Boris Johnson is rebuked

by the Prime Minister over his

much publicised push for more money

for England's NHS.

Conversations about the future

of the NHS should remain private.

Theresa May told Cabinet

The Chancellor had this

reminder for Boris Johnson.

Mr Johnson is the Foreign Secretary.

I gave the Health Secretary

an extra six billion pounds

at the recent budget and we'll look

at departmental allocations again

at the spending review

when that takes place.

Boris Johnson was said to be pushing

for an extra 100 million a week -

we'll be examining how much

the NHS needs.

Also tonight -

Scotland Yard is investigating

a new sexual assault allegation

made against the Black Cab rapist,

John Worboys.

Diving down deep in Antarctica -

we go beneath the waves

with the scientists who've

discovered unique ecosystems

they want protected.

A sensational win

for Britain's Kyle Edmund

at the Australian Open as he makes

it through to his first

Grand Slam semi final.

And the fantasy romance

about a cleaner who falls in love

with a captured creature -

The Shape Of Water starring British

actress Sally Hawkins leads the way

for Oscar nominations.

And coming up in Sportsday

at half past on BBC News,

we'll look ahead to the League Cup

tie between Bristol City

and Manchester City with

a place in the final at stake.

Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News At Six.

Boris Johnson arrived

at Downing Street this morning

determined, it seemed,

to demand more money

for the NHS in England.

But instead, it's understood

that the Foreign Secretary

was rebuked by the Prime Minister

for his highly publicised

push to get an extra

100 million pounds a week.

Theresa May told the Cabinet that

such conversations about the future

of the NHS should remain private.

Our political editor,

Laura Kuenssberg reports

from Westminster.

That's not going to free up a bed.

Long waits, long days, another

glimpse of the pressure at the

University of North Tees Hospital.

We need more beds in the hospital,

more beds for them to go to.

Number

ten us hospitals needs and the

public looks to them France's.

Do

you want to be the Chancellor,

Foreign Secretary?

He called for

more cash at Cabinet, making public

before what he planned to raise in

private. The Prime Minister and

others not impressed. Inside, Boris

Johnson was told off for letting it

be known that he'd be making such a

call. No word after from him. Other

ministers didn't manage to hide

their annoyance at what he'd done.

You know as well as I do, you can't

go discussing Cabinet.

The Foreign

Secretary has been discussing

Cabinet. You're clearly frustrated

nothing has been done.

We put extra

money in for winter pressures and

have a really good story to tell.

Health Secretary carried into a car

but is not surprisingly sympathetic

to the idea of more taxpayers money.

This has stirred up a lot of fuss

but don't expect the Foreign

Secretary's pronouncement to make a

difference soon. It's tricky for

number ten because he is allowed for

it who doesn't always tell the line

and not just because there are

genuine concerns about how the

health service is coping but because

there is an anxiety among Tory MPs

that Number ten is short of ideas

and ambition.

Boris is right to

speak out. It's not his brief and

people might be upset about that but

if people want is big out like

Boris, they should have done.

Why

the Foreign Secretary is making this

point is everybody's gas. He has set

out his stall on Brexit and now the

NHS and we will see him putting out

his stall on a lot of issues. He has

exited himself from collective

Cabinet responsibility.

The man in

charge of the cheque-book hardly

seems sympathetic.

Esther Johnson is

the Foreign Secretary. I gave the

Health Secretary and extra £6

billion at the recent budget and we

will look at departmental

allegations again at as many would

be one that takes place.

Sources

suggest the Health Secretary is not

putting with Mr Johnson but perhaps

every little helps.

I don't think

any Health Secretary is ever going

to not support potential extra

resources for his or her department.

There was agreement in Cabinet that

money that may come back to the UK

after Brexit should be spent on

private keys like the health service

but that is set against Labour's

demand for an extra 5 billion now.

Like patients like these who we met

back in Stockton are struggling and

waiting on a trolley, the NHS often

helps them to a rapid recovery.

I

feel a lot better than I did. But

for politicians who oversee the

service

there is no simple answer.

There are more doctors

and nurses employed

in the National Health Service

in England than ever before.

And this year spending on England's

NHS will go up by more

than two billion pounds.

But at the same time there've been

an unprecedented demands on the NHS.

So how much more money does it need?

Our Health Editor Hugh Pym

has been taking a closer

look at the numbers.

There are growing demands for

radical thinking about NHS and

social care funding. Trying to work

out what is needed in future decades

and how much extra money taxpayers

will have to find. Senior figures at

Westminster are saying only a break

from party politics will row the

right treatment of the NHS's

problems.

We need to take the long

view, rather than having short-term

emergency injections of cash, let's

look at the scale of demand where it

is coming from and how we meet it,

not just for the next year or two

but for the next ten years and

beyond.

What is the current state of

the NHS? It has added more staff,

just over 10,000 more doctors in

England since 2010 but they have had

to cope with a rapid rise in patient

numbers. A 40% increase in the

number of operations carried out in

England over the last decade. Over

time, attendances at A&E went up by

almost 30%. Spending across the UK

has gone up. This graph shows the

rise since 1950. It is now more than

£140 billion per year. Well the UK

spends 9.7% of its national income

on health, that compere 's poorly

with other it EU nations. France an

11% and Germany on 11.3. Now

ministers say more money is needed.

The system and the waiter is

designed is not yet fit for the

challenges faced by a growing number

of elderly people with a whole range

of conditions. We need funding

change and we need transformation of

the way services are organised.

That's for the future but now for

NHS patients and staff is stress and

pressure. They feel that whatever

debate takes place, solutions are

needed fast.

It's emerged that police

are investigating a new allegation

of sexual assault made

against the convicted rapist,

John Worboys, who committed offences

while driving a London black cab.

He was jailed indefinitely in 2009

but is due to be released

at the end of this month.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent

Danny Shaw is with me.

This has just come to light. What

can you tell us? Potentially a very

significant development. A woman

came forward this month alleging

that she had been sexually assaulted

by John Worboys in 1997. It's

believed that she had not previously

forward. The lease are taking the

allegation it extremely seriously.

John Worboys has not been arrested

or interviewed yet but the

significance is that as efforts go

on to try and overturn the release

decision, if this investigation

proceeded quickly and lead to

criminal charges, it's highly likely

that John Worboys would have to

remain in custody pending any future

trial and that is why this is a very

key development.

A court has heard how

an unemployed man from Cardiff -

accused of carrying

out the Finsbury Park

terror attack last year -

told people in a pub

just days before -

that he was a soldier and he was

going to kill all Muslims.

48-year-old Darren Osborne

is on trial for murder and attempted

murder after the attack near two

North London mosques.

He denies the charges.

Our home affairs correspondent

Daniel Sandford reports.

The seconds just before a large

white van, travelling at speed,

smashed into a crowd of Muslim men

marking Ramadan last June.

It was the fourth attack last year

and the first to target Muslims.

The prosecution said that

in the previous fortnight,

the man on trial for the attack,

Darren Osborne, had searched dozens

of times on the Internet

for ultranationalist groups

and stories about terror attacks,

like the Manchester bombing.

The jury heard that

in the 15 days before the attack,

Darren Osborne received

two direct communications

from far right leaders.

A direct message on Twitter

from the deputy leader

of Britain First, Jayda Fransen

and a note from Tommy Robinson,

one of the founders

of the English Defence League,

in which he talked about a nation

within a nation forming beneath

the surface in the UK.

A nation based upon

violence and on Islam.

On the morning of the day before

the attack, Osborne had

hired a large box van

from a local rental company.

And that evening, he sat down

in his local pub in Cardiff

with a pen and paper.

The prosecution say that's

when he wrote a note,

later found in the van,

which talks about "feral, inbred,

raping Muslim men,

hunting in packs."

Callum Spence, a serving

soldier, was in the pub.

He told the jury that

Darren Osborne said to him,

"all our families are going to be

Muslim."

And then, "I'm going to kill

all Muslims, I'm going to take

things into my own hands."

Less than 28 hours later,

the van Darren Osborne hired,

killed Makram Ali and seriously

injured several others.

He denies murder

and attempted murder.

Daniel Sandford, BBC News,

at Woolwich Crown Court.

The BBC says the broadcaster,

Aled Jones, is to resume work

presenting Songs of Praise.

He was suspended last October

while complaints about inappropriate

past behaviour were investigated.

In a statement, Aled Jones

apologised for the "hurt" he caused

and gave his assurance his behaviour

won't be repeated.

Thousands of management posts

are likely to be cut in a major

reorganisation of Sainsbury's.

The supermarket chain

says there will be fewer,

but mostly better paid,

management roles

in each of its 1,400 stores.

The Ministry of Defence has regained

control of a defence review

that was expected to have ended

in major cuts for the Armed Forces.

It's being seen as a significant

move and a victory for

the Defence Secretary,

Gavin Williamson.

Jonathan Beale is outside

the Ministry of Defence.

What difference could this make?

As you say, it is a significant

victory for Gavin Williamson, he has

wrestled back control of a review

that was being overseen by the

National Security Council. That

review was looking at brutal cuts to

the Armed Forces, such as cutting

the number of personnel by 14000 and

the number of warships by seven,

dozens of aircraft also being axed.

Now he has control of this review,

he is amongst friends here at the

MoD and has more time to argue his

case to the Treasury for more money.

It doesn't mean there will be a

reprieve and the Armed Forces won't

be cut but one insider said it gives

as a fighting chance.

The time is 6:15.

Our top story this evening:

Boris Johnson is rebuked

by the Prime Minister over his

much publicised push for more money

for England's NHS.

And still to come...

Taking on Hollywood -

how British men are

dominating the best actor category

in the Oscar nominations.

Coming up on Sportsday in the next

15 minutes on BBC News -

We'll have all the reaction

to Kyle Edmund's quarterfinal win

at the Australian Open,

and he won't have to get past

Rafa Nadal to reach the final.

The Weddell Sea, named

after a 19th-century British sailor,

are some of the most remote

waters in Antarctica.

For much of the year,

the vast area is covered in ice.

But beneath it, scientists have

discovered unique ecosystems,

so rare that they are calling

for these waters to be given

special protection.

Our environment correspondent

Claire Marshall has travelled

on board a Greenpeace ship

to the Weddell Sea

off the Antarctic Peninsula.

And she was able to dive down

beneath the surface in a submarine,

to see for herself what

the scientists have found.

Here's her exclusive report.

Antarctica, the most remote

continent in the world,

encased in glaciers

thousands of feet thick.

It's still largely unexplored

and we know even less

about the icy seas that ring it.

Now, machines are making it possible

for us to catch a glimpse.

A mini-submarine is taking marine

biologist, Dr Susan Lockhart,

down into the Antarctic deep.

Above is a land of frigid ice,

below is a thriving mass of life.

That's really pretty.

No light penetrates this deep.

Plants can't grow,

these are all animals.

Then it was my turn to go

down with pilot, John.

We dropped much deeper.

More than 1000 feet down,

we find a wall of life.

Sponges and corals, sea stars,

feather stars, all thriving

in complete darkness.

A robot arm captures samples.

Some of these species have

never been filmed before.

They are threatened by an increase

in fishing in the region.

Too soon, we have to leave.

There is a storm brewing

on the surface so the ship have

asked us to come up.

22, do you have a visual, over?

We surface very close

to some icebergs.

We might have to nudge some ice

out the way as well.

That will be a massive chunk of ice.

At last, the diver gets

a hook on our sub.

But then the crane breaks

and we are stranded for an hour.

It feels good to finally be down.

That's nice.

Yeah, yeah.

We gathered evidence of a unique

ecosystem that deserves protection.

It's really exciting,

really dense sea bed

full of life and huge diversity.

And also, organisms living together,

creating a 3D structure.

So more organisms can move

and they can be very

vulnerable to disturbance

and they need special protection.

No-one could deny this

region needs protecting,

but what is the best way to do it?

Is a line on a map going

to make much difference,

and who is going to police

anything out here?

The proposal to protect all these

creatures and their world

will be heard by the Antarctic

nations in October.

A move by Rupert Murdoch's

media giant 21st Century Fox

to take over Sky

has had a major setback.

The Competition and Markets

Authority has provisionally blocked

the £11 billion deal

because of fears it would give

Murdoch too much control over

the media in the UK.

But as our media editor,

Amol Rajan, reports,

it's not over yet.

Certainly not over. In fact it

started a long time ago. This is the

second time Rupert Murdoch has tried

to take full control or scanner. The

first time was scuppered by the

phone hacking scandal. This bid has

been stuck in regulation for a year.

The competition on markets authority

have given it the green light over

issues of broadcasting standards but

on the issue of media plurality, too

much power being in too few hands,

they said they need more time. So

they have opened a consultation.

They have suggested some remedies to

deal with that. But this whole bid

could be superseded by a separate

story, that Rupert Murdoch told us

in December he was selling up most

of his company to Disney. So this is

all slightly academic or

bureaucratic. If Disney take control

of Fox, a lot of the concerns about

media plurality fall away. So I

think we will be talking about the

story for a while yet.

Labour's key decision-making body

has met for the first time

since three new members,

all from the grassroots group,

Momentum

were elected to the ruling body.

Momentum's founder, Jon Lansman,

described his election

to the national Executive Committee

earlier this month as a victory

for "21st Century socialism".

The South African jazz

musician Hugh Masekela

has died at the age of 78.

Among his hits was

Grazing in the Grass,

which went to number one in

the United States in 1968.

He was also renowned

for anti-apartheid songs,

such as Soweto Blues.

South Africa's President,

Jacob Zuma, said he kept

the torch of freedom alive,

and his contribution

in the struggle for liberation

would never be forgotten.

It has been confirmed that the

former Manchester United and Mr

MedStar Phil Neville takes over from

the interim manager Mo Marley, who

has been in charge since Mark

Sampson's sacking in September.

Britain's Kyle Edmund has pulled

off a spectacular win

at the Australian Open

to reach his first

Grand Slam semifinal.

The world number 49 beat the third

seed Grigor Dimitrov making him only

the sixth British man to reach

the last four at a Grand

Slam for 50 years.

Joe Wilson reports.

This is potential realised.

This is hope made reality.

This is Kyle Edmund in Melbourne.

A big first serve delivers!

His opponent in the quarterfinal,

Gregor Dimitrov, has been the next

big thing in men's tennis for years.

And he fought back

to win the second set.

He closes it out at

the second time of asking.

-- at the second time of asking.

But Edmund won the third,

and found himself on the brink.

Now, everyone has always known that

Kyle Edmund has the power.

But the most important

thing in tennis is what

you do with your head.

The muscle between the ears.

The very best players manage

to stay calm, even to get

better when it gets close.

And this was very close.

He's done it!

Hang on, wait and see.

Match point decided

by a Hawk-Eye replay.

As Andy Murray described

it on Twitter - wow!

I know what it feels

like to be Andy Murray

for the last eight years...

LAUGHTER

And when you're on these type

of stages, you know,

reaching the last stage of the best

tournament in the world,

it's obviously very pleasing,

but of course, I want to keep going.

Kyle Edmund may have peaked

on the other side of the world,

but he was made

right here, in Yorkshire.

As an eight-year-old,

you may just have spotted him

on one of these courts.

And it's here in Beverley

where you will find a man

who was hitting against Kyle Edmund

as a boy.

He's always had the ability.

I mean, last year, he did always

seem to come off second best,

really, in tight matches.

Possibly down to the mental side,

which is, you know, the biggest

thing I've been impressed with him

is the mental side of it and how

he's applied himself on court.

Is this success going to change him?

No, absolutely not.

He's very grounded.

Very level-headed.

He's quite a shy character.

A talented, willowy junior,

Kyle Edmund has worked hard

on his physique recently,

and he was brought through the LTA's

national training programme.

He was in Britain's winning

Davis Cup team in 2015,

although the Murray brothers won

the matches in the final.

While Andy Murray moved

to Spain as a junior,

Edmund is at least in part

the LTA's man.

He's come through the system,

but also, had an immense amount

of support from family and friends,

a big support team, and he's found

a way to get himself

to the top of the game.

Edmund will play Marin Cilic

in the Australian Open semifinal -

certainly beatable.

The man from Beverley's hills -

East Riding - may soon be

a softly-spoken superstar

everywhere.

The Oscar nominations are out,

and leading the field with 13

nominations is the fantasy romance

The Shape of Water, starring

the British actress Sally Hawkins.

The best actor category

is dominated by Brits -

with Gary Oldman, Daniel Day-Lewis

and Daniel Kaluuya all nominated.

And Meryl Streep, who already has

three Oscars to her name,

has been nominated for the 21st time

for her role in The Post.

Our Arts Editor

Will Gompertz has more.

The amphibian fantasy love story the

shape of what leads the way with 13

nominations, including best picture.

A category which also sees the

critically acclaimed dark comedy

thriller Three Billboards Outside

Ebbing, Missouri nominated. I want

to go for culture is. As well as the

coming-of-age drama Lady Bird. Good

to see another brother around here.

Also short listed is the horror

mystery Get Out.

And a couple of British World War II

films, Dunkirk... Wendell Douglas

and be learned? And the Darkest

Hour, which sees Mr Churchill

struggling in his early days as

Britain's wartime Prime Minister.

Several of the scenes in that film

were shot in a replica of this place

in Westminster, where I am joined by

the editor in chief of the film

magazine Ever. Let's start the best

done. -- the magazine, Empire.

I

think it will go to the ship of

water. Actually, the film I think

should win is Get Out.

Which has a

British rising star, Daniel Talia,

in the lead role. He gets a best

actor nomination. -- rising star,

Daniel Kalou ya.

Denzel Washington for Roman J

Israel, Esq. Gary Oldman in Darkest

Hour. Quite a list, but a lot of

stories. Will Daniel Day-Lewis win

yet another Oscar? Will Gary Oldman

win for Churchill? We are in the

Cabinet War Rooms.

Think it is Gary

Oldman. How he has never won an

Oscar is beyond me and Darkest Hour

feels like his finest moment.

The

best actress category will be really

competitive. So who will win, Sally

Hawkins for The Shape of Water? Or

Frances McDormand for Three

Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri?

Maybe Margot Robbie or I, Tonya. Or

a Saoirse Ronan for Lady Bird. Or

even perhaps Meryl Streep for The

Post. A great list. Are you going to

say we're going to get another

British win for Sally Hawkins, or

maybe Meryl Streep?

No way, this

year it is all about Frances

McDormand in Three Billboards

Outside Ebbing, Missouri, one of the

great dramatic performances of the

year.

Suspect she is right. We will

find out on the 4th of March when

the Oscars are awarded.

Time for a look at the weather now.

the Oscars are awarded.

Time for a look at the weather now.

It has been a topsy-turvy afternoon

sunshine around, it has been milder

but a lot of showers, some of them

with some fail. Already some

standing water with more rain to

come. It is not just rain, some

strong winds. This area of low

pressure has been named as Storm

Georgina. And when you see the Isaac

Boss close together, it is going to

be very windy. The wind

strengthening all the while. A few

showers and a lot of dry weather

before the cloud gathers to the west

later. Some heavy and persistent

rain settling in later, along with

gales is not severe gales. Could see

gusts of between 70 and 80 mph

across parts of Northern Ireland. I

might at least, most typically

between five and 11 Celsius. But

very unsettled rush hour tomorrow

morning. Not just the wind but the

heavy rain. And also some snow

melting as well so there will be a

lot of standing water around. Stay

up-to-date with your BBC local

radio. Here is the rain and strong

winds sinking south-east across the

country to the morning. Behind it,

things turning bike. There will be

some spells of sunshine but some

showers which could be wintry.

Especially over the hills. The wind

will start to ease but it will be

generally a windy day. Behind the

rain, temperatures coming down, so

highs tomorrow of six Celsius to

nine Celsius. Leaving the rain

slipping away into the continent on

Thursday but still keeping quite a

brisk wet dubbed west or South

westerly wind. But a lot of showers

around. The further South and east

you are, the better the chance of

staying dry. But it will fill cooler

as we head towards the end of the

week. A fair few warnings about,
