21/03/2018 Breakfast

Hello - this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

A pay rise for more

than a million NHS staff.

Nurses, porters and paramedics

are among those expected to benefit

from wage increases

of around 6% over 3 years.

Good morning.

Also: New claims that personal data

from Facebook was used by a British

firm to influence the American

presidential election -

the academic at the centre

of the row tells the BBC he's been

made a scapegoat.

Honestly, we thought we were acting

perfectly appropriately. We would

build -- we thought we were doing

something that was perfectly normal.

An investgation beings

into the cause of a Red Arrows jet

crash which killed an engineer

and left the pilot injured.

We've a special report

into a widow's battle for legal

representation at the inquiry

into how her husband was murdered

by a stranger.

With the deadline approaching

for companies to reveal their gender

pay gap - I've been

looking at the numbers.

Three-quarters of them pay

men more than women.

In sport, its friendly week for

England if the clash of the keepers.

For candidates go ahead had to be

the first choice at this summer's

World Cup in Russia. --4.

Good morning, a cold and frosty

light on patchy rain coming in from

the west. -- start of the day for

England and Wales.

More than a million NHS staff

are poised for a pay rise -

with a deal that could be worth

as much as £4 billion

being announced by lunch time today.

The BBC understands that

health bosses and unions

have

reached an agreement that will mark

an end to a 7-year-cap and boost

the salaries of workers including

nurses, porters and paramedics -

but not doctors.

Our political correspondent

Iain Watson is in Westminster.

It will be good news for people in

need health service have seen it had

backed 1% and frozen before that. We

over public sector pay was lifted

last September for police and prison

officers. Particularly costly for

the government.

the government. Over the next three

years. That is just on average.

Lower paid staff would benefit more.

Doctors and dentists are covered by

separate pay review body.

Effectively, people such as hospital

porters would get far more than

hospital managers as percentage

increase. It could be as high as 20%

for some staff. This is agreed by

unions and staff themselves but

unions are likely to endorse this.

It could cost the government around

£4 billion and come with quite a

high cost. The crucial thing is from

the health service workers point of

view, they are not having to do

things that would be suggested. Such

as losing a days pay. We should say

the average of around 6% could meet

the current rate of inflation. They

will have to make their own

individual decisions about how much

they benefit. Certainly compared to

that pay, since 2010, this would be

a significant departure.

We will be

talking to you later.

Facebook will be questioned

by politicians in Washington today -

as the company comes under growing

pressure to explain how data from 50

million users was used

by a British Company

during the US presidential election.

It's alleged that Cambridge

Analytica used the data

to target voters and influence

the election outcome.

That company's chief executive,

Alexander Nix, has been suspended.

Both firms deny any wrongdoing.

Simon Jones reports.

Facebook held a crisis

meeting today...

An international row about Facebook

data making headlines

in the States and in London,

home to the consultancy,

Cambridge Analytica.

That company is accused

of using the personal data

of 50 million Facebook users to send

highly targeted messages

during the 2016 US

election campaign.

Secret filming by Channel 4 News

shows Cambridge Analytica's boss,

Alexander Nix, boasting

about the role it played

in Donald Trump's victory.

The company has denied the Facebook

information was used

for this purpose.

It said Mr Nix's comments do to not

represent the values of the firm.

He has been suspended.

The Cambridge academic who created

the data that was Harberton --

harvested and has been banned from

Facebook says that he has been

banned.

I have been used as a

scapegoat by Analytica. We thought

we were acting appropriately, and

did not do anything wrong.

Facebook

says it did break rules by donating

dated to third parties and says it

has been deceived by Cambridge

Analytica. There is growing pressure

from politicians.

from politicians.

Thank you becoming

on Breakfast. How is this gone down

in America?

The question everybody has asking.

We are today six of this crisis. It

certainly is a crisis. We AAT here

even a peep from the founder of

Facebook. They have had a meeting.

That wasn't shared by Mark

Zuckerberg what is happening here,

it seems to me, is that blame is

being passed from party to party.

Blame is being shifted around,

nobody taking it. There are several

investigations being opened. The

most prominent of which is by the US

regulator for consumer affairs, much

like Trading Standards. They are

looking at whether Facebook broke

important rules about getting

consent about how data is being used

if they find Facebook did break

those rules, it could levy an

enormous fine which is based on a

number of users and time.

number of users and time. We will be

talking to a technology expert.

The Royal Air Force has confirmed

that a member of its Red Arrows

aerobatic team has died

in a crash in North Wales.

The engineer was killed when a Hawk

jet came down near the RAF Valley

base on Anglesey yesterday.

The pilot who is injured

and receiving medical care

managed to eject.

There are no details

about the cause of the crash.

Our Wales correspondent

Sian Lloyd reports.

The red arrow hauled jet crashed

within minutes from taking off

Anglesey yesterday afternoon. The

clouds of smoke could be seen for

miles across the island. This

footage was taken just moments after

it came down. Two members of the red

arrows display team were board. One

crew member died.

The family of the

engineers have been informed and

asked for a 24- hour period of grace

before further details are released.

The pilot of the aircraft survived

the incident and is currently

receiving medical care.

Peter Glover

saw what happened on his nearby

caravan.

I saw it --I saw the should

open on the plane hit the ground,

severely get the ground and a

massive ball of smoke.

The red

arrows aerobatic team are famous

that their displays. The two crew

members have been training on

Anglesey and the jet was returning

to its base at RAF Scampton in

Lincolnshire when it came down.

The

RAF say that the sort -- their

thoughts are very much with the

families of the two men involved in

this crash. The joint enquiry into

what happened is being carried out

by the air accident investigation

Branch in North Wales police.

They

are appealing for anyone who saw

what happened here to get in touch.

Vulnerable mental health patients

are being let down because of

serious failings in our treatment.

The ombudsman has said this. A new

report identifies a number of issues

with some mental health trusts that

could lead to patients suffering

distress, harm or even dying

avoidably. The ombudsman found that

mental healthcare staff can lack the

capacity, skills and training they

need to do their job effectively.

They don't always have the support

needed to learn from mistakes. The

government says they are expanding

the service provision.

A group of MPs is warning of

government complacency after Brexit.

The all-party Home Affairs Committee

says the transition period which has

recently been agreed to be extended

if public safety is not to be

compromised. They say this down to

the complexity of issues such as

data sharing, the European Arrest

Warrant and mentorship.

It's been a 25 year wait -

but later today the first polar bear

born in the UK for over two

decades public from today.

Born in December it has yet

to be named as keepers

try to determine its sex.

The cub has spent the last four

months in the maternity den

with its mother Victoria

at the Royal Zoological Society's

Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland.

We don't know.

I have done a bit of

research into sexing a poll about.

No, Dan, really? What time would you

like me to unveil? Never. It's quite

interesting.

Dan's morning has been

wasted.

It's to do with further

levels. You can also look at when

they wee and you can see were in the

body it comes out of.

Oh, my

goodness. The things I

goodness. The things I didn't know

more details later.

You will be

looking at those poll about pictures

and much more detail.

What have you

got for us?

Ever an's attention seems to be

turning to the World Cup.

turning to the World Cup. Interviews

with players, interviews with the

manager, being kitted out. A lot of

the talk is about the goalkeepers.

The battle is on to being an's first

choice goalkeeper and it is hotting

up ahead of this summer's World Cup

in Russia. Joe Hart says he would

have nothing more. He is up against

Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford.

With manager Gareth Southgate set

to experiment in the upcoming

friendlies with the

Netherlands and Italy.

Manchester City aim to end a run of

three matches without victories. The

second year running. Chelsea also in

quarterfinal action this evening.

Britain's Heather Watson has

suffered her sixth defeat in a row.

She's crashed out of the Miami Open

in the first round, losing

in straight sets to Brazil's

Beatriz Haddad Maia.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is through to

the quarter-finals of the Players

Championship.

He beat Graame Dott

6-1 in Llandudno.

Never looked troubled at all. Just

cruising through that one.

Let's

find out what is happening in the

weather. Good morning. A beautiful

picture behind you. Do you know that

where that is behind you?

No, I

don't. It might be found in's Abbey?

Sorry, Carol. It is a beautiful

picture.

It illustrates the weather, blue

skies, some of us will start with

this, but also frost, quite a frosty

scene, where we don't have the cloud

cover. In Harrison in the Outer

Hebrides, the temperature at the

moment is more or less seven but in

Katesbridge under clear skies, it is

-5. Huge difference in the areas

where we have cloud and where we

don't. Frosty for many but where we

have the frost and clear skies, this

is where we start with a lot of

sunshine. You can see where we have

the thickest cloud and that's in

parts of Scotland and parts of

Northern Ireland. Elsewhere we are

looking at good breaks and that's

where the temperature is quite low.

Also a weather front sinking south

today, taking rain with it, albeit

light and patchy and a fair bit of

cloud troubling south with it too so

the further south and east you are

you will hang the sunshine for the

longest. A start in much of England

and Wales. Scotland and Northern

Ireland, you have a fair bit of

cloud with some light and patchy

rain. A bit of snow in the tops of

the hills and through the day at the

cloud pushes south on the weather

front, it might not just produce

drizzle and patchy rain here and

there, but it will turn the sunshine

hazier so the far south-east hanging

on to the lion's share of the

sunshine. Compare it to the

temperatures of late, not too bad,

double figures.

As we head through the evening and

overnight, our weather front here

sinks south. You all seem or aim

coming in across the north-west,

showery at that, and also breaks in

the cloud -- you will see more rain.

What a difference in temperatures

this morning compare it to tomorrow

morning. Tomorrow will not be as

cold. No issues with frost but here

and there the cloud breaks with

parts of the sub west seeing pockets

of frost, but no more than that.

Through the course of tomorrow we

have drizzly rain in the south-east

moving away, a lot of dry weather,

sunny intervals and cloud building

ahead of our next weather front from

the Atlantic. This one is more

organised and it will also produce

heavy rain and the wind will also

strengthen. But again, temperature

wise, we're in pretty good shape. Up

to ten, 11, maybe 12. Into Friday,

this weather front continues to move

steadily east, clearing much of the

country but we'll start possibly

with some light rain or drizzle in

eastern parts of England, into East

Anglia and the south-east, that

moves away. If we follow it around,

you can see this great big curl,

again, wet and windy with possibly

hill snow in the north, and we're

looking at the potential of some of

this rain coming from the

south-west, which could be heavy,

but the northern edge still open to

question.

Thanks, Carol, we will

speak to you later.

We are trying to

work out where that Abbey is. Sorry

for the rogue question.

She is gone!

Steph is here to look at the front

pages and the back pages. The front

page of times, the main story is

about Cambridge analytic, lots of

details in various papers this

morning. A £1 million bribe to turn

an election. Masood details and they

are talking about plastic, plastic

pollution tripling in seven years.

-- the main story here, first

pass assisted dying law.

going to Heathrow Airport. They have

more detail on the Cambridge

Analytica files. The Daily

Telegraph, Packers lead warplanes to

is David, he said he believed he was

targeted by hackers while directing

surgery over Skype and WhatsApp.

Stephen Hawking to be interred at

Westminster Abbey, his remains will

be laid to rest and not given to a

scientist in almost 80 years. It's

in some of the other papers as well.

The Sun, that's their front page,

they are talking about a YouTube app

that teaches people how to make a

gun. The Daily Mail, Jeremy Hunt

talking yesterday about care for the

elderly and this is how they have

put it, let's put our elderly first.

Steph?

I have two stories for you.

I'm going to start with something I

know annoys lots of people, car

insurance, the cost of it, there's a

report in the FT this morning saying

the government has set down roles to

cut down insurance claims for

whiplash, which is why some firms

say premiums go up every year --

rules. Now they are going to say the

changes would save £35 a year in car

premiums. Not a lot but it is good

to see it going down rather than up.

In most of the papers today,

something I will talk about later,

the Church of England is going

contactless with collection plates.

Rather than having to put in coins,

you can use your card or whatever to

donate. This might catch your eyes,

this cracking picture of a starling

staring at a sparrowhawk, it has

pinned it to the ground.

Did it get

away?

It did, moments later they

were startled by a pedestrian and

disappeared under a hedge.

How did

it" as you like that's all I know so

far, part two tomorrow. Incredible

picture. -- how did it end?

picture. -- how did it end?

This is

the England squad meeting at Saint

Georges Park ahead of their

friendlies this week to try on their

kit for the World Cup. Each player

has their suits, waistcoat, shirt,

but they haven't named the final

squad so some get given a suit and

they have to take it back.

It is

Thanks very much, Kat.

It's nine months since

the Grenfell Tower fire.

It's nine months since

the Grenfell Tower fire.

Today, preliminary hearings

into the tragedy continue

before the main

inquiry begins in May.

The cladding on the tower has been

pinpointed as a reason the blaze

spread so quickly, and it forced

local authorities across the UK

to test cladding

on similar properties.

301 buildings didn't meet current

building regulations

and Salford was one

of the local authorities

with the highest failure rate.

Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been

to meet some residents waiting

for cladding to be removed.

Nine months after the fire at

Grenfell Tower, the cladding on fall

in court in Salford is still in

place. We first filmed here in

August last year.

This is our lives

that they are messing about with,

and we are potentially living in a

death trap, all of us.

It's failed

all the tests, so no matter what

they say, you feel uneasy now.

Today

the residents remain angry,

frustrated, afraid.

A lot of people

are quite frightened because if you

look out of your window, you see

smoke, and you see a fire creeping

up the building... You feel as if

you're in a melting pot, you know?

Do you think the council is taking

this seriously?

Know, because if

they were they'd have started work

on this by now.

In the days after

the fire at Grenfell every tower

block in the country over 80

the fire at Grenfell every tower

block in the country over 80 metres

was checked. The latest government

figures show in all 301 buildings

have the same type of cladding is

Grenfell Tower, 13 are public

buildings like schools and

hospitals, 130 are private box and

158 are council blocks, of those

only seven have completed their

refurbishment.

only seven have completed their

refurbishment. So why is there such

a delay in getting this urgent work

done? Well, each cases complicated,

in privately owned blocks there are

legal rows between the freeholders

and residents about who should pay

for the work to be done. Form court

is owned by Salford City Council but

it is run on their behalf by a

private finance initiative by

Pendleton forever and again there's

a row between those two about who

should pay for the cladding to be

removed. Do you think it's

acceptable that we are nine months

after the fire at Grenfell Tower and

as far as they're concerned

virtually nothing has been done?

I'm

not sure which residents you've been

speaking to, would be deny that

there are fire marshals in place at

the moment? Would be denying we've

taken steps in terms of the fire

remand? Is still in place. The

cladding is flammable. The cladding

is not in place on the bottom

levels, we've covered it with

concrete in order to make it inert.

Just let me finish... How long has

this taken?

We had to do the test

and find the safest system we can

possibly find for their benefit, and

that's exactly what we're doing.

Salford council has borrowed £25

million to replace the cladding on

nine tower blocks. It says work will

start in the spring and could take

two years to complete. The

government insists whoever owns the

building should pay for the work.

Local councils say central

government should help. Who

eventually pays is anyone's guess.

Residents just want action. Do you

feel safe?

No, I don't. Stop making

people live in fear in these blocks.

We're not talking about a dozen or

so, we're talking about hundreds of

people on this estate.

And across the country thousands of

residents are still living in tower

blocks with cladding deemed a fire

risk. Graham Satchell, BBC News,

Salford.

The Grenfell Inquiry's main hearings

are due to begin in May.

Still to come this morning:

could you give up driving

your car and swap it

for an automated driverless vehicle?

Holly Hamilton is testing

a driverless pod for

us this morning.

Horley, good morning.

Good morning.

Welcome to the future -- Holly. Who

knew it was in south London? It's

not a Formula 1 car, is it? It's not

the fanciest or the fastest but it's

definitely the future. It works with

sensors, there's no need for a track

or infrastructure, it works

completely autonomously and that's

why it is the complete cutting edge

of driverless cars. It isn't Lewis

Hamilton cruising along here but he

does know this route pretty well,

he's been using it for just over a

year, and the idea of this trial is

not to be testing how he works but

it's to find out how you at home

perceive it, do you like the idea of

a driverless car, would you use one,

will you accept it has something to

get from A to B? This trial has been

finding out, thousands have been

trying to get involved so there's

definitely a level of interest but

do you like it? Are people prepared

to sign up and use something like

this or actually would you rather

put the brakes on it? We will find

out later

little as we head into the early

part of next week then it looks like

it could get cooler midweek onwards.

I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom

in half an hour.

Now, though, it's back

to Dan and Louise.

Bye for now.

Hello - this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

We'll bring you the headlines

in a moment, but still

to come this morning.

There's just 2 weeks to go

until the UK's biggest companies

have to reveal their

gender pay gaps.

Steph will be taking us

through those that have already

published their figures.

Fresh from their record

breaking medal haul

at the Paralympics,

skier Menna Fitzpatrick

and her guide Jen

Kehoe will be here.

And we've got more Olympic golds,

Charlotte Dujardin is the girl

on the dancing horse,

we'll be talking about life

after Valegro - her triple

gold medal winning horse

whose now retired.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

More than a million NHS staff are

poised for a pay rise for a deal

that could be worth as much as £4

billion being announced by the

government at lunchtime today. The

BBC understands health bosses and

unions have reached an agreement

which marks an end of the 7- year

and boosts the salary of nurses,

porters and paramedics but not

doctors.

Facebook will be questioned

by politicians in Washington today -

as the company comes under growing

pressure to explain how data from 50

million users was used

by a British Company

during the US presidential election.

It's alleged that Cambridge

Analytica used the data

to target voters and influence

the election outcome.

That company's chief executive,

Alexander Nix, has been suspended.

Both firms deny any wrongdoing.

The Royal Air Force has confirmed

that a member of its Red Arrows

aerobatic team has died

in a crash in North Wales.

The engineer was killed when a Hawk

jet came down near the RAF Valley

base on Anglesey yesterday.

The pilot who is injured

and receiving medical care

managed to eject.

The jet came down shortly

after taking off on a routine

flight, there are no details

about the cause of the crash.

A group of MP's is warning

of government 'complacency' when it

comes to security co-operation

with the EU after Brexit.

The all-party Home

Affairs Committee says

the transition period which has

recently been agreed may need to be

extended if public safety

is not to be compromised.

They say it's down to the complexity

of issues such as data sharing,

the European Arrest Warrant

and Europol membership.

The government could face

an additional bill of 300 million

pounds after underpaying

benefit claims.

The shortfall in the

Employment and Support

allowance payment, the main sickness

handout, was predicted to cost

the government £500 million.

But the National Audit Office says

the true cost could be as high

as £830 million.

Ministers say they're committed

to correcting the mistakes

and are aiming to repay

everybody by April 2019.

We think what this highlights is the

need for the Department to take

underpayments very seriously indeed

and hopefully department will learn

from this episode about the need to

do root cause analysis and properly

understand why they are fighting

problems and take actions to make

sure they take a systematic approach

to make sure people are paid exactly

what they are entitled to.

President Trump is rumoured to have

ignored warnings from his advisers

not to congratulate Vladimir Putin

on his re-election. Mr Trump went

against his advisers and was given a

briefing note with an words, "Do not

congratulate" in capital letters.

Talk about springing a leak -

these pictures are of a water main

break in University City

near San Diego yesterday.

Local reports said a contractor

hit a 6-inch-diameter

blowoff valve connected to a water

main causing the leak which saw

water shoot up above

the Californian highway.

The break shut down the road

for roughly 30 minutes while crews

worked to shut off the water.

As you can imagine, it shut down the

road for about 30 minutes. Only 30

minutes.

minutes. Anyway, they got it under

control as far as we know. Waking up

in the morning would be much easier.

We are talking about England, all

attention the paper seems to be

turning to the World Cup. The

press's first chance to have a look

and stop the build-up to the World

Cup in this summer.

84 days. The

counting down? A going to Russia? If

we are allowed. All the talk as

well, each paper has picked a

goalkeeper to talk to. He's worked

in various shops. Coming up through

the leagues. Now he's in contention

to the Englandfirst goalkeeper.

It's rare going into a major

tournament that England don't

have a nailed down Goalkeeper,

but that seems to be the case ahead

of this summer's world cup.

Joe Hart, Jordan Pickford

and Nick Pope are all competing

for that spot in net.

The squad is preparing

for an international friendly double

header against the Netherlands

on Friday, and Italy next Tuesday.

Hart has 75 caps for England,

but says he's hungrier than ever

to be the first-choice.

It's obvious he going to mean

everything. So many people who have

the same feeling as me and we are

all fighting in pushing in the same

direction to be a part of it and we

will see that at the moment, you got

to live in the present and a hold on

to the most important game.

So Hart wants the Number 1 shirt,

but so does new-boy Nick Pope,

whose performances for Burnley this

season have seen many tip him

as a future first-choice.

It's been an incredible journey

for the 25-year-old,

who used to be a milkman.

One of the journalists in his press

conference couldn't resist asking

whether England's latest goalkeeping

prodigy dropped any bottles

on his milk run...

No, I was clean. On the float,

Electric.

What's the best thing

about being an England player?

Can I

call myself that if I've not played?

OK. I think it's just the honour.

The moment from Thursday to be

around people who have been there

from the start. People have

travelled the journey with me. It

was something I will never forget. I

love that it's known as a clean

round if you don't drop a bottle.

Brazil is training in Moscow are a

friendly against Russia but they are

without their star player Neymar.

Some flash photography here. He is

out of action with a fractured foot.

As you can see, this is him arriving

at a club in Sao Paulo. It's not all

doom and gloom. He is recovering

from a black shirt -- fractured toe.

Chelsea travel and Manchester City

are looking to end a run of three

matches without a win. They host

Swedish champions Linkopings.

We did our homework on them and they

are a really good team and they have

done well in Swedish football for a

while so it's going to be a big game

and tough opponents. It would be

nice to have a home game. It's been

hard, but the home support, with a

great support and great fans and we

love having them at home so very

excited.

Heather Watson's miserable run of

form and is. She was beaten by the

Brazilian, her sixth straight

defeat. Defending champion Joanna

Konta has a buy into Round 2.

With snooker's World Championship

in Sheffield just a month away,

Ronnie O'Sullivan's gearing up

nicely as he bids for a 6th title

at the Crucible.

He's through to

the quarter-finals of

the Players Championship after a 6-1

victory over Graeme Dott.

The Rocket rarely looked troubled -

He'll face China's Ding Junhui

in the last eight in Llandudno.

Finally, take a look at this. A

ratty from the badminton

championship. Women's doubles match.

We've had to speed it up because

they're in mind, the average rally

Lankan badminton is about 13 shots

but these four get up to 102

apparently. You get into something

like this. The competitive element

is lost because you want to keep it

going. Have you ever had that? Like

that episode of

that episode of Friends were they

throw the ball and they realise it's

been a long time.

Christmas 2015 was when Nadja Ensink

should have been celebrating

when celebrating

the birth of her baby.

Instead she was mourning

the murder of her husband -

who'd been stabbed to

death as he posted cards

announcing their news.

Days earlier, his killer

Femi Nandap had knife

offence charges dropped

despite concerns over

his mental health.

Now desperate for answers,

Nadja will finally hear an inquest

into whether there were

failings in the system.

But she's had a battle

to ensure her concerns get heard

in court - as Jayne

McCubbin reports.

there were three police officers

standing in front of our door.

I

immediately noticed the homicide

detective to the left. And then,

this massive bomb and there was

nothing.

A man who was stabbed in

Auckland this afternoon...

Mentally

all young man has admitted stabbing

a university lecturer to death...

This was the last photo taken of

Nadja's husband, an hour before he

was killed. 11 days after Fleur was

born, she stepped outside to post

the birth notices. He was stabbed

metres from his front door.

She

knows other kids have dads.

You try

to talk to her?

Every day. There are

pictures all over the house. She

just walks down the street and says

the look, mummy, daddy is in my

heart. Those are moments where your

heart breaks. At the same time, he

is with us.

I think you've got it.

Today, Femi Nandap is serving an

indefinite sentence at Broadmoor

Hospital for manslaughter but why

were charges against him for an

earlier knife offence dropped on the

advice of the CPS six days before he

killed? And why were serious

concerns passed to police about his

mental health never acted upon.

These are questions Nadja hopes an

inquest will answer but while the

police and CPS will have legal

representation at the inquest, paid

far from the public purse, she has

been refused legal aid.

And without

legal representation, I'd be able to

get the answer is that we need. As

it is not important enough, as if we

don't count. We need to have the

answers. We need to have the answers

so this won't happen again.

The Met

told us while there was no

misconduct, there had been areas of

learning. The CPS admitted the case

against the previous night offence

should never have been discontinued.

But while they have limitless

resources to go into inquest this

summer, Nadja is left to crowd fund

to pay for legal representation.

This is seen as an inequality of

arms by many. The Ministry of

Justice told us it is committed to

reviewing the situation for breach

families but that review is delayed.

They have all the resources, we

don't.

You are relying on the

kindness of strangers now.

We do.

So

incredibly grateful for them and I

feel everyone is behind us and they

want the answer is as much as we do.

With all this going on, I still

believe in the goodness of people.

Because it's out there.

But I don't

believe in the system.

So many difficulties faced by Nadja

and Jane will be here on the sofa to

go through some of those issues

raised by that particular case.

Carol has the weather.

It is a cold start to the day for

most, and also a frosty one. It is

-5 under clear skies in Katesbridge,

in Northern Ireland, but if you have

cloud, like the Outer Hebrides, the

temperature at the moment is seven

so quite a marked difference.

Generally under those clear skies it

is a cold and a frosty start through

the day. We have a lot of cloud at

the moment in parts of Scotland and

Northern Ireland, obviously not

where I mentioned, clear skies in

Katesbridge, and in northern

England, especially Northumberland.

Through the day a weather front

responsible for the cloud and patchy

light rain and drizzle will continue

to sink south, taking the cloud with

it and turning the sunshine that bit

hazy. First thing as well as being a

cold start it will be a beautiful

one in England and Wales, with

sunshine, however our weather front

sinking south bringing rain in

Scotland and Northern Ireland, and

as the cloud continues its journey

south, we could see patchy light

rain and drizzle in parts of England

and Wales but certainly it will turn

the sunshine hazier, hanging on to

the sunshine for the longest in the

far south-east. Temperature wise,

we're looking at between seven and

11, maybe 12 in Aberdeen, then later

in the day as the front sinks south

of the far north will brighten up.

As we had through the evening and

overnight, a fair bit of cloud

around, still splashes of showery

rain in the north-west and a few

breaks -- as we head. This morning

where we have the breaks we could

see patchy mist and fog. But

tomorrow morning there will be

warmer temperatures. Today, freezing

or below, tomorrow, we're not

looking at any problems with frost.

The only place we may see it is in

south-west England and also Wales,

but that should be it. Tomorrow we

start with drizzly rain, possibly

through Yorkshire, Lancashire and

East Anglia and the south-east, that

will clear and a lot of bright

weather and fair amounts of sunshine

but the cloud again building in from

the west. We've got a more active

weather front coming in from the

Atlantic producing again heavier

bouts of rain and strengthening

winds. Look at the temperatures,

we're looking at easily double

figures in many parts of the

country. By the time we get to

Friday we will slowly lose the rain

from Eastern counties of England and

Scotland but it loops around and we

see heavier rain in the north-west

with hill snow. The other thing

you'll notice is this band of rain

in the south-west. Still a question

as to its northern extent, still

windy in the north, but temperature

wise, still not too bad for this

stage in France.

Thanks very much, Carol, see you

later.

There are just two weeks to go

before the deadline for Britain's

biggest companies to submit figures

showing their gender pay gap.

Steph's here with more details.

This is for companies for 250

employees or more and the companies

that have these employees in the UK

-- with. They need to publish the

difference between what they pay men

and women. Their average earnings.

Lots of percentage figures are

coming out on this.

Of the companies that have

submitted their data so far three

quarters pay men more than women.

Airlines reported some

of the biggest pay gaps so far.

For every pound a woman earns a

Manuel are one point to of pounds.

That's the UK figure. -- a Manuel

turn £1.20. -- Emmanuel Eboue and.

EasyJet were one of the worst,

paying men 46% more than women.

They say that's partly because most

of their pilots are men,

distorting the figures.

Of the UK's biggest

companies BT, Diageo

and Unilever,

the maker of brands

like Marmite and Domestos,

all paid women more

than men about 1% more.

Not a huge difference but women

getting more with those companies.

Sam Smethers is the chief executive

of the Fawcett Society.

There are some really quite

considerable gaps between what women

and men are turning in some of our

household names around the country,

and what that tells us is these

organisations need to put an action

plan in place so they can start to

address the problem. We need to move

from publishing the numbers to

putting a plan in place and what we

have to have is transparency in page

because if we don't have

transparency we can't have equality.

This isn't the fault completely of

companies, it is historical issue as

well, women have often done jobs men

don't want to do. This is a job from

schools to boardrooms to make sure

young people no matter their gender

or background doesn't affect them

getting the same opportunities.

What's interesting is how

information like that, seeing it,

can dry change.

It is. -- drive

change.

If you want to see all the figures

published so far you can go

to the BBC website.

You can also type in the name

of your company to see if they've

submitted their pay gap.

Thank you very much, see you later.

Pressure is mounting on Facebook

after revelations that the personal

data of 50 million users has

been harvested and sold

to a British firm.

It's alleged Cambridge Analytica

used that data to target voters

during the 2016 American election.

In response, people have been

deleting their accounts,

but if you still want to use

Facebook is there a way

to guarantee your private

data stays private?

Dan Sodergren is a tech

and marketing expert.

Good morning.

Good morning.

So many

people will be waking up this

morning over the last few days while

this has been going on thinking,

what's happened to my data, do we

know?

We do know, there's a couple

of things, we have to be careful

when we say what's happened to their

data. Number one this is in America

with 50 million users and we have to

be careful when we think of data

breaches, a lot of people in tech

will say data is the new oil but

it's more, located than that. With

oil you can move it around and it

can be breached, what has happened

is someone has made an app -- more

complicated than that. It is e-mail

addresses and things, it's more

likely to be their psychological

profile. The psycho graphics. We

have to be careful, we're not saying

50 million e-mails have been stolen,

we don't know that's not the case

either, but we know the

psychological profiling, which Dan

Sodergren -- Cambridge Analytica has

used, it's not like oil you can

take, it is like a gas. Human beings

give off data, the clothes I wear

and how I speak our datapoints. If

you're on Facebook you give away

this information all the time. Who

you like and what you listen to is

all about where the money is.

You

are on Facebook and you saw a

third-party app saying would you

like to take this quiz or IQ test

and via you put in your information

in about your friends and what you

like and what you think of a certain

situation, that can be used to tell

Facebook and others...

It's not

Facebook, we have to be careful, it

isn't Facebook looking at this.

Facebook is worth billions of pounds

and makes between 40... $4 and $40

per user and it has 2 billion users,

so a lot of money from the data and

the ability to sell this to

advertisers. If you're not buying a

product online then you are the

product, you are basically being

sold because your data and the

information Facebook has about you,

and Google and Amazon, not just

Facebook, the micro- targeting they

can do is gold for marketeers. It is

like the democratisation of

advertising, it's amazing what you

can do. But you can use that never

variously unfortunately and what

Cambridge Analytica have done is use

this particularly -- the variously.

From the point of view of users,

should this make you think about

certain things and what might you

want to change?

You are saying that,

look at the apps you have and the

personality tests you have done ages

ago.

You wouldn't even remember,

though.

You wouldn't remember, no,

the kind of Pokemon Go character you

might be. Define the information and

it's not about the Pokemon Go

character that they find. -- they

find. They look at your friends

results and your friends of friends

results and they can then look at

the information they have on you and

this is called data mining. This is

worth billions. Check your apps. If

you haven't already check your

personal settings, is it always on

public. Then check to your friends

with because if you're not really

friends with them, do you need 1000

friends? -- check who your friends

with.

You can pay a

with.

You can pay a company to

protect you?

You can then download

your data to give to advertisers.

There's been a Thames to do this

where you create social media where

you pay per play -- there's been

attempts. There's a lot of other

tech companies. Let's not throw the

baby out with the bathwater. There's

another good tech companies that

aren't selling your data.

People

share so much, what about generous

sharing?

Generous or over sharing.

It says get Rich or try sharing on a

T-shirt I have. We are getting

Facebook very rich by over sharing.

If you're sharing pictures, they

have algorithms that know where your

face is and your facial like

ignition software. If you're doing

that for your friends then we might

be over sharing photos too much,

which is why Facebook bought

Instagram, they also bought

WhatsApp. If you're talking about

stuff on WhatsApp then other people

can't see that but does that mean

Facebook can't?

Simony questions.

A

whole new world.

Regulation -- so

many questions.

Regulation is going

to be key, we have to turn it from

the wild West to manageable for

society but we have to be digitally

mindful about what we're doing.

Plenty to think about this morning.

Now, you might remember when Maya,

the ten week old jaguar,

came

to the studio.

What a beautiful animal.

Unfortunately she's now

too big to come back,

but we'll catch up with how she's

doing and how fast she's growing.

That's after 9am.

That's ahead of a new BBC Two series

called Big Cats in the House.

Slightly disappointed she is too big

but it is probably a good idea,

could be carnage!

Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

Bye for now.

Hello this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin

A pay rise for more

than a million NHS staff

Nurses, porters and paramedics

are among those expected to be

offered wage increases

of around 6% over 3 years.

New claims that personal data

from Facebook was used by a British

firm to influence the American

presidential election -

the academic at the centre

of the row tells the BBC he's been

made a scapegoat.

Honestly, we thought we were acting

perfectly appropriately. We thought

we were doing something normal.

An investgation begins

into the cause of a Red Arrows jet

crash which killed an engineer

and left the pilot injured.

The Church of England will start

taking contactless payments

at thousands of churches

and cathedrals across the country.

I'll have more later.

In sport, it's friendlies

week for England.

And its the clash of the keepers -

4 candidates go to head to head

to be the first choice at this

summer's World Cup in Russia.

And Carol has the weather.

Good morning. It's a cold and frosty

start today for many of us but for

England and Wales, sunny one. Cloud

is building in from the north-west,

turning the sunshine hazy. A bit

more cloud of youth and Northern

Ireland. More details on 15 minutes.

More than a million NHS staff

are poised for a pay rise -

with a deal that could be worth

as much as 4 billion pounds

being announced by lunch time today.

The BBC understands that

health bosses and unions

have

reached an agreement that will mark

an end to a 7-year cap and boost

the salaries of workers including

nurses, porters and paramedics

but not doctors.

Our political correspondent

Iain Watson is in Westminster.

It sounds like a lot of money. How

meaningful is this for people?

It

will mean different things to

different people. When the police

and prison officers were given an

increase above the pay, the public

sector pay was lifted so there is

pressure on the government to try

and give other public service

workers and increase as well. This

will be a significant departure from

what has been eight years of pay

restraint, increases averaging

around 1%. Now we are told that on

average, in the NHS, what work is

likely to be getting over the next

three years is a pay increase of

six, six .5% on average. But

significantly, those amongst the

lowest paid will get much bigger

increases. At its greatest, that

could see an uplift to some staff of

30% over the next three years. Sober

example, hospital porters that start

at around £15,000 or is cleaning

staff could see their salaries go up

to around £19,000 per year by the

end of this period. This is going to

be phased in over the next three

years. On average, that 6% figure is

beneath the current rate of

inflation. If you take it over a

three-year period. Lots of people

will be making their own individual

decisions about how much they will

benefit. Nonetheless, from the

government's point of view, a

significant investment. What the

unions have been asking for is a

guarantee that this money will will

be additional funding, not from

elsewhere in the health service. My

understanding is that it will be the

case although what they are asking

for is some changes to the annual

increments people might get on our

pay and Nelson to bring the levels

of sick leave in the NHS down. Some

of the suggestions have been kicking

around.

Facebook will be questioned

by politicians in Washington today -

as the company comes under growing

pressure to explain how data from 50

million accounts was used

by a British Company

during the US presidential election.

It's alleged that Cambridge

Analytica used the data

to target voters and influence

the election outcome.

That company's chief executive,

Alexander Nix, has been suspended.

Both firms deny any wrongdoing.

Simon Jones reports.

Facebook held a crisis

meeting today...

An international row about Facebook

data making headlines in the States

and in London, home

to the consultancy, Cambridge

Analytica.

That company is accused

of using the personal data of 50

million Facebook users to send

highly targeted messages

during the 2016 US

election campaign.

Secret filming by Channel 4 News

shows Cambridge Analytica's boss,

Alexander Nix, boasting

about the role it played

in Donald Trump's victory.

The company has denied the Facebook

information was used

for this purpose.

It said Mr Nix's comments do to not

represent the values of the firm.

He has been suspended.

The Cambridge academic who created

the data that was

harvested and has been

banned from Facebook says

that he has been targeted.

I have been used as a scapegoat

by Cambridge Analytica.

We thought we were acting

perfectly appropriately,

we thought we were doing

something normal.

Facebook says it did break rules

by donating data to third parties

and is outraged to have been

deceived by Cambridge Analytica.

pressure from politicians.

The Royal Air Force has confirmed

that an engineer in its Red Arrows

aerobatic team has died

in a crash in North Wales.

The engineer was killed when a Hawk

jet came down near the RAF Valley

base on Anglesey yesterday.

The pilot who is injured

and receiving medical care

managed to eject.

The jet came down shortly after

taking off on a routine flight.

You can still see police cars. The

investigation could come yesterday

and continue this morning. Certainly

I reported that as the plane left

the Valley on the way back to

Lincolnshire, it seems to have first

looped back towards the base is that

it needed to go back and make a

landing and it also seemed to wobble

as it came in towards the ground. We

don't know whether the wobbling was

due to fall.

due to fall. As seen before, the RAF

has asked for a period of grace

before it reveals any more details.

The crash shows the risks that

service people take on a daily basis

and the service of their country.

Britain could be sleepwalking into a

crisis. The Home Affairs Committee

says it is down to the complexity of

issues like datasharing, European

Arrest Warrants and Europol

membership. It could mean the

recently agreed transition period

needs to be extended.

Membership of the EU means the UK

enjoys access to valuable police

data bases, the European

Arrest Warrant scheme

and the services of Europol.

The government says it is optimistic

about negotiating just as good

a deal for when we leave,

but after taking evidence

from people from the National

Crime Agency and other

organisations which relying on EU

security corporation,

an all-party committee of MPs says

it does not share that optimism.

We are worried that a security

treaty will not be signed

and implemented in time

for when the transition period ends

and that could leave us

without proper extradition

arrangements if people flee justice

and flee from crimes,

but also without access to criminal

data that the police properly need.

Access to EU-wide data systems

and the resources of Europol depend

on legal obligations underpinned

by the European Court of Justice.

The UK has said being outside

the European courts jurisdiction

is a red line,

but the MPs say the government

should not be too rigid on such

matters if it wants

to get a good deal.

And they reckon the complex

technical and legal issues

mean both sides need to be ready

to extend the two-year transition

before Brexit kicks in.

Accusing the government

of complacency, the committee warns

the UK could be sleepwalking

into a security crisis.

Vulnerable mental health patients

are being let down because of the

treatments. A new report out today

identifies a number of issues with

some mental health trusts that could

lead to patients suffering distress,

harm or even dying. Richard West

joins us, his son David died after

being released from a mental health

unit without a plan in place and a

robber barons as the health

ombudsman. I want to talk you first.

-- Rob Behrens. What are your

conclusions, Richard?

Thank you for

inviting me. My son died in October

20 13. He was released and they

didn't consider any statutory duties

that they had under section 117 of

the Mental Health Act to look at his

situation before they released him.

They should have looked at his

housing, where he was going to go,

what he was going to do. That is

unfortunately what did happen.

Do

you feel that if things had been

done differently, this might have

had a different ending?

I think they

should have supported him and that

would have made a significant

difference but they didn't.

The

report is pretty damning of health

service trusts. Why our mental

health patients being let down? The

report brings to light a number of

cases like the ones we have seen. It

needs to be emphasised that that is

not the generality of mental

healthcare. We are talking about a

small but Berry significant case

that goes wrong. Result of the

failure by the trusts to diagnose

properly to communicate with

patience and crucially, and this is

absolutely

absolutely fundamental, to respect

the human rights and dignity of

patients. The NHS Constitution makes

clear that should be at the heart of

everything in the NHS does. The

reports are two years old and the

government has prioritised

mental-health.

mental-health.

We have looked at a

2- year period. We can't say whether

the strategy is making a difference.

We'll be looking at that in terms of

cases reporting again. The cases we

looked at will be reviewed over the

last two years. 200 cases like the

one that Mr West has just described.

Unacceptable and today's health

service.

I wanted to ask you the

same question. Is there a particular

problem with mental health patients?

Mental health services have

Mental health services have

immensely challenging tasks to

undertake. I've visited a number of

mental health trusts and hospitals

and seen the care and in many

respects it is excellent, but they

are dealing with very difficult

situations with people in crisis who

are vulnerable and there is a threat

of violence to staff. Where people

are detained there is the constant

threat of drugs being brought in and

misused, and it's very challenging

for the staff who look after mental

health patients, particularly where

you have 10% vacancies.

Richard,

shall I put that question to you as

well? Is there a particular problem

from what you've seen with mental

health patients?

I think they're not treated as

fairly as ordinary physical health

problems and in the case of my son

there were multiple failings. If you

look at the situation now, he died

five years ago, if you look at the

situation today, they use quite a

lot of out of area is dead in this

region which is costing up to £5

million over the last financial year

-- out of areas bed.

That puts a strain on the patients

travelling. It puts strain on the

relations seeing them and it puts

strain on the community. We want

more community support and help to

get them well against white Richard,

thank you.

Rob, do you welcome the news, which

is our main story today, about the

pay increases at the NHS announced

at midday?

I don't want to comment

on that, I'm the ombudsman. That's

not my responsibility but the

five-year plan and the strategy

going forward means staffing issues

and vacancy issues need to be

addressed, and the issue of using

agency staff and double shifts has

to be addressed and in that context

it is significant that pay award has

been made.

Thanks for your time this

morning.

morning. The chief executive of

Southern health have said I am sorry

about the mistakes and I accept our

failure for not looking after him

better.

It's been a chilly start this

morning, let's look at the weather

with Carol.

It's a chilly start for many areas.

If you're in Katesbridge in Northern

Ireland, that's the lowest

temperature, along with Topcliffe in

North Yorkshire, -5. That's where we

have clear skies but under the cloud

in the Outer Hebrides, Harris is

currently sitting at seven so a real

difference. You can see on the

satellite picture where we have the

cloud. The cloud is mainly in

Scotland and Northern Ireland and

Northumberland. As we go through the

day the front reducing the cloud

will continue to go steadily south,

eradicating the bright blue skies we

currently have in parts of England

and Wales and turning the sunshine

hazy. As it comes in where looking

at some rain, the rain mostly light

and patchy, drizzly here and there,

not everyone seeing it but it will

move across Northern Ireland and

parts of Scotland -- we're looking

at. Sinking south in England and

Wales. We could see patchy light

rain and drizzle here but we won't

all see it Stoppila Sunzu I'm

hanging on for the longest in the

far south-east of England and

temperatures not in bad shape,

between seven and 11, possibly 12 in

Aberdeen -- seeing it. Sunshine

hanging on. The sunshine sinks

south. Showery outbreaks of rain in

north-west Scotland. Where the cloud

breaks, especially in southern

areas, we could see some patchy mist

and fog forming, like in the

morning. Temperature wise it's

different to what we currently have,

not as cold tomorrow morning. At the

moment we have temperature is widely

freezing or below, tomorrow that

won't be the case. We start tomorrow

with the remnants of today's front

in parts of eastern England, the

south-east and East Anglia --

temperatures widely. Increasingly

the sunshine turning hazy from the

west as a new weather front comes

our way. The cloud ahead of the

weather front building and we have a

more organised band of rain coming

into the west and some of that will

be heavy, possibly with snow on the

highest ground in Scotland.

Temperatures away from that not bad,

12, 11 quite widely in the UK. As we

head on into Friday, that system

pushes into eastern areas,

eventually clearing, but if you

follow it around it's the wraparound

around an area of low pressure and

we have more rain coming into the

north-west with hill snow. At the

same time we have more rain coming

in across the south-west. The

northern extent of the rain is open

to question but quite a windy day,

particularly in the north, away from

those bands of rain we have hazy

sunshine with highs of up to 11.

It's a while since we have heard

about highs like that.

Let's look at some of the front

pages. Let's start with the Times,

British day firm offered £1 million

bribe to turn election, this is

Cambridge Analytica, the front page

of many of the papers this morning.

A picture of Alexander Nix,

suspended last night by Cambridge

Analytica as Jeep executive.

Different takes on the macro and

Facebook story, this is from the

Guardian, they have looked at the

Channel 4 investigation which has

revealed the different bits of

information, day firm breaking of a

role in Trump victory. This is a

picture of expelled diplomats and

their families outside the embassy

in London before they went to

Heathrow to be flown home.

Heathrow to be flown home. -- data

firm breaking. -- bragging. We're

talking about the NHS and those pay

rises, at least for some in the NHS

today. This is a different part of

that, a blueprint to transform care

for the elderly unveiled yesterday

by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt

saying they were too often treated

as tasks are made to do list by a

rotating cast of helpers. This is a

picture Steph highlighted this

morning, incredible, a sparrowhawk

versus a Starling. The guy who took

this, Terry Stevenson, said he

didn't see whether the Starling

survived. They were disturbed by a

pedestrian, they went under a bush,

but lots of people are looking at

sparrowhawks doing things similar to

other birds.

We don't know if the

Starling got away.

We don't know.

But look at the eyes.

Terrifying.

There's quite a lot of chat about

wedding cakes this morning because

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have

abandoned the old favourite,

fruitcake, and they're going to have

an organically sourced lemon and

elderflower creation, which is

unusual, I've never had that before.

Lots of the papers going with

pictures of previous royal wedding

cakes. Look at these, the intricacy

and the artwork and the skills

involved are just absolutely

staggering.

Can we talk about socks

later? There's one other story I

want to talk about, the banning of

socks.

Excellent.

It's nine months since

the Grenfell Tower fire.

Today, preliminary hearings

into the tragedy continue

before the main

inquiry begins in May.

The cladding on the tower has been

pinpointed as a reason the blaze

spread so quickly, and it forced

local authorities across the UK

to test cladding

on similar properties.

301 buildings didn't meet current

building regulations

and Salford was one

of the local authorities

with the highest failure rate.

Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been

to meet some residents waiting

for cladding to be removed.

Nine months after the fire

at Grenfell Tower, the cladding

on Thorn Court in Salford

is still in place.

We first filmed here

in August last year.

This is our lives that they

are messing about with,

and we are potentially

living in a death trap,

all of us.

It's failed all the tests,

so no matter what

they say, you feel uneasy now.

Today the residents remain angry,

frustrated, afraid.

A lot of people are quite

frightened because if you

look out of your window,

you see smoke, and you see a fire

creeping up the building...

You feel as if you're

in a melting pot, you know?

Do you think the council

is taking this seriously?

No, because if they were

they'd have started work

on this by now.

In the days after the fire

at Grenfell every tower

block in the country over

18 metres was checked.

The latest government figures show

in all 301 buildings

have the same type of cladding
