The Government is set for its second defeat in a week | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Peers are expected to vote for MPs to have more than just a yes or no | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
We'll be looking at how embarrassing this is for the Government | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
and whether it's likely to make any difference to the final outcome. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
The Government is facing the prospect of another defeat | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
in the House of Lords over the process of leaving the EU. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
Peers are expected to vote for Parliament to be given | :01:34. | :01:40. | |
A legal guarantee of a vote on the final Brexit deal. That is, they | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
want MPs to have more than a simple yes or no on the final negotiation. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
It will be the second defeat in a week for the Government | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg has been | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
It is Theresa May's team... Do you think Parliament should have a | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
meaningful vote? Who do not want to give Parliament a promise in | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
writing, against the other team, in the Lords, where they are voting to | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
try to force the Prime Minister to give a foul in law that Parliament | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
will have the final say on the eventual deal on Brexit. -- vow. We | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
are taking a more principled stand in the House of Commons. Theresa May | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
said there would be a vote in both houses on the package she | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
negotiated. That is meaningful. I don't think there should be any plan | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
to try to overthrow Brexit. We must accept it. But they must accept the | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Parliamentary system. The Prime Minister has already promised the | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Commons and the Lords a say on the final terms of our exit from the | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
European Union. So what is the fuss? Frankly, not all peers believe the | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
promise. They want it in black and white, written into this bill. They | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
want it to be a legal and binding promise. This bill will be further | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
considered on report. But a majority of the Lords believed we should have | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
voted to stay in the European Union. So there is a suspicion in | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
government they are trying to cause trouble. Senior ministers are | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
keeping an eye on them today, and their Lordships are in rare | :03:16. | :03:22. | |
crotchety form. When it comes to our rights, Parliament is the place you | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
come to. The reason is simple, we don't trust the Government on this | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
matter. This country's future should rest with Parliament, and not with | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
ministers. But the government's supporters question the motive. Does | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
he agree that this new clause, in effect, gives this house a statutory | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
veto on the decision made by the Prime Minister, with the support of | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
the other place, to implement the decision of the British people to | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
leave the European Union? This house is absolutely full of people that | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
still have not come to terms with the results of the referendum. This | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
is a clever confection in order to reverse the results of the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
referendum. Despite their detractors, in and outside | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Parliament, the Lords, in their rather stately manner, will not let | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
their objections be pushed away. The Lords are now, in the last few | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
minutes of this debate, approaching what is it really crucial vote for | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
the government. I have just seen David Davis scurrying to the House | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
of Lords, maybe to keep an eye on them as they close things down. It | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
is very likely the Government will have the embarrassment of being | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
defeated again by the Lords on this Brexit bill. We are expecting quite | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
a hefty majority, maybe as much as a gap of 100. It doesn't seem right | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
now that Theresa May is ready to budge on the issue of giving a legal | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
guarantee to Parliament on the final terms of the EU exit steel. It feels | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
that, at this stage, she is more likely to test the will of the Tory | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
rebel MPs, the handful of them. Are they really courageous enough on | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
this issue to stand up to the Prime Minister? There is a lot at stake. | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
It is vital for Theresa May to get this legislation through the House | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
of Commons in the next week or so, to stick to her timetable of pushing | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
the button on Brexit at the end of March. | :05:22. | :05:23. | |
Money for new grammar schools in England is to be announced | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
They will be among 140 free schools set up using a budget | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
of ?320 million in this parliament and the next. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Grammar schools are a key education policy of the Government but Labour | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
has attacked the plans as a vanity project and says many schools that | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
Our education editor Branwen Jeffreys reports. | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
Before the number crunching of the budget, a visit | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
A little extra money for her education priorities, | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
a signal to schools generally not to hope for more. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
We have protected the core schools budget, but, crucially, | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
what we are announcing is half a billion pounds | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
of investment in schools, 320 million of which | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
That will create around 70,000 new school places. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
The way they learn here, the model for more maths schools - | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
something she wants as part of her industrial strategy. | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
They do select their pupils, but only at the age of 16. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
This is not a grammar school, but a sixth form that pushes budding | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
We know that what we've done here for students who have this | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
interest in mathematics and mathematical sciences has | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
enabled transformation of those students. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
Different futures, better futures for them, and therefore better | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
So, having more schools like that is exactly what we need. | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
Education is all about creating a sense of opportunity, | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
the hope that what your children learn will give them a better | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
And that's what the Prime Minister is trying to tap into at a time when | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
This is all about the politics now, and very little | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
The ?320 million will pay for 110 new schools after 2020. | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
That's on top of the 500 already promised before 2020. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
So, ?7 billion is already allocated for new places in this Parliament. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
What's new is that some could now be grammar schools. | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
It's not a lot of extra money, and won't help with the financial | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
pressures facing most schools in England. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
The Government spending plans don't begin to address the real | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
We have buildings that are falling down, we've got a teacher | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
We can't get enough teachers into the classroom and we can't | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
Traditional values and excellence - for some, that's what | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
But others fear this is opportunity for the few, not the many. | :07:55. | :08:06. | |
A British woman is being treated in hospital in Australia | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
after she was allegedly raped and assaulted while being held | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
Police say the woman - who was backpacking | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
across Queensland - was found when police stopped | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
the vehicle she was driving and discovered her attacker hiding | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
Moments before her ordeal would end, this CCTV footage shows the woman | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
at a petrol station, her face bruised, | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
She left without paying for her fuel. | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
When the police then pulled over the 4x4 | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
she was driving, they could tell there | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
She told them how for weeks she had been violently abused. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Officers say they found the man accused of holding | :08:45. | :08:46. | |
At this point, we don't want to speculate, but it is fair | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
A lot of the areas where she would have been would have | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
been unknown to her, and she wouldn't have known anyone | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
there, so it would have been difficult for her to make an escape, | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
and if she had, then to try and link up with people. | :09:05. | :09:06. | |
From the information we've been provided, | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
she had very limited opportunity to try and do that, anyway. | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
Officers believe her passport was destroyed. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
The man has been charged with multiple counts of rape, | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
The woman is receiving hospital treatment. | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
She's spoken to her family back in the UK but may need to remain | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
here to give more evidence so the police can piece together | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
An investigation by BBC News has found that Facebook is failing | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
to remove many sexualised images of children - even | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
Facebook says nudity or other sexually suggestive content is not | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
But of 100 such images and content that the BBC | :09:51. | :09:57. | |
reported to Facebook, only 18 were deleted. | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
A senior MP now says he has grave doubts about the effectiveness | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
of Facebook's ability to monitor its content. | :10:03. | :10:03. | |
Our correspondent Angus Crawford has the story. | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
The rules are meant to be simple - Facebook says it removes nudity | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
But our investigation last year found paedophiles using secret | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
groups to swap obscene images of children. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
We informed the police, and this man was sent | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
Facebook told us it had improved its systems. | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
So, a year on, we put that to the test. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
But we still found whole groups dedicated to sexualised images | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
of children, where men posted obscene comments. | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
In every single one of these images, there is a real child | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
who is out there today - at school, probably - | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
and they don't know that their image is being used in this way. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
We also found users discussing how to share more serious | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
We reported 100 posts that appeared to break Facebook's own guidelines. | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
They didn't breach of Facebook's community standards. | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
I find that content unacceptable, and this report, this investigation, | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
it casts grave doubt on the effectiveness of the measures | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
One former insider says moderation is a huge task. | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
I think the biggest challenge here is one of scale. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
No-one has ever policed a site as large as Facebook. | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
The company is effectively running the largest police | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
Facebook asked us to send them examples of what we had | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
The company then reported us to the police. | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
Facebook issued a statement, saying: | :11:57. | :11:57. | |
the content referred to us and have now removed all the items that were | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
It is against the law for anyone to distribute images | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
This matter is now in the hands of the authorities. | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
So, where does this leave concerned parents? | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
It sends a very clear message that, actually, you can't trust Facebook's | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
reporting mechanism, and I think parents get | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
Even now, groups with inappropriate images and comments about children | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
Questions about how the company moderates | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
The head of BMW UK has cast further doubt over whether it | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
will build an electric version of the Mini in Britain. | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
Peter Schwarzenbauer says the impact of Brexit will be a factor | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
Our business editor Simon Jack reports from the Geneva car show, | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
where he has been speaking to the bosses of some of the UK's | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
The car industry's newest and flashest models were on display | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
in Geneva today, trying to catch the eye of a global audience | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
But, in the here and now, it's more familiar models that | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
Vauxhalls are made at Ellesmere Port and Luton, and their fate will soon | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
be down to this man, who already runs | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
He says Vauxhall has a future, even if Brexit results in trade | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
If we were talking about this scenario, a hard Brexit, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
with customs duties and all that stuff, then it would be, of course, | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
an opportunity for us to have a UK sourcing to source for the UK. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Of course, for that to happen, we also need to have the supplier | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
base being developed in the UK so that the cost structure would be | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
in pounds, the revenue structure would be in pounds, | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
and for that to happen, we would need the support | :13:48. | :13:49. | |
BMW makes Minis in Cowley near Oxford. | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
It will start production of an electric version in 2019. | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
It has to decide where to do that very soon. | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
We want to see a tariff-free environment where goods, | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
services and in fact people could move freely across borders. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
And somewhere around the middle to third quarter of the year, | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
we will actually make the decision as to where the Mini is produced. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
The most important fact about these cars is not really how fast they go, | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
or how many miles they do to the gallon. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
The most important fact is, where are they made? | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
Automotive jobs, creating them, preserving them, is important | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
to politicians all over the world, and no more so than in | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
The car companies know that, and in the to keep jobs, | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
some goverments have been prepared to go to great lengths | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Nissan makes 500,000 cars a year in Sunderland. | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
In October last year, it committed to increasing | :14:48. | :14:49. | |
investment after reassurance the Government would | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
ensure the plant remained competitive after Brexit. | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
Since then, the Prime Minister has said no deal would be better | :14:56. | :14:57. | |
That raised concerns in the car industry that the UK would fall back | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
on international trade rules, which could mean high tariffs. | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
So, how solid is Nissan's commitment today? | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
Governments in the UK have a tradition to honour | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
their commitments, so we believe it, and we feel good about it. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
This being said, we will have to wait until Brexit has been | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
negotiated and we see the conditions of the new status before giving | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
The effects of global competition are felt locally. | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
According to the boss of PSA, it's a competition where there | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
Everybody is asking for protection, and the only honest answer | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
If you increase your level of performance, you become the best. | :15:38. | :15:45. | |
If you become the best, there is no risk. | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
A simple guide to survival in the car industry. | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
The Government is facing another defeat in the House | :15:52. | :16:07. | |
Coming up: I'm with English cricket's new fast-bowling, | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
We are at Lord's, but it's not a Test match. | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
Coming up in Sportsday in the next 15 minutes | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
It's a three match ban for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
The Manchester United striker accepted a charge of violent conduct | :16:23. | :16:24. | |
after elbowing Bournemouth's Tyrone Mings in the head. | :16:25. | :16:36. | |
As so-called Islamic State fighters are gradually being driven out | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
of their stronghold in Iraq, the scale of their atrocities | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
is being revealed against one ethnic group in particular. | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
The Yazidi people are ethnic Kurds whom IS have given two | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
The UN Human Rights Commission has called it genocide. | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
5000 people so far are believed to have been killed. | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Over 3000 mostly women and children are being held captive, | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
Thousands of men and boys are missing. | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
Some Yazidis have managed to escape and seek sanctuary in Germany. | :17:07. | :17:16. | |
Naomi Grimley reports from one refuge hidden deep in a forest | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
A secret location in south-west Germany. | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
80 Yazidi women and children now live in this safe house | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
after being violently persecuted by so-called Islamic State | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
These two boys were captured by the extremists and | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
sent to a military training camp, aged just 14 and 16. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
TRANSLATION: The training was about weapons. | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
We learned how to load and fire a weapon. | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
We would do exercises, crawling under barbed | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
TRANSLATION: To learn how to fire a gun on human | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
beings, they took us to big graves where they had the dead bodies of | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Muslim traitors, spies of the regime, or those who took drugs. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
They said we have to fire on the bodies to get used to it. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
They quickly changed your mind and made | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
I bet, not just me, even a man's mind would have | :18:16. | :18:18. | |
After a year, a smuggler helped them escape the camp. | :18:19. | :18:32. | |
TRANSLATION: By God, I knew it was dangerous, | :18:33. | :18:33. | |
but there was nothing left to be afraid of. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
When you lose everything, you have nothing left. | :18:37. | :18:43. | |
More than 1000 Yazidis have been given refuge | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
by the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg. | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
Here, they can get counselling to help overcome their | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
And, should they wish to stay, they are also given a chance | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
Nothing replaces home, but at least it's far | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
away from those religious zealots who are trying to wipe them out. | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
Naomi Grimley, BBC News, south-west Germany. | :19:10. | :19:21. | |
Tomorrow, the lawyer acting on behalf of the Yazidis | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
will address the UN in New York and call for a formal investigation | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Amal Clooney, whose husband is the Hollywood film | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
star George Clooney, told me why she has decided | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
to represent the Yazidis, and why their cause | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
I've been to refuges in Germany, like the one you showed | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
in your piece, and I've interviewed former child soldiers and young | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
girls who were raped and enslaved by Isis. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
It's been the most harrowing testimony had ever heard. | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
In other words, Isis is trying to destroy them as a group. | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
We are allowing it to happen without actually calling Isis to account. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
So, what do you think can be done, practically, to bring | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
The first step that should be taken is for evidence to be | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
collected on the ground, because we know that | :20:12. | :20:12. | |
So, there are mass graves that are being discovered. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
Just a few days ago, in Mosul, a huge mass grave | :20:17. | :20:18. | |
that is thought to have 4000 bodies in it was discovered. | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
There are other types of evidence as well. | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
You know, Isis is actually a big bureaucracy, believe it or not, | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
and they are leaving behind documents. | :20:28. | :20:28. | |
You need to collect DNA, you need to collect phone records. | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
None of that is being done at the moment. | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
You are going to the UN this week, what are you going to be saying? | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
I'm addressing the UN on the issue of accountability and saying | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
So, why do you think they're not doing it? | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
This is exactly the question that I'll be posing to member states. | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
I'm going to ask them, are the crimes not serious enough | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
You know, do you think there is no evidence for you to collect? | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
That's not right either, there are mass graves whose | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
locations are known, you can start there. | :21:05. | :21:05. | |
The fact that you are now not just a human rights lawyer, but known | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
obviously because of your marriage to one of Hollywood's biggest stars, | :21:10. | :21:11. | |
does that help in terms of giving you a bigger platform and getting | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
There is lots of my work that takes place behind closed doors, | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
I think if there are more people who now understand what is happening | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
about the Yazidis and Isis, if there can be some action that | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
results from that that can help those clients, | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
then I think it is a really good thing to give that case the extra | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
But, you know, if you don't have a good case and you don't | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
have a good message, shining a light on it is not | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
The singer George Michael died of natural causes according | :21:47. | :21:57. | |
He was found dead at his home on Christmas Day. | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
Our arts correspondent David Sillito is here. | :22:01. | :22:02. | |
There were all sorts of rumours that swirled around | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
George Michael's death, but it was natural causes. | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
A man as famous as George Michael is being found dead, in his 50s, on | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Christmas Day, of course, there would be questions asked. The | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
answers today, well, dilating cardiomyopathy, card rightists and a | :22:20. | :22:31. | |
fatty liver. That is what --... The heart was weakened and inflamed. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Many possible causes, viral infection, most probably. Fatty | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
liver, the liver issues - there could be lifestyle issues there, | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
drink, drugs, whatever. The essence is, after all the stories and | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
comments on social media, some closure here. Natural causes, and | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
for the family, a chance at last, after more than ten weeks, to | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
finally have a funeral. Thank you very much. | :22:59. | :23:06. | |
Poachers have hooking into a zoo in Paris and killed a white rhino. This | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
do is west of the capital. It is believed to be the first time that | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
poachers have broken into a European zoo to kill a rhino for its horn. | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
Team Sky have admitted mistakes were made around the delivery of a | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
medical package to Bradley Wiggins, but denied breaking rules. The team | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
have been unable to provide records to back up the claim that Wiggins | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
was given a legal decongestant at a road race in France in 2011. | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
A 24-year-old cricketer is about to become a millionaire | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
even though he has never played a Test match and almost | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
You may not have heard of Termal Mills, but around | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
the world, he's one of the hottest properties in cricket. | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson has the story. | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Tymal Mills is 24 and about to become a millionaire. | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
Royal Challengers Bangalore desperately want to win | :24:01. | :24:10. | |
They've already got the Indian captain and other superstars, | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
but paid almost ?1.5 million in the auction for Mills. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
Now, bowlers in county cricket may toil for 20 years and never make | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
what he should earn in six and a half weeks. | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
Just enjoy it, not be too brash with it and hope I get a few more | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
You are a sensible guy, though, aren't you? | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
I mean, your mum will make sure of that, I reckon? | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
Yeah, Mum tells me off if I pay too much for a pair of trainers! | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Tymal plays for England in Twenty20 cricket, | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
but a chronic injury restricts him, so he plots his own course. | :24:49. | :24:50. | |
Rather than touring the world in Test matches, he bowls four | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
over spells in Twenty20 leagues - everywhere. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Played for the Chittagong Vikings in Bangladesh, from there, | :24:59. | :25:00. | |
for the Auckland Aces in New Zealand, and then | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
on to Brisbane Heat for the Big Bash, then | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
Then just finished now playing for the Quetta Gladiators in the PSL. | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
Do you think you represent a complete change in the whole | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
philosophy of the way that cricketers will try | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
My change was forced upon me through injury. | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
There's definitely an opportunity now, where there once wasn't. | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
The great thing about Twenty20 cricket is that there is always | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
a league about to start somewhere around the world. | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Next up for Tymal, Bangalore and the IPL. | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
Joe Wilson, BBC News, at an old-fashioned Lord's. | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
A fine day for most of us. Cold-weather lovers need to look | :25:42. | :25:55. | |
away because mild air is coming in for the rest of the week, and | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
temperatures will be widely into double figures. By Friday, not a | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
huge amount of sunshine. Here is a view of today, sunshine in | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
Scarborough, making for a pleasant afternoon. In Cornwall and other | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
western parts, the cloud moved in. Some of us have seen some rain, in | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
Cornwall, Northern Ireland, parts of Scotland, and it will get heavier | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
this evening as the wet weather pushes right across the UK. A spell | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
of writing for us all. Snow on the hills of northern England and | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
Scotland for a time, the wind picking up as well. It will be | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
milder than last night, feeling different as you head out of the | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
door in the morning. It will be windy across northern Scotland, with | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
gales and plenty of showers rattling through. Outbreaks of rain in | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
southern and south-western England at times. Elsewhere, sunny weather | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
to be had. Gusty winds in northern Scotland. Not many showers in the | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
central belt and southern Scotland. Northern Ireland, northern England, | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
breezy, dry, with good sunshine, and temperatures up a few degrees on | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
today. Norfolk should see some sunshine into the afternoon. South | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
of that, cloudy and rain moving in towards the east. Showers continue | :27:12. | :27:20. | |
on Wednesday evening in northern Scotland, and still some on | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
Thursday. They will begin to ease. Still some cloud in southern | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
England. Many places have a fine, mild day on Thursday, with sunny | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
spells. By the time we get to Friday, there will be more cloud | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
around. The weekend looks unsettled. Details online. | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
The vote in the House of Lords over the Brexit bill, we have live | :27:42. | :27:50. | |
pictures. The vote is now taking place. A reminder, the Lords are | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
voting on whether or not they can have a legal guarantee of a say in | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
the final Brexit deal, by which they mean more than just saying yes or | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
no. It is expected to go against the Government. They are expected to | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
vote to have a say, and it will then go back to the House of Commons, and | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
we shall see what happens from there. The vote will take place very | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
shortly. You can follow updates over on the BBC News Channel. | :28:18. | :28:18. | |
That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me. | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
And on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :28:23. | :28:23. |
