For bowel, breast and Cervical Cancer have failed to meet government targets. And rugbys six nations starts tonight, with wales upping the ante, saying if they win against france, they believe theyll take the tournament. Coming up on bbc news, former captain Alastair Cook says england are still in the game going into day two of the second test against west indies, despite a disappointing batting performance. Hello, good afternoon, welcome to the bbc news at one. We are live on the bbc news at one. We are live on the m4 in wiltshire, just one of the counties in southern england where it has been snowing very heavily for hours now, causing widespread travel disruption. On the m4 behind me, they kept it open, highways england, but only by using snowploughs time and again on both carriageways. Well, the disruption has been not only on the roads, where in cornwall hundreds of motorists have been stranded overnight, but also on Rail Services and some airports as well. Hundreds of schools around the country have been closed, and in scotla nd country have been closed, and in scotland it was the coldest night for seven years, minus 15 celsius was the temperature recorded at braemar in scotland. Lets get this report on the days developments so farfrom jon donnison. It may not be a polar vortex but its pretty parky. And for millions of people, a difficult, and for some, impossible journey to work. If you have to go out, take extreme care, drive with caution, take everything nice and gentle, the throttle, the brakes, the steering. The road is very, very treacherous indeed. My advice, personally, would be stay at home. Some, though, didnt follow such advice. Overnight on the a30 on bodmin moor in cornwall, hundreds of drivers had to abandon their vehicles after being stuck for hours in freezing temperatures. Weve been in the car since about apm, we left redruth, so we have gone about 30 miles in, whats that . Nine and a bit hours. And in the last six hours weve probably moved about less than 100 yards or so. The famous jamaica inn opened its doors to those in need of shelter, making up beds in the restaurant and bar when all the rooms were taken. And at Callywith College in bodmin, the snow forced students to make it their home for the night because the roads were too treacherous. So in the end we had aboutjust over 300 students staying at the college. Everyones fine, and they have been fed and watered are and had a good nights sleep, fora teenager, i imagine, a are two or three hours we were grateful to asda who donated of £800 of bedding to support the students and provide as cosy an environment as we could provide for them. And for many children its a day off, with hundreds of schools closed across southern england and wales. Earlier, an amber weather warning was in place from oxford down to basingstoke, but theres expected to be snow flurries across much of the country throughout the day. At heathrow, theyve been de icing planes, but more than 35 flights had to be cancelled. Bristol airport had to close this morning, and there has been disruption at cardiff too. Did you want a bread roll with that, my love . And spare a thought for the homeless. In bristol, where the council has launched its emergency Severe Weather programme, theyve been handing out hot food and drinks. I couldnt even sleep last night, i was that cold. You know . I had a sleeping bag, and im not being funny, i had to sleep in all of these clothes to keep warm, a pair of gloves on, scarf on, hat on, do you know what i mean . Thats how it is, mate. But i think we kind of get used to it, its a case of having to. And the Winter Weather is set to continue well into the weekend, with temperatures not expected to rise significantly until tuesday. Jon donnison, bbc news. Well, we heard how many motorists got stranded on the a30 in cornwall and had to be put up for the night at the jamaica inn and had to be put up for the night at thejamaica inn in bodmin. Our correspondent robert hall reports 110w correspondent robert hall reports now from there. Jamaica inn, a travel is haven for three centuries, last night once again the right place at the right time. Sweeping snow across the bleak hilltops of bodmin moor had brought the busy a30 to a standstill, the lights of the inn a beacon to drivers with nowhere to go. The only way i can describe it as like armageddon. I have lived in norway for three months of the year for the last nine years, and i havent seen anything like this, lorries jackknifed all up this road, vehicles everywhere. Digging their ca is vehicles everywhere. Digging their ca rs of vehicles everywhere. Digging their cars of this morning, workmates richard and david, richard had set off to the inn on foot. It came to a standstill, decided to ditch it, we nt standstill, decided to ditch it, went to the jamaica inn a mile away, it was busy, they were setting up bids, getting lots of phone calls from people stuck, being really helpful. Through the night, cold, hungry travellers trudged up the hill to find warmth. Staff gathered mattresses and bedding as chefs dug into their reserves of food. The staff have been amazing, jamaica inn, cant praise them highly enough. The roads are open, surprise guests on the way, but staff at the old smugglers how to i know they may be needed again before winter leaves us. Well, it is slightly a hint of a thaw, shall i say, but still pretty biting, so you can imagine how welcome the door was to travellers. David, you are the front of house manager, all of a sudden, quite thursday night, this happens, how did you manage to cope . It was quite an effort from all the team, we had two in the team, and everyone pulled together, we were soothing the mac serving food until the early hours then getting ready for the brea kfast, then getting ready for the breakfast, so it has been a good run through. What kind of state where people in . Very windswept and snowy, just happy to have some shelter, bla nkets just happy to have some shelter, blankets and a pillow for the night. From some guests i spoke to, you rated their bedrooms to get extra bedding. In all the bedrooms, we have extra mattresses and bedding, so have extra mattresses and bedding, so that was all stripped, the lower pa rt so that was all stripped, the lower part of the restaurant we set up as a bit ofa part of the restaurant we set up as a bit of a dormitory. Enough food for everybody . Just about there was about 100, 150 odd people coming for food, so we started to run out towards the end. Has this ever happened before . Last year, there was a happened before . Last year, there wasa similar happened before . Last year, there was a similar thing happened, but this was the first time this year. Because it is in the middle of nowhere, it attracts people from a few miles around when it happens. Least you know what youre getting into, well done to you and your staff, i know a lot of people are very grateful. All right, robert, thank you very much, robert hall reporting. That is the picture in cornwall. Berkshire is another county that has been hard hit by freezing conditions. Duncan kennedy reports from berkshire. Somewhere out there is the a34. We are heading north into amber weather territory. The black of the a road soon gives way to the white of a b road. This is the border between hampshire and berkshire, and where we meet our first person hampshire and berkshire, and where we meet ourfirst person in difficulty. What are you going to do . Turnaround . Smiling but struggling. We head on over the m4, where the snow into the hills are adding to the problems. How is it going . You have to concentrate very hard, it takes a lot of effort. I am considering turning back because of the hill. When i have done my work, cani the hill. When i have done my work, can i get back up the hill . I am thinking, shall i turn around . I thinking, shall i turn around . I think i will, actually. We leave him and head on down that hill. We have been driving around berkshire and north hampshire now for several hours, and wherever we have gone, we have had the snow and wind, really laying it down thick across all the countryside and erodes that we have been travelling along. In this particular area, just north of the m4, the snow is maybe 5 inches deep. Then it was on into the village of great shepherd, where getting out could be getting difficult. Tim thinks this small settle m e nt difficult. Tim thinks this small settlement might soon be hemmed in by the snow. You have got a big hill, you are concerned about being cut off. We frequently do get cut off, there is a steep hill with some towns, quite steep drop offs, it is not worth the risk, really. You are going to stay put . Get peter morgan out, go into the hills, makes fun of it. Get the toboggan out. Out, go into the hills, makes fun of it. Get the toboggan out. Drivers could move and wish they had not. A few hours in the life of the snowbound south. Duncan kennedy, bbc news. And there is no continuing to fall really heavily in wiltshire where we are now, right along the m4 corridor this afternoon, so driving conditions really atrocious at the moment, and the motoring organisations warning people only to go out if it is absolutely essential. Well, more details on the weather and a travel situation on our bbc news website throughout the day, and also from me throughout the afternoon on the bbc news channel. But from here in wiltshire now, back to you in the studio, kate. Ben, thank you so much, ben brown there. A newborn baby girl has been found abandoned in a park on one of the coldest nights of winter. Named roman by nurses, she was found in newham, east london, just after ten oclock last night and taken to hospital. The police say her condition is now stable but are appealing to the mother to come forward. Weve heard from one of those who found the child last night. My mum, at ten oclock in the evening, she was walking the dog, and she heard a noise coming out from the bag. She rang me up because she was too scared to approach the bag, and i came, ijust found a baby in a bag. And we phoned the ambulances and police. Do you have a message to the mum . No, we dont, theres no words for it. You must hope shes ok. Of course, this is terrible, its unreal. Tsbs blamed it problems for a pre tax loss of more than £105 million. The bank says last year was its most challenging. Our personal finance correspondent Simon Gompertz is here. Many tsb customers will remember why. Remind us all what happened. Last april, they moved to customer details from an old system to a new when the mac one, and it went wrong, meaning 2 million current account holders did not have access to their current account four weeks, and it affected branches as well. We are hearing today that the cost so far is around £330 million for dealing with that, a number which will scare other banks witless, and here is a breakdown of how they arrived at this. £125 million for compensation, nearly £50 million for frauds that we re nearly £50 million for frauds that were perpetrated during the chaos on customers, £122 million for the cost of recovering the systems, and then £34 million for charges that were waived during the period. Now, set against that, they have said they are going to gain £150 million from the subsidiary looking after technology of their parent spanish bank, sub adele, and it is interesting they will get that money, because it suggest that this Technology Operation from spain, which was behind the new system, is shouldering some of the responsibility. Does it end there . It doesnt, because there are investigations, an internal one, one from mps that will report too, and most importantly from the financial watchdog the fca, in conjunction with the bank of england, and the last time they looked at Something Like this, they imposed a fine on rbs are more than £50 million, so this bill of more than £300 million is likely to escalate. Simon, thank you for that. The uk has objected to gibraltar being described as a colony and its status as controversial in eu documents. The phrases appeared in new european legislation that would allow british citizens to travel to the eu without a visa after brexit. We can speak to our brussels reporter adam fleming. This was in a footnote, i understand. Tell us more. Yes, time to delve into the documents. In november, the eu published a proposal saying that british citizens who want to the eu on holiday orfor work british citizens who want to the eu on holiday or for work after brexit would not need a visa, but this being the eu, it then had to go through a legislative process to be approved by the Member States and the european parliament. What happened during that process was that the Spanish Government insisted a little footnote was put into the document where it describes gibraltar as a colony and said that its status was controversial. Now, the British Government found that language quite offensive, and this morning at a meeting in brussels the uk ambassador to the eu, he made an objection to his counterparts, and that will now be written down and added to the minutes of the meeting. However, the footnote is still in the document, it has not gone anywhere, and eight uk request to add a second footnote clarifying the situation was rejected by the eu. Now, i know it all sounds quite complicated, a big fuss over what is written at the bottom of a page, not evenin written at the bottom of a page, not even in the middle, but two things to ta ke even in the middle, but two things to take away from this. Number one, the eu still wants to offer these free travel if you want to go on holiday to spain, france or germany in 2020 or 2021, number two, the Spanish Government will use any opportunity they can to talk about gibraltar. Adam, thank you. Our top story this lunchtime. Heavy snow has swept across the west country and large parts of southern england and wales, as the uk suffered its coldest night for seven years. And coming up why were being encouraged to clear out our medicine cabinets.

Its a week since a dam burst in brazil, sending millions of tonnes of mining waste across an area that engulfed the mines cafeteria, nearby houses, vehicles and roads. 110 people are now known to have died with hundreds still missing. The tragedy happened in the state of minas gerais, and is the second dam collapse to have occurred there in recent years. The governments now raised grave concerns about other dams in surrounding areas, as Julia Carneiro reports. Devastation as far as the eye can see. This is waste from Iron Ore Mining engulfing houses, trees, trucks, and hundreds of people believed to be buried under the mud. The dam, owned by mining giant vale, collapsed in the brazilian state of minas gerais in the city of brumadinho. Just over three years ago, another dam failed in mariana, only 120km away. Now attention turns to neighbouring cities like congonhas, home to one of the biggest urban dams in latin america. This is the Casa De Pedra dam, owned by csn. Its right next to the city and holds five times more mining waste than the dam that collapsed in brumadinho. When this neighbourhood here was built, the dam was a lot smaller but it was expanded over the years, growing closer and closer to the houses. Its just 250m from some of the constructions, and after what happened in brumadinho, residents here say its either them or the dam they dont feel safe here any more. Translation im terrified, i wake up scared, i have nightmares. Ifear this could happen here too. We live right under the dam im scared for everyone here. This activist says theres no dialogue with csn. The company did not want to comment on this report. Translation the lesson comes at a huge cost, with all the lives we lost, but it has to be applied to prevent other collapses. People here want a solution they dont want to live in doubt. Structural problems were detected twice in the dam in the past six years, according to this prosecutor, and were repaired following judicial orders. At the time, csn said the demands had been followed, and the dam presented no risks for workers and residents. Translation its a huge structure, very close to the city. If it breaks, its going to be one of the worst accidents ever. Mining workers here are concerned after the dam collapse. Vale employees voted to interrupt their shift for two hours to mourn their colleagues in brumadinho. Translation if its so safe, why dont shareholders live under a dam . We have to change the model of mining, and governments need to pressure private companies, instead of easing licences for mining. After two disastrous collapses, brazils mining dams are under scrutiny, and People Living under their shadows dont want to be the next victims. Julia carneiro, bbc news, congonhas, brazil. The United States says north korea has promised to destroy all of its uranium enrichment facilities, in a step towards denuclearisation. It comes as donald trump prepares for another meeting with kim jong un. Washington has called on pyongyang to declare all its nuclear and missile programmes, with the warning that it has contingency plans if the diplomatic process fails. In an interview with the new york times, President Trump has dismissed ongoing talks in congress about funding a wall on the mexico border as a waste of time. Donald trump told the paper hed all but given up negotiating with the democrats and would get the wall finished on his own. The democrats are refusing to agree to the 5. 7 billion that mr trump wants for the wall. None of the three main Health Screening programmes in england bowel, breast or cervical met their targets last year, according to a report by the National Audit office. There were also delays in cervical screening results reaching half of women tested, with a backlog of nearly 100,000 samples. Our Health Correspondent Catherine Burns is here. Lets start with the figures around cervical screening. Whats causing the delays. With those figures, in the worst month last year there were more than 150,000 rambles piled up in laboratories across england and waiting to be tested samples. There was a slight improvement, by the end of the year it was close to 100,000, but the build up means there are delays in women getting there are delays in women getting the results through. The government expects the vast majority to find out within two weeks, thats just not happening, it hasnt happened since 2015. If you look at march last year, only one third of women we re last year, only one third of women were getting their results within a fortnight. Again, there were some slight improvements and now its closer to a half, but still way off the target. Then theres the question of why this is happening and thats been linked to changes in how the samples are analysed. In the long run it means were not going to need as many laboratories doing this kind of work. Whats actually happening is that staff in those labs are starting to leave, so theres extra pressure on the system and this isnt the only problem with cervical screening. It has targets for the percentage of women who are eligible for screening that are actually getting it. Its just for screening that are actually getting it. Itsjust not for screening that are actually getting it. Its just not hitting those targets. This isntjust a problem with cervical screening. The National Audit office also find problems with breast and bowel cost neither is meeting accepted standard. The chair of the public accou nts standard. The chair of the Public Accounts Committee has spoken about this and has said it is unacceptable and worrying, and says the powers that be need to get this fixed. The government says our screening programmes are among the best in the world and its working to resolve any issues. Thank you. Now unless youre one of those who have had a new year declutter you might instead have old medicines lurking in the back of a cupboard and those packets of tablets can soon stack up. In north yorkshire, a medicines amnesty is under way, to encourage people to return drugs they no longer need. Patients are also being encouraged to have an annual review to make sure they are on the right medication. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes has been to harrogate to find out more. Weve probably all got them tucked away in cupboards at home old medicines and drugs we no longer use. But they can really pile up. So, chris, what have we got here . Well, this is medicines that have been returned to us today from one patient. One patient one patient, and its approximately five to six months worth of medication that the patient hasnt been taking routinely. So what are the implications of that . If patients arent taking their medicines as has been prescribed then theyre potentially not going to get the best outcomes from their medication. Pharmacy staff have been busy collecting the treatments handed in at this gp surgery in harrogate, during what theyre calling a medicines amnesty. These boxes and bags filled with old or unused tablets, creams and gels. The drugs amnesty here in harrogate has only been going a few days and theyve already collected all these boxes of used and out of date medicines. Now here they spend around £25 million each year on drugs thats around three million different items. If they managed to save just 1 , thats £250,000 that could go straight back into local health services. But this is notjust about saving money. Now, youre taking 14 medications, arent you . Thats right, yes. And i wonder if it would be usefulfor us to do a medication review today . Its also an opportunity forgps, like sarah, to talk to patients, like evonne, to look at all the medicines she takes every day. It is very important for patients to know that gps or pharmacists can review medications as a whole and ask the patient how theyre managing. We can look at whether theyre managing to remember the tablets, sometimes we can change how we prescribe the tablets, change the timings of the tablets, or the type of medication, so that the medications get used in the way that theyre designed. I need to make sure im on the right thing and anything that can be changed to make life easier is always a good thing. Its important that my tablets are correct and that im taking the right thing. The medicines amnesty and the chance to review whats being prescribed also presents a big opportunity for the wider nhs. We know that 8 of hospital admissions are medicines related. 30 50 of medicines are not taken the way theyre intended. These things are all designed to help you as the patient get the best from your medicine. The nhs spends around £20 billion each year on prescribed medicines, so even a small reduction in whats wasted would save a significant amount of cash while also improving care. Dominic hughes, bbc news, harrogate. Rugbys six nations tournament begins this evening with wales playing in paris, confidently suggesting that if they can win there then nobody can stop them taking the title. But saturdays match in dublin also comes with huge anticipation. Ireland the team to beat take on england. The english, remember, finished last years six nations in fifth. Joe wilson looks ahead. Here is the best Rugby Union Team in europe. Commentator well, these days do not come often. Ireland raised the six nations trophy at twickenham last year, an unmissable statement, and theyve beaten new zealand since then, but as they prepare to play england in dublin tomorrow, they are, apparently, apprehensive. A little bit of fear that you go in to games with and theres no doubt when you play england you have that little bit of fear as to what they can do and we saw a lot of it in the autumn. Well, england have been written off against ireland, according to england. Someones kidding someone, arent they . We dont really care, but the only thing we are aware of is that basically no one outside our camp thinks we can win and everyone inside our camp thinks we can win, so well just wait and see what happens on the weekend. Well, of course, we dont need to wait for the weekend, because wales are in paris to start the tournament tonight. Now, wales won all of their autumn internationals last year, including victories against australia and south africa. If you want confidence, stay with wales. Commentator surely it is i think weve got a good chance of winning the six nations. If we win the first game i think we can win the six nations, given that weve got a home game. So, i havent contemplated anything about anything other than trying to win the six nations. And so to edinburgh. Scotland play italy at murrayfield tomorrow, then ireland at home the following week. The six nations is about momentum and you get that through performances, you get that through results, and we do have a platform playing at home and not having to travel next week to really grab this opportunity. Commentator what a score well, this years womens six nations comes at a fascinating time for the sport. France are the reigning champions, but england are now fully professional, and theres never been more invested trying to win this trophy. Joe wilson, bbc news. And you can watch the opening six nations match on bbc one this evening, with coverage from 7 25pm. Thats live from paris, france versus wales. The comedianjeremy hardy has died from cancer at the age of 57. As well as being a stand up, he was a stalwart of radio shows such as the news quiz and im sorry i havent a clue. In a statement, his publicist said jeremy hardy had retained to the end the principles that guided his life, trying to make the world more humane, and to be wonderfully funny. Here he is giving his thoughts onjogging enthusiasts. Now they dress to impress they need branded gear, they need something high vis in case they have to stop and do some construction work along the way. Laughter. Theyve got to have a baseball cap and sunglasses in what is surely one of the darkest countries in the world. They need to carry water, because half an hour in a freezing Recreation Ground without hydration theyre going to look like a camel carcass in the sahara. Jeremy hardy, who has died at the age of 57. Time for a look at the weather. Heres philip avery. Its mixed fortunes for many people today, not least your children, who are currently tobogganing. Today, not least your children, who are currently tobogganinglj today, not least your children, who are currently tobogganing. I hope, and a bit of homework, thats the beauty of computers, it can come down the wires, i hope youre listening at home. A good afternoon to you, wherever you may be. Of course it isnt all doom and gloom. Once it stops snowing and the sun comes out it can looked like a winter wonderland. They are getting very arty on the south side of glasgow, that some ice balloon, 8 last night under clear skies. A bit further north, what a wonderful sighting of the aurora, but if you are on the move in rush hour, lying snow and ice will be a further consideration. Disruption is distinctly possible because the weather front that brought so much chaos with in recent hours hasnt quite done with this just yet. Certainly for the southern counties, further north, you have your own supply of showers if you fully exposed to the north easterly wind, thats the north and east of scotland, the North Eastern quarter of england, and dont discount whats going onjust of england, and dont discount whats going on just as we speak
