24/02/2018 Breakfast

Hello.

This is Breakfast,

with Rachel Burden and Jon Kay.

Jumping into the record books.

Medal number five seals Team

GB's most successful

Winter Olympics ever.

Billy Morgan bagged bronze

in the Big Air snowboard event

with a series of spectacular tricks.

And Great Britain could win

medal number six today.

The women's curling team play Japan

for the bronze medal

later this morning.

Good morning.

It's Saturday the 24th of February.

Also this morning:

Taking a stand.

Big companies cut ties

with America's powerful gun lobby

the National Rifle Association

after last week's mass shooting

at a Florida school.

Fresh revelations of

misconduct by aid workers.

UK charity, Plan International,

admits to six cases of sexual abuse

and exploitation of children

by its staff and associates.

A cold-weather alert as Britain

braces itself for an arctic blast

from Russia dubbed

"The Beast from the East."

Philip will tell us more. Good

morning. Dry and bright and sunny

this weekend for all of the British

Isles. A bit chilly. Next week,

things get much more cold. We could

see a real return of winter. I will

have more information in just 15

minutes.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Team GB is celebrating its best

ever winter Olympics,

after Billy Morgan won bronze

in the men's snowboard big air.

The medal is Team GB's

fifth in Pyeongchang,

taking them past the four

won in 1924 and 2014.

The Women's Curling team faces Japan

in a bronze medal match

later this morning.

At the age of 28, Morgan

was the oldest snowboarder competing

in the final, and fell on his first

jump, but came back with two good

runs to finish less

than one point from silver.

We will speak to David Ornstein.

He is in Pyeongchang.

Spirits must be high.

Fabulous news

for Great Britain to wake up to.

Billy Morgan, doing well in the big

air. For those who have not seen it,

it is a sight to behold. One big

jump and multiple spins in the air.

Billy Morgan got a jump to get a

bronze medal performance no one had

managed before. It takes Great

Britain to the record of five medals

in the winter Olympics and hit the

minimum target of five medals at

these Games. That doubled the

funding, justifying the investment.

You can also look at the medal table

and see Great Britain in 18th,

compared to Norway at the top with

14 medals. Take nothing away from

the performance of Billy Morgan. He

is the oldest in the field, the

oldest by three years. Some of his

superior rivals on paper slipped by

the wayside. Billy Morgan fell in

all four of his tractors runs and

his first competition run, but then

he pulled off two magnificent

efforts to take that bronze medal.

He could get even better for Britain

later with a possible bronze coming

up in the curling.

You make him

sound ancient. He is only 28! I feel

ancient now.

And we'll be speaking to the man

himself from Pyeongchang

just after 8:30.

That is Billy Morgan. I am looking

forward to it.

A number of US companies have cut

ties with the National Rifle

Association as consumers call

for a boycott of firms linked

to the powerful gun lobby.

They include the car

rental companies, Hertz

and Enterprise Holdings,

both of which have stopped offering

discounts for members

of the Association, in the wake

of the Florida school shooting.

Our North America correspondent,

Peter Bowes, reports.

The aftermath to a school shooting

which could prompt change in

America. And it is the grieving that

has meant the mood is different this

time. The gunman killed 17 people,

and anger overflowed into the

streets.

Never again.

On social

media, pressure is being exerted on

the hugely powerful gun lobby under

the hashtag boycott NRA. They are

targeting firms that offer benefits

to members of the NRA. That includes

some of the most familiar corporate

names, Hertz and Enterprise, for

example. And they are ending

discounts for members of the NRA.

MetLife and Symantec as well. No

word in response from the NRA. It is

unclear if this will hurt an

organisation which boasts 5 million

members. During the week, the Chief

Executive hit out at protesters.

Their goal is to eliminate the

Second Amendment to eradicate all

individual freedoms.

Donald Trump

says he is open to new ideas, but

the one he seems to like best is

giving guns to teachers.

It is

concealed! So, this crazy man who

walked in would not even know who

has had. That is good. That is not

bad, it's good. And the teacher

would have shot the hell out of him

before he knew what happened to bite

the debate over what to do next will

be highly charged and intensely

political. Peter Bowes, BBC News. --

happened.

One of the UK's biggest children's

aid charities has confirmed

there have been six cases of child

sexual abuse by staff and volunteers

in the last two years.

Plan International says five of them

were criminal cases and reported

to the local authorities

in the countries involved.

Adina Campbell reports.

Another charity mired in sexual

misconduct making the front pages.

This time, Plan International UK,

which works in more than 50

countries to improve children's

rights and promote equality for

girls.

In its latest on line blog,

it's confirmed six cases of sexual

abuse and exploitation of children

between July, 2016, and June, last

year to be one involved a member of

staff. -- year. The others were by

volunteers or associates. Plan

International says the staff member

was not from the UK and was

dismissed without a reference, and

ended the contracts with the other

volunteers and organisations

involved. The charity also says

there were nine cases of sexual

misconduct and harassment by staff

against other adults which led to

seven dismissals. In the past, Plan

International UK has received

millions of pounds of funding from

the government. It is the latest

major charity to admit cases of

sexual misconduct, and follows

investigations into aid

organisations, including Oxfam and

Save the Children. In an open

letter, the three charities, and

many others, has now promised a

series of urgent and immediate

measures to protect the vulnerable.

Adina Campbell, BBC News.

A vote at the UN Security Council

resolution calling for

a humanitarian ceasefire

in Syria has been postponed

until later today.

There's been deadlock since Thursday

because of objections from Russia.

Syrian government forces have

continued their bombardment

of Eastern Ghouta, a rebel held

enclave outside Damascus,

where nearly 500 people have been

killed in the past week.

A former senior adviser

to Donald Trump has admitted charges

of conspiracy and lying

to investigators, who are examining

Russian political interference

in the 2016 Presidential Election.

In a plea deal, Rick Gates admitted

conspiracy to defraud the government

and making false statements.

He's become the third associate

of the president to agree

to co-operate with a special

investigation in return for more

serious charges against

him being dropped.

European Council president, Donald

Tusk says he will be presenting

draft guidelines in the future EU

relationship with the UK next month.

Whether Britain is ready or not.

Speaking at a meeting of the other

27 EU leaders, Donald Tusk, who is

meeting Theresa May on Thursday in

London, said the UK is still trying

to cherry pick its future

relationship with the EU.

If the media reports are correct, I

am afraid that the UK position today

is based on pure illusion. It looks

like the cake theory is still alive.

From the very start it has been a

key principle of the EU 27 that

there can be no cherry picking and

no single market a la carte.

Donald Tusk speaking last night.

Britain is set for its coldest

February week in five years,

as freezing air, dubbed

The Beast from The East,

arrives from Russia.

The cold snap will affect the whole

of the UK from Sunday night,

with temperatures expected to drop

to -8 in some areas.

Simon Jones reports.

The gritters are gearing up as

Britain braces itself. The so-called

Beast from The East is sweeping in

from Siberia. A level three cold

weather alert has been issued for

the whole of the country, the second

most serious level. That means there

is a 99% chance of severe weather,

icy conditions, and snow, before now

and Thursday. There are additional

yellow severe warnings for snow

covering most of eastern Britain,

causing travel problems and power

cuts. It is not the first snow this

winter, but what makes a different

is it will affect all of the UK.

Temperatures could fall as low as

-8, but it will feel worse because

of the wind. It will push the NHS

even further. Councils are providing

extra emergency beds for Rush --

rough sleepers.

The main aim is to

get people off the street and stop

them from dying in the cold weather.

And to date we have been very

successful.

Next Thursday is the

start of spring, but that appears to

be on hold as winter continues..

Simon Jones, BBC News.

It is cold. I want a cardigan and

some tea.

some tea.

Enjoy today because it

gets much colder. It was beautiful

yesterday. Crisp and clear, though

cold.

This is a story about Max's Law, an

opt-out system. You would have to

opt out of donating organs to get

off of the register. We spoke to him

yesterday. So bright and articulate.

The inspiration behind it, along

with many others. It has passed its

second meeting in the House of

Commons. Jeremy Corbyn is trying to

shut down that speculation about his

past possible relationship with the

Czech Republic, checker Slovakia.

The Daily Telegraph as a story from

a former MI6 chief, saying he still

has questions to answer over his

problems with a spy in the 1980s.

Stephen Fry is on the front page of

The Sun talking about how it was

only when he was going through a

routine check up getting a flu jab

it was discovered he had an

aggressive tumour which was

eventually treated. He says it saved

his life. A routine checkup. Not

expecting anything else. Doctors

found something they did not like

and thankfully they acted in time.

The Daily Mail. Top doctors have won

a fight to keep what it is calling

unfair bonuses of

unfair bonuses of £77,000. It is an

award for good work. And there was

an on line blog ten years ago, a

secret, anonymous account, life as

an actress in Hollywood, trials and

tribulations, and some difficulties

faced. Some say it was written by

Meghan Markle, a secret diary

revealed by The Mail.

It is 13

minutes past.

The main stories this morning:

A series of big companies cut ties

with America's powerful gun lobby,

the National Rifle Association

after last week's mass shooting

at a Florida school.

A fifth medal seals the record

for Team GB's most successful winter

Olympics ever.

A brilliant performance by Billy

Morgan. We know that the cold is on

its

Morgan. We know that the cold is on

its way, Philip, what is going on? A

feeling redundant, all of this

weather is piling towards the

British Isles and you have said all

already, you are off to find your

thermals, John is off to find a

cardigan. More fashion tips from

John later in the program, I fear!

Will tap eventually from the cold

air that is licking its way in the

north-western corner of Russia which

will come around the isobars and

bump its way into the British Isles.

It has not come yet because we are

setting things up. We have got some

of the south-easterly flow in place,

it is keeping the Atlantic fronts at

bay, it is the western isles of

Scotland may be northern Ireland who

will see the veil of cloud but

otherwise a decent day and not

overly cold. I know which is -4 in

with Sussex but you have not seen

anything yet. This is the way we

shape up this evening, another dry

night, some cloud migrating down

towards the eastern shores of the

British Isles. But in inland areas,

and other widespread dip in the

temperatures, anywhere between two

and -4, -5, -6, and then we're off

and running in the Sunday which if

you have outdoor plants provided you

have enough layers will be another

sparkling day. Again, the

temperature is still at this stage

holding up, thought of, three, four,

five, six. Some in the west may be

seven or eight. Monday, the first

signs because look at this, the

white is drifting in, these great

clusters, this is the first sign of

snow showers migrating their way

towards the British Isles and the

notice at this stage these are the

daytime maximum temperatures, zero

in Norwich, and when you add in the

strength of the wind and by this

stage it really will be about it

stronger, it will be cutting through

you because look at this, one must

fall, -5, -6, because there is no

opportunity for the cold air from

Siberia to warm up across the

relatively warm North Sea. There is

a short gap here between us and the

continent and as a consequence, we

get every bit of it. If you have

more in the way I see around you you

do not get the full effect of all of

the cold air coming towards us. As I

say, the pattern that you will be

Richard knifing for a good part of

next week is a big area of high

pressure keeping quite a bit of

settled area for Western areas but

coming along is this flow of cold,

cold north-easterly and east of the

wind, a lot of snow showers and it

is from about Monday onwards,

Tuesday into Wednesday were we will

really begin to ramp up the threat

of very wintry weather and

potentially some disruptive snow.

Enough of me. Back to

potentially some disruptive snow.

Enough of me. Back to you. To be

fair, it is never back to you but I

do not know if it is the new weather

graphics but there is so much blue

there which is slightly worrying.

What worries me is the source region

for our cold air is there, the

darkest of the Blues, this is about

-15, -20 or so gradually slumping

its way, modified of course, but

nobody's thermometer next week will

read -15 but given the strength of

the wind and the fact we are down at

minus a bit, that is the combination

and adding in the snow, that is why

we have a public health warning. You

will not be mocking my cardigan come

Wednesday! You will be wanting to

borrow it! See you later.

We'll be back with

the headlines at 6:30.

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, Mark Kermode

is back and what have you been

watching?

Finding your feet because

the British calamity, I hate that

word, drama comedy. We have I, Tonya

with an astonished at four

astonishing Margot Robbie who

produces. And Dark River, the new

film by Clive.

Finding your feet,

even the poster looks like a

quintessential British gathering.

I'm not sure the poster does a lot

of favours, it is aimed at the same

audience who made this exotic Moura

got hotel a huge hit, the story

begins with Lady Sandra Abbott on

the eve of her retirement, she has

all planned, she has a posh life,

and she discovers her husband has

been having an affair. This is a

clip.

I went to what the hell is going on?

It is not what it looks like,

Sandra. Sandra. Sandra. Sandra!

Sandra! Waite! How long has it been

going on? Sive Speelman to Sorrento.

But is nearly five years ago. I have

had enough of this hide and seek.

How could you do this to me? We even

took you to the palace!

I didn't

mean to this to happen, Sandra.

Really? You knew precisely what you

were doing. Come down, remember

where you are. I know exactly where

I am! In my own home! I spent my

whole bar is like putting you and

your career first what got me

through was knowing when you retired

to which our golden years together

but instead, you have treated me in

for a newer model. And let me tell

you, she has had more than one pre-

user. And her body work is mainly

filler!

You laughed at least twice.

Exactly! Because it is funny. So she

walks up and goes to stay with her

sister with who she is chalk and

cheese and her sister basically

tells her the life you have been

living is artificial and you need to

learn to enjoy yourself. She goes

swimming, does poetry, takes dance

lessons where she mixed Blee and a

character called Charlie and hence

finding your feet and you know from

the outset what is going to happen

is the character will soften and

discover there is more to life than

material possessions. You know from

the outset that when she first meets

Charlie she will warm to him, you

also know that amongst the comedy

there is going to be tragedy, tears,

so the question is how well does it

all play out? I have to say rather

better than I expect that, I thought

it was charming and funny not least

because of the great cast, they are

throwing themselves into it, and

having a very good time, it is well

to read it, and yes, no cliche goes

unturned but funnily enough it is a

certain structural debt

connectivity, and in fact it would

have made more sense to police this

in the run-up to Christmas because

there is a Christmas Day --

nativity. Over all and despite your

reservations about the poster which

I understand I thought it was funny,

charming, performances and my heart

went without enough that when we had

kept going hang on! Hang on! My head

went let it be.

And I enjoyed it. I,

Tonya.

You have seen it as well? It

is a good watch. Margot Robbie stars

as Tonya Harding. She has been

nominated for all wards. Essentially

the film takes the structure of

telling contradictory stories, it

says based on the totally true and

utterly contradictory testimonies of

central characters narrative we see

each of the central characters

talking to the audience either

through attend interviews or

wrecking the fourth wall by turning

towards the audience and saying this

didn't happen. Essentially, it is a

story of somebody who was come

through an abusive background, she

was beaten by her husband, attacked

by her mother although the Allison

Janney is the mother and she says

for heavens sake, show me a family

that don't have their ups and downs,

and it manages to balance, in my

opinion, the serious subject matter

of domestic abuse which is it about

being a film which is playing with

post-modern conventions in a way

that it reminded me of 24 hour party

people in which characters would

turn up and sake this didn't happen!

It is a film about a story being

told from lots of perfect this and a

brilliant central performance and I

know...

I found a hugely watchable

and the story is fascinating. It was

the thing of turning the camera and

being very tricky about something

precisely at the moment when they

are talking about domestic abuse, he

has punched her, he marries her, the

first man who comes along and he

beat the upper years and

unfortunately it is on subject

comedy.

Her mother says you think

you deserve to be beaten and she's

as I would never be with a man who

has beat me and she says you beat up

our dad and she says that is

different, and one moment Tonya's

has a shotgun and says absolutely

never and I think the tripe is it

does deal with the serious issue

while also being entertaining and

funny. Essentially giving you a

kaleidoscopic portrait and saying

you decide. I think everyone

watching it would come up with the

same opinion, she is a survivor.

Whatever else you think, she is a

survivor.

And Allison Janney is a

genius.

She eats the role from

Breakfast. It is fantastic.

The

shape of water, wonderful.

Dark

River.

I am jumping ahead, sorry!

Easy to confuse. Another film

dealing with abuse, this man-made

selfish giant which I love and Ruth

Wilson plays a character returns to

the farm on which he grew up, away

from 15 years, her father is abusive

and has died and she comes back

which she feels she has the right to

take on the tenancy of, rather

however if there and disagrees. This

is a clip.

is a clip.

Really, it is too late

now. He's gone.

now. He's gone.

Crosstalk. I broke

her leg, she needs...

You do to get

over there then.

I haven't seen you for 15 years.

You...

You...

I will wait with her. Can you

call them?

Now, I'm a huge fan, it

is takes its inspiration from roast

remain, it has a surface similarity

to the levelling and it is

absolutely Barnard's film, about the

way that trauma affects people pop

back memories, perceptions, people

living with the ghost of an abusive

past, it is very powerful not least

because of the performances which

you expect from Barnard but it is a

film located very much in the

landscape and like the levelling it

has a idea of buried family secrets

coming up from the ground. It is

very atmospheric, the tone although

the subject matter is dark, is

totally an exploitative, it feels

like a film which wants to

understand the psychology of its

characters, it is a sympathetic

film, and it takes its complicated

situation apart. I saw it twice, the

first time at small street and the

second time projected and it is a

film you have to see in the cinema

because so much of it is to do with

the immersive atmosphere of it. This

is not a film you want to wait until

DVD, said in the cinema. It is

cinematic experience. She is a

really brilliant filmmaker and I

thought it was a very powerful

piece, dealing with difficult

subject matter but dealing with it

intelligently.

I cannot wait and I

love the levelling and gods own

country and the whole there.

The

message of British's film industry

seems to be going be a farmer. Now,

The Shape of Water. I love this

film, Delta are's best film since

Pan's Labyrinth and I think that was

the best film of the 21st century so

far and the shape of water is on one

level the creature of the Black

Lagoon meet splash which found that

it shouldn't work and yet, it does.

It does!

Every something. Sally

Hawkins, Jones brilliant as the

creature, and of course the thing

that he always does, he has this

great love of what other people

think of as monsters because the

real monster in the film isn't the

amphibious man, it is a very human

character, set against the backdrop

of Cold War paranoia and the space

race, there are moments it burst

into song and there is a song and

dance routine which suddenly, in the

middle of this-I loved it, it made

me laugh and cry and I thought it

was beautiful and I thought

Guillermo del Toro is a modern-day

Orson Welles and I loved this film

to pieces.

And to look at as well it

is stunning and I guess again sit on

a big screen because it is treat

visually.

How amazing that you can

take a story which is apparently so

bizarre and get you that such

mainstream appeal? It is a film that

will work pretty much anyone because

it is a fairytale but it is also

grounded in a strange reality. Sally

Hawkins's performance is so great.

Terrific, yes, curious but fabulous.

I will accept that. I love your

choice of DVD, I enjoyed it.

choice of DVD, I enjoyed it. It is

weird, The Party, it has a political

backdrop, a group of people together

in a party with his political thing

is happening and they all have

secrets act it revealed and what I

love about it is it is black and

white, stripped to the bone, 71

minutes long! Norton council flat.

It is sharp, the dialogue is very

acerbic, Timothy Spall is in finding

your region is good in everything,

he is in it, it has a brutal humour,

I thought at the beginning I would

find it insular and claustrophobic

it is pretty much in one location

but it made me laugh, it really

found its darkly comic tone.

Yes, it

is a good watch. Like a play for

today.

And so brief, literally, a

5-star running time!

It is a

cracking week. A reminder, all of

the film news and reviews from

across the BBC online at our

website. All of our previous

programs are on the iPlayer of

course. It is a great week. Enjoy

your cinema going.

Hello.

This is Breakfast,

with Jon Kay and Rachel Burden.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

Team GB is celebrating its best

ever winter Olympics,

after Billy Morgan won bronze

in the men's snowboard big air.

The medal is Team GB's

fifth in Pyeongchang,

taking them past the four

won in 1924 and 2014.

The Women's Curling team faces Japan

in a bronze medal match

later this morning.

At the age of 28, Morgan

was the oldest snowboarder competing

in the final, and fell on his first

jump, but came back with two good

runs to finish less

than one point from silver.

In other news, a number of US

companies have cut their ties with

the National Rifle Association as

consumers call for a boycott of

firms linked to the powerful gun

lobby. That includes the car rental

companies Hertz and Enterprise,

which have stopped offering

discounts.

admits to six cases of sexual abuse

and exploitation of children

by its staff and associates.

This time, Plan International UK,

which works in more than 50

countries to improve

children's rights and promote

equality for girls.

A vote at the UN Security Council

resolution calling for

a humanitarian ceasefire

in Syria has been postponed

until later today.

There's been deadlock since Thursday

because of objections from Russia.

Syrian government forces have

continued their bombardment

investigation in return for more

serious charges against

him being dropped.

Britain is set for its coldest

February week in five years,

as freezing air, dubbed

The Beast from The East,

arrives from Russia.

The cold snap will affect the whole

of the UK from Sunday night,

with temperatures expected to drop

to -8 in some areas.

They warn of increased health risks

to vulnerable and elderly people.

Just to make you feel a little bit

colder, nearly 1000 men in Belarus

ran shirtless through the streets of

the capital in sub-zero

temperatures. It is part of the

annual Day of the Fatherland.

Participants in the Real Man Race

can choose between one and three

kilometres, receiving medals from

the athletics federation at the

finish-line. He has the right idea,

he has a coat.

Do you know who can

do that?

You are always looking for

new sports to do.

new sports to do.

In honour of Billy

Morgan, I can do anything now. But

big air! Incredible. How can you try

that? I know sometimes they have

those air things to do it. He hit

the medal target, five medals for

Britain. But it is incredible to

think that we are not the best with

huge mountain ranges! To compete and

actually be the best!

actually be the best! We will talk

to him at 8:30. Let him have a rest

first.

First, to what was an historic night

for Great Britain at the Winter

Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Billy Morgan won bronze

in the men's big air to secure

Great Britain their highest medal

tally in winter Olympic history.

Paul Frostick was watching.

The penultimate day of action in

Pyeongchang, and a chance for the

big jumpers to show off their

skills. It was an imposing 49 metre

ramp. Complex tricks and a clean

landing required to impress the

judges. Billy Morgan only just

qualified for the final. But on his

second of three attempts, he looked

every bit the part of the pillar and

he holds it up. Yes! It was huge,

and he put the hardest grab, the

nose grab. Yes, Billy! That left one

last chance to secure a spot in the

medal positions.

Billy Morgan with

the double grab! Oh, yes! That is

massive. That is absolutely huge.

85.5. Billy Morgan moves into bronze

medal position. And it is a very

long and nervous wait.

Canada's Max

was his biggest threat to walking

away with bronze, but on his final

jump it all went wrong. An injury in

December nearly ruled him out of

these games, but the oldest man in

the final helped Britain come home

with a fifth medal to make sure they

had their best form and at a winter

Olympics. Paul Frostick, BBC News.

At the same time Morgan

was nervously waiting to learn

whether he'd get bronze or not,

two British bobsleigh sleds

were also starting their campaigns.

Brad Hall put in a strong

performance in the two-man

competition earlier in the Games,

but his four-man team,

are struggling.

They're down in 19th place

at the halfway stage.

Lamin Deen's sled, is in 14th

position, with the final two heats

taking place tomorrow.

Most of us choose between skiing and

snowboarding, but this lady does

both!

Ester Ledecka became just the fifth

athlete to claim gold medals in two

sports at a winter Olympics

with a win in the women's

snowboarding parallel giant slalom.

The 22-year-old Czech,

who earned a shock win

in the Skiing Super G last Saturday,

beat Germany's Selina Joerg

to win her second gold.

She is the first athlete to win

in two unrelated events

with the previous double wins

coming in Nordic events.

Great Britain's women will battle it

out for curling a bronze medal,

later today, after being beaten,

in their semi-final

against Sweden yesterday.

Sweden built a huge lead,

at the end of the seventh end,

scoring with three stones,

as Muirhead's effort,

failed to find its target.

GB reduced that deficit to 8-5,

but Sweden added two more,

in the ninth to secure

their place in the final.

Later on this afternoon,

attention will turn once agin

to the Six Nations and the fourth

round of matches taking

place this afternoon.

Last night, France recorded

their first win of the tournament

last night, beating

bottom-of-the-table Italy, 34-17.

The match was played,

in the Stade Velodrome in Marseille,

the first time France have hosted

a Six Nations match outside Paris.

Italy started strongly,

but eventually fell

to the French pressure.

The Italians have lost

all of their matches so far.

The Six Nations Trophy isn't

the only silverware,

to be won across the six weeks

of the Championship,

France took home the,

jeseppee Garibaldi cup,

for their victory last night,

but nothing can rival the history,

of the Calcutta Cup,

as John Watson explains.

Here we are in the heart of the

World Rugby museum at Twickenham.

This is what it is all about. The

historic matches between England and

New Zealand. Why is it called the

Calcutta Cup? What is the

association with Calcutta?

It was

made in Calcutta Cup in 1877. It is

made of 270 silver rubies,

made of 270 silver rubies, the money

back then. They wanted to make a

lasting contribution to the sport.

They melted it down and created this

trophy.

It seems peculiar that

matches between England and Scotland

are contested for a trophy made in

Calcutta. Why was it given to the

RFU in England.

Rugby travelled

around the world and establish

itself imports around the British

Empire.

Empire. The Calcutta Football Club

established the competition. When

the club closed, they wanted to do

something with the money left in the

accounts. That is why they made the

trophy and presented it to the RFU.

When was the first match?

The first

between England and Scotland was in

1871. The first time contested for

that trophy was 1878. It finished in

a draw. No one got the first game,

but England won the next year.

As we

know, England have won more times.

England have a better record.

Scotland have a way to go to catch

up.

Absolutely. We will wait to see

how they go. We will see to get

their hands on the trophy.

Before the Calcutta Cup,

Ireland welcome Wales to Dublin,

and it will be Warren Gatland's,

100th test in charge

of the Welsh side.

He was first appointed a decade

ago, making him Wales'

longest-serving head coach.

He says it's a nice accolade,

but he'd prefer to focus

on the campaign.

It is a nice honour. It's just for

me. It's something for me to reflect

back on. It is a nice achievement,

but it is about the game and the

players and the results. That is

more important than me reaching 100

games.

The Women's six nations championship

runs alongside the men's,

and England are still on course

for a second successive Grand Slam.

They comfortably beat

Scotland 43-8 last night.

The red roses made it

three wins from three,

running in seven tries

in all at Scots-toun.

This try by Ellie Kil-dunne secured

England's bonus point

before half time.

Warrington Wolves ended Wigan's

winning start to the Super League

season, beating them 16-10.

It was a deserved derby

victory for the Wolves,

who'd only won one of their first

three matches, since

the season began.

Also last night, St Helens beat

Huddersfield Giants 26-12,

and Salford Red Devils came

through 36-12 against Hull KR.

In the Championship, Hull City's

match with Sheffield United

was suspended for two and a half

minutes, because of a protest

by the home fans against

the club's ownership.

Items were thrown onto the pitch

by supporters who've grown

frustrated with the Allam family's

running of the club,

midway through the first half.

The home side did go

on to win, though.

Nouha Dicko, scoring the only goal

of the game to move Hull out

of the relegation zone.

And finally, if you can't

find your snowboard,

you could always find a friend!

This is a nice alternative. Go

underneath!

Yesterday, we had team GB's

latest Olympic medallist,

Snowboarder, Billy Morgan,

showing off his scooter skills

around the Olympic Village,

and today we've got another boarder

who's found an alternative

mode of transport!

This is Norwegian snowboarder

Stale Sandbech riding down

the mountain on fellow rider

Tyler Nicholson's back.

The accolades should surely go to

the man underneath. No skill

required. A stiff back, and keep

away from walls. You can try it

later.

Let's talk some more about that

incredible bronze medal achievement

from British snowboarder

Billy Morgan in the early hours

of this morning.

I'm joined now by two

people who saw it unfold,

commentators, Ed Leigh

and Tom Warwood, in Pyeongchang.

We loved your reaction. How

surprised were you by the stunning

jump given he was struggling with a

knee injury just two weeks ago?

Well, I was very surprised by his

performance today. I can

performance today. I can say that

Tim predicted it from 7am this

morning in the car. To injure your

knee in December and barely being on

a snowboard for all of January,

coming

coming to these Games, uh, and then,

he rode in slope style not in usual

standard, crashing before the

contest started, dropping his first

jump. Wallaby pressure on. To claim

that medal was absolutely

breathtaking.

It is over in a few

seconds.

seconds. Talk us through how

difficult it is with technical

terms.

The two tricks he did are

both triple corks. He is not only

spinning around, he is also spinning

upside down. He spins upside down

three times during the trick. He did

the backside variation, showing his

back first, and the frontside

variation, showing his front to the

landing first. Spinning around

upside down three times. That was a

trick he did not actually have on

lock. He was not 100% guaranteed to

land it. There was a bit of luck. We

saw videos that emerged through the

week in the buildup to the finals.

You know, he had to go for it if you

wanted a medal. He had to pull it

out, and wow, he did.

And at 28! We

have been saying he is the oldest

competitor. He is remarkably useful

to the rest of us.

to the rest of us. Where is he now

in his career? What more can he do?

This will undoubtedly be his last

chance of the big air at the

Olympics. One of the people he was

up

up against, Marcus, he was landing

quadruple corks, what Billy

pioneered, Marcus landed that at 17.

Billy Morgan only started

snowboarding at 14-15. It shows you

how far behind Billy was. But his

acrobatic background turbocharged

his learning. He is supernatural at

snowboarding. But this was his last

chance. Now or never. To deliver

under those circumstances, it is a

real fairy tale story.

You can imagine young people

watching this at home, trying it off

the sofa- please don't, by the way,

so how can they get started?

After

Jenny Jones's bronze battle in

salty, the participation level in

ski and snowboard and across the dry

slopes and the snow domes, the

participation went through the roof

and people went out there to give it

a go and now what they have done

with their set up and the Pathways

program to try to encourage people

through from grassroots level so to

speak, there is a pathway for them

if they want to be the next Billy

Morgan or Jenny Jones or James Woods

or whoever, they can get out there

and give it ago and I think what it

does is it shows everybody that it

is possible, if you want to be a

bronze medallist, Billy Morgan 15

years ago was an acrobat in the now

he is one of the best snowboarders

in the world so it shows everyone it

is possible.

Fantastic, we will be

inspired, thank you, guys, good

luck. I am imagining my nephews at

home. Do not do it on the sofa at

home. Do not do it at the sofa at

work either. You are banned! Were

talking about the extreme low to

riches in Pyeongchang and we are

talking about them now here. Philip,

is that comparable?

talking about them now here. Philip,

is that comparable? Not quite, -26.

You mentioned a cardigan early, we

have had a whip around and got you a

hat. Don't go to a cardigan, for the

sake of the nation. Here are some

meets. -- mitts. Are already seeing

this familiar pattern which will

become familiar to us with a high

pressure over the northern parts of

Scandinavia and then we are tapping

into the cold air around the

southern flank, eastern flank of it,

gradually shovelling it towards the

British Isles. Not such an issue

today, a decent day, if there is

cloud across parts but look at the

temperatures, not bad compared to

where we are going. Someone in the

north-west of Scotland make it up to

eight degrees. Overnight, the skies

will be clear away from the sort of

eastern coast of Scotland,

north-east of England and again the

temperatures will go away to -3, -5,

in some of the major towns and

cities, some with seven or eight

degrees below perhaps. Get up and

enjoy Sunday because if you have

enough layers on it is a lovely day,

whatever you want to do, the weather

will not get in the way. But you

will need the layers, three, four,

five, six degrees or so. Monday, we

begin to see the first signs of a

change because along the ice above I

were showing you the cold wind

begins to start showing its hand and

there will be snow showers here. The

darker lumps of cloud here if you

like is a representation of the snow

showers coming through, particularly

to the eastern side of the British

Isles and notice how the

temperatures begin to slip away.

That is what you will see on your

thermometer when I added the

strength of the wind. This is the

crucial bit because this is what you

will feel. Across the Midlands and

eastern parts of the British Isles,

four, five, six degrees minus. And

from there, Monday- Tuesday,

Tuesday- Wednesday is when we will

be talking to you about the

potential to some areas are some

disruptive snow. Enough of me.

potential to some areas are some

disruptive snow. Enough of me. We

will be digging up our knitwear

later on, don't you worry. Time for

click.

OK, movie quiz time.

Five points if you can

name this film.

Correct - it's Raiders

of the Lost Ark.

No, that is not Harrison Ford,

that is the face of Nicholas Cage.

OK, try this one.

Yes, it is The Fellowship

of the Ring.

100 points if you spotted

Nicholas Cage, Nicolas Cage

and Nicholas Cage.

So, what on earth is going on?

We're just about getting used

to the idea that there are loads

of fakes online.

Fake news, fake tweets,

fake Photoshopped images.

But these videos are a whole level

above anything that we've seen

before, and they may have

consequences that go far beyond just

switching out a few movie stars.

A lot of what we talk about over

the dinner table is,

we live in a diverse world.

Researchers at the University

of Washington released this video

last year, which used a computer

vision algorithm to very

convincingly doctor Barack Obama's

mouth movements to make him lip sync

to something he said

in a different interview.

A lot of kids, the doors that have

been opened to me aren't

open to them.

And with the tricks and tools

of machine learning becoming better

and easier to use, it's

now possible to do this

without a particularly

powerful computer.

Remember the Nick Cage

videos from earlier?

Well, this mix of Donald Trump

and Angela Merkel was created

using the same tool,

a tool called Deepfakes.

To be clear, this is not just a face

swap like you might see on Snapchat.

This is artificial intelligence that

has learned what Trump's face looks

like and then made it copy

Merkel's facial expressions.

What's fascinating is that these

weren't made by a team

of researchers, or a Hollywood

visual effects department.

These were made by individuals

following an online tutorial

on a desktop machine.

Now, to see how easy it is,

we're going to do it.

We're going to take my face

and make me president.

We trained a neural network

by feeding it video of some

of my past appearances.

We mixed it with President Trump's

State of the Union Address.

The software broke the video

into individual frames,

ran them through the network and,

in less than a day, this

was the result.

All of us, together, as one team...

So, this is the original

video of Trump.

And this is me, on his head.

We all share the same home.

I'm not sure it's an improvement,

but that does seem to be

President Spenley Trump.

The other half of the experiment

didn't go quite so well.

This is Click presenter

Donald Kelly.

Now, this was a very short

and quick experiment.

It's far from perfect.

It's blurry, you can see the edges -

and sometimes, well,

it's just downright scary.

But had we left the network

to train for longer,

on better videos, we could have got

much more convincing results.

Now, it doesn't take much

imagination to see how one

could create international outrage

by making fake statements

from world leaders.

Something that may become possible

very soon, thanks to some software

that we looked at last year.

This is Lyrebird.

The idea here is that I can train

a neural network with samples

of my voice and then it will be

able to speak like me.

Harry hoped he would see some

success from the current project.

Parents should look out for...

The software asks you to read out

at least 30 sentences

of its choosing, from which it can

pull out the basic building blocks

of words, the phonemes,

that can then be put back together

in any order.

In other words, "in other words".

I've always been a big

fan of One Direction.

They were, quite frankly,

better than the Beatles.

LAUGHS.

Although the creators of Lyrebird

are aware that this technology

could be misused, they say that

by releasing it as a free tool,

well, at least the public

will become aware that fake voices

are already a reality.

AS DONALD TRUMP:

Great, the best!

One idea that we are considering is

to watermark the audio samples

that we produce.

So we are able to detect immediately

if it is generated by us.

So, how do we protect ourselves

from having our online photos,

videos and sound recordings used

to create fake us-es?

At the moment, we are in a wild,

wild west situation.

We don't know the attitude

of the courts to this problem.

We don't have a clear piece

of legislation that would cover it.

We have piecemeal laws on privacy,

copyright, trademark and passing off

that would be useful

to somebody in trying to stop

this from happening.

But we don't have a clear legal

definition and we don't have a clear

piece of legislation

that is exactly on point.

And until we have that, this legal

uncertainty will continue.

The morality and the legality

of Deepfakes are murky issues.

Just as we are wrestling

with the fact that we can't trust

what we read, very soon we will need

to confront the fact that we can't

trust anything we see

or hear either.

Remember Nintendo's Switch,

its hugely successful console that's

both mobile and which

plugs into a TV?

Well, the Japanese gaming giant has

now created a host of rather unusual

new peripherals which wildly alter

how the machine is used.

And Marc Cieslak has been getting

all bent out of shape over it.

HE PLAYS A MUSICAL SCALE.

You may be forgiven for thinking

that this cardboard

was the packaging for

the new peripherals

for the Nintendo Switch console.

However, the cardboard

are the peripherals themselves.

Called Labo, it's a range of devices

which includes things like a piano,

motorbike handlebars,

fishing rod and even a robot suit.

Straps on the shoes...

I might look like I'm stomping

around in a slightly weird way

but this game asks you to really get

into the character of a giant robot.

And, if I pull down my visor,

I activate first-person mode.

For precision destruction!

Called Toy-Cons, they are all

constructed from folded cardboard.

Some use elastic bands and all use

the Switch's motion-sensing

controllers.

I think Labo is a big deal

for Nintendo Switch,

just because it proves that Nintendo

is capable of continuing to innovate

on an already innovative product.

The fact that it is made out

of cardboard and your existing

controllers fit in, I think

will blow parents' minds and,

more importantly, blow

children's minds as well.

But before you can play

with your Toy-Con, you've got

to build it first -

something that you might worry

requires the prowess of an origami

expert crossed with the advanced

flat pack furniture building skills

of a self-assembly sensei.

Building these devices takes

varying lengths of time.

More complicated Toy-Cons,

like the robot suit,

can take up to eight

hours to complete.

But that's part of the appeal

of Labo - taking pleasure

from the building of the devices

that you are about to use

and understanding how

they go together.

A little bit of patience and some

deft folding results in this.

Nintendo reckoned this

is a radio-controlled car.

Last time I looked, cars had wheels.

My completed Toy-Con,

which I can make move around,

because the Switch controllers have

got HD rumble and it means that

you can have differing levels

of rumble, allowing this particular

Toy-Con to move about.

Each one of the Toy-Cons

comes with a game.

Some are more complicated

than others, but will require

an element of physical control,

which comes courtesy

of the folded cardboard.

The games themselves

are more like mini-games.

But that's not the point.

This is more about creativity

and making something

than it is a hardcore

gaming experience.

But I do question the durability

of cardboard peripherals.

How does that go back in there?

Not very, based

on my time with them.

We've managed to have a pit stop

with our very own cardboard

mechanic.

OK, fantastic.

So, while I managed to damage my

cardboard motorcycle,

repairs are really quite easy.

There are two different

offerings so far -

the Variety Pack, which includes

five different Toy-Cons,

priced at £59.99, and the Robosuit,

which costs £69.99.

That seems like a lot of money

for cardboard toys with bits

of string for guts.

Nintendo hasn't yet said

whether they are going to give

you replacement parts for that,

or whether you are going to have

to scavenge cardboard from

supermarkets or things like that.

So it's going to be interesting

to see how much Nintendo

are expecting you to spend on top

of the base game and cardboard kits.

This week, Caterpillar announced

the release of a new smartphone.

You'd be forgiven for not even

knowing they produced such a thing -

these devices are specifically aimed

at the construction industry.

But this one has a few

interesting features.

An upgrade to their FLIR

thermal imaging camera,

the addition of a laser beam

for measuring how far away something

is, or room size, and the stand

out feature, a nose -

yes, it can smell.

Or, more specifically,

has an indoor air quality sensor

which aims to alert users

if there are high levels of volatile

organic compounds - or VOCs -

in the air, something commonly found

in paint, solvents

and cleaning products.

Sound a bit niche?

Well, its creators don't think so.

Builders, plumbers, electricians,

carpenters, farmers.

These type of people kind

of generally get overlooked

by the everyday phone vendors.

And so what we are doing

is understanding the technology

that we can integrate

into our products that really

makes their lives better.

And next week on the show, we'll be

bringing you all of the latest news

and releases from NWC in Barcelona.

That is all from the shortcut

of Click this week, the full episode

is up on iPlayer.

Don't forget, we live

on Twitter @BBCClick

and on Facebook, too.

Thanks for watching

and we will see you soon.

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Rachel Burden and Jon Kay.

Leaping into the record books -

medal number five seals Team

GB's most successful

Winter Olympics ever.

Billy Morgan bagged bronze

in the Big Air snowboard event

with the jump of his life.

And coming until Econ test thinking,

I'm shooting for a medal, you are

ready for it. But I just didn't.

And Great Britain could win,

medal number six today,

the women's curling team,

play japan for the bronze medal,

later this morning.

Almost here this morning, taking a

stand. Big companies cut ties with

the NRA, after last week's mass

shooting at a Florida school.

Fresh revelations

of misconduct by aid workers -

UK charity Plan International admits

to six cases of sexual abuse

and exploitation of children

by its staff and associates.

As Britain braces itself

for an arctic blast,

we'll be getting some top tips

on how walkers can

stay safe in the snow.

And Philip Avery has the weather.

Good morning. Dry and bright and

sunny weekend in store for all part

of the British Isles. A little bit

on the chilly side. It's next week

when things get much colder and we

could well see a real of winter.

More details for you in just a few

minutes.

See you then, thank you.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Team GB is celebrating its best

ever Winter Olympics,

after Billy Morgan won bronze

in the men's snowboard big air.

The medal is Team GB's

fifth in Pyeongchang,

taking them past the four won

in 1924 and 2014.

The women's curling team faces

Japan in a bronze medal

match later this morning.

At the age of 28, Morgan

was the oldest snowboarder

competing in the final,

and fell on his first jump,

but came back with two good runs

to finish less than one

point from silver.

Let's speak to our sports

correspondent David Ornstein,

who is in Pyeongchang.

Great celebrations I would imagine

for everyone in Team GB today?

That's right. Great news for Team

GB. Billie Morgan with a record

fifth medal of these games. Taking

Britain passed the four they won in

Chamonix in 1924, and in Sochi in

2014. It has also meant that Britain

has met their target from the

funding body. Billy Morgan fell on

his training runs and his first run

in competition, but then nailed his

next two to win a bronze medal. It

really is a fantastic story for

Billy Morgan. Three years older than

anyone else in the field. You'll

make a meant to snowboarding at the

age of 15. Years had trouble with

his knees. He had a background in

gymnastics and skateboarding. Ease

cause a real surprise here. Some

people thought he could have got a

medal, but he was up against tough

opponents. It takes Britain into

uncharted territory and it could get

even better for the women's curling

team, who fight for a bronze medal

later today.

later today.

David, many thanks.

And we'll be speaking to the man

himself, from Pyeongchang,

just after 8:30am.

A number of US companies have cut

ties with

the National

Rifle Association -

as consumers call for

a boycott of firms

linked to the powerful

gun lobby.

They include the car

rental companies Hertz

and Enterprise Holdings,

both of which have stopped offering

discounts for members

of the Association, in the wake

of the Florida school shooting.

Our North America correspondent

Peter Bowes reports.

The aftermath to a school shooting

that could prompt change in America.

Amidst the grieving, the mood has

been different this time.

Within hours of the gunman

killing 17 people, anger

overflowed onto the streets.

Now it is social media

where pressure is being exerted

on the hugely powerful gun lobby.

Under the hashtag boycott NRA,

activists are targeting firms that

offer special benefits to members

of the National Rifle Association.

And they include some of the most

familiar corporate names.

The car rental companies

Hertz and Enterprise,

which also owns Alamo International.

which also owns Alamo and National.

They're ending discounts offered

to members of the gun lobby

group from next month.

Met Life Insurance and the software

company Symantec are

taking similar action.

There has been no word

in response from the NRA.

It is unclear whether these actions

will hurt an organisation that

boasts 5 million members.

During the week, its chief executive

hit out at the protesters.

Their goal is to eliminate

the Second Amendment

and our firearms freedoms.

So they can eradicate

all individual freedoms.

Donald Trump says he is open

to new ideas but the one he seems

to like best is giving

guns to teachers.

It's concealed.

So this crazy man who walked

in wouldn't even know

who it is that has it.

That's good.

That's not bad, that's good.

And a teacher would have shot

the hell out of him before

he knew what happened.

The debate over what to do next

will be highly charged

and intensely political.

One of the UK's biggest children's

aid charities has confirmed

there have been six cases of child

sexual abuse by staff and volunteers

in the last two years.

Plan International says five of them

were criminal cases and reported

to the local authorities

in the countries involved.

Adina Campbell reports.

This time, plan International UK,

which works in more than 50

countries to improve children's

rights and promote equality for

girls. In its latest online blog, it

has confirmed six cases of sexual

abuse and exploitation of children

between July 2016 and June last

year. One involved a member of

staff. The others were by volunteers

or associates. Plan International

says the staff member was not from

the UK and was dismissed without

reference. And ended the contracts

with the other volunteers and

organisations involved. The charity

also says there were nine cases of

sexual misconduct and harassment by

staff against other adults which led

to seven dismissals. In the past,

Plan International UK has received

millions of pounds of funding from

the government. It's the latest

major charity to admit cases of

sexual misconduct and follows

investigations into aid

organisations including Oxfam and

Save the Children. In an open

letter, the three charities and many

others have now promised a series of

urgent and immediate measures to

protect the vulnerable.

In a plea

A former senior adviser

to Donald Trump has admitted charges

of conspiracy and lying

to investigators, who are examining

Russian political interference

in the 2016 presidential election.

In a plea deal, Rick Gates admitted

conspiracy to defraud the government

and making false statements.

He's become the third associate

of the president to agree

to co-operate with a special

investigation, in return

for more serious charges

against him being dropped.

Britain is set for its coldest

February week in five years,

as freezing air, dubbed The Beast

from The East, arrives from Russia.

The cold snap will affect the whole

of the UK from Sunday night,

with temperatures expected to drop

to minus-eight in some areas.

Simon Jones reports.

The gritters are gearing

up as Britain braces

itself for a big freeze.

The so-called Beast from the East

is sweeping in from Siberia.

The Met office, in conjunction

with NHS England, has issued a level

three cold weather alert

for the whole of the country,

the second most serious level.

That means there is a 99%

chance of severe weather,

icy conditions or heavy snow,

between now and Thursday.

There are additional yellow severe

warnings for snow early next week

covering most of Eastern in Britain.

That could cause travel

problems and power cuts.

It is certainly not the first snow

we will have this winter.

But what makes this cold snap

different is it is expected

to affect the whole of the UK.

Temperatures could fall as low

as -8, but it will feel much

chillier because of the wind.

There could be increased pressure

on already stretched NHS services

and councils are providing extra

emergency beds for rough sleepers.

In Ipswich, it is being done

in partnership with the local

housing association.

The main aim is always to get people

off the street and to stop people

from dying in the cold weather.

And, to date, we have

been pretty successful.

Next Thursday is the

meteorological start of spring.

But that appears to be on hold

as winter continues to bite.

A UK ticket holder has won nearly

£78 million in the EuroMillions draw

after sharing the jackpot

with a winner from Spain.

The jackpot has been growing

since the turn of the year

and was the third biggest

in the draw's history.

someone is going to be celebrating

this morning.

A vote on a UN

Security Council resolution calling

for a humanitarian ceasefire

in Syria has been postponed

until later today.

There's been deadlock since Thursday

following objections from Russia.

Syrian government forces have waged

a fierce air campaign

on the rebel-held enclave

of Eastern Ghouta, near Damascus.

462 people have been

killed there this week,

at least 99 of them children.

Barrel bombs and shell fire have

rained down on the area,

where nearly 400,000

people remain trapped.

Witnesses described yesterday's

bombing was the most intense so far.

The Syrian government has denied

targetting civilians,

and insists it is trying to liberate

the Eastern Ghouta from what it

calls "terrorists".

We're joined now by Tim Eaton,

from the international relations
