Government departments against using russian Anti Virus Software, saying it could be exploited. Englands untold history the public is asked to nominate places that deserve to be part of a new National Memorial scheme. Darren has the weather for us. Our weather could not be more different this weekend instead of the cold, northern winds and wintry showers. This weekend we have got a lot of cloud and rain and not a great deal of sunshine, but at least temperatures are rising. Good morning. First our main story. Us media reports say Donald Trumps former National Security adviser, Michael Flynn, who has admitted lying to the fbi about his contacts with russia, is prepared to give testimony that implicates the president s son in law, jared kushner. Mr flynn has agreed to co operate with an investigation into russian meddling in the us president ial election. Its thought hell tell investigators he was taking directions from senior members of Donald Trumps campaign team. The white house says mr flynn has implicated no one but himself in the investigation. Our washington correspondent laura bicker has more. Michael flynn, a retired three star general, left the court in washington to a familiar chant. Lock him up. Hed once encouraged donald Trump Supporters to use a similar version against rival hillary clinton. The 58 year old played a key part in mrTrumps Campaign and often travelled with him. If i did a tenth, a tenth of what she did, i would be injail today. He was rewarded with the post of National Security adviser, but was forced to resign afterjust 23 days when his contacts with russia to discuss us sanctions were disclosed. On the 29th of december, Michael Flynn spoke to the Russian Ambassador on the phone in the first of a series of calls. On the 15th of january, Vice President mike pence said that sanctions were not discussed in those calls. Only after the 9th of february, when a newspaper revealed general flynn did discuss sanctions, did pressure increase and Michael Flynn lost his job. As part of his guilty plea, prosecutors said mr flynn is now cooperating with the investigation. Us media claims he will testify that senior members of the trump team, including mr trumps son in law jared kushner, encouraged flynn to make contact with russian officials. The white house is now trying to distance himself from flynns actions, and the lies he told to the fbi, but having reached a plea bargain to co operate, what else has mr flynn told the enquiry and what further revelations are to come . All Government Departments have been advised by the National Cyber Security Centre not to use russian Anti Virus Software on systems containing sensitive information. Kaspersky lab, which has 400 million customers worldwide, was banned from Us Government networks earlier this year. The Company Denies any links to the kremlin. Our reporter, jon donnison, has more. Cyber Security Software like that provided by Kaspersky Lab requires extensive access to the files on a computer phone or network to look for viruses. Our mission has always been to protect. Kaspersky is used by consumers and businesses as well as some parts of government to protect systems from criminals and hackers. But now a new warning about russian Anti Virus Software, amid fears it could be used for spying. Secrets of global significance. At britains National Cyber Security Centre, they say theyve not seen actual proof of such espionage, but theyve told Government Departments not to use kaspersky for systems containing sensitive data. This is specifically about entities that may be of interest to the russian government and so for us thats about National Security systems in government, of which there are a very small number. Kaspersky lab has already denied allegations that its been used for espionage in america. We dont do anything wrong. They are just speculating about some rumours, opinions and there is zero of the hard data. 400 Million People use kaspersky products around the world, but Officials Say theyre not telling the general public to stop using it. Kaspersky lab denies any wrongdoing, but todays warning is another sign about growing fears over the risk posed by russia. The conduct of two former Police Officers who leaked allegations that pornographic images had been found on the computer of the now first secretary of state, damian green, have been criticised by the former attorney general, dominic grieve. Mr green has repeated his insistence that he didnt view the material. Our Political Correspondent tom bartonjoins us now. Bring us up with the latest developments. After yesterdays further allegations by a second for the metropolitan Police Officers surrounding claims that pornography was found on damian greens computer after his Parliamentary Office was raided in 2008, conservative mps have been rallying to his support, including the brexit secretary david davis, who yesterday told downing street they should not sack him over these allegations. Then last night these allegations. Then last night the former attorney general, dominic grieve, raised concerns about the conduct of the two officers who have been making these allegations. They choose to put material that an ordinary citizen would be prohibited from acquiring under Data Protection rules into the Public Domain on their ownjudgment. Rules into the Public Domain on their own judgment. There is rules into the Public Domain on their ownjudgment. There is a way of dealing with that. If you think something is relevant, do it by proper, official means. You do not go freelancing as these officers have done and it has the smack of a police state about it. Damian green is to reasons mes second closest ally, the second most important person sitting around the table. This matters because it pits his denial of these allegations against the word of two former Police Officers. A senior government official, sue gray, is looking into these allegations as well as separate allegations of the inappropriate behaviour by damian green towards a conservative activist, allegations which damian green also denies, and her report could well be on the desk of the Prime Minister within days. Pope francis is spending his final day in bangladesh after using his highly anticipated asia trip to express support for the rohingya muslims. Yesterday, the pope met a group of refugees and referred to them using the word rohingya for the first time. He had been criticised for not using the term on his earlier visit to myanmar. White house officials have indicated that President Trump is likely to announce next week that the United States will recognise jerusalem as the capital of israel. The status ofjerusalem is highly contentious, with both israelis and palestinians claiming all or part of the city as their capital. Critics have warned that the decision by donald trump could jeopardise peace negotiations. Its feared there could be hundreds ofjob losses at toys r us after the retailer announced it would close around a quarter of its uk stores. The move, which would see the closure of 25 shops, is part of a deal by the owners to renegotiate debts with its landlords. Its thought Christmas Trading and gift vouchers will not be affected by the move. Those are the main stories this morning. Weve learnt so much about special Educational Needs here on breakfast this week and have discovered a Record Number of parents are fighting for the support their child requires at tribunals. Weve found out theres been a staggering increase in the number of parents who have taken their kids out of school because they felt their needs arent being met. Weve also learnt so many more children will be affected by such issues over the course of their life than previously thought today we are launching a week long series to look at what life is like for our most vulnerable children. Children with special needs are being let down by the education system. I do not think most people will understand unless you are a pa re nt will understand unless you are a parent of a child with special needs how much of a battle it is to get the appropriate support for your child. Cruel, dramatic, heart wrenching. Diane describes the process she has gone through, two yea rs process she has gone through, two years fighting two tribunal is to get the right support for her daughter. It does not make sense what we have been through. Many pa rents tell what we have been through. Many parents tell as they also have had to pay for Financial Independent advice, lawyers and experts, and emotional cost which cannot be quantified. Life with disabilities isa quantified. Life with disabilities is a fight. I once said many years ago to the social worker when she was small if something happens to me, put her in the grave with me because i do not feel in the past 15 yea rs because i do not feel in the past 15 years we because i do not feel in the past 15 yea rs we have because i do not feel in the past 15 years we have made much of an improvement as far as services are concerned for these vulnerable kids. Services are overstretched, been reduced, rising referrals and unacceptable long waiting times. We have not had any response from the government but that is not through lack of trying. Nobody will front up about this. I have a response from a teaching assistant who is working in Outstanding School who says we do not have the funding or the facilities to allow them to flourish. My staffing is so low because of the cuts i have had to make over the last three years that i now have to phone parents up and say, sorry, i cannot have your son oi say, sorry, i cannot have your son or daughter in today. What have you done today to make you feel proud. Learning difficulties and autism. A speech impediment. You are just phenomenal kids and we absolutely love you even though our family puts the funk into dysfunctional, you guys rock. And he has been here it is a complete turnaround for him. He has friends, he can count, he is recognising the signs and trying to read, things they told us he would never be able to do. This is about helping children fulfil their potential. To do.

Sophie has been in touch saying i think that school is amazing, the staff do an amazing job, it does not pay much, people do thejob amazing job, it does not pay much, people do the job for the love of it. Thanks everyone for cheerleading as. Keep saying it for manchester. We have had an enormous amount of interest in this this week. And we do read all the e mails and tweets. What have you done today to make you feel proud . You have been with us throughout this series. I am quite emotional. A lot of the stories are a very emotional. Joe had his moment, but in amongst all of that and Inspiring Stories there are a lot of frustrations. For you as a journalist there is the lack of government representation. We wanted a minister here on the sofa with us and to say come on, lets talk about this. This is a work in progress, we will not let it go, we will work on that. The government offered something, a moment, one question. But not enough time. We wanted to have a big discussion about this, this is serious stuff. We wanted a significant amount of time to go through this and we wanted notjust the sound bite. Work in progress, lets ta ke the sound bite. Work in progress, lets take a moment. We always say so lets take a moment. We always say so many people have responded. This has been like nothing else. No story has been like nothing else. No story has touched people in the same way that this one has. Many people have got in touch. Can i share a couple with you. Barry was intact and said this. We lived a nightmare, timescales ignored, expert evidence ignored, their decisions based on nothing other than their ill informed thoughts and budget all while our daughter had no education. Catherine says i and many other pa rents catherine says i and many other parents resonate with this, there is so parents resonate with this, there is so little provision for the future, moreover the worry of real care and understanding and love of our children when they become adults and we are not there was it keeps me awake at night. Our greatest fear is being able to secure a safe and happy future for our precious girl without us. We asked people out there to send their positive thoughts. We wanted them to send them to the people who made a difference in their lives because there are so many people and we have been cheering them on social media all week. Can i take a moment to do that . One goes to conor sparrowhawk, a young man who died in an assessment treatment unit. Chatting to his mother on this sofa made brea kfast to his mother on this sofa made breakfast do more than we have ever done on social disabilities. So many people said, the media never talks about this. He made a significant difference. Another one goes tojoe who we talked about, who we saw in that report. He is amazing. He said i want to shout out to all my pals in tesco where he does work experience. Also vary on the front iow experience. Also vary on the front row in that choir singing his heart out. He was such a quiet little boy he hardly spoke, but he sang the loudest. He smiled the widest and looking at him yesterday in that choir it maybe think about all those pa rents choir it maybe think about all those parents fighting for Something Better and it made me think about the children sitting at home separated from their friends and it made me think we will carry on shining a light. The boss agrees and we will keep on at it and i will shut up. It has touched you greatly and that is what the stories do to us. And that is what the stories do to us. Thank you. Lets talk to darren. It is warming up lets talk to darren. It is warming upa lets talk to darren. It is warming up a little bit. One day . It is cold across the eastern side of england and it will turn milder this weekend. But we have got a lot more cloud this weekend and it is big enough to give as rain and drizzle from time to time. It is a dull picture, cloudy skies for many of us, rain and drizzle in east anglia and the south east. Dab in the south west. Rain coming in towards the north of scotland. We will hang onto cloudy skies. Grizzly showers in wales and the south west and perhaps in the midlands. You see temperatures struggling up the eastern side of england.

This evening and overnight that patchy, light rain thinks further south and moves away from scotland into Northern Ireland wales, Northern England, the midlands and east anglia. It keeps the temperatures up, but behind that in scotland it could turn rather chilly, otherwise a mild night ahead. The cold weather has gone into the near continent and we have got High Pressure out towards the west. But around the top of it there is mild air. It will be chilly start in eastern scotland, sunshine for a while in eastern scotland. A better chance of seeing sunshine in england, improving in wales and east anglia and maybe eventually in the south. Temperatures will be nine or ten. On the western side of the uk it is cloudy and dial and a bit damp. We start the new week with cloudy skies and the best chance of seeing sunshine in the eastern part of the uk. Mild at nine or ten. In mid week it could get wet and then cold air returns towards the end.
