The White House promises not to repeat an allegation that British | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
The assurance comes after GCHQ took the unprecedented step of calling | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
the claims "nonsense" and "utterly ridiculous". | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
We'll have the latest with our security | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
The SNP insist there will be a second referendum | :00:22. | :00:30. | |
on Scotland's independence and that no UK Prime Minister should | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
The former Chancellor George Osborne has been appointed editor | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
of the London Evening Standard but says he'll remain an MP. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
There's a warning of a funding shortage for schools, | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
despite record spending by the government. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
And Leicester will face Atletico Madrid in the quarter | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
Coming up in sports at half past on BBC News, it's | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Colin Tizzard's Cue Card is one of the favourites on the final | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
It's rare for Britain's intelligence community to make a public | :01:09. | :01:40. | |
So the fact that GCHQ felt it had to rebut allegations that it | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
spied on Donald Trump shows how seriously they took | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
the comments made by the White House press secretary, | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
GCHQ said the claims were "nonsense, utterly ridiculous, | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
And in the last couple of hours, Downing Street says it's been | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
promised by the White House that the allegations | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
It is an extraordinary claim, that Donald Trump was bugged by GCHQ on | :02:05. | :02:18. | |
the orders of Barack Obama, a claim that has led to strenuous denials | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
from London. It was first tweeted by President Trump who said his phone | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
had been tapped before his inauguration. He said President | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
Obama was a bad or sick guy. The intelligence committee said there | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
was no evidence. The evidence remains the same, we do not have any | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
evidence that took place. We have cleared that up, we have seen no | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
evidence of that. Where is the president getting the information | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
about being bugged by GCHQ? Apparently from Fox knows. Sources | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
have told Fox news that President Obama could have done probably dead | :03:01. | :03:08. | |
used any foreign intelligence service to get this information. -- | :03:09. | :03:19. | |
probably did. These are merely pointing out that I think there is | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
widespread reporting that throughout the election there was surveillance | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
than on a variety of people. If the White House reporters were sceptical | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
GCHQ was even less impressed. The agency rarely comment on anything | :03:36. | :03:36. | |
but today said... Do you believe the GCHQ spokesman or | :03:37. | :03:59. | |
the President Trump spokesman? Which one you choose to believe bullet -- | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
depends on your political views on what is going on in the United | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
States. Downing Street said it had told the Americans that the GCHQ | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
claim was ridiculous and said the White House had given assurances the | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
claim would not be repeated. Our security correspondent, | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Frank Gardner, is with me. Is this damaging? Yes. Number 10 and | :04:22. | :04:32. | |
the White House will be making efforts to put a gloss over it and | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
draw a line of it and see it is finished but it is a pretty poor | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
state of affairs when Britain has to publicly contradict and strongly | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
contradict its closest ally to say that there is no credence in the | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
senior White House spokesman statement. That is not a good state | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
of affairs at all. This comes on the back of a very frosty relationship | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
between President Trump's administration and his intelligence | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
community. Britain is part of the intelligence sharing community of | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
Britain, the US, Canada and New Zealand. They are not allowed to spy | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
on each other. US intelligence bugged Angela Merkel's phone and | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
almost out the other leaders as well be considered to be friendly. I can | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
understand how these conspiracy theories arise but in this case | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
there was no evidence and it is very rare for DCH it and see something | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
like this publicly. A meeting was held in Downing Street earlier this | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
week about how to respond and when Sean Spicer continued to repeat his | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
allegations on Thursday there very strongly worded statement came out | :05:47. | :05:48. | |
last night. The deputy leader of | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
the Scottish National Party has insisted there will be | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
a second referendum Opening the party's spring | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
conference in Aberdeen, Angus Robertson said | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
the Prime Minister was "panicking" when she tried | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
to draw a line under the SNP's proposed timetable | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
for another referendum. Theresa May has been | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
speaking in the last hour at the Conservative Spring Conference | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
in Cardiff and reiterated that independence would be "bad | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
for Scotland, bad for the UK Our political correspondent | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
Iain Watson has the latest. At the SNP Conference it is hardly | :06:18. | :06:30. | |
surprising the focus is on a second referendum on Scottish independence. | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
Legally it is Westminster that take the decision. Here it feels like the | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
campaign is already under way. Members are delighted at the call | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
for another vote within two years but pro-union campaigners do not | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
want it to happen at all. The SNP deputy leader had a message for them | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
and the Prime Minister. People of this country will have their choice. | :06:56. | :07:05. | |
They will not be denied their say. The stirrings of a standing ovation | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
spurred him on. No UK Prime Minister should dare to stand in the way of | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
Scotland's democracy. The SNP spring Conference in Aberdeen was supposed | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
to be discussing a range of issues. Health service, education, skills | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
and training, these will still be debated but there is only one item | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
on this agenda and that of the arguments in favour of a second | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
Scottish independence referendum. Next week Nicola Sturgeon will get | :07:39. | :07:40. | |
the backing of the Scottish Parliament for a referendum and she | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
will invite rodders abroad by arguing she is standing up not just | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
for Scotland but would conceive. The Prime Minister has not put herself | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
in opposition to me or independence, she is within her rights to argue | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
against independence, she is putting herself in opposition to the | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
democratic will of the Scottish parliament. That is not a | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
sustainable position. Judy and card of the Prime Minister made the case | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
for the UK remaining United, Enon too subtle reference to the | :08:10. | :08:18. | |
referendum campaign when it comes. It is clear that using Brexit as the | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
pretext to engineer a second independence referendum has been the | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
SNP's sole objective ever since last June. It would be bad for Scotland, | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
bad for the United Kingdom and bad for us all. The coming negotiations | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
with the EU will be vital for everyone in the United Kingdom. So | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
far the arguments have not been so much about independence, more about | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
the timing of an independence referendum but it is not a trivial | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
dispute. In politics as in comedy timing can often be crucial to | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
success. In a moment, we'll be speaking | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
to our correspondent in Westminster, but first let's speak to Iain who's | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
in Aberdeen. Very strong language from Angus | :08:59. | :09:07. | |
Robertson. This is the SNP not wanting to back down. No. Very | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
uncompromising language from the SNP's deputy leader. Next week the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
Scottish parliament will vote back in favour of an independence | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
referendum. Labour, the Lib Dems at the Conservatives will oppose it but | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
with the help of the Scottish Greens Nicola Sturgeon will win that fog. | :09:27. | :09:34. | |
The SNP is thinking if the timing is before Brexit then the government at | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
Westminster will be too tied up in negotiations to run what they see | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
other projects they are campaign. Secondly they think of it happens | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
before Brexit then around 200,000 EU nationals who live in Scotland are | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
more likely to back independence than last time in 2014. For those | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
reasons and others to reason me is determined not to back down so | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
although the SNP sounded uncompromising she made it clear | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
that a referendum before Brexit would be bad for Britain. Some | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
questions over whether she would allow it to happen before the next | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
general election in 2020. The SNP failed by keeping the focus on the | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
independence referendum at the conference they cannot really lose | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
because they can see Westminster has been in transit and if they refuse | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
our timescale and the whole -- the will be heard as if the back | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
independence this time. Important local elections happening in | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Scotland. A message on a second independence referendum fires up the | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
activists. Opening of the do well in those elections that will put | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
further pressure onto these are me -- teddies are me. The Prime | :10:58. | :11:09. | |
Minister not going to back down. The key question for the Prime Minister | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
is if she is not keen to old it now then when? Nicola Sturgeon tried to | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
put the ball back in her court asking her to set the times but the | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
Prime Minister did not shine any new light on it and added to the battle | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
lines the Prime Minister attacking the SNP for using Brexit as a | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
pretext to get a second referendum in Scotland and the SNP saying they | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
are not having any compromises forthcoming from the government. | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Theresa May will decide if and when I referendum is held. The question | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
will be whether Scottish voters are deciding on what any Brexit deal is | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
at the time or whether they will be influenced by how the process as to | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
whether to give them this referendum has been handled. | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
The former Chancellor George Osborne has been appointed editor | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
of the London Evening Standard newspaper. | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
He's due to edit the paper four days a week from May and says he intends | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
to continue as the MP for Tatton in Cheshire. | :12:21. | :12:22. | |
The newspaper's owner said George Osborne had been chosen | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
because his "socially liberal and economically pragmatic" views | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Ben Wright. | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
He is used to being featured on the front pages, no George Osborne will | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
decide what is on one, becoming editor of a major newspaper less | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
than a year after being sacked from the cabinet following the EU | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
referendum. I will speak for London and Londoners through this paper as | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
its editor and we will judge whatever the government does, | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
whatever the mayor does, I guess whether it is good for London or not | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
and if it is not then we will seize all and we will not be afraid to do | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
that. If it is good for London we will back it. He has spent his | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
entire life in politics, six years running the Treasury after building | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
his career within the Tory party as an MP and adviser to previous | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
leaders but before politics he wanted to be journalist. He did not | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
get a break or a job and will jump straight into the editor's hair of | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
the Evening Standard. The deeper's owner said he was pleased with the | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
appointment. We hope the fact we have a trade deficit under very | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
important financial centre will count in our favour. The government | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
has chosen not to make the economy the priority in this negotiation. | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
His new job will give him a platform to trumpet London's interests and | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
the city as the government begins Brexit. I was shocked. I thought it | :13:57. | :14:04. | |
was fake news. Why is he doing it? Not for the money. I can only | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
conclude he wants to build the Evening Standard into an alternative | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
power base to Theresa May and in the event of Brexit going pear shaped he | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
will use this power base to launch the attack. The mayor of London | :14:17. | :14:24. | |
treated his congratulations. Two powerful voices shaping the | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
capital's future. George Osborne has been busy in rising -- advising a | :14:28. | :14:38. | |
major investment firm. A juggling of jobs perhaps without precedent in | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
Parliament. He may have left parliament but this appointment puts | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
him back on the front line of politics. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Our Media Editor, Amol Rajan, is outside the Standard's | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
It is hard to overstate what a surprise this was. Yes. One of the | :14:52. | :15:05. | |
most shocking appointments of an editor in Fleet Street's living | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
memory. The question is what George Osborne is in it for. He is someone | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
of limited journalistic experience although he has immense political | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
ambition and it will be interesting to see what his relationship with | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
the Tory government is like. Last year he was unceremoniously | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
dismissed by Theresa May. I think he wants to be grenade back at the | :15:30. | :15:32. | |
government and make sure he is still a political force in the land. The | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
question is how he reconciles this with his job as an MP. I was an | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
editor in that building for three years and it is a full-time job. I | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
spent 100 hours a week working very hard. It is managing a team, | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
commercial obligations as well. How to reconcile that with his work for | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
the world's against asset manager, four days a month, and his job as an | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
MP, remains to be seen. If I worked a bit, I would think he would be | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
editor of the Evening Standard long after he is MP for Tatton. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Some schools in England may be receiving more Government money, | :16:12. | :16:13. | |
but research out today suggests it will be all but cancelled out | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
by increases in the cost of pay, pensions and national insurance | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
The Government says funding for all schools | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
But according to the Education Policy Institute, budget pressures | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
will hit every school and particularly those | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
Here's our education correspondent, Gillian Hargreaves. | :16:30. | :16:42. | |
This primary School in Southwark in south London has been well funded | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
compared to other schools, something the Government is determined to | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
change to make the system fairer. It faces a shortfall of 14% in its | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
budget between now and 2020. It is the additional stuff we have in | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
school, the additional Apogee and at ease for children, sports coaches, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
the services we bring in to support learning such as speech therapists, | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
art therapists, sports coaches, we would have to look at cutting those | :17:13. | :17:23. | |
things in the first instance. Ultimately we are looking at job | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
cuts, however. The Government says it is spending ?40 billion on | :17:26. | :17:27. | |
schools in England this year, according to the Education Policy | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
Institute, even with a fairer funding formula all schools will buy | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
better have less money. The real terms loss will be on average | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
?74,000, rising to ?291,000 for secondary schools, equating to two | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
teachers for every primary school and six for secondary schools. | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
It is a very tricky time for the Government because they are | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
introducing this long-awaited reform, yet it comes against a | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
backdrop of much wider funding pressures for schools. A very | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
simplistic but perhaps not realistic solution would be to put more money | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
in the pot. The Government says it recognises | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
the pressure schools face and will help them make savings that should | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
not impact on the quality of teaching. Gillian Hargreaves, BBC | :18:16. | :18:16. | |
News. Claims that British intelligence | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
spied on Donald Trump The White House says it | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
won't repeat the allegation. Coming up, I am at Cheltenham where | :18:23. | :18:38. | |
it is one of the highlights of the racing calendar, the Gold Cup. | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
Coming up in the sport later in the hour on BBC News, | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
the last British side in the Champions League, | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
Leicester City, has been drawn to face Atletico Madrid in the | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
Human rights groups have described two refugee camps being built | :18:49. | :19:00. | |
in Hungary as a flagrant violation of international law. | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
The camps are made out of converted shipping containers, | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
and anyone entering Hungary will be kept there - without a time | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
limit, and with severe restrictions on their movement. | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Hungary's Prime Minister say the country is under siege. | :19:15. | :19:17. | |
Hundreds of thousands of refugees have entered in the last two years, | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
but only a few hundred have been giving permission to stay. | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Our correspondent James Reynolds sent us this report. | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
When Hungary says it is taking tough action to stop migration, | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
It is holding these migrants at a detention centre | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
We are allowed to speak to them from the street. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
We are not terrorists, we are not criminals. | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
But Hungary sees no reason to back down. | :19:47. | :20:02. | |
This month, the Prime Minister, Viktor Orban, took charge of a new | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
A new law now gives the government even more power | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
Hungary plans to hold them all in these containers | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
it is setting up next to the border with Serbia. | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
"These are civilised places to live in," the contractor says. | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
"European workers certainly find them acceptable." | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Hungary says that the migrants to be held in these containers would be | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
free to leave at any time, so long as they head in just | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
They will be free to walk just a few metres down | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
here and they would cross back into Serbia, away from the EU, | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
These young migrants are stuck on the Serbian side. | :20:54. | :21:03. | |
The rest of the European Union may publicly criticise | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
the actions of Hungary but, quietly, Europe may put | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
up with anything that keeps migrants back. | :21:09. | :21:14. | |

A court in Nottingham has been told that a breast surgeon allegedly | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
carried out unnecessary surgery on nine women and a man. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
Ian Paterson is charged with 20 counts of wounding with intent. | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
This morning the jury heard from a woman who said she'd been | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
told she was at high risk of cancer, when actually she was at no more | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Our health correspondent, Dominic Hughes, is outside | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
What was the court told today? This morning the court heard from | :21:41. | :21:58. | |
France's perks, who was referred to breast cancer surgeon Ian Paterson | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
in the 1990s, she had a history of breast cancer in her family, her | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
mother and sister both died from the disease. Over a decade she underwent | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
a number of procedures under the care of Ian Paterson, but after a | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
lump was found in her breast between 2007 in 2008 she underwent two | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
further procedures and a mastectomy. She told the court it was not | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
something she wanted, she was very scared and frightened but the way it | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
was discussed, she said, she did not want to end up with full-blown | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
breast cancer. Under cross-examination she told the court | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
she had considered a double mastectomy but changed her mind, but | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
it turns out she was only at moderate risk of breast cancer | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
despite her family history. I was conned that I was high risk by Mr | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
Paterson and my family was conned, she told the court. Another patient, | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
John Ingram, underwent a double mistake to after being told he was | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
on the road to cancer by Ian Paterson. It left him with intense | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
pain that he likened to having a cigarette placed over his skin. It | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
is the prosecution case that Ian Paterson misrepresented pathology | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
lab reports to his patients and exaggerated the risk of cancer to | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
his patients, carrying out operations that were simply not | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
necessary. Ian Paterson denies 20 courts of wood touch 20 counts of | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
wounding with intent and the case continues. Thank you. | :23:29. | :23:29. | |
Now, I wonder whether you've been able to lip read what I've been | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
But, researchers in Oxford have developed a machine for people | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
who are hard of hearing that can lip-read more accurately | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
And they've developed the technology by watching news | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
presenters here at the BBC - as our technology correspondent Rory | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
At the Action for Hearing Loss charity, Edward is trying | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
to have a conversation with a colleague. | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
With lots of noise coming into the office from the street, | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
his lip-reading skills come in useful. | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
It can be very hard as well because sometimes some words can | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
sound the same or could be lip-read the same, and so it's | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
all about getting into context and seeing what people actually talk | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
But in Oxford, research is under way to teach computers | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
It's involved training an artificial intelligence system using thousands | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
So the box around the lips is the region that the AI system is seeing. | :24:27. | :24:37. | |
Joon Son Chung, whose project this is, shares Edward's view | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
So lip-reading is a very difficult problem because there are visual | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
For example pat, bat and mat are visually identical. | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
By endlessly watching clips of Breakfast, Newsnight and other | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
BBC News programmes, the computer teaches | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
What the system does is learn things that occur together. | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
So in this case they're the mouth shapes and the characters, | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
and what the likely upcoming characters are given | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
Let's try it with some words it already understands. | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
The Prime Minister is at a European Union summit. | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
Now, the system has heard those words in that context before | :25:20. | :25:21. | |
But to get better, it will have to chew through a lot more data. | :25:22. | :25:27. | |
There's a long way to go but the hearing loss charity | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
This would help people with when they're watching | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
subtitles on television, this will help people when they're | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
out and about in very noisy environments and it's by no means | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
technology that will replace a professional lip-reader. | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
It's something that would very much support professional lip-readers | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
to improve the accuracy of the work that they do. | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
Right now the technology only works on full sentences in recorded clips. | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
The next stage is to make it work live. | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
But first the computer is going to be watching | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
So, Leicester will take on the might of Atletico Madrid in the quarter | :25:59. | :26:08. | |
Let's speak to our sports correspondent, Joe Wilson. | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
Is this who they would want to face? A fuel-air stuff fans would have | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
loved to have Barcelona and real Madrid for the glamour, but Atletico | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
are at the recent runners up twice in the Champions League so they are | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
pretty glamorous -- a few Leicester fans would have loved to have. All | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
you wanted to talk about with Leicester, the Uefa official, your | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
beautiful story. Remember last year the way that Leicester shook up the | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
orthodoxy in the Premier League, I think they have done a similar thing | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
with European football and Uefa realise it is important, it is | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
always the same teams in the latter stages but gets boring as the | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
sceptical -- as a spec -- as a spectacle. Can they win? Even if | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
they lose the first leg they can get it back at home. Leicester do not | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
play like we are Madrid or Barcelona, they had to bring energy | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
and intensity that teams like Atletico will not experiences. | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
Crucially in the last few weeks, the Leicester players have remained, | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
that is what they need to do with they will win. Thank you, Joel | :27:21. | :27:21. | |
Wilson. The England rugby team is due | :27:22. | :27:22. | |
to arrive in Dublin this afternoon for its crucial | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
match against Ireland. Even though England has already | :27:26. | :27:26. | |
won the Six Nations, a win against Ireland would mean | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
historic back-to-back grand slams, and 19 consecutive | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
international victories - About 60,000 people are expected | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
to be there to watch jump racing's showpiece event - | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
14 horses racing three and a quarter And as befits St Patrick's Day, | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
the Irish will be strong contenders. Our sports correspondent, Andy | :27:47. | :27:54. | |
Swiss, is at Cheltenham racecourse. It is a chilli day in Cheltenham. | :27:55. | :28:09. | |
The atmosphere is warming up nicely. Just a couple of hours to go until | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
the big race. Last week it was won by Don Cossack, who has since | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
retired. One thing is certain, we will have a new name on the Gold | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
Cup. History is carved into Cheltenham. | :28:22. | :28:31. | |
For the fans, this is the day when riders and horses can become | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
legends. Who will be next to join the Golden greats? Among the early | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
arrivals today, the sentimental favourite, Cue Card, at the grand | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
old age of 11, trying to become the oldest winner since 1969. Trained in | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
Dorset by former dairy farmer Colin Tizzard, the horse fell last year | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
but has picked itself the band is ready for redemption. He's a happy | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
horse, he is not ready for anything else yet, here's a racehorse and he | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
loves it, I really believe he has as good a chance as he will ever have. | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
This is a race full of possibilities. Lizzie Kelly becomes | :29:11. | :29:13. | |
the first woman to ride in the World Cup for 33 years, she rides on | :29:14. | :29:20. | |
outsider Tea For Two. In a still male dominated profession she knows | :29:21. | :29:23. | |
the significance. I think more than any other girl | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
reference I have really... I really get this one. Writing in the Gold | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
Cup is massive because it is such an elite race. It is reserved for the | :29:33. | :29:38. | |
best horses, best trainers and best jockeys. On Saint Patrick's Day, | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
there could be another excuse for Irish celebrations. Many will be | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
cheering on Ruby Walsh, yesterday the jockey won four races with | :29:49. | :29:55. | |
trainer Willie Mullins. Once again, Walsh and Molins! Walsh writes | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
Djakadam, twice runner-up, it might be third time lucky. | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
Djakadam currently marginal favourite with the bookies, followed | :30:05. | :30:10. | |
by Cue Card in a festival dominated by Irish horses. Could we have | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
another Irish winner? We will find out at 3:30pm. Thank you, Andy | :30:14. | :30:14. | |
Smith at Cheltenham. Dramatic pictures have emerged | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
of the moment a woman managed You can just see her - | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
covered in mud, in the middle of the picture - dragging | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
herself to safety. Heavy rains triggered | :30:28. | :30:29. | |
the slides, which have killed Let's cut -- let's catch up with the | :30:30. | :30:47. | |
weather prospects here. Torrential rain over there, Darren? | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
It only happens once every ten or 15 years. We have nothing like as bad | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
as that but it is certainly changing. Earlier in the week we had | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
much quieter, warmer weather but we are looking to the Atlantic and the | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
cloud is billowing our way, signalling a change, looking more | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
threatening and bringing rain to western parts of the UK. As we have | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
seen in Glasgow already. Further south in Hampshire, Basingstoke, the | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
cloud has been thinner so we have had brighter skies and sunshine but | :31:16. | :31:19. | |
it will become more milky through the afternoon. Further north in | :31:20. | :31:22. | |
Glasgow, a colourful picture from our Weather Watcher but a wet scene. | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
We will continue to get rain. That is the bigger picture across the UK. | :31:28. | :31:31. | |
Into Scotland, not just rain but snow over the mountains in the north | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
where we are putting into much colder air. It will feel quite | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
chilly under the rain in the West of Scotland. Great for Northern | :31:42. | :31:43. | |
Ireland, especially in the north. Wet in the north-west of England, | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
largely dry on the other side of the Pennines, but gusty winds | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
developing. West Wales is turning wetter and wetter, especially in the | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
hills. Much of southern and eastern England and the Midlands is likely | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
to be dry but increasing clouds, temperatures 12 or 13 at best. | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
We may get rain towards the south-east this evening but it is | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
mainly over the western hills. The little turn dry in Scotland later in | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
the night. Here in the north of Scotland, cold for each -- cold | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
enough for a touch of frost but otherwise mild. | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
For the weekend, westerly winds continue, strengthening in | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
particular on Sunday. Some rain at times across the west of the UK, dry | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
and brighter in the east. On Saturday we might have early | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
sunshine in the east of England and eastern Scotland, the westerly winds | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
are not as strong, blowing rain into the south-west for time. Turning | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
wetter in Northern Ireland, rain moving across the Irish Sea to | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
western England and Scotland. Still quite mild towards the south-east, | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
14 or 15 degrees. For the rugby, a big day on Saturday and pretty much | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
in the same boat, cloudy skies, breezy, dry, strongest winds later | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
in the day down the way in Dublin. The winds continue to strengthen | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
overnight and it will be windy on Sunday, rain in Scotland and | :33:06. | :33:07. | |
Northern Ireland sinking into northern part of England and Wales. | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
The south-east and East Anglia are still dry and quite mild as well. | :33:12. | :33:19. | |
The milder air does not last into next week, it is pushed away and we | :33:20. | :33:22. | |
get cooler, showery weather moving from the north-west. | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
A reminder of our main story this lunchtime... | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
Claims that British intelligence by Don Donald Trump have been described | :33:30. | :33:35. | |
by GCHQ is nonsense. The White House says it will not repeat the | :33:36. | :33:36. | |
says it will not repeat the allegation. | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
That's all from the BBC News at One - so it's goodbye from me, | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
and on BBC one we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :33:42. | :33:43. |
