The British Government has called for increased anti doping measures in sport. The British Government has ruled out criminalising doping in sport after conducting what it calls extensive interviews with sports bodies and anti doping organisations. In a review published today the government says criminalisation would slow down the process already in place to tackle cheating. We think the system in place as one of the most robust systems in the world. We felt the idea of criminalisation would change the burden of proof and make it harder to investigate these incidents and that actually you could end up with a lesser punishment if you went through the criminal procedures, so we genuinely think the system we have in place is the right one.

Lets get more now on the allegation from a british former assistant of Harvey Weinstein that she was paid 125 thousand pounds in a gag agreement, after accusing the movie mogul of sexual harassment. Zelda perkins has told the Financial Times she signed a non disclosure deal in 1998 after making the claims. Weinstein has denied any allegations of non consensual sex unequivocally. Matthew garrahan is the Financial Times journalist who spoke to ms perkins and explained why she decided to speak out now. She felt very hemmed in why the agreement she struck with weinstein and miramax 19 years ago. It was very restricted. She wasnt able to talk to anybody about it. She had to basically commit to being completely silent and 19 years on she is breaking her silence and talking about some of the restrictions and the pressure she was put under when she signed the agreement. Some would say looking at the deal that she made that she made a deal and she took the amount of money and she should abide by those terms. They might say that and i think thats fair but then you look at the Bigger Picture here and you have a woman who was 2a years old who was going up against one of the richest, most powerful people in hollywood who used all the resources at his disposal and one big London Law Firm to negotiate with her on this contract and there are several troubling aspects to this. She wasnt even allowed to have a copy of her agreement, such was the secrecy it was shrouded in. They went through three negotiation sessions with her and at the end she agreed to not have a copy so she doesnt even know 20 years on a lot of the things in it and she did abide by the spirit of the contract but feels that the system needs better regulation, as it doesnt help people who are vulnerable or in negotiation with richer and more powerful individuals like Harvey Weinstein. What would she like to happen do you think . I think a bit of sunlight on the whole process would help. She isnt saying system needs to be scrapped but it needs regulation and it needs, there are certain things in it. There are things she had to agree to such as if there was a criminal investigation of Harvey Weinstein that she had to limit the evidence she gave and you look at that now with everything that has happened and the allegations its preposterous so i think there are certain things that should be kept out of the agreements. Yes, they are legally binding and they should be legally binding but they need to be transparent and regulated. You shouldnt be allowed to say and do anything in them and lock people up for the rest of their lives. Peanut allergies affect around one in every 50 School Age Children and for some of it can be fatal. But a clinic in cambridge is reporting Great Success in treating youngsters with the nut allergy. The centre at addenbrookes hospital is the only one of its kind in britain. Out of 100 patients, 98 have so far shown increased resistance. But for now, the treatment is not available on the nhs. Emma baugh reports. Hello, jack. How are you doing . Shake hands. Ten year old jack at the peanut allergy clinic. He is getting gradually increasing amounts of peanut protein in a controlled way. In essence, its an Old Fashioned treatment available for pollen hay fever on the nhs. But for years, people have been afraid of using it for food due to the potential for severe reactions. We went ahead and did an initial trial in the 20005, and we found it was successful and we should really press ahead as it seems to be working well. Jacks one of 100 people being treated here for the potentially life threatening allergy. Its worrying sometimes. Sometimes in the shops, there are a lot of peanuts around. It worries me that i would react suddenly or Something Like that. We feel very lucky and fortunate that we can do this for him. Hopefully his quality of life at the end of it will be so much better because he isnt going to walk around with worry on his shoulders the whole time. But the treatment does not come cheap. A two year course costs £17,000, and it isnt available on the nhs. This isnt a licensed medicine yet, in order to get a drug licence we have to do further clinical trials, which are planned. Until weve done that, we will not be able to get nhs commissioning, but it is something that we really want to achieve. Its hoped eventually the treatment could be free to help stop reactions to peanuts, meaning a trip to a e. Emma baugh, bbc news, cambridge. A controversial new film has premiered in russia after months of protests, threats and violence. Matilda, which tells the story of a romance between the then future tsar nicholas ii and a ballerina, has attracted huge attention ever since 0rthodox activists led by a russian mp began a campaign against it. The film has become the latest test case of artistic freedom in russia, as 0ur moscow correspondent Sarah Rainsford reports from the premiere in st petersburg. This is how extremists responded to a film about russias last tsar. They torched two cars and ran another one into an empty cinema. This is what upset them. Matilda is russias most controversial film in years. A love story about a ballerina and a future tsar. More soap opera than biopic it has become a test of artistic freedom here, as the violence to ban it has grown. Despite the threats, matilda made it to opening night. With the arsonist arrested, celebrities, socialites and stars poured in for the Saint Petersburg premiere. After months of threats, violence and controversy, matilda is finally getting its moment on the red carpet. Some foreign stars are not here because of security concerns but for the director, the fact the film has made it this far is a reason to celebrate. Translation i hope there are no incidents now so that people can come to the cinema and watch the film in peace. But i think this is a victory, not so much for me or for matilda but for common sense. It is a failure, however, for this mp who campaigned relentlessly to get the film banned. Nicholas ii is an orthodox saint and this woman insists the love story is blasphemous. But nicholas and matilda did have a romance and the proof is amongst the dusty documents in this theatre archive. Her diaries record late night trysts with the man she called nicky. There is even a first kiss. On these pages at least at least it goes no further. Translation even these diaries say that if anything happened it wasnt how the film director imagined it. I think that is why there has been protest. You have to be respectful. But the director puts a barbie doll together with ken and makes them kiss and roll around in a passionate embrace. Even at the premiere, the director was ha rangued. This man told him his film was a threat to national security. He has not actually seen it. The dispute is bound to rumble on. But after this gala performance, matilda will hit schemes across the country with extra security for cinemas just in case. In a moment, a summary of the Business News this hour, but first, the headlines on bbc news the European Union suggests its still possible for the uk to abandon the brexit process, as the the president of the European Commission says he believes a fair deal can be reached. The bbc understands a british man who has been fighting against so called Islamic State in syria has been killed while clearing landmines in raqqa. Hospitals in england could carry out 280,000 extra operations a year just by making better use of operating theatres and time management, a report finds. Hallow, welcome to the Business News. People in debt could be given more time to get back on their feet. The treasury is going to consult on introducing a six week breather period where Interest Payments and enforcement action would be suspended. The financial regulator has ordered the rent to own Company Bright house to pay more than £14 million in compensation to customers. It affects almost a quarter of a Million People some of whom signed up for deals they couldnt afford. Whitbread has seen its overall profits rise thanks to growth from its premier inn business. But its other company costa coffee didnt do as well. Sales there slowed down over the last six months. Now, packaging and how to dispose of it has been under discussion today at a meeting of the Environmental Audit committee. Well, mp mary creagh is chair of the Environmental Audit committee and she joins me from westminster. Thanks forjoining us. Thats start with plastic bottles we see everywhere. There is some talk about a return scheme for empty bottles. How would that work . Well, we have heard evidence from the environmental and campaigning charities about the huge amounts of plastic that are ending up in the sea and ending up in landfill and as litter and we think about 700,000 plastic bottles each day are listed into the environment. Some of that makes its way into our seas, rivers and oceans and has a detrimental effect on the life and human health because ade seafood you could be consuming micro plastics because if you eat the food you could be consuming micro plastics. A small charge of ten of 15p on these bottles a nd charge of ten of 15p on these bottles and then returning it to the supermarket where you bought it, put into a digital machine and get your money back and that would capture that plastic which would then go back into the recycled to become the next plastic bottle. Is down is great in theory but how practical is it if you are a Small Business owner, how can you deal with all of these bottles being brought back . There are pros and cons for corner shops, the key is to keep this away from the mainstream of what the shops activity is but i think also theres concern about how much it would cost and whether it would take those plastic bottles which are a valuable resource out of household kerb side recycling scheme so we have been talking to local councils, organisations, this morning who have said we get hundreds £27 per tonne for this stuff, we dont want to going back into supermarkets, we lose revenue from that and that could cause a risk to our household recycling targets and our revenues so recycling targets and our revenues so its quite delicate ecosystem but industry realises doing nothing is not an industry realises doing nothing is notan chin industry realises doing nothing is not an chin and consumers already think that doing nothing is not an option and consumers already think they should recycle so we need to think about getting rid of these rip this these ridiculous polymers that cannot be recycled. We need to do our bit to clean up the environment. Thanksjoining us. Googles new flagship smartphones, the pixel two and pixel two xl, have attracted complaints about the quality of the screen.
