0:02:07 > 0:02:09-- but the third female skater to complete a triple

0:02:09 > 0:02:12axel in Games history only manages to get a bronze.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14Good evening, and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

0:02:14 > 0:02:16The deputy chief executive of Oxfam has resigned,

0:02:16 > 0:02:18following allegations the charity tried to cover up the full details

0:02:18 > 0:02:21of a sex scandal in Haiti, involving its aid workers.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Senior figures in the organisation, have been meeting the International

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Development Secretary, after the Government threatened

0:02:25 > 0:02:27to cut millions of pounds of funding over the controversy.

0:02:27 > 0:02:35The charity has been asked to produce all its evidence relating

0:02:44 > 0:02:46to what happened with some aid workers after the Haitian

0:02:46 > 0:02:48earthquake in 2010.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Our special correspondent Lucy Manning has the details.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53The allegations that the team knew, about prostitutes being used not

0:02:53 > 0:03:01just in Haiti, but in Chad, with nothing done. She worked in human

0:03:01 > 0:03:06resources in Haiti for Oxfam for two and a half years, says she flagged

0:03:06 > 0:03:12concerns and was ignored.There was a lot of rumours on the ground about

0:03:12 > 0:03:18management and leaders exploiting the locals, sexually and in other

0:03:18 > 0:03:27ways, to get jobs, and to have good standing. These were ongoing rumours

0:03:27 > 0:03:34that would come to me through the drivers and others. On many

0:03:34 > 0:03:41occasions I would share those rumours with my boss.Now Oxfam's

0:03:41 > 0:03:46Deputy Chief Executive has resigned. Penny Lawrence was programme

0:03:46 > 0:03:49director whether prostitution allegations were made and ignored.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53She said, "I am ashamed that happened on my watch and I take the

0:03:53 > 0:03:59responsibility." The

0:04:00 > 0:04:06responsibility." The actions of their director in Chad and arrow-mac

0:04:06 > 0:04:11were never properly dealt with. Bringing Oxfam into disrepute, Enda

0:04:11 > 0:04:17Kenny wait abusing people who may have been beneficiaries... There was

0:04:17 > 0:04:23a discussion of how the organisation should respond, but we didn't act on

0:04:23 > 0:04:26it, and more significantly, because there were not formal complaints, we

0:04:26 > 0:04:32allowed him to move on to another post, and that was our failing.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Oxfam's bosses were called in to meet ministers this morning with

0:04:36 > 0:04:40questions over the £32 million the charity receives from the

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Government. Ministers here at the Department for International

0:04:43 > 0:04:48Development no British charities do good work overseas, but with Oxfam

0:04:48 > 0:04:53half the story of what happened with its staff in Haiti it has now put

0:04:53 > 0:04:59pressure on the entire charity sector. Oxfam says it investigated

0:04:59 > 0:05:0687 allegations of sexual abuse or exploitation last year, and Save the

0:05:06 > 0:05:12Children looked into 31 cases of misconduct. Christian Aide said it

0:05:12 > 0:05:15had two cases, one of which was reported to the Charity commission.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19I don't think anyone can see in good faith operating in an environment

0:05:19 > 0:05:25like ours, that we can eliminate all risk as a matter of 100% certainty.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30What we can do is put on 100% best effort to keep these people out of

0:05:30 > 0:05:37our organisation.The Charity commission says it receives reports

0:05:37 > 0:05:41of about 1000 incidents involving safeguarding from charities each

0:05:41 > 0:05:49year, but a culture of cover-up, not the image charities want.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52the image charities want. Lucy, how damaging is this whole affair, not

0:05:52 > 0:05:57just a Oxfam but the aid sector in general?Starting with Oxfam the

0:05:57 > 0:06:00resignations following this really don't look good. Allegations of

0:06:00 > 0:06:04staff using prostitutes in Chad, nothing done, then those staff

0:06:04 > 0:06:08members are allowed to go and work in Haiti, more allegations, some of

0:06:08 > 0:06:12them allowed to just resign and get other jobs, and the full details not

0:06:12 > 0:06:18passed on either to the authorities in Haiti or in the UK, and the chief

0:06:18 > 0:06:28executive of Oxfam admitting

0:06:31 > 0:06:32today that the disclosures you heard from that woman in my report, who

0:06:32 > 0:06:35said she raised them, they should have been listened to, and what we

0:06:35 > 0:06:38have had from him is an acceptance that although we have at this

0:06:38 > 0:06:40resignation from the Deputy Chief Executive, that he will also go

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Oxfam think he can't deal with this issue. In the last few minutes from

0:06:43 > 0:06:45the Government we have had details of the meeting they had with Oxfam

0:06:45 > 0:06:48today. A new unit is being set up that charities will have to do

0:06:48 > 0:06:50better, and also the Secretary of State Penny Mordaunt has written to

0:06:50 > 0:06:53all the charities telling them they must refer all these allegations to

0:06:53 > 0:06:57the relevant authorities.Lucy Manning, many thanks.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Three British tourists killed in a helicopter crash

0:06:59 > 0:07:01in the Grand Canyon, have been named

0:07:01 > 0:07:04by police in America.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Becky Dobson, Jason Hill and Stuart Hill, died

0:07:06 > 0:07:07on Saturday evening.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Three other Britons, and the pilot, were injured.

0:07:09 > 0:07:16Our North America correspondent James Cook reports.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20This is the moment a dream holiday for three British couples turned

0:07:20 > 0:07:26into a nightmare. The helicopter came down just before sunset in

0:07:26 > 0:07:30rugged terrain near the West rim of the Grand Canyon. Explosions and

0:07:30 > 0:07:36fire followed with three passengers apparently trapped inside. They were

0:07:36 > 0:07:41Stuart Hill, celebrating his 30th birthday, and his girlfriend, Becky

0:07:41 > 0:07:46Dobson, a receptionist from Worthing in West Sussex. She was 27. His

0:07:46 > 0:07:50brother Jason Hill who was a lawyer in Milton Keynes also died. He was

0:07:50 > 0:07:5432 years old. His girlfriend, Jennifer Barham, survived. Also on

0:07:54 > 0:08:00board were newlyweds Jonathan Udall and Ellie Milward, seen here on the

0:08:00 > 0:08:06left at their wedding with Becky and Stuart. They had been saving up for

0:08:06 > 0:08:12their holiday for a year and three who died had been attending Worthing

0:08:12 > 0:08:16College.They had gone with their passions to enjoy their young lives,

0:08:16 > 0:08:20going through their careers as they had wanted, to get to this stage in

0:08:20 > 0:08:24their live and die so young, it is just devastating.In the minutes

0:08:24 > 0:08:27after the crash passengers and crew from other helicopters in the area

0:08:27 > 0:08:33rushed to help. They included a nurse.When we finally got some

0:08:33 > 0:08:38medical equipment down there I started helping with putting in IV

0:08:38 > 0:08:41lines, then another crew came with medication, so I started

0:08:41 > 0:08:44administering that, give them fluids to help prevent them from going into

0:08:44 > 0:08:49shock, kept a really close eye on them and did what I could do.A dust

0:08:49 > 0:08:56storm meant rescue teams had to walk to the site using night vision

0:08:56 > 0:09:00goggles. It was more than eight hours before they could be taken to

0:09:00 > 0:09:03hospital.We could not extract everybody from the crash site until

0:09:03 > 0:09:08two o'clock this morning. High winds, rugged terrain, and as you

0:09:08 > 0:09:11know, when you fly in treacherous conditions like this, you have to

0:09:11 > 0:09:16have special training and special people.The Grand Canyon is

0:09:16 > 0:09:20attractive because it is untamed, drawing visitors from all over the

0:09:20 > 0:09:25world. The tour

0:09:26 > 0:09:30world. The tour company Papillon, Airways, flight every year and this

0:09:30 > 0:09:35crash is the firm's second fatal accident here. The three British

0:09:35 > 0:09:38survivors and the pilot are being treated at this hospital in Las

0:09:38 > 0:09:43Vegas. All four are said to be in critical condition. The cause of the

0:09:43 > 0:09:47crash in the canyon, and the deadly fire, is not yet known.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50And we can speak to James Cook in Las Vegas now.

0:09:50 > 0:09:56More details are emerging about the victims?Yes, that's right. Some

0:09:56 > 0:10:01pretty heartbreaking tributes being paid to these victims. Becky

0:10:01 > 0:10:04Dobson's Father Peter for example said his daughter was full of life

0:10:04 > 0:10:09and always happy. Her friends speak about our beautiful person who loved

0:10:09 > 0:10:12animals and had a dream of becoming a veterinary nurse. Friends of the

0:10:12 > 0:10:18two brothers who died, Stuart and Jason Hill have also been paying

0:10:18 > 0:10:22tribute, describing them as popular and great fun. As for here, the

0:10:22 > 0:10:27survivors are still being treated in this hospital for these very serious

0:10:27 > 0:10:32injuries, but the focus at the crash site, which is very remote, is on

0:10:32 > 0:10:36what exactly happened, why this helicopter crashed. It appears the

0:10:36 > 0:10:40impact was survivable, so why did the fire followed? Why were those

0:10:40 > 0:10:46trapped unable to get out of that helicopter? Questions for the tour

0:10:46 > 0:10:53company, for the local authorities which regulate that

0:10:56 > 0:10:57which regulate that company as well, and also perhaps questions for the

0:10:57 > 0:11:00manufacturer of this helicopter.OK, James, many thanks. James Cook, live

0:11:00 > 0:11:02in Las Vegas.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Theresa May and the Irish Prime Minister have been meeting

0:11:04 > 0:11:06Northern Ireland's political leaders, amid speculation that

0:11:06 > 0:11:08a deal to restore the devolved government at Stormont

0:11:08 > 0:11:09could be close.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12But negotiations between the Democratic Unionists

0:11:12 > 0:11:14and Sinn Fein have stalled several times in recent months

0:11:14 > 0:11:17since the power sharing executive collapsed more than a year ago.

0:11:17 > 0:11:23Here's our Ireland correspondent Chris Page.

0:11:23 > 0:11:30His report contains some flash photography.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32The Prime Minister began her visit to Belfast at a place

0:11:32 > 0:11:35which was recently the scene of an unexpected victory,

0:11:35 > 0:11:37hundreds of jobs had been under threat at the aircraft manufacturer

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Bombardier.

0:11:39 > 0:11:42They are safe now after the firm won a trade dispute

0:11:42 > 0:11:43against Boeing in the US.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45But Mrs May came here looking to help find another breakthrough.

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Northern Ireland has been without a devolved

0:11:47 > 0:11:48government for 13 months.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51Several rounds of negotiations have failed to break the deadlock between

0:11:51 > 0:11:59the Democratic Unionist Party and Sinn Fein.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02Mrs May and the Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar told

0:12:02 > 0:12:04the parties they were committed to bringing back devolution.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08After the meetings, Stormont politicians struck a positive note.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Good progress has been made, we will continue to work

0:12:10 > 0:12:12to look for more progress.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15And it's about finding an accommodation that

0:12:15 > 0:12:17recognises the need to respect all languages and all cultures

0:12:17 > 0:12:19in Northern Ireland.

0:12:19 > 0:12:25We don't believe that there is anything now that is

0:12:25 > 0:12:27insurmountable left to resolve.

0:12:27 > 0:12:32There are matters of clarity and some detail.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35The main sticking point has been whether there should be a new law

0:12:35 > 0:12:38to protect and promote the Irish language.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42For speakers of the tongue, Irish is about identity,

0:12:42 > 0:12:43culture and history, and they believe it

0:12:43 > 0:12:51needs legal recognition.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54It needs equality and it needs to be on the same level as Gaelic

0:12:54 > 0:12:57in Scotland and Welsh in Wales.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59And obviously English here as well.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03It needs to be on an equal footing with the rest

0:13:03 > 0:13:04and that's all we're asking.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06But in Unionist areas there is suspicion and even

0:13:06 > 0:13:08hostility towards the idea.

0:13:08 > 0:13:10Here in Shankill Road in West Belfast people

0:13:10 > 0:13:16are strongly opposed to an Irish language law.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Wouldn't have my children going down schools, you know, learning it,

0:13:19 > 0:13:20letting the kids learn it.

0:13:20 > 0:13:25This is British, it isn't Irish.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27Always stick to British...

0:13:27 > 0:13:29This is a British country, not an Irish country.

0:13:29 > 0:13:30I think it's terrible.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think our crew's letting us down.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35That strength of feeling shows how sensitive and symbolic the issue

0:13:35 > 0:13:43of the Irish language has become during this long and deep political

0:13:46 > 0:13:48crisis but there are other disagreements separating the parties

0:13:48 > 0:13:50including whether same-sex marriage should be allowed

0:13:50 > 0:13:52in Northern Ireland and how the hundreds of unsolved

0:13:52 > 0:13:55killings from the Troubles should be dealt with.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57The power-sharing executive has been in the deep freeze as the issue

0:13:57 > 0:14:00of the Irish border has become one of the most significant

0:14:00 > 0:14:01in the Brexit negotiations.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03The Stormont stalemate isn't over, but there are signs

0:14:03 > 0:14:04relations are warming.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Chris Page, BBC News, Belfast.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11The

0:14:11 > 0:14:13London City Airport remains closed after an unexploded bomb

0:14:13 > 0:14:16from World War Two was found in the Thames, not

0:14:16 > 0:14:17far from the runway.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19It was discovered in the early hours of Sunday morning,

0:14:19 > 0:14:20forcing the evacuation of neighbouring buildings.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23Work to dispose of the device should be completed by tomorrow.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26The Serious Fraud Office is to prosecute Barclays Bank

0:14:26 > 0:14:29over a loan of more than £2 billion it gave to the Gulf state of

0:14:29 > 0:14:34Qatar during the financial crisis.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Investigators claim the money was used to buy shares

0:14:36 > 0:14:40in the bank, which amounts to unlawful financial assistance.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Barclays' parent company was charged with the same offence

0:14:43 > 0:14:48last year and both firms will contest the allegations.

0:14:48 > 0:14:53In South Africa, leaders of the governing ANC party

0:14:53 > 0:14:55are meeting to decide the fate of President Jacob Zuma.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00Mr Zuma has been resisting calls to stand down,

0:15:00 > 0:15:02but over the weekend the party's new leader Cyril Ramaphosa

0:15:02 > 0:15:05said the question of his position would be finalised today.

0:15:05 > 0:15:10Our Africa Editor Fergal Keane is in Johannseburg.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14We've been here quite a few times in the last few weeks but is there any

0:15:14 > 0:15:21sign of a final decision as to President Zuma's fate?Not yet but

0:15:21 > 0:15:25there will be. I wish I could tell you when. They've been talking for

0:15:25 > 0:15:31over six hours. That's not unusual with the ANC and especially the

0:15:31 > 0:15:34National Executive Committee, which has 90 members and everyone is

0:15:34 > 0:15:39entitled to their say. They should reach a consensus and avoid a

0:15:39 > 0:15:46divisive vote. The scenario that has been sketched out is that they will

0:15:46 > 0:15:51agree to recall President Zuma, in other words ask for his resignation

0:15:51 > 0:15:54and in a carefully choreographed move he will agreed to resign. It

0:15:54 > 0:16:01isn't confirmed or guaranteed. The doubt is moving onto the floor of

0:16:01 > 0:16:05Parliament where you may have a vote of no-confidence or impeachment

0:16:05 > 0:16:09which would see ANC members voting against their own leader. Cyril

0:16:09 > 0:16:15Ramaphosa once to have leadership and avoid a gift to the opposition.

0:16:15 > 0:16:21It is hoped they will reach a decision that will see President

0:16:21 > 0:16:31Zuma, perhaps tomorrow morning, agreeing to resign.The top stories

0:16:31 > 0:16:36Oxfam's deputy chief executive has resigned over the sex scandal

0:16:36 > 0:16:42involving aid workers in Haiti. Coming up, more details are revealed

0:16:42 > 0:16:46about the royal wedding day.

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Coming up on Sportsday on BBC News, Britain's Aimee Fuller can only

0:16:48 > 0:16:51finish 17th after being one of the snowboarders to struggle on a

0:16:51 > 0:16:57windswept day at the Winter Olympics.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03Tourist flights to Tunisia will resume tomorrow,

0:17:03 > 0:17:06two and half years after 30 British holidaymakers were killed

0:17:06 > 0:17:08in a terror attack at a beach resort in the coastal

0:17:08 > 0:17:11city of Sousse.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14A travel ban later imposed by the UK was lifted last summer

0:17:14 > 0:17:16and now Thomas Cook will operate flights from Manchester

0:17:16 > 0:17:18and Birmingham.

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Our Security Correspondent Frank Gardner has travelled to Tunisia

0:17:20 > 0:17:22to assess what security measures have been taken

0:17:22 > 0:17:28to reassure visitors.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31Tunis by night, and a National Guard unit prepares to raid

0:17:31 > 0:17:39a suspected terrorist hideout.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Their commander tells us they know of 500 Islamist extremists

0:17:42 > 0:17:46living in just three square kilometres here.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Well, they've just gone into a house here.

0:17:49 > 0:17:52We can hear some shouts.

0:17:52 > 0:17:58We're in a tiny little backstreet, and they're looking for members

0:17:58 > 0:18:02of an Isis cell that has been in Libya, they suspect, so the whole

0:18:02 > 0:18:07street is flooded with these armed National Guard soldiers.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Three years ago on this beach near Sousse, an Isis gunman

0:18:10 > 0:18:16shot dead 38 people, 30 of them British.

0:18:16 > 0:18:22Now, Tunisia is getting training from Royal Navy instructors

0:18:22 > 0:18:24in maritime security, while Met police detectives have

0:18:24 > 0:18:25been training up hotel staff.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29At four key airports, British aviation experts have

0:18:29 > 0:18:31installed new screening equipment, so I asked Britain's ambassador,

0:18:31 > 0:18:32how safe is it now?

0:18:32 > 0:18:36Well, no country is 100% safe, as we saw with the tragic attacks

0:18:36 > 0:18:40in London and Manchester last year, but it is safer here than it was in

0:18:40 > 0:18:482015 because the Tunisians' capability has improved.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52In the resort town of Hammamet, where Thomas Cook is taking

0:18:52 > 0:18:54the first returning British tourists, I asked the hotel manager

0:18:54 > 0:18:58what precautions he's taking.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02We have around 60 cameras all around the hotel.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04The exterior cameras are all monitored 24 hours

0:19:04 > 0:19:11by people behind the screens.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15But Tunisia sits in a dangerous neighbourhood.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Across this border, Libya is in chaos, and Isis has bases.

0:19:18 > 0:19:25The Manchester bomber trained in Libya, and so did the Sousse gunman.

0:19:25 > 0:19:31Back in the capital, Tunis, the night raid yields results.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35Suspects were arrested and will now face trial.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Tunisia has made huge progress against terrorism,

0:19:38 > 0:19:41but if its tourist industry is to recover fully,

0:19:41 > 0:19:42it will need to stay vigilant.

0:19:42 > 0:19:50Frank Gardner, BBC News, Tunisia.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Friends and family are searching for a Scottish man who's

0:19:51 > 0:19:54gone missing in Hamburg after a stag party.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Liam Colgan was last seen in the early hours

0:19:56 > 0:19:59of Saturday morning, in a bar in the city.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01He'd organised the trip for family and friends,

0:20:01 > 0:20:02ahead of his brother's wedding next month.

0:20:02 > 0:20:08Catrina Renton has the details.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10Liam Colgan, on the right, doing what he loves,

0:20:10 > 0:20:18music with his band.

0:20:21 > 0:20:24On Friday, he and 17 friends were out in Hamburg

0:20:24 > 0:20:25celebrating his brother Eamonn's stag weekend.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Liam is the best man and had organised it all.

0:20:28 > 0:20:33His friends last saw him at 1:30am in the Reeperbahn area of the city.

0:20:33 > 0:20:35We knew that his phone battery had died on Friday evening

0:20:35 > 0:20:40so we might not have just heard of him overnight.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43But it was really strange when he didn't turn up the next

0:20:43 > 0:20:47morning and we became increasingly concerned when he didn't turn up

0:20:47 > 0:20:50for the 5-a-side football match that we had planned for one o'clock

0:20:50 > 0:20:51on Saturday afternoon.

0:20:51 > 0:20:56That's when we really knew something wasn't right.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Some of Liam's family and friends have stayed in the city

0:20:58 > 0:21:01hoping to help trace him.

0:21:01 > 0:21:09German police say they are planning to launch a public

0:21:09 > 0:21:10appeal for information.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15Back in Scotland, Liam's friends are doing everything they can,

0:21:15 > 0:21:18they want as many people as possible to share this page on social

0:21:18 > 0:21:20media, hoping someone, somewhere knows something.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24It's totally out of character and that's why we need people's help.

0:21:24 > 0:21:28Don't assume that this is just a guy on a night out that's not come back

0:21:28 > 0:21:31because he's on some kind of mad night out.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33That's not him.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36The wedding is in three weeks' time.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Liam's family and friends just want him home.

0:21:39 > 0:21:44Catrina Renton, BBC News.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Kensington Palace has released more details of Prince Harry

0:21:47 > 0:21:49and Meghan Markle's wedding plans.

0:21:49 > 0:21:52The ceremony will take place at Windsor Castle on May 19th.

0:21:52 > 0:21:57Our Royal Correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports.

0:21:57 > 0:22:04Three months to go, and so much to do, but Harry

0:22:04 > 0:22:06and Megan are said to be involving themselves closely

0:22:06 > 0:22:08in details of the wedding arrangements.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11The venue we know will be the magnificent

0:22:11 > 0:22:13setting of St George's Chapel inside Windsor Castle.

0:22:13 > 0:22:15Dating from the 15th century and rich in history, it's

0:22:15 > 0:22:18here that the banners of the Knights of the Garter are displayed above

0:22:18 > 0:22:19the choir stalls.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22It will be the setting for a ceremony which will be

0:22:22 > 0:22:24very much more a family wedding than a state occasion.

0:22:24 > 0:22:31We now know the timetable for the day.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32At noon, the wedding ceremony will begin,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34well-timed for American breakfast television.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35At 1pm, the carriage procession will begin.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37At around 2pm, there will be a wedding

0:22:37 > 0:22:39reception inside the castle.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Then in the evening, there will be a private

0:22:41 > 0:22:44dinner and reception for the couple, their families, and close friends.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48In terms of the carriage procession, this is the route they will take.

0:22:48 > 0:22:49At 1pm, from Windsor Castle, they will

0:22:49 > 0:22:51go down Castle Hill and Windsor High Street,

0:22:51 > 0:22:54and then out to the south of Windsor along King's

0:22:54 > 0:22:59Road, before returning to the castle along

0:22:59 > 0:23:00the Long Walk.

0:23:00 > 0:23:01A processional route which Kensington Palace hopes

0:23:01 > 0:23:04will give people a chance to feel part of what

0:23:04 > 0:23:05they call, "This special day."

0:23:05 > 0:23:09One problem which hasn't been resolved is whether Prince William,

0:23:09 > 0:23:11the president of the Football Association,

0:23:11 > 0:23:16will be able to get to the FA Cup final, which is due

0:23:16 > 0:23:18to kick off at Wembley late that afternoon.

0:23:18 > 0:23:19It could be tricky.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21The problem would be getting William back

0:23:21 > 0:23:24to the castle in time for that family dinner in the evening.

0:23:24 > 0:23:26If the cup final went into extra time, he'd

0:23:26 > 0:23:29have a problem.

0:23:29 > 0:23:33So Windsor may well win the day over Wembley.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37And at the centre of things at the big match in

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Windsor will be these two, a bride and groom becoming, well, not

0:23:40 > 0:23:45exactly a Mr and Mrs, more probably a Duke and Duchess.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Nicholas Witchell, BBC News, Windsor.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52The minister responsible for maternity and paternity leave,

0:23:52 > 0:23:55Andrew Griffiths, who has been promoting shared parental

0:23:55 > 0:23:58leave for new parents, has told the BBC that he's not

0:23:58 > 0:23:59actually eligible for the leave.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02He and his wife are expecting their first child in April,

0:24:02 > 0:24:05but he said that as a minister it's against the rules for him to take

0:24:05 > 0:24:11advantage of the policy.

0:24:11 > 0:24:18The legendary singer Vic Damone had died at the age of 89.

0:24:20 > 0:24:27# I hear music when I look at you. #

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Best known for the hits "You're Breaking My Heart"

0:24:29 > 0:24:32and "On the Street Where You Live," he was part of the golden

0:24:32 > 0:24:35age of lounge singers, who came to fame after World War II,

0:24:35 > 0:24:37including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Dean Martin.

0:24:37 > 0:24:39Strong winds have disrupted the Winter Olympics in South Korea.

0:24:39 > 0:24:42The final of the women's giant slalom had to be postponed.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45But the final of the women's snowboard slopestyle did go

0:24:45 > 0:24:47ahead in conditions some described as "dangerous".

0:24:47 > 0:24:48From Pyeongchang, our Sports Correspondent Andy

0:24:48 > 0:24:54Swiss has the details.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58Just getting to the start was a struggle.

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Howling winds for the women's snowboarders and soon

0:25:00 > 0:25:03a blizzard of controversy.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Instead of postponing, they went ahead, with calamitous results.

0:25:05 > 0:25:10COMMENTATOR:Goodness me!

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Quite how no one was injured, especially Slovakia's Klaudia

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Medlova, almost defied belief.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19As one after another, their hopes crash landed.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22All of the 25 riders fell at some point, including

0:25:22 > 0:25:27Britain's Aimee Fuller.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30The wind forced her to pull out of a jump on her first run,

0:25:30 > 0:25:32which meant on the second it was all or nothing,

0:25:32 > 0:25:34and agonisingly it was the latter.

0:25:34 > 0:25:36Fuller finished 17th, but more importantly, intact.

0:25:36 > 0:25:41The conditions, she said, where simply brutal.

0:25:41 > 0:25:45It felt like I had a sailboat under my board.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47The wind ripped me sideways.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49There wasn't a chance I was going to land.

0:25:49 > 0:25:54So, yeah, devastated.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Amidst the chaos, America's Jamie Anderson kept her balance

0:25:57 > 0:25:59and her Olympic title.

0:25:59 > 0:26:03Organisers felt it had been safe to start the final, but was it?

0:26:03 > 0:26:06The coaches and judges, they all have a chat together

0:26:06 > 0:26:08and make a decision at the top of the slope.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11I wonder what went on in that conversation, why somebody didn't

0:26:11 > 0:26:19say, let's postpone this.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21These biting winds have already blown the schedule of course.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23Today's women's giant slalom had to be postponed,

0:26:23 > 0:26:25and with more high winds forecast tomorrow there could

0:26:25 > 0:26:28be more disruption.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30For now though, there will be relief no-one was badly hurt,

0:26:30 > 0:26:34on a day when extreme sport certainly lived up to its name.

0:26:34 > 0:26:40Andy Swiss, BBC News, Pyeongchang.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Looks pretty bad in South Korea, what about here?

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Here's Chris Fawkes.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46Here's Chris Fawkes.

0:26:46 > 0:26:51For some of us it is the winter that keeps giving in terms of snow, some

0:26:51 > 0:26:58having more than their fair share. This was taken in the Peak District.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02Looking at the satellite picture you can see the next weather system that

0:27:02 > 0:27:06is racing across the Atlantic and this will cause problems overnight

0:27:06 > 0:27:11and into tomorrow for some of us in terms of heavies know. Before that,

0:27:11 > 0:27:16very windy over England and Wales, gusts around 70 mph around coastal

0:27:16 > 0:27:20areas and that's enough to cause issues. You can't help but notice

0:27:20 > 0:27:25the blue turning into white further north. Rain turning to snow in

0:27:25 > 0:27:29higher parts of Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England. How

0:27:29 > 0:27:37much, 5-10 centimetres. It could be riding towards morning rush-hour in

0:27:37 > 0:27:40Scotland, coming down heavily, so difficult conditions, a risk of

0:27:40 > 0:27:44disruption and even lower down there will be a few centimetres. The snow

0:27:44 > 0:27:49moving away from Northern Ireland but leaving thick cover over the

0:27:49 > 0:27:52higher ground. Through the rest of the Davie Provan that nation is

0:27:52 > 0:27:57slowly moving over East Anglia and south-east England so it will feel

0:27:57 > 0:28:01particularly cold. Sunny spells for the rest of us but it will be cold,

0:28:01 > 0:28:09temperatures struggling, four, 5 degrees. On Tuesday night, icy

0:28:09 > 0:28:12stretches and then a weather system racing from the Atlantic and it will

0:28:12 > 0:28:17do more of the same, strong wind, then a band of rain, turning to snow

0:28:17 > 0:28:23over the higher ground, leading to further significant accumulations.

0:28:23 > 0:28:27Some snow at lower levels in eastern Scotland but things will turn milder

0:28:27 > 0:28:31from the West with temperatures up to double figures late in the day.

0:28:31 > 0:28:35We could see some problems overnight and tomorrow, with heavy snow in the

0:28:35 > 0:28:39North.

0:28:39 > 0:28:44A reminder of our main story.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46Oxfam's deputy Chief Executive has resigned over the sex scandal

0:28:46 > 0:28:49involving aid workers in Haiti.

0:28:49 > 0:28:50That's it.

0:28:50 > 0:28:51So it's goodbye from me.
