ukip officials in merseyside have resigned in protest at their leader paul nuttall‘s handling of the hillsborough controversy. the chairmen of the merseyside branch and the liverpool branch cited mr nuttall‘s "unprofessional approach and crass insensitivity", saying mr nuttall‘s comments had provoked "a strong reaction" from people in liverpool. last week, the ukip leader admitted that a claim on his website that he had lost a close friend in the hillsborough tragedy was untrue. the house of lords will get its first chance to debate the so—called brexit bill later, the legislation which kicks off the formal process for britain leaving the eu. the bill passed through the commons unamended, but it's thought opposition peers will seek guarantees about the rights of eu citizens in britain — and the role of parliament in scrutinising brexit. campaigners have called the current maximum jail term for animal cruelty in england and wales "laughable". battersea dogs and cats home is calling for prison sentences to be increased from six months to five years to bring the punishment in line with crime

but his remarks in particular about hillsborough, in which he said he was sick to death of hearing about it, as really angered people on merseyside, as you might imagine, and of course these two officials found themselves caught between their allegiance to the party and their allegiance to their home city. in the press release, they were critical of both paul nuttall and arron banks. by this afternoon, when they were talking to us, adam heatherington at least was focusing his criticisms quell er on mr banks. —— squarely. they acknowledged in their press release that it was an incredibly politically damaging time for them to do what they are doing, notjust because paul nuttall is their party leader, but he is the candidate in the stoke by—election as well. leader, but he is the candidate in the stoke by-election as well. ok, chris, thank you for that, chris mason at westminster. footage has emerged of the moment the north korean leader's half brother was attacked at kuala lumpur airport in malaysia. a woman appears to cover his head with a cloth for a few seconds before walking away

offered her resignation after saying she was responsible for misleading personal information about the hillsborough disaster on the website of party leader paul nuttall. mr nuttall admitted yesterday, in an appearance on liverpool's radio city talk, that claims that he's lost a close, personal friend in the tragedy were untrue. he said he hadn't written or seen the information on his website before it was posted. people who have grown up in care are far more likely to die in early adulthood than those who haven't, according to figures revealed by a bbc investigation. although care leavers make up just i% of all 19 to 2i—year—olds, they accounted for 7% of deaths amongst that age group last year. it's thought poor mental health and difficulties accessing support could be to blame. the government says it is investing £10 million in support for those leaving care. a lack of sex and relationships education in some of england's secondary schools is creating a "ticking sexual health time bomb", according to councils. the local government association says pupils are not being prepared for adulthood a

it wrongly claimed he'd lost "close personal friends" in the hillsborough disaster. mr nuttall said he hadn't written or seen the article before it was posted. appearing on liverpool's "radio city talk" he was forced to acknowledge that his website gave a misleading impression. i haven't lost anyone who was a close personal friend. there was people who i knew through football and things like that. i basically went to your website last night and searched for hillsborough and it's paul nuttall mep.com. that's your website. yes. i'm sorry about that. but i haven't put that out and that is wrong. the stoke on trent central by—election takes place on the 23rd of february, here's a list of the all the candidates standing. you can find more information on the bbc news website. the european commission has sent a final warning to the uk for failing to address repeated breaches of legal air pollution in 16 areas which include london, birmingham, leeds and glasgow. there had been worries of the last two weeks given the cold and very still whether we have experienced a high po

and ukip have wobbled in recent days, admitting a claim on his website that he lost friends in the hillsborough disaster was wrong and that has given labour hope they can hang on. meanwhile, theresa may and the tories are watching ukip and labour in this life or death struggle and they are a mile ahead in the polls and believing that in copeland they might take that seat. the first win by a governing party ina the first win by a governing party in a by—election for 35 years. the voting is going on as you can see, they are stacking up the seat and after an awful day of weather, a lot is at stake and it is notjust election hype. thank you. thousands of cannabis plants have been discovered by police growing in an underground nuclear bunker near salisbury in wiltshire. the crop has an estimated street value of more than £1 million. officers say the plants were being grown in 20 large rooms with almost every part of the bunker dedicated to what they described as the "wholesale production" of cannabis. six men have been arrested. jon kay reports. hidden in the wiltshire countryside, rghq chilmark,

mr nuttall has now apologised that the claim that he lost close friends at hillsborough ever appeared, but it's cast a shadow over his campaign to win the stoke by—election, which takes place on thursday. stoke was a strong brexit voting area and mr nuttall is hoping he can become ukip's second mp. but labour have held this seat for nearly 70 years and is fighting hard. don't rule out the conservatives, they have a local candidate and prime minister theresa may visited the constituency yesterday in a bid to show this isn'tjust a two horse race. 0ur reporter gillian hargreaves was born and brought up in stoke. she's returned to her home town to talk to people there. music plays. what i like about stoke is that i think it is a really friendly place. you can guarantee that people are going to be welcome wherever you go. yeah, it'sjust a happy place. i like coming home. it's a friendly place to live. hopefully, touch wood, there's not much trouble, where i live anyway. people talk to you. they're so friendly, but they are fiercely proud and outspoken and i'd say that kind of covers myse

year, you could say 2016 was not the year of post—truth. 2016 was the year in which, for example, the hillsborough families use a mass of expertise and fact finding to hunt for the truth. —— you don't think it's eroded confidence in experts then? i think there's a bigger question, there is a fracture between the discussion we're having about our national well being, at a national level, with economic contributions and what people's lived lives are like that don't relate to that. there are assumptions there and this has laid them bare. the point about this question was when you talk about not believing experts and when people start to agree with it, does it have a knock—on effect in different fields, whether it's science, climate change, inoculations, all those sorts of things? the biggest danger is the knock—on effect in politics. which is if we have the belief starting to take hold among our politician that's truthfulness is no longer a public value that people don't expect things to make sense — it doesn't matter what the content or the subject is, it's about the approach to trust? yea

party, was forced to apologise after his website appeared to claim he had lost personal friends in the hillsborough disaster. he is proving rather less visible this morning than some of his rivals. so far, this is proving to be a by—election campaign which will kill something really important about the state of the labour party underjeremy corbyn and hope people conceive ukip, who do appear to be watching from one crisis to another. and the parliamentary by—election in stoke—on—trent takes place on the 23rd of february. there is a full list of the candidates on the screen and it is also available on the bbc news website. an increasing number of patients are having to wait more than 12 hours at accident and emergency units in wales compared to a year ago. there were a total of 4,069 patients waiting injanuary, compared to 3,290 in the same month the year before. the monthly figures look at times patients wait from arrival to their discharge, admission or transfer. thomas morganjoins thomas morgan joins us live now from cardiff. health care in the country has been politically controversial. w

but paul nuttall had a tough campaign, forced to correct claims he had lost close friends at hillsborough. senior figures say that did play a part, but insist he's still the right man to lead ukip. was this a ukip failure or a paul nuttall failure? this is a party failure. we haven't won. that is a party failure. winning by—elections like this takes time and people have to get used to you as a party. you have been around for years! we have been around for years, as a party. yes, focused on one single issue, getting britain out of the european union and we are now evolving into something bigger and we have to get that across to the electorate. this was a significant defeat for ukip, instead of proving it can win over disillusioned labour voters, it is left struggling to explain what it stands for beyond brexit. its former leader said the campaign failed to cut through on key issues. there is a debate in ukip as to how strong we should be on the immigration issue. i personally feel we should own it. we will have to look at that and think. were we tough enough and clear enough with the ele

on hillsborough, don't you want a less controversial leader?” on hillsborough, don't you want a less controversial leader? i am finding it difficult to hear you but i think the gist of your question really is yes of course, things were brought up very personally about paul. he dealt with them very clearly but there is no question about it, this was a pretty orchestrated smear campaign against paul. a lot of people want to see us disappear, wherever they are from, and the fact is therefore they will particularly hold us to a particularly hold us to a particularly high standard. in the case of what happened with paul, he certainly apologised for errors, ie not reading his website, he made that very clear. but of course, that was followed by other things and all the rest of it that we know. i think this was definitely very much not a policy thing, it was a kind of personal attack on him and obviously, it was difficult for him, but at the same time, ukip remains united around him. when he came back from the count yesterday, a huge cheer went up f

coast from san diego to san francisco in the 1700s á the sculpture is at the roadside rest stop in hillsborough and overlooks 280- kinda pointing towards the highway, damning the traffic. it's an interesting sculpture that looks like it was made with craftsmanship most frequently found in sculptures constructed of mashed potatoes but there's a really great backstory and reason for thatá the statue has a great story, and you can actually read it all right on yelp because the norma, the wife of alfredo ruffino, the man who sculpted this work of art, is a yelper and reviewed it with the full back story-- but i'll give you a little preview.á built in the 1970s, alfredo always laughed about the weirdness of the design, but it was the one he was given to build.á alfredo was contracted to build this statue- the only problem, alfred wasn't a statue contractor, he was a stucco contractor... but he got the job and did it as drawn - except for the face. there's much leeway in creating a historical face and he gave the job to his trusted employee mario and mario gave the statue his own face. á it's lik

cannot be compared two senior ukip officials have resigned in protest at their leader's handling of the hillsborough controversy. paul nuttall has been embroiled in a row after his website incorrectly claimed he'd lost close friends in the tragedy. in a statement, the chair of ukip's merseyside branch condemned mr nuttall‘s "unprofessional approach and crass insensitivity", and suggested there could be more resignations on the way. donald trump has been back on twitter. this time to clear up comments he made at a rally over the weekend. speaking to supporters in florida about immigration, he appeared to suggest there had been some sort of terror attack in sweden on friday, but left many people confused because no attack had taken place. you look at what's happening last night in sweden — sweden! who would believe this? sweden! they took in large numbers and they are having problems like they never thought possible. he tweeted the following day, saying, it was "in reference to a story that was broadcast on fox news concerning immigrants and sweden". the swedish embassy responded saying they look

mr banks said he was sick to death of hearing about hillsborough. i'm not going to be serving the party. i can still serve the people of this city, which i do every day anyway. but i'm not going to serve ukip if it's got arron banks as a donor, sorry. that is my argument. saying "this unprofessional approach émé mi; <§%6§*£’1’ " " . from high—profile people, closely within and without ukip, is upsetting and intolerable." paul nuttall is well aware that hillsborough remains a painful, sensitive issue here on merseyside. questions about his personal experience have dogged his bid for parliament in the stoke central by—election. and the timing of these resignations, just as voters are preparing to go to the polls, could hardly be worse. this was paul nuttall last week. neither he nor arron banks would comment today. the ukip leader says he was at hillsborough but he'd not lost close friends. there was a mistake on my website, which was put up by a press officer. i take full responsibility. it's now been taken down. i was there, i was at th
