05/03/2018 Victoria Derbyshire

Hello, it's Monday, it's 9 o'clock,

I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

welcome to the programme.

Top story today, The Shape Of Water,

about a woman who falls in love with

a sea creature has taken Best

picture at the Oscars. Gary Oldman

picks up Best actor and Frances

McDormand Best actress.

If I may be

so honoured to have all the female

nominees in every category stand

with me in this room tonight. The

actors, Meryl

with me in this room tonight. The

actors, Meryl, if you do it,

everyone else will. The film-makers,

producers, directors, writers...

Throughout the programme we'll hear

from some of the winners

and tell you everything you need

to know about who won what.

Should trans-women be able to use

female changing rooms, women only

swimming pools, domestic violence

refuges? The issues causing rows for

trans-women.

I can see how passionate

you are and it seems

that you are afraid,

almost, of trans people,

or trans-women.

No, I want to clarify

that before we finish.

Because I am not afraid

of trans people.

We'll explore the issues today.

And - MPs have accused

Sir Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky

of crossing an ethical line

by using drugs in a legal way

to enhance their performance.

We'll bring you the details.

Welcome to the programme,

we're live until 11.

Throughout the programme,

the latest breaking

news and developing stories.

Theresa May is due to give

a speech annoucin a shake up

of planning rules in England

to tackle a housing shortage -

She called it a broken markets not

long ago. We will bring you her

speech live from about 10:30am.

Gary Oldman topped

the British successes at the Oscars

- by winning Best Actor

for his transformation

into Winston Churchill

in Darkest Hour.

And Frances McDormand picked up

the best actress award,

turning her acceptance speech

into a rallying cry for more support

for women in the industry.

James Cook reports from Hollywood.

After a year of darkness,

a splash of colour

returned to Hollywood.

The black threads of protest were

gone, although the determination

to call "Time's Up" on abuse

and to create a more

inclusive industry remained.

If I may be so honoured to have

all the female nominees in every

category stand with me

in this room tonight...

Best Actress winner

Frances McDormand had

a message for the moguls.

Look around, ladies and gentlemen,

because we all have stories to tell

and projects we need financed.

And the winner is,

Gary Oldman, Darkest Hour.

For his transformation

into Winston Churchill,

the British actor saw V for victory

and he thanked his

98-year-old mother.

I say to my mother, "Thank

you for your love and support.

Put the kettle on, I'm

bringing Oscar home."

Congratulations!

There were four more British wins,

including one for The Silent Child,

a short film about a deaf little

girl from Wiltshire.

I made a promise to our 6-year-old

lead actress that I'd sign this

speech, and my hands are shaking

a little bit so I apologise.

Last year, this famous duo

announced the wrong winner.

No such problem this time.

The Shape of Water.

The greatest thing our art does

and our industry does is to erase

the lines in the sand.

We should continue doing that

when the world tells us

to make them deeper.

So inclusion was the theme,

change really is coming

to Hollywood was the message.

James Cook, BBC News, Los Angeles.

A tweet from Simon, Oscars 2010, a

group of over egos that know so

little of People's struggles while

these self service Pack each other

on the back and talk about each

other behind their back. It's not

newsworthy. Sorry about that. We can

bring you more on the Oscars now

because Colin Paterson is live on

the red carpet at the Vanity fair

party. What was the highlight, it

has been a long night for you and

the winners.

Good morning. The

Vanity fair party is reaching its

end down here. You can see some

people starting to come out and head

home to what is the most a list taxi

queue in the whole of Hollywood. The

big story of the night from a

British point of view is Gary Oldman

winning his first Oscar at the age

of 59. This man has played Dracula,

Sid Vicious, Lee Harvey Oswald. He

has won his Oscar for playing

Winston Churchill. We grabbed a word

with him as he arrived with his

kids, grandkids, and his new wife,

who he told us he proposed to the

set of Winston Churchill, Darkest

Hour, while dressed as Winston

Churchill. Even his new grandchild

has Winston as middle name. They

have really taken Winston Churchill

on board. The whole family. He gave

a lovely acceptance speech on stage,

saying he would go and visit his

99-year-old mother, 99 later this

year, and he said he would take the

Oscar, saying the Oscar is coming

home.

Amazing. You said it's the end

of the party. Anyone there you want

to grab for us while you are there

on the striped black and white

carpet, instead of the red carpet?

Guillermo del Toro has not arrived,

the Mexican director who won best

director for The Shape Of Water,

which also won best picture. It's a

fantasy film about a mute cleaner

played by English actress Sally

Hawkins. She falls in love with a

sea creature. Yes, there is human

and fish sex in this film, that's

what the Academy went four for best

picture this year. He hasn't arrived

at the party yet. The composer, who

won best score, he has arrived.

Maybe Guillermo del Toro is off

examining the fish in Hollywood.

Always a joy, Colin Paterson. Colin

Paterson on five live in the early

hours of the morning is always a

highlight for me at Oscar time. Time

for the rest of the morning's news

with Ben Brown in the BBC newsroom.

The cyclist

Sir Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky

have been accused of "crossing

an ethical line" in their use

of medication, in a report by MPs.

A report by the Digital, Culture,

Media and Sport committee

says the prescriptions were used

to enhance performance rather

than just for medical need.

Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky have

strongly refuted the claims.

And our sports correspondent

will have more on this in a moment.

Thousands of people

in Wales and London

and the south east have been

without water or told

to limit their use,

because of burst pipes.

It follows a rapid thaw

after several days of

sub-zero temperatures.

It's led to the closure of a number

of schools in Kent, while in London,

emergency supplies of bottled water

are being distributed.

Simon Clemison sent this update.

He spoke to some hit by shortages in

London.

I haven't had a shower today,

unfortunately.

There is no water in

the taps. No showers, you can't

brush your teeth.

And I worked in

the pub downstairs and they had no

water so they shut early.

You work

in a restaurant, what's it like to

come in and find no water?

It's

critical. Without water you can't do

any business. There is no trade. You

can't wash up, you can't prepare

food, you can't operate.

I just work

down at the corner, but

unfortunately there is no water from

last night. The sink is working now

but I don't know how they will fix

all the problems.

A military helicopter will deliver

emergency supplies this morning in

Cumbria which have been cut off for

five days by heavy snow. Severe

weather wreaked havoc across the

county and some areas will remain

isolated for another 48 hours

because it is taking so long to

clear the roads.

The Chinook helicopter will drop

food, coal and logs for heating,

and electrical heaters.

United Nations officials in Syria

say they hope an escalation

in fighting in the rebel-held

enclave of Eastern Ghouta

over the weekend

won't stop them taking

in humanitarian supplies today.

President Assad has given

permission for the aid convoy,

but said the government's military

offensive to retake

the area must continue.

Our correspondent Jeremy Bowen

is with one of those

aid convoys and sent this report.

These are the long-awaited trucks,

the convoy which is due to go into

Eastern Ghouta. The first convoy

since the 14th of February. Frankly

before that there were very few.

It's not very far from here. There

has been steady outgoing fire from a

heavy gun not too far away. This is

the first slight easing of the

siege. It's only temporary, though.

And I think the people in Eastern

Ghouta who get the supplies which

the trucks are carrying will be very

pleased to have them. The wider

issue here is the Syrians, with

their Russian allies, are pressing

very hard onto Eastern Ghouta, and

if they win here, and indications

are that they will, then it will be

a major victory for President Assad

and his regime.

Italy appears to be heading

for a hung Parliament

after its general election.

There was a voting shift

towards right-leaning

and populist parties.

There's no overall majority

but the big winners

were the right-wing coalition

of former Prime Minister

Silvio Berlusconi,

and the anti-establishment Five Star

Movement.

Theresa May is to introduce measures

which could see construction firms

which have been slow

to build new homes -

refused planning

permission in future.

The Prime Minister will tell

developers to "step

up and do their bit".

She'll warn that sitting on land

as its value rises is not acceptable

at a time of chronic housing need.

That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 9.30.

We can get some sports now. The 52

page report, combating doping in

sport. The best part of two years in

the making. It's full of claims,

findings and recommendations from

the group of MPs. The content, we

have been aware of some of it

because we have been across those

committee meetings where they have

quizzed Dave Brailsford from British

cycling and Team Sky. The crux of it

is the

is the use of TUEs, therapeutic use

exemption certificates, in order to

use drugs that would normally be

banned under the Wada code, but it

is an athlete or cyclist is not

well, you get one of the Tempo Mac

and you can use it. We were aware of

much of the content of the report,

but what is quite new is MPs say

they have a trusted source with

confidential information from within

British cycling who claims the use

of TUEs pushed an ethical boundary

and that the use of certain

steroids, which Bradley Wiggins used

TUEs, was widely used beyond the

recommendation of using any TUEs.

That is what is so damning to the

reputation of British cycling. They

have refuted all these accusations.

Bradley Wiggins says, I find it so

sad that accusations can be made

where people can be accused of

things they have never done, which

are then regarded as fact. I

strongly refute the claim that any

drug was used without medical need.

There has been a Team Sky response

as well. They strongly refute the

serious claim that medication is

being used by the team to enhance

performance. They say they are

surprised and disappointed that the

committee has chosen to present an

anonymous and potentially malicious

claim in this way without presenting

any evidence or giving us an

opportunity to respond. They say

it's unfair both to the team and to

the riders in question. Just to

simplify things regarding this TUE,

an interview Bradley Wiggins gave to

Andrew Marr on the BBC about 18

months ago, where he said he used

them because he was unwell,

suffering from asthma and pollen

allergies, and he used them to get

back to a level playing field. If an

athlete is 75, 80%, you use a TUE,

and these normally banned drugs, to

get back to 100%, to get back to a

level laying field, in the words of

Sir Bradley Wiggins. What this

report is asserting and alleging is

that the use of TUEs was used for

100% athletes to get them above and

beyond, effectively saying that they

were performance enhancing.

And it's

not just cycling and Bradley Wiggins

in the spotlight. Who else is

highlighted in the report?

In

athletics, Sebastian Coe gave

evidence about what exactly he knew

in his role as vice-chairman of the

IAAF, of which he is now president.

He said he wasn't aware of some very

serious allegations of Russian

doping. We although what has come to

pass since then because these go

back to 2014, 20 13. Any e-mail he

received from Dave Bedford. He said

he did not open an attachment that

had some serious allegations. The

MPs have found his evidence to them

and to Parliament was misleading.

The IAAF have responded of Lord Coe

today to say they have written to

the committee to explain the

complexity of some of the

anti-doping codes, so they will back

their man. What has come out of this

is a recommendation that the General

Medical Council pursue and

investigate a couple of doctors.

Doctor Richard Friedman, involved in

the whole British cycling setup. He

did not give that much evidence

because he is not well, but they

suggest they should pursue him to

find out exactly what he knew about

giving those drugs to British

cyclists. And another doctor who is

now at the Football Association,

part of the England setup. He used

to be at UK athletics, and he gave a

supplement injection to Mo Farah

before the London Marathon in 2014.

He did not keep any record of that

whatsoever and they are also

recommending that they look into

that incident when Mo was given a

supplement by what is now the head

of the Football Association's

medical setup.

Thank you, more on that story at

about 9:45am.

It's estimated that

about 1% of the British

population are transgender or gender

non-confirming, yet rows

about rights for trans people is one

of the defining issues society

is trying to grapple with right now.

Some women, often radical feminists

who are sometimes called terfs -

trans exclusionary radical feminists

- believe that trans

women aren't real women,

can pose a danger to other women

and therefore shouldn't

be allowed into safe

women only spaces

like changing rooms or

domestic violence refuges.

But trans women say

you don't need to be born

with a vagina to be a woman.

Often the debate is polarised,

aggressive and offensive.

We've tried to explore the issues

in a sensitive and nuanced way.

Rebecca Root, a transgender actor,

who stars in the BBC comedy

Boy Meets Girl reports for us.

You say you want a debate,

but you are called trans-phobic

for wanting that debate.

All we're hearing about is all

of people's imagined fears

if we make it easier

for you and I to change

our birth certificates.

It's playing to this idea that

if you don't believe that

a trans woman is a woman,

for example, and a trans

man is a man, you're

going against the law.

I find it incredible that a small

group of women think that they can

tell other women who should

and shouldn't represent them.

I'm Rebecca Root, I'm an actor

and a voice teacher.

And I am also transgender.

Since I transitioned in 2003,

I've seen a big change in the way

that British society now views

and accepts the trans community.

Mostly for the better.

But there's an increasing number

of complex issues that

are still needing to find answers,

so how does society

and politicians catch up?

How do they find the solutions

so that everybody's happy?

41% of trans people in Britain say

they've experienced a hate crime

in the last 12 months

because of their gender identity.

The Government is currently

consulting on transgender rights,

which has sparked a debate about how

best to shape social

policy for the community,

and push for greater equality.

If you look at the way that

institutions are built in countries,

they're built around that dichotomy,

the binary between men and women.

This is how we've been able

to develop women's health care,

right, or how, when we think

about prisons, we've created women's

prisons and men's prisons,

because of an assumption

about the different needs

and challenges that these two

genders face, right?

The difficulty then with gender

identity discussions is there's

simply no way for governments

to really understand them,

because they don't fit within that

traditional framework of dividing

the general population.

The UK Government in

particular simply doesn't

see transgender people.

And when I say doesn't

see them, I don't mean

that they don't know they exist -

they certainly know they exist.

Some of the women raising concerns

about these issues say

although they just want an open

discussion about them,

they're being silenced.

Pilgrim Tucker is one of them.

You say you want a debate.

There's no possible

debate to be had but

you are called trans-phobic

for wanting that debate.

What a lot of people are saying

is that there are very significant

differences between trans women

and people who are born women,

both biological and on the basis

of their different anatomy,

how they're treated in society

and their experience of the world.

That means a lot of careful thought.

Let's slow down and talk about why

women might feel cautious about

having trans-women in their spaces,

places where they will feel

vulnerable.

I remember that when I

was transitioning, in an attempt to

lose weight and get myself into

shape I joined a gym. I know that I

felt just as vulnerable in a female

changing room so far as feeling the

scrutiny of other women's eyes as I

walked into my swimming costume. I

always use a cubicle to get changed

inside. And I would never use a

communal shower. I can see how

passionate you are, and it seems you

are afraid almost of trans people or

trans-women.

No, I want to clarify

that because I'm not afraid of trans

people. Women have very well

grounded, valid reasons to be

cautious of men both from personal

experience and the statistics. But I

am not afraid of you, did you ever

get the impression I was afraid of

you? I don't think you did. Luck I'm

not in a changing room. I don't

think there's anything I've said to

make you believe I am afraid of

trans people. We spoke about the

problems of male crimes towards

women, OK? My explanation was that

is why women are cautious of trans

people.

The way in which transgender

people are legally recognised as

something the Government is

consulting on. Today, anyone who

wants to legally change their gender

in the UK has to apply for gender

recognition certificate, many don't

because they feel the process is

long and meaning. To qualify, trans

people don't need to have had

surgery but must have lived for two

years in their preferred gender. One

way of doing this would be to let

people self declare without the need

for medical evidence.

We have set

out plans to reform the gender

recognition act, streamlining and de

medicalising the process for

changing gender. Because being

trans-is not an illness and it

shouldn't be treated as such.

Those

that campaign for the transgender

community, argue that self IDing is

the next step.

the next step.

The really

undignified public discourse about

gay marriage wasn't really about gay

marriage, it was just an excuse to

-- for people to vent ugly

homophobia. Anyone will be able to

walk into a toilet and it will be

the end of the world, and it's

nonsense. All we are hearing about

our people's imagined fears about

how it will be the end of the world

if we make it easier for you and I

to change our birth to -- birth

certificates and it's misplaced

discourse.

But self identification

is not something everyone agrees

with.

I am opposed to the

Government's new fascination with

intervening in relation to GRCs and

self identification. In a society we

can accept, if somebody came up to

me on the street or I was working

with them and they said I want you

to call me Bill instead of Billy, as

a generous and understanding person

I would say short and I think most

people get on with that and there is

not need to over legalise this issue

I think.

So why is there a debate?

Because nobody has, as far as I can

tell, nobody has called for this.

There has not been a mass transit

activist movement to call for these

law changes.

I think the suicide

statistics are fairly in our favour

if you like, that there is a great

deal of unhappiness and depression

surrounding not being able to access

health care, which having a GRC

would permit.

It's playing into this

idea that if you don't believe

trans-woman is a woman for example,

then you are not only the wrong kind

of person in society and bigoted but

you are also going against the law,

you are going against what the law

is and that should still be up for

debate.

Most people who are Charles

lived with that all their lives so

for them it is not an overnight

thing. We are trying to see the

wider point of view as to why the

self identification is such a big

problem. I don't see why it should

be.

The equality act 2010 protects

trans people from discrimination and

anyone who identifies themselves as

a woman, whether it's their legal

gender or not, can use single sex

facilities. It does however allow

service providers to refuse a trans

person is access to single sex

services if they are seen as

detrimental to others. But does the

legislation need updating?

You're

saying we will have a new system in

a prison to placate the personal

wishes of a few trans people. I am

sounding harsh but that's kind of

what it is. There might be some

questions about the need to do that.

It might not be necessary.

Where do

you stand on things like trans-women

having access to women's refuges for

example or other single sex spaces?

To be thrown into a situation with

somebody who potentially ostensibly

looks like a man or not all trans

women look like... Dress themselves

as men, but for the grey area I

think it is important believe that

as a gender segregated area. There

needs should come first.

Relatively

soon after my transition, I was

beaten up by three male youths.

Where would I go I was seeking

refuge? Where would be a safe place

for me?

It's obviously horrible for

you that that happened to you and I

want to be sympathetic but at the

same time I think this is the issue.

People's personal experience is one

thing, the political question of

whether or not we deem women only

spaces, especially in relation to

rape and violence, are important,

should be kept as separate as

possible because the problem is

anecdote and personal feeling,

though important, often trumps the

political question in terms of

policy, law.

If I hadn't been

trans-and I was an ordinary person,

and I had daughters, there's a man

coming into women's toilets, I might

have been like, I don't like the

sound of that. I do think there are

people with legitimate concerns who

don't know what's happening or they

are confused. I think there is a

very small but vocal dedicated group

of people who have a visceral

prejudice against trans people, who

are exploiting people's ignorance

and confusion. It is playing on

people's visceral prejudices.

Actually there was no evidence that

gay people would harm children by

having gay teachers, there's no

evidence that children adopted by

same-sex couples are any more likely

to be in danger. I think it is

really responsible that people are

whipping up this fear against us

based on zero evidence. It's not a

debate and I find it offensive it is

framed as a debate. Hatred against

trans people is not a debate.

The

issue of trans people in politics is

also making waves. A crowd Fonda has

been set up to stop trans-women

being selected for all women short

lists as candidates. Pilgrim took --

pilgrim Tucker has put her name on

the campaign.

the campaign.

Women in the Labour

Party really genuinely feel they

haven't been listened to and that is

because of the proper usual

processes, we haven't gone through

those. So I think whatever issue it

was, if you are suddenly expected to

expect something -- to accept

something with no debate, no

evidence, no rational discussion,

feeling like you are being called a

bigot just for asking for that

discussion, whatever legislation

that was, whatever social issue that

was, it would get people's backs up.

Doctor Heather Peto was a

trans-woman and selected on the

short list.

I find it incredible that one group

of women could tell other groups of

women who can and can't represent

them. If the candidates want to

select me they can and if they don't

want to they don't. I don't actually

stop people from standing. The

selection lists could be six or

five, and it's up to the local

selection committee how me people

stand. It's for members to decide.

I'm as valid a woman as any other

woman. It's just that I have had a

different journey getting there.

The

doctor showed me the constituency

she is keen to represent. Although

she says people are largely

supportive of her standing, not

everyone feels the same.

I have been

bombarded with nasty social media

posts and e-mails. It amounts to

abuse, I can't categorise it as

anything else. For standing in the

women only short list and for being

the Labour Party's transgender

officer. I knocked on one of these

doors. I was out with a group of

other Labour canvassers and this guy

took a dislike to me and chased me

down his pathway.

Do you think that

response of being chased like that

was because of your physical

leanings or was it more maybe

because you are trams? -- political

leanings.

I think it was because I

was trams. Because I was trans. I

think the person was just an angry

person.

It's clear from the

conversations I have had and also

from my own experience that although

the trans community has come a long

way in fighting for equality and

recognition, there is still a long

way to go. If modern Britain is to

find the answers and shape policy

around them, then understanding and

respect is key.

Much more reaction to

come after 10:00am -

and of course we're really

keen to hear from you.

Michelle on Facebook, as a survivor

of domestic violence, I am shocked

trans-women care more about their

rights and the fears of women who

have been beaten and traumatised by

men. Survivors of domestic violence

often have PTSD for years and

someone who pushes the unwanted

presents onto a survivor just to

prove a point needs to look closely

at their intentions. Emmett says

women's refuges should be exempt

from accepting trans-women. I was in

a refuge for seven months last year

and needed a woman only space to

feel safe. Steve says, they are

scared of trans-women. If a man goes

through the transition to be a woman

and once they achieve this life

changing journey, they should have

the support of society and be

allowed to live as a woman. They are

women and should be treated as such.

Do keep your comments coming in.

Coming up before 11am...

The mother who's had two

children involved in two

separate US school shootings.

We are live at the Vanity Fair

post-Oscars party. In there, the

likes of Emma Watson, Drake and Gary

Oldman. I hope they are all dancing

together.

Time for the latest news -

here's Ben Brown.

Gary Oldman was the big British

success at the 2018 Oscars,

collecting the Best Actor Award

for his transformation

into Winston Churchill for Darkest

Hour.

The other big win on the night was

Frances McDormand, who picked up the

best actress award and paid tribute

to the other women nominees.

That's a summary of

the latest BBC News.

I will be back at 10am. Another

message from Emma. Women escaping

domestic violence need a safe space.

My son, aged 18, wasn't allowed in

the refuge with me and had to live

with my parents. I understood why.

Lots of refuges don't allow males

over 16 to live there with their

mothers. Refuges need to remain

gender separate.

for almost 12 years but following

hip surgery he has been out of

action and is now 29th in the world.

Edmund reached the Australian open

semifinals and is now up to 24th.

A fantasy film about a woman

who falls in love with a fish has

won the Best Picture award

at the Oscars.

Gary Oldman was named

Best Actor, for his portrayal

of Sir Winston Churchill

in Darkest Hour and Frances

McDormand, the star of Three

Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,

won Best Actress.

Frances McDormand, Three Billboards

Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

If I may be so honoured to have

all the female nominees stand

in every category stand with me

inside this room tonight.

The actors, Meryl, if you do it,

everyone else will, come on.

The film-makers, the producers,

directors, the writers.

The cinematographer.

The composers, the song writers.

OK, look around, everybody.

Look around, ladies and gentlemen,

because we all have stories to tell

and projects we need financed.

Oscar is the most beloved

and respected man in Hollywood.

And there's a very good reason why.

Just look at him.

Keeps his hands where

you can see them.

Never says a rude word.

I did it all by myself!

LAUGHTER.

Of different voices, of our voices.

Joining together in a mighty chorus

that is finally saying, time's up.

And the Oscar goes to...

Jordan Peele, Get Out.

This means so much to me.

I stopped writing this

movie about 20 times

because I thought it was impossible.

I thought it wasn't going to work.

I thought no one would

ever make this movie.

But I kept coming back to it

because I knew if someone let me

make this movie then people

would hear it and

people would see it.

And the Oscar goes to...

The Shape Of Water.

CHEERING.

Oh God, hello.

I made a promise to our

six-year-old lead actress that

I'd sign this speech.

My hands are shaking

a little bit so I apologise.

Roger A Deakins, Blade Runner 2049.

I say to my mother, thank

you for your love and support.

Put the kettle on, I'm

bringing Oscar home.

Let's go live to the black and white

carpet of the Vanity Fair party.

Colin Paterson, what was the best

bit of the whole night?

I will come

to that. The things I do for you.

That's the most A-list party in the

world, and every journalist has gone

into it. I'm the only one left here,

and that's for you. I could be in

their! I could be dancing with Drake

and you have denied me!

They

wouldn't let you near him. What was

the best bit of the night?

The three

best bits, Gary Oldman's speech. It

was absolutely charming. At the end

he said he was so delighted to have

won this because this year his

mother turns 99. He said he would go

and visit her tomorrow and take his

Oscar home. I believe we can hear

from Gary Oldman at this party.

She

is probably in bed by now, but I

will be seeing her in the morning.

She has been... She brought me up

and has... I don't know what mum

doesn't want an Oscar for her son

who is an actor. But I think she has

wanted this for me for a long time.

Winston Churchill was famous for his

inspirational speeches. I wonder if

he felt any pressure to live up to

them tonight.

There is a bit of

pressure. There is a wheeled

chemical thing that happens when

your name is called. I can't really

define it, but it's unlike anything

else. And then you've got Meryl

Streep ten feet away staring up at

you, next to Denzel Washington. It's

surreal. It really is. I can't

believe that it says, Academy Awards

to Gary Oldman on it. I'm still a

bit sort of... You know...

And he's

had a real influence on your life,

because you now have a grandson who

has been named after Winston

Churchill. Is that right?

My son

Alfie worked on the film. He is a

camera assistant. He was here with

his mum, Leslie, tonight. I don't

know if they are here or not. He had

worked on the movie. When he heard

he was having a son. So his middle

name is Winston.

Amazing for Gary Oldman and his mum.

We can talk about all the winners.

Rhianna Dhillon, film

critic and former R1

presenter Emma Bullimore,

entertainment reporter Amancay Tapia

who's directed award winning short

films like "Rescue Me" and "Campo de

Batalla".

That's go the big three, best

picture, Best actor and actress. Did

the right ones win?

I think so.

There were not huge shocks. Shape

Water stole it from three build or

was maybe a bit of a surprise. Gary

Oldman and Frances McDormand were

not surprises. Frances McDormand has

made great speeches along the way

and this was another big one.

Gary

Oldman is one of those awards, it's

a legacy award. It might not be the

best role ever for him but he has

done so many incredible films in his

career. The fact this is his very

first Oscar is shocking.

What did

you think is a director?

I think the

Oscars are always a bit predictable

and this year for the first time we

had a group of films that were

unpredictable going for best

picture.

Is that because they were

so good or because it is changing?

They were a bit edgy. We had films

with an independent edge to them.

Films like get out and Lady Bird. In

the end they went for a safe film,

The Shape Of Water. It was the one

film out of all the films that

didn't really make a statement. It

was a fantastic film. It didn't have

that many Hollywood elements because

here we have a beauty and the beast

love story where the beauty is not

such a beauty and the beast is not

such a beast. But it's very human.

Were you surprised the Me Too

movement didn't get more of a

mention?

The fact is Jimmy said it

in his opening monologue, it was a

good chance to set everybody else

up, to say that we could talk about

it and we could have that dialogue

and we are not bored of it yet. I

was a little bit surprised that more

speeches did not include it. But

having said that, there were not

many women on the platform to

receive awards. They were giving

them.

Which is potentially wide

Frances McDormand appealed for all

the female nominees to stand up.

I

was impressed with Jimmy because he

tackled it head on. He mentioned

Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein by

name. He made jokes but also said,

it's not good enough. But it's also

a celebration and a positive night.

Frances McDormand said it was

difficult for women to get

particular projects financed. He

said all the women have ideas, make

proper appointments, don't talk to

us at the parties tonight. Do you

think it's harder for women to get

projects financed?

I think the issue is about the

people financing the films who

cannot make it to the Oscars. They

are majority male and Caucasian, and

probably in their 60s so they relate

to masculine stories. Masculine

stories are seen as universal,

female stories are seen as niche.

I

want to ask you about Rachel Shenton

and Chris Overton, Hollyoaks actors

who

who won best live action short film

for The Silent Child, and Rachel did

her acceptance speech in sign

language.

language.

There's the disabilities

that are getting left behind, and we

need to be more inclusive across the

board. That was a sweet and lovely

way, instead of making a political

it was like this is my way of being

inclusive and this is how we can

step it up a little bit.

Finally, I

want to talk about one particular

outfit, step forward Olympic figure

spectre Adam Rippon and his bondage

outfit -- figure skater.

I was more

impressed with the west side story

star who wore the same dress that

she wore to the Oscars in 1962,

amazing.

I cannot even fit into a

dress I was last week! Incredible.

Thank you.

Coming up...

Theresa May will tell developers

to "step up and do their bit"

as she introduces new measures

to punish firms who build

houses too slowly.

We'll bring you the Prime Minister's

speech after half past ten.

Britain's most decorated

Olympian Sir Bradley Wiggins used

drugs to enhance his performance.

That's what MPs on the Culture,

Media and Sport select

committee have found.

They say though he didn't break

the rules in doing so, but he

crossed an ethical line.

And they've accused the head

of international athletics,

Lord Coe, of being "misleading"

and questioned the use

of a substance by Britain's

greatest-ever distance runner,

Sir Mo Farah.

Sir Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky say

they "strongly refute" the claims.

In a tweet late last night,

he said he finds it "so sad that

accusations can be made,

where people can be accused

of things they have never done

which are then regarded as facts.

I strongly refute the claim that any

drug was used without medical need."

Well, this is Bradley

Wiggins when he was asked

about the claims by Andrew Marr

in September 2016.

It was prescribed for allergies and

respiratory problems. I am a

lifelong sufferer of asthma and I

went to 19 doctor at the time, and

we in turn went to a specialist to

see if there was anything else we

could do to cure these problems.

This wasn't trying to find a way of

gaining an unfair advantage, it was

about getting back on a level

playing field to compete at a high

level.

The MPs' report calls

on the Team Sky founder

and Principal Sir Dave Brailsford

to take responsibility.

Here's our sports correspondent

Andy Swiss asking him

about the contents of a 'mystery

package' received by

Sir Bradley in 2011.

Have you been able to provide any

paperwork about the package?

We

provided all of the evidence...

Have

you been able to provide evidence to

prove what it was?

We have given

them everything we have got. I have

said everything I want to say and I

will leave it there, but I have

given the paperwork to the right

people. I cannot talk on behalf of

British cycling, they will provide

what they have got.

If the fans knew

you had the paperwork, that would

reassure them.

Let's talk now to Tony Doyle,

a former Olympic cyclist,

British world champion and briefly

president of British Cycling,

Diane Modahl who was wrongly accused

of taking testosterone

and banned from competing,

and Labour MP Ian Lucas who's one

of the MPs behind the report.

Essentially an anonymous allegation

is your evidence?

There are number

of people from within cycling who

made allegations to the committee

who are very concerned about what

was happening and wanted to present

evidence to us. There were multiple

obligations made and we relied on

that evidence.

So what is the

evidence apart from the allegations?

They'd missed by individuals about

the use of performance enhancing

drugs within cycling which was

presented to the committee. Some of

the evidence was presented

anonymously by whistle-blowers who

did not want to disclose their names

but other people did give their

names and they presented the

information. I have to say a lot of

this could have been cleared up if

Team Sky had acted professionally in

presenting medical evidence and

retaining medical evidence which

they should have had and which they

have never supplied. So all of these

issues were within the control of

Team Sky, but despite repeated

opportunities, they have never

presented the evidence and the cloud

that exists over the sport rest

squarely within Team Sky and British

cycling.

So Bradley Wiggins says he

finds it sad people can be accused

of things they have never done. We

strongly refute this, we are

surprised and disappointed the

committee has chosen to present an

anonymous and potentially malicious

claims without any evidence,

claims without any evidence, says

Sir Dave Brailsford.

Sir Dave Brailsford.

There are

multiple sources. It's an intensely

sad day.

How do you know they are

not malicious?

Dave Brailsford gave

evidence to the committee himself

and could not satisfy us. It was his

responsibility as the manager in

charge to have details of the

medical adults that were being used

by his riders within the team. At no

time has he been able to present

that evidence. If he had done so,

all of these issues could have been

dealt with.

Do you think you should

now consider his position?

It's been

a gross failure of management on his

part. Those of us who love sport and

want to have sport that is honest

and straightforward know that today

is a very sad day. We take no

pleasure in presenting this report

but we owe it to the people who

presented us with evidence to give

an honest assessment and if Britain

wants to hold up its head in the

world on doping, we need to look at

these cases rigorously and present

an honest opinion which is what our

committee has done.

Tony Doyle, do

you think Sir Dave Brailsford should

consider his position?

Most

definitely. There's no question that

ethically rules have been broken,

the line hasn't just been jumped,

cleared marginally, it has been

jumped with a huge margin and they

have taken advantage of the rules to

enhance performance. It is a sport

which I love, which I've had a

fantastic career, I am still

involved and it is a sad day our

sport is being dragged through the

mire for the wrong reasons.

Although

the committee acknowledged rules

have not been broken.

The world

governing body and Wada have got to

look at the rules more closely so

that the steroids can only be used

to treat illnesses. You can use

asthma as a masking agent to use the

TUE fall of the reasons.

Would you

ban TUEs?

The fact Team Sky have not

kept records...

I mean how do you

react to the fact there are no

records? Apparently Bradley Wiggins'

information was on a laptop that got

stolen.

That is very convenient, and

very convenient records were not

kept and we are told Team Sky and

British cycling are not sharing

staff or personnel but they are

still sharing the same building.

They are both working out of the

national cycling Centre so there's a

direct conflict of interest.

I want

to ask about Mo Farah, MPs found he

was given a drug before the 2014

London Marathon.

What you think about the doctor did

according to the MP report?

Bradley

Wiggins is correct about one thing,

neither him nor Mo Farah had tested

positive for drugs in sport and the

report go so much further than what

we are hearing about today. It goes

to the Court of the governance of

the IAAF, the way the organisation

is directed and controlled. We know

the record-keeping has been very

poor. We know that the ethics and

the moral credibility of the

organisation has been in question

for a long time, and what the

parliamentary report does today is

confirm everything that most of us

are aware of and have been saying

for a long time, that the code of

conduct, the duty of care that the

IAAF have to all innocent athletes

is not up to standard and that

cannot continue because what it will

mean is that innocent athletes will

actually find themselves in a really

difficult and uncomfortable

situation because the governance,

the people who are there to protect

us are not doing their job in the

way they should be doing it.

This

issue of poor record-keeping, which

you say makes it harder for clean

athletes to clear their names

effectively, how do you react to the

fact the international governing

body is not making sure that really

basic record-keeping is done?

It is

shocking, it goes to the heart of

the trust, the carer and

independents that athletes need to

have, and need to be reassured that

every time they go on a bike or step

on the start line that they are

protected. It talks about the

behaviour so the individuals who are

sitting around the table and

governing the sport, is there enough

scrutiny, is there enough challenge

coming from those people who have

not the passion, because we are all

passionate about sport, we love

sport, but passion is not going to

fix this problem. It is going to be

a strategic, credible, well governed

organisation with the right skills

and the right knowledge and

expertise at around that table, and

clearly that is not there at the

moment.

Therefore are you saying

Lord Coe should consider his

position?

I think he wants to fix

this problem and he should

absolutely be looking at his team.

He should be looking around his

table and saying, are these the

right people in terms of the

behaviours, the trust, the

independent judgment, the openness,

the objectivity, the selflessness

that it requires to get it right at

governance level. What the report

confirms is that there are far too

many cracks within the governance

system for us to be reliably

reassured that Lord Coe has got that

right at the moment.

Thank you,

Diane Modahl. And you heard from Ian

Lucas, and Tony Doyle, thank you

very much. Former president of

British cycling. Team Sky and so

Bradley Wiggins and say they

strongly refute the claims. Now the

Bradley Wiggins and say they

strongly refute the claims. Now the

weather with Carol. It will remain

unsettled, but is extreme weather as

we had last week. Some fabulous

pictures to show you, the first one

shows quite an icy scene and the

next one is a very similar story in

that there is a fair bit of cloud

around in Newquay in Cornwall. Today

the cloud will thicken where we

currently have sunshine, and more

rain will spread in. Meanwhile we

have snow across the Scottish hills,

above about 200 metres. What's

happening is low pressure is still

governing our weather and it be with

us for much of the week, although

not much in the way of wind. In

Scotland there will still be a

noticeable wind-chill. If we start

in Scotland, we have the snow

largely in the hills, at lower

levels it's more likely to be sleet

or rain, then the showers in the

south-west and Wales replaced by

rain slowly moving northwards. After

a sunny start the cloud will build

and temperatures milder in the

south, but in the north still cold.

Don't forget in north-east Scotland

we have the wind-chill to add-on as

well. Overnight weather front

producing this rain migrates

northwards, engages with the cold

air, and indeed once again we will

see no. We expect it to be mainly in

the hills above 100m, and once again

the risk of ice and we could see

frost. As well as that, the chance

of seeing patchy mist and fog

forming. A cold night in prospect,

these are the temperatures you can

expect in towns and cities. In rural

areas it will be lower than this.

Tomorrow our weather front continues

drifting northwards, mostly at low

levels we are looking at rain. On

higher ground it is more likely to

be snow and as we move further south

quite a lot of cloud and a grey day

tomorrow with showers across

Northern Ireland and the south-west

of England and the Channel Islands.

Still only three degrees in Aberdeen

and balmy 12 degrees in London. As

we head into Wednesday, low pressure

still in charge of our weather,

centred in the North Sea, and we can

see everything topping across it

which means in north-west Scotland

we will see wintriness in the

forecast and wintry showers too

across Northern Ireland, and showers

in the self heavy with hail.

Hello it's Monday, it's 10 o'clock,

I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

Our lead story today -

The Shape of Water, about a woman

who falls in love with a sea

creature, takes the top

honours at the Oscars.

Gary Oldman picks up best actor

for his portrayal of

Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.

To my mother, thank

you for your love and support.

Put the kettle on.

I'm bringing Oscar home.

Also on the programme -

it's one of the defining issues

facing society right now.

Should trans-women be allowed

into spaces traditionally

seen as women only?

I remember when I was transitioning,

in an attempt to lose some weight

and get into shape, I joined a gym.

I know I felt just as vulnerable in

a female changing room, so far as

feeling the scrutiny of other

women's eyes.

And Rebecca Root,

the author of our report,

will be with us shortly,

along with a transgender campaigner

and two feminists who don't believe

trans women should be allowed

into women's only spaces.

And in around half an hour's time

Theresa May will set out plans

to increase the pressure

on developers in England to build

more homes to tackle

the housing shortage.

We';ll bring it to you live.

Here's Ben Brown with the latest

news.

Gary Oldman was the big British

success at the 2018 Oscars

collecting the Best Actor Award

for his transformation

into Winston Churchill

for Darkest Hour.

The other big winner on the night

was Frances McDormand,

who picked up the best actress award

and paid tribute to

the other female nominees.

If I may be so honoured to have

all the female nominees in every

category stand with me

inside this room tonight.

The actors - Meryl, if you do it,

everyone else will, come on.

OK, look around, everybody.

Look around, ladies and gentlemen,

because we all have stories to tell

and projects we need financed.

The cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins

and Team Sky have been accused

of "crossing an ethical line"

in their use of medication,

in a report by MPs.

The report by the Digital, Culture,

Media and Sport committee says

the prescriptions were used

to enhance performance rather

than just for medical need.

Bradley Wiggins and Team Sky have

strongly refuted the claims.

And our sports correspondent

will have more on this in a moment.

Ian Lucas, one of the MPs on the

committee behind the report has

given his reaction to this

programme.

I have to say, a lot of

this could all have been cleared up

if Team Sky had acted professionally

in presenting medical evidence and

retaining medical evidence, which

they ought to have had and which

they have never supplied. So all of

these issues were in the control of

Team Sky. But despite repeated

opportunities, they have never

presented that evidence and the

clout that exists over the sport

rests squarely with Team Sky and

also British cycling. -- and the

cloud that exists.

Thousands of people

in Wales and London

and the south east have been

without water or told

to limit their use,

because of burst pipes.

It follows a rapid thaw

after several days of

sub-zero temperatures.

It's led to the closure of a number

of schools in Kent, while in London,

emergency bottled water

is being distributed.

A military helicopter will deliver

emergency supplies this morning to

villages in Cumbria that have been

cut off for five days because of

heavy snow. Severe weather wreaking

havoc across the county and some

areas will remain isolated for

another 48 hours because it is

taking so long to clear the roads. A

Chinook helicopter will drop food,

Cole and logs for heating, and

electrical heaters.

That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10.30.

We will talk more about the rights

of trans-women in a moment. Jane

sent an e-mail, it's clear to me the

trans-women on the show are not real

women, they fight other women

instead of complaining to men, which

are the root of the problem. That's

why the patriarch it doesn't go

away, women are fighting each other.

This tweet, trans activists are

quick to judge people about the lack

of understanding and caring towards

trans people, while simultaneously

dismissing out of hand the thoughts

of those who have concerns about

shared spaces. Kate on Twitter says,

trans-women are women and that

should be the end of it. Survivor or

not, no one should be exempt from

the blatant trans-phobia of

insisting otherwise. Rebecca says

she supports the trans community in

their fight for equal rights. But I

oppose trans forming an identity by

hijacking and opposing women's

rights. Stop fighting those born

women with the trans-phobic label.

Slow down, perverse and take pride

in forming your own identity.

Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning -

use the hashtag Victoria live

and If you text, you will be charged

at the standard network rate.

We can go to the sport now. Starting

with the Department for Culture,

Media and Sport select committee

report that says Team Sky and

Bradley Wiggins used potential

performance enhancing drugs. They

claim drugs were used beyond the

requirement for therapeutic use

exemption. Boast Bradley Wiggins and

Team Sky refute all the allegations.

The BBC athletics commentator and

former Olympic champion Steve Cram

gave his response to the report. --

both Bradley Wiggins...

We have to

protect athletes at the highest

level but we have to be careful not

to step over the line in terms of

misusing TUEs. I welcome any

scenario where we get the guidelines

right on that. I don't think anybody

has done anything that break the

rules around doping, I'm pretty sure

about that. Some of the headlines

coming out are probably not

accurate. I think shining a

spotlight on it is important to make

sure we don't make any mistakes

going forward.

Also in that report,

Lord Coe, president of the IAAF, is

accused of giving misleading

evidence to the committee regarding

his knowledge of corruption in

Russian athletics. Extensive

coverage of this story on the BBC

sport website. A very good article

by sports editor Dan Roan. We will

be across further reaction to that

as the day progresses. In

football... Manchester city manager

Pep Guardiola has until six o'clock

this evening to respond to an FA

charge of displaying a political

symbol for wearing his Catalan

independence yellow ribbon. The FA

Chief Executive Martin Glenn says

English football's governing body do

not want political symbols in

football. Guardiola's side are 18

points clear at the top of the

Premier League after a 1-0 win over

reigning champions Chelsea. They

have already won the League Cup and

their next piece of silverware is on

the horizon, just four wins away

from winning the title, and it would

be the earliest time it has ever

been won. Bernardo Silva's strike

was enough to another points at the

Etihad. After back-to-back defeats

to City in a League Cup final and

the league over the past week,

Arsenal have lost again, this time

to Brighton, 2-1. Lewis Dunk and

Glenn Murray with the goals for

Brighton. Its arsenal's fourth

defeat in a row. Because increasing

for manager Arsene to go. Rangers

and Celtic will face each other in

the Scottish cup semifinals after

Rangers beat Falkirk 4-1 at Ibrox.

Jason Cummings scored a hat-trick.

Motherwell beat Hearts and they will

face Aberdeen or Kilmarnock.

England's women are still unbeaten

in the SheBelieves Cup in the

friendly tournament in the USA. They

had friendly pep talk from David

Beckham and the lionesses came from

behind twice. Agony for Millie

Bright when her own goal gave

Germany a 2-1 lead. Ellen White

scored England's first and then

rescued them a second time as it

finished 2-2.

It shows how much we

have grown, the desire, and working

hard to compete against the best

teams in the world and also beat

them. We are disappointed to have

drawn. We have come a long way.

That's all the sport for now, we

will be back with the headlines

later.

In most of our lifetimes we've seen

public attitudes shift on racism,

homophobia and most recently

on sexual harassment.

Another defining issue of our time

is what rights should be afforded

to transgender people

and in particular trans-women.

The Equality Act 2010 means

transgender people can't be

discriminated against -

but public policy hasn't really yet

caught up with how to ensure that

happens when it comes to things

like which toilet or changing rooms

trans-women should use,

which prison they should be sent

to if they commit an offence,

whether they should be allowed

in a woman's only refuges.

The debate can be

heated and polarised.

We've tried to take some

of the heat out of the issue

and have asked Rebecca Root,

a trans actor, to report for us.

We brought you her full film earlier

- here's a short extract before

we have a conversation about this:

I'm Rebecca Root.

I'm an actor and a voice teacher

and I'm also transgender.

Since I transitioned in 2003,

I've seen a big change in the way

that British society now views

and accepts the trans community,

mostly for the better.

But there's an increasing number

of complex issues that

are still needing to find answers.

So how does society

and politicians catch up?

How do they find the solutions

so that everybody's happy?

If you look at the way that

institutions are built in countries,

they're built around that dichotomy,

the binary between men and women.

This is how we've been able

to develop women's health care,

right, or how, when we think

about prisons, we've created women's

prisons and men's prisons

because of an assumption

about the different

needs and challenges

that these two genders face.

Some of the women raising concerns

about these issues say that

although they just want an open

discussion about them,

they are being silenced.

Pilgrim Tucker is one of them.

You say you want a debate,

and there's no possible debate to be

had but you are called trans-phobic

for wanting that debate.

A lot of people are saying

there are very significant

differences between trans-women

and people who are born women.

Both biological and on the basis

of that biology, on the basis

of their different anatomy,

how they're treated in society

and their experience of the world,

that needs a lot of careful thought.

So let's slow down and really talk

about why women might feel cautious

about having trans-women

in their spaces.

Places where they will

feel vulnerable.

I remember when I was transitioning,

in an attempt to lose some weight

and get myself into shape,

I joined a gym.

I know that I felt just

as vulnerable in a female changing

room so far as feeling the scrutiny

of other women's eyes as I sort

of walked in in my swimming costume.

I always used the cubicles.

I can see how passionate you are,

and it seems that you're afraid,

almost, of trans people

or trans-women in...

No, I'm not.

I don't think there's anything I've

said to make you believe

that I'm afraid of trans

people, at all.

What we spoke about, was we spoke

about the prevalence of male

crimes towards women.

Those that campaign

for the transgender community,

such as Paris Lees, argue that self

ID-ing is the next

step in acceptance.

It's not a debate, and I find it

really offensive that

it's framed as a debate.

Hatred and prejudice against trans

people is not up for debate.

There's going to be no such thing

as a woman and anyone will be able

to walk into a toilet and it's

going to be the end of the world,

and it's nonsense.

All we're hearing about is all

of people's imagined fears about how

it's going to be the absolute end

of the world if we make it easier

for you and I to change

our birth certificates.

I think it's clear not only

from the conversations I've had

but also from my own experience

that, although the trans community

has come a long way in its fight

for equality and recognition,

there's still a distance to go.
