The music world is paying tribute to Chuck Berry -

:00:20.:00:23.

the guitarist and songwriter who, for many, invented rock and roll -

:00:24.:00:26.

The Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger said Berry had been an inspiration

:00:27.:00:32.

who had lit up his teenage years and blew life into the Stones'

:00:33.:00:36.

David Sillito looks back at his life.

:00:37.:00:42.

# Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

:00:43.:00:44.

# Way back up in the woods among the evergreen

:00:45.:00:47.

# There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

:00:48.:00:49.

# Where lived a country boy named Johnny B Goode...#

:00:50.:00:52.

# It's a jumpin' little record I want my jockey to play...#

:00:53.:01:04.

If any one person could claim to have invented rock'n'roll,

:01:05.:01:09.

# Maybellene, why can't you be true...#

:01:10.:01:14.

His formula - take rhythm and blues, mix it with country and add electric

:01:15.:01:18.

guitar, and sing about the stuff that teenagers care about.

:01:19.:01:22.

Half of the young people go to school.

:01:23.:01:25.

Half of the people have cars, I wrote about cars and mostly

:01:26.:01:30.

all the people, if they're not now, they'll soon be in love.

:01:31.:01:35.

Charles Berry was born in St Louis, Missouri.

:01:36.:01:37.

As a teenager, he spent time in prison for armed robbery,

:01:38.:01:40.

he married young, trained as a hairdresser

:01:41.:01:42.

It was Muddy Waters who suggested he record a song

:01:43.:01:50.

Of course, he was only one of many rock'n'roll pioneers.

:01:51.:01:58.

And another spell in prison, a conviction for immorality

:01:59.:02:00.

with a 14-year-old girl, halted his career.

:02:01.:02:05.

# Up in the mornin' and out to school #

:02:06.:02:08.

When he re-emerged, he discovered that his sound

:02:09.:02:10.

He was, though, something of a loner.

:02:11.:02:14.

He would often turn up and play with whoever was around.

:02:15.:02:17.

Sometimes, he wouldn't even hand out a set list.

:02:18.:02:20.

He knew everyone would know the songs.

:02:21.:02:23.

And he wasn't always easy to get on with,

:02:24.:02:26.

as his fan, Keith Richards, found out.

:02:27.:02:29.

I've been living for 60 years with it!

:02:30.:02:32.

But is it going to be here, after we're

:02:33.:02:37.

But, as John Lennon said, if you wanted to give rock'n'roll

:02:38.:02:45.

another name, you might call it Chuck Berry.

:02:46.:02:54.

Chuck Berry, who has died at the age of 90.

:02:55.:02:58.

The NHS is facing a "mission impossible" to meet the standards

:02:59.:03:01.

and targets required by the Government,

:03:02.:03:04.

that's according to the organisation which represents health

:03:05.:03:06.

For the first time, NHS providers says the money allocated

:03:07.:03:12.

for the next financial year beginning in April is not enough

:03:13.:03:16.

to meet growing patient demand and will make it difficult if not

:03:17.:03:20.

impossible to meet targets like A waiting times.

:03:21.:03:22.

It's been a winter of unprecedented strain on the NHS,

:03:23.:03:29.

with hospitals full - or close to it - and patient

:03:30.:03:31.

The Budget earlier this month included new funding for social care

:03:32.:03:37.

and investment in A units in England.

:03:38.:03:40.

NHS providers representing hospitals and other trusts said that may ease

:03:41.:03:44.

some of the pressure, but there'll still be a yawning gap

:03:45.:03:47.

in the resources needed just to keep services ticking over.

:03:48.:03:52.

This is the first time in recent NHS history that trusts are saying

:03:53.:03:55.

they cannot deliver the key accident and emergency and elective surgery

:03:56.:03:58.

That's before the year has even started.

:03:59.:04:03.

That's the first time ever that's actually happened.

:04:04.:04:06.

The warning comes after the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt,

:04:07.:04:14.

said hospitals in England should get back to the target of seeing

:04:15.:04:16.

or assessing 95% of patients in A within four hours.

:04:17.:04:20.

It's not going to be overnight, but it is essential.

:04:21.:04:24.

I am expecting the NHS to return to that target during the course

:04:25.:04:27.

But NHS providers say it's unprecedented to warn,

:04:28.:04:35.

even before the financial year begins, that, on current planned

:04:36.:04:38.

budgets, the A standard and others can't be met.

:04:39.:04:44.

The organisation says there will be big increases in the number

:04:45.:04:46.

of patients in England who lose out because key targets are missed,

:04:47.:04:50.

with 1.8 million waiting more than four hours in A and 100,000

:04:51.:04:53.

waiting more than 18 weeks for routine surgery.

:04:54.:04:59.

The Department of Health said the comments fail to acknowledge

:05:00.:05:01.

that the NHS has a strong plan to improve performance and that

:05:02.:05:05.

staff were working hard to treat thousands more people each year

:05:06.:05:08.

North Korea's state media says its military has tested a new

:05:09.:05:18.

The announcement came during a visit to China

:05:19.:05:21.

by the US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

:05:22.:05:23.

Mr Tillerson told China's president, Xi Jinping, that President Trump

:05:24.:05:28.

looks forward to enhancing understanding between

:05:29.:05:30.

A one-year-old boy has died and his twin sister

:05:31.:05:37.

is in a critical condition after they were found with serious

:05:38.:05:40.

Police, who were called to a flat in Finsbury Park,

:05:41.:05:44.

are trying to find out what happened.

:05:45.:05:46.

Victims of sexual assault and rape will no longer have to go

:05:47.:05:52.

through the ordeal of giving evidence in court under changes

:05:53.:05:55.

being brought forward by the Justice Secretary, Liz Truss.

:05:56.:05:59.

From September, the cross-examination of alleged victims

:06:00.:06:01.

will be pre-recorded and played to the jury.

:06:02.:06:05.

It follows a trial involving child victims who said the system made

:06:06.:06:08.

them feel less pressured and better able to recall events.

:06:09.:06:14.

The Liberal Democrat leader, Tim Farron, has accused Theresa May

:06:15.:06:16.

of pursuing nationalist and protectionist policies that

:06:17.:06:20.

will badly damage Britain when it leaves the EU.

:06:21.:06:23.

He's told his party's spring conference Mrs May's decision

:06:24.:06:26.

to seek a hard Brexit wasn't what people had voted

:06:27.:06:29.

If I were a business person, who had given money to today's

:06:30.:06:36.

Conservative Party, I would demand my money back.

:06:37.:06:40.

You were sold a free-market, international, pro-business party.

:06:41.:06:45.

What you got is protectionism, nationalism, economic vandalism.

:06:46.:06:48.

Stuart Flinders is in York where the conference is being held

:06:49.:06:54.

Tim Farron seeming to be positioning himself to be attractive as the Lib

:06:55.:07:05.

Dems to some Tory voters who are not happy with the way Theresa May was

:07:06.:07:10.

handling Brexit? That was the pitch for the business vote but he is

:07:11.:07:14.

appealing more widely to voters on the centre-left. The Lib Dems only

:07:15.:07:18.

have nine seats in parliament but they point to the fact that

:07:19.:07:22.

membership is higher now than it has been the 20 years and there was a

:07:23.:07:27.

surge in members during the time of the European referendum and the

:07:28.:07:30.

election of Donald Trump and they say that a significant. He painted a

:07:31.:07:34.

stark picture of change across the world today and he positioned the

:07:35.:07:39.

Conservatives under Theresa May as part of an emerging consensus on the

:07:40.:07:46.

political right characterised by nationalism, authoritarianism and

:07:47.:07:49.

protectionism. He compared Theresa May to Vladimir Putin and Donald

:07:50.:07:54.

Trump, and threw in the name of Marine Le Pen, the French National

:07:55.:07:58.

Front for good measure. The point is his party, in this country at least,

:07:59.:08:04.

has become the home in absence of effective opposition from Labour of

:08:05.:08:05.

the disillusioned. Thank you. The RAC is warning most drivers

:08:06.:08:09.

buying new cars will face increased Among the worst hit will be those

:08:10.:08:11.

purchasing greener, more environmentally-friendly hybrid

:08:12.:08:15.

vehicles - some of which will attract road tax -

:08:16.:08:18.

or vehicle excise duty, as it's now formally known -

:08:19.:08:22.

for the first time, as our business correspondent

:08:23.:08:24.

Joe Lynam explains. Car drivers were encouraged to go

:08:25.:08:34.

green by Gordon Brown in the early 2000s. He wanted us to drive cars

:08:35.:08:39.

with low carbon emissions in return for paying less road tax and in some

:08:40.:08:44.

cases nothing. But from next month that's about to change with road tax

:08:45.:08:50.

increasing for new, greener cars. Most cars bought from April the 1st

:08:51.:08:55.

will pay an initial charge depending on their emissions and then ?140

:08:56.:09:00.

after that every year. It means hybrid cars will have to pay ?130 in

:09:01.:09:07.

road tax, and cars costing ?40,000 or more will face an additional

:09:08.:09:12.

premium, but luckily new duties will have no effect on cars already on UK

:09:13.:09:17.

roads. Already we are hearing dealerships have been very busy in

:09:18.:09:21.

the build-up to this change, people are trying to get in there before

:09:22.:09:25.

they will be hit by the extra cost, but we are expecting afterwards

:09:26.:09:34.

there to be a lull, particularly hitting hybrid car sales. The

:09:35.:09:38.

Government says the new vehicle excise duty will be fair to

:09:39.:09:41.

motorists, good for the environment and improve air quality by

:09:42.:09:45.

encouraging the take-up of cleaner vehicles. This is a plug-in hybrid

:09:46.:09:49.

vehicle which means when it is running on its battery it doesn't

:09:50.:09:54.

emit any noxious gases at all but if you buy this vehicle from people you

:09:55.:09:58.

will be paying ?440 per year more than if you bought it today. Some

:09:59.:10:04.

people believe that will dis- incentivise people from buying green

:10:05.:10:06.

cars. You can see more on all of today's

:10:07.:10:08.

stories on the BBC News Channel. The next news on BBC

:10:09.:10:12.

One is at 5.30pm. Hello, it is fair to say it has been

:10:13.:10:28.

pretty mild across much of the country this weekend. We have had a

:10:29.:10:32.

lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain, it is looking pretty soggy through

:10:33.:10:35.

Central parts of the UK through this morning as it has been across parts
