The impact of Britain leaving the EU
could leave the country | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
substantially worse off. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
A leaked Government report suggests
UK growth will be slower | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
after leaving the EU -
no matter what deal is done. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:21 | |
But Government says the document
didn't consider the impact | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
of Theresa May's preferred option -
a bespoke trade deal with the EU. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:29 | |

A review
of on-air pay at the BBC | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
finds no gender bias,
but says the corporation's | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
approach to setting pay
is "far from perfect." | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
Police and the CPS apologise
to a student whose rape trial | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
collapsed after mistakes were made
in the disclosure of evidence. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:47 | |
Police believe a series
of violent burglaries, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
where £1 million worth of goods have
been stolen, were carried out | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
by a man with military training. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
Creative subjects such as music,
art and drama are being cut back | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
in many secondary schools
in England, according to research | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
carried out by the BBC. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |

Wales have named their 15 to face
Scotland in their Six Nations opener | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |

Good afternoon and welcome
to the BBC News at One. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
The impact of Britain's departure
from the EU could leave the country | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
substantially worse off,
according to a leaked | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
government document. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
An analysis of three scenarios
was drawn up for the office | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
of the Brexit Secretary,
David Davis. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
In one, the report says if Britain
leaves without a trade deal | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
and is forced to fall back
on World Trade Organisation rules, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
growth will be 8% lower over
the next 15 years than if the UK had | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
remained in the EU. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
But the Government insists
Britain won't be worse off | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
and that its preferred bespoke trade
deal option was not | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
analysed in this document. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Our Political Correspondent
Alex Forsyth reports. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:20 | |
There were some chipper faces as the
Cabinet met this morning. It's a | 0:02:22 | 0:02:27 | |
lovely morning, isn't it? Despite
the fact that they had woken up to a | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
government leak. A government
prepared by officials meant for | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
their eyes only was passed to a news
website. It suggests the economy | 0:02:34 | 0:02:41 | |
could be worse off as a result of
Brexit, growing more slowly in the | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
long-term, whether there is a trade
deal or not. I'm not going to | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
comment this morning. We don't
comment on leaked papers and I feel | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
sure we comment in the House. Plenty
were keen to have their say. Not | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
least those who think Brexit is a
bad idea. It tells you most | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
importantly this is a cost
government modelling and it shows | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
the economy will be worse off. This
economy, people's jobs will be worse | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
off as a result of leaving the
European Union. During the | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
referendum campaign, the remain camp
produced documents predicting Brexit | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
would hit the economy. Leavers said
they were unreliable, pessimistic | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
forecasts and claim this latest
analysis is the same. I don't | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
believe a word of it. The honest
truth is every forecast from the | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
Government to do with Brexit or even
to do with the economy has been | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
wrong as far back as I can remember.
Bear in mind that during the debate | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
on Brexit we were told the economy
would crash and there would be | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
500,000 job losses. The economy has
grown since then. Some argue the | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
public has a right to seek
government advice. In a referendum | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
where many people wanted to take
back control and get their decisions | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
made back in London, that to have a
government that tries to hide things | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
and be secretive and deny things are
happening, you know, it's not good. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
The Government says this is just an
early draft and part of much wider | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
on going analysis will the impact of
Brexit and crucially, it doesn't | 0:04:06 | 0:04:11 | |
model what they want to achieve
which is a bespoke tailor-made deal | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
with the EU unlike anything that's
gone before. Ministers making that | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
case today said it was unhelpful to
publish such information. At this | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
early stage, it only considers
off-the-shelf trade arrangements | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
that currently aexist. We have been
clear that these are not what we are | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
seeking in the negotiations. It does
not yet consider our desired | 0:04:33 | 0:04:39 | |
outcome, the most ambitious
relationship possible with the | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
European Union. But some MPs are
firmly unconvinced. Views here are | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
deeply divided and in the Lords too,
where they are starting to debate | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
Brexit laws, the Government's
handling of this process is still | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
under firm scrutiny. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
Our Economics Editor
Kamal Ahmed is here. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
The Government says it is not the
option it wants. It does look at | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
three specific scenarios. It does,
Jane. It is the forecasts again, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
what are we to believe? Well, the
modelling is about what we know from | 0:05:10 | 0:05:15 | |
all the evidence around the world
about global relations. If there are | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
barriers put up to trade, that is
seen by all the modellers as to | 0:05:19 | 0:05:25 | |
having a negative effect on your
economy. And this government | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
analysis tallies with economic
analysis by the London School of | 0:05:30 | 0:05:35 | |
Economics, the National Institute
for Economic and Social Research, | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
big, serious forecasters, but the
thing to remember with these things | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |
is that forecasts are not what will
definitely happen, it is what is a | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
judgment on what is likely to
happen. And there has been some | 0:05:46 | 0:05:53 | |
economic negative effect of the
referendum slightly slower growth, | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
but it is up to politicians to drive
the economy, Brexit isn't the only | 0:05:56 | 0:06:01 | |
thing going on in the economy. So if
there is better global growth for | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
example, the economy will perform
better. And as Alex said in remember | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
report, no modelling of this new
bespoke arrangement that the | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Government says it wants because
it's unique. Well, it's hard to | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
model what is unique. So, yes, the
forecasts are negative as have many | 0:06:16 | 0:06:22 | |
others been, but it doesn't mean it
will definitely be the outcome of | 0:06:22 | 0:06:27 | |
where the UK economy goes.
All right, Kamal, thank you. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Our Assistant Political Editor
Norman Smith is in Westminster. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:39 | |
Ministers insisting they are not
going to publish this report, but | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
that's worth bearing in mind they
were forced kicking and screaming a | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
few weeks ago to publish other
analysis of Brexit on different | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
parts of the economy. Some
Brexiteers are relaxed about the | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
report being published because it
doesn't really tell us a vast amount | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
new. There have been loads of
economic reports, warning of the | 0:07:01 | 0:07:06 | |
potential woes of Brexit. The real
political hoo-ha over the fact that | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
the report was leaked because it was
only given to those at the top of | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
government and in a sign of tensions
in Tory ranks, some Brexiteers are | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
suggesting it was leaked by those
who want to scupper the chance of a | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
radical break with the EU because it
is suggested in the report that | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
would be the most damaging outcome
and it is implied that perhaps those | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
sympathetic to the Chancellor, who
suggested we only wanted to diverge | 0:07:33 | 0:07:38 | |
modestly from the EU, are perhaps
behind this and the real fear of the | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
Brexiteer is maybe the Prime
Minister is beginning to go a along | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
with the Chancellor's views and
their fear is very end up with what | 0:07:48 | 0:07:54 | |
we call beano, no that's not a
reference to lord snooty and his | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
pals, it refers to Brexit in name
only. In other words we leave the | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
EU, but really, not much changes.
Norman, thank you. Norman Smith at | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |

A review carried out by the auditors
PwC has found no gender bias in pay | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
decisions for on-air staff
at the BBC - though its report said | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
the Corporation's approach
to setting pay in general has been | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
"far from perfect". | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
The BBC has set out a five-point
plan to help create what it | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
says will be a fairer
and more equal organisation. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
The Director-General Lord Hall says
some highly-paid stars | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
will see their pay cut,
while some women and men | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
will be paid more. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:37 | |
Our Media Correspondent
David Sillito has the details. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:45 | |
When Carrie Gracie
resigned as China editor | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
earlier this month,
it was in protest about pay. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
She said a comparable
male editor was being | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
paid more than 50% more than her. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:53 | |
And she's not alone. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Eleanor Bradford was
a health correspondent | 0:08:55 | 0:08:56 | |
in Scotland for 15 years. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
While there were one
or two who'd been in | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
the job longer than me, there
weren't many people who had been | 0:09:03 | 0:09:06 | |
there longer than me,
and also while I was there I saw | 0:09:06 | 0:09:10 | |
male specialists being appointed
on starting salaries | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
that were higher than mine. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
The response? | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
A number of top male stars have
already agreed to take a cut, | 0:09:16 | 0:09:23 | |
and today's independent report has
looked into whether the pay | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
decisions at BBC News
were based on gender. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
The answer to that is no,
but there is a gap. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
So overall a pay gap of 6.8%
between men and women, | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
which is less than it is for the BBC
as a whole, but there are some other | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
findings in this report. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
For instance, at the very top
there are more men, and | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
it says they are paid too much,
they are going to have to have pay | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
cuts, and a number of women
are going to | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
have to have to pay rises. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:49 | |
What I've laid out today is a
package of measures from a framework | 0:09:49 | 0:09:55 | |
by which presenters, whom so ever
they are, can see where they're | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
placed versus their peers. Narrowing
the bands in which they are paid. So | 0:09:59 | 0:10:03 | |
that's clearer too. Lowering some
pay for some men, at the very top, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:13 | |
but looking hard at the pay for
women and men where the pay has been | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
too low. But there are serious
doubts about this report and its | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
findings from the women who have
been campaigning for equal pay. BBC | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
women has had to reject this report
because we were really hoping to be | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
consulted on its scope and on its
methodology. That did not happen and | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
it is hard to reach any other
conclusion other than the conclusion | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
that this report has reached the
conclusion the BBC wanted it to | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
reach.
And also the report doesn't cover | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
the BBC's really big earners in
entertainment. It is just a survey | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
of news and one reason for that is,
news isn't as competitive as it used | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
to be. Pay rates for the sort of
star journalists are way over the | 0:10:53 | 0:10:58 | |
top in my view in today's market and
I think that's clearly being | 0:10:58 | 0:11:04 | |
addressed. The rest of the situation
is much more difficult, it is highly | 0:11:04 | 0:11:10 | |
subjective who has got the same
level of job as somebody else? The | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
BBC says it wants to be a leader in
equality and to reduce the yawning | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
pay divides, but convincing BBC
women that it is truly serious about | 0:11:18 | 0:11:23 | |
pay equality, it's still got work to
do. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
Our Media Editor Amol Rajan is here. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
The point about the PwC report,
given the size of the BBC, it is | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
looking at really quite a small
number of people within it. It is | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
the third report the BBC
commissioned on the issue of gender | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
pay or equal pay, but this report
only looked at 824 presenters, | 0:11:42 | 0:11:47 | |
correspondents and editors within
BBC News. It didn't look at the | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
whole of the BBC and one of the
issues here is when that list of | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
salaries was published last summer,
there is a huge number of names that | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
weren't on there that earn a lot of
money from the BBC because they are | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
paid by independent production
companies. So we have far from a | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
full picture about what top earners
at the BBC are getting. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:10 | |
at the BBC are getting. Tony Hall's
five-point plan, it has conveyed the | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
impression that he is trying to get
a grip on this issue and the BBC's | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
women campaigning group says that
Tony Hall has good intentions and | 0:12:17 | 0:12:25 | |
has taken control of this issue.
There are a lot of grievances from a | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
lot of people who feel that over
years they have accumulated a | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
disadvantage and so when Carrie
Gracie, the former China editor who | 0:12:33 | 0:12:36 | |
cut her post as China editor and
returning back to London quit in | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
protest at equal pay, I think this
storely will flair up again and I | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
suspect far from the report being
the end of the story, it is merely | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
the end of the beginning.
Thank you. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:54 | |
The Metropolitan Police
and the CPS have apologised | 0:12:54 | 0:12:56 | |
to a man accused of rape,
after a review found that mistakes | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
were made in the disclosure
of evidence which resulted | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
in the trial against him collapsing. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
22-year-old Liam Allan had been
accused of rape and sexual assault, | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
but his trial was halted
after police were ordered | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
to hand over phone records. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:10 | |
Danny Shaw is at Scotland Yard
in Central London. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:18 | |
Explain more then what has finally
happened with the police and the | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
CPS, Danny. Well, Liam Allan was
arrested on suspicion of rape in | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
January 2016 and his alleged
victim's mobile phone was seized by | 0:13:27 | 0:13:32 | |
police. It contained 57,000 lines of
data. The officer in charge of the | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
investigation searched through the
data, looking for relevant material, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
but could find none. It was later
found that he hadn't conducted the | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
search properly. He hadn't recorded
how he'd conducted the search and it | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
wasn't until December last year,
that's almost two years, under which | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
Liam Allan had been under
investigation, that relevant, | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
important material was found amongst
those messages that undermined the | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
prosecution's case and led to the
charges against Mr Allan being | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
dropped. We've had an apology for
Liam Allan from the Metropolitan | 0:14:06 | 0:14:12 | |
Police and the Crown Prosecution
Service. Here is commander Richard | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
Smith. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
We accept, the Met, accepts
and the CPS accepts that we failed | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
to identify this error early enough
and we really should have | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
done and that's why I've
apologised to Mr Allan. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:26 | |
That's why we've initiated a review
of the other cases we have that have | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
got past charge and are running
towards trial to ensure | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
that there are no other
errors within those that | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
should be addressed. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:41 | |
That review is looking at 600 cases
in London. They've already | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
identified 500. So, and they found
some cases which are giving | 0:14:46 | 0:14:52 | |
prosecutors cause for concern. As
for the detective in the Liam Allan | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
case, he hasn't been disciplined
because Scotland Yard says there was | 0:14:57 | 0:15:00 | |
no evidence of misconduct on his
party, but he has voluntarily agreed | 0:15:00 | 0:15:05 | |
to move to other duties, he won't be
investigating sexual assault cases. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:10 | |
Danny Shaw, thank you. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:14 | |
Police believe a series of violent
burglaries over the last three years | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
have been carried out by a man
with an Armed Forces background. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Detectives say one man
is suspected of carrying | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
out raids in Berkshire,
Kent, Sussex and Surrey, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
in which valuables worth a million
pounds in total have been stolen. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
Police say the raids have all had
military style planning. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
Frankie McCamley reports. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
Caught on CCTV, the burglar police
believe to have military training | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
or involved in law enforcement. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
Detectives say in each of the seven
raids, he has shown signs | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
of specialist knowledge and skills,
staking out his targets for weeks, | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
studying their movements
and where they keep their valuables, | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
before he makes his vicious move. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:53 | |
He hit me three times on my face. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
It was very very painful,
and I couldn't believe | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
the blows kept coming. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:06 | |
And so I took him to the jewellery,
I gave him the jewellery. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
It was very frightening,
but he actually said to me, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
"Get on the floor." | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
I actually thought he
was going to rape me. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:14 | |
I was very very frightened. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
The intruder has stolen jewellery,
valuables and heirlooms worth | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
in total more than £1 million. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:28 | |
We believe this person
is not an amateur burglar. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
We think that this is somebody
who has specialist skills. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
He uses firearms and
cable ties to do this. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
And he has an immense amount
of planning and prepping before | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
he goes and commits these offences. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:45 | |
Despite the Ministry of Defence
saying it's working with the police | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
on the investigation,
it has asked for more evidence, | 0:16:48 | 0:16:53 | |
stating: | 0:16:53 | 0:17:01 | |
There are trade crafts
that we generally will only see | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
by individuals that have specialist
or former military experience, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:20 | |
which include identifying patterns
of life of the owners of these | 0:17:20 | 0:17:23 | |
properties, looking at the arcs
of the cameras and their locations, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
to even the methods of entry. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
The suspect has targeted affluent
homes in Berkshire, Kent, | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
Surrey and Sussex over a period
of three years. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
Police say the burglar must now be
caught to prevent further harm | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
coming to anybody else. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
Frankie McCamley, BBC News. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
A man accused of murdering one
woman and attempting | 0:17:39 | 0:17:42 | |
to murder another had,
years earlier, offered an undercover | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
police officer the chance to drug
and rape one of his alleged victims, | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
according to evidence heard
in court this morning. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:55 | |
Mujahid Arshid denies killing
Celine Dookhran and trying | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
to kill another woman,
who can't be named | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
for legal reasons. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:02 | |
Jon Donnison is at the Old Bailey. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
A deeply distressing case, Jon. Can
you explain what was heard in court? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:12 | |
Today the prosecution wrapped up
their case against Mr Arshid, which | 0:18:12 | 0:18:16 | |
came in what they call bad character
evidence. As you said, this is an | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
allegation that in 2013 Mr Arshid
was caught up in a police paedophile | 0:18:21 | 0:18:26 | |
staying with an undercover officer
posing as a paedophile on a website | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
which the police say is used for
people with a sexual interest in | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
young people. And allegation is that
Mr Arshid offered to provide a | 0:18:35 | 0:18:40 | |
teenage girl to this undercover
officer so she could be drugged and | 0:18:40 | 0:18:47 | |
raped. He also then sent photos to
this undercover officer of the woman | 0:18:47 | 0:18:54 | |
who now alleges that she was raped
and was attempted to be murdered by | 0:18:54 | 0:19:02 | |
Mr Arshid. I should say Mr Arshid
denies all the charges. He said | 0:19:02 | 0:19:08 | |
someone had managed to access and
hack into the root in his home to | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
carry out this chat with the
undercover officer -- hack into the | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |
router. The prosecution service in
2013 decided there wasn't enough | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
evidence to bring charges. We did
actually get onto the defence case | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
today. Mr Arshid appeared in court
and he said the principal witness | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
against him was a compulsive liar
and manipulator. The trial | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
continues. Jon Donnison, thank you.
It is 90 minutes past one. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:46 | |

The consequences of leaving the EU

The impact of Britain leaving the EU

substantially worse off,
according to a leaked | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
government report. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |

Saying farewell to one
of football's greats - | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |

Creative arts subjects
are being cut back in many | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
secondary schools in England,
according to research | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
carried out by the BBC. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |
Nine out of ten of schools
which responded to a survey said | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
they had reduced classes,
staff or facilities in at least | 0:20:30 | 0:20:33 | |
one of the subjects. | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
The findings, from more than 1200
schools, suggest music, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
art and drama, and design
and technology are | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
all being squeezed. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:46 | |
The increased emphasis on core
academic subjects and funding | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
pressures were the most common
reasons given, as Jo Black reports. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
The creative arts -
they have been part of the weekly | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
timetable for decades,
but for how much longer? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:05 | |
In the last three years,
Head Teacher Jez Bennett | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
from Northamptonshire has had to cut
arts lessons, resources, and staff, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
and is teaching some
of the classes himself. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
I have had to make some decisions
about whether I can afford | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
to run certain classes. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:16 | |
And I know that there
are schools that have cut | 0:21:16 | 0:21:23 | |
GSCEs in art, music,
drama, and photography. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
I just want to have, like,
the chance to express myself. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
If I came to a school
with no art curriculum, | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
I couldn't see myself
enjoying it as much. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
Jobs these day smostly
all rely on your core skills | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
like maths, English,
science, and that is | 0:21:34 | 0:21:35 | |
a lot of pressure. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:36 | |
The BBC approached every state
school in England asking | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
about their arts provision. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:40 | |
40% - that's more than 1200
schools - responded. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
A third said they'd cut the number
of lessons in at least one arts | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
subject in the last few years. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:48 | |
A quarter said they now employ fewer
specialist teachers. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:54 | |
And a third are considering dropping
at least one arts subject at GSCE. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
So why is this happening? | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
Schools say the key reason
is the Government's focus on core | 0:22:00 | 0:22:05 | |
academic subjects such as English,
maths, the sciences, language, | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
history, and geography. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:11 | |
Ministers want to schools
to ensure more pupils sit | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
these subjects at GCSE. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
School leaders say pressure
on funding is also a major factor. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
Then you will bring
the chain foto her yourself? | 0:22:18 | 0:22:20 | |
No, bear it with you,
less I come not in time. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
This Shakespeare festival gives
pupils all over the country | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
the chance to perform
on a professional stage. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
But increasingly schools have been
dropping out because they can't | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
afford it or they don't have enough
staff to take part. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:37 | |
Being a creative member of society
means that you are more confident | 0:22:42 | 0:22:47 | |
and communicate better and you work
better with people of very different | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
backgrounds to yourself. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
Those are things that
are absolutely crucial structures | 0:22:54 | 0:22:56 | |
in a society facing the kind
of difficulties and problems | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
that we face. | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
The Government says schools
are required to provide a broad | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
and balanced curriculum which Ofsted
consider in their inspections. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
It also says it is investing
£400 million in music and arts | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
education programmes. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
But for most schools in our survey,
cuts to the arts are not over | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
yet, with more expected
in the coming years. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
Jo Black, BBC News. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:23 | |
On the eve of annual State
of the Union address, | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
the man who briefs President Trump
on security - the head of the CIA - | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
has warned that China presents
as large a security threat | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
to the United States as Russia. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
In an exclusive interview
with our security correspondent | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
Gordon Corera, Mike Pompeo also said
that Iran should stop interfering | 0:23:36 | 0:23:38 | |
in regional conflicts. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
At CIA headquarters
Director Mike Pompeo has a long list | 0:23:42 | 0:23:44 | |
of intelligence targets. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:52 | |
We can watch very focused efforts
to steal American information, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
to infiltrate the United States
with spies, with people | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
who are going to work
on behalf of the Chinese | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
government against America. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:12 | |
We see it in our schools,
we see it in our hospitals | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
and medical systems,
we see it throughout | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
corporate America. | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
It's also true in other
parts of the world. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
Including Europe and the UK? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
Including Europe and
the UK, of course. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:22 | |
Another priority, says the CIA
director, is confronting Iran | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
in the Middle East and beyond. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
Are you worried about the level
of Iranian influence | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
in Syria and the region? | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
Yes. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:30 | |
And are there ways in which you feel
you can counter that? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Yes. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:41 | |
You're not worried that particularly
the tension between Iran | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
and Saudi Arabia could lead to some
kind of conflict? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
I'm very worried about it. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:47 | |
We need to make sure that
that doesn't happen, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
and the way to do that is to ensure
that the Iranian people understand | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
that this can't be good for them. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
We saw the protests
these past weeks. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
The Iranian people understand
that these adventures, | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
which cost the Iranian people tens
of millions of dollars and present | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
risk to their lives,
to fight in Yemen, make no sense. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
That the history of Iran is deep. | 0:25:03 | 0:25:11 | |
The Persian people have a deep
understanding of how to be | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
successful in the world. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
I hope that they will rise up
and understand that it's not | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
in the best interests
of their country to send forces | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
to places like Europe as proxies
to try and conduct malign activity | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
in Europe, when there is so much
that can be done to make | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
Iran a better place. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
We're confident that the Iranian
people understand that. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:42 | |
We are hopeful there leaders will
accept their proposition as well. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:50 | |
As he enters his second year as CIA
Director Mike Pompeo knows | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
that the challenges,
including in Washington itself, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
are unlikely to diminish. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |

Well, as the Prime Minister flies
to China, a major Chinese employer | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
in the UK has warned Theresa May

signal" about the kind

about its departure from the EU. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |

Yuan Yafei has 17,000 staff
on his books in the UK, | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
and a major interest in Britain's
feature - including | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
of course, Brexit. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
Is your business in the UK
going to be better outside | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
of the European Union? | 0:27:10 | 0:27:11 | |
Worse? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:12 | |

The funeral has taken place
of the former England | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
and West Bromwich footballer
Cyrille Regis. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:19 | |
The striker, who died earlier this
month at the age of 59, | 0:28:19 | 0:28:22 | |
was widely credited with inspiring
a generation of black | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
players into the game. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
Nearly 2000 people attended an event
at The Hawthorns stadium | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
to celebrate his life,
as our sports correspondent | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
Andy Swiss reports. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:32 | |
It was the fondest of farewells, add
the ground Cyrille Regis graced as a | 0:28:32 | 0:28:37 | |
player they gathered in emotional
tribute. A private family funeral to | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
be followed by a public celebration
of his life, a chance to say goodbye | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
to a footballing hero. He saw no
difference in anybody and all he | 0:28:45 | 0:28:52 | |
wanted to do was play football and
as a young black man he led the way. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:58 | |
He was a remarkable footballer and a
man and I love them, I just love | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
them. View footballers have inspired
such words... | 0:29:01 | 0:29:07 | |
COMMENTATOR: What a great shot! His
dignity, determination and dazzling | 0:29:07 | 0:29:15 | |
goalgoals, he blazed a trail for
professional black footballers. For | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
the thousands of friends and family
gathering here, this is a chance to | 0:29:19 | 0:29:27 | |
celebrate a remarkable life, player
but also a pioneer, a man who helped | 0:29:27 | 0:29:30 | |
to change football.
Among the music and tributes, one of | 0:29:30 | 0:29:37 | |
his former team-mates spoke of his
strength and spirit. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
We played at a time when black
players had to endure much vile | 0:29:40 | 0:29:45 | |
racist abuse, yet Cyrille never lost
his cool, nor was he ever | 0:29:45 | 0:29:50 | |
intimidated. He always said it
motivated him to play even better. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:56 | |
He left us with great memories, and
for that we are blessed to have | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
known him. Nice one, | 0:29:59 | 0:30:11 | |
known him. Nice one, Cyrille, nice
one, son. His daughter then paid her | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
own special tribute. A legend, a
gentleman, the Three Degrees, Big C, | 0:30:14 | 0:30:23 | |
the many different names you had,
but I couldn't be more proud to just | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
call you my dad. One day it, too,
will leave this place and returning | 0:30:27 | 0:30:32 | |
to my father's open arms, and
forever remain in his loving | 0:30:32 | 0:30:37 | |
embrace. A day event to remember a
man who touched so many lives. A | 0:30:37 | 0:30:44 | |
fitting tribute to a footballing
giants. Andy Swiss, BBC News, the | 0:30:44 | 0:30:51 | |
Hawthorns.
STUDIO: Remembering the remarkable | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
Cyrille Regis. Let's turn our
attentions to the day's weather | 0:30:54 | 0:30:59 | |
prospects with Ben. Thank you, Jane.
A chilly | 0:30:59 | 0:31:04 | |
start for many of us. Some in | 0:31:04 | 0:31:06 | |
the South started 15 degrees lower
than yesterday morning. As so often | 0:31:06 | 0:31:13 | |
with our weather, it is all | 0:31:13 | 0:31:14 | |
than yesterday morning. As so often
with our weather, it is all | 0:31:14 | 0:31:14 | |
relative. I think we would call the
era across the British Isles at the | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
moment cool rather than anything
properly cold. The properly cold air | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
is on its way behind this front
moving southwards and eastward | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
tonight and tomorrow, then we get
into a much colder feel with some | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
strong winds as well. The first sign
of the change already beginning out | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
west. Thickening cloud for our
Weather Watcher in County | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
Londonderry. That is ahead of two
weather systems, one bringing patchy | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
rain and a more significant one
bringing heavy rain already across | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
the West of Scotland. Strong winds
and gales are likely here. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
Elsewhere, not a bad end to the
afternoon, temperatures about 5-9d. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:56 | |
Then this weather system | 0:31:56 | 0:32:02 | |
will scrape along southern parts of
England and South Wales with clouds | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
and patchy rain, but our cold front
coming south will be more | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
significant. Some heavy bursts of
rain, strong and gusty winds, then | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
behind it we get into the cold air.
Aberdeen is just 1 degrees, while | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
Plymouth is eight, and as you can
see Pearson wintry showers starting | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
to push on. Quite a few across
Scotland, -- some wintry showers | 0:32:19 | 0:32:27 | |
starting to push in. A very similar
story for Northern Ireland and the | 0:32:27 | 0:32:31 | |
far north of England but notice the
further south we come across Finland | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
and Wales, the higher the
temperature is to start the day. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:40 | |
Another mild morning -- across
England and Wales. Patchy rain and | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
fairly gusty winds as well. The rain
in the South is what is left of our | 0:32:43 | 0:32:49 | |
cold front, clearing away to the
south during tomorrow morning. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
Behind it the skies will brighten
and there will be plenty of sunshine | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
but we are into that cold here,
particularly with the strength of | 0:32:55 | 0:32:59 | |
the wind, gales and places. Still
some one tree showers to come across | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
the North and afternoon temperatures
of just 3-7 degrees. Thursday should | 0:33:03 | 0:33:09 | |
have fewer showers, some of the
north-east and perhaps one or two | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
out West, but a lot of dry weather
with some sunshine, still quite | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
windy particularly close to the east
coast, could be some big waves | 0:33:16 | 0:33:20 | |
crashing onto the shore line with
the gales. Friday, lighter winds so | 0:33:20 | 0:33:24 | |
perhaps a less chilly fuel and into
the weekend it looks like we will | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
bring in cloud and rain from the
West. Back to | 0:33:28 | 0:33:35 |
