0:01:33 > 0:01:36Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39The Prime Minister says Britain and China are enjoying a golden era
0:01:39 > 0:01:42in their relationship, after meeting the country's
0:01:42 > 0:01:44President Xi Jinping in Beijing.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47On the second day of her trip to try to boost trade
0:01:47 > 0:01:49between the two countries, Theresa May said she hoped her visit
0:01:49 > 0:01:51would strengthen the "global strategic partnership"
0:01:51 > 0:01:52between the UK and China.
0:01:52 > 0:02:00Robin Brant reports from China.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08There is some flash photography in this report, from Shanghai.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Day two of her trip, it was time to see the sights.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13With her husband, Philip, at her side, the Prime Minister
0:02:13 > 0:02:16toured the Forbidden City but there was no stopping talk
0:02:16 > 0:02:17of Brexit following her.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19In Beijing, with one eye on Brussels, the Prime Minister
0:02:19 > 0:02:22signalled she will fight proposals to give UK residency rights
0:02:22 > 0:02:25to EU citizens who come during the post-Brexit transitionary
0:02:25 > 0:02:29period.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33There's a pushback aimed at critics on her own side.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36A Tory MP has accused Mrs May of governing like a tortoise
0:02:36 > 0:02:40when what is needed is a lion.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43A Cabinet minister with her on her trip says the doubters need to see
0:02:43 > 0:02:47things more like her hosts do.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51They are looking at performance, they are looking to see what the UK
0:02:51 > 0:02:53is doing and they look at the Prime Minister in a different
0:02:53 > 0:03:01way than some of the internal tearoom discussions in the UK do.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04The problem for Dr Fox is that sometimes the discussions
0:03:04 > 0:03:07in the tearooms of Westminster are similar to what is being
0:03:07 > 0:03:09talked by the leaders in the teahouses of China.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12In both cases they see a Prime Minister on the road beating
0:03:12 > 0:03:15the drum for trade but they also see a leader weakened by that general
0:03:15 > 0:03:17election result with a cloud of uncertainty from Brexit
0:03:17 > 0:03:23hanging over her.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Sowing the seeds for the UK-China relationship after Brexit is part
0:03:26 > 0:03:27of the focus of this trip.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30That includes science collaboration as China tries to rely
0:03:30 > 0:03:33less on importing food.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Then there is Britain's cultural export.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39We know that Dr Who and Downton Abbey are great
0:03:39 > 0:03:41successes here in China.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44I've just been meeting the company responsible for something that
0:03:44 > 0:03:49I have to confess I haven't seen.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I have seen Downton Abbey and Dr Who.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I have not watched Octonauts.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57It is a UK children's cartoon which is apparently being enjoyed
0:03:57 > 0:04:03by millions of children here in China.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Away from entertainment and back to business,
0:04:05 > 0:04:10this was the most important meeting of the day with China's President.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13The Prime Minister wants to deepen what she called the global
0:04:13 > 0:04:16strategic partnership.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18It was almost certainly one conversation over tea that didn't
0:04:18 > 0:04:21touch on her leadership problems.
0:04:21 > 0:04:29We drink Lapsang.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Robin Brant, BBC News, Shanghai.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Speaking while in China, Theresa May has signalled
0:04:36 > 0:04:39that she will fight a demand by the European Union that EU
0:04:39 > 0:04:41citizens who move to the UK during the transition period,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43after March 2019, will be given full residency rights.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46The Prime Minister said that in the EU referendum people had not
0:04:46 > 0:04:47voted for "nothing to change".
0:04:47 > 0:04:54Our political correspondent Iain Watson reports.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Oh, smite -- all smiles, in December the EU gave the green light for
0:05:02 > 0:05:08talks and trade and transition period of about two years after
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Brexit, but now there's a snag. The government thought it was agreed
0:05:10 > 0:05:16that full EU citizens' rights to work here would end after Brexit in
0:05:16 > 0:05:20March 20 19. Now the EU says those rights should be extended until the
0:05:20 > 0:05:25end of any transition. In their view, December 20 20. To many
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Brexiteers, that's unacceptable. This is an issue that we can't come
0:05:29 > 0:05:35from eyes on. We do need to make it absolutely sure that any EU citizens
0:05:35 > 0:05:37who come here during the transitional period will not begin
0:05:37 > 0:05:43in the permanent right to reside in this country. We'll have left the
0:05:43 > 0:05:46European Union and they can't expect the same provisions to prevail after
0:05:46 > 0:05:52we've gone.And the pressure from those pro-Brexit backbenchers,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Theresa May told reporters on her trip to China that innocence Brexit
0:05:55 > 0:05:59means Brexit. People coming to Britain after March 20 19th in the
0:05:59 > 0:06:04full knowledge that we've left the EU should be treated differently. A
0:06:04 > 0:06:09point repeated by her ministers in the Commons.The citizens' rights
0:06:09 > 0:06:13agreement reached in December does give certainty about the rights of
0:06:13 > 0:06:17EU citizens already here going forward but this agreement does not
0:06:17 > 0:06:22cover those arriving after we leave the EU.So what would this mean in
0:06:22 > 0:06:26practice? Well, the only change that EU citizens would see if they come
0:06:26 > 0:06:30here during a transition period is they'd have to register. But if they
0:06:30 > 0:06:34wanted to stay on beyond that transition period, the government
0:06:34 > 0:06:38says new rules could be applied depending on the negotiations that
0:06:38 > 0:06:43might mean the need for a work permit or Visa. Government sources
0:06:43 > 0:06:47say EU citizens wouldn't be thrown out, but pro-EU campaigners are more
0:06:47 > 0:06:53worried that they might not come in the first place.A message to EU
0:06:53 > 0:06:56migrants is absolutely unequivocal. If you want to come here you will
0:06:56 > 0:06:59have less rights than the people you are working alongside, less rights
0:06:59 > 0:07:02than the people you are living alongside, and that you will have no
0:07:02 > 0:07:07security in this country. Speculation about Theresa May's
0:07:07 > 0:07:11future continues at Westminster and she's been offered apparently
0:07:11 > 0:07:13helpful advice by the man she sacked as Chancellor and who campaigned
0:07:13 > 0:07:17against leaving the EU.The Conservative Party, which I have
0:07:17 > 0:07:21worked very hard over my lifetime to put back in a position where it
0:07:21 > 0:07:27could be the government, must offer to the country a big plan for the
0:07:27 > 0:07:31future, big ideas, big vision, a plan to engage with the rest of the
0:07:31 > 0:07:34world like China, or indeed a form of Frexit which is not as economic
0:07:34 > 0:07:39as damaging as some of the forms being produced -- waveform of
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Brexit. I would humbly suggest that's what's required.It's
0:07:43 > 0:07:46increasingly apparent the Prime Minister doesn't simply have to
0:07:46 > 0:07:49negotiate with the EU, but with members of her own party as well.
0:07:49 > 0:07:55Iain Watson, BBC News, Westminster.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57In a moment we'll get the picture from Adam Fleming in Brussels,
0:07:57 > 0:07:59but first our assistant political editor Norman Smith
0:07:59 > 0:08:02is in Westminster.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07What reaction to what Theresa May was saying?By and large Mrs May's
0:08:07 > 0:08:10critics have been pretty pleased because it suggests that the next
0:08:10 > 0:08:14round of transition talks are going to be a bit of a rough house. I
0:08:14 > 0:08:18think many people thought there were going to be a walk in the park. Now
0:08:18 > 0:08:22it looks like there will be some serious rows, and for Mrs May it
0:08:22 > 0:08:26enables her to turn to her critics say, look, I'm not a pushover, I'm
0:08:26 > 0:08:29not going to be rolled over, I'm going to stand my ground, we're not
0:08:29 > 0:08:32going to be a vassal state. So she makes a stand over freedom of
0:08:32 > 0:08:36movement. She's also reassured her critics this transition period is
0:08:36 > 0:08:40only going to be around two years. This morning David Davis has said
0:08:40 > 0:08:48there is also going to be a bust up over our right to negotiate our own
0:08:48 > 0:08:50trade agreements during this transition period. All of which has
0:08:50 > 0:08:54been welcomed by her critics, evidence that Team made are flexing
0:08:54 > 0:08:58their muscles. The difficulty of this misleads may have to backpedal,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02if she has to compromise and that's been the story of the Brexit
0:09:02 > 0:09:07negotiations so far. You will give a bit and then we'll give a bit. But
0:09:07 > 0:09:11at the end of the day if we end up with some sort of bunch over the
0:09:11 > 0:09:14issue of freedom of movement, with maybe new EU rivals having to
0:09:14 > 0:09:19register, but may still enjoying residency rights, then the backlash
0:09:19 > 0:09:23from Mrs May's critics is likely to be all the more ferocious. It seems
0:09:23 > 0:09:30to me she's won herself some applause, some temporary breathing
0:09:30 > 0:09:33space, but if she backs down on her position could be even more
0:09:33 > 0:09:40precarious.Norman, thank you. Adam Fleming in Brussels, what awaits her
0:09:40 > 0:09:46there, given everything at Norman was just saying?Well, I Harrald
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Verhofstadt, the member of the European Parliament who coordinates
0:09:48 > 0:09:53the parliament's Brexit work is off work sick today but he tweeted from
0:09:53 > 0:09:59his sick bed saying these rights are absolutely non-negotiable -- Guy
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Verhofstadt. He says the EU will not accept a situation where European
0:10:03 > 0:10:08citizens who moved to the UK before Brexit day have one set of rights,
0:10:08 > 0:10:13but EU citizens who moved to the UK after Brexit date have a different
0:10:13 > 0:10:16set of rights during the transition period. That's what he feels about
0:10:16 > 0:10:20it when he's under the weather, not very happy. As for the European
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Commission, which runs the Brexit talks, their vice president said he
0:10:23 > 0:10:27didn't want to comment on comments made by the British Prime Minister
0:10:27 > 0:10:30while she was on the other side of the world. He said he would rather
0:10:30 > 0:10:34wait to see the official British position put forward in the
0:10:34 > 0:10:37negotiations. By complete coincidence the campaign groups that
0:10:37 > 0:10:43represent the citizens affected, EU nationals in the UK, British people
0:10:43 > 0:10:49in the EU, they are in Brussels for an event and they are dismayed about
0:10:49 > 0:10:54all of this. We'll only know for sure what happens when the talks get
0:10:54 > 0:10:56under way about the transition period and there are no dates for
0:10:56 > 0:11:01them in the diary as yet.Adam Fleming in Brussels and Norman Smith
0:11:01 > 0:11:03in Westminster, thank you.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07The average age of people who have a stroke for the first time
0:11:07 > 0:11:09in England has fallen in the past decade.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Figures from Public Health England show that while the majority
0:11:11 > 0:11:14of strokes occur in people over the age of 70, more than a third
0:11:14 > 0:11:17of first time strokes hit adults between 40 and 69.
0:11:17 > 0:11:22Here's our health correspondent, Catherine Burns.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23I had a stroke.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29I had a stroke.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34I had a stroke.I had a stroke.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Adrian Jones was just 53 when he happened to him.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40He says his stroke has changed his life, that he used to walk 50 miles
0:11:40 > 0:11:42a week, now he struggles over short distances.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I didn't feel too great straightaway and when I twisted and
0:11:44 > 0:11:49tried to stand up I immediately fell over and I couldn't feel, I had no
0:11:49 > 0:11:51sensation on my left side at all.
0:11:51 > 0:11:57So, I didn't know what had happened, obviously panicking.
0:11:57 > 0:12:05The older you are the greater your chance of
0:12:06 > 0:12:09having a stroke, but the average age for men having a stroke has
0:12:09 > 0:12:11fallen from 71 to 68.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13For women, it's gone from 75 to 73.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Figures from Public Health England show almost
0:12:14 > 0:12:1660% of first-time stroke patients were 70 or over.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19But there's been an increase in middle-aged people
0:12:19 > 0:12:21being affected.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24In 2007, about 15% of people having a first stroke were
0:12:24 > 0:12:27aged between 40 and 59.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31By 2016, it had gone up to 20%.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I think the first thing is awareness that stroke can happen.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Awareness how awful stroke can be, and therefore it really is worth
0:12:40 > 0:12:45making an effort right from the beginning of your life,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47or as soon as you become an adult, to be
0:12:47 > 0:12:50thinking about the longer term, not to think that stroke is just a
0:12:50 > 0:12:52disease for older people.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55If someone is having a stroke it's vital to get
0:12:55 > 0:12:56help quickly.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58So a campaign's been launched to help people recognise
0:12:58 > 0:13:00the symptoms.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04If people can get a hospital quickly, get the
0:13:04 > 0:13:05life-saving treatment that they need within
0:13:05 > 0:13:13three hours, it means that
0:13:13 > 0:13:16not only is their life going to be saved but also they're likely to
0:13:16 > 0:13:19live a life with reduced disability and burden associated with stroke,
0:13:19 > 0:13:20so please do act fast.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Face - has it fallen on one side?
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Arms, can they raise them?
0:13:23 > 0:13:27Speech, is it slurred?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30It's worth saying too, 40 to 74-year-olds in England are
0:13:30 > 0:13:33eligible for health checks to help spot the early signs of various
0:13:33 > 0:13:35conditions including strokes.
0:13:35 > 0:13:43Catherine Burns, BBC News.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Lifetime doping bans given to 28 Russian Olympic athletes have been
0:13:47 > 0:13:49overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52The court said the evidence provided by the International Olympic
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Committee wasn't sufficient to punish the athletes -
0:13:53 > 0:13:57and their results from the 2014 Sochi Games will now be reinstated.
0:13:57 > 0:14:04Our sports correspondent Alex Capstick is here.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10How has this come about? What is the court's ruling?This stretches back
0:14:10 > 0:14:15to the Winter games in Sochi, where Russia was accused of enacting a
0:14:15 > 0:14:21convex system which protected drug cheat. An IOC investigation found
0:14:21 > 0:14:25more than 40 Russian athletes had benefited from the system and handed
0:14:25 > 0:14:28them lifetime bans. All but one appeal to the Court of Arbitration
0:14:28 > 0:14:32for Sport and they were held in Geneva last week. What will be a
0:14:32 > 0:14:36shock to anti-doping campaigners, the Court of Arbitration for Sport
0:14:36 > 0:14:40said there wasn't enough evidence to prove that 28 of these athletes had
0:14:40 > 0:14:44in fact cheated at those Games so they are now free to compete.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48They've been cleared completely. A others have been found to have
0:14:48 > 0:14:52committed doping violations but whilst their lifetime bans have been
0:14:52 > 0:14:57reduced most won't be allowed to compete in Pyeongchang -- 11 others
0:14:57 > 0:15:02have been found. What happens to the 28? It is unclear. The IOC have said
0:15:02 > 0:15:05they are very disappointed by the decision but they say it doesn't
0:15:05 > 0:15:09mean these athletes are innocent or that they will be invited to South
0:15:09 > 0:15:15Korea to compete as part of the neutral team, 169 athletes have been
0:15:15 > 0:15:18invited from Russia. As for Russia, as you would expect, they've
0:15:18 > 0:15:21welcomed the decision. One leading official from the Kremlin has said
0:15:21 > 0:15:34it's a victory for justice, but with just
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Our top story this lunchtime.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39over a week to go before the start of the Games it's fair to say it's
0:15:39 > 0:15:42all a bit of a mess.Alex Capstick, thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:42Alex Capstick, thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Theresa May says Britain and China are enjoying a golden era
0:15:44 > 0:15:45in their relationship.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46And still to come -
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Why Facebook's profits are up despite users spending less time
0:15:49 > 0:15:51on the social network.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Coming up in sport - Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho
0:15:54 > 0:15:56slams his side's "ridiculous" start, conceding just 11 seconds
0:15:56 > 0:16:04into their 2-0 defeat to Spurs in the Premier League last night.
0:16:20 > 0:16:28I do apologise - we will get there eventually. I do hope the story is
0:16:28 > 0:16:30worth waiting for!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32The economic gap between the north and south of England
0:16:32 > 0:16:34will continue to grow, unless the government prioritises
0:16:34 > 0:16:36education and skills - that's the warning from
0:16:36 > 0:16:39the Northern Powerhouse Partnership, a body set up to try
0:16:39 > 0:16:40to re-balance the UK economy.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It says pupils in the north are on average one GCSE grade
0:16:43 > 0:16:45behind those in the south and that the region
0:16:45 > 0:16:47is being held back by a lack of investment in education.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52Nina Warhurst reports.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55If your child is born in the north-east their chances of going to
0:16:55 > 0:16:58an underperforming school are three times higher than if they were born
0:16:58 > 0:16:59in London.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Today's report asks for £300 million of new money for the
0:17:03 > 0:17:06north for early years and asks every northern business to play its part
0:17:06 > 0:17:14by mentoring the young.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16We've got to put education at the heart of the
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Northern Powerhouse and this is a call to
0:17:18 > 0:17:20arms to say it doesn't have
0:17:20 > 0:17:22to be the case that schools in the north
0:17:22 > 0:17:23underperform schools in the
0:17:23 > 0:17:26south, so we've got a big plan working across the parties with
0:17:26 > 0:17:28businesses to bring reform, investment and business involvement
0:17:28 > 0:17:33into our schools.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36How are you finding the communications time on a Wednesday?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38George Osborne wants businesses to follow Barclays' lead.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40They have more than 500 apprentices across the north.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42They say they want northern talent to stay here.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I think it was an opportunity that I was quite surprised to find that I
0:17:45 > 0:17:47didn't have to move away for.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Because I think my kind of preconception was, you would
0:17:49 > 0:17:52probably have to move to have a really good career.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54But now, you know, my view's completely changed
0:17:54 > 0:17:57on that now that I've found the degree programme because you can
0:17:57 > 0:17:58do it from anywhere.
0:17:58 > 0:18:04The authors of the report focused on northern employers
0:18:04 > 0:18:06who consistently pointed to poor skills and inadequate training.
0:18:06 > 0:18:11They also said they worry about the brain
0:18:11 > 0:18:14drain of northern talent disappearing south, and all of that
0:18:14 > 0:18:16feeds into a gap in productivity that's getting wider.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20The Government says it is stepping up after being
0:18:20 > 0:18:23accused of neglecting the north from the day George Osborne
0:18:23 > 0:18:25left Downing Street.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28One of the real unsung bits about our Northern Powerhouse is
0:18:28 > 0:18:36the £70 million we've put into our Northern
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Powerhouse school strategy, which
0:18:38 > 0:18:40goes all the way from early years provision
0:18:40 > 0:18:41and making sure that's as
0:18:41 > 0:18:44good as it can be to the maths and English hubs
0:18:44 > 0:18:45that we have set up.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47We're going to do some more division.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49It's a complicated equation, more government money plus
0:18:49 > 0:18:51more business investment could equal 850,000 new jobs
0:18:51 > 0:18:52in the north by 2050.

0:19:05 > 0:19:10Tom Evans from Liverpool, wants to take his son Alfie
0:19:10 > 0:19:12abroad for treatment - but doctors say continuing
0:19:12 > 0:19:14life-support treatment is not in the child's best interests.
0:19:14 > 0:19:22Judith Moritz is at the court in Liverpool.
0:19:22 > 0:19:30She can explain a bit more about this.It is a terribly sad
0:19:30 > 0:19:34situation, the court have said today, the judge and barristers and
0:19:34 > 0:19:39everyone here, is agreed over how difficult this is. The situation is
0:19:39 > 0:19:43that Alfie Evans, whose father has just left court for the lunch break,
0:19:43 > 0:19:48has been suffering from a brain condition since he was born in May
0:19:48 > 0:19:562016. Alder Hey Hospital say that they believe that now the life
0:19:56 > 0:19:59support, mechanical breathing, should be withdrawn and have made an
0:19:59 > 0:20:04application for him to be taken to a hospice. But Alfie Potter my parents
0:20:04 > 0:20:09Kate and Tom fundamentally disagree. They want instead for Alfie to be
0:20:09 > 0:20:14taken to Rome to a hospital there they've been in touch with and they
0:20:14 > 0:20:17believe the hospital can give a different kind of care that's what
0:20:17 > 0:20:22they want to happen. It's all ended up in court, it's down to a judge to
0:20:22 > 0:20:27decide. They have been moments of high emotion today because Tom
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Evans, who is just 21, Alfie's father, has been representing
0:20:31 > 0:20:36himself and he broke down in tears as he heard the hospital's barrister
0:20:36 > 0:20:39described his son as a normal lovely looking boy. The court adjourned for
0:20:39 > 0:20:44a short time because of the high emotion and when everyone came back
0:20:44 > 0:20:48the judge, Mr Justice Hayden, said to Mr Evans that he knew how
0:20:48 > 0:20:53difficult this must be and that he had noticed, in fact, people in
0:20:53 > 0:20:57court wearing T-shirts that say Alfie's army on them, there to
0:20:57 > 0:21:01support Alfie and the judge said we are all in Alfie's army and all want
0:21:01 > 0:21:04the best ultimately for Alfie but it will be up to the judge to decide
0:21:04 > 0:21:08what happens.Thank you, Judith Moritz.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Facebook has reported a big jump in profits despite users spending
0:21:11 > 0:21:12significantly less time on the site.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14It comes after the social network announced changes designed
0:21:14 > 0:21:17to prioritise posts from friends, at the expense of content
0:21:17 > 0:21:19from businesses and media companies.
0:21:19 > 0:21:26Our business correspondent Theo Leggett is with me.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Fiola, you'd better explain what the changes are and why there has been
0:21:29 > 0:21:33all of this change on Facebook.When you log onto Facebook what you see
0:21:33 > 0:21:37is chosen for you by Facebook's computers based on what the company
0:21:37 > 0:21:40thinks you will find most interesting. The change is designed
0:21:40 > 0:21:45to encourage more interactions with your friends and family, so, for
0:21:45 > 0:21:49example, a photo of their cats, or a selfie, or whatever, and so you will
0:21:49 > 0:21:53see more of that kind of stuff and less material published by news
0:21:53 > 0:21:58organisations and so on, so less news and fewer videos. The idea,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Facebook says, is to encourage more meaningful social interaction
0:22:01 > 0:22:05because that's what it says makes people happier, and encourage less
0:22:05 > 0:22:08of the sort of sensational polarising news stuff we all see on
0:22:08 > 0:22:14our feeds every day.So, people spending less time on it as a result
0:22:14 > 0:22:18and get profits are still up, how does that work?Facebook has 1.4
0:22:18 > 0:22:21billion users and they spend on average 40 minutes a day on the site
0:22:21 > 0:22:25so if they spend a couple of minutes lest it is not a huge problem. At
0:22:25 > 0:22:28the same time what Facebook is doing is trying to make sure people see
0:22:28 > 0:22:33the adverts that are relevant to them. If you have 1.4 billion users
0:22:33 > 0:22:41and just broadcast an advert it's not
0:22:41 > 0:22:44not going to necessarily get to the people who want to see it. So it is
0:22:44 > 0:22:47targeting more. For example, if you look for a hotel in a particular
0:22:47 > 0:22:50city on a website and don't book you might find an advert for hotels in
0:22:50 > 0:22:52that area appearing on your feet, targeting adverts, you're more
0:22:52 > 0:22:55likely to respond to it, advertisers pay a premium to have the most
0:22:55 > 0:22:57receptive people see their adverts and therefore it will make more
0:22:57 > 0:23:02money.Leggett, thank you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07The Chief Inspector of Schools in England has warned that religious
0:23:07 > 0:23:09extremists are using schools to narrow children's horizons
0:23:09 > 0:23:10and pervert their education.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Speaking at a school in east London, Amanda Spielman called on head
0:23:13 > 0:23:15teachers to tackle people who undermine fundamental British
0:23:15 > 0:23:17values - critics say the educational authorities need to engage more
0:23:17 > 0:23:18with Muslim communities.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23Frankie McCamley reports.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27How finally got through it?Since being appointed a year ago the head
0:23:27 > 0:23:32of Ofsted Amanda Spielman has made tackling extremism in school is one
0:23:32 > 0:23:36of her main objectives and today she used her speech at the Church of
0:23:36 > 0:23:38England conference to directly address that issue.One of those
0:23:38 > 0:23:43British values is tolerance and respect for all faiths and none and
0:23:43 > 0:23:49we are looking... One of the things we have to look for is signs that
0:23:49 > 0:23:55that value is breaking down and by being tolerant you can end up
0:23:55 > 0:23:57importing intolerance and we have to make sure that we help schools find
0:23:57 > 0:24:02that balance and that we report where we find that balance is at
0:24:02 > 0:24:06risk.The Ofsted chief also through her weight behind the headteacher of
0:24:06 > 0:24:09this east London School, which is one of the top performing schools in
0:24:09 > 0:24:14the country. She tried to ban girls under the age of eight from wearing
0:24:14 > 0:24:18the hijab to school and stop youngsters from fasting during
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Ramadan. However, following a big campaign from parents and community
0:24:22 > 0:24:26leaders, her roles were reversed. But some don't believe schools
0:24:26 > 0:24:34should be setting rules like this. There is pressure for young girls
0:24:34 > 0:24:40and it is for women alone to decide what that is and to save this is
0:24:40 > 0:24:44what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.The government believes
0:24:44 > 0:24:48it up to individual schools to set their own clothing policy and
0:24:48 > 0:24:52states, if there are any allegations of schools promoting ideologies in
0:24:52 > 0:25:00the classroom, we will not hesitate to act. This is clearly an issue
0:25:00 > 0:25:03which many schools across the country will be considering in order
0:25:03 > 0:25:08to strike the right balance. Frankie McCamley, BBC News.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10West Ham have suspended their director of player
0:25:10 > 0:25:11recruitment Tony Henry, following claims that he said
0:25:11 > 0:25:13the club wouldn't sign any more African players.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16In a statement, the club said they won't tolerate any
0:25:16 > 0:25:22type of discrimination.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26Let's find out more from our sports news correspondent, Richard Conway.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30What is the alleged or appeared to have said?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33The Daily Mail obtained an e-mail sent from Tony Henry to a senior
0:25:33 > 0:25:37West Ham official and an agent and in the e-mail it is alleged Tony
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Henry said they didn't want to sign any more African players. When
0:25:41 > 0:25:43confronted about this Tony Henry admitted that that was indeed the
0:25:43 > 0:25:46case, they wanted to limit the number of African players because
0:25:46 > 0:25:50"They have a bad attitude and cause mayhem when they are not in the
0:25:50 > 0:25:56team." Tony Henry, it is claimed, also suggested it was club policy
0:25:56 > 0:26:00supported by senior management, but West Ham have said they do not
0:26:00 > 0:26:03tolerate any kind of discrimination, they have suspended him today, and
0:26:03 > 0:26:08save they have acted swiftly due to the serious nature of the claims.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12The FA themselves are investigating, we understand the PFA, the players
0:26:12 > 0:26:15union, say they are shocked by the views and sake there is no place for
0:26:15 > 0:26:18them in football and there has also been a reaction from some of the
0:26:18 > 0:26:21West Ham players, Cheikh Kouyate, one of their players taking the
0:26:21 > 0:26:27social media this morning, posting a picture of himself saying "African
0:26:27 > 0:26:34and private, proud. "
0:26:34 > 0:26:39and private, proud. " -- African and proud.Thank you, Richard Conway.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The end of January is a milestone for all those people who pledged
0:26:42 > 0:26:44to go the whole month without drinking alcohol.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Organisers of the Dry January campaign say thousands of people
0:26:46 > 0:26:48signed up to take part.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50Another campaign - Veganuary - has also reported thousands pledging
0:26:50 > 0:26:52to avoid eating animal-derived products for the month,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54with more people questioning where their food comes
0:26:54 > 0:26:56from and the ethics behind its production.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Danny Savage has been to meet people taking part in Leeds.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59A vegan cafe in Leeds.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02There's no meat or dairy products in any of the
0:27:02 > 0:27:05food here, and for the last month non-vegans have been encouraged to
0:27:05 > 0:27:06give it a go.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08And those behind Veganuary say it's a lot easier today
0:27:08 > 0:27:10than it was a few years ago.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15When I went vegan seven years ago there was
0:27:15 > 0:27:18none of the chain restaurants doing vegan options - now nearly all of
0:27:18 > 0:27:21them either have vegan options on the menu or they've got
0:27:21 > 0:27:22a vegan menu itself.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25A lot of the supermarkets now, the range of products that are
0:27:25 > 0:27:28available to people going vegan is a lot better than it was six
0:27:28 > 0:27:30or seven years ago, so it's moving in the right direction.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32And what's the one thing you miss? Cheese.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33That's your... Yeah.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Cheese.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Tabatha went vegan for January, despite some
0:27:38 > 0:27:40cravings she's stuck to it and will continue.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44The thing that got me in the first place was actually the
0:27:44 > 0:27:47environmental impact of veganism and vegetarianism, but yeah,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49health, ethics, there's just so many reasons,
0:27:49 > 0:27:50I think, to go vegan.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52And it's going OK? Yeah.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53You haven't struggled? No, I haven't actually struggled.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54You've completed it?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56You haven't fallen off the wagon as such?
0:27:56 > 0:27:57No, I haven't.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00At a nearby bakery, Ellie has built up a
0:28:00 > 0:28:01business making vegan cakes.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Production has grown rapidly because veganism
0:28:02 > 0:28:05is no longer a niche, it's becoming mainstream.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It's been crazy busy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Lots of cafes have started doing it, they want to
0:28:11 > 0:28:17accommodate everybody so they're wanting to offer a really good range
0:28:17 > 0:28:25and just the general public as well, you'll notice, if you go to a market
0:28:28 > 0:28:31or even just going to the big vegan fairs there's much, much
0:28:31 > 0:28:32bigger crowds.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35And the growth in trade is reflected by a growing change in
0:28:35 > 0:28:36people's attitudes.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Veganism as a lifestyle choice has definitely boomed in the last
0:28:39 > 0:28:40few years.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43But for a lot of other people they're choosing a more flexible
0:28:43 > 0:28:44approach, even part-time.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Perhaps reducing their meat intake to once
0:28:47 > 0:28:49or twice a week, taking a more vegetable-centric approach the other
0:28:49 > 0:28:52days, and for these people Veganuary is a brilliant introduction and a
0:28:52 > 0:28:54way to test the waters.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55The organisers say about 78,000 people
0:28:55 > 0:28:57in the UK tried going vegan in January.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59They think even more will have a go next year.
0:28:59 > 0:29:07Danny Savage, BBC News, Leeds.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Norway as part of a four-day
0:29:14 > 0:29:15tour of Scandanavia.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18William and Kate are visiting the Norwegian royal family and meeting
0:29:18 > 0:29:24local entrepreneurs.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell is in Oslo.
0:29:26 > 0:29:32What's on the agenda?Welcome to a very snowbound Oslo and you'd think
0:29:32 > 0:29:35they would be used to the sort of thing here and indeed they are but
0:29:35 > 0:29:37rather more snow in recent days than is customary which caused a few
0:29:37 > 0:29:43complications this morning but the Cambridges Scandinavian odyssey
0:29:43 > 0:29:46continues travelling this morning from Stockholm in Sweden to Oslo,
0:29:46 > 0:29:53greeted Oslo airport by the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. They have
0:29:53 > 0:29:58come on now to the royal palace in the centre of Oslo where they have
0:29:58 > 0:30:01met King Harald and having lunch with him, quite a family occasion,
0:30:01 > 0:30:05they are distantly related, close ties between the Norwegian and
0:30:05 > 0:30:08British royal family is. What will they be talking about? As royals
0:30:08 > 0:30:13they don't do politics but there is a strong political context to do
0:30:13 > 0:30:18with anything concerning Britain and Europe. We shouldn't forget that all
0:30:18 > 0:30:21of these visits are commissioned by the British Foreign Office, lots of
0:30:21 > 0:30:25visits by the British royal family to European countries in recent
0:30:25 > 0:30:28years. The purpose is to emphasise the depth and breadth of the
0:30:28 > 0:30:32relationship with Britain, William talking about that in Stockholm last
0:30:32 > 0:30:35night. Norway, of course, interesting, not part of the EU but
0:30:35 > 0:30:39part of the Single Market, a very rich country, one of the richest per
0:30:39 > 0:30:43capita in Europe, indeed in the world, so a country with which the
0:30:43 > 0:30:48United Kingdom will want to have even stronger links in the future.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53Interesting, thanks very much, Nicholas Witchell, in a very chilly
0:30:53 > 0:30:58looking Oslo. Let's look at our own weather prospects.
0:30:58 > 0:30:58I thought we'd
0:30:58 > 0:31:00weather prospects. I thought we'd start with a quick
0:31:00 > 0:31:02look at yesterday's super blue moon, this picture taken from the Richmond
0:31:02 > 0:31:08area looking over
0:31:08 > 0:31:10area looking over the London city skyline. Today we are going to keep
0:31:10 > 0:31:13largely clear skies, for a number of people some sunshine but showers
0:31:13 > 0:31:17will continue to affect northern and western areas and we have a clump of
0:31:17 > 0:31:21showers working down from the North York Moors where they could be sleet
0:31:21 > 0:31:24and a bit of snow over the tops, the club of showers working at East
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Anglia through the afternoon. It feels colder this afternoon on
0:31:28 > 0:31:31account of the brisk and gusty north and north westerly winds, continuing
0:31:31 > 0:31:36to blow around coastal counties over night to night. We could see one or
0:31:36 > 0:31:39two icy patches developing overnight as the road temperatures dipped
0:31:39 > 0:31:45below freezing. But in the towns and cities we are looking at lows of
0:31:45 > 0:31:492-4d. Tomorrow the winds will be a bit lighter but there will be plenty
0:31:49 > 0:31:53of sunshine around so it went the US chilly. They will be showers in the
0:31:53 > 0:31:56morning through the afternoon across eastern Scotland and eastern areas
0:31:56 > 0:32:00of England but they will thin out as the day goes by and one or two
0:32:00 > 0:32:03showers for parts of western Wales and Cornwall. Otherwise it is
0:32:03 > 0:32:08largely dry, temperatures between five and 8 degrees. Looking ahead to
0:32:08 > 0:32:12the weekend weather prospects, we have a band of rain, perhaps some
0:32:12 > 0:32:15snow to contend with on Saturday, often cloudy this weekend, and there
0:32:15 > 0:32:18will be some cold winds developing, particularly across south-east
0:32:18 > 0:32:23England. Here is the weather charts for Saturday, this band of rain will
0:32:23 > 0:32:26become slow-moving on Saturday and will turn to snow across the high
0:32:26 > 0:32:31ground in Scotland, across Wales and the Pennines too. It's possible some
0:32:31 > 0:32:35of the rain will turn to sleet, or a bit of snow developing through the
0:32:35 > 0:32:39afternoon, perhaps lower down across parts of the Midlands and southern
0:32:39 > 0:32:42England, although I think amounts of snow will be very small if that
0:32:42 > 0:32:46happened. By Sunday we have quite a bit of dry weather, but a lot of
0:32:46 > 0:32:49cloud for England and Wales, the best of the Sunshine for the north
0:32:49 > 0:32:52and west for Scotland and Northern Ireland. The wind is picking up in
0:32:52 > 0:33:00the south-east will make it feel pretty chilly.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02pretty chilly. Now I'm going to skip ahead to development is through
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Monday night into Tuesday because a band of snow could be on its way
0:33:05 > 0:33:07moving across the country, the main uncertainty is how far eastwards it
0:33:07 > 0:33:10will push across but it could bring a significant spell of snow, Monday
0:33:10 > 0:33:12night into Tuesday, and it's something we are watching very
0:33:12 > 0:33:13carefully. Jane.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15something we are watching very carefully. Jane. Thank you very
0:33:15 > 0:33:17much, Chris.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19A reminder of our main story this lunchtime:
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Theresa May says Britain and China are enjoying a golden era
0:33:22 > 0:33:30in their relationship on a visit to Beijing.
