begins tomorrow with high expectations in scotland as they face wales this weekend. good morning. it's friday 2nd february. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. theresa may has insisted she is delivering what the british people want on brexit, amid pressure to set out where she stands on britain's future trade agreements. speaking at the end of a trade visit to china, the prime minister said britain would not face a choice between a free trade deal with the eu after brexit, and striking deals with the rest of the world. downing street says billions of pounds' worth of deals have been signed during the three—day visit. earlier, the prime minister spoke to our political editor laura kuenessberg and said her trip would help boost british trade prospects after brexit. it is important that we deliver what people want, which is control of our money, our borders and our laws. it's exactly what we are doing. what i am showing in china is how we can ensure that we actually enhance our trade with the rest of the world as well. why do we want to do that? it is good for people in britain, it's good forjobs in britain. prime minister, can you stay on? because people are asking you again and again to be clearer about your priorities. how long can you stay on, do you believe? well, let's be very clear about this — i've set out what my vision is. i have set out and i have said to people that at every stage where we can fill in the detail, we will do so, and that is exactly... but how long can you stay on? the idea that we have to have — that we are about to complete the negotiation with the european union on ourfuture relationship is wrong. we are just at the beginning of the process of negotiating with the european union. so we will be out there ensuring that the deal we get delivers on what the british people want. that's what this is about. and i know that what the british people want as well is good jobs for themselves and their children, and that is why it is important for me to be here in china where businesses have been signing deals, selling more uk products, great uk products, into china, ensuring there are more jobs for people in the uk. do you want to be the tory leader at the next general election? well, i have been asked this on a number of occasions. i've said very clearly throughout my political career i have served my country and i have served my party. i am not a quitter. i am in this because there is a job to be done here, and that's delivering the british people and doing that in a way that ensures the future prosperity of our country. global britain, global britain is a real vision for the united kingdom. i want the british people to see a government that is delivering for them around the world, and that is exactly what we are doing. our viewers see day after day the tory party fighting amongst themselves. how do you reassert your authority? i am doing with the british people want, which is delivering on brexit but also getting out around the world ensuring that we bring jobs back to britain. companies will be selling more great british products to china as a result of this trip. there will be more people injobs in the uk as a result of this trip. that's global britain in action. prime minister, thank you very much. thank you. meanwhile the brexit minister steve baker has apologised to mps for remarks in the comments. yesterday i a nswered remarks in the comments. yesterday i answered a question based on my honest recollection of a conversation. as i explained yesterday, i considered what i understood to be the suggestion being put to me to be implausible. the audio of that competition is now available and i am glad the record stands corrected. in the context of that audio, i accept that i should have corrected or dismissed the premise of my honourable friend's question. i have apologised to mr charles grant is an honest and trustworthy man. as i put on record many times, i have been highest regard for our hard—working civil servants. i am gratefulfor this opportunity to correct the record andi opportunity to correct the record and i apologise to the house. some breaking news just some breaking newsjust coming into us some breaking newsjust coming into us about the former fee for president who has indicated he is going to challenge his ban from football. he is currently serving a six—year ban which was upheld in december 2016, but he has tweeted today, "new facts have appeared, it is time to question the decision of the fever ethics committee my suspension of six years." the former president who was banned alongside him lostan president who was banned alongside him lost an appeal at the swiss supreme court in july him lost an appeal at the swiss supreme court injuly of last year. that news just coming in from our sports news correspondent. some 377 staff will be made redundant as a result of the collapse of carillion, according to the official receiver, but 919 jobs have been safeguarded. carillion ran into trouble after losing money on big contracts and running up huge debts of around £1.5 billion. those who have lost theirjobs will be entitled to make a claim for statutory redundancy payments. the number of men dying in the uk from prostate cancer has overtaken the number of women killed by breast cancer for the first time. the charity, prostate cancer uk, says advances in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have paid off, and similar benefits could be seen if more money was allocated to the fight against prostate cancer. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. prostate cancer does not discriminate. last year, keen runner tony callier discovered he had the disease while training for an ultramarathon. his diagnosis was late, and he knows cancer will eventually take his life, so tony is using the time he has left to warn other men about the dangers. i think it's really important that people are aware of what the symptoms are and i would actually urge men to talk to their doctors, if they have any urinary issues at all. my issue is that i didn't actually have any symptoms and they think i'd had the cancer for ten years beforehand. more men are living to an age where they have a greater chance of developing prostate cancer. so, in 2015, more than 11,800 men died of the disease, compared with just over 11,400 deaths in 2015 due to breast cancer. and while the proportion of people dying from prostate cancer, the mortality rate, has fallen in the past decade, down by 6%, the decline in deaths from breast cancer has been even greater, at more than 10%. it is time to get behind this and to realise that we need to get on top of it now because it willjust become more common, and it is actually going to kill more men, if we are not able to do that. tony has joined those calling for increased funding for research and the development of a reliable prostate screening programme, so the gains seen in the fight against breast cancer can be matched in the fight against the disease that he knows will eventually claim his life, too. joining me now is phil kissi, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006 and has now recovered, and heather blake from prostate cancer uk. very good to have you both with me. i will begin by asking you if i can, heather, is it useful to compare the fatality rates from breast cancer to those with prostate cancer?m fatality rates from breast cancer to those with prostate cancer? it tells us those with prostate cancer? it tells us something very important, the numbers of men and women diagnosed with these diseases are comparable and yet we can see the number of deaths from breast cancer is coming down and that has been happening for a few years now, where's the number of deaths from prostate cancer is continuing to rise. prostate cancer receives have the funding and research that breast cancer receives, is the conclusion of that, ideological conclusion, is that if more money goes into prostate cancer, similar results could be achieved? absolutely. we are very impressed with what has been achieved with breast cancer and there are diagnosis advantages. breast cancer had a screening programme as a result of research into what is the right thing to do, also better treatment and more accurate and targeted treatments. those are things that we are investigating as a charity and those are the things that will make a big difference with prostate cancer in the future. phil, tell it your story, how did you come to be diagnosed? i was very lucky, story, how did you come to be diagnosed? iwas very lucky, iwas watching a television programme at home. the topic was about prostate cancer and it was just an amazing programme, because they showed somebody that went in early, got tested and somebody that went in late. and what the outcome was. i thought, "wow, what is this prostate all about?" thought, "wow, what is this prostate all about? " the first thought, "wow, what is this prostate all about?" the first thing i did was get tested with my doctor. my doctor did a blood test. later on, the blood test, my doctor felt the need for me to be referred to the hospital, the guys in london, i went there and had a biopsy. they found out i had a aggressive cancer. i thought, "this cannot be, because i am fit, strong and doing things, there are no symptoms." it is interesting you had no symptoms. what saved me was the awareness on city hospital. " that what saved me was the awareness on city hospital." that saved me and i felt the need to be tested. city hospital." that saved me and i felt the need to be testedm city hospital." that saved me and i felt the need to be tested. it was sheer chance. had there been more awareness that the time, that chance would have been increased. when i did go, it was acted on straightaway. i had an operation, i was back in work funnily enough within three weeks. incredible. i said to myself, "it's important for men to be aware of this disease." and you are fit and well now?|j men to be aware of this disease." and you are fit and well now? i am, but what i want to do is make sure that men are aware that all men go to the marketing men campaign and sign up for it, raise investments and funds for research across the whole of great britain which is happening in manchester, london, bristol, glasgow. this is what we need, we need more investment for a research as was said earlier. to get the conversation going. it was interesting that all said he had no symptoms and symptoms are not always apparent, our day? ifanyone symptoms and symptoms are not always apparent, our day? if anyone is watching this and wondering whether they should get either any particular groups of men he should look into this as a matter of urgency? yes, that is one of the big issues, often at an early stage there is no symptoms. many were higher risk should be taking particular action to go and talk to their gp. men over 50, particular action to go and talk to their gp. men over50, men particular action to go and talk to their gp. men over 50, men with a family history of the disease, and particularly black men, because there is a one in four chance for black men are being diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to a one in eight chance for men in general. prostate cancer compared to a one in eight chance for men in generatm you had more money, what actions would you like to see? for example a nationwide screening programme. that is where we want to get to with the research investment programme we want. we are already investing so that we can get to a screening programme. more interesting is needed for us to get there and have an accurate test that can be used for screening. you said you would like to get community pharmacists talking to people coming in, it is about getting conversation going, isn't it? it absolutely is. it is great to see all the competitions happening today, but that needs to go on. —— conversations. lots of action is now happening, but it needs to be more, men taking an interest in their health and families as well. as phil said, come andjoin is any families as well. as phil said, come and join is any march row men and be pa rt and join is any march row men and be part of it. i know you have seized this second chance and you were awarded an mbe for your services in the community getting people off the streets and indeed the community, see you have really gone on and give them something back, but do you feel that as you chat to men, they find it easy to have a conversation about theissue it easy to have a conversation about the issue of having prostate cancer and getting checked or our attitudes changing? attitudes are changing to that from my experience talking to men, because they feel responsible. they know that if they go for it this simple test, it will possibly save their life if they are tested positive, and i always say to them, the stats are clear, 11,500 men are dying every year. the stats are very clear. before it was one every hour, now it is every 45 minutes. we have 330,000 people who are living with prostate cancer and managing it. it's very clear, we need investment. it's very clear, we need investment. it's very clear, we need research. it's very clear, we need research. it is very clear, we need to do more awareness programmes uk wide and keep banging on the door. phil, you area keep banging on the door. phil, you are a great ambassador for the cause. it prostate cancer survivor and heather from prostate cause. it prostate cancer survivor and heatherfrom prostate cancer research. another line of

actress was found dead after going missing from a yacht off the coast of california. 0ur los angeles correspondentjames cook has more details. natalie wood is an 0scar—nominated with three 0scar nominations when she died suddenly. natalie wood was a hollywood superstar with three 0scar nominations when she died suddenly in 1981 at the age ofjust 43. her body was found floating in the water off the coast of california near the yacht on which she'd been sailing with her husband robert wagner, co—star christopher walken and the boat's captain. initially, the death was ruled an accident, but the inquiry was reopened in 2011. police now say that two new witnesses have corroborated accounts of a fight between mr wagner and ms wood on the night she disappeared. detectives say it appears she was the victim of an assault and they believe her husband was the last person to see her alive. i think it is suspicious enough to make us think that something happened. i don't think she got into the water herself. i don't think she fell into the water. police say robert wagner has refused to speak to them since the case was reopened. they've not declared the death a murder and no charges have been filed against the actor. he is now 87—years—old and has not commented on the latest developments. a 33—year—old woman has been arrested in derby, on suspicion of arson in connection with a huge fire at nottingham railway station last month. at its peak ten fire crews were called to tackle the blaze, which caused extensive damage to the station. two army helicopters have crashed in southern france, killing at least five people. emergency services are still at the scene of the accident, which happened in the var region, around 30 miles north—west of saint tropez. both helicopters belonged

feet" when it comes to protecting children online. the charity says ministers have failed to implement half of the recommendations made in a report, which was commissioned a decade ago. mps say they are planning a voluntary code as part of the "internet safety strategy." a voluntary code as part sarah campbell reports. a voluntary code as part this is the online generation. a voluntary code as part over the past decade the internet and its use has expanded rapidly. instagram, snapchat and whatsapp didn't even exist in 2008. back then, professor tanya byron was asked by the then prime minister to look into children's safety online. ten years on, the nspcc says less than half of the recommendations have been put into place. the uk councilfor child internet safety was established. video games now have to have an age rating, but the charity says there's been no improvement to parental controls for games consoles and no code of practice is yet in place for the online industry. the government has really dragged theirfeet in implementing recommendations from what was a landmark report ten years ago by professor byron that was supposed to be a comprehensive package to keep children safe. those measures haven't been acted on and it is clearly essential that now we do see the government take steps, in particular introducing a code of practice and an independent regulator to make social networks keep children safe. the government says it does intend to introduce a voluntary code of practice for social media networks and it says changes to the law will also be considered to compel companies to reduce the risks their science pose to children. and we'll be speaking about this with the nspcc trustee and psychologist professor tanya byron at 11:30. apple has reported a drop in smartphone sales in the last quarter, despite launching a new model. but the high price of the iphone 10 meant the firm still made a £14 billion profit in that time. our technology correspondent correspondent, rory cellanjones is here. a drop in actual sales, so perhaps for some people the price point of the iphone ten was just too high. for some people the price point of the iphone ten wasjust too highm is it generating an extraordinary amount of money, don't forget the wealthiest company in the world. what happened, back in the autumn, they released two phones, the iphone eight and they released two phones, the iphone eightand a they released two phones, the iphone eight and a larger variant of it in september, and then a couple of months later, the iphone ten, which was extraordinarily expensive, £1000, $1000, and that tested people. there was a fall overall in sales in the last quarter compared with the previous year, so a new record was not broken there and that gives pause for thought, but apple will be looking at the average price they are now selling their phones for which is extraordinarily high. most industries as they mature, the prices come down and they have to struggle with lower margins, but apple is pooling of the extraordinary trick of continuing to make more money from every phone. smartphone sales dropped in the last quarter, is that concerning? global figures came out of this morning showing quite a big drop worldwide in smartphone shipment, so down more than 6%. overall, the whole industry is down quite sharply, which indicates that may be the smartphone revolution as peking. within those figures, apple overtook samsun. apple will be thinking, "we have made an awful lot of money out of this and we are going to continue, it may be slowing down a bit, but we are on track to words that track towards perhaps being the first trillion dollar company. " towards perhaps being the first trillion dollar company." thank you very much. a senior united nations official is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in northern syria, as pro—government forces step up their military offensive in the rebel—held province of idlib. panos moumtzis, who runs the un's humanitarian aid programme in the country, told the bbc at least a quarter of a million people had now been displaced in idlib province — as richard galpin reports. this is idlib province, and the aftermath of yet more air strikes by pro—government forces. for the rescue teams, known as the white helmets, these are frantic times, searching for civilians trapped under the rubble. in the face of this intensified government offensive, thousands have been fleeing their homes. we are extremely worried about the situation on the ground. we have seen about a quarter of a million additionally knew the displaced people, who have fled their homes, heading towards the turkish border. this is a catastrophe for the people in idlib. and this an example of what that catastrophe looks like. the squalid, makeshift camp here just one of many to have sprung up in idlib since the offensive again. the official camps already full. there are no facilities here, and it can be bitterly cold. translation: we have no house, nothing. we even struggle to get food and do not eat properly. we carefully spa re each drop of water we have. are other countries powerless against this? don't they see all this? government troops, backed by syria, and, it is believed, russian, war planes, had been advancing into this area for several weeks now, targeting, they say, jihadists and other rebels. a decisive victory here in this last province under rebel control would mean the civil war would almost be over. but civilians are paying a heavy price. at least 11 people killed in an air strike here in this vegetable market, earlier this week. an eyewitness told us syrian or russian war planes then targeted the hospital, where the injured were being taken. translation: the bombing killed three medics and injured six others. the hospital's facilities at collapsed and the water supply is down. it is the only hospital in the area. many people will be affected. so what next? will the syrian military only seize control of some strategic areas here, or try to take the whole province? richard galpin, bbc news. scientists studying the decline in the survival rates of polar bears have observed them expending more energy than they can consume as they hunt. the researchers found that the bears have a higher metabolic rate than previously thought and are unable to catch enough prey to meet their energy needs. victoria gill has more. a polar bear‘s view of the arctic. these remarkable images were captured by cameras inside tracking collars that scientists fitted to nine solitary female polar bears. in a study carried out over three seasons in the arctic, the researchers set out to understand whether the animals were getting enough to eat during the critical spring thaw. satellite studies have shown that arctic sea ice is decreasing at a rate of about 14% per decade. and the bears need that ice to hunt and eat their main and most calorie rich prey, seals. so as well as fitting them with gps tracking, camera containing collars, the researchers injected the bears with a metabolic tracer. this revealed that wild bears have a higher metabolic rate than previously thought. and that most of them were unable to catch enough food to meet their energy needs. the scientists say that this new technology, following their every move and their every meal, reveals just how these predators' survival will be affected as their icy environment transforms around them. prince harry

coming under increasing pressure to set out where she stands on britain's future trade agreements. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg asked the prime minister if she would continue leading the conservative party into the next election said very clearly throughout my political career, i've served my country and i've my party. i am not a quitter. i'm in this because there isa a quitter. i'm in this because there is a job to be done here and that's delivering for the british people and doing that in a way that ensures the future prosperity of our children dunn country. global britain is a real vision for the uk. i want the british people to see a government that is delivering for them around the world and that's exactly what we're doing. i'm joined from westminster by our political correspondent eleanor garnier. good morning. as the prime minister returns to the uk, what will she be facing? it's clear that she can't please everyone. i think she'll be wanting to come back and talk about her big trip to china, the fact she took the biggest delegation of businesspeople with her, that she's come back with billions of pounds of business deals signed, and talking about, as we heard, a global britain. that phrase if you like trying to portray the uk as a strong and confident country as it leaves the european union. the problem for theresa may is that she doesn't come back to a confident party behind her. yes, there are questions about the continuing splits and infighting in the cabinets, but there are also concerns being raised about her own leadership. those has centred on the direction that she might be taking the uk in in those brexit negotiations, with some leave supporting conservatives worrying that the clean break from the eu they so desperately want might not be as clear cut as they had hoped. there are also questions for theresa may about her domestic agenda and we are hearing mps urging her to be more bold, have bigger policies, more bold, have bigger policies, more radical policies, when it comes to things like housing and the nhs. those are the pressures that theresa may will be coming back to and it's how she deals with those and how much more of this speculation continues once she gets back to the uk. i think, continues once she gets back to the uk. ithink, although continues once she gets back to the uk. i think, although we have seen theresa may in this position before and she has survived rumours and speculation about her leadership, what is different this time is that it is those brexiteers who are starting to feel wobbly. they are concerned about the direction she is taking the brexit negotiations in. but we have normally heard them being incredibly supportive of theresa may. i think that's why this bout of speculation about her leadership feels different, but i should add to that, downing street believes this speculation will die down once the brexit negotiations get going again and more progress is made on them. but there are some conservative mps pointing to the local elections coming up in may, saying if the conservatives do badly in those elections, that might become a pinch point for theresa may and her continued role in downing street. thank you very much. i reminded that the government's brexit secretary david davis has been tweeting to say he will be meeting the eu's lead on brexit, michel barnier, in london on monday. he says it's the importance next step in our work to build new partnership between uk and eu. children are spending more time online than ever before, but according to the nspcc, the government still hasn't implemented half of the recommendations for safeguarding them that were made a decade ago. the government says it is working with industry, schools and parents to make sure there are robust protections in place, but the charity is calling for a code of practice to protect young people. we spoke to one family about how they stay safe online. 0nline safety is a concern. i think it isa 0nline safety is a concern. i think it is a concern for parents, yes. if you put something on it disappears ina minute, you put something on it disappears in a minute, is that right? yes. you put it on your story and that takes a day to go. yes. we make sure we know the passcodes to get on the devices and make sure we look through and look what each other are doing. make sure they haven't got any applications on there that they shouldn't have. there are certain apps that the parental controls on ourwi—fi apps that the parental controls on our wi—fi block automatically. apps that the parental controls on our wi—fi block automaticallylj our wi—fi block automatically.” feel safe using social media because i have a private account so no stranger can look what i'm doing. and i know the rules, like not to share passwords, where i live, my school. i've a private account so no one can... they have to follow the person and the person has to follow them. is there a given? in terms of a voluntary code, i think it would be better if we were do but something more permanent in the law. you can't actually do enough for children's safety and for everyone's safety. so those things would be good. i understand why companies may not wish to have that, but i do think it would be good if we did. the nspcc trustee and psychologist professor tanya byronjoins me now from our westminster studio. thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us this morning. just to be clear, it was gordon brown when he was prime minister who commissioned you to produce this report ten years ago. what parts of it have been implemented, what parts haven't? well, the uk councilfor child internet safety was set up after my review and that's been meeting and some really important conversations, innovative work and research has come through the uk council. the digital economy act, we're looking at online regulation for commercial pornography. there are aspect of the curriculum, relationships and six education. things have been done. some of what i recommended now is out of date. but the big issue and the concern i have currently in terms of the internet safety strategy that's been developed by government is that it's recommending a voluntary code of conduct for social media companies around child safety and child protection. the problem is that i recommended this ten years ago and it hasn't been done. so my view is it's too little too late. ten years on we got more platforms, more kids online, more kids using technology. we know there's a lot of grooming going on out there. we saw it last year when the anti—grooming law came in and were 1300 reported offences in the six months of the law coming in. it's too late for a voluntary code now. it wasn't written in a ten year so we need a mandatory code. we need a regulator with powers to fine if safety standards aren't upheld by the companies. why do you think it's taken so long, in the words of the nspcc, the government is dragging its speed? i think there has been good will, there have been conversations. the uk council the child internet safety does meet, there are many steak holders, police, education, the third 60 charities —— third sector charities. i think regulation on online space isa i think regulation on online space is a contentious issue. it longer gets debated back and forth. i'd like to just put into the mix that within the last four years, we've seen within the last four years, we've seen deaths of children who were groomed online. then there was contact abuse and murder. we can continue to debate the relative merits and issues surrounding regulation, but actually, as we would expect in the off—line world when it comes to child safety, these regulations have to be in place. the technology exists. algorithms and box can target advertising, so they would be able to find grooming patterns, spikes in grooming behaviour. moderators could be alerted and the police could be alerted and the police could be alerted if necessary. children could be warned, support could be sent to them. these things can be done. it's been done elsewhere will stop in germany, with extremist content, the government will fine companies if it's not taken down straightaway. this is possible, but we can't wait for volu nta ry this is possible, but we can't wait for voluntary codes now. we have to set out our stall, say what has to happen, and it has to happen because we're talking about children's lives, well—being and child protection. 0k. thank you very much for talking us through that. a tweet from donald trump. this is about a memo. you may have heard this story over the last few days. he has been claiming, and republicans have been claiming, and republicans have been claiming, that the fbi has been biased against him in its investigation into alleged interference by russians in the presidential election. this latest tweet from him, as you can see... he's talking about the leadership of the fbi and a lot of people i saying, a lot of commentators are saying, a lot of commentators are saying, donald trump is trying to basically affect the outcome of the investigation into alleged collusion between the russians and his campaign by suggesting that the fbi are biased against him. but this is the latest tweet from the president, just ten minutes ago. health leaders have written to thejustice secretary urging him to reform the payout system for negligence claims against the nhs. they say the nhs would have to pay up to £65 billion if all current claims were successful. the government says it is looking at measures to control costs in such cases. health experts are calling on the government to fully fund ivf treatment to help cut the number of multiple pregnancies, that are riskierfor mothers and babies. the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists says the health and financial burden these pregnancies pose on the nhs can't be overstated. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first, the headlines on bbc newsroom live: theresa may has been trying to brush off criticism of her leadership, and her handling of the brexit negotiations. prostate cancer charities say a a big investment is needed, to reverse a trend which has seen the number of deaths from the disease overtake breast cancer. france is to deploy extra riot police in the port of calais following clashes between migrants. also coming up in a moment, making statues of inspirational women. three suffragettes are about to be immortalised. hello there. an update of the business news this hour. three of the world's biggest tech companies released earnings today with some eye—watering numbers. for the last quarter of 2017, apple came out top reporting a record £14 billion in profits, driven by strong growth injapan and europe despite selling fewer iphones compared with the year before. google's parent company alphabet saw lower than expected profits after higher costs offset a big jump in advertising sales. and online retailer amazon saw sales jump by nearly a third last year, helped by growth in its prime delivery service. growth in britain's construction sector slowed last month as new orders dried up. according to a closely watched survey, activity fell to 50.2 injanuary from 52.2 in december — lower than analyst expectations. any figure above 50 indicates expansion. construction comprises around 6% of british economic output. 0fficialfigures published last week showed the sector contracted in the fourth quarter of 2017 when it had its worst performance in more than five years. the uk's energy regulator 0fgem is to look into whether 0vo energy has given inaccurate information to its customers over how much energy they used during the winter of 2016—17. incorrect consumption figures could lead to customers getting inaccurate bills. 0vo energy was founded in 2009, and currently has about 800,000 customers. theresa may is coming under increasing pressure to set out where she stands on britain's future trade agreements. speaking at the end of a trade visit to china, the pm said britain would not face a choice between a free trade deal with the eu after brexit and striking deals with the rest of the world. during her three—day visit to china, downing street said more than £9 billion of business deals would be signed. it comes as she has faced criticism from eurosceptic tory mps that she is heading for a "brexit in name only". joining us now isjinny yan, chief china economist, at icbc standard bank. how would you assess the success of the prime minister's recent visit to china? in my opinion, of course the media focus has very much been on a government level. my view is that from a business level, particularly for industries that travelled along with her, i think it has been very much a success. all of these deals that you talked about have been seen as an important step for many business leaders. both from the uk site and also the chinese side. there are many sectors whereby both the uk and china have mutual areas of interest. which sort of areas in particular are you referring to? not just the financial sector. we know that has always been a focus, particularly as we saw the currency, the internationalisation, the city of london has played an important role. but also in financial technology, also cultural, creative industries. these are the sort of growth momentum areas that both the uk and china will have very much an interest in going forwards. is it fairto interest in going forwards. is it fair to say, as many have been suggesting over the course of this visit, that uk has really been behind the curve when it comes to trying to strike deals, particularly trade deals, with china?” trying to strike deals, particularly trade deals, with china? i think what people want to see is some concrete actions and deals. i think we've seen very much a high—level talk and really, discussions are long where a strategic alliance should be. really, in terms of concrete deals, we haven't seen that much. this time, during mrs may's visit, i think we have seen such deals and i think going forward is a very critical juncture for deals and i think going forward is a very criticaljuncture for both the uk and china, as the uk embarks on brexit and as china transitions towards a consumption led economy, it's particularly important for these concrete steps to be made. 0k. thank you very much. let's ta ke let's take a look at the markets. the fourth day of straight losses for the ftse100 after results from bt and astrazeneca were met with disappointment, rounding off a lacklustre week for british blue chips. it means the ftse100 is on track for its worst week in nearly six months. bt group was the biggest faller, its shares down more than 5% at a five—year low after the telecoms firm reported third quarter earnings — analysts citing a lack of growth and concerns around its pension scheme. 0n frankfurt's dax, europe's biggest investment bank deutsche bank has reported a loss of almost $1.7bn in the last three months of last year. the bank says it was heavily affected by donald trump's us tax reforms and actually made a pre—tax profit of more than $1.6bn for the year as a whole. it's been trying to restructure itself after years of losses. meanwhile sterling slipped on friday, hit by weak data from britain's construction sector, but is nevertheless on track for its seventh straight week of gains against the dollar — the pounds best run since 2012. that's all the business news. there's more on the website. thank you. in the uk, for every two statues of women who represent significant moments in history, there are five for men. this may be about to change, starting with three inspirational women who spearheaded the suffragette movement. jayne mccubbin has been finding out more. soon to be immortalised, three women who fought for all women to rise up and claim their vote. perhaps the most famous among them, emmeline pankhurst. i wanted emmeline as the courageous, dignified, determined activist. emmeline's fight began right here in manchester. this very room. here, the suffragette movement was born and here, in december, emmeline will return. suffragettes were on the streets, ringing bells, summoning people out of their homes. somebody grabs a kitchen chair as a makeshift rostrum and the 5—foot emmeline climbs atop. "enough is enough", you know, "time for deeds, not words". this was the message which inspired women up and down the country — ordinary women like alice hawkins in leicester, a mother of six who worked in a shoe factory. that's what drove alice forward — she wanted equal pay and the vote was the route to getting that. everybody that went on a hunger strike got one of these? from 1909. absolutely right. five times, their great—grandmother was jailed. they still have her hunger strike medal, her prison badge, the sash she wore on every protest. but never before spending days baking in the kitchen, making sure her family would be fed if she were arrested. if they were going to protest, where was a chance to be arrested — not only arrested but imprisoned — and so, they anticipated that by making sure the home could manage without them. that's amazing, isn't it? yeah, well, that's what she did. aren't women great, eh? they are! aren't women flipping great? yeah, yeah. so practical! alice knew her duty to women and family, and on sunday, leicester will pay their respects as her statue is finally unveiled. she was one of many women who risked everything to fight for the right to shape what happened here, but 100 years on, women are still under—represented, not just in parliament but in parliament square. all the statues here are of men. where are the women? and i couldn't believe it. a campaign by caroline will finally pay off next year when a statue will honour millicent fawcett, the woman who set up the national union of women suffrage societies. it's been 100 years on the sixth of february since the first women won the right to vote, and it is shocking, really, but it's taken 100 years for us to get a statue of one of the women who fought so hard for that right here in parliament square and i'm delighted that millicent fawcett is going to bejoining the ranks of these august men and i hope she's the first of many. this is what they fought for. millicent died a few days after the vote was extended to all women. emmaline never lived to see the day. alice lived to vote in eight general elections. hopefully, through seeing the statue in the centre of leicester, it will encourage young people to hopefully exercise their right to vote. i really do feel that. an incredible legacy which lives on. we're going to take you to pennsylvania, where spectators have gathered for groundhog day. if you don't know what that is already, according to legend, if groundhog, phil emerges from the burrow and sees his shadow, six more weeks of winter will shadow. if he doesn't see his shadow, there could be an early spring, which i think americans would be pleased about because we've had record—breaking freezing temperatures. everyone is waiting on phil to make up his mind. staying with animals... a wallaby has had a lucky escape, after the crew of an australian ferry rescued it from sydney harbour. the distressed wallaby was spotted swimming in the water near the suburb of manly, after it was apparently chased out of the bush by a dog. ferry workers threw a rope around the marsupial and slowly hauled it out of the water. the headlines are coming up in a moment. in a moment we'll say goodbye to viewers on bbc two, but first a look at the weather. all my american colleagues are getting very excited about the groundhog. i could stand outside and do that if we have that in the uk! in the uk, he would have seen his shadow because we've got lots of sunshine across the uk. some lovely scenes from our weather watchers at the moment in 0swestry. some blue skies here. as you can see, for much of the uk, we'll enjoy the sunshine this afternoon. 0ne of the uk, we'll enjoy the sunshine this afternoon. one or two showers affecting eastern parts of england. a few showers down towards west wales and the south—west of england, but by 6pm, it will seem quite chilly across scotland. you can see year of frost developing quite quickly as we go through the evening. frosty across northern england. northern ireland, that cloud will start to increase this afternoon. still a few showers around lincolnshire, to east anglia and the south—east of england. a few showers also in pembrokeshire and the south—west perhaps still the odd shower here. for many, dry into the evening. as we go through the night, things will gradually change. this area of rain is moving its way in from the west. as it meets the colder air, we will see rain, sleet and a bit of snow falling. saturday morning, the risk of ice across scotla nd morning, the risk of ice across scotland and parts of northern england as the snow starts to fall. saturday, quite a conjugated mixture of rain, sleet and snow across these northern areas. wet snow downslope levels, perhaps. it'll stay cloudy and wept at times across western areas. across eastern areas, a bit of uncertainty about how much rain we'll see there. the chance of some of the rain moving in. brighter skies coming in to northern ireland later but it'll feel quite cold. this is the weather front responsible for that area of rain, sleet and snow. it will weaken into sunday but it will stick around, meaning it's still quite cloudy. it'll pick up an easterly wind which could bring in a few wintry showers towards the south—east of england. brightest guys towards scotland, northern ireland, perhaps wales and the south—west later on. those temperatures at four to seven or 8 degrees. we keep the easterly wind through into monday. in the meantime, more cold air coming in from the west. a bit of a clash, meaning it will stay cold into next week. an increasing risk of some snow as we go into next week. 0vernight frost. well worth staying jude to the forecast over the next few days. goodbye. this is bbc news. these are the top stories developing at midday: theresa may tries to brush aside criticism of her leadership, and her approach to the brexit negotiations. i'm not a quitter. i am in this because there is a job to be done here and that is delivering for the british people, and doing that in a way that ensures the future prosperity of our country. calls for better prostate

take on cardiff this weekend. good morning. it's friday 2nd february. i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to bbc newsroom live. theresa may has insisted she is delivering what the british people want on brexit, amid pressure to set out where she stands on britain's future trade agreements. speaking at the end of a trade visit to china, the prime minister said britain would not face a choice between a free trade deal with the eu after brexit, and striking deals with the rest of the world. downing street says billions of pounds' worth of deals have been signed during the three—day visit. earlier, the prime minister spoke to our political editor laura kuenessberg and said her trip would help boost british trade prospects after brexit. it is important that we deliver what people want, which is control of our money, our borders and our laws. it's exactly what we are doing. what i am showing in china is how we can ensure that we actually enhance our trade with the rest of the world as well. why do we want to do that? it is good for people in britain, it's good forjobs in britain. prime minister, can you stay on? because people are asking you again and again to be clearer about your priorities. how long can you stay on, do you believe? well, let's be very clear about this — i've set out what my vision is. i have set out and i have said to people that at every stage where we can fill in the detail, we will do so, and that is exactly... but how long can you stay on? the idea that we have to have — that we are about to complete the negotiation with the european union on ourfuture relationship is wrong. we are just at the beginning of the process of negotiating with the european union. so we will be out there ensuring that the deal we get delivers on what the british people want. that's what this is about. and i know that what the british people want as well is good jobs for themselves and their children, and that is why it is important for me to be here in china where businesses have been signing deals, selling more uk products, great uk products, into china, ensuring there are more jobs for people in the uk. do you want to be the tory leader at the next general election? well, i have been asked this on a number of occasions. i've said very clearly throughout my political career i have served my country and i have served my party. i am not a quitter. i am in this because there is a job to be done here, and that's delivering the british people and doing that in a way that ensures the future prosperity of our country. global britain, global britain is a real vision for the united kingdom. i want the british people to see a government that is delivering for them around the world, and that is exactly what we are doing. 0ur viewers see day after day the tory party fighting amongst themselves. how do you reassert your authority? i am doing with the british people want, which is delivering on brexit but also getting out around the world ensuring that we bring jobs back to britain. companies will be selling more great british products to china as a result of this trip. there will be more people injobs in the uk as a result of this trip. that's global britain in action. prime minister, thank you very much. thank you. i'm joined from our westminster studio by our political correspondent eleanor garnier. theresa may wants to come back and push what she has been talking about about trade and investment, but there are a lot of other things on there are a lot of other things on the agenda. she will come back to the agenda. she will come back to the uk undera the agenda. she will come back to the uk under a significant amount of pressure. she does want to talk about the billions of pounds of business gales signed whilst she has beenin business gales signed whilst she has been in china, emphasising that she took the biggest delegation of people from the uk. we heard that phrase global britain in action. she wa nts to phrase global britain in action. she wants to betray a strong and confident uk as it leaves the european union, but the problem is that she doesn't have a strong and confident party behind her. —— she wa nts to confident party behind her. —— she wants to portray. the concerns being raised by some in her party about her own readership are the real issues that she faces. there have been concerns about brexit, about how she is leading the government's brexit negotiations in brussels, and thatis brexit negotiations in brussels, and that is the interesting thing about what's going on in terms of the speculation around her leadership. previously, we had those who supports leaving the eu being very supportive of her, keeping her in her position, but the wobbles we are now hearing from that ended the party i think is what is interesting about where we are. after philip hammond made that comment that the eu should only move very modestly apart from the uk after brexit was like a red rag to bills. there has been tension in the party since then and now we have people who would normally be very supportive coming across as wobbling about their support of her and their confidence in her reading the party going forward. it's not just in her reading the party going forward. it's notjust about brexit, it's about the domestic agenda. we have had a couple of mps is mining emphasising how the tories need to be talking about more than just brexit, they need bigger and bolder ideas when it comes to domestic policy like housing and the nhs. jeremy corbyn was also out and about this morning and he was asked about whether his own party needed bigger and bolder ideas when it comes to the eu. our proposals are pretty clear, actually. we want trade with the european union, protection of the european union, protection of the european union, protection of the european citizen rights within this country, including during the transition period, and retention of the regulations of the regulatory regime we have from the european union so that we develop our economy, which will invest for people in this country, but also make sure we have what is crucial to all others in every part of this country, trade with europe. how would you characterise the government's current position? we are pleased that theresa may is coming back so she has more time to negotiate with the tory party. we have had an apology from brexit minister steve bigger over a marquee made, tell us more. steve bigger has beenin made, tell us more. steve bigger has been in the commons apologising after saying that officials in the treasury have been deliberately trying to undermine the approach of the government to reading the eu. he said he had been told treasury officials were deliberately trying to influence policy in favour of staying in the european union. this is related to an event back at a tory conference where any eu policy expert called charles grant was said to have been the source of these claims and he came out yesterday after a recording of that conversation came out which seemed to support charles grant that actually he hadn't said that. after that, steve baker was forced to apologise first of all on social media, but then the came to the commons this morning to put that apology on record. yesterday i answered a question based on my honest recollection of a conversation. as i explained yesterday, i considered what i understood to be the suggestion being put to me to me as implausible because of the long standing and well—regarded impartiality of the civil service. the audio of that conversation is now available and i am glad the record stands corrected. in the context of that audio, i accept that i should have corrected or dismissed the premise of my honourable friend's question. i have apologised to mr charles grant, who is an honest and trustworthy man. as i have put on record many times, i have the highest regard for our hard—working civil servants. i am grateful for this early opportunity to correct the record, mr deputy speaker, and i apologise to the house. an apology being made. clearly theresa may is coming back to a busy time. she knows there are concerns about her leadership, but one thing iam hearing about her leadership, but one thing i am hearing from supportive mps of her hand to do want her to stay on in thejob is her hand to do want her to stay on in the job is the may local elections coming up, many believe here in westminster that might be a pinch point for theresa may and if the conservatives do not do well in those local elections, if they get a bad set of results, that could be a crisis time forgeries are made. thank you very much. —— crisis time for theresa may. some 377 staff will be made redundant as a result a 51—year—old man is to go on trial for the murders of two schoolgirls. he is accused of murdering two small girls in brighton. they went missing from their homes in the city and their bodies were found hidden in bushes the following day. our correspondence is at the old bailey for us. bring it up to date. it was in court 11 here at the old bailey. it is what is called a plea and preparation hearing, which didn't last very long. the defendant in paris, he appeared from a prison via a video link. he was wearing a striped top, wearing glasses, sitting forward in a cheer and listening very closely to proceedings going on. he was asked what his plea was in relation to those charges. he pleaded not guilty to both of the charges. as you mentioned their comedy is accused of murdering two brighton schoolgirls. the two girls went missing on the 9th of october in 1986. the next day after they disappeared, they were found in woods, both of them had been killed. the defendant has now been killed. the defendant has now been remanded in custody. the hearing didn't last long at all, but hearing didn't last long at all, but he has been told that he will face a full trial in this case for those two murders which he has pleaded not guilty to on the 15th of october here at the old bailey. thank you very much. the number of men dying in the uk from prostate cancer has overtaken the number of women killed by breast cancer for the first time. the charity, prostate cancer uk, says advances in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have paid off, and similar benefits could be seen if more money was allocated to the fight against prostate cancer. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. prostate cancer does not discriminate. last year, keen runner tony callier discovered he had the disease while training for an ultramarathon. his diagnosis was late, and he knows cancer will eventually take his life, so tony is using the time he has left to warn other men about the dangers. i think it's really important that people are aware of what the symptoms are and i would actually urge men to talk to their doctors, if they have any urinary issues at all. my issue is that i didn't actually have any symptoms and they think i'd had the cancer for ten years beforehand. more men are living to an age where they have a greater chance of developing prostate cancer. so, in 2015, more than 11,800 men died of the disease, compared with just over 11,400 deaths in 2015 due to breast cancer. and while the proportion of people dying from prostate cancer, the mortality rate, has fallen in the past decade, down by 6%, the decline in deaths from breast cancer has been even greater, at more than 10%. it is time to get behind this and to realise that we need to get on top of it now because it willjust become more common, and it is actually going to kill more men, if we are not able to do that. tony has joined those calling for increased funding for research and the development of a reliable prostate screening programme, so the gains seen in the fight against breast cancer can be matched in the fight against the disease that he knows will eventually claim his life, too. we arejust going we are just going to take you back to philadelphia where groundhog day is happening. we arejust to philadelphia where groundhog day is happening. we are just going to philadelphia where

researchers found that the bears have a higher metabolic rate than previously thought and are unable to catch enough prey to meet their energy needs. victoria gill has more. a polar bear‘s view of the arctic. these remarkable images were captured by cameras inside tracking collars that scientists fitted to nine solitary female polar bears. in a study carried out over three seasons in the arctic, the researchers set out to understand whether the animals were getting enough to eat during the critical spring thaw. satellite studies have shown that arctic sea ice is decreasing at a rate of about 14% per decade. and the bears need that ice to hunt and eat their main and most calorie rich prey, seals. so as well as fitting them with gps tracking, camera containing collars, the researchers injected the bears with a metabolic tracer. this revealed that wild bears have a higher metabolic rate than previously thought. and that most of them were unable to catch enough food to meet their

transforms around them. joining me now is douglas richardson the head of living collections at the head of living collections at the royal zoological society in scotland. good to have you with us and it is really amazing to see that did it with the polar bears, but it obviously reveals the threat, or tells us more about the threat, to their existence. you have been observing that that growing for a while, haven't you? this isjust the next or the most recent piece of data that verifies that the polar bears are in serious trouble and this just accents rates that. they are forced to move greater distances as they hunt, clearly this is the particular problem for a beer with cubs and trying to feed them and sustain the species. they are the ones who are going to feel at the worst, but it cost is a problem for every single individual polar bear, because as i every single individual polar bear, because as i am sure everyone every single individual polar bear, because as i am sure everyone is aware, the arctic is not a terribly rich food environment, so they have a lwa ys rich food environment, so they have always had to travel quite a distance between meals, and now it is even longer. by the environmental changes affecting the animals that they would catch and eat as well‘s? there has to be the ice platform for the bears to hunt seals from. if there isn't that, it will be affected. the arctic ocean is warming and that is affecting the food supply for the seals that the polar bears are reliant on, city hall fickle will be disrupted. had endangered our polar bears the wild? 0n the red list they are classed as vulnerable, which is one of the lowest levels of high threat. but for about half of the polar bear population, in the arctic, we still have no idea what the numbers are, so have no idea what the numbers are, so it's very likely that the population is rather lower than the generalfigure of 20,000 or so population is rather lower than the general figure of 20,000 or so that is usually banded about. the next question, then, douglas, is, what can be done to try to help them to try to reverse these threats to their environment? well, u nfortu nately, their environment? well, unfortunately, there is no quick fix. each and every one of us has a responsibility, and that is changing our lifestyle and living in a greenaway, burning less carbon, basically being kinder it to ourselves and the planet. —— greener way. the problem is, if we have hit a point of no return. even if we change our lifestyles this afternoon, it would still be worse for the polar bears before it gets better. thank you very much. you are welcome. town over the wire forecast. cold the theme of the weather of the next few days. a few share is for coastal areas. temperatures at a maximum of eight

breast cancer for the first time. the charity, prostate cancer uk, says advances in diagnosis the charity prostate cancer uk says advances in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer have paid off — and similar benefits could be seen if more money was allocated to the fight against prostate cancer. earlier i heard from phil kissi, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2006 and has now recovered, and heather blake from prostate cancer uk. i started by asking heather whether we should be comparing prostate and breast cancer figures. the numbers of men and women diagnosed with these diseases are comparable and yet we can see the number of deaths from breast cancer is coming down and that has been happening for a few years now, where's the number of deaths from prostate cancer is continuing to rise. prostate cancer currently receives half the funding and research that breast cancer receives, so the conclusion of that, logical conclusion, is that if more money goes into prostate cancer, similar results could be achieved? absolutely. we are very impressed with what has been achieved with breast cancer and there are diagnosis advantages. breast cancer had a screening programme as a result of research into what is the right thing to do, also better treatment and more accurate and targeted treatments. those are things that we are investing in as a charity and those are the things that will make a big difference with prostate cancer in the future. phil, tell us your story, how did you come to be diagnosed? i was very lucky, i was watching a television programme at home — city hospital. the topic was about prostate cancer and it was just an amazing programme, because they showed somebody that went in early, got tested, and somebody that went in late. and what the outcome was. i thought, "wow, what is this prostate all about? " the first thing i did was get tested with my doctor. my doctor did a blood test. later on, the blood test, my doctor felt the need for me to be referred to the hospital, the guys in london, i went there and had a biopsy. they found out i had a aggressive cancer. i thought, "this cannot be, because i am fit, strong and doing things, there are no symptoms." it is interesting you had no symptoms. what saved me was the awareness on city hospital. that saved me and i felt the need to be tested. it was sheer chance. yes, but had there been more awareness that the time, that chance would have been increased. when i did go, it was acted on straightaway. i had an operation, i was back in work funnily enough within three weeks. incredible. i said to myself, "it's important for men to be aware of this disease." and you are fit and well now? i am, but what i want to do is make sure that men are aware that all men go to the campaign and sign up for it, raise investments and funds for research across the whole of great britain which is happening in manchester, london, bristol, glasgow. half the world's population leave primary school unable to read or write. over 260 million children and youths aren't at school. the head of unicef says the world is at a crucial point in the fight to ensure all children get an education. the global partnership for education is hoping to change that by raising billions of dollars and improving data collection in developing countries. 0ur chief international correspondent, lyse doucet is at the global partnership for education conference in senegal. she asked unicef‘s executive director henrietta fore if she's worried about meeting funding targets. i think all of us are worried. we need about $1 billion per year going into education. that's just for unicef. and i believe that worldwide that number is much higher. it is why there is a call, that we would hope that national government would put 20% of their budgets into education. it would give us an enormous boost in the world if we could do that. do you think it will happen here? the beginning, could this be a turning point? it could be if people really take this to heart. i believe having president emmanuel macron, it's a very important time. with so many heads of state gathered, it is a time when they can share their ideas. we have a new education programme that is by radio. there are many ways to bring education into the nations and countries. as a result, there are new ways to fund education. do you think it's because there is now a rude awakening about uneducated children getting into radicalisation, deepening the migration crisis, affecting the world's powers, including major donors? are they finally realising it's about self—interest, to? absolutely. and because there are so many conflicts and they are intensifying, it means that many of the donors have become a bit fatigued. it's hard to keep up with the world of violence. but they are also urged to those issues, that terrorism does breed a very violent and turbulence of society and education brings stability to communities. it lets people build toward a future and as a result it becomes one of the major tools that the country can use to build itself. would you sense among the donors... i know you've just started recently in this position... that, eight, they realise the importance of the task, but they are also tougher. these governments here have to do a lot of the work themselves, including funding it themselves? absolutely. everybody has to play their role. everyone wants to see value for their money, whether it is a tax payer in a country or whether it's a national government or whether it's a humanitarian agency ora whether it's a humanitarian agency or a bilateral donor. it is important that you actually get what you're asking for. so the fact that so you're asking for. so the fact that so many children leave school without a quality education means that sometimes we get them into school, they're sitting in a seat but not learning something that is useful in society. and one of the areas were focusing on now in unicef is to try to think about that second decade of life. are we teaching life skills that will be useful for them inside and outside the classroom? how are we preparing them to be the citizens of the future? with so many children on the move, so many refugee camps, so children on the move, so many refugee camps, so many internally displaced, it means that it's hard for them to have a sense of community, of routes, and agricultural life. of a livelihood that will bring them through their lifetimes. the executive director of unicef. health leaders have written to thejustice secretary urging him to reform the payout system for negligence claims against the nhs. they say the nhs would have to pay up to £65 billion if all current claims were successful. the government says it is looking at measures to control costs in such cases. it looks increasingly likely that president trump is going to release a controversial memo accusing the fbi and justice department of bias against him. based on classified material, it was written by republican members of the house intelligence committee. the fbi has issued a public statement saying it has grave concerns about factual omissions, which fundamentally impact on the accuracy of the document. the democrats claim it's an attempt to distract from the russia investigation. rajini vaidya nathan reports. as he left the state of the union, the president was asked to release a memo... ..a memo which has been the talk of washington political circles for weeks. but what's in it, and why does a matter? and why does it matter? well, it's related to the ongoing investigation into the trump campaign's ties to russia. the four—page classified document written by republicans is said to allege anti—donald trump bias in the fbi, specifically in the way one of donald trump's former campaign advisors, carter page, was placed under surveillance. they argue that permission to wiretap him was based on unsubstantiated intelligence, which was partly funded by the democrats. they're crying foul play and party politics. so, too, are democrats, who say donald trump and his supporters are trying to discredit the work of the intelligence agencies. and there's concern from that community. there is a sag on morale. they're troubled by what they're hearing reported. and they know that some of what is being reported, what's being stated and alleged is just flat—out untrue. by agreeing to release the memo, the president has drawn the battle lines that in his administration and the country's intelligence agencies. that is the tweet from donald trump, written a short while ago. very much going for the leadership of the fbi and the justice department. the headlines on bbc newsroom live: theresa may has been trying to brush off criticism of her leadership, and her handling of the brexit negotiations. prostate cancer charities say a a big investment is needed to reverse a trend which has seen the number of deaths from the disease overtake breast cancer. and france is to deploy extra riot police in the port of calais following clashes between migrants. a senior united nations official is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in northern syria, as pro—government forces step up their military offensive in the rebel—held province of idlib. panos moumtzis, who runs the un's humanitarian aid programme in the country, told the bbc at least a quarter of a million people had now been displaced in idlib province — as richard galpin reports. this is idlib province, and the aftermath of yet more air strikes by pro—government forces. for the rescue teams, known as the white helmets, these are frantic times, searching for civilians trapped under the rubble. in the face of this intensified government offensive, thousands have been fleeing their homes. we are extremely worried about the situation on the ground. we have seen about a quarter of a million additionally newly displaced people, who have fled their homes, heading towards the turkish border. this is a catastrophe for the people in idlib. and this an example of what that catastrophe looks like. the squalid, makeshift camp here just one of many to have sprung up in idlib since the offensive again. since the offensive began. the official camps already full. there are no facilities here, and it can be bitterly cold. translation: we have no house, nothing. we even struggle to get food and do not eat properly. we carefully spare each drop of water we have. are other countries powerless against this? don't they see all this? government troops, backed by syria, and, it is believed, russian, war planes, had been advancing into this area for several weeks now, targeting, they say, jihadists and other rebels. many who have retreated here from other areas. a decisive victory here in this last province under rebel control would mean the civil war would almost be over. but civilians are paying a heavy price. at least 11 people killed in an air strike here in this vegetable market, earlier this week. an eyewitness told us syrian or russian war planes then targeted the hospital, where the injured were being taken. translation: the bombing killed three medics and injured six others. the hospital's facilities at collapsed and the have collapsed and the water supply is down. it is the only hospital in the area. many people will be affected. so what next? will the syrian military only seize control of some strategic areas here, or try to take the whole province? richard galpin, bbc news. apple has reported a drop in smartphone sales in the last quarter, despite launching a new model. but the high price of the iphone x meant the firm still made a £14 billion profit in that time. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones says apple investors won't be too worried by these latest profit results. the iphone, probably the single most profitable product in any kind in history. what happened, back in the autumn, they released two phones, the iphone 8 and a larger variant of it in september, and then a couple of months later, the iphone x, which was extraordinarily expensive — £1000, $1000, and that tested people. there was a small fall overall in sales in the last quarter compared with the previous year, so a new record was not broken there and that gives pause for thought, but apple will be looking at the average price they are now selling their phones for which is extraordinarily high. most industries, as they mature, the prices come down and they have to struggle with lower margins, but apple is pooling off the extraordinary trick of continuing to make more money from every phone. smartphone sales dropped in the last quarter, is that concerning? global figures came out this morning showing quite a big drop worldwide in smartphone shipment, so down more than 6%. overall, the whole industry is down quite sharply, which indicates that maybe the smartphone revolution as peking. ——which indicates that maybe the smartphone revolution is peaking. within those figures, apple overtook samsun. apple overtook samsung. apple will be thinking, "we have made an awful lot of money out of this and we are going to continue, it may be slowing down a bit, but we are on track to words that track towards perhaps being the first trillion dollar company." everyone is rather focused everyone is ratherfocused on everyone is rather focused on that at the moment. some breaking news. the man who carried out a far right terror attack by driving a van into a crowd of muslim worship that is outside a mosque in north london hasjust been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 43 years. we can go to woolwich crown court. daniel, tell us more. the judge in this trial decided to pass life terms, not just for the conviction trial decided to pass life terms, notjust for the conviction of murder, but also for the conviction of attempted murder. darren 0sborne has received two life terms. she said she had considered a whole life tariff, so the minimum term could have been that he would never be released from prison in any circumstances, but she said on consideration she would set a minimum term of 43 years in prison. darren 0sborne won't even be considered for release for 43 years, and he's 48 years old now. he will be 91 at the first opportunity that he would have been released. in her sentencing, she remarked, summed up to the case and started by talking about darren 0sborne's defence —— defence. he identified a man called dave who had been driving. she said you have been convicted on overwhelming evidence by a jury use of your pathetic last—ditch attempt to deceive them. she also talked about the man who was murdered during the attack and said that he'd lived without enemies until, unknowingly, he met you. she also talked quite a bit about darren 0sborne's radicalisation. she said, you were rapidly radicalised over the internet. you allowed your mind to be poisoned. you ignored the good sense of people around you who tried to get you to change your ways and in the end you went on to kill. she made it quite clear in her sentencing remarks that this was a terrorist attack because it was a murder done for the purposes of advancing a religious and racial or political calls. darren 0sborne, the man who did the finsbury park attacked has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 43 years behind bars. ok. daniel, thank you for that update. though be more on that in the news at one in a moment. first, a look at the weather. cold is a theme of

and cities. rula, a touch cold. we starts with the temerretg—egittetbs gesths riff-m for front to a of ge wind, - of ge wind, the of ge wind, the cloud will celsius. in the wind, the cloud will not warm at all. that not particularly warm at all. that ta kes not particularly warm at all. that takes us into sunday and the weather front still sitting across the country, edging its way back westwards. it will start to fizzle out. not much rain on it by this point but we have a north—easterly breeze across england and wales. that's a very cold direction for the wind. a cold day to come on sunday and with that, the potential disease is no showers. a lot of dry weather around. lighter winds in the north. temperatures at a maximum of seven celsius. as we move into monday, another cold start to the day with a touch of frost. winds tending to ease but we could see a few snow showers in the south—east to begin with. showers tending to fizzle out, a lot of bright and bright weather in

what she's seeking in brexit negotiations with the eu. but she's insisting she will deliver the deal that the british people want. what british people voted for is for us to take back control of our money, our borders and our laws and that's exactly what we are going to do. we'll have the latest from westminster. also this lunchtime. darren 0sborne is sentenced to life in prison for the terrorist attack outside finsbury park mosque in london last year. for the first time, the number of men dying from prostate cancer has overtaken the number of women killed by breast cancer. i think it's really

wagner is now a person
