so the world's first plastic-free shopping aisle has been unveiled today in the netherlands.
is this the start of the plastic free revolution? are you embracing the change or hanging onto
your plastic bags?
come and be part of the conversation and tell us what you think.
the row between britain and the europen union over whether there'll be a hard border between
northern ireland and the irish republic, is set to intensify today.
the eu will publish a draft of the brexit withdrawal treaty - setting out in legally
binding text the proposed terms of the uk's departure.
the document is expected to say that northern ireland will have to follow the rules of the
eu's single market, if other solutions can't be agreed to avoid a hard border with the
irish republic.
our europe editor katya adler reports from brussels.
this document is about the european
commission putting into legally binding text the agreements that have been reached between
the two sides, so remember those divorce issues, citizens rights, the brexit bill on the irish
border and also the transition agreement, that is what will be in this 120 page document,
and when it goes in black-and-white it will be interesting to see to what extent the uk
government and the european commission really are on the same page.
when it comes to issues where no final agreement was reached, such as over political hot potato
is like the future role of the european court ofjustice or the irish border, we will hear
from the commission what its fallback position is and when it comes to northern ireland,
that is keeping it inside a customs union with the eu and part of the single market
to safeguard, says the commission, the good friday agreement.
this is likely to cause uproar in the uk tomorrow, inside and outside government circles, but
we must remember this is a draft legal text that will still be discussed and amended by
the other 27 eu countries
and will then be passed to the uk government for negotiation, and i'm sure they will have
a lot to say about it. and for the latest analysis and features on brexit, go to the
bbc website - where you'll find a guide in 300 words - and details of the proposed repeal
bill, for transferring legal powers to westminster.
one of president trump's top advisers, jared kushner, has had his white house security
clearance downgraded.
mr kushner, who is married to president trump's daughter ivanka, had access to the president's
daily brief, a secret intelligence report.
he'll will now be unable to view many sensitive documents as our north america correspondent,
peter bowes reports.
ra rely rarely heard, but often seen by the side of the president, jared kushner has been
part of the present's in a circle since he entered the white house.
he has been operating on interim clearance only, pending the
results of a background check which is still not been completed after 13 months.
during this time, mr kushner has had access to the present's daily briefing, which is
a top-secret intelligence report, but that will stop and it comes as the white house
chief of staffjohn kelly attempts to impose greater discipline on its employees and access
to sensitive information.
the issue came to ahead earlier this month when it emerged that a senior adviser to the
president was also operating with interim clearance, despite allegations domestic abuse.
jared kushner, who is married to donald trump's daughter ivanka trump played a key role in
his father-in-law 's election campaign.
during the past year he has been closely involved with developing foreign policy for the donald
trump administration, focusing on the middle east and mexico.
according to his spokesperson... but the change in status for mr
trump's son-in-law means he will be sidelined from white house meetings at the highest level.
with jared kushner also embroiled in the ongoing investigation into russian meddling in the
2016 election, his background check may be far from complete.
let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news.
a leaked united nations report says north korea has been shipping supplies to syria
that could be used in the manufacture of chemical weapons.
the report by un experts - seen by several newspapers - says north korean technicians
have also been seen working at weapons facilities inside syria.
australia has announced a compulsory recall of more than two million cars because of concerns
over defective airbags.
the vehicles include toyota, mazda, ford and bmw cars which contain takata airbags.
the faulty airbags have been linked to more than 20 deaths worldwide and are thought to
have been fitted in 100 million vehicles.
several newspapers in slovakia have printed the last article by an investigative journalist,
who was shot dead whilst examining claims that businessmen
with links to the italian mafia were siphoning off eu funds.
jan kuciak was murdered along with his fiancee.
the prime minister is amongst many to have appealed for information relating to the murder
the church of the holy sepulchre in jerusalem has reopened, three days after christian leaders
closed it indefinitely in protest at plans to tax church properties in the city.
the mayor of jerusalem suspended the tax plans on tuesday after the israeli prime minister,
benjamin netanyahu, said there would be negotiations to try to resolve the dispute.
the funeral of bollywood superstar, sridevi, is taking place after police closed the investigation
into her death in dubai.
an autopsy ruled the 54-year-old had drowned in a bath, after losing consciousness.
she was one of india's best known film stars, appearing in around 300 movies.
crowds have gathered outside her home in mumbai to pay their last respects.
let's get the latest from mumbai and the bbc's
sameer hashmi who is outside the family home.
the funeral now just the funeral nowjust hours away, we think.
that's right.
her body was transferred from the residence to this sports complex behind us because it's
a much bigger space here and the body was brought here about an hour ago.
now there are fa ns about an hour ago.
now there are fans entering the sports complex to pay their last respects.
there is a huge queue which goes down the road and the fans are gathering in the morning
and the gates were opening about 15 minutes back, and now there isa about 15 minutes back,
and now there is a huge line and the cops are trying to maintain security and make sure
the crowd is under control.
the body will be kept here for the next two hours, after which it will be taken to the
cremation centre which is about four or five kilometres away from here and it will be taken
ona away from here and it will be taken on a truck were her body will be laid on top
so people can pay their last respects, even during that
route, and for those who cannot make it to this place.
there is a huge crowd and the cops are having a tough time managing them because they did
not anticipate such a huge crowd but there is tight security.
it's not only the cloud, but people from the bollywood industry are entering to pay their
respects.
sridevi was a big name not only in bollywood but also in the southern pa rt bollywood but
also in the southern part of india where she acted in different shows in the 70s and 80s
before she moved to bollywood.
she is not a big-name only in bollywood, but across india, which is why a lot of stars
are also expected to flow in from different parts of india to pay their last respects.
the final birdie four sridevi kapoor today -- the final journey.
kenya's decision to ban the manufacture, sale and use of plastic bags last year was celebrated
globally and seen as a major step towards the reduction of plastic-related pollution
in the country.
the ban is seen as one of the toughest in the world.
six months on, the bbc's merchuma has been to see how the ban has
taken effect and whether benefits are now being felt.
a game of cat and mouse.
six months since kenny banned the use of most plastic bags.
now the national environment system is hanging -- hunting down those who break the rule.
we have information that these bags are coming from outside kenya, meaning uganda, tanzania
and somalia and we are trained to follow those leads.
some of the ones we are finding that the vegetable vendors have a label that it is from uganda,
and we are trying to pursue many strategies so these bags can stop coming in.
the ban has pushed plastic bags onto the black market and the government is trying to stop
the trade.
retailers are left with
unused plastic bags and were asked to declare their stock and make plans to dispose of them,
but few did.
six months ago what you could see in market stalls across kenya we re see in market stalls
across kenya were plastic bags that were usually given to customers free of charge by the vendor
's. today each one of them has got only reusable bags which traditionally come at
an extra cost to the buyers.
this is what i use at the moment.
many homes have already adjusted to life without plastic bags.
the reusable bags are 110w plastic bags.
the reusable bags are now a necessity.
plastic containers are now used for food stories.
the containers take a lot of space compared to plastic bags and the food in the containers
is very little, because it you see the size of the container, that's the only thing i
can put in there.
i have to use to containers to feed my family.
so the container, despite the fact they are big, they are taking up
less room than the plastic bags used to, soi less room than the plastic bags used to, so
i have to look for a bigger fridge where i can put everything and be comfortable with
it.
several other african countries have outlawed plastic bags, including rwanda, mauritania
and eritrea, but kenya's ban is seen as one of the toughest in the world.
anyone caught with a plastic bag can be fined up to $500 and manufacturers can be fined
up to $110,000. since the ban took effect, there have been 150 arrests.
sam barrett is the cheaper advocacy at the un environment programme.
we need to see if the hole and the south can move ahead.
if you have a banning kenya but none in uganda, it's possible the plastic to leak across.
what we've seen the la st to leak across.
what we've seen the last six months is huge progress which should be happy about they've
taken which should be happy about they've ta ken great which should be happy about they've
taken great leadership and built a global reputation for caring about the environment
and opening up about new conversations about what you do
about plastic bottles.
this is the third time officials have tried to cut down the use of plastic bags in kenya.
previous attempts were never enforced.
environmentalists are hopeful that this am will lead to larger measures in reducing pollution
in kenya and beyond.
-- that this ban.
0n the day that a supermarket chain in the netherlands has had plastic free oil, let
get in touch with us on the bbc news.
i will read out some of your comments later.
stay with us on the briefing.

0ur headlines: president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, jared kushner, has had
his white house security clearance downgraded.
he now won't have access to many sensitive documents.
the eu's set to publish a draft of the brexit treaty.
it could stoke tensions with britain over a possible hard border in ireland.
let's stay with that now.
for more on this, with me in the studio is professor elaine fahey, reader in european
law at city, university of london.
thanks for braving the snow as the beast from the east is well and truly here.
let's talk about the issue of northern ireland because it's a big focus to the british government
with claims that brussels is making a land grab.
what is your assessment? it's an interesting state of affairs with the legal text to put
meat on the agreement of the joint report of december 20 17. all ofa joint report of
december 20 17. all of a sudden now we see a big?. will northern ireland remain in the
customs union and can this idea of full regulatory alignment actually be put into legal text.
what is your assessment?
there is still so much to try and sort out with this thorny issue and it's become a real
stumbling block.
it has indeed as we saw from the comments of the foreign secretary overnight that there
is a huge question about the practicalities of the enforcement issue.
is it possible to have no ha rd issue.
is it possible to have no hard border? we don't see any proposals from the uk. it's
an enormous legal commitment, so to do this without threatening the single market will
be the key thing on the eu negotiators minds.
let's talk about the law and the eu wants to hold britain to judgment about the law
and the eu wants to hold britain tojudgment in about the law and the eu wants to hold
britain to judgment in the european court of justice hold britain to judgment in the
european court ofjustice following brexit and obviously britain doesn't wa nt brexit
and obviously britain doesn't want it to happen.
where do the negotiations go from there on this issue? with regards to the withdrawal
issues, the eu is clear that the legal text is on -- unambiguous.
they have to enforce
the law in the transition period and there has to be a specific role.
going forward there is quite a lot on governance issues under negotiation and a role for the
court seems very likely if there is so much eu law as part of the agreement.
lots of businesses and companies will be happy for all of these matters to go to arbitration.
it will be very difficult after a0 yea rs of it will be very difficult after a0 years
of membership.
how much of this document is a negotiating gambitand this document is a negotiating gambit
and how much is going to translate into legal terms? we will see a much more concrete legal
solution to what has been agreed, but it does appear that a huge amount of the legal text
will still be fluid and subject to negotiation and it's unlikely that question such as the
border can be resolved here and now.
meanwhile, trade, we don't know what will happen.
we expect to hear from the know what will happen.
we expect to hearfrom the prime minister and a couple of days' time.
but as time ticks away, it's almost unbelievable
that there is a more to discuss on this issue.
there's huge uncertainty over this position which seems to co nsta ntly wa nti ng to over
this position which seems to constantly wanting to leave the customs union despite business
and industry calling for otherwise.
we see the eu negotiation position is clear and it will be very difficult to have anything
close to a close partnership in the absence of respect for the single market and the customs
union itself.
really good to see you.
thanks for coming here's our briefing on some of the key events happening later.
the european court ofjustice will decide whether the uk is able to exclude a polish national,
working in britain, receiving employee rights.
and the marjory stoneman douglas high school will reopen, two weeks after 17 people were
killed in a shooting in florida president putin meets a team of the russian 0lympians
at the kremlin after their performance, under a neutral flag in south korea, was overshadowed
by doping scandals.
this year will mark 100 years since the end of the first world war.
remembrance events will take place around the world but organisers face a challenge
of connecting new generations to those who lost their lives a century ago.
silhouettes representing fallen soldiers will appear around the uk later this year.
it's been inspired by the success of another striking remembrance project from 201a, as
our correspondent robert hall reports.
the tower of london, 201a. a wave of scarlet flowing around the ancient walls.
everyone really -- nearly 9000 ceramic poppies representing a british or colonial servicemen
who died in the four-year conflict.
the installation was called blood sweat glands and seas of red and made a real connection
with the public.
and an estimated 5 million people came here and many of them bought a poppy as their own
tribute to the fallen.
for many of us, the only real link with past conflicts can be found in
our cemeteries or on war memorials.
names from so long ago that it is very difficult for today's generations to make a connection.
but what if these men could return to their cities, towns and villages? this is penshurst
in kent.
51 of the men from this tiny village who volunteered to fight in the first world war never came
home.
and yet, here they sit, ghostly figures in the pews, a powerful physical presence.
it's about actually bringing them back into the community.
how they lived as well as how they died.
martin believes that this installation can inspire other communities across the uk. this
is about physically trying to get them back into the village psyche.
so
when schoolchildren come in here and see the 50 names on the pews, they can identify with
the people, and when you can see where they live when they were up the hill, or there,
or in the choir, you can really identify with them.
villagers here have been fascinated by the ideas of taking the lost of the memorials.
now the government has agreed to help fund more installations like this one.
but other figures have sprung installations like this one.
but otherfigures have sprung up installations like this one.
but other figures have sprung up today linking the past with the present as the armistice
centenary approaches, there but not bear wants us to remember in different ways, and in doing
so, raise funds to help those who had been scarred by more recent conflicts.
in kent, veterans have helped to create an army of tommy 's which, like the poppies
at the tower, will be available to all of us.
the importance of the tommy project is huge to me.
my family had quite a lot of military in there, my grandad, my great uncle were in the
first world war. and i always think of them.
in places of worship, in schools, in public buildings, in fa ct schools, in public buildings,
in fact where ever people gather to remember, the past can become more real.
there's something very fitting that it should come at the end of four years.
it back almost to the homely and the local, and that seems to work very well.
now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre.

we have all the business news coming up, so stay with the coldest snap this winter season
is likely to continue this
week when there is more snow in the forecast.
snow has been falling in the form of showers but particularly in north-east england, they
have pretty impressive snow depths and they are likely to get bigger.
the forecast tomorrow will be more travel disruption and a significant wind-chill.
this icy front has been coming across from siberia, across northern europe and driving
these snow showers across the north sea into eastern areas and some have been pushing west
as well.
during the start of wednesday, it looks like most of the showers will become confined to
northern areas and eastern scotland.
an amber warning remains in force for the eastern side of scotland to the central belt
of scotland and to north-east england,
where there will be five to 15 centimetres.
we could see higher totals over the higher ground.
there will be a lot of disruption across parts of scotla nd of disruption across parts of
scotland and the north east.
further south it looks like the snow showers will ease through the day.
still some pretty heavy ones but good sunny spells in between the showers pushing into
northern ireland as well.
a bitterly cold day and some places barely getting above freezing and add on the strong
wind, it will feel like -5a -10 and a significant wind-chill.
then we look to the south.
this deep area of low pressure made by the portuguese met service as storm emma will
continue to move north into our shores.
full of moisture as it bumps into the cold air across the united kingdom and is likely
to turn to snow.
we could see heavy, disruptive snow pushing into southern counties and into south wales
and pushing north
into south wales and pushing north into the midlands.
further north, plenty of heavy snow showers again across much of central and eastern scotla
nd across much of central and eastern scotland and into northern ireland where we will maintain
those amber warnings, the one across the northeast and also this amber warning across the south
west, new amber warning for disruption.
a very cold they expected on thursday with a high wind chill.
