11/02/2018 Breakfast

Hello.

This is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson

and Naga Munchetty.

A warning that UK charities

could have their government funding

withdrawn if they don't

co-operate with authorities

over safeguarding issues.

It follows reports that some Oxfam

workers used prostitutes

in Haiti in 2010.

It's facing further

allegations this morning.

Good morning.

The damage caused by alcohol.

A new parliamentary report says more

than one-third of child deaths

and serious injuries through neglect

in England are linked

to parental drinking.

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

arrives in Myanmar to discuss

the plight of Rohingya refugees

with the de facto leader

Aung San Suu Kyi.

Good morning.

In sport.

It's a "May Day" For Wales.

England make it two wins out of two

with a hard-fought win over Wales

at Twickenham after two

dries from Johnny May.

Temperatures could be at a record

low for athletes in South Korea.

We'll hear how Team GB

are kitted out to cope.

But what about the temperatures

here? Nick has the weather.

But what about the temperatures

here? Nick has the weather. Good

morning. A much colder feel the

things today. Snow and hail in the

north and west of the UK. I have all

of your Sunday weather and a look at

the week to come. Thank you very

much, Nick.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Charities doing overseas aid work

will lose government funding

if they fail to ensure

that vulnerable people

are properly protected.

That warning came from International

Development Secretary Penny

Mordaunt.

She described the behaviour of some

of Oxfam's workers in Haiti,

who were accused of using

prostitutes in the aftermath

of the 2010 earthquake,

as "horrific."

The charity is also facing

new allegations about some

of its workers in Chad.

Andy Moore reports.

After Haiti, now, new allegations

about the behaviour of some Oxfam

workers in Chad in central Africa.

They date back to 2006 and also

involved prostitutes.

The head of mission in Chad

at the time was the same man

who resigned from Oxfam five years

later because of the scandal in

Haiti.

Oxfam said it was shocked

and dismayed about the latest

revelations from Chad.

It said it couldn't corroborate

the information but it highlighted

unacceptable behaviour

by a small number of people.

The International Development

Secretary, Penny Mordaunt,

has now sent a strong warning

to charities receiving EU money

that those funds will be withdrawn

unless they can prove

they are cooperating fully

on safeguarding issues.

She said this.

She called the behaviour by some

Oxfam workers in Haiti horrific

and said it was just one

example of a wider issue

on which her department

was already taking action.

The former Secretary of State

for International Trade is also

calling for tougher action.

This is now an opportunity

for everyone to make sure

that there are very clear,

not just guidelines,

but actions,

action, will be taken and money

will be withdrawn as well quite

frankly if there is

inappropriate behaviour.

Oxfam says that after Haiti,

it set up a dedicated safeguarding

team to deal with such issues.

The charity finds itself

at the centre of this particular

scandal that the British

government said is one example

of a wider problem.

Andy Moore, BBC News.

Time to speak to a political

correspondent. We heard some of

these allegations just now.

correspondent. We heard some of

these allegations just now.

This is

an extremely strong statement from

her. She speaks to a wider problem

that the department for

international development is dealing

with. She speaks in strong terms,

saying it is horrific sexual

exploitation and abuse continues to

exist in the aid sector of Britain.

Oxfam received £32 million of

funding from the government last

year. She says she will write to all

charities to get them to make sure

they are safeguarding practices, and

any issues must be flagged to the

relevant authorities. Any charities

that do not, they will cease to work

with the government any longer.

Oxfam sacked four workers and had

three resigned, but design denied

any cover-ups. -- denied. She does

not want confidence undermined.

Thank you very much. Our political

correspondent.

More than a third of child deaths

and serious injuries caused

by neglect in England are linked

to parents who drink too much

alcohol, according to

a new parliamentary report.

It also found that nearly

all councils have cut their budgets

for alcohol support services.

Our health correspondent,

Adina Campbell, has more.

A dad of six, Josh Conolly knows

first-hand about the damage alcohol

can have on a family. His father was

an alcoholic and died when he was

nine.

I remember one example, he

smashed all the windows and was

waiting a knife through the windows

and police came up and took them

away. -- waving. At the same time

you are trying to deal with it all,

you are trying to keep it a secret,

repressing it. You naturally get

unhealthy coping mechanisms.

The

impact of parents abusing alcohol in

England, outlined in a new

parliamentary report. Is found more

than a third of child deaths and

injuries were linked to parents

thinking alcohol. -- It found.

Alcohol was misused. And children

with alcohol dependent parents had

feelings of stigma, shame, and

guilt. The report also used data

from a Freedom of Information

investigation which found almost all

councils in England are cutting back

their budgets for this kind of care.

When we start to understand this, it

is all based on trauma. If we

understand that, we can begin to

break the cycles and prevent, you

know, addictions of the future.

The

government says work is under way on

a new children of alcoholics

strategy. That includes higher

duties to cheap alcohol. Josh has

turned his life around, but he

believes many children will end up

suffering in silence.

Campbell, BBC News.

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

has met the Myanmar leader

Aung San Suu Kyi for talks,

a day after saying Rohigya refugees

should be allowed a safe

and dignified return.

Nearly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have

crossed the border into neighbouring

Bangladesh, after a crackdown

by the Burmese military.

Reeta Chakrabarti is travelling

with the Foreign Secretary,

and sent this report.

It does contain some flash

photography.

There were smiles this morning as

Boris Johnson shook hands with Aung

San Suu Kyi in the capital, but the

plight of the Rohingya people will

be a difficult topic. Aung San Suu

Kyi suffered a spectacular fall from

grace after failing to safeguard the

Rohingya

grace after failing to safeguard the

Rohingya. Boris Johnson met some of

the refugees on a tour of one of the

camps in Bangladesh yesterday and

said international diplomacy needed

to focus on a safe and dignified

return to home.

We need to find a

solution in Myanmar from Burma

creating a safe and dignified return

for these people. That is what they

want. They want to go back, but they

do not feel safe.

He admitted that

right now that seemed a distant

prospect. Later today, Boris Johnson

will be taken by the Myanmar

military nay tour of Rakhine State

from where they fled, alleging

arson, rape, and murder. BBC News,

Myanmar.

Theresa May will deliver a major

speech within the next three weeks,

outlining the future relationship

Britain wants to have

with the EU after Brexit.

It is being seen as important

as her Florence speech,

which unlocked the first

stage of negotiations.

She'll outline what the Government

is seeking in relation to security,

trade and workers' rights.

Israeli military described the

airstrikes there and talk yesterday

as the biggest they have ever

undertaken -- they undertook.

The government is proposing that

energy companies be allowed to see

the personal data of some customers

at risk of being in fuel poverty.

The idea is part of a consultation

looking at how best to protect

people who could be struggling

to pay their bills.

Our business correspondent,

Joe Lynam, explains.

We all hate getting our energy

bills, but for some, it can push

them into real financial

difficulties, known as fuel poverty.

Now the government wants to find a

new way of automatically protecting

up to 2 million energy users by

letting the players know more about

them. It is launching a consultation

into something called data matching,

which could allow them to share

personal information with energy

supplies. But only with their

consent, and if users are getting

state benefits and are in financial

trouble. Then they could

automatically be put on a cheaper

safeguard tariff for their gas and

electricity. 4 million people are

already on the lower rate. The

energy watchdog, Ofgem, said it

could save £66 per year for each

person on that lower tax rate if

this plan proceeds. That could the

valuable as household energy bills

are rising. -- be.

Now, Valentine's Day might still be

a few days off, but love was in the

air at the cast and crew screening

of Idris Elba's new film, "Yardie."

Take a look at this. This is the

moment Idris went down on one knee

and proposed to his girlfriend,

Sabrina. Luckily, she said "Yes!"

The couple have reportedly been

dating since early 2017. No

pressure. Can you imagine doing that

in front of so many people!

in front of so many people!

You have

to be sure. There was the cast and

crew watching.

You have to be pretty

confident.

Good luck to them anyway.

Congratulations!

The main stories. British aid

agencies have been warned they could

lose funding amid claims of horrific

behaviour within the sector.

Over

one third of child deaths and

injuries through neglect in England

are links to alcohol abuse by their

parents according to a new

parliamentary report.

Also coming

up, up, up, and away, for the team

at Click. They are investigating the

future of flying taxis.

Here's Nick with a look

at this morning's weather.

Nic is not the man for a flying taxi

at all. Shall we? You laughed, we

heard you. Look at the scene behind

Hugh! Are never the man for

anything. You are always the man,

you are weak and weatherman and we

love you. Do you think we will be

seeing a lot of the scene behind

you? Some of us will wake up to it,

the Southern uplands of Scotland

where we saw snow overnight in in

the Pennines as well, more of that

to come over the next couple of days

and in fact it has turned colder

today and who will season snow

showers around as well. If an inland

to relatively low levels towards

northern and western parts of the

UK, some snow, compared with

yesterday Sampath, sunny spells

around so it is and gloom but it is

going to feel colder across the

around so it is and gloom but it is

going to feel colder across the UK

today compared with yesterday. What

has happened? On the satellite, one

area of cloud that brought

yesterday's weather is moving away

and this speckled cloud on the

Atlantic tells you it is colder air

coming in and there are showers

around. These lumps of white other

snow showers coming into

particularly this morning western

Scotland and Northern Ireland,

filtering through north-west

England, into Wales and the

south-west. Any of these will be of

snow and hail and some will drift

east during the days of the close --

the some of you at three AM, dry

weather across eastern Scotland but

even moving on through there but

accumulating snow particular for the

hills of Western Scotland, Northern

Ireland, into the western side of

the Pennines, the hills in Wales as

well and the odd winter the shower

of sleaze, mainly HAL, maybe some

wet snow moving into western parts

of England as well. Actually many

eastern areas will stay dry with

some sunshine. The temperatures down

compared with yesterday. Some got

into double figures then. Factoring

in the wind, it will feel colder

still. The entry into the hills of

Scotland, some drifting. Maybe not

feeling much above freezing.

Tonight, they will be at or below

freezing so widespread frost and icy

conditions where the wintry showers

continuing to the north-west.

Continuing tomorrow, particularly in

the western Scotland, adding to the

snow we already have up and icy

start. Through the day, few are

showers, a lot of fine weather

through southern and eastern parts

of the UK, so soak up the sunshine

because it will feel a little less

cold. Then another weather system

comes in. We will watch this closely

Monday night in the Tuesday, a

frontal system from the Atlantic.

Head of it, gale force winds

developing in the west. It isn't

just rain, snow as particularly into

Scotland where some will wake up to

a covering of snow on Tuesday to

parts of northern England as well.

But that's a week which will be

changeable, further with assistance

from the Atlantic with rain and snow

at times, some disruptive snow as we

have established, particularly on

Tuesday morning and it will often be

windy as well. Back to you. Do

Tuesday morning and it will often be

windy as well. Back to you. Do you

know of much as I moan about the

weather, it is a British pastime I

don't feel bad about it, it must be

interesting, weeks like this a more

interesting than saying OK, steady

temperatures, no wind, lovely

weather. It is difficult to keep it

interesting, isn't it? That is

right, we love this sort of weather,

changeable with a lot going on

because there is a lot of

information to get across but we

can't such fans of weather

presenters as high pressure when it

is quiet although a lot of people

appreciate a bit of high pressure

when we need a good few sunny days

and we haven't had many of those in

recent summers. If you could arrange

that for the week after next, that

would be great. Working on it! I

would take boring, unpredictable

weather anyway, wouldn't you? Yes! I

tell you, it is chilly in

Pyeongchang.

The Winter Olympics are always

going to be a chilly affair but this

year's games in Pyeongchang

are expected to be the coldest

in more than 20 years.

With temperatures plunging to around

minus 20 degrees Celsius,

the biting cold has left some

presenters struggling to talk

and others with make-up

freezing to their faces.

Radzi Chinyanganya has more.

First world problems still.

Pyeongchang is situated in the

mountains at 700 metres above sea

level which the locals claim is

perfect for healthy living. However,

alongside that is the weather. The

very, very cold weather.

You are as

cold as ice.

The Hyeon Chung area is

the coldest place in Korea --

Pyeongchang. Because it is a

mountainous area, the average

temperature in February is about -11

centigrade. It really is cold. In

fact, take a look at this. Now, I

know it is supposed to be cold, it

is the winter Olympics, but the

coldest on record was in 94 in

Lillehammer. But hey, Norwegian

thermometers reached as low as -11

degrees. So if temperatures stay

this low, could that affect the 2018

Winter Olympics?

We continue to ask

the operators at which temperature

is impossible to operate the game,

they say it is dependent on the

situation.

Which is largely

determined by the amount of time the

athlete spent outside in as freezing

climates because foreign Alpine race

it is less than two minutes on piste

but a cross-country skier, more like

two hours. Whatever the amount of

time, a crucial element is the kids

the Olympians wear to cope with the

frosty conditions. So with around 60

TNG athlete travelling here to

Pyeongchang, it is a lot of sports

and a lot of kit -- Team GB. Four

years ago we were walking around in

shorts and flip-flops in Sochi.

So

it is quite a shift, it is great to

be a part of a winter games in which

it is actually cold. Everybody got

110 items of kit, everyone gets

their own competition where and when

the race village where so we have a

goosedown puffer jacket, woolly

hats, scarf, gloves, hand warmers to

keep everyone toasty.

You actually

think the cold maybe helpful?

Are

working through the cross country,

the preparations they have done and

the work in the background getting

their skis right is ideal for they

are having a great bit of time out

on the track but for the guys on the

centre last night, they were feeling

good as well so we are in a great

shape, the cold weather is really

looking to benefit Team GB.

For the

first time ever I will hope it stays

cold?

Absolutely!

Love look behind

the scenes.

-- Love a look behind the scenes.

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 have Black Panther,

which opens on Tuesday.

We have Pad Man, based

on a true, inspiring story.

And 50 Shades Freed -

it all comes to an end.

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.

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 standalone 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 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 newly-wed young man

who doesn't understand

why his new bride spends five days

every month out of the house.

Then he is appalled why 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 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.

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.

The second one 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 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 cannot 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 see 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 crack

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.

An 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 marvel 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.

Hello.

This is Breakfast with Ben Thompson

and Naga Munchetty.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

Charities doing overseas aid work

More than a third of child deaths

and serious injuries caused

by neglect in England are linked

to parents who have a problem

with alcohol, according

to a new parliamentary report.

The study, which was commissioned

by a group of MPs, also found that

nearly all councils

in England have cut funding

to alcohol support services.

The Department of Health said

it was working to see what support

it could offer to families.

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

Nearly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have

crossed the border into neighbouring

Bangladesh, after a crackdown

by the Burmese military.

The Israeli military has described

the airstrikes it carried out

in Syria yesterday as probably

the biggest of their kind

in the last 30 years.

The attacks took place

after an Israeli military aircraft

was brought down.

A spokesman said 12 sites were hit,

including four Iranian targets.

it would be cold in Pyeongchang.

it is too cold for the winter

Olympics.

They go

Olympics.

They go out in that for

2-3 hours at a time. The events last

an hour and three minutes. This, the

combination of the 15k and the

classic, we'll get onto that in a

second. The women's slope

snowboarding has been cancelled.

They will have a straight final,

with everyone through. We were

joking about it downstairs. We heard

from our reporter. Apparently it was

all part of the contingency plan. It

was in place following discussions

at the captaincy meeting. It was

agreed by all representatives and

nations present. And now for the

offence overnight.

Day two of the Winter Olympics

is well under way now.

The overnight action has seen

the USA's Red Gerard take gold

in the men's slopestyle

snowboarding.

They were easily done and run by the

time the big wind came through.

Yesterday's action in South Korea

saw Britain's Elise Christie

start her speed skating campaign

with victory in the heats.

Joe Lynskey reports.

Things are rarely friendly in a

skate race. It is a fight from the

start. The instinct was impeccable.

When she got there, they would not

catch her. The winter sprinter from

Britain was off and running.

She is

through!

She has three medals in

sights this month, but so much can

go wrong. No one is invincible.

I am

so nervous. Perhaps I will not do

this, I thought. But I was excited.

She returns to go for medals on

Tuesday. It does not get any

friendlier from here. An easier path

for Amy Fuller of Britain. There was

too much wind for the snowboarding.

She goes

She goes straight to the final along

with everyone else. This is Red

Gerard of the USA, born in 2000. The

17-year-old was never meant to do

this. Norway and Canada will

dominate, but this gold was set for

Red Gerard.

He get first is above

me. I do not know what is going on.

Inspiration, perhaps, for the

outsiders. Attention, Andrew

Musgrave. He is not far off of the

best of the world. Months spent on

snow.

A big crash here stop some of the

medals hopes. Doing well so far. 15

kilometres of classic cross-country

did not know what that was. --

freestyle skiing. I had to look it

up, it is more controlled. You use

the edge of the ski to push along.

The shorter the length, more waxed,

the quicker...

You

the quicker...

You can get off and

out of the tracks and into the

mountain areas. We will see more...

Apparently they call it freestyle

because you are the cool kid.

I am

cool.

Wales coach, Warren Gatland, claims

the decision to disallow his side

a try in their 12-6

Six Nations defeat to England,

was a "terrible mistake."

England made it two wins out of two

with a 12-6 victory.

While Ireland kept up their perfect

start with a 56-19 win over Italy.

Our sports correspondent,

Joe Wilson, reports.

Don't be afraid to stand out in the

crowd at Twickenham. Most players

arrived in tracksuits, headphones to

drown out the distractions. Rhys was

playing for the first time. Cameras

everywhere. Two minutes played. A

high ball. Did not make it. Into the

hands of Owen Farrell, knowing where

he was kicking it. Jonny May did the

rest. His second try soon followed.

But watch Joe. Two Welsh players on

him but he got it away anyway. So,

how did Wales respond? A clever

kick.

kick. Confusion followed. The TV

official looking for control. "No,"

he said. Welsh penalties kept them

close. They needed a drive. This is

how close they came. The line was

there, along with Sam Underhill to

grab his men.

grab his men. 12-6 to England it

finished. England, two wins from

two, a perfect start to the Six

Nations. This game is exhausting and

enthralling. They will want a week

off. Ireland can reflect on three

tries conceded, but more positively

on the eighth they scored.

on the eighth they scored. Ireland,

Two wins from two, ending the

tournament at Twickenham, five weeks

away. Joe Wilson, BBC News.

England's women also made it two

wins out of two as they thrashed

Wales, 52-0.

Scotland, meanwhile,

were overpowered at home by France.

They went down 26-3.

Sergio Aguero scored four

second-half goals as Premier League

leaders Manchester City thrashed

Leicester 5-1 at the Etihad.

With the game at 1-1 at half-time,

the Argentine striker scored two

quick-fire goals after the break

and then took full advantage

of a Kasper Schmeichel

error for his hat-trick.

Aguero saved the best till last

though, this incredible strike

making it 5-1, a result that sees

City extend their lead at the top

to 16 points.

Celtic held a minute's silence ahead

of their Scottish Cup game

to remember their former player,

Liam Miller, who died on Friday

aged just 36.

The holders went on to beat

Partick Thistle, 3-2,

to reach the quarter-finals.

We will get an update on what is

happening with the weather soon.

We will have that soon. Good

morning.

Nearly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have

fled to neighbouring Bangladesh,

following a crackdown by the Burmese

military which began

in August last year.

Today, Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, shook hands

with the Myanmar leader,

Aung San Suu Kyi, in the capital,

Nay Pyi Taw, but the plight

of the Rohingya people will be

a difficult topic.

So, how significant is this meeting?

Justin Wintle is a commentator

on Southeast Asian Affairs and has

written a biography of Ms Suu Kyi.

Good morning.

Good morning.

For

those of us not familiar with Aung

San Suu Kyi and why she is so now

pivotal in what happens in terms of

recognising what is happening to the

Rohingya Muslims, tell us about her

background and why there is

disappointment and expectation

surrounding her.

I am not sure she

is pivotal. She should be, but she

is not. Everyone knows she was a

Nobel peace laureate and stood up

courageously to the Burmese military

when

when Myanmar was Burma and was under

house arrest for a long time and got

the Nobel Peace Prize. She was let

out from house arrest 5-6 years ago.

She won a quasi-democratic election.

She could not be President as she

was married to an Englishman, but

she became de facto Head of State.

Now, there has been a lot of talk

about the Rohingya Muslims, an

emerging ethnicity in western

Myanmar, bordering Bangladesh. These

people were persecuted for decades

and decades, and it's got very nasty

this time, and the great

this time, and the great majority of

Rohingya, about 700,000 of a

million, picked up and went to

Bangladesh.

That is what Boris

Johnson is now addressing.

That is

correct.

This meeting has happened,

the handshake has happened. As I

said in my introduction to you, what

progress should, could, will be

made, do you think?

I do not know

what progress can be made. Boris

Johnson talked about a political

solution, and he said he will push

for, well, he said he would push for

the return of the Rohingya to

Myanmar with guarantees of their

safety. Anyone who thinks the

Burmese army, who control the

country still effectively, can

guarantee their safety, is barking

mad. The real aim should be a

humanitarian solution. And I think

that that would involve a

comprehensive resettlement of the

ranger elsewhere in a sensible,

humane way so that their communities

are kept in peace. But if they are

forced back if they have to go back

because the

because the international, you know,

community wants to sort of make a

point with the Myanmar government,

the same thing will happen again and

it will be horrible.

It is a sad

affair.

Here's Nick with a look

at this morning's weather.

at this morning's weather.

If he had a drab

If he had a drab Saturday it is a

showers and a cold north-westerly

wind blowing across the UK. Some of

us will wake up the snow after some

across Scotland last night, heavy

four a time. Speckled cloud on the

satellite indicates showers coming

in. They are coming from the west,

so western parts of the UK will see

most of these. Sundry Madaya going

to drift further east and a lot of

these showers even away from hills

will be falling snow or hail but

particularly in the hills of western

Scotland, Northern Ireland in the

north-west England we will see some

settling snow and the wind may be

drifting in the hills of western

Scotland we are creatures will be

barely above freezing -- where

temperatures. Eastern Scotland, this

is the picture at 3pm down the

eastern side of England but also

here, one or two showers drifting

through. Which snow or hail or sleet

coming through. What is certainly a

much colder feeling day compared to

yesterday, especially with the wind.

More like around two or three

degrees from Northern Ireland and

Scotland. Even into the hills,

closer to freezing. 87 across

southern England but not really

double figures for anyone. A feed of

the snow showers coming in towards

the western parts in particular,

adding to the snow we have on the

ground, especially in the hills, and

turning icy again with a widespread

frost going into Monday morning. You

know there is a cold filter things

on Monday morning, showers around

particularly in the western Scotland

but few elsewhere, warned the way a

fun trying. The wind still do more

to the south-westerly later in the

day so temperatures are going to be

quite as low -- are not going to be

quite as low. The system in the

Atlantic is coming Monday into

Tuesday to let look at that. Frontal

system, it tells the head of it in

the western coast is, and with it,

rain and snow. We could well see

some significant snow falling into

Scotland, especially in the hills

but not just, many in Scotland

waking to a covering of snow on

Tuesday morning and some parts of

northern England as well. Rain and

snow at times in the week ahead,

some of it disruptive. It will often

be windy with gales and places too.

Nick, thank you. It is just before

6:50 AM. It is time for click.

This is how a self-driving

car 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.

This week, in the US,

a mighty court case got under way

as Google's autonomous

car spin-off company

Waymo and Uber locked horns

in a battle that could have seen

Uber's self-driving

taxi plans stall.

What was expected to be a three-week

battle over who had access

to the secret keys that make

autonomous cars work was suddenly

ended on Friday, as the two sides

agreed to stop locking horns

and work together.

An out-of-court settlement seems

to have sealed the deal.

With that possible roadblock

removed, Uber's plans to taxi us

around without a driver

are a step closer, and they're

not stopping there.

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.

Dan Simmons has been looking up.

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 time scale.

Our goals is by 2022

to launch our first demonstrator

flights in Dallas and Los Angeles,

to show that as a proof of concept

that 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 shown

off its design for a four-seater

cabin, which could include a pilot.

Here's their 360-view

with the alternative set up -

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 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 motors

and nine separate battery

packs - just in case.

While NASA and the FAA are working

on new air traffic control systems

for this type of craft

in the United States,

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 engineering proposals

and what tests they propose to do,

so that we can assure that

if there's a fire or a short

or if something goes wrong

during a flight, that somebody can

safely land and get away from that

aircraft before it does damage

to people on the aircraft,

or on the ground, for that matter.

So, will it work?

Here's Uber's case study.

We've landed in LA, traffic's

a nightmare and a taxi would take us

80 minutes.

Whereas the air trip

to the sky port,

plus a short transfer,

is less than half an hour.

And Uber says it could end up

costing about the same amount.

OK, there are many reasons why

self-flying 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.

BLEEP.

Unfortunately, the weather's

closing in, Mr Simmons.

We're not quite sure we're

going to be able to get

you in tonight.

BLEEP.

Really sorry, we're just

cleaning out the cabin.

BLEEP.

You're two kilograms

over, I'm afraid.

Might want to lose the penguin?

BLEEP.

Ah!

We're just recharging your taxi

at the moment, Mr Simmons,

it'll 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

charge up time.

Now, that would be special.

Sorry, you're running 17.5 seconds

late and the pilot's 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

adoption of new technologies,

this is not a problem that's novel

or unique to air 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 after it was made electronic,

just to give consumers comfort.

We're going to be doing the same

with the autonomous vehicles right

now as we have safety

drivers staying in the car,

explaining this sort

of technology to riders,

and the same will be

true with our pilots.

We will be launching

with 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 get back

to their texting and making other

use of their time during 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.

Ooh!

Hello, world.

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, I've gotta move.

Oh, I can't do it.

Come back.

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

I need to be back here to do that.

I couldn't go up the ladder.

I just couldn't go up the ladder.

I couldn't go over high bridges.

If I drove to Wales,

I went round the long way as opposed

to going over the bridge.

I just don't like open heights

but I can jump in an aeroplane

and fly an aeroplane -

that's a completely different

environment.

In my head it is,

at least, for sure.

Welcome back.

Oh, God, it is dark.

Oh, it's dark.

How are you feeling?

Anxious, sweaty, nervous.

Even though you've been to

the process of doing this before...

Yeah.

..you still feel the same level

of anxiety doing that now,

Or would you say it's

dramatically reduced?

I'm way more confident.

I've got much more confidence

in doing it now than I did

the first time round.

Having taken part in this trial,

using VR to recreate the sensation

of being high up and dealing

with that, he feels to some extent

that he's overcome his phobia.

I was on holiday with some

friends, they were going

on the roller-coasters.

I talked about this VR thing

that we were doing and they said

"Well, then, you should be able

to come on the ride."

So I watched my family

and my friends go round a couple

more times and then just 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,

so it might be, for example,

a fear of a cat or a spider or dogs.

What VR can enable you to do

is relearn that actually

you are safe in the

situations you fear.

The beauty of VR is,

in fact, that disconnect.

When you're there, you know

actually 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

says that the learning that you make

in VR does transfer

into the real world.

So that's the potential,

it makes people much more willing

So that's the real potential in VR.

It makes people much more willing

to try things and to

actually engage in therapy.

Although I am slightly

terrified of roller-coasters,

I don't actually suffer

from a fear of heights,

but naturally,

I wanted to have a go.

OK, I did just suddenly get that

funny kind of tingy feeling

at my feet.

I hope I don't drop the cat.

But it was certainly

an immersive VR experience.

I believed at some points

I was looking down over a building.

I get how this could work and take

you to a certain level that

you could then do certain

things in the real world.

The concept here goes

further, though.

In this programme, you're

going to try a series of tasks.

Earlier this month,

it was announced that the UK's

National Health Service is invested

in this idea of using virtual

reality therapy to battle severe

mental health issues,

by putting sufferers in a virtual

environment they would struggle

with in the real world.

This immersive approach,

plus the availability of virtual

therapists, could more readily

provide more therapy to more people,

at a lower cost.

At the heart of all mental health

problems are difficulties

interacting in 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 have got to test it,

we have got to trial and make sure

that things work, but

the potential is enormous.

That was Lara looking at how doctors

may soon be veering away

from traditional therapies

and prescribing a good dose

of virtual reality.

That's it for the short

cut of Click this week.

for you right now on iPlayer,

Hello.

This is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson

and Naga Munchetty.

A warning that UK charities

could have their government funding

withdrawn if they don't

co-operate with authorities

over safeguarding issues.

It follows reports that some Oxfam

workers used prostitutes

in Haiti in 2010.

It's facing further

allegations this morning.

Good morning.

The damage caused by alcohol.

A new parliamentary report says more

than one-third of child deaths

and serious injuries through neglect

in England are linked

to parental drinking.

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

arrives in Myanmar to discuss

the plight of Rohingya refugees

with the de facto leader

Aung San Suu Kyi.

Good morning.

In sport.

It's a "May Day" For Wales.

England make it two wins out of two

with a hard-fought win over Wales

at Twickenham after two

dries from Johnny May.

Temperatures could be at a record

low for athletes in South Korea.

We'll hear how Team GB

are kitted out to cope.

But what about the

temperatures here?

Nick has the weather.

Good morning. A much colder feel to

things today. Icy in places.

Snow and hail

in the north and west of the UK.

I have all of your Sunday weather

and a look at the week to come.

Thank you very much, Nick.

Good morning.

Charities doing overseas aid work

will lose government funding

if they fail to ensure

that vulnerable people

are properly protected.

That warning came from International

Development Secretary Penny

Mordaunt.

She described the behaviour of some

of Oxfam's workers in Haiti,

who were accused of using

prostitutes in the aftermath

of the 2010 earthquake,

as "horrific."

The charity is also facing

new allegations about some

of its workers in Chad.

Andy Moore reports.

After Haiti, now, new allegations

about the behaviour of some Oxfam

workers in Chad in central Africa.

They date back to 2006 and also

involve prostitutes.

The head of mission in Chad

at the time was the same man

who resigned from Oxfam five years

later because of the scandal in

Haiti.

Oxfam said it was shocked

and dismayed about the latest

revelations from Chad.

It said it couldn't corroborate

the information but it highlighted

unacceptable behaviour

by a small number of people.

The International Development

Secretary, Penny Mordaunt,

has now sent a strong warning

to charities receiving EU money

that those funds will be withdrawn

unless they can prove

they are cooperating fully

on safeguarding issues.

She said this.

She called the behaviour by some

Oxfam workers in Haiti "Horrific,"

and said it was just one

example of a wider issue

on which her department

was already taking action.

The former Secretary of State

for International Trade is also

calling for tougher action.

This is now an opportunity

for everyone to make sure

that there are very clear,

not just guidelines,

but actions, action,

will be taken and money will be

withdrawn as well quite frankly

if there is inappropriate behaviour.

Oxfam says that after Haiti,

it set up a dedicated safeguarding

team to deal with such issues.

The charity finds itself

at the centre of this particular

scandal that the British

government said is one example

of a wider problem.

Andy Moore, BBC News.

Let's speak now to our political

correspondent, Emma Vardy who's

in our London newsroom.

Emma, how significant

are these warnings?

What is most significant here is

that it shows concerns over the

behaviour of aid workers overseas is

not just limited to this scandal

over Oxfam. Penny Mordaunt said it

is despicable this exists in the aid

sector. Charities around the country

will receive these letters asking

them to ensure safeguarding, and to

make sure any issues are flagged to

the relevant authorities. It could

not be much clearer. Anyone that

does not stick to the letter of the

law will not get government funding.

Oxfam got £32 million of government

money last year. The swift action

pending boarded is taking shows she

knows the potential this has to

undermine public confidence in the

way foreign aid money is spent. --

More than a third of child deaths

and serious injuries caused

by neglect in England are linked

to parents who drink too much

alcohol, according to

a new parliamentary report.

It also found that nearly

all councils have cut their budgets

for alcohol support services.

Our health correspondent,

Adina Campbell, has more.

Dad of six, Josh Conolly,

knows first-hand about the damage

alcohol can have on a family.

His father was an alcoholic

and died when he was nine.

I remember one particular instant

he smashed all the windows

by the door and was waving a knife

through one of the windows

and police came up

and took him away.

At the same time you are trying

to deal with it all,

you are also trying to keep it

a secret, and so it's

about repressing it.

You naturally get an unhealthy

coping mechanism.

The impacts of parents abusing

alcohol in England are outlined

in a new parliamentary report.

It found more than a third of child

deaths and injuries through neglect

were linked to parents

thinking alcohol.

While nearly two thirds of all care

applications involved misuse

of alcohol or drugs.

And children with alcohol-dependent

parents had feelings of stigma,

shame, and guilt.

The report also used data

from a Freedom of Information

investigation which found almost

all councils in England are cutting

back their budgets

for this kind of care.

When we start to understand that

addiction and alcoholism

is all based on trauma,

it's all based on some kind

of trauma, if we understand that,

we can begin to break the cycles

and prevent, you know,

addictions of the future.

The government says work is under

way on a new Children

of Alcoholics Strategy in addition

to new higher duties

to target cheap alcohol.

Josh has turned his life around,

but he believes there are many

children who will end up

suffering in silence.

Adina Campbell, BBC News.

The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson

has met the Myanmar leader

Aung San Suu Kyi for talks,

a day after saying Rohigya refugees

should be allowed a safe

and dignified return.

Nearly 700,000 Rohingya Muslims have

crossed the border into neighbouring

Bangladesh, after a crackdown

by the Burmese military.

Reeta Chakrabarti is travelling

with the Foreign Secretary,

and sent this report.

There were smiles this morning

as Boris Johnson shook hands

with Aung San Suu Kyi

in the capital, Naypyidaw,

but the plight of the Rohingya

people will be a difficult topic.

The Burmese leaders has suffered

a spectacular fall from grace

in international public opinion

after failing to defend the rights

of the Rohingya.

Boris Johnson met some

of the refugees on a tour of one

of the camps in Bangladesh

yesterday, and said that

international diplomacy needed

to focus on a safe and dignified

return to home for them.

It's about finding a political

solution, finding an answer

in Myanmar from Burma,

creating the conditions for a safe,

dignified return for these people.

That's what they want.

They do want to go back,

but they don't feel safe.

But he admitted that right now that

seemed like a distant prospect.

Later today, Mr Johnson will be

taken by the Myanmar military

on a tour of the Rakhine State

from where the refugees fled,

alleging arson, looting, rape,

and murder by soldiers

and Buddhist mobs.

Reeta Chakrabati, BBC News,

Naypyidaw, in Myanmar.

The Israeli military has described

the airstrikes it carried out

in Syria yesterday as probably

the biggest of their kind

in the last 30 years.

The attacks took place

after an Israeli military aircraft

was brought down.

A spokesman said 12 sites were hit,

including four Iranian targets.

The government is proposing that

energy companies be allowed to see

the personal data of some customers

at risk of being in fuel poverty.

The idea is part of a consultation

looking at how best to protect

people who could be struggling

to pay their bills.

Our business correspondent,

Joe Lynam, explains.

We all hate getting our energy

bills, but for some,

it can push them into real

financial difficulties,

known as "fuel poverty."

Now the government wants to find

a new way of automatically

protecting up to 2 million energy

users by letting suppliers know

a lot more about them.

It's launching a consultation

into something called "data

matching,"

which could allow local authorities

to share personal information

with energy suppliers.

But only with their consent,

and if users are getting state

benefits and are in

financial trouble.

Then they could automatically be

placed on a cheaper safeguard tariff

for their gas and electricity.
