0:01:40 > 0:01:44Snow and freezing temperatures have caused major disruption across many

0:01:47 > 0:01:51to come this week.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53More than 560 schools have been closed
0:01:53 > 0:01:56across England, Wales and Scotland.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And the snow and ice has caused treacherous driving conditions,

0:02:05 > 0:02:08There've been big problems on the railways and airports too,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11with hundreds of trains and flights cancelled.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13In a moment, we'll hear from Danny Savage in North Yorkshire,
0:02:13 > 0:02:21but first to Robert Hall in Ashford in Kent.
0:02:21 > 0:02:27Robert. Sophie, Ashford is right alongside
0:02:27 > 0:02:31the M20 motorway, one of the roots worst affected this morning. There
0:02:31 > 0:02:37are still lying snow across the eastern counties of England, and the
0:02:37 > 0:02:41temperature here intent is predicted to dive again to about minus six
0:02:41 > 0:02:46even lower tonight. We did get a bit of a lull this afternoon, a bit of a
0:02:46 > 0:02:50thaw, but the ice is forming again, and all of the signs are that

0:02:54 > 0:02:56The east coast had time to prepare, but the snowfall sweeping
0:02:56 > 0:02:59in from Europe gave travellers a taste of what
0:02:59 > 0:03:07this week has in store.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Lincolnshire Police dealt with 20 accidents in a three hour period.
0:03:11 > 0:03:19Three people died in a collision on the A15, and a schoolbus beard of

0:03:35 > 0:03:40worked flat out to cover as many roads as possible. But like traffic
0:03:40 > 0:03:45overnight meant salt couldn't do its work. By the time the morning
0:03:45 > 0:03:50commute began, accidents and ice had closed a series of routes. Tribe is

0:04:00 > 0:04:04Kent, sorry and East Sussex, where farmers helped to keep minor roads
0:04:04 > 0:04:12open. More than 300 schools were closed. This village was completely
0:04:12 > 0:04:16cut off for a time as ice and compacted snow stranded cars and
0:04:16 > 0:04:21lorries.Some of the locals here have been helping people move cars
0:04:21 > 0:04:27off the main roads, it has been very icy, and the sun has not had time to
0:04:27 > 0:04:32hit it, so, yeah, it has been an interesting day.Landlord Jason was
0:04:32 > 0:04:37among those who helped reopen the road. You have seen the forecast,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41are you worried about the rest of the week?It is going to be the same
0:04:41 > 0:04:45again tomorrow, I do believe, and Thursday evening as well, so it will
0:04:45 > 0:04:49be the same again.Norfolk also sought school closures, and that
0:04:49 > 0:04:55this primary schools the head teacher said she had no option.I
0:04:55 > 0:05:01felt it was an safe to open, I am here, but I can't look after 420
0:05:01 > 0:05:06children. That was why I made the decision, it is still snowing now,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10the roads not safe, and I just didn't want staff being put at risk.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Across the eastern counties, traffic called and travellers waited for
0:05:14 > 0:05:17news on cancelled rail services. Operators had run empty trains

0:05:28 > 0:05:33the snow was replaced by blue skies, but this is a lull. Temperatures are
0:05:33 > 0:05:37falling again. Travelling will remain unpredictable and hazardous
0:05:37 > 0:05:44in the coming days. Robert Hall, BBC News, Kent.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Well, here in northern England, I think it's fair to say that many
0:05:47 > 0:05:51people woke up this morning to a bit less so than they had been expecting
0:05:51 > 0:05:54from the forecast. That is not to say that it didn't fall heavily in
0:05:54 > 0:05:57places, it was just quite patchy, and that there are weather warnings
0:05:57 > 0:06:01in place for Northern England, Scotland and other parts of the UK
0:06:01 > 0:06:05right through until Saturday now, without to 40 centimetres of snow
0:06:05 > 0:06:10expected in some areas before the weekend. There is a long way to go
0:06:10 > 0:06:12with this cold snap yet.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14In the parts of northern England where heavy snow was forecast,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17some of the most difficult conditions were in Teesside.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Traffic came to a standstill on many roads through the morning rush hour,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24and several schools were closed.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27There is a little van stuck here, so I've got to go round it,
0:06:27 > 0:06:29so I'm going to hope there is nothing
0:06:29 > 0:06:30coming the other way.
0:06:30 > 0:06:3420 miles further south, on one of the steep roads over the moors,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36negotiating Sutton Bank was like an uphill slalom.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40And as the snow came down again, things got worse.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42What this illustrates is just how little snow
0:06:42 > 0:06:44is needed to cause a problem.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48There's hardly any on the surface here,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50but it's frozen up, it's got really slippery.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53And it's caused chaos on this road this morning.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56In the towns and cities on lower ground, snow wasn't such a problem,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58but the freezing temperatures were.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02These homeless men in Leeds haven't got shelter.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Even in this weather.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I shouldn't be doing this, I know that.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I've nowhere to go.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Nowhere to live, so I've nowhere to go.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14So...it's all about survival.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16I'm out in the cold, nobody tends to help you,
0:07:16 > 0:07:20because people are skint.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Back on the hills late morning, and the clouds briefly parted
0:07:23 > 0:07:26to reveal stunning views.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29There is life, and trade, up here -
0:07:29 > 0:07:31carrying on as normal, despite the conditions.
0:07:31 > 0:07:342010 was the worst year I can remember personally,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and it's not a scratch on that, really.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40But I mean, it's pretty -
0:07:40 > 0:07:44it's caused a little bit of disruption, but nothing major.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Yeah, it's more a bit of fun than anything.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Nearby, Dave and Cath Wood were digging out their driveway.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52They're used to the conditions but expect it to get
0:07:52 > 0:07:56worse later in the week.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Just not much at all, we're clearing it now
0:07:58 > 0:08:01so that when the next lot comes, we don't have so much to clear
0:08:01 > 0:08:04after that, you see, because I don't want it
0:08:04 > 0:08:05padding down particularly.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06So no, it's just a light flurry.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08To be honest, this is the worst winter
0:08:08 > 0:08:10that we've had for quite a while.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Last year, we hardly had any snow, but like I say,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15going back a few years, I just couldn't believe the amount
0:08:15 > 0:08:16that we actually had.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19There was feet and feet of it.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23The last 24 hours of snowfall in the England has been patchy.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well rehearsed plans have been implemented to keep roads
0:08:25 > 0:08:30open as this late blast of winter continues.
0:08:30 > 0:08:36Danny Savage, BBC News, North Yorkshire.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Meanwhile, some rail problems were not caused by snow.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Network Rail has apologised to passengers tonight,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44after it closed rail lines in areas where heavy snow was forecast
0:08:44 > 0:08:46to fall but then didn't.
0:08:46 > 0:08:53Our transport correspondent Victoria Fritz is at London Bridge.
0:08:53 > 0:09:00Victoria. Hello, Sophie, yeah, there has been
0:09:00 > 0:09:04some widespread anger from commuters today who had their services
0:09:04 > 0:09:07cancelled, only to look at the window and see belly a snowflake.
0:09:07 > 0:09:13Here at London Bridge, south-eastern have cancelled more than 100 trains
0:09:13 > 0:09:18between London and Kent. Now, Sudden and Gatwick Express were operating a
0:09:18 > 0:09:21reduced service earlier on today. -- Southern. They have largely gone
0:09:21 > 0:09:25back to normal, but it has been the east of England that has borne the
0:09:25 > 0:09:30brunt of the disruption on the train network. We are talking Great
0:09:30 > 0:09:36Northern, for example, Greater Anglia, and C2C. When it comes to
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Greater Anglia, they have now lifted all distractions on the line after
0:09:40 > 0:09:44the snow fell about 20 miles further south than was originally predicted.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48When it comes to tomorrow, Scotland is likely to see the heaviest
0:09:48 > 0:09:52snowfall, and that means that ScotRail is now advising passengers
0:09:52 > 0:09:56that they could be last-minute changes to their schedules. So why
0:09:56 > 0:10:00are there all these cancellations in the first place? Well, the track and
0:10:00 > 0:10:04signals operator, Network Rail, tries to operate on the basis that
0:10:04 > 0:10:08it wants to provide the safest and the most reliable network for the
0:10:08 > 0:10:14trains that do run to run, and that means that compacted snow can turn
0:10:14 > 0:10:17into ice, that can affect points and stop them working, we could see
0:10:17 > 0:10:22freezing temperatures, so we don't even need any snow at all, that can
0:10:22 > 0:10:26make the rails freeze, which means that the signals don't change, so
0:10:26 > 0:10:29that all these problems, despite these widespread efforts, really, to
0:10:29 > 0:10:33try and counteract this, we are talking about Europe's busiest
0:10:33 > 0:10:38railway network, so do expect more disruptions tomorrow.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Victoria at London Bridge, thank you. We will have a full weather
0:10:41 > 0:10:44forecast at the end of the programme.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The International Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, says any form of customs
0:10:46 > 0:10:48union with the EU after Brexit would be
0:10:48 > 0:10:50a "complete sell-out" for the UK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52He said the UK should not let its future
0:10:52 > 0:10:55be determined by its past.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58But his former top official says leaving the customs union
0:10:58 > 0:11:01in the hope of getting better trade deals with other countries would be
0:11:01 > 0:11:03like "giving up a three-course meal for the promise
0:11:03 > 0:11:04of a packet of crisps."
0:11:04 > 0:11:11Here's our deputy political editor, John Pienaar.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15They are the Cabinet's true believers.Foreign Secretary, does
0:11:15 > 0:11:20the UK need a very godmother? Wishful thinking, say the critics,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24but senior ministers agree that all of Britain, and Northern Ireland
0:11:24 > 0:11:27too, will stick together and win, despite all the obstacles and all
0:11:27 > 0:11:32the doubts. So today the International Trade Secretary said
0:11:32 > 0:11:36critics were wrong to say that Britain should stay in a European
0:11:36 > 0:11:41customs union and give up the freedom to strike independent trade
0:11:41 > 0:11:44deals, not just wrong...We would be in a worse position than we are
0:11:44 > 0:11:49today. It would be a complete sell-out of Britain's national
0:11:49 > 0:11:53interest and a betrayal of the voters in the referendum.But even
0:11:53 > 0:11:58before that warning, the critics were joined by the former head of
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Doc Cox's own department, and free to speak out, he is not holding
0:12:02 > 0:12:06back.We have a very deep trade relationship in goods and services
0:12:06 > 0:12:11with Europe, massively our most important market. We turn away from
0:12:11 > 0:12:15that, try and do more limited trade deals with much smaller markets,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19further away, with no service access, that is like giving up a
0:12:19 > 0:12:23three course meal for a packet of crisps. If we go to Brussels and
0:12:23 > 0:12:28say, we want access to the single market, but we wanted on our terms,
0:12:28 > 0:12:33all of the benefits, and we will decide which obligations, no
0:12:33 > 0:12:36negotiator in the world can bring you that, you would need a fairy
0:12:36 > 0:12:41godmother.How would the Trade Secretary deal with that? Is the
0:12:41 > 0:12:44greatest danger that Brexit could lead to national self harm, or that
0:12:44 > 0:12:49there aren't enough true believers like you?We cannot afford to be
0:12:49 > 0:12:54bound by the practices of the past, we have to take opportunities
0:12:54 > 0:12:57available unfettered by those who would make the rules on our behalf.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02What we need is a hard-headed leader, not a fairy godmother.There
0:13:02 > 0:13:06is a barrier to Brexit transition on the north - south border in Ireland.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Dublin wants a British pledge, no border checks, even if it means a
0:13:11 > 0:13:15customs union. Was Boris Johnson a help today? No problem, he said,
0:13:15 > 0:13:24look at London's congestion charge. There is no
0:13:24 > 0:13:26There is no border between Camden and Westminster, but when I was
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Mayor of London, we and aesthetically and invisibly took
0:13:28 > 0:13:30hundreds of millions of pounds on the accounts of people travelling
0:13:30 > 0:13:33between those two boroughs without any need for border checks
0:13:33 > 0:13:37whatever... You can't compare two boroughs of London with the kind of
0:13:37 > 0:13:41difference in the arrangements that would be in place between the UK and
0:13:41 > 0:13:45the EU.I think it is a relevant comparison.One thing Brexiteer is

0:17:17 > 0:17:20We counted at least 30 going in.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Schools need to register if they teach more than

0:18:10 > 0:18:11It's really, really upsetting.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15I was really angry because I'd gone out of my way.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I'm doing something I shouldn't be doing, and they turned me away.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Last night, we reported on a suspected
0:19:10 > 0:19:13unregistered school in South end where a teacher appeared to
0:19:13 > 0:19:15manhandle a pupil.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The community here denied this was a school, but
0:19:18 > 0:19:24we've now discovered there was even a brochure advertising it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25It says: The entire atmosphere at the
0:19:25 > 0:19:27school is one of love and personal attention.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30We understand the school has now been closed while the

0:19:31 > 0:19:33The BBC has obtained a copy of legal guidance
0:19:33 > 0:19:36which might help to explain why so few of these schools

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Drawn up in 2014 for Jewish religious yeshivas, it's also known
0:19:40 > 0:19:46to have been cited internally by the Department of Education.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49It says places only providing religious
0:19:49 > 0:19:53education can't be classed as schools and therefore can't be shut
0:19:53 > 0:19:57down.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00The implication, the less maths and English taught, the easier
0:20:00 > 0:20:02it might be to escape inspection.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07We do not want kids growing up here who
0:20:07 > 0:20:09are only taught one religious way of thinking, and that religion
0:20:09 > 0:20:11covers their whole way of life, from what

0:20:16 > 0:20:19That's crazy.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21So, even if it's technically legal, it's wrong.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23The Department of Education says it can't comment on

0:21:18 > 0:21:24How significant is this latest bid for sky?Hugely so. We have three

0:21:28 > 0:21:33fox trying to get full control, which is stuck in a regulatory
0:21:33 > 0:21:36quagmire because of concerns over media plurality was not the second
0:21:36 > 0:21:42is this fresh bid from the US giant Comcast, a huge company, but
0:21:42 > 0:21:46unlikely to face the same regulatory hurdles. And then you have Disney
0:21:46 > 0:21:50trying to take control of Fox. They all share one thing in common in
0:21:50 > 0:21:54that they are part of a frenzy of deal-making going on in
0:21:54 > 0:21:58international media. If you are Ray Sky customer, it is good news

0:22:11 > 0:22:19hardly the Hollywood ending he was hoping for.Thank you.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Almost every criminal lawyer in England and Wales has experienced
0:22:21 > 0:22:24failings in the disclosure of evidence in the past year alone,
0:22:24 > 0:22:25according to a BBC survey.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Almost a third of those questioned also said they believed the failings
0:22:28 > 0:22:30had led to possible wrongful convictions or
0:22:30 > 0:22:31miscarriages of justice.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33The findings come after several rape trials collapsed when it emerged

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Last year, he was accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old
0:22:49 > 0:22:50girl in a supermarket.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52He couldn't remember the incident but was
0:22:52 > 0:22:53convinced the store's CCTV would exonerate him.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56But in interview, the police told him this CCTV was poor
0:22:56 > 0:22:59quality and too far away to identify him.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01My lawyer wrote to the Crown Prosecution Service six times, and
0:23:01 > 0:23:03thank goodness we got it before the trial,
0:23:03 > 0:23:08because our entire defence was based on that CCTV.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Contrary to what the police had said, William
0:23:10 > 0:23:13was clearly visible on the CCTV.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14For legal reasons, the complainant is
0:23:14 > 0:23:17not shown.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I never saw these two girls.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25I brushed past one of them, and that's what the CCTV shows.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Based on the video, the court threw the case against William out.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Thames Valley police told us it's officers
0:23:31 > 0:23:33carried out a full investigation and followed standard procedures.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Now, 1300 criminal lawyers have provided
0:23:36 > 0:23:38a picture of widespread disclosure problems to the BBC.
0:23:38 > 0:23:4097% had encountered disclosure failings in
0:23:40 > 0:23:41the last year.
0:23:41 > 0:23:49Half of these were in the magistrates court.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53And nearly a third believed it had resulted in a
0:23:53 > 0:23:57possible wrongful conviction or miscarriage of justice.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02The snapshot provided by this survey blows away
0:24:02 > 0:24:05the idea that disclosure problems are limited to a few high-profile
0:24:05 > 0:24:08cases in the Crown Court.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It paints a picture of daily difficult in
0:24:10 > 0:24:15magistrates courts like these, where the majority of criminal cases are
0:24:15 > 0:24:17tried.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18We're facing a crisis around disclosure.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23The courts are not able to trust that the disclosure process
0:24:23 > 0:24:27has been completed fairly and accurately, they are not
0:24:27 > 0:24:30going to have faith in prosecutions, and I
0:24:30 > 0:24:32think we'll see that reflected in verdicts.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35The Crown Prosecution Service said the BBC survey was
0:24:35 > 0:24:38likely to provide a skewed view, with lawyers applying their own
0:24:38 > 0:24:40interpretation of what a disclosure failing was.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44But it accepted some improvements were needed.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48For William, it's just a relief he finally got the evidence that
0:24:48 > 0:24:52proved his innocence.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54If people were at all doubtful of me, it could have
0:24:54 > 0:24:58destroyed my reputation with family and friends,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01and I'm just very lucky that I have the kind of friends who

0:25:33 > 0:25:39That's it, it's fine.When Lewis Gilbert took on Bond in You Only
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Live Twice, he was already a director with 20 films to his name.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09Time for a look at the weather.
0:27:09 > 0:27:10Here's Darren Bett.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19The picturesque but challenging weather, certainly, Sophie. It's not
0:27:19 > 0:27:22going to be bad everywhere but there is more severe weather to come
0:27:22 > 0:27:25through the rest of this week, meaning more warnings for snow and
0:27:25 > 0:27:30ice. It means more travel disruption is likely, and for all of us, a
0:27:30 > 0:27:34significant wind-chill. The easterly wind is not too strong it by blowing
0:27:34 > 0:27:37in more snow showers this evening and overnight, particularly on the
0:27:37 > 0:27:42eastern side of the country. Temperatures hardly got above
0:27:42 > 0:27:50freezing, and some places stay below all day, so a widespread frost. The
0:27:50 > 0:27:59snow shifts further north into Scotland tomorrow. It is one heavy
0:27:59 > 0:28:03snow shower after another, blown on by a strong to gale force easterly
0:28:03 > 0:28:08wind. Further south, a scattering of snow showers, and Sunny spells
0:28:08 > 0:28:11towards the south-east. It might be dry and sunny later on in the
0:28:11 > 0:28:16afternoon. Those are the maximum temperatures. Lola and today, and
0:28:16 > 0:28:20add on the strength of the win, and it will feel much colder, more like
0:28:20 > 0:28:24minus ten. Much stronger winds on the way tomorrow, continuing into
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Thursday. On Thursday, this low pressure area moves up from Iberia,
0:28:28 > 0:28:34bringing wet weather and some more organised snow developing over the
0:28:34 > 0:28:37English Channel, moving into southern England on Thursday
0:28:37 > 0:28:42morning, then the main focus shifting more to the and Wales. Then
0:28:42 > 0:28:46something drier, fewer showers, back into those snow showers in
0:28:46 > 0:28:48north-east England and Scotland, where the Amber weather warning
0:28:48 > 0:28:55continues. This one arrives later in the afternoon the south-west, the
0:28:55 > 0:29:00next batch of heavy snow set to arrive. The wind is not changing
0:29:00 > 0:29:04much, still bitterly cold and easterly. Wrap up warmly if you do
0:29:04 > 0:29:08have to go out.
