Chaos at the Oscars as the wrong film is named Best Picture.

:00:00.:00:10.

The team from the movie had already begun gushing speeches

:00:11.:00:31.

when embarrassed organisers admitted their mistake.

:00:32.:00:33.

Is that the craziest Oscar nomination of all time?

:00:34.:00:50.

We'll have the very latest from La La Land.

:00:51.:00:53.

Two and a half years after it was set up

:00:54.:01:04.

the independent inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

:01:05.:01:06.

Driving up the cost of insurance - the Government ruling

:01:07.:01:10.

which could add an average of ?75 to premiums.

:01:11.:01:12.

Thousands of civilians flee their homes as fighting

:01:13.:01:14.

A call from the past, Nokia goes retro and

:01:15.:01:17.

Coming up in sport at 1.30pm, Leicester City prepare for life

:01:18.:01:35.

Eddie Jones criticises Italy's tactics as England are forced to

:01:36.:01:37.

come from behind to win. Good afternoon and welcome

:01:38.:01:54.

to the BBC News at One. It really shouldn't have

:01:55.:01:59.

been that difficult - opening the right envelope

:02:00.:02:01.

at the right time and But at the Oscars last night

:02:02.:02:03.

in front of a global audience of millions it

:02:04.:02:10.

all went horribly wrong. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway

:02:11.:02:12.

announced to the world that the winner of Best Film

:02:13.:02:14.

was La La Land. The mistake was only put right

:02:15.:02:17.

in the middle of gushing speeches by the team behind

:02:18.:02:21.

the modern musical. David Willis now on a twist worthy

:02:22.:02:23.

of any Hollywood blockbuster. What should have been the climax of

:02:24.:02:37.

the glitziest night in tin sell town turned into a Hollywood farce.

:02:38.:02:41.

Warren Beatty was about to announce the Academy Award for Best

:02:42.:02:47.

Picture... And the Academy Award... But seemed confused.

:02:48.:02:51.

LAUGHTER. For Best Picture. In the end, Faye

:02:52.:02:56.

Dunaway made the announcement. La La Land.

:02:57.:02:59.

APPLAUSE La La Land's producers were mid-way

:03:00.:03:02.

through their acceptance speeches when on came the man in the head

:03:03.:03:07.

phones frantically trying to clear the stage. It turned out that La La

:03:08.:03:13.

Land hadn't won the Oscar after all, it belonged to the producers of

:03:14.:03:22.

Moonlight. This is not a joke. Moonlight won Best Picture.

:03:23.:03:33.

Land producer handed the Oscar over as the audience looked on aghast. It

:03:34.:03:38.

was left to an embarrassed Warren Beatty to explain the producer's

:03:39.:03:42.

mistake. I want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope. It

:03:43.:03:51.

said, "Emma Stone, La La Land." That's why I look a long look at

:03:52.:03:56.

Faye and at you. I wasn't trying to be funny. Moonlight, the drama of a

:03:57.:04:03.

gay black man growing up in Miami was dwarfed by La La Land in terms

:04:04.:04:08.

of nomination, but it ended triumphant in the most extraordinary

:04:09.:04:11.

of circumstances. Even in my dreams this could not be true. To hell with

:04:12.:04:15.

dreams, I'm done with it because this is true. Oh my goodness. It

:04:16.:04:23.

capped a record-breaking night for African-American talent which the

:04:24.:04:29.

Oscars have been criticise for overlooking. The star of Moonlight,

:04:30.:04:36.

Mahershala Ali became the first actor to win an Academy Award. Viola

:04:37.:04:41.

Davis was awarded for her role in Fences. Casey Affleck was named Best

:04:42.:04:49.

Actor for his role in Manchester By The Sea. La La Land captured many

:04:50.:05:00.

awards. The star, Emma Stone, picking up the award for Best

:05:01.:05:07.

Actress. I still have a lot of growing and

:05:08.:05:11.

learning and work to do. This guy is a really beautiful symbol to

:05:12.:05:14.

continue on that journey and I'm grateful for that. But who won what

:05:15.:05:23.

was eclipsed by that extraordinary blunder over Best Film. Is that the

:05:24.:05:28.

craziest Oscar nomination of all time? Cool. My heart was a little

:05:29.:05:34.

broken. It is one of those things that gets thrown at you and you kind

:05:35.:05:39.

of choose to lean into it or push away from it. As I said, it was a

:05:40.:05:45.

real honour to be able to give it to them. The blame seems to rest with

:05:46.:05:49.

the people who hand out the winners envelopes of which there are two

:05:50.:05:53.

identical sets kept at either side of the stage. Employees of the

:05:54.:05:58.

accountancy firm PWC hand them to the presenters as they walk on, in a

:05:59.:06:02.

statement PWC said it was trying to work out how the mix-up occurred.

:06:03.:06:08.

The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong envelope and when

:06:09.:06:12.

discovered, the error was corrected, the statement said. PWC has overseen

:06:13.:06:20.

ballot counting at the Oscars for more than 80 years, the fact that

:06:21.:06:24.

such an episode was allowed to play itself out in front of an audience

:06:25.:06:29.

of millions around the world will be a source of soul-searching for some

:06:30.:06:34.

weeks to come. It is just an awards show.

:06:35.:06:38.

The independent inquiry into child sexual abuse is holding its first

:06:39.:06:41.

public hearings today more than two and a half years after it was set

:06:42.:06:44.

The momentum for the inquiry started with the Jimmy Savile scandal

:06:45.:06:49.

and it's expected to take five years to complete.

:06:50.:06:51.

It gets underway with an examination of the mistreatment of British

:06:52.:06:54.

children who were sent to start new lives in Australia

:06:55.:06:56.

Our home affairs correspondent Tom Symonds is at the inquiry.

:06:57.:07:04.

Well, Simon, it has taken a long time to get to this point. A period

:07:05.:07:11.

during which three chair women of this inquiry resigned. The inquiry

:07:12.:07:16.

has been accused of trying to do too much, of trying to reach too far

:07:17.:07:22.

into history. The child migrants maybe something that leads it to be

:07:23.:07:26.

criticised, but it says those children, now adults, are getting

:07:27.:07:29.

old and as a result this has to be an investigation it carries out now.

:07:30.:07:33.

This is an inquiry with the powers of a court to obtain evidence and so

:07:34.:07:39.

many of these people are lawyers. For the victims, and for those

:07:40.:07:43.

accused of responsibility. But it was for the inquiry's own barrister

:07:44.:07:47.

to set out the dark history of Britain's child migrants. Child

:07:48.:07:51.

migration programmes were large scale schemes in which thousands of

:07:52.:07:57.

children, many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, I will legitimate

:07:58.:08:03.

or in the care of the State were permanently migrated to remote parts

:08:04.:08:12.

of the British Empire. They were being offered a new life and

:08:13.:08:17.

countries like Australia, what was described as white, Anglo-Saxon

:08:18.:08:20.

stock, but the inquiry will hear they were given little understanding

:08:21.:08:24.

of how their lives were about to change. Many will say they were

:08:25.:08:28.

taken without the consent or the informed consent of their parents or

:08:29.:08:31.

guardians. Many will say they were wrongly told that they were orphans.

:08:32.:08:36.

Separated from their siblings, and deprived of basic details about

:08:37.:08:43.

their identities. But this is an inquiry about sexual abuse at a

:08:44.:08:50.

Catholic school in Australia. The international association will say

:08:51.:08:54.

that we were sent to what we can only describe as labour camps, where

:08:55.:09:01.

we were starved, beaten and abused in despickable ways. The woman who

:09:02.:09:08.

uncovered the child migrant scandal in the 1980s will also give

:09:09.:09:10.

evidence. We want to know what happened. We want to know who did it

:09:11.:09:14.

and we want to know who covered it up for so long? Of course, we need

:09:15.:09:18.

to know about it. There are consequences for children today. Of

:09:19.:09:26.

the long-term consequences... And it will be harrowing, David Hill is a

:09:27.:09:30.

former child migrant who has extensively researched the history.

:09:31.:09:35.

And he will give evidence as part of the hearings which will take place

:09:36.:09:38.

over the next two weeks. I said at the beginning that this inquiry had

:09:39.:09:40.

its problems. Well, this lunch time, there is another problem. The

:09:41.:09:47.

inquiry has had to apologise to people that it sent an e-mail

:09:48.:09:52.

containing the e-mail addresses of the other people copied in. Some of

:09:53.:09:55.

the people are people who have been sexually abused. It is calling some

:09:56.:10:02.

con citizen nation. The inquiry is carrying out an investigation and is

:10:03.:10:05.

going to make a statement shortly. Simon.

:10:06.:10:06.

Tom Symonds, thank you very much. And there's full background to

:10:07.:10:09.

the inquiry on the BBC News website. Average car insurance premiums

:10:10.:10:12.

could increase by up to ?75 a year A new formula for calculating

:10:13.:10:19.

compensation payments for those who suffer long-term injuries has

:10:20.:10:25.

been announced by the The Association of British Insurers

:10:26.:10:28.

called the decision "crazy". With me is our personal finance

:10:29.:10:34.

correspondent Simon Gompertz. What's happened and why so much?

:10:35.:10:43.

Well, it is because to do with the few thousand most seriously injured

:10:44.:10:49.

people every year from road dents and also from medical negligence and

:10:50.:10:53.

sometimes paying for these people to be cared for for the rest of their

:10:54.:10:58.

lives if they're paralysed or bedridden can cost millions of

:10:59.:11:01.

pounds. Insurers are saying the millions of pounds will more than

:11:02.:11:04.

double in each case as a result of this new formula of the basically,

:11:05.:11:08.

the insurers are allowed to look at the cost of it, give you a lump sum

:11:09.:11:13.

and say well that lump sum is less because we know that you'll be able

:11:14.:11:17.

to invest it and earn an income on it and use that as well, but the

:11:18.:11:20.

Government is saying the formula for calculating that needs to be much

:11:21.:11:23.

stricter rather than assuming people will earn interest and income,

:11:24.:11:26.

they're telling the insurers that people are likely to earn less than

:11:27.:11:30.

nothing. Actually a negative interest rate because interest rates

:11:31.:11:34.

are so low and insurers are warning that's going to ramp up their cost

:11:35.:11:39.

by billions and the impact as you said on road motor premiums for

:11:40.:11:45.

insurance for instance will be the typical comprehensive policy ?450,

:11:46.:11:49.

up ?75. For young people, who are the ones who get the most expensive

:11:50.:11:53.

injuries, up by ?1,000. However, lawyers are saying hold on here.

:11:54.:11:57.

Your insurance companies have been doing very well out of the market in

:11:58.:12:02.

recent years, you should have been putting money by to cope with this.

:12:03.:12:05.

The Government is saying it can have a look at this formula and see if it

:12:06.:12:09.

needs to be reshaped so the impact isn't so dire.

:12:10.:12:10.

Simon, thank you very much. The Government is facing calls

:12:11.:12:20.

from Conservative MPs to scrap plans to limit access

:12:21.:12:22.

to a key disability benefit. It's thought changes to the rules

:12:23.:12:24.

on who qualifies for the personal independence payment could affect

:12:25.:12:27.

around 160,000 people. Let's speak to Norman Smith

:12:28.:12:29.

who's at Westminster. Are the Government listening? Well,

:12:30.:12:34.

I think they're listening, but they're also in real difficulties

:12:35.:12:39.

here over disability benefits. Remember the last time a

:12:40.:12:42.

Conservative chancellor, George Osborne, sought to cut personal

:12:43.:12:45.

independence payments he had to beat an ungamely retreat. Now, this time,

:12:46.:12:49.

the Government is not seeking to put personal independence payments, but

:12:50.:12:53.

they are seeking to curb access to them after two court rulings which

:12:54.:12:57.

massively expanded eligibility to this benefit. Basically extending it

:12:58.:13:01.

to people with mental health problems. The Government's view is

:13:02.:13:06.

this not what PIPs were designed for, but also the potential bill is

:13:07.:13:12.

huge, up to ?3.7 billion. All of which said, there is a real head of

:13:13.:13:19.

steam building up, I think, already some Tory MPs signalling they may

:13:20.:13:23.

revolt because of the way it has been handled. The announcement was

:13:24.:13:27.

put out on the day of the Stoke and cope land by-elections when people

:13:28.:13:30.

weren't really paying attention because the disability charnts say

:13:31.:13:34.

they haven't been consulted and in part too, because of comments by a

:13:35.:13:40.

man called George Freeman who said the Government wanted to focus PIPs

:13:41.:13:45.

on the really disabled, not those who were having to take pills at

:13:46.:13:49.

home because they suffer from anxiety. He apologised for the

:13:50.:13:55.

remarks, but the Government could be defeated possibly in the House of

:13:56.:13:57.

Lords and if that happens, the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, could be

:13:58.:14:01.

facing a big, billion pound black hole in his Budget. Norman, thank

:14:02.:14:03.

you very much, Norman Smith. The BBC has ordered an investigation

:14:04.:14:09.

into reports TV licence collectors have been targeting vulnerable

:14:10.:14:13.

peoplespurred on by have been targeting vulnerable

:14:14.:14:17.

people spurred on by A Daily Mail investigation

:14:18.:14:18.

claims bosses at Capita - which collects the fee -

:14:19.:14:22.

promised bonuses of up to ?15,000 Schools are facing their first

:14:23.:14:24.

real-terms cuts to funding since the mid 90s -

:14:25.:14:30.

that's according to The Institute for Fiscal Studies has

:14:31.:14:32.

examined education spending across the board from early

:14:33.:14:35.

years to university. The National Association

:14:36.:14:41.

of Head Teachers and the National Association of Governors have

:14:42.:14:43.

written an open letter to the Chancellor asking him to make

:14:44.:14:46.

schools a priority in the budget. Our education correspondent

:14:47.:14:49.

Gillian Hargreaves reports. This High School in west Sussex is

:14:50.:14:59.

struggling to make ends meet. According to the head, class sizes

:15:00.:15:03.

might have to get bigger and teachers may not be replaced when

:15:04.:15:07.

they leave. Heads are warning that rising costs mean there is less

:15:08.:15:10.

money to go around. Now, in an open letter to the Chancellor of the

:15:11.:15:13.

Exchequer, heads and school governors say they need more cash.

:15:14.:15:21.

In the letter say governing bodies and schools are being forced to make

:15:22.:15:24.

impossible choices as a result of insufficient funding. It is a claim

:15:25.:15:29.

that doesn't surprise parents. We are facing an unsustainable funding

:15:30.:15:31.

situation in our schools and the Government is not listening. We felt

:15:32.:15:35.

that as parents we had to enter the debate to make the parent voice

:15:36.:15:39.

heard because nobody voted for the cuts and nobody wants to see school

:15:40.:15:42.

funding cut. There has been significant

:15:43.:15:46.

investment in England's schools in the past 20 years, but teachers say

:15:47.:15:52.

running costs are going up as are pension contributions and national

:15:53.:15:56.

insurance. They say balancing the books is becoming increasingly

:15:57.:16:00.

difficult. So while there will be cuts, that's

:16:01.:16:04.

after years of education being a priority. The cut to school spending

:16:05.:16:12.

per pupil will be 6.5%. That will reverse about 20% of the growth in

:16:13.:16:16.

school spending per pupil that happened over the 2000s. It is

:16:17.:16:19.

clearly a large cut, but it will still leave the big increase that

:16:20.:16:23.

happened over the 2000s there. The Government points out it is spending

:16:24.:16:27.

?40 billion on schools in England this year. The highest cash figure

:16:28.:16:28.

ever. I don't think the next budget coming

:16:29.:16:38.

soon is going to be particularly good news if we're asking for a big

:16:39.:16:42.

increase in the total budget. With that budget only ten days away,

:16:43.:16:46.

schools will be competing against other public services to try to

:16:47.:16:50.

convince the Chancellor to give them more money. Gillian Hargreaves, BBC

News. Chaos at the Oscars as the wrong

:16:52.:16:52.

film is named Best Picture. This is not a joke, Moonlight has

:16:53.:17:10.

won Best picture. Moonlight, best picture.

Coming up in sport, Leicester City prepare for life after Claudio

Ranieri. The Premier League champions face Liverpool tonight

:17:22.:17:24.

having dropped into the relegation zone for the first time this season.

:17:25.:17:33.

It's been two weeks since the mysterious death

:17:34.:17:35.

in Malaysia of Kim Jong-nam, half-brother of the

:17:36.:17:36.

Today the South Korean security service blamed their counterparts

:17:37.:17:42.

in North Korea for the attack, thought to involve

:17:43.:17:44.

But what more do we know about those accused of planning

:17:45.:17:48.

Our correspondent in Kuala Lumpa, Rupert Wingfield Hayes,

:17:49.:17:51.

This was one of the most brazen killings of recent years.

:17:52.:18:00.

This is the spot where Kim Jong-nam was attacked.

:18:01.:18:02.

This spot is overlooked by at least six CCTV cameras.

:18:03.:18:09.

Just a few metres away, in this cafe, at one of those tables,

:18:10.:18:12.

four North Korean men were sitting watching.

:18:13.:18:14.

All four are now wanted by the Malaysian authorities -

:18:15.:18:16.

one is reported to be a known North Korean security agent.

:18:17.:18:23.

After the attack was over, they got up and headed for departures.

:18:24.:18:26.

A few minutes later they boarded a flight to Jakarta and on to Dubai.

:18:27.:18:36.

What about the two young women accused of carrying out the attack?

:18:37.:18:39.

One is from Vietnam, the other, Indonesia.

:18:40.:18:42.

Siti Aishah was working in this hotel behind me here,

:18:43.:18:45.

in a massage parlour on the second floor.

:18:46.:18:49.

Malaysian massage parlours are often a front for the sex industry.

:18:50.:18:52.

And it's fairly clear both these women were living a very

:18:53.:18:55.

Aishah told police she was then approached by a man calling himself

:18:56.:19:02.

'James' and he offered her a chance to take part in a reality TV show.

:19:03.:19:10.

The final key suspect wanted by Malaysians is thought to be holed

:19:11.:19:17.

Hyon Kwang Song is the second secretary

:19:18.:19:23.

What his alleged role is, we don't know, and we'll

:19:24.:19:28.

probably never find out, because he has diplomatic immunity.

:19:29.:19:32.

So much of this story doesn't add up.

:19:33.:19:35.

Why hire two foreign women to carry out the hit?

:19:36.:19:41.

Was Kim's killing a chilling warning to North Korea's enemies, or did

:19:42.:19:50.

they think they would get away with murder and

:19:51.:19:52.

Dario Gradi is to appeal against his suspension

:19:53.:20:02.

Gradi was Crewe's director of football at the time

:20:03.:20:05.

And the background to this is... ? Dario Gradi was suspended by the

:20:06.:20:22.

FA on November 25, the exact reasons we are not quite clear on, there

:20:23.:20:26.

were reports a few days later that back in the 1970s Mr Gradi was

:20:27.:20:31.

involved in the smoothing over the claim of sexual abuse against

:20:32.:20:35.

Chelsea's then Chief Scout, a man who has since died but was accused

:20:36.:20:40.

of sexual abuse. Dario Gradi denies any role in that but we are not sure

:20:41.:20:44.

whether it is related to that alter matters at Crewe as well, we will

:20:45.:20:48.

have to wait to find out on that. Nevertheless, Dario Gradi keen to

:20:49.:20:53.

clear his name from EU denies any wrongdoing, we understand his

:20:54.:20:55.

solicitors have been gathering character references and an appeal

:20:56.:20:58.

to the FA is imminent. Richard, thank you very much,

:20:59.:21:00.

in reinforcements and supplies. UN aid workers say they're

:21:26.:21:28.

sides are taking casualties. This is the Islamist group's last

News, northern Iraq. Some 500,000 NHS documents

:23:16.:23:16.

containing medical information, including cancer test results,

:23:17.:23:18.

were mistakenly put in storage rather than being sent to the GP

:23:19.:23:20.

or filed in the patients' records. Explain what on earth happened here.

:23:21.:23:32.

Between 2011 and 2016 it transpires half a million documents went

:23:33.:23:39.

missing because they were sent from hospitals to GP surgeries and

:23:40.:23:43.

patients, and if they were returned because someone had changed their

:23:44.:23:46.

address or moved to a different GP they were supposed to be re-routed.

:23:47.:23:50.

That didn't happen for whatever reason and they ended up in a

:23:51.:23:55.

warehouse. We're told by NHS England they have been rooted through to the

:23:56.:23:59.

correct places now but of the 500,000, although a lot of them are

:24:00.:24:02.

fairly routine bits of correspondence where there is no

:24:03.:24:06.

concern, there are 2500 they are still following up to see whether

:24:07.:24:10.

the patient's treatment was affected in

:24:11.:24:25.

any way the GP did not get the right information to carry out the right

:24:26.:24:28.

form of care. So those are still being looked at,

:24:29.:24:31.

there is no evidence there is any problem with them but we don't know

:24:32.:24:33.

for sure people were completely unaffected. Have we had any response

:24:34.:24:35.

from the Government? They say last summer Jeremy Hunt

:24:36.:24:38.

notified MPs there was an issue they were looking at and that Select

:24:39.:24:40.

committees were informed as well, but what Labour is saying today is

:24:41.:24:43.

it was a very brief mention, no one said anything about half a million

:24:44.:24:45.

and they are alleging something has been covered up. This is what

:24:46.:24:47.

Labour's front bench health spokesperson had to say today.

:24:48.:24:49.

This is an absolute scandal, patient safety has been put

:24:50.:24:52.

at risk and NHS bosses are still investigating

:24:53.:24:54.

whether there are still patients at risk as a result

:24:55.:24:56.

This has happened under Jeremy Hunt's watch.

:24:57.:24:59.

He often goes on about transparency, yet it appears they've

:25:00.:25:01.

Labour has actually been granted what is called an urgent notice

:25:02.:25:12.

question in the Commons this afternoon, they have the right to

:25:13.:25:15.

put questions to Jeremy Hunt. We will keep a close eye on what

comes out of that. You can, thank you.

Torrential rain over the weekend in Chile has prompted mudslides

:25:22.:25:23.

into the Maipo river, cutting off clean water to millions

:25:24.:25:26.

of people in Santiago and killing three people.

:25:27.:25:27.

The country's central region has had months of droughts

:25:28.:25:30.

and a series of deadly wildfires which burned for weeks.

:25:31.:25:33.

Our correspondent Kathryn Stanczyszyn reports.

:25:34.:25:35.

This water took everyone by surprise.

:25:36.:25:39.

Heavy rains hit Chile over the weekend, transforming rivers

:25:40.:25:42.

into raging torrents and villages into mudbaths.

:25:43.:25:46.

The normally dry summer conditions at this time of year mean flash

:25:47.:25:49.

flooding has been particularly severe, with rain rushing

off the Andes mountains in the area around the capital,

:25:54.:25:56.

Santiago, and into the valleys below.

:25:57.:25:58.

And some of the consequences have been severe.

TRANSLATION: At the national level we're reporting preliminary figures

:26:11.:26:13.

of 3337 people cut off, three deaths because of this

:26:14.:26:16.

tragedy, seven people we can't locate and 207 people in shelters.

:26:17.:26:18.

A million people now face another urgent problem -

:26:19.:26:20.

It means long waits at emergency tanks to fill up

:26:21.:26:24.

The rivers that normally provide the water are now contaminated

:26:25.:26:30.

with mud and could take days to clear.

:26:31.:26:38.

Bridges and roads have been washed away, and

emergency crews are helping clear rubble and earth.

The London Stock Exchange says its planned merger

with the German financial exchange Deutsche Boerse is likely to be

The Government says it has established a transitional fund

They were once THE name in mobile phone handsets -

:27:51.:27:54.

that is, until smartphones came on the scene.

:27:55.:27:56.

But now Nokia has launched a comeback bid.

:27:57.:27:58.

The company unveiled three new smartphones

:27:59.:28:00.

in Barcelona last night, before the start of

:28:01.:28:02.

Mobile World Congress, the phone industry's

:28:03.:28:03.

But it was a reissue of a past handset that got

:28:04.:28:07.

Our technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones sent this report.

:28:08.:28:19.

Barcelona and, as as the mobile phone industry arrives

:28:20.:28:21.

for its annual jamboree, there is nostalgia in the air.

:28:22.:28:30.

Nokia, a name that used the rule the mobile world

:28:31.:28:37.

For the Finnish firm which licensed the brand,

:28:38.:28:48.

this was its first chance to make a big splash and, along

:28:49.:28:51.

with a range of new smartphones, it unveiled something very retro,

:28:52.:28:54.

Let me reintroduce the iconic Nokia 3310.

:28:55.:28:57.

You can't do much with this phone except make calls

:28:58.:28:59.

and play a game of Snake, but the battery last

:29:00.:29:01.

We asked, "What is the most iconic device you have seen from Nokia?"

:29:02.:29:13.

Let's have some fun and we created this device for the consumers.

:29:14.:29:19.

Now this may be fun, but let's face it, it is a bit of a gimmick

:29:20.:29:23.

if Nokia is to become a major force in the mobile world again,

:29:24.:29:26.

it won't through the 3310, but for its new range

:29:27.:29:28.

The company claims this model is already selling well in China,

:29:29.:29:32.

but competition in a market where all smartphones look

:29:33.:29:34.

So, perhaps, it was smart to look back as well as forward.

:29:35.:29:38.

By bringing out this truly iconic device, which has

:29:39.:29:41.

got bags of nostalgia, for many people it was

:29:42.:29:44.

their first mobile phone, it catches their attention

:29:45.:29:46.

But will the new and old Nokia appeal to the phone buying public?

:29:47.:29:50.

Maybe with my parents that would work, but I don't think

:29:51.:29:53.

with our generation that that would be something people

:29:54.:29:55.

I would switch my Apple phone for that thing.

:29:56.:29:58.

REPORTER: Even if it couldn't go on the internet?

:29:59.:30:01.

Well, then, I think I will change my mind!

:30:02.:30:05.

And here's another phone trying for a comeback.

:30:06.:30:10.

This is the BlackBerry Keyone, launched by a Chinese firm

Time for a look at the weather, here's Nick Miller.

:30:28.:30:31.

It is good for filling out the I Spy book of weather over the next few

:30:32.:30:37.

minutes, it is all going on. We have had heavy showers in Cornwall today,

:30:38.:30:43.

threatening skies, big clouds from this Weather Watcher picture from

:30:44.:30:46.

East Sussex. But Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland have had drier

:30:47.:30:50.

weather, quite pleasant for some, but not for everyone. Look on the

:30:51.:30:55.

rain snow radar, snow to relatively low levels in Dumfries and Galloway

:30:56.:30:58.

at the moment, elsewhere you can see the showers and this is why so much

:30:59.:31:02.

is going on in the weather not just today but throughout this week, low

:31:03.:31:06.

pressure is close by and around the area of low pressure we have drawn

:31:07.:31:20.

colder air back in across the UK, so remember the start of last week got

:31:21.:31:22.

as high as 18 Celsius, we will not see that this week, eight for some

:31:23.:31:25.

today if you are lucky. You can see all of the showers across England

:31:26.:31:28.

and Wales, perhaps noble sum across parts of southern Scotland and

:31:29.:31:30.

northern England. It is quite windy into southern England and South

:31:31.:31:32.

Wales with the showers, drier, brighter moments in between, but

:31:33.:31:35.

hey, thunder and lightning for some of these as well and if you get Wid

:31:36.:31:39.

of a shower it may not be long before another comes along and the

:31:40.:31:43.

risk of longer spells of brain for southern Scotland and northern

:31:44.:31:47.

England. One or two showers into Northern Ireland but also sunshine

:31:48.:31:49.

and elsewhere in Scotland lighter winds, sunshine and it doesn't

:31:50.:32:09.

feel too bad for some. This evening any rain, sleet and snow in southern

:32:10.:32:13.

Scotland and northern England should push into the North Sea but the

:32:14.:32:15.

showers continue elsewhere in England and Wales, wetter weather

:32:16.:32:17.

coming back into western Scotland and Northern Ireland later in the

:32:18.:32:19.

night, and that means that as temperatures dipped it is a recipe

:32:20.:32:22.

for Prost and widespread ice into tomorrow morning on untreated

:32:23.:32:24.

surfaces so do be aware of that. Quite windy Wid early wet weather in

:32:25.:32:26.

Northern Ireland, pushing on it north-west England, West Wales,

:32:27.:32:28.

especially the hills, and elsewhere you may find things quieter compared

:32:29.:32:32.

with today, and with single figure temperatures. By Wednesday, frost

:32:33.:32:37.

and ice again to start the day, first day of March, meteorological

:32:38.:32:42.

spring under way, wetter weather from the south feeds northwards,

:32:43.:32:45.

there could be seed and snow on the hills are especially as you get

:32:46.:32:48.

further north. Somewhat quieter for us on Thursday for a time, showers

:32:49.:32:52.

heading into Northern Ireland and wetter weather for some on Friday

:32:53.:32:56.

but turning less cold in the South later this week but still on the

:32:57.:33:00.

chilly side across the northern half of the UK. Did you get all that,

:33:01.:33:04.

Simon? All of it! Thanks very much.

:33:05.:33:08.

A reminder of our main story this lunchtime...

:33:09.:33:10.

Chaos at the Oscars as the wrong film is named Best Picture.

:33:11.:33:14.

This is not a joke, Moonlight has won Best picture. Moonlight, Best

:33:15.:33:20.

Picture. That's all from the BBC News at One,

:33:21.:33:21.

so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:33:22.:33:25.

news teams where you are.
