As a new report warns of cuts to come. And a warning that the cost of insuring your car could be on the rise again. And more protests in rugby that italy were a little too clever against england at twickenham. Coming up in the sport on bbc news. After Claudio Ranieris sacking, Craig Shakespeare leads the champions who are in the Relegation Zone into their match with liverpool tonight. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. Its a moment that will live long in oscars history, when at the 89th Annual Awards in los angeles, the actors Warren Beatty and faye dunaway read out the wrong winner of the best picture award. While the team behind the favourite, the musical la la land, were handed the oscar, in fact the gritty Drama Moonlight was the real winner. A mix up of envelopes is being blamed, and the organisers have issued a sincere apology. Our arts editor Will Gompertz reports on a night of hollywood drama, and farce. It was supposed to be the grand finale of a wonderful oscars night. Warren beatty and faye dunaway, Bonnie And Clyde 50 years ago, came to present the prestigious best picture academy award. The veteran actor opens the all important envelope and pulls out the card on which the winners name is written. He seems unsure. The academy award. And then a bit perplexed. The drums are rolling. For best picture. Faye dunaway thinks he is playing is the laughs. La la land. And read the name on the card. So it is hugs all round for the lala land crew. An emotionaljordan horowitz, the producer, profusely thanked friends and family. Thank you to my pa rents. Friends and family. Thank you to my parents. As the speeches continue, a small commotion develops. There is a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won best picture. This is not a joke. Moonlight has won best picture. Moonlight. Best picture. The team from moonlight, a coming of age drama set in the mean streets of miami are delighted and bemused. Drama set in the mean streets of miami are delighted and Bemusedlj Wa Nt to miami are delighted and bemusedlj want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope and it said emma stone, la la land. That is why i took such a long look at faye and at you, i wasnt trying to be funny. He had been given the wrong envelope. There are duplicate sets of envelopes produced by the two auditors from accountancy practice pwc, a firm that has overseen the Academy Awards are more than 80 yea rs. Academy awards are more than 80 years. They released a statement saying they apologise to moonlight, la la land, Warren Beatty, faye dunaway and oscars view is that the error. They said they had been mistakenly given the wrong envelope and when discovered it was corrected. They are investigating and deeply regretted it occurred. Things happen, you make a movie. It is human error. Whatever happened, i dont know what happened, it happened, but the result was the same. We are good, the two camps. We will wake up tomorrow. We wont go to sleep but tomorrow we will figure out what happened. The night was memorable for other less calamitous reasons. Moonlights success was not just limited to best picture. Mahershala ali was recognised his supporting role and became the first muslim to win an oscar. Damien chazelle won best director, becoming the youngest person to win that category. Emma stone won actress. Viola davis Supporting Actress Triumph For Fences was another win that helped the oscars feel a little less white. Are there longer term fallout from this . This is a show produced to within an inch of its life. It is an extraordinary thing to happen. They stand on either side of the stage, with the cases, you saw in the image, the two from pwc. There is a duplicate set of cards. There is a duplicate set of cards. There were two given out and i am sure they will do all they can to ensure it does not happen again but the fact is it happened, it was seen by hundreds of millions of people and it overshadowed an evening that was historic in other ways. I talked about mahershala ali, winning supporting actor role for moonlight, the first muslim actor to win that award. Given the state of this country and the anxiety, the president ial comments, the travel ban, that was a big deal. Viola davis wins best supporting actress. It felt the oscars were less white this year. Cheryl boone isaacs, the president of the academy, has tried ha rd to president of the academy, has tried hard to change the shape of the Voting Structure and it seems to work. Whether it is a shift and change in the Academy Awards, we will see, but if a mistake like that happens again, my goodness, they will make a movie out of it. Many thanks. More than two and a half years after being set up, the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales has begun holding its first hearings. The inquiry was prompted by the jimmy savile scandal, and is expected to take five years to complete. Todays sessions focused on the abuse of british children sent abroad after the Second World War, but the hearing has been marred but a serious data breach. Our Home Affairs Correspondent tom symonds is in Central London. This enquiry has been accused of concentrating too much on the past and not enough on the protection of children here and now. But it says that those children sent abroad after the Second World War for a better life are now reaching their elderly yea rs better life are now reaching their elderly years and still suffering from the effects of what happened to them. The inquiry says they deserve an investigation into what happened after waiting 60 years. It is a cruel detail that some of britains Child Migrants were falsely told their parents had died. For decades there had been efforts to reunite them with their british families. Now an inquiry, with many of the powers of a court, is sitting down to the job of understanding why it happened. Child migration programmes were large scale schemes, in which thousands of children, many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, illegitimate or in the care of the state, were systematically and permanently migrated to remote parts of the british empire. The Liner Asturias arrives at fremantle from Great Britain with 931 new migrants for this country. We anticipate that you will hear evidence that these children were put on board ships departing from england and wales without being given any real understanding of where they were going, what they were doing, or why they were being sent. More than 4,000 ended up in farm schools or remote religious institutions, mainly in australia. Physical labour, poor food, mistreatment. This is what theyll tell the inquiry. We were sent to what we can only describe as labour camps. Where we were starved, beaten and abused in despicable ways. Sexual abuse, worst at religious institutions like this one, is what this inquiry is really about. Its never been examined in detail. I was only ten. This man in a suit came to see me and said, your mothers dead, you know, so, howd you like to go to australia . In 2011, the story of a nottinghamshire social worker, Margaret Humphreys battle to uncover the scandal was made into a feature film. She has campaigned for 30 years for todays hearings. We want to know whats happened, we want to know who did it and we want to know who covered it up for so long. Of course we need to know about it. There are consequences for children, today. But this is just the start of something bigger. This inquiry will cover abuse in lambeth and nottinghamshire children homes, schools in rochdale, custodial institutions, residential schools, and both the anglican and catholic churches. Yet resignations and controversy have delayed this work. And today, there was another untimely embarrassment, the inquiry sent out an e mail in which it was possible to read the E Mail Addresses of everyone who received it, including some people who have been sexually abused and are entitled to legal anonymity. The inquiry has had to report itself to the information commissioner. These are the very people that we are supposed to be relying on to keep our data safe. Especially the details about our abuse. And so it has made some survivors very worried. Many never recover. And it distracts from the inquirys real work. And are permanently afflicted with guilt, shame, diminished self confidence, low self esteem. Which is hard enough. Tom symons, bbc news at the child abuse inquiry. The former prime minister, Sirjohn Major, is warning theresa may that voters are being given unreal and over optimistic expectations about brexit and that the costs of leaving the eu will be substantial and unpalatable. Hes making a speech in Central London right now and James Landale joins us with the details. What more can you tell us . His point is simple. Namely in his view the british people have been given too much of a rosy picture of the consequences of brexit and talks about the substantial and very unpalatable about the substantial and very u npalata ble costs about the substantial and very unpalatable costs of the divorce deal and bill we might have to pay when britain leaves. He said there is only a slim chance of britain getting a trade deal with the eu that would match the current Single Market and says if there is not a deal, relying on basic trade deals would be the worst possible outcome. He talks about the political costs of brexit, having to rely on what he saysis of brexit, having to rely on what he says is an unreliable and less predictable american president and what he calls the serious threat to peace in Northern Ireland, about Border Restrictions there. His critics will say it is a case of a quy critics will say it is a case of a guy who campaigned for remain and has not got it, in denial about the result. I think sirjohns response would say it is about the government not managing expectation correctly. He said theresa may has to listen to parliament more. He has to be able. To face down her critics in parliament especially what sirjohn calls ha rd Core Brexiteers Parliament especially what sirjohn calls hard Core Brexiteers who want total divorce from europe at any cost. The shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has warned theres what he calls a soft coup under way to oustjeremy corbyn. He says the Labour Leader is being undermined by elements within the party, in an alliance with Rupert Murdochs media interests. Mr corbyn was today welcoming gavin snell to westminster, after his victory in last weeks stoke central by election. Crewe alexandrias director of football, dario gradi, is to appeal against his suspension from working in the game. He was suspended by the fa in november, following claims hed Smoothed Over an allegation of sexual abuse, involving a Youth Team Player while he was coaching at chelsea in the 1970s. Gradi has always denied any wrongdoing. Schools in england are facing their biggest cuts in funding for 20 years. The Institute For Fiscal Studies says despite money from Central Government being frozen until 2020, inflation means that amounts to a real terms cut of 6. 5 per pupil. The Department For Education says School Funding is at its highest level on record. And it is also planning a shake up in the way money is shared out across schools in england. Market towns like nantwich dont see many demos. This morning, hundreds turned out in the cold. Parents wanting a better funding deal for schools. The funding model isnt fair. Why should children in other areas of britain receive more funding than they do here . Im on benefits. Im a single parent with three children. Without the schools, they wouldnt have those opportunities. I think the fact that they would have things cut like the arts and music, things that will make a well rounded education, to have teachers that maybe its not their subject thats going to have to teach mainstream subjects as well, its just really shocking in this day and age that they wont have the choices. Theres a strong sense of injustice amongst the parents here. But in an area that was already one of the lowest funded in england, they face getting even less cash under this new deal. We are using subject terminology, present participle. They have to pass the same exams, but theres less money here for each pupil than most of england. That will get a little worse under government plans. The bills the school has to pay are going up. Altogether, it means losing £160,000. The equivalent of ii teaching staff. Performance, music, drama, pe, all these subjects. Creativity will be lost. Should you have the same money as an inner city . Where there are lots of children with difficulties and problems . Where we are at the moment is in crewe, a very deprived area. With many children with english as an additional language, with lots of high Needs Children and lots of issues that you would find in an inner city school. You guys were lucky, you got some expert tuition. But do the winners under the new deal feel lucky . The other end of england in yeovil, teachers pay is similar. Somerset would get a bigger share but still faces the same rise in bills. We welcome any additional funding that we are awarded for our students. Our major concern is the amount being proposed is minor, compared to the gaps that we face in many areas in the country already. Its an absolute drop in the ocean. And schools arent used to tearing strips off their budget. Theyve had increases for two decades. Ministers argue funding is at record levels but when money is tight, changes are controversial. Branwen jeffreys, bbc news. It is 60 minutes past six. Our top story this evening fiasco at the oscars. Best picture award given to the wrong film. Still to come, the government is under pressure over plans to limit access toa pressure over plans to limit access to a new disability benefit. And coming up, clever clever tactics or is rugby union in need of a rule change . How italys approach against england in the six nations yesterday continues to divide opinion. People liable for compensation for personal injuries will get bigger pay outs, under new rules. However the changes could cost the nhs as much as £1 billion, because of claims over negligent treatment. Insurers say the new rules are crazy, and are warning premiums for car owners will have to rise. Heres our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. Compensation is a lifeline for people like tom, awarded £1. 5 million after losing a leg in an accident at work. Tom thinks its right that victims should get more to pay for recovery and ongoing costs. I miss my leg dearly, you know. This prosthetics amazing, but its nowhere near a human leg. Prosthetics arent cheap. These legs are top of the range legs at £70,000 each. Whether its from an industrial accident or from a car accident, insurers have been able to keep down the lump sum they pay victims by saying well, they can invest it and make an income from it. Now the governments saying in these days of very low interest rates, they will have to assume that people will make less than nothing from year to year out of their compensation, and that means insurers having to pay out much more upfront. I say they can afford it. Theyve known this was coming down the track. They failed to put the money aside and anticipate that risk, and they are now suffering the consequences of that. Instead of putting the money to one side, they paid it out in dividends, profits and salaries. Insurers gave an example of a 30 year old who needed to be looked after permanently, who would get a £31; million payment now, a sum which would more than double under the new formula to £8. 3 million. To cover the cost, the typical comprehensive motor policy of £450 would rise by £75, with bigger increases for younger drivers. The Insurers Association said the move from the lord chancellor liz truss was reckless. This is a crazy decision by the lord chancellor, which is likely to lead to significantly increased premiums for motorists and businesses through no fault of their own because of her use of a broken formula which needs to be updated urgently. The nhs is affected, too. It will have to pay £1 billion each year more in compensation for medical negligence, billed the government has promised to cover. So, should drivers, hospitals and employers pay more so that Accident Victims are looked after . Ministers have promised a consultation before easter on whether the rules should be reformed. Lets take a brief look at some of the days other top stories. The government says so far theres no evidence that the safety of patients has been put at risk, because more than 700,000 nhs documents have been mislaid. Letters between gps and hospitals were mistakenly stored in a warehouse by a private company, instead of being redirected when a patient changed doctor, or moved away. The bbc has ordered an investigation into the conduct of tv licence fee collectors, following reports they targeted Vulnerable People who hadnt paid. The director general tony hall, has written to the company which collects fees, capita, expressing serious concern. Ajudge has heard how a man described as a gentle giant stabbed his former girlfriend and her new partner to Death Outside the shop where they worked in cardiff. Andrew saunders has pleaded guilty to the murder of zoe morgan, who was 21, and lee simmons, who was 33, near the matalan store in the city centre last september. One of theresa mays key policy advisers has said he regrets any offence caused by comments in which he appeared to suggest people suffering from anxiety were not disabled. George freeman had suggested personal independence payments, or pips, should go to really disabled people rather than those taking pills at home. Heres our disability Affairs Correspondent nikki fox. This is an issue about support and who needs it the most. Personal independence payments, thats the money given to help cover the extra costs of having a disability, that is once again back in the spotlight. Its a benefit that would help someone its a benefit that would help someone like dean, whos had severe anxiety for most of his life. Ive had 35 years suffering from this. Ive worked for 30 of those years andi ive worked for 30 of those years and i never really realised it was a disability. But in the last year, absolutely. When you are too scared to go outside your front door and just do basic things, then yes. Having lost his job just do basic things, then yes. Having lost hisjob in november, dean has been unable to work since, so hes applied for the benefit and is waiting to find out whether he will be eligible. But hes not hopeful. Two independent Tribunal S Have decided that more people should be eligible for pip, but the government disagrees. Yesterday, theresa mays chief of policy said this on the bbc. These tweaks to do with running back some bizarre decisions from the tribunal said now mean benefits being given to two people who take pills at home who suffer from anxiety. We want to make sure to get the money to the people who deserve it. He expressed his regret over any offence his comments may have caused. Ministers showed no sign of budging on this. They want to undo the court ruling saying it would cost them £3. 7 billion. To undo the court ruling saying it would cost them {3. 7 billionm isnt based purely on money. If you think about what is personal independence payments, they are just one part of a very sophisticated and broad welfare package. What we are trying to do is create as much of a tailored support for individuals as possible. When you have millions of people applying for it, living with all kinds of different conditions, you do need to draw some rules and some distinction somewhere. Jo has Rheumatoid Arthritis and used It Disability Living Allowance but when that changed to pip, she was told she was no longer eligible. |j that changed to pip, she was told she was no longer eligible. I was able to use that money to pay for a ca re able to use that money to pay for a care Worker Agency and they held with things like shopping, basic things like cooking a meal, washing and bathing. Forjo the goalposts have shifted already but the definitive line of what is considered a disability is still up for debate. World rugby is considering whether to review the laws of the sport, after tactics italy used against england in yesterdays six nations clash. The italians have been accused of gamesmanship, after their refusal to engage in a particular part of the match. But others have praised their cleverness, as our Sports Correspondent Richard Conway reports. To the uninitiated, rugbys rules can at times be slightly confusing. Yesterday, well, it was the turn of the players to ask the questions. Ijust wanted to do what the rule was, what the exact rule is. Englands coach went as far as to question what sport the italians were playing. Well, it wasnt rugby. Lets face the facts. You know, youve got to have an offside line to play the game. The issue stemmed from whats known as a ruck. As seen in scotlands game against wales on saturday, its formed after a tackle, when at least one player from each side on their feet close around the ball on the ground. When that happens, imaginary lines are drawn through the foot of the last players in the ruck. Players on the wrong side of those lines are offside. But if one team doesnt compete for the ball, then a ruck is not formed and no offside line exists. That meant italy could block englands passing route. Englands passing routes. Causing chaos. At twickenham, theres even a statue that embodies sportsmanship, but there are those who believe there wasnt much of it on display here yesterday from the italians, and questions persist. Was what happened against the games cherished code of fair play . Or was it simply tactical innovation at its most ruthless . If theres a law within the game and italy exploited the law, and its completely legal, then theres absolutely nothing wrong with that for me. Actually, italy did what they had to do. In 1981, australias Trevor Chapple bowled underarm to deny new zealand a chance of victory. And in 1999, this Goalforced A Rematch after arsenal took advantage of Sheffield United putting the ball out of play due to an injury. The record books will show england won this match, but with world rugby considering a clariification on how the law is applied, it may prove in time to have much greater significance. Time for a look at the weather. Heres john hammond. Everything except the kitchen sink. Beautiful rainbows taken on by some of our weather watchers. But you need sunshine and rain for rainbows. Its been pouring down across some parts of the uk and in others, a real taste of late winter with heavy snowfall and for many, we settled into a fine evening with clearing skies. Still snowing across the highest ground of North England and the borders. That will clear away. Further wintry showers will push in on the breeze across western part of finland and wales in particular and the odd one further east. Watch out forice the odd one further east. Watch out for ice Eastern Western Parts of england. Damages could get below freezing. Another clutch of Rain Fringing Western Scotland and Northern Ireland over high ground. Through the irish sea. Elsewhere, bright and crisp and a sunny start of the day for many but it will be called despite the sunshine. It will cloud over a cross west despite the sunshine. It will cloud over across west wales and some showers on the way. Further east, not ruling out the odd shower from the word go across eastern england. Plenty of sunshine across central and eastern areas in the morning. It wont last forever. Wintry showers, with snow on highest ground. Moving slowly west to east. The rain and hill snow lodged across Northern England in the afternoon. Best of sunshine across central and northern parts of scotland and wintry showers in the far north. It will be cold, particular when those showers come on. That chap clears eastwards, which allows temperatures to fall again as we go through the night. First thing wednesday, A Touch Of Frost in Northern Areas and this chap arrives across the south west with some rain and some uncertainty about how far north it gets. The brightness by the north. Another chilly feeling day. Drops and changes this week. Some rain, some sunshine and ongoing risk of snow across more than Northern Areas. A reminder of our main story. An investigation into the biggest blunder in the history of the oscars after the award for best picture was given to the wrong film. Just time to tell you that coming up in the bbc news at ten. We look at why its ten times more likely children will become part of the Child Protection system if they live in the poorest areas in the uk. One mother tells us her story. When you have to choose between putting gas on the meter or eating, which ive had to do, its difficult. If you havent been there, you cant possibly understand the pressure of that. Thats later tonight. But its goodbye from me, and the six oclock news team. And now on bbc one, its time for news where you are. Have a very good evening. Hello. This is bbc news. The headlines. Lets cross over to Chatham House where Sirjohn Major is making his first public intervention since the uk voted to leave the eu. He says that britons have been offered an overly optimistic vision offered an overly optimistic vision of what brexit will look like. Hastily cobbled together. Or we can seek a transitional relationship perhaps for three to five years which as nonmembers we would have to pay, and minimum option would involve staying in the Customs Union and submitting to the jurisdiction of the European Court ofjustice. Or, we can trade with the European Union on a World Trade Organisation basis. The more one examines probabilities, the more contentious becomes the task of leaving. Some of the most committed brexit supporters wished to have a clean break and trade only under wto rules. This
