Brussels tells Britain that the time

has come to choose what its future

0:00:050:00:09

relationship with the EU

will be after Brexit.

0:00:090:00:17

The EU's chief negotiator, Michel

Barnier, in London for talks, warns

0:00:170:00:23

that the decision to leave the

customs union will impact trade.

0:00:230:00:28

Without the customs union,

and outside the single market,

0:00:280:00:29

barriers to trade and goods

and services are unavoidable.

0:00:290:00:35

We want a comprehensive

free trade agreement,

0:00:350:00:38

and with it a customs agreement,

and to make that as frictionless

0:00:380:00:42

as possible to make as much trade

as currently exists,

0:00:420:00:44

as free as possible.

0:00:440:00:49

We will look at what impact leaving

the customs union will have on

0:00:490:00:53

Britain. Also tonight.

0:00:530:00:55

A man accused of hacking

into US Government computer

0:00:550:00:57

systems wins his legal

battle against extradition.

0:00:570:01:00

Running into trouble, the company

which operates the East Coast Main

0:01:000:01:04

Line is losing millions of pounds.

Now the government intervenes.

0:01:040:01:08

Tackling the underground trade

in super powerful painkillers that

0:01:080:01:10

have claimed more than 100 lives

in the last two years.

0:01:100:01:17

Fentanyl's a killer,

and the drug dealers are playing

0:01:170:01:20

russian roulette with our lives.

0:01:200:01:21

They give our children

drugs, and our children,

0:01:210:01:23

my child, died from it.

0:01:230:01:25

And 100 years after some women won

the right to vote in Britain -

0:01:250:01:27

we look back at their extraordinary

struggle for equality.

0:01:270:01:33

And later on we will have Sportsday

on the BBC News Channel with the

0:01:330:01:37

latest reports, results interviews

and features from the BBC sports

0:01:370:01:41

0:01:410:01:51

Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News at Six.

0:01:580:02:01

The Prime Minister has been warned

that her decision to leave

0:02:010:02:08

the EU's customs union,

which allows goods to move between

0:02:080:02:10

EU countries without tariffs -

will cause 'unavoidable'

0:02:100:02:12

barriers to trade.

0:02:120:02:13

And the European Union's chief

Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier,

0:02:130:02:16

who was in Downing Street for talks

today, said the time had come

0:02:160:02:20

for Britain to make a choice

on what it wants for its future.

0:02:200:02:26

But the Brexit Secretary David Davis

said being outside the customs union

0:02:260:02:29

would allow the United Kingdom

to strike new trade deals

0:02:290:02:32

with the rest of the world.

0:02:320:02:33

Here's our Political

Editor Laura Kuenssberg.

0:02:330:02:39

In a hurry. Not just to catch the

1056 from Brussels to London.

We

0:02:400:02:45

have not a minute to lose, because

we want to achieve a deal.

But the

0:02:450:02:53

EU's chief negotiator wants to press

on. It is time for bargaining he

0:02:530:02:57

says as the next round of Brexit

talks loom. The first priority for

0:02:570:03:02

him and his host David Davis is to

agree what happens straight after

0:03:020:03:07

Brexit.

Do you know what the British

government wants?

In the to years or

0:03:070:03:12

so time frame not much will change

but the real posturing is about the

0:03:120:03:17

longer term. Theresa May popped in

for a drink after reminding her

0:03:170:03:21

party that she wants out of the

single market free trade area and

0:03:210:03:26

the current customs union. But she

knows, along with these to, there

0:03:260:03:30

might be mishaps along the way.

Our

negotiating team is starting

0:03:300:03:36

straightaway, tomorrow certainly on

an intensive period of negotiation

0:03:360:03:40

and we can get that agreement.

Yet

while this might sound elegant in a

0:03:400:03:46

French accent it is still a warning.

Without the customs union, outside

0:03:460:03:53

the single market, barriers to trade

and goods and services are

0:03:530:04:00

unavoidable. Time has come to a

choice.

In other words, Foreign

0:04:000:04:09

Secretary and others, make your mind

up. The EU's has consistently said

0:04:090:04:16

we can't keep the best bits of the

EU without losing somewhere. But

0:04:160:04:22

that has always been rejected by

Brexiteers.

What my side wants, what

0:04:220:04:26

most of the country wants is a good

deal. The way to get a good deal is

0:04:260:04:30

to be very clear that we are

leaving, we are leaving the single

0:04:300:04:33

market, leaving the customs union.

The fear of others in the Tory party

0:04:330:04:37

and the government is that the

Eurosceptics are too close to No 10.

0:04:370:04:42

This

0:04:420:04:47

week the Prime Minister hopes to get

the Cabinet to find a compromise.

0:04:520:04:55

What is more important, sticking

close to the EU or making the most

0:04:550:04:58

of freedom outside?

We've heard a

lot of, we are not going to do this,

0:04:580:05:00

we are not going to do that. What

are we going to do? That is what

0:05:000:05:04

we're waiting to hear, that is what

the 27 countries the UK's

0:05:040:05:06

negotiating with waiting to hear. In

the meantime this uncertainty is

0:05:060:05:08

really, really bad for business.

No

10 has to make bargains within its

0:05:080:05:12

party as well as with the EU

outside. Today's talks were about

0:05:120:05:16

the EU in the UK plug-in backing

before the next charge round of

0:05:160:05:20

negotiations really gets going but

arguably for there to be meaningful

0:05:200:05:24

progress any time soon the UK

ministers have to speed up their

0:05:240:05:32

decisions about their overall

approach. None of the questions are

0:05:320:05:34

easy but after months of squabbling

time to discuss becomes time to

0:05:340:05:38

decide. Laura Kuenssberg, BBC News,

Westminster.

0:05:380:05:42

So what will be the impact

of leaving the customs union?

0:05:420:05:45

And how will trade between the UK

and the Europena Union be affected?

0:05:450:05:48

Our Economics Editor,

Kamal Ahmed is here.

0:05:480:05:49

Thank you Sophie. First thing.

0:05:490:05:54

Trade really matters to the UK -

we export 28% of everything

0:05:540:05:57

we make.

0:05:570:05:58

Our biggest customer is the EU.

0:05:580:06:05

43% of all UK exports go there.

0:06:050:06:07

And to help that

trade we are a member

0:06:070:06:11

of what is called the customs union.

0:06:110:06:13

That means that goods and services

can circulate freely throughout

0:06:130:06:15

the EU with no import taxes

and few border checks.

0:06:150:06:20

UK farms are able to integrate

themselves into supply chain

0:06:200:06:25

networks so farms can have their

manufacturing networks extend across

0:06:250:06:30

countries. The second main benefit

is that large multinational

0:06:300:06:35

companies who have located the

investment and jobs in the UK in the

0:06:350:06:39

first place, to take advantage of

not just the UK market but also the

0:06:390:06:43

European market, the third benefit

is that as a part of the large EU

0:06:430:06:50

trading block the UK could extract

concessions in negotiating with

0:06:500:06:54

other countries like China that they

might not have got if they were

0:06:540:06:58

operating individually.

The

government has made it clear it

0:06:580:07:03

wants to leave the customs union so

we are less constrained by EU trade

0:07:030:07:09

rules but as Michel Barnier made

clear today that means taxes and

0:07:090:07:13

border checks are likely for our

exports to the EU, like food and

0:07:130:07:18

cars. And that is a barrier to

trade. And we could respond by

0:07:180:07:24

applying our own taxes to imports

from the EU, which could increase

0:07:240:07:28

prices. The Prime Minister insists

she wants a good trade deal with the

0:07:280:07:33

EU. She calls and frictionless

trade. And for businesses like this

0:07:330:07:41

steel firm in Northern Ireland,

having no border checks really

0:07:410:07:43

matters.

If anyone can remember back

to the days when we did have to stop

0:07:430:07:49

at the border and we did have

customs clearance processes, very

0:07:490:07:53

very disruptive. Not constructive or

helpful to businesses or trading

0:07:530:07:57

between the countries.

0:07:570:08:03

The British government says it wants

to throw its trade arms wide and do

0:08:030:08:07

free trade deals with countries

like America and China,

0:08:070:08:09

prevented at present

because we are a member

0:08:090:08:11

of the customs union.

0:08:110:08:12

The problem is how quickly

can we do those deals,

0:08:120:08:14

and will they replace the close

trading relationship

0:08:140:08:16

we presently have with our most

important export customer.

0:08:160:08:22

Thank you.

0:08:220:08:25

A 33-year-old man accused of hacking

into US government computers has won

0:08:250:08:28

a High Court challenge

against his extradition

0:08:280:08:30

to the United States.

0:08:300:08:35

Lauri Love, who has Asperger's

syndrome, is alleged to have carried

0:08:350:08:37

out a series of cyber attacks

on targets including the FBI.

0:08:370:08:40

Mr Love was facing a 99-year

jail sentence in the US

0:08:400:08:43

but he could still be

prosecuted in the UK,

0:08:430:08:45

as Daniela Relph reports.

0:08:450:08:47

For four years, the threat

of extradition to the United States

0:08:470:08:49

had hung over him.

0:08:490:08:51

Lauri Love described it

as "gnawing away at his soul".

0:08:510:08:54

Today that threat was lifted.

0:08:540:09:02

The reason I've gone through this

ordeal is not just to save myself

0:09:040:09:07

from being kidnapped and locked up

for 99 years in a country I've never

0:09:070:09:11

visited, but it is to set

a precedent whereby this

0:09:110:09:13

will not happen to other

people in the future.

0:09:130:09:15

The Appeal Court judges ruled

that Lauri Love was vulnerable,

0:09:150:09:18

that extradition to America

could lead to severe depression,

0:09:180:09:20

and make him a suicide risk.

0:09:200:09:26

And crucially, for his well-being,

he needed to be close

0:09:260:09:28

to his parents, here in Britain.

0:09:280:09:30

The relief for Lauri Love,

his family, and supporters

0:09:300:09:32

is obvious, of course.

0:09:320:09:34

They believe that this

decision is just and humane.

0:09:340:09:42

In a spate of online

attacks in 2012 and 2013,

0:09:460:09:49

Lauri Love is alleged to have hacked

into the computers and systems

0:09:490:09:51

of several US government agencies.

0:09:510:09:53

They include the FBI,

the Department of Defense,

0:09:530:09:55

the Federal Reserve,

America's central bank,

0:09:550:09:56

and the space agency Nasa.

0:09:560:09:59

Lauri Love was traced via a Romanian

e-mail address and a PayPal account.

0:09:590:10:05

He's been interviewed here

by Britain's National Crime Agency

0:10:050:10:07

but, as yet, has not been charged.

0:10:070:10:13

Today's judgment did not rule out

a prosecution here in the UK,

0:10:130:10:16

something his family

and his supporters are prepared for.

0:10:160:10:18

How do you feel about the prospect

of a trial here in the UK

0:10:180:10:21

and a possible jail term?

0:10:210:10:23

I do trust a trial in the UK.

0:10:230:10:24

In the US, the chances of me ever

getting a trial are quite slim just

0:10:240:10:28

because people are forced to plead

guilty to avoid huge charges,

0:10:280:10:36

huge sentences that they might face

if they take a trial.

0:10:370:10:44

In the UK, we don't strong-arm

people into facilitating

0:10:440:10:46

their own prosecutions.

0:10:460:10:47

This case has been a strain

on the entire Love family,

0:10:470:10:49

especially Lauri's father,

who is a prison chaplain.

0:10:490:10:51

There is a consensus of agreement

about the things

0:10:510:10:53

that really matter, about decency,

about justice, about fairness.

0:10:530:10:56

I've always believed to be born

in these islands is to win

0:10:560:10:59

the lottery of life

and that what makes Britain great

0:10:590:11:04

makes it Great Britain,

is not our power or our might,

0:11:040:11:07

but the fact that it is

a great place to live.

0:11:070:11:10

The United States now has two weeks

to lodge a request for an appeal

0:11:100:11:13

hearing at the UK Supreme Court.

0:11:130:11:16

The Crown Prosecution

Service will also decide

0:11:160:11:18

whether to bring charges.

0:11:180:11:20

But, despite the remaining

uncertainty, this was a day

0:11:200:11:22

to celebrate for Lauri Love.

0:11:220:11:25

He now wants to focus

on his electrical engineering degree

0:11:250:11:29

and is planning to pursue

a career in cyber security.

0:11:290:11:37

Daniela Relph, BBC News,

at the Court of Appeal.

0:11:370:11:43

The only surviving suspect

in the terror attacks in Paris

0:11:430:11:45

in 2015 is refusing to answers

questions in court, where he's

0:11:450:11:48

on trial over the gunfight

that led to his arrest.

0:11:480:11:50

On the first day of his

trial in Brussels,

0:11:500:11:52

Salah Abdeslam said that his silence

didn't make him a criminal, and that

0:11:520:11:56

Muslims were "judged mercilessly".

0:11:560:12:02

The Transport Secretary Chris

0:12:020:12:03

Grayling has announced

that the company Stagecoach,

0:12:030:12:05

which operates rail services

on the East Coast Main Line, has

0:12:050:12:08

suffered significant losses and that

he's ending its contract.

0:12:080:12:10

Let's get more on this

developing story from our

0:12:100:12:12

business editor, Simon Jack.

0:12:120:12:13

What's happened, and what does this

mean for passengers?

0:12:130:12:19

Stagecoach owns 90% of the franchise

which runs the East Coast Main Line,

0:12:190:12:26

Virgin owns the rest, they already

said when they bid for this

0:12:260:12:29

contract, which is the seven years,

they said we got our sums wrong, we

0:12:290:12:34

want out only. They were going to

let the magic 2020. This evening the

0:12:340:12:38

Transport Secretary says it is much

worse than we thought, this

0:12:380:12:42

franchise will be passed within

months so he needs to do something.

0:12:420:12:46

The to options are renationalise the

line, which is very much on the

0:12:460:12:50

table, users, or allow Stagecoach

Virgin to operate short-term

0:12:500:12:56

not-for-profit service until

something can be decided. Stagecoach

0:12:560:13:00

could bid for franchise in the

future. He said there was no legal

0:13:000:13:04

basis to exclude them. For

passengers and the real servers that

0:13:040:13:07

shouldn't affect them which is why

he's taking action now but this will

0:13:070:13:11

no doubt re-inflame the intense

debate, after the collapse of

0:13:110:13:16

Carillion as well, over how much

private sector companies should be

0:13:160:13:19

allowed to bid for critical public

services like this.

Simon Jack,

0:13:190:13:23

thank you. The time is coming up to

quarter past six.

0:13:230:13:31

quarter past six. Our top story.

Brussels ones but are not leaving

0:13:330:13:35

the customs union will lead to trade

barriers.

0:13:350:13:39

And still to come...

0:13:390:13:40

The white supremacist convicted

of planning to carry out an act

0:13:400:13:43

of terrorism at a gay pride

event in Cumbria.

0:13:430:13:46

Coming up on Sportsday referee John

Moss is backed after he awarded a

0:13:460:13:50

controversial penalty in the game

between Liverpool and Spurs but

0:13:500:13:55

admits he was misguided and

consulting a fourth official.

0:13:550:14:00

Fentanyl - it's an extremely

strong painkiller

0:14:000:14:01

thousands of times more

powerful than morphine.

0:14:010:14:03

Doctors prescribe it

for cancer patients.

0:14:030:14:04

But dozens of people have died

in Britain in the last couple

0:14:040:14:07

of years after taking it

to get a high.

0:14:070:14:14

Today, a 25-year-old drug dealer

from Newport was sentenced to eight

0:14:140:14:16

years in prison for exporting

and selling fentanyl

0:14:160:14:18

on the dark web.

0:14:180:14:21

Since December 2016,

113 people have died in the UK

0:14:210:14:23

after overdosing on the drug.

0:14:230:14:30

It's used worldwide but almost 10%

of global sales take place here.

0:14:300:14:33

Our correspondent, Jeremy Cooke,

has been taking a look

0:14:330:14:36

at where the drug is coming

from and who's being affected by it.

0:14:360:14:39

His report contains

some flashing images.

0:14:390:14:42

It looks like chemical warfare.

0:14:420:14:46

But this is a police raid on a drug

dealer who was selling fentanyl over

0:14:460:14:50

the internet from his home.

0:14:500:14:52

Kyle Enos has now been sentenced

to eight years in prison,

0:14:520:14:57

serious time for a serious

drug which has taken

0:14:570:14:59

lives up and down the country.

0:14:590:15:03

Robert was 6 foot 5

by two inches wide.

0:15:030:15:05

Hi, guys!

0:15:050:15:07

He was the kindest, gentlest

person in the world.

0:15:070:15:14

Full of life, full of promise,

but when 18-year-old Robert Fraser

0:15:140:15:17

went to buy cannabis,

the dealer gave him

0:15:170:15:19

something new, something

different, something deadly.

0:15:190:15:21

I got a phone call from my

ex-husband to say he'd just

0:15:210:15:23

walked in and found

Robert dead in bed.

0:15:230:15:30

And I just remember thinking,

he hasn't said that.

0:15:300:15:32

He can't have said that.

0:15:320:15:33

It's not true.

0:15:330:15:37

Robert knew nothing

about fentanyl, a

0:15:370:15:39

synthetic opioid drug which users

snort, swallow or inject.

0:15:390:15:41

It's related to heroin but can be

thousands of times more powerful.

0:15:410:15:44

Fentanyl's a killer.

0:15:440:15:46

And the drug dealers are playing

Russian roulette with our lives.

0:15:460:15:49

They give our children

drugs and my child died

0:15:490:15:51

from it.

0:15:510:15:57

Dealing with fentanyl is a game

changer, for the police and

0:15:570:16:00

emergency services and in this

government-licensed lab.

0:16:000:16:03

It can be absorbed by

the skin, so we just

0:16:030:16:05

don't want any risk.

0:16:050:16:10

They've been trained

to be super careful.

0:16:100:16:11

Because just a few grains

of fentanyl can kill.

0:16:110:16:15

So it's powerful and cheap,

and for dealers, that

0:16:150:16:17

means big profits.

0:16:170:16:18

They've seen it all here.

0:16:180:16:19

Heroin, cocaine, crystal meth.

0:16:190:16:20

But nothing like this.

0:16:200:16:23

Fentanyl's just a different

category of drug altogether.

0:16:230:16:28

And the potential harm

that they can cause

0:16:280:16:32

is just way above anything

we've had in the past.

0:16:320:16:35

But where is fentanyl coming from?

0:16:350:16:38

The BBC is undercover

in China on the trail of the

0:16:380:16:42

suppliers and so a meeting

with the laboratory boss

0:16:420:16:44

and his translator.

0:16:440:16:45

Let's talk business.

0:16:450:16:46

So 1kg of fentanyl...

0:16:460:16:49

China has banned production

of some types of fentanyl

0:16:490:16:51

but labs can work around the law

by making small changes

0:16:510:16:54

in the fentanyl molecule.

0:16:540:17:02

And they are happy to ship the drug

anywhere in the world.

0:17:050:17:08

2000...

0:17:080:17:09

Within minutes we are

being offered a deal.

0:17:090:17:13

The BBC bought no drugs

but what is clear is that

0:17:130:17:16

fentanyl is on sale to anyone

with the money to buy it.

0:17:160:17:19

This one is very powerful.

0:17:190:17:20

Very strong.

0:17:200:17:24

Yes, very strong.

0:17:240:17:25

Can you send this to England?

0:17:250:17:26

Yes, yes, England.

0:17:260:17:31

From China to Britain,

UK drug dealers get wholesale

0:17:310:17:34

deliveries, then break them down

to sell on the internet.

0:17:340:17:37

Really, it looks much

like any other online

0:17:370:17:39

marketplace.

0:17:390:17:46

Jamie Bartlett is an author

who writes about the

0:17:460:17:54

so-called dark net, a hidden,

unregulated corner of the internet.

0:17:540:17:56

But you have cannabis,

ecstasy, opioids,

0:17:560:17:58

psychedelic steroids and so on.

0:17:580:17:59

408 different offerings

of fentanyl on

0:17:590:18:00

this website alone.

0:18:000:18:01

Yeah.

0:18:010:18:02

Fentanyl is a highly

dangerous substance.

0:18:020:18:10

And carfentanyl,

an elephant tranquilliser,

0:18:110:18:15

is still moderately.

0:18:150:18:16

It makes all of these

products which were never

0:18:160:18:19

within which especially of young

people far more easy to get

0:18:190:18:21

than ever before.

0:18:210:18:26

In this area alone over

the past year at least six

0:18:260:18:29

deaths have been linked to the drug.

0:18:290:18:30

Kenny was lucky not

to be the seventh.

0:18:300:18:32

Ended up using what I

thought was heroin.

0:18:320:18:34

And turns out it wasn't.

0:18:340:18:35

What was it?

0:18:350:18:39

It was fentanyl or

carfentanyl, not sure.

0:18:390:18:41

Kenny has a history of drug abuse

and overdo overdosed on fentanyl.

0:18:410:18:44

Luckily he was in the Moses project

drop-in centre with the antidote

0:18:440:18:46

nearby.

0:18:460:18:47

I overdosed, that's

as much as I can remember.

0:18:470:18:54

Injected it and overdosed.

0:18:540:18:55

I was dead.

0:18:550:18:57

Seeing red, it was like blood

was covering my eyes.

0:18:570:19:00

The spike of deaths across

north-east England put fentanyl

0:19:000:19:02

firmly on the radar

of the National Crime Agency.

0:19:020:19:05

They know the drug is taking

thousands of lives in America

0:19:050:19:07

and are determined to stop it here.

0:19:070:19:12

The NCA has prioritised the threat

from fentanyl and its analogues back

0:19:120:19:19

in April last year, and it's

still priority today.

0:19:190:19:22

So we have a number of officers

working solely on that threat.

0:19:220:19:25

Michelle knows the cost of fentanyl.

0:19:250:19:26

How it took Robert's life.

0:19:260:19:27

What it does to families.

0:19:270:19:31

People sitting in their

bedrooms, clicking

0:19:310:19:33

a button, and getting it.

0:19:330:19:34

Why, how?

0:19:340:19:35

The world I grew up

in wasn't like that.

0:19:350:19:37

And I don't want that future

for my little lad either.

0:19:370:19:40

My surviving little lad.

0:19:400:19:44

Michelle is now a campaigner,

determined to make

0:19:440:19:46

us all aware of the dangers of

fentanyl, how easy it is to get, how

0:19:460:19:50

easily it kills.

UK sales of new diesel cars

fell by 25% in January,

0:20:160:20:19

according to the latest figures.

0:20:190:20:22

Diesel cars have been the focus

of air quality concerns,

0:20:220:20:25

prompting speculation that owners

could face higher taxes or limits

0:20:250:20:27

on where they can be used.

0:20:270:20:34

Motor manufacturers claim that

buyers are confused by government

A white supremacist who planned

to carry out a machete attack

0:20:420:20:45

at a gay pride event in Cumbria has

been convicted of preparing

0:20:450:20:48

an act of terrorism.

0:20:480:20:49

20-year-old Ethan Stables

was arrested after police

0:20:490:20:50

were tipped off when he posted

details of his plans online.

0:20:500:20:53

Here's our home affairs

correspondent, Dominic Casciani.

0:20:530:20:55

Ethan Stables,

self-confessed neo-Nazi.

0:20:550:20:57

For more than six months,

the 20-year-old planned

0:20:570:20:59

a white supremacist attack

in Barrow-in-Furness.

0:20:590:21:01

Online, he spread hate.

0:21:010:21:03

In the real world,

he bought weapons and

0:21:030:21:05

recorded this shocking video.

0:21:050:21:07

It's just like gay people.

0:21:070:21:09

Much nicer when they're on fire.

0:21:090:21:16

In a series of frightening

posts, he told fellow

0:21:160:21:18

neo-Nazis on Facebook

that he would attack this pub,

0:21:180:21:20

hosting a gay pride night.

0:21:200:21:21

I'm going to war

tonight, he told them.

0:21:210:21:23

I'm going to walk in with a machete

and slaughter every single one.

0:21:230:21:27

Some readers encouraged him,

but one replied, that's not right,

0:21:270:21:29

Ethan.

0:21:290:21:33

He posted this reconnaissance

picture and signed off, I'm fighting

0:21:330:21:35

for what I believe in.

0:21:350:21:37

My country, my folk, my race.

0:21:370:21:45

Barmaid Katie Bulger

was setting up for the night

0:21:480:21:50

when armed officers, tipped off

by a Facebook user, rushed in.

0:21:500:21:52

It frightened me.

0:21:520:21:53

Because I felt like

a deer in headlights.

0:21:530:21:55

So angry, so angry

afterwards to think that

0:21:550:21:57

somebody would actually do something

like that to a peaceful place.

0:21:570:22:00

With the pub surrounded

just over there

0:22:000:22:02

by armed police, the manhunt

across Barrow continued.

0:22:020:22:08

And shortly after 10pm,

Ethan Stables was arrested on

0:22:080:22:10

this road between his

flat and the target.

0:22:100:22:13

Prosecutors said that this

was his last act of reconnaissance

0:22:130:22:15

before he would have gone

home to get his weapons.

0:22:150:22:22

And this is what police

recorded finding after they

0:22:220:22:24

broke into his flat.

0:22:240:22:25

A swastika flag on the wall,

weapons including an axe

0:22:250:22:27

laid out and prepared,

and evidence

0:22:270:22:29

that Stables was trying

to make his own explosives.

0:22:290:22:32

His intended victims are furious

that he could post his

0:22:320:22:34

hatred online.

0:22:340:22:35

It would have been a bloodbath.

0:22:350:22:42

Personally, I think Facebook should

have closed his account.

0:22:420:22:44

His main picture

was him looking very

0:22:440:22:46

Aryan in front of a

swastika banner, flag.

0:22:460:22:48

And also, some of the literature

was like, a new world

0:22:480:22:52

order this, and very

extreme Nazi propaganda.

0:22:520:22:54

Facebook won't comment on why

Stables was online, despite

0:22:540:22:57

receiving four complains

about his posts.

0:22:570:22:59

He told his trial his comments

weren't serious and he was in

0:22:590:23:02

fact bisexual.

0:23:020:23:04

He will be sentenced later

for preparing an act of

0:23:040:23:06

terrorism only discovered by chance.

0:23:060:23:08

Dominic Casciani, BBC

News, Barrow-in-Furness.

0:23:080:23:12

Tomorrow marks 100 years since women

won the right to vote.

0:23:120:23:18

But the Representation

of the People Act only granted that

0:23:180:23:21

right to women over the age of 30

who had certain property

0:23:210:23:23

qualifications.

0:23:230:23:26

It would be another decade before

all women over the age of 21

0:23:260:23:29

were allowed to vote.

0:23:290:23:30

Our correspondent Sarah Smith

reports now on the momentous

0:23:300:23:33

moment in the struggle

for gender equality.

0:23:330:23:38

The Palace of Westminster was built

as an exclusively all-male

0:23:380:23:41

club, no women allowed.

0:23:410:23:45

So suffragettes often

targeted Parliament itself.

0:23:450:23:50

Four of them chained themselves

to these statues in 1909.

0:23:500:23:55

Their militant behaviour

was then used as an argument

0:23:550:23:57

for why votes for women

would be exceedingly dangerous.

0:23:570:24:02

Hidden beneath those

corridors of power,

0:24:020:24:04

there is an intriguing memorial

to the suffragette movement.

0:24:040:24:09

In 1911, thousands of women

tried to avoid being

0:24:090:24:11

registered in the census.

0:24:110:24:14

Emily Davison was one

of the protesters who said,

0:24:140:24:17

if women don't count,

then neither shall we be counted.

0:24:170:24:20

Emily Davison spent the night hiding

behind this door in a broom cupboard

0:24:200:24:23

underneath Westminster Hall.

0:24:230:24:29

She was discovered in here,

so she was registered

0:24:290:24:31

in the census as being resident

in the House of Commons.

0:24:310:24:35

A woman runs out.

0:24:350:24:36

There is a fall.

0:24:360:24:39

Davison did not live

to see women win the vote.

0:24:390:24:44

She died in 1913 after running

into the path of the King's

0:24:440:24:48

horse at the Epsom Derby.

0:24:480:24:51

But she may not have

intended to kill herself.

0:24:510:24:53

This is the actual scarf

Emily Davison had with her that

0:24:530:24:56

fateful day at the derby.

0:24:560:24:58

And it's thought now it might have

been her intention to try and attach

0:24:580:25:02

it to the bridle of the King's horse

rather than to actually

0:25:020:25:05

bring the horse down.

0:25:050:25:07

The scarf is owned today

by a collector who let me see

0:25:070:25:10

a telegram she's never

shown publicly before.

0:25:100:25:11

Sent from Queen Alexandra

to the injured jockey.

0:25:110:25:15

Yes, it says, Queen Alexandra

was very sorry indeed to hear

0:25:150:25:21

of your sad accident caused

by the abominable conduct

0:25:210:25:23

of a brutal, lunatic woman.

0:25:230:25:29

This is really strong language.

A brutal, lunatic woman.

0:25:290:25:33

People had mixed feelings

about the militant suffragettes.

0:25:330:25:37

Half of them thought they were crazy

and half of them thought that

0:25:370:25:40

that was the only way,

by destroying property, that they

0:25:400:25:42

would actually achieve the vote.

0:25:420:25:43

As MPs, women continued

campaigning for equal rights.

0:25:430:25:46

Edith Summerskill, on the left,

was first elected in 1938.

0:25:460:25:54

Her daughter, Shirley, followed her

into the Commons in 1964.

0:25:580:26:00

Women who have got to anywhere

in their career are very conscious,

0:26:000:26:04

and should be, of the women

who went before.

0:26:040:26:06

And paved the way.

And made it possible.

0:26:060:26:11

That includes Saffron Dickson,

just 20 years old.

0:26:110:26:17

And because she lives in Scotland,

she's already voted six times,

0:26:170:26:19

thanks to the suffragettes

who fought for her rights.

0:26:190:26:22

Hopefully, I like to think that

I would be at the front line,

0:26:220:26:25

you know, totally involved.

0:26:250:26:28

But that's coming from a privileged

perspective of somebody that has

0:26:280:26:31

a political voice just now

because of the

0:26:310:26:34

women that made those sacrifices.

0:26:340:26:36

But, actually, we've got so many

different issues still happening.

0:26:360:26:39

In the workplace, sexual assault

and harassment, pay parity,

0:26:390:26:41

still affecting women today.

0:26:410:26:43

100 years of remarkable change

since women got the vote.

0:26:430:26:46

But any suffragette surveying

the political scene today

0:26:460:26:48

would undoubtedly see much that

still needs to be done.

0:26:480:26:51

Sarah Smith, BBC News.

0:26:510:26:54

Time for a look at the weather.

0:26:540:26:56

Here's Louise Lear.

0:26:560:26:58

Here's Louise Lear.

0:26:580:26:59

We walk up to some record-breaking

snow in Moscow this morning. Four is

0:26:590:27:05

only UK, a light dusting in parts of

Sussex and into account. Some blue

0:27:050:27:10

sky and some sunshine also, as you

can see inside and cold and

0:27:100:27:16

Birmingham, but were we so blue sky

and sun, temperatures are likely to

0:27:160:27:19

follow the sharply next year was.

You can see this ribbon of cloud in

0:27:190:27:24

the far north-west. That weather

front arrives overnight to make

0:27:240:27:28

bringing snow into Scotland,

Northern Ireland, north-west

0:27:280:27:31

England, grinding to a halt in the

Pennines by dawn tomorrow morning.

0:27:310:27:37

There will be a hard frost for many

first thing. Some sunshine across

0:27:370:27:41

the south-east. As we go into the

morning, the weather front continues

0:27:410:27:44

to drift its way through Wales and

perhaps the north Midlands.

0:27:440:27:47

Weakening a little by the end. The

band of cloud follows behind. Some

0:27:470:27:53

showers in the North of Scotland

with hail and snow. That adds study

0:27:530:27:58

relations you have first thing

tomorrow. The weather front will be

0:27:580:28:02

sitting down through the Northwest

of England and into Wales. In the

0:28:020:28:06

Midlands, cloudy, best of the

sunshine in the south-east. In the

0:28:060:28:10

south-west, a band of cloud and

rain. As we go into the afternoon,

0:28:100:28:13

the weather front weakens as it goes

through the Midlands. The odds snow

0:28:130:28:21

shower from time to time. Nothing

too substantial. It will be cold

0:28:210:28:26

tomorrow, temperatures really

struggling. 2-4dC at the very best.

0:28:260:28:30

We need to keep a close eye through

the evening. The number of areas, we

0:28:300:28:37

could be waking up to light dusting

of snow first thing on Wednesday. A

0:28:370:28:40

cold and frosty start. A dry day for

most of us before more rain pushes

0:28:400:28:46

into the north-west.

0:28:460:28:47

Thank you.
