for trade post Brexit -

calling for the UK to form

a new customs union with the EU.

Jeremy Corbyn sets out his vision

for trade post Brexit -

0:00:130:00:16

It puts Labour at odds

with the government position

0:00:170:00:19

which has pledged to take Britain

OUT of the customs union.

0:00:190:00:23

Labour would seek to negotiate

a new, comprehensive

0:00:230:00:25

UK/EU customs union to make sure

there are no tariffs with Europe.

0:00:250:00:31

Labour claims it will be good

for business and mean no hard border

0:00:310:00:34

in Northern Ireland.

0:00:340:00:35

But is Labour promising more

than the EU would give?

0:00:350:00:37

Also tonight...

0:00:370:00:40

Is this child being hit

in his own classroom?

0:00:400:00:42

A BBC investigation

reveals the secret world

0:00:420:00:44

of unregistered schools.

0:00:440:00:47

The number of people killed

in a massive explosion in a parade

0:00:470:00:50

of shops in Leicester rises to 5.

0:00:500:00:53

Are you ready from the

Beast from the East?

0:00:530:00:55

Weather blowing in from Russia

is set to make parts of the UK

0:00:550:00:59

colder than the Arctic.

0:00:590:01:01

And a victorious homecoming: Team

GB returns to the UK

0:01:010:01:04

with a record set of medals

from the Winter games.

0:01:040:01:07

And coming up

on Sportsday on BBC News:

0:01:080:01:10

Tributes to British boxer

Scott Westgarth who's died

0:01:100:01:12

after falling ill following a light

heavyweight fight in

0:01:120:01:14

Doncaster at the weekend.

0:01:140:01:17

Good evening and welcome

to the BBC News at Six.

0:01:370:01:40

Jeremy Corbyn has set out

Labour's vision for Brexit -

0:01:400:01:42

saying the UK should remain in an EU

customs union but only if

0:01:420:01:45

the British can have a say

in negotiating the bloc's

0:01:450:01:48

future trade deals.

0:01:480:01:49

He said it would allow free-flowing

trade and prevent a hard border

0:01:490:01:52

in Northern Ireland.

0:01:520:01:53

The current customs union ensures

that some goods coming into the EU

0:01:530:01:56

have the same tariffs,

but international trade deals

0:01:560:01:58

are negotiated by the EU.

0:01:580:01:59

Labour's announcement marks a clear

difference in policy

0:01:590:02:07

of the customs union.

0:02:070:02:08

Our political editor

Laura Kuenssberg has more.

0:02:080:02:16

Bit by bit, piece by piece,

a clearer view on Brexit

0:02:160:02:18

if Jeremy Corbyn was in charge.

0:02:180:02:24

Labour wants to keep our

customs deal with the EU

0:02:240:02:27

essentially the same for good.

0:02:270:02:34

Labour would seek to negotiate

a new, comprehensive

0:02:340:02:36

UK EU customs union,

to ensure there are no tariffs

0:02:360:02:38

with Europe and to help avoid any

need whatsoever for a hard border

0:02:380:02:41

in Northern Ireland.

0:02:410:02:46

But listen very carefully,

there is a big if in there.

0:02:460:02:53

The option of a new UK customs union

with the EU would need to ensure

0:02:530:02:57

that the UK has a say

in future trade deals.

0:02:570:03:00

A new customs arrangement

would depend on Britain being able

0:03:000:03:03

to negotiate agreement for new trade

deals in our national interest.

0:03:030:03:08

Other countries with similar kinds

of deals have very little control.

0:03:080:03:13

We would have to have a meaningful

say in how those negotiations went,

0:03:130:03:16

and what the agreement was.

0:03:160:03:18

So we would not end up as simply

passive role takers.

0:03:180:03:23

But what if they say

no to your proposal?

0:03:230:03:25

As is very likely, given

what the European Union has said.

0:03:250:03:31

Listen, we would want to make sure,

and would make sure,

0:03:310:03:33

that Britain had a say

in our trade relationship...

0:03:330:03:38

But how?

0:03:380:03:39

By negotiation.

0:03:390:03:42

Negotiations require

an understanding of strengths

0:03:420:03:44

and weaknesses of both sides

by the degree of manufacturing

0:03:440:03:46

industry, agriculture,

food industries that operate on both

0:03:460:03:51

sides of the Channel.

0:03:510:03:54

And also, as I say, we're

not going to undercut

0:03:540:03:57

the whole of Europe.

0:03:570:03:58

But what is your plan B?

0:03:580:04:00

The plan B is to continue

negotiating in order

0:04:000:04:02

to achieve plan A.

0:04:020:04:08

Whether it's A or B, it seemingly

tilts to a softer Brexit.

0:04:080:04:13

Even though most Labour seats

in Coventry and around

0:04:130:04:15

the country voted to leave.

0:04:150:04:17

But some Brexit backing Labour MPs

question whether it's real.

0:04:170:04:22

There's no way they are going

to agree that we would have

0:04:220:04:25

our own customs union.

0:04:250:04:32

That we would stick our

nose into any trade

0:04:320:04:34

agreements they want to do.

0:04:340:04:35

And that Jeremy's kept faith

with his long-term objective

0:04:350:04:37

that we must be free

to negotiate our own

0:04:370:04:39

trade agreements.

0:04:390:04:40

For many voters there has been

enough dancing around the details.

0:04:400:04:43

A clean break, a total break, yes.

0:04:430:04:45

Why do you say that?

0:04:450:04:46

Because, like, let's get

Great Britain back to Great Britain

0:04:460:04:48

and how it used to be.

0:04:480:04:56

Why should stay

as close as possible?

0:04:560:04:58

I don't think we should stay

as close as possible because I don't

0:04:580:05:01

think it's a good idea to be

in the EU.

0:05:010:05:03

It's not beneficial

to everybody, really.

0:05:030:05:05

I could speak to these two guys now

and they would tell me one thing

0:05:050:05:08

of the people behind them would tell

another, everybody's views

0:05:080:05:11

are so mixed up, I think,

we just want an end to it now,

0:05:110:05:14

I think.

0:05:140:05:15

If a Labour voter said to you,

I back Brexit, and I did not think

0:05:150:05:19

that would mean still having

a trading relationship

0:05:190:05:20

with the European Union,

they want something more dramatic,

0:05:200:05:23

and more dramatic break,

what would you say to

0:05:230:05:25

them, was it worth it?

0:05:250:05:26

I would say to them think

this thing through.

0:05:260:05:28

We have a lot of jobs that depend

upon sales back and forth

0:05:280:05:31

across the North Sea,

across the Channel.

0:05:310:05:33

We have to ensure those jobs.

0:05:330:05:34

This isn't Jeremy Corbyn tearing up

Labour's plans for Brexit,

0:05:340:05:37

it's more a careful step along

the way, trying to contain

0:05:370:05:41

the tensions inside his own party,

those on both sides of the argument,

0:05:410:05:44

the many Labour voters

who backed Brexit in 2016.

0:05:440:05:49

It does also, though,

politically conveniently

0:05:490:05:50

draw a clear difference

between the Labour position

0:05:500:05:52

and the Conservatives' plans.

0:05:520:06:00

Because not just his fans,

but some remain tending Tory MPs,

0:06:070:06:09

want to keep our customs links, too.

0:06:090:06:11

Labour's firmer position

and Parliament's could cause

0:06:110:06:13

trouble for number ten.

0:06:130:06:14

Laura Kuenssberg,

BBC News, Coventry.

0:06:140:06:16

So what difference could it make

to trade if Britain stayed

0:06:160:06:18

in a permanent customs union

with the EU?

0:06:180:06:21

Our Reality Check Correspondent

Chris Morris is here to explain..

0:06:210:06:28

Being in a customs union after

Brexit would mean a common external

0:06:280:06:36

tariffs on goods brought in from

elsewhere in the world and it would

0:06:360:06:39

mean there would be no tariffs for

goods crossing between the UK and

0:06:390:06:44

the EU.

That is important for

companies based in the UK which

0:06:440:06:51

operate complex manufacturing

processes across Europe. This is the

0:06:510:06:56

BMW factory in Oxford, mentioned by

Jeremy Corbyn, the components cross

0:06:560:07:03

borders many times. A crankshaft

cast in France crosses to a plant

0:07:030:07:08

here to be finished and goes to

Austria to be built into an engine

0:07:080:07:15

which then comes back to Oxford.

Half the cars built in Oxford are

0:07:150:07:20

exported back to the EU and it is

all tariff free. The government says

0:07:200:07:24

the problem is you can't negotiature

own trade deals around the world - a

0:07:240:07:31

key part of taking control. You

can't alter tariffs on goods, be I

0:07:310:07:36

you can still do goods on services

and harmonising regulations. Labour

0:07:360:07:44

said it would be involved in

negotiating trade deals. So is it

0:07:440:07:49

trying to have its cake and eat it?

Business leaders are still looking

0:07:490:07:53

for a little more clarity.

Being in

a customs union is a hassle-free

0:07:530:08:01

solution for business, but there are

different types of customs union,

0:08:010:08:05

what we heard from Jeremy Corbyn is

not all the details. We need to hear

0:08:050:08:09

more.

And being in a customs union

wouldn't solve the problem of

0:08:090:08:16

maintaining an invisible boarder in

Ireland, still a big day for

0:08:160:08:19

Labour's position on Brexit, but

whatever policy emerges, all it

0:08:190:08:24

needs to be negotiated with the

other 27 EU countries and all of

0:08:240:08:29

them have opinions of their own.

Thank you.

0:08:290:08:37

Meanwhile the Scottish and Welsh

governments have dismissed

0:08:370:08:39

an offer by the government

in Westminster to make changes

0:08:390:08:41

to its flagship Brexit Bill.

0:08:410:08:42

The current bill has been

criticised for not doing

0:08:420:08:44

enough to hand over power,

after Brexit, to the devolved

0:08:440:08:47

administrations in Cardiff,

Edinburgh and Belfast.

0:08:470:08:48

But Cabinet Minister David Lidington

was told his offer needs

0:08:480:08:51

to go beyond warm words.

0:08:510:08:59

Five people are now known to have

died in a large explosion

0:09:030:09:06

in Leicester last night,

which destroyed a building

0:09:060:09:08

in the middle of a parade of shops.

0:09:080:09:10

Five others remain in hospital,

one is said to be in

0:09:100:09:12

a serious condition.

0:09:120:09:13

Emergency teams have been searching

through the wreckage

0:09:130:09:15

in the Hinckley Road area.

0:09:150:09:16

Sima Kotecha is there now, Sima

authorities believe now that this

0:09:160:09:19

is the final death toll?

0:09:190:09:20

Well the police have told us that

people may still be trapped in the

0:09:200:09:24

rubble. They say, because of the

heavy snow expected tomorrow it the

0:09:240:09:29

is crucial to do as much searching

is tonight. We have heard from a man

0:09:290:09:33

who told us the family that lived

above the shop was his. He says he

0:09:330:09:39

is concerned for their safety and

well being.

0:09:390:09:45

Plumes of smoke bill lowing into the

sky. Last night an explosion. A shop

0:09:470:09:57

and the flat above it were

destroyed. Flames shot up into the

0:09:570:10:02

air. Towering over the surrounding

buildings.

I heard a big bang.

The

0:10:020:10:09

owner of the shop was inside at the

time.

I didn't know what was that

0:10:090:10:13

and I found myself on the floor.

Eyes open. Looking up. Half of my

0:10:130:10:23

body was under the how how to say,

bricks and rubble.

How do you feel?

0:10:230:10:28

I don't know how to tell you. Never

I feel how I am now.

Well the shop

0:10:280:10:37

was a Polish supermarket and had

only been operational since January.

0:10:370:10:42

Firefighters today spent hours

wading through rubble, trying to

0:10:420:10:45

find survivors. Police have

confirmed that five people died

0:10:450:10:51

inside the building and several are

in hospital with injuries. But there

0:10:510:10:55

could be more.

We can't confirm

exact numbers. We are working on the

0:10:550:11:01

possibility there could be people

still within the building and we

0:11:010:11:03

will sweep through with our teams to

make sure that we have located

0:11:030:11:10

everybody that could be in there.

Investigators will start looking for

0:11:100:11:14

the cause of the explosion, once the

search and rescue effort ends and

0:11:140:11:20

the area is declared safe.

0:11:200:11:26

Some parts of the UK will feel

colder than the Arctic

0:11:260:11:28

as we are being warned to prepare

for the beast from the east -

0:11:280:11:32

a blast of freezing air

sweeping in from Russia over

0:11:320:11:34

the next few days.

0:11:340:11:35

Snowfall is expected

across Eastern England,

0:11:350:11:39

the Midlands, Scotland and Wales,

the Met office says

0:11:390:11:41

some rural communities

are likely to be cut off.

0:11:410:11:43

Trains are being cancelled on some

routes from this evening and it's

0:11:430:11:46

expected some schools will be shut.

0:11:460:11:48

Danny Savage reports.

0:11:480:11:52

As the cold air crept

in from the east with it came

0:11:520:11:55

the snow.

0:11:550:11:59

Showers and flurries so far,

but more is on the way, say

0:11:590:12:02

forecasters.

0:12:020:12:03

First time I've seen

snow like this in years.

0:12:030:12:05

It was settling in north

Kent earlier as a

0:12:050:12:07

stream of showers merged

into a longer spell.

0:12:070:12:11

Hi, David?

0:12:110:12:12

Extra checks are being

made on the elderly.

0:12:120:12:15

There were no problems delivering

meals in Lincolnshire

0:12:150:12:18

today, but tomorrow to be different,

although everyone is optimistic.

0:12:180:12:22

It doesn't bother me, really.

0:12:220:12:26

You are provided, you

are prepared for it.

0:12:260:12:29

You've got stuff in the fridge

and you've got everything like that,

0:12:290:12:32

you've got to make sure you've

got your boots ready,

0:12:320:12:34

and things like that.

0:12:340:12:35

By the middle of today, which is

when we are delivering, there's

0:12:350:12:38

not really a problem.

0:12:380:12:40

I think there would be

if we had to be there at

0:12:400:12:43

seven o'clock in the morning,

or ten o'clock at night.

0:12:430:12:45

Up and down the eastern

flank of the UK, snow has

0:12:450:12:48

been falling.

0:12:480:12:49

This is Norwich at the far end

of the Greater Anglia rail

0:12:490:12:52

route.

0:12:520:12:53

Further south, in Colchester,

and all along this line services

0:12:530:12:58

will start winding down

much earlier tonight

0:12:580:12:59

in anticipation of

the

0:12:590:13:00

severe weather.

0:13:000:13:06

Scores of schools could be closed

over the next few days if

0:13:060:13:09

the forecast ring true.

0:13:090:13:10

For parents here in Lincoln

that's good and bad news.

0:13:100:13:12

I've been waiting for snow

for three years, I'm

0:13:120:13:14

desperate for it to snow!

0:13:140:13:17

I have to work tomorrow, and my wife

0:13:170:13:19

has to go to work, so if one of us

would have to call in sick we lose

0:13:190:13:23

money, so hopefully

the school will be open.

0:13:230:13:26

Nearby at RAF Scampton the Red

Arrows were getting in as much

0:13:260:13:29

practice as possible

before snow grounds them.

0:13:290:13:32

But just to show how patchy

it is, this was the scene

0:13:320:13:35

less than 30 miles away in Boston.

0:13:350:13:37

Your perception of this winter blast

will depend on your postcode.

0:13:370:13:45

That point illustrated here in

Lincolnshire, where we are getting

0:13:460:13:50

flurries, but there is quite a layer

of snow in other parts of the

0:13:500:13:54

country. Two amber warnings are in

place for the heaviest part of the

0:13:540:14:00

snow. A large part of northern

England and down through Suffolk and

0:14:000:14:05

Essex into Kent. It is not just the

snow that will cause problems, it is

0:14:050:14:09

the cold. It will feel as cold as

minus 15 in the wind. That will be a

0:14:090:14:16

factor. It will start tonight and be

a problem through until Friday.

0:14:160:14:21

Thank you.

0:14:210:14:26

Our top story this evening.

0:14:270:14:31

Jeremy Corbyn has set out his

vision for trade post Brexit -

0:14:310:14:33

calling for the UK to form

a new customs union with the EU.

0:14:330:14:37

And still to come...

0:14:370:14:38

The 5 year-old girl who died

from an asthma attack -

0:14:380:14:41

an inquest hears a GP refused

to see her because she was late

0:14:410:14:44

for her appointment.

0:14:440:14:52

A BBC News investigation

into unregistered schools has found

0:15:070:15:09

"huge safeguarding issues" according

to the Children's

0:15:090:15:10

Commissioner for England.

0:15:100:15:14

The schools watchdog, Ofsted,

has identified more than 350

0:15:140:15:16

suspected unregistered

schools in England.

0:15:160:15:18

Anywhere that offers more than 18

hours a week of teaching is obliged

0:15:180:15:22

to be registered as a school.

0:15:220:15:23

Little is known about what happens

inside these unregulated schools,

0:15:230:15:28

but BBC secret filming appears

to show a child being hit at one

0:15:280:15:33

school - in another pupils' text

books suggest gay people

0:15:330:15:36

should be killed.

0:15:360:15:37

Our Special Correspondent

Lucy Manning reports.

0:15:370:15:43

Inside are secret schools

unregistered, hidden

0:15:430:15:45

from the authorities,

operating out of offices and houses,

0:15:450:15:47

even a disused building

on an industrial estate.

0:15:470:15:55

We've obtained photos

of the inside of other suspected

0:15:570:15:59

unregistered schools.

0:15:590:16:04

They show shocking conditions,

squalor, appalling food

0:16:040:16:07

hygiene, dangerous wiring.

0:16:070:16:10

Schools need to be registered

if five or more pupils are educated

0:16:100:16:13

for at least 18 hours

a week, many aren't.

0:16:130:16:21

Ofsted has identified more than 350

suspected unregistered schools,

0:16:230:16:25

only half have been inspected.

0:16:250:16:29

We were able to find

two that haven't been.

0:16:290:16:31

One is here in Southend, Essex.

0:16:310:16:36

It's 9:40am and children

from the ultraorthodox Jewish

0:16:360:16:38

community have started learning.

0:16:380:16:39

On one day a young boy

appears to be crying.

0:16:390:16:44

There is a child here

who clearly is upset.

0:16:440:16:47

Minutes later the teacher

seems to use force.

0:16:470:16:51

There is physicality about that.

0:16:510:16:55

The man manhandling the child.

0:16:550:16:57

The child remains very distressed.

0:16:570:17:00

That raises immediate concerns.

0:17:000:17:02

I wouldn't expect to see

that in the classroom.

0:17:020:17:04

Any parent watching that

would be very, very worried

0:17:040:17:06

about what's going on.

0:17:060:17:08

On a different occasion,

a boy appears to cower

0:17:080:17:10

away from the teacher.

0:17:100:17:12

What you've got there is clearly

a child who seems to be quite wary

0:17:120:17:16

of the adult that's there.

0:17:160:17:18

When the adult turns around

the child steps back.

0:17:180:17:20

And the adult clearly

strikes the child.

0:17:200:17:22

That is completely

unacceptable on all counts.

0:17:220:17:27

There are huge safety

guarding issues about

0:17:270:17:29

the well-being of the children.

0:17:290:17:30

Are you surprised that this

can happen in the UK

0:17:300:17:33

in this day and age?

0:17:330:17:34

I am.

0:17:340:17:35

Parents throughout the land will be

so surprised that schools of this

0:17:350:17:38

scale are operating outside

the legal system.

0:17:380:17:46

The synagogue denies this

is an unregistered schools.

0:17:460:17:48

It says education is provided

here within the 18 hour limit,

0:17:480:17:51

but when we observed it

it was operating for longer.

0:17:510:17:57

It also says it's not aware

of any assaults but asked

0:17:570:18:00

for more information.

0:18:000:18:04

We've learned there have been more

than 50 safeguarding alerts

0:18:040:18:06

about unregistered schools

across England and Wales

0:18:060:18:08

in the past four years,

according to our freedom

0:18:080:18:10

of information request.

0:18:100:18:11

These are primarily physical abuse

concerns that include

0:18:110:18:13

sexual abuse allegations.

0:18:130:18:17

Not all unregistered

schools are religious.

0:18:170:18:22

Of those that are half are Muslim.

0:18:220:18:26

The BBC has contained the copy

of a book from a suspected

0:18:260:18:28

unregistered school in Birmingham

that is now closed.

0:18:280:18:30

In one section it openly advocates

the murder of homosexuals.

0:18:300:18:32

Another chapter warns

a wife against refusing

0:18:320:18:34

sects with her husband.

0:18:340:18:39

-- sex with her husband.

0:18:390:18:41

Elsewhere, it says a woman wearing

perfume is an adulterer.

0:18:410:18:43

Another suspected unregistered

school was run here in east London.

0:18:430:18:47

A broad and balanced curriculum...

0:18:470:18:53

Muhamed, a former headteacher,

was issued with a warning notice

0:18:530:18:56

by Ofsted for running it.

0:18:560:18:59

We've learned he is facing

prosecution for racially

0:18:590:19:01

abusing Ofsted inspectors.

0:19:010:19:03

It is alleged he shouted

"Britain First paedophiles" at them.

0:19:030:19:11

We understand the registered school

he ran previously featured

0:19:110:19:13

here in online footage faced

and extremism complaint.

0:19:130:19:16

He denies all the allegations.

0:19:160:19:18

He maintains he wasn't operating

an unregistered school and says

0:19:180:19:20

the centre was being run

by somebody else.

0:19:200:19:26

Louise Casey warned about the

problem of unregistered schools in

0:19:270:19:32

her 2016 report into community

cohesion.

The Department for

0:19:320:19:38

Education really need to wake up to

their own research, their own

0:19:380:19:40

evidence, and what Ofsted is telling

them and take action. It brings up

0:19:400:19:44

kids in an anti-British way of life.

Sometimes in these environments they

0:19:440:19:48

feel they have more in common with

some of the extremists, and some of

0:19:480:19:55

the terrorists.

Run out of a

basement of a church in south-east

0:19:550:19:58

London we've also learned of an

unregistered school that even had

0:19:580:20:01

its own logo and uniform. The

problem, four months after it opened

0:20:010:20:08

the headteacher was banned from

teaching for allegedly hitting a

0:20:080:20:11

five-year-old pupil with learning

difficulties at a previous school.

0:20:110:20:15

She denies the allegation. And also

says she never set out to do

0:20:150:20:19

anything illegal by running the

school.

We have this little hidden

0:20:190:20:25

universe of tiny schools...

Ofsted

says it needs a change in the law to

0:20:250:20:29

close these schools. Why have there

been no prosecutions of those

0:20:290:20:33

running unregistered schools?

There

is a chain to this. It starts with

0:20:330:20:37

Ofsted preparing a case. It goes to

the Secretary of State to approve

0:20:370:20:42

taking it forward, then it goes to

the Crown Prosecution Service. We've

0:20:420:20:45

prepared a number of cases, none of

them have yet been approved, we

0:20:450:20:48

believe many of these cases should

have been taken forward.

Why can't

0:20:480:20:56

you just go in and shot the schools

down?

My hands are tied. We have no

0:20:560:21:00

power to shut down. We can enter and

report. That's it. We can't even

0:21:000:21:02

pick up evidence we find there.

The

BBC understands ministers have known

0:21:020:21:07

about the presence of unregistered

schools for nearly a decade. In 2009

0:21:070:21:15

Ed Balls was warned some schools

were operating legally without the

0:21:150:21:20

most basic health, safety, and

welfare checks. And this

0:21:200:21:24

confidential advice note reveals

Ofsted warned Education Secretary

0:21:240:21:28

Nicky Morgan urgent action was

needed. That was in 2015. Shortly

0:21:280:21:36

after then Prime Minister David

Cameron made a promise.

I can

0:21:360:21:40

announce this today. If an

institution is teaching children

0:21:400:21:44

intensively then whatever its

religion we will, like any other

0:21:440:21:48

school, make it register so it can

be inspected.

The Department for

0:21:480:21:53

Education declined to be interviewed

about our investigation. It says it

0:21:530:21:58

jointly agrees with Ofsted is cases

should be put forward for

0:21:580:22:02

prosecution. And it says were a

school is operating legally action

0:22:020:22:07

must be taken. Meanwhile hundreds of

these schools are still running and

0:22:070:22:11

thousands of children are left at

risk of extremism, uninspected

0:22:110:22:16

teachers, and poor facilities

management.

0:22:160:22:22

A man has admitted killing three

teenage boys in a car

0:22:220:22:25

crash in west London last month.

0:22:250:22:27

The boys, aged 16 and 17,

were hit near a bus stop

0:22:270:22:29

as they walked to a birthday party.

0:22:290:22:31

28-year-old Jaynesh Chuda-Sama

from Hayes, who was more than two

0:22:310:22:33

and half times over the drink drive

limit, has admitted three

0:22:330:22:36

counts of causing death

by dangerous driving.

0:22:360:22:38

A teenager has been charged

with stabbing two young Somali men

0:22:380:22:41

to death in the Camden area of north

London last week.

0:22:410:22:43

Eighteen year-old Isaiah

Popoola has been charged

0:22:430:22:45

with the murders of Abdikarim Hassan

and Sadiq Mohamed last Tuesday.

0:22:450:22:48

Police say Popoola has also been

charged with alleged attacks on two

0:22:480:22:50

others on the same night.

0:22:500:22:58

An inquest has heard how

a five year-old girl -

0:23:020:23:04

suffering from asthma -

died after being turned

0:23:040:23:06

away from an emergency

doctor's appointment

0:23:060:23:07

because she was a few minutes late.

0:23:070:23:10

Ellie May Clark arrived

at a clinic in Newport,

0:23:100:23:12

South Wales but was told the doctor

wouldn't see her

0:23:120:23:14

because she was late.

0:23:140:23:15

She returned home but was taken to

hospital later that night and died.

0:23:150:23:19

Our Wales Correspondent Sian Lloyd

was at the inquest,

0:23:190:23:21

what more can you tell us?

0:23:210:23:28

Ellie May Clark had suffered with

asthma throughout her short life. On

0:23:280:23:32

the day she died she has been turned

away from an emergency appointment

0:23:320:23:36

at the Grange clinic in Newport

because she was more than ten

0:23:360:23:39

minutes late. Doctor Joanne Roe, the

doctor who took that decision, told

0:23:390:23:44

the inquest today she was busy with

another patient. The hearing heard

0:23:440:23:48

it had a ten minute rule doctors had

where they could turn patients away.

0:23:480:23:57

But never before had it been applied

to emergency patients. The coroner

0:23:570:24:01

heard there were serious concerns.

She was going to be writing a report

0:24:010:24:05

now highlighting them, that Ellie

May Clark had been let down by

0:24:050:24:09

failings in the system, that

opportunities to give her

0:24:090:24:13

potentially life-saving treatment

had been missed. Her family were

0:24:130:24:17

here at the hearing today. They said

they were disappointed there was no

0:24:170:24:21

finding of neglect and said they had

waited three years for these

0:24:210:24:26

answers.

Thanks very much.

0:24:260:24:28

There were crowds at Heathrow

airport this afternoon

0:24:280:24:29

as British Olympians arrived home

after the Winter

0:24:290:24:31

games in Pyeongchang.

0:24:310:24:32

Team GB achieved their

target of five medals -

0:24:320:24:35

one gold and four bronze -

beating their previous

0:24:350:24:37

record of four.

0:24:370:24:38

Our Sports Correspondent Joe Wilson

was at Heathrow as the team arrived.

0:24:380:24:46

Flags at Heathrow for everyone. A

calm welcome home. But the Olympics

0:24:480:24:51

changes you.

CHEERING

0:24:510:24:56

Suddenly back with a medal and a

reputation, new fans and old friends

0:24:560:25:01

for Billie Morgan. Or is the acting.

In total, five British medallists,

0:25:010:25:06

up to £28 million invested. The

record lottery funding from UK sport

0:25:060:25:14

was allocated to create leapt off

the sofa moments like watching

0:25:140:25:16

Lizzie Yarnold in the skeleton, Gold

medallist again. I wondered what her

0:25:160:25:22

legacy could be. There are many

escalators in Britain but no

0:25:220:25:26

skeleton courses to slide down.

We

are not a snow nation, we're not a

0:25:260:25:32

nice nation. The inspirational

message I take to schools is that I

0:25:320:25:36

grew up in Kent and I loved sport

and I just wanted to be an Olympian.

0:25:360:25:41

I ended up going, to my best, and

coming home with a gold medal. And I

0:25:410:25:45

was a normal kid from Kent.

Absolutely stratospheric.

That

0:25:450:25:50

remains if you want to excel in

winter sports you need to travel

0:25:500:25:54

abroad. There are some Olympic

sports which are far easier to play

0:25:540:25:57

in every town and city in Great

Britain. Like this one. In east

0:25:570:26:04

London some of the best teenage

basketball players in Britain, it is

0:26:040:26:07

a sport widely played by John people

here. But the British team isn't

0:26:070:26:11

expected to win Olympic medals, so

there isn't any UK sport funding.

We

0:26:110:26:16

are in danger of losing this. It

needs to be looked up now. It's not

0:26:160:26:24

just re-evaluating, not just talking

about my sport, talking about all

0:26:240:26:29

sports, the way they are funded.

Some sports are given huge amounts

0:26:290:26:33

of money and it is a very low

participation sport.

Participation

0:26:330:26:37

is vital, everybody agrees. UK sport

exist to turn lottery money into

0:26:370:26:41

medals, which everybody enjoys. Like

sliding on ice, the need to find

0:26:410:26:46

balance is crucial. Joe Wilson, BBC

News, Heathrow.

0:26:460:26:49

Time for a look at the weather...

0:26:490:26:53

This beast from the East, will it be

as bad as everybody is saying?

0:26:530:26:57

This beast from the East, will it be

as bad as everybody is saying?

0:26:570:27:00

This is it and I shall explain why

it is cold that. High pressure over

0:27:000:27:03

Scandinavia. Coming all the way from

Russia where it was -41 today. The

0:27:030:27:12

winds will strengthen. It will get

colder. And we will have more snow.

0:27:120:27:16

We had some snow today. We have dry

air, so there were not great

0:27:160:27:20

amounts. That will change. Snow

showers tonight over the southern UK

0:27:200:27:25

areas. We have the killing cloud and

a spell of snow coming later tonight

0:27:250:27:29

for eastern Scotland and northern

England. It is running into the cold

0:27:290:27:33

air. Easily down to -4 over tonight.

Amber warnings from the Met office.

0:27:330:27:41

One in the south-east corner of

England and the secondary one where

0:27:410:27:45

we have more persistent snow in

north-east England, perhaps close to

0:27:450:27:48

greater Manchester and Yorkshire. In

both cases it is going to be in the

0:27:480:27:53

morning. Some of it may blow across

to Wales. Western areas dry in the

0:27:530:27:58

afternoon. Snow showers coming into

eastern areas. The south-east should

0:27:580:28:02

be dry and sunny but the

temperatures will be a bit lower

0:28:020:28:05

than we had today. Another area of

concern for Wednesday, northern and

0:28:050:28:11

eastern Scotland, the central belt,

and north-eastern England. Up to ten

0:28:110:28:15

centimetres of snow, particularly

over higher ground. Shower after

0:28:150:28:19

shower coming in on a stronger wind.

It shifts towards the northern half

0:28:190:28:25

of the UK. There will still be some

sunshine and snow showers. We are

0:28:250:28:29

dropping down day by day in

temperatures. Add onto that the

0:28:290:28:34

strength of the wind, because it

will be very windy by Wednesday and

0:28:340:28:39

significantly colder. More snow

showers in the north by Thursday. It

0:28:390:28:43

will bring a spell of snow with this

cold air heading in a northerly

0:28:430:28:49

direction continuing until Friday.

0:28:490:28:49

cold air heading in a northerly

direction continuing until Friday.
