0:00:21 > 0:00:24I think the right thing to do is to resign, and to look

0:00:24 > 0:00:26at his behaviour in the past and try and make a change in the future.

0:01:20 > 0:01:27day's sports news, highlights of the FA Cup and from the Winter Olympics.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Good evening and welcome to BBC News.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48The family of the murdered Labour MP Jo Cox, have pledged

0:01:48 > 0:01:51to support her husband, after he resigned from charity roles

0:01:51 > 0:01:55following allegations of sexual misconduct.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58Brendan Cox denies assaulting a woman in the United States in 2015,

0:01:58 > 0:02:00but admits to "inappropriate" behaviour while working

0:02:00 > 0:02:01for Save the Children.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03The charity has confirmed that he was suspended

0:02:03 > 0:02:05from his role there, and says he resigned

0:02:05 > 0:02:07before a disciplinary process was completed.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Robert Hall reports.

0:02:10 > 0:02:14Jo Cox, Labour MP and mother of two, was murdered in her constituency

0:02:14 > 0:02:19during the run-up to the 2016 EU referendum, shot and stabbed

0:02:19 > 0:02:22by a far right extremist.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26In the months after her death, the public rallied in support

0:02:26 > 0:02:30of her family and in particular, her husband, Brendan,

0:02:30 > 0:02:32who set up two charities, the Jo Cox Foundation

0:02:32 > 0:02:34and More in Common.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37Today he announced his resignation from both of them,

0:02:37 > 0:02:38following allegations of inappropriate behaviour a year

0:02:38 > 0:02:41before his wife's murder.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44The claims are reported in a Sunday paper.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46They're linked to alleged incidents at Harvard University

0:02:46 > 0:02:51in Massachusetts, and whilst Mr Cox was working for Save the Children.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54In this case, he's said to have pinned a staff member to a wall

0:02:54 > 0:02:56while making sexual comments.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Mr Cox says the claims are a massive exaggeration.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01His statement continues...

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Labour backbencher Jess Phillips, a friend of Jo Cox, said her widower

0:03:32 > 0:03:34was right to stand back from the charities.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37I'm not defending his actions, I am trying to think

0:03:37 > 0:03:40about this person who I know, and my friend, who isn't here,

0:03:40 > 0:03:42and make sure that there is a change in the future.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44I don't defend any of this behaviour.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Jo Cox's sister, Kim Leadbeater, stood with Brendan Cox at the end

0:03:47 > 0:03:48of the murder trial.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Today she said it had been another very difficult day for the family

0:03:51 > 0:03:53but they would support Brendan Cox and they respected him

0:03:53 > 0:03:55for admitting past mistakes.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59No one from Save the Children was available to speak to us today,

0:03:59 > 0:04:01but in a statement the charity said staff safety and welfare

0:04:01 > 0:04:03were priorities and that all complaints were dealt

0:04:03 > 0:04:08with in accordance with its internal procedures.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11That was what had happened in 2015, when Mr Cox was suspended

0:04:11 > 0:04:14and the disciplinary process began.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17He had resigned before that process was complete.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Another senior Labour figure linked Brendan Cox's decision to wider

0:04:20 > 0:04:22changes in attitude.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Hopefully we are seeing a change now in the climate and the culture,

0:04:25 > 0:04:28where people are recognising that those in positions of power

0:04:28 > 0:04:31should not abuse positions of power, those who end up becoming victims

0:04:31 > 0:04:37of harassment should have support to speak out.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Tonight, Jo Cox's family say they are supporting each

0:04:40 > 0:04:44other and are unwavering in their determination that nothing

0:04:44 > 0:04:45will cloud her legacy.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Robert Hall, BBC News.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55The Education Secretary Damian Hinds has said there should be more

0:04:55 > 0:04:57variation in the cost of university courses, with each degree

0:04:57 > 0:05:00reflecting their value to "society as a whole".

0:05:00 > 0:05:03He was speaking as the Prime Minister prepares to outline a wide

0:05:03 > 0:05:07ranging review into higher education funding in England.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Labour, who have pledged to scrap tuition fees, say another

0:05:09 > 0:05:11review isn't the solution.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14Here's our education editor Branwen Jeffreys.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18This is one of two jobs Myra Kesh is holding down.

0:05:18 > 0:05:24She's in her first year of university.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26The loan for living costs isn't enough.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Throughout the process of applying to uni I was thinking this

0:05:28 > 0:05:31is so unfair, I'm getting a lower maintenance allowance and I'm

0:05:31 > 0:05:34going to have to work several jobs in order to live.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Sheffield Hallam has lots of students from ordinary families.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40For Alice, that means she worries less about tuition fees and more

0:05:40 > 0:05:45about just getting by.

0:05:45 > 0:05:53Last year, I budgeted for about £50 a week and that was still too much

0:05:53 > 0:05:56to live on, so I had to bring that down to about £30 and that

0:05:56 > 0:05:57is still not enough.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00Every so often I might have to ask my parents for help.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03If they can just give me £20 for food, for basic food.

0:06:03 > 0:06:10Up to 6.1% interest is charged on student debt.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14An average £5,800 of interest charges before leaving university.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17In total, it's about £57,000 of borrowing for the poorest students.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22After 30 years, any unpaid loan is written off.

0:06:22 > 0:06:28But by 2021, there could be £160 billion of outstanding student debt.

0:06:31 > 0:06:38It's the poorest students in England who end up borrowing the most.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42Because they can't rely on the Bank of Mum and Dad for living costs.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44So altering the system isn't simple.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47If you just lower tuition fees, you help the richest,

0:06:47 > 0:06:51unless you also put more money into maintenance support.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53In his first interview, the new Education Secretary

0:06:53 > 0:06:57gave little away.

0:06:57 > 0:06:58Only one thing is certain.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02They expect graduates to help pay for universities.

0:07:02 > 0:07:06We think it is right that if you benefit from a university

0:07:06 > 0:07:09degree, you should make a contribution and that is what this

0:07:09 > 0:07:10current system does.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12What we're doing in the review is looking at how that

0:07:12 > 0:07:19system works, making sure there are alternatives, more variety.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22The Government wants more short degrees, more part-time study.

0:07:22 > 0:07:26There's been little appetite for either so far.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Universities say making studying affordable is the key.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33You need to reintroduce maintenance grants at a level which genuinely

0:07:33 > 0:07:36offers students a basic level of subsistence.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Universities want a secure future.

0:07:38 > 0:07:43Students, a fairer deal.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45But with economic uncertainty ahead, the Government's review has

0:07:45 > 0:07:46little wriggle room.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Branwen Jeffreys, BBC News, Sheffield.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Our Political Correspondent Alex Forsyth has been

0:07:51 > 0:07:53explaining why the Government is launching its review

0:07:53 > 0:07:55into higher education.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58I think the Government has been feeling pressure on this

0:07:58 > 0:07:59front for some time.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02That is in part because of that Labour pledge made during last

0:08:02 > 0:08:04year's election to scrap tuition fees entirely for all

0:08:04 > 0:08:06students in England.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07That was largely credited for Labour's popularity

0:08:07 > 0:08:10with younger voters.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12The Conservatives, I think, are conscious that on this front

0:08:12 > 0:08:14they need to gain some ground, hence this review

0:08:14 > 0:08:17of higher education.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21The real question is, what can they do on this

0:08:21 > 0:08:23issue of fees, because, as you heard there, they remain

0:08:23 > 0:08:26committed to the principle that it's those who go to university,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28who benefit for a degree, who should pay for it,

0:08:28 > 0:08:29rather than everybody.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31So they're not going to match Labour's offer

0:08:31 > 0:08:35and scrap fees altogether.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38The risk is that whatever they do in place, whether that is trying

0:08:38 > 0:08:40to encourage different fees for different courses or shorter

0:08:40 > 0:08:45courses, that could be seen as just tinkering around the edges.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47In fact today Justin Greening, who was the former

0:08:47 > 0:08:49Education Secretary, who's only very recently

0:08:49 > 0:08:52left the Government, she said the issue of student

0:08:52 > 0:08:55finance should not be kicked around like a political football.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58And we'll find out how this story - and many others - are covered

0:08:58 > 0:09:01in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening

0:09:01 > 0:09:04evening in The Papers.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Our guests joining me tonight are he former

0:09:06 > 0:09:07Conservative Adviser, Giles Kenningham and Torcuil

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Crichton, Political Editor at The Daily Record.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12More than 60 people are feared dead after a passenger

0:09:12 > 0:09:14plane crashed in Iran.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17The flight, which took off from the capital, Tehran,

0:09:17 > 0:09:19came down in the Zagros mountains, in the south-west of the country,

0:09:19 > 0:09:21on its way to the city of Yasuj.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24It was operated by Aseman Airlines.

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Families have been gathering at a mosque close to an airport

0:09:27 > 0:09:29in Tehran to get information about their loved ones.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Bad weather, including fog and heavy snow, has hampered rescue efforts

0:09:31 > 0:09:34and the search has been called off for the night.

0:09:35 > 0:09:41Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has launched

0:09:41 > 0:09:43a scathing attack on Iran, calling it the "greatest

0:09:43 > 0:09:44threat to our world".

0:09:44 > 0:09:47He was speaking at the international security conference in Munich.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51Mr Netanyahu also held up what he said was a piece

0:09:51 > 0:09:54of an Iranian drone shot down over Israel.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58He warned Iran not to "test Israel's resolve".

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Here's a piece of that Iranian drone, or what's left of it after we

0:10:02 > 0:10:05shot it down.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10I brought it here so you could see it for yourself.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Mr Zarif, do you recognise this?

0:10:14 > 0:10:18You should - it's yours.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22You can take back with you a message to the

0:10:22 > 0:10:26tyrants of Tehran - do not test Israel's resolve.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Mr Netanyahu's

0:10:33 > 0:10:37speech was an attempt to undermine the international nuclear deal.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42I can assure you that if Iran's interests are not

0:10:42 > 0:10:46secured, Iran will respond.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49We'll respond seriously and I believe it would be a response

0:10:49 > 0:10:55that people will be sorry for taking the erroneous actions they did.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58We will not be the first ones to violate an agreement

0:10:58 > 0:11:02for which all of us tried, in spite of Netanyahu's

0:11:02 > 0:11:07attempts, to achieve.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11We achieved it in spite of him, we implemented it in spite of him,

0:11:11 > 0:11:14and the world will maintain that agreement, in spite of his

0:11:14 > 0:11:18delusional attempts.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Kasra Naji from BBC Persian is in Munich and he explained more

0:11:21 > 0:11:25about the tensions between Israel and Iran.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27It's very real, actually.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30And what we've seen in the last three days in this conference,

0:11:30 > 0:11:32in this hotel behind me...

0:11:32 > 0:11:35In fact, a lot of people who did speak, some of the leaders

0:11:35 > 0:11:40of the countries, top officials, strategists who spoke,

0:11:40 > 0:11:45they spoke about the real danger of a conflict breaking out in that

0:11:45 > 0:11:50region, particularly because of the worrying

0:11:50 > 0:11:52developments in Syria.

0:11:52 > 0:11:58There are people here who believe Syria today poses the greatest

0:11:58 > 0:12:03threat to world peace, in effect, and what has happened

0:12:03 > 0:12:10eight days ago between Iran and Israel lends itself to that.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17A group of American teenagers who survived a school shooting

0:12:17 > 0:12:19in Florida earlier this week have announced a national march

0:12:19 > 0:12:22on Washington to demand political action on gun control.

0:12:22 > 0:12:26They say they're determined that the mass shooting,

0:12:26 > 0:12:28in which fourteen pupils and three staff members were killed,

0:12:28 > 0:12:34will be a turning point in the national debate on guns.

0:12:34 > 0:12:39We can speak to our Washington Correspondent, David Willis.

0:12:39 > 0:12:46When is this March due to take place?It is interesting. Next month

0:12:46 > 0:12:51is the simple answer to your question. It seemed for a while

0:12:51 > 0:12:54after the Florida shooting last week that the response might be pretty

0:12:54 > 0:13:02typical. Outrage, calls for some sort of action, followed by complete

0:13:02 > 0:13:05inertia that there are signs that this might be different this time

0:13:05 > 0:13:11around. For example, the Columbine massacre, going back nearly two

0:13:11 > 0:13:17decades, there was a lot of sadness, a lot of outrage but no activism

0:13:17 > 0:13:24that stemmed from it. Now we CPAP signs that there might be some sort

0:13:24 > 0:13:28of activism, that young people are keen to take up this issue. In many

0:13:28 > 0:13:32cases, these are people who weren't even born when the Columbine

0:13:32 > 0:13:36massacre took place, yet they've grown up quite used to so-called

0:13:36 > 0:13:42active shooter drills in their schools. Now it seems they are

0:13:42 > 0:13:46starting to mobilise, to speak out against the National Rifle

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Association and to speak out against politicians who take contributions

0:13:50 > 0:13:57from them. So we have this national, this rally in the capital here next

0:13:57 > 0:14:03month. We've also got a school walk out which is planned for the 20th of

0:14:03 > 0:14:07April, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine massacre and there is also

0:14:07 > 0:14:12a big rally planned this week in the Florida capital, Tallahassee. So

0:14:12 > 0:14:16some are saying this could be a turning point, but of course there

0:14:16 > 0:14:22is a long way to go.Briefly, President Obama tried to tackle the

0:14:22 > 0:14:27issue of gun control and didn't succeed. Any sign that the political

0:14:27 > 0:14:35landscape is any different now?Not really, I have do so. Donald Trump

0:14:35 > 0:14:38accepted about $30 million from the National Rifle Association when he

0:14:38 > 0:14:41ran for president and he has said he has no plans to tinker with the

0:14:41 > 0:14:51right to bear arms. But I have to say today the Ohio Governor, John

0:14:51 > 0:14:55sick, called for the president to take the call lead on this issue

0:14:55 > 0:15:01with small incremental reforms of the gun-control laws here and there

0:15:01 > 0:15:05is interesting to note that this week the president is due to sit

0:15:05 > 0:15:10down in the White House for what is called a listening session with some

0:15:10 > 0:15:14high school students. We will be watching to see what comes out of

0:15:14 > 0:15:19that, of course.David Willey since Washington, thank you very much.

0:15:19 > 0:15:21Police in Leeds have been called to one of Yorkshire's busiest

0:15:21 > 0:15:24shopping streets after an attempted ram raid took place.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30As you can see, men in two cars drove onto a pedestrianised street

0:15:30 > 0:15:33in the centre of Leeds and attempted to rob a high end watch shop.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36The men in balaclavas didn't succeed in gaining entry and escaped before

0:15:36 > 0:15:42the police arrived.

0:15:42 > 0:15:49The Home Office has said it can't issue a medical cannabis licence

0:15:49 > 0:15:51for a six-year-old epileptic chid, despite calls from a group

0:15:52 > 0:15:53of MPs and his family.

0:15:53 > 0:15:54Alfie Dingley, who's from Warwickshire, regularly

0:15:54 > 0:15:55suffers violent seizures.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57A cannabis based treatment he received in the Netherlands

0:15:57 > 0:15:59improved his condition, but it's illegal in the UK.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02Charlotte Gallagher has the story.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05Six-year-old Alfie Dingley has a rare form of epilepsy and suffers

0:16:05 > 0:16:11up to 30 violent seizures every day.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14To go through that once would be traumatising,

0:16:14 > 0:16:17but we're going through it sometimes every 7-10 days, and it's just

0:16:17 > 0:16:21absolutely horrendous.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Last September, the family moved to the Netherlands so Alfie could be

0:16:24 > 0:16:26prescribed medical cannabis oil.

0:16:26 > 0:16:33His parents say he went 24 days without having a seizure.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35They've now moved back to the UK, but cannabis oil is illegal

0:16:35 > 0:16:38in Britain, so they want the Home Secretary Amber Rudd

0:16:38 > 0:16:42to give Alfie a license to use it.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47It is thought this drug works with nerve receptors in the brain to help

0:16:47 > 0:16:49control the seizures.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51But the Home Office has ruled it out.

0:16:51 > 0:16:52They say...

0:17:06 > 0:17:09A group of MPs want the Home Secretary to make

0:17:09 > 0:17:13an exception for Alfie.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17If we can find a way for her around the regulations that exist,

0:17:17 > 0:17:20and we believe that we can, she can issue a license to make sure

0:17:20 > 0:17:22that Alfie can get this medicine.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26Alfie's family have vowed to continue their battle,

0:17:26 > 0:17:30saying you've got to fight, "for your kids and we want to know

0:17:30 > 0:17:35that we've done everything we can".

0:17:35 > 0:17:41Charlotte Gallagher, BBC News.

0:17:41 > 0:17:48The family of murdered MP Jo Cox have pledged to support her widow

0:17:48 > 0:17:59after he admitted behaving inappropriately to women in 2015.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02The Education Secretary says university tuition fees should

0:18:05 > 0:18:11ahead of a review of higher education funding in England.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Sport now, and time for a full round up, from the BBC Sport Centre.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19Good evening.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21There was a shock in today's only FA cup tie.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24League One's bottom team Rochdale came from behind to earn

0:18:24 > 0:18:27a replay with Tottenham.

0:18:27 > 0:18:31Harry Kane had given the Premier League side a 2-1 lead

0:18:31 > 0:18:34from the penalty spot in the last two minutes but Rochdale conjured

0:18:34 > 0:18:36a dramatic equaliser deep into injury time at Spotland.

0:18:36 > 0:18:39Steve Davis was their hero and they will face each other again

0:18:39 > 0:18:41at Wembley for a place in the quarter-finals.

0:18:41 > 0:18:47It was an amazing game, an amazing event for us. It was a real

0:18:47 > 0:18:54pleasure. We took the opponents on. We know how good they are, but we

0:18:54 > 0:18:59tried to take them on. Sacrificial behaviour at times from the players,

0:18:59 > 0:19:02but every one of the players I thought were magnificent. We knew

0:19:02 > 0:19:07having gone 1-0 up in the first half, we almost slipped the bomb, if

0:19:07 > 0:19:11you like. We knew what was going to come in the second half was that I

0:19:11 > 0:19:14thought the players, they responded superbly, their heads could have

0:19:14 > 0:19:18gone down but they didn't after the penalty. I feel as though we got a

0:19:18 > 0:19:20deserved equaliser.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24Rangers are up to second in the Scottish Premiership on goal

0:19:24 > 0:19:25difference after an eight goal thriller at Hamilton.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Accies actually took the lead after only five minutes

0:19:27 > 0:19:30at New Douglas Park, but Rangers equalised and then went ahead

0:19:30 > 0:19:33after a Josh Windass shot was spilled by Hamilton keeper

0:19:33 > 0:19:36Gary Woods.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38The home side made it 2-2, but Rangers scored two

0:19:38 > 0:19:42quick-fire goals and then Windass scored his third to make it 5-2.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45Hamilton pulled one back in the closing minutes, but the 5-3

0:19:45 > 0:19:48win means Rangers move above Aberdeen.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Celtic drew 0-0 at home to St Johnstone in the day's

0:19:51 > 0:19:53other fixture, but have still increased their lead

0:19:53 > 0:19:54at the top to nine points.

0:19:54 > 0:20:00British slope-style skier James Woods desribed his fourth

0:20:00 > 0:20:02place finish as "minging" as he narrowly missed

0:20:02 > 0:20:05out on a bronze medal.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Britain needed just one more to make it a record five

0:20:08 > 0:20:11at a Winter Olympics but failed to add to their tally today.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13At least Lizzie Yarnold and Laura Deas received their medals

0:20:13 > 0:20:15after yesterday's sliding success, but Great Britains women have lost

0:20:15 > 0:20:18again in the curling.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20From Pyeongchang, here's our sports correspondent, Andy Swiss.

0:20:21 > 0:20:26From a dry ski slope in Sheffield to an Olympic final.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30James Woods has long made the extraordinary seem effortless,

0:20:30 > 0:20:33and once again how he rose to the occasion, as he tricked,

0:20:33 > 0:20:35flipped and leapt his way right into contention.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36COMMENTATOR:What's he got for us?

0:20:38 > 0:20:41CHEERING.

0:20:41 > 0:20:44You can hear what the crowd think of that.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45What a run by James Woods!

0:20:45 > 0:20:48He came here with such high hopes for a medal,

0:20:48 > 0:20:51will that be enough?

0:20:51 > 0:20:52Well, it seemed it might be.

0:20:52 > 0:20:53Second place for Woodsy...

0:20:53 > 0:20:57And with just a few left to go he was still in bronze,

0:20:57 > 0:20:59before America's Nick Goepper snatched away his medal.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02So close.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's a game of perfection, and it's not just that,

0:21:05 > 0:21:07you've got to go above and beyond technical difficulty.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09That was insane.

0:21:09 > 0:21:18Controversy meanwhile at the curling.

0:21:18 > 0:21:19The woman's captain Eve Muirhead penalised for not

0:21:19 > 0:21:21releasing her stone in time.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23Muirhead felt she had let go before the line,

0:21:23 > 0:21:24but curling does not use video technology.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27The incident handed victory to opponents Sweden.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Meanwhile, it's emerged speed skater Elise Christie suffered soft tissue

0:21:29 > 0:21:31damage in her crash yesterday.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Her boyfriend posted this...

0:21:33 > 0:21:36With her next event on Tuesday, it's a race against time.

0:21:37 > 0:21:40But for others, there was celebration.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Lizzy Yarnold receiving her skeleton gold medal.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47Her historic success, she told me, was still sinking in.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50It was a big goal four years ago to try and be the first

0:21:50 > 0:21:52British Winter Olympian to retain my title.

0:21:52 > 0:21:54It was scary to say it, but now it's rolling off

0:21:54 > 0:21:55the tongue a bit more.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59I'm just so proud that it all came together.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01And with team-mate Laura Deas collecting her bronze,

0:22:01 > 0:22:06a picture-perfect podium for British sport.

0:22:06 > 0:22:12Andy Swiss, BBC News, Pyeongchang.

0:22:12 > 0:22:13That's all the sport for now.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16More sport on the BBC News Channel throughout the evening.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Thank you very much.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22A committee of MPs has warned that a hard Brexit could mean higher food

0:22:22 > 0:22:26prices for consumers.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28A report by the Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee

0:22:28 > 0:22:31also said failure to get a free-trade deal with the EU

0:22:31 > 0:22:32could be devastating for farmers.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Our business correspondent Joe Lynam reports.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41The peace and bucolic splendour of UK farmlands could be

0:22:41 > 0:22:43dramatically upset if Britain fails to get a comments

0:22:43 > 0:22:47of free post Brexit.

0:22:47 > 0:22:54A key group of MPs says consumers might also end up paying more

0:22:54 > 0:23:05for food if the UK reverts to World Trade Organisation rules.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11The Environment Food and Rural Affairs committee of MPs says

0:23:11 > 0:23:13a so-called hard Brexit would have a devastating effect

0:23:13 > 0:23:14on rural communities.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16That's because 60% of UK food exports go to the EU,

0:23:16 > 0:23:20and they could face much higher tariffs.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23The committee also said that Britain should not dilute its own high food

0:23:23 > 0:23:25standards in order to sign new global trade deals,

0:23:25 > 0:23:27such as one with the US.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30If we go into a sort of WTO situation where there

0:23:30 > 0:23:31are tariffs on imported food, that will actually

0:23:31 > 0:23:32drive food prices up.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Now, for some commodities, that will actually suit farming,

0:23:35 > 0:23:37but perhaps not the consumer, if they have to pay

0:23:37 > 0:23:41more for their food.

0:23:41 > 0:23:46The Government has sought to soothe those concerns.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49It said that leaving the EU gave the UK a golden opportunity

0:23:49 > 0:23:51to secure ambitious free-trade deals while supporting our

0:23:51 > 0:23:52farmers and producers.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55It said it would not compromise on the UK's high environmental

0:23:55 > 0:23:56or welfare standards.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57Joe Lynam, BBC News.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59The stars have been out for this year's BAFTAS.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01And there was celebrations all round for Three Billboards

0:24:01 > 0:24:06Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

0:24:06 > 0:24:15The dark-comedy drama scooped the Best Film prize

0:24:15 > 0:24:23as well as a host of other awards.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25And the film's star, Frances McDormond, won best Actress

0:24:25 > 0:24:28for her performance of a mother seeking justice for her

0:24:28 > 0:24:32daughter's murder.

0:24:32 > 0:24:34It was Gary Oldman's portrayal of Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour

0:24:34 > 0:24:36which landed him the BAFTA for Best Actor.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39He said the awards was a "tremendous honour", and used his acceptance

0:24:39 > 0:24:42speech to pay tribute to his ex-wife Lesley Manville, who was nominated

0:24:42 > 0:24:43for best supporting actress.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45London-born Daniel Kaluuya scooped the Rising Star Award

0:24:45 > 0:24:47for his leading role in the thriller Get Out.

0:24:47 > 0:24:48Accepting the award, the 28-year-old paid

0:24:48 > 0:24:50tribute to his family

0:24:51 > 0:24:53And I'd like to thank my mum.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54My mum is the reason...

0:24:54 > 0:24:55Levels...

0:24:55 > 0:25:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:25:11 > 0:25:12Mum, mum, you're the reason why I started,

0:25:12 > 0:25:15the reason why I'm here and you're the reason why

0:25:15 > 0:25:16I keep going.

0:25:16 > 0:25:17Do you understand?

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Thank you for everything, and I'd like to

0:25:19 > 0:25:20thank this award...

0:25:20 > 0:25:21This is yours.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Love, peace, let's get it.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28We have been racking our brains and we can't remember a time where this

0:25:28 > 0:25:33same film wins those two categories, a big winner.Very unusual. They

0:25:33 > 0:25:37invented that format so the British film didn't miss out and they had

0:25:37 > 0:25:48their own category. Sky fall has won best British... The main film goes

0:25:48 > 0:25:53to a more Hollywood film, if you like. Unusually today, a film that

0:25:53 > 0:25:55is about small-time America, produced here by British producers

0:25:55 > 0:26:04and by an Irish director has taken best film. I think it is extremely

0:26:04 > 0:26:08unusual. I'm slightly surprised because I thought it was a film that

0:26:08 > 0:26:13divided people but it united the BAFTAs. It is a film that is very

0:26:13 > 0:26:16divisive and away, deliberately so, controversial, but not controversial

0:26:16 > 0:26:19enough to put off the BAFTA voters. One of the edgiest films they have

0:26:19 > 0:26:24ever voted as their best picture.We said we were surprised if Francis

0:26:24 > 0:26:31McDonald hadn't come away with that prize, the same with Gary Oldman.He

0:26:31 > 0:26:35did, for Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour. He ended up thanking

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Sir Winston Churchill in his acceptance speech but the standard

0:26:38 > 0:26:46he took -- stand he took, this stand against the march of Hitler and the

0:26:46 > 0:26:50speeches he gave in that movie have been so well received by everyone. I

0:26:50 > 0:26:54hear he has been getting a standing ovation is up and down the land for

0:26:54 > 0:27:00those speeches. I suppose it really struck a chord this year. There's a

0:27:00 > 0:27:04freedom there, a unity that those speeches are brought together. Let's

0:27:04 > 0:27:07face it, it's a fantastic performance from Gary Oldman. I

0:27:07 > 0:27:12always think doing Churchill is a bit of a turn. Brian Cox had a go,

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Hardy, everyone has their favourite Churchill and the casting of Gary

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Oldman when it was announced a few years ago, people were

0:27:18 > 0:27:23flabbergasted. How could this guy who has been Dracula, the guy in

0:27:23 > 0:27:28Lyon and was a punk in Sid vicious, how could he played Winston

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Churchill? He prays him with the same spirit he put towards all

0:27:32 > 0:27:37those, a maverick defiant spirit. I think of all the actors in the last

0:27:37 > 0:27:4030 years from that generation that came up from the 80s, he is flying

0:27:40 > 0:27:43the flag for working-class actors in Britain and always has done. I think

0:27:43 > 0:27:55he is a very inspirational winner. His first BAFTA.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57The weather now.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00The weather now.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04The sunshine was more limited today. A lot of cloud spinning in from the

0:28:04 > 0:28:08west, bringing some rain and drizzle. Upstream, we do see if you

0:28:08 > 0:28:12breaks in the cloud. Those could emerge across and western parts of

0:28:12 > 0:28:16the UK tomorrow. A change of fortunes, perhaps. In those breaks

0:28:16 > 0:28:20in the cloud, we have this milder air and those temperatures could

0:28:20 > 0:28:25push up towards 13 degrees or so. A mild night tonight. Still one or two

0:28:25 > 0:28:29breaks towards East Anglia, but this cloud is continuing to push slowly

0:28:29 > 0:28:33eastwards. Still some more rain and drizzle. There becomes lighter and

0:28:33 > 0:28:43more patchy.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Quite a bit of mist and hill fog in that rain and typical temperatures,

0:28:53 > 0:28:555-7d. No frost by Monday morning. Instead, two weather fronts getting

0:28:55 > 0:28:58close to the UK. Most of the rain coming on the first one. It is

0:28:58 > 0:29:01between those two weather fronts we will get the breaks in the cloud and

0:29:01 > 0:29:03a milder air. A change of fortunes because eastern Scotland and eastern

0:29:03 > 0:29:06England likely to be dull and rap with some rain and drizzle. Further

0:29:06 > 0:29:08west, a little sunshine possible, particularly around coastal areas

0:29:08 > 0:29:10and perhaps in Northern Ireland ahead of the next weather front

0:29:10 > 0:29:13bringing the next band of rain later on. But a mild day. 10-13d, cooler

0:29:13 > 0:29:16in the east where we have that rain and drizzle. That will still be

0:29:16 > 0:29:20around overnight tomorrow night. You see the two main areas of rain

0:29:20 > 0:29:25converging, the cloud breaks later in Northern Ireland and across

0:29:25 > 0:29:28western Scotland, perhaps North Wales in north-west England. Turning

0:29:28 > 0:29:31a little chilly, not too cold because there will be a breeze.

0:29:31 > 0:29:37Milder underneath the cloud as we head into Tuesday. Probably a chilly

0:29:37 > 0:29:42wind blowing across the Midlands and East Anglia. Some outbreaks of rain

0:29:42 > 0:29:47Tuesday afternoon, that tends to slowly Peter out. In the West, more

0:29:47 > 0:29:52likely to see some sunshine at times. Still some decent

0:29:52 > 0:29:56temperatures, 10-11d, but colder in eastern England. Things will be

0:29:56 > 0:29:59drying up because high pressure is building in across the UK. It will

0:29:59 > 0:30:03keep these weather fronts at bay. This is quite a change of type. We

0:30:03 > 0:30:07haven't seen much high pressure over the past few weeks. It does mean

0:30:07 > 0:30:11after a mild start to the week, it'll gradually turn a little

0:30:11 > 0:30:15colder, but with the high building on it should become dry in most

0:30:15 > 0:30:18areas. Goodbye.
