Hello, I'm David Harper with the BBC News.

A medical evacuation route is due to open in Yemen later on Monday for the first time in three years. A flight operated by the United Nations will carry critically ill patients out of the rebel-held capital Sana'a. A Saudi-led military coalition controls the airspace and has been blocking civilian flights. The UN's Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen Lise Grande welcomed the development.

It's taken two years of intensive discussions, asking the parties to agree on the modalities that we can bring people who cannot get treated in northern Yemen to places where they can get the help that they need in order to survive. Finally, we have an agreement by everyone. That's a major breakthrough.

Britain's government is to announce plans later for what the Prime Minister Boris Johnson has called fundamental changes to the system for dealing with convicted terrorists following another stabbing attack. Sudesh Amman stabbed two people in South London on Sunday before he was shot dead by police. He had been under police surveillance following his release from prison last month, halfway through a sentence for possessing and distributing the terrorist material.

Britain and the European Union are due to release details about how they plan to deal with the next stage of the Brexit process later today. Boris Johnson is expected to say that there is no need for a free trade agreement that involves the UK accepting a lot of rules from Brussels. The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier will publish a draft document that will spell out the kind of commitments to fair economic competition. It'll ask from the UK and return for a free trade deal. Adam Fleming has this report.

Known as the Mandate, this is the EU's detailed opening negotiating position for the next phase of talks with the UK. It'll provide clues about what areas the EU might prioritize and how it intends to proceed. It's also been an opportunity for the EU to spell out in more detail what kind of commitments to fair economic competition it will ask from the UK and return for generous free trade deal. Officials in Brussels were dismayed at the tone of briefings from the British government over the weekend which suggests the next phase of negotiations might be as rocky as the last.

In the biggest event of the United States sporting calendar, America football Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs have beaten the San Francisco 49ers 31 point to 20. It's the first Super Bowl title for the Kansas City Chiefs for 50 years, and was watched by an estimated 100 million Americans. President Trump tweeted his congratulations mistakenly saying the Chiefs had made the Great State of Kansas proud.

That's the latest BBC news.
