10/02/2018 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Naga Munchetty

and Charlie Stayt.

The government condemns

the "appalling abuse of vulnerable

people in Haiti" and says

the charity Oxfam has serious

questions to answer.

The Department for International

Development says it is reviewing

its work with the organisation.

The charity denies

claims of a cover-up.

Good morning, it's Saturday

the 10th of February.

Also this morning:

A government minister says

two captured members

of the British Islamic State cell,

nicknamed 'the Beatles' should be

considered for trial at the Hague.

Two tech giants go head-to-head.

We'll find out what happened

when Uber took on Google's

self-drive company Waymo in court.

In sport, it's wipe-out

for the Brits on day one

of the Olympics.

All three of the medal hopes

in the snowboard slopestyle fail

to make the final with Billy Morgan

falling on his final run.

And where the athletes

eat, sleep and train -

we'll get a guided tour

behind the scenes.

And Nick has the weather.

Good morning, it is the weekend so

there is another weather system

coming into the UK. Rain at some

stage for all of us. The chance of

snow, especially later. And after

being less cold today, tomorrow is

much colder again. I have your full

forecast coming

up.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

The Department for International

Development is reviewing its work

with Oxfam following claims

the charity covered up the use

of prostitutes by some of its staff.

Oxfam has insisted it

publicised the action it took

against the workers,

some of whom were fired.

However, the Times is reporting

several went on to work for other

However, the Times is reporting

several went on to work for other

charities who were unaware

of their past behaviour.

Jessica Parker reports.

An advert to the charity giant

Oxfam, it got nearly £32 million

from the UK Department for

International Development in the

last financial year. To be the

sexual exploitation scandal, the

government said last night :

the allegations surround the

behaviour of eight workers here in

Haiti following the devastating

earthquake in 2010. The Times

newspaper investigation found

inappropriate behaviour, including

the use of prostitutes. The charity

has denied a cover-up and says it

publicly announced an enquiry into

the claims in 2011. It said the

behaviour of some of its staff had

been totally unacceptable. But that

allegations of under age girls may

have been involved were not proven.

For staff members were dismissed and

three were allowed to design as part

of the internal investigation. But

today, the Times reports fresh

claims that Oxfam failed to warn

other aid agencies about the staff,

allowing them to take other jobs in

the sector. Do you actually know

where these people are?

I would not

know because I have been out of

Oxfam for five years, you would have

to ask somebody else that.

There is

wide acknowledgement that hundreds

of Oxfam staff have done no wrong

but the charity does now face

serious questions about its past and

what it means to its future. Jessica

Parker, BBC News.

The Defence Minister Tobias Ellwood

has suggested two members

of the so-called Islamic State group

who are from London should be tried

at the International

Criminal Court in The Hague.

The BBC understands that the two,

who were part of a unit thought

to have murdered 27 hostages,

have been stripped of their British

citizenship.

Our political correspondent

Chris Mason reports.

This is Tobias Ellwood who was

called a hero after giving first aid

to PC Keith Palmer, the policeman

stabbed to death in the Westminster

Tower attack last year. He also lost

his brother in a terrorist attack in

Bali in 2002. Now, Mr Elwood, a

defence minister, has intervened

over what will happen over these

men, Alexander Katie and El Shafee

Elsheikh. They were part of the gang

suspected of murdering Alan Henning,

the driver and aid worker from

Eccles, and David Haines, a

long-time aide worker from Perth. In

interviews with the times and the

Daily Telegraph, Tobias Ellwood

demands what he calls an agreed

international process for captured

fighters. Guantanamo Bay created a

new combatant status that bypassed

the Geneva Convention, used torture

and failed to address a wider global

jihadist insurgency that continues

today. He says. Adding:

last month, President Trump said he

was keeping Guantanamo Bay open. A

decision is yet to be made about

what will happen to these two men.

Chris Mason, BBC News.

South Korea's President has held

a historic meeting with the sister

of North Korea's

leader, Kim Jong-un.

The meeting is seen as a direct

challenge to the Trump

administration, which had urged

caution rather than engagement

with the North.

with the North.

However, South Korea is hoping

to use the Winter Olympics

to improve diplomatic relations.

Let's get more on this

from our correspondent

Stephen McDonnell,

who's in Pyeongchang.

Stephen, hello! Interesting that

this meeting took place, this

handshake, a significant?

Remarkable

events we have seen here over the

last two days in South Korea, first

handshake with South Korea's leader

in the stadium at the opening

ceremony shaking hands with the

sister of the North Korean leader,

that image is going viral around the

world and will be one of the things

we remember from this winter

Olympics. But then today, this

meeting, I mean, US vice president

Mike Pence came here to the Winter

Olympics essentially saying to the

south do not pure engagement with

the north and the government in the

South he has that advice of its key

ally in Washington and today, the

North Korean leader, his sister, Kim

Yo Jong, has, along with a high

level group of figures from the

North Korean government, entered the

Blue House, met with the South

Korean President then had lunch, and

you would love to know what was said

in the meeting, there is some

speculation whether or not she may

have been carrying a message from

her brother and possibly even an

invitation for him to, at some

point, to North Korea. As I say,

historic event unfolding before us

at the Winter Olympics and it is

kind of a geopolitical shift is what

you are seeing here, really. It

isn't that the south is about to

ditch the US as its key ally but

certainly the government of Moon

Jae-in has stood up to the Trump

administration and is taking a very

different tack with North Korea.

It

will be very interesting to see the

next reactions to this meeting.

Stephen, thank you. We will of

course have a look at events taking

place as we speak in the winter

Olympics a little later on with Mike

in the sport.

Survivors of sexual abuse

in the Church of England are holding

a protest this morning at a meeting

of the General Synod,

as the church faces criticism over

how it deals with complaints.

It comes as fresh information has

been passed to police in the case

of a bishop accused 60 years

after his death of sexual abuse.

Here's our religion

editor Martin Bashir.

Scholar, priest and champion of the

oppressed, George Pell served as

Bishop of chin just over 30 years

until his death in 1958. But his

reputation was tainted two years ago

when it was revealed the Church had

paid this woman almost £17,000

following claims she had been abused

by him. Friends of George Pell

demanded to know how the Church came

to believe the complainant and an

independent review led by the

barrister Lord Carlisle described

the Church's processes as inadequate

and too willing to believe the

accuser. But while the church

accepted the report's

recommendations, the Archbishop of

Canterbury Justin Welby said the

cloud was left over the reputation

of Bishop Bell. His comments

infuriated supporters of the Bishop.

During his speech at the Church's

ruling Senate yesterday, the

Archbishop made only the briefest of

references to the issue of abuse.

Our approach to safeguarding these

culture change.

At Church house

later this morning a large gathering

of survivors will confront members

of General Synod as they arrived for

their final session. The latest

figures show the Church of England

dealt with more than 3000 issues of

safeguarding during 2016 with 18%

involving clergy. Martin Bashir, BBC

News.

A second member of staff

at the White House has resigned over

allegations of domestic abuse.

The former wife of speech writer,

David Sorensen, claimed

he was violent and abusive

during their marriage -

something he denies.

Earlier, Donald Trump was criticised

for publicly praising another aide,

Rob Porter, who stepped down over

accusations of abuse made

by his two ex-wives.

A convicted killer who drove his car

over a woman as she tried

to stop him stealing her handbag has

gone on the run after he was freed

from prison on licence.

Mark Woolley was jailed for life

at the Old Bailey in 2001

for the murder of costume

designer Elizabeth Sherlock

and was released in November.

Scotland Yard says he was last seen

at a probation meeting

in East London 10 days ago.

Gerry Adams, one of

the longest-serving party leaders

in the world, will step down

as president of Sinn Fein today.

After more than 34 years

in the post, he will be replaced

by Mary Lou McDonald at a specially

convened party conference in Dublin.

Our Ireland correspondent

Chris Page reports.

Mary Lou McDonald is said to be the

new leader of Irish Republicanism.

Her party is the second-biggest in

Northern Ireland and third largest

in the Republic of Ireland. Sinn

Fein wants to be in government in

Stormont and Dublin believes that

will help towards the ultimate goal

of Irish unity. At the years,

Republicans tried to achieve that

through bombs and bullets with Sinn

Fein being seen as the political

wing of the IRA. Gerry Adams always

denied being in the paramilitary

organisation but security sources

believe he was a senior IRA man.

During more than three decades of

Sinn Fein president, he led the

Republican movement away from

violence and into the peace process.

Mary Lou McDonald is a very

different background. She in an

affluent suburb of Dublin and has no

direct experience of the Northern

Ireland conflict were not

particularly well known outside

Ireland, she has had a leading role

in the Irish parliament for several

years and has become known for

robust performances. She was the

only candidate to put her name

forward to succeed Gerry Adams and

has already indicated she will do

things her way.

I won't feel Gerry's

shoes. But the news is that I

brought my own.

She will be

installed as leader as a crucial

four at a special party conference

today but her first major challenge

will be in Belfast were talks to

restore the devolved government are

expected to reach a crunch point

next week. Chris Page, BBC News.

A house behind you? A bit of

renovating this weekend will keep me

busy. Yes, it is the weekend. Of

course, that is wet weather and the

forecast. Today, most of us will see

rain at some stage

forecast. Today, most of us will see

rain at some stage tomorrow. Apply

today but much colder tomorrow as

well. The showers that come will

will be increasingly of snow. Some

wintry weather around this weekend.

Let's take a look at the big

picture. The satellite image, this

area of cloud here that has been

sliding into the UK as we have been

through the night, just some across

East Anglia. Maybe some early

sunshine. That is not going to last

too long. Outbreaks of rain

south-east. Scotland will be

brightening up this afternoon,

Northern Ireland will turn dry. More

heavy rain coming back. This is the

picture at three o'clock this

afternoon. The odd dot of white into

Northwest Scotland. A lot of clear

whether in Scotland. A few brighter

spells coming through. Outbreaks of

rain, patchy in nature. That is the

picture this afternoon at three

o'clock. Temperature-wise, a bit

less cold than it has been today

that temperatures struggling a

little bit. Up to 11 or 12 degrees.

More Six Nations rugby action today.

A cloudy and worked there for our

matches. More rain to come this

evening, if you are out and about.

Notice the white here. This is rain

turning to snow to relatively low

levels. As the system begins to pull

away. Maybe gusts up to 60 miles an

hour. Less cold overnight. Notice

those temperatures holding up. Parts

of northern England, going into

Sunday morning. These blobs of white

coming in on a north-westerly wind.

These are snow showers around, maybe

some hail as well. Some sunny

spells. Temperatures will be lower.

Especially when the showers move

through. Some will be crossing

further east as we go through the

day. That sets the scene for a

different day tomorrow because it

will be much, much colder. The

charts are some of these snow

showers to get a light covering in

places. A little less cold to some

of us today but wet weather right

back to the Bridge tomorrow.

of us today but wet weather right

back to the Bridge tomorrow. Thank

you very much.

It's the blockbuster legal battle

that's been engrossing

Silicon Valley, but in a surprise

move Uber has settled its dispute

with the self-driving

car company Waymo.

The cab-hailing app

was accused of stealing trade

secrets about Waymo's technology.

Uber denied the accusation,

promising to fight it out in front

of a jury in San Francisco.

However, all of a sudden -

they struck a deal.

Our North America technology

reporter Dave Lee has been

following each twist and turn.

This case captivated Silicon Valley,

mostly because of this man.

Morning, Travis!

Uber's former chief executive

Travis Kalanick is expected

by many

to be the very embodiment

of Silicon Valley's bro culture,

overconfidence and

aggressive ambition.

In court this week, he was accused

of orchestrating a grand plan

to steal self-driving technology

from Google and then put it

into Uber's own cars.

Mr Kalanick believes the technology

is vital if Uber is to survive.

Jurors heard how he had meetings

with then-Google employee Anthony

Levandowski.

It was alleged that Mr Lewandowski

stole more than 14,000 alleged

documents

and then left Google

to set up his own company,

then he sold it to Uber.

In a remarkable moment

during the trial, the jury was shown

this scene from the 1989

film Wall Street.

The prosecution said Travis Kalanick

acted like a real-life Gordon Gecko.

The point is, ladies and gentlemen,

that greed, for lack of a better

word, is good.

Greed is right.

But convincing jurors that

Mr Kalanick is something

of a slippery operator was not

going to be enough to win the case.

What the prosecution had

to demonstrate was that Uber

was using the stolen technology,

and that was proving

much more difficult.

And so, the risk for Google would

have been that they were a bully

and that they went after

a competitor in order to suppress

competition,

rather than to vindicate

their legitimate intellectual

property rights.

Conversely the risk for Uber,

by continuing, would have been,

well, what if we lose

the whole thing?

And so, this settlement is perhaps

a good result for both sides.

As part of the deal,

Uber agreed to give up 0.34%

of its company, worth

around $245 million.

In a statement, Mr Kalanick insisted

no trade secrets were ever used

and he said had the trial played

out, Uber would have won.

We will not get the chance to find

out if he was right.

Now it's time for the film review

with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode.

Hello and welcome

to the Week in Tech.

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 have Black Panther,

which opens on Tuesday.

We have Pad Man, based

on a true, inspiring story.

Black Panther, why isn't it

opening until Tuesday?

I presume it is because it will give

it a long opening weekend.

It has been eagerly awaited.

At the beginning of the film,

it is a technologically advanced

society and they must

keep their secrets away

from the rest of the world in case

it falls into the wrong hands.

Inevitably, to some extent it does.

The movie pays great attention

to character and detail.

Here is a clip.

Remote system activated.

Wait, which side of the road is it?

Just drive.

Let's go!

Look at your suit.

You have been taking bullets.

Run around the track.

Where did he go?!

Show off.

That is the most generic stuff.

There's much more interesting

stuff in the film.

Its strengths are threefold.

It looks great.

The world of Wakanda

is superbly realised.

Photographed by Rachel Morrison.

You really feel that you're in that

world and it is well evoked.

The second thing, it sounds great,

everything from the sharp dialogue

to the superb music keeps

the action moving along.

It really involves

you in the characters.

It is well played.

It is a really good cast.

But the most important

thing is, you believe

in the world of the film.

You believe in the characters

and you know and understand

the characters' motivation.

I am not a huge comic book fan.

The thing about this is,

it works on its own terms

as a stand-alone piece.

There has been a lot written

about the importance of this

movie at this moment.

But it will only work if the film

itself works as a rip-roaring

piece of entertainment,

and it does.

It is important, but I can

look at that and say,

as well documented on this

programme, action films

are so not my thing,

but they are the thing

of my other half.

Our debate will be, is it two hours

of my life I will never get

back and she will say,

no, we have to go and see it.

You get the spectacle,

all the stuff you want and it does

look and sound wonderful.

But you know the characters,

you like them and understand them.

This is a world where there are no

gender imbalances you often get.

Men and women are on an

equal playing field.

When they have the big

fight sequences, even

I understood who everyone was,

who they were fighting,

why they were fighting

and what they were trying to do

with their time.

As a piece of drama,

it is well laid out.

I really enjoyed it.

I might have a hope.

I am normally nudging going, what?

Who is this person?

Why are they doing that?

If I can understand it,

anyone can understand it!

You give me hope.

Pad Man.

Sounds unusual?

It is a man in India

who invented a low-cost machine

for making sanitary pads.

He's credited with breaking

the taboo around menstruation.

The hears a newlywed young man

who doesn't understand

The story is of a newlywed young man

who doesn't understand

why his new bride spends five days

every month out of the house.

Then he is appalled by the shame

and silence in which the women

around him suffer every month.

He designs a machine to make

low-cost sanitary pads,

which will not only protect

the health of the women

but provide employment.

But he does so in a culture

in which there is a lot of shame

around this subject.

The director of the film said

he wanted to make the story

as accessible as possible.

He does, it has slapstick comedy,

music sequences, laughs,

romance and tension.

It is a really joyful

and uplifting film.

It is telling the story,

which has its roots

in a real-life story.

It is a fictionalised version

of a real-life story,

but it does stick close

to the truth.

It is charmingly done and playing

to the widest possible audience,

and succeeding in taking that story

and making it completely accessible,

and it is charming and uplifting.

Another hit.

Fantastic, wonderful story.

Based on a true story,

which is more than can be said

for 50 Shades Freed.

This is the final instalment.

It began as online

Twilight fan fiction.

We do have Twilight

to thank for this.

The story is, having

tamed Christian Grey,

Anastasia must see if she can find

independence and happiness

within their marriage.

Here is a clip.

You do want to have

kids someday, right?

Someday, sure.

You don't really sound sure.

You know what I am sure about?

That's great steak.

Christian...

Do you not want to have kids?

Of course.

One day, just not now.

I'm not ready to share

you with anyone.

He doesn't want children.

I can tell her that now.

There is a narrative arc...

It is easy to sneer

at the Fifty Shades movies

because they are not very good.

The first one, they tried to do

something interesting,

but it was too restricted.

They tried to change the script.

The second one by James Foley

stuck to the ear-scraping

dialogue of the source.

It is badly written,

the actors are doing their best

with pretty intolerable dialogue.

James Foley is directing

on autopilot.

He's an interesting director but ge

has been given this as a safe

pair of hands.

It ends up looking like a promo

simply for a glamorous

lifestyle for fast cars

and designer apartments.

Although there is some kinky

fetishism, it is very peripheral.

What the film is interested in,

is look at that private jet.

It is a film about possessions

and about those kind of aspirations.

In the end it ends up looking

like a commercial or pop promo.

It makes you look back to the days

of Nine And A Half Weeks and think

wow, what a ground-breaking,

Citizen Kane-like movie that was.

I don't know why people get angry

because it is playing to a certain

audience who are devoted to it.

It will pack the audiences out

on the first weekend.

I am clearly not

the target audience.

As a cinemagoer, the first one

was the only one that was vaguely

interesting and the next two

are just dull.

Fantastically unremarkable.

You can't criticise the cast.

If anybody gave you that dialogue

to read, Laurence Olivier

would struggle to deliver some

of those lines, which

are on the level of,

is everything all right?

Can I get you a latte?

LAUGHTER.

I think I will sleep Black Panther.

Have you seen Phantom Thread again,

the last time we met

you had seen it four times.

No, I have not seen it again.

I love Johnny Greenwood's score.

He's been Oscar-nominated.

People say they don't

like the central character.

You are not meant to like him,

he is meant to be difficult.

Lesley Manville steals the show.

I think it is Paul Thomas Anderson's

best film since Punch Drunk Love

and they make a cracked

romance double bill.

I would watch Phantom Thread again

but alongside Punch Drunk Love.

There is something about it.

There was a debate whether

the costumes he designs

are deliberately not very good.

Everybody says he is a fabulous

dress designer but the first thing

he designs has somebody dressed up

like the Queen of Hearts.

But that is kind of

the point, I like it.

It's certainly a talking point.

The DVD, Loving Vincent.

It reminds me of our conversation

last week when I said can you watch

Blade Runner on a DVD,

it is the same about Loving Vincent.

It is an extraordinary

achievement in technical terms.

And oil painted animated movie,

as far as I know the world's first.

The narrative is a bit flimsy,

it is about going back

to find out what happened

in Vincent Van Gogh's life.

I have seen it on the big screen

and the small screen

and it has the same...

It is hypnotising, like watching

paintings you know moving around.

Slightly odd, but stunning.

If you have it on DVD,

you can go back and watch it again

and marvelling at the hours of work

that must have gone

into creating it.

Six years of painting

to create the film.

Astonishing.

Thank you.

An interesting week.

A quick reminder, you can find

all the film news and reviews

across the BBC on the website.

All our previous programmes

are on the iPlayer as well.

That's it for this week,

enjoy your cinemagoing.

Goodbye.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

The government has condemned

the "appalling abuse of vulnerable

people in Haiti" and says Oxfam has

serious questions to answer over

claims the charity covered up

the use of prostitutes by some

of its staff.

Oxfam insists it publicised

the action it took against the aid

workers involved, some

of whom were fired.

However, the Times is reporting

several went on to work for other

charities, who were unaware

of their past behaviour.

Tobias Ellwood has suggested that

two members of the so-called Islamic

State group from London should be

tried at the International Criminal

Court in The Hague. The BBC

understands that Alexanda Kotey and

El Shafee Elsheikh whose unit is

thought to have melted Mervyn 30

hostages have been stripped of their

British citizens. -- murdered more

than. They are yet to receive a

request from any country to hand

them over.

South Korea's president has held

a historic meeting with the sister

of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un.

The meeting is seen as a direct

challenge to the Trump

administration, which had urged

caution rather than engagement

with the North.

However, South Korea is hoping

Gerry Adams, one of the longest

serving party leaders in the world,

will step down as President

of Sinn Fein today.

After more than 34 years

in the post, he will be replaced

by Mary Lou McDonald at a specially

convened party conference in Dublin.

Her first major challenge will be

in Northern Ireland,

where talks to restore the devolved

government are due to conclude next

week.

Those of our main stories, it is 630

AM, bikies here and we have a full

day of Olympic action. So much to

come. The skier Loni is coming up,

combining two different types of

cross-country skiing, the classic

technique and freestyle. Annika

Taylor represent us in that. A long

way, imagine the pain. It has been

under way, lots happening, not such

good news for the Brits in

slopestyle. Billy Morgan said that

he felt headwind coming into one of

his tricks he thought oh no. After

that psychologically it is difficult

to get back. This is the

snowboarding event with the amazing

jumps? That is right. There is still

big air and there are still chances

for the Brits to make amends.

So on this first proper

day, it wasn't to be

for Britain's Billy Morgan,

Jamie Nicholls and Rowan Coultas,

in the snowboarding slopestyle.

In strong headwinds, they all failed

to qualify for tomorrow's final.

Overall today could be the start of

something special to Team GB going

for a record medal telly in these

games. Later this morning, we speak

to -- skater Elise Christie goes for

her medals.

Joe Lynskey rounds up

the action so far.

On snow and ice British success

stands out in the memory, it is

really expected and it makes medals

more special. But Intel chain, Team

GB face a new kind of expectation,

carrying the flag in South Korea is

Lizzie Arnold, laying the

foundations. -- Pyeongchang. The

gold in Sochi inspired the best

metal talent since the 20s, they

want to go further, five medals or

more would make it their best ever

performance. A groundbreaking

results have intensified the focus.

Today Elise Christie takes to the

ice, she is a world champion now,

more used to victory.

Our sport is

supposed to be boring, you are not

supposed to sit in seconds over me

you know like I want to go out there

and fight for that win. I might not

do it right you know that is what I

will be trying to do so sure.

The

first British interest came on the

snowboard slopes, and replace the

destruction, the team practice their

trips on a giant airbag might hear

there is no soft landing. Jamie

Nicholls was on the edge of a

qualifying place, he just pushed too

far. A surprise 60 in Sochi but not

in this event.

That is how it goes

sometimes in competition, just have

obviously wasn't my day and right

now it looks like I might just sat

on the finals by one spot! Right

now!

I would be gutted. This sport

is about artistry in the air,

computer game ambition. Billy

Morgan's made his name with big

tricks on you Tube. He had to catch

the eye to make the final.

COMMENTATOR: No, Billy! The

disappointment tells!

For him, or

three and Rowan Coultas, the big air

competition is a chance for

redemption but from here the

campaign turns to Elise Christie's

campaign, she is the speed skater

Boeing the superstardom. Plenty more

to come, do not be disappointed by

the early failure to qualify in the

slopestyle.

Now back home, and a mouthwatering

contest at Twickenham

where England take on Wales.

England, remember, are bidding

to win the title three years

in a row.

They dominated against

Italy last week.

But Wales were mightily impressive

too, in their win against Scotland.

It is a big occasion for everyone

involved but for us, it is the next

game, the next game on our journey,

the next game to develop and prove

and focus on performance and I tell

you what, if we get our performance

right, we will get a result.

You are not playing a venue, give up

playing an occasion, the game and

the guys who are involved in the

park and 80,000 fans will make the

occasion but past results in the

past performances will be a little.

The first game of the day

is in Dublin, where Ireland

take on Italy.

The Irish beat France last weekend

thanks to a late drop kick,

from Jonny Sexton,

and skipper Rory Best,

says the euphoria of that moment has

boosted the team all week.

Just amazing how to kick a football

and 82.5 minutes or whatever it was

of rugby in the context metaphor can

change the context of how you feel

and the mood and what they say,

getting back home in the 60s is a

big thing for us.

It's also round two

of the women's six nations.

England host Wales at

the Twickenham Stoop

as they chase a second

consecutive grand slam title.

And in the evening game,

Scotland will be looking

for their first win

of the tournament against France

at Scotstoon.

In domestic rugby, Bath are up

to third place in the Premiership,

thanks to a convincing

win over Northampton.

Ross Batty with the last of three

tries in the final minutes.

32-9 the score.

And Joy Neville became the first

woman to referee a Pro14 match,

taking charge of Ulster

against Southern Kings,

and she saw Ulster dominate

the game, winning 59 points to 10,

with Craig Gilroy scoring three

of their nine tries.

There was a thrilling finish

to the Super League match

between Wakefield and Salford.

After a last-minute try

from Salford, Gareth O'Brien had

to land this kick to earn his side

a point but it drifted just wide,

so Wakefield won

by 14 points to 12.

There's no doubt about

the big game of the day

in the Premier League -

the North London derby at Wembley,

with Tottenham and Arsenal both

chasing a top four finish

and Champions League

football next season.

For Arsene Wenger, there's more

than local pride at stake

with his side four points behind

Spurs in the table.

I know he has been watching his

games over 20 years that the Isis is

an opportunity to come back on the

table, but the Champions League spot

that he is the priority.

Last season, we were above them and,

but it isn't to be focused on them

but I think the me, it is not going

forward from me, both teams have the

quality and the powerful and the

quality to win games.

Celtic's defence of the Scottish

Cup continues today -

they take on Partick Thistle

in the fifth round.

We told you that all three British

competitors in the snowboard

slopestyle had failed

to make the final.

We'll here's how it should be done.

This is Canada's Max Parrow,

who qualified top

of the 12 finalists.

Are you going to do it? In yes, me,

in the studio.

Big double cork 12-60.

Front side 10-80.

Triple cork 14-40.

What do the numbers mean? No. You

have me. Is it a rotation or the

number of...? If it is a triple

cork, 14- 40, is it? The scale of

difficulty may be? Should we find

out?

Big Air is really

Parrow's speciality -

he hasn't been beaten in that

for a year and according

to the commentators,

his slopestyle has suffered

as a result -

no sign of that today.

Look at that. It is amazing. That is

what we struggled with in a

headwind, the final landing.

Absolutely flawless. Lovely the way

everyone watching when you are

competing, they all really

appreciated. It is a family, they

all support each other and despite

the disappointment, they all support

each other even in defeat.

It's already being billed

as the biggest Winter Olympic Games

yet - there are almost 3,000

athletes from 92 countries competing

So where do you put them all up?

We sent BBC Sport's Radzi

Chinyanganya to check out

the facilities at the athletes'

village in Pyeongchang.

Each and every one of those flags

represent the country competing here

in the Winter Olympics and this is

the Olympic athletes village and we

have come to take a look around.

Genuinely no idea what goes on here,

all I know is it's as recreation

area. OK, this is my kind of place,

we have Paul, table hockey,

basically one conclusion- doesn't

matter what country you come from,

entertainment is a universal

language. Once you have to have your

arm twisted to do things and I think

the massage chair, you just have to

take one to the team. OK. I have

never sat in one of these before and

I could get used to this. It has

started. It is good, it is pressing

into my... O! This is... Let's never

move from here! With the

temperatures being officially

Baltic, repletion calories is inside

here, the athlete dining hall. Can't

go in because I am not an athlete

but it smells very good! We are in

part of the gym which is the cardio

focused area and this is where the

athlete ultimately cannot really get

much stronger off it they can

certainly make sure they keep things

ticking over, ready for the most

important of their lives. When the

GB athletes aren't competing or

indeed training to compete, they are

inside here, the Team GB HQ and we

have been invited to go inside. It

is please do not disturb, that is

for a good reason because the

bobsled guys have had a nap, are

inside there, I have been told it is

messy, it is lived in and

straightaway you have seen a man his

boxes. Gentleman. How are we doing?

Good to see you. How you feeling,

your first Winter Olympics?

Anyone

who is at their first, second, third

Olympics is feeling incredible right

now.

Your second Olympics and

Britain's the fastest man?

That is

nice, second Olympics, it is

exciting is the first, you want to

get out there, it has been such a

buildup.

It is no question about the

team spirit in here, you obviously

get on.

Great talks in his sleep so

we get on in the day...

Can I see

your helmet? This is the helmet you

would be wearing when you are

indeed...

When you see me rocking to

the block and sliding down, I will

be wearing this bad way.

You will be

wearing the most performance top in

your life, what is going to a head?

I feel good, happy, we compete

against these guys year-round soap

for us it is thought of that we want

to win all year but this is the big

one.

Well, that is what it is like behind

the scenes. It is always nice to get

a sneaky little book. And the

athletes themselves, you always

think it is very glamorous. You

know? There is something basic about

it. Basic conditions. They other two

works I suppose it keeps them

focused. We can show you how

Pyeongchang looks at the moment, a

lot has been said about how cold it

is there and we have our

correspondent Stephen McDonald there

looking at the geopolitical backdrop

happening at Pyeongchang, we have

had a significant meeting between

the leader of South Korea and the

sister of the leader of North Korea

yesterday and also the game is

getting under way and they will all

The government says it's

reviewing its relationship

with Oxfam, after claims the charity

covered up a scandal

involving its staff in Haiti.

The Defence Minister has suggested

two British members of a so-called

Islamic State cell known

as "The Beatles" should be tried

at The Hague.

Also coming up in the programme.

It's a scam that's tricked

we'll hear how fraudsters

are pretending to be the taxman.

Time to talk to Nick and find out

what is happening with the weather.

Some snow, some sleet, more cold

weather, it's winter. For some of

us, a little cold. A weekend of

changeable weather on the way. We

We look at whether

-- Now it's time for Click.

This week they're looking

into whether there could be a bump

This is how a self driving

cars sees the world.

Lidar sensors feed the car

with a continuous 360 degree

view of its surroundings, along

with crucial depth information.

It is the key technology

for a successful autonomous drive.

And this week in the US,

a mighty court case has

begun which may take

this key away from Uber,

stalling its progress

towards the self driving revolution.

It all revolves around this man,

Antony Lewandowski, who left

Google's autonomous spin-off Waymo

and joined Uber a couple

of years ago.

But, undeterred, Uber continues

to look to the future

of transportation, which in just

a few years might look very

different to the way it looks now.

Even self driving cabs

will get stuck in jams,

so this is Uber's vision.

When you're tight

for time, go by air.

It's ambitious and

so is the timescale.

Our goal is by 2020 to launch our

first demonstrator flights in Dallas

and LA to show that as a concept

this can work and then work to scale

by 2023 and 2025,

so we're providing commercial

flights to a lot of our riders,

giving them a new way to travel.

One of Uber's partners,

Bell helicopters, has showed off

its design for a four seater cabin,

which could include a pilot.

Here's their 360 view,

with the alternative

setup, four seats, four passengers.

The aircraft, like our cars,

would navigate automatically.

It's electric with a range

of about 60 miles, they say.

We've seen other designs

for air taxis of late,

including this Chinese firm Ehang's

184, which recently shuttled actual

people in this autopiloted drone.

And this air cab by German firm

Volocopter, which uses 18 rotors

and nine separate battery

packs, just in case.

While Nasa and the FAA are working

on new traffic control

systems for these types of craft

in the US, it's the FAA that

will have to be

convinced self piloting

electric air cabs are safe.

We will ask the applicants to come

forward with their engineering

proposals of what tests

will they propose to do

so that we can ensure that

if there's a fire or a short

or if something goes wrong

during a flight that they can safely

land and get away from that aircraft

before it does damage to the people

onboard, or on the ground,

for that matter.

So will it work?

Here is Uber's case study.

We've landed in LA, traffic

is a nightmare and a taxi would take

us 80 minutes, whereas

the air trip to the sky

port, plus a small transfer,

is less than half an hour and Uber

said it could end up costing

about the same amount.

OK, there are many reasons why

self-flying electric taxis sound

like a good idea, but when you're

saving less than one hour,

Uber's dream will need to

run smoothly to deliver.

Apologies, Mr Simmons,

very busy airspace right now.

It's blade to blade up there!

Unfortunately the weather's

closing in, Mr Simmons.

I'm not quite sure we're

going to get you in tonight.

Really sorry.

We're just cleaning out the cabin.

You're two kilos over, I'm afraid.

Lose the penguin?

Ah, we're just recharging your taxi

at the moment, Mr Simmons.

It will be a while.

At least that last one shouldn't be

too much of a problem.

Uber have teamed up with EV

specialists Charge Point

and are predicting

a four-minute juice up time.

That would be special!

Sorry, you're running 17.5 seconds

late and the pilots had to cancel.

Please do book again via the app.

But perhaps the most challenging

part of this project is to get us,

the public, comfortable

with the idea of taking

an air taxi.

When we think about consumer option

of new technologies,

this is not a problem that is novel

or unique to travel.

We saw this with elevators

when they first came out

and actually in order to get

consumers comfortable with it

an elevator operator

would remain in the elevator,

even when it was made electronic,

just to give consumers confidence.

We are going to be doing the same

with autonomous vehicles now,

as we have safety drivers staying

in the car, explaining

the technology to riders,

and the same will be

true with our pilots.

We will be launching

pilots who will serve not

only as the operators of the flight

but as an ambassador to get riders

comfortable with this

new mode of transport,

so soon enough they'll forget

about its novelty and be back

to texting and making other use

of their time while in transit.

Just like the Uber-Waymo court case

over who owns the specialist

tech that makes self-driving cars

work, the creation of the flying cab

will no doubt have its

own dogfight in court.

Perhaps that's another

reason why Uber's keen

to get in early.

Flying high isn't fun

for everyone, though.

Acrophobia, or fear of heights,

is one of the most common phobias,

but this virtual reality

therapy hopes to help.

Sweating again.

Chan here can confidently fly

a plane, but when it comes

to heights in general

it's a different story.

Oh, no...

Oh, no, I've got to move!

Come back, come back.

No, I can't do it.

Come back.

I can't move while I'm out there.

I couldn't go up a ladder.

Just couldn't go up a ladder.

I couldn't go over high bridges.

If I drove to Wales I would go

the long way, instead

of going over the bridge.

I just don't like open heights.

But I can jump on an aeroplane

and fly and aeroplane.

That's a completely different

environment, in my head

Oh, God!

So, how are you feeling?

Um...anxious, sweaty.

Nervous.

Even though you've been

through the process

of doing this before?

Yeah.

You still feel the same

level of anxiety, or is

it dramatically reduced?

I'm way more confident.

I've got much more confidence

than when I did it the first time.

I was on holiday with some friends.

They were going on the

rollercoasters and I talked

about this VR thing we were

doing and they said I should be

able to go on the ride.

So I watched my family

and friends go round a couple

more times and then thought,

well, I can do this.

If you look to your left,

you'll see a basket of light balls.

What I need you to do is throw

the light balls down

into the atrium.

I think VR can treat pretty much any

type of fear or phobia.

It might be a fear of a cat

or spiders or dogs.

What VR can enable you to do

is relearn that actually

you are safe in those

situations you fear.

The beauty of VR is in

fact that disconnect.

When you're there, you know you're

not really in that environment

and that enables you to do things

you wouldn't normally do

in the real world.

But all the scientific data shows

that learning you make in VR does

transfer into the real world.

In this programme you are going

to try a series of tasks.

Earlier this month it was announced

the UK's National Health Service has

invested this idea of using virtual

reality therapy to battle severe

mental health issues are by putting

sufferers in a virtual environment

they would struggle

within the real world.

This immersive approach,

plus the availability of virtual

therapists, could more readily

provide more therapy to more people

it was certainly an immersive

experience. We get how this could

work and take you to a certain

level. In this programme, you are

going to try a series of tasks.

At the heart of a lot of health

problems are difficulties

with interacting with the world

and with VR we can put

people back in the situations that

trouble them and coach them

in the best ways to think,

feel and behave in those situations.

We've got to test it and trial it

and make sure things work,

but the potential is enormous.

may use virtual reality. The

Hello.

This is Breakfast,

with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

Stayt.

The Government condemns

the "appalling abuse of vulnerable

people in Haiti" and says

the charity Oxfam has serious

questions to answer.

The Department for

International Development says

it is reviewing its work

with the organisation.

The charity denies

claims of a cover up.

Good morning, it's Saturday

the 10th of February.

Also this morning:

A government minister says

two captured members

of the British Islamic State cell,

nicknamed 'the Beatles' should be

considered for trial at the Hague.

Taking learning online: Why some

charities are calling for sex

education to be accessed

on computers instead

of in the classroom.

In sport, it's wipe-out

for the Brits on day one

of the Olympics.

All three of the medal hopes

in the snowboard slopestyle try

spectacular moves but

fail to make the final

That's Billy Morgan

falling on his final run.

And all eyes in terms of great

written's hopes are on Elise

Christie who goes on her first heat

in the speedskating later. I'll be

live with the latest.

And Nick has the weather.

Good morning.

It's the weekend so there

is another weather system

coming into the UK.

Rain at some stage

today for all of us.

The chance of snow,

especially later.

And after being less cold today,

tomorrow is much colder again.

I've got your full

forecast coming up.

First, our main story.

The government has condemned

the "appalling abuse of vulnerable

people in Haiti" and says Oxfam has

serious questions to answer over

claims the charity covered up

the use of prostitutes by some

of its staff.

Oxfam insists it publicised

the action it took against the aid

workers involved, some

of whom were fired.

However, the Times is reporting

several went on to work for other

charities, who were unaware

of their past behaviour.

Jessica Parker reports.

We need dreams. Without dreams we

get nothing.

An advert from the

charity giant Oxfam.

It got nearly £32 million

from the UK Department

for International Development

in the last financial year.

But amid the sexual exploitation

scandal, the government said

last night:

The allegations surround

the behaviour of aid workers

here in Haiti, following

the devastating earthquake in 2010.

A Times newspaper investigation

found inappropriate behaviour,

including the use of prostitutes.

The charity has denied a cover-up

and said it publicly announced

an enquiry into the claims in 2011.

It said the behaviour of some

of its staff had been totally

unacceptable, but that allegations

of underage girls may have been

involved were not proven.

Four staff members were dismissed

and three were allowed to resign

as part of the internal

investigation.

But today, the Times reports fresh

claims that Oxfam failed to warn

other aid agencies about the staff,

so allowing them to take other jobs

in the sector.

Do you actually know

where these people are?

I don't know!

Do you know that

they're not working?

I would not know because I've been

out of Oxfam for five years.

You would have to ask

somebody else that.

There is wide acknowledgement that

hundreds of Oxfam staff have done no

wrong, but the charity does now face

serious questions about its past

and what that means for its future.

Jessica Parker, BBC News.

The North Korean leader has invited

the South Korean president to meet

him at the first available time.

The meeting is seen as a direct

challenge to the Trump

administration, which had urged

caution rather than engagement

with the North.

The Defence Minister Tobias Ellwood

has suggested two members

of the so-called Islamic State group

who are from London should be tried

at the International

Criminal Court in The Hague.

The BBC understands that the two,

who were part of a unit thought

to have murdered 27 hostages,

have been stripped of their British

citizenship.

Our political correspondent

Chris Mason reports.

This is Tobias Ellwood.

He was called a hero after giving

first aid to PC Keith Palmer,

the policeman stabbed to death

in the Westminster terror

attack last year.

He also lost his brother

in a terrorist attack

in Bali in 2002.

Now, Mr Ellwood, a defence minister,

has intervened over what will happen

over these men - Alexanda Kotey

and El Shafee Elsheikh.

They were part of a gang suspected

of murdering Alan Henning,

a driver and aid worker from Eccles,

and David Haines, a long-time aide

worker from Perth.

In interviews with the Times

and the Daily Telegraph,

Tobias Ellwood demands what he calls

an agreed international process

for captured fighters.

Guantanamo Bay created a new

combatant status that I passed the

Geneva Convention, used to torture

and failed to address a wider global

jihadist insurgency that continues

today. He added:

Last month, President Trump said

he was keeping Guantanamo Bay open.

A decision is yet to be made

about what will happen

to Alexanda Kotey and

El Shafee Elsheikh.

Survivors of sexual abuse

in the Church of England are holding

a protest this morning at a meeting

of the General Synod,

as the church faces criticism over

how it deals with complaints.

It comes as fresh information has

been passed to police in the case

of a bishop accused 60 years

after his death of sexual abuse.

Here's our religion

editor Martin Bashir.

Scholar, priest and champion

of the oppressed.

George Bell served as Bishop

of Chichester for 30 years,

until his death in 1958.

But his reputation was tainted two

years ago when it was revealed

the Church had paid this woman

almost £17,000 following claims

she had been abused by him.

Friends of Bell demanded to know how

the Church came to believe

the complainant, and an independent

review led by the barrister

Lord Carlisle described the Church's

processes as "inadequate" and "too

willing to believe the accuser".

But while the church accepted

the report's recommendations,

the Archbishop of Canterbury,

Justin Welby, said a cloud was left

over the reputation of Bishop Bell.

His comments infuriated

supporters of the Bishop.

During his speech at the Church's

ruling synod yesterday,

the Archbishop made only

the briefest of references

to the issue of abuse.

Our approach to safeguarding

needs culture change.

At Church House later this morning,

a large gathering of survivors

will confront members

of General Synod as they arrive

for their final session.

The latest figures show

that the Church of England dealt

with more than 3,000 issues

of safeguarding during 2016,

with 18% involving clergy.

Martin Bashir, BBC News.

A second member of staff

at the White House has resigned over

allegations of domestic abuse.

The former wife of speech writer,

David Sorensen, claimed

he was violent and abusive

during their marriage,

something he denies.

Earlier, Donald Trump was criticised

for publicly praising another aide,

Rob Porter, who stepped down over

accusations of abuse made

by his two ex-wives.

A convicted killer who drove his car

over a woman as she tried

to stop him stealing her handbag has

gone on the run after he was freed

from prison on licence.

Mark Woolley was jailed for life

at the Old Bailey in 2001

for the murder of costume

designer Elizabeth Sherlock

and was released in November.

Scotland Yard says he was last seen

at a probation meeting

in East London ten days ago.

Gerry Adams, one of

the longest-serving party leaders

in the world, will step down

as president of Sinn Fein today.

After more than 34 years

in the post, he will be replaced

by Mary Lou McDonald at a specially

convened party conference in Dublin.

Our Ireland correspondent

Chris Page reports.

Mary Lou McDonald is set to be

the new leader of Irish

Republicanism.

Her party is the second-biggest

in Northern Ireland and the third

largest in the Republic of Ireland.

Sinn Fein wants to be in government

in Stormont and Dublin,

and it believes that will help

towards its ultimate goal

of Irish unity.

But for years, Republicans tried

to achieve that aim through bombs
