Twe nty20s, have had the ashes, and now to the twenty20s, a tri series for england against australia and new zealand. They lost their opening match to the aussies this morning. I will tell you more about how that happened later on. Sarah has the weather and it is not cricketing weather . M later on. Sarah has the weather and it is not cricketing weather . It is certainly sunny for many, but those temperatures are nothing to write home about. We still have quite a lot of lying snow around. Things are going to turn a little bit milder tomorrow. I will bring you all the details in about 30 minutes. Also coming up, do you remember this . Its been nominated for one of the tv moments of last year well be meeting Professor Robert kelly, whose distraction there was a surprise appearance at the royal courts ofjustice this morning as a judge heard arguments for and against the release of serial sex attacker the so called black cab rapist, john worboys. Standing in the caged in dock of court 5 wasjohn worboys, called to appear in person. Two of his victims who were also in court were not expecting him to be there. Theyve been given the go ahead for a high Court Challenge against the decision to release him from prison after he was jailed indefinitely in 2009 for drugging and sexually assaulting women passengers. Our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is at the high court. Daniel . Yes, simon, the original plan had been forjohn worboys to appear through videolink, but sir Brian Leveson, in charge of it hearing today, he had a bad experience with the videolink yesterday and decided it was very important forjohn worboys to be able to hear the hearing and that the only way that was going to happen was for him to be there in person. So, Brian Leveson had to apologise to those victims ofjohn worboys who were president in ding present, saying he knew they did not wa nt to present, saying he knew they did not want to encounter in face to face, but that was the only solution. He was there as the legal challenge began, as the formaljudicial review began, as the formaljudicial review began against the decision by the pa role began against the decision by the parole board to set him free. Driven into the royal courts ofjustice in a high security van, the black cab Rapistjohn Worboys was led to the cells in handcuffs by four prison officers as his victims started their legal battle to prevent his release from prison. Worboys was convicted in 2009 of one rape, four sexual assaults, one attempted sexual assault, one assault by penetration and i2 offences of drugging his victims. A london black cab driver, hes suspected of assaulting around 100 female passengers. In the courtroom, he sat in the dock. The judge apologised if any victims present were upset by him being there in person. 0ne victim explained this morning that shed never expected him to be released. When we were told it was an indefinite sentence, it was, well, justice has been served. He has been dealt with. He is serving a life sentence now. That was the way it was put across to us. So we never thought for one second that he would be eligible for parole. In court, Philippa Kaufmann, qc for two of his victims, said, it appears something has gone very wrong with the parole boards reasoning. And she condemned what she called the blanket secrecy. We cant challenge the decision until we know the reasons for it. And we have to make an assessment as to whether that reasoning is within the bounds of a reasonable parole board or whether its unreasonable or has failed to take into account relevant considerations. John worboys, who devised a kit for drugging and assaulting his victims in his taxi, didnt have a lawyer at the start of the hearing, but was able to talk to one halfway through. Thejudges decided the the judges decided the judicial review can go ahead and two other important decisions were made today. First, on disclosure. The lawyers forjohn worboyss victims will be allowed to see the reasoning behind the parole boards decision to allow them to challenge it properly. But also, john warboys position has also, john warboys position has also been resolved for now, he will stay in prison until the next Court Hearing in five weeks time. Daniel, thank you very much. One of the killers of the toddler, james bulger, has beenjailed for a0 months after pleading guilty to having indecent images of children for a second time. Jon venables, who served eight years for the murder in 1993, was recalled to prison last year for breaching the terms of his licence. Richard galpin is at the old bailey. Richard . Well, simon, jon venables was speaking to the courts earlier today via videolink, and he pleaded guilty to three counts of having indecent pictures of children, more than 1000 pictures in total, some of them were videos. They showed children aged anything from six to 13 years old, some of them actually even younger than six. Jon venables also pleaded guilty to a fourth count, possession of a paedophile manual found on his count, possession of a paedophile manualfound on his laptop, giving advice on abusing children sexually. The prosecutor described this document as disgusting and sickening. His defence lawyer said that venables accepted he had downloaded indecent images for personal use and that he had used the dark web to do this, that he accepted the outer wrongness and abuse involved in having these pictures. Utter wrongness. Abuse involved in having these pictures. Utterwrongness. He said there was no evidence that he had had abuse of contact with children. He told police at the time of his arrest of his own fault and he had let people down again. Sentencing, thejudge he had let people down again. Sentencing, the judge described ve na bles sentencing, the judge described venables manipulative, persistent and dishonest. Both ofJames Bulgers parents were in court and are not happy with a sentence that has been given to venables, saying that he has not been sentenced to long enough. 14 bid 40 months, i thought it was an insult to james and to the family. The length of the sentence is too short. Three years is really a farce. This is reoffending and there is a pattern to this behaviour. We believe that he should have got at least double his original sentence for a similar offe nce his original sentence for a similar offence two years ago, of two years. He will be leaving the court today believing he has got away with it. Three years, four months, that means he will be eligible for parole in less than two years. Clearly, some controversy about the outcome of this court case. Back to you. Tesco are facing a possible bill of up to £4 billion, after britains biggest ever equal pay claim. Lawyers say women who work in the companys stores earn less than men employed in its warehouses, even though the work is comparable. Up to 200,000 women could be entitled to back pay if the legal challenge is successful. The supermarket says all its staff are paid fairly, whatever their gender. 0ur economics editor kamal ahmed reports. Tesco hasjoined a long list of organisations facing controversy over equal pay. Among retailers, asda and sainsburys are facing similar legal battles. Birmingham city council has already agreed to over £1 billion worth of payments for women cleaners and carers. And the bbc has been accused of not paying men and women equally. Tesco is one of the countrys largest employers and is now facing a series of test cases which could lead to the largest equal pay claim in employment history. Lawyers acting for tesco supermarket workers said that female staff on hourly rates earn considerably less than men even though the value of the work is comparable. Kim ellerman and pamjenkins have worked for tesco for more than 20 years. I think that although we think we have equal rights, there are times where there are such discrepancies that you cannot explain them. And i think tescos are just one of Many Companies that really are not addressing the fact that women seem to still be paid less. Obviously the jobs are slightly different but to put it bluntly, they are of equal value. You know, we deal with customers, they dont have to deal with customers. But you know, we take the stock and we load the stock. They load it off the lorry and we load it onto the shelves. Tesco said that all their staff could progress equally and were paid fairly whatever their gender or background. In a statement the supermarket said, we are unable to comment on a claim that we had not received. Tesco has always been a place for people to get on in their career regardless of their gender, background or education. And we work hard to make sure all our colleagues are paid fairly and equally for the jobs they do. Birmingham city council has already been forced by the courts to pay cleaners and cooks, jobs mostly done by women, the same rate as bin collectors and street cleaners. Jobs mostly done by men. Businesses know there could be major costs ahead. The law has been there since 1984 that you can compare with a differentjob. That is 34 years to get your house in order. So that is 34 years of having the advantage of paying unequally. And 34 years of you making pay decisions and financial strategic decisions. And 34 years where you have chosen to walk around what is hiding in open sight. This is the start of a long legal battle. Tesco just the latest business to be caught up in a fight over equal pay. Kamal ahmed, bbc news. A man who claimed he had been abused bya vip a man who claimed he had been abused by a vip paedophile ring in westminster has been charged himself with multiple offences relating to indecent images of children.

Researchers have used groundbreaking dna analysis to examine his skeleton which was discovered in somerset in 1903. Jon kay reports. He lay here undisturbed for 10,000 years. In the caves beneath cheddar gorge, a replica of cheddar man. But now 21st century science means we can put flesh on these bones. One, two, three. At the Natural History museum cheddar man finally revealed. By extracting dna from his bones and scanning his skull, experts believe they have recreated his face in unprecedented detail. And he looks very different from what they expected. The hair, the eyes, the face, that combination of blue eyes and dark skin, really very striking. Something we would not have imagined. And to also get from the dna details of his biology. The fact that he could not digest milk. That is something that came really with the advent of farming. And 10,000 years ago people in britain didnt have that. Look how hes changed. This is what scientists used to think he looked like. A reconstruction from 20 years ago when dna analysis was nowhere near as developed. Cheddar man and i share a common female relative. This is modern day cheddar man. Adrian targett lives in the same village and shares dna with the skeleton found in the gorge. So, time to meet his ancestor. Do you want to see your great great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather . Ok, here he comes. And. Oh, my what do you think . It is remarkable, isnt it . I think there is probably some resemblance. But yes, i think there are certainly other members in my family who he bears a resemblance to, yes. Some of my cousins. You can see that . Yes. I think my eyes are blue. Lets have a look. They are blue they are blue. His hair is not quite as grey as mine is.

Theresa may is meeting senior ministers at downing street this afternoon, to try to agree the governments approach to the next stage of the brexit negotiations. It comes amid tensions between downing street and some conservative mps over britains future relationship with the eu. And theres pressure on the Prime Minister too from business leaders, the british chambers of commerce are demanding more clarity about the governments brexit plans. Alex forsyth reports the Prime Minister is fast approaching crunch time. Her government must decide what brexit will really mean. Its not just brussels, but mps and businesses too who want to know in which direction the country is heading. Small businesses and large firms need greater clarity from government about how its going to approach the upcoming negotiations. Businesses are trying to plan. They are thinking about investment and they are having a hard time drawing conclusions from the current picture. Questions to the Prime Minister. She says a transition period will give businesses certainty. Beyond that, the government wants frictionless trade, all subject of course to negotiations. We will be robust in our arguments, as i have said from the beginning. We will hear noises off and all sorts of things being said about positions that are being taken. What matters is the positions we take in the negotiations as we negotiate the best deal. But ministers meeting here today and tomorrow are under pressure to flesh out what exactly they want. Not easy to agree, for a party that is divided. I wish downing street spokesmen would shut up sometimes. They put out completely meaningless statements. Apparently, its going to be frictionless and we are happy to have a customs arrangement. Yet we are not going in a Customs Union and we are not going in the Single Market. That is completely contradictory. I am sure people will always be disappointed whatever deal is struck, because there are differences. The main thing, and free movement, stop paying billions of pounds, our own laws, in our own country, if we succeed doing that, the differences dont really matter. With such different views on how close the uk should remain to the eu, theresa may is unlikely to please everybody. Perhaps the best she can hope for is a compromise which keeps most of her party onside. So for now, the debate rages and the demand for detail grows. And thats before formal trade talks with brussels even start. Alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. Lets go to vicki young. Teresa made, it is a difficultjob, like herding a bag of ferrets yes, what an image. The she said she would be robust, prompted by one of the backbenchers on the eurosceptic side, worried she might be backsliding, about a compromise too much with the European Union. She is trying to reassure them, but also trying to reassure them, but also trying to reassure those on the remained side of the argument that she will have a smooth brexit, reassure the business community, that absolutely adamant that they need some answers and need them pretty soon. That is because we are just over a year away from leaving the European Union. They need to plan for the future. I am joined by the snps peter grant, also on the brexit select committee. The eu todayis brexit select committee. The eu today is really issuing threats, saying th
