thousands of homes have been evacuated in christchurch, new zealand, after two separate fires have combined, covering nearly 5,000 acres. and, a century of the wrens — the navy marks the formation of the women's royal naval service during the first world war. it's 5.00pm. our main story is that a potential deal to end the long—running dispute on southern rail has been rejected by members of the train drivers‘ union, aslef. in a ballot, 54% voted against the proposal which had been negotiated by the union's leaders. southern says it's hugely disappointed and will be seeking more talks as soon as possible. the union is expected to try to renegotiate the deal. but, for the moment, it means there is still no end in sight to the disruption on one of britain's busiest commuter networks. 0ur correspondent, john young, is at brighton railway station where many commuters affected by the southern rail dispute travel from. more from you and what people have been saying there today?” more from

delighted union, the rmt. you have two unions, rmt representing the conductors, giving their wholehearted support to their sister union aslef. the rmt‘s response today was very upbeat. here is one of their train drivers have leaders. had a democratic ballot and voted to reject the deal, which didn't give a guarantee of a second safety person on every train. what we need now to do is get around the table and see if we can come up with a resolution that guarantees a second safety critical person on the train that helps the guard, that helps passengers, helps the driver, passengers vulnerable and disabled passengers, on very, passengers vulnerable and disabled passengers, on very, very passengers vulnerable and disabled passengers, on very, very busy trains. the offer, we are there as a trade

all of us together, get around the table and resolve this dispute. so, after 28 strike days, 13 meetings, 1a days of hopes it might be resolved. a dispute that lasted 10 months we are in a worse position than we were last year in april last year when it began. people who say it doesn't affect me living elsewhere as it's in the south, arriva trains are balloting its rmt members on whether they want to carry out industrial action on this issue. about whether there should be two members of staff on trains instead of one. what is happening here in the south of england could be spreading across the country. john young our correspondent there at brighton station with the latest on the dispute there. the 620 summit, in bonn, is the first summit being attended by the new us secretary of state, rex tillerson. he said america was ready to work with russia if it found common areas for co—operation, but that moscow had to stick to international commitments, including those made on ukraine. president trump has said that he wants to rebuild ties with russia despite allegations that russian intelligence agencies had interfered in the presidential election last year. the russian foreign minister, sergei lavrov, insisted today that russia never interfered in the internal affairs of other states. 0ur correspondent, wyre davies, has the latest. as a former oil executive, with very strong business ties to moscow, this was an almost forensically analysed meeting between rex tillerson and his russian counterpart, sergei lavrov, after which the new american secretary of state indicated the trump administration was keen to work with russia to a point. where we do not see eye to eye, the united states will stand up for the interests and values of america and her allies. as we search for new common ground, we expect russia to honour its commitment to the minsk agreements and work to de—escalate the violence in the ukraine. mr tillerson's words were welcomed by foreign secretary borisjohnson after their bilateral meeting. given the consternation in europe over russia's annexation of crimea and what some see as the threat from moscow. i think rex tillerson's absolutely clear in his view, which is the same as mine — you've got to engage with russia, but you've got to engage in a very guarded way. you've got to beware of what they're up to. there's no question, when you look at russian activity on the cyber front, when you look at what they're doing in the western balkans and when you look at what's been happening in the ukraine, you've got to be very, very cautious. from security to global trade, the uncertainty about where the united states now stands on many big issues is almost unprecedented. but what's unacceptable, says donald trump, is what he calls a biased, discredited media. he's picked out the new york times and cnn, which he accuses of relying too heavily on leaks and alleged ties between his officials and russia to undermine his government. i do think there is not the same rigour going on right now in newsrooms. the number of rubbish stories that we're seeing, with reporters just rushing to publish with thinly sourced or anonymously sourced stories is not doing any favours to the impression that they are out to get donald trump. the president again took to twitter again to attack press coverage but there's also clear undeniable evidence that his withdrew late last night after cross—party opposition in congress. these are testing times for mr trump, less than a month after he took office. wyre davies, bbc news. 0ur correspondent, jenny hill, joins us from berlin. your impression of rex tillerson and the impact he has made today? well, mr tillerson went in, i think, hoping to reassure his counterparts around the 620 table. to a degree, perhaps, he's done that. i think, first of all, when it comes to washington's relationship with the kremlin, certainly, speaking for the europeans around the table, i think there will be a sense of relief that mr tillerson appears to have gone in with a fairly hard stance against the kremlin, saying, we're told by the kremlin, saying, we're told by the french foreign minister, who has been briefing reporters in the last few minutes, that sanctions should only be lifted if russia adheres to the terms of the minsk agreement. coming into line with pretty much the eu's stance when it comes to dealing with russia. relief there. the british have been impressed by him. saying there is absolutely no doubt the us is committed to tackling global problems. 6oing doubt the us is committed to tackling global problems. going back to the french foreign minister, he has been briefing reporters. there is concern there. he says the stance from the new us administration over the middle east is "confused and worrying, particularly when it comes to iran". you will remember that president trump has taken a rather harsher stance than the previous administration on iran and is pretty keen to start again over that nuclear deal that was thrashed out last year. so, perhaps, some concerns there. but, if anything, last year. so, perhaps, some concerns there. but, ifanything, i think most of the people at the table today simply wanted some clarity. what is the new us administration's foreign policy going to look like? they are starting to get some signals. thank you very much. jenny hill with the latest in berlin. joining me now from washington is alina polyakova, who is deputy director of the eurasia centre at the atlantic council. thank you very much for coming in. i'm wondering, from your perspective, what impression did mr tillerson make today and, of course, the very important context for us, in this sense, is what he's had to say about ukraine and russia's impact on that region? well, i think on the one hand tillerson was very cautious in his meeting with lavrov, news media weren't allowed to record his statements. they recorded the state m e nts his statements. they recorded the statements of mr lavrov. i take it he did not say very much, but what was important was the statement he read after the meeting with lavrov, where he signalled that the united states will expect russia to abide by its agreement in the minsk ceasefire negotiations, to remove its military support from the russian—backed separatists fighting there. we have seen an escalation of fighting in that region. many more casualties than we have seen over the last year national football league. —— year and a half. the last year national football league. -- year and a half. in working out that policy, when you think of the line taking by mr tillerson today, the much harder line, if you like, taken byjames mattis in recent months, where do we see the predominant line. who will dictate the sense of this policy in the white house? i think there is a clear emergence and convergence of policy views between rex tillerson and mr mattis they say they will stay in the mainstream of us policy towards europe and their allies for decades under democratic and republican administration. in terms of whether they will have real influence overforeign of whether they will have real influence over foreign policy, of whether they will have real influence overforeign policy, if they will be consulted by the white house, i think it really remains to be seen. with the resignation of national security adviser, mike flynn the white house and the security council remains chaotic. that position will be absolutely key as we see if cabinet secretaries will have influence with the trump administration, notjust secretary of state and secretary of defence. i will watch that new appointment closely. what is the view in moscow, as far as you can tell, in terms of having sanctions lifted. the sanctions imposed because of what went on in ukraine. what is your sense of their own expectations there now? i think, sense of their own expectations there now? ithink, after sense of their own expectations there now? i think, after the elections in november, there was a general elation that we saw coming from officials within the russian government, also russian news media, i think that excitement has been tempered quite a bit. as we have seen, the secretary of defence and secretary of state have made strong and somewhat hawkish remarks on russia that go in line with the established republican policy towards russia. the white house has not supported many of those statements. i will point out that the press secretary did say that sanctions will stay on as long as russia continues to occupy crimea. he did not mention minsk, secretary tillerson did. i don't see prospects for the sanctions coming off soon. europe is committed to sanctions. the administration if they want a better administration with russia will have to go into negotiations with a strong hand of cards to play. if you lift sanctions, that's the main leverage the united states currently has over russia. president trump, who sees himself as a deal maker, i think would not want to give up his leverage so quickly without figuring out what he really wa nts without figuring out what he really wants in return. a final point, on personal relationships and how important they are and certainly, in a russian context, mr lavrov today, we noticed said to mr tillerson — nice to see you again. underlining the fact that mr tillerson has done big business in russia. he has many russian contacts in that business context. russian contacts in that business co ntext. h ow russian contacts in that business context. how important are those personal dynamics? in the post soviet countries, personal relationships are absolutely key for foreign policy negotiations. we know that secretary carey did not have a good personal relationship with sergei lavrov was contentious, cold, guarded. president putin did not have a good personal connection with president 0bama. i think that set the tone for the relations with have seen over the last few years. i think that despite some of the concern about tillerson's previous business relations in russia, he was head of exxon, his knowledge of how russia works, who really has the power and influence in russian politics and how to do business with those kinds of individuals will be a huge asset for him as he moves forward in negotiations. my only hope and advice for the secretary would be that he can take off his exxon hat, where he was responsible to shareholders, and put on his public service hat where he is now responsible to the american people, which of course changes the landscape of negotiations quite dramatically. indeed. good to talk to you. thank you very much for coming in. thank you. alina polyakova, who is deputy director of

the press for their coverage of the ruling which said parliament had to be consulted before the process to leave the eu could be triggered. the president of the supreme court, lord neuberger, also accused politicians of not being quick enough to defend thejudicial process. this from our legal affairs correspondent, clive coleman. when business 1591112371; ” ' ' preventing the government from starting the process without parliament, some in the media saw red. the coverage by parts of the press of the judges that decided the article 50 case, here at the high court against the government, stung and hurt the judiciary, though judges didn't feel that will they could respond without compromising their position. but now, the country's most senior judge, the outgoing president of the supreme court, clearly feels that the time is right to say something. some of the things that were said risked undermining the judiciary and unfairly undermining the judiciary and, therefore, undermining the rule of law. this former tabloid editor disagrees. when you get an important issue, like brexit, being decided by, uniquely, for the first time i think for 43 years by a referendum, you're going to get big reactions on both sides. so i defend the right of a newspaper to give a rather large raspberry to a controversial decision. lord neuberger wasn't impressed by the response of politicians, including the lord chancellor, liz truss, who has the politicians acted slower than one would have hoped and perhaps expressed themselves rather more paladly that one would have hoped. but to be fair to politicians, like judges, they learn and, after the supreme court gave their decision, of law, then the supreme court itself, currently made up of ten white men and one white woman, has faced criticism for a marked lack of diversity. the process of appointing a new president and two newjustices begins today with steps to encourage a diverse range of candidates, including the option of part—time working. that should get a favourable press. clive coleman, bbc news. at least 70 people have been killed in a suicide attack at one of pakistan's most famous religious shrines in

taking vitamin d supplements could prevent more than 3 million people in the uk from getting colds or flu each year. sunshine is needed to produce the vitamin naturally in the skin and levels drop sharply during the winter. the team — from queen mary, university of london — says the vitamin should be added to foods like bread. 0ur health correspondent, dominic hughes, has more details. this is what vitamin d deficiency can look like. softened bones bowing under the weight of the body. in children it can cause rickets. but now researchers say vitamin d may have other benefits apart from strengthening bones. effectively, vitamin d boosts the production of natural antibiotic substances, called antimicrobial peptides, which are toxic to bacteria and viruses. we have shown the effects of vitamin d to prevent respiratory infections are on a par with those of the flu vaccine and that is a significant effect. they argue that if everyone got enough vitamin d there would be a 10% reduction in the risk of respiratory illnesses like coughs, colds and flu. among those with the very lowest levels of vitamin d, the benefit is even greater — a 50% reduction. and across the whole uk population, that would equate to more than 3 million people avoiding a cold orflu each year. sunlight on the skin is the best source of vitamin d but the increased use of sunscreen, and our weather, means exposure in the uk is limited. it is possible to get vitamin d through some foods. for example, cereals, particularly those marketed at children, have vitamin d added as a supplement. you can also get it from oily fish orfrom eggs, although you would have to eat ten every day to ensure you got the right amount. what researchers are arguing is that vitamin d should be added as a supplement to products like milk so that we all get ourfair share. in the winter months, in autumn, and in those groups that are at risk, so people with darker skin or who aren't outside as much, they should take them all year round. while the specific benefits of vitamin d are still being debated, sunshine and supplements seem to be the best sources. the prime minister of new zealand is in christchurch to monitor the efforts to fight a wildfire which has led to the evacuation of hundreds of homes. two separate fires, which began in hills to the south of the city on monday, have combined to cover a total of nearly 5,000 acres. the city's mayor has warned that the fire could pose a threat for several weeks. 0ur correspondent, sangita myska, has the latest. these are the fatal fires that have

second—biggest city. the fire is contained, but not under control. wildfires here are rare, but that's of little comfort now. my neighbours up the hill are absolutely terrified because they're surrounded by forest and gorse and long dried grass, so they're very nervous. we've been up pretty much all night, since we were evacuated, keeping an eye on it. the blackened hillsides are now

manchester united take on st etienne in the first leg of their tie at old trafford. while at six... it's spurs... who have travelled to face 6ent in belgium... a country in which the team have never

saudi arabia and take up he will go to saudi arabia and take upa he will go to saudi arabia and take up a role as head of referee, i understand it will involve refereeing local league games as well. my understanding is he has signed a one—year rolling contract, he gave a press conference in saudi arabia earlier speaking about the professionalisation of refereeing and he is keen to work with the team and he is keen to work with the team and president tikrit structure in saudi arabia to make refereeing successful for many years to come. he is stepping into the former premier league referee

on. it is given arsenal wonderful service, he needs a fresh start but unfortunately we have a board that will not leave the club and says the decision is down to him. it is an uncomfortable limbo andi him. it is an uncomfortable limbo and i would like to see a statement from arsenal sooner rather than later clarifying the position because the unhappiness is no good for anyone. because the

still waiting for the news conference from the white house so... let's return now to the meeting between us secretary of state rex tillerson and his russian counterpart — sergei lavrov —who have met in bonn at the 620 summit. joining me now to discuss us and russian relations under the trump presidency is sir andrew wood — former british ambassador to russia from 1995 to 2000. interesting times. at the 620 summit, let us talk about body language, what you make of rex tillerson's debut? he has great confidence, he knows russia. he knows russia properly, notjust because he had business dealings there. he must realise in talking to sergei lavrov, it is not the person who makes decisions, he may feel questions as to whether he can make any decisions. what he said was good. principally on ukraine? ukraine isa good. principally on ukraine? ukraine is a central issue. there are consequences and if you think about it, there is more for putin to get from an american relaxation than for him to give. i'm not sure he can give anything at all. what would it ta ke give anything at all. what would it take for the americans to decide to relax the sanctions given the fact they would know the situation in ukraine is controversial. a great deal of rather naive faith, the russians give something back for a favour done. they do not. that is not the art of their deal. it is who gets too, not dissimilar to what trump said in his book. they would also get the russians friction in nato, doubt as to what the russian policies of the eu administration would be. too bad to confusion which exists because of what has been going on in the united states. are we in danger of reading too much into the importance of personal contact, the personal dynamic given today mr lover of said to rex tillerson nice to see you again —— sergei lavrov. are those personal mechanism is very important in the russian world ? mechanism is very important in the russian world? yes, one should be careful not to overemphasise. it is a proper way of proceeding to ask about family and how are you rather than going straight into some heavy piece of business. it is an essential preliminary. the russians will not do you any favours because they like you, they want to know what you can produce. yes, it is good, but the way the president trump emphasises he has a good personal relationship with putin, i do not know if he has even met him properly... it is the expectation of it. he says if he doesn't, he will be tough with him. it is a necessary preliminary, not a factor in itself. we have seen weeks of uncertainty and turmoil in this white house, since president trump came to power. what will they be making of that in the kremlin, what will they be seeing in terms of their opportunities in this context, they know president trump wants to be seen as a strong leader and decisive, how will they regard the possibilities in this arena? firstly, they will not see him as a decisive leader. tweeting is usually a big mistake, even in a personal life too much but certainly to try to runa life too much but certainly to try to run a country by direct immediate and changing control is different from running a company. so, the president has to learn how to work with the institutions in his own country, notably congress and the judiciary and the intelligence agencies or he will be flying blind to the whole time. the important thing about rex tillerson as secretary of state and general matters is also important, is to help them do that, we'll have to see whether he can do or not. —— mattis. and where russia perceives the power to light, you have general mattis, rex tillerson, president trump himself. where will the russians be focusing on in terms of trying to get leverage? were busy rex tillerson as someone who is a front man or somebody who does not make big decisions —— will they see rex tillerson... big decisions —— will they see rex tillerson. .. ? they big decisions —— will they see rex tillerson... ? they would be wiser to see him as the latter. most of the temperament will be on the assumption the president calls the shots in the united states the way the president in russia undoubtedly does. secondly, they will see him as someone who is intrinsically sympathetic to them and has believed a lot of their contentions in ukraine and so on. he is changeable. until he really settles into a proper chain of authority within the white house and beyond, and until he comes to some sort of thought through set of policies about russia, i do not think they will be impressed. interesting to torture you. thank you for coming in. sir andrew wood, former ambassador to moscow. some views andrew wood, former ambassador to moscow. some views on andrew wood, former ambassador to moscow. some views on the dynamics of the 620 summit today. we still expect president ron to appear at the news conference in the white house. —— president trump. the malaysian authorities have confirmed that the man who died after being poisoned at kuala lumpur airport — is the half—brother of the north korean leader, kim jong—un. three people, two women and a man, are now in custody in connection with his death on monday. from kuala lumpur — our correspondent karishma vaswani reports. it has been three days since the mysterious death of a man is north korean leader kimjong un's half—brother kim jong—nam, travelling on another passport. i think he carries two different identities. probably this is an undercover document. this is an authentic passport. two women, one shown here in police custody, have been arrested so far. officials say one is an indonesian, while the other was carrying a vietnamese passport. a third suspect, a malaysian male, has also been detained. but we don't know what they have to do with kim jong—nam's death and we still don't know how he died or what he was doing in malaysia, but we do know that he did come here fairly frequently. we understand this is one of the restaurants kimjong—nam used to frequent when he was in malaysia. the owner said that he would regularly come here and would regularly bring bodyguards as well. i spoke to the owner of the restaurant on the phone. he was too scared to speak in person. did kim jong—nam ever tell you that he was worried for his life, that someone might kill him? but at the north korean embassy in kuala lumpur, all was quiet. instead, the focus in pyongyang has been on the 75th celebrations of kim jong—il‘s birth. 9—254“? £514.12 egg- who runs a support group for carers, says it's much harder to get now. when michael first came into the system, it was a lot easier, because we had our own care manager that grew to know us and could help support us in what we needed, whereas today, people coming into the system don't get that type of support, they don't have their own care manager. today's report by age uk says, since 2010, in england, there has been a rise of 50% in the number of elderly people who don't get the help they need with essential daily activities. these are getting out of bed, bathing, dressing, using the toilet, walking across a room and eating. the charity's particularly concerned about more than 50,000 people who struggle with three or more of these activities and receive no support at all. while social care is run in different ways across the uk, cuts have meant councils in england have had to reduce the amount they spend on social care, and age uk says emergency funding is now needed to avert a complete collapse of services in some areas. we are seeing the beginnings of something that's going to get a lot worse. and that's because, if there is going to be any extra money for social care, it's not coming yet. that is a real concern because, every day we have an ageing population, we have more people over 85, in particular, who need care. the government says it recognises the pressures on the system and is working on a sustainable solution. there is now a growing expectation another look at what is happening in the white house. a few empty rows, the white house. a few empty rows, the rest of the room is packed with journalists who have been waiting for the news conference to start. basically we expect president trump to be naming his latest nominee for the important post of labour secretary, his previous nominee dropped out because it seems there was not enough support for him in the senate. so, we expect president trump to announce his latest nominee and he may have a few things to say about the process and the fact he has complained persistently recently about the slowness of the process of getting his full cabinet into position because of some of the nominees have been questioned pretty closely by senators for their super —— for their suitability or conflict of interest. we will see in a few moments what the president has to say and he will name his latest nominee for labor secretary. the president of general note —— 6eneral motors has flown to london to hold crisis talks with the government and trade unions amid fears thousands of jobs could be lost. a rival french company is in talks with general motors about taking over the european business, there is concern about what that could mean for vauxhall‘s plants in luton and ellesmere port. simon jack vauxhall‘s plants in luton and ellesmere port. simonjack is in westminster. what has been said? well, the government is taking this deadly seriously, fresh from meeting the president of general motors who flew in to have a meeting, the business secretary got straight donna traynor and is in paris and as we speak is meeting with his opposite number in paris —— straight ona train. opposite number in paris —— straight on a train. he will meet with the board of the french company that owns citron and peugeot in europe and these are the potential acquirers of 0pel in germany and vauxhall here. i think we are heading for a 3—way fight for jobs across the group between the uk 6overnment, across the group between the uk government, the french government and german government and that will be tough because the french government owns 14% of ps a and the peugeot family owns 14% and if you add that to the fact the german... it is three morrow times expense to sack workers in germany than here so the secretary of state has a fight on his hands. to underline that, 6reg clark is to travel to paris tonight to meet with peugeot executives, more about what message will be taking? well, he will say this is a productive place, where a massive market for vauxhall cars, 80% of the vauxhall astras made here are exported to europe and everyone understands there is much too much carmaking capacity in europe and if you put together vauxhall, 0pel and peugeot and you have to take some of the cost out so the question will be where and that is why you would have a 3—way tussle for jobs between where and that is why you would have a 3—way tussle forjobs between the governments and with the french governments and with the french government and french family having such a big shareholder —— shareholding in the company they start in pole position. he will be trying to say we have an industrial strategy, aiming for the best access for the car industry, or the assurances he gave to nissan so successfully, whether we will have as much success with the german and french axis remains to be seen. len mccluskey, the leader of the unite union today and asked them what assurances he got and he said he didn't get any and they had only really spoken to general motors and if they are selling, it is not their decision. the balls are in the courts of the acquiring company, peugeot citroen and the french and 6erman industries will fight bitterly to preserve jobs 6erman industries will fight bitterly to preservejobs in 6erman industries will fight bitterly to preserve jobs in their respective areas. 6reg clark will be outnumbered, there are two plants in the uk, 22 in the combined group in continental europe so he has a big job on his hands. many thanks. 100,000 million million miles away and scientists are determined to photograph the massive black hole that they believe is at the centre of our galaxy. they built the worlds biggest telescope to try to do that. palla b biggest telescope to try to do that. pallab 6hosh has this exclusive report. he has had access. this is our galaxy, the milky way. a swirl of stars and planets including our own earth. at its centre it has a heart of darkness, a supermassive black hole. it's an object with immense gravity that pulls in everything around it. it's so strong that it even sucks in light. in a few weeks' time, researchers here will try and take a picture of it. so, there's a tonne of excitement around getting this picture, we are all really looking forward to getting the data in april and making that first picture. and not only because it's going to be supercool to take the first picture of a black hole and see it looks like, the immediate environment around a black hole, so how are scientists down here on earth going to see the black hole that is so far away? no simple telescope is powerful enough, so 12 of them, all around the world, will be linked together, and the images they collect will be fed into a computer in boston. now, our galaxy is a vast spiral with the earth here on one of the arms, and the black hole is right at the centre, 153,000 million million miles away. it's four and a half million times the mass of our sun. no one has ever seen it but scientists think it looks something like this. and very soon they'll find out if they're right. it's a mind—boggling amount of data stored on dozens of hard drives flown in from telescopes all across the world. it will take the team here months to go through all the information. it isa it is a massive quantity of data and we have to record onto many hard drives. this is a module that contains very large hard drives and this module holds as much data as 100 laptops. we have to record on multiple modules at anyone telescope and we have numerous telescopes that are recording simultaneously. in total, we collect enough data to fill 10,000 laptops. the project is the brainchild of professor shep doeleman, who waited 20 years for this moment. black holes have been mysteries forever. it's been almost a holy grail for astronomers to be able to image and probe the area right around the point of no return, the event horizon of the black hole. what we're going to learn is how black holes feed and swallow some of it and grow in size. the scientists here may have their first image by christmas. and it'll help them discover how galaxies are created and what the centre of our own milky way is really like. pallab 6hosh, bbc news, boston. a century ago — the women's royal naval service was founded — to boost the naval effort during the first world war. it was the start of a hugely significant change in the role of women in the armed forces. wrens — as they became known — served as dispatch riders, telegraphists, cooks, stewards — and went on to play key roles in the navy, in the second world war and beyond. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy reports from portsmouth — where events will be held throughout the year.
