"a dilution of brexit." writing in the sunday telegraph, she says there's "a real danger" the uk will sign up to deal which would "keep us in the eu in all but name". a downing street spokesperson said the government is committed to delivering brexit and a "deep and special future partnership" with the eu. our political correspondent, susana mendonca, is with us in the studio. what exactly has the reeza vellios been saying? she refers to the low—cost house speech that the prime minister gave last year, which went down very well with brexiteers —— the lancaster house speech. theresa de villiers says that was a bold vision, but since then the direction of travel has, as far as she's concerned, only been going in one direction, and that is towards this idea of a dilutions of brexit. she talks about how, if that were to happen, it would fail to respect the referendum result. there are a lot of backbenchers who have been pretty concerned that the brexit negotiations have not been going in the direction they would like. the reeza vellios's intervention is a result of that. what about the timing of this intervention? we are expecting tomorrow that the eu 27, the other eu countries, will basically put across their position on how they see the trade negotiations going on. and in particular, this idea of whether or not the transition period and what form the transition period would take. people notice david davis, the brexit secretary, has told so black been talking about the implementation period rather than a transition period. —— has been talking about. that would allow britain to negotiate trade deals during that period of time. it is unclear as to whether or not the eu would support that idea. there have been suggestions that they say there would not be any trade deal signed until the gas through the whole transition period. that's part of the reason why we have heard that kind of language being used. a lot of brexiteers are using this weekend to talk about their concerns. of brexiteers are using this weekend to talk about their concernsm isn't only the reeza vellios who has been speaking out. we have also had grant shapps, who led something of a botched coup attempt to get rid of theresa may after her speech at the tory party conference which didn't go particularly well back in october. he has been talking to the mail on sunday, basically saying that the pm has the name a date when she will stand down, and otherwise suggesting there might be a vote of no—confidence, basically saying that, you know, there are those within the party are concerned about this direction of travel. we've had other people speaking out in the past few days, for example jacob rees—mogg, a prominent backbencher concerned about this idea that, certainly following the commons from philip hammond, the chancellor, when he talked about how the relationship between britain and the eu, there would be a very modest change in that relationship. that didn't go down well with jacob rees—mogg. a lot of backbenchers wary about the direction and wanted to make sure that it keeps on track. susanna, thank you. the taliban has claimed responsibility for a sucide bombing in kabul yesterday that killed 95 people. another 150 were injured after the attackers blew up an ambulance full of explosives close to foreign embassies and the police headquarters. it's the second major attack in the afghan capital in a week. our reporter has the latest for us. the authorities have been working throughout the night and into the morning to clear up the scene of the explosion. they're not allowing us past this cordon at the moment, but you can still see some of the damage that was caused. the suicide attacker was driving an ambulance packed with explosives. he managed to get past this first checkpoint, but then when he reached a second one he was apparently questioned and blew himself up. it's not exactly clear what his target was. a police building is right opposite the scene of the blast. the indian embassy is also just slightly further up the road. but, as is often the case, it seems that a large number of those killed and wounded in this terrible incident are civilians. translation: i was sitting and working on the computer, and suddenly i heard a huge bang. then the whole ceiling fell down on top of me. this attack comes just a week after the taliban killed more than 20 people in another attack on the intercontinental hotel in kabul. they've claimed responsibility for this explosion too, which has been widely condemned by both leaders in afghanistan and across the world, including the us president, donald trump. the security situation in afghanistan, and in particular in kabul, seems to be getting a lot worse. militants seem to be focusing their efforts on targeting the capital rather than on fighting security forces in rural areas. but to give you an idea of the level of bloodshed in the country, more than 2000 civilians lost their lives in the first nine months of last year alone. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by mr trump to be finance chairman of the republican national committee. he's alleged to have subjected dozens of women to unwanted sexual advances. mr wynn has described the claims, published by the wall streetjournal, as 1. meanwhile, donald trump has said he's not aware of any invitation to attend prince harry and meghan markle's wedding. in an itv interview, the us president said the pair looked "like a lovely couple", but when asked if had received an invite, he replied, "not that i know of". ms markle has previously called mr trump "divisive" and a "misogynist". paris remains on high alert, with water levels continuing to rise along the river seine. the country has seen some of the heaviest rain for a century, and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal. luxmy gopal reports. the swollen seine, still rising. more than four metres above its usual level, it's expected to peak at six metres by the end of the weekend. on the outskirts of paris, some residents have had to resort to travelling by boat through waterlogged streets. while in the city centre, the tourist boats are no longer operating, with only emergency services allowed along the seine. the past month has been the third—wettest here since records began in 1900. the impact of recent heavy rains is visible in the water levels lapping this statue of a crimean war soldier, known as the zouave — paris's traditional way of measuring the height of the river. the french authorities have been on high alert, and at a flood crisis meeting, the mayor of paris tried to reassure residents, saying the current situation isn't as bad as that of 18 months ago. translation: the flood is less significant in terms of the volume of rising water compared to that ofjune 2016, even if it remains substantial, because currently we are at 5.7 metres, and we should peak between 5.8 and six metres maximum. the flooding has already left hundreds of people without electricity and evacuated from their homes. forecasters predict drier weather for the week ahead, but with much of the ground in northern france waterlogged, the return to normal will be a slow process. luxmy gopal, bbc news. 16 and 17—year—olds in wales are to be given the right to vote in local elections under plans published by the welsh government. if approved, wales would follow scotland, where the voting age has already been lowered for national and local elections. the labour party has called for the idea to be extended to the whole of the uk. gavin thomas reports. after yea rs of struggle and campaigns by the suffrage movement, 1918 was the year in which the representation of the people act was passed in parliament. for the first time, voting was expanded to all men aged over 21, and to some women aged over 30. now, 100 years on, in wales the labour devolved government is planning to cut the voting age in local elections to 16. it follows the example of scotland, where a similar change came into force in 2016. there, it also applies to national elections. the local government minister in cardiff bay says the time is right. i think everyone who pays taxes should be able to vote, and that means people who are 17, and people who are 16 as well, so i would like to see us moving the franchise to enable younger people to take part in the democratic process. the minister says he wants voting to become more attractive and welcoming, and he's spoken of his concern that young people are becoming disengaged from politics. i think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote, because we would be voting for our future, but at the same time i don't think we get educated enough about politics. i think we are educated enough as 16—year—olds, because we use our social media, we see the parties... the advertisements they put out there. the welsh government will formally announce the proposals on tuesday. gavin thomas, bbc news. at least 1a people have been killed in a shooting at a nightclub in brazil. police say that gunmen, possibly involved in a drug trafficking gang, attacked

now on our main news this morning. police trying to establish how many people were in that car which hit and killed three teenagers in west london. jon donnison has been at the scene in hayes and given us been at the scene in hayes and given us this update. you can see the huge amount of floral tributes have been laid out over the last 2a hours or so, paying tribute to the three boys who died as they made their way to a friday night party at a local football club. now, the police have arrested one man, 28 years old. he has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. what they are actually saying, we understand, is it so much that it was numbers of the public who apprehended him. and there was some sort of altercation, possibly a fight, between friends of the three boys and this 28—year—old man at the petrol station just a few hundred jobs up the road from where i am 110w. jobs up the road from where i am now. but police also looking for a second man. they say they believe at least one other man or person was in that car, possibly more, and they are saying that that man fled the scene. they are appealing for anyone who might have any information who was driving along this pretty busy road on friday night to come forward and speak to police. jon donnison reporting from hayes. the husband of the murdered labour mpjo cox is amongst those launching a new group to campaign against terrorism. survivors against terror is made up of bereaved family members and survivors of attacks by organisations including the ira, far—right activists and islamist extremists. our reporter anisa kadri has more. three people who've lost their loved ones in terror attacks, all united in their resolve to root out the hatred and division that led to their loss. the labour mpjo cox was murdered a week before the eu referendum. her husband, brendan, is now one of the founding members of a group called survivors against terror. i don't think you ever move on. i think this is something that will have an impact on the rest of my life and the lives of all of us. but i think that what you do have some agency over, some choice over, is what you do with it. and i think all of us, the choice that we're making is to try and make sure that other families don't have the experience what we have. also in the group, the partner of david dixon, who was killed in a terror attack in brussels, where the couple lived with their young son. i think i really want to be part of something. i really hated the way that groups were using my partner's death to propagate hate. sir anthony berry was killed in the brighton bombing carried out by the ira in the 1980s. my bereavement comes from a long time ago. my father was killed in the brighton bomb “119811. and it was the ira that planted the bomb. so, that's a long time. they go into schools and they don't know who the ira are, it's such a long time ago. but i feel that my experience has relevance today. survivors against terror says it will campaign for effective policies to tackle terrorism, and work to ensure that victims and their families get the support that they deserve. parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned from accessing motorists' details and issuing fines. the government has confirmed it's to introduce legislation to try to improve standards among parking firms in england. ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules, poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process. around 200 campaigners have held a rally against proposals for a zip wire attraction in the lake district. the man bringing the proposal believes it will bring more tourism into the area. the battle goes on. i don't want to see those zip wires there. i do think this is the utterly wrong location. bang in the utterly wrong location. bang in the heart of a national park. these campaigners are determined to keep making their voices heard, as the la ke making their voices heard, as the lake district national park authority considers the application for eight zip wires across the armia reservoir. a petition against the plans were submitted with around 13,500 signatures. you can go rock climbing, gill scrambling, mountain biking, walking around the reservoir and other places in the lake district that have a sense of adventure and appreciation for landscape. i discovered this a few years ago, it is the most magical place. the thought of that being destroyed with this zip wire is just totally inappropriate. it was just destroyed with this zip wire is just totally inappropriate. it wasjust a really good day, we are glad we have done it, people are going to be very happy. we've got our message across. the application for the zip wires we re the application for the zip wires were submitted by tree top treks, which runs a similar attraction at windermere. a lot of people have got a sense that this will start the landscape somehow and really dramatically change it. our stance is, that's not the case at all. there's already people all of that landscape — paragliders, swimmers, cyclists, runners. the landscape is already very much used by man. this is another fantastic attraction that will attract a really wide range of people that will be the lake district lovers of the future. a decision on the planning application is expected on the 7th of march. a british man has become the first in the world to receive a new treatment for brain cancer. surgery on brain tumours is notoriously difficult, but scientists have found that injecting patients with a particular type of virus can drastically boost their immune system. the idea is being trialled by scientists in leeds, as corinne wheatley reports. ian bailey's life changed dramatically last summer. it started with headaches, then he began to lose his balance and fall. he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. just a week later, he was undergoing surgery to remove it. as well as receiving radiotherapy and chemotherapy, he's also the first person on a trial that uses a virus to treat the disease. it really gave me a massive lift, in what's a very difficult situation to try and deal with, but i was really, really pleased at being offered the opportunity to get involved in this trial. so, how does it work? well, a brain tumour has the effect of turning off the immune system. the virus is injected into the bloodstream. it attacks the tumour cells, and effectively switches the body's own defences back on. how are you? nice to meet you again. it is called reovirus, and it's hoped it could make traditional treatments more effective when used together. ian's neurosurgeon thinks that could be a really positive step. there's a limit to what we can do surgically. and then the rest of the treatment depends upon the radiotherapy and the chemotherapy. so this new trial is definitely a bonus, because if that's what we can do, so probably we could limit our surgery and concentrate more on the treatment, which is non—surgical. the oncologists leading the trial say if it works, it could open up other options too. we have to think hard about what the next step should be, whether we should add in other immune stimulating—type treatments into the mix, whether there are other ways that we could use this virus in other contexts, particularly in patients who've previously had radiotherapy and chemotherapy in whom the tumour has grown back. there's lots more work to do, but for ian, it offers both hope and the energy to enjoy the time he has away from treatment. doing the things that i enjoy, living each day at a time, and that's what it's taught me i have to do — make the best of every day as it comes along. corinne wheatley, bbc news, leeds. musicians are to sing the praises of one of britain's most famous paddle steamers tonight in a bid to get it sailing again. the maid of the loch hasn't sailed for more than 35 years, and has been moored at loch lomond for more than two decades. campaigners hope a special concert tonight will help raise the final £1 million needed to get her moving again, as pauline mclean reports. # sail away # across the water #. she hasn't sailed for more than 30 years, but it seems the maid the maid of the loch still inspires musicians. eddie reader and phil cunningham are among those who will take part in the special concert at celtic connections. and since they announced it, organisers have been inundated with material. people have been getting in contact with me, sending me songs that have been written, poetry. and one of the songs that we're doing was written byjohn douglas, which eddie's singing, and it's just absolutely beautiful. but the concert is about more than celebrating the maid. enthusiasts have raised enough to restore her at balloch peer. but they're now ready for the last big push. we've done the ship up to such an extent now that when people come on board, some of them are asking, when do we actually sail?! and it's a real disappointment to say to them, well, we need a new boiler and we need all these other things before we can do that. but we're really confident now that if a small charity can raise £4.5 million, which is over 80%, then we'll get there. and that's where the musicians come in. the concert‘s part of a campaign to raise the final £1 million required by the summer. i hate seeing a musical instrument sitting on a wall. i like it to be in somebody‘s hands, being used for what it was built for. and the same with this. if successful, the maid could set sail as soon as the summer of 2019. and the musicians may well find themselves on board. that would be amazing venue. i for one would love to play on the boat, and i'm sure that i'm not the only one. loads of performers would love to play on this. pauline mclean, bbc news. there is a petition to reinstate walk on girls in professional darts. the corporation says they are
