To the sundance movie festival an independent film extravaganza which this year featured films by and about women. Thats in half an hour here on bbc news. Good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. Police have released cctv images of a man wanted in connection with a car crash which killed three teenage boys in west london on friday night. Police say that despite the image being poor quality anyone who knows the man would recognise him and urge them to come forward with any information. In a statement the metropolitan police said. Three young men have lost their lives as a result of this incident; such tragic circumstances must far outweigh any taboo around assisting police. Investigators believe there were at least two men in a black audi that hit the Three Friends near a bus stop in hayes. One man is under arrest. The victims have been named locally as harry rice, George Wilkinson and josh kennedy. Our correspondent leigh milner has been at the scene for us. Clearly the main line of enquiry for police at the moment is trying to find the man shown in the cctv image. Do they have any leads, do we know, at this stage . Not as yet. The search still continues as we have just said, the police have released grainy cctv image of a suspect they would like to question. That was ca ptu red would like to question. That was captured just by the bus stop where the three boys died and the metropolitan Serious Collision Investigation unit say while the images were not of the quality they are convinced both knowing the man on the image will recognise him. 828 year old man is detained by the police under suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Just to reca ptu re. Death by dangerous driving. Just to recapture. At 20 to nine we had three young boys aged between 16 and 17 years old known locally asjosh kennedy, George Wilkinson and harry rice. Behind me, you cannot see that just behind me candles are now being lit by many people who have come here this afternoon to pay tribute to the three boys, who are in an accident which is a tragedy. They we re accident which is a tragedy. They were standing by the bus stop when a black audi mounted the pavement and hit them at full speed. I have been having a look at some of the tributes of one simply says, i imagine this is from the mother of one of the young boys. My darling baby boy, my heart is broken. I have also spoken to the grandfather of George Wilkinson, another boy who was killed that night he told me how the family are so devastated. Lam all i am all right till i think about it. I was not going to stop here but i had to in the end. It told me to. How do you feel now you have come here . Upset but i am pleased. He will be sorely missed. He will be. By the family, the whole family. 0bviously obviously a huge outpouring from the community for the bereaved families. Also you have been telling us a lot of angerfrom also you have been telling us a lot of anger from the local community as well. Certainly a lot of anger. I have been speaking to a lot of local residents who have come to pay tribute. What they have been telling me is this was an accident waiting to happen. 0ne local resident told me she often drives up and down the busy main road. The speed limit goes from 50 to 60 miles an hour. In her words she has said she had a few near misses. I have also spoken to a taxi driver who says speeding is a regular occurrence around here. What seems to be the message from residents is something needs to be done urgently to prevent this happening again. And keep very much for that. Thank you very much. The Prime Minister has come under pressure from leave campaigners in her own party to take a hard line with europe over any transition arrangements after britain leaves the eu. Brexit negotiators are preparing to set out the ground rules for how negotiations over a transition period will progress. This report by our political correspondent, susana mendonca, contains flash photography. If it felt a bit chilly for the Prime Minister in davos this week, the forecast isnt looking any warmer now shes back home. Europesceptic backbenchers unhappy with theresa mays direction of travel on brexit have been piling on the pressure for days and they arent letting up. I think this is troubling on a number of counts. First of all, the Prime Minister said implementation which meant we would have left and would then be implementing the consequences of having leaving. Currently, theres no clear destination either in the governments mind or, indeed, agreed with the European Union and no set time limit. 0ne friend of mine said it looked more like a plank than a bridge. Number ten says its committed to delivering brexit and one of mrs mays allies has come to her defence. The conservative family, left, right and centre, were a broad church, needs to come together in a spirit of mutual respect. There are difference in any broad church, and look at what the Bigger Picture is showing. The labour leader is facing his own divisions in a party that predominately voted to remain in the eu. Today, Jeremy Corbyn may have placated some by telling the Andrew Marr Show that labour would want to be part of a kind of Customs Union after brexit. But those hoping for a second referendum might not be so happy with this. What weve asked for and demanded in parliament has been a meaningful vote in parliament at the end of it, so mps can. Im on about the people deciding, not parliament. And what happened with this bill was, it was an undemocratic power grab by the government. Were not asking for a second referendum. And youre not going to . The american president , who met mrs may in davos this week, has offered his own words of wisdom on brexit, that hed have been tougher than she has been. I think i would have negotiated it differently. I would have had a different attitude. What would you have done . I think i would have said the European Union is not cracked up to what its supposed to be and i would have taken a tougher stand in getting out. The balls back in the eus court this week. The other 27 Member States will prepare to set out their own position on the transition period after brexit. Susana mendonca, bbc news. The russian Opposition Leader, alexei navalny, has been detained by police in moscow. 0ne Monitoring Group has said another 185 people have been detained in support of him in a number of russian cities. He was arrested as he attended a demonstration supporting a boycott of the president ial election in march, which he claims will be rigged. This was what he had to say to his own online news channel before he was arrested. Translation im the head of the Anti Corruption fund and i was a president ial candidate, but first and foremost, im a citizen, who wants to have normal election and who is not prepared to take, any longer, all this nonsense thats been going on for the past 18 years. And to extend this nonsense for another six years. 0ur correspondent, steve rosenberg, has been at the demonstration in pushkin square in central moscow. He is russias most prominent opposition voice, Opposition Leader. Hes also the most vocal critic of president putin, and he has been barred from running in the president ial election which takes place in march. The reason . A suspended prison sentence which he says, and his supporters say, is politically motivated. Now we were standing right next to mr navalny earlier this afternoon when he was detained. It was quite dramatic. He was walking up the main street in moscow, towards pushkin square, then a group of Russian Police moved him, grabbed him, bundled him into a police van, and he was driven away. So quite dramatic, and when his supporters on pushkin square heard he had been detained, they were shouting freedom to navalny, down with the kremlin and putin is a thief. The russian authorities maintain this was an unsanctioned protest, that the navalny supporters didnt have the right to be on pushkin square. Now they maintain they dont need to get special permission to come out and express their opinion and denounce the president ial election. The kremlin maintains this election in march is free and fair, and that voters will have a choice of candidates to vote for, but i think it is important to say, in the system of power which Vladimir Putin has constructed over the last decade and a half or so, its often referred to as managed democracy. Here we have a managed election. It is Vladimir Putin who dominates air time on russian tv. He is the face you see most of. And only those candidates who dont pose a risk to Vladimir Putins power have been allowed to take part in this election. More than 100 people are now confirmed dead and 230 injured in yesterdays bomb attack in the afghan capital, kabul. Its the worst attack there for several months. Our correspondent, secunder kermani, is in kabul. The authorities have been working throughout the night and into the morning, to clear up the scene of the explosion. Theyre 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, and was apparently questioned, he blew himself up. Its 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. Theyve 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 2,000 civilians lost their lives in the first nine months of last year alone. Ingvar kamprad, the founder of the Swedish Furniture giant, ikea, has died. He was 91. He started the company when he was just 17. The firm said hed passed away peacefully at his home in southern sweden. Heres our business corespondent, joe lynam. Ingvar kamprad can safely be described as a retailing genius. Born in 1926 in southern sweden, he started selling matches aged five. Then seeds and then pencils. At 17, he formed ikea named after his own initials and the area where he was born. Now, its probably the best known Furniture Store in the world with over 400 giant shops and annual sales of 112 billion. Mr kamprad was inspired to create the idea of flat packed furniture when watching someone remove the legs off a table to fit it into a customers car. Ikea grew exponentially in the 1980s based on the simple but untested idea that customers would buy well designed furniture and assemble it in their own homes. One famous designer tipped his hat today at what Ingvar Kamprad had achieved. He actually tapped into the taste that every ordinary person wanted. So they could get this new wave of modernity that was coming about in the 1950s, and he managed to trap it and make it available to everybody. Ikea said Ingvar Kamprad, who was involved with the business until recently, would be much missed by his family and warmly remembered by the companys employees worldwide. Joe lynam looking back at the life of Ingvar Kamprad, whos died at the age of 91. Earlier i can spoke to niki brantmark, a brit who moved to sweden and is the creator of interior website my scandinavian home. Ikea has become huge appreciation of scandinavian design. The whole design aspect of has really taken off in the last five years. I think before that everyone was really familiar with ikea. Everyone knows the store. It has set the foundation for it to move on. Everyone was familiar with the concept. When the new design is a new nordic is this came into play everyone was aware of the style and it is popular. In terms of a lesson for any would be entrepreneurs, Ingvar Kamprad, heres life story can teach a lot of lessons. Starting off as a very young child selling matches are moving on to simple christmas street decorations and so on. What lessons have you picked up from the way he has lived his life and built this huge retail giant . One of the key things about this entrepreneur is that he is actually very humble. Even though he has had this huge vision and everything and his business has been so successful, he has become a billionaire, he is also very not too much too little. He is humble, he is laid back. He is said to drive the sort of battered volvo. With his employees he is really accessible. Everyone who has worked with him get to meet him he mixes among people. That is really inspiring and why he is such a big icon in sweden. Let me ask you what is your favourite ikea icon in sweden. Let me ask you what is yourfavourite ikea product . Icon in sweden. Let me ask you what is your favourite ikea product . guess it has to be that billy book sheh guess it has to be that billy book shelf was to be that billy book sheh shelf was to be that billy book shelf full of it is so iconic. Everyone knows this book shelf by name and it blends into any home. Everyone loves a book, so it is perfect.

We will begin with tennis that there isa we will begin with tennis that there is a bit of football around as well. Roger federer continues to roll back the years. The swiss has now won an incredible 20 grand slam titles, 14 years after his First Australian open win. It was another gripping final in melbourne as he beat marin cilic in five sets. The warning signs were there for all to see, 20 grand slams the prize for the swiss. Hes already the most successful male singles player of all time. What an arena then in which to surpass another milestone. Never one to waste time, a fast start is something of a trademark for the 36 year old. The forehand looking as strong as it ever has done. Just 24 minutes into the match and a first set point, you neednt give Roger Federer a second chance, amid the heat somehow keeping cool. What is a final without a fightback . Cilic, a magician in his own right. After this tournament, he becomes the third highest ranked player in the world and has every shot in the book. So, spellbinding though is federers tennis, you can never truly cast him aside. How often over the years have we seen him hammering down an ace to regain the lead, even with the mighty thor watching in the crowd. By no means finished, cilic forced a fifth and final set, fighting spirit there for all to see. But this was to be federers day. The first man to win 20 grand slams and a sixth Australian Open title. Of course winning is just an absolute dream come true. The fairytale continues for us, for me. After the great year i had last year, its incredible.
