A full forecast coming up inis minutes. First our main story. The Prime Minister will admit today that students and their families have serious concerns about the cost of university. Theresa may will launch an independent review into Higher Education finance in england, saying many courses are notjudged to give value for money. Universities are free to charge up to £9,000 a year, depending on the course, however only a handful charge less than the maximum. Graduates in england now leave university with average debts of more than £50,000. Thats because Interest Rates on Student Loans now stand at 6. 1 . 0ur Political Correspondent ben wright is in westminster. Ben, what has the reaction been in westminster to this review . Certainly people will want to know what will happen. This issue of rising student debt and our universities should be funded had become a huge political issue and the tories are in a real tangle about it. A number of reasons. The labour party has pledged to scrap tuition fees completely in england and that has changed the political debate. The conservatives are having to come up with a response to a policy which has proved unsurprisingly hugely popular among stu d e nts unsurprisingly hugely popular among students but also parents and grandparents and theresa may will talk about those parents and grandparents, potential tory voters who are concerned about student debt. That is why this is an issue the government feel they have to group now that its very complicated. This will look at the whole system of fees and loans and work out whether its currently penalise in poorer students or not, whether the fee cap that currently exists should be lowered further and how universities might be compensated if these are reduced. Complicated, many tory mps divided about how to go about this. We will be talking about this throughout the programme. We will be speaking to the education secretary damian hinds after 7 30. 0xfam has made public its internal report into the Sexual Misconduct of some of its staff in haiti in 2011. The report reveals that three of the men involved threatened witnesses during the investigation. It also suggests 0xfam bosses ignored a recommendation that better ways should be found to inform other charities about problem staff. Heres our Diplomatic Correspondent, James Landale. In the way of the earthquake in haiti in 2010, seven of the 0xfam staff left because of unacceptable behaviour. An internal report shows one was dismissed and three resigned to using prostitutes on 0xfam premises. Two more dismissed for bullying and intimidation, one of whom are also downloaded pornography. And another man was sacked for failing to protect staff. The report says three of the suspects suspects physically threatened witnesses during the investigation. The document makes various recommendations including finding better mechanisms for informing other aid agencies about so called problem staff. This is something 0xfam appears to have ignored as the Charities Directory and haiti went to work for another Aid Organisation in bangladesh, even though the charity says he resigned for using prostitutes. Parts of the reports are blacked out to protect identities but 0xfam says it has given an unredacted copy to ministers whom senior members of the charity will meet later today. A film about a mother seeking justice for her daughters murder scooped five prizes at the bafta film awards last night. The theme ofjustice and equality for women dominated the event, with most guests wearing black to show solidarity with campaigns against abuse and harassment. 0ur entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba was there.

Played by Frances Mcdormand, who won best actress, looking to justicelj have a little trouble with compliance. But i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. Power to the people. The movie, which won a total of five factors, captured onscreen feelings and sentiments felt by women around the world. Best actor went to british star gary 0ldman to his betrayal of Winston Churchill in World War Two drama the darkest hour. And best director was won by Guillermo Del Toro for the shape of water, starring Sally Hawkins as a woman in love with a mysterious water creature. And the winner of the Rising Star Award was britains daniel kaluuya. He thanked the woman in particular. Thank you, mum. You are the reason i keep going and this is yours. The past few yea rs, and this is yours. The past few years, the baftas and the oscars have not agreed on best picture but this 2018 or school race is the most openin this 2018 or school race is the most open in years and the boating starting on the other side of the atlantic, many will be saying that the strong showing of three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri tonight might, just might, give it the edge at the Academy Awards in march. We should be talking to various guests. Employers are in the dark ages when it comes to attitudes to pregnant workers and those planning to have children according to the equality and Human Rights Commission. Theyve released new research today, looking into pregnancy and maternity discrimination in the workplace. Steph joins us now with the results. They dont survey of 1000 employers. More than half of employers think that a woman should disclose in the recruitment process whether she is pregnant or not. At the moment, the current roles as you can be asked you are pregnant when youre in an interview but it cant be discriminated for it. If you are pregnant and you are asked and you dont get the job, you could take them to an employment tribunal. So thatis them to an employment tribunal. So that is why many people dont ask in interviews. If you look at women who have had babies and are in work, they say women who have had more than one pregnancy, 44 of them, employers who are asked, say they are a burden. They can be a burden oii are a burden. They can be a burden on the workplace. They say 32 of mothers unless engaged when they come back. They feel that they are not concentrating perhaps as hard as people who dont have children. And there are various other statistics as well. I am sure there are lots of working women out there who would be livid at some of the attitudes in the survey. Thats why the equality and Human Rights Commission has said they were in the dark ages with this. There are lots of women who are working very hard with children and think its wrong that they discriminate. We will be talking to some working mums and somebody from the commission. And there are clear laws as well. 0lympics Officials Say a doping case involving a russian curler at the winter games would be extremely disappointing if proved true. Its understood the athlete reported to be mixed doubles bronze medallist Alexander Krushelnitsky is currently in seoul awaiting the results of a second sample after allegedly testing positive for the banned substance meldonium. Russia was nominally banned from the Pyeongchang Games for state sponsored doping in sochi four years ago. Former shareholders in the collapsed construction and Services Firm we will have some highlights that later. It is quite a weekend. I might have cried a little bit. Sport plus achievement equals guaranteed tea rs. Plus achievement equals guaranteed tears. Idid plus achievement equals guaranteed tears. I did enjoy it. Former shareholders in the collapsed construction and Services Firm carillion are calling for its management to be investigated. Some investors have told mps the companys executives must have known or should have known about its cash flow problems well before it went into liquidation last month. Heres our Business Correspondent joe lynam. Weve had a set up where people work in continued faithfully to work. There were people on the bridge of the company the company drawling their mega salaries but the shareholders taking a close look, as soon as shareholders taking a close look, as soon as they had a look and the smell, they ran for the hills. That was the real warning sign and none of the regulators seemed to be aware of the regulators seemed to be aware of what was happening. Dramatic footage has emerged showing two cars trying to ramraid a high end watch shop on a pedestrianised street. Men wearing balaclavas then followed up the botched attempt by trying in vain to smash the window of the rolex shop in leeds before speeding off empty handed as shoppers looked on. West Yorkshire Police said thereve been a numer of recent ram raids on jewellers in the city. Extraordinary pictures. Trying to look at what time of day that is. Extraordinary pictures.

Todayit today it is mild but also fairly cloudy in most areas and some rain, especially in eastern parts today. Best of the driest weather will be in the west. This morning for the rush hour weve got extensive cloud, you can see it pushing in on the satellite across much of the country. Thats brought bursts of rain in eastern parts of the uk as well. Western area is a bit drier, but if we look in closer detail, heavy bursts mixed into northern and eastern scotland and also Northern England. Where you have the rain, extensive hill fog, but in Northern Ireland and a few glimmers of mourning brightness to the west of wales, devon and cornwall but in east anglia, the south east and the Channel Islands can expect rain this morning to get you into work and some of that will keep going on and off all day. Murky where you have the rain with the extensive hill fog around. Through the day used in areas will hold onto the rain at times, the odd heavy burst, some of it like an patchy but in the west. North west scotland will see rain later on. Temperatures up on what we have seen of late. Rain in Northern Ireland and parts of scotland, heavy bursts in eastern scotland through the night and it stays damper through eastern parts of england.

Into wednesday, the cloud in parts of east anglia and the south east will drift back westwards in other southern counties of england and into south wales, could produce rain or drizzle here to ta ke could produce rain or drizzle here to take us into wednesday but not a huge amount. Most places will be dry and always a bit cloudy in the south, could be some breaks, not a bad day all day but northern half of the uk, scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England, dry and bright throughout with sunshine at times and for the time being we are sticking with a largely mild theme but as the wind picks up in southern areas coming from an easterly direction into wednesday, temperatures are set to drop once again.

She wore black to show solidarity of, for victims of harassment. Solidarity for. What have you got, steph . This is interesting, sir Phillip Craven has a huge retail empire, owns the likes of topshop, Dorothy Perkins and miss selfridge, hes in the business pages this morning because he is in talks to sell his stake in the Arcadia Group to chinese investors. Theres a fair bit of analysis going on in the background to say he needs to think about how pensioners will be protected in the sale of arcadia because like lots of companies, arcadia has a fair pensions deficit. You will remember the carry on with bhs, lots of people lost out because of that, now mps are thinking ahead of what they can make sure happens to insure that pensioners dont lose out if he does sell his stake to the chinese. Quite an interesting one from the retail world. Action from the Winter Olympics all over the papers. One of the main stories was the curling, complete hogwash is the headline in the daily mirror, where is var when you needed . A picture of eve muirhead, the gb skip, who was penalised for apparently Still Holding onto the stone. They have a hog line, theres a light on the stone. It is computergenerated, isnt it . Tellings equivalent of a no ball, if it is green, youre fine, she has said she has never done this before but apparently it was still touching the stone. She said we have got to move on but she tweeted a picture where she believes she wasnt touching the stone. She was delivering the final ball, final stone, so a really dramatic moment. She says she has to move on but it will be difficult. And Lizzy Yarnold, she was on breakfast yesterday, an incredible weekend. The most successful. Britains greatest ever winter olympian and she said she would rather be missing than be a celebrity, and she says after pyeongchang she would like to visit lots of schools, thats her priorities. She said she visited hundreds after sochi. And she said shes going to go on holiday as well. So glad look at this, a grieving lioness in one of the papers this morning. Having a Little Spring in their step because it has adopted a baby antelope. This is in namibia, her cubs were killed by a rival male lion and she filled the gap in her life by looking after the baby antelope and she has been protecting it from other lions who think, nice bit of lunch. This probably isnt going to end well . M probably isnt going to end well . M probably wont but for the moment it isa probably wont but for the moment it is a lovely tale and talking about food, did you know. This is interesting. Apparently if you are carrying a bit of extra timber, then it is good for you, long life milk. Yes if you want to live to your 905 put on weight and have a table every day. A couple of glasses of wine or beer every night while adding a couple of extra pounds could be the secret to living into your nineties. Im not making this up. A professor from the university of california looked at 1700 people and she said modest drinking and carrying extra pounds is connected with longer life. What is modest drinking . One or two glasses a night, steph. Life. What is modest drinking . One or two glasses a night, stephlj life. What is modest drinking . One or two glasses a night, steph. I was doing so well i will have the drinks best news ever i thought do you want to take that away . Im going to frame it see you later on, thank you. Basketball is one of britains most popular team sports at a Grassroots Level but its governing body says the elite game is facing an imminent funding crisis. Sports leaders say team gb may have to withdraw from International Competitions because they could run out of money by the end of march. Holly hamilton has been finding out more. Played by over 300,000 people every week, its the second most popular tea m week, its the second most popular team sport among 11 15 year olds in the uk. And with more than half from black, asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, basketball is also one of the most diverse and most inclusive. You just need a ball and a hoop really to play it. I Fund Accessible sport, its something you can teach yourself. Its something you dont normally think in social life you communicate with or have any association with but basketball is ju5t association with but basketball is just a common interest. Cant get enough of basketball, lovett, part of me, my life, who i am. While theres plenty of support and investment for those who play at Grassroots Level, in the elite level its a totally different ball game. Four years ago uk sport withdrew its Financial Support for british basketball, a decision based on the teams lack of olympic success. Now the organisation is facing the very real prospect that the cash could be about to run out. It inconceivable no one has made a step at the moment to enable us to function at least at a level that we could be competitive. If no one stepped up and nothing happens whats the future for british basketball . At senior level we would have to withdraw from competitions. And that would be devastating for both senior teams, the women, currently 21 in the world, arejoint teams, the women, currently 21 in the world, are joint top of a European Championship qualifying group and withdrawal could see them suspended for two years. We want to play on the world stage but we want to inspire the children to play as well, the Young Players to play and if theres nothing for them to come in after that then whats the point . Funding does put a restriction on Young Players. My parents found it difficult in terms of paying to play for your country, paying to travel, paying for kit. It does make it very difficult, especially when you cant fully afford it. When it comes to investment in sport in britain, this is what matters. Uk sport has a no compromise strategy of basing funding on olympic medals. And while that means sports like basketball miss out, its a policy thats proven to be hugely successful. The result is we have is we stretch it as far as we possibly can to cover as far as we possibly can to cover as many athletes and sports as we possibly can, but inevitably we run out at a particular point. Basketball in particular is a long way off even qualifying to be at the olympic games, let alone having medal potential. But theres a new generation still hoping to some day represent their country and that will need funding fast. The financial crisis goes now to westminster with politicians due to westminster with politicians due to debate the issue tomorrow. And with £1 million desperately needed to pay for eight teams for just with £1 million desperately needed to pay for eight teams forjust one year, the ball will be in their court. Holly hamilton, bbc news. A big issue for basketball, loads of basketball fa ns a big issue for basketball, loads of basketball fans will contact us this morning because its about keeping it going and making the next generation feel they can get into it. The Winter Olympics, lots of people will be trying to get into that now, dont you think . It is so inspiring . If youre trying to bring the next generation through, Lizzy Yarnold and laura deas winning in the skelton, a great track record, but we havent got wonderful skeleton track in the country, we have a star track but if you want to progress you have to go elsewhere. Its, coming up on breakfast what is going on . It was the critical flop that found its voice with the fans, we sent our reporter to sing along to the greatest showman. You would be able to sing because you havent seen the film but you already know the songs. My children wa nts to already know the songs. My children wants to go and see it, my wife wa nts to wants to go and see it, my wife wants to see it again and we have listened to the soundtrack on repeat in our house.

Theres been an increase ofjust 22 prison officers in london in the last 18 months despite a recruitment drive to raise numbers in the capital. The government announced at the end of 2016 that it intended to increase numbers across the country. The Prison Officers Association says the issue isnt with recruitment but keeping staff in the job. Rachel long worked at wandsworth prison, but left after less than 18 months. I think that recruitment is fine, theyre able to recruit people. At my training we had about 30 people just for those six weeks and out of all of them i think there is only five left in the prison service, which is insane. The ministry ofjustice says its on track to recruit 2,500 new prison officers. There are also plans for a retention strategy to help governors ensure experienced staff remain in the service.

Olympics Officials Say a doping case involving a russian curler at the winter games would be extremely disappointing if proved true. Its understood the athlete reported to be mixed doubles bronze medallist Alexander Krushelnitsky is currently in seoul awaiting the results of a second sample after allegedly testing positive for the banned substance meldonium. Russia was nominally banned from the Pyeongchang Games for state sponsored doping in sochi four years ago. Former shareholders in the collapsed construction and Services Firm carillion are calling for its management to be investigated. Some investors have told mps the companys executives must have known or should have known about its cash flow problems well before it went into liquidation last month. Weve had a set up where people work and continued faithfully to work. There were people on the bridge of the company drawling their mega salaries but those shareholders taking a close look, as soon as they had a look and a smell, they ran for the hills. That was the real warning sign and none of the regulators seemed to be aware of what was happening.

Rising from the water, and the birds gather to keep safe and warm. Its thought the pocket come together to Exchange Information about feeding sites. They are mesmerising, arent they . can imagine the twitch is out in force for that, wont they . The beautiful game turned ugly last night. But this match between vitoria and bahia had to be broken up vitoria and bahia had to be broken up after a brawl broke out. It started with a provocative dance in front of the home crowd by one of the players from bahia. It ended with a total of ten red cards. Nobody is mixing it around. It means they were to players on the pitch to finish the match so it had to be abandoned. Goodness me. Ten red cards absolutely staggering. You wouldnt even think you would have that many red cards in your pocket. You use the same one. Here is your card, here is your card. Of course, what an idiot at least i said it. Good morning. Day ten in pyeongchang, a busy day to the brits. No medal events, really. Well start with a busy few hours for british competitors at the Winter Olympics in pyeongchang, where the pair of penny coomes and Nick Buckland are through to the final of the ice dancing. Its a remarkable achievement for them, especially for coomes, who, less than two years ago was told she may never skate again after shattering her knee in an horrific accident. This is the routine that got them there. Christopher dean helped choreograph it. Penny and nick finished 10th. The top 20 competing tomorrows free dance when the medals are decided. Its definitely a different feeling going into tom condition. Yes, i have competition pressure but im just excited to go out there again and so happy and painful to be here and so happy and painful to be here andi and so happy and painful to be here and i was skating around when they we re and i was skating around when they were reading at the previous scores an artist smiled to myself because after everything ive been through, i made it and thats the most important thing.

League one rochdale held premier League Tottenham hotspur to a 2 2 draw and have bagged themselves a replay at wembley. That thanks to this injury time equaliser from steve davies. Spurs did take the lead through a harry kane penalty, but the joy belonged to rochdale and their big day out at wembley. When you having gone 1 0 up in the first half, we almost let the bomb, if you like. We knew what was going to come in the second half and i thought the players, they responded superbly and the reds could have gone down but they didnt after the penalty and i feel as though we got a deserved equaliser. Rangers are up to second in the scottish premiership on goal difference after an eight goal thriller at hamilton. Josh windass scored a hatrick in the 5 3 win which moves them above aberdeen. They are nine points behind celtic who drew nil nil with stjohnstone. Did they have any red cards . Do we know . Brazil used them all up. Im teasing myself so that you dont have to do it.

Rain and drizzle around. Becoming confined to eastern areas at a time. You can see the cloud is streaming across much of the country overnight. That is where we start the day in a pretty damp and to some soggy note. Not only have you got rain and drizzle around, the odd heavy burst but its pretty misty and foggy over the hills. That would be the case across many parts of Northern England and Eastern England as well. Some of the dampest conditions in a moment in Northern England but light and patchy rain. It does mean some parts of western england and western wales, also Northern Ireland. A little bit of morning sunshine. We will see a bit more developed. It stays damp across many parts of eastern scotland and Eastern England. Later on, west of Northern Ireland in far west scotland, the rain could arrive into the evening rush hour. Single figures across eastern counties of england. Any sunshine breaking through the crowd at times during the day. We will see at times during the day. We will see a spell of rain briefly but is heavier bursts in eastern scotland. Damp, cloudy, misty and murky. As sky is clear in the west, some in western scotland and Northern Ireland, a bit of frost. Northern ireland, a bit of frost. Northern ireland, western parts of england and wales, still saying still staying fairly cloudy. Temperatures through the rest of the country, not faring too badly but this time of year. Tuesday night and wednesday, greater chance of frost but the cloud crossed the south east will drift into southern counties of england and the south of wales set of those in the south west, a cloudy day to come on wednesday. Most will be dry. The cloud will break at times. But the press of the sunshine per Northern England and Northern Ireland and given the fact the sun is strengthening day by day, we have the sunshine overhead and with temperatures like that, it should feel quite pleasant but dont give up feel quite pleasant but dont give up yourguide feel quite pleasant but dont give up your guide for winter, dan and louise, because there are signs that things could turn much colder towards the end of the week and more especially to the start of next week. Well keep you updated but back to you both. It has been one of the most contentious political issues of the last two decades, finding the balance between increasing University Funding and limiting the impact on students and the taxpayer has proved difficult for successive governments. Today, the Prime Minister will launch yet another review of the system. Labours lord adonis was responsible for the introduction of tuition fees in 1998 and joins us from our london newsroom. Good from our london newsroom. Morning to you, thani much good morning to you, thank you very much forjoining us. Do you regret to have been partly responsible for where we are now . I think the decision to introduce a part payment by stu d e nts decision to introduce a part payment by students for University Education was the correct one, it allowed us to expand places significantly so it was socially equitable and it allowed us to give a better deal to universities where staff were being grossly underpaid. The big problem was the decision in 2010 with the conservative and liberal Democrat Coalition two travel tuition fees overnight, they were £3000 before, there wasnt great controversy about that and they broke the Cross Party Consensus overnight by trebling the fees to treble. They lost the support of students, they were broadly happy with the deal before 2010 because it was a good deal, after 2010 when the fees went up to £9,000. £9,000 is more than the cost of a lot of the courses offered by universities and at that point it was unsustainable. To make it worse what they then also did was slap a 6. 1 real rate of interest on the student debt. Before the system we set up allowed students not to pay the real rate of interest, so essentially whats happened is a set of changes which took what was i think a veryjustified system of stu d e nts think a veryjustified system of students making a contribution to the cost of their University Education into what was essentially and is now a cash cow by the government to get money from students, which is widely seen as unfair. What happens now, are you saying it should go back to a system that you had envisaged in the first place . Does the whole thing need to be looked at again . Well, the government is clearly the clearly kicking the whole thing into touch, they are setting up a review that will put it into the long grass for months. But what should happen, my view has always been clear, the system set up with cross Party Support in 2004, 2005 with a contribution of £3000 a year by stu d e nts contribution of £3000 a year by students repaid after graduation through the tax system with low real rate of interest was the right system. Do you think they shouldnt be scrapped, they should be taken back to £3000 . I would like them to be kept at £3000. You have to understand, because the government has increased them to £9,250 with a 6 Interest Rate, whats happened is the labour party has moved against any fees at all, which was inevitable with the way politics works. I dont know frankly whether that will be sustainable to have a much more modest fee. I would like to see, being a rationalist when it comes to public policy, a new cross party comes to public policy, a new Cross Party Consensus comes to public policy, a new cross pa rty consensus on comes to public policy, a new Cross Party Consensus on bringing fees back down to £3000, getting rid of the Interest Rate of 6 and agreeing that we will stick with that system for the next generation, not constantly changing but maybe its gone beyond that and the only thing that can be sustainable is scrapping the fees. What about the impact on poorer students . The government are saying younger people from poorer backgrounds has increased since 2009, but what about poorer students, what would help them the most . Its true, because them the most . Its true, because the fees and Student Loans are repaid after graduation, theres no reason why any student should be dissuaded from going to university. I say to any Prospective Students or stu d e nts i say to any Prospective Students or students listening to this, if they get decent a levels and have a good course then they should absolutely go to university. The question isnt so much putting off different groups, the question is whether it is fairand groups, the question is whether it is fair and with students graduating with 50 or £60,000 worth of debt, and a 6. 1 Interest Rate, which means they might have to pay back £100,000, and they have to get their lives sorted out, start buying houses and setting up families, its basically not fair. What began as a sensible system of part contribution by stu d e nts sensible system of part contribution by students to the cost of universities has become a treasury cash cow, with the vice chancellors milking the system for everything they can get because for them this is just they can get because for them this isjust a they can get because for them this is just a licence to print money. This has to stop and we need a new settlement. We will be speaking shortly at 7 40am two damian hinds, education secretary, to get his views. Lord laird onus, former Education Minister, thanks for your time to. Lord laird onus. Thanks for your comments as well. We will have time to look at them later. Keep them coming in. Steph is talking about a lack of properties coming onto the market meaning in some areas of the uk homes are being snapped up in fewer than three weeks. There are big regional differences so let me give you a flavour of this research. Rightmove has looked at where homes are being snapped up most quickly. On the average it takes 72 days to sell a property in the uk but it varies regionally. Livingston in west lothian comes out top with homes selling after just 17 days. Other hotspots are rugby and nuneaton in warwickshire and wellingborough in northamptonshire, where property sales take on average 21 days. So whats going on . Robert reed is an estate agent. Good morning. Good morning. Im not surprised to hear theres regional differences in the property market, its been that way for ever, but whats the difference . Why is it such a big difference in terms of how long it takes to sell something . The uk has a kind of Patchwork Quilt of regional variations, as you rightly say, but why is it . Normally it is factors on the ground, emerging areas could be spillover, other areas could be close by where people have been priced out of the area. They want to purchase still buy with close by with the amenities and transport links so suddenly you get an unpopular area becoming the emerging one. It can be spillover. It can be localised factors like employment which can affect that. The popularity of schools can change an area com pletely schools can change an area completely if a certain catchment area is what people want so normally it comes down to things that make a difference on the day to day basis that affects people, also affordability, wages, salaries and the ability to buy in certain areas. Whats happening with the Housing Market overall, our prices still going up . The market is pretty stable at the moment are the prices. Not moving significantly in either direction. Ourfinding prices. Not moving significantly in either direction. Our finding from the report this morning is that the south west is slightly less well performing than the rest of the country. Thats different to previously when weve talked about this, so a slight correction. While asking prices are generally up, the average is less than previous years so that says the market is pretty steady, prices not particularly flying up, a bit more price sensitivity. Still pretty decent and reasonable, nowhere near the difficult crises weve had in the past but there is no significant shift in terms of the asking prices and selling prices. There was a time when sellers were holding back a bit in terms of putting their property on the market, whats happening in that sense now . What youre finding in these areas where sales are going very quickly, theres not enough stock in the market so people get to an area and think this works for me, i like it, im not sure what the market is doing, i will stay put. That means buyers are looking saying they want to buy but there is Nothing Available so when it comes on it goes extremely quickly. In general terms the big issues like general terms the big issues like general elections and brexit reverend is mean people think twice about moving. Those who dont have to re m ove about moving. Those who dont have to remove hold still but theres a lwa ys to remove hold still but theres always people who have to move through life circumstances and they have to keep going regardless of the political context and economic context. Again theres areas where there is a lot of supply but in other areas there is a shortage, which is driving up the time in which is driving up the time in which the houses sell. Is it Getting Better for First Time Buyers . Which the houses sell. Is it Getting Better for firsttime buyers . There was a move in the budget on the stamp duty. The big issue for First Time Buyers is the availability. Ithink First Time Buyers is the availability. I think the big thing i would like to see more of when we see these developments up and down the country, lots of 4 bedroom detached houses, thats great but it doesnt solve the First Time Buyer problem. If you spoke to Estate Agents nationwide what they would want more of his 2 bedroom terraces, starter homes. That is a longer term issue. Is. They need First Time Buy a home on the agenda so theres more support but the big issue is applied buyer home. Is supplied. Thanks very much. Supplied. Buyer home. Is supplied. Thanks very much. Supplied. Supply. Defying the reviewers who called it boring and forgettable, the greatest showman has gone from critical flop to cult classic in record time. The huthackman circus musical continues to dominate the Box Office Thanks to the popularity of the films soundtrack. Now, its dedicated fans will have an excuse for a repeat viewing with the release of a singalong version. Fiona lamdin reports. The greatest showman claims to have the world singing. Now, after seven weeks in the cinemas, this is the first time the audience can officiallyjoin in. I love the music, i love the, sort of, i love the story, i love how its such a spectacle, all the colours and costumes. Its brilliant. With gone, like, four times. We were doing it on the train on the way here, we had our headphones on the way here listening to it. Give me a little go here now. She well, i wont. This is the greatest show inside theres even a bearded lady to get the vocal cords warmed up. Its a familiar formula. The lyrics pop up on screen so theres really no excuse not to join in. Since its release the film has delivered seven straight weeks at the box office, and the soundtrack has been number one in the album charts for the last six weeks. But despite these impressive figures, when it was released, critics werent convinced. Lets make no mistake, this is not a good film. I mean, there is a good film to be made about pt barnum, this is not it. It is just a bunch of syrupy ballad is. Its like drowning in a vat of disney light. Saying that, if you should be forced to go and see this film again against your will, think the singalong version is the most horrible because theres a lot of energy in the room and you cant help but to tap occasionally. Which we managed to catch on camera. This time you could just clap, scream and no one mattered. It was good, wasnt it . Yeah. Im shaking, i had goosebumps and i feel like it . Yeah. Im shaking, i had goosebumps and ifeel like i it . Yeah. Im shaking, i had goosebumps and i feel like i was watching the actors actually performing it in front of us, which was really exciting, so i loved it. Loveit was really exciting, so i loved it. Love it or hate it, there can be little doubt this is an experience that seems to have left this audience feeling on top of the world. Fiona lamdin, bbc news. You cant help yourself theres nothing like a good singalong, is there . Have you ever been to one . I havent but im going to. there . Have you ever been to one . I havent but im going to. I have done the sound of music. It is proved, who cares what the critics say, just enjoy it proof. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im victoria hollins. Theres been an increase ofjust 22 prison officers in london in the last 18 months despite a recruitment drive to raise numbers in the capital. The government announced at the end of 2016 that it intended to increase numbers across the country. The Prison Officers Association says the issue isnt with recruitment but keeping staff in the job. Rachel long worked at wandsworth prison, but left after less than 18 months. I think that recruitment is fine, theyre able to recruit people. At my training we had about 30 people just for those six weeks and out of all of them i think there is only five left in the prison service, which is insane. The ministry ofjustice says its on track to recruit 2,500 new prison officers. There are also plans for a retention strategy to help governors ensure experienced staff remain in the service. Alongside the new recruits. Rmt Union Members in south western rail are working to rule for a fourth day in their long running dispute over the future role of guards. The union has told guards not to work on rest days. The action is due to end at midnight. South western railway says passengers should not be affected, councils are being asked to waive fees to close public roads this may so people can hold Royal Wedding street parties. Prince harry and Meghan Markle will be getting married on the 19th may, the same day as the fa cup final. Parties were held across london when Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011. Some local authorities have already said theyll be waving any charges and the government is now encouraging others to do the same. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tube this morning apart from london overground, which has no service between Upper Holloway and gospel oak. On the roads and in highgate, the a1 coming in to town is down to one lane for emergency repairs to a burst water main. Expected to add to the usual delays. In dorking, the a25 remains closed between pixham lane and the deepdene roundabout for repairs following a large fuel spillage. Its been closed since friday morning. Its hoped the road will reopen later this morning. Lets have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. Good morning. Quite a mild start out there this morning, temperatures above zero so frost free of course, but it does mean we got quite a bit of cloud, a bit of mist and murk out there this morning without breaks of rain. Mostly these outbreaks of rain are light and patchy, but they really are coming and going through the course of the day. Some drier spells between but its going to stay rather grey, temperatures getting up to 11, so double figures, and feeling reasonably mild. Overnight tonight, we hang onto the mild temperatures, in fact temperatures not really going to drop at all. Well see further outbreaks of mostly light patchy rain as well and a bit of mist developing. Minimum temperature, somewhere between seven and nine, so another mild start tomorrow. Further outbreaks of rain through the course of tuesday but gradually youll notice as we head further through this week the temperature starts to dip. It is going to get colder but High Pressure means we should see a bit more in the way sunshine, that temperature is going to start to feel quite cold. Thats it from us. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to dan and louise. Bye for now. Hello this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. Theresa may admits young people in england face one of the most expensive systems of University Tuition in the world. The Prime Minister launches a major review into the cost of going to university. Also this morning oxfam reveals that 3 of the men accused of Sexual Misconduct in haiti physically threatened witnesses during a 2011 investigation. A sea of black at the baftas, as stars line up to show solidarity against sexism and harassment in the film industry. I have a little trouble with compliance. Laughter. But i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. Employers are in the dark ages when it comes to attitudes towards women who have or want children thats according to new research. Ill be looking at why. Good morning. She was told she would never skate again but rape but great britains penny cooms has been back on the ice with Nick Buckland. That would have a great performance with theice would have a great performance with the ice dancing. I will be back with a full round up from pyeongchang at 730. And matt has the weather. No ice to be found in the uk, a frost free start to monday but it does come at a price. Plenty of outbreaks of rain, especially in the east. First our main story. The Prime Minister will admit today that students and their families have serious concerns about the cost of university. Theresa may will launch an independent review into Higher Education finance in england, saying many courses are notjudged to give value for money. Universities are free to charge up to just over £9,000 a year, depending on the course, however only a handful charge less than the maximum. Graduates in england now leave university with average debts of more than £50,000. Thats because Interest Rates on Student Loans now stand at 6. 1 . Our Political Correspondent ben wright is in westminster. Ben, what has the reaction been in westminster to this review . Its something that successive governments have struggled to find a balance with, this issue . Finding the balance between what the stage be paying on what students should be paying. A real dilemma that governments have grappled with. This has become hot politics, i think, since labour announced they would scrap tuition fees and that helped win the young voters and students and is theresa may says, its an issue causing real concern to pa rents issue causing real concern to parents and grandparents as well. Theresa may will say the Current System has produced a competitive market. Andrew adonis was on brea kfast market. Andrew adonis was on breakfast earlier on and he explained why he thinks the Current System has become a cash cow to the treasury and needs to change. The labour party has moved against any fees at all which is inevitable in the way politics works so dont know if it will be sustainable to have a much more modest fee which is what i would like to see, being a rationalist, when it comes to public policy, a new Cross Party Consensus on bringing fees backed down to £3000, getting rid of the 6 Interest Rate and agreeing we will stick with that system. It could be the government decides to some courses at some universities. There is also pressure from within the tory party to bring back maintenance grants. Politically, ithink tory party to bring back maintenance grants. Politically, i think the difficulty for the government is trying to come up with a solution that addresses the concerns of people and doesnt look like a pale imitation of what labour are proposing. We will be speaking to the education secretary damian hinds just before 8 00. Oxfam has revealed that Charity Workers physically threatened witnesses during an investigation into Sexual Misconduct in haiti in 2011. The report inlcudes accusations of bullying, intimidation of staff and use of prostitutes, as well as suggesting that oxfam bosses ignored a recommendation that better ways should be found to inform other charities about problem staff. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Lansdale reports. In the wake of the earthquake in haiti in 2010, seven of the oxfam staff sent there to help left because as a result of their unacceptable behaviour. An internal report published today shows one was dismissed and three resigned for using prostitutes on oxfam premises. Two more were dismissed for bullying and intimidation, one of whom also downloaded pornography. And another man was sacked for failing to protect staff. The report says three suspects physically threatened witnesses during the investigation. The 11 page document makes various recommendations including finding better mechanisms for informing other aid agencies about so called problem staff. This is something oxfam appears to have ignored as roland van hauwermeiren, the charitys directory in haiti, went to work for another Aid Organisation in bangladesh, even though the charity says he resigned for using prostitutes. Parts of the reports are blacked out to hide peoples identities but oxfam says it has given an unredacted copy to haitian ministers whom senior members from the charity will meet later today. James landale, bbc news. Three billboards outside ebbing missouri, a film about a mother seeking justice for her daughters murder, was the big winner at the bafta awards last night. It won five prizes including best film and best actress for Frances Mcdormand. The theme ofjustice and equality for women dominated the event, with most guests wearing black to show solidarity with campaigns against abuse and harassment, although mcdormand admitted that she chose to break the dress code. I have a little trouble with compliance. Laughter. But i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. We should also mention that gary 0ldman won best actor for darkest hourand 0ldman won best actor for darkest hour and best make up making him to look Winston Churchill. He said he was in the chairforfour look Winston Churchill. He said he was in the chair for four hours. That is dedication. Employers are in the dark ages when it comes to attitudes to pregnant workers and those planning to have children according to the equality and Human Rights Commission. Theyve released new research today, looking into pregnancy and maternity discrimination in the workplace. Steph joins us now with the results. This is a survey of over 1000 employers, too it is pretty senior people in private sector organisations. They have asked them about how they feel whether they wa nt about how they feel whether they want to have children in the future and what they can and cant ask them inJob Interviews and what they can and cant ask them in Job Interviews and what they are like when they had children and came back to work some of the Key Statistics is that more than half of employers say that women should stay in the interview whether they are pregnant or not. At the moment, it is fine foran pregnant or not. At the moment, it is fine for an employer to ask somebody in an interview about pregnant but if they discriminate against them because they are pregnant, they can take them to an employment tribunal. Say a pregnant lady mentions or gets ask and says, im pregnant and afterwards, she doesnt get the job, and she can probably do that. Dont ask, dont go near discrimination. But when you look at why they have a problem with women having babies or being pregnant, its because of the attitude of the women when they are in work afterwards so according to the survey, they said about 44 of women who have had more than one pregnancy is more than one pregnancy are a burden on the company and some said that mothers we re company and some said that mothers were less engaged. I am sure there will be lots of women out there who are raging hearing this, working mums who say they are not a burden at all. This is why the equality and Human Rights Commission have looked into this because they say it is completely wrong to discriminate against women who have or want to have children. We will be talking to them later about how this fits them. How can these employers have these attitudes and not discriminate . We will be talking to a well working a working mum as well. Will be talking to a well working a working mum as well. Anybody who wa nts to a working mum as well. Anybody who wants to get in touch as well, you can wants to get in touch as well, you ca n tweet wants to get in touch as well, you can tweet us or email us. Have a look at these pictures of an attempted ram raid on a street in leeds. Men wearing balaclavas. This was a botched attempt to u nsuccessfully was a botched attempt to unsuccessfully smash the shops windows and they speeded up empty handed. Westport west Yorkshire Police said responded to a number of ram raids in recent weeks. Driving back and forth into the windows before speeding off down the road. Breaking diplomatic sock news the canadian Prime Ministerjustin trudeaus on an official visit to india, but its his socks that have caught the attention of the media. He chose to wear these star wars themed novelty pair on a visit to the taj mahal. Its not the first time the canadian Prime Ministers worn novelty socks. These have the chewbacca design on them. He wore these to the Global Business forum. And these are some very fetching duck themed ones that he wore to davos. I have got to think about ive got a thing about cool socks. I was once turned down because of my socks. I wore red sox to my pgce interview and i was told i was not serious enough. I think socks are very important. Is he pushing the edges . If i had worn a normal very important. Is he pushing the edges . Ifi had worn a normal pair of socks, i probably wouldnt be here. That would be a terrible shame. Thank goodness for the red pairof shame. Thank goodness for the red pair of socks. It was more about the black dresses than the red carpet at last nights bafta film awards. Nearly all of the guests at the ceremony in london wore black to show their support for campaigns to stamp out sexism and discrimination in the movie industry and beyond. In a moment well speak to two campaigners about what, if any, difference this activism will make. First, lets hear what some of the stars had to say. A century ago, the suffragettes laid the groundwork for the kind of dogged resistance and powerful protest that is carried forward today with the times up movement and with it, the determination to eradicate the inequality and abuse of women the world over. We finished this film about a year ago. Its the story of a woman taking on the establishment and the status quo. It seems more timely now than we ever could have imagined them. Lily and i would just like to thank you all for standing up the justice and equality tonight. Yes, and now. And now back to business. As martin said, i have a little trouble with compliance. But i want you to know that i stand in full solidarity with my sisters tonight in black. Thats a little bit of talk about what was going on at the bafta awards. Some of the clebrities invited equality campaigners as their guests last night, and were joined now by two of them. Laura bates founded the everyday sexism project and marai larasi works to tackle violence against women and girls from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. Theyjoin us now from london. Thank you both so much forjoining us. Thank you both so much forjoining us. First eu, marai. We said you would be a guest at the bafta awards, what would you have said . would have thought you lost your mind. It wasnt on my list of things that i would be doing for 2018 but its been absolutely amazing in terms of amplifying the issue for us. Terms of amplifying the issue for us. Violence against women and girls. And justice more broadly. Amazing. Laura, would you think this would happen to you . amazing. Laura, would you think this would happen to you . I think i probably would been terrified and i was but the person is so kindly took me, the first time i was a on a red carpet, i almost fell backwards because it was so overwhelming. In a way, that was what this is about. Women standing in solidarity with women in all different jobs women standing in solidarity with women in all differentjobs in women standing in solidarity with women in all different jobs in all walks of life saying we will see you, we will lift each other up and not stand for abuse. Laura, he founded the everyday sexism project. Has there been a change recently in attitudes . There has been a very marked and important change in the conversation because weve seen so many courageous survivor speaking out about their experiences. What we need to seize the rest of the world is stepping up, saving you have named the problem and shown us what it is. We need to fix it. That picks needs to be systemic and structural. It needs to be organisations, government notjust it needs to be organisations, government not just saying to women who have spoken out about the problem, what are you going to do differently . This is not up to women to fix. And marai, he went to the Golden Globes with emma watson. What would make a difference from your point of view . Lets talk about film and tv. Theres a whole set of things to think about, one, who is working in the industry where people are placed . What this means in terms of representation. The kind of content we re representation. The kind of content were producing as well, i think theres something about thinking about what were putting out there, theissueis about what were putting out there, the issue is happening behind the scenes. Weve seen the industry here look at improving standards, and thats absolutely welcome, but we need to make sure there is accountability built in so that its not just something that accountability built in so that its notjust something that doesnt have teeth. We really need teeth around this. Media has such huge influence over what we do, so again to reiterate, lets think about whos doing what in our industry and also kind of the content were producing. Can we have diverse women on our screens and not always have black women in particular roles . Lets think about how all women are presented. Lets think about those changes because that will make a difference. What about people who might think for example this is all where very well, i will ask you both, hollywood getting involved, but how real is that and how much is this joining but how real is that and how much is thisjoining in this joining in something thats become a movement. What do you think, laura . We know the problem is enormous and it affects women in all industries, we know almost half of all women experience Sexual Harassment in the workplace and two thirds of young women. We know its worse when that is compounded by racism, racism, discrimination on the grounds of gender identity and disability. Everyone has a role to play across those boundaries. Of course its important for women in entertainment to speak out because they put a spotlight on an issue and for every one of those stories weve heard there might be 1000 other women whose stories were not hearing. And woman on a zero hours contract whos in precarious employment and its hard for her to use her voice for risk of losing her job at. We need those women to use their platform to draw attention to their platform to draw attention to the wider issue. I would say a similar thing but were not saying the lives of women in entertainment are more important, we asked a in bow have this platform that allows for amplification that we havent had before. We are sailing women in entertainment. We are saying. What you have is this amazing solidarity across completely different sectors. That means something in terms of shifting the conversation. Does it matter what the duchess of cambridge was wearing to either of you . Not really. People show their solidarity in different ways. Id like to think the duchess of cambridge takes these issues seriously, id like to think so. Absolutely, last night this was about a structural issue, it was a collective voice, not about any individual person. Thanks both very much. I can see you an chilly so thank you for speaking to us on bbc brea kfast. Thank you for speaking to us on bbc breakfast. I can see you are chilly. We wa nt we want to show pictures, talking about great films, blackpool is known for its illuminations but this is a mum oration of starlings which many people have been visiting blackpool to see over the weekend. They are looking like a giant wave rising from the water. They gathered together to keep warm and safe. Is also thought they came together to Exchange Information about feeding sites. Ignorant question, how do they do that . Follow me they are absolutely fantastic. Over bridges as well they do that, demare narration is, beautiful. We always speak to Chris Packham about spring watch and autumn watch and he always says how beautiful it is to watch a mum oration of starlings. Mum oration. They heres matt with a look at this mornings incredible weather. Good morning. Potentialfor cold weather to come our way towards the end of the week and into next week. This morning and across the uk it is a frost free start but as you can see by the skies behind me, it comes at a price, a great start to monday morning. Lets look at the forecast for today. Not only is it lousy, cloudy and dry, mild, rain and drizzle around, especially in eastern areas. The king at the satellite, the cloud has come from the north west but in amongst it is the north west but in amongst it is the mild air looking at. Rain and drizzle in many northern and eastern areas. Anywhere except for Northern Ireland, wales and the south west to begin with. The rain will come and go in scotland, the odd heavy burst, and damp weather in Northern England, pushing to the midlands, further rain and light drizzle in east anglia and the south east, including the Channel Islands but it means the temperatures are clear of a frost this morning, some already in the high single figures and they will go further, especially in the west, where we will see breaks in the cloud today, south west england, west wales, south west Northern Ireland. The west of Northern Ireland. The west of Northern Ireland and later into scotland we will see rain for the end of the afternoon and into the evening. Eastern parts of scotland, eastern counties of england will stay gloomy and damp all day long. To go with that weve got a lot of mist and hill fog around as well, your morning commute and later today could be a bit on the gloomy and murky side. Temperatures today Still Holding up nicely, even with the cloud around, many places in double figures, high single figures towards the easternmost counties admittedly but 30 possible if you see any sunshine 13. Rain for a time tonight, Northern Ireland and scotland, clearer skies following. Heavy bursts in eastern scotland and Eastern England staying down throughout. Here temperatures will hold up, a colder night to the west compared to last night, some parts of scotla nd compared to last night, some parts of scotland and Northern Ireland tomorrow morning could start with a touch of frost. A bit more sunshine tomorrow, many northern and Western Areas having a vastly brighter day with a good deal more sunshine around. Staying cloudy and some pot of Eastern England, especially lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east, rain and drizzle possible here but temperatures holding up and for many of you a fairly mild david ash parts of. Tuesday night into wednesday, the cloud we have in eastern parts of england will slide its wake on a developing breeze of the south west and southern wales parts of. Further north it could be a frosty start to wednesday but a lovely start for the northern half of the country on wednesday its wake. Southern counties of england, south wales and staying a bit on the cloudy side. Some brightness is possible at times its way. The cloud thicken for a passing light shower. Breezy on wednesday in the south, that will add to a slightly cooler feel for many big south, that will add to a slightly coolerfeel for many big enough. Towards the of the week, as easterly winds develop further, especially for the south, we could see temperatures drop and those could drop further into the weekend and beyond sick enough. Back to dan and luis neto. Back to dan and louise. That thick enough. Sick enough. Thick thick enough. Diagnosing autism in children has always been a challenging process but Scientists Say they have now developed a blood and urine test that can accurately detect the disorder. Researchers at the university of warwick claim it could lead to earlier diagnosis but experts have expressed caution, saying such a test is still a long way from being reliable. Joining us now in the studio is naila rabanni who conducted the research and james cusack from the Autism Charity autistica. Thank you very much forjoining us. You conducted this research, what did you do and what did you find . We wa nted did you do and what did you find . We wanted to look at the disease which has a high impact in parents and children and find some sort of biomarker that could diagnose early and conclusively that no child who doesnt have autism is wrongly diagnosed. That was the idea. We looked at the protein damage in plasma and then using Machine Learning to find the combination of markers seen in autistic children to develop a test that could give you a high, accurate diagnosis of autistic children. James, how difficult has diagnosis of autism being . Families have to wait a long time for diagnosis, so we know in the last ten years the average waiting time for diagnosis hasnt changed. Families are very keen to get a diagnosis as soon as is the. It was a small amount of people you tested, wasnt it . As soon as possible. Did you find there was a marker . As far as you could see . This is a typical medium sized study, Clinical Study when you look at by markers to diagnose this. We really needed to get a significant change, about 18 patients and 18 healthy children biomarker is. We used about 38. It isa biomarker is. We used about 38. It is a good sized. I wouldnt call it a small biomarker is. We had good results. The powerful technique. Reason for this is look at the fingerprints of the processes of autism and it identifies which pathway is involved in the process of developing autism. These markers are linked to the disease process. Finding that and then combining it with artificial intelligence, we we re with artificial intelligence, we were able to narrow it down from about 30 markers to about four markers with accuracy of 88 , which is way better than any current test available. Can i put this to you from the Royal College of paediatrics and child health, this is far away from a test and if applied to a Large Population this will cause false positives, meaning there is worry to children and families. With the Likelihood Ratio of having false positive. It is new, 0. 1. It is 0. 1. It gives you conclusive evidence of absence of disease in a healthy child. This is not the first test i have developed, i have developed heads for osteoarthritis where we can bring g8 with prices dimity and specificity tests. I dont think its a long way off differentiate with specificity. Families want to have their diagnosis as soon as per the. That is key. As soon as possible. We need tests that are accurate. One of the issues with this research with this diagnostic is it compares autism with people who dont have autism with people who dont have autism and a cliniciansjob is to go beyond deciding weather someone has autism, but weather they have autism, adhd or whatever. Accurate diagnosis is key to ensuring someone gets the best treatment and support they can weather. Gets the best treatment and support they can weather. I agree with james. Thats the beauty of this test. The Likelihood Ratio, as i mentioned, is 0. 1, that conclusively tells you. That is compared to the population. It is in a merry small sample size for autism. You cant really compare autism to arthritis and varied. Autism is a more complex, varied condition. Very small. That is correct, i agree. There have been hundreds of studies that have got to this stage before. It looks promising and you see a great difference between autism and people who are just in the general population. Can i briefly say again, previously all these studies have done looking at the normal protein. We are looking at the damaged protein involved in the disease process and these are the markers actually in each disease and each different type of these neurological disorders. I agree with you, we need to do further validation in a large cohort and in other neurological disorders, disorders, and thats on the cards, thats what were going to do. Let us know what you think about that on breakfast this morning. You can find us on social media or you can send us an e mail. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im victoria hollins. Theres been an increase ofjust 22 prison officers in london in the last 18 months despite a recruitment drive to raise numbers in the capital. The government announced at the end of 2016 that it intended to increase numbers across the country. The Prison Officers Association says the issue isnt with recruitment but keeping staff in the job. Rachel long worked at wandsworth prison, but left after less than 18 months. I think that recruitment is fine, theyre able to recruit people. At my training we had about 30 people just for those six weeks and out of all of them i think there is only five left in the prison service, which is insane. The ministry ofjustice says its on track to recruit 2,500 new prison officers. There are also plans for a retention strategy to help governors ensure experienced staff remain in the service. Alongside the new recruits. Rmt Union Members in south western rail are working to rule for a fourth day in their long running dispute over the future role of guards. The union has told guards not to work on rest days. The action is due to end at midnight. South western railway says passengers should not be affected, with all services running. Councils are being asked to waive fees to close public roads this may so people can hold Royal Wedding street parties. Prince harry and Meghan Markle will be getting married on the 19th may, the same day as the fa cup final. Parties were held across london when Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011. Some local authorities have already said theyll be waving any charges and the government is now encouraging others to do the same. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. Theres a good service on the tube this morning apart from london overground, which has no service between Upper Holloway and gospel oak. On the roads and in highgate, the a1 coming in to town is down to one lane for emergency repairs to a burst water main. Expected to add to the usual delays. In dorking, the a25 remains closed between pixham lane and the deepdene roundabout for repairs following a large fuel spillage. Lets have a check on the weather now with kate kinsella. Good morning. Quite a mild start out there this morning, temperatures above zero so frost free of course, but it does mean weve got quite a bit of cloud, a bit of mist and murk out there this morning without breaks of rain. Mostly these outbreaks of rain are light and patchy, but they really are coming and going through the course of the day. Some drier spells between but its going to stay rather grey, temperatures getting up to 11, so double figures, and feeling reasonably mild. Overnight tonight, we hang onto the mild temperatures, in fact temperatures not really going to drop at all. Well see further outbreaks of mostly light patchy rain as well and a bit of mist developing. Minimum temperature, somewhere between seven and nine, so another mild start tomorrow morning. Further outbreaks of rain through the course of tuesday but gradually youll notice as we head further through this week the temperature starts to dip. It is going to get colder but High Pressure means we should see a bit more in the way sunshine, that temperature is going to start to feel quite cold. Thats it from us. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to dan and louise. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. Heres a summary of this mornings main stories from bbc news. The Prime Minister will admit today that students and their families have serious concerns about the cost of university. Theresa may is set to launch a year long independent review into Higher Education finance in england, saying many courses are notjudged to give value for money. The review will consider changing the level of fees, cutting loan Interest Rates and reintroducing maintenance grants. Oxfam has revealed that Charity Workers physically threatened witnesses during an investigation into Sexual Misconduct in haiti in 2011. The report inlcudes accusations of bullying, intimidation of staff and use of prostitutes, ours is as well as suggesting that oxfam bosses ignored a recommendation that better ways should be found to inform other charities about problem staff. Three billboards outside ebbing missouri, a film about a mother seeking justice for her daughters murder, was the big winner at the bafta awards last night. The theme ofjustice and equality for women dominated the event, with most guests wearing black to show solidarity with campaigns against abuse and harassment, although mcdormand admitted that she chose to break the dress code. She won best actress and gary altmann won for his betrayal of Winston Churchill. Six in 10 employers believe that a woman should have to disclose whether she is pregnant during the recruitment process, according to a new report by the equality and Human Rights Commission. the survey of a thousand businesses found widespread pregnancy and maternity discrimination, including more than 40 per cent of employers believing that women who have had more than one pregnancy while in the same job are a burden on their team. More than £2 billion worth of old style £10 notes are still in circulation with less then a fortnight to go until uk shops stop accepting them. Bank of england Officials Say the withdrawal of the old currency is progressing at about the rate they expected. The paper notes, with Charles Darwin on the back, will stop being legal tender on the 1st of march. I need to change my emergency tenner. You definitely need to change it, it could be too late. The beautiful game turned ugly last night in brazil. But this match between vitoria and bahia had to be broken up after a brawl broke out. It started with a provocative dance in front of the home crowd by one of the players from bahia. It ended with a total of ten red cards. Nobody is mixing it around. It means they were to players on the pitch to finish the match so it had to be abandoned. Goodness me. It started when one of the players did a dance. Annette escalated. Out of control from that point. Coming up, matt will have the weather. Its been a brilliant weekend, so much to cheer. Lizzie yarnold, itjust did it to me. Sport, music and achievement. It does it for me. It was a fantastic weekend, wasnt it . An utterly brilliant weekend. For dan walker, ice dancing is the place to be. What a great story from tea m place to be. What a great story from team gb. Its been a great performance from the british ice dancing pair of penny coomes and Nick Buckland as they qualified for the next round of the ice dancing competition. All the more impressive when you consider thatjust 20 months ago, coomes was told she may never skate again after shattering her kneecap into 8 pieces in an accident. A road of recovery fought penny to get to this place. And here they are today, back on olympic ice. A great performance from them as well. They performed brilliantly in the short dance section of the competition, qualifying in 10th place ahead of tomorrow free dance section. They will be looking to push up that leaderboard to get closer to the medals. They are looking for a really, really good performance tomorrow. It was a good morning too for Rowan Cheshire in the freestyle skiing halfpipe event. Her performance was good enough to see her qualify for the next round. Unfortunately the other brit in that competition Molly Summerhayes didnt make it through. There was huge disappointment too for aimee fuller in the snowboarding big air event. This is making its debut at this years games but fuller fell on both her attempts, including a big crash in in hersecondjump so her olympics is over. That, im afraid, caused some quite serious injuries. As you can see, looking very sore. I am here. Rhona howie, though so many of us will always know her as rhona martin, who won gold as skip of the curling team at the Salt Lake City games in 2002 is with us this morning. Its reaching the business end of great britains men taking on denmark in the round robin matches. This go to live of it. After nine ends, it is 6 5 to denmark. Youve been watching this all morning, havent you . I have, its been a long morning. You need to win, so its absolutely in their hands to do. Great to have some Live Commentary from you. This weekend, full of controversy with the line the womens team. What have you made of it all . The red light was on the stove. I do think she believes she touched it. Whats your opinion . The centres on the stones are very sensitive. The green lights flash. If they flash at that time, you would get the stone fixed. And then you have to release before the hotline which you clearly do on the vg but you are allowed to double touch the handover. He has u nfortu nately touch the handover. He has unfortunately double touch. As eve says, it happened. Forget it. Just explain to us, it could be a tiny touch. Or what would it have been . Can we come back to the studio . Explain to us. She released the stone. Thats what you can see clearly. The finger touch the back ofa clearly. The finger touch the back of a handle is the cost of a cost the hotline. She held her hand up and said, its never happened to her before. Both the men and the women have lost quite a few of their matches so far. Back in 2002, when you went to win the gold medal, you lost quite a few as well . We had four losses in our round robin. You just made it through. Oh, dear. Yes, so we won five games but we just had to win our last round robin game. We had to tie break games. In germany and sweden. Then a semi final and a final. How do you keep calm in these situations . Much calmer playing than watching. Just all the user psychology. Focus and concentrate. Absolutely, it makes a difference when you are on the ice. The hours of training you put in is second nature. You just play the shot. So many people are talking about doping in curling. A suspected doping case with a russian athlete who won bronze last week. What advantage would someone have in doping in curling . Im not asking you to comment on that case. I know its an endurance sport. You put in 40 plus hours already ahead of that. really dont know what you could take. Maybe selling to keep the heart rate down. I have never heard of anybody taking anything that would help them to be a better colour. You just need time on the ice. Good to hear that. The Court Arbitration for sport is opening up arbitration for sport is opening up a case about this possible violation. The athlete is now waiting the result. And i know the World Federation were looking at this seriously and they spent a lot of money doing regular doping tests. They were all clean. You will be pa rt they were all clean. You will be part of coverage throughout the day . Yes, iam. Part of coverage throughout the day . Yes, i am. Really lovely to see you. The fa cup is the competition where shocks can happen. League one rochdale held premier League Tottenham hotspur to a 2 2 draw and have bagged themselves a replay at wembley. That thanks to this injury time equaliser from steve davies. Spurs did take the lead through a harry kane penalty, but the joy belonged to rochdale and their big day out at wembley. When you having gone 1 0 up in the first half, we almost let the bomb, if you like. We knew what was going to come in the second half and i thought the players, they responded superbly and the reds could have gone down but they didnt after the penalty and i feel as though we got a deserved equaliser. Now biting stuff on the curling. 10th and final end. There might be an extra end, it goes to a tie break. Its exciting stuff. An extra end, it goes to a tiebreak. Its exciting stuff. You can watch the highlights. We will try and keep you up to date as well. There is matt. Good morning. Thank you very much. A very mild start to monday morning. Frost free. It does come at a price. You can see on the ground behind me, glistening under some fairly damp conditions. If we ta ke some fairly damp conditions. If we take the forecast, cloudy and marvelled that there will be rain and drizzle around, especially across the eastern half of the country. Some Western Areas, parts of the south west, you start the day drive. Outbreaks of rain and drizzle, extensive hill fog as well over the high ground. And the rain and drizzle become a bit more confined. Again, still the odd heavy burst. Temperatures into the teens, 13 in the south west and in the east where it is cloudy and damp. Heavy bursts in eastern scotland and some parts of Eastern England but skies clear in the north and west. Forecast for tomorrow morning in the uk will be for a brighter day and eastern areas sunny, uk will be for a brighter day and eastern areas sunny, lots of cloud and east anglia and the south east corner, this is where we will see further rain and drizzle at times. Still murky but in the west and the north a dry, sunny day and with sunshine out it will feel fairly pleasant. More in half an hour. Back to our main story on bbc brea kfast, back to our main story on bbc breakfast, within the past 12 months. The conservative governments policy on University Tuition fees has undergone something of a transformation. After backing an increase in the level to more than £9,000 just over a year ago, the Prime Minister said in the autumn that she wanted tuition fees frozen. Today, she will launch a review of the system which will consider cutting the amount students pay. Education secretary damian hinds joins us from westminster. Thank you very much for coming on to talk about this. For those viewers who have been watching for the last few hours, we spoke to lord adonis aboutan hourago, few hours, we spoke to lord adonis about an hour ago, can you firstly explain why this review is needed . It will take at least a year for proposals to be suggested, why another review . We have one of the best University Systems in the world with some of the best individual universities. We have more young people going on to university than ever before, but when the current financing system came in in 2012 it was widely anticipated there would be more variety in the system, more different prices for different courses, but also different structures, different ways of delivering a degree there will be analysis of how you stimulate variety and choice. Different ways of getting a degree and the alternatives to university, some of the technical and vocational routes that arent necessarily a three year degree but other ways of investing in ourfuture skills degree but other ways of investing in our future skills base. Does the Current System not work . It works very well in some really important ways. We have properly sustainable if financed universities, theres a share in the cost between the student and students, they learn a lot more earn a lot more money through their lifetime by going to university than not, theres a taxpayer element, it is fairly done, you dont repay until you reach a certain income threshold, which is about to go up to £25,000. Ill say again, we expected there to be and i wa nt again, we expected there to be and i want there to be more variety in whats on offer and be absolutely sure that every would be student can get good value for money and were also getting the skills we need for the future of our country. With respect that was meant to be what was happening already. For example, there was meant to be a variation of these but what happened is all universities charged the top whack, everything they can charge, to get the most money out of students fees. Your observation is good, the average fee is £9,100, very close to the top, we want to see more variety. Its not just the top, we want to see more variety. Its notjust about the the top, we want to see more variety. Its not just about the fee you charge for a three year course, its about whether you have more compressed courses into, say, two yea rs, compressed courses into, say, two years, where there can be more options to study while youre working. Maybe more people who can do commuter degrees, so not having to work to another town or sadly move. All of these aspects are important. City. Thinking about a joined up system with Technical Education post 18 and some of those other collocations in disciplines that are important for the future of the country. What are you going to say to a student facing £50,000 debt, interest of 6. 1 , how do you encourage them to be part of the system and also can you give them a promised those fees are going to go down rather than up . A promise. Thats a really good question you pose. Im aware obviously of the concerns people have and are very visible number that you come out with, the debt number, but its not like a normal debt in the sense that a lot of people will never pay that full amount back because we have an earnings threshold, £25,000, and you dont pay anything back if you are earning under that and by the time 30 years has passed, whatevers left is written of and as for the taxpayer subsidy, thats when that comes in written of. People shouldnt be put off applying for university because youre only going to contribute if youre earning. I say again, we have one of the best systems of universities in the world, four of the top ten in the world, four of the top ten in the world, 16 of the top 100. Over a lifetime a graduate will earn £100,000 more by going to university thanif £100,000 more by going to university than if they didnt. Weve created this system now whereby universities are dependent on these high fees and if you were to take those away then they would really struggle, they would be a huge funding gap which they would currently not be able to fill. Its in nobodys interests to have universities that arent properly funded, thats in the interests of the universities and the students because we want to make sure we have a world class Higher Education system available. One of the things the review will look at, one of the things the panel will look at no doubt will be about the different costs to put on different types of courses. Thats one of the considerations in how the pricing is done. David hines, thanks for talking to us this morning. Thats the education secretary. Thanks for your messages about that. Employers are in the dark ages when it comes to attitudes towards pregnant workers and those planning to have children according to the equality and Human Rights Commission. More on that right now with them and steph. Good morning. Really Interesting Research and lots of people have been messaging about this, lots of people are livid. Good morning. This is a research by the equality and Human Rights Commission, who spoke to over 1,000 employers across the private sector. They found six in ten believe that a woman should have to disclose whether she is pregnant during the recruitment process, and 40 of employers believe that women who have had more than one pregnancy while in the same job are a burden on their team. Sue coe is head of employment at the ehrc. Bina hale is a recruitment consultant who won a case of actual discrimination against her employer. Thanks forjoining us. Can i start with you on what rights are when it comes to recruitment, are you allowed to be asked if youre pregnant . It seems ludicrous we have to remind ourselves the whole point ofa to remind ourselves the whole point of a Job Interview is to get the best person for thejob of a Job Interview is to get the best person for the job depending on their skills and experience and not any discriminatory factors. It is unlawful to not appoint somebody for a job because theyre a woman, pregnant or because you even think they might get pregnant at sometime in the future. But they can be asked, though, cant be . Theyjust cant discriminate them for it. But the big question is why would you wa nt to the big question is why would you want to ask those questions in an interview if youre not allowed to actually act on the answers to deny people work . What about then once the mother has had the child and is backin the mother has had the child and is back in work, what are your thoughts on the attitude you found in the story about people saying they are a burden was yellow were founding these attitudes arent only decades away from what the actual law is, but it seems to ignore the fundamental rights of women at work they are a burden . Thats what we are concerned about, we are calling on employers to work with us and take up the support we are offering them through our working Forward Initiative. For you this was your reality, you were disseminated against. What happened to you . I worked for denton is, the Biggest International law firm, had my second child when i was there and i was brought in first day back after maternity and said i was under redundancy consultation and effectively was made redundant, went through the internal process, which was flawed, and had to unfortunately ta ke was flawed, and had to unfortunately take them to a tribunal, which i won at the end of last year. That was a year of your life trying to win that case . A whole year. To be honest im ashamed to say i resented my son for the first year of his life purely because of what happened to me. The emotional impact, the financial impact, the anxiety, the sleepless night and its something i live with my daily basis and its something i will never be able to forget that nights. Ui will never be able to forget that nights. U with a Different Company . I work for another organisation now nights you are working working with a Different Company. It is something i struggle with on a daily basis. My trust of individuals has changed. I basis. My trust of individuals has changed. Lam basis. My trust of individuals has changed. I am trying to rebuild my confidence but it takes time. I have spoken to 500 women over the last 12 months, they have contacted me, and its happening more and more often in this day and age. Its shocking how we treat our women. Shocking is the right word for this must sue, being a super clever woman, dealing with lots of women have done for centuries but being discriminated for it shocking is the right word for it shocking is the right word for this, sue. Listening to the pressure you have been put under, thats why we at ehrc are working to stop the discrimination and change attitudes upstream by offering to work with employers, supporting them, giving them tools and tips and giving them the chance to learn through each other through our working Forward Initiative and thats what we encourage them to do to plant a flag and said, we want to get rid of this from the workplace so people like her dont have to go through this again. Would that work . Do employers want to get this right . Beatitudes dont suggest that, some of them dont the attitudes. Beatitudes dont suggest that, some of them dont the attitudes. Ive been working closely with maternity action after what happened to me and 54,000 women lose theirjobs every year because of discrimination. The government could have acted on it, there was a report a year ago and theyve done nothing. It wouldnt have helped me, it would help women in the same situation. My view is a lot of them are doing this because theres a whole attitude around diversity, lets have a Diverse Workforce , diversity, lets have a Diverse Workforce, but were discriminating against our women. Sui, theres been against our women. Sui, theres been a number of businesses who have got in touch and said were a small business, its really hard for us, however you look at it it will more ifan however you look at it it will more if an employee goes Maternity Leave and when they come back they will need to take time off sue. How does it work for them . need to take time off sue. How does it work for them . I understand what Small Businesses are saying, however, it is a fact that they can claim back 103 of statutory maternity pay. Also i think its really important to realise that discrimination costs. We did research that showed British Business are losing £280 million every year through pregnancy maternity discrimination. A topic we could talk about four hours im sure. Thanks for coming in and telling us your story and thanks for eve ryo ne telling us your story and thanks for everyone who has sent messages in. Thats it from me. Thank you for telling your story and the impact on you, its really clear, thank you very much indeed. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

Theresa may will launch an independent review into Higher Education finance in england, saying many courses are notjudged to give value for money. Universities are free to charge up to just over £9,000 a year, depending on the course, but only a handful charge less than the maximum. Graduates in england now leave university with average debts of more than £50,000. Thats because Interest Rates on Student Loans now stand at 6. 1 . Political correspondent ben wright is in westminster. We have been talking to various sides on this this morning. This is going to be a review, we wont have any going to be a review, we wont have a ny a nswe rs going to be a review, we wont have any answers for some time . About a year, i think. It will go on for some time, it will be government led, not an entirely independent review, but the issue around rising student debt has been hot politics since 2012, when the government allowed the cap on fees to rise to around £9,000. But it has become particularly hot politics since labour announced they would scrap tuition fees altogether. That has made labour even more popular amongst students and young people but also, as theresa may will say today, pa rents parents and grandparents are concerned about this issue, which is why the government needs to address it. It does not seem that the whole is you of the way graduates pay for tuition is on the table, i think that will remain the way that universities are funded, but, as damian hinds, education secretary, told breakfast earlier, there are changes the government is considering. It is not like a normal debt in the sense that a lot of people will never pay back that full amount because we have an earnings threshold, £21,000, about to go up to 25. You dont pay back anything if you are earning under that. By the time 30 years has passed, whatever is left is written off, thatis whatever is left is written off, that is where the taxpayer subsidy comes in, so people should not be put off right now applying to university and so on. But it could be that the government decides to cap some courses at some universities. There is also an argument in the tory party about whether maintenance grants should be brought back to help cope with the costs, labour as well arguing for that. It will be a big debate about a very complex question. I think the political challenge for the government is coming up with an a nswer to some of these questions that does not just looked like a some of these questions that does notjust looked like a pale imitation of labours policy, which is why i think this is difficult territory for the government. Very interesting, lots of people interested in it. Thank you. Oxfam has revealed that Charity Workers physically threatened witnesses during an investigation into Sexual Misconduct in haiti in 2011. The report inlcudes accusations of bullying, intimidation of staff and use of prostitutes, as well as suggesting that oxfam bosses ignored a recommendation that better ways should be found to inform other charities about problem staff. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale reports. In the wake of the earthquake in haiti in 2010, seven of the oxfam staff sent there to help left the organisation as a result of their unacceptable behaviour. An internal report published today shows that one was dismissed and three resigned for using prostitutes on oxfam premises. Two more were dismissed for bullying and intimidation, one of whom also downloaded pornography. And another man was sacked for failing to protect staff. The report says three of the suspect physically threatened witnesses during the investigation. The 11 page document makes various recommendations, including finding better mechanisms for informing other aid agencies about so called problem staff. This is something that oxfam appears to have ignored as the charitys director in haiti went on to work for another Aid Organisation in bangladesh even though the charity says he resigned for using prostitutes. Parts of the report are blacked out to hide peoples identities, but oxfam says it has given an unredacted copy to haitian ministers whom senior ministers from the charity will meet later today. Senior the charity will meet later today. Senior managers the charity will meet later today. Senior managers from the charity.

For the past three years, the baftas and the oscars havent agreed on best picture, but this 2018 oscar race is the most open it in years.

The family of a young boy whos been refused a licence to take cannabis to control his epilepsy has vowed to fight against the ruling. Six year old Alfie Dingley from warwickshire has a condition that causes him to have up to 30 violent seizures every day. His parents say treating him with cannabis oil dramtically reduces the symptoms. But the home office has ruled the treatment will remain illegal in the uk. Alfies mum joins us on the sofa, but first lets take a look at their journey so far. When Alfie Dingley has seizures, he can have as many as 30 in a day. Multiply that over a number of weeks, and one year he got to 3000, meaning 48 trips to hospital. The numbers when he went to the netherlands were very different. There, he was prescribed a cannabis based treatment. No attacks in 24 days. But a license for him to use the medication here has been turned down. The government says it can only be used for research at the moment, but a group of mp5 is calling on the home secretary to make an exception. If we can find a way for her around the regulations that exist, and we believe that we can, she can issue a licence to make sure that alfie can get this medicine. Counting up, there are good days in alfies life as well as bad, but his parents say even just one bad day is enough. Alfies mum, hannah deacon, joins us now. Thank you so much for coming on this morning. I know this is an issue really close to your heart but can you explain from your perspective alfies condition and why it is so serious . Can i firstlyjust say if anyone out there is watching that feels struck by us, please follow our facebook page, alfies hope, we have a link there to our campaign and they can be there and please lobby their mps so we can move forward on this. You have a lot of mps forward on this. You have a lot of mp5 on your side, so tell us a bit about his condition . He has a condition called pcdh19, he is one of nine boys in the world, incredibly rare, but he is the only one responding to an intravenous steroid used for people who have anaphylactic shock, so it is something to be used sparingly, not every week, not up to five times a week, which is what was happening to him for the last 18 months before he had treatment with medical cannabis. So he went abroad to get the medical cannabis . We went to holland under a neurological paediatrician, so we did everything officially and properly with the doctor. And it made, as far as you could tell, a big difference . An astounding result. We went from having seen clusters, very severe clusters, of seizures every four to ten days where he would have up to five doses of intravenous steroids to having one seizure a month where he would still need an intravenous steroid but our neurologist said we need to find a way of reducing the amount of steroids we are using. Which is a com plete steroids we are using. Which is a complete difference of life not only for you but for him as well . It is amazing, you went from being locked in his body, not socialising, actually being very. Hitting people, being aggressive, because he was full of steroids all the time, full of drugs, everything kabaddi went from back to playing with his sister, interacting with her, noticing things, starting to spell words, talking to me and his dad, being a different child. It was just wonderful, wonderfulfor being a different child. It was just wonderful, wonderful for us. And you could not stay there so you have come back here and what has happened . Your request for a licence to prescribe this, it is cannabis . It is basically a whole plant cannabis oil which has two parts, cbd and thc. Cbd is legal in this country to consume but not the thc. And one does not work without the other for and one does not work without the otherfor him . And one does not work without the other for him . Not for him, no. The government says, we recognise that people with chronic pain are looking to alleviate symptoms but it is important medicines are thoroughly tested to ensure they meet rigorous standards before being placed on the market said doctors and patients are assured of efficacy, quality and safety. So where are you, what can you do now . We know the all Parliamentary Group have called for the home secretary to issue a licence. But i would say to the statement is that we have used a paediatric urologist in holland, we have not gone somewhere to buy, we used a company who have, who make medical cannabis, they have a licence in the eu, the only certification for a company in the eu, they are a pharmaceutical grade oil. This is safe. And also what i would say is, my son, from eight months old, has been injected with opiates, with steroids, they are not safe for children. There is no Clinical Data to say that is safe. And you can see the impact, as you said. My son will die or have psychosis if we carry on the way we were. This product we are using is safe, it is made by a medical company, it is available in 11 eu countries, soon to be 14. We need to catch up. Medical cannabis has a value and, for my son, who is unique, iam value and, for my son, who is unique, i am not opening the floodgates for anyone, he is unique, iam asking floodgates for anyone, he is unique, i am asking for some compassion and humanity. Hannah, you have a very powerful testimony and we are really thankful you have come on the sofa to talk to us about that this morning. You have painted a pretty stark reality for you and alfie going forward, what what happens now, what is the next step . With the support of the all party Parliamentary Group on drugs reform, we will carry on asking questions, we will carry on asking questions, we will. I would like to speak with amber rudd and i would like to speak to jeremy hunt, with amber rudd and i would like to speak tojeremy hunt, i want them to know my reality with my son in a e, every week, watching him have a seizure, watching him go home, wishing he would live, that is my reality. That is my reality, that is his reality, if we do not get access to this medication. And it is wrong, they are lumping cannabis into, schedule one drug, it is not about recreational use, this is a separate issue entirely. I am so sorry. And we will keep fighting. We will lobby everyone, we will get public support and ask everyone to support us. Thank you for coming in. Thank you for having me on. Alfies mother. Very power. Read. Very powerful story. After some fairly cold weather of late, frost free start to monday morning, notjust here in london but uk wide, plenty of cloud coming in, but it does mean, as you can see, we have some raid around. Rain around. Patchy rain to content with. Especially across eastern areas. Inaudible struggling through the night. Frost free start. Taking a closer look at what has been happening across the country, over the next hour or two, parts of scotland, breaks around, the odd heavy one. Brightening up a little bit in some parts of northern scotland, heavy bursts of rain in Northern England, parts of the midlands, east anglia and the south east, most of it is light and patchy and it makes for a rather grey and murky start to the monday morning, even if it is mild and frost free. The cloud will sit in place across many eastern areas during today, eastern scotland and england in particular, rain and drizzle will come and go through it. In the west, brightening up, lighter shades of grey, you glimpses of blue. We will see temperatures somewhere between ten and 13 degrees. Finish the afternoon as you can see with some rain edging into the west of Northern Ireland, and parts of western scotland, fairly narrow showery rain, evening rush hour, that will work across, and eastern scotland and some parts of Eastern England will see further heavy bursts of rain, but also, breaking up across northern areas, by the time we get to dawn in the morning. Cold nights to come, in the north and the west, and scotland, Northern Ireland, will be waking up toa Northern Ireland, will be waking up to a touch of frost. After grey skies for quite a few of you today, tomorrow, more sunshine around across northern and western parts, what a bright day, eastern counties, lots of cloud, and kinship, east anglia, most prone to holding onto that, staying with patchy light rain and drizzle throughout, still staying with a generally mild feel, aircoming off the staying with a generally mild feel, air coming off the atlantic. Temperatures for some into double figures. Through tuesday night and into wednesday, cloud across lincolnshire, east anglia, southeast, pushing across other southern counties and south wales developing breeze. Frost free into wednesday morning, frosty start further north, north south split, sunniest weather will be in the northern part, most places drive. Breeze picking up. Instead of the wind coming off the atlantic, coming off the near continent, potential sign of what is to come. No done deal, increasing signs that towards the end of the week and into next week, significant cold spell on its way, we can see a return to widespread frost and suppressed temperatures through much of the afternoon as well. We will keep you updated on that one, in the time being, mild monday but for some of you a bit of a damp one as well. Nearly lost in gremlins, im sure it will be ok now. Evening of protest, solidarity and black gowns at the ba fta solidarity and black gowns at the bafta awards, they even dished out some prizes. the big winner was three billboards outside ebbing missouri. It picked up best actress and best film, and gary gold men winning again, best actor, but his portrayal of Winston Churchill in the darkest hour. Gary oldman. Thank you for speaking with us about this, we understand there is important this, we understand there is im porta nt protests this, we understand there is important protests and campaigns using these award ceremonies at the moment to get their point out there but it almost seems the case, i wonder what it is like from your perspective, we are not talking about critically acclaimed work as well, picking up these awards. Night of very mixed messages, celebrating film, on the other hand, eve ryo ne celebrating film, on the other hand, everyone getting up there and accepting an award or giving out one. They felt they needed to reference the campaign and Say Something about what is going on but it is important to do that and there was terrific films on it, not many surprises but definitely worthy winners. Now, lots of people have been talking about the winner, three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. Equally popular with voters and critics and audiences of all ages, it isa critics and audiences of all ages, it is a balance between tragedy and comedy, mother is fighting for justice after the death of her daughter, incredible performance by Frances Mcdormand and who does not love her, she has wonderful Energy Behind her, bitingly funny. It is a very strong oscar contender. After the bafta award. What about gary 0ldman, picking up everything going at the moment for his portrayal of Winston Churchill. Sure thing, nobody supplies at all when he won for darkest hour, it is transformative, he has not done anything like this before, field is timely. The darkest hour. Emotional speech, before, field is timely. The darkest hour. Emotionalspeech, he was very moved, and doing a good speech although sexual for the oscars very well. Any surprise winners . Hardly any, the handmaiden for best foreign film has been a surprise, because the director did not even turn up. So much so the director did not turn up. The handmaiden. Everything has been as i would have predicted recently, front runners have changed, dunkirk was a hot favourite, that went home only with best sound. In a piece today talking about the greatest showman is back in cinemas, the singalong version. I cannot remember reading a review of yours, for the film the greatest showman, semi people going to see it again and again and again. Three out of five on that one, fun and lively and entertaining, did what it said on the tin without ever feeling remarkably realistic or particularly awards worthy. In many peoples eyes, the fact that critics have said this is terrible, they are enjoying it even more. have said this is terrible, they are enjoying it even more. I think it is great entertainment, i can see why people enjoyed it. Hopefully we will speak with you after the Academy Awards in a couple of years time. And later on, we have sent out reported to a singalong version. That is what is going on. It is going on in my head all the time my wife has been to see it, my kids are desperate to see it, sorry children, we will do it, also, the soundtrack is the number one selling soundtrack, big in cinemas for a long time, it is on all the time in the house, and so i can hear it now, ican hear the house, and so i can hear it now, i can hear it. We will have a report on that, i love a good singalong. I can see why it would be working. It is known for spectacular illuminations, Something Else has been lighting up, the sky in blackpool this week in common here it is. This is beautiful, it is wonderful. Mesmerising murmur ratio of starlings, swooping on the seaside town, taking on wonderful waves and shapes, the birds gather together to keep safe. Murmuration. And to Exchange Information about feeding sites. If that was near to you, you would pop down and have a look. I dont know if it happens often, but there are bridges in london, every evening, the starlings do this and it is absolutely wonderful. I remember cycling over and watching it. Beautiful strangeways. Coming up shortly, well be in pyeongchang, where it was an excellent weekend for teamgb at the Winter Olympics, with Super Saturday providing three medals and james woods coming agonisingly close to adding another in the ski slopestyle yesterday, well talk to him in the next few minutes. People weeping openly over lizzie yarnold, you put so much hard work into it, thinking about pulling out of it and then you produce the goods and win your second gold medal, first person ever to do it. We will be speaking with someone who nearly got a medal shortly. James woods, of course. Success stories and near misses, that is what the olympics is all about. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where good morning, we had a frost free nights, temperatures for all of us we re nights, temperatures for all of us were above freezing but the downside to that as we have lots of cloud around at the moment and some ad brea ks around at the moment and some ad breaks of rain. Rain is courtesy of this warm front which is just struggling eastern areas of the uk the moment but with that weather system we have got some mild air which is pushing its way in which is why today will feel quite pleasant if you get some sunshine, and that is most favoured towards Northern Ireland, Western Areas of scotland, even ireland, Western Areas of scotland, eve n a cross ireland, Western Areas of scotland, even across west wales and the far south west of england, a bit of sunshine here. Further east will stay cloudy, gloomy with some rain at times and temperatures more like seven to ten or 11 degrees. There will be a spell of rain moving through Northern Ireland overnight tonight, that will move eastwards, it will merge with the rain across eastern areas so these paths again staying quite cloudy, wet at times, further north and west a bit drier but a game frost free. Most temperatures stay well above freezing. But tuesdayit stay well above freezing. But tuesday it sells, a game, similar across eastern areas with lots of cloud, some rain. The scotland, though, Northern Ireland, Western Areas of england and wales, more sunshine compared to today and temperatures once again in double figures. But as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday, things are changing slightly, we will still have quite a bit of cloud across southern and eastern areas, the rain has disappeared, further north and west with clear skies and cold air moving in, that is when we could do the return of some frost, as we go into the rest of the week that will become more of a feature. This is wednesdays forecast, cloudy across central and southern areas, further north and west that is where due have good spells of sunshine, a dry day for all others during wednesday but temperatures coming down by a few degrees, you can seat there seven to eight or 9 degrees.
