1:31 pm
is going on in the weather notjust today but throughout this week, low pressure is close by and around the area of low pressure we have drawn colder air back in across the uk, so remember the start of last week got as high as 18 celsius, we will not see that this week, eight for some today if you are lucky. you can see all of the showers across england and wales, perhaps noble sum across parts of southern scotland and northern england. it is quite windy into southern england and south wales with the showers, drier, brighter moments in between, but hey, thunder and lightning for some of these as well and if you get wid of these as well and if you get wid ofa of these as well and if you get wid of a shower it may not be long before another comes along and the risk of longer spells of brain for southern scotland and northern england. one or two showers into northern ireland but also sunshine and elsewhere in scotland lighter winds, sunshine and it doesn't feel too bad for some. this evening
1:32 pm
any rain, sleet and snow in southern scotla nd any rain, sleet and snow in southern scotland and northern england should push into the north sea but the showers continue elsewhere in england and wales, wetter weather coming back into western scotland and northern ireland later in the night, and that means that as temperatures dipped it is a recipe for prost temperatures dipped it is a recipe for frost and widespread ice into tomorrow morning on untreated surfaces so do be aware of that. quite windy wid early wet weather in northern ireland, pushing on it north—west england, west wales, especially the hills, and elsewhere you may find things quieter compared with today, and with single figure temperatures. by wednesday, frost and ice again to start the day, first day of march, meteorological spring under way, wetter weather from the south feeds northwards, there could be seed and snow on the hills are especially as you get further north. somewhat quieter for us on further north. somewhat quieter for us on thursday for a time, showers heading into northern ireland and wetter weather for some on friday but turning less cold in the south later this week but still on the chilly side across the northern half

1:34 pm
just after the break, southampton levelled the game at 2—2 through manolo gabbiadiani. who else but the swedish striker to score the winner with 3 minutes left on the clock. now mourniho has called on the club's fans to help ensure he stays at old trafford for another season. i don't back football players but if needed i think maybe united fans can go to the door of his house and stay there all night. if needed i think you will go for sure. so mourinho has urged fans to camp outside zlatan's house — and the man himself spoke about his residence after the match. the medallist in the museum, i have a place for this. leicester

1:37 pm
by. plan brilliantly but it was in rugby. if i was the bbc i would ask the rfu for the money back because that was not a game. we have to go train now. that wasn't a game. european championship silver medallist and 2012 olympian roberto pav—oni has retired from swimming. he came second in the aoom individual medley in the 2014 european championships in berlin, he also also took bronze in the 200m. pavoni will be staying with his sport as he starts a new career in coaching. that's all the sport for now, you can find more on the bbc website. more now on the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales, which has started its first public hearings. live to the inquiry in central london, and jane hill thank you ben, a very significant day albeit in rather anonymous
1:38 pm
surroundings in central london buses usually significant day for survivors of abuse. finally this long process is getting under way. for the next couple of weeks as we have been reflecting today, there is a specific line of enquiry which is looking at the plight that befell the huge number of child migrants, young people who were sent to the colonies, especially australia and the enquirer will be looking from the enquirer will be looking from the years 1940—74, many of those children suffered quite appalling abuse at people who were meant to be caring for them. we can talk about the scope of this enquiry with doctor margaret humphreys who is here with me. in terms of this enquiry as a whole, we're finally today at the start of a long process and you have worked with survivors
1:39 pm
for many years, how important is today for them and for you? for them, they are at the heart of all this so for them it has been 30 years of campaigning for truth and justice, for their people, for the british people to understand and know what happened took 30 years. it ends today in that sense in day at long last will be up to tell everybody what happened to them. long last will be up to tell everybody what happened to themm that act in itself helpful? does that act in itself helpful? does that deal with that criticism that says this is a long expensive talking shop, it won't achieve anything, is there still value to them? wealth festival of course there are lessons to be learned. we cannot turn our back on this. —— well first of all of course. this is a hugely important day for them and for all of the families and we will as the days go on here evidence. we
1:40 pm
must be able to listen to it and ourselves bear it and hear it. you say to parents, anybody who follows this evidence in the days and weeks to come, it's going to be extraordinarily difficult? it's going to be hard for all of us as we may take heart from their courage and we must have courage and face it ourselves. we have to face our past and this is an opportunity to do that. i know there are certain limitations you can say at this stage because you yourself will be giving evidence to this enquiry to the back enquiry. four people listening to this today who didn't know the story and no children were being sent to australia and what they were going through, can you talk to us about what the children
1:41 pm
enjoyed? one of the things they ensured was the loss of family. —— ensured. a four—year—old child being taken to ensured. a four—year—old child being ta ken to australia ensured. a four—year—old child being taken to australia being led to believe their parents are dead and 50 years later they learn their mother or father was still alive and was looking for them. that is the context we're putting this child abuse within that context. they were the most vulnerable of our children and most vulnerable in australia. as someone and most vulnerable in australia. as someone who works closely with them and has helped so many, what concrete at the end of this process do they want as one as much can generalise i appreciate that a lot of people said to you? it will be different for different people but collectively what they all want his truth and justice. the apology did
1:42 pm
so truth and justice. the apology did so much good. it was the acknowledgement and recognition that what needed to follow it was just a sad truth. that was seven years ago and it is reasonable they would expect following that sincere apologies, it spent a lot simple and chief —— symbolically and what needs to follow his truth and justice in today's start of that. very good of you to talk to us and hopefully we can speak again later after you give evidence. thank you for your time. doctor margaret humphreys who really was instrumental in raising awareness and bringing the issue of child migration and the unbelievable hardships that many of those children ensured the willett and dirtand she children ensured the willett and dirt and she will be giving evidence
1:43 pm
which finally has begun today. we will have continuing coverage from central london through the course of the day. thank you. the government is facing calls from conservative mps to scrap plans to limit access to a key disability benefit. it's thought changes to the rules on who qualifies for the personal independence payment could affect around 160 thousand people. it comes as a key aide to theresa may said disability benefits reforms were needed to roll back the "bizarre" decisions of tribunals. with me is marjorie wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity sane. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. let me read what the head of the policy unit has said. george freeman saying, he came underfire
1:44 pm
policy unit has said. george freeman saying, he came under fire after suggesting personal independence payment should go to the really disabled people who need it rather than those who are, taking pills at home who suffer from anxiety‘s what you make of that? i'm astounded and sad because this is the adviser to the government that says we should have a parity between physical and mental illness. the flaw in the argument that if a person has crippling anxiety or do depression, they're just is crippling anxiety or do depression, they‘ re just is disabled crippling anxiety or do depression, they're just is disabled as someone who is confined to bed. i should say he has said he regrets any offence caused by those comments and said he has personal experience of the problem. what is the impact of this on the wider government policy? the impact is it is demeaning to people with mental illness because it is invisible and because it is
1:45 pm
difficult to diagnose there are disagreements and because it is much harder to prove the impact it can have on your live, it's looks like they'll be far more discrimination than before. it doesn'tjustify using this carrot and stick approach for people who are already punished. they have a terrible condition and are in despairand they have a terrible condition and are in despair and then they are told you how to prove that to us because you are not as disabled as a person in a wheelchair. people say there has to be guidelines of boundaries? of course for everybody and the effect it has their lives but i think we can't go down the of these comparisons and if they are in fa ct these comparisons and if they are in fact wanting this carrot and stick approach, the idea people sitting around with anxiety just approach, the idea people sitting around with anxietyjust taking pills, we have cause to say it all the time that very few people want to be sitting at home taking
1:46 pm
anxiety, they're to be sitting at home taking anxiety, they‘ re desperate to be sitting at home taking anxiety, they're desperate to get out into the world and desperate to get help. surely what the government should do is give that help rather than deprive them of benefits? should do is give that help rather than deprive them of benefits7m terms of government policy downing street are saying today that no claim it will lose out as a result of the changes to the personal independence payment is, what you of that? is i don't rate it much, they are saying that £7 billion be taken out of budget for these kinds of payments. i think you have to get right back to the fact that for some people with mental illness, it is the fluctuating and disability rating disease for a long time and you have to be able to be much more open and sympathetic to that as well as to people with a physical handicap. you want a complete rethink? it would be good over divisions that have happened and proved that the kind of hurtful discriminations. thank you for being
1:47 pm
with us. in a moment we'll have all of the latest business news but first of all the headlines. an apology has been issued after the wrong film was awarded the best picture at the oscars. moonlight eventually winning the award. the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse in england and wales has begun — more than two and a half yea rs has begun — more than two and a half years after it was set up. the government faces calls from its own mps to scrap plans to limit access toa mps to scrap plans to limit access to a key disability benefit known as personal independence payments. in the business this afternoon... car insurance premiums could be set to rise —— by up to £75 a year — following a government shake—up of the injury payout scheme. a discount is applied to payouts for personal injury when they're awarded as a lump sum. but the change means payouts will be higher for victims of accidents — on the assumption that low interest
1:48 pm
rates mean they won't get much of a return when they invest the lump sum. more on that in just a moment. persimmon, one of the uk's biggest house—builders, reports a 23% jump in annual profit. the company sold more than 15,000 new homes last year — that's more than 15,000 new homes last year - that's 600 more than 15,000 new homes last year — that's 600 more than in 2015. and average prices were up almost 4%. it says, attractive mortgage products and the government's help to buy scheme remain ‘important‘ in supporting first—time buyers. more energy customers changed suppliers last year than in each of the previous six years. it seems we're increasingly shopping around for the best deal. bill payers switched providers more than seven million times, saving potentially more than £200 a year, according to ofgem. let's cross over to the united states now where the senate is expected to confirm an investor and former banker called wilbur ross as commerce secretary later today. our business correspondent, samira hussain, joins us live from new york stock exchange how important is
1:49 pm
this? it is really important because you remember president trump had campaigned on one of the big ideas that a free trade agreement has been very negative for some americans. big part of the united states. especially when you look at the manor factoring sector so when it comes to the commerce secretary he will be leading the way in terms renegotiating at these and trying to really work out a better and more equitable dealfor really work out a better and more equitable deal for americans. in terms of that vision to finally have secretary, it has been a long time but this confirmation is really going to be helping in terms of getting this vision pushed through. what sort of agenda will they likely have? one really important role when
1:50 pm
it comes to the commerce secretary is that if you had any disagreements within the trade organisation, american companies will take those problems to the, secretary and the commerce department is the one in charge of fighting those deals. mr ross has a ready said he is going to be very fierce and very proactive when it comes to any part of trade deals that are putting americans at a disadvantage so we could really see a commerce department that is going to be more active in terms of really going after and fair parts of trade deals and on the one hand that could be good for american companies, but of course on the other the worry is the retaliation measures that we might see from other countries. thank you. we have been watching how markets have been reacting. they've been talking about a mergerfor reacting. they've been talking about a merger for years and reacting. they've been talking about a mergerfor years and last reacting. they've been talking about a merger for years and last spring the london stock exchange and
1:51 pm
deutsche boerse announced they would finally go ahead and join forces. but now it seems the proposed £24 billion merger is likely to collapse. it's after the lse said the deal was unlikely to be approved by the european commission. earlier, neil wilson, a senior market analyst at etx capital, told the bbc, where he thinks the problem lies. i think the european commission and the european regulators had never been terribly comfortable with the deal. the whole tie—up of lsc and deutsche bank never sat comfortably with either side of the channel. i think ever since brexit the whole concept of having the merged entity based and headquartered in london was something the european commission and regulators were not very happy about. the london market traded higher, but shares in insurance companies slid following that change on how
1:52 pm
personal injury claims are calculated. the change, made by the ministry ofjustice, is expected to increase pay—outs to accident victims and affect insurance companies' profits. direct line shares fell 7.5% while admiral group dropped 3%. that's it from me, we will be back with more than an hour's time. back to the oscars which were of course dominated by that massive mix up —— the musical "la la land" was mistakenly named as best picture. but minutes later the honour was given to moonlight. here's some consolation for the hosts — because last night's oscars blunder isn't the first awards show mix—up — lets look at some more excruciating moments. miss universe 2015 is... colombia. ok folks, i have to apologise.
1:53 pm
1:54 pm
1:55 pm
this is crazy. i don't know what to say right now. i'm feeling a bit sick about this. i'm so sorry about this. oh my god. i don't know what to say, this was a complete accident i'm sorry, it's amanda. it was read to me wrong. it's ok sarah. this is what happens when you have live tv folks. this is insane. it's all right. 0h
1:56 pm
oh dear. i hope all of that makes the organisers at the oscars feel a little bit better right now. time for the weather. i'm on a cold sweat after a ll for the weather. i'm on a cold sweat after all of that i don't know about you. thank goodness it's the weather because we know nothing ever goes wrong with the weather. let's take a look at some of the weather watcher pictures today. lovely scene from scotland, blue skies and active weather as we look in cornwall with hailand weather as we look in cornwall with hail and look all of these showers and the recent rain and snow radar. you can pick out a bit of snow in north wales. hale anson snow around from some of the showers and this is the big picture that we start this week, low pressure everywhere and it will be throughout the week and we start the week with colder air feeding in across the uk from the low pressure so temperatures will
1:57 pm
come down, certainly feels different from this time last week. let's take a look at over the next few hours, plenty of showers rattling through, the longest spell may expand elsewhere. the shells are moving quite quick to the south with the strength of the wind leaving a blustery picture here. the ross and try and bright gaps in between bits yes that's longer spell of rain and sleet and snow will go into this evening. just getting one to showers dotted about with lighter wins and a bit of sunshine here and there making for a pleasant afternoon. any rain, sleet or snow falls into the north sea tonight and further showers across the rest of the england and wales. temperatures dipping, a recipe for notjust frost but widespread ice. maybe if you
1:58 pm
foggy patches in eastern scotland. wet windy weather pushing into northern england and west wales, wind is picking up in south england. a relatively low level in a few spots but elsewhere if you start with sunshine expects showers developing into the afternoon and single figure temperatures. frost and ice on wednesday morning but there will be this area of wet weather feeding up from the south which could have sleet and snow and as it feeds further northwards, thursday looks like a quieter by the day but we'll see wet weather at some day but we'll see wet weather at some point and it will turn less cold and southern parts later in the week but still chilly across the north.
