Britain's most decorated Olympian,
Sir Bradley Wiggins, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
tells the BBC he's not a cheat
after MPs accuse him | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
of crossing an ethical line. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:17 | |
Sir Bradley strongly rejects
a report by MPs which accuses him | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
of using asthma drugs to enhance
performance and says life has | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
become a living hell. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
This whole thing has just been,
you know, a complete mess | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
of innuendo and rumour and nothing
has been substantiated | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
and it is just... | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
I am having to deal
with the fallout of that now. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:37 | |
It's the first interview Sir Bradley
has given since these allegations - | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
we'll have more in a moment. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
Also on the programme tonight. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |

is left critically ill. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
The Prime Minister promises

Lorry loads of bottled water

are the only way to get supplies in. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |

I say, to my mother,
thank you for your love and support. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:29 | |
Put the kettle on. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
I'm bringing Oscar home. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:37 | |

politicians in Catalonia. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:48 | |
Good evening and welcome
to the news at six. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Britain's most decorated Olympican,
Sir Bradley Wiggins has told the BBC | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
that he did not cheat
and that his life has been made | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
a living hell after he was accused
of using medical treatments | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
to enhance his performance. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
In a damning report into doping
in sport, MPs say the champion | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
cyclist and his former employer
Team Sky crossed an ethical line - | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
though they did not break any rules
- by using powerful asthma drugs. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
We'll hear from Sir Bradley
himself in a moment - | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
in his only interview
since the report was published - | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
but first here's Richard Conway. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:39 | |
He is a sporting icon, a Tour de
France winner and Britain's most | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
decorated Olympian but a damning
report has accused Sir Bradley | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Wiggins of unethical behaviour over
his use of drugs that MPs say were | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
taken to boost performance and not
just for medical need. As we make | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
clear, this is not a breach of the
rolls, it is a question about an | 0:02:59 | 0:03:03 | |
ethical line. Looking up the
evidence other people have taken, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
the use of this medication which is
a matter of public record that he | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
took this medication, | 0:03:11 | 0:03:22 | |
can be used to enhance performance
and they believe that is why it is | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
being taken. MPs say that Bradley
Wiggins and Team Sky used an | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
anti-inflammatory steroid that can
have legitimate medical use but it | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
can also help cyclists shed weight
while retaining pedal power. The | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
report also brings into question the
credibility of the team's founder, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
who launched Team Sky with an
ambition to be seen as whiter than | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
white, but is now embroiled in the
sport's grey areas. The buck stops | 0:03:41 | 0:03:48 | |
with Dave Brailsford. It is pretty
damning. I do not see how they can | 0:03:48 | 0:03:54 | |
remain in this position with all
that is going on. Dave Brailsford | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
and Team Sky denied using drugs for
competitive advantage, as does | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
Bradley Wiggins who said today, I
find it so sad that accusations can | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
be made, where people can be accused
of things they have never done, | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
which are then regarded as facts.
The details in this report came | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
about after MPs heard evidence at
Westminster, but the shock waves | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
have spread far and wide into the
world of cycling and so too, into | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
athletics. There was criticism for
UK athletics over bad record-keeping | 0:04:23 | 0:04:31 | |
regarding an injection of a
substance given to Mo Farah, but MPs | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
went further with Lord Coe, the
President of the athletics governing | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
body saying he provided misleading
answers over when he first knew | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
about corruption and doping
allegations regarding Russian | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
athletes. I was certainly not aware
of the specific allegations that | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
have been made around the corruption
of anti-doping processors. Lord Coe | 0:04:51 | 0:04:56 | |
has denied there was any discrepancy
between his evidence and what e-mail | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
saying he knew, or while the
committee has pointed to sweeping | 0:05:01 | 0:05:05 | |
reforms of the governance of the
sport. Elite sport has always been | 0:05:05 | 0:05:10 | |
judged by the finest of margins. It
seems its ethical margins are even | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
smaller. Richard Conway, BBC News. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
This afternoon Sir Bradley spoke
to the BBC in his first interview | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
since the report was published. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:22 | |
He told our sports editor Dan Roan
that the allegations have | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
made his life a living hell. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
The report by the Select Committee
says that you crossed the ethical | 0:05:30 | 0:05:36 | |
line, is that fair? Did you? Know,
we did not. Not at any time during | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
my career could be crossed the
ethical line. As I said before, I | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
had a medical condition, that I went
to a doctor. This has been treated | 0:05:46 | 0:05:51 | |
since back in 2003 when I was
diagnosed with it, through the | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
doctors at British cycling at that
time. This was the treatment that I | 0:05:54 | 0:06:00 | |
had been prescribed for that
particular occasion, which was seven | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
years ago now. Under specialist
supervision as well. And in place of | 0:06:04 | 0:06:10 | |
the roles of that time, you were
allowed to apply for use of this | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
medication. This was not a
medication that was abused in order | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
to gain an advantage. That is not
what your former coach said. He said | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
that your use of that drug was,
quote, unethical. That hurts me, | 0:06:21 | 0:06:28 | |
actually. Shane knows around that
time, exactly what and why I was | 0:06:28 | 0:06:36 | |
taking her medication. Only one
other time did you use the drug | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
other than the times we know about?
The report says, they suggest you | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
may have taken it nine times in four
years. There is, I do not know where | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
that has come from. I really would
like to know. This is an anonymous | 0:06:48 | 0:06:54 | |
source, an anonymous person. It does
not mean it is wrong. Your say Mrs a | 0:06:54 | 0:07:00 | |
light? I refute that 100%. Yes. This
is malicious. This is a direct... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:09 | |
This is someone trying to smear me.
Sitting here now, you can | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
categorically say that you did not
cheat? 100%. Never throughout my | 0:07:14 | 0:07:20 | |
career. No. I worked and have the
passion I had for this board for 15 | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
or 20 years. Jerseys, I am doing a
book, I have been writing a book, | 0:07:24 | 0:07:31 | |
about my love of the sport. To do
that to the sport... I mean, it is | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
just absurd. These allegations, it
is the worst thing to be accused of, | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
I said that before. It is also the
hardest thing to prove you have not | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
done. We are not dealing in the
legal system. I would have more | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
rights if I had murdered someone in
this process. I have been gagged for | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
the | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
last 18 months because there was a
legal investigation going on and I | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
could not say anything. We were
still waiting on this report. These | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
allegations had never been put to me
until now. I have only found out | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
today what I am being accused. The
whole jiffy bag thing was a | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
shambles. What was in it? God knows!
Your guess is as good as mine. That | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
package, as we have been told in the
houses of Parliament, contain the | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
drug. I had drugs that might -- I
have the drug that night. If they | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
were short of it and they needed
more, I was on at the whole week. I | 0:08:23 | 0:08:30 | |
am tried to do other things with my
life and the effect it has had, the | 0:08:30 | 0:08:36 | |
widespread effect it has had on the
family, it is horrific and I do not | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
know how I will pick up the pieces
with the kids and stuff and I am | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
left to do that as well as try and
salvage my reputation from this. I | 0:08:44 | 0:08:50 | |
would not wish it upon anyone. Sir
Bradley Wiggins there. | 0:08:50 | 0:09:00 | |
An aid convoy has delivered
supplies to people in | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
Syria's eastern Ghouta - | 0:09:03 | 0:09:04 | |
for the first time since a major
bombardment by pro-government forces | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
began two weeks ago. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
The United Nations says it hopes
the 46 lorries will provide food | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
to around 27,000 people. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:11 | |
Shelling and artillery fire have
continued in the region, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
despite a UN backed ceasefire. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
was there as the convoy set off
into eastern Ghouta - | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
heading for the town of Douma -
and sent this report. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:27 | |
46 lorries moved through some
of the most dangerous territory | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
around Damascus to get
into eastern Ghouta. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
The Syrians refused to let them take
in some surgical and trauma kits, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
but they carried food and medical
supplies for 27,500 people. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:43 | |
It was a start. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:45 | |
We need to be sending convoys
at least three times a week | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
to a besieged area such as eastern
Ghouta, where there are serious | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
shortages of medical equipment,
medical supplies, food and | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
nutrition for nearly 400,000 people
trapped on the inside. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
The lorries moved through the final
Syrian army checkpoint | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
at the edge of eastern Ghouta. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:08 | |
The fact this convoy has moved
shows Assad's confidence. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
Syrian armed forces are pressing
into eastern Ghouta | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
that way, of course,
with their Russian allies. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:21 | |
And if they win, and at the moment
that's the way it appears to be, | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
President Assad will have scored
a significant victory, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
because, for the first time
since the war started, | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
he will have secured his capital. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
The enclave has been controlled
by Islamist militias since 2012. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
Some militias are negotiating,
and there is talk of a deal, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
but not yet. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:46 | |
The UN's call for a ceasefire
has been ignored. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
Syria's president says the west is
lying about the humanitarian crisis. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
The UN Secretary-General calls
eastern Ghouta "hell on earth". | 0:11:03 | 0:11:04 | |
Allahu Akbar! | 0:11:04 | 0:11:11 | |
Casualties go to a network
of underground clinics. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
A doctor working in one of them
didn't think the convoy | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
would change anything. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:24 | |
What can a small convoy help us? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:29 | |
What can it benefit us? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:34 | |
It's including some food
and some limited materials. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
It doesn't have enough for a few
people for a few days. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:45 | |
It's a densely populated area
where there's no escape | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
from the grown-ups' war. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:48 | |
Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Damascus. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:56 | |
The BBC understands... | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
A former Russian spy
is in a critical condition | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
in hospital in Wiltshire,
along with a woman in her 30s, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
after they were both taken ill
at a shopping centre in Salisbury. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
Police say they'd both been exposed
to an unknown substance. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
A major incident was declared
and decontamination teams | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
were called in to the local
hospital, and part of the city. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Our Home Affairs correspondent
Tom Symonds reports from Salisbury. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
Last night, what happened here in
the centre of Salisbury resulted in | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
teams wearing full protective suits,
decontaminating the streets, where | 0:12:29 | 0:12:34 | |
several areas remain cordoned off.
Police, Fire Services and public | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
health authorities have declared a
major incident. The first signs that | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
something was wrong came yesterday
afternoon when a man and a woman | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
appeared severely unwell in the
Maltings area of central Salisbury. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
The emergency services were called
and the pair were taken to halt... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
To hospital. It was a couples, an
older guy and a younger girl. She | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
was leaning on him, it looked like
she had passed out of maybe. He was | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
doing some strange hand movements,
looking up to the sky. The man and | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
woman are being treated at Salisbury
District Hospital where they are in | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
a critical condition. She is thought
to be in her 30s. The BBC has been | 0:13:12 | 0:13:21 | |
told that he is Sergei Skirpal.
Russian. 66 years old. In 2006 he | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
was convicted of high treason in
Russia. The allegation was that he | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
was a British buy. In 2010, he was
pardoned by the Russian authorities | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
and came to this country in return
for the release of ten spies in the | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
US -- a British spy. The hospital
has had to reduce operations while | 0:13:38 | 0:13:43 | |
dealing with what appears to be a
suspected poisoning. Police arrived | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
at Sergei Skirpal's house in
Salisbury yesterday afternoon. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
Wiltshire Police said they were
investigating whether a crime had | 0:13:51 | 0:13:58 | |
been committed. I think it is fair
to say that there are more | 0:13:58 | 0:14:01 | |
unanswered questions than there are
facts this evening. It is a very | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
strange situation, a man in his 60s
and a woman in her 30s found | 0:14:03 | 0:14:08 | |
unconscious, on a bench in the
centre of Salisbury in a very busy | 0:14:08 | 0:14:15 | |
shopping area, with no visible signs
of injury. The police have said very | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
little about this, they have said
that they do not recognise the | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
reports that have been put out
tonight around various media outlets | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
that this was to do with the drug
fentanyl, but they also say they | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
continue to investigate, really,
initially, to determine whether a | 0:14:27 | 0:14:32 | |
crime has been committed. As far as
we know at this stage, the | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
counter-terrorism officers that
police are not involved. Thank you. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:49 | |
Our top story this evening. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:50 | |
Britain's most decorated Olympian,
Sir Bradley Wiggins, | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
has told the BBC he's not a cheat
after Mps accuse him | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
of crossing an ethical line. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
And I am in Hollywood, looking back
on what was a pretty good night for | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
British Rome at the Oscars. Coming
up on Sportsday on BBC News, we're | 0:15:03 | 0:15:08 | |
here from England rugby union head
coach Eddie Jones for the first time | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
since that train journey to forget
when he claims he was physically and | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
verbally abused. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
Last week, it was the big
freeze, with most of | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
the UK blanketed in snow. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:27 | |
This week, for most,
people it's the big thaw. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
But the rapid rise in temperatures
has left thousands of people | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
in England and Wales
without running water, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
because of burst pipes. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
Some, though, are still snowed in -
like villages in Cumbria, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
which could only be reached
today by helicopter. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
We'll hear from our correspondent
Danny Savage, who's | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
in Cumbria, shortly -
but first here's Emma Simpson | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
on the water shortage. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:53 | |
Grab it while you can. Emergency
water supplies have just arrived on | 0:15:53 | 0:15:58 | |
the streets of south London. They
are going fast in this part of North | 0:15:58 | 0:16:05 | |
Wales, too, and they've got the
bottles lined up near Exeter. It is | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
the fallout from the big freeze, as
temperatures, and tempers, rise. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:17 | |
7:30am they said that the water was
fixed. Nothing was fixed. I think | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
this is absolutely appalling, it is
shocking that there are such poor | 0:16:22 | 0:16:28 | |
communication, well, zero
communication. Leaks, lots of them. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
Frozen pipes bursting in
unprecedented numbers in many parts | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
of the UK over the last few days.
Darren from Carmarthenshire hasn't | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
had water since Thursday. I have
been getting rainwater from outside | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
and from my neighbour, so it is not
impossible but I would say the worst | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
thing is not being able to keep the
washing up in the kitchen clean, and | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
also keep myself clean, having a
shower everyday. Just a very basic | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
wash in a basin, you know, with cold
water. This mum's managed to buy in | 0:16:56 | 0:17:04 | |
supplies, for now. She's at home,
because her daughter's school closed | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
through lack of water too. You
definitely don't expect it to happen | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
in London, you assume it will be
fine and there will be no issues but | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
clearly there are. What has been the
most tricky thing so far? The | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
toilet, not being able to flush the
toilet, and washing your hands, | 0:17:22 | 0:17:26 | |
because I have a two-year-old, so
nappy changes and things like that. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
Some of the leaks may be small but
for water companies they are really | 0:17:29 | 0:17:34 | |
adding up. Since the fall over the
weekend, though we were expecting a | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
rise in leaks and bursts, the
reaction has been unprecedented and | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
we have seen a huge increase, about
500 million litres of extra Walker | 0:17:41 | 0:17:46 | |
has been pumped into the system.
Feeling the pressure in the | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
Midlands. Jaguar Land Rover has
stopped production at this plant, | 0:17:50 | 0:17:54 | |
and so too has Cadbury, to help
seven Trent water keep their taps | 0:17:54 | 0:17:58 | |
running for households and
vulnerable customers. Emma Simpson, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
BBC News for | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
stop here in Cumbria, the worst of
the stone stoploss note but the | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
problem keeps going on and on. This
is a minor road up in the hills | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
behind Kirby Stephen. There are lots
of houses still cut off. It is not | 0:18:14 | 0:18:17 | |
just a minor roads, it is the a
roads as well, so today here in this | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
county they took some pretty extreme
measures to get to some of cut off | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
communities. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
Getting to the cut-off communities
of the Pennines can only be done | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
on foot or quad bike. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
The Farmy Army are
still doing their bit. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
At the end of this high lane
is a handful of properties | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
At the end of this high lane
is a handful of properties, | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
which have been cut off days. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
The snow was up to that of the door
here with the window. | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
We had snow all over the front
windows, just stuck. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
It's like living in an igloo. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:58 | |
Jill and her husband have been
struggling in deep snow. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:06 | |
Their home was engulfed,
and when we got to them, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
they were running low on supplies. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
So this RAF Chinook over the home
was a welcome sight. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:17 | |
It has been doing the rounds
in Cumbria today, going | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
from isolated hamlets to cut off
farms offering help. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
They'd run out of heating oil here,
so the logs delivered | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
by the Marines were very welcome. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
What is people's reaction
when you drop in? | 0:19:26 | 0:19:28 | |
I think they are quite
surprised but I think | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
they are pleased to see us. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
We are here to assure them
that help is on its way. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
Obviously we are working
with the police and the Mountain | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
Rescue, and they are
doing their bit as well. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:39 | |
A few minutes later, they were away
to their next cut-off location. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:42 | |
Inside, Mick was already
putting the logs to use, | 0:19:42 | 0:19:44 | |
but he still can't get out. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
I'm waiting for an operation,
and could be called at any day, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
and the road is still blocked. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:50 | |
Elsewhere, the sudden
temperature drop killed | 0:19:50 | 0:19:51 | |
millions of sea creatures. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
In East Yorkshire, they have been
rescuing lobsters and reviving them | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
in saltwater at Fish markets. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
I think the industry will be fine,
but from a natural perspective | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
it is quite shocking what mother
nature can do. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:05 | |
The stormy weather also wrecked
roads in South Devon. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:10 | |
Back in the hills of northern
England, it is more of a community | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
effort to keep going. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:17 | |
It is the local farmers
and contractors who have got stuck | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
in and got the roads clear
for everybody to manage | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
to get stuff back in. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:23 | |
People beyond the drifts hope to be
reached by road rather than air over | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
the next couple of days. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
Danny Savage, BBC News, Cumbria. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
The Prime Minister is urging
developers to up their game | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
and build more homes in England. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
Theresa May said for young people
owning a property is now largely | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
unaffordable without "the bank
of mum and dad". | 0:20:42 | 0:20:44 | |
She said changes to planning rules -
which would penalise developers | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
who delay building on their land -
should help to deal | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
with the shortage of properties. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
But Labour described
the measures as 'feeble.' | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
Here's our Home Editor Mark Easton. | 0:20:52 | 0:21:00 | |
The Prime Minister donned the Hi-Vis
today, | 0:21:00 | 0:21:06 | |
determined to show she's
tackling what she describes | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
as a housing crisis,
but Theresa May's not the first | 0:21:08 | 0:21:10 | |
senior Tory to get her shoes
muddy on a building site. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
Remember him, and him, and him? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
Today, the PM had the big builders
and developers in her sights, | 0:21:16 | 0:21:24 | |
blaming some of them
for putting profit before | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
their patriotic duty
to | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
restore the dream of home ownership. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
The bonuses paid to the heads
of some of our biggest developers | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
are based not on the number of homes
they build, but on | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
their profit margins. | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
their profits or share price. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
I expect developers to do their Judy
Dunn duty. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:50 | |
Among possible planning reforms
is the idea that developers | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
with a reputation for not building
homes fast now be denied planning | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
permission by councils. | 0:21:55 | 0:22:03 | |
Not only do house-builders make
returns to their shareholders, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
we are also cross-subsidising almost
half of the affordable | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
housing in this | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
country every single
year, so we are doing | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
the job of government. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:20 | |
For Conservatives, home
ownership is central | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
to their vision for housing. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:30 | |
The Prime Minister today said
she met young voters at thee last | 0:22:33 | 0:22:36 | |
election angry to get on the ladder. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:40 | |
To even think about affording
something like that | 0:22:40 | 0:22:45 | |
because the price is so high anyway
so I don't know how I would get | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
the deposit together
in order to buy one, | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
even if it was available. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
But Mrs May also wants to keep
the Conservative core vote on side. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Hello, do you know
about Fair Oaks...? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:56 | |
People like these residents
in trueblue Surrey, | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
who are supported by their MP,
Environment Secretary Michael Gove, | 0:22:58 | 0:23:00 | |
in their opposition
to a new garden village. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
Planning reform worries
these campaigners. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
I think this will be a backward
step, and we are really worried | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
that these sort of developments,
which are really damaging | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
to the environment and the community
as a whole, will be pushed forward | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
against the people's wishes. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:21 | |
Some Conservatives want the Treasury
to relax borrowing rules so councils | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
and housing associations can build
many more genuinely | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
affordable homes. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Others see the priority
as protecting England's | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
precious green landscape. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
It is a surprise perhaps
the Prime Minister didn't think it | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
wise to wear a hard hat today. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:37 | |
Mark Easton, BBC News. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:44 | |
The British actor Gary Oldman
is celebrating after | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
winning his first Oscar. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
He picked up the award
for his portrayl of Sir Winston | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Churchill in Darkest Hour. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:51 | |
The British short film -
The Silent Child - | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
starring six-year-old Maisie Sly
from Swindon who's profoundly deaf - | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
also won an Oscar. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:57 | |
But the night belonged
to The Shape of Water, | 0:23:57 | 0:24:02 | |
which won four Oscars,
including best film. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
Our Arts Editor Will
Gompertz was there. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:11 | |
Denied began with host Jimmy Kimmel
using his opening monologue to round | 0:24:13 | 0:24:19 | |
up some of the elephants in the
room. Black panther and wonder woman | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
come I remember a time when the
major studios didn't believe a | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
minority or a woman could open a
superhero movie. The reason I | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
remember that time is because it was
March of last year. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
That joke set the agenda
for the evening. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
In the year of the 90th
Academy Awards, it was Time's Up | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
for a monocultural,
male-dominated movie business. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
It's a new day in Hollywood... | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
..said Jennifer Lawrence,
before announcing that the winner | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
of actress in a leading role was... | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
Frances McDormand - Three Billboards
Outside Ebbing, Missouri. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
So I'm hyperventilating
a little bit. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:55 | |
If I fall over, pick me up,
'cos I've got some things to say. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
If I may be so honoured to have
all the female nominees in every | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
category stand with me
in this room tonight. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
The actors... | 0:25:04 | 0:25:05 | |
Meryl, if you do it,
everybody else will. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:07 | |
Come on. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
The film-makers... | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
Look around, everybody. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:12 | |
Look around, ladies and gentlemen,
because we all have stories to tell | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
and projects we need to finance. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
The call for equality and tolerance
was made time and again, | 0:25:18 | 0:25:21 | |
and was perhaps best captured
by Guillermo del Toro, | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
whose film The Shape Of Water,
a story of misfits and outcasts, | 0:25:23 | 0:25:31 | |
won Best Picture,
and he, Best Director. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:33 | |
I am an immigrant
like many, many of you. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
The greatest thing our art does
and our industry does is to erase | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
the lines in the sand. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
We should continue doing that,
when the world tells us | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
to make them deeper. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
Roger A Deakins, Blade Runner... | 0:25:48 | 0:25:49 | |
There were long-awaited wins
for two British veterans. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
After 13 failed attempts,
the cinematographer Roger Deakins | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
finally converted a nomination
into a golden statue for his work | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
on Blade Runner 2049. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:57 | |
And for his portrayal
of Winston Churchill | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
in The Darkest Hour,
Gary Oldman won his first Oscar. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:01 | |
I say to my mother, thank
you for your love and support. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:06 | |
Put the kettle on. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
I'm bringing Oscar home. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:13 | |
The Silent Child, a British film
about a deaf four-year-old | 0:26:13 | 0:26:15 | |
played by Maisie Sly,
won the short film category. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:20 | |
I made a promise to our six-year-old
lead actress that I'd sign this | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
speech, but my hands are shaking
a little bit, so I apologise. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:29 | |
Deafness is a silent disability. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
You can't see it and it's
not life-threatening, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:39 | |
so I want to say the biggest
of thank-yous to the | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
Academy for allowing us | 0:26:41 | 0:26:42 | |
to put this in front
of a mainstream audience. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
Such a great story, isn't it, well
done. Some of the reaction in | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
Hollywood is that the Oscars were a
bit boring, there were no surprises, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:55 | |
but that really underplays what was
last night, which I think is a | 0:26:55 | 0:26:59 | |
seismic change, underlined by what
Jennifer Lawrence said, it is a new | 0:26:59 | 0:27:07 | |
day in Hollywood. I think it will be
much more multicultural, it will be | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
across agendas. We had our first
transgender presenter last night. I | 0:27:10 | 0:27:15 | |
think we are looking at a major
moment in history of the Oscars on | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
this 90th Academy Awards. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Time for a look at the weather... | 0:27:20 | 0:27:22 | |
Here's Matt Taylor. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:24 | |
A little bit quiet on the weather
front this week? | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
A little bit quiet on the weather
front this week? Thankfully, yes, | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
not quite out of the woods as far as
winter is concerned, Stolberg | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
assigned across Scotland, snow on
the ground, falling from the clouds | 0:27:33 | 0:27:36 | |
as well -- still signs of winter
across Scotland. For other parts of | 0:27:36 | 0:27:40 | |
the country it feels like we have
rolled out the red carpet for | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
spring. Nottingham, it has changed a
bit since that picture was taken. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:48 | |
Low pressure is with us. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:53 | |
Low pressure is with us. Further
south, outbreaks of rain rather than | 0:27:54 | 0:27:56 | |
snow. Wet evening across Wales,
Midlands and into northern England | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |
eventually. Overnight, snow over the
higher grounds. South East Anglia | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
not seen too much rain but
continuing to seek snow across the | 0:28:04 | 0:28:10 | |
Southern Grampians, rain around the
coast, temperatures not 1 million | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
miles away from freezing. A cool
start to tomorrow morning, touch of | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
frost here and there, clear skies,
some fog as well. Rain in early | 0:28:16 | 0:28:21 | |
northern England, the rest of Wales,
only a few drops of showers. Staying | 0:28:21 | 0:28:29 | |
cloudy across Scotland, rain and
hills now pushing its way | 0:28:29 | 0:28:31 | |
northwards. We could see a further
six inches of snow in parts of the | 0:28:31 | 0:28:36 | |
Grampians and the Highlands by the
end of the day, but temperatures to | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
the south-east are 12 or 13 degrees
has topped misses take you into | 0:28:38 | 0:28:43 | |
Tuesday night, tomorrow night into
Wednesday, some break around, still | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
snowing across northern Scotland, it
spreads its way across Orkney and | 0:28:46 | 0:28:51 | |
Shetland. For England and Wales, a
few more showers compared with | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
tomorrow, but fairly well scattered.
Most places will be dry after a | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
great start, sunny spells around,
