Britain's most decorated Olympian,

Sir Bradley Wiggins,

0:00:040:00:06

tells the BBC he's not a cheat

after MPs accuse him

0:00:060:00:09

of crossing an ethical line.

0:00:090:00:17

Sir Bradley strongly rejects

a report by MPs which accuses him

0:00:170:00:20

of using asthma drugs to enhance

performance and says life has

0:00:200:00:22

become a living hell.

0:00:220:00:25

This whole thing has just been,

you know, a complete mess

0:00:250:00:28

of innuendo and rumour and nothing

has been substantiated

0:00:280:00:30

and it is just...

0:00:300:00:31

I am having to deal

with the fallout of that now.

0:00:310:00:37

It's the first interview Sir Bradley

has given since these allegations -

0:00:370:00:40

we'll have more in a moment.

0:00:400:00:42

Also on the programme tonight.

0:00:420:00:44

Decontamination teams

deployed in Salisbury

0:00:440:00:45

after a former Russian spy -

exposed to an unknown substance -

0:00:450:00:48

is left critically ill.

0:00:480:00:51

The Prime Minister promises

to rewrite the rules on planning

0:00:520:00:55

as she urges developers

to up their game and build

0:00:550:00:57

more homes in England.

0:00:570:01:01

First the big freeze -

now the big thaw.

0:01:010:01:03

Lorry loads of bottled water

as burst pipes leave thousands

0:01:030:01:06

without running water.

0:01:060:01:07

But for others - helicopters

are the only way to get supplies in.

0:01:070:01:10

Some villages in Cumbria have been

cut off by snow for five days.

0:01:100:01:15

And Gary Oldman wins his first Oscar

for best actor in Darkest Hour

0:01:150:01:18

and thanks his 99-year-old mother.

0:01:180:01:23

I say, to my mother,

thank you for your love and support.

0:01:230:01:29

Put the kettle on.

0:01:290:01:30

I'm bringing Oscar home.

0:01:300:01:37

And coming up on Sportsday on BBC

News, Manchester City manager,

0:01:370:01:39

Pep Guardiola, accepts his FA charge

for wearing a yellow ribbon

0:01:390:01:42

in support of imprisoned

politicians in Catalonia.

0:01:420:01:48

Good evening and welcome

to the news at six.

0:02:050:02:08

Britain's most decorated Olympican,

Sir Bradley Wiggins has told the BBC

0:02:080:02:10

that he did not cheat

and that his life has been made

0:02:100:02:14

a living hell after he was accused

of using medical treatments

0:02:140:02:17

to enhance his performance.

0:02:170:02:18

In a damning report into doping

in sport, MPs say the champion

0:02:180:02:21

cyclist and his former employer

Team Sky crossed an ethical line -

0:02:210:02:23

though they did not break any rules

- by using powerful asthma drugs.

0:02:230:02:27

We'll hear from Sir Bradley

himself in a moment -

0:02:270:02:29

in his only interview

since the report was published -

0:02:290:02:31

but first here's Richard Conway.

0:02:310:02:39

He is a sporting icon, a Tour de

France winner and Britain's most

0:02:420:02:46

decorated Olympian but a damning

report has accused Sir Bradley

0:02:460:02:50

Wiggins of unethical behaviour over

his use of drugs that MPs say were

0:02:500:02:54

taken to boost performance and not

just for medical need.

As we make

0:02:540:02:59

clear, this is not a breach of the

rolls, it is a question about an

0:02:590:03:03

ethical line. Looking up the

evidence other people have taken,

0:03:030:03:07

the use of this medication which is

a matter of public record that he

0:03:070:03:11

took this medication,

0:03:110:03:22

can be used to enhance performance

and they believe that is why it is

0:03:240:03:27

being taken.

MPs say that Bradley

Wiggins and Team Sky used an

0:03:270:03:29

anti-inflammatory steroid that can

have legitimate medical use but it

0:03:290:03:31

can also help cyclists shed weight

while retaining pedal power. The

0:03:310:03:33

report also brings into question the

credibility of the team's founder,

0:03:330:03:37

who launched Team Sky with an

ambition to be seen as whiter than

0:03:370:03:41

white, but is now embroiled in the

sport's grey areas.

The buck stops

0:03:410:03:48

with Dave Brailsford. It is pretty

damning. I do not see how they can

0:03:480:03:54

remain in this position with all

that is going on.

Dave Brailsford

0:03:540:03:59

and Team Sky denied using drugs for

competitive advantage, as does

0:03:590:04:03

Bradley Wiggins who said today, I

find it so sad that accusations can

0:04:030:04:07

be made, where people can be accused

of things they have never done,

0:04:070:04:11

which are then regarded as facts.

The details in this report came

0:04:110:04:14

about after MPs heard evidence at

Westminster, but the shock waves

0:04:140:04:18

have spread far and wide into the

world of cycling and so too, into

0:04:180:04:23

athletics. There was criticism for

UK athletics over bad record-keeping

0:04:230:04:31

regarding an injection of a

substance given to Mo Farah, but MPs

0:04:310:04:34

went further with Lord Coe, the

President of the athletics governing

0:04:340:04:39

body saying he provided misleading

answers over when he first knew

0:04:390:04:44

about corruption and doping

allegations regarding Russian

0:04:440:04:46

athletes.

I was certainly not aware

of the specific allegations that

0:04:460:04:51

have been made around the corruption

of anti-doping processors.

Lord Coe

0:04:510:04:56

has denied there was any discrepancy

between his evidence and what e-mail

0:04:560:05:01

saying he knew, or while the

committee has pointed to sweeping

0:05:010:05:05

reforms of the governance of the

sport. Elite sport has always been

0:05:050:05:10

judged by the finest of margins. It

seems its ethical margins are even

0:05:100:05:14

smaller. Richard Conway, BBC News.

0:05:140:05:18

This afternoon Sir Bradley spoke

to the BBC in his first interview

0:05:180:05:21

since the report was published.

0:05:210:05:22

He told our sports editor Dan Roan

that the allegations have

0:05:220:05:25

made his life a living hell.

0:05:250:05:30

The report by the Select Committee

says that you crossed the ethical

0:05:300:05:36

line, is that fair?

Did you? Know,

we did not. Not at any time during

0:05:360:05:41

my career could be crossed the

ethical line. As I said before, I

0:05:410:05:46

had a medical condition, that I went

to a doctor. This has been treated

0:05:460:05:51

since back in 2003 when I was

diagnosed with it, through the

0:05:510:05:54

doctors at British cycling at that

time. This was the treatment that I

0:05:540:06:00

had been prescribed for that

particular occasion, which was seven

0:06:000:06:04

years ago now. Under specialist

supervision as well. And in place of

0:06:040:06:10

the roles of that time, you were

allowed to apply for use of this

0:06:100:06:15

medication. This was not a

medication that was abused in order

0:06:150:06:17

to gain an advantage.

That is not

what your former coach said. He said

0:06:170:06:21

that your use of that drug was,

quote, unethical.

That hurts me,

0:06:210:06:28

actually. Shane knows around that

time, exactly what and why I was

0:06:280:06:36

taking her medication.

Only one

other time did you use the drug

0:06:360:06:39

other than the times we know about?

The report says, they suggest you

0:06:390:06:44

may have taken it nine times in four

years.

There is, I do not know where

0:06:440:06:48

that has come from. I really would

like to know. This is an anonymous

0:06:480:06:54

source, an anonymous person.

It does

not mean it is wrong. Your say Mrs a

0:06:540:07:00

light?

I refute that 100%. Yes. This

is malicious. This is a direct...

0:07:000:07:09

This is someone trying to smear me.

Sitting here now, you can

0:07:090:07:14

categorically say that you did not

cheat?

100%. Never throughout my

0:07:140:07:20

career. No. I worked and have the

passion I had for this board for 15

0:07:200:07:24

or 20 years. Jerseys, I am doing a

book, I have been writing a book,

0:07:240:07:31

about my love of the sport. To do

that to the sport... I mean, it is

0:07:310:07:36

just absurd. These allegations, it

is the worst thing to be accused of,

0:07:360:07:39

I said that before. It is also the

hardest thing to prove you have not

0:07:390:07:44

done. We are not dealing in the

legal system. I would have more

0:07:440:07:48

rights if I had murdered someone in

this process. I have been gagged for

0:07:480:07:51

the

0:07:510:07:56

last 18 months because there was a

legal investigation going on and I

0:08:010:08:04

could not say anything. We were

still waiting on this report. These

0:08:040:08:06

allegations had never been put to me

until now. I have only found out

0:08:060:08:09

today what I am being accused.

The

whole jiffy bag thing was a

0:08:090:08:12

shambles.

What was in it? God knows!

Your guess is as good as mine. That

0:08:120:08:15

package, as we have been told in the

houses of Parliament, contain the

0:08:150:08:18

drug. I had drugs that might -- I

have the drug that night. If they

0:08:180:08:23

were short of it and they needed

more, I was on at the whole week. I

0:08:230:08:30

am tried to do other things with my

life and the effect it has had, the

0:08:300:08:36

widespread effect it has had on the

family, it is horrific and I do not

0:08:360:08:40

know how I will pick up the pieces

with the kids and stuff and I am

0:08:400:08:44

left to do that as well as try and

salvage my reputation from this. I

0:08:440:08:50

would not wish it upon anyone.

Sir

Bradley Wiggins there.

0:08:500:09:00

An aid convoy has delivered

supplies to people in

0:09:000:09:03

Syria's eastern Ghouta -

0:09:030:09:04

for the first time since a major

bombardment by pro-government forces

0:09:040:09:06

began two weeks ago.

0:09:060:09:07

The United Nations says it hopes

the 46 lorries will provide food

0:09:070:09:10

to around 27,000 people.

0:09:100:09:11

Shelling and artillery fire have

continued in the region,

0:09:110:09:13

despite a UN backed ceasefire.

0:09:130:09:15

Our Middle East Editor Jeremy Bowen

0:09:150:09:17

was there as the convoy set off

into eastern Ghouta -

0:09:170:09:19

heading for the town of Douma -

and sent this report.

0:09:190:09:27

46 lorries moved through some

of the most dangerous territory

0:09:270:09:30

around Damascus to get

into eastern Ghouta.

0:09:300:09:33

The Syrians refused to let them take

in some surgical and trauma kits,

0:09:330:09:36

but they carried food and medical

supplies for 27,500 people.

0:09:360:09:43

It was a start.

0:09:430:09:45

We need to be sending convoys

at least three times a week

0:09:450:09:48

to a besieged area such as eastern

Ghouta, where there are serious

0:09:480:09:51

shortages of medical equipment,

medical supplies, food and

0:09:510:09:54

nutrition for nearly 400,000 people

trapped on the inside.

0:09:540:09:57

The lorries moved through the final

Syrian army checkpoint

0:09:570:10:00

at the edge of eastern Ghouta.

0:10:000:10:08

The fact this convoy has moved

shows Assad's confidence.

0:10:090:10:11

Syrian armed forces are pressing

into eastern Ghouta

0:10:110:10:13

that way, of course,

with their Russian allies.

0:10:130:10:21

And if they win, and at the moment

that's the way it appears to be,

0:10:210:10:24

President Assad will have scored

a significant victory,

0:10:240:10:26

because, for the first time

since the war started,

0:10:260:10:28

he will have secured his capital.

0:10:280:10:33

The enclave has been controlled

by Islamist militias since 2012.

0:10:330:10:36

Some militias are negotiating,

and there is talk of a deal,

0:10:360:10:38

but not yet.

0:10:380:10:46

The UN's call for a ceasefire

has been ignored.

0:10:580:11:00

Syria's president says the west is

lying about the humanitarian crisis.

0:11:000:11:03

The UN Secretary-General calls

eastern Ghouta "hell on earth".

0:11:030:11:04

Allahu Akbar!

0:11:040:11:11

Casualties go to a network

of underground clinics.

0:11:110:11:13

A doctor working in one of them

didn't think the convoy

0:11:130:11:16

would change anything.

0:11:160:11:24

What can a small convoy help us?

0:11:260:11:29

What can it benefit us?

0:11:290:11:34

It's including some food

and some limited materials.

0:11:340:11:36

It doesn't have enough for a few

people for a few days.

0:11:360:11:45

It's a densely populated area

where there's no escape

0:11:450:11:47

from the grown-ups' war.

0:11:470:11:48

Jeremy Bowen, BBC News, Damascus.

0:11:480:11:56

The BBC understands...

0:12:030:12:05

A former Russian spy

is in a critical condition

0:12:050:12:07

in hospital in Wiltshire,

along with a woman in her 30s,

0:12:070:12:10

after they were both taken ill

at a shopping centre in Salisbury.

0:12:100:12:12

Police say they'd both been exposed

to an unknown substance.

0:12:120:12:15

A major incident was declared

and decontamination teams

0:12:150:12:17

were called in to the local

hospital, and part of the city.

0:12:170:12:20

Our Home Affairs correspondent

Tom Symonds reports from Salisbury.

0:12:200:12:25

Last night, what happened here in

the centre of Salisbury resulted in

0:12:250:12:29

teams wearing full protective suits,

decontaminating the streets, where

0:12:290:12:34

several areas remain cordoned off.

Police, Fire Services and public

0:12:340:12:39

health authorities have declared a

major incident. The first signs that

0:12:390:12:43

something was wrong came yesterday

afternoon when a man and a woman

0:12:430:12:47

appeared severely unwell in the

Maltings area of central Salisbury.

0:12:470:12:51

The emergency services were called

and the pair were taken to halt...

0:12:510:12:56

To hospital. It was a couples, an

older guy and a younger girl. She

0:12:560:13:00

was leaning on him, it looked like

she had passed out of maybe. He was

0:13:000:13:04

doing some strange hand movements,

looking up to the sky.

The man and

0:13:040:13:08

woman are being treated at Salisbury

District Hospital where they are in

0:13:080:13:12

a critical condition. She is thought

to be in her 30s. The BBC has been

0:13:120:13:21

told that he is Sergei Skirpal.

Russian. 66 years old. In 2006 he

0:13:210:13:25

was convicted of high treason in

Russia. The allegation was that he

0:13:250:13:29

was a British buy. In 2010, he was

pardoned by the Russian authorities

0:13:290:13:33

and came to this country in return

for the release of ten spies in the

0:13:330:13:38

US -- a British spy. The hospital

has had to reduce operations while

0:13:380:13:43

dealing with what appears to be a

suspected poisoning. Police arrived

0:13:430:13:47

at Sergei Skirpal's house in

Salisbury yesterday afternoon.

0:13:470:13:51

Wiltshire Police said they were

investigating whether a crime had

0:13:510:13:58

been committed. I think it is fair

to say that there are more

0:13:580:14:01

unanswered questions than there are

facts this evening. It is a very

0:14:010:14:03

strange situation, a man in his 60s

and a woman in her 30s found

0:14:030:14:08

unconscious, on a bench in the

centre of Salisbury in a very busy

0:14:080:14:15

shopping area, with no visible signs

of injury. The police have said very

0:14:150:14:18

little about this, they have said

that they do not recognise the

0:14:180:14:20

reports that have been put out

tonight around various media outlets

0:14:200:14:23

that this was to do with the drug

fentanyl, but they also say they

0:14:230:14:27

continue to investigate, really,

initially, to determine whether a

0:14:270:14:32

crime has been committed. As far as

we know at this stage, the

0:14:320:14:36

counter-terrorism officers that

police are not involved. Thank you.

0:14:360:14:49

Our top story this evening.

0:14:490:14:50

Britain's most decorated Olympian,

Sir Bradley Wiggins,

0:14:500:14:53

has told the BBC he's not a cheat

after Mps accuse him

0:14:530:14:56

of crossing an ethical line.

0:14:560:14:59

And I am in Hollywood, looking back

on what was a pretty good night for

0:14:590:15:03

British Rome at the Oscars. Coming

up on Sportsday on BBC News, we're

0:15:030:15:08

here from England rugby union head

coach Eddie Jones for the first time

0:15:080:15:12

since that train journey to forget

when he claims he was physically and

0:15:120:15:16

verbally abused.

0:15:160:15:20

Last week, it was the big

freeze, with most of

0:15:230:15:26

the UK blanketed in snow.

0:15:260:15:27

This week, for most,

people it's the big thaw.

0:15:270:15:29

But the rapid rise in temperatures

has left thousands of people

0:15:290:15:32

in England and Wales

without running water,

0:15:320:15:33

because of burst pipes.

0:15:330:15:36

Some, though, are still snowed in -

like villages in Cumbria,

0:15:360:15:39

which could only be reached

today by helicopter.

0:15:390:15:42

We'll hear from our correspondent

Danny Savage, who's

0:15:420:15:44

in Cumbria, shortly -

but first here's Emma Simpson

0:15:440:15:46

on the water shortage.

0:15:460:15:53

Grab it while you can. Emergency

water supplies have just arrived on

0:15:530:15:58

the streets of south London. They

are going fast in this part of North

0:15:580:16:05

Wales, too, and they've got the

bottles lined up near Exeter. It is

0:16:050:16:09

the fallout from the big freeze, as

temperatures, and tempers, rise.

0:16:090:16:17

7:30am they said that the water was

fixed. Nothing was fixed.

I think

0:16:170:16:22

this is absolutely appalling, it is

shocking that there are such poor

0:16:220:16:28

communication, well, zero

communication.

Leaks, lots of them.

0:16:280:16:32

Frozen pipes bursting in

unprecedented numbers in many parts

0:16:320:16:35

of the UK over the last few days.

Darren from Carmarthenshire hasn't

0:16:350:16:40

had water since Thursday.

I have

been getting rainwater from outside

0:16:400:16:45

and from my neighbour, so it is not

impossible but I would say the worst

0:16:450:16:49

thing is not being able to keep the

washing up in the kitchen clean, and

0:16:490:16:52

also keep myself clean, having a

shower everyday. Just a very basic

0:16:520:16:56

wash in a basin, you know, with cold

water.

This mum's managed to buy in

0:16:560:17:04

supplies, for now. She's at home,

because her daughter's school closed

0:17:040:17:09

through lack of water too.

You

definitely don't expect it to happen

0:17:090:17:13

in London, you assume it will be

fine and there will be no issues but

0:17:130:17:17

clearly there are.

What has been the

most tricky thing so far?

The

0:17:170:17:22

toilet, not being able to flush the

toilet, and washing your hands,

0:17:220:17:26

because I have a two-year-old, so

nappy changes and things like that.

0:17:260:17:29

Some of the leaks may be small but

for water companies they are really

0:17:290:17:34

adding up.

Since the fall over the

weekend, though we were expecting a

0:17:340:17:38

rise in leaks and bursts, the

reaction has been unprecedented and

0:17:380:17:41

we have seen a huge increase, about

500 million litres of extra Walker

0:17:410:17:46

has been pumped into the system.

Feeling the pressure in the

0:17:460:17:50

Midlands. Jaguar Land Rover has

stopped production at this plant,

0:17:500:17:54

and so too has Cadbury, to help

seven Trent water keep their taps

0:17:540:17:58

running for households and

vulnerable customers. Emma Simpson,

0:17:580:18:03

BBC News for

0:18:030:18:06

stop here in Cumbria, the worst of

the stone stoploss note but the

0:18:060:18:10

problem keeps going on and on. This

is a minor road up in the hills

0:18:100:18:14

behind Kirby Stephen. There are lots

of houses still cut off. It is not

0:18:140:18:17

just a minor roads, it is the a

roads as well, so today here in this

0:18:170:18:21

county they took some pretty extreme

measures to get to some of cut off

0:18:210:18:24

communities.

0:18:240:18:27

Getting to the cut-off communities

of the Pennines can only be done

0:18:270:18:30

on foot or quad bike.

0:18:300:18:35

The Farmy Army are

still doing their bit.

0:18:350:18:38

At the end of this high lane

is a handful of properties

0:18:380:18:41

At the end of this high lane

is a handful of properties,

0:18:410:18:45

which have been cut off days.

0:18:450:18:46

The snow was up to that of the door

here with the window.

0:18:460:18:49

We had snow all over the front

windows, just stuck.

0:18:490:18:52

It's like living in an igloo.

0:18:520:18:58

Jill and her husband have been

struggling in deep snow.

0:18:580:19:06

Their home was engulfed,

and when we got to them,

0:19:110:19:13

they were running low on supplies.

0:19:130:19:16

So this RAF Chinook over the home

was a welcome sight.

0:19:160:19:17

It has been doing the rounds

in Cumbria today, going

0:19:170:19:20

from isolated hamlets to cut off

farms offering help.

0:19:200:19:22

They'd run out of heating oil here,

so the logs delivered

0:19:220:19:25

by the Marines were very welcome.

0:19:250:19:26

What is people's reaction

when you drop in?

0:19:260:19:28

I think they are quite

surprised but I think

0:19:280:19:30

they are pleased to see us.

0:19:300:19:32

We are here to assure them

that help is on its way.

0:19:320:19:34

Obviously we are working

with the police and the Mountain

0:19:340:19:37

Rescue, and they are

doing their bit as well.

0:19:370:19:39

A few minutes later, they were away

to their next cut-off location.

0:19:390:19:42

Inside, Mick was already

putting the logs to use,

0:19:420:19:44

but he still can't get out.

0:19:440:19:45

I'm waiting for an operation,

and could be called at any day,

0:19:450:19:48

and the road is still blocked.

0:19:480:19:50

Elsewhere, the sudden

temperature drop killed

0:19:500:19:51

millions of sea creatures.

0:19:510:19:52

In East Yorkshire, they have been

rescuing lobsters and reviving them

0:19:520:19:55

in saltwater at Fish markets.

0:19:550:19:57

I think the industry will be fine,

but from a natural perspective

0:19:570:20:00

it is quite shocking what mother

nature can do.

0:20:000:20:05

The stormy weather also wrecked

roads in South Devon.

0:20:050:20:10

Back in the hills of northern

England, it is more of a community

0:20:100:20:13

effort to keep going.

0:20:130:20:17

It is the local farmers

and contractors who have got stuck

0:20:170:20:19

in and got the roads clear

for everybody to manage

0:20:190:20:22

to get stuff back in.

0:20:220:20:23

People beyond the drifts hope to be

reached by road rather than air over

0:20:230:20:26

the next couple of days.

0:20:260:20:28

Danny Savage, BBC News, Cumbria.

0:20:280:20:32

The Prime Minister is urging

developers to up their game

0:20:320:20:35

and build more homes in England.

0:20:350:20:39

Theresa May said for young people

owning a property is now largely

0:20:390:20:42

unaffordable without "the bank

of mum and dad".

0:20:420:20:44

She said changes to planning rules -

which would penalise developers

0:20:440:20:47

who delay building on their land -

should help to deal

0:20:470:20:49

with the shortage of properties.

0:20:490:20:51

But Labour described

the measures as 'feeble.'

0:20:510:20:52

Here's our Home Editor Mark Easton.

0:20:520:21:00

The Prime Minister donned the Hi-Vis

today,

0:21:000:21:06

determined to show she's

tackling what she describes

0:21:060:21:08

as a housing crisis,

but Theresa May's not the first

0:21:080:21:10

senior Tory to get her shoes

muddy on a building site.

0:21:100:21:13

Remember him, and him, and him?

0:21:130:21:16

Today, the PM had the big builders

and developers in her sights,

0:21:160:21:24

blaming some of them

for putting profit before

0:21:260:21:27

their patriotic duty

to

0:21:270:21:29

restore the dream of home ownership.

0:21:290:21:30

The bonuses paid to the heads

of some of our biggest developers

0:21:300:21:33

are based not on the number of homes

they build, but on

0:21:330:21:36

their profit margins.

0:21:360:21:38

their profits or share price.

0:21:380:21:41

I

expect developers to do their Judy

Dunn duty.

0:21:410:21:50

Among possible planning reforms

is the idea that developers

0:21:500:21:52

with a reputation for not building

homes fast now be denied planning

0:21:520:21:55

permission by councils.

0:21:550:22:03

Not only do house-builders make

returns to their shareholders,

0:22:090:22:14

we are also cross-subsidising almost

half of the affordable

0:22:140:22:16

housing in this

0:22:160:22:17

country every single

year, so we are doing

0:22:170:22:19

the job of government.

0:22:190:22:20

For Conservatives, home

ownership is central

0:22:200:22:22

to their vision for housing.

0:22:220:22:30

The Prime Minister today said

she met young voters at thee last

0:22:330:22:36

election angry to get on the ladder.

0:22:360:22:40

To even think about affording

something like that

0:22:400:22:45

because the price is so high anyway

so I don't know how I would get

0:22:450:22:48

the deposit together

in order to buy one,

0:22:480:22:50

even if it was available.

0:22:500:22:52

But Mrs May also wants to keep

the Conservative core vote on side.

0:22:520:22:55

Hello, do you know

about Fair Oaks...?

0:22:550:22:56

People like these residents

in trueblue Surrey,

0:22:560:22:58

who are supported by their MP,

Environment Secretary Michael Gove,

0:22:580:23:00

in their opposition

to a new garden village.

0:23:000:23:02

Planning reform worries

these campaigners.

0:23:020:23:06

I think this will be a backward

step, and we are really worried

0:23:060:23:10

that these sort of developments,

which are really damaging

0:23:100:23:12

to the environment and the community

as a whole, will be pushed forward

0:23:120:23:15

against the people's wishes.

0:23:150:23:21

Some Conservatives want the Treasury

to relax borrowing rules so councils

0:23:210:23:24

and housing associations can build

many more genuinely

0:23:240:23:26

affordable homes.

0:23:260:23:29

Others see the priority

as protecting England's

0:23:290:23:31

precious green landscape.

0:23:310:23:33

It is a surprise perhaps

the Prime Minister didn't think it

0:23:330:23:36

wise to wear a hard hat today.

0:23:360:23:37

Mark Easton, BBC News.

0:23:370:23:44

The British actor Gary Oldman

is celebrating after

0:23:440:23:46

winning his first Oscar.

0:23:460:23:47

He picked up the award

for his portrayl of Sir Winston

0:23:470:23:50

Churchill in Darkest Hour.

0:23:500:23:51

The British short film -

The Silent Child -

0:23:510:23:53

starring six-year-old Maisie Sly

from Swindon who's profoundly deaf -

0:23:530:23:56

also won an Oscar.

0:23:560:23:57

But the night belonged

to The Shape of Water,

0:23:570:24:02

which won four Oscars,

including best film.

0:24:020:24:04

Our Arts Editor Will

Gompertz was there.

0:24:040:24:11

Denied began with host Jimmy Kimmel

using his opening monologue to round

0:24:130:24:19

up some of the elephants in the

room.

Black panther and wonder woman

0:24:190:24:24

come I remember a time when the

major studios didn't believe a

0:24:240:24:29

minority or a woman could open a

superhero movie. The reason I

0:24:290:24:32

remember that time is because it was

March of last year.

0:24:320:24:35

That joke set the agenda

for the evening.

0:24:350:24:37

In the year of the 90th

Academy Awards, it was Time's Up

0:24:370:24:40

for a monocultural,

male-dominated movie business.

0:24:400:24:42

It's a new day in Hollywood...

0:24:420:24:43

..said Jennifer Lawrence,

before announcing that the winner

0:24:430:24:45

of actress in a leading role was...

0:24:450:24:47

Frances McDormand - Three Billboards

Outside Ebbing, Missouri.

0:24:470:24:49

So I'm hyperventilating

a little bit.

0:24:490:24:55

If I fall over, pick me up,

'cos I've got some things to say.

0:24:550:24:59

If I may be so honoured to have

all the female nominees in every

0:24:590:25:02

category stand with me

in this room tonight.

0:25:020:25:04

The actors...

0:25:040:25:05

Meryl, if you do it,

everybody else will.

0:25:050:25:07

Come on.

0:25:070:25:09

The film-makers...

0:25:090:25:10

Look around, everybody.

0:25:100:25:12

Look around, ladies and gentlemen,

because we all have stories to tell

0:25:120:25:15

and projects we need to finance.

0:25:150:25:18

The call for equality and tolerance

was made time and again,

0:25:180:25:21

and was perhaps best captured

by Guillermo del Toro,

0:25:210:25:23

whose film The Shape Of Water,

a story of misfits and outcasts,

0:25:230:25:31

won Best Picture,

and he, Best Director.

0:25:320:25:33

I am an immigrant

like many, many of you.

0:25:330:25:36

The greatest thing our art does

and our industry does is to erase

0:25:360:25:39

the lines in the sand.

0:25:390:25:42

We should continue doing that,

when the world tells us

0:25:420:25:45

to make them deeper.

0:25:450:25:48

Roger A Deakins, Blade Runner...

0:25:480:25:49

There were long-awaited wins

for two British veterans.

0:25:490:25:51

After 13 failed attempts,

the cinematographer Roger Deakins

0:25:510:25:53

finally converted a nomination

into a golden statue for his work

0:25:530:25:56

on Blade Runner 2049.

0:25:560:25:57

And for his portrayal

of Winston Churchill

0:25:570:25:58

in The Darkest Hour,

Gary Oldman won his first Oscar.

0:25:580:26:01

I say to my mother, thank

you for your love and support.

0:26:010:26:06

Put the kettle on.

0:26:060:26:10

I'm bringing Oscar home.

0:26:100:26:13

The Silent Child, a British film

about a deaf four-year-old

0:26:130:26:15

played by Maisie Sly,

won the short film category.

0:26:150:26:20

I made a promise to our six-year-old

lead actress that I'd sign this

0:26:200:26:24

speech, but my hands are shaking

a little bit, so I apologise.

0:26:240:26:29

Deafness is a silent disability.

0:26:290:26:32

You can't see it and it's

not life-threatening,

0:26:320:26:39

so I want to say the biggest

of thank-yous to the

0:26:390:26:41

Academy for allowing us

0:26:410:26:42

to put this in front

of a mainstream audience.

0:26:420:26:46

Such a great story, isn't it, well

done. Some of the reaction in

0:26:460:26:51

Hollywood is that the Oscars were a

bit boring, there were no surprises,

0:26:510:26:55

but that really underplays what was

last night, which I think is a

0:26:550:26:59

seismic change, underlined by what

Jennifer Lawrence said, it is a new

0:26:590:27:07

day in Hollywood. I think it will be

much more multicultural, it will be

0:27:070:27:10

across agendas. We had our first

transgender presenter last night. I

0:27:100:27:15

think we are looking at a major

moment in history of the Oscars on

0:27:150:27:18

this 90th Academy Awards.

0:27:180:27:20

Time for a look at the weather...

0:27:200:27:22

Here's Matt Taylor.

0:27:220:27:24

A little bit quiet on the weather

front this week?

0:27:240:27:27

A little bit quiet on the weather

front this week? Thankfully, yes,

0:27:270:27:29

not quite out of the woods as far as

winter is concerned, Stolberg

0:27:290:27:33

assigned across Scotland, snow on

the ground, falling from the clouds

0:27:330:27:36

as well -- still signs of winter

across Scotland. For other parts of

0:27:360:27:40

the country it feels like we have

rolled out the red carpet for

0:27:400:27:43

spring. Nottingham, it has changed a

bit since that picture was taken.

0:27:430:27:48

Low pressure is with us.

0:27:480:27:53

Low pressure is with us. Further

south, outbreaks of rain rather than

0:27:540:27:56

snow. Wet evening across Wales,

Midlands and into northern England

0:27:560:28:01

eventually. Overnight, snow over the

higher grounds. South East Anglia

0:28:010:28:04

not seen too much rain but

continuing to seek snow across the

0:28:040:28:10

Southern Grampians, rain around the

coast, temperatures not 1 million

0:28:100:28:12

miles away from freezing. A cool

start to tomorrow morning, touch of

0:28:120:28:16

frost here and there, clear skies,

some fog as well. Rain in early

0:28:160:28:21

northern England, the rest of Wales,

only a few drops of showers. Staying

0:28:210:28:29

cloudy across Scotland, rain and

hills now pushing its way

0:28:290:28:31

northwards. We could see a further

six inches of snow in parts of the

0:28:310:28:36

Grampians and the Highlands by the

end of the day, but temperatures to

0:28:360:28:38

the south-east are 12 or 13 degrees

has topped misses take you into

0:28:380:28:43

Tuesday night, tomorrow night into

Wednesday, some break around, still

0:28:430:28:46

snowing across northern Scotland, it

spreads its way across Orkney and

0:28:460:28:51

Shetland. For England and Wales, a

few more showers compared with

0:28:510:28:55

tomorrow, but fairly well scattered.

Most places will be dry after a

0:28:550:28:58

great start, sunny spells around,

although temper just down a little

0:28:580:29:02

bit on how we started the week, but

another cool start Thursday morning,

0:29:020:29:07

early mist and fog clears. Chance of

someone pushing through the Channel

0:29:070:29:10

Islands, snow in the Highlands and

Hebrides, in between one or two

0:29:100:29:13

showers, many places will be dry.

0:29:130:29:18

That's all from the BBC News at Six

- so it's goodbye from me -
