as the UN prepares to send food to thousands of starving people.

A convoy is being readied to head for Madiya tomorrow.

a crime. The partner of the murdered

with Mexico's most wanted, For months the town of Madiya

:01:02.:01:04.

in Syria has been under siege by government forces,

:01:05.:01:34.

and with little access to food, terrible reports have been emerging

:01:35.:01:38.

of how thousands of people there, Children are feared to have died

of starvation, while people have Well tomorrow, the United Nations

and the Red Cross hope a convoy of aid will be allowed to travel

from the capital Damascus to Madiya, and two villages besieged

by rebel forces. Lyse Doucet, who's on Syria's

:01:58.:02:00.

border with Lebanon, has heard new testimony

on the desperate situation in On Lebanon's border, Syria looms

:02:04.:02:19.

with majestic beauty. Just behind the snow capped peaks unfolds

:02:20.:02:25.

Madhya's dark tale. Ssh woman left with her young family two years ago.

:02:26.:02:28.

Her mother, nieces, nephews, are still there. She asked us to blur

:02:29.:02:34.

their faces. TRANSLATION: I haven't seen my

mother in a year-and-a-half. Every time we talk, she breaks down in

tears. I'm only asking for someone to intervene and help people there

:02:45.:02:46.

because what is happening is a crime. They stay in touch by text.

:02:47.:02:53.

They can't get through today. Yesterday, her sister asked, when is

:02:54.:02:58.

the aid coming. Monday, she texted back. Just two more days of

:02:59.:03:02.

starvation, came the reply, thanks be to God. These are the images said

salt and water. It's what many seem to be living on. If you can call

:03:17.:03:23.

this a life. Packets of salt handed out, leaves pulled from trees. We

:03:24.:03:29.

can't verify these images ourselves. Today, on the border, Syrians and

:03:30.:03:35.

Lebanese raised their voices more Madiya. A rebel-held town that's

:03:36.:03:44.

besieged by Syria's army and its Lebanese Hezbollah allies. Madiya is

:03:45.:03:47.

in the eyes of the world. Protests like this are mostly because of the

:03:48.:03:52.

distressed images are merging from inside. Madiya is just one of the

:03:53.:03:59.

places around Syria. Some 400,000 people in all say the authorities

:04:00.:04:03.

not getting any aid at all. This is the place that used to

:04:04.:04:08.

symbolise suffering in Syria, Yarmouk. We returned to its darkest

:04:09.:04:13.

corridor last month. The UN hasn't been able to enter here since June.

:04:14.:04:21.

Some places have never been reached. Today, aid agencies prepare to feed

:04:22.:04:27.

Madiya. Two northernvilleage besieged by opposition forces.

:04:28.:04:31.

That's the deal. In Syria, food is a weapon of war.

:04:32.:04:35.

A British man arrested in Ghana in connection with the killing

:04:36.:04:44.

of his partner, the former Eastenders actress Sian Blake,

:04:45.:04:46.

and their two sons, will appear in court in the morning.

:04:47.:04:49.

Arthur Simpson Kent was detained yesterday at a beach resort.

:04:50.:04:51.

British detectives have begun legal proceedings,

:04:52.:04:54.

to bring him back to the UK for questioning.

:04:55.:04:56.

From Ghana, Alistair Leithead reports.

:04:57.:04:58.

The Ghanaian authorities were keen to show off Arthur Simpson-Kent,

:04:59.:05:04.

the murder suspect in their custody just three days after being told

:05:05.:05:08.

he was in Ghana, and British police wanted to find him.

:05:09.:05:11.

The fugitive is in our custody, awaiting an official request

:05:12.:05:15.

from the British government via the diplomatic channel

:05:16.:05:20.

for his extradition to the United Kingdom.

:05:21.:05:23.

He was arrested yesterday at a remote tourist spot hours

:05:24.:05:26.

Locals who recognised him said it took police a long time to act

:05:27.:05:31.

on tips, but British officers disagreed.

:05:32.:05:33.

I'm satisfied it was done as quickly as we could to have got here.

:05:34.:05:37.

There is nothing we or the Ghanaians could have done quicker to get back

:05:38.:05:42.

The bodies of Sian Blake and her two children were found last week

:05:43.:05:50.

in her back garden, weeks after being reported missing.

:05:51.:05:53.

Their father had travelled to Ghana before Christmas.

:05:54.:05:56.

This beautiful stretch of coast is where Arthur Simpson-Kent came,

:05:57.:05:59.

after apparently visiting his grandmother in Cape coast

:06:00.:06:02.

Little goes unnoticed in this small beach community,

:06:03.:06:07.

When his photographs circulated on social media,

:06:08.:06:14.

He met Mr Simpson-Kent at a cafe owned by a British lady.

:06:15.:06:21.

He said he was going to relocate here.

:06:22.:06:25.

It was three weeks that Arthur Simpson-Kent was here

:06:26.:06:32.

in Ghana before authorities were made aware that police

:06:33.:06:34.

Such is the power of social media that just a few days

:06:35.:06:39.

after his photograph was circulated, the community here in this remote

:06:40.:06:41.

part of coastal Ghana realised it was him.

:06:42.:06:43.

They mobilised police and he was arrested.

:06:44.:06:45.

The fast flow of information and coordination between British

:06:46.:06:48.

The search ended here, but the process to extradite him

:06:49.:06:53.

The first step will be when he appears in court tomorrow.

:06:54.:07:11.

David Cameron as clear as he has been today as to when we will get

:07:12.:07:14.

Does he expect a referendum in the summer?

:07:15.:07:23.

He gave the strongest signal yet that the in-out vote could be as

:07:24.:07:37.

early as June. Here is Ross Hawkins. In or out? The decision could be

:07:38.:07:42.

just months away. My aim is clear, best of both worlds for Britain, the

:07:43.:07:46.

massive prize of sorting out what frustrates us about Europe but

:07:47.:07:49.

staying in a reformed Europe. The prize is closer than it was and I'll

:07:50.:07:53.

work around-the-clock to get that done. He's Loachful he'll secure the

:07:54.:07:58.

prize in Brussels which will mean a referendum in June. If he fails, the

:07:59.:08:02.

vote may not come until next year. After tortuous negotiations in

:08:03.:08:05.

Europe, was the British Government prepared for the possibility of

:08:06.:08:09.

actually leaving the EU? I don't think that is the right answer for

:08:10.:08:13.

the reasons I've given, but were that to be the answer, we'd have to

:08:14.:08:18.

do everything necessary to make that work. We put nit the manifesto. It's

:08:19.:08:23.

the public that will decide this, not the politician. He said this

:08:24.:08:33.

morning there's no plans for brex it. Now, this is actually

:08:34.:08:39.

disgraceful. There are no plans for brexit and that's really serious

:08:40.:08:42.

because it's a complicated operation to carry out if it happens. I'm told

:08:43.:08:48.

there is growing disquiet among Euro-sceptic Cabinet Ministers that

:08:49.:08:52.

while pro-Europeans are encouraged to speak, they for the time being

:08:53.:08:55.

are kept quiet. While David Cameron says he'll stay in his job, however

:08:56.:08:59.

people vote in the referendum, some of his MPs think if Britain votes to

:09:00.:09:04.

leave the EU, he will be forced from Downing Street.

:09:05.:09:12.

The authorities in Mexico say they want to question the American

:09:13.:09:14.

actor Sean Penn, about an interview he conducted with the drug baron

:09:15.:09:17.

It took place in the Mexican jungle while Guzman was a fugitive

:09:18.:09:22.

on the run, having escaped from a maximum security prison.

:09:23.:09:24.

From Mexico City here's Katie Watson.

:09:25.:09:36.

A hand shake that took everyone by surprise, a Hollywood star and a

:09:37.:09:40.

wanted man, until he was caught on Friday after six months on the run,

:09:41.:09:45.

that is. It turns out that vanity played a part in El Chapo's

:09:46.:09:51.

downfall. He wanted to make a film about his life. He'd been in contact

:09:52.:09:56.

with actors and producers, Sean Penn was one. After a brief meeting in a

:09:57.:10:01.

hide out, he recorded an interview answering questions provided by

:10:02.:10:06.

Penn. In it, he blamed his rise to become the violent and feared

:10:07.:10:08.

criminal on his poor background. The man said to be responsible for

:10:09.:10:24.

tens of thousands of deaths through his drug trafficking activities

:10:25.:10:25.

denies he is a man of violence. There is talk in Mexico that contact

:10:26.:10:41.

between the two men may have facilitated El Cphapo's capture.

:10:42.:10:45.

Authorities here and in the US would like to talk to Sean Penn -- El

:10:46.:10:51.

Chapo. The authorities are seeking to extradite him as soon as

:10:52.:10:59.

possible. Mexico is a country sometimes where stories are

:11:00.:10:59.

unbelievable. The Government's Chief Medical

:11:00.:11:05.

Officer, Dame Sally Davies, has urged junior doctors in England

:11:06.:11:08.

to call off a strike She told the Sunday Times

:11:09.:11:11.

she could understand their anger and frustration, but didn't

:11:12.:11:16.

want patients to suffer. The doctors union,

:11:17.:11:19.

the British Medical Association, says strike action demonstrates

:11:20.:11:22.

:14:02.:14:08.

A ceremony has been held in Paris, ending a week of commemorations

:14:09.:14:11.

for the victims of the attacks, on the satirical newspaper

:14:12.:14:13.

Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket a year ago.

:14:14.:14:16.

People gathered in the Place de la Republique, the site of defiant

:14:17.:14:19.

protests against the killings, for a minute's silence.

:14:20.:14:20.

An oak tree has also been planted to commemorate the victims,

:14:21.:14:23.

and those killed in the Paris shootings in November.

:14:24.:14:27.

Thousands of people have held a protest in Hong Kong,

:14:28.:14:30.

over the disappearance of five booksellers thought to be

They're all linked to the same bookshop in Hong Kong,

Senior figures within the Church of England, including seven

:14:44.:14:46.

Archdeacons and eight retired Bishops, are among more than 100

:14:47.:14:50.

signatories to an open letter with, urging the church to acknowledge gay

:14:51.:14:53.

and transgender Christians have been discriminated

:14:54.:14:57.

It comes ahead of a meeting of global Anglican leaders

:14:58.:15:02.

in Canterbury tomorrow, and there are fears differing views

:15:03.:15:05.

Our Religious Affairs Correspondent Caroline Wyatt is there for us.

:15:06.:15:13.

The Anglican communion's made up of over 80 million of the faithful in

:15:14.:15:19.

over 160 countries around the world who look to Canterbury for their

:15:20.:15:26.

leadership. Ever since the liberal Episcopal Church in America

:15:27.:15:31.

consecrated an openly gay bishop over a decade ago, it's intensified.

:15:32.:15:36.

The bant has called the leaders of the churches together around one

:15:37.:15:40.

table to discuss their differences in what is being seen as many as a

:15:41.:15:47.

business strategy. The crypt at Canterbury's heard many heart felt

:15:48.:15:51.

prayers over the centuries. Tonight, there'll be many more as the leaders

:15:52.:15:54.

of the Anglican communion come together to face their divisions

:15:55.:15:57.

over sexuality that have scarred the church.

:15:58.:16:04.

Jane is a leading evangelical Christian who came out as gay. She

:16:05.:16:06.

was behind the letter to the Bishops was behind the letter to the Bishops

:16:07.:16:11.

today. It was sent in the hope that the church can heal some of the hurt

:16:12.:16:15.

felt by gay Christians. I would like to see them repent for the way that

:16:16.:16:19.

they have treated and spoken about us. I would love it for the primates

:16:20.:16:25.

to turn round and say gosh we've got it round. I don't think that's going

:16:26.:16:28.

to happen. There is a significant part of the Church of England who

:16:29.:16:31.

really worry about how the gay community is being treated and want

:16:32.:16:36.

to stand up for them. But attitudes of many African countries and

:16:37.:16:42.

elsewhere were active -- where active homosexuality remains a crime

:16:43.:16:46.

remain difficult to find common ground with opposition to gay

:16:47.:16:50.

marriage and openly gay bishops in some countries. More conservative

:16:51.:16:54.

voices here like the former Bishop of Rochester says the church must

:16:55.:16:58.

stick to its biblical routes. It's about the source of authority,

:16:59.:17:02.

whether we just make it up as we go along or does the church still

:17:03.:17:06.

acknowledge the authority of the Bible and the unanimous teaching of

:17:07.:17:11.

the whole church, not just the Anglican communion for 2,000 years.

:17:12.:17:16.

This Chappell is where many of the primates will gather to pray and

:17:17.:17:21.

reflect this week -- chapel. Many hope they can overcome their

:17:22.:17:26.

divisions. It's hard to see how such radically different views on

:17:27.:17:29.

sexuality can be reconciled, not least while the hutch of England

:17:30.:17:32.

itself is still struggling with just that issue. Some fear that this week

:17:33.:17:38.

could even mark the end for the Anglican communion itself.

:17:39.:17:42.

With all news of today's FA Cup action and the rest of the sport

:17:43.:17:46.

here's Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes at the BBC Sports Centre.

:17:47.:17:49.

The FA Cup 3rd round continued today.

The results are coming now, so you need to leave the room

But their Premier League colleagues Swansea suffered by far the biggest

:18:09.:18:15.

shock losing to League 2's Oxford United.

:18:16.:18:17.

Our Correspondent Andy Swiss has the details.

:18:18.:18:21.

A hefty shock on the day the FA Cup and Oxford delivered a Gooled

:18:22.:18:27.

old-fashioned giant killing. Not that there was much sign of one when

:18:28.:18:33.

Swansea took a sumptuous lead but this back heel -- good

:18:34.:18:38.

old-fashioned. Penalty to Oxford coolly despatched. If that got them

excite, what followed after the break was something else.

:18:43.:18:50.

It's a beauty! Step forward 23-year-old Roof, first fired Oxford

:18:51.:18:58.

exquisitely ahead and minutes later, Roofe raised precisely that! He's

:18:59.:19:05.

scored! The underdogs were in dream land, Swansea did pull one back but

:19:06.:19:12.

it was Oxford's day. Everyone's bouncing and the atmosphere in the

:19:13.:19:15.

crowd, they were going crazy and it's the same in the dressing room

:19:16.:19:20.

now. Chelsea know all about FA Cup upsets but after shock defeat to

:19:21.:19:23.

Bradford last year, there were no such slip ups against Scunthorpe.

:19:24.:19:29.

Costa's early goal eased any nerves and, after the break, Loftus-Cheek

:19:30.:19:33.

sealed a 2-0 win. For all their recent problems, something for the

:19:34.:19:37.

owner to smile about. Leicester City meanwhile looked on

course to continue their impressive form after initially trailing

Tottenham, this solo effort gave them a lead. In the closing minutes,
