Winner Frances Mcdormand said she was backing it without wearing black herself. I have a little trouble with compliance. Good morning. Its monday 19 february. Welcome to bbc newsroom live. Theresa may will announce a year long review this lunchtime into how Higher Education is funded, admitting that england has one of the most expensive systems of tuition in the world. In a speech in derbyshire, the Prime Minister, who will say she shares the concerns of students and parents about the cost of getting a degree. 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 . 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. Good morning. The university and couege good morning. The university and College Union says this review needs to be radical and needs to explore genuine alternatives to become system, not just system, notjust tinkering around the edges. What can we expect from this review, in your opinion . Well, what we know as it will not lead to the scrapping of the tuition fees system. The government has said that as sacrosanct and it will say. We also know that the government to not wa nt also know that the government to not want taxpayers to have to foot the bill furniture hinges. So the range of options becomes somewhat more limited. Foot the bill for any changes. All the signs are the government is not looking to force universities to lower fees. Instead, this to be looking at encouraging universities to offer a broader range of fees. 0n the way they hope to do that is basically by giving stu d e nts to do that is basically by giving students more information about the value they get from courses. Which courses have good job prospects, which pay higher salaries, and which do not. The thinking being that students, or potential students, will then be a lot more picky about what sort of courses they do, and might be less inclined to do, say, some arts courses which do not have particularly great Career Prospects. And as a result of that, it is argued that universities might have to lower the cost of those courses to lower the cost of those courses to get students to do them. But the education secretary damian hinds was stressing about fees are on the one part of the cost of facing potential students. It is not just it is notjust about it is not just about the fee you charge for a three year course, it is about having more compressed courses, such as two years, more options to study while you are working, maybe more people who can do commuting degrees, not having to move to another town or city. All of these aspects are important, and also thinking about the link with a joined up system with Technical Education post 18, and some of those other qualifications in the disciplines that are really important for our countrys future. The government is also looking at more support for poor students, in terms of maintenance support. That does not necessarily mean the return ofa does not necessarily mean the return of a maintenance grant. It could be that perhaps you might be charged a lower Interest Rate oN Maintenance loa ns. Lower Interest Rate oN Maintenance loans. Labour, of course, have committed to reintroduce maintenance gra nts committed to reintroduce maintenance grants and to scrap the higher tuition fee system the entire tuition fee system the entire tuition fee system the entire tuition fee system. This morning, we heard that the decision to hold the review was evidence that the government wasjust review was evidence that the government was just trying to delay ticking any decisions. The Prime Minister has tried to kick the controversial issue of fees into the long grass by setting up a review. She knows that fees of £9,250 and 6. 1 on the student debt is no longer sustainable. She is in search of the Silver Bullet which will give lower fees but not lead to escalating costs for government. Im afraid there isnt a Silver Bullet, there are choices to be made, and i suspect she has tried to put those choices off until after brexit. Pa rt part of the governments tinting is obviously to try to reach out to Younger Voters. Many tory mps take the view that they did not have enough positive things to say to Younger Voters at the last election. Perhaps going some way towards matching Jeremy Corbyns offer, and partly to have something to talk about other than brexit. But we wont know the details of the governments final package until the review concludes in about a years time. Norman, thank you very much. Norman smith in westminster. An internal 0xfam report on the Sexual Misconduct of some of its staff in haiti in 2011 has revealed that three of the men involved physically threatened witnesses during the investigation. The charity has published the document for the first time, saying it wants to be as transparent as possible. Heres our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. In the wake of the earthquake in haiti in 2010, seven of the 0xfam 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 0xfam 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 0xfam 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 0xfam says it has given an unredacted copy to haitian ministers whom senior managers from the charity will meet later today. James landale, bbc news. A paedophile University Lecturer who posed as a woman online to target more than a0 victims is to be sentenced today. 29 year old Matthew Falder has admitted blackmailing women into sending him humiliating images of themselves. Falder was caught in an International Police operation, after three of his victims tried to kill themselves. Phil mackie is at Birmingham Crown court. Falder has been described by the National Crime agency is one of the most dangerous and depraved offenders it has encountered. Tell us offenders it has encountered. Tell us about the background of this case and how he was caught. It is a truly sickening case, some of the offences that he committed or encouraged other people to commit over the yea rs other people to commit over the years a re other people to commit over the years are so other people to commit over the years are so depraved, so disgusting and disturbing, that really, i wouldnt want to go into the details of them precisely. Suffice it to say that he is now being sentenced here at Birmingham Crown court and can expect to face a hefty prison sentence for those offences. As you say, more than a0 victims. 130 or more accounts to which he has pleaded guilty. There was an investigation that took several yea rs investigation that took several years and bobbing agencies from six different countries, including the National Crime agency and gchq from the uk, so the Australian Federal authorities and us homeland security. His offending fell into four broad types of offence, the first that he found victims very young, women, who were on gumtree advertising for the sun that. He then approached them and managed to get them to send photos of themselves topless or nude by pertaining to be a woman who was interested in art, then send further imagery in the second indictment on this list, he was involved in secretly filming women and blackmailing them. There are offences which involve a young man from america, and a lot of counts in that case. And finally, he shared these images with paedophiles around these images with paedophiles around the world on some of the most extreme hurtcore sites on the dark web. Thejudge has begun on the indictment, these are the gumtree victims. He said, you wanted to assume total control over victims, you are cruel and an intuitive, and the effect on the scales was devastating. The damage is ongoing for some of those individuals. We know several people, as you said an introduction, thought about if not tried to take their own lives. 0ne 01 tried to take their own lives. 0ne or two of those victims have bravely turned up to Birmingham Crown court today, and one of them read out her own victim impact statement at the beginning of this sentencing hearing the week before last. In fact, the judge said that particular woman was very brave. She was a 15 year old at the time of the incident. We expect the time of the incident. We expect the sentencing hearing to go on for another hour or so, and as soon as we get it we will bring you the details of how long Matthew Falder must spend in prison for these sickening crimes. Thank you very much, phil. Former shareholders in the collapsed construction giant, carillion, are calling for its management to be investigated. Some have told mps that the companys executives must have known or should have known about its cash flow problems well before it went into liquidation last month. At the same time, say mps, investors were fleeing for the hills. Joe lynam reports. Carillion collapsed last month. Today, we heard from the companys biggest former shareholders, many of them got out before it was too late. In letters to mps, it was said that should be an investigation into the Company Former management. Another big shareholder said that carillion management had played down any potential risks. While a canadian shareholder needed for attempts to get a meeting with carolyns former chief executive. Four attempts. The people working continued faithfully to work. The people drawing mega salaries, and as soon as the shareholders have a look, the grand for the hills. That was the real warning sign, and none of the regulators sintered to be aware of what was happening. Anyone left Holding Shares in carillion when it was liquidated or lost all their money. But thousands of former employees lost their jobs money. But thousands of former employees lost theirjobs and livelihoods. Three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri has dominated the bafta film awards, winning five trophies. 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. The start of his report contains flash photography. Black dresses on the red carpet, all part of the ongoing times up campaign aimed at fair and equal treatment for women. Somewhat appropriate, then, that the nights big winner, three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri, focuses on a woman, played by Frances Mcdormand, who won best actress, looking for justice. 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. Power to the people. The movie, which won a total of five baftas including best film, has captured on screen feelings and sentiments felt by women around the world. Best actor went to british star gary 0ldman for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in world war ii drama darkest hour. And best director was won by Guillermo Del Toro for the shape of water, another female focused film 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 paid tribute to one particular woman. Id like to thank my mum. Mum, youre the reason why i started, youre the reason why im here, youre the reason why i keep going. And this is yours. For the past three years, the baftas and the oscars havent agreed on best picture, but this 2018 oscar race is the most open in years. And, with voting starting on the other side of the atlantic on tuesday, many will be saying that three billboards strong showing tonight might, just might, the edge of the Academy Awards in march. A russian athlete has been caught taking a banned suspect at the 0lympic taking a banned suspect at the olympic games. He is understood to have left the old vic village in south korea and surrendered his accreditation. Alexander krushelnitsky, who won a bronze medal in curling, is suspected of taking meldonium, which increases blood flow. The iocs spokesman, mark adams, says the cu rlers test results could affect russias chances of having its 0lympic ban lifted in time for the closing ceremony. Should this case the problem, or should this case come to fruition, that will also be part of the consideration as to whether there will be an allowance for them to march in the closing ceremony under their flag. Obviously, as individual russian athletes, they can take part in the closing ceremony, but the further issue of the flag and so on will be discussed by the executive board. Bloodstock to correspondent who is in falder. The result of a second sample expected later. Lets talk to. What are you expecting to hear laters the court of arbitration for sport has officially announced proceedings against alexander krushelnitsky. Whether the russians like it or not, this has dragged a big cloud again over 0lympians from that country. He is accused of taking a banned substance, meldonium, for that he could lose his bronze medalfor telling. He is also putting pressure back on russian administrators. They will hoped that at these games, they could be brought in from the cold, that officials might decide that russia has had enough punishment following that brought doping scandal at the sochi games, and that even at the closing ceremony, they might be allowed to march together under the flag. This new doping case opened up can only harm the chances of that happening. However, they have been asking the russian athletes, seriously, curling, why would you be taking drugs and curling . How could he be so stupid as to take performance enhancing drugs so close to the games. So they are questioning how it could be possible, but nevertheless, if he loses this case, he is good to lose his medal and puts the pressure right back on all russian 0lympians. The result of that second sample is not in yet, but potentially a huge embarrassment for the international 0lympic embarrassment for the International Olympic committee itself, because it has allowed certain russian athletes to compete under the olympic banner. Imagine if you are another russian athlete, you might think, why should ibe athlete, you might think, why should i be tarnished with this just because this guy has gone down for taking a banned substance. The foot side also is that the ioc might say, look how good our measures are. We are getting tough, we have caught someone, we are going through these proceedings. People should wait and see what the result is to see if he is found guilty. It is funny, even carolyn, all sports, to have this scandal erupted around. Mind you, those who are involved in curling passing, people do not understand how tough it is and how much concentration is required at that top level. So for that reason, it is possible people might take performance enhancing drugs to help them get a medal. Thank you much for that. After they ran out of chicken. In a statement on twitter, kfc said the chicken crossed the road, just not to our restaurant. They say weve brought a new delivery partner onboard, but theyve had a couple of teething problems getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex it added, apologising to customers for the inconvenience.

Great britains women have just started their latest curling match against switzerland. The men took on denmark earlier. It was tight throughout, but eventually Great Britain came through 7 6, their fourth win from seven matches, which puts them in a very strong position to qualify. And less than two years after been told she may never skate again, and a stance has qualified for the final. The couple finished in tenth place ahead of the dance. Huge disappointment in the snowboarding big air event, making its debut at this years games. Amy fuller fell in both attempts, including a big crush on her second jump, saw her 0lympics including a big crush on her second jump, saw her olympics is over. And in the next few minutes, the sole Great Britain mens bobsleigh. I will be back with the rest of the sport at 1130. Survivors of the Florida School shooting are organising a National March on washington to demand tighter restrictions on gun ownership. They say theyre determined that the shooting will be a turning point in the us National Debate on guns. The white house says President Trump will hold a listening session on wednesday with a group of High School Students and teachers. Simon clemison reports. The rally before the rally protesters are already taking to the streets. In fort lauderdale, close to the biggest us School Shooting for some years, many spoke. But three words rang out. Shame on you to every politician who is taking donations from the nra, shame on you. Next month they plan to march on washington calling for tighter gun control, they hope there will be protests in other cities on the same day. Students organising the demonstration say they want the latest attack to be a turning point. What i am looking for is reasonable change within the United States congress and bills that are passed before i get back to school, because this is not the time for inaction and debate, this is the time for discussion and for all people that are americans to come together as americans through love and compassion. This event happened on valentines day, so many people lost loved ones. Our community and our nation have taken too many bullets to the heart, and now it is time to stand up. Last year, donald trump said he would never infringe on the rights to keep arms. He has since blamed democrats for not acting on Gun Legislation when they controlled congress during the 0bama adminsitration. Democrats had criticised him in the wake of the tragedy. President trump, who has met people affected by the shooting and has also rebuked the fbi, after the organisation admitted it failed to act on a tip off about the suspect, nikolas cruz. Cnn has invited the president to a town hall event with the survivors on wednesday. There are School Shootings in america, and there is outrage that follows, the question is whether that will now turn into Something Else. Simon clemison, bbc news. More news on toulouse mays new plan for Higher Education funding reform. Theresa may. She says that she shares the cost of the concerns of pa rents shares the cost of the concerns of parents and students about the cost of getting a degree. How much work needs to be done on Higher Education funding if you take the system as it stands . 0ther Education Funding if you take the system as it stands . Other small adjustments needed, or something more radical . Journeyed to be a radical overhaul of Tertiary Education in our country. Im glad the Prime Minister is talking about this, but we need to realise that Something Like a third, to a fifth of stu d e nts Something Like a third, to a fifth of students leaving university are not getting a degree at the end of it, they are not meeting the skills need of our country. We are behind other countries. Something like 28 ofjobs other countries. Something like 28 of jobs currently other countries. Something like 28 ofjobs currently done by young people will be lost to automation, the match of the robots. The Prime Minister will argue that those not getting the jobs they wanted, they will not be paying that those loans until they are earning a certain amount of money. Yes, which is why we need to be fair to the students and to the taxpayer. But if we have got billions to registration fees, which had be putting that money to incentivise universities to provide the skills courses that our country needs and students need. And we should invest a lots more in degree apprenticeships. I would like to see 50 of our students doing degree apprenticeships, no loan, you are and while you learn, and you climb out of that opportunity to help our country out. So you do not think tuition fees deduction is the answer . I think a blanket reduction is not the right answer. We need to incentivise. We have spent money, incentivise. We have spent money, incentivise the money to go to the court as well. We need to build our skills base, particularly in science, engineering, manufacturing, coding, health care. That is where the money should go, and if doing the money should go, and if doing the skin of courses, then you should ajewish in the skin of courses, then you should a jewish in the production. The skin of courses, then you should a jewish in the productionm sounds as though theresa may might be slightly passing the buck to the universities in terms of putting pressure on them to do that. Do you think that the universities should do that, when they say that 50 of what they get in tuition fees is nothing to do with the specific courses, but is needed for other areas of University Life . Too many universities are not performing. We have a very good system in our country, and yet a third to a fifth of stu d e nts country, and yet a third to a fifth of students going to university are not getting good jobs at the end, good skilled jobs, and are still coming out with a loan. So universities need to take more responsibility. We need to change the system in terms of funding, so you get the finance of your offered degree apprenticeships, the people and will they learn and get a skilled job by the end of it. We need to make sure that universities area need to make sure that universities are a lot better at getting more disadvantaged students in the university. Many of the so called elite universities actually have less disadvantaged people going to them than before. A couple of other points, maintenance grants, do you think that maintenance grants should be introduced for students from less well off backgrounds . Because it is not just about what they are paying back after a degree, it is about the cost of living going to university as well, isnt it . Cost of living going to university as well, isnt it . In the short term, we need to reduce Interest Rates, which are way too high and unfair. And we need to look at the maintenance grants in terms of the poorest students. But all the incentives should be about building up incentives should be about building up our skills base. We should not just look at funding universities, we should look at funding further education colleges, for example, providing higher degrees. We need to put a lot more money into further education. So if there were billions to spare, it should be about three things, employability, skills, and are we helping those from the most just punched backgrounds climbed the education ladder of opportunity . The most disadvantaged backgrounds. Why can the Interest Rate notjust be brought down to the cpi immediately . It is not stick a year, is it . Going to take. Immediately . It is not stick a year, is it . Going to take. It should not take a year. And it is 2a higher than the bank of england base rate, so needs to be much fairer. But just rate, so needs to be much fairer. Butjust doing the Interest Rates is a sticking plaster. We need a radical overhaul of Tertiary Education in general, supporting further education colleges and more degree apprenticeships and Technical Education in general, making sure the financial incentive school to those universities that are giving skills, particularly in stern, engineering, coding, and other subjects. Thank you very much for your time today. It is thought that one of the 60 people on board a flight in iran that crashed have survived.

Good morning. Lots of action going on concerning british athletes at the winter olympic this morning on day ten of the pyeongchang games. The mens curling team had a tight encounter against denmark. It went to the wire but team gb made it four wins from seven with victory against the danes, which puts them in a very strong position to earn a place in the last four. The women were in a similar position to the men ahead of their seventh match against switzerland this morning. Three wins and three defeats from their opening six matxhes. And these are the live pictures from the gangneung curling centre. Theyre into the 3rd end.

More now on the news that theresa may will today launch a year long review of how Higher Education is funded, admitting that england has one of the most expensive systems of tuition in the world. In a speech in derbyshire, the Prime Minister will say she shares the concerns of students and parents about the cost of getting a degree. Labour has accused ministers of kicking the issue into the long grass. With me now is director of policy from universities uk, chris hale. Thank you very much forjoining us today. How concerned are you the Prime Minister might focus on the cost of tuition in all of this and perhaps push back on to university is the idea they should be doing something to reduce tuition fees for at least some courses . The main thing to start off with is we have a world class thing to start off with is we have a World Class University system. We have a funding system which is broadly sustainable, a number of challenges are coming up around that system and the review provides an opportunity over the next 12 months to explore those issues and challenges. In terms of the benefits of the system, it is progressive, you dont have to pay having upfront but should pay based on what you earn as a proportion of your salary when she graduated and then in the above £25,000. If you dont pay off your debt, it is written off over your debt, it is written off over your lifetime. And if youre from a less well off background, you may say, well, i cant afford to go to university. I knowi say, well, i cant afford to go to university. I know i will have time to pay off a student loan but i cant afford to go in the first place because of living costs. From the universitys perspective, that is more something for the government to address. Absolutely and we have pushed for the reintroduction of maintenance grants particularly from those from poorer backgrounds. When you say the system as it stands is broadly sustainable, explain more what you mean. It provides a sustainable income for universities, they are able to maintain the world class they are able to maintain the world class system, second only to the us on a number of indicators and a popular destination for international students, universities widen social mobility in their regions, so the funding they get tuition fees allows them to do all those things, so we need to make sure whatever comes out of this review, we can secure a sustainable system whilst addressing some of the challenges. Its not a perfect system. But i think what we dont wa nt system. But i think what we dont want is cutting of University Funding and diminishing our international standing. When the government has raised tuition fees to over £9,000 a year, it was god some universities would choose not to charge that full amount for some courses and in fact very few did that. Most charged it for all. Do you think needs to be some readjustment of the case . What you must remember is that for some courses, particularly those more expensive, the fees represent only a proportion of the total costs and theres quite a significant public subsidy to support additional costs, sometimes up to £16,000. I think its important universities demonstrate for money, i think. Have they done that enough . demonstrate for money, i think. Have they done that enough . I think there are more things we can do and we would be open to exploring, certainly we have work on the way thinking about how we can get better to explain and demonstrate value for money to students. 0n to explain and demonstrate value for money to students. On your point about reductions for certain subjects, we need to look at carefully, we cant rush into that. There isnt necessarily a correlation. We need to explore these things in detail and come up with sustainable solutions. Is there more of a biased market for students, they are becoming more discerning about asking universities what value they will offer for their tuition fees . Absolutely and i think that has been good for universities and has made them think more about what theyre doing, making sure they invest in infrastructure, Sustainable Resources for students, thats one of the challenges, that we do not undermine their ability to be able to do that. Thank you. Just before christmas the European Commission triggered unprecedented Disciplinary Proceedings against poland which it argued was flouting the rule of law by attacking the independence of polish courts and judges. The clash has highlighted divisions in the eu between older western Member States and those in the east of the bloc. Jenny hill reports. When your country has come a long way, it is easy to feel left behind. Poland has gone from communism, to the eu, to relative prosperity. But out here, many felt forgotten until now. Generous child benefits, a lower retirement age, small wonder perhaps the pis government gets the family vote. Translation everyone, all the other parties make promises, but they dont deliver. Pis kept their promises, it is good and i support them and i dont see anything wrong with what they are doing. Quite the opposite. But they have divided a country, enraged the eu. Last year protests in warsaw, pis attacks press freedom, access to abortion and the independence of thejudiciary. Translation the system is already broken. There is no balance of power. We are moving towards an authoritarian state. 0ne party will dominate parliament and will destroy independent justice. But resistance is giving way to resignation, the government is backed in part by the catholic church, the voice of tradition is growing louder. Translation most importantly was patriotism that drove me towards pis, the patriotism i inherited from my grandparents and my parents. I could only find that kind of patriotism in the pis party. It is as if there is a battle going on here. For the very soul of this country. It divides society into liberal elite or populist patriot and it is a struggle which symbolises, perhaps even feeds what is happening within the eu. This is no longer a defining moment simply for poland, but for the whole european project. Because, it seems, no one is really sure how to deal with what is arguably the eus most troublesome state. More now on the study that has revealed so called antiquated attitudes to recruiting women among uk employers. The poll for the equality and Human Rights Commission revealed that almost half of bosses believe a woman should have to work for a company for at least a year before having children. A little earlier, my colleague Victoria Derbyshire spoke to one new mother, sarah rees, who was made redundant from herjob at a charity in cardiff while she was on maternity leave. I tried to get in contact with them, e mail colleagues and my boss to say i wanted to come back, i had no response. Potentially they may have been thinking, you are on maternity leave, lets not bother her. Just concentrate on the baby. It was me that got in touch with them, saying i wanted to come back. They should have had the decency to reply to me. What happened in the end . A trustee got in touch and said, they are talking about your redundancy in meetings full. I am clear that you do not know what is happening. I had a letter in the post if you days later. That my post was redundant. How did you react . I was really sad and upset and as a new mother i was stressed enough, to have that happen on top, really does dent your confidence, with me is nicola smith, head of equality at the tuc. Does the survey surprise you off it with the stories youve been hearing . Id very much fits with what we know across the tuc. It continues to take place on an industrial scale and is unacceptable, no woman should have to choose between a career and a family and yet we know in workplaces up family and yet we know in workplaces up and down the country that is still what is going on. Spell it out for us, what is the law if an employer is interviewing a woman and asked about her intentions to have children, whether she is pregnant or any questions of that nature . M children, whether she is pregnant or any questions of that nature . It is unacceptable and illegal for an employer to questioning women on whether she is pregnant or planning to have children during an interview and also illegal to discriminate on women withinjobs if and also illegal to discriminate on women within jobs if they become pregnant or require time off to care for children. This practice is not a cce pta ble for children. This practice is not acceptable and can be challenged through the courts. Yet, these questions are asked, arent they . If a woman is any topic interview and has asked Something Like this, i guess the impulse is to provide some sort of answer what would your advice be to someone in that situation . 0r advice be to someone in that situation . Or my advice would always be to contact a union orjoin a union because we know that unionised workplaces are the least likely place for this practice to happen. If someone finds themselves in this situation, they can write to the employer after the incident asking foran employer after the incident asking for an information and although the employer did not legally bound to respond, they should respond because of the dead, it may be used against them ina of the dead, it may be used against them in a future tribunal claim. Of the dead, it may be used against them in a future tribunal claimm someone is being asked this in the heat of the moment in an interview, do you offer advice on what they should say . Should the woman said, i know its against the law firm you ask me that question so i wont answer. Thats a difficult one. Ask me that question so i wont answer. Thats a difficult one. advice individual women, im here to see this as an illegal practice and employers should be doing. We often hear from employers that it brings additional costs, employers and the survey tell us that it is an unacceptable survey tell us that it is an u na cce pta ble cost for survey tell us that it is an unacceptable cost for their business to bear. We have often heard from employers that costs are too much to bear, we had this before the minimum wage, we had before a vital health and safety protection was introduced and safety protection was introduced and lo and behold, employers continue to put this forward. The cost of modernity and not significant for employers but the costs of discrimination are high and it is not acceptable in a modern society. Putting the slaughter one side for one moment, does more work needs be done on research to show employers value of women having mothers in the workplace . Putting the law to one side. The Business Case is pretty much made, wejust need employer to Pay Attention and follow the law. It is obvious to me that if youre going to run a Business Model that means youre firing potentially have your workforce at any one time, that youre putting yourself open to the cost of litigation and having to continually recur did not encourage recruitment costs as well as lose the expertise from the female workforce. Employers should know that argument and you loud and clear that argument and you loud and clear that this practice is illegal and cannot be allowed to continue. Thank you.

Joining me now to discuss what we might be expecting is Banking Expert shailesh raikundlia, from Panmure Gordon co. Weve got a very changing environment, higher Interest Rates, that should be good for the banking system, are we beginning to see banks enjoying a slightly more favourable climate . Yeah, the Interest Rate increase cycle is broadly positive for the banks, we havent seen a huge impact on domestic banks as we just had a 25 basis point rise. We expect a significant improvement in interest margins from deposited income improvement. Mainly because the us dollar is helping them significant significantly. We expected results from hsdd and lloyds. Want a puppy results from hsdd and lloyds. Want a puppy finds hanging over from the United States .

Studio yes, a paedophile University Lecturer who posed as a woman online to target more than a0 victims has been sentenced to 32 years in prison after pleading guilty to 137 charges. 29 year old Matthew Falder, there he is on the screen, were going to our correspondent who is at birmingham and has been following the case. Tell us more about the sentencing, please . Yes, 32 years is how long he will spend in custody but there is a six year extended license added to that. There was no reaction from Matthew Falder, theres been no reaction throughout todays hearing on the previous three days of sentencing. He just sat impassively in the dock, staring ahead. Some of us many victims have come to court today, its been difficult for them. Some were visibly upset and interiors. Judge Phillip Parker qc described Matthew Falder as an intranet highwayman, somebody who was cruel and manipulative and want to assume total control of victims and was somebody so much in love with blackmail and being in control that he considered him somebody dangerous and he would have to go to prison for a very long time. There are several types of offending, the first involving victims who he targeted on the website gumtree, often teenagers advertising as baby sitters or dog often teenagers advertising as ba by sitters or dog walkers, often teenagers advertising as baby sitters or dog walkers, who then posing as a women interested, asked them to send nude or topless pictures and used as part of blackmail to engage them in decreasing the sickening acts. He also filmed women and spread pictures around the internet, there was a particularly awful case in america with a young victim he persuaded to carry out some terrible a cts persuaded to carry out some terrible acts against other young victims and also offences involving the dark web, some of the most extreme websites for paedophiles where they share imagery of the most depraved nature and in this case, encouraged one another to carry out some truly horrendous acts. Matthew falders family was in court today, the pa rents family was in court today, the parents have said they will help him when he comes back out, essentially standing by him. And i know for his victims, one of two of whom have had impact statements read out in court, this has been a horrific ordeal. Many were very vulnerable and young and asa many were very vulnerable and young and as a result of what has happened, they are still having nightmares and suffering, relationships have broken down and in some cases they have even considered suicide. 0ne in some cases they have even considered suicide. One or two have tried to take their own lives. Very disturbing case indeed. People here more at midday. The time is five minutes to 12 right now and were going to take a look at the Weather Forecast.

Welcome to bbc newsroom live. A paedophile University Lecturer who posed as a woman online to target more than a0 victims has been sentenced to 32 years in prison and a further six years on extended licence. 29 year old Matthew Falder has admitted blackmailing women and children into sending him humiliating images of themselves. Falder was caught in an International Police operation, after three of his victims tried to kill themselves. Phil mackie is at Birmingham Crown court. Falder has been described as one of the most prolific, and deranged people they have encountered. He has been jailed people they have encountered. He has beenjailed for 32 people they have encountered. He has been jailed for 32 years plus the extra six years an extended licence. He sat throughout today and the previous three days of sentencing impassively, showing no emotion and staring straight ahead. Meanwhile, some of his victims, just a handful of the a6 in this case, have come to court to face their tormentor in the dock. 0ne court to face their tormentor in the dock. One of them read out her own victim impact statement, such was still suffering the effects of what he had made her do when he contacted her on the website gumtree and blackmailed her likes and many other victims into carrying out increasingly sickening and degrading acts. I have been a report of the 25 yea rs acts. I have been a report of the 25 years and covered many cases like this, and i cannot rememberfeeling quite so disgusted and disturbed at evidence i have ever heard any case before. It was seriously one of the worst cases as you have said. Us Online Security said this was the worst case of someone like this they have ever encountered on the internet. My colleague has the full background. What is that im supposed to have done . Doctor steven bayes being arrested at his workplace last year. He spent years posing as a female artist online. Doctor Matthew Falder. He then researched their profiles on social media. He then use that information to blackmail them into sending more images. Even installed secret cameras and peoples home. He contacted more than 300 people worldwide, offering them money in exchange for photos. His youngest victim was just 13. You exchange for photos. His youngest victim wasjust13. You have a victim, you might have an e mail contact, that is it. It is a tricky starting point, and what you have then god is people like him using all the tools in the tool box available to him to stay hidden. Last year, he guilty to 137 charges, including encouraging the rape of a child and possessing a paedophile manual. Falder was under surveillance for several months during a four year investigation. The cambridge graduate was then identified by the National Crime agency. For the first time, it worked with Partner Agencies across the world, such as the fbi, the Australian Federal police, and Europol Europol to find the man behind the messages. There were contacts made with people in slovenia, australia, victims and the United States, and victims all over england and wales and scotland. And we then have to try and piece together information across many Different Police forces relating to lots of different victims that had reported contact from the person online. Falder lived in these block of flats. He worked at birmingham university. 0fficers of flats. He worked at birmingham university. Officers say his motivation was power and control. He wanted his victims to feel embarrassed and he related, and he was confident he could outwit the authorities. He reached out to Vulnerable People seeking work on websites such as gumtree with the intention of blackmailing them. He used names such as 666devil to community with other paedophiles on the. Net. Community with other paedophiles on the. Net. Community with other paedophiles on the. Net. Net. He said, iam not sure if she lives or dies, to be honest. Darknet. Sure if she lives or dies, to be honest. Darknet. He would have beena honest. Darknet. He would have been a social misfit, a loner, someone who has difficulty interacting with peers and sort out to children because he found them less threatening. One of falders victims said he she felt like dirty, used goods. He showed no remorse throughout the proceedings. Falder has now been taken down to the cells, but the hearing continues inside Birmingham Crown court, because thejudge is now praising and making commendations to some of the officers who worked on this case, both here in the uk and overseas as well, because this has been an incredibly distressing case for them. In some cases, they have had to look at the most disgusting and disturbing imagery, and film, that in many of their careers, they have ever had to see. Just a reminder, Matthew Falder has been jailed for 32 years, and an extra six years on extended licence. Some relief, one hopes, for the many victims both here and abroad who have had to suffer at the hands of a man they called one of the worst offenders of this kind that the agencies have ever encountered. Phil, 20 very much. Philipp ian birmingham. Phil phil mackie. Theresa may will announce a year long review this lunchtime into how Higher Education is funded, admitting that england has one of the most expensive systems of tuition in the world. The Prime Minister, whos been meeting a level students in west london, will say in a speech this lunchtime that she shares the concerns of students and parents about the cost of getting a degree. Currently, English 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 . 0ur assistant political editor, norman smith, is in westminster. Good morning. Theresa may clearly wants to be seen as doing Something Else other than talking about brexit, but with all that going on, how much can she achieve on this with some people saying there needs to be a radical overhaul of third Level Education . She has set out an ambitious agenda saying she wants to end the stigma associated with vocational education, and she understands the concerns of students, parents and grandparents about the cost of Higher Education. Amongst the most Expensive University systems in the world, she will say. But she has somewhat limited her ability to deliver bile so saying that there is good to be no change in the current tuition fee system, she does not wa nt tuition fee system, she does not want taxpayers to pick up the bill. It has got to be those who benefit from a University Education who pay. And that means she is basically relying on universities to voluntarily cut the cost of some courses. The hope of mrs may and her advisers is that if they give potential students the information about the sort ofjob prospects they have from different courses, they will be much more picky about what courses they do, and therefore courses they do, and therefore courses which do not have great Career Prospects will become less attractive, and so universities will have to cut the fees for those courses if they want to keep attracting students. But you have to say, that has been the thinking for quite a number of years so far, and today, but a much older universities charge the maximum the fall pretty much every course. But in the last few minutes, mrs may has again reiterated her ambition to try and do something about those fees. I wanted a review of post 18 education, and there are two aspects to it. 0ne as we realise how concerned people are about the fees students pay, the debt that people build up through their time in university. And looking at that issue and the funding issues. But thes something wider as well. For a long time, ive worried about the fact that, in this country, we are very good at seeing academic education is good and for everybody, but we have never put sufficient emphasis on technical or vocational education. Interestingly, the man behind the the policy, as many see him, andrew adonis, says that they should now be cut back. The Prime Minister has tried to kick the controversial issue of fees into the long grass by setting up a review. She knows that fees of £9,250 and 6. 1 interest on the student debt is no longer sustainable. She is in search of the Silver Bullet which will give lower fees but not lead to escalating costs for government. Im afraid there isnt a Silver Bullet, there are choices to be made, and i suspect she has tried to put those choices off until after brexit. And the building you perhaps for mrs may is that she ends up with a much more limited set of reforms which are pale in comparison to the big, expensive offer from Jeremy Corbyn of scrapping tuition fees altogether and reintroducing maintenance grants. But we will not get the details of the final package mrs may is going to look at until this review reports in about a years time. Norman, thank you. Lets stay with this story. With me now is emily chapman, nus Vice President for further education what do you want to see happening in this review . A simple question, but probably quite a conjugated answer. I think it is quite conjugated, but this is something that the National Union of students has been calling forforeign union of students has been calling for foreign umber of years. Union of students has been calling forforeign umber of years. We know the system is fundamentally broken, and we have been saying that sometime. We need to have students at the heart of this review, and look at it stage by stage, that is not a review that will put a plaster ona wind. Not a review that will put a plaster on a wind. Wound. But as you are telling the a few minutes ago, no stu d e nts telling the a few minutes ago, no students have been asked to take part, have the . I think we will know more at two oclock, we are waiting for more information to come out. What we can see so far, students into mince krantz in particular are not being looked at, and we dont keep doing what we are always doing. Students and maintenance grants. We need students to be at the heart of this because they are the people most affected by it. Theres talk of tuition fees and making sure we are not building up more debt. But it is not building up more debt. But it is not just about future people get into university, it is about not getting into debt in the first place. What level of maintenance is out there for students from less well off backgrounds . Out there for students from less welloff backgrounds . We have maintenance loans, but that is a loa N Maintenance loans, but that is a loan which is contributing to the average £50,000 debt when you finish university. So it is not a grant support, it is a loan. That will be off putting to some students. Definitely, if youre thinking you will have £50,000 worth of debt, you are going to be put off going to university. Some think there is a thing of making sure that we can go to university as students, which i will admit, there is a rise in poor and disadvantaged students go to university, but are they getting the degree out of it . Unable to continue to the economy right now . And the a nswer to the economy right now . And the answer is no. Tuition fees, do you think that universities should be producing the fees for certain degree subjects, is that not the a nswer to degree subjects, is that not the answer to this . I do not think it is the answer. The Younger Generation needs to be providing to the economy, we need to be able to do that without doubt, studied to be free, supported education. This is something that labour has capitalised on in terms of to students, so do you think there is any possibility of the conservatives going anywhere close to producing fees, let alone getting rid of fees . Producing fees. Right now they need to listen to students, and the Younger Voters of this country. On loa ns, Younger Voters of this country. On loans, how much from docking to students, how much would producing the Interest Rates, 6. 1 on student loa ns, the Interest Rates, 6. 1 on Student Loans, how much would that help . |j loans, how much would that help . think that would just be a sticking plaster. The Interest Rate is higher thanif plaster. The Interest Rate is higher than if you had a mortgage in this country, so there is a whole other things that need to happen, and the Interest Rate is just one of the many things. Emily, thank you very much for that. Emily chapman from nus, thank you for your time. The headlines on bbc newsroom live.

Moroni website, all your sport for now. We are now going to go back to Birmingham Crown court. Heartfelt thanks to the victims have come forward and made this case possible. For other victims out there, please report it. But for other offenders, stop. This International Effort will continue, and we will bring you to justice. Thank you. A brief statement there from the National Crime agency, one of the agencies involved in catching at bringing to justice the paedophile Matthew Falder, who was sentenced a short time ago to 32 years in prison, in custody, with another six years on licence after that, for 137 offences, which included encouraging Sexual Activity with a child and encouraging the rape of a child. 29 year old falder on the screen, a University Lecturer. A6 victims from six countries, many of them children. And he shared these images with paedophiles on the dark web. Agencies involved in catching him included gchq, us homeland security, europol, and the uks on the National Crime agency, which described him as one of the most prolific, dangerous and depraved offenders it has encountered. Phil mackie is at Birmingham Crown court, and has been following the case. Listen to that brief statement from the National Crime agency, it is clear they believe their may be other victims out there who have not come forward. Yes, and we know thats Matthew Falder offended, certainly a terms of the most extreme offending, for at least four mag years, and in the case that was brought to trial, there were a6 victims. Every chance that there may be others out there as yet unidentified, that is partly because of the things he made his victims do. So some of them will have been feeling the most intense shame and disgust at themselves for having to undertake the tasks that he set them. These really were quite depraved and degrading acts, humour waiting, and some of them so upsetting that, in some victims cases, they considered taking their own lives. As you heard from the nca there, if there are other offenders out there, stop, they will get them eventually. It took a long term in this case, but despite all of that encryption that Matthew Falder was able to use, a clever man, a cambridge graduate and a University Lecturer, who really knew what he was doing, they managed to get him in the end. And they will be seeing, not just the in the end. And they will be seeing, notjust the nca but also us on one security you are here today, they will track these people do not bring them to justice. Will track these people do not bring them tojustice. Us homeland security. They hope that this sentence of 32 years plus an extra six will send a message out to these people, watch out, we will come and get you, and when we do, you will go to prison. Thank you very much, phil mackie in birmingham. An internal 0xfam report on the Sexual Misconduct of some of its staff in haiti in 2011 has revealed that three of the men involved physically threatened witnesses during the investigation. The charity has published the document for the first time, saying it wants to be as transparent as possible. Heres our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. In the wake of the earthquake in haiti in 2010, seven of the 0xfam staff sent there to help left the organisation as a result of their unacceptable behaviour. An internal report published today shows one was dismissed and three resigned for using prostitutes on 0xfam 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 0xfam appears to have ignored as roland van hauwermeiren, the charitys director in haiti, went 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 0xfam says it has given an unredacted copy to haitian ministers whom senior managers from the charity will meet later today. James landale, bbc news. Former football coach Barry Bennell will be sentenced today for historical sexual assaults committed on young boys in his care. The 6a year old, who worked with Manchester City and crewe alexandras youth teams, was convicted of 50 child sex offences at Liverpool Crown court. He is thought to have abused more than 100 boys over a period spanning three decades. A 26 year old woman has been arrested after an abusive note was left on an ambulance dealing with a 999 call. The author of the hand written message said they did not care if the whole street collapsed. Staffordshire police said the incident was not reported, but the force took action after seeing details on twitter. Fast food chain kfc has closed a number of outlets across the uk after they ran out of chicken. In a statement on twitter, kfc said the chicken crossed the road, just not to our restaurant. They say weve brought a new delivery partner onboard, but theyve had a couple of teething problems getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex it added, apologising to customers for the inconvenience. Three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri has dominated the bafta film awards, winning five trophies. 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. The start of his report contains flash photography. Black dresses on the red carpet, all part of the ongoing times up campaign aimed at fair and equal treatment for women. Somewhat appropriate, then, that the nights big winner, three billboards 0utside ebbing, missouri, focuses on a woman, played by Frances Mcdormand, who won best actress, looking for justice. 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. Power to the people. The movie, which won a total of five baftas including best film, has captured on screen feelings and sentiments felt by women around the world. Best actor went to british star gary 0ldman for his portrayal of Winston Churchill in world war ii drama darkest hour. And best director was won by Guillermo Del Toro for the shape of water, another female focused film 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 paid tribute to one particular woman. Id like to thank my mum. Mum, youre the reason why i started, youre the reason why im here, youre the reason why i keep going. And this is yours. For the past three years, the baftas and the oscars havent agreed on best picture, but this 2018 oscar race is the most open in years. And, with voting starting on the other side of the atlantic on tuesday, many will be saying that three billboards strong showing tonight might, just might, give it the edge at the Academy Awards in march. More now on the news from Birmingham Crown court that the paedophile has been sentenced to 32 years in prison, another six on licence on top of that for 137 offences, including encouraging Sexual Activity with a child and encouraging the rape of a child. Described as one of the most prolific, dangerous and depraved offenders who countered by the nca, which was one of a number of agencies around the world which combined their resources to catch. More on this now with phil mackie, who is Birmingham Crown court. Unusually, perhaps, some of the offences that he was convicted of in this country were committed in the United States. That is an example of the fact that this was a global investigation. I have someone from us on security with me now. First of all, your reaction to the sentence, 32 years in plus six. We are very happy with it. I think we are happiest for the National Crime agency, and very happy for the victims. We think there is some closure to be had with the sentence like this. We go back to our office in london film excited about the sentence. In terms of the case itself, as a reporter, ifound it quite distressing. It must have been pretty awful for your staff as well as the ncas. Pretty awful for your staff as well as the ncas. Absolutely, and Emotional Experience to see how people were treated and how people we re people were treated and how people were blackmailed throughout the spring. It was very tough to watch, but that is ourjob and what investigators, the officers and the a nalysts investigators, the officers and the analysts are supposed to do in this case. How would you describe falder . He is evil, theres really no other word for it. I have never seen anything like this, where someone is willing to go to these extremes to comment people. Were some of the most horrific offences he was getting people to carry out. He boasted that he could not be caught, it did take a long time. Is there a message to be sent from a case like that, that the matter how clever you think they are, that they will track you down . Absolutely, that is testament to the National Crime agency who stuck with that for all those years and continued the persistence and the passion to an ultimately catch. Ultimately catch. And yes, you can operate for a while on the internet and getting away with it, but eventually, Law Enforcement will catch you. Away with it, but eventually, lawenforcement will catch you. And there are potentially other prosecutions in the United States were other people will be brought to justice. Yes, other people are being prosecuted in the us. Thank you. It is difficult to say that people are satisfied with it sentence when the case has been so awful. But people will be relieved that falder is behind bars and cannot continue this. The nca will be hoping that in some cases, some of these victims who suffered for so long and so much, will be able to get some type of closer and perhaps some of the nightmares that has caused will ultimately start to cease. Thank you very much for that, phil mackie in birmingham. The time is exactly 12. 30, a look at the Weather Forecast now. A murky day for most of us, but some papers to be enjoyed in parts of the country. This is the scene in penzance, few glimmers of blue sky around. Some rain across eastern scotla nd around. Some rain across eastern scotland and eastern counties of england. The band of rain fairly slow moving. Then a dry spell of weather through wales, the south west of england, south west scotla nd south west of england, south west scotland and Northern Ireland. Here we will see some brightness and mild temperatures, around 13 celsius in belfast. Into the evening, the next band of rain moves on to the north east. Colder, clearer conditions to the north east of the country. Still cloudy and damp in the south east, heading into tuesday morning, and for most of us, a frost free and relatively mild start to the day. A bit fresher towards scotla nd the day. A bit fresher towards scotland and Northern Ireland. During the day tomorrow, we will keep the cloud and rain. Elsewhere across the country, skies will brighten, so more sunshine than today. Still relatively mild with temperatures in double figures, but cooler along the east coast, and that cooling trend continues with some colder and certainly more bond refuelling weather as we head through much of this week. More wintry feeling the weather. This is bbc news our latest headlines. A cambridge graduate said to be one of britains most prolific paedophiles has been sentenced to 32 years in prison.

He won a bronze medal in the mixed doubles curling event with his wife at the winter games. In a moment well be speaking to Alison Tedstone a chief nutritionist at Public Health england about britons eating over 30 more calories than they admit. Monagh on the case of Matthew Falder, sentenced to 32 years, after admitting 137 offences including encouraging the rape of a minor and blackmailing victims to film themselves carrying out degrading acts. Lets speak to our guest, an investigator of journalist acts. Lets speak to our guest, an investigator ofjournalist in oslo and a specialist in the dark web who has been following this case. We know who the suit Matthew Falder used the dark web to distribute images of his victims and a number of International Agencies spent four yea rs of International Agencies spent four years trying to track him down and get the evidence they needed on him. That demonstrates just how difficult it is for agencies to capture people using the dark web. Definitely. These are communities which are hugely traded on guarding themselves from detection, such as we have seen now. They Utilise Technology that is very difficult to see through, or to track. Each and every investigative effort into these communities and users is certain to take a huge amount of effort from these agencies. We know he used specialist softwa re agencies. We know he used Specialist Software to hide his online accounts. In layman s terms, tell us how someone using the dark web goes about doing that . Yeah, so, it isnt actually that difficult to use from an end user perspective, you basically download the web browser and this web browser, instead of contacting the website you want to directly, will do this through a number of other parties, so instead of going directly to jane, you go through bob and four and christin first and then you come to jane. When i was trying to track users on these forums, they will see the intermediate steps, not the actual user or actual web browser that contacts. So, in terms of agencies trying to keep up with people using the dark web for illegal purposes, for horrendous crime such as the ones we have seen in this case today, how difficult is it for them today, how difficult is it for them to access that information or even to access that information or even to get a step ahead of these users . So, any regular old investigative techniques will be futile in these cases, you cannot rely on ip addresses and these users are certain not to post their addresses or real names. They are highly trained by themselves and each other to avoid revealing too much about themselves and they will use technology to get ahead of the police in anyway they can. So, the best the police have often be to try to infiltrate his communities and get the trust of the people who are active there and try to have them in that sense reveals some sort of personal information, let are hints here and there, perhaps send a file with some revealing information in it and over perhaps months or even years, be able to build enough information to detect and find one single user. And how much of the activity on the dark web is thought to be illegal . Does anyone have any real idea . Its difficult to say, in general terms, i would say the cases we hear of, the use we do hear of it often illegal but that doesnt automatically mean the dark web is primarily illegal, certainly not primarily illegal, certainly not primarily evil, such as is the case here. My ballpark estimate is close to half the traffic on the dark web i would say is in the best case a grey area of law. Is the genie out of the bottle . Is there anyway to shut this town . Well, i mean, these technologies to have a good intent, they are there to protect users who do need to protect themselves, so the question should also be, should we shot the Service Forums that Matthew Falder and others are active on should definitely be shut down but to close the dark web itself, im not so certain. But Law Enforcement across the world definitely needs to get the proper amount of resources to deal with the elements on these sites. Thank you for your thoughts on that. Former shareholders in the collapsed construction giant, carillion, are calling for its management to be investigated. Some have told mps that the companys executives must have known or should have known about its cash flow problems well before it went into liquidation last month. 1000 workers have now lost their jobs as a result of the collapse. Joe lynam reports. Carillion collapsed last month with a pensions black hole of almost £1 billion. Today we heard from their former biggest shareholders, many of whom got out before it was too late. 0ne fund manager, which used into of carillion, said there should be an investigation into the company was my former management. Another shareholder, Standard Life aberdeen, said carillion management had played down any potential risks. A canadian shareholder needed for attempts to get a meeting with carillions former chief executive. We found a setup where people working continued faithfully to work, there were people on the bridge of the company trinder mega salaries of those shareholders taking a close look, as soon as they had a look and a smell, they run for the hills. That was the real warning sign. And none of the regulators seemed to be aware of what was happening. Anyone left Holding Shares in carillion when it was liquidated lost all their money. Thousands of former employees lost theirjobs and livelihoods. We can speak the labour mp, frank field, who chairs the commons work and Pensions Committee. Good afternoon. Clearly greater scrutiny of what management knew or should have known this something you have been trying to get out for some time now and mps including yourself are saying investors were heading for the hills before the collapse of carillion. So, why, in your opinion, was this not more widely known about . Thats the big question and the letters we have published today along with Rachel Reevess committee, lays out, as he summarised very clearly, that once the investors started looking at this company, they ran for the hills that the race this important question about whether the people running the company on these huge salaries knew before they declared this big profit hit last year, whether that shouldnt have been declared earlier, whether they were continuing to trade when they themselves should have been adding to the warning signs. We dont have the power to investigate any legal breach of the law, there will be others who must look at that. We will obviously be looking at what the impact has been on the regulators, who again dont seem to have moved until after the event, exposing people not only to be loss ofjobs but as you pointed out, this mega pension deficit approaching £1 billion. So, questions for managers, questions for the regulator. How much can be done to compensate people who have lost in this case . 0r people who have lost in this case . Or is it people who have lost in this case . 0ris ita people who have lost in this case . Or is it a case of, the horse has bolted but we can learn lessons to improve future governance of other companies . Both, really. One is that the pensions will be covered but cut under the protection fund, so people will progressively lose as the years roll out but they wont be left without anything. Also, we cant go on to without anything. Also, we cant go ontoa without anything. Also, we cant go on to a situation whereby the snake companies to put themselves into crisis in this way and none of the regulators have even moved in an attempt to try to prevent obliteration of the company at the end of the line. Thank you for your time. Survivors of the Florida School shooting are organising a National March on washington to demand tighter restrictions on gun ownership. They say theyre determined that the shooting will be a turning point in the us National Debate on guns. The white house says President Trump will hold a listening session on wednesday with a group of High School Students and teachers. Simon clemison reports. The rally before the rally protesters are already taking to the streets. In fort lauderdale, close to the biggest us School Shooting for some years, many spoke. But three words rang out. Shame on you to every politician who is taking donations from the nra, shame on you. Next month they plan to march on washington calling for tighter gun control, they hope there will be protests in other cities on the same day. Students organising the demonstration say they want the latest attack to be a turning point. What i am looking for is reasonable change with the United States congress and bills that are passed before i get back to school because this is not the time for inaction and debate, this is the time for discussion and for all people that are americans to come together as americans through love and compassion. This event happened on valentines day, so many people lost loved ones. Our community and our nation have taken too many bullets to the heart and now it is time to stand up. Last year, donald trump said he would never infringe on the rights to keep arms. He has since blamed democrats for not acting on Gun Legislation when they controlled congress during the 0bama adminsitration. Democrats had criticised him in the wake of the tragedy. President trump, who has met people affected by the shooting and has also rebuked the fbi, after the organisation admitted it failed to act on a tipoff about the suspect, nikolas cruz. Cnn has invited the president to a town hall event with the survivors on wednesday. There are School Shootings in america and there is outrage that follows, the question is whether that will now turn into Something Else. Simon clemison, bbc news. A paedophile University Lecturer who posed as a woman online to blackmail his victims is sentenced to 32 years in prison. Matthew falder admitted 137 offences. The spiralling cost of University Tuition fees the Prime Minister is to announce a review of how Higher Education is funded in england. 0xfam reveals that three of the men accused of Sexual Misconduct in haiti physically threatened witnesses during a 2011 investigation. Britons are eating more than half as many calories than they admit to, according to figures from the National Office for statistics. Comparing a biological test to measure calorie intake with what people said on questionnaires, they found that the average person in britain is exceeding official Health Recommendations by the equivalent of a cheeseburger a day. The data comes as Public Health england prepares to launch a new calorie counting campaign, in order to try to tackle the obesity crisis. Joining us now is Alison Tedstone, chief nutritionist for Public Health england. Good to have you with us. What is behind this . Are people genuinely thinking they are eating less or is ita thinking they are eating less or is it a bit of Wishful Thinking . thinking they are eating less or is it a bit of Wishful Thinking . A bit of all of the above. Weve known this for many years, people underestimate the amount of calories they consume and overestimate the amount of physical activity they do. We dont think the difference is quite as bad as the office for National Statistics suggests, we think its more in the order of about 35 but it is a timely reminder to be aware of what you are eating and on average we all need to cut down a bit. In terms of this new campaign, again, to try to tackle obesity, clearly portion size is a keyissue obesity, clearly portion size is a key issue as we look to try to be healthier. What does the campaign aims to do . So, Public Health england will be about reminding people about how many calories they should consume for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And giving them a rule of thumb. For example, for brea kfast, of thumb. For example, for breakfast, we came for about a00 calories. When youre out and about buying her breakfast in perhaps a fast food place or a cafe, just check out those numbers and try to aim forabout check out those numbers and try to aim for about a00 calories. Check out those numbers and try to aim for about 400 calories. And for aim for about 400 calories. And for a man and a woman what should the daily calories be . 2000 calories for a woman and 2500 bremen. Its a good idea to have the womens figures in mind because we know people underestimate, as this report highlights. 2500 calories for men. Where are those extra calories sneaking in . Smacking gimmick finishing off the leftovers of kids meals . Probably a bit of everything. Is it eating snacks . It is hard to keep track, sojust is it eating snacks . It is hard to keep track, so just always is it eating snacks . It is hard to keep track, sojust always be aware of the calories you consume. Lot of packaging is labelled with calories, is there any excuse for us not to keep track . Were all human. Its not to keep track . Were all human. Its easy to think its not that big, thats healthier than i think, but a lot of foods to have front of package labels and we encourage people to be aware and remember everything adds up. Thank you very much for that. Good luck with the campaign. More now on the study that has revealed so called antiquated attitudes to recruiting women among uk employers. The poll for the equality and Human Rights Commission revealed that almost half of bosses believe a woman should have to work for a company for at least a year before having children. Earlier i spoke to nicola smith, the head of equality at the tuc, who told me the survey results are no surprise to them. It continues to take place on an industrial scale and is unacceptable, no woman should have to choose between a career and a family and yet we know in workplaces up and down the country that is still what is going on. Spell it out for us, what is the law if an employer is interviewing a woman and asks about her intentions to have children, whether she is pregnant or any questions of that nature . It is unacceptable and illegal for an employer to question a woman on whether she is pregnant or planning to have children during an interview and also illegal to discriminate on women within jobs if they become pregnant or require time off to care for children. This practice is not acceptable and can be challenged through the courts. Yet, these questions are asked, arent they . If a woman is in an interview and is asked Something Like this, i guess the impulse is to provide some sort of answer what would your advice be to someone in that situation . My advice would always be to contact a union orjoin a union because we know that unionised workplaces are the least likely place for this practice to happen. If someone finds themselves in this situation, they can write to the employer after the incident asking for information and although the employer is not legally bound to respond, they should respond because if not, it may be used against them in a future tribunal claim. If someone is being asked this in the heat of the moment in an interview, do you offer advice on what they should say . Thats a difficult one. I am not here to advise individual women, im here to say this as an illegal practice and employers should not be doing it. We often hear from employers that it brings additional costs, employers and the survey tell us that it is an unacceptable cost for their business to bear. We have often heard from employers that costs are too much to bear, we had this before the minimum wage, we had before a vital health and safety protection was introduced and lo and behold, employers continue to put this forward. The cost of modernity are not significant for employers but the costs of discrimination are high and it is not acceptable in a modern society. Putting the law to one side for one moment, does more work need be done on research to show employers the value of women, having mothers in the workplace . The Business Case is pretty much made, wejust need employers to Pay Attention and follow the law. It is obvious to me that if youre going to run a Business Model that means youre firing potentially half your workforce at any one time, that youre putting yourself open to the cost of litigation and having to continually recruitment costs as well as lose the expertise from the female workforce. Employers should know that argument and you loud and clear that this practice is illegal and cannot be allowed to continue. Streets around one of the most sacred sites for tibetan buddhism have been reopened to pilgrims after a blaze broke out on saturday evening. Chinese state media said the fire injokhang temple, was soon put out. However, tibetans living abroad said that photos and posts about the blaze were quickly being censored. Laura westbrook reports. Smoke fills the sky at one of the most holy places in tibet. This footage posted online shows the roof of the jokhang monastery in flames. Chinese state media said no one was hurt and the temple in lhasa has now been reopened. But it is not known how much damage this thousand year old monastery has suffered. The sprawling complex covers more than six acres, official reports did not specify which part of the temple was damaged by the fire. That is because beijing maintains tight control of tibet. As the news of the fire spread on chinese social media, there were reports photos were quickly being taken down by authorities. You would think that this would be an issue where they would rush to show people, to reassure them that the temple has not been badly damaged. But there is almost no news coming out at all in the last 2a hours. It is probably not the fault of the chinese, probably the flames spread from another building nearby. That is what we are guessing. But the fact that they were not able to put it out quickly is damaging for the chinese. It is unfortunate, it will set back relations again especially since nobody knows what has been damaged and what has survived. Tibetan buddhists consider this to be their most sacred site, travelling to prostrate themselves at the sakyamuni buddha, the founder of their religion.
