:00:00. > :00:00.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:00:07. > :00:10.The Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she was "thrown under

:00:11. > :00:18.A draft independent report - leaked to the Daily Mail -

:00:19. > :00:20.criticises what it calls the dysfunctional and inept

:00:21. > :00:30.All I want is the truth to be out there, because it is the truth and

:00:31. > :00:41.that is what people should know. The United Nations warns

:00:42. > :00:48.that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945

:00:49. > :00:51.as millions of people face starvation and famine

:00:52. > :00:53.in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts -

:00:54. > :00:55.computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds

:00:56. > :00:59.is to be made illegal with law We'll meet the Syrian refugee

:01:00. > :01:07.who escaped the war and is now And in sport, Wales knock down

:01:08. > :01:16.Ireland's hopes of winning the Six Nations as George North

:01:17. > :01:19.hands England the chance to retain their crown today,

:01:20. > :01:35.if they can beat Scotland. Good morning. A cloudy start right

:01:36. > :01:40.across the country, but a mild day. We will have some sunshine today, at

:01:41. > :01:41.the top and tail of the country. I'll have all the details coming up.

:01:42. > :01:47.The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown

:01:48. > :01:50.under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport.

:01:51. > :01:52.A leaked report published in the Daily Mail claims

:01:53. > :01:55.British Cycling "sanitised" its own inquiry into the claims.

:01:56. > :01:58.The Olympian told the BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed

:01:59. > :02:14.Representing Great Britain, Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner who

:02:15. > :02:18.became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations of sexism last

:02:19. > :02:24.year plunged British Cycling into crisis. It has been really hard. I

:02:25. > :02:29.have been really low. Nothing has been in control, everything has been

:02:30. > :02:34.out of my control. I had nobody to turn to within the organisation. I

:02:35. > :02:38.was just sort of left on my own. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped a

:02:39. > :02:41.Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year, was found to

:02:42. > :02:45.have used sexist language towards her, it was cleared of eight of nine

:02:46. > :02:49.allegations against her. He resigned, but denies wrongdoing.

:02:50. > :02:53.According to a draft report of an investigation leaked to the Daily

:02:54. > :02:55.Mail, findings of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were

:02:56. > :03:02.reversed by the richest cycling's board. -- British Cycling's board. I

:03:03. > :03:07.am relieved that the truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar

:03:08. > :03:12.to post just to get this, and to see that it was a cover-up is huge. In a

:03:13. > :03:15.statement, British Cycling admitted it did not pay sufficient care and

:03:16. > :03:19.attention to the well-being of staff, but it said that reforms were

:03:20. > :03:23.under way. Those people who say it is sour grapes because you are not

:03:24. > :03:27.selected for Rio, you will have heard this argument is, what is your

:03:28. > :03:31.response to that? When people say it is bitterness, that is all they have

:03:32. > :03:35.to say about me. If people knew me and saw what I was doing with my

:03:36. > :03:39.life and how I have turned things around, they would know the truth.

:03:40. > :03:42.They would know that I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work in

:03:43. > :03:46.cycling coaching again? From my experiences, no. Varnish says she is

:03:47. > :03:48.now considering whether to sue British Cycling for unfettered

:03:49. > :03:52.isthmus. Her fight for justice continues. -- unfair dismissal.

:03:53. > :03:55.Later, we'll be discussing this with Commonwealth champion and team

:03:56. > :04:00.The world is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945,

:04:01. > :04:03.with more than 20 million people at risk of starvation and famine.

:04:04. > :04:05.That's according to the United Nation's humanitarian chief

:04:06. > :04:08.Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded for help for people in Yemen,

:04:09. > :04:29.A child called Fatima. She lives in Yemen, where two thirds of the

:04:30. > :04:36.population need food aid, and 7 billion hungry. The United Nations

:04:37. > :04:39.has been told the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis

:04:40. > :04:44.for the organisation since it was founded in 1945. We stand at a

:04:45. > :04:48.critical point in our history. Already, at the beginning of the

:04:49. > :04:51.year, we are facing the largest Unitarian crisis since the creation

:04:52. > :04:57.of the United Nations. -- humanitarian crisis. Now, more than

:04:58. > :05:01.20 million people across four countries face starvation and

:05:02. > :05:04.famine. In South Sudan, more than 1 million children are acutely

:05:05. > :05:09.malnourished, and there is a cholera outbreak to deal with. The UN says

:05:10. > :05:13.billions of dollars is needed from the international community to feed

:05:14. > :05:17.the hungry, but so far only a fraction of that money has got

:05:18. > :05:25.through. The overall requirement for South Sudan this year stands at 1.6

:05:26. > :05:31.early in dollars -- $1.6 billion. As of now, we have received 9.3% of

:05:32. > :05:38.that amount, and more funding is urgently needed. Some food aid is

:05:39. > :05:43.being delivered. The United Nations says famine can be averted, but the

:05:44. > :05:45.world needs to dig deep into its pockets, right now.

:05:46. > :05:47.Pope Francis has said the Catholic Church should consider

:05:48. > :05:49.allowing married men to become priests.

:05:50. > :05:52.Speaking to a German newspaper, he said lifting the ban on married

:05:53. > :05:54.men being ordained would only apply in specific circumstances,

:05:55. > :06:00.like remote areas of the world where priests are in short supply.

:06:01. > :06:03.Police say a prisoner who climbed onto a roof

:06:04. > :06:06.at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset before taking his clothes off

:06:07. > :06:08.and starting a fire, has been brought back

:06:09. > :06:11.The blaze is understood to have caused extensive damage

:06:12. > :06:18.The inmate, who was protesting about changes to the prison regime,

:06:19. > :06:26.Protests in South Korea have left two people dead and dozens more

:06:27. > :06:29.injured after thousands took to the streets following the removal

:06:30. > :06:31.Park Guen-hye was ousted from office yesterday

:06:32. > :06:35.Steve Evans joins us live from the capital.

:06:36. > :06:58.We have seen these clashes and many, many protesters. What is happening

:06:59. > :07:08.now? This is a pro- park protest. -- pro-Park. A group like this that

:07:09. > :07:15.make INAUDIBLE. Just beyond... INAUDIBLE. Steve, I think we will

:07:16. > :07:18.have to stop you why we sort out your microphone. Obviously a couple

:07:19. > :07:22.of technical problems with the sound there in South Korea. We will get

:07:23. > :07:24.that sorted and returned to Steve shortly.

:07:25. > :07:27.A federal judge in the United States has refused to issue an emergency

:07:28. > :07:29.order to halt President Trump's revised travel ban.

:07:30. > :07:32.It follows an an attempt by Washington state

:07:33. > :07:34.to have the new restrictions put on hold.

:07:35. > :07:37.The President dismissed Judge James Robart as a "so-called

:07:38. > :07:39.judge" when he ruled against his first attempt

:07:40. > :07:41.to restrict travel to the US from seven predominantely

:07:42. > :07:44.He has not yet ruled on the new restrictions.

:07:45. > :07:47.Online touts who bulk buy tickets and sell them for inflated prices

:07:48. > :07:49.will face unlimited fines under government plans.

:07:50. > :07:53.An amendment to the Digital Economy Bill means it will be illegal to use

:07:54. > :07:55.bots to bypass limits on the maximum amount of tickets that can be

:07:56. > :08:16.Tickets to see some of our favourite artist can sell out in just a matter

:08:17. > :08:19.of minutes. -- artists. But thousands of those tickets will not

:08:20. > :08:28.be going to fans. Instead, they are being purchased by bots. Used by

:08:29. > :08:32.professional touts, the software can grab hundreds of tickets in one go.

:08:33. > :08:35.Within hours, they end up on secondary websites for hundreds if

:08:36. > :08:40.not thousands of pounds more than face value. This is currently legal,

:08:41. > :08:45.but now the government is taking action. Now touts to use this

:08:46. > :08:49.software will face unlimited fines, while resale sites will face harsher

:08:50. > :08:52.measures if they do not prove they are taking action to deal with the

:08:53. > :08:56.touts. It is hoped these measures will curb the growing power of

:08:57. > :08:58.secondary websites and make it easier for genuine fans to get their

:08:59. > :09:01.hands on a reasonably priced ticket. Experts have revealed

:09:02. > :09:03.that the author Jane Austen was virtually blind towards the end

:09:04. > :09:05.of her life, possibly Tests on her glasses show that

:09:06. > :09:11.medicine she had been taking could have contained arsenic,

:09:12. > :09:29.which may have contributed For one of history's greatest

:09:30. > :09:35.writers, just reading her own novels would have been very difficult

:09:36. > :09:39.without these. Jane Austen's spectacles have been at the British

:09:40. > :09:43.library for 20 years, but only now can they bring focus to her life.

:09:44. > :09:47.Back in the early 19th century there were prescriptions, similar to what

:09:48. > :09:51.we have today. So what we did was have somebody bring in a portable

:09:52. > :09:57.lends me to so we could very, very carefully haven't examined. --

:09:58. > :10:03.lensmeter. Austen was longsighted. First there are low perception, but

:10:04. > :10:06.her eyesight deteriorated. The final pair revealed that she would have

:10:07. > :10:09.had great trouble reading and writing. This could help reveal the

:10:10. > :10:13.mystery of why she died so young. The possibility of her being

:10:14. > :10:16.poisoned accidentally with a heavy metal such as arsenic. We know now

:10:17. > :10:20.that arsenic poisoning can cause cataracts. Arsenic was often put

:10:21. > :10:23.into medication rather types of illness, so potentially for

:10:24. > :10:30.rheumatism, which Jane Austen suffered from. Using modern

:10:31. > :10:36.optometry, we are able to see just what Jane Austen's eyesight would

:10:37. > :10:41.have been like. That is 475. I cannot see your face at all. I can

:10:42. > :10:45.only see my hand when it is about there so that is what she needed, to

:10:46. > :10:48.correct her vision. The British library wants optometrists to get in

:10:49. > :10:52.touch and offer their professional opinions. A rare chance to see

:10:53. > :10:54.things through the eyes of one of our best loved authors.

:10:55. > :10:57.Archaeologists in Egypt have found a huge statue in a Cairo slum

:10:58. > :10:59.which is thought to be of Pharaoh Ramses II,

:11:00. > :11:01.one of the country's most famous ancient rulers.

:11:02. > :11:05.The head and torso of the 26-feet high statue were found submerged

:11:06. > :11:07.in mud and groundwater in the east of the city.

:11:08. > :11:10.Known as Ramses The Great, the pharaoh lived more than 3,000

:11:11. > :11:13.years ago and is credited with massively expanding

:11:14. > :11:29.Extraordinary. Should they really be using construction equipment next to

:11:30. > :11:32.something quite so precious? Something more delicate, maybe. Yes.

:11:33. > :11:36.A specialist nanny has been called in to help look after three Malayan

:11:37. > :11:41.Blakey is a 6-year-old male Australian shepherd.

:11:42. > :11:43.According to keepers at Cincinatti Zoo he provides

:11:44. > :11:46.warmth and a climbable body to the cubs after their mother

:11:47. > :11:54.He also helps with their behaviour by checking them when they get too

:11:55. > :12:09.A climbable body, it does what it says on the tin. -- climbable. I am

:12:10. > :12:16.assuming that is what little baby tiger cubs need to do, climb on

:12:17. > :12:22.somebody. Well, whatever works. In childcare, whatever works. That is

:12:23. > :12:29.the rule, isn't it? Time for a quick look through some of the front

:12:30. > :12:32.pages. On the front page of the times, we are talking once again

:12:33. > :12:39.about grammar schools. All existing grammar schools will be forced to

:12:40. > :12:43.offer 11 or plus pass marks to children. They looked about schools

:12:44. > :12:46.this week, of course. Many stories emerging and the possibility of

:12:47. > :12:51.there being more grammar schools as part of the government's shakeup of

:12:52. > :12:55.education. The Daily Mail has more on the budget. They are saying that

:12:56. > :13:00.many people, according to them, may have to take out a loan to pay fees

:13:01. > :13:04.after a relative dies, in order to administer a dead person's estate.

:13:05. > :13:09.Charities, law groups and campaigners say that the new charges

:13:10. > :13:13.are excessive and unjustified. Lastly, on the front page of the

:13:14. > :13:18.Daily Telegraph this morning, Tories no longer the low tax party. This

:13:19. > :13:21.follows on from the budget, of course. Many complaints from the

:13:22. > :13:25.self employed over the changes to national insurance. Conservatives

:13:26. > :13:29.are no longer seen as the party of low taxation. This follows Philip

:13:30. > :13:33.Hammond's budget. We will be talking more about that later on, with a

:13:34. > :13:40.full review of the papers coming up later this morning. A very striking

:13:41. > :13:45.picture of Yuri Geller there. -- Uri Geller. He was brought onto a David

:13:46. > :13:49.Dimbleby chatshow, apparently, under secret, hush-hush circumstances. He

:13:50. > :13:54.has links with MI5 and other suggestions. Well, if you can bend

:13:55. > :14:00.spoons you can put in much do anything. It is 6:13am. The main

:14:01. > :14:04.stories: cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was

:14:05. > :14:09.thrown under the bus after making allegations of sexism in the sport.

:14:10. > :14:15.The United Nations says the world is facing its biggest humanitarian

:14:16. > :14:18.crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people in Yemen, Somalia,

:14:19. > :14:21.South Sudan and Nigeria at risk of famine. Also coming up on the

:14:22. > :14:27.programme this morning, the cup back click team are checking out a

:14:28. > :14:31.pollution monitoring device with a difference, at high-tech drone which

:14:32. > :14:40.can dive in and out of the water. -- the Click team.

:14:41. > :14:46.but have a look at the weekend weather forecast. I have some words

:14:47. > :14:51.that go with this picture, but this tells the

:14:52. > :14:58.It will be mostly dry and if you are out and about it will be mild in the

:14:59. > :15:02.south-east. Let's try to put some detail on the story. There is some

:15:03. > :15:05.rain around and some of it will be heavy for a tiny north-west

:15:06. > :15:09.Scotland, but the weather front will continue to drift slowly southwards

:15:10. > :15:13.and as it does it will weaken off and push towards the borders by

:15:14. > :15:17.lunch. Behind it already starting to dry up. 9am, outbreaks of rain in

:15:18. > :15:23.Northern Ireland. Cloud driven north of England, into Wales and the

:15:24. > :15:28.Midlands. Temperatures about 9- ten as an overnight minimum, so they

:15:29. > :15:32.will start to respond promptly. Through the day the weather front

:15:33. > :15:37.thinks southwards out of the Scottish Borders and into England.

:15:38. > :15:41.Drizzly rain break them. Behind it some hill fog into southern Scotland

:15:42. > :15:44.and some glimpses of sunshine in the far north. We could have sunshine

:15:45. > :15:48.developing in the south-east. If that happens it will be hazy

:15:49. > :15:54.sunshine. Temperatures responding. 17 degrees. Perfect playing

:15:55. > :15:58.conditions for both of the Six Nations rugby matches through this

:15:59. > :16:03.afternoon. Lots of dry and sunny weather around, especially for the

:16:04. > :16:06.Italy match. Overnight make the most of today because it is all change

:16:07. > :16:10.tomorrow. Patchy rain spreading across the country. Another weather

:16:11. > :16:15.front waiting in the wings. This will push its way in as we go

:16:16. > :16:19.through Sunday. A mild and wet start. Some of the rain is heavy at

:16:20. > :16:23.times. A different day tomorrow if you are out and about. A soggy

:16:24. > :16:28.affair. Slowly brightening up from the west. There will be sunshine by

:16:29. > :16:32.the middle of the afternoon into the western fringes and Northern

:16:33. > :16:38.Ireland. Still relatively mild for this time of year, 10- 13 degrees.

:16:39. > :16:41.Into Monday things quieten down. High pressure builds from the

:16:42. > :16:45.south-west. Dry weather for the start of the new week. This weather

:16:46. > :16:50.front will try to bring outbreaks of rain into the north-west as it bumps

:16:51. > :16:55.into the high it will die out quickly. A cloudy start of the

:16:56. > :17:00.working week, but dry. Any rain on Tuesday will be fairly light and

:17:01. > :17:04.patchy. My advice, the most of today, because if you don't like the

:17:05. > :17:07.rain it is coming tomorrow. I know you very kindly mentioned the

:17:08. > :17:14.rug is later this afternoon. How is looking for Twickenham? Not

:17:15. > :17:22.bad, actually. Dry. Perfect conditions for playing rugby. I

:17:23. > :17:28.suspect we kickers will be happy. -- the kickers.

:17:29. > :17:42.Back with a summary of the news at 6:30am. Now, The Film Review.

:17:43. > :17:47.Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

:17:48. > :17:53.To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode.

:17:54. > :18:13.We have Kong: Skull Island, which does what it says on the tin.

:18:14. > :18:17.Love Island, a stylish dream, and we have Elle.

:18:18. > :18:23.Does the world need another King Kong film?

:18:24. > :18:30.Need is a strong word. But want.

:18:31. > :18:32.It is the Land that Time Forgot meets Apocalypse Now.

:18:33. > :18:35.John Goodman managed to persuade the US Army to escort him

:18:36. > :18:38.to Skull Island, where he thinks something is going on.

:18:39. > :18:42.He says, if we don't get there first, somebody else will.

:18:43. > :18:46.They arrive and they start carpet bombing the island in order to shake

:18:47. > :18:53.A massive ape starts swatting helicopters out of the sky.

:18:54. > :19:00.I'm probably not meant to laugh, and my?

:19:01. > :19:03.No, it does have a great sense of fun about it.

:19:04. > :19:06.We have Sam Jackson, the soldier, who is not

:19:07. > :19:10.John C Reilly, who has been there since World War II.

:19:11. > :19:16.They are trying to get from one side of the island to the other and there

:19:17. > :19:35.I've taken enough photos of mass graves to recognise one.

:19:36. > :19:38.The crash site is just on the other side of this valley.

:19:39. > :19:42.We'll cross through and make it to the highest point west.

:19:43. > :19:46.We need to be going to the north side right now.

:19:47. > :19:49.And you are welcome to do that, my man...

:19:50. > :20:04.I love the comment that said it's jolly good fun as long

:20:05. > :20:07.as you check your brain at the cloakroom.

:20:08. > :20:14.I think actually it's smarter than that.

:20:15. > :20:17.The director made this lovely, small film called Kings of Summer

:20:18. > :20:19.and very much like Gareth Edwards who went

:20:20. > :20:28.He has managed to leave his fingerprints on it.

:20:29. > :20:32.Yes, it is a huge monster franchise movie, but it's also got loads

:20:33. > :20:36.and loads of very slight jokes in it.

:20:37. > :20:39.I think there are a couple of references to Cannibal Holocaust.

:20:40. > :20:47.I like the fact that what he does is, he takes just enough liberties

:20:48. > :20:49.with how far you can push the characters,

:20:50. > :20:53.but also remembers that what people are there to see is the monsters.

:20:54. > :20:59.One of the things that is most rewarding is when you see King Kong,

:21:00. > :21:03.who is like 100 feet tall, a really big Kong, we're not getting

:21:04. > :21:08.the edit every quarter second that the Transformers movie did.

:21:09. > :21:11.Almost like there's genuine beauty in some of these shots.

:21:12. > :21:16.The iconic image of King Kong rising up in front of the sun.

:21:17. > :21:20.You can see how camera is swelling and we're not getting the stupid

:21:21. > :21:28.fast edits that have made so much of this kind of cinema headache.

:21:29. > :21:34.What you always get with this kind of movie is a battle

:21:35. > :21:38.between the director and what they want, their

:21:39. > :21:41.personal vision, and what the producers want.

:21:42. > :21:48.I think he won more battles than he lost.

:21:49. > :21:52.I liked the jukebox soundtrack and the other movies it references.

:21:53. > :21:56.There were moments when I thought, wow, that is an impressive,

:21:57. > :22:00.So I enjoyed it much more than I expected to and I don't thing

:22:01. > :22:20.The Love Which, were you bored in that?

:22:21. > :22:23.No, the best way of describing this, imagine All That Heaven Allows,

:22:24. > :22:31.It's in an age where mobile phones exist yet it has this late 60s,

:22:32. > :22:38.early 70s theme beyond the Valley of the dolls.

:22:39. > :22:40.It's a white witch's spell all men fall under.

:22:41. > :22:43.It's almost like a magical incantation and extraordinary

:22:44. > :22:56.I mean, the strange thing about it, there's also a lof of Wicker Man

:22:57. > :23:05.It is oddly sincere, in a way which you don't expect.

:23:06. > :23:11.I went in thinking I would be watching a parody and it was so much

:23:12. > :23:16.And I've met so many people who felt the same thing.

:23:17. > :23:20.They thought, I'll go in and it will be camp and fun.

:23:21. > :23:26.although it is all of those things as well.

:23:27. > :23:30.Just looking at the pictures, I am a bit worried it is not camp enough!

:23:31. > :23:36.Although, interestingly, there is a strange sincerity

:23:37. > :23:40.It is a very strange movie and I liked it very much.

:23:41. > :23:45.Now, the talking point of the week is Elle.

:23:46. > :23:49.As a woman, I feel almost anxious about going to see it actually.

:23:50. > :23:52.Yes, and I understand that and I feel anxious having seen it.

:23:53. > :23:55.Basically, it can be read in many different ways

:23:56. > :24:06.On the one hand it's a tale of sexual violence,

:24:07. > :24:08.who made Showgirls, and has a track record

:24:09. > :24:19.On the other it's a showcase for cinema's most fearless screen

:24:20. > :24:22.She plays a businesswoman who is grotesquely attacked

:24:23. > :24:25.at the beginning of the film and an almost

:24:26. > :24:34.She doesn't go to the police, because as a child she was caught up

:24:35. > :24:38.in the arrest of her monstrous father and was, in her mind betrayed

:24:39. > :25:25.She is so watchable, but I don't know if I have the stomach.

:25:26. > :25:47.It is almost as if the character becomes the author of the film.

:25:48. > :25:50.It has been described as a black comedy, a social satire

:25:51. > :25:58.It is all and yet none of these things.

:25:59. > :26:01.What is extraordinary is that nobody else other than Huppert

:26:02. > :26:06.They couldn't get the cast or the financing in America.

:26:07. > :26:13.She went on to be nominated for an Oscar.

:26:14. > :26:17.I think she's brilliant in this and almost everything she's in.

:26:18. > :26:21.If it wasn't for the strength of her performance, if it wasn't

:26:22. > :26:23.for the extraordinary way in which she just dominates

:26:24. > :26:28.the screen, this would be a very different film.

:26:29. > :26:33.That said, it is absolutely a film which is designed to wrong-foot you,

:26:34. > :26:40.which is designed to make you feel uncomfortable and awkward.

:26:41. > :26:42.It has been interesting see the different ways

:26:43. > :26:53.The best way to describe it is it's an Isabelle Huppert film.

:26:54. > :26:55.Moonlight, it is back in the cinemas?

:26:56. > :27:04.It is such a marvellous work, an absolute work of art and I love

:27:05. > :27:15.Doctor Strange is basically what would you do with a superhero

:27:16. > :27:17.movie if you make the kind of film Ken

:27:18. > :27:22.Watching Doctor Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch

:27:23. > :27:30.as a neurosurgeon that gets pulled into this strange world.

:27:31. > :27:32.Sometimes you think, that's an outtake from

:27:33. > :27:42.I love the hallucinogenic weirdness, but in cinemas, taking Logan

:27:43. > :27:45.completely the other way, it's almost not a superhero movie.

:27:46. > :27:48.Looking at Doctor Strange, it is a superhero movie and we can

:27:49. > :28:03.A quick reminder of course, you can find more film news

:28:04. > :28:06.and reviews from across the BBC online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode

:29:35. > :29:37.A leaked report published in the Daily Mail claims

:29:38. > :29:39.British Cycling "sanitised" its own inquiry into the claims.

:29:40. > :29:42.The Olympian told the BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed

:29:43. > :29:54.You know, I've been pulled from pillar to post just to get this, and

:29:55. > :29:59.to actually see it as a cover-up, is huge. Why do you think they did

:30:00. > :30:05.that? To protect themselves and protect the look of British Cycling.

:30:06. > :30:09.It is a lot easier for them to throw me under the bus rather than the

:32:48. > :32:55.taking that as medicine for her room at Isis. -- rheumatism. So, Wales

:32:56. > :33:00.have restored their pride. But they are done. How about today? You have

:33:01. > :33:04.the Ireland fans, the Welsh fans, the French fans, all cheering on

:33:05. > :33:05.Scotland. It is up to Scotland to stop England now.

:33:06. > :33:09.The Six Nations title is England's for the taking

:33:10. > :33:14.It was an important night for the Welsh, who needed to bounce

:33:15. > :33:18.back after 2 defeats, and George North was

:33:19. > :33:20.unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries, and after holding off

:33:21. > :33:23.an Ireland fight back, Jamie Roberts rounded off the win

:33:24. > :33:27.late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish

:33:28. > :33:29.defending to make it 22-9 in the end in Cardiff.

:33:30. > :33:35.We knew there was going to be a bit of action, and against one of the

:33:36. > :33:42.best sides in world rugby, you have to play like that with or without

:33:43. > :33:47.the ball. Very proud of the players, they deserve that. They have taken a

:33:48. > :33:51.lot of stick, the coaches and the players alike, and we beat a very

:33:52. > :33:56.good Irish side today, and I thought we beat them emphatically as well.

:33:57. > :34:01.It is an incredible frustration because it means that we cannot win

:34:02. > :34:08.the championship with one game to go against England, and it is still a

:34:09. > :34:11.lot to play for. We managed to probably end the last run if

:34:12. > :34:13.Scotland do not do it tomorrow, it will still be a great chance for us

:34:14. > :34:17.next Saturday. France play Italy in the first

:34:18. > :34:21.of today's Six Nations games and after that attention,

:34:22. > :34:23.turns to the Calcutta Cup. Thanks to that Wales win,

:34:24. > :34:26.England could pick up the title with victory, while Scotland can go

:34:27. > :34:29.top, and claim pole position, if they can get a first win

:34:30. > :34:33.at Twickenham in over 30 years. For England, Owen Farrell remains

:34:36. > :34:40.kick-off to finalise their team, for what both coaches know will be

:34:41. > :34:51.a hard fought game. We are just concentrating on

:34:52. > :34:54.ourselves. You know, we have had a great two reparation. We had a

:34:55. > :35:00.fantastic week at Oxford, we trained well. We have had two good days of

:35:01. > :35:02.training here. We were really well prepared. We are looking forward to

:35:03. > :35:09.playing an historic cup pickup. Neither Eddie Wright play in the

:35:10. > :35:14.game. It will be about the players on the field that afternoon. The

:35:15. > :35:18.players know they will have to be on their best performance on that day,

:35:19. > :35:21.during that 80 minutes. They will have to string together a number of

:35:22. > :35:26.excellent players in attack and defence. They will have to think

:35:27. > :35:28.clearly to get them to start adapting to our play. They are a

:35:29. > :35:29.very good team. Coverage of England vs Scotland

:35:30. > :35:33.will be live on BBC Radio 5 live The FA cup fairytale continues

:35:34. > :35:41.today, for Lincoln City. They're the first non-league side

:35:42. > :35:44.in the quarter finals since 1914, and they've already beaten

:35:45. > :35:46.teams from League One, the Championship and the Premier

:35:47. > :35:49.League in this year's competition. Now they are hoping to do

:35:50. > :35:52.what Bayern Munich did, and win at top four side Arsenal,

:35:53. > :35:55.whatever the odds against them, and their manager Danny Cowley,

:35:56. > :36:06.who a year ago was a PE teacher. It has been gradual steps for us. I

:36:07. > :36:09.think that is always important whenever you are trying to make the

:36:10. > :36:14.aggressions and move forward. And we are going to look forward to it. For

:36:15. > :36:19.us, we have to have belief that we can win the game. We respect the

:36:20. > :36:21.fact it might be one in a thousand, but if that is what the odds are, we

:36:22. > :36:26.go there expecting it to be that. as Middlesbrough host

:36:47. > :36:49.League is well and truly back on track, after they trounced Derby

:36:50. > :36:52.3-0 on the south coast. Anthony Knockaert got

:36:53. > :36:54.the Brighton party going, as the Seagulls moved level

:36:55. > :36:56.on points with Newcastle, Crucially, they're nine clear

:36:57. > :37:04.of Huddersfield in third. Derby have slipped to ten

:37:05. > :37:07.points off the play-offs. British rider Simon Yates won

:37:11. > :37:15.clear of the peloton on the penultimate climb -

:37:16. > :37:18.and held on to win the stage, He moves up to 8th overall,

:37:19. > :37:22.with two stages remaining. Johanna Konta has won

:37:23. > :37:29.the battle of the Brits, at the Indian Wells

:37:30. > :37:31.tournament in America. It's the first time Konta has

:37:32. > :37:36.met her Fed Cup team-mate, Heather Watson in a WTA

:37:37. > :37:38.tournament - Konta struggled at times in the hot California sun

:37:39. > :37:42.but took the first set 6-4. The second set was easier for Konta,

:37:43. > :37:44.frustrating for Watson. And there are now 97 places

:37:45. > :37:47.between them in the world So Konta, the world number 11,

:37:48. > :37:50.moves into round 3. In the men's draw Britain's Kyle

:37:56. > :37:58.of his first-round match against Dustin Brown,

:37:59. > :38:00.winning 6-1 6-1. The British number three will now

:38:01. > :38:06.face Kei Nishikori in round two. In last night's Super League,

:38:07. > :38:09.Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10, Albert Kelly was the star

:38:10. > :38:14.with twoof Hull's three tries, while Marc Snayed

:38:38. > :38:39.the all England Badminton Championships. This is like the

:38:40. > :38:43.Wimbledon of badminton and the pair beat the elliptic champions from

:38:44. > :38:47.Indonesia coming from one set down. It is the second year in a row they

:38:48. > :38:52.have reached the last format, and comes soon after GB Badminton had

:38:53. > :38:56.its funding cut. We really didn't come out too great at all today. It

:38:57. > :39:00.took us a full set, really, to get into the groove. A came out sharp

:39:01. > :39:04.and controlling. Obviously without a good start to the second and then

:39:05. > :39:09.they'd raked us back again. Slightly off plan, but a bit of a comeback

:39:10. > :39:12.from 17- 19 in the second, in the third we really felt aggrieved and

:39:13. > :39:15.we are happy to get through to number seven. They are into the

:39:16. > :39:19.semifinals in Birmingham. Some sad news in the world of motorsport. He

:39:20. > :39:22.is the only man to win the world Grand Prix and the World

:39:23. > :39:26.Championships on a motorbike, and also in a car. Could this have been

:39:27. > :39:29.pouring into John Surtees, who has died at 93. He started off as a

:39:30. > :39:34.brilliant motorcyclist and dominated for much of the late 1950s. After

:39:35. > :39:37.that, he moved on to four wheels and immediately established himself as a

:39:38. > :39:44.leading figure, winning the Formula 1. That was for Ferrari, in 1964.

:39:45. > :39:48.You can't imagine that happening today. Such a lovely man, we have

:39:49. > :39:55.lost a true motorsport legend. Judd Trump is the first man into the

:39:56. > :39:59.final of the speakers championship in Wales. The Bristolians beat Ali

:40:00. > :40:07.Carter 6-4 in the first semi-final of the week and last night. Today

:40:08. > :40:11.Marco Fu plays Dean Hung Lee. You might remember that last month die

:40:12. > :40:13.gives me came the first amputee jockey to win at a professional

:40:14. > :40:19.racecourse in Britain. Well, yesterday, on-board his horse

:40:20. > :40:25.Rathlin Rose, he did it again, this time at Sandown. I love winning.

:40:26. > :40:29.Like anybody else. It is the most phenomenal sport. I loved my time in

:40:30. > :40:32.the army, I got a buzz out of that. But this, you don't replicate days

:40:33. > :40:37.like that very easily. You really don't. Quite a story, that, because

:40:38. > :40:41.the biggest race was actually getting that racing licence, so he

:40:42. > :40:45.could become the first amputee to race. He had to trek to the South

:40:46. > :40:50.Pole with Prince Harry to prove he had what it takes. That would prove

:40:51. > :40:54.it, wouldn't it? Today we have got a fantastic line-up of live guests

:40:55. > :40:59.coming up from 7:30am, including, literally, sporting royalty. I'm not

:41:00. > :41:04.talking about Dan Morgan. Very good. We will talk to you later on. For

:41:05. > :41:08.refugees who have made the journey from Syria, creating a new life for

:41:09. > :41:17.themselves in the UK can be very difficult. Imad Alarnab first made a

:41:18. > :41:21.living repairing cars before his pasture is a -- past life as a chef

:41:22. > :41:25.was discovered. Now he is bringing Syrian cuisine to London.

:41:26. > :41:32.This is where Imad Alarnab feels most at home, making supper for 40.

:41:33. > :41:39.Would you please try this? Hummus? Yes. For 15 years, Imad Alarnab ran

:41:40. > :41:46.three restaurants in Damascus, until war broke out. I mean, our

:41:47. > :41:52.restaurants are closed now, because of the war. We had to leave in 2015,

:41:53. > :42:02.in July 20 15. Escaping for a safer life. You know, the hardest part was

:42:03. > :42:06.leaving the family behind. And while Imad Alarnab had to leave his home

:42:07. > :42:12.and his family, the cooking came with him. Three months, ten

:42:13. > :42:16.countries, running, cycling, taking a train, a boat, before finally

:42:17. > :42:21.arriving on the steps of a church in Calais. I was on the steps of the

:42:22. > :42:32.church for 64 days. Sleeping there? Yes. So how did you get into the UK?

:42:33. > :42:38.In the back of a lorry. Yes. So it wasn't easy at all. Once here, Imad

:42:39. > :42:44.was given refugee status, which allowed him to work as a car

:42:45. > :42:48.salesman. I met him and heard his story and it became very clear that

:42:49. > :42:51.he was in London and trying to do everything he could to make ends

:42:52. > :42:55.meet, and I heard he was selling cars, and I felt really sad knowing

:42:56. > :42:59.that he had this huge passion for food but was selling cars. I just

:43:00. > :43:03.knew that there was more that we could do as a community to help him

:43:04. > :43:07.do something with that. I didn't really know what it would look like

:43:08. > :43:10.or what it would feel like but I knew that within my group of friends

:43:11. > :43:14.and within the broader network, there was something we could do to

:43:15. > :43:18.help ring him back into the food scene. -- bring him back. With 36

:43:19. > :43:23.hours of operation, Syrian food comes to a pop-up restaurant in east

:43:24. > :43:26.London. How was it received? It has been wonderful, the chicken in

:43:27. > :43:31.particular was really good, really enjoyed it. The lamb, the lamb was

:43:32. > :43:35.really good, really tender. The chicken is cooked to perfection, it

:43:36. > :43:40.is a moist, which is hard when you cook chicken. He is a great chef! So

:43:41. > :43:42.you have the lamb, chicken, please enjoy it. Thank you for coming for

:43:43. > :43:56.the first time! Thank you. The time is just coming up to

:43:57. > :44:02.6:44am. You are watching Actors from BBC News. -- Breakfast.

:45:00. > :45:05.rain to come. Take a look. This is a Weather Watchers pick the ascent in

:45:06. > :45:09.about half an hour ago. -- picture sent in. Quite a lot of fog on the

:45:10. > :45:14.south coast. Hopefully it will break up. It is a cloudy and murky start.

:45:15. > :45:19.Coastal and hill fog as well and also some rain around across the far

:45:20. > :45:22.north-west of Scotland. That will sink steadily south towards the

:45:23. > :45:27.borders as we go through the morning. An improvement eventually.

:45:28. > :45:31.Light and drizzly bits and pieces through the early morning in

:45:32. > :45:34.Northern Ireland. A fair amount of cloud through northern England,

:45:35. > :45:38.towards the south-west, but already we have a bit of Brighton is pushing

:45:39. > :45:42.through in the south-east corner. Now it isn't going to be blue sky

:45:43. > :45:48.and sunshine. The cloud will be hazy and high up. But with some sunshine

:45:49. > :45:52.we should get warmth, possibly the warmest day of the year so far. At

:45:53. > :45:56.the same time the weather front weakens after this drizzly rain in

:45:57. > :46:01.the north of England and north Wales. If you get the sunshine and

:46:16. > :46:23.weather around. Eagles broke might be cloudy, but the sunshine should

:46:24. > :46:27.come out. -- Middlesbrough might be cloudy. Overnight, patchy outbreaks

:46:28. > :46:31.of rain and a lot of cloud. The rain will pep up and at the same time we

:46:32. > :46:35.have another weather front pushing in from the west. This is the tale

:46:36. > :46:41.of two halves. A different day for Sunday. A lot of cloud and rain. It

:46:42. > :46:47.will gradually push eastwards. So not a complete write-off. The

:46:48. > :46:50.western fringes have some sunshine. The northern island, western

:46:51. > :46:55.Scotland, a better afternoon. Still relatively mild, although fresher in

:46:56. > :47:01.the south-east in comparison to the day. As we move out of Sunday and

:47:02. > :47:04.into Monday we have a ridge of high-pressure moving across the

:47:05. > :47:11.country, which basically means things quieten down. A cloudy start

:47:12. > :47:16.to the working week. Showery rain into the far north and west for

:47:17. > :47:18.Tuesday. That's how it is looking. I'll be back in half an hour.

:47:20. > :47:21.the headlines at 7am. Now it's time for Click

:47:22. > :47:45.with Spencer Kelly. This week is the BBC's

:47:46. > :47:48.So I Can Breathe season, looking at ways to tackle air

:47:49. > :47:50.pollution around the world. We are out on the streets of London

:47:51. > :47:54.to test a new camera It has a particular sensitivity

:47:55. > :48:00.to a range of gases which are invisible

:48:01. > :48:04.to the human eye. The camera is supposed to be used

:48:05. > :48:07.by experts who know what they're looking

:48:08. > :48:10.for in the numbers and colours that they see and it's

:48:11. > :48:13.really supposed to be used in industrial locations as well,

:48:14. > :48:17.where you are looking for gas leaks. But, I must say, even

:48:18. > :48:20.here I can see sprays coming from some of the exhaust

:48:21. > :48:22.pipes through this camera Now, if you want to tackle air

:48:23. > :48:38.pollution problems across a city, you have to know where

:48:39. > :48:41.the pollution is coming from That is something that Mark Cieslak

:48:42. > :48:49.has been investigating. Poor air quality, as

:48:50. > :48:51.a result of pollution, poses a serious risk

:48:52. > :48:55.to public health. The Global Burden of Disease data

:48:56. > :49:00.now suggests that a lack of clean air is the third leading cause

:49:01. > :49:03.of death in the world after high blood

:49:04. > :49:05.pressure and smoking. But whether it triggers

:49:06. > :49:07.allergies or asthma, understanding the exact challenges

:49:08. > :49:09.pollution causes, The more precise the information is,

:49:10. > :49:25.the better we can come up We can identify areas

:49:26. > :49:29.where there are particular problems. Action to gather that even more

:49:30. > :49:32.precise data about pollution is being taken on the other side

:49:33. > :49:35.of the Atlantic, in Chicago. Because of Chicago's location

:49:36. > :49:38.in the Midwest and the fact that it

:49:39. > :49:47.is a large city, it is something of a transport hub

:49:48. > :49:50.for road, rail and air travellers. All those different

:49:51. > :49:52.types of vehicles don't do the city's air

:49:53. > :49:56.quality any favours. Here, a system is being installed

:49:57. > :49:58.which has been dubbed When it's completed it

:49:59. > :50:12.will be a citywide network of sensors, or nodes,

:50:13. > :50:19.fitted to lampposts and poles. It'll monitor an array

:50:20. > :50:21.of different things, from traffic levels to local climate

:50:22. > :50:23.as well as monitoring Eventually, all of the data

:50:24. > :50:29.the Array gathers will be made available online

:50:30. > :50:34.for anybody to use. We have come just outside of Chicago

:50:35. > :50:38.to the Argonne National Laboratory. It's part of the US

:50:39. > :50:41.Department of Energy and is the birthplace

:50:42. > :50:47.of the Array of Things. The donor is really into air

:50:48. > :50:56.quality, so they are really excited. Here, the team behind the array

:50:57. > :51:00.continue to refine the sensor boxes and the technology they contain,

:51:01. > :51:02.liaising with city officials and arranging the continued roll-out

:51:03. > :51:05.of the network across the city. This is the guts, if you like,

:51:06. > :51:09.of the Array of Things nodes. Which part here is

:51:10. > :51:14.the air quality sensor? Each one here is a specific cell,

:51:15. > :51:23.attuned to a specific This a ozone, this is

:51:24. > :51:26.a sulphur dioxide sensor. Nitrogen dioxide sensor and there's

:51:27. > :51:33.a token reducing gases. Installation of the array began

:51:34. > :51:36.towards the end of 2016. By the end of 2018, 500 nodes

:51:37. > :51:40.are planned for the network, spread across different

:51:41. > :51:44.parts of the city. Charlie Catlett is the Array

:51:45. > :51:47.of Things project lead. He took me on a whistlestop tour

:51:48. > :51:50.of some of the city's So, Charlie, this is the site

:51:51. > :51:56.of one of your first sensors, but this one will tell us

:51:57. > :52:15.seven different gases, and so that means we can say, well,

:52:16. > :52:18.this one is reading this gas particularly high and we know that

:52:19. > :52:21.that that is associated The new ones that're putting in,

:52:22. > :52:26.we have added a new sensor So what we can do with this particle

:52:27. > :52:30.sensor is we can look at the very fine particles

:52:31. > :52:32.that are measured The smaller particles

:52:33. > :52:36.are the ones you can't see, but they're really

:52:37. > :52:38.the most dangerous ones. They'll go straight

:52:39. > :52:40.into your bloodstream. The larger ones are

:52:41. > :52:42.what triggers allergies. So if you are somebody that's got

:52:43. > :52:46.allergies related to asthma, you'd be able to use the data

:52:47. > :52:50.from these nodes to look at pollen across the city and you might decide

:52:51. > :52:54.to change your cycle route you take to school or work, based on maybe

:52:55. > :52:57.where the pollen concentration Chicago is not alone when it comes

:52:58. > :53:04.to pollution monitoring. For example, in London,

:53:05. > :53:06.there's a system called Nowcast, which combines historical pollution

:53:07. > :53:09.data with current pollution measurements to provide an hourly

:53:10. > :53:11.update of pollution levels Array of Things nodes have been

:53:12. > :53:25.installed in other US cities with one in Seattle and another

:53:26. > :53:28.in Denver and there is interest in the system

:53:29. > :53:30.internationally as well. The data generated by the Array

:53:31. > :53:33.of Things will be used by researchers, scientists

:53:34. > :53:36.and healthcare professionals to get a better picture of the effects

:53:37. > :53:41.of poor air quality and pollution. But when it comes to turning this

:53:42. > :53:44.information into action, Brennna Berman and Tom Schenk both

:53:45. > :53:52.work for the city of Chicago and are figuring out how the Array

:53:53. > :53:56.of Things can help the city We have pockets of increased rates

:53:57. > :54:02.of asthma among our children that doctors have known about for quite

:54:03. > :54:07.some time but they do not have a lot of information about why they happen

:54:08. > :54:12.in certain areas of the city. The role of the Array of Things

:54:13. > :54:16.is really to help us understand the patterns and issues with air

:54:17. > :54:19.quality in Chicago at a detailed level,

:54:20. > :54:21.because you can't fix a problem if you can't define

:54:22. > :54:23.it and understand it. We might be thinking about how heavy

:54:24. > :54:26.pollutant vehicles can The City of Chicago has installed

:54:27. > :54:33.hundreds of miles of bike lanes, across the city of Chicago,

:54:34. > :54:36.but there is some very clear research showing that

:54:37. > :54:38.inhaling diesel fumes, especially by cyclists

:54:39. > :54:41.as they are riding alongs traffic, So it really helps us picture

:54:42. > :54:47.and take a good look at where those bike avenues

:54:48. > :54:50.are and how that corresponds If you have a school or another sort

:54:51. > :54:54.of vulnerable location very close to an area that has

:54:55. > :54:58.increased air quality challenges, the data from the Array of Things

:54:59. > :55:01.will give us the ability to define A good example here in Chicago

:55:02. > :55:06.will actucally be the very quickly growing neighbourhood

:55:07. > :55:08.on the west side. It has quickly evolved into one

:55:09. > :55:11.of our trendiest residential But it is also crisscrossed by any

:55:12. > :55:22.number of street level railroads. By looking at data, by using

:55:23. > :55:26.data such as the Array of Things, we are going to be able to make thos

:55:27. > :55:29.decisions more confidently and we are going to know that better

:55:30. > :55:33.than in fact many other cities have the ability to know that,

:55:34. > :55:37.because of the data that we look at. Here, the technology clearly has

:55:38. > :55:40.a role to play in the fight But the big pollution-busting

:55:41. > :55:43.powers lay with local Back in London, I'm checking out

:55:44. > :55:53.a pollution monitoring device With this water tank,

:55:54. > :56:02.they can launch their prototype. Oops, I knocked a thing

:56:03. > :56:09.into your tank. They've even have

:56:10. > :56:11.their own wind tunnel! Imperial College's AquaMAV

:56:12. > :56:16.is a drone that can fly through the air, dive into the water

:56:17. > :56:26.and then leap out again. All the while, gathering data

:56:27. > :56:30.to give us a greater understanding of pollution levels

:56:31. > :56:32.above and below the surface. The plan is to release a swarm

:56:33. > :56:38.of them into an area of concern. This is our response to extreme

:56:39. > :56:47.environments or post-disaster applications such as water sampling

:56:48. > :56:50.in floods, or after toxic spills, or oil spills,

:56:51. > :56:52.nuclear accidents or tsunamis. So there are different classes

:56:53. > :56:56.of applications and capability to do sampling with an automated,

:56:57. > :57:00.low-cost tool brings an enormous values compared to many other

:57:01. > :57:03.methods such as the human going there with a full

:57:04. > :57:08.protective suit. I was going to say, we have seen

:57:09. > :57:12.a lot of aquatic robots and we have But it never occurred to me

:57:13. > :57:17.that is quite difficult to get an underwater robot over great

:57:18. > :57:20.distances quickly and, We're just going to dive it

:57:21. > :57:34.in the water and then dive it out In some applications it's not even

:57:35. > :57:41.accessible through the water, in floods or floating ice,

:57:42. > :57:44.you may not get there via water. On the other side, an aerial beacon

:57:45. > :57:48.may not be able to get the information that local

:57:49. > :57:50.people need, so combining During a dive, the AquaMAV fills

:57:51. > :57:54.with water and then by releasing carbon dioxide from its on-board gas

:57:55. > :57:58.chamber it forces the water back out as a high-powered jet which thrusts

:57:59. > :58:01.the drone back upwards, And then the wings unfold and it

:58:02. > :58:07.comes out of the water and it beautifully becomes this

:58:08. > :58:09.flying birdlike thing. You describe it in

:58:10. > :58:17.such a romantic way. Now you know how romantic I am

:58:18. > :58:24.and what I get excited about. There is a beauty that

:58:25. > :58:26.has to be part of it, And elegance in nature makes

:58:27. > :58:30.it effective as well. Having the folding wings might look

:58:31. > :58:33.beautiful but for us it allows us to reduce the drag that it

:58:34. > :58:37.would experience as it dives as well as protecting

:58:38. > :58:45.the wings on impact. That's it for the short

:00:02. > :00:03.leaked to the Daily Mail, criticises what it calls

:00:04. > :00:19.the dysfunctional and inept For me, all I want is the truth to

:00:20. > :00:21.be out there, because it is the truth and that is what people should

:00:22. > :00:28.know. Also ahead, the United Nations warns

:00:29. > :00:35.that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945

:01:28. > :01:29.today at the top and tail of the country. I'll have all the details

:01:30. > :01:30.coming up. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told

:01:31. > :01:35.the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making

:01:36. > :01:38.allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report published

:01:39. > :01:44.in the Daily Mail claims British Cycling "sanitised"

:01:45. > :01:49.its own inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's

:01:50. > :01:53.Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed Representing Great Britain,

:01:54. > :01:56.Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner

:01:57. > :01:59.who became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations

:02:00. > :02:01.of sexism last year plunged Nothing has been in control,

:02:02. > :02:11.everything has been out I had nobody to turn

:02:12. > :02:15.to within the organisation. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped

:02:16. > :02:22.Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year,

:02:23. > :02:25.was found to have used sexist language towards her,

:02:26. > :02:28.but was cleared of eight of nine According to a draft report

:02:29. > :02:38.of an investigation leaked to the Daily Mail, findings

:02:39. > :02:41.of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were reversed

:02:42. > :02:42.by British Cycling's board. I am relieved that the

:02:43. > :02:45.truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar

:02:46. > :02:48.to post just to get this, and to see that it was

:02:49. > :02:53.a cover-up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling

:02:54. > :02:58.admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well-being

:02:59. > :03:04.of staff, but it said that reforms Those people who say it is sour

:03:05. > :03:08.grapes because you weren't selected for Rio, you will have

:03:09. > :03:10.heard those arguments, When people say it's bitterness,

:03:11. > :03:14.that's all they have If people knew me and saw

:03:15. > :03:19.what I was doing with my life and how I have turned things around,

:03:20. > :03:22.they would know the truth. They would know that

:03:23. > :03:24.I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work

:03:25. > :03:27.in cycling coaching again? Varnish says she is now

:03:28. > :03:34.considering whether to sue British Cycling

:04:13. > :04:17.the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis

:04:18. > :04:19.for the organisation We stand at a critical

:04:20. > :04:25.point in our history. Already, at the beginning

:04:48. > :04:50.children are acutely malnourished, and there is a cholera outbreak

:04:51. > :04:54.to deal with as well. The UN says billions of dollars

:04:55. > :04:56.are needed from the international community to feed the hungry,

:04:57. > :05:00.but so far only a fraction of that The overall requirement

:05:01. > :05:05.for South Sudan this year stands As of now, we have received

:05:06. > :05:09.9.3% of that amount, The United Nations says

:05:10. > :05:25.famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep

:05:26. > :05:31.into its pockets, right now. Pope Francis has said

:05:32. > :05:35.the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men

:05:36. > :05:40.to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper,

:10:09. > :10:11.about what has been happening and what Jess, particularly, has been

:10:12. > :10:16.saying about her time in the team, does this ring any bells with you?

:10:17. > :10:20.How familiar a story is this? I think the story is touching for so

:10:21. > :10:25.many people because so many women in the workplace and in professional

:10:26. > :10:29.cycling and national federations of any sport have either witnessed or

:10:30. > :10:35.experience themselves such behaviour from, you know, dominant males who

:10:36. > :10:39.are in positions as coaches. It has been very difficult, obviously, for

:10:40. > :10:43.me to hear. It is I have been an athlete and I have witnessed and

:10:44. > :10:47.experienced similar types of treatment. -- because I have been.

:10:48. > :10:55.It has been a very tough story to follow. What sort of thing have you

:10:56. > :10:58.seen over the years? I guess most recently, when we refer to the

:10:59. > :11:05.athletes that I have had on my team, which are British cyclists, they

:11:06. > :11:09.have been very emotional and upset after communications from people

:11:10. > :11:14.within British Cycling about their form or their condition or their

:11:15. > :11:19.non- selection. The communication, I think, that they receive, is

:11:20. > :11:25.harmful. It is causing them to be very emotional, and not enjoy their

:11:26. > :11:30.sport. From my position, I am trying to encourage women to not let these

:11:31. > :11:33.things affect them, because it is very difficult to stop a dominant

:11:34. > :11:38.male from speaking to an athlete like that. My role has just been to

:11:39. > :11:42.comfort them. They love what they do, they love their sport, they have

:11:43. > :11:49.big roles, and to just focus on that. But it is a very difficult

:11:50. > :11:52.situation and women's sport. Do you think that the management speak to

:11:53. > :11:57.the women on the team in a different way to the way they talk to the men

:11:58. > :12:01.on the team? Or do they talk to everybody the same way? Well, I have

:12:02. > :12:04.actually been thinking about that, because I have not witnessed so much

:12:05. > :12:11.British Cycling staff speaking to males. I am wondering if they do

:12:12. > :12:14.speak the same way to the males as they do to the females, but the

:12:15. > :12:18.males respond or react differently. Whether you are male or female,

:12:19. > :12:21.every person, every individual, reacts differently to different

:12:22. > :12:25.commute occasion in different ways. I think that perhaps females show

:12:26. > :12:28.that emotion more and share it amongst their friends and fellow

:12:29. > :12:32.teammates and staff members, rather than a male who may be hurt equally

:12:33. > :12:35.as much by the way they have been spoken to, they may bottle it up

:12:36. > :12:41.inside and deal with themselves rather than communicating their

:12:42. > :12:45.emotions. Is it likely that a coach might say, I was just trying to get

:12:46. > :12:48.the best out of her, I was just trying to push her? That is

:12:49. > :12:53.obviously what we hear. I think there is some truth in the fact that

:12:54. > :12:56.coaches, within British Cycling but also within every sport all around

:12:57. > :13:01.the world, that their main objective is to get the best out of their

:13:02. > :13:04.athletes, to get results for their nations, to get that athlete to

:13:05. > :13:08.really get the best out of themselves. That means sometimes you

:13:09. > :13:13.have to push athletes. The question is, do they need to be pushed

:13:14. > :13:17.mentally and emotionally? Or is it enough to just be pushing them

:13:18. > :13:21.physically, just advising them to do a bigger workload with their

:13:22. > :13:24.physical activity. So I've think the big question that everybody is

:13:25. > :13:28.asking, we love to win medals, everybody loves to see every athlete

:13:29. > :13:34.at their absolute best when it comes to race day, but is it at the price

:13:35. > :13:38.of being unhappy in your workplace, which you take home, and then, you

:13:39. > :13:42.know, you have had this really great career of results, at how has the

:13:43. > :13:46.quality of life being? Just finally, because we are running out of time,

:13:47. > :13:51.Jess Varnish has said she wants the whole board to go. She says that

:13:52. > :13:55.simply has to happen in order for things to change. Is that something

:13:56. > :14:02.that is likely to happen? Is that realistic? I think over a process of

:14:03. > :14:06.time, if you give it a time of maybe one or two years to move people out

:14:07. > :14:13.of positions and other people in, but surely there are some people

:14:14. > :14:16.within British Cycling who are the good people within the organisation

:14:17. > :14:22.who can bring the best out in other employees there and change the

:14:23. > :14:25.culture. I think it is achievable to change all of the staff at British

:14:26. > :14:29.Cycling, but whether it is completely necessary, I'm not sure.

:14:30. > :14:33.I don't know every staff member at British Cycling. Rachelle, you team

:14:34. > :14:39.manager. How on earth does British Cycling recover from this? I think

:14:40. > :14:42.they need to be more transparent with everything. I think athletes

:14:43. > :14:45.coming out and speaking about how they are being treated is a step in

:14:46. > :14:49.the right direction, because the staff need to be more cautious with

:14:50. > :14:53.the way they can indicate with their athletes. And the impact that it is

:14:54. > :14:57.having on their emotions. I think being transparent across the whole

:14:58. > :15:00.organisation, athletes feeling that they can speak out about being

:15:01. > :15:04.mistreated or how they have responded to certain kinds of

:15:05. > :15:09.treatments and communications. I think this is a step in the right

:15:10. > :15:12.direction, and Jess has really got the ball rolling to clean up the

:15:13. > :15:18.culture at British Cycling. Thank you.

:15:19. > :15:22.A really fascinating insight into how the team my work and the changes

:15:23. > :15:23.that might have to be made. You're watching

:15:24. > :15:30.Breakfast from BBC News. Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has

:15:46. > :15:51.and Nigeria at risk of famine. Here's Louise with a look

:15:52. > :16:03.at this morning's weather. If you are glass half full kind of

:16:04. > :16:07.person you might be happy with this headline, because certainly today

:16:08. > :16:11.will be the better of the two days for most of us. A lot of cloud

:16:12. > :16:16.around at the moment and some hill fog. Some coastal fog down the south

:16:17. > :16:21.coast in particular. This one producing rain. Some of it heavy. It

:16:22. > :16:27.will weaken off as it moves south. Already at 9pm we have a brightening

:16:28. > :16:32.process into the far north of Scotland. We will get sunshine

:16:33. > :16:35.later. The rain is light and drizzly through Northern Ireland. As it

:16:36. > :16:39.pushes into the Scottish Borders there will be a lot of cloud in

:16:40. > :16:45.northern England and why is. Poor visibility and coastal and hill fog.

:16:46. > :16:49.Through the morning the cloud should break up and we will have sunshine

:16:50. > :16:55.coming through to the south-east. If that happens you will get warmth.

:16:56. > :17:00.Already overnight lows about 9- 11, so a mild start and we could see

:17:01. > :17:04.temperatures as high as 17 degrees. Sunshine into the far north of

:17:05. > :17:10.Scotland. Not as warm. For the Six Nations, perfect rugby playing. For

:17:11. > :17:15.spectating, light winds. Dry and sunny weather coming through.

:17:16. > :17:19.Similar for the FA Cup matches. You could be more cloud and some drizzle

:17:20. > :17:24.through the second half of Middlesbrough - Man City. Overnight

:17:25. > :17:29.that weather front is still there and it peps up. Quite a lot of cloud

:17:30. > :17:35.and showery outbreaks of rain. Again, a murky night. Coastal and

:17:36. > :17:39.hill fog. At the same time, another weather front waiting in the wings.

:17:40. > :17:44.This is a contrast with tomorrow. It will be a wet start for many

:17:45. > :17:51.tomorrow. Some of it will be heavy. It moves eastwards. A contrast in

:17:52. > :17:55.east Anglia and the south-east. Cool and disappointing compared with

:17:56. > :18:01.today. Behind it, sunshine in the western fringes. Here, we end the

:18:02. > :18:05.day on a sunny note. It looks like conditions will quieten into

:18:06. > :18:10.Tuesday. Dry weather as the high pressure builds again. Cloud will

:18:11. > :18:16.come and go. Not much in the way of sunshine I suspect on Monday, but

:18:17. > :18:20.not a bad day in prospect and it will be patchy by Tuesday. All in

:18:21. > :18:22.all, enjoy today's weather review came as it will be soggy tomorrow.

:18:23. > :18:25.Thanks very much. For 50 years the laws on abortion

:18:26. > :18:28.have remained unchanged, meaning a woman must

:18:29. > :18:31.have the consent of two doctors Under those rules a woman who takes

:18:37. > :18:40.to update the legislation, but pro-life critics say it

:18:41. > :18:44.could pave the way for sex selective abortions and

:18:45. > :18:59.terminations on demand. My first reaction was I don't want

:19:00. > :19:03.to have a baby. Straightaway, how am I going to care for this being when

:19:04. > :19:07.I can't even care for myself? Emily tells me why she had an abortion.

:19:08. > :19:11.She was broke, she had depression, she couldn't cope. She had to wait

:19:12. > :19:16.one month for a termination. That was the worst month of my life. I

:19:17. > :19:24.was googling ways to induce miscarriage and I think that in

:19:25. > :19:28.itself proves it's too long. I could have really hurt myself in that

:19:29. > :19:32.time. You could have faced a jail sentence? I don't have any words for

:19:33. > :19:36.that. To punish a woman who is already in such an unstable and

:19:37. > :19:42.vulnerable position. What do you think you are doing to that woman's

:19:43. > :19:47.life? Just under 200,000 abortions were carried out in the UK in 2015,

:19:48. > :19:52.most in rooms like this. The NHS as women should wait about two weeks,

:19:53. > :19:56.but it can be more than twice that. Figures indicate these tablets used

:19:57. > :20:01.to miscarry are increasingly being bought illegally online by women who

:20:02. > :20:08.refuse to wait. Two doctors sign off every abortion. Now, this is unlike

:20:09. > :20:12.any other medical procedure. But no other procedure in false ending a

:20:13. > :20:18.life and that's what's key here, isn't it? We're in the 21st century.

:20:19. > :20:22.We trust women to make decisions about their lives, about their

:20:23. > :20:28.healthcare and abortion should be no different. But others say the delay

:20:29. > :20:33.that comes with not one but two GPs is essential when deciding the fate

:20:34. > :20:36.of not one but two macrolides. Many women go for that initial

:20:37. > :20:40.consultation and by the time they come back they actually change their

:20:41. > :20:43.minds will stop it is an important step in the process to make sure

:20:44. > :20:47.women are making the right decision for them. Do you have any statistics

:20:48. > :20:51.to back that argument up? We do know that about 30% of women who go for

:20:52. > :20:53.initial consultations never go through with the process. The

:20:54. > :20:57.difficulty with the termination is once you have done that, if it's a

:20:58. > :21:01.rushed process, you can't change your mind. The office said this

:21:02. > :21:06.latest figure had been given by a leading clinician. We could not find

:21:07. > :21:12.any evidence of it. Abortion is an emotive subject. Why while the royal

:21:13. > :21:18.college of midwives has backed the petition, another petition suggests

:21:19. > :21:25.people fear it could pave the way for selective abortions on demand.

:21:40. > :21:42.today. I was alone public voice, but I was not the only person who had

:21:43. > :21:46.had an abortion. They were all there, the voices, but they were

:21:47. > :21:53.unhurt and unfortunately they stayed unhurt. I am appalled. 50 years

:21:54. > :22:01.later on, we are still fighting for this. This is the hate mail? Yes.

:22:24. > :22:27.possibility of changing the law in relation to abortion, a little bit

:22:28. > :22:32.later this morning. Let's have a look at the papers. Starting with

:22:33. > :22:37.The Daily Mail. They are still talking about the budget that

:22:38. > :22:40.happened on Wednesday. They are talking about one particular aspect,

:22:41. > :22:48.saying some people might now have to take a loan out to sort out death

:22:49. > :22:52.duties after a loved one has died. Campaigners say new charges detailed

:22:53. > :22:59.in Wednesday's budget are excessive and unjustified.

:23:12. > :23:16.Bernie Sanders, talking about Donald Trump. Trump is a pathological liar,

:23:23. > :23:27.Lynn says Diana's form of luck says she visits him at night and talks to

:23:28. > :23:32.him in his dreams. He goes on to say, she tells me things. It isn't

:23:33. > :23:38.scary or flaky, it just happens. And we will have a full review of

:23:39. > :23:44.the papers later. It is something most of us would

:23:45. > :23:48.have done at some point. You get preoccupied, you are doing it and

:23:49. > :23:50.you aren't paying attention, in this case to your children coming out of

:23:51. > :23:53.school. By being distracted by your phone?

:23:54. > :24:01.So you are standing there may be like this. Well, apparently one head

:24:02. > :24:04.teacher thinks parents should greet their children with a smile, not

:24:05. > :24:08.with their faces buried in a mobile at the end of the day. She has put

:24:09. > :24:13.up signs around the school, the playground, asking parents to keep

:24:14. > :24:18.their smartphones away. We've been asking some parents what they think.

:24:19. > :24:26.I think it's appropriate, yes. When they come to be their kids up from

:24:27. > :24:29.school, they should be here to do that and the talk to them about

:24:30. > :24:33.their day, not to be chatting on their phones. I don't know what the

:24:34. > :24:37.big fuss is about, really. It's a bit daft, really. I should imagine

:24:38. > :24:42.there are a lot of schools that do it. When you are with children I

:24:43. > :24:48.think it's better you keep your phone with you. We've got enough

:24:49. > :24:53.rules anyway, with cars. You should be able to use them at school, you

:24:54. > :24:56.know what I mean? It is your own free will to use your phone.

:24:57. > :25:03.Let us know what you think. You can e-mail us and share your thoughts

:25:04. > :25:07.with other viewers on our Facebook page.

:25:08. > :25:10.Of course you will have to look at your phone to do that! I think that

:25:11. > :25:15.allowed on Saturday. It is a point worth making. Maybe if

:25:16. > :25:19.you are with your kids you shouldn't be tweeting.

:25:20. > :25:24.You absolutely shouldn't be, but what happens in lots of playground

:25:25. > :25:27.is the parents get distracted by talking to each other!

:27:25. > :27:28.and I felt really sad knowing that he had this huge passion for food

:27:29. > :27:32.but was selling cars and knew that there was more we could do as a

:27:33. > :27:36.community to help him do something with that. I didn't really know what

:27:37. > :27:40.it would look like and what it would feel like, but I knew that within my

:27:41. > :27:44.group of friends and our broader network there was something we could

:27:45. > :27:46.do to help bring him back into the food scene. For 36 hours of

:27:47. > :27:50.preparation, theory and food comes to a pop-up restaurant in East

:27:51. > :27:53.London. But how is it received? It has been absolutely wonderful. The

:27:54. > :27:58.chicken in particular was really, really good. Really enjoyed it. The

:27:59. > :28:04.lamb, Elan was really good and tender. The chicken is cooked to

:28:05. > :28:08.perfection. It is very moist. He is a great chef. We should be doing

:28:09. > :28:12.this, right? You have the lamb, chicken and vegetarian? Yes, this

:28:13. > :28:19.enjoyed and thank you for coming for the first time. Thank you.

:28:20. > :28:24.He's known for bringing us the wonders of the animal kingdom

:29:50. > :29:58.The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown

:29:59. > :30:01.under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport.

:30:02. > :30:03.A leaked report published in the Daily Mail claims

:30:04. > :30:06.British Cycling "sanitised" its own inquiry into the claims.

:30:07. > :30:09.The Olympian told the BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed

:30:10. > :30:14.You know, I've been pulled from pillar to post.

:30:15. > :30:20.Just to get this, and to actually see it is a cover-up, is huge.

:30:21. > :30:24.To protect themselves and protect the look of British Cycling.

:30:25. > :30:28.It's a lot easier for them to throw me under the bus rather

:30:29. > :30:34.than the whole of British Cycling, and for the truth to come out.

:30:35. > :30:37.The world is facing its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945,

:30:38. > :30:39.according to the United Nation's humanitarian chief.

:30:40. > :30:42.Stephen O'Brien said more than 20 million people face the threat

:30:43. > :30:45.of starvation and famine in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria.

:30:46. > :30:48.Unicef has already warned 1.4 million children could starve this

:30:49. > :31:05.Pope Francis said the Catholic Church should consider allowing

:31:06. > :31:09.married men to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper he

:31:10. > :31:14.said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply in

:31:15. > :31:20.specific circumstances, will lack at areas of the world where priests are

:31:21. > :31:24.in short supply. -- circumstances, like remote areas. A prisoner who

:31:25. > :31:28.climbed onto the roof of a prison in Dorset before taking off his clothes

:31:29. > :31:31.and starting a fire has been brought back down to safety. The blaze

:31:32. > :31:35.caused to the building. The prisoner, who was processing changes

:31:36. > :31:39.to the prison regime, is said to have been drunk. Protests and South

:31:52. > :31:52.Park Geun-hye was ousted from office yesterday following a corruption

:32:22. > :32:25.face unlimited fines under government plans. An amended to the

:32:26. > :32:28.Digital Economy Bill means it will be a legal to use software to buy

:32:29. > :32:34.thousands of tickets. Music stars including Ed Shearer and have spoken

:32:35. > :32:38.out about the issue. -- Ed Sheehan. Have you ever tried to buy a ticket

:32:39. > :32:42.for a concert online? Really difficult, hovering there with your

:32:43. > :32:45.mouse over the bottom. They sell out almost immediately. Sporting events

:32:46. > :32:51.are the same. Yes, very stressful. All the time. The tension will be

:32:52. > :32:55.even more so now for England and Scotland after Wales did them both a

:32:56. > :32:58.favour. Effectively in today's match with England and Scotland, it is a

:32:59. > :33:02.title decider, because it Scotland get their first win at Twickenham

:33:03. > :33:07.since 1983, back when Michael Jackson was in the charts, with

:33:08. > :33:11.Billie Jean... I thought you were about to say that Billie Jean was

:33:12. > :33:14.playing. Well, they will be top, in pole position. But of course England

:33:15. > :33:18.are chasing a record as well today. If they can beat Scotland they will

:33:19. > :33:22.equal New Zealand's record of 18 test wins. Wales has done them both

:33:23. > :33:23.their favour, because it means the Six Nations title is England's

:33:24. > :33:32.taking today. -- for the taking. It was an important night

:33:33. > :33:35.for the Welsh, who needed to bounce back after 2 defeats,

:33:36. > :33:38.and George North was unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries,

:33:39. > :33:41.and after holding off an Ireland fight back, Jamie Roberts rounded

:33:42. > :33:45.off the win late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish

:33:46. > :33:49.defending to make it 22-9 in the end We knew there was going to be a bit

:33:50. > :33:53.of action, and against one of the best sides in world rugby,

:33:54. > :33:56.you have to play like that Very proud of the players,

:33:57. > :34:00.they deserve that. They have taken a lot of stick,

:34:01. > :34:04.the coaches and the players alike, and we beat a very good Irish side

:34:05. > :34:07.today, and I thought we beat them It's an incredible frustration

:34:08. > :34:11.because it means that we can't win the championship with one game

:34:12. > :34:14.to go against England, We managed to probably

:34:15. > :34:18.end the last run. If Scotland do not do it tomorrow,

:34:19. > :34:22.it will still be a great chance The FA cup fairytale continues

:34:23. > :34:40.today, for Lincoln City. We will be speaking to Kenny Logan,

:34:41. > :34:43.who got 70 cups the Scotland, in a moment. -- caps for Scotland.

:34:44. > :34:46.The FA cup fairytale continues today, for Lincoln City.

:34:47. > :34:49.They're the first non-league side in the quarter finals since 1914,

:34:50. > :34:51.and they've already beaten teams from League One,

:34:52. > :34:54.the Championship and the Premier League in this year's competition.

:34:55. > :34:56.Now they are hoping to do what Bayern Munich did,

:34:57. > :35:00.and win at top four side Arsenal, whatever the odds against them,

:35:01. > :35:03.and their manager Danny Cowley, who a year ago was a PE teacher.

:35:04. > :35:09.I think that's always important whenever you're trying to make

:35:10. > :35:16.And we are going to look forward to it.

:35:17. > :35:20.For us, we have to have belief that we can win the game.

:35:21. > :35:23.We respect the fact it might be one in a thousand,

:35:24. > :35:28.but if that is what the odds are, we go there expecting to beat that.

:35:29. > :35:32.And at 8:30am we will be hearing from the Lincoln chairman.

:35:33. > :35:34.Also today, it's all Premier League, as Middlesbrough host

:35:35. > :35:36.Manchester City at lunchtime, then tomorrow, League One Millwall

:35:37. > :35:39.travel to Spurs, while on Monday, Chelsea at home to Manchester

:35:40. > :35:42.In the Premier League, Bournemouth haven't won in 8 league

:35:43. > :35:50.At the bottom Swansea play Hull City, who are second bottom.

:35:51. > :35:54.Brighton's push for the Premier League is well and truly back

:35:55. > :35:59.on track, after they trounced Derby 3-0 on the south coast.

:36:00. > :36:02.Anthony Knockaert got the Brighton party going,

:36:03. > :36:05.as the Seagulls moved level on points with Newcastle,

:36:06. > :36:10.Crucially, they're nine clear of Huddersfield in third.

:36:11. > :36:13.Derby have slipped to ten points off the play-offs.

:36:14. > :36:16.Johanna Konta has won the battle of the Brits,

:36:17. > :36:18.at the Indian Wells tournament in America.

:36:19. > :36:20.It's the first time Konta has met her Fed Cup team-mate,

:36:21. > :36:24.Heather Watson in a WTA tournament - Konta struggled at times in the hot

:36:25. > :36:26.California sun but took the first set 6-4.

:36:27. > :36:29.The second set was easier for Konta, frustrating for Watson.

:36:30. > :36:33.And there are now 97 places between them in the world rankings.

:36:34. > :36:35.So Konta, the world number 11, moves into round 3.

:36:36. > :36:38.In the men's draw Britain's Kyle Edmund is into the second round.

:36:39. > :36:40.He beat Portugal's, Gastao Elias 6-1, 6-3.

:36:41. > :36:43.Dan Evans made light work of his first-round match

:36:44. > :36:44.against Dustin Brown, winning 6-1 6-1.

:36:45. > :36:59.The British number three will now face Kei Nishikori in round two.

:37:00. > :37:02.In last night's Super League, Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10,

:37:03. > :37:07.Albert Kelly was the star with twoof Hull's three tries,

:37:08. > :37:09.while Marc Snayed kicked 12 points too.

:37:10. > :37:12.Saints are now third from bottom, with just one win from their first

:37:13. > :37:20.Great Britain's husband and wife pair, Chris and Gabby Adcock,

:37:21. > :37:23.are into the semi-finals once again at the All-England Badminton

:37:24. > :37:26.This is like the Wimbledon of badminton, and the pair beat

:37:27. > :37:28.the Olympic champions from Indonesia, coming

:37:29. > :37:37.It's the second year in a row they've reached the last four,

:37:38. > :37:40.and comes soon after GB Badminton had its funding cut by UK Sport.

:37:41. > :37:43.We really didn't come out too great at all today.

:37:44. > :37:46.It took us a full set, really, to get into the groove.

:37:47. > :37:50.Obviously without a good start to the second,

:37:51. > :37:55.Slightly off plan, but a bit of a comeback from 17-19

:37:56. > :37:59.in the second, in the third we really felt a groove and we're

:38:00. > :38:01.happy to get through to number seven.

:38:02. > :38:04.He's the only man to win a Grand Prix World Championship

:38:05. > :38:07.on a motorbike and then in a car, and tributes have been pouring

:38:08. > :38:10.in for John Surtees, who's died at the age of 83.

:38:11. > :38:13.He started off as a brilliant motorcyclist who dominated for much

:38:14. > :38:22.Surtees then moved on to four wheels and immediately established himself

:38:23. > :38:29.as a leading figure, winning the Formula One World Championship

:38:30. > :38:33.Damon Hill has said what all of us feel, "Such a lovely man,

:38:34. > :38:36.We have lost a true motorsport legend."

:38:37. > :38:38.Judd Trump is the first man into the final of snooker's

:38:39. > :38:45.The Bristolian beat Ali Carter 6-4 in the first semifinal

:38:46. > :38:58.Let's go to back to our top story, England vs Scotland in the Six

:38:59. > :39:02.One man who knows, just what it's like in the thick of this great

:39:03. > :39:05.rivalry at Twickenham is former Scotland wing Kenny Logan,

:39:06. > :39:17.I take it you are out in the garden, throwing a ball around already? Yes,

:39:18. > :39:21.practising. Take us back to 1993, I think it was, your first memory of

:39:22. > :39:26.coming on as a substitute and playing England at home. It makes

:39:27. > :39:30.this fixture so special? Every time you play England it is special. Even

:39:31. > :39:33.if Scotland have not been playing well or England have not been

:39:34. > :39:37.playing well, a Scotland and England game has that bit of excitement

:39:38. > :39:41.about it, the old rivalry. The interesting thing this week is that

:39:42. > :39:44.everything is on the game. England have the Triple Crown, Grand Slams,

:39:45. > :39:47.championships, records, they have all the pressure on them. What

:39:48. > :39:51.Scotland have, turning up to Twickenham today, they have been

:39:52. > :39:53.playing some great rugby. They are probably the team in the

:39:54. > :40:02.championship. Last night, obviously, with Wales winning, against Ireland,

:40:03. > :40:07.this game this weekend is just, every fan... I tell you what, the

:40:08. > :40:12.English will be worried. It is all a bit exciting. Yes, they are worried

:40:13. > :40:15.it is they have seemed a way that Scotland have been probably the most

:40:16. > :40:18.entertaining team so far, whereas England have been misfiring, but

:40:19. > :40:23.scraping through, getting out of jail. Who has the greatest pressure

:40:24. > :40:26.on them today? Scotland have not won at Twickenham since 1983, when

:40:27. > :40:29.Billie Jean by Michael Jackson was number one. Have you seen enough

:40:30. > :40:34.this season to suggest that long wait could finally be over? Yes.

:40:35. > :40:38.Scotland are on fire as a team. They are playing well, they are scoring

:40:39. > :40:42.tries, they are dangerous. They lack a bit upfront in the set piece a

:40:43. > :40:46.little bit. But around the field they are in good form. England are

:40:47. > :40:50.struggling a bit. They are a bit disjointed. The back three has not

:40:51. > :40:55.been playing that well, the midfield has not been playing that well. I

:40:56. > :41:02.presumed the big story today, it was Will Ferrell played? There will be a

:41:03. > :41:05.lot more pressure. There is no pressure on Scotland. Nobody is

:41:06. > :41:11.expecting them to win, apart from every Scotsman. Kenny, not just

:41:12. > :41:14.every Scotsman. Every Irishman and every Welshman, currently, they are

:41:15. > :41:18.probably Scotland fans. It seems like everybody is behind Scotland at

:41:19. > :41:23.the moment. You just mentioned Alan Farrell. What will be Scotland team,

:41:24. > :41:27.what will be camp the making of Eddie Jones' statements this week

:41:28. > :41:32.about whether or not Owen Farrell is going to play? You think is try to

:41:33. > :41:36.play with their minds? He may be years, certainly I know his dog has

:41:37. > :41:42.been off the leash quite a lot this week. -- he maybe is. But he didn't

:41:43. > :41:47.train yesterday. At tells a bit of a story. He may be fit today, but from

:41:48. > :41:51.Scotland's point of view, you just have to prepare and forget about

:41:52. > :41:55.Owen Farrell and assume he is going to play and just get on with it and

:41:56. > :41:59.not worry about the sideshow that Owen Farrell is going to play or

:42:00. > :42:02.not. Kenny, it is Charlie here in the studio. Reminisce for us. You

:42:03. > :42:06.mentioned the special nature of the England and Scotland games. When you

:42:07. > :42:10.are in the tunnel and the England team are lining up next to you, how

:42:11. > :42:14.did you play that thing? Do you eyeball your opponent, your direct

:42:15. > :42:17.opposite number? How do you think Scotland will play at this time

:42:18. > :42:23.around in relation to those mind games? -- plate it. I think Scotland

:42:24. > :42:27.have to do what they have been doing the last few weeks. Scotland a

:42:28. > :42:31.number five in the world. You don't get to number five just by beating

:42:32. > :42:35.Ireland or Wales. They have been consistent since the World Cup,

:42:36. > :42:39.really. They have won a lot of big games, and they have lost some big

:42:40. > :42:44.games just by one point. Scotland are an all-round team. They really

:42:45. > :42:47.have that passion, the passion is really important, but you have to

:42:48. > :42:51.have the control, and they have all the control. They have some great

:42:52. > :42:55.players, Finn Russell, the grey brothers, Hamish Watson, Alex the

:42:56. > :42:59.bus, they have a lot of big performers. This is a chance for

:43:00. > :43:04.them. They want to cause an upset, they want to go out there and show

:43:05. > :43:07.people they are not just a one trick pony winning home games. They want

:43:08. > :43:11.to play away games. The last time they played at Twickenham they lost

:43:12. > :43:15.to Australia by one point. They know that they can go there and enjoy the

:43:16. > :43:18.experience. And with the Stuart Hogg factor, there is this element of

:43:19. > :43:26.flair and excitement which could be the crucial factor? Yeah, you saw

:43:27. > :43:30.last night, just one piece of genius can change a game. That is what he

:43:31. > :43:35.has been doing. He has done it all season for his club. He has done it

:43:36. > :43:38.for the last two years. He is a more rounded by an hour, and players are

:43:39. > :43:43.scared of him because they don't know what he is going to do. We have

:43:44. > :43:47.not had that fear factor in a player for Scotland for a long time. We do

:43:48. > :43:51.have somebody who can turn the game very, very quickly. The position he

:43:52. > :43:55.plays, you know that when you kick to him he is going to come out. The

:43:56. > :44:00.fans, the stadium, they'll just rise up when he gets the ball in his

:44:01. > :44:05.hands. I like Elliot Daly, he is a similar mode. He is maybe not as

:44:06. > :44:09.experienced as Hogg, but I think he can do the same for England. Before

:44:10. > :44:12.we go, you can be as biased as you like. Then you give us your

:44:13. > :44:17.prediction? I think Scotland will win by four points. Four points!

:44:18. > :44:22.History being made. Kenny, thank you. I want to go and play in your

:44:23. > :44:30.garden. I will keep the ball through the window. -- kick. Such a big day.

:44:31. > :44:35.We have got so much rugby today. We have got more guests coming up. And

:44:36. > :44:36.we have got the FA Cup as well. Lincoln's chairman is joining us on

:44:37. > :44:38.the phone in an hour. Coverage of England vs Scotland

:44:39. > :44:41.will be live on BBC Radio 5 live You're watching

:44:42. > :44:50.Breakfast from BBC News. The main story this morning: Olympic

:44:51. > :44:53.cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC that the entire board must

:44:54. > :44:57.go after a draft independent report criticises the leadership

:44:58. > :44:58.of the organisation. The United Nations says the world

:44:59. > :45:01.is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20

:45:02. > :45:04.million people in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan

:45:05. > :45:11.and Nigeria at risk of famine. Here's Louise with a look

:45:12. > :45:22.at this morning's weather. It's a very important sporting day,

:45:23. > :45:26.but it doesn't look great in that photo!

:45:27. > :45:30.Actually, today is the best of the two days. A lot of dry weather

:45:31. > :45:38.around if you are off to sporting events. But look at Devon on our

:45:39. > :45:42.good. A murky start. -- an hour ago. This is Kent. I will find some

:45:43. > :45:46.northern Weather Watcher pictures in a bit. We are optimistic that the

:45:47. > :45:50.best sunshine will be in the south-east corner. There's a lot of

:45:51. > :45:54.cloud across the country and some rain moving across Scotland as we

:45:55. > :45:59.speak. Some of it is quite heavy, but it will weaken as it pushes to

:46:00. > :46:03.the borders. Behind it, and improving picture. Drizzly rain

:46:04. > :46:06.across Northern Ireland. Eventually pushing the north-west Wales and

:46:07. > :46:15.northern England. A fair amount of cloud. The emphasis is generally for

:46:16. > :46:19.a dry story, a mild story and sunshine breaking through across

:46:20. > :46:23.southern and south-eastern areas. That will allow for warmth to

:46:24. > :46:29.trigger off. We could see mid to high teens in a couple of spots. 17

:46:30. > :46:32.degrees likely in the south-east. A mild feel. Elsewhere, the cloud and

:46:33. > :46:36.patchy rain sitting across northern England and north Wales.

:46:37. > :46:41.Temperatures foot Twickenham the same as in Rome, can you believe

:46:42. > :46:45.that? Blue sky and sunshine. Not looking bad for the FA Cup sixth

:46:46. > :46:50.round. A lot of cloud and there could be drizzly rain into

:46:51. > :46:55.Middlesbrough versus Man City. Elsewhere through the night there is

:46:56. > :47:00.more rain to come. If you thought today is looking miserable, think

:47:01. > :47:05.again. Some showery outbreaks moving in from the west and another weather

:47:06. > :47:08.front moves into it. It will be mild, with cloud and rain around,

:47:09. > :47:14.but we will be surrounded by weather fronts. One clearing from the east,

:47:15. > :47:18.another on catching up and it will bring outbreaks of rain. Some of its

:47:19. > :47:22.heavy for a time. There will be a gradual improvement, but for many on

:47:23. > :47:27.Sunday there will be rain around first thing. It will be a soggy

:47:28. > :47:32.affair if you are watching the kids on the touchline. Western Scotland,

:47:33. > :47:37.south-west England and Northern Ireland will brighten up. Sunny

:47:38. > :47:42.spells and scattered showers, but generally a decent feel. Perhaps a

:47:43. > :47:43.maximum of 13. Thanks very much.

:47:44. > :47:46.We'll be back with the headlines at 8am.

:47:47. > :47:52.Now on Breakfast, it's time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.

:47:53. > :47:54.Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed.

:47:55. > :48:08.What's the BBC's economics editor doing standing in the street, trying

:48:09. > :48:11.to catch numbers? And do we need to know that this distinguished human

:48:12. > :48:19.rights lawyer is married to a Hollywood film star? It is an annual

:48:20. > :48:24.challenge for BBC News. How to make the complex economics of the budget

:48:25. > :48:28.accessible, without dumbing down? It was only to be expected that there

:48:29. > :48:32.were plenty of numbers around this week, at what surprised many viewers

:48:33. > :48:36.was that in a preview on Monday some of the numbers seemed to be flying

:48:37. > :48:41.right into the hands of the BBC's economics editor Kamal Ahmed.

:48:42. > :48:47.Inflation could hit 2.8% by the end of the year and that could mean a

:48:48. > :48:54.squeeze on living standards. The price of fuel has already hit an 18

:48:55. > :48:58.month high. It costs now ?9 more to fill up the average family car than

:48:59. > :49:04.it did one year ago. And what about the all-important issue of business

:49:05. > :49:10.confidence? Well, the latest survey suggests that confidence is

:49:11. > :49:14.declining. Graham was incredulity at what he saw and left us this

:49:15. > :49:20.telephone message. He was standing in the street, like Sesame Street,

:49:21. > :49:26.with figures coming down out of the sky! This lost all credibility for

:49:27. > :49:33.the news whatsoever, because it completely distracted by all the

:49:34. > :49:37.things going on around him. This is just another example of the new is

:49:38. > :49:42.totally dumbing down. Just give us the news so people -- from people

:49:43. > :49:47.who know what they are talking about in the studio. Thank you very much.

:49:48. > :49:51.Elsewhere, other figures and words. They popped up in a nearby

:49:52. > :49:57.countryside and there was also a strong line and funny descriptions

:49:58. > :50:02.in nature, which also applies to the economic outlook. With little

:50:03. > :50:06.discernible Brexit effect, what has been behind the sun continuing to

:50:07. > :50:10.shine of the UK's finances? To the economic waters at the moment are

:50:11. > :50:13.not too treacherous for Philip Hammond, but this will not be a

:50:14. > :50:19.budget full of big evil ways, despite the brighter economic

:50:20. > :50:22.environment. -- big ways. After hearing those lines and watching the

:50:23. > :50:29.graphics, another view were recorded his views on the report. It was

:50:30. > :50:37.frustrating and distracting, so much so I can't recall what the report

:50:38. > :50:42.was about. When they first used PowerPoint they used every gimmick

:50:43. > :50:49.available that was relevant to the audience. I appreciate graphics,

:50:50. > :50:52.maybe in the studio when the presenter talks to the screen. We

:50:53. > :50:57.don't need to be entertained by the news presentation. In another report

:50:58. > :51:01.the following night, more numbers were dropping down from the sky,

:51:02. > :51:08.although this time not in the Kemal Ahmed's hands. Others were on the

:51:09. > :51:14.pavement beside him and there were visual metaphors. To bridge that...

:51:15. > :51:20.He was on a bridge over the river, which became the back drop for a

:51:21. > :51:25.rather spectacular charter. Was this invention of fun way of making a

:51:26. > :51:31.complex matter more accessible, or dumbing down? Richard enjoyed the

:51:32. > :51:35.tricks saying: loving the graphics tonight.

:51:36. > :52:06.Well, let's explore those reactions with the editor

:52:07. > :52:09.of the BBC's news at six and ten, Hillary O'Neill.

:52:10. > :52:11.Viewers do understand that you are using graphics

:52:12. > :52:13.to try to make it clear and understandable.

:52:14. > :52:16.But these ones, the figures dropping out of the sky,

:52:17. > :52:22.Every single number there was relevant, it was a reason,

:52:23. > :52:25.the locations had been thought through and were therefore a reason.

:52:26. > :52:28.I thought it was informative and creative and entertaining

:52:29. > :52:30.and actually I don't have a problem with it myself.

:52:31. > :52:35.I do understand if some viewers thought it was slightly distracting,

:52:36. > :52:39.but all we are trying to do, we have a whole big collection

:52:40. > :52:42.of numbers and an awful lot of material to get through,

:52:43. > :52:46.is to make it as clear as we possibly can and to do that

:52:47. > :52:49.in a way that engages the viewer, and that isn't just numbers

:52:50. > :52:53.It's nice to get out and about sometimes.

:52:54. > :52:56.It's interesting that you deliberately left the studio

:52:57. > :52:59.for that reason, because viewers say it ended up being distracting.

:53:00. > :53:02.You know, he's standing around doing this in the middle of the street

:53:03. > :53:06.and in the end it is a number that he has just said out loud.

:53:07. > :53:09.It's not that there is anything graphic on the representation

:53:10. > :53:11.of the number that helps you understand anything.

:53:12. > :53:14.I think if there was only one number, I'd accept that.

:53:15. > :53:18.I think when you have a piece with an awful lot of numbers,

:53:19. > :53:22.maybe the viewers who complained are just super numerate in a way

:53:23. > :53:24.that I'm not and experts on the economy, again,

:53:25. > :53:30.We do know that a whole range of people, which we are glad about,

:53:31. > :53:34.And we need to try to accommodate people who don't necessarily already

:53:35. > :53:37.Lots of the audience research shows that,

:53:38. > :53:40.first of all, people have a vague idea, quite often,

:53:41. > :53:45.Secondly, even if they do know the detail, they don't mind

:53:46. > :53:47.being reminded of it, especially ahead of a big

:53:48. > :53:55.A specific complaint made by one of the viewers on webcam was that it

:53:56. > :53:57.just looks like the BBC's graphics team

:53:58. > :54:00.got carried away by what you can do, rather than what is useful.

:54:01. > :54:03.An interesting example is with the scene on the street,

:54:04. > :54:05.there was an inflation figure which was up,

:54:06. > :54:08.but it dropped down from the sky, which is completely illogical.

:54:09. > :54:11.Well, the details of what goes up and what goes down...

:54:12. > :54:15.If a graphic is supposed to be clear,

:54:16. > :54:18.you have a figure that is going up, and it comes down!

:54:19. > :54:24.I suppose you can pick up one tiny detail and say it should have come

:54:25. > :54:28.I think overall, you are right that these things keep changing

:54:29. > :54:33.Tha'ts because the technology allows us to.

:54:34. > :54:37.We don't want to get on the wrong side of that and start doing things

:54:38. > :54:39.just for the sake of it, at that thing

:54:40. > :54:42.would have been meticulously planned and thought through,

:54:43. > :54:45.as the only motivation behind it would have been trying to make

:54:46. > :54:48.what is sometimes a very dry chunk of information interesting

:54:49. > :54:52.You know, I'm sorry if some viewers found it a bit distracting,

:54:53. > :54:54.and we always need to take into consideration -

:54:55. > :54:57.have we gone too far, are we serving our audience

:54:58. > :55:01.And of course that's what we'll continue to do.

:55:02. > :55:04.In the two reports we were looking at, viewers say the one

:55:05. > :55:06.where Kamal Ahmad is out in elaborate locations,

:55:07. > :55:08.viewers thought he was pushing quite childish metaphors.

:55:09. > :55:12.Could you have not just done it in the studio?

:55:13. > :55:17.I mean, how many times do we do things about storm clouds

:55:18. > :55:25.In fairness, he was in those locations for a reason.

:55:26. > :55:27.He was in the Hampshire, specifically because consumer

:55:28. > :55:30.spending is up there and that was a reflection

:55:31. > :55:32.of the story that he was partly telling.

:55:33. > :55:36.And also unemployment is at its lowest.

:55:37. > :55:40.In the second piece he went to that location because it is an area

:55:41. > :55:42.where although the economy is growing a little,

:55:43. > :55:44.it's below where the rest of the UK is growing.

:55:45. > :55:51.It is slightly unfair that we come in for a lot of criticism sometimes

:55:52. > :55:53.as an organisation, and as a news organisation,

:55:54. > :55:57.for sticking to London all the time and sort of being in a studio

:55:58. > :56:00.and doing it all from a metropolitan point of view.

:56:01. > :56:10.Do let us know what you think about the visual presentation

:56:11. > :56:12.of television news, or any aspect of BBC News,

:56:13. > :56:19.stay tuned for details on how to contact us.

:56:20. > :56:21.There was another example this week of the BBC's graphics department

:56:22. > :56:24.being busy making numbers fly around the screen,

:56:25. > :56:26.in a report from Justin Rolat about possible restrictions

:56:27. > :56:28.on visas being given to Indians wanting to work

:56:29. > :56:33.But it was the way the piece started that annoyed another viewer.

:56:34. > :56:36.She graduated from a top US university.

:56:37. > :56:43.She has worked as a software engineer for Microsoft and Facebook.

:56:44. > :56:47.But she isn't sure she would be welcome in America any more.

:56:48. > :56:50.I believe engineers like me are being pushed out

:56:51. > :56:56.Well, Sue Robson rang us after watching that

:56:57. > :57:05.An item about Trump's restrictions on engineers from India taking jobs

:57:06. > :57:11.You've just shown an Indian engineer putting on her eye make-up

:57:12. > :57:13.and getting dressed, buttoning up her dress

:57:14. > :57:24.And this is on International Women's Day.

:57:25. > :57:28.If she was a man, you would not have shown him putting back his hair,

:57:29. > :57:39.The charge of sexism was also made on Tuesday after an item on the News

:57:40. > :57:42.at Six about the persecution of the Yazidi people in Iraq.

:57:43. > :57:54.Tomorrow, the lawyer acting on behalf of the Yazidis

:57:55. > :57:59.Amal Clooney, the husband of Hollywood film star

:58:00. > :58:02.George Clooney, told me why she has decided to represent the Yazidis

:58:03. > :58:04.and why their cause is important to her.

:58:05. > :58:07.Vivian Davies was one of a number of viewers who had this

:58:08. > :58:14.Is it really necessary to mention the fact that Amal Clooney

:58:15. > :58:20.is married to George Clooney every time she is featured in a news item?

:58:21. > :58:25.Mrs Clooney is an intelligent woman who is doing the job that she does

:58:26. > :58:28.because it's that intelligence, together with her knowledge

:58:29. > :58:30.and experience, and not because she's married

:58:31. > :58:40.Finally, back to the Budget, and the numbers, specifically

:58:41. > :58:43.the amount of extra funding for social care announced

:58:44. > :58:53.He'll spend ?2 billion of taxpayers' money on social care in England.

:58:54. > :58:56.?1 billion available in the next 12 months.

:58:57. > :58:59.And there is a longer term review of how to pay to look

:59:00. > :59:03.Jonathan Ruddle described himself as frustrated by the coverage,

:59:04. > :59:27.With that plea, we leave you this week.

:59:28. > :59:33.If you want to share your opinions on BBC News and current affairs

:59:34. > :59:50.We'll be back to hear your thoughts about BBC News coverage

:59:51. > :00:20.Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:00:21. > :00:23.The crisis in British Cycling - Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has

:00:24. > :00:27.told the BBC that the entire board must go.

:00:28. > :00:29.A draft independent report - leaked to the Daily Mail -

:00:30. > :00:32.criticises what it calls the dysfunctional and inept

:00:33. > :00:41.For me all I want is the truth to be out there, because it's the truth

:00:42. > :00:57.and that's what people should know. Good morning it's Saturday

:00:58. > :01:01.the 11th of March. The United Nations warns

:01:02. > :01:04.that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945,

:01:05. > :01:08.as millions of people face starvation and famine

:01:09. > :01:12.in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts -

:01:13. > :01:15.computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds

:01:16. > :01:19.is to be made illegal with law And in sport, Wales knock

:01:20. > :01:25.down Ireland's hopes of winning the Six nations,

:01:26. > :01:29.as George North hands England the chance to retain their crown

:01:30. > :01:34.today, if they can beat Scotland. The school that's encouraging

:01:46. > :01:52.It's a cloudy start across the country, but a mild one (sunshine

:01:53. > :01:57.today, topping and tailing the country. All the details coming up.

:01:58. > :01:59.Our main story today. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told

:02:00. > :02:02.the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making

:02:03. > :02:05.allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published

:02:06. > :02:07.in the Daily Mail, claims British Cycling sanitised its own

:02:08. > :02:11.inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's

:02:12. > :02:14.sports editor, Dan Roan, she believed the truth

:02:15. > :02:19.was finally coming out. Representing Great Britain,

:02:20. > :02:22.Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner

:02:23. > :02:25.who became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations

:02:26. > :02:27.of sexism last year plunged Nothing has been in control,

:02:28. > :02:37.everything has been out I had nobody to turn

:02:38. > :02:44.to within the organisation. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped

:02:45. > :02:48.Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year,

:02:49. > :02:51.was found to have used sexist language towards her,

:02:52. > :02:54.but was cleared of eight of nine According to a draft report

:02:55. > :03:00.of an investigation leaked to the Daily Mail, findings

:03:01. > :03:03.of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were reversed

:03:04. > :03:08.by British Cycling's board. I am relieved that the

:03:09. > :03:14.truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar

:03:15. > :03:18.to post just to get this, and to see that it was

:03:19. > :03:22.a cover-up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling

:03:23. > :03:24.admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well-being

:03:25. > :03:28.of staff, but it said that reforms Those people who say it is sour

:03:29. > :03:33.grapes because you weren't selected for Rio, you will have

:03:34. > :03:35.heard those arguments, When people say it's bitterness,

:03:36. > :03:40.that's all they have If people knew me and saw

:03:41. > :03:45.what I was doing with my life and how I have turned things around,

:03:46. > :03:48.they would know the truth. They would know that

:03:49. > :03:50.I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work

:03:51. > :03:52.in cycling coaching again? Varnish says she is now

:03:53. > :03:58.considering whether to sue British Cycling

:03:59. > :04:00.for unfair dismissal. The world is facing its biggest

:04:01. > :04:08.humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people

:04:09. > :04:11.at risk of starvation and famine. That's according to the United

:04:12. > :04:14.Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded

:04:15. > :04:17.for help for people in Yemen, She lives in Yemen, where two thirds

:04:18. > :04:30.of the population need food aid, The United Nations has been told

:04:31. > :04:38.the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis

:04:39. > :04:41.for the organisation We stand at a critical

:04:42. > :04:49.point in our history. Already, at the beginning

:04:50. > :04:52.of the year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis

:04:53. > :04:54.since the creation of the United Now, more than 20 million people

:04:55. > :04:59.across four countries face In South Sudan, more

:05:00. > :05:08.than one million children and there is a cholera outbreak

:05:09. > :05:14.to deal with as well. The UN says billions of dollars

:05:15. > :05:17.is needed from the international community to feed the hungry,

:05:18. > :05:20.but so far only a fraction of that The overall requirement

:05:21. > :05:24.for South Sudan this year stands As of now, we have received

:05:25. > :05:31.9.3% of that amount, The United Nations says

:05:32. > :05:43.famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep

:05:44. > :05:51.into its pockets, right now. Pope Francis has said

:05:52. > :05:53.the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men

:05:54. > :05:55.to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper,

:05:56. > :05:58.he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply

:05:59. > :06:02.in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world

:06:03. > :06:08.where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner,

:09:12. > :09:14.Nearly a year since allegations of sexism first began to emerge -

:09:15. > :09:17.a leaked draft report has this week delivered a damning indictment

:09:18. > :09:22.Now the original whistle-blower, Jess Varnish, has called

:09:23. > :09:27.She spoke to the BBC's Dan Roan in her first broadcast interview

:09:28. > :09:29.and the Daily Mail's sports correspondent Martha Kelner

:09:30. > :09:37.Good morning to you. Morning. First of all, what Jess is saying in the

:09:38. > :09:43.interview is incredibly strong. She's saying the whole system is

:09:44. > :09:50.wrong should be got rid of. Yeah, I think she's justified for having

:09:51. > :09:54.those views. They're quite serious allegations that are made in this

:09:55. > :10:00.leaked report which the Daily Mail's seen. They say that there was a

:10:01. > :10:03.separate investigation into claims of sexism that Jess Varnish made

:10:04. > :10:07.against her former coach, which he resigned over. This draft report

:10:08. > :10:10.says that the findings of the original report were not just

:10:11. > :10:15.sanitised but the findings were reversed. So this is a huge cover

:10:16. > :10:19.up. You can understand her saying that she thinks the entire British

:10:20. > :10:24.cycling board, which rubber stamped that cover up, should go. She has

:10:25. > :10:30.had a fair old time of it. She was the person who put her head above

:10:31. > :10:35.the parapet to start with. Yes, I saw her yesterday along with Dan

:10:36. > :10:40.Roan. She was saying exactly a year ago today since she was let go from

:10:41. > :10:44.the British cycling elite performance programme. She'd been

:10:45. > :10:50.there 11 years. She was a potential medallist going to Rio. Within a

:10:51. > :10:55.space of a week her life fell apart. She decided to speak out and she

:10:56. > :10:59.has, you know, it's emboldened other people who were in the system to

:11:00. > :11:02.speak out. It's created the debate about elite sport basically and what

:11:03. > :11:06.you have to do to get the best out of your athletes. You mention the

:11:07. > :11:09.issue of the cover up, which is in many stories, sometimes becomes a

:11:10. > :11:14.bigger story than the original problem. From what you understand

:11:15. > :11:21.from this report are individuals named in relation to the cover up?

:11:22. > :11:29.Not in relation to the cover up. But the board, it was a UK Sport-funded

:11:30. > :11:34.investigation. The board said that they believe from what they have

:11:35. > :11:41.read that the findings of the original report into Jess Varnish's

:11:42. > :11:45.claims of sexism and discrimination against Shane Sutton were not

:11:46. > :11:48.sanitised they were reversed. If that's the case, is it tenable, Jess

:11:49. > :11:52.was asked the question, can those people remain in their roles for the

:11:53. > :11:57.sport to have any kind of legitimacy, what do you think? I

:11:58. > :12:03.personally agree with Jess. I think the positions of that board is

:12:04. > :12:07.untenable. Because British cycling is, make no bones about it, it's a

:12:08. > :12:12.sport in crisis. The MP Damien Collins said it was in tatters. More

:12:13. > :12:17.so than that, I think this board does have to go because they want to

:12:18. > :12:22.move into this era of transparency and change. If you've got people who

:12:23. > :12:26.have allegedly have done something as serious as a cover up then how

:12:27. > :12:30.can you move forward? Do you know, do you have any insight about what

:12:31. > :12:34.is going on in British cycling at the moment? What's the atmosphere

:12:35. > :12:38.like within the team now? Go back a few years, to the London Olympics,

:12:39. > :12:43.those glorious, fantastic days in the velodrome, when everybody was

:12:44. > :12:47.so, you know, the mood was incredible, everybody so happy.

:12:48. > :12:53.What's it like there now? From what I hear it's a bit of a bizarre

:12:54. > :12:58.atmosphere. You've got the new chair Jonathan Browning, who briefed the

:12:59. > :13:01.riders last week about a 39-point plan to move forward, but then

:13:02. > :13:07.obviously, he's been dragged back into this crisis from the leaked

:13:08. > :13:12.report. I think it's an odd situation because you do have

:13:13. > :13:15.British cycling from a performance point of view and medal point of

:13:16. > :13:19.view. They've done fantastically well. We dominated in Rio as we did

:13:20. > :13:24.in London and Beijing before that. You have that on one hand. But I

:13:25. > :13:29.believe you can have an environment where some people flourish, but

:13:30. > :13:33.others feel like this draft report said, some people are traumatised by

:13:34. > :13:37.their experience. There I don't think the two ideas are mutually

:13:38. > :13:39.exclusive. You can have good medal performances and have happy

:13:40. > :13:44.athletes. Doesn't suit everybody. Exactly. You're here as a

:13:45. > :13:47.journalist, not as someone involved on either side. But the issue you

:13:48. > :13:50.were raising there, there will be people watching this thinking, you

:13:51. > :13:55.know what, we were all celebrating when British cycling did so well. We

:13:56. > :14:02.knew it was a tough regime. They boasted of their meticulous detail

:14:03. > :14:04.they went into, there will be a thought process, notwithstanding the

:14:05. > :14:08.terrible things that have maybe happened to individuals, if you want

:14:09. > :14:11.success, there are certain things that you wouldn't otherwise have to

:14:12. > :14:14.accept in ordinary work place that's are different in those environments.

:14:15. > :14:20.What do you make of that kind of argument? Yeah, I think it is an

:14:21. > :14:25.interesting debate. I think it's important that it does come to

:14:26. > :14:30.fruition. I think, as I said, you can have both. You can have an

:14:31. > :14:36.environment where athletes are happy but also performing well. Jess said

:14:37. > :14:39.she obviously has had many things levelled at her, predominantly that

:14:40. > :14:42.she's bitter and that's why she's speaking out. She was in the

:14:43. > :14:47.programme for 11 years. She says she is tough. She is a hard worker. You

:14:48. > :14:50.don't survive for 11 years if you're particularly weak. I should say

:14:51. > :14:54.before we let you go, we have a statement from British cycling. "The

:14:55. > :14:58.board of British cycling is wholly committed to embracing the draft

:14:59. > :15:01.recommendations and findings of the review has already drawn up a

:15:02. > :15:04.detailed action plan in response to the whole thing. The board may

:15:05. > :15:08.disagree with the factual accuracy of certain points in the independent

:15:09. > :15:14.review. It believes the sport is best served by driving forward the

:15:15. > :15:15.action plan." We'll see. Yeah, Martha, thank you very much for

:15:16. > :15:22.joining us. It's 8. 15 exactly. Let's look at

:15:23. > :15:28.the weather. Louise has the details. Hi there. Half an hour ago I had two

:15:29. > :15:33.weather watcher pictures down to the south. Don't want to be accused of

:15:34. > :15:37.being south Seb trick, so this is in the north. This is cloudy and

:15:38. > :15:40.there's some outbreaks of rain in Scotland as we speak. Different

:15:41. > :15:43.story in Kent. The sunshine is already up and you'll probably see

:15:44. > :15:47.the best of the weather and the warmth today. The reason being for

:15:48. > :15:52.the two contrasts is this weather front into the north-west. It is

:15:53. > :15:58.going to drift steadily southwards through the morning. Weaken off

:15:59. > :16:02.considerably as well. An improving picture into the far north by 9am.

:16:03. > :16:05.You could see sunshine later on. Showery, drizzly rain into Northern

:16:06. > :16:09.Ireland. Eventually into the Isle of Man through the latter stages of the

:16:10. > :16:12.morning. At 9am, cloud across northern England down into the

:16:13. > :16:15.Midlands and into the south-west. But it's mild with it. In actual

:16:16. > :16:19.fact across England and Wales it's going to be a mild day generally.

:16:20. > :16:23.Best of the sunshine likely to be down into the south-east.

:16:24. > :16:27.Temperatures will respond. Cloud nibbling away really up into the

:16:28. > :16:32.Midlands. Brighter, sunnier skies into the afternoon. 17 degrees the

:16:33. > :16:36.high, 63 Fahrenheit. Our weather front by then a band of drizzle, a

:16:37. > :16:40.nuisance. That means that for much of the sporting events taking place,

:16:41. > :16:44.it's perfect weather conditions - light winds, dry with sunshine

:16:45. > :16:46.coming through. Pleasant enough, 15 degrees at Twickenham this

:16:47. > :16:52.afternoon. There could be drizzle around for the Middlesbrough match.

:16:53. > :16:55.Kickoff at lunch time. But Arsenal, Lincoln for the 6th round FA Cup

:16:56. > :16:59.should be dry with some sunshine. Overnight we might see more rain

:17:00. > :17:02.arriving. It will be cloudy. There'll be coastal and hill fog.

:17:03. > :17:06.Showery rain for a time. Another weather front by the end of the

:17:07. > :17:12.night pushing into the west. That brings heavier rain. Mild night, not

:17:13. > :17:15.a cold one at all. But these two weather fronts almost merging

:17:16. > :17:18.together on Sunday. So however you look at it, it is going to be a

:17:19. > :17:24.miserable start to the second half of the weekend. Some rain around.

:17:25. > :17:26.The rain pushing in from the west, it gradually moves steadily

:17:27. > :17:29.eastwards. That means improvement for Northern Ireland, for western

:17:30. > :17:32.Scotland, Wales and south-west England. Sunny spells and scattered

:17:33. > :17:37.showers into the afternoon. But a different day for the south-east in

:17:38. > :17:41.comparison to today with 17 degrees, 10 to 13 at the very best. And the

:17:42. > :17:43.rain could linger all day. Back to you two.

:17:44. > :17:51.Oh, dear Louise. Thank you. For 50 years the laws on abortion

:17:52. > :17:53.have remained unchanged, meaning a woman must

:17:54. > :17:55.have the consent of two doctors Under those rules a woman who takes

:17:56. > :18:00.a pill at home could potentially Now a Labour MP is calling

:18:01. > :18:03.for the legislation to be updated. But pro-life critics say

:18:04. > :18:06.it could pave the way for sex selective abortions

:18:07. > :18:08.and terminations on demand. My first reaction was,

:18:09. > :18:13.I don't want to have a baby. Straightaway, how am I going to care

:18:14. > :18:17.for this being when I can't even Emily tells me why

:18:18. > :18:21.she had an abortion. She was broke, she had

:18:22. > :18:24.depression, she couldn't cope. She had to wait one

:18:25. > :18:27.month for a termination. I was googling ways to induce

:18:28. > :18:40.miscarriage and I think that You're risking women's lives because

:18:41. > :18:43.I could have really hurt myself during that time.

:18:44. > :18:45.You could have faced a jail sentence?

:18:46. > :18:51.To punish a woman who is already in such an unstable

:18:52. > :18:57.What do you think you're doing to that woman's life?

:18:58. > :19:01.Just under 200,000 abortions were carried out in the UK in 2015,

:19:02. > :19:06.The NHS says women should wait about two weeks,

:19:07. > :19:13.Figures indicate these tablets used to miscarry are increasingly

:19:14. > :19:15.being bought illegally online by women who refuse to wait.

:19:16. > :19:25.Now, this is unlike any other medical procedure.

:19:26. > :19:28.But no other procedure involves ending a life and that's what's key

:19:29. > :19:36.We trust women to make decisions about their lives,

:19:37. > :19:40.about their healthcare, and abortion should be no different.

:19:41. > :19:43.But others say the delay that comes with not one but two GPs

:19:44. > :19:49.is essential when deciding the fate of not one but two lives.

:19:50. > :19:52.Many women go for that initial consultation and by the time

:19:53. > :19:54.they come back they actually change their minds.

:19:55. > :19:57.It's an important step in the process to make sure women

:19:58. > :19:59.are making the right decision for them.

:20:00. > :20:02.Do you have any statistics to back that argument up?

:20:03. > :20:05.We do know that about 30% of women who go for initial consultations

:20:06. > :20:11.The difficulty with the termination is once you have done that,

:20:12. > :20:15.if it's a rushed process, you can't change your mind.

:20:16. > :20:19.Her office later said this figure had been given by a leading

:20:20. > :20:21.clinician. We could find no evidence of it.

:20:22. > :20:26.But while the Royal College of Midwives has backed the petition,

:20:27. > :20:33.-- the proposal, more than a thousand midwives have joined a "not

:20:34. > :20:41.in my name" petition. They fear it could pave the way for sex selection

:20:42. > :20:44.abortions on demand. We didn't achieve what I always

:20:45. > :20:49.believed was what women needed, which was choice.

:20:50. > :20:53.Diana Monday was a key figure calling for change in the '60s, just

:20:54. > :20:56.as she is today. I was a lone public voice,

:20:57. > :20:59.but I was not the only person They were all there, the voices,

:21:00. > :21:03.but they were unheard and unfortunately

:21:04. > :21:09.they stayed unheard. They still are unheard. I am

:21:10. > :21:13.appalled. 50 years later on, we are still fighting for this. Oh, my

:21:14. > :21:15.goodness. She shows me the hate

:21:16. > :21:20.mail her campaign attracted Letters from women who pleaded

:21:21. > :21:23.for help in another. That fine line between the rights

:21:24. > :21:26.of a woman and the rights of an unborn child will be

:21:27. > :21:37.scrutinised again on Monday. It's 8. 8.21am. This is Breakfast

:21:38. > :21:41.from BBC News. It's time for a look at today's newspapers.

:21:42. > :21:43.The writer and broadcaster Tim Walker is here to tell us

:21:44. > :21:53.Morning. Let's whiz through the front pages first. On the Daily

:21:54. > :21:57.Mail. They're looking at the Budget and some of the stealth taxes

:21:58. > :22:01.they're talking about, specifically about death taxes, saying that many

:22:02. > :22:08.people have to take out a loan just to pay the bills after they die.

:22:09. > :22:11.Front page of the Times there, Theresa May, yeah. That's what we're

:22:12. > :22:16.talking about. We're talking about the picture on the front page in a

:22:17. > :22:20.moment with Tim. On the front of the Guardian: These are quotes from

:22:21. > :22:26.Bernie Sanders about Donald Trump, can you see the headline there.

:22:27. > :22:30.Pathological liar. Ticket touts is the other story there. Touts who use

:22:31. > :22:33.software to buy concert tickets in bulk could face major fines.

:22:34. > :22:40.Should we leave that there and talk to Tim? Got a bit confused which

:22:41. > :22:45.story is which. I'll make you confused. Pick out your story. The

:22:46. > :22:51.hangover from Philip Hammond's first Budget continues. The Tory

:22:52. > :22:56.supporting Daily Telegraph quotes a poll that the decision to break the

:22:57. > :22:59.party's 2015 general election pledge not to raise national insurance

:23:00. > :23:05.means now just one in four voters see the Tories as a low-tax party.

:23:06. > :23:12.55% of those polled since Theresa May's should have honoured her

:23:13. > :23:15.party's pledge not to raise taxes. More woringly for the Prime

:23:16. > :23:21.Minister, they say the Budget has made people less likely to vote

:23:22. > :23:23.Conservative. It's said Mrs May's eight-month honeymoon has come to an

:23:24. > :23:27.end at the worst possible time because of Brexit. People are, I

:23:28. > :23:31.don't know if they are still talking about a quick election, is this now

:23:32. > :23:36.the situation where she might be thinking, you know, that really

:23:37. > :23:40.isn't going to happen, she might do a Gordon Brown? The issue of course

:23:41. > :23:44.is where is the Opposition. She knows exactly where they are in the

:23:45. > :23:47.polls. It almost seems unsporting frankly to have an election now.

:23:48. > :23:52.It's like having a football match when the away team hasn't bothered

:23:53. > :23:55.to show up. The Times today says, a very interesting poll of Labour

:23:56. > :24:00.Party members, just not ordinary people, Labour Party members, the

:24:01. > :24:08.very people that put Corbyn into his job, they are saying that a YouGov

:24:09. > :24:14.poll shows that 46% of them now see Sir Keir Starmer as the best man to

:24:15. > :24:17.lead the party. 46%? 46%, if Mr Corbyn steps down he's very much the

:24:18. > :24:22.favourite. More than half of the party members who voted for Corbyn

:24:23. > :24:26.in the first place, 54% now see him as a poor leader and a majority

:24:27. > :24:36.believe Mr Corbyn should step down before the election. The The pledge

:24:37. > :24:38.thing you were talking about and this applies to all political

:24:39. > :24:41.parties, be careful what you pledge. They are saying there were

:24:42. > :24:45.technicalities, there were brackets that follow the pledge. That's not

:24:46. > :24:47.what people take from a pledge. No, and the spirit has to be observed,

:24:48. > :24:51.not just the letter of it. They tried to get out of it on the

:24:52. > :24:55.technicalities. You know with these polls I read in newspapers, they

:24:56. > :24:59.always have the "don't knows" I wonder what will happen if the don't

:25:00. > :25:03.knows seem to form a Government. They're getting more and more

:25:04. > :25:08.strong. Where are we going next? The Guardian writes the story of Katie

:25:09. > :25:13.Hopkins and the trouble she's got into with regard to Twitter. When I

:25:14. > :25:17.write a story for a newspaper, I've got the editor, I've got lawyers,

:25:18. > :25:20.subeditors, colleagues sitting round me saying, like, sergeant Wilson in

:25:21. > :25:24.Dad's Army, is that wise? Do you really want to say that Hopkins,

:25:25. > :25:28.like everybody who is brave enough to go on Twitter, she's there on her

:25:29. > :25:32.own. She writes something, she doesn't check the facts. She gets

:25:33. > :25:37.into trouble. Here, this woman who also writes a column for the Daily

:25:38. > :25:41.Mail, but interestingly they don't run the story today, rightly they've

:25:42. > :25:45.nothing to do with this. This is her in her own life saying this. She's

:25:46. > :25:49.been ordered to pay ?24,000 libel damages, plus legal costs running

:25:50. > :25:58.well into six figures to the writer and food blogger Jack Monroe, who

:25:59. > :26:01.she mixed up with somebody else who desecrated war memorials. This begs

:26:02. > :26:06.the question about the notion people have about Twitter being somehow

:26:07. > :26:09.different from other forms of communication, in the past people

:26:10. > :26:12.have got into trouble for. People think about it, well we put it out

:26:13. > :26:17.there and it's gone. It's not of consequence. You need to. I would

:26:18. > :26:22.advise everybody on Twitter to mug up on your libel. You've got to be

:26:23. > :26:25.careful. Some of these Twitter followers, they will do a tweet read

:26:26. > :26:29.by more people than do a newspaper. They have to take responsibility for

:26:30. > :26:32.their actions. We've seen a guy who made threats to Gina Miller online

:26:33. > :26:37.being in difficulties now with the police. Rightly so. We have to take

:26:38. > :26:39.responsibility, not just us in newspapers, everybody has to take

:26:40. > :26:42.responsibility when you are communicating with large numbers of

:26:43. > :26:45.people. Shall we cheer ourselves up a bit. I know this has been around a

:26:46. > :26:49.long time everybody. You've probably all seen it. We're going to show you

:26:50. > :26:53.again. It is just too funny to ignore today. This is the story

:26:54. > :26:59.about the interview on BBC world, this poor man was chatting to BBC

:27:00. > :27:07.News I think it was, and his two children totally stole the show.

:27:08. > :27:10.Let's just look at it. STUDIO: What will it mean for the

:27:11. > :27:14.wider region, I think one of your children has just walked in.

:27:15. > :27:21.Shifting sands in the region, relations with the north may change?

:27:22. > :27:34.I would be surprise today they do. Pardon me. My apologies. What's this

:27:35. > :27:43.going to mean for the region? My apologies. Erm...... North Korea,

:27:44. > :27:48.South Korea's policy towards North Korea have been severely limited in

:27:49. > :27:54.the last six months to a year... It's the way that when she's

:27:55. > :28:01.kneeling down, they might not be able to see her. It's like a classic

:28:02. > :28:05.panto, behind you! Pour Professor Robert Kelly, the eminent, serious

:28:17. > :28:19.people know, we do a lot of interviews with people now because

:28:20. > :28:22.of new technology at home, via Skype. I'm surprised it doesn't

:28:23. > :28:26.happen more often really. You often see people, they set themselves up

:28:27. > :28:30.in a position against a back drop of a wall or whatever, and that's

:28:31. > :28:34.possibly partly why. You get people saying, oh, God look at his interior

:28:39. > :28:41.when it's in the studio, it's anonymous, we don't have to keep

:28:42. > :28:44.looking behind us. That's in all the papers today. I really like your

:28:45. > :28:50.next story as well. This is in the Daily Mirror. Major Tim. The tabloid

:28:51. > :28:56.with a sense of humour. We need that now, my goodness. There are reports

:28:57. > :28:59.in other papers quoting by the way Harvard professors saying energy

:29:00. > :29:03.flashers that we see and are aware of in distant galaxies, could be

:29:04. > :29:08.alyens firing up their space craft. This is quite relevant what Sir Tim

:29:09. > :29:12.Peake is saying today, the British astronaut who spent 186 days on an

:29:13. > :29:16.International Space Station. He said he was never given any training

:29:17. > :29:21.about the etiquette in terms of what would happen if he met a martian or

:29:22. > :29:25.somebody from outer space. He reckons that was remiss. It reminds

:29:26. > :29:29.me of an advert in private eye recently in which two Martians came

:29:30. > :29:34.to earth, one said, "Take me to your leader." They're looking at Trump

:29:35. > :29:40.and one saying, "Seriously, take me to your leader." We will see you a

:29:41. > :29:44.little later, thank you. In the next half an hour, how do you greet your

:29:45. > :29:48.child at the end of the school day, with a smile or maybe with your head

:29:49. > :29:52.down in the mobile? Perhaps checking your phone? We ask whether one head

:30:36. > :30:38.Coming up, Louise will have the weekend's weather forecast for you.

:30:39. > :30:45.First, a summary of this morning's main news.

:30:46. > :30:48.The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown

:30:49. > :30:52.under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport.

:30:53. > :30:56.A leaked report, published in the Daily Mail, claims

:30:57. > :30:59.British Cycling sanitised its own inquiry into the claims.

:31:00. > :31:01.The Olympian told the BBC's sports editor, Dan Roan,

:31:02. > :31:09.she believed the truth was finally coming out.

:31:10. > :31:12.I have been pulled from pillar to post just to get this,

:31:13. > :31:19.and to see that it was a cover-up is huge.

:31:20. > :31:24.Why do you think they did that? To protect themselves. It's easier to

:31:25. > :31:26.throw me under the bus rather than the whole of cycling and for the

:31:27. > :31:31.truth to come out. The world is facing its biggest

:31:32. > :31:38.humanitarian crisis since 1945, that's according to the United

:31:39. > :31:40.Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded

:31:41. > :31:43.for help for people in Yemen, 1. 4 million children could starve

:31:44. > :31:53.this year alone. Pope Francis has said

:31:54. > :31:55.the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men

:31:56. > :31:57.to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper,

:31:58. > :32:00.he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply

:32:01. > :32:02.in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world

:32:03. > :32:06.where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner,

:32:07. > :32:08.who climbed onto a roof at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset

:32:09. > :32:11.before taking his clothes off and starting a fire,

:32:12. > :32:13.has been brought back down The blaze is understood

:32:14. > :32:18.to have caused extensive The inmate, who was protesting

:32:46. > :32:48.and sell them for inflated prices will face unlimited fines under

:33:05. > :33:07.a huge statue in a Cairo slum which is thought to be

:33:08. > :33:15.of Pharaoh Ramses the Second, The head and torso of the 26-feet

:33:16. > :33:18.high statue were found submerged in mud and ground water in the east

:33:19. > :33:24.of the city. Known as 'Ramses The Great',

:33:25. > :33:30.the pharaoh lived more than 3,000 years ago and is

:33:31. > :33:40.credited with expanding I think it looks like it's from a

:33:41. > :33:42.film set. From those pictures it's remarkably well-preserved given

:33:43. > :33:48.what's happened to it. We will see, they'll inspect it and determine

:33:49. > :33:55.whether it is real. Amazing. That was a big ear. Morning

:33:56. > :34:00.everyone. We are leading with football. FA Cup special with Dan. I

:34:01. > :34:20.agree with you. We are digressing. Lincoln beating

:34:21. > :34:25.Ipswich in whatever round it was was like climbing Everest and beating

:34:26. > :34:29.Brighton was getting to the moon. Where can they go now with Arsenal?

:34:30. > :34:36.They're playing good football, as well. They're not lumping the ball.

:34:37. > :34:40.You would expect Arsenal to I suppose pummell Lincoln in any other

:34:41. > :34:44.game. Arsenal are in this strange situation at the moment. Yes,

:34:45. > :34:48.they're favourites but Lincoln have done all the preparation, it's been

:34:49. > :34:51.perfect. No one thought they would do what they did at Burnley. It

:34:52. > :34:55.captures everything that we love about the FA Cup this weekend. As

:34:56. > :35:00.well as that we are looking to all the other FA Cup games on Football

:35:01. > :35:08.Focus this weekend and an eye on Monday night where Jose Mourinho

:35:09. > :35:11.goes back to Chelsea with Manchester United, we will play an interview

:35:12. > :35:16.with him, he talks about how he feels about going back to Chelsea. I

:35:17. > :35:23.am not looking for revenge, I am not looking for anything wrong or bad.

:35:24. > :35:31.If you say something special, maybe special, one thing is to have before

:35:32. > :35:36.and after the match a close super friend, so if he is different, it's

:35:37. > :35:40.different in a positive way, not different in a negative way. Are you

:35:41. > :35:44.surprised how well Chelsea have done this season? No, I am in the

:35:45. > :35:52.surprised, I am surprised with the way they play. I am surprised

:35:53. > :35:57.because I thought there were demandings of a different kind of

:35:58. > :36:03.football. Because I think Chelsea's phenomenal but Chelsea's an amazing

:36:04. > :36:08.defensive team. A little subtly there. You were

:36:09. > :36:13.asking whether he will get a good reception, I am sure he will, they

:36:14. > :36:20.still love him there. I have written down all the other bits that are on.

:36:21. > :36:29.Manchester City and Middlesbrough also in the FA Cup. Bournemouth with

:36:30. > :36:36.that game, Swansea, a couple of games at the bottom of the Premier

:36:37. > :36:41.League are meaningful and we are talking about Spurs and Millwall.

:36:42. > :36:46.That's all from midday on BBC One. Also on the list a pint of

:36:47. > :36:50.semiskimed and buns for later. In all honesty, my shopping list is the

:36:51. > :36:55.next thing! What's top of the shopping list? We have run out of

:36:56. > :37:04.grapes in the household. Is that for the guests? No, grapes and milk on

:37:05. > :37:10.the way home. It's always milk. Get some biscuits. All right. You

:37:11. > :37:17.will have a buzzy morning! We are talking to the Lincoln chairman in a

:37:18. > :37:20.moment, as well. Also we have a stunning goal. First, it's finally

:37:21. > :37:30.happened. Norwich have lost patience with their manager.

:37:31. > :37:33.And are hoping finding a replacement, which will

:37:34. > :37:36.push, while Brighton are on course to go up automatically.

:37:37. > :37:38.Anthony Knockaert got the Brighton party going,

:37:39. > :37:40.as they beat Derby 3-0, as the Seagulls moved level

:37:41. > :37:42.on points with Newcastle, at the top of the Championship.

:37:43. > :37:44.Derby have slipped to ten points, off the play-offs.

:37:45. > :37:54.This is what I am talking about, how about this for goal of the week?

:37:55. > :37:58.Hibs are ten points clear of their rivals. Bang, there it is, top

:37:59. > :38:06.corner! But he was sent off later for a

:38:07. > :38:07.second booking when he tried a Maradonna hands-style goal that

:38:08. > :38:10.obviously wasn't allowed. The Six Nations title

:38:11. > :38:12.is England's for the taking back after two defeats,

:38:13. > :38:21.and George North was unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries,

:38:22. > :38:24.and after holding off an Ireland fightback, Jamie Roberts rounded off

:38:25. > :38:26.the win late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish

:38:27. > :38:37.defending to make it 22-9 We knew there was going to be

:38:38. > :38:40.reaction and against one of the best sides in world rugby you have to

:38:41. > :38:46.play like that with and without the ball. There's a lot of hurt in the

:38:47. > :38:48.camp over the last couple of weeks, I am delighted and proud of the

:38:49. > :38:53.players, they deserve that. They've taken a lot of stick, the coaches

:38:54. > :38:57.and the players alike. We beat a very good Irish side today and I

:38:58. > :39:01.thought we beat them emphatically, as well.

:39:02. > :39:03.France play Italy in the first of today's Six Nations games

:39:04. > :39:06.and after that attention turns to the Calcutta Cup.

:39:07. > :39:08.Thanks to that Wales win, England could pick up

:39:09. > :39:10.the title with victory, while Scotland can go top,

:39:11. > :39:13.and claim pole position, if they can get a first win

:39:14. > :39:17.For England, Owen Farrell remains a doubt, after apparently falling

:39:18. > :39:25.England have up to an hour before kick-off to finalise their team,

:39:26. > :39:30.for what both coaches know, will be a hard-fought game.

:39:31. > :39:37.We're just concentrating on ourselves. We've had a great

:39:38. > :39:41.two-week preparation, we had a fantastic week at Oxford, trained

:39:42. > :39:48.well. We've had two good days of training here. We're really well

:39:49. > :39:53.prepared, we're looking forward to playing an historic Calcutta Cup.

:39:54. > :39:57.It's going to be about the players on the field, and we know our

:39:58. > :40:02.players know that we're going to have to be on our best performance

:40:03. > :40:05.on that day, during that 80 minutes, we will have to string together a

:40:06. > :40:11.number of excellent plays, whether it's in attack and defence and think

:40:12. > :40:12.clearly to get them to start adapting to our play. They're a very

:40:13. > :40:17.good team. Coverage is live from 3pm this

:40:18. > :40:23.afternoon. Kick-off is at 4pm. Yohanna Konta has won the battle

:40:24. > :40:26.of the Brits at the Indian Wells It's the first time Konta has

:40:27. > :40:30.met her Fed Cup team-mate Konta struggled at times

:40:31. > :40:34.in the hot California sun The second set was easier for Konta,

:40:35. > :40:41.frustrating for Watson. There are now 97 places between them

:40:42. > :40:44.in the world rankings. So Konta, the world number 11,

:40:45. > :40:48.moves into round 3. In the men's draw Britain's Kyle

:40:49. > :40:51.Edmund is into the second round. He beat Portugal's,

:40:52. > :40:53.Gastao Elias 6-1, 6-3. Dan Evans made light work

:40:54. > :40:55.of his first-round match against Dustin Brown -

:40:56. > :41:04.winning 6-1, 6-1. The British number three will now

:41:05. > :41:07.face Kei Nishikori in round two. In last night's Super League,

:41:08. > :41:11.Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10, Albert Kelly was the star with two

:41:12. > :41:26.of Hull's three tries, Great Britain's husband and wife

:41:27. > :41:28.pair Chris and Gabby Adcock are into the semi-finals,

:41:29. > :41:30.once again, at the All-England Badminton Championships.

:41:31. > :41:32.This is like the Wimbledon of badminton, and the pair,

:41:33. > :41:35.beat the Olympic champions from Indonesia, coming

:41:36. > :41:37.from a set down. It's the second year in a row,

:41:38. > :41:40.they've reached the last 4, and comes soon after GB badminton

:41:41. > :41:51.had its funding cut by UK sport. The last time Lincoln City played

:41:52. > :41:53.Arsenal in a competitive That was 102 years ago,

:41:54. > :41:59.but this afternoon they'll be hoping It's a momentous day

:42:00. > :42:05.for the non-league side and the 9,000 fans who'll make

:42:06. > :42:07.the journey down to the Emirates Stadium with them,

:42:08. > :42:09.on 53 coaches and even One of those making the trip

:42:10. > :42:13.will be Bob Dorrian, We'll be speaking to him

:42:14. > :42:21.in a moment, but first let's hear People around Lincoln are really

:42:22. > :42:25.excited for the quarter-finals against Arsenal. It's really

:42:26. > :42:29.inspired me because Lincoln have made everybody try harder and work

:42:30. > :42:32.harder because you know you can do that well. If we got through to the

:42:33. > :42:38.semifinal it is would be amazing to go to Wembley. I think Lincoln could

:42:39. > :42:45.do well if they scored, and if they won it will be amazing. I think

:42:46. > :42:50.Arsenal need to watch out for Matt Reed and Arnold. I think Reid and

:42:51. > :42:55.Arnold will be really quick. I am a bit worried of what Sanchez and Ozil

:42:56. > :43:00.can do. I want to play for Lincoln when I am older. Watching this FA

:43:01. > :43:08.Cup has been amazing. It's inspired me. My prodiction is 2-1 to Lincoln.

:43:09. > :43:12.2-0 Lincoln. 1-0 Lincoln. 2-1 to Lincoln. You can do it in the

:43:13. > :43:17.quarter-finals against Arsenal. Good luck, Lincoln. I hope you win

:43:18. > :43:22.against Arsenal. I hope you are going to be amazing. We can do this!

:43:23. > :43:26.That's the team talk done. The confidence is catching from the

:43:27. > :43:30.players. Fantastic. Listening to that is the chairman of Lincoln

:43:31. > :43:35.City. We can talk to him now on the phone. Good morning, Bob. A special

:43:36. > :43:39.morning. Wondering where you are and what's been the morning routine so

:43:40. > :43:48.far? Well, I have been up since about 7. 30 am, had my breakfast and

:43:49. > :43:52.getting my case packed for the weekend, so a fairly busy start so

:43:53. > :43:55.far, and obviously the day ahead, who knows what that will bring. You

:43:56. > :44:02.sound very calm, did you get any sleep? A little bit restless last

:44:03. > :44:08.night. But generally speaking it was a reasonable night's sleep, yes.

:44:09. > :44:12.Bob, it's Sally here. I am wondering, it's been such a

:44:13. > :44:16.brilliant experience so far, is there anything that you are doing,

:44:17. > :44:20.anything perhaps, any superstitions, anything you have consistently done

:44:21. > :44:25.through this run you might be also be doing today to keep the luck

:44:26. > :44:31.going? Me personally, for most of the games this season I wear a pair

:44:32. > :44:37.of red socks. It seems to be working so far. I shall have my red socks on

:44:38. > :44:41.again today. Love that. Bob, it's Charlie here. For those who are not

:44:42. > :44:48.familiar with the team, could you introduce us to one or two of the

:44:49. > :44:53.personalities, I am interested in nicknames, character traits, that

:44:54. > :44:59.kind of thing. Well, I don't think any of the players have really got

:45:00. > :45:03.any outstanding nicknames. Obviously, our centre forward Matt

:45:04. > :45:09.Reed, who is a big lad, I understand he has one or two nicknames in the

:45:10. > :45:17.dressing room, perhaps it wouldn't be right to mention on air. Yeah,

:45:18. > :45:22.they're all great players. They're a fantastic set of lads. They have

:45:23. > :45:26.gelled extremely well as a team this season, as we have all seen. Great,

:45:27. > :45:31.absolutely great set of lads. It's probably the first and only time in

:45:32. > :45:36.history that you will be studying videos of Bayern Munich who played

:45:37. > :45:40.Arsenal last and showed how to beat them. Yeah, Danny and Nicky have

:45:41. > :45:43.watched a number of videos of Arsenal recently and obviously two

:45:44. > :45:48.of their recent games have been against Bayern Munich, so I know

:45:49. > :45:53.Danny and Nicky have been getting a lot of information from those videos

:45:54. > :45:56.and it's telling actually, we understand that there are more

:45:57. > :46:02.tickets sold for the Lincoln City game than for the Bayern Munich game

:46:03. > :46:06.earlier. That says a lot about Lincoln City, I guess. Bob, you

:46:07. > :46:12.mentioned Danny and Nicky, how important has Dan been to you? They

:46:13. > :46:18.have been absolutely phenomenal. As you know, they came into the club at

:46:19. > :46:23.the beginning of this season from part-time non-league and what

:46:24. > :46:29.they've achieved at Lincoln City is truly, truly amazing. In such a

:46:30. > :46:35.short space of time. They're a complete phenomenon. Those two boys

:46:36. > :46:39.are going to go a long, long way in professional football in this

:46:40. > :46:45.country. Oh, I like that! Good luck, Bob and the rest of you. Keep those

:46:46. > :46:49.red socks on. He sounded very calm and composed.

:46:50. > :46:59.Maybe that's why they've gone so far. Mike, thank you very much.

:47:00. > :47:06.Today the Chancellor is facing more criticism over his decision to raise

:47:07. > :47:26.income tax for the self-employed. Former Chancellor Lord Lamont has

:47:27. > :47:30.called the move a rookie error. We can talk to Paul Lewis. Are there

:47:31. > :47:35.winners and losers? There are, people focus on the losers, the

:47:36. > :47:39.losers tend to be better paid, they're barristers, doctors,

:47:40. > :47:44.plumbers, journalists like me, we will pay more National Insurance

:47:45. > :47:51.because the 9% tax of National Insurance we pay will go up to ten

:47:52. > :47:55.and then 11%. To off-set that a flat rate is being scrapped. It depends

:47:56. > :48:00.where the balance is. Most people who do currently are self-employed

:48:01. > :48:06.will either pay no more, or will pay less. Anyone with an income below

:48:07. > :48:14.?16,000 will pay less when these policies are fully enforced. That's

:48:15. > :48:19.not much money. But most, most self-employed people, actually have

:48:20. > :48:22.profits below ?16250. The politics side, Theresa May was making much,

:48:23. > :48:26.they were accused of breaking a pledge, you are aware of this

:48:27. > :48:30.argument. The counterargumentment was they wanted to level things

:48:31. > :48:35.between employed and self-employed people. That's right. If you are an

:48:36. > :48:39.employee, this National Insurance tax is 12% of your earnings between

:48:40. > :48:47.two limits. If you are employed and instead of 12%, if you are

:48:48. > :48:54.self-employed, it's 9%. So what Philip Hammond was trying to raise

:48:55. > :48:59.that, approaching the 12%. For that money, for that 9% % or 10%,

:49:00. > :49:03.self-employed get pretty much the same benefits, the only thing they

:49:04. > :49:07.don't get that's significant is unemployment benefit, jobseeker's

:49:08. > :49:14.allowance as it is now. That's the big one they don't get, but they get

:49:15. > :49:18.maternity allowance, but they don't get paternity. So there are a few

:49:19. > :49:22.differences. But certainly not enough to justify that big gap

:49:23. > :49:29.between self-employed and employed. You mentioned in your first answer

:49:33. > :49:36.think that the suggestion is that it's those who are on the lowest -

:49:37. > :49:41.self-employed and the lowest income are likely to be hit the most.

:49:42. > :49:47.That's slightly difficult, the people who lose the most from the

:49:48. > :49:52.change Philip Hammond announced are the better paid, people earning more

:49:53. > :49:56.than ?40,000, there is a group earning less than ?6,000, they are

:49:57. > :50:01.about a million people nearly. They can make up their National Insurance

:50:02. > :50:04.record by buying extra contributions because they don't pay them

:50:05. > :50:13.automatically. If they want to buy them it costs about ?150 a year. But

:50:14. > :50:17.from next April that price will more than quadruple to ?740 a year. If

:50:18. > :50:23.they have a gap in their record they want to make up and they earn below

:50:28. > :50:38.big losers. Paul, thank you very much. More with Paul on Money Box at

:50:42. > :50:45.Varnish has told the BBC that the entire board of British cycling must

:50:46. > :50:48.go after a draft independent report criticises the leadership of the

:50:49. > :50:54.organisation. The United Nations says the world is

:50:55. > :50:58.facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945 with more than 20

:50:59. > :51:02.million people in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria at risk of

:51:03. > :51:06.famine. Also coming up, a Syrian chef who

:51:07. > :51:09.lost his restaurants in the war launched a pop-up restaurant in

:51:10. > :51:18.London last night. We were there for the opening. And to hear his

:51:19. > :51:24.extraordinary story. Let's look at the weather.

:51:25. > :51:29.How is it for the weekend, Louise? Glorious for some of us. Look at

:51:30. > :51:34.London a few moments ago, it's going to be a mild, beautiful spring-like

:51:35. > :51:37.today. Not for all, unfortunately. Across the Highlands it's cloudy and

:51:38. > :51:40.showery rain. But it will improve here. You will get sunshine in the

:51:41. > :51:49.far north of Scotland. This weather front will weaken off,

:51:50. > :51:54.just a band of cloud and rain for many. It means that we will

:51:55. > :51:57.gradually see an improving picture in Scotland. At the moment rain

:51:58. > :52:03.around. Drizzly bits and pieces into Northern Ireland. The Isle of Man

:52:04. > :52:09.and North Wales, as well. A lot of cloud generally but already in the

:52:10. > :52:13.London area and down through Kent, I have been showing photographs this

:52:14. > :52:16.morning, of a beautiful sunrise. We might get to see the cloud break up

:52:17. > :52:20.more and the sunshine push across the south coast and South Wales and

:52:21. > :52:23.the Midlands and East Anglia and hopefully not a bad day. Even if you

:52:24. > :52:27.don't have the sunshine it's going to be mild with temperatures around

:52:28. > :52:33.13 or 14, we could see 17 in the London area. Not too bad in the far

:52:34. > :52:36.north of Scotland. I am sure Lincoln City fans won't care what the

:52:37. > :52:40.weather is doing this afternoon but it's going to be perfect for you, a

:52:41. > :52:46.little bit of sunshine and pleasant, as well. For the Six Nations, light

:52:47. > :52:51.winds, perfect kicking game. Some decent weather. The same conditions

:52:52. > :52:58.in Twickenham as in Rome. Tonight a lot of cloud around and more showery

:52:59. > :53:01.outbreaks of rain initially. Some poor visibility, coastal and hill

:53:02. > :53:06.fog. Then towards the end of the night another weather front comes

:53:07. > :53:10.in, almost bumps into the weather front ahead of it and that means is

:53:11. > :53:13.these two systems will merge together, there's going to be rain

:53:14. > :53:16.tomorrow. What a difference a day makes, particularly in the

:53:17. > :53:20.south-east where it could stay grey and wet all day. Gradually

:53:21. > :53:22.brightening up from the west. For Northern Ireland and western

:53:23. > :53:27.Scotland, Wales and south-west England into the afternoon some

:53:28. > :53:31.sunshine. A few isolated showers but not too bad here. But miserable

:53:32. > :53:34.across the south-east and generally North Sea coasts and temperatures

:53:35. > :53:47.will be way down on today. Enjoy. Back to you two.

:53:48. > :53:55.Picture the scene, you are at the school picking up the kids and you

:53:56. > :54:02.are on the phone texting, ignoring the child? Does that happen One head

:54:03. > :54:06.teacher says so. It happens a lot. One school has decided enough is

:54:07. > :54:10.enough and is asking mums and dads to greet their child with a smile,

:54:11. > :54:12.not a mobile. We will talk about this in a moment. First, lates hear

:54:13. > :54:16.what parents had to say. When they come to pick their kids up

:54:17. > :54:21.from school, they should be here to do that and to talk to them

:54:22. > :54:25.about their day, not to be I don't know what the big

:54:26. > :54:28.fuss is about, really. I don't see many here doing it,

:54:29. > :54:33.but I should imagine there are a lot When you are with children

:54:34. > :54:37.I think it's better It doesn't come to mind,

:54:38. > :54:40.pulling your phone out We're joined by parenting coach

:54:41. > :55:00.Anita Cleare and digital marketing Morning to you both. How damaging is

:55:01. > :55:05.it I suppose I am going to say the word, how bad is it when a kid comes

:55:06. > :55:09.out of school for a parent to not be paying attention? The problem is the

:55:10. > :55:14.amount of space technology's taking. It's OK every now and then to not

:55:15. > :55:18.pay attention to your children. They don't need 100%. But if you are

:55:19. > :55:23.actually never paying attention, they're not learning essential

:55:24. > :55:27.skills, not learning talking skills, conversations, they're not getting

:55:28. > :55:30.that sense of specialness to you if you are saying whatever's going on

:55:31. > :55:34.on the phone is more important about your day. So it damages

:55:35. > :55:37.relationships and that's important. If this head teacher is observing

:55:38. > :55:41.what's going on, he is only interested in the welfare of the

:55:42. > :55:45.kids, he is not making this up. He is thinking something's changing.

:55:46. > :55:50.Absolutely. I think this signifies exactly how much family life is

:55:51. > :55:54.being invaded by technology. We are finding is that you look at a family

:55:55. > :55:57.home and you will have individuals each interacting with a screen, a

:55:58. > :56:02.separate device and not actually talking to each other and that is

:56:03. > :56:08.having an impact on relationships, on children's development and how

:56:09. > :56:13.they feel about themselves, as well. Dan, is technology taking over? Yes,

:56:14. > :56:17.I suppose mobiles are pervasive, they are pretty much taking over,

:56:18. > :56:21.something like depending on the demographic between 70 and 92% of

:56:22. > :56:24.people have a smartphone. It's more what we do with them. Let's not

:56:25. > :56:28.throw the baby out with the bath water here, when we pick up children

:56:29. > :56:38.and doing things like this you might be taking too many foet yeses --

:56:39. > :56:43.photos, as long as you are present and digitally mindful. What does

:56:44. > :56:49.that mean? Being conscious of what you are doing on your -- digital

:56:50. > :56:54.device, if you are at a party and checking it, and if you are with

:56:55. > :56:57.your daughter, hello! If I am not checking my phone, it's going to

:56:58. > :57:02.damage our relationship. If you are taking photos in a moment and not in

:57:03. > :57:06.the moment, because we take trillions of photos, if you add up

:57:07. > :57:09.all the photos taken on social media and 90% are done through a

:57:10. > :57:13.smartphone, if you printed them it would be enough to get to the moon

:57:14. > :57:17.and back. This is daily. Whose how many are taken. That's about living

:57:18. > :57:21.in the moment. Being aware of what's going on at the time. The other part

:57:22. > :57:24.of this is that presumably so many parents will have had a conversation

:57:25. > :57:28.with their children, will you get off that mobile phone. It robs you

:57:29. > :57:32.of the right, if you are doing it yourself and at a moment when your

:57:33. > :57:35.child wants to share something with you, they're right to turn around

:57:36. > :57:39.and say look at you. Absolutely. Teenagers especially are the first

:57:40. > :57:42.people to spot if you are being hypocritical about something. This

:57:43. > :57:46.is a family issue. It's not, parents say to me how do I draw lines around

:57:47. > :57:51.technology, and stop children using it too much? It's a family issue.

:57:52. > :57:54.How do you stop using it so much as a family together. That's about

:57:55. > :57:59.things like having tech-free spaces in the house or tech-free times of

:58:00. > :58:03.the day. Putting the phone in another room when you are talking to

:58:04. > :58:06.children, so that the whole family are obeying rules, not us saying to

:58:07. > :58:11.children don't use it because I say don't do it. You know what, it's so

:58:12. > :58:16.difficult. It is really hard, it's a good idea, I hear everything you are

:58:17. > :58:20.saying. It makes brilliant sense. But it's just so hard. This is

:58:21. > :58:29.something you are navigating. This is your world. Technology is your

:58:30. > :58:34.world and you mentioned your daughter It's ironic for me, because

:58:35. > :58:39.I train companies, it's ironic to say not do it. 92% of us will not

:58:40. > :58:43.let our mobile phone be more than three metres away from us, that's

:58:44. > :58:47.scary. They disrupt our lives and even our sleep which is really bad

:58:48. > :58:51.for us. However, let's not take away the positive. You can be learning

:58:52. > :58:56.how to start your own business with a phone, you could be doing things

:58:57. > :59:00.on e-commerce, creating stuff. Let's not take away the negative. They're

:59:01. > :59:04.tremendously powerful pieceses of technology we can tang advantage

:59:05. > :59:07.with. I can even push it further f you are not by yourself, if you are

:59:08. > :59:15.not alone, don't take out your phone. It actually affects all our

:59:16. > :59:20.lives. That's a really good idea. Mentally, if someone's talking to to

:59:21. > :59:24.you it is rude to start looking at something else. If you are meeting

:59:25. > :59:29.someone for coffee, phone on the table. Think about it tonight, be

:59:30. > :59:34.more conscious, more digitally mindful. There you go. Thank you

:59:35. > :59:38.very much. Coming up before the end of the

:59:39. > :59:42.programme, Scotland and England go head-to-head in the Six Nations

:59:43. > :59:43.today we will be asking Mike if England can continue their unbeaten

:59:44. > :00:07.run? Headlines are on the way. Hello this is Breakfast, with

:00:08. > :00:09.Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. The crisis in British Cycling -

:00:10. > :00:12.Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC that the entire board

:00:13. > :00:15.must go. A draft independent report -

:00:16. > :00:18.leaked to the Daily Mail - criticises what it calls

:00:19. > :00:20.the dysfunctional and inept For me all I want is the truth to be

:00:21. > :00:28.out there, because it's the truth Good morning it's Saturday

:00:29. > :00:49.the 11th of March. The United Nations warns

:00:50. > :00:51.that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945,

:00:52. > :00:53.as millions of people face starvation and famine

:00:54. > :01:00.in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts -

:01:08. > :01:12.down Ireland's hopes of winning the Six nations,

:01:13. > :01:15.as George North hands England the chance to retain their crown

:01:16. > :01:22.today, if they can beat Scotland. Sir David Attenborough as you've

:01:23. > :01:25.never seen him before. We'll hear how he's helping

:01:26. > :01:38.a new generation to understand Good morning, it's a cloudy start

:01:39. > :01:40.right across the country, but a mild one. We will have some sunshine

:01:41. > :01:42.today, topping and tailing the country. I'll have all the details

:01:43. > :01:47.coming up. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told

:01:48. > :01:50.the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making

:01:51. > :01:53.allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published

:01:54. > :01:56.in the Daily Mail, claims British Cycling sanitised its own

:01:57. > :02:00.inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's

:02:01. > :02:02.sports editor, Dan Roan, she believed the truth

:02:03. > :02:09.was finally coming out. Representing Great Britain,

:02:10. > :02:12.Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner

:02:13. > :02:14.who became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations

:02:15. > :02:16.of sexism last year plunged Nothing has been in control,

:02:17. > :02:27.everything has been out I had nobody to turn

:02:28. > :02:33.to within the organisation. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped

:02:34. > :02:38.Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year,

:02:39. > :02:41.was found to have used sexist language towards her,

:02:42. > :02:43.but was cleared of eight of nine According to a draft report

:02:44. > :02:53.of an investigation leaked to the Daily Mail, findings

:02:54. > :02:56.of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were reversed

:02:57. > :02:59.by British Cycling's board. I am relieved that the

:03:00. > :03:03.truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar

:03:04. > :03:07.to post just to get this, and to see that it was

:03:08. > :03:10.a cover-up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling

:03:11. > :03:14.admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well-being

:03:15. > :03:17.of staff, but it said that reforms Those people who say it is sour

:03:18. > :03:22.grapes because you weren't selected for Rio, you will have

:03:23. > :03:24.heard those arguments, When people say it's bitterness,

:03:25. > :03:28.that's all they have If people knew me and saw

:03:29. > :03:33.what I was doing with my life and how I have turned things around,

:03:34. > :03:36.they would know the truth. They would know that

:03:37. > :03:38.I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work

:03:39. > :03:40.in cycling coaching again? Varnish says she is now

:03:41. > :03:47.considering whether to sue British Cycling

:03:48. > :03:49.for unfair dismissal. The world is facing its biggest

:03:50. > :03:56.humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people

:03:57. > :04:01.at risk of starvation and famine. That's according to the United

:04:02. > :04:03.Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded

:04:04. > :04:05.for help for people in Yemen, She lives in Yemen, where two thirds

:04:06. > :04:21.of the population need food aid, The United Nations has been told

:04:22. > :04:26.the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis

:04:27. > :04:29.for the organisation We stand at a critical

:04:30. > :04:41.point in our history. Already, at the beginning of the

:04:42. > :04:44.year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the

:04:45. > :04:46.creation of the United Nations. Now, more than 20 million people

:04:47. > :04:48.across four countries face In South Sudan, more

:04:49. > :04:53.than one million children and there is a cholera outbreak

:04:54. > :04:58.to deal with as well. The UN says billions of dollars

:04:59. > :05:02.is needed from the international community to feed the hungry,

:05:03. > :05:05.but so far only a fraction of that The overall requirement

:05:06. > :05:16.for South Sudan this year stands As of now, we have received

:05:17. > :05:22.9.3% of that amount, The United Nations says

:05:23. > :05:32.famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep

:05:33. > :05:41.into its pockets, right now. Pope Francis has said

:05:42. > :05:43.the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men

:05:44. > :05:46.to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper,

:05:47. > :05:49.he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply

:05:50. > :05:51.in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world

:05:52. > :05:58.where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner,

:05:59. > :06:00.who climbed onto a roof at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset

:06:01. > :06:02.before taking his clothes off and starting a fire,

:06:39. > :06:41.he needs more time before ruling Washington State had tried to get

:06:59. > :07:00.Government plans. An amendment to the Digital Economy

:07:01. > :07:03.Bill means it will be illegal to use software to buy

:07:04. > :07:06.thousands of tickets. Music stars including Ed Sheeran

:07:07. > :07:12.have spoken out about the issue. Archaeologists in Egypt have found

:07:13. > :07:16.a huge statue in a Cairo slum which is thought to be

:07:17. > :07:30.of Pharaoh Ramses the Second, -- can I not say that because I

:07:31. > :07:36.don't think it's really real? This is extraordinary. This is in an area

:07:37. > :07:41.east of the city. Lo and behold, they were looking through the mud,

:07:42. > :07:45.in a hole. They found this extraordinary statue. It's Ramses

:07:46. > :07:49.the great, he lived more than 3,000 years ago. He is credited with

:07:50. > :07:51.expanding the Egyptian empire. He's been down there a long time.

:07:52. > :07:58.Amazing. All the sport coming up later and a

:07:59. > :08:02.full look at the weekend weather as well.

:08:03. > :08:04.For 50 years the laws on abortion have remained unchanged,

:08:05. > :08:07.meaning a woman must have the consent of two doctors

:08:08. > :08:12.Under those rules a woman who takes a pill at home could potentially

:08:13. > :08:17.Now a Labour MP is calling for the legislation to be updated.

:08:18. > :08:19.But pro-life critics say it could pave the way

:08:20. > :08:27.for sex selective abortions and terminations on demand.

:08:28. > :08:30.My first reaction was, I don't want to have a baby.

:08:31. > :08:33.Straightaway, how am I going to care for this being when I can't even

:08:34. > :08:37.Emily tells me why she had an abortion.

:08:38. > :08:40.She was broke, she had depression, she couldn't cope.

:08:41. > :08:43.She had to wait one month for a termination.

:08:44. > :08:53.I was Googling ways to induce miscarriage and I think that

:08:54. > :08:57.You're risking women's lives because I could have really hurt myself

:08:58. > :09:00.You could have faced a jail sentence?

:09:01. > :09:07.To punish a woman who is already in such an unstable

:09:08. > :09:13.what do you think you're doing to that woman's life?

:09:14. > :09:19.Just under 200,000 abortions were carried out in the UK in 2015,

:09:20. > :09:25.The NHS says women should wait around two weeks,

:09:26. > :09:30.Figures indicate these tablets used to miscarry are increasingly

:09:31. > :09:32.being bought illegally online by women who refuse to wait.

:09:33. > :09:42.Now, this is unlike any other medical procedure.

:09:43. > :09:45.But no other procedure involves ending a life and that's what's key

:09:46. > :09:53.We trust women to make decisions about their lives,

:09:54. > :09:56.about their healthcare, and abortion should be no different.

:09:57. > :09:59.But others say the delay that comes with not one but two GPs

:10:00. > :10:05.is essential when deciding the fate of not one but two lives.

:10:06. > :10:08.Many women go for that initial consultation and by the time

:10:09. > :10:10.they come back they actually change their minds.

:10:11. > :10:13.It's an important step in the process to make sure women

:10:14. > :10:15.are making the right decision for them.

:10:16. > :10:19.Do you have any statistics to back that argument up?

:10:20. > :10:23.We do know that about 30% of women who go for initial consultations

:10:24. > :10:29.The difficulty with the termination is once you have done that,

:10:30. > :10:31.if it's a rushed process, you can't change your mind.

:10:32. > :10:34.Her office later said this figure had been given by a leading

:10:35. > :10:36.clinician. We could find no evidence of it.

:10:37. > :10:52.But while the Royal College of Midwives has backed

:10:53. > :10:53.the the proposal, more than a

:10:54. > :10:58.in my name" petition. They fear it could pave the way for sex selection

:10:59. > :11:00.abortions on demand. We didn't achieve what I always

:11:01. > :11:02.believed was what women needed, which was choice.

:11:03. > :11:05.Diana Monday was a key figure calling for change in the '60s, just

:11:06. > :11:20.I was a lone public voice, but I was not a lone person

:11:21. > :11:23.They were all there, the voices, but they were unheard

:11:24. > :11:25.and unfortunately they stayed unheard.

:11:26. > :11:28.They still are unheard. I am appalled. 50 years later on, we are

:11:29. > :11:29.still fighting for this. Oh, my goodness.

:11:30. > :11:34.She shows me the hate mail her campaign attracted

:11:35. > :11:42.Letters from women who begged for help in another.

:11:43. > :11:45.That fine line between the rights of a woman and the rights

:11:46. > :11:48.of an unborn child will be scrutinised again on Monday.

:11:49. > :11:55.More on this story now and speak to Diana Johnson. Very good morning to

:11:56. > :11:58.you. You're proposing this Private Members' Bill that would

:11:59. > :12:02.decriminalise abortion. We heard some of the arguments in that

:12:03. > :12:07.report. Why do you think now is the right time to do this? First of all,

:12:08. > :12:14.it's a ten-minute rule bill. It's only going to cover England and

:12:15. > :12:17.Wales. It's about decriminalisation, it's not about deregulation. Even if

:12:18. > :12:22.this were to go forward, there would be a range of laws and regulations

:12:23. > :12:26.around abortion and so, the concerns that people are raising about sex

:12:27. > :12:30.selective abortion or very late abortions, they would still be

:12:31. > :12:37.covered by regulation and laws. This is about taking away the fact that a

:12:38. > :12:42.woman and anyone who assists a woman in aring an abortion can be sent to

:12:43. > :12:49.prison for life. The 67 act, which you've talked about in your package

:12:50. > :12:53.actually allows abortion in certain circumstances, but underpinning that

:12:54. > :12:56.is a very old act, the 1861 act, which says a woman and anyone who

:12:57. > :13:01.assists can go to prison for life. That's the bit I want to remove.

:13:02. > :13:06.Just to be clear, you'll have heard in the piece there, the concern as

:13:07. > :13:09.it stands that two doctors need to be consulted as part of this

:13:10. > :13:15.process. Do you envisage that would remain the case? Well, I think

:13:16. > :13:19.Parliament would want regulation about how women can access abortion

:13:20. > :13:24.services. That would certainly be up for debate. The BMA have said that

:13:25. > :13:27.up to 12 weeks it would be sensible to review whether you need to have

:13:28. > :13:33.two doctors. But I think that could all be debated by Parliament and put

:13:34. > :13:38.into regulation. But the key point is around the decriminalisation not

:13:39. > :13:43.the deregulation. That's the really important point to get across this

:13:44. > :13:48.morning. There is a concern, though, the idea - if there's no criminality

:13:49. > :13:51.involved, a woman trying to get a late-term abortion, for example, how

:13:52. > :13:56.do you - what could be the impact there? Well, of course, we want

:13:57. > :14:00.women to be able to access services for abortion early on. That's the

:14:01. > :14:06.thing that most people would say would be sensible. I think we need

:14:07. > :14:09.to recognise that even in very conservative countries and Catholic

:14:10. > :14:13.countries, like Poland, women are not criminalised for abortion. In

:14:14. > :14:17.the United States, women are not criminalised for abortion. We have

:14:18. > :14:21.one of the most punitive regimes in Europe by having that 1861 act,

:14:22. > :14:26.which says women can go to prison for life. I think most people now

:14:27. > :14:30.would say, as in your package, this is such a sensitive, emotional

:14:31. > :14:35.subject that really do we want the criminal law to be underpinning it?

:14:36. > :14:39.Or do we think, actually, it's much better for doctors, their regulatory

:14:40. > :14:43.bodies and the nurses' regulatory bodies to be responsible for making

:14:44. > :14:49.sure that the regulations Parliament sets in place and best professional

:14:50. > :14:51.clinical practice are the way that abortions should operate today, not

:14:52. > :14:56.holding over a woman that she could go to prison for life. You

:14:57. > :14:58.mentioned, of course, that for the individual, you know, extremely

:14:59. > :15:03.sensitive, very personal decision being taken. But also in terms of

:15:04. > :15:08.the subject matter and how and when it's discussed, that's problematic

:15:09. > :15:11.too. It raises very strong emotions and sometimes, I believe, you have

:15:12. > :15:16.had some problems with attention from people just because you're

:15:17. > :15:20.raising the issue. Yes. I mean, it's 50 years on since Parliament last

:15:21. > :15:26.discussed this in the Abortion Act of '67. As a politician now, I'm

:15:27. > :15:29.well used to getting all sorts of abusive messages through social

:15:30. > :15:34.immediate in particular, but of course, it's an emotional, emotive

:15:35. > :15:38.subject. I've been called a baby killer for even raising the fact

:15:39. > :15:41.that we ought to decriminalise. We know in other parts of the world,

:15:42. > :15:44.Canada, Australia, parts of Australia, this has already

:15:45. > :15:49.happened. We haven't seen an increase in late-term abortions. I

:15:50. > :15:55.think it's right and sensible that MPs have an opportunity, 50 years

:15:56. > :15:59.after the '67 act, to say, is the law still up today and does it apply

:16:00. > :16:03.to what we think should happen in our society? Being a politician in

:16:04. > :16:07.2017 can be tough, but you have to do what you think is right. Diana

:16:08. > :16:11.Johnson, thank you very much for your time.

:16:12. > :16:14.9. 16am. You're watching Breakfast. Now to Louise who has the weekend

:16:15. > :16:18.weather for us. Good morning. Morning. I started off earlier on

:16:19. > :16:23.saying this weekend was a tale of two halves. Today is definitely the

:16:24. > :16:27.best of the weather. We have some rain across Scotland as we speak.

:16:28. > :16:31.But a good deal of dry but cloudy weather elsewhere. And it is an

:16:32. > :16:34.improving picture in Scotland today. Make the most of today's weather. It

:16:35. > :16:38.will be a completely different story for tomorrow. We've seen some

:16:39. > :16:44.beautiful sunshine already across the skies of London. This is west

:16:45. > :16:49.London, near Wimbledon. There's quite a lot of cloud around from

:16:50. > :16:52.that weather front in Scotland. This is was the Highlands just a few

:16:53. > :16:56.hours ago. The cloud will break up and you should get sunshine later

:16:57. > :16:59.on. This weather front continues to sink its way steadily southwards.

:17:00. > :17:04.Also hopefully the cloud will break up a little bit further south as

:17:05. > :17:07.well. So, for 9am, yes, we still have showery rain in Scotland. You

:17:08. > :17:12.can see already that front sitting close to the borders. Drizzly bits

:17:13. > :17:17.and pieces into Northern Ireland first thing. The same too for

:17:18. > :17:22.north-west England. Quite a lot of cloud generally. Poor visibility,

:17:23. > :17:24.coastal and hill fog. But things should gradually improve,

:17:25. > :17:29.particularly further south. Already we've seen that sunshine into London

:17:30. > :17:32.and hopefully, some of that cloud breaking back close towards the

:17:33. > :17:35.Midlands, South Wales will have some brightness into the afternoon and

:17:36. > :17:40.the temperatures will respond. We could see highs of around 17

:17:41. > :17:46.degrees, 63 Fahrenheit. But mid-teens generally. Where that

:17:47. > :17:49.weather front, though a weak affair, there's sunshine to the far north of

:17:50. > :17:53.Scotland. We could see drizzle for Middlesbrough. Lincoln City fans,

:17:54. > :17:56.I'm sure you don't care what the weather will do, but perfect weather

:17:57. > :18:01.conditions. Sunshine coming through for your match against Arsenal. Not

:18:02. > :18:03.looking too bad for the Six Nations. At Twickenham, similar weather

:18:04. > :18:08.conditions to Rome, would you believe it? ! Overnight tonight,

:18:09. > :18:13.there will be a lot of cloud. There'll be poor visibility, yet

:18:14. > :18:17.again, showery rain moves its way steadily eastwards and then,

:18:18. > :18:20.replaced by another weather front pushing in from the wings. That

:18:21. > :18:24.brings heavy, persistent rain. Sunday looks a dismal start to the

:18:25. > :18:28.day for many of us. A lot of cloud, wet weather around. It's going to

:18:29. > :18:33.take its time before both those weather fronts clear away steadily

:18:34. > :18:36.eastwards. That means that we could see gradual improvement across

:18:37. > :18:38.Northern Ireland, western Scotland, Wales, south-west England, maybe

:18:39. > :18:43.some sunshine into the afternoon here, a scattering of showers. But

:18:44. > :18:45.for much of the Eastern half of England it's grey and grim and

:18:46. > :18:53.feeling cooler than today. Enjoy. For refugees who have made

:18:54. > :18:55.the journey from Syria, creating a new life for themselves

:18:56. > :18:58.in the UK can be very difficult. Imad Alarnab first made

:18:59. > :19:00.a living repairing cars, before his past career

:19:01. > :19:03.as a chef was discovered. Now, he's been bringing a taste

:19:04. > :19:06.of his home country to London, This is where Imad Alarnab feels

:19:07. > :19:19.most at home, making supper for 40. For 15 years, Imad Alarnab ran three

:19:20. > :19:28.restaurants in Damascus, I mean, our restaurants are closed

:19:29. > :19:36.now, because of the war. We had to leave in

:19:37. > :19:41.2015, in July 2015. You know, the most hard part was

:19:42. > :19:52.leaving your family behind. And while Imad had to leave his home

:19:53. > :19:55.and his family, the cooking Three months, ten countries,

:19:56. > :20:01.running, cycling, taking a train, a boat, before finally arriving

:20:02. > :20:07.on the steps of a church in Calais. I was on the steps of

:20:08. > :20:10.the church for 64 days. Once here, Imad was given refugee

:20:11. > :20:27.status, which allowed him to work I met him and heard his story

:20:28. > :20:35.and it became very clear that he was in London and trying

:20:36. > :20:38.to do everything he could to make ends meet, and I heard

:20:39. > :20:41.he was selling cars, and I felt really sad knowing

:20:42. > :20:44.that he had this huge passion I just knew that there was more

:20:45. > :20:49.that we could do as a community I didn't really know what it

:20:50. > :20:54.would look like or what it would feel like but I knew that

:20:55. > :20:57.within my group of friends and within the broader network,

:20:58. > :21:00.there was something we could do to help bring him back

:21:01. > :21:02.into the food scene. With 36 hours of preparation,

:21:03. > :21:06.Syrian food comes to a pop-up It's been wonderful,

:21:07. > :21:14.the chicken in particular was really The lamb, the lamb was really

:21:15. > :21:20.good, really tender. The chicken is cooked to perfection,

:21:21. > :21:22.it's moist, which is hard Thank you for coming

:21:23. > :21:46.for the first time! this is Breakfast from BBC News. 9.

:21:47. > :21:51.21am. Let's look at this morning's papers. Tim Walker is here. Morning.

:21:52. > :21:54.Good morning. What's caught your eye this morning. There's a lot to go

:21:55. > :21:58.at. It's difficult for a former Prime Minister not to end up like

:21:59. > :22:03.Harry Enfield, saying, you didn't want to do that, did you. David

:22:04. > :22:09.Cameron has fallen into the trick of being lip synced at the war memorial

:22:10. > :22:14.event on Thursday, apparently telling Sir Michael Fallon that he

:22:15. > :22:19.thought it was idiotic to go back on the pledge in relation to national

:22:20. > :22:23.insurance contributions. A lip-reader has managed to work out

:22:24. > :22:28.what he was saying? You could see the word "stupid" because it's

:22:29. > :22:33.rather obvious. Can you do that for the benefit of the cam ra. If you're

:22:34. > :22:39.saying the word stupid, it's a clear enunciation. And he hasn't denied

:22:40. > :22:41.it. It's always awkward being a former Prime Minister, particular

:22:42. > :22:47.when you're in the same party. John Major talked about Mrs Thatcher

:22:48. > :22:50.being a back seat driver. Mrs Thatcher, oftening, had Ed -- of

:22:51. > :22:53.course, had Edward Heath in that continual sulk. Tony Blair and

:22:54. > :22:57.Gordon Brown, it was always awkward between them. It's the friendly fire

:22:58. > :22:59.you have to worry about, particularly when you're caught off

:23:00. > :23:05.camera saying what you actually think. There was another picture of

:23:06. > :23:09.Tony Blair sitting, looking strangely isolated at one of the

:23:10. > :23:13.other occasions, I think the unveiling of the war memorial. There

:23:14. > :23:17.was a man behind going like this. It's the off stuff, it's the things

:23:18. > :23:21.that we say when we don't know people are listening that are most

:23:22. > :23:29.scary. The next story you picked for us is from the telegraph. Yes, no

:23:30. > :23:36.the Guardian. Bernie Sanders. A grim warning here from Bernie sanders,

:23:37. > :23:42.the former Democrat contender, saying Donald Trump is a path

:23:43. > :23:47.logical liar. What worries him is that Trump now, 50 days into his

:23:48. > :23:52.presidency, in a calculated way is attacking all the pillars of public

:23:53. > :23:57.life, the media, judiciary, all the thinks necessary to sustain our

:23:58. > :24:01.system. He says, good advice in life generally, despair is not an option.

:24:02. > :24:04.It's quite a personal story as well. Someone would say, the Guardian

:24:05. > :24:08.would love this narrative relative to the Trump administration. He's

:24:09. > :24:13.not the first person who ticked off the boxes about certain kinds of

:24:14. > :24:17.behaviour. What's interesting the etiquette used to be, you never got

:24:18. > :24:20.former presidential contenders, former Presidents, existing

:24:21. > :24:25.President attacking a former President. This man doesn't play by

:24:26. > :24:30.any rules, so all bets are off. Sticking with the President, the

:24:31. > :24:35.next two is it in the Times? Lord Finkelstein. Oh, where are we? Have

:24:36. > :24:38.we got that one? He says, why does Donald Trump go to such

:24:39. > :24:43.extraordinary lengths with that combover of his. He was getting off

:24:44. > :24:47.Air Force One, hair force one you might say, that whole thing, it

:24:48. > :24:53.tipped up in the wind in a single... Like a lid. Absolutely. To his brain

:24:54. > :24:57.or what there counts for a brain. But he says it's necessary for

:24:58. > :25:01.Presidents to make a big thing about their hair, because there has not

:25:02. > :25:07.been a bald headed President since 1956 and that was Eisenhower. He was

:25:08. > :25:12.campaigning against another bawledy. We are saying that for a man, hair

:25:13. > :25:18.is important? Yeah but it shouldn't look so ridiculous. I remember

:25:19. > :25:22.somebody saying once to John Wayne. Is that real hair? Yeah, it's real

:25:23. > :25:28.hair, not my hair. Make a joke about it. It seems to me, for a long time,

:25:29. > :25:31.when we knew Donald Trump in his previous life, television presenter

:25:32. > :25:34.and that character, we were fascinated with his hair. Since he's

:25:35. > :25:38.become President Trump, not surprising, you have to stop talking

:25:39. > :25:40.about it. It is what it is. That's what he's like and move on. There's

:25:41. > :25:45.more important things to talk about when he's President. I love the

:25:46. > :25:48.photo call with the eagle, the eagle was fascinated and tried to pull it

:25:49. > :25:56.off. Let it go. I'm a fan of bald. Embrace the bald. It's good. Let's

:25:57. > :26:02.have a look at the final story. These adorable things are called

:26:03. > :26:09.quockers. They are miniature kangaroos. They are proving a star

:26:10. > :26:14.attraction. Samsung named them the world's cutest animal. They've

:26:15. > :26:20.worked out how to appear most fetchingly in a selfie. They are on

:26:21. > :26:22.the endangered species list, but these are multiplying, doing

:26:23. > :26:26.incredibly well. They've adapted their schedules. They normally sleep

:26:27. > :26:30.at night, so they can be on hand for the tourists. The tourist numbers

:26:31. > :26:35.are going up from 90 thousand not so long ago to 600,000. All I would say

:26:36. > :26:38.is that I hope they work out how to take the pictures themselves,

:26:39. > :26:42.because I remember that wonderful story about a monkey that allegedly

:26:43. > :26:46.took a photograph. It went to court and it was found that the monkey

:26:47. > :26:49.owned the copyright to the picture, worth many thousands of pounds.

:26:50. > :26:54.There's something about the way they look. It's like they're grinning the

:26:55. > :26:58.whole time. This fact file here tells us that nocturnal animals can

:26:59. > :27:04.survive without food and water by living off the fat in their tails.

:27:05. > :27:09.How extraordinary. Didn't know that until today. The danger is they're

:27:10. > :27:12.catching illnesses from the human and their natural way of life is

:27:13. > :27:16.being affected by all this stuff. Thank you very much. Lovely to see

:27:17. > :27:19.you Tim. Apologies for us mysteriously disappearing. That was

:27:20. > :27:25.quite a trick. All of us, we were gone, just like that. There was an

:27:26. > :27:30.invisible guest. Then we came back. The magic of television. We're like

:27:31. > :27:37.quockers. This is Breakfast. We're on BBC One until 10am,

:27:38. > :27:43.when Donal Skehan takes over Good morning. I'm fiercely

:27:44. > :27:48.distracted in the studio today by our guests. Our special guest today

:27:49. > :27:51.Martin, you're here to talk about Comic Relief and face your Food

:27:52. > :27:57.Heaven or hell. Tell me about your idea of heaven. Chocolate hazelnut

:27:58. > :28:03.spread on anything. Oh, good. That gives me room to improve. Your hell?

:28:04. > :28:08.Tuna steak. What's wrong with it It's tough, bland. Yukky. You

:28:09. > :28:14.mustn't have had good tuna. That's what I put it down to. Maybe. We

:28:15. > :28:20.have two great chefs here and making his debut Paul, what are you making?

:28:21. > :28:24.We have a lovely hake dish with wild garlic and Southport potted shrimp,

:28:25. > :28:28.things close to my heart, from my region. We have great representation

:28:29. > :28:34.of the north as well, making his return is Nigel, what are we making

:28:35. > :28:39.with you? I've got a king cabbage, much maligned cabbage with a fondue

:28:40. > :28:44.of mussels and cockles. What do you think of that? Sounds lovely. I hope

:28:45. > :28:45.you like the sound of that. See you at 10am.

:28:46. > :28:48.Sounds lovely. Thank you very much. Coming up in the next half hour:

:28:49. > :28:51.He's known for bringing us the wonders of the animal kingdom

:28:52. > :28:54.on TV, and now Sir David Attenborough can add children's

:28:55. > :28:56.storyteller to his CV! We'll hear how a whole

:28:57. > :28:58.new generation is set to be inspired by some of his most famous

:28:59. > :29:01.adventures. Stay with us - Hello, this is Breakfast

:29:02. > :29:38.with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. Coming up, Louise will have the

:29:39. > :29:41.weekend's weather forecast for you. First, a summary of this

:29:42. > :29:46.morning's main news. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told

:29:47. > :29:50.the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making

:29:51. > :29:55.allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published

:29:56. > :29:58.in the Daily Mail, claims British Cycling sanitised its own

:29:59. > :30:01.inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's

:30:02. > :30:03.sports editor, Dan Roan, she believed the truth

:30:04. > :30:13.was finally coming out. I have been pulled from pillar to

:30:14. > :30:18.post, just to get this and to actually see it was a cover-up is
