04/02/2018 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Chris Mason and Tina Daheley.

The disgraced film producer

Harvey Weinstein faces fresh claims

of sexual assault.

Scotland Yard says a total

of nine women have now made

allegations against him.

The actress Uma Thurman

has broken her silence,

saying that Harvey Weinstein

tried to force himself

on her during the 1990s

following the release

of Pulp Fiction.

Good morning, it's Sunday

the 4th of February.

Also this morning:

MPs warn that cuts to

the Royal Marines could seriously

undermine UK security.

A jihadist group in Syria says it

shot down a Russian warplane

yesterday using a

shoulder-launched missile.

We'll hear from the British medical

team back home after bringing

a deadly disease under control

in the refugee camps of Bangladesh.

And in sport, there's a thumping win

for Wales against Scotland

and Ireland pip the french in Paris

with the last kick of the match.

It's a brilliant start

to the 6 Nations.

And Ben has the weather.

Good morning. It's shaping up to be

a brighter day for most today, quite

a lot of sunshine around but some

wintry showers too brought in on a

cold north-easterly wind. All the

weather details you need to know on

the way.

Cheers, Ben. Talk to you

later.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Scotland Yard is looking into two

more allegations of sexual assault

against the Hollywood film

producer Harvey Wine-steen.

It brings the total number of women

who have reported him

to British police to nine.

The actress Uma Thurman has also

alleged he assaulted her at a hotel

in London in the 1990s.

Our correspondent

Simon Jones has more.

She starred in several films

produced by the disgraced movie

mogul.

It was after the success

of Pulp Fiction that Uma Thurman

says she was targeted

by Harvey Weinstein.

Now she's the latest woman

to speak out in an interview

with the New York Times.

Uma Thurman claims Harvey Weinstein

pushed her down when she met him

in his suite here at

the Savoy Hotel in London.

She says he tried to expose

himself, he did all kinds

of unpleasant things.

But she said she managed

to wriggle away like a lizard.

The next day, she says,

a bunch of flowers arrived.

A spokeswoman for Harvey Weinstein

said in a statement:

It comes

as Scotland Yard say they have

received two further allegations

of sexual assault, one

from a woman who claims

Harvey Weinstein assaulted her

in Westminster in 2011,

and another from a woman

who says she was targeted

in the Republic of Ireland.

That brings the total number

of women who have reported

the producer to British

police to nine.

Officers in New York and Los Angeles

have also begun investigations.

He has denied all allegations

of non-consensual sex.

Harvey Weinstein was once one

of the most powerful men

in Hollywood, credited

with scores of Oscar wins,

but he has been thrown out

of the organisation that runs

the Oscars and he's now in rehab,

a huge fall from grace

from which there is

likely to be no return.

Simon Jones, BBC News.

There's a warning this

morning from MPs that cuts

to the Royal Marines

would significantly undermine UK

security and must be stopped.

The Defence Select Committee says

the government must cough up

amid speculation of a funding

squeeze on the elite fighting unit.

Daniella Relph reports.

The training, known for being tough

and arduous. 6500 Royal Marines go

through it to make them amongst

Britain's at elite fighting forces.

Known for their versatility and

their ability to respond quickly to

situations around the world. The

Royal Marines also provide up to

half the personnel for the UK

special forces. The Defence Select

Committee report warns that further

cuts to the Marines would damage

their ability to be a high readiness

unit, quickly deployable, often in

difficult circumstances. It also

criticises plans to end the use of

HMS Albion as a ship from which

beach assaults are made.

If there

are new and intensified threats you

would think we'd be adding to our

capabilities, not deleting one of

our world beating star capabilities.

The committee praises the Defence

Secretary, Gavin Williamson, for

taking control of the defence review

but again warned that he won't be

able to prevent harsh cuts without

extra funding from the Treasury. The

Ministry of Defence says that

protecting the UK is its priority

and stress that the Royal Marines

play a vital role in defending the

country. Daniella Relph, BBC News.

A senior Conservative MP has accused

ministers of being vague

and divided over Brexit.

Bernard Jenkin, who was

on the board of the official

Leave campaign, said civil servants

deserved an unambiguous

and united

direction from ministers,

singling out the Chancellor Philip

Hammond for criticism.

It comes ahead of key

ministerial meetings this week

on the UK-EU relationship.

A Russian military jet has been shot

down in north-western Syria,

an area held by Syrian rebels.

The Defence Ministry in Moscow said

the pilot had managed

to deploy a parachute,

but was killed on the ground.

Sarah Corker reports.

The burning wreckage of what looks

like a Russian fighter jet,

red stars clearly

visible on the wing.

This footage posted online appears

to show the plane being hit

and bursting into flames

in a rebel-held area

of north-west Syria.

Jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,

formally linked to al-Qaeda,

said it had shot the plane down

with a surface-to-air missile.

Moscow said the pilot ejected

and survived the crash

but was killed by

rebels on the ground.

The Sukhoi 25 fighter was shot down

near the city of Saraqeb,

close to a major highway

in Idlib province.

It was back in December

when the Syrian government,

backed by Russian air power,

launched a major offensive

against rebel groups

in Idlib, the last province

under rebel control.

But civilians are

paying a heavy price.

Thousands have fled.

On Friday, rescuers said they pulled

the bodies of at least seven

civilians from cars hit by air

strikes south of Aleppo.

This incident is a rare loss

for the Russian air force.

Opposition groups have in the past

shot down Syrian planes but rarely

those of the Russian army,

and there are reports that Moscow

has responded by firing

cruise missiles from navy vessels

in the Mediterranean.

Sarah Corker, BBC News.

Italian police have arrested

a gunman suspected of carrying out

a drive-by shooting that

targeted African immigrants.

The suspect had an Italian flag

wrapped around his neck

when he was detained.

The victims are being treated

in hospital, at least one of them

is said to be in

a serious condition.

How airlines seat passengers will be

investigated in a new review.

It comes after accusations that

flight operators are deliberately

splitting up groups so they pay

extra to sit together.

The Civil Aviation Authority says

passengers are paying as much

as £400 million each

year to be reallocated,

and one in ten didn't

know they would incur an extra cost

to sit with loved ones.

An olympic ice hockey team

with players from both North

and South Korea will compete

for the first time later today.

The all-women team will take

on Sweden in a friendly match before

the start of the Winter

Olympics next week.

North Korea's participation

is being seen as a show

of reconciliation with the South.

It's the biggest night

in American sport,

but football fans heading

to tonight's 52nd Super Bowl

in Minneapolis will

be wrapping up warm.

It's expected to be

a bone-chilling minus -16 degrees

when the action gets under

way at 11:30pm UK time.

The game will be played indoors,

but the local authorities have set

up a trauma centre near the stadium

in case any fans find themselves

caught out by the

freezing conditions.

As you can see in these pictures, I

think you just saw them, the fans

are making the most of it doing

doughnuts.

Looks mighty chilly. If

you get caught up in a long queue on

the way in, even though you will be

warm on the inside, the long queue

on the way in might make you think.

You need to make sure... It's all

about the layers. -16, I can't even

imagine how cold that is!

Mighty

chilly!

Let's return to our main story now.

Uma Thurman, who starred

in several films produced

by the disgraced film

mogul, Harvey Weinstein,

has claimed that on two occasions

he tried to sexually assault her.

Thurman broke her

silence in an interview

with the New York Times

after saying in October

that she didn't want

to say anything in anger.

Mr Weinstein's lawyer said

the allegations are false.

Entertainment journalist

Anita Bennett can discuss this

with us now from Los Angeles.

Thanks for sparing us some time,

what do you make of these latest

revelations?

These latest revelations are just

another bombshell in the continuing

Harvey Weinstein case. I woke up

this morning to multiple breaking

news alerts. I knew Urma suggested

she had a story to tell but what a

story!

Why did she take this long to

decide to go public?

She's not the

only one, Salma Hayek came forward

in December. As more women have come

forward, others have felt more

empowered to speak out so I think

that really had a lot to do with it.

How much surprise is there in

Hollywood, in Los Angeles, as more

information emerges?

We saw the

torrent of allegations made before

Christmas, now further allegations,

what's been the reaction?

The

reaction here is dismay, shock. A

lot of people are saying... Industry

insiders they say did know, Seth

MacFarlane cracked a joke about RB

Weinstein on and various comedians

alluded to the fact something was

amiss -- about Harvey Weinstein. But

the allegations are disturbing to

say the least. Uma Thurman is

alleging he threw her down on a bit

in a hotel room in the UK. You had

science, Salma Hayek come out in an

op-ed in the New York Times in

December and her allegations were

disturbing. It was when she was

making Bell and Frieda and Harvey

Weinstein produced that film, when

she turned him down he became angry

and threaten to shut down the

production and pull the plug on the

funding unless she did a full

frontal nude scene in the film with

another woman.

Uma Thurman's career

and Harvey Weinstein's career

overlapped hugely, they worked

together for a long time on and off?

They really have. When Mr

Weinstein's attorney released a

statement today, they mention there

are pictures of her through the

years at various entertainment

events posing alongside him and it

raises the question, if she was so

troubled, he made a pass at her,

that was it, but if she is so

troubled by him why did she continue

to be friendly with him? That's a

question though one can answer but

Uma Thurman.

That's very striking

and you touched upon it there, the

nature of his response to these

allegations, he is digging in and

defending himself.

He really is. His

attorney put out a statement, they

didn't threaten to sue but the

attorney said her allegations are

being carefully examined and

investigated and they will decide

how to proceed. Whether or not they

will sue her, he would have, find

the time because he's been hit with

an avalanche of lawsuits since the

allegations first appeared in

October so he will be tied up in

court for years to come.

In a

sentence, that's it, his career is

over?

I don't have a crystal ball

but I think at this point he is kind

of like kryptonite. You'd be

hard-pressed to find someone willing

to work with him in Hollywood or the

UK or Europe or anywhere else. Is

his career over? Probably, but never

say never.

Thank you, we appreciate

it. A metre Bennett reporting for us

live from Los Angeles. -- Anita

Bennett.

Uma Thurman making lots of the front

pages this morning, let's look at

the Sunday Times. Her assault claims

on the front page but also

Brexiteers, Pot two installed dream

team at Number 10, Boris Johnson,

Michael Gove and Jacob Rees-Mogg as

Chancellor. -- plot to. That's the

warning from Tory MPs last night. If

headlines like that seem a little

far-fetched, politics has had the

capacity to surprise over the last

few years. Front page of the Sunday

Mirror, talking about the big march

in London yesterday involving lots

of campaigners and doctors and

nurses. They seem to have found a

picture of Jeremy Hunt, the Health

Secretary, fast asleep at what they

describe as a posh spa hotel. One of

those unfortunate moments when you

realise everyone has a camera and if

you have a nap it could turn out to

be a cat embarrassing. A different

story on the Mail on Sunday, fury of

Harry hero's widow, suicide soldier

might still be alive today if

useless MOD had helped according to

the family of a soldier who fought

alongside Prince Harry who has

accused defence chiefs of failing to

provide him with the help that could

have stopped him committing suicide.

A quick look at the Observer in its

newish format as a tabloid, another

Brexit front-page. Picking up on the

discussions that have been going on

for some time at Westminster about

whether or not the civil service is

adequately impartial, some

suggestions from the likes of Jacob

Rees-Mogg that that isn't the case.

Plenty of others arguing strongly

that the civil service should not be

undermined. Let's find out what's

happening with the weather, Ben?

is the buy today at the weekend.

Many of us will see some spells of

sunshine. Some wintry showers

brought in on a cold north-easterly

wind. The satellite picture shows

the way the thick, rain bearing

cloud has broken overnight and as it

clears away, more than

north-easterly wind bringing

increasingly cold air in our

direction and some wintry showers,

particularly across parts of East

Anglia and the south-east. The

further west you come, fewer showers

and more in the way of sunshine per

south-west England. A very chilly

start. Quite a widespread frost. The

odd shower to the eastern side of

Scotland. Western Scotland, Northern

Ireland getting off to a bright

start and as we go on through the

day, it's a continuation of that

theme. A bit more cloud further

east.

east. When you factor that into the

feel factor.

feel factor. The Six Nations match,

we will see some sunshine.

we will see some sunshine. And, as

these north-easterly winds feeding,

we will see quite a few wintry

showers. Snow showers most likely

across parts of East Anglia into the

south-east. We could see a few

centimetres of snow. That again

brings with it the rinks -- the risk

of some ice tomorrow morning. Travel

plans across East Anglia and the

south-east, some places could see a

covering of snow. One or two issues.

Elsewhere tomorrow, a decent day

with some spells of sunshine.

Another cold day. Another weather

system moving in from the

north-west.

cold feeling day.

across the country, there is a

chance to see some smoke. -- see

some snow.

But now it's time for the film

review with Jane Hill

and Mark Kermode.

Hello and welcome to

The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this week's

cinema releases is Mark Kermode.

So Mark, what do we have this week?

We had a new version

of Journey's End.

Helen Mirren in Winchester,

the ghost story chiller.

And an Oscar-nominated Denzel

Washington in Roman J Israel, Esq.

Journey's End, is it a tough watch?

I was very impressed by it,

it is directed by a man

whose previous film

was about World War II.

This is set in the trenches

of World War I, a terrific

ensemble cast, Toby Jones,

Paul Bettany...

And essentially what the film does

is capture the sort of day-to-day

squalor and struggle and comradeship

of people in those trenches

in the middle of that terrible war.

My darling Joan.

When you read this, I don't imagine

that for one moment you will feel

bitter and resentful.

But you will find comfort

in the thought that I went down

fighting for my country.

But you will find comfort

in the thought that I went down

fighting for my country.

You are too clear-headed

for that, my darling.

There is a job to be done.

It ought never to have arisen,

but that is not the point.

I have had so very much out of life.

And all these youngsters do not

realise how unlucky they are.

So new are they to

their very existence.

Paul Bettany, capturing

the understated power of the drama.

This is a story that everyone knows,

but I think they bring

something new to it.

There is a palpable sense of terror,

the fact that we are waiting

for a German attack,

it hangs heavy over the drama.

I think the director

cranks up the tension,

while all the time reminding us

that this is to do

with the characters,

their day-to-day life,

that strange mixture of on the one

hand grinding boredom

and on the other hand imminent

terror, balanced very nicely.

You get a raw sense of being there

in that trench environment.

I think what this film manages to do

is take a classic text and make it

completely relevant,

it is very cinematic.

The performances are terrific,

there are laughs as well,

and there is real vibrancy in it.

But I find it very moving,

very powerful, very harrowing,

and a very sort of potent reminder

of just what was at stake

in what was sacrificed.

I thought it was really good,

it was a really good adaptation.

You are a horror film

fan, aren't you?

Winchester is not

going to scare you.

This is inspired by the true story

of Sarah Winchester,

the widowed heiress

of the Winchester rifle fortune.

Some people said she was haunted

by the spirits of the people

killed by the firearms.

Is she crazy, is she haunted,

is it all in her mind?

This sounds like a great set up.

No, all that ambiguity

goes out in ten seconds.

The house goes bang,

there are lots of jump scares,

the movie shouts at you...

OK, fine, it is an interesting

setup, but once you are into it,

it is like the most

mechanical roller-coaster ride.

None of it is scary.

Dame Helen Mirren does a brilliant

job of keeping a straight face!

Why did she say yes to this?

She said it is in the tradition

of great Japanese ghost stories,

it is nothing like that!

It is like Twister.

At no point, at any point,

did I feel there was any

ambiguity, any uncertainty,

and it was not scary.

You are completely safe with this.

I can't see it!

You have sold it.

Denzel Washington, 30 years

after his first Oscar nomination,

he plays a savant law attorney,

very dedicated to civil rights

causes, but is absolutely

terrible with people.

So for most of his career he has

been the person in the backroom,

who does the book work,

then the partner he has been

working with suddenly finds

himself in hospital,

and he has to step up

and do the interaction,

and he cannot do it.

Here's a clip.

My client is interested

in discussing a deal.

I have 40 open cases.

Refresh me.

A convenience store

shooting, a man was killed.

I have it.

The shooter in this

case was a fugitive.

Carter Johnson.

My client may know his whereabouts

and might be willing to testify.

He will deliver on that?

That depends.

If you waive all objections

on appeal, and he is willing

to cooperate, we will drop

the assault and kidnapping,

and reduce murder one to involuntary

manslaughter, ten years.

Involuntary, 3-5.

It is a good deal.

It's an enema of sunshine.

I'm sorry for taking a nanosecond

off of your rubber-stamp

assembly-line existence...

We withdraw.

Hello?!

So he can't do any of

the interaction stuff,

but he needs money.

So he sells out.

The beginning is him accusing

himself of having sold out.

It is an uneven drama,

it tries to cram a huge character

arc into a small period of time.

But he is really watchable,

you do believe in his transition

between somebody who is very

idealistic to somebody

who is selling himself out,

even if you don't quite believe

the drama around him.

It is quite often funny,

sometimes the tone is uneven

to the point of not working,

and I have to say it really

loses its way in the third act.

And ultimately it does not hang

together, but wouldn't you rather

look at a movie which tries to do

something interesting

and doesn't quite pull it off,

rather than something that is quite

down the line?

And he is so likeable,

I so liked Denzel Washington,

but I guess you want it

to be better.

Was it created just

as a vehicle for him?

Look, I think it is a film

that is trying to do a very

complicated character arc,

in a very compressed period of time,

and it doesn't quite hang together.

But it has such a strong lightning

rod performance at the end of it,

that you can forgive it

for the things that

are wrong with it.

Phantom Thread.

This is the new Paul

Thomas Anderson.

I think it is his best film

since Punch Drunk Love.

Daniel Day-Lewis is obsessed

with rituals, everything in his life

has to be one way...

Lesley Manville is his sister,

and suddenly his life falls apart.

He falls in love with a woman.

Firstly it has a brilliant

score by Jonny Greenwood,

who has been Oscar-nominated.

The music is wonderful.

I do think Lesley Manville is going

to win for Best Supporting Actress.

I have now seen this four time,

and every time I see it it looks

like it is a different film.

The more I watch it,

the more it becomes a fairy tale,

like a Powell and Pressburger film.

But it is also about

a woman entering a world

that is like Bluebeard.

The art ventures out

into the forest, strange mushrooms

that have extraordinary powers...

It is odd!

It is!

But the more you scratch away...

Right, it is beautifully

made.

That is such

a backhanded compliment!

It means it didn't work.

I loved the first half hour so much,

and there is such attention

to detail, with the music

and the costumes,

but the relationship

between the two of them just got

weirder and weirder.

But it is a fairy tale,

it is a mythical allegory.

It is a horror!

What it really is, it is a ghost

story about him being obsessed

with the ghost of his mother.

If you want a ghost story, forget

about Winchester, go and see this.

Very quick thought about DVD,

I'm curious as to whether,

should Blade Runner even be watched

on DVD, isn't it made

for the big screen?

I saw it first

on a huge IMAX screen.

Here's the good news,

it does stand up, because beyond

the extraordinary visuals,

it is a film that has substance.

It is about something,

it is about what artificial

intelligence is and what it means

to have a soul or not have a soul.

It is a very different

experience on home viewing,

but even if you saw it in the cinema

and loved it, it is going to work

again on DVD or Blu-ray.

And though it is really

divisive for some people,

but I think it is great.

Mark, thank you very much.

A quick reminder before we go that

you'll find more film news

and reviews from across the BBC

online at bbc.co.uk/mark kermode.

And you can find all our previous

programmes on the BBC iPlayer.

I think it is the week to go and see

Phantom Thread myself.

Goodbye.

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Chris Mason and Tina Daheley.

Good morning, here's a summary

of today's main

stories from BBC News:

Scotland Yard is looking into two

more allegations of sexual assault

into the Hollywood film producer

Harvey Weinstein, that brings the

total number of women who reported

him to British police to nine. The

actress Uma Thurman was also alleged

he assaulted her on two occasions.

She broke her silence in an

interview with the New York Times.

Mr Weinstein's team say the

accusations are false.

There's a warning this morning

from MPs that proposed cuts

to the Royal Marines

would significantly undermine UK

security and must be stopped.

The Defence Select Committee says

the government must cough up

amid speculation

of a funding squeeze.

The proposals would see two thousand

marines cut and and two specialist

ships taken out of service early.

The government says protecting

the UK will always be its priority.

A Russian military jet has been shot

down in northwestern Syria,

an area held by Syrian rebels.

The Defence Ministry in Moscow said

the pilot had managed

to deploy a parachute,

but was killed on the ground.

Italian police have arrested

a gunman suspected of carrying out

a drive-by shooting that

targeted African immigrants.

The suspect had an Italian flag

wrapped around his neck

when he was detained.

The victims are being treated

in hospital, at least one of them

is said to be in

a serious condition.

How airlines seat passengers will be

investigated in a new review.

It comes after accusations that

flight operators are deliberately

splitting up groups so they pay

extra to sit together.

The Civil Aviation Authority says

passengers are paying as much

as £400 million each

year to be reallocated,

and one in ten didn't

know they would incur an extra cost

to sit with loved ones.

We'll be talking about this later in

the programme.

Let's talk all things sport and Six

Nations, good morning. Quite an

exciting start, wasn't it?

I love

the start of the Six Nations.

You

were there?

I had a couple of days

in Cardiff building up to the

Scotland against Wales match, we

were talking up Scotland but we felt

a bit stupid because Scotland had

such a good year last year but it

didn't work out that way and this is

the beauty of the Six Nations.

Everybody seems to raise their

games.

We are up and running in this

year's championship,

two very contrasting matches

in Cardiff and Paris yesterday.

Ireland beat the French 15-13

with a monster of a drop-goal

from Jonny Sexton right

at the death, and Scotland's rugby

revival came a cropper

at the hands of the Welsh,

beaten 34-7 at the

Principlaity Stadium.

Hrre's our sports

correspondent Joe Wilson.

Six Nations predictions, Scotland

had their best chance in decades.

Wales would struggle with so many

injuries. By half-time in Cardiff,

rethink.

Interception, opportunity

for Wales and its Gareth Davies, can

anyone catch the scrum-half? Davies

for the corner, Harris can't get

there and a try for Wales.

Scotland

had a fair bit of the ball early on

but Wales used it with composure and

commonsense. Leigh Halfpenny scored

his first try in five years and then

he started the second half with

another. No way back now for

Scotland and for their fourth try

Wales really turned it on. Llanelli

Scarlets connections all over the

pitch. West is best, as they say

here. Steph Evans' sense of

direction was perfect. 34-7, final

score.

We've trained really well in

the last couple of weeks and I said

to the players I think we'll batter

them. We took what we've been doing

on the training pitch and were

clinical and we produced a really

good performance.

Funny in Six Nations how emotions

and optimism and pessimism can

change after just one match.

In Paris, everything changed it

seemed in the space of a sprint.

Finally some French magic in the

drizzle. Ireland had seemed in

control up until this, it meant

France led by a point and still be

led with the clock turned red. Time

was gone but Ireland still had one

last chance if they could get the

ball to Jonny Sexton, if he could

get his dropkick to make it.

Here it

comes... It looks good... He likes

it! Nigel Owens' arm goes up!

.

Word. Two memorable wins in two

radically different ways. That's the

first Saturday done. Joe Wilson, BBC

News.

Incredible celebrations at the end

in Paris, the French were

distraught. That will go down in

Irish rugby folklore. Let's look at

that again. They had been through 40

phases to keep the ball alive.

If

you look at his face he can't

believe it himself.

He was 44 metres out.

And it's

already being put up there as one

of the great match-winning drop

goals, Gerry Guscott for the Lions,

Jonny Wilkinson for England

to win the World Cup.

This is not as important for the

Irish but looking at those moments

at the final whistle, the final kick

of the match, it felt so important.

They won the match and they are up

and running with a victory.

Just happy to get another chance to

get the victory for the boys, we've

worked so hard for the last two

weeks and all our goals would have

crumbled today if we'd lost and it's

just great to be in the position

we're in now after getting the way

win.

They'll be raising a few glasses to

Johnny Sexton in Dublin I'm sure!

England start their Championship

in Rome against Italy

at three o'clock.

England's are also the defending

champions in the woemn's 6 Nations ,

the Red roses play

after the men at 5:30pm.

the Red Roses play

after the men at 5:30pm.

Ireland's women faced a tough

opener against France

in Toulouse yesterday.

The French side were relentless,

scoring four tries in total,

including two from Jade Le Pesque.

24-0 to them for a bonus point win.

Two Premier League

games this afternoon,

strugglers Newcastle

against Crystal Palace and then

what could be a cracker

sat Anfield Liverpool

taking on Tottenham.

There were goals everywhere

yesterday, a first for

Alexis Sanchez for his new club

Manchester United, they beat

Huddersfield, and Arsenals new boy

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang made

an impressive debut

as they put five past Everton.

Joe Lynskey reports.

New arrivals at the Emirates face a

special kind of pressure, but this

January Arsenal have gone all out to

bring in the best.

Mkhitaryaan, in

towards Aubameyang, he chips the

goalkeeper, it's a lovely finish.

At

£56 million, they'll hope it's just

the start of the Aubameyang dynasty,

but on a day when Arsenal put five

past evidence, it was an old head

who broke new ground. A first

hat-trick for Aaron Ramsey in his

nine years at the club. And fresh

faces have brought fresh hope.

Is

looks like they have the quality to

integrate with the game we want to

play. They are quick, sharp

movement, agile. Want the ball.

The

transfer window puts the strain on

football's relationships. February

is time to show affection. Alexis

Sanchez marked his Old Trafford

welcome with a first United goal. He

is the archetypal modern superstar

at a club with a poignant past. This

was the day they marked 60 years

since the Munich disaster.

Tributes were paid too at the

hawthorns on West Brom's first

chance to mark one of their own. The

death of Cyrille Regis was felt

hardest here. But the emotion

couldn't inspire the team to

victory. A crucial 3-2 win for

Southampton leaves Albion cut adrift

at the bottom.

It was a shame

because it was a special day in a

lot of ways but obviously not a

special result. As much as we sort

of have to and puffed in the second

half we couldn't find a way back

into it.

Pardew's I've may look in hope

towards Bournemouth to see how

quickly things can change. They came

from behind to beat Stoke and go

seven clear of trouble. Two wins in

four days may have transformed the

Cherries' season. At the

Cherries' season. At the top

Manchester City show few signs of

fading but they are at least showing

their human.

Raheem Sterling with

surely the miss of the season.

It's

normally city's opponents wanting

the ground to swallow them up but

this time Burnley look to make city

pay. This goals sealed a 1-1 drawer

and a red taste of regret for the

runaway leaders. They will surely

still be future champions but this

was the weekend football paid

respects to its past. Joe Lynskey,

BBC News.

There was a rare defeat for Celtic

in the Scottish Premiership.

They went down 1-0 at Kilmarnock,

only the second time that they've

lost to Scottish opposition

under Brendan Rodgers

Youssouf Mulumbu first

goal in four years gave

Killie their first win over

Celtic for five years,

the first in eight

years at Rugby Park.

Aberdeen won yesterday to cut

Celtic's lead to eight points.

Rangers lost.

You can find the other results

on the BBC Sport website.

Great Britain are up

against it in the Davis Cup,

they have to win both of today's

singles rubbers if they're to beat

Spain in their Davis Cup World

Group tie in Marbella.

Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot

were beaten in straight sets

in the doubles by Pablo Carreno

Busta and Feliciano Lopez

yesterday.

Cameron Norrie and Liam Broady

are due to play for GB

in the singles but captain

Leon Smith can select Kyle Edmund

if he is fit.

You can follow it all on BBC Two

from 10am this morning.

If they win that it would be heroic.

Thanks, speak to you later.

Here's Ben with a look

at this morning's weather.

How cold is it looking today?

Today,

pretty cold, particularly in the

south where you are exposed to a

strong north-easterly wind.

Some areas will feel like no better

than freezing but the big

compensation today is some sunny

spells, more sunshine than we had

yesterday, albeit with some wintry

showers. Here's yesterday's cloud

which brought patchy rain and hill

snow, most of that has faded away

overnight. We're starting to bring

in this strong cold north-easterly

wind and that speeding in some

wintry showers into eastern areas

and the potential for highs in parts

of eastern England as well. The

further west you come this morning,

further showers, more dry weather,

good spells of sunshine into the

south-west and Wales and north-west

England, a frost into north-west

England and in north-east England

and north-east Scotland, a few

wintry showers and a mixture of rain

sleet and snow. In western Scotland

and Northern Ireland, a bright but

cold start. Through the day Northern

areas will have fairly light winds

so where you get the sunshine it

won't feel too bad but the winds

that bit stronger further south,

continuing to feed in wintry showers

but through the afternoon the

showers mostly falling as rain and

sleet, not so much snow at this

stage but with the cold wind, your

thermometer might say five, six,

seven, but it will feel more like

freezing or maybe even below.

Meanwhile a relatively balmy 11 in

Rome for the Six Nations, Italy

against England. Some sunshine

overhead. Back home, though,

temperatures are going to plunge

overnight. A cold night to come.

Where we are still exposed to this

north-easterly wind, quite a few

wintry showers for East Anglia and

the south-east. Most of these will

be snow showers away from the

immediate coast and they could give

a few centimetres of snow into

Monday morning in some places,

confirmation of a cold night where

you are, these are towns and cities,

colder in the countryside with fog

patches. Snow and ice could cause

problems to the south-east tomorrow

morning, a few centimetres of snow

where we've had the showers

overnight and then the wintry

showers will drift further west

through the day. The weather system

into the north-west later on but in

between a lot of sunshine to enjoy

on Monday but still with actually

feel. As we move out of Monday into

Tuesday, we bring this frontal

system in from the west, outbreaks

of rain but potentially snow as well

as that pushes south-east. With a

cold week to come, we'll see

widespread frost and just about

wherever you are there could be a

bit of snow in the forecast.

Ben,

for now, thank you very much. We

will need to wrapped up warm. Winter

isn't finished with us yet!

Tinnitus may be perceived

as a condition that only

affects older people.

But new research suggests

the majority of UK parents

are unaware children

can also have it.

Now advice has been

sent out to teachers

as there may be one child in every

classroom with the hearing condition

according to the research.

We're joined now by 10-year-old

George, who has tinnitus,

and his mum, Niki.

and his mum, Niki.

Thanks for coming in this morning.

Let's start with you, when did you

realise George had to notice?

When

he was in Year 4, last year. -- had

to notice. He came home and said he

was stressed and upset with a header

take Jo headache. -- illiterates.

...

We went to the doctors and they

passed us on to find out what the

answer was.

How was it for you, what

were you hearing?

I was hearing a high-pitched buzzing

noise in my head and it was really

hurting me.

noise in my head and it was really

hurting me.

What did it sounds like?

It was really, really high-pitched.

It would be difficult not to only

describe it to work out where it was

coming from. Scary?

Yes.

It's

normally associated with older

people. It is not the case with

children certainly. It must have

been a big surprise.

We went to see

the audiologist.

the audiologist. Then she explained

it. She gets anxious. The brain is

like a superhero, isn't it? He

didn't know how to stop that cycle.

Learning how to control it, really.

Now that you know what it is, what

strategies do you use to make it

more bearable?

I just, you know,

breathe. I breathe all the time. I

take deep breaths when I'm about to

do big things and just keep calm.

How supportive as the school?

When I

do get headaches, they let me sit in

the library to do my work. I

normally feel a lot calmer after

that.

George Connolly you brought

some books. Tell us about those.

I

got given them by the audiologist.

There was an activity book with

drawing and stuff.

Let's just showed

the viewers. Here is George's book.

You can draw on there as well.

You can draw on there as well. Was

speaking to audiologists. What

advice they give in. She said it

might be the case that he always has

it.

For him, it is learning how to

deal with it, how to control it, how

to keep calm. It's when he is more

anxious, that's why we did breathing

exercises. Just chatting, having

some quiet time. You use your

headphones.

It is really helpful for

people who are watching at home. You

are staying with us but now, thank

you very much.

We'll be back with

the headlines at 7:00.

But now it's time for Click

with Spencer Kelly.

See you soon.

Welcome to Dubai, the desert kingdom

where there's no such thing

as too much.

This city has spent more

than a decade making a name

for itself for the outrageous

buildings that it's created.

But now it seems it wants to be

known for technology too.

A while ago, I paid it a visit

during its Drones for Good Challenge

and met some of the local innovators

who Dubai hopes will contribute

to its new tech power image.

But drones are not the only thing

is taking to the skies.

This hover bike designed

for the police force may one day be

whizzing officers to

the scene of a crime.

Copper chopper anyone?

The officers can be using the hover

bikes across the city to provide

the service in the right spot

and even a fast response.

And these weren't the only high-tech

additions to the force.

Back in May, the Dubai police got

some new recruits and these

weren't your ordinary newcomers,

these guys were made of the hard

stuff, and Kate Russell

went to meet them.

Like so much of Dubai's

over-the-top ambition,

the police force wants to be seen

to be using the latest crime

prediction and surveillance

technology to watch over the people.

We have our cameras,

our drones, our robots.

We are going to live

in a science-fiction movie.

Artificial intelligence-based

predictive crime systems,

autonomous patrol vehicles

and unmanned police stations

are just a few of their

futuristic initiatives.

ROBOT:

I am a humanoid

service robot...

Planned to be built in all

of Dubai's neighbourhoods

are the world's first

smart police stations,

which will be completely unstaffed.

Citizens can pop in for a safe

driving lesson, a quick coffee

or even to report crimes.

They can also meet

Dubai's own Robocop.

I am the latest incorporation

into Dubai's police department.

But unlike the movies...

Hello...

..He'll kill you with kindness.

You have really pretty eyes.

I think I'm getting

hit on by a robot!

Do you think I'm beautiful?

Yes.

I love talking with you.

Thank you.

You are absolutely astoundingly

gorgeous, but it's the least

interesting thing about you.

Myer sensors detect

the paparazzi among us.

Guess who it is?

It's him.

Flirting aside, the head

of artificial intelligence for Dubai

police sees the future with AI

and robotics very much at its heart.

Behind it is the artificial

intelligence, so it can see you,

it has a facial recognition

so it can identify the person

in front of them and send

all the live feed to the command

and control system.

We have a project what we call

the Dubai Eye where we have

integrated all the CCTV

cameras across the city,

and on top of that we're

going to build smart system where it

has a facial recognition.

It's so difficult to monitor more

than 10,000 cameras in the city,

so we have an intelligence system

that can analyse live feeds

from those cameras and it can also

predict also and identify all kinds

of activities, especially

the wanted people.

Although this unmanned facility

currently still needs a human

on conference call when it comes

to reporting a crime.

So I would like report a crime.

There is a robot here

and he's stolen my heart.

He's stolen your card?

My heart.

Your heart!

We've recently seen Chicago PD's

crime-predicting algorithms and now

Dubai's police are turning

their focus to preventing crimes

before they even happen.

This application analyses past crime

and tries to predict

where and when the next crime

in that zone could happen

in the future.

Another one of the smart services

offered to citizens in Dubai

is the ability to register

if you have a history

of cardiovascular problems.

You can see on the map

there represented by hearts.

Now, this means that

when an ambulance is called it

will instantly know that it could be

attending a heart attack victim,

and they say that this has allowed

them to reduce the number

of fatalities by more than 50%.

That's an impressive statistic,

but is this widespread surveillance

reminding anyone else

of a certain sci-fi film?

People are going to equate

this to Minority Report,

what kind of protocols do you have

in place to make sure the data

is used in ethical

ways in the future?

We don't predict who would commit

a crime, we predict where it

could happen and when it

could happen, so we can prevent it

and reduce the rate for the crimes.

With one in three crimes

being successfully predicted this

time last year, the benefits

of using artificial intelligence

are, well, predictable.

What's more surprising

is that the drone team here in Dubai

would like to see it

taken even further.

They believe they can use drones

to spot a potential criminal

by analysing a person's vital signs.

Like so many of Dubai's big plans,

all this stuff seems to have one

foot in ambitious reality

and the other in well-intentioned

fantasy.

Like so many of Dubai's big plans,

all this stuff seems to have one

foot in ambitious reality

and the other in well-intentioned

fantasy.

It's a place worth keeping an eye

on, though, and you can be very sure

they'll be keeping an eye on us.

Now, Fashion Week season is upon us.

New York next week will kickstart

the most important month

in a fashionista's

calendar, as I well know.

But there is a group of people

who do not see themselves reflected

zero people with disabilities.

London Fashion Week last year made

some progress when two disabled

models opened the show

for one of the designers.

Now a New York fashion school

is hoping to continue that,

combining tech and fashion

by designing bespoke clothes

for people with disabilities.

Paul Carter paid them a visit.

Buying clothes is something most

people take the granted.

You like the look of it,

you try it on, you buy it.

But what if your choices

are much more limited

because of an impairment

or disability?

I've come to a fashion lab

here in New York who are using tech

to make fashion more accessible.

Open Style Lab was is a non-proft

organisation in New York established

to make clothing for disabled

people which is both

functional and fashionable.

Operating in partnership

with Parsons School of Design

in Manhattan, they pair student

designers, engineers

and occupational therapists

with disabled people to tackle

real-world clothing conundrums.

Our goal pretty much and our vision

is to make style accessible

to people of all abilities,

whether it's disability or those

who have injury, or those

who are facing ageing,

by 2025 through design

and technology.

A year ago I was looking for a coat

I could put on without the use

of my arms.

Seven years ago, my arms became

paralysed and I needed a coat

for the brutal

New York City winters.

A friend referred me

to Open Style Lab and I was actually

one of the participants

for a semester.

I fell in love with Open Style Lab

and became a board member this year.

The team has access to a wide range

of tech, such as 3D printers

and arduinos, to assist

in the design process in the design

process and the clothing

they create.

I went to meet some of the people

on the receiving end

of this fashion innovation.

I'm an adult survivor of paediatric

cancer and it used to be called

a quartermain amputation, I think -

they take part of your arm,

take part of your shoulder,

a bit of the collarbone.

They're designing a bag

that doesn't carry exactly

like a backpack and doesn't

destroy my shoulder.

Jason Da Silva has multiple

sclerosis and has difficulties

with speech.

His design team were creating

a shirt with integrated microphone

and loudspeaker

to amplify his voice.

They're creating a sensor system

so I can talk louder

than I would normally.

It's a speaker system

for other people to use.

An emerging area in fashion design

being utilised by Open Style Lab

is conductive fabric.

This is material that can be

stitched into clothing to create

working circuits within garments.

This allows for switches to be

contained inside clothing,

which can in turn be used to operate

inbuilt items such as lights,

heaters and even electric motors.

This one, I haven't looped it

on but what it's doing

is using a microcontroller chip

and I've pretty much asked it to do

the same bait switch,

because it's got conductive fabric

inside, so when you touch one

of the pockets it will send a signal

and I did it for the microcontroller

to send a signal if it's left

or right, and these are some

of the prototypes that were made

for a woman with breast cancer

to see her range of motion,

so this is one of my first

iterations of putting on the chip

and using conductive thread

to figure out how the circuit lives

inside a garment.

Completed projects created

by Open Style Lab in the past

include a waterproof jacket shaped

to fit a wheelchair user

and a seamless top for a young girl

whose autism made her hypersensitive

to stitching because of autism.

That's it for the short cut

of Click for this week,

the full-length version is up

on iPlayer for you to watch

whenever you like.

And don't forget, we live

on throughout the week on Facebook

and on Twitter @BBCclick.

Thanks for watching,

we'll see you soon.

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Chris Mason and Tina Daheley.

The disgraced film producer

Harvey Weinstein faces fresh claims

of sexual assault.

Scotland Yard says a total

of nine women have now made

allegations against him.

The actress Uma ThUman

has broken her silence,

saying that Harvey Weinstein

tried to force himself

on her during the 1990s

following the release

of Pulp Fiction.

Good morning, it's Sunday

the 4th of February.

Also this morning:

MPs warn that cuts to

the Royal Marines could seriously

undermine UK security.

A jihadist group in Syria says it

shot down a Russian warplane

yesterday using a

shoulder-launched missile.

We'll hear from the British medical

team back home after bringing

a deadly disease under control

in the refugee camps of Bangladesh.

And in sport, there's a thumping win

for Wales against Scotland

and Ireland pip the french in Paris

with the last kick of the match.

It's a brilliant start

to the 6 Nations.

And Ben has the weather.

Good morning.

It's shaping up to be

a brighter day for most today,

quite a lot of sunshine

around but some

wintry showers too brought

in on a cold north-easterly wind.

All the weather details

you need to know on the way.

Cheers, Ben.

Talk to you later.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Scotland Yard is looking into two

more allegations of sexual assault

against the Hollywood film

producer Harvey Wine-steen.

It brings the total number of women

who have reported him

to British police to nine.

The actress Uma ThUman has also

alleged he assaulted her at a hotel

in London in the 1990s.

Our correspondent

Simon Jones has more.

She starred in several films

produced by the disgraced movie

mogul.

It was after the success

of Pulp Fiction that Uma ThUman

It was after the success

of Pulp Fiction that Uma Thurman

says she was targeted

by Harvey Weinstein.

Now she's the latest woman

to speak out in an interview

with the New York Times.

Uma Thurman claims Harvey Weinstein

pushed her down when she met him

in his suite here at

the Savoy Hotel in London.

She says he tried to expose

himself, he did all kinds

of unpleasant things.

But she said she managed

to wriggle away like a lizard.

The next day, she says,

a bunch of flowers arrived.

A spokeswoman for Harvey Weinstein

said in a statement:

It comes as Scotland

Yard say they've

received two further allegations

of sexual assault, one

from a woman who claims

Harvey Weinstein assaulted her

in Westminster in 2011,

and another from a woman

who says she was targeted

in the Republic of Ireland.

That brings the total number

of women who have reported

the producer to British

police to nine.

Officers in New York and Los Angeles

have also begun investigations.

He has denied all allegations

of non-consensual sex.

Harvey Weinstein was once one

of the most powerful men

in Hollywood, credited

with scores of Oscar wins,

but he has been thrown out

of the organisation that runs

the Oscars and he's now in rehab,

a huge fall from grace

from which there is

likely to be no return.

Simon Jones, BBC News.

There's a warning this

morning from MPs that cuts

to the Royal Marines

would significantly undermine UK

security and must be stopped.

The Defence Select Committee says

the government must cough up

amid speculation of a funding

squeeze on the elite fighting unit.

Daniella Relph reports.

The training, known

for being tough and arduous.

6,500 Royal Marines go through it

to make them amongst Britain's

elite fighting forces,

known for their versatility

and their ability to respond quickly

to situations around the world.

The Royal Marines also provide up

to half the personnel

for the UK Special Forces.

The Defence Select Committee report

warns that further cuts

to the Marines would damage

their ability to be a high-readiness

unit, quickly deployable,

often in difficult circumstances.

It also criticises plans to end

the use of HMS Albion as a ship

from which beach assaults are made.

If there are new and intensified

threats you would think we'd be

adding to our capabilities,

not deleting one of our

world-beating star capabilities.

The committee praises

the Defence Secretary,

Gavin Williamson, for taking control

of the defence review,

but again warn

that he won't be able to prevent

harsh cuts without extra funding

from the Treasury.

The Ministry of Defence says that

protecting the UK is its priority

and stress that the Royal Marines

play a vital role in

defending the country.

Daniella Relph, BBC News.

A senior Conservative MP has accused

ministers of being vague

and divided over Brexit.

Bernard Jenkin, who was

on the board of the official

Leave campaign, said civil servants

deserved an unambiguous

and united

direction from ministers,

singling out the Chancellor Philip

Hammond for criticism.

It comes ahead of key

ministerial meetings this week

on the UK-EU relationship.

A Russian military jet has been shot

down in north-western Syria,

an area held by Syrian rebels.

The Defence Ministry in Moscow said

the pilot had managed

to deploy a parachute,

but was killed on the ground.

Sarah Corker reports.

The burning wreckage of what looks

like a Russian fighter jet,

red stars clearly

visible on the wing.

This footage posted online appears

to show the plane being hit

and bursting into flames

in a rebel-held area

of north-west Syria.

Jihadist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham,

formally linked to al-Qaeda,

said it had shot the plane down

with a surface-to-air missile.

Moscow said the pilot ejected

and survived the crash

but was killed by

rebels on the ground.

The Sukhoi 25 fighter was shot down

near the city of Saraqeb,

close to a major highway

in Idlib province.

It was back in December

when the Syrian government,

backed by Russian air power,

launched a major offensive

against rebel groups

in Idlib, the last province

under rebel control.

But civilians are

paying a heavy price.

Thousands have fled.

On Friday, rescuers said they pulled

the bodies of at least seven

civilians from cars hit by air

strikes south of Aleppo.

This incident is a rare loss

for the Russian air force.

Opposition groups have in the past

shot down Syrian planes but rarely

those of the Russian army,

and there are reports that Moscow

has responded by firing

cruise missiles from navy vessels

in the Mediterranean.

Sarah Corker, BBC News.

Italian police have arrested

a gunman suspected of carrying out

a drive-by shooting that

targeted African immigrants.

The suspect had an Italian flag

wrapped around his neck

when he was detained.

The victims are being treated

in hospital, at least one of them

is said to be in

a serious condition.

How airlines seat passengers will be

investigated in a new review.

It comes after accusations that

flight operators are deliberately

splitting up groups so they pay

extra to sit together.

The Civil Aviation Authority says

passengers are paying as much

as £400 million each

year to be reallocated,

and one in ten didn't

know they would incur an extra cost

to sit with loved ones.

An Olympic ice hockey team

with players from both North

and South Korea will compete

for the first time later today.

The all-women team will take

on Sweden in a friendly match before

the start of the Winter

Olympics next week.

North Korea's participation

is being seen as a show

of reconciliation with the South.

Here's our macro soul correspondent

Laura Bicker with more.

This is the first time the public

will get a chance to see the South

Korean inter- Korean hockey team

play. 'S, that a lot of controversy

here in South Korea. There was a

feeling certainly among a lot of

young people that the South Korean

government had jeopardised this

women's hockey team's chances at its

own Olympics and they were using

these players as a political pawn to

try to encourage North Korea to take

part in talks to reduce its nuclear

weapons programme. So there was

certainly a feeling that the South

Korean government had not consulted

on this, had not spoken to the

women's hockey players before

deciding on a joint team. They were

told that the team would work on a

roster, that everyone would get

their shot. There are 12 members

from North Korea and the unification
