Tributes flood in for one of rock and roll's founding fathers -

Chuck Berry - after his death at the age of 90.

He'll be remembered for his sound, his enduring influence

on other musicians, and his stage presence.

A new warning of a cash crisis for the NHS in England as its said

North Korea's leader celebrates the testing of a new rocket

amid fears it could add to its nuclear programme.

And plug in, turn on and pay up - why going green with a new car

The music world is paying tribute to Chuck Berry,

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

the guitarist and songwriter who - for many - invented rock 'n' roll.

Sir Mick Jagger said Chuck Berry had been an inspiration who had 'lit up'

his teenage years and 'blown life' into the Rolling Stones' dreams.

Our arts editor Will Gompertz looks back on the life of a man

Johnny Be Good. Revolutionary Chuck Berry Classics But Revolutionary In

The 50s. The Man Rocked America With His Electrified Fusion Of Gospel

Blues And Country. He gave the kids what they wanted,

songs about the teenage dream of fast cars, hot dates and

unrestrained freedom. That's why I wrote about school, and for young

people who go to school, and I wrote about life. Half of the people have

cars, I wrote about cars and mostly all of the people, if not now, they

will soon be in love. His brashness gave Rock and attitude, his guitar

licks a foundation for all those who followed him. The Beach boys, the

Beatles macro command Rolling Stones are indebted to Chuck Berry, as Mick

Jagger tweeted today. Chuck, you were amazing, he wrote. Your music

is ingrained in side us for ever. Chuck Berry the rock and roll

instrument. You can't take a piano to your friend's house but you can

take a guitar and Chuck Berry uses these riffs, these wonderful

introductions in a way that Keith Richards learned, as he himself

says, from. Chuck Berry was never slow to remind

Richards who was the boss. I've been living for 60 years with it. I know

that. But then realise it. Is it going to be around after we are all

dead and gone? In 1962 Chuck Berry was sent to

prison for having sexual relations with a 14-year-old girl. When he was

released two years later he found that his wife had left him and so to

a large extent had his songwriting Mojo but his showmanship had not. He

continued to perform duck Walker and all. You can argue all day long as

to who was the father of rock music, but one thing is for certain, Chuck

Berry was there at the birth. Chuck Berry - who's

died at the age of 90. The NHS is facing a 'mission

impossible' to meet the standards and targets required

by the Government. That's according to the organisation

which represents health For the first time, NHS Providers

says the money allocated for the next financial year -

beginning in April - is not enough to meet growing

patient demand and will make it difficult, if not impossible,

to meet targets such It's been a winter of unprecedented

strain on the NHS with hospitals full, or close to it,

and patient demand on the increase. The budget earlier this

month included new funding for social care and

investment in A units in England. NHS Providers representing hospitals

and other trusts says that may ease some of the pressure

but there will still be a yawning gap in the resources needed just

to keep services ticking over. This is the first time

in recent NHS history that trusts are saying they cannot

deliver the key accident and emergency and elective surgery

targets and hit financial balance, and that's before the year

has even started. That's the first time ever that's

actually happened and I think The warning comes after the Health

Secretary Jeremy Hunt says hospitals in England should get back

to their target of seeing or assessing 95% of patients in A

within four hours. It's not going to be

overnight, but it is essential and I am

expecting the NHS to return to that

target during the course NHS Providers says there will be big

increases in the number of patients in England

who lose out next year because key

targets are missed. With 1.8 million waiting more

than four hours in A, and on another key benchmark, waiting times

for routine operations and procedures 100,000 patients will

wait more than 18 weeks before their I'm going to see what I can do

to create some space. The Department of Health said

the comments failed to acknowledge that the NHS in England had a strong

plan Others argued that

efficiency should be the top priority and that the service can

curb costs by treating more people Well, the NHS and social

care have had five emergency cash injections in

the last two and a half years alone. What it needs is

a whole programme of And I fear that another

dollop of extra money and Northern Ireland as well as

England. Is it simply a question of money,

or can the NHS transform the way it provides services

as a growing and ageing population increases the demand

for health and social care? The final day of the US Secretary

of State's East Asia tour has been overshadowed by North Korea's

announcement of a breakthrough The North Korean leader has been

pictured celebrating what he said was a successful test,

as Rex Tillerson warned from Beijing that tensions on the Korean

pensinsula are at a dangerous level. Our China editor Carrie Gracie sent

this report from Beijing. The smiles were somewhat strained

when the Chinese President met They had intended to steady

anxieties about where US-China But as these players

posed for the cameras, With these pictures of Kim Jong-Un,

North Korea announced the successful test of a new rocket engine

for its space and He's already warned that his nuclear

missiles will soon be able Mr Tillerson was in Asia to warn

that US patience is at an end, asking China to do more

to persuade its North Korean ally It's frustrated by North Korean

recklessness and anxious to find common ground

with the new Trump administration. But it's also skeptical

about whether more economic pressure would force North Korea

to renounce nuclear weapons. And it's suspicious of American

intentions in the region. China wants fewer Americans in Asia,

not more, but to meet the threat from Pyongyang,

US troops are on exercise And the US is deploying

a new anti-missile system there. So Kim Jong-Un stole the headlines

as the big powers failed again His rocket test, a calculated

message of defiance to both the US and his next door neighbour,

China. Police are hunting for a 33-year

old man after a one-year-old boy died and his twin sister

was seriously injured at their home Sangita Myska is in

Finsbury Park now - Sangita. In the last half hour this police

cordon has gone up behind me and police have confirmed they have now

launched a murder inquiry Athletic children were attacked in the

building behind me. One was left dead, the other is to night fighting

for her life in an east London hospital. It's understood the chief

suspect was the children's father and he worked in a nearby hotel.

Neighbours say they have been left shocked and saddened by the events

that took place last night. They described the kids as sweet and

belonging to a quiet family. It was in this top floor flat in

Finsbury Park where a one-year-old boy was killed and his twin sister

was left critically injured in what neighbours have described as a

brutal attack. This morning police officers and forensic teams

continued to search the property on Wilberforce Road, collecting

evidence and conducting door-to-door inquiries. It was just after 11pm

last night the police were called by neighbours who had heard the

children's mother screaming that her babies had been hurt. I asked her,

can I help you? Do you want me to call the police or the ambulance for

you? She didn't say anything and I asked her, what's wrong? What's

happened? She just said, my kids, and she was crying. Officers are

searching for this man. It's understood he was the children's

father. The police say the 33-year-old was at the flat just

before the twins were found and left before the police arrived. I would

like to urge the public's health in this matter -- help. A man who is

resident at that address in Wilberforce Road disappeared shortly

after the incident was discovered. We would like the public's help in

tracing this man. Tonight forensic teams are continuing to examine

evidence in an attempt to make sense of the senseless killing of a baby

boy. His sister remains in critical condition in hospital. Sangita

The RAC is warning that most drivers buying new cars will face increased

Among the worst hit will be those purchasing more environmentally

friendly hybrid vehicles - some of which will attract road

Our business correspondent Joe Lynam explains.

And pay less tax but from next month that's set to change with road tax

or Vehicle Excise Duty increasing for newer, greener cars and some

customers are snapping up hybrid cars before the taxes go up. Already

we're hearing that dealerships have been very, very busy in the build-up

to this change. People are trying to get in there before they are hit

with the extra cost. What we are expecting anecdotally afterwards is

will be a lull, particularly hitting hybrid vehicle sales, because one of

the incentives for buying them will have been taken away.

From April the 1st most cars will pay an initial charge depending on

their emissions, and then ?140 a year after that. Hybrid cars will

get a ?10 rebate but still pay ?130 compared with nothing at the moment

and cars costing ?40,000 or more will face an additional premium. The

new duties will have no affect on cars already on UK roads. The

Government insists that the new Vehicle Excise Duty will be fair to

motorists and improve air quality by encouraging the take-up of cleaner

vehicles. But will the new charges deter drivers are already on cars

with low CO2 emissions? I think it's probably a good idea to try and

encourage people to buy environmentally friendly vehicles if

at all possible so I would suggest it is better to charge lower road

tax. What's the point in having low emission vehicles if you are going

to charge more tax? Ridiculous. It would be the environment I would be

worried about. This is a plug-in hybrid vehicle meaning when it is

running on its battery it doesn't emit any noxious gases at all but if

you buy this vehicle from April you'll be paying ?440 a year more

than if you bought it today. Some believe that that will dis-

incentivise people from buying green cars. Jo Lynam, BBC News.

Now it's been three years since Vladimir Putin sent special

In the Premier League, four of the teams battling it out

for a Champions League place are in action today.

Liverpool are currently playing Manchester City and have taken a 1-0

lead. Earlier there were wins for Tottenham and Manchester United as

David Horsey reports. This season is Tottenham's last at

White Hart Lane and is turning into one of the most memorable. Even

without their top scorer Harry Kane, the outcome is the same. Christian

Eriksen putting them 1-0 up against Southampton. If the second came via

a debatable penalty there was no doubt about the finish Bamidele Alli

League and James Ward-Prowse raised their hopes of a repeat. But

Mauricio Pochettino's men held on, their place in the top four now

looking secure. Among the chasing pack are Manchester United and they

went ahead at Middlesbrough through Marouane Fellaini's head. Jesse
