maybe you didn't get the help you needed when you were at school. what effect has this had? are you a school counsellor? do you have enough resources to do yourjob properly? do get in touch on this and all the stories we're talking about this morning. use the hashtag victoria live. and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today... two british extremists, believed to be members of one of the so—called islamic state group's most notorious cells, have been captured by syrian kurdish fighters in syria, according to us officials. they are accused of being part of a unit which executed 27 western hostages and tortured many more. andy moore reports. alexanda kotey and el shafee elsheikh — the two britons captured by kurdish forces last month and questioned by the americans. together with aine davis and mohammed emwazi, they formed the kidnap gang that became known as the beatles, because they were usually masked and their captors could hear only their british accents. alan henning was one of to dozen foreign hostages they held captive and then executed. last year, the american state department designated kotey and elsheikh as wanted terrorists who had fought for islamic state. kotey was born in paddington in london. he was of ghanaian and greek cypriot background. the citation said he used exceptionally cruel torture methods, including electronic shock and waterboarding. elsheikh‘s family had fled sudan in the 1990s. he became a british citizen. according to the state department, he'd earned a reputation for waterboarding, mock executions and crucifixions. the two men were captured by the american—backed syrian democratic forces, a kurdish—led militia. the fate of the two men is unknown. they could be sent to the us detention centre at guantanamo bay or they could stand trial in the states. the foreign office in the uk said it would not comment on individual cases or ongoing investigations. andy moore, bbc news. our middle east correspondent is in beirut for us now. martin, what we know about these two men?” beirut for us now. martin, what we know about these two men? i think this is hugely significant festival. the fact is they were high—level members of the so—called islamic state. according to reports they we re state. according to reports they were captured in eastern syria. that is the stomach state stronghold in eastern syria as well as iraq. they we re eastern syria as well as iraq. they were caught last month by the kurdish forces. —— islamic state. they were flagged up to the americans because they believed they we re americans because they believed they were foreigners. using biometric data and fingerprints, the americans said they identified these two men as the british meant that had been revealed to them. what do we know about so—called islamic state? the caliphate has collapsed but what state are they in? this is an organisation on the run. they have lost most of the territory, or all of the territory, the ones controlled in eastern syria or iraq. this group terrorised areas in the middle east as well as carrying out attacks in europe and america. the fa ct attacks in europe and america. the fact these two men have been ca ptu red fact these two men have been captured is significant and will provide comfort to the family of the hostages who were executed on this unit. there are some suggestions that these two men could, perhaps, according to one report, they could perhaps provide details as to where some of the captors were actually held. now to the bbc newsroom and the rest of the day post mac news. the senate failed to vote on a budget deal before midnight deadline after a republican senator demanded a last—minute amendment. for the temporary shutdown to end the deal must be passed in both the senate and the house of representatives and then signed by president. let's go to our cbs correspondent in new york. how long can the shutdown last? good morning from new york. that is a great question. there is a procedural vote going on right now in the house. nancy pelosi just spoke about waiting to make a procedural vote. the government is shutdown, even though a new budget deal made its way through the senate this morning. the bill is now in the house. at about 2am the senate approved a budget deal but not in time to avoid the second government shutdown this year. that deadline was midnight. late last night the republican senator repeatedly objected to calls for a vote before iam for the he did so to protest what he called runaway government spending. thank you very much indeed. there are just hours to go until the opening ceremony of the winter olympics in south korea. the sister of the north korean leader has become the first member of herfamily leader has become the first member of her family to visit the south since the korean war. for the second time in a week, us stock markets have fallen sharply, with the dowjones index falling more than 4 per cent. investors are selling off shares due to concerns central banks are going to raise interest rates soon. asian and australia markets also dropped overnight. researchers at edinburgh university have grown human eggs in a laboratory for the first time. the findings could lead to new ways of preserving women's fertility. here's our health and science correspondent, james gallagher. in laboratories in edinburgh, scientists have grown human eggs. they've taken immature eggs women are born with and transformed them so they are ready to be fertilised. it's taken decades of work to copy what happens inside women's ovaries. we never imagined that we would be getting these kind of results using human tissue. so it's a significant step, but, of course, the main objective for us is to improve and to determine the safety of these techniques, so that they could, in the future, go into some kind of application. it could be used to help young girls with cancer, as treatment can damage their fertility. so how might it work? a girl diagnosed with cancer would have a sample of her ovary frozen before cancer treatment. then later, as an adult, the tissue would be defrosted, an egg grown, fertilised, and then put in the womb. there may even be other applications in fertility treatment, but this technology is still at a very early stage and needs refining. none of the eggs have been fertilised, so it's still uncertain how viable they are. james gallagher, bbc news. there are calls for schools to receive more funding and counsellors after new research shows many schools are struggling to support pupils with mental health issues — because teachers don't know what type of help children need. figures show 50% of adult mental health problems start at the age 01:14 — and the charity place 2 be — which is behind the findings — says that early intervention is key. more on this coming up in the programme... there's a warning that some patients in england and wales being treated for hip fractures are having to wait up to 80 days to see a physiotherapist. the chartered society of physiotherapy says the average wait is 15 days, but there are unacceptable variations in care. hip fractures affect one in three women over the age of 50. trinity mirror has announced a £127 million deal to buy the express and star newspapers, as well as ok magazine. the company says the combined group will be able to save money by sharing content and reducing duplication. the chief executive said there will be changes. there will, over time, be job cuts because we are going to remove duplication, mainly in back office functions. we're bringing two very similar businesses together, and when you do that, inevitably there's a certain of duplication. this transaction doesn't affect our regional newspapers at all. we operate around 100 regional papers, manchester evening news through to the plymouth herald, and trinity mirror, as a group, makes over £120 million, and we're absolutely committed to continuing our investment in our great regional titles, both in print and digitally. rescue workers in taiwan are continuing to search for survivors in the eastern city of hualien after tuesday's 6.4 magnitude earthquake. the marshal hotel is still leaning precariously and some floors remain buried under ground as a result of the quake. the death toll has risen to ten, and rescue operations are at risk of continuing aftershocks. at least 60 people are still missing. the european premiere of marvel‘s newest super hero film, black panther, took place in london last night. it is the first film to focus on black characters from the comics and has also received praise for its portrayal of strong female characters. the actor, michael bjordan, said that the film was empowering for young black people. you know, my 10—year—old self didn't have many superheroes to kind of be able to identify with. so i think for the kids now to be able to dream and imagine and see themselves and see different possibilites in an empowering way, not your typical stereotypes that we're used to seeing in the cinema, i think it's extremely important for the future. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 9:30am. we're going to be talking about the lack panther uk premiere with a jan black actor and film producer. —— black. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. let's get some sport with hugh. it's officially the first day of this year's winter olympics — but already there's a real disappointment for one team gb athlete? yes, you'll remember we spoke yesterday about katie ormerod, a freestyle skier full she suffered a fractured wrist in training. but things got worse. she's out of the winter olympics following an accident meaning she had a broken heel accident meaning she had a broken heel. she said words cannot describe how gutted she is missing out. she was taken to solve macro overnight for surgery. —— seoul. was taken to solve macro overnight forsurgery. —— seoul. some was taken to solve macro overnight for surgery. —— seoul. some pretty extensive surgery. it clearly was not meant to be for the women from yorkshire and a big blow for team gb. she has had her fair number of injuries already. she is resilient and comes back better from injuries also be would not wish this on anyone in the team at this point for the bill be very sad for the rest of the bill be very sad for the rest of the team not to have her there. she isa very the team not to have her there. she is a very positive member of the team and that is a big loss. we wish her the best in recovery and that when she is fit and well she can look forward and focus on the future and coming back and fulfilling the great potential that she has. she was just 20 years old and hopefully she will be back. she will stay in hospitalfor she will be back. she will stay in hospital for another week or so. we wish her the very best. it reminds us wish her the very best. it reminds us how the dangerous these sports are. she's not the only athlete who has seen their hopes vanish at the last moment — what's the latest on russia? a few of their athletes are holding out hopes of competing in the winter olympics will stop the only light at the end of the tunnel was the ioc allowing those who could prove they we re allowing those who could prove they were clean following the state—sponsored doping a couple of yea rs state—sponsored doping a couple of years ago it led to a raft of appeals. athletes and coaches have been told appeals have failed. they will be 169 athletes competing in south korea as olympic athletes from russia. they include this figure skating pair. if they do win a medal, the olympic anthem will be played instead of the russian anthem. that is an indication of where the ioc still sits on the russian sporting involvement. and of course the opening day means one thing — the opening ceremony. we all become artistic directors and choreographies, offering up our expertise in what shots look best on who was in time with the music in all seriousness, ill be a fantastic moment for the athletes. lizzy yarnold, as we mentioned yesterday will be leading out team gb as the flag bearer. spoiler alert, the rehearsals have been taking place and it looks like once again it could be another massive production. lots to see those that they'll be plenty of fans to watch. as we told you, temperatures set to reach minus ten. not all the athletes will be attending that some of them preferring to stay warm. it looks like it will be another spectacular. if you do want to watch, 1030 will be the time. as we've been hearing, the 2018 winter olympics get underway in pyeongchang in south korea just a couple of hours. team gb is aiming for up to ten medals this year — following on from the four it won last time round. over the course of the olympics we will be following the british bobsleigh, bobsleigher mica micneill. here's her first video diary for us. techno music hi, i'm mica mcneill and i'm now part of team gb for bobsleigh, heading out to the winter olympic games, which is in pyeongchang. we're heading to seoul early, it's quite early. the opening ceremony‘s not until the 9th of feb, but we're getting out there early and getting over the jet lag, adapting to the time zone and the environment. it gives us a good chance to get in some really solid sessions in the gym and on the sprint track, before we head into the olympic village environment. yeah, we're so, so excited, and the season's gone really well. it's been so long, but we're ready now to get out there and stand on that start block for the olympic games. we've been everywhere. we've been in north america, canada and usa. we've had a couple of races in germany, switzerland and austria, so next is south korea, which is awesome. and, yeah, absolutely can't wait. morning! it's our first day here in seoul, this is mica, my brake lady, and we're just going for a little look around, a little adventure, stretching the legs and just trying to adapt here. this is day five now on our training camp here in seoul at the sport university, and we're just, we're getting there with jet lag. i've just come from the running track, done a great sprint session. i'm now, as you can see, at the olympic hall, which is where the korean weightlifters train, ready to do a good power session, and tomorrow we head into the olympic village, which i'm really excited for, which'll be amazing to see. mica mcneill and the rest of team gb will be getting ready right now for the opening ceremony beginning at 11am maritime. so let's speak now to two former olympic skiers, who've both competed in the winter olympics for team gb. graham bell is in pyeonchang. it isa it is a bit cold, i'm afraid to say. and chemmy alcott joins us from salford. we got a sense from mica mcneill what this is like but at this moment ahead of the opening ceremony, how is everyone feeling? there is a huge bundle of excitement and nerves but also they are all frothing, they are ready to perform, they've done thousands of hours of work and ready for those two minutes to show the world what they are made of an especially from britain, we are the underdogs in winter sport but also know that we are sending the most powerful and strongest team we ever have sent. there is that camaraderie about being united. we have talked so about being united. we have talked so much about the cold, the media gets excited about a thing and it seems to be the cold with this winter olympics. how much does it affect an athlete, we are talking about —10? affect an athlete, we are talking about -10? for the alpine skiers it was about —25 and they are going 80 mph so there is a huge wind—chill, the boys are covering every part of theirface the boys are covering every part of their face with tape and if you leave a ny their face with tape and if you leave any skin exposed you can get frostbite and it is dangerous. we have had experience racing in this, the torah goes to lake louise every year. the guys knew this would be an issue and hopefully they have adapted. that's why they have gone out earlier to see how their bodies react —— the tour goes to lake louise. the coldest temperature i've beenin louise. the coldest temperature i've been in is —14 in finland last year. my been in is —14 in finland last year. my word, it was freezing, i had massive snow boots on. how warm is the clothing, presumably which still has to be light while competing? the more clothes these athletes wear the slower they will be. skin to win is the fastest, wearing nothing under these lycra suits, that's why they will be stripping off at the last minute and they will have physios at the start gate to make sure their muscles are warm and ready to go because they have got to go from standing there to 100% in terms of intention and the high heart rate. it is tough but they will not sacrifice being warm for being fast so sacrifice being warm for being fast so they will still definitely worth less clothes underneath than they should. that is commitment of the sport. i'm pleased to say we have reconnected with graham benn in pyeongchang and i'm impressed you are standing outside to speak to us. —— graham bell. explain how cold it is and the challenges for people where you are now. the temperature itself isn't backel compared to racing in norway or canada. but the —— isn't back old. the difference is it is quite humid and there is a cold north wind blowing all the time meaning it is chilly all the time and there is a definite kind of, you know, wind—chill affect that bites as well. chemmy alcott talked about that and how it affects the athletes, because they have obviously got to have thin lycra layers on full speed, but how challenging is it to get warmed up, stay warm and compete at your best? the thing with skiing, particularly alpine skiing, is you are in tight race boots so the most important thing is you can feel your feet. a lot of the racers will go into a warming station before they race and warming station before they race and warm up their boots, so you're putting on warm boots. i know that the italian racer takes a hairdryer to the start with him because he will go on a course inspection and he will go and dry his liners in his boots with the hairdryer before his race. when he gets to the finish they will be boots off, over suit on and get themselves warmed up in the finish. chemmy alcott, the irony of talking about it being too cold, they might not be enough snow and there will be snow cannons. i was listening to an interview saying this could benefit the british athletes because it has better grip. is that true? it is cold and humid snow like graham said, packed down snow, not i seek like we are used to, meaning the track should stay sustained from the first to the last runner and it won't write as much and is good for athletes. dave ryding likes the ice but his event is at the end of the games. the one to watch out for as a nation is the americans, they ski on this cold, dry, hardpacked americans, they ski on this cold, dry, hard packed snow americans, they ski on this cold, dry, hardpacked snow a lot and it's very grippy. we call it hero snow gives you feel amazing but it means you can overturn, you can get to the finish and think you have had a great run and you are off the pace. it's important to still risk everything. graham, if you were competing in this winter olympics would you go to the opening ceremony tonight? absolutely not. in men's downhill you are doing a training run, or racing the day after the opening ceremony. i know that lindsey vonn is going to the opening ceremony and she has come out to the olympics a little bit earlier than she normally would have to because the women's downhill is later in the programme, because they only have one track for both men's and women's, so she's coming out and doing the opening ceremony. i went to five olympic games and didn't go to five olympic games and didn't go toa to five olympic games and didn't go to a single opening ceremony because the men's downhill is often the first event, so you don't want to be standing out in the cold for two or three hours the night before the race. chemmy alcott, i can see you nodding. i went to four olympics and in sochi i decided because of the situation with me being slightly injured before and i wanted to go to the opening ceremony to feel part of something bigger than myself and tea m something bigger than myself and team gb and i went and we have a training run cancelled the next day so we got to recover but like graham says, you don't want to stand around. we'd see the athletes from the moment they walk out into this amazing round epic opening ceremony but they are standing like sardines four hours beforehand. you've got a thing, psychologically, do i need to go to feel like i am in the olympics? to feel i have made it and feel i want to risk more because it's the biggest event? or do i think about physically i need a rest? it is a hard game to play. lindsey vonn is going because she knows this is her last olympics and she wants to enjoy every part of the bubble of this games. graham, i said in the introduction we are looking at potentially ten medals for team gb. is that realistic? unfortunately we have just lost one of our big medal hopes in katie ormerod, injured in training, and itjust goes to show that the winter olympics are not as easy to call as the summer olympics because they are generally high—risk sports. to call ten medals, that's quite a big call. i think that, yeah, looking at snow sports, skiing and snowboarding, it would be nice to get one or even two, but across the board, ten is a big ask. chemmy alcott, would you agree? it depends how the first few days go for team gb because if one of your team does well in that environment it can inspire you to push yourself but like graham said there is a thin line in snow sports between making that ultimate run, pushing yourself to the fine line and getting on the podium which they all need to do, and complete disaster and pushing it. we saw katie pushing it too far and getting an injury, which is horrendous for her. we do have huge talent, elise christie, double world champion, she had a brutal games four years ago andi had a brutal games four years ago and i hope she comes away as olympic medallist. lizzy yarnold hopes to become the first ever brit to back—up the gold she had four years ago. the curlers are strong, andrew musgrave, the one at the start of the games who could start that medal league rolling for us. i am an optimist and i believe we are sending the most powerful, talented tea m sending the most powerful, talented team we have ever had, and who knows? graham, do you think that the public gets engaged with the winter olympics in the same way that it does with the summer olympics?” definitely think so. if you look at the skiers and snowboarders in the uk, we have overi million people that will go skiing and snowboarding every year. if you look at our ski areas in scotland, we have five ski areas in scotland, we have five ski areas in scotland and lots of indoor snow centres. there is a lot of people that are engaged in winter sports. i think there is absolutely no reason why we won't have the same levels of participation in winter sports as we do in summer sports. to say that we're not a winter sports nation is absolutely wrong. we are a winter sports nation, we do have mountains and we do have snow sports taking place in the uk. so, yeah, i think that people do get engaged with the winter olympics. it is more exciting that the summer games anyway. great to speak to you, graham, put your hairdryer in your boots, or whatever it is. chemmy alcott, thank you also. bbc coverage of the winter olympics means this programme will not be on bbc two next week but you can find us on bbc two next week but you can find us on the bbc news channel. still to come, calls for more help for school children experiencing mental health problems, as one charity says half of mental illness in adults

cutting some posts. that is a summary of the latest bbc news. here's some sport now with hugh. bad news ahead of the start of the winter olympics for team gb, freestyle snowboard katie ormerod says she is gutted after being ruled out of the games. the 20—year—old has had surgery after breaking her heel in a training crash yesterday. she will miss the opening ceremony in pyeongchang coming up

speaking to you throughout the morning. we regularly hear on this programme that taking care of children's mental health is extremely important — but what is the right way to go about it? a new piece of research says many schools are struggling to support pupils because teachers don't know what type of help they need. figures show 50% of adult mental health problems start at the age of 1a — and the charity place two be — who is behind these new findings — argues this is proof that early intervention is key. it's calling for all primary and secondary schools to receive more funding and counsellors. let's speak to danielle forbes — her daughter received counselling at school when she was seven, sam barakat — who started experiencing depression and suicidal thoughts when she was 16, to nicola percy — headteacher of new north academy primary school in north london and dr patrick johnston, director of learning at place2be. thank you all for coming in to talk to us. sam first of all. you started experiencing your depression when you were 16 foot did you get any support from your school? i found it ha rd to support from your school? i found it hard to open up at school. the school was quite school but there was no mental health support i have been made aware of. i tried to find my own help outside of school, which was difficult. what was the perfect scenario for you? to have some within school available during school and after school and also a place to go to if you're feeling a bit low. in my school, when i was once feeling low in a lesson i was not allowed to be in the first stage win. i was told unless you are dying you are not allowed to be in there. i was you are not allowed to be in there. iwas ina you are not allowed to be in there. i was in a very low place mentally but it was not viewed as seriously as say a broken leg and causes a lot of problems. it is because it is invisible, isn't it? dani alves how did you and yourfamily invisible, isn't it? dani alves how did you and your family feel when it was suggested that your seven—year—old daughter should get some counselling and support? —— dani alves. i thought it was a good thing full she was not feeling good with herself. she said, mum, i'm not pretty, i am with herself. she said, mum, i'm not pretty, iam not with herself. she said, mum, i'm not pretty, i am not nice. with herself. she said, mum, i'm not pretty, iam not nice. no with herself. she said, mum, i'm not pretty, i am not nice. no one wants to be friends with me. it is hard when you're listening to your daughter saying stuff like that. really young. you want to say, no comic you are beautiful, you are amazing. this really helped us. it was someone amazing. this really helped us. it was someone who amazing. this really helped us. it was someone who was not amazing. this really helped us. it was someone who was not in charge of her, she could sit down and talk over her feelings and thought process. was it a case of the school reaching out for place2be? she was very upset and had written on her hands, head teacher did not like her. they said, actually we have place2be. i did not know much about it but i sat down with a lady who said, just sometimes you can spend talking to someone else. my husband was not for it at the time that we discussed it and said, this could be good for her, so let her go. i did not understand they have like a drop—in day service or you can just go in if you feel sad at any time. she had dropped in a few days like in the weeks previous which i did not know about and it worked for her. explain the importance of that support. some people may watch this and think, seven, that is really young. it is not a mental health issue, they are just feeling sad as a child. listening to sam as well, having the safe space got somewhere a child feels they can stop off and talk about whatever is on their minds. sometimes it is the playground difficulties. no doubt about that. sometimes more significant issues children might be facing. having a supportive environment where a child can speak to someone who is not always a member of staff from a teaching point of view, it allows them to come through and speak about those feelings. 60% of the mental health difficulties we see in adulthood start at the age of 15. you do this at your school. i am an advocate of the need to break the to boo about mental health. the royal family has really helped to put mental health on the map and at the forefront. what we were talking about is that mental health is not the diagnosed issues we hear about but a child who issues we hear about but a child who is not feeling happy. issues that affect learning. if schools are better equipped to pick up some of those needs, then it can only serve to be better in the future. have you seen a to be better in the future. have you seen a wider benefit across the school? absolutely. we have seen improvements in how childrenjust work and collaborate with each other. they are empathetic of each other. they are empathetic of each other and other. they are empathetic of each otherand can other. they are empathetic of each other and can talk about their feelings i recognise that they are beginning to feel a bit sad. they had strategies they can use to bring them back up again. we have seen benefits in results, we have seen benefits in results, we have seen benefits in results, we have seen benefits in children generally being happier about going to school and having someone else to talk to. happier about going to school and having someone else to talk tom has been fantastic. do you think there's still a stigma about mental health? prince harry has been talking about his own challenges. do you think that stigma is still there? it has improved over time but there? it has improved over time but there is still stigma. speaking from my own there is a lot of stigma about depression. depression is a clinical condition. there is also a stigma surrounding other medical health conditions forced you might be attention seeking all the selfishness of it. it is a stigma around that which is making people think that, rather than the condition itself. have you found it has made your daughter become more confident and be able to work through things herself? yes, it has she got the school for and they said they have seen a big change in higher. it was really nice for me and her dad to read. i noticed a change at home. her sessions lasted 11 months. they said no do you feel like you need to come back question she said, no, i don't need to come back anymore, i feel really good. it has helped with the way she has coped with her feelings for that winter starts to feel down or sad i see her come out of it quicker and not get as angry. -- when she starts. a lot of adults when they seek counselling say it does not work for them. they can give it to a counsellor and feel better. do children think in the same way? we have seen from what danielle said this morning, but sometimes children don't want to go home. burden is sometimes the word they use. their mums, theirdads, their sometimes the word they use. their mums, their dads, their carers. school is the place where lots of children will spend a large majority of theirtime. we children will spend a large majority of their time. we see children will spend a large majority of theirtime. we see in children will spend a large majority of their time. we see in schools, time and again, the difficulty these children may be facing. it is a really good place to think about the difficulties some of these children are facing in schools. particularly when you are six. it is difficult to articulate you have a problem. again, just having those professionals around who can help to pick that is really key. it is heartbreaking. powerlessness as a parent. when a small child says that to you, you just want to make it better that you do not know how. we have had this tweet. my daughter has suffered anxiety since the manchester bombing. the child and adolescent mental health services refuse to see her and it has taken until now to get her help. schools are not coping with the problems they have at the moment. i do not think it is up to the school to put them through this. it is time for pa rents to step them through this. it is time for parents to step up and start being pa rents parents to step up and start being parents instead of passing the buck. do you want to respond? that is not quite fair. when you think about it, a parent has the best interests of a child at heart. i want to see my children have ghost you can do as much as you can home but sometimes it is just not enough. sometimes my child has said, don't worry, i am fine. i look in her eyes and you try to probe out of her but she does not wa nt to to probe out of her but she does not want to talk about it. she got really ha p py want to talk about it. she got really happy every week. i did not ask what conversations she had but sometimes she would say, it is such a lovely conversation. she would ask me how i am and how i feel like that. i saw a difference. some people watching this may say school budgets as we all know are incredibly tight in my local area some schools have stopped teaching ona some schools have stopped teaching on a friday in the afternoon. others have considered the same action. if it is at the expense of other things in the school, surely that is not right question in response to whoever is in touch there is a need for everybody to step up.” whoever is in touch there is a need for everybody to step up. i don't think that the aim should be set squarely on school parents or whoever. we need more funding in order to be able to support a child's help early on in schools. we are constantly balancing our budgets. my governors are absolutely committed to mental health. they will say, nicola, we want to to find x number of pounds we can have the service two days a week. that is my job to find that money. where do you find it? through the school budget. we have to balance what another person has said about the cams waiting list. the tension that has been put on families will come back to impact in the school environment. ido to impact in the school environment. i do think schools need to be proactive in trying to balance out and look at some of those foundations that will really make a difference if a child is to succeed academically. we need to remember that schools are under immense pressure. children's health is only one aspect. in day—to—day running of the school and teacher retention, we're not expecting teachers and head teachers to become mental health experts. that is why there is a need to have a mental health professional in school. funding will always be one of the constraints that we see and has been for a numberof that we see and has been for a number of years. from research we have done now, it is about understanding as well. sometimes head teachers are a little bit worried about what type of therapeutic approach i should put into school. they lack the confidence for that they should not be mental health experts. they need to think about who they can bring into schools. they need qualified people to deliver that service. let me read you these comments which are coming in. someone has tweeted in saying mental health services at schools are vital. when i was seven, my mum and dad got divorced after a few years of vicious arguments. it turned me into a weird kid and i got bullied. counselling happy to get through it. the quick question from brenda. my tenure granddaughter could do with this service. where canifind could do with this service. where can i find out more information? —— ten—year—old. can i find out more information? —— ten-year-old. there is great information online. place2be is about to launch a website later this term. i would about to launch a website later this term. iwould recommend having about to launch a website later this term. i would recommend having a look on there. it gives good advice about what to do. also get in touch with a school. sometimes they are really good. every local authority should have information about where to seek advice. a government spokesperson said: "to support schools, the government has pledged £1.7 billion to help improve children and young people's mental health and wellbeing. this includes improving the links between the nhs and schools, speeding up access to more intensive support and boosting capacity to ensure early intervention." thank you all for coming in today. last night was the uk premier of the new marvel film, black panther — one of the most anticipated comic adaptations of all time. it features an almost entirely black cast and had a black director, black producers and black writers. it's already being tipped to make 150 million dollars on its opening weekend after gathering a whole host of good reviews. here's a clip of what's in store. i have seen gods fly. i have seen men build weapons i could not imagine. i have seen aliens drop from the sky but i have never seen anything like this. how much more are you hiding? let's go. we are home. my son, it is your time. # show me my respect and bow down. you get to decide what kind of king you are going to be. don't freeze. i never freeze. # the revolution will not be televised. # show me my respect and bow down. # we own you. we're only getting started now because we own you. # we own you. i've waited my entire life for this. the world's going to start over. i'm going to burn it all! what happens now determines what happens to the rest of the world. # you will not be able to stay home, brother. to plug in, turn on and tap out. # the revolution will not be televised. let's have some fun. # the revolution will be live. let's talk to nicole vassell — entertainment and features editor at pride magazine who went to the premiere last night, also we are joined by sabel adomakah young — a british actor who also went to the premiere, samira musa — is a british film producer. and a comic book scholar and author of the encyclopaedia of black comics, sheena howard.. this film has been so widely anticipated. yes and you could tell at the premiere how much people have been looking forward to this come across everyone but especially for, you know, black viewers and people like from african and caribbean descent, people dressed in traditional clothing, people came out and it was such an event and it was a pleasure to be there. you are nodding away and you we re there. you are nodding away and you were there as well. it was amazing to see, with the run—up to the release of the film, you could see on twitter people planning what they would work to the cinema to see the film, let alone to the premiere, and people really came through, people looked like royalty. did it live up to the hype? absolutely. i was kind of nervous watching it because when you've waited for something so long and wanted it to deliver, and i sat there for so long feeling like so bust, it's an incredible film, it's so bust, it's an incredible film, it's so good. did any of you think there would be a film like that made this year —— feeling like i was buzzing. from my perspective i was so happy to see the film being made. but it has takena to see the film being made. but it has taken a long time in the making and i'm really, really glad that it's been made and really excited and stoked to be seeing it next week. like you've said, the people are showing up, the clothing and a tire, people pre—booking tickets and that's important as well. are you surprised it has taken this long, or that it's happened this soon? i know it has sounds backwards but the way the film industry works. not shocked that all. i'm surprised how much the film was able to reference that, it's a very self—aware, not only is there just a black cast, but it refers to it and there are so many knowing laughs in the room about the nods and winks to the struggle that the makers will have been through and the audience will have experience. i'm just really glad it has happened now and so glad they we re has happened now and so glad they were able to deliver. it really is worth the hype. give us a historical context to this if you would the significance of now, notjust with the film industry but within comics. it's been a long time coming with this particular movie and for black creatives in the comic industry, they have been trying to get recognition for many, many years. black panther was introduced in the 19605 during the civil rights movement, and so it's interesting to see a movie to date reference some of the cultural elements of african—americans and the political elements in america going on. to just see the connection between black panther and actual black cultural identity on screen for the first time in this way is really important. really important to black creatives who have been struggling to be seen and heard in the comics industry since people started creating comics. who wants to pick up creating comics. who wants to pick up on that because some people watching this may ask why it is so important that it is black writers, black actors, black producers?m has been said a lot that representation really matters. seeing that they black led film with black creatives and black cast can make some much money, or is predicted to make so much money, it can only inspire future generations and future film—makers to see that the much diversity in film is something that is necessary and will be successful. it's a really interesting point that you make. sheena, is there a general view that this type of film would not make money and that's why it hasn't been made, or is it down to bog—standard racism? it is a little bit of both. there has been a myth that movies with a completely black cast, especially comics with black characters and black superheroes will not sell, but i think that is the method black creatives have been fighting against all this time, which makes this movie so important. they say the same thing about female characters but we see how good wonder woman did so now we are at a point where all of the myths around race, gender in comics are flying in the face of what we have been told historically about movies with the black cats, or women leads. how much has it been a battle to be a woman of colour? that is a loaded question. that's the important thing, do you feel you have had to be so much better because of your heritage? i think everybody, regardless, in the film industry whether you are an actor, producer, if you are a person of colour or diversity, you have to work harder, you have to work more hours, you have to show up all the time and be at your best. i think that's because there isn't many of us at the top and it is harder, and also going back to the point, there has never been films for all of black casts, black actors, writers, directors, producers and so forth and now this film will make money, it is projected to do so, people are watching it, it has social media buzz, it has audience is going crazy all over the world. i think that is what is going to open doors for a lot of people. but it is tough. you cannot sugar—coat it, unfortunately. starting out, what difference would it have made if this film, black panther, had been made when you were a young girland panther, had been made when you were a young girl and looking for inspiration? what does it do to young people to see that?” experienced watching the film, the kind of later stages of that. it is so kind of later stages of that. it is so inspiring. not only in a kind of emotional way but it gives you a practical sense of what is possible to cb is black actorsjust absolutely slaying, delivering these amazing, complicated stories. and being a hero, not being a drug dealer in a puddy. exactly command is important to underline that the film is set in an african state, thatis film is set in an african state, that is significant, although a lot of the actors are african—american, it is not set in the us, or even in britain, these are african people. for me the most emotional moment of the film was when they were doing the film was when they were doing the more kind of traditional tribal rituals, which i won't go into detail about, obviously. but rituals, which i won't go into detailabout, obviously. but it really got me in my stomach because lam part really got me in my stomach because i am part of the demo that tried in ghana and! i am part of the demo that tried in ghana and i recognised the gestures and it was unbelievable —— because i am part of that tribe. it was unbelievable to see something like that we haven't seen before and to be amongst people feeling this excitement of something that is so severely but we have not seen on television or film before, severely but we have not seen on television orfilm before, it severely but we have not seen on television or film before, it was incredible. it is related ability which is the connection that we have which is the connection that we have which has been missing from the industry for so long. we didn't have anybody when i was growing up that you could say, that is beautiful, she looks and sounds like me and has my heritage, or even resembles me or us. and therefore can go out and achieve that. that's what it is. i could talk to you for so long. thank you all and to sheena from philadelphia. two british is fighters — the last of the so—called beatles — have been captured in syria. we'll be talking to a french journalist held captive there for ten months. it's been on display at the natural history museum since 1905 — and now dippy the diplodocus — the giant replica of a dinosaur skeleton has started its uk tour. dippy is 70 foot long, more than 13 foot tall, and has 292 bones. he roamed the earth 150 million years ago. first stop in the three—year journey is dorset. it will then be shown at museums and cathedrals around britain. have a look at this. let's get the latest weather update with simon king. hello, you may have seen the new graphics that we launched this week and this is one that you might have seen, the aurora. last night we were very lucky because towards the north, if we go and run this through, you can see in the shetland islands, we have had a glimmer of the aurora moving through last night and one of our weather watchers was lucky enough to capture that moment, there it is in the shetland islands, lovely green haze on the horizon. for many last night it was clouded because of this weather front moving south and east would overnight and this morning, a little front behind that indicating we have some showers but behind that, more speckled cloud but behind that, more speckled cloud but the speckled cloud is snow showers, so those will continue to move in across western scotland, rain will clear away from the south—east but because we will see some wintry showers across parts of yorkshire andy stirling can show, for money some sunny spells this afternoon but colder than yesterday, temperatures about li—7d. this evening and tonight the rain will clear away from the south—east corner and with clear skies in central and eastern areas it will turn chilly. further west more cloud rolling in and that will keep the temperature is above freezing, you can see by those greens. but the blues are quite wide spread, colder start to saturday morning. the sunshine will not last too long because towards the west we have this next weather system working in, the isobars getting closer together, so we the isobars getting closer together, so we could see some strong winds around on saturday, especially across southern around on saturday, especially across southern areas around on saturday, especially across southern areas into the afternoon, but some wet weather moving through south—west england, wales, up into northern england, gradually spreading to the south and east, something dry and brighter, especially in the far north—east of scotland. it is a milder day, temperatures up a few degrees, they are taking a roller—coaster over the next few days, 11 or 12 celsius potentially. saturday night into sunday, the weather front will continue to move south—eastward, behind its tracking the isobars back, you can see the snow showers coming in all the way from greenland. it is a colder feel coming in all the way from greenland. it is a colderfeel on sunday, one others experiencing the colder weather once again, and with the colder weather there will be snow at times across scotland, northern ireland, even across england and wales with its season snow down to low levels, strong north—westerly wind, feeling cold on sunday, sunny spells in between, maximum temperatures up to li—7d. quite cold here but nowhere near as cold as it is in pyeongchang. temperatures for the opening ceremony around the average. they area ceremony around the average. they are a little colder than it has been, but on sunday the temperatures drop down once again, bitterly cold conditions. by the end of next week those temperatures rising slightly again. hello. it's friday. it's 10 o'clock. i'm chloe tilley. two british men suspected of being members of one of so called islamic state groups most notorious cells have been captured in syria. in a moment, we'll hearfrom one journalist held hostage by is for ten months. connor gornall was born with his intestines growing outside of his body three months ago. he's now been discharged from hospital and joins me in the studio with his parents and consultant in just over half an hour. the latest marvel superhero film black panther, had its premiere last night. it is hoped it will go some way to challenge stereotypes. seeing that a black led film with black created some black cast is addicted to make so much money, it can only inspire future generations and future film—makers to see that diversity in film is something that is necessary. good morning. here's ben brown in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. two british extremists, believed to be members of one of the so—called islamic state groups most notorious cells, have been captured by syrian kurdish fighters in syria — according to us officials. they were part of a unit comprising of four men from london, who became known as "the beatles" because of their british accents. the us state department said they beheaded more than 27 western hostages and tortured many more. the sister of the north korean leader, kimjong un, has arrived in south korea as part of a delegation attending the opening ceremony of the winter olympics. the visit by kim yojong marks the first time a member of the kim dynasty has visited the south

demanded a last minute ammendment. for the temporary shutdown to end, the spending deal must be passed in both the senate and the house of representatives and then signed by the president. there are calls for schools to be given more funding and counsellors after new research shows many schools are struggling to support pupils with mental health issues — because teachers don't know what type of help children need. figures show 50% of adult mental health problems start at the age of 1a — and the charity place 2 be — which is behind the findings — says that early intervention is key. sam started feeling depression at the age of 16 and found it hard to open up to her teacher. in my school, when i was once feeling low during a lesson, i wasn't even allowed to be in the first aid room because i was told that, unless you're like dying, basically, you're not allowed to be in there, which was hard for me because i was in a very low place mentally. mental health isn't viewed as seriously as say a broken leg. itjust causes a lot of problems. researchers at edinburgh university have grown human eggs in the laboratory for the first time. scientists removed egg cells from ovary tissue at their earliest stage of development, and matured them to the point they were ready for fertilisation. the team say their findings could lead to new ways of preserving women's fertility. trinity mirror has announced a £127 million deal to buy the express and star newspapers from northern & shell, as well as ok magazine. the company says the combined group will be able to save money by sharing content and reducing duplication, as well as cutting some posts. the european premiere of black panther took place in london last night put a bit is the first film to focus on black characters from the comics and has received praise for its portrayal of strong female characters. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 10:30am. here's some sport now with hugh. bad news for team gb before the games has ereally kicked off. katie ormerod has tweeted it's the worst luck she's ever had, and she's absolutely gutted. snowboarder ormerod broke her heel in training, just a day after fracturing her wrist. she's already had surgery, and will stay in hospital she had been due to compete in the slopestyle and big air events. she is in an extreme sport she has had herfair share of injuries already. she has a brilliant resilience. she comes back from it, she comes back better from resilience. she comes back from it, she comes back betterfrom injuries. you would not wish this on anyone in the team at this point. it would be sad for the rest of the team. she is a very positive member of the team and that is a big loss. we wish her the best with recovery. when she is fit and well she can focus on the future, coming back and fulfilling the great potential she has. we've had more action overnight, in the run—up to the opening ceremony. and going well in the team pairs figure skating are the olympic athletes from russia. but, while they were on the ice, 45 russian athletes and two coaches were told they had lost their appeals, so they won't be at the games. walter smith won't be taking the scotland football manager's job for a second time. he'd become the favourite to succeed gordon strachan, after the northern ireland boss michael o'neill turned the job down, but it's understood smith ruled himself out after talks with the scottish fa. some good news for fans of leicester city. it appears the club's ‘fall out‘ with talisman riyad mahrez is coming to an end. the bbc understands that the algeria international plans to train for the first time since the club rejected a number of bids from premier league leaders manchester city at the end of the january transfer window. it's the second round of matches in rugby union's six nations this weekend. england's head coach eddiejones has ramped up the mind games ahead of their meeting with wales. he's questioned whether wales's ‘fill—in' fly—half rhys patchell has the "bottle" for the match at twickenham. it isa it is a massive step up. he hasn't played much test rugby at all. he is a young guy. he is going to have rob shaw and farrell at him. all guys who have played a lot of test rugby. the pressure on him will be enormous. it is whether he has the bottle to handle it. the former ireland international joy neville will make more rugby union history tonight, when she'll become the first woman to referee a pro 1a rugby match — ulster versus southern kings. neville is already the first woman to take charge of a men's european club fixture — but despite the landmarks, she says she still encounters negativity. often, the little stories you hear a referee and a third division men's game and there is no one to referee in division 1. would you keep up with the pace of life? there is no point being defensive. they will be annoyed and you will be annoyed and no messages being sent. that is a fantastic achievement. sport later on. now, its three and a half years since the world watched in horror the spectacle of an american man savagely murdered — beheaded — in the syrian desert by a british man. the american was james foley and his murderer was dubbed jihadi john. he was one of a group that became known as the british beatles. they'd volunteered to fight alongside is forces and became notorious for their brutality. well, the last two of the beatles have now been captured in syria. with me is mark campbell, co—chair of the pro—kurdish solidarity campaign. he also supports families of british fighters killed fighting against isis. in cambridgeshire is macer gifford, which isn't his real name. he gave up a career in finance and decided to fly to syria three years ago. and we're alsojoined by nicolas henin, a french journalist who was held hostage by is and the so—called ‘beatles' for ten months. nicolas, thank you forjoining us today. how do you feel when you hear the news today that these two men have been captured? the news today that these two men have been captured ?” the news today that these two men have been captured? i am delighted. this is the first stage of what i want, which is justice. this is the first stage of what i want, which isjustice. there cannot be justice if there want, which isjustice. there cannot bejustice if there is no want, which isjustice. there cannot be justice if there is no capture. these people committed horrific acts. this is the first stage. how much do you know about where you we re much do you know about where you were held? much do you know about where you were held ? tell us much do you know about where you were held? tell us about the bit about the conditions in which you we re about the conditions in which you were held? i was moved across syria from place to place, probably from rack to aleppo, probably to italy prevents and then back to raqqa. we we re prevents and then back to raqqa. we were helped probably by western jailers. also british citizens as well as french and belgianjihadists fighters. when you were held, as they were british, european, weston, clearly you would have understood them speaking to one another. did you ever get a sense of who they were? was that any kind of relationship, as weird as that sounds, built up between you and your captors? there were -- they we re your captors? there were -- they were cautious at keeping identities secret. they disclose little by telling about themselves little details about their lives. they thought potentially that would help a lot in the course of legal process. how did you manage to get through the ten months? a really long time to be held constantly in fear of your life. that is a question for decisions. we reacted in ourgroup of question for decisions. we reacted in our group of hostages, we were about 2000 hostages kept together, or westerners. it is a question of, we reacted in different manners. we are now coping with the recovery. how is your recovery? it is a long process. did days like this help you to move forward and feel like you can begin to rebuild your life? one of the things with this recovery is to know there is justice. of the things with this recovery is to know there isjustice. it is of the things with this recovery is to know there is justice. it is the first time, i heard this morning, james foley was the first westerner to be beheaded by this group of people nicknamed the beatles. we are pretty much similar. she also wants justice. it will not bring her son back but she needs that in order to help herself cope with what her son —— with her son is still being missing. i know you attempted to escape. was it clear to you why some people were killed by the so—called beatles and you were not?” people were killed by the so—called beatles and you were not? i assume it has to—do with, if not the policy of our states, but at least the perception of this policy by the hostage—takers. they perception of this policy by the hostage—ta kers. they had perception of this policy by the hostage—takers. they had the feeling that some kind of decision was possible that some countries are maybe they did not want to negotiate with some others they failed to do so. with some others they failed to do so. and how do you feel towards your ca ptors ? so. and how do you feel towards your captors? i don't like hate, so... but i want justice. captors? i don't like hate, so... but i wantjustice. there is sometimes a confusion aboutjustice. —— about justice and sometimes a confusion aboutjustice. —— aboutjustice and revenge. they are the opposite. revenge is about violence and calls for more violence was revenge is violence and calls for more violence was revenge is an was revenge is an endless cycle while justice eventually aims at extinguishing violence by getting all the grievances and bringing back the peace. this is what i want. for you, what is justice? the peace. this is what i want. for you, what isjustice? being tried in the european court? justice is a proper trial. i would the european court? justice is a proper trial. iwould be the european court? justice is a proper trial. i would be upset for insta nce proper trial. i would be upset for instance if there is a trial in northern syria. more than that, i am afraid, as long as these people are detained in northern syria, just like almost 100 french jihadis who are currently detained in northern syria. they are not safe as long as they are held by these kurdish forces. there are too many ways they can escape. as well as i would not be happy if they were centred on guantanamo bay. this is about denial of justice. if we guantanamo bay. this is about denial ofjustice. if we wantjustice, we need to give them the trial that would satisfy them, but also the victims. why is that? the worst thing you can give to a terrorist is a chance to depict himself as a victim. this is a total inversion of values. a terrorist is a terrorist if you give a chance to eight terrorist with this propaganda by saying, look at me, i am the victim and saying i have not had decent treatment because i have been stigmatised or whatever, it will allow him to fuel his victimisation and you just lost. this is why we need an exceptionally fair trial. thank you so much forjoining with us and for sharing your story. we have managed to connect in cambridgeshire. he gave up a career in finance cambridgeshire. he gave up a career infinance and cambridgeshire. he gave up a career in finance and flew three years ago to fight with the syriac military council, a christian group allied with the kurdish ypg, the people's protection units and recently returned to the uk after helping to liberate the city of raqqa. macer, thank you forjoining us. how do you react to the news that the last two of these so—called beatles have been captured? it is a good day. these are two of the most brutal and horrible terrorist groups today and their capture is the beginning of a process where we can put them on trial, we can understand more of their motives, and hopefully draw an end to this terrible saga that has gripped syria for the last few yea rs, gripped syria for the last few years, the end of isis. was it cells like that, the hangings and beheadings of people likejihadi john that made you give of your career to go and fight against isis? absolutely it was. i was sitting at my desk in london and watching the events on sinjar mountains, the thousands of refugees flooding there, starving and dying of thirst on the mountain and the images of thousands of young girls being sold into slavery. and to top it all off, the terrible images of the journalists and humanitarian workers being butchered by people with the same accent as me, fellow countrymen from britain, and dizzy also that britain and america at the time did not have a plan to get rid of isis really drove me to explore who other groups on the ground, who will inherit syria and drive forward a peaceful solution to this crisis. these people are absolutely will the reason i went out on hundreds of other brits and americans went out too to fight them. did you get any sense when you were out there of why these british menjoined is, why they wanted to fight for the cause? well, over the years i've seen is in terrible things from isis. the brutality of isis is best seen up close, because it's very easy to be distant from this conflict, and i almost feel it is not part of our problem, but by going over there, some of the things i saw, particularly on their mobile phones, the brutality to local people, the war crimes they committed, these people had free rein in syria, they must have felt liberated from the constraints of a society in the uk and in europe where they felt totally alien from. they went there totally alien from. they went there to really do what they like, they did the most terrible things to the local people, and now i think the chickens have come home to roost. they have made their bed and they are going to lie in it and been arrested by the ypg and if the brits wa nt arrested by the ypg and if the brits want them to stand trial here then they must request them and they will send them across, or they will stand trial in syria. the home office has warned that anyone joining the syrian conflict on whatever side can be prosecuted for crimes committed abroad, and some people would say that what you did was wrong, was foolhardy, and potentially illegal. well, it's not a legal. the law for those fighting against terrorists and joining literally the people's protection units, the ypg command ypg is not listed on terrorist databases, the area is open to interpretation and there is obviously a moral argument and i do my best to talk to people and tell them i went there to support the local people, the true victims of the islamic state, and those fighting to liberate their own country. i've always said the same thing, people who are going to defeat isis and build a long—term solution to the syrian crisis, they exist already, they are the ypg, the mfs, the sdf, the syrian democratic forces, bringing secular democratic values, which we in the west should support. i've always been very clear on my opinion about what is going on there. macer gifford, thank you for joining us. martin campbell has been listening to that. i know that you support the families of british people who have lost loved ones to is. how important is the news today that these two men who are part of this notorious is selt who are british have been captured? —— cell. it brings up emotions for the families who have lost their loved ones fighting against isis, and i like to pay tribute to nicolas who very eloquently details his desire to see these men brought to justice. i thinkjustice is absolutely the thing that we need to be focusing on today. i think we really need to pressurise the british government to seek extradition of these two british men to bring them back to the uk so they face justice, and not to be prosecuting people like macer gifford and criminalising the people who have gone over to fight against isis. we have our first british case of the british governmentjust a few days ago bringing a case against a british national, who very inspiration for going out to syria to fight against isis was indeed these two british jihadists cutting offjames these two british jihadists cutting off james foley's head. has been speculation that the british government will strip these two men of their british citizenship and thenit of their british citizenship and then it is not clear what happens to them but you say it is critical that they come back to this country to get justice they come back to this country to getjustice and to get information if nothing else. to get information and for nicholas to getjustice and james foley's mother to getjustice. i think what we will find is the british government are very relu cta nt to british government are very reluctant to bring two men home. why? because they are closer in terms of geopolitics to turkey and it is turkey who have been supporting isis during the conflict, and the british government is supporting turkey attacking the kurds. last night they began bombing civilians in a kurdish city, so this british government will find this uncomfortable because they choose a closer relationship with turkey, they are more concerned with their arms sales to turkey than bringing justice for people like nicolas. mark, thank you for coming in to speak to still to come — us government shuts down for the second time in three weeks as congress fails to vote on the budget. we get the latest on the situation before 10:30am. this week was tipped as the coldest week of the year in britain, with widespread snow and temperatures dropping as low as —6 in some places, but spare a thought for those competing in the winter olympics, where its expected to drop as low as —20. organisers are worried about those attending the ceremony which starts in less than an hour, as the stadium has not got a roof. you'd think winter olympians would be ready to deal with freezing conditions, but when it's that cold athletes can really suffer. to find outjust how cold it could get, simon king is with us from the bbc weather centre. and so is richard brennan, a sports scientist, who knows a lot about how the cold will impact the competitors. thank you forjoining us. simon, first of all. —10, how cold is that? we were talking to a former british skier earlier on, chemmy alcott, and she said they can have big snow suits on, if skiing down an alpine mountain it is skins with nothing underneath, so that's so cold. mountain it is skins with nothing underneath, so that's so coldm mountain it is skins with nothing underneath, so that's so cold. it is cold and the only way i can describe it because i've never experienced it that love is your freezer at home is -18 that love is your freezer at home is —18 celsius. imagine that, i guess, and you'd want to wear a big thick coat to keep yourself warm in that. they have a lot less to wear. the last time we had daytime temperatures in the uk of —10 —11 was back in 2010 in northern ireland. the lowest recorded temperature in the uk is —27, so obviously we can get that cold. but obviously we can get that cold. but obviously not many of us experience that cold. richard, what does it do to an athlete's body who is at the peak of their physical fitness and they need to compete and this is the big thing in their life and they have these conditions to content with? ambient temperatures will affect soft tissue, ligaments, tendons, muscle, and affect the way the body moves and the way the athlete has to prepare, it will affect their warm up. if they are not prepared properly it's going to affect the economy of movement, the speed of movement and also cognitive function. so, decision-making? decision—making, exactly. function. so, decision-making? decision-making, exactly. that is a worry if hurtling down a mountain, snowboarding or whatever, because you need to make split—second decisions. it also affects the way you act upon these decisions. risk of injury is increased, severity of injury is increased, as well. anything from acute injuries like sprains, strains, dislocations, fractures, concussion, those are more likely to occur. so, do they change the way they prepare? can you change the way they prepare? can you change your training regime to account for this? the team directors have known it was going to be pretty cold for a long time and would have made adjustments. i think what we will see is those athletes who are more conditioned to withstand these cold temperatures, they have perhaps been brought up in these, they may see less of an effect from the cold temperature. but remember, these athletes have been training for four years for this event and they will be straining every sinew in order to try and get that extra margin above their competitors. when they are straining every sinew and when they are operating this close to the edge that's when serious injuries can occur. as we have that's when serious injuries can occur. as we have seen that's when serious injuries can occur. as we have seen because one of our competitors already had to drop out. simon, the opening ceremony is less than an hour away. sadly for the people in that stadium there is no roof and i know that lots of people are saying that their athletes will not be at the opening ceremony because it will be so cold. the us athletes will have heeded jackets, one solution i guess, how cold will it he's extremely cold, the timberjoey inventory for pyeongchang is 0 degrees, the daytime maximum —— the temperature in pyeongchang. below is -10 but this week they have had —20 at night, so it's been exceptionally cold, more than 10 degrees colder than average. in the last 2a hours we have had slightly less cold air moving in the server temperatures have risen slightly. so, for the opening ceremony it is —1 minus two celsius. it is not the bitterly cold conditions we have had. —— so the temperatures have risen. saturday into sunday colder air from china will come down, from russia, sorry, coming back south and temperatures will drop away again. wind—chill is another thing to think about, because while you could say the temperature is —12, “111, if it is dry and sunny that may not feel quite as bad. but you add on the wind of 30 mph and it will feel more like about —25, —26 degrees. basta concerned as we go through sunday into monday. thank you ever so much. we are less than an hour away from that. coverage of the winter olympics across the bbc, meaning this programme will not be on bbc two next week but you can find us as ever on the bbc news channel. still to come, we meet a baby

researchers at the university of edinburgh grow human eggs in a laboratory for the first time. time for the latest news with ben brown. two british extremists, believed to be members of one of the so—called islamic state groups most notorious cells, have been captured by syrian kurdish fighters in syria — according to us officials. they were part of a unit comprising of four men from london, who became known as the beatles because of their british accents. the us state department said they beheaded more than 27 western hostages and tortured many more. the sister of the north korean leader, kim jong—un, has arrived in south korea as part of a delegation attending the opening ceremony of the winter olympics. the visit by kim yo—jong marks the first time a member of the kim dynasty has visited the south since the korean war. key us government agencies have shut down for the second time in three weeks. the senate failed to vote on a budget deal before a midnight deadline, after a republican senator demanded a last—minute ammendment. for the temporary shutdown to end, the spending deal must be passed in both the senate and the house of representatives and then signed by the president. researchers at edinburgh university have grown human eggs in the laboratory for the first time. scientists removed egg cells from ovary tissue at their earliest stage of development, and matured them to the point they were ready for fertilisation. the team say their findings could lead to new ways of preserving women's fertility. the european premiere of marvel‘s newest super hero film, black panther, took place in london last night. it is the first film to focus on black characters from the comics and has also received praise for its portrayal of strong female characters. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. back to you, chloe fulford top here's some sport now with hugh. bad news ahead of the start of the winter olympics for team gb. freestyle snowboarder katie ormerod says she's ‘gutted' after being ruled out of the games. the 20—year—old has had surgery after breaking her heel in a training crash. she has had two screws in saturday will be in hospitalfor a week. she'll miss the opening ceremony in pyeongchang. it starts at 11 o'clock and you can watch lizzie yarnold lead out teamgb on bbc one, the red button and the bbc sport website. in football, the former scotland manager walter smith won't be taking on the job for a second time. he was favourite to replace gordon strachen but he's ruled himself out. riyad mahrez‘s feud with leicester city looks to be over. he's set to train with the squad today, for the first time since a move to manchester city fell through last month. he's effectively been on strike since leicester rejected a deal of around £50 million. that is all the sport. i will be back after 11. the us government has shut down for a second time. last month many public services closed for three days because of the dispute as future funding was not secure. it has an impact on thousands of adults brought into the country as illegal immigrants as children. there was an original deal allowing many to stay in the united states. let's be a representative of republicans overseas. and heyra avila who is the daughter of illegal migrants who brought her into the usa when she was four years old. thank you all for coming in to see us. first of all, karen, can you explain to people watching, what does the us government shutdown mean? it is confusing. what it sounds like a lot of government services. functioning. that does not mean every single worker from the federal government will stay at home. social security checks will still be sent out but things like national parks could be at risk from shutting down. a lot of administrative services. things like the energy department, some of their staff. the longer it goes on, the more staff would have to be away from work. they would have to have no pay. hundreds of thousands of people would not be receiving a salary for that period. it is something we take extremely seriously and we do want to deliver that service to americans. just explain to people watching, why hasn't an agreement being reached? it is typical negotiating. the democrats have tried to inject the dreamers legislation into budget negotiations. that was the setback three weeks ago which shut the government down. it is typical negotiating. it will never be perfect for everyone. in the budget that was passed by the senate a few hours ago, i think it was very good for republicans. the democrats got some of the things they needed. as long as the budget process continues today and is signed by president trump, we should have an agreement by the end of the day. i don't think there will be a meaningful government shutdown. essentially not. just explain, a dreamer essentially someone who was brought into the united states as a child. there is no documentation but you go to us schools, you become enriched in the culture. to all intents and purposes you see yourself as an american citizen. the democrats were wa nted american citizen. the democrats were wanted to include your protection, essentially, in these negotiations. has not been successful. how are you feeling right now? —— that has not been successful. i am feeling very disappointed it had to come to this point. the fact it has come to this point. the fact it has come to this point and people are reacting. dukkah came to be about five years ago. five years too late. we have been fighting for this for years. seeing it now at this point is disappointing and saddening. honestly, i feel the dream. you say daca, it was a protection put into place by president obama and rescinded by president trump last year. how did you come to the united states and the challenges of being someone states and the challenges of being someone without documentation in your country? i crossed the border with my parents when i was just four yea rs with my parents when i was just four years old. we cross the desert. i don't remember much because i was four. i do remember that mum and i, i was one of only children, i had the privilege of sleeping in a car. entering the united states at such a young age was a culture shock. i had to learn english. in the united states no one looked like me at the time. it was scary to be here and not knowing what i was going to do, who i was going to start interacting with. i think i led a pretty normal life. at the same time a really different life from my mum and peers. i did not always know why until i started to ask questions and then i started reading up on what undocumented meant. it definitely had a huge impact on me. what does it mean in practical terms? had a huge impact on me. what does it mean in practicalterms? not having a social means that you cannot get a driver ‘s license. it means you cannot work legally since you don't have the proper documentation. for some it means they can't go to college. if they finish a degree they can't get a job. they feel they worked so hard to get a degree. it means you cannot live a normal life. you always have to live under the shadows, live in fear of deportation. living in really everyday fear of not knowing what will happen to you or your family. can you understand why she feels let down by the democrats?” completely understand why she feels disturbed and upset. she is right to feel so. this is a problem we need to solve the country need to solve it urgently. that is why the democrats shut down the government a few weeks ago and when we still have not stopped fighting for it. there isa not stopped fighting for it. there is a lot going on right now. we have not passed the budget in the has. there was an eight hour speech last night which was extraordinary, demanding that there be a clean bill on daca to support this immediately. it is important to talk about how we got where we are. the reason why she feels in threat now, the programme that the setup when president obama setup to protect dreamers was abolished by president trump or that it is purely punitive. it was abolished in people who are protected under that programmers start to be deported on the of march. that is when their business will be invalidated. there is no reason for that to happen. that is why we have had to bring this conversation into the budget negotiation. it is not necessarily budget conversation. there is an urgency which is unsuccessful. do you think she should be able to stay in the united states? absolutely. it isa in the united states? absolutely. it is a shame it has taken this long to get something permanent. is a shame it has taken this long to get something permanentm is a shame it has taken this long to get something permanent. it is not sorted, is it? republicans can fix it right now. i am very confident they will. the deadlines that the president said is much the fifth. we did not want to tie it into the budget because it is completely unrelated to budget negotiations. i think it will be approved today, as i mentioned earlier. then we will get to daca and i think it will be resolved. there is no doubt the republican party wants it to be resolved. there is enormous doubt that the republican party wants it to be resolved. the party has different elements. most of the party is very pro—immigration. it might not be pro—illegal immigration but, by no means, does anybody want to criticise the dreamers. and the attention is —— intention is to get it down and get it done quickly. they were pushing for 800,000. now that the republican administration and congress is talking over a million that is very good news for the dreamers and for the country. we had a resolution for this country. we had a resolution on the table a few weeks ago. we had a bipartisan proposal because she waited by the republicans and democrats. donald trump said he would not accept it. then donald trump came back with a ridiculous proposal that he would only protect the dreamers when they ended a legal immigration. with all due respect, iappreciate ended a legal immigration. with all due respect, i appreciate the fact you brought in the 1.8 million and said how that was great. you also failed to mention the other addition. he wants to bring in more rates. it is making a deal with the devil, i think. rates. it is making a deal with the devil, ithink. if rates. it is making a deal with the devil, i think. if we don't keep fighting for comprehensive immigration reform, donald trump and the republicans will continue to set their own values. they say they protect dreamers and daca students. i promise you i will keep fighting for comprehensive immigration reform and stopping separation of families. that is what we deserve because we are humans. thank you they much for joining us on the programme. gemma whitbread and her partner, lyle gornall, were devastated to discover their baby was growing with his intestines outside his body. after getting through the high—risk pregnancy, baby connor was born at 3a weeks and doctors immediately wrapped his intestines in cling film to protect it. they spent the next 11 weeks using a specially designed sling to ease them back in using gravity. despite the risks, the procedure was a success and connor was released from hospital this time last week. we can hear him gurgling. he is com pletely we can hear him gurgling. he is completely gorgeous. hallow, little man. look at him. how old is he now? 11 weeks. just over 11 weeks. how is he doing? really well. he is feeding really well. a little bit grumpy at the moment. i think he is probably starting to get a bit hungry. did you think you would have this day? no. it was a long time. it felt like a lot longer than it was. at what point did you realise there was a problem? 12 weeks ago. 12 weeks ago. at the 12 week scan they did an ultrasound. they sent someone else in to have a look. they said to us we would have to see a specialist because of a hole in his stomach. we we re because of a hole in his stomach. we were a bit scared foot as was coming for their scans. we walked out crying, thinking the worst. i wanted to go onto google to see what it was. the worst thing to do. definitely, the worst thing to do. we thought he would be all right. it was quite difficult. scans in and out to check if it was ok. it was quite hard. they wanted to monitor him constantly. everything was done pretty much by the same person who scanned him every time. he was born 34 scanned him every time. he was born 3a weeks. as he was born, give us a sense, how large where his intestines? quite large we have quite few pictures. literally covering his whole body. quite shocking how it went back into his tiny body. we do have these pictures. we will show them. it might be quite pressing for people. it gives you a sense ofjust the miracle of this. so, i want to bring in kate, the consultant surgeon at great ormond street hospital you are probably best place to explain to us, what on earth do you do? are you ever had a situation like this before? yes, we see one or to macro children every month. it is that common? it is not common overall. it happens in about one in every 3000 pregnancies. because we are a specialist hospital we see more than other places might do. you wrapped the intestines in clingfilm? when he was born the maternity unit will wrap them in clingfilm to keep it warm and moist. he is stabilised and transferred so we can make plans to get everything back inside the tummy, either straightway all over time, which is what we had to do here. were you able to see it happening question over a period of time per did you start to notice chris rock we did start to notice it going in slowly. -- did you start to notice? i thought it would be about a month. another month later. we would get to each different state. some days he would be puffy than others. in his incubator can you cannot touch or get close. how much physical contact could you have? not much at all. we did not hold him properly until about six weeks. that is tough, isn't it? because you want to have the bonding. did you ever have any difficulty with no, no. not at all. i held him for about a minute when he was born. after that it was holding him on a pillow. he had to lay straight kersey had a silo bagful seb it is quite difficult. when the intestines had gone back inside, it was a case of an operation and monitoring. gone back inside, it was a case of an operation and monitoringm gone back inside, it was a case of an operation and monitoring. it is quite complicated. there was so much bow outside the tummy and he was very small. there was not the space for everything to going straightaway. —— bowel. we made the silo tailored for him with the mesh on either side. over the course of one day under a month we were able to get everything back inside and ta ke to get everything back inside and take him back to the operating theatre. would you have any idea now? is there any difference or lasting consequences or impacts from this? there is a cigar, obviously. that does not matter, does it? that does not mean anything. my children would never have behaved this well. he has been very brave. what impact did it have on your relationship? it must have been really tough. we were stressed in getting out each other a bit. it is hard because you have to deal with the stress of seeing conner the way a gem of the way she was. he was trying to be strong for me “— was. he was trying to be strong for me —— gemma. trying to do with it that way. it definitely made us stronger, 100%. you realise you can get through anything if you stick together. we have done really well. he has been phenomenal. and it did bring out the romantic side in you? can you explain oh, yeah. applause that is clearly a proposal. this is the card. explained the card.” that is clearly a proposal. this is the card. explained the card. i went out the night before and i was in the doghouse anyway so i thought if i got connor to ask rather than me she would definitely say yes. it was really difficult and i was nervous and things like that, i had a tiny time space from when she went to the toilet to come back to get the nurses in on everything and say, look, i'm going to do this and calm eve ryo ne look, i'm going to do this and calm everyone down and film it and i had a card that said money, will you marry daddy? the nurses were obviously there are applauding in the background. it was good. it's perfect, you've got your little boy home and you are engaged, incredible. thank you so much for coming in. you are a wonderful little man, i might have to have a little man, i might have to have a little cuddle. the nurses and doctors at great ormond street don't get enough credit, they were amazing and made us feel so much better. they made us feel we were at home. they made us feel we were at home. they made us feel we were at home. they made us feel that we were at home and now we are really at home it is even better. thank you for coming in and sharing your story. joe neville will make history by becoming the first female referee to referee a top—flight rugby match in the uk. shall take charge of the match between ulster and southern kings in belfast tonight. this is the remarkable story of herjourney into top—flight refereeing. i rang a gentleman, very high up in the rugby circles, and i said, "look, i just want your opinion on something, one question... do you think it's possible for a female to referee the division 1a in ireland?" thet‘s top level in ireland. he said, "joy, not in my lifetime". and that for me, i was in. probably i was a bit naive to the magnitude of the award, to be honest. i didn't expect the reaction at all that i received. yeah, look, it's been amazing. i never decided to become a referee, and let's just put that out there because i never even contemplate it, it didn't even cross my mind. i was plagued by a good friend, dave mchugh, he was a referee manager. i said, "not a hope, no interest whatsoever, i don't even know why you're approaching me about refereeing". i played, i dedicated 11 years to international rugby and ijust wanted... your priorities change. i met my partner at the time, i wanted to enjoy the little things in life. i said, "look, give me nine months and come back to me". he rang me, nearly on the day of nine months, and i said, "right, we mean business". i'd say it took me a good 6—9 months to properly enjoy refereeing, even longer. i remember i went to the 2014 world cup, after i retired, to support the girls and helen o'reilly was refereeing in that world cup in france. i agreed three more months and something clicked. i'm extremely competitive, and i suppose as an ex—international player, i knew what level i wanted to be at and i wasn't at it. i strive for that perfect performance, and i suppose it minimised the enjoyment level. i think it was the moment that i realised mistakes happen. i don't really see myself as a trailblazer. people say to me and i get quite embarrassed, but it's lovely, it's lovely, i've a lot of support and it's a nice feeling. it's more kind of educating, and i think it's more the older generation, to the fact that you can go out there, it doesn't make a difference of the gender of the personal of the gender of the person in the middle, it'sjust about thejob being done. often, the little stories of coming into clubs and, "oh, you're here to referee the third division men's game?" i'm like, "no, i'm actually here to ref the division one". they're like, "oh, will you be able to keep up with the pace of play?" you know, i don't get defensive. nine times out of ten, they come up afterwards, those people and those older men, will come up afterwards, give it a chance, don't look for the perfect game, because it will take from the enjoyment aspect of things. understand that it's all about the players, it's not about the referee and it's about the referee being in the best physical and mental state. i always strive to remain anonymous, i think it's very important. and in order to remain anonymous, you have to get the right calls. to be involved in the six nations, men's fixtures, an official on the line would be a dream come true. and whether that's achievable, i don't know, but i'll try. big day for her. there has been a fertility breakthrough as researchers at edinburgh university have successfully grown human eggs ina lab have successfully grown human eggs in a lab for the very first time. egg cells were removed from ovary tissue at the earliest stages of development and grown to the point where they were ready for fertilisation. this could potentially help future fertility treatments. let's talk to professor evelyn telfer who is the lead researcher at the university of edinburgh. and kate dobb who has survived cancer. she was left infertile yet now has two children. thank you forjoining us. i want to start with you, professor evelyn telfer, this was taking eggs and growing them in a laboratory? yes, we took ovarian tissue, very small pieces of ovarian tissue that contains many of the immature eggs, when the eggs are at the earliest stage, and these eggs could be in the human ovary for more than 40 to 50 yea rs before the human ovary for more than 40 to 50 years before they start to grow. so, clearly in young women there are many of these eggs and we activated them to grow within the culture dishes in the lab and got them to a certain point, which we could then change the conditions and eventually we have been able to get them to a point that is quite similar to the stage that they would be ovulated at, so they would be mature eggs. said this could be significant, for example, if a young child was going through chemotherapy, or something like that, this could potentially help them for the future? obviously this is very early stages and we need to do a lot of work to improve the system and to test the quality and the safety of these in vitro grown eggs. but currently very young girls are having tissue, ovarian tissue stored, before they undergo chemotherapy. they don't have many options of what they can do with that tissue. the only option is that it can be transplanted back in at a later date and that might not be suitable for everyone. so if this is shown to be safe and we get healthy eggs potentially it could have a clinical application in those cases in particular. let's bring indicate, because i know you were diagnosed with cancer when you were ten and your chemotherapy left you infertile, which must be devastating. you have survived the cancer but something has been taken away from you? absolutely. i think things have changed now from when i was initially diagnosed back in 1987. the focus was very much on survival, but as more and more people survive cancer quality of life for cancer survivors is more of a focus and fertility is a really, really important part of that. anything that gives cancer patients more options of having a family is amazing. and it hasn't stopped you having a family but it has made it a more difficult route, hasn't it? yeah, igot more difficult route, hasn't it? yeah, i got my happy ending, i'm really lucky, i have three—year—old twins, my sister donated eggs and my friend who i met through surrogacy uk carried them for me so i'm really lucky commander proud mum. we can see them in a picture behind you when they were first born. incredible for you. but very important for young girls to have this option in the future. clearly it's not something that will immediately go through a parent's mind or anything like that, but it gives them a chance for a different future. absolutely, ithink gives them a chance for a different future. absolutely, i think it's really important that young cancer patients know there is hope for them to have a family. this is fantastic. obviously it may take several years to get into the clinic but it's very promising research. really happy about it. i'm very passionate about fertility in young people. and having the conversation about fertility, i've taken apart in klich sergeant‘s educational videos, fertility, i've taken apart in klich sergea nt‘s educational videos, you can takea sergea nt‘s educational videos, you can take a look at klich sergeant .org .ukto can take a look at klich sergeant .org .uk to have a look at their options for young cancer patients. it is important and an issue that is sometimes forgotten. professor evelyn telfer, it is early days in the study as you say, but is it clear that these eggs, but you grew in the laboratory, whether they are viable eggs? it's not entirely clear whether they are capable of being fertilised and whether they would result in a normal embryo, which is clearly the next stage of the process in terms of our research. —— clic sargent. we are working on ways to improve the system and then working to apply to the regulatory bodies in order to get permission to attempt to fertilise these eggs. whilst it is quite a breakthrough it is an early stage and is now the start of a lot of work to ensure that we get healthy, safe eggs at the end of the process. but kate explained it very nicely in terms of what options are available, and she didn't have that option in terms of taking ovarian tissue. now that is routinely available for patients before they undergo chemotherapy. progress is being made all the time. thank you both forjoining us. lots of you have been getting in touch about the stories we have been discussing this morning. were talked about mental health and young people needing counselling in schools, we had an e—mail, my son has been attending council stomach counselling at school and it is a life—saver due to stress from his gcses and i'm gratefulfor the school because without the support and care from counselling his mental health would have declined. local authorities should do more to support pupils and their schools instead of turning a blind eye. also getting in touch about the black panther uk premiere last night: it isa panther uk premiere last night: it is a good thing hollywood has brought out a film with an all—black cast. despite the races and we all too often hear and see in this country far more inclusion of black people in both programming and adverts is important. bbc news room live is coming up next and on the us government shutdown we have just heard congress has just approved a bill to fund the federal government, and that means the shutdown could end before the us working day begins. thank you forjoining us. have a great day. hello, good morning. we have had rain affecting eastern parts of england this morning but further north and west as colder air‘s moved in we have had some sleet and snow showers, just some light snow falling in herefordshire, just a short while ago. those wintry showers continue to push further south and east, even around the london area we could see a few flurries perhaps. later in the afternoon it will stay wet with a bit of snow across parts of yorkshire and lincolnshire. for many parts of the uk, this afternoon looks fine and sunny. it will feel colder than yesterday, those temperatures down by a couple of degrees. a few snow showers in scotland, and through tonight, with clear skies for many parts there will be a frost in central and eastern areas, but not so towards the west with more cloud and rain moving in for saturday. wet and windy day expected for many of us on saturday. by sunday it should improve, more in the way of sunshine, very strong wind but again feeling cold. this is bbc news and these are the top stories developing at 11.00am. british and risks, believed to have been members of one of islamic state's most notorious

morning, while stock markets across asia saw hefty falls overnight after the dowjones in new york was down by more than 1,000 points for the second time this week. researchers at edinburgh university have grown human eggs in the laboratory for the first time. the team say their findings could lead to new ways of preserving women's fertility.
