not replied. justin rowlatt, bbc news. you can watch that full report is an panorama tonight ‘s at 730 pm on bbc 0ne. panorama tonight ‘s at 730 pm on bbc one. viewers in scotland can watch it on the bbc iplayer. tens of thousands of people may be putting themselves at increased risk of dying early from heart attacks and strokes because they‘re mis—using anabolic steroids. the british cardiovascular society has issued the stark warning amid concern steroids are now being used by more people than ever before, especially by young men who feel under pressure to have the perfect body. radio one newsbeat‘s dan whitworth reports. since 29—year—old janice doing what he does best. it is what five years of ha rd he does best. it is what five years of hard work, dedication and black anabolic steroid looks like. i feel more awake, better myself, i have a higher sex drive. the arm —— there are some serious medical risks such as increased risk of heart attacks or strokes, mood swings, infertility. does that worry you? everything we do in life carries a risk of heart attack, cancer, whatever. whatever it is, i will get those risks anyway so it is, i will get those risks anyway soi it is, i will get those risks anyway so i choose not to do certain things but i choose this lifestyle instead so but i choose this lifestyle instead soido but i choose this lifestyle instead so i do not go out drinking and smoking, but i take steroids. anabolic steroids are legal to use and possess across the uk. what is illegal is supplying them unless you area illegal is supplying them unless you are a doctor and escort you could face a prison sentence of up to 1a yea rs. -- if yea rs. —— if you are caught. they cause an imbalance of hormones which can damage organs and in particular the heart. this man spoke on condition of anonymity. there is a broad spectrum of users, from young guys just starting out and training are looking to bulk up for a summer holiday... 0r and training are looking to bulk up for a summer holiday... or they and training are looking to bulk up for a summer holiday... 0r theyjust wa nt to for a summer holiday... 0r theyjust want to attract the girls. these are the guys you have to be more informative when you talk to them about it and make them more aware of the risks and the dangers. according to public health experts hundreds of thousands of people are using anabolic steroids and government figures show there were just 25 convictions relating to illegally supplying them in the last two months and years and just seven of those ended with a prison sentence. what about the health of the people you are supplying, they can face things like infertility, mood swings, getting strokes, a decade earlier than the average, heart attacks, it is illegalfor a reason. yeah. i do not agree with it being illegal because doctors prescribed testosterone to me so if there is a reason. . . you are not a doctor. but i see they prescribe it so restaurant —— testosterone, if it was killing lots of people they would not prescribe it, i think an immediate sensationalises it. it does damage the health of some people but that is their choice. the group that advises the government and drug misuse is carrying out a review on anabolic steroids and is due to report next year. for more on that story you can watch bbc radio 1‘s, steroid nation, on the iplayer now. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: the iranian refugee murdered by his neighbour — a review finds the police and council showed institutional racism in the years before his death. lebanese police say a man — believed to be a taxi—driver — has been arrested on suspicion of killing the british embassy worker rebecca dykes. a review of building regulations following the grenfell fire says safety should be prioritised over cost. sexual abuse and harassment in the music industry are "endemic," with people at the very top abusing their power. that‘s what a group of women, working across the industry, has told the victoria derbyshire programme. it‘s spent the last month hearing from artists and musicians, as well as women working for music companies, who have recounted incidents of serious abuse and assault. some are now collecting evidence in order to uncover how widespread this behaviour is within the industry. jean mackenzie has some of their stories. and a warning, there are graphic sexual descriptions in her report. when amy was 15 she was contacted by a managerfrom one of the uk‘s largest music companies. they started working together and she quickly became a successful artist. soon after, she says, everything went wrong. he told me he was in love with me and if i did not agree to be his girlfriend that he would ruin my career. over the next two years he continued to blackmail me and threaten me to be in a relationship. what sort of things did he say to you to make you stay with him? he convinced me he was the only reason i was having any success and if i told anybody, that success would go away. for chloe, success also came at a young age, after being signed atjust 16. she says while she has experienced serious harassment, she knows girls who have had far worse. i know girls who have been raped. and it's always a man in power and a girl on the rise who needs as much support as possible, whose career has not started yet. yasmin is a music manager, and last month, frustrated by the amount of harassment she had seen and experienced in the industry, she put out a call asking women to come forward with their stories. what i found is i am getting less stories of sexual harassment and innuendo, and more stories of serious sexual assault, more rape stories than i could possibly have imagined. this has encouraged michelle to speak out after more than 20 years. while working for a major music company in her 20s she says a more senior colleague repeatedly assaulted her. one day i was with a girl in the office and we were told, could be go see him after work? so we went up to his office and then he turned around to us both, took out his penis and said, "i want to have a threesome with you. come on, girls, let‘s do it." we went to a lawyer and we were categorically told he had committed a serious crime. but the lawyer said if you report this you will never work in the industry again. why have you decided to finally speak about what happened ? because i never want it to happen to anybody again. young women are being sexually assaulted still today. there are some very dangerous men in this business. looking back, do you think he groomed you? yeah, i do think he groomed me. i was 15 when we met and he was looking online for a girl to manage. i have no doubt there are people working in the music industry today who should be imprisoned. maybe some of the horrific things they did were a long time ago, they probably have forgotten about them, but i can assure you their victims haven‘t. parkinson‘s can leave people struggling to walk, speak and sleep. there is no cure and no definitive diagnostic test. but now prompted by a woman in perth who can smell the condition, scientists are working on discovering the molecules responsible for the odour. and as elizabeth quigley reports that could lead to a simple test and earlier diagnosis. joy milne from perth has quite an incredible sense of smell. she knew her husband had parkinson‘s before he was diagnosed because his smell changed. it was a new smell, i didn‘t know what it was, i had not met its anywhere else so it was not in my memory. i kept on thinking, goodness, this smell. and i kept on saying to him, you‘re not showering, what‘s wrong, what are you doing? and he became quite upset about it, he really did. so ijust started to be quiet. she only linked this to parkinson‘s after they joined a support group and she could smell it everywhere. les died two years ago at the age of 65, but before then joy‘s accuracy was tested. could her ability change things for patients? you can imagine a small collection of fairly inexpensive tests, and a skin swab for an odour would be very inexpensive. that is a game changer, if you can give someone a very accurate prediction if they are on the verge of parkinson‘s based on molecular signatures on their skin. that has led this scientist in manchester to try to track them down. here we have ten features, ten molecules, that are distinctive to that population and so we think molecules may well be whatjoy is smelling. because this type of analysis was most similar tojoy‘s smell. and in the future that could lead to a simple diagnostic test and make a real difference to people living with parkinson‘s. you can see more on this story at 7:30pm tonight on bbc one scotland and afterwards on the bbc iplayer. so, as we‘ve been reporting, last night marked another high in the career of sir mo farah because he won the bbc sports personality of the year. the four—time olympic champion was honoured at an evening of celebration in liverpool. damejessica ennis was also among those recognised, receiving a lifetime achievement award. let‘s take a look at some of the highlights from the evening. it's it‘s showtime! this famous trophy has made its way north from wimbledon and the biggest names in sport are here to see who will be crowned bbc sports personality of the year. i was proud of him as a person and how he dealt with everything and how he put others before himself. i was just proud. wow, i'm slightly overwhelmed but honoured to receive this on behalf of bradley. 0ur of bradley. our 2017 lifetime achievement award winner, thejessica ennis—hill. iam winner, thejessica ennis—hill. i am completely overwhelmed. to be stood here with these amazing woman who inspired me throughout my career and in this room full of so many legions is unbelievable. you left no stone unturned and can have no regrets with your career?

a baby panda born at a zoo injapan is being shown off to the public for the first time this week. staff at the zoo say the panda, named xiang xiang is healthy, and is being looked after well by mum shin shin. xiang xiang was born injune and has excited people injapan enormously. the zoo has received nearly 250,000 applications for a lottery to see her up close — but for those who don‘t get a ticket, the zoo will live stream xiang xiang‘s life online for a year. the zoo is limiting the number of visitors to 2,000 a day for a one to two minute slot outside the panda enclosure. ina in a moment we will have the news at one but frost here is the weather forecast. the weather is a lot better today compared to yesterday, yesterday was awful across the country but today we have had more sunshine, nice, crisp frosty start and that is how it remains. this evening we have a problem because dense fog will form across many parts of england, central, southern and eastern england. these are the temperatures around the evening. more mild in scotla nd around the evening. more mild in scotland with south—westerly winds of the atlantic. look at the fog, it becomes a dense in the early hours of tuesday. the midlands, eastern england, east anglia and the south as well. temperature of the night will be close to freezing where fog is so the risk of freezing fog which could be slippery but in the north that will be more mild and not so dense fog. the fog will bring problems to some airports, places like heathrow, luton, stansted, london city and risk of being affected by fog and that fog could linger through the morning into the afternoon and when that happens at this time of the year the temperature cannot simply rise because there is no sunshine so it could hover around zero where the thick fog persists. look how much more mild it is in eastern scotland, a different story here, also in northern ireland. south—westerly winds off the atlantic with some rain tomorrow evening mild air pushing through but the fog i guess across some parts of england will return the following night. that ta kes return the following night. that takes us into wednesday, lots of cloud across the country, some rain here and there but mild. the jet stream is to the north of oz for the rest of the week, high pressure over us for the rest of the week, high pressure over us with lots of cloud and drizzle so not necessarily sunny. the week ahead, not much rainfall with the high pressure, light winds, often cloudy. a review of building regulations, following the grenfell tower fire, says the current system isn‘t fit for purpose. the report‘s author says she was "shocked" by some of the practices she saw and says there needs to be a change in culture — to put safety first. what that report says is that the current system and that there is a need for a major overhaul of the system. also this lunchtime. the iranian refugee murdered by his neighbour — a review finds the police and council showed institutional racism in the years before his death. absolutely shocking and devastating. especially as a family if these things happen, it‘s just unacceptable. a man has been arrested in connection with the murder
