the first public hearing of the inquiry into historical cases of child sexual abuse has been told that vulnerable british children were sent overseas in a long—running migration scheme which exposed them to "unacceptable depravity". thousands of children were sent to former british colonies such as australia after 1945. the inquiry will go on to examine child protection failings in institutions in england and wales including schools and hospitals. live to the inquiry in central london, and jane hill. good afternoon from the inquiry. as it approaches the end of its first day. the first three chairs all had to resign, you will remember, but finally, this morning, professor alexis jay, the now head of this

inquiry opened these proceedings formally and there is a very long way to run indeed. counsel for the inquiry, henrietta hill qc, said that allegations of abuse would be heard at institutions throughout what will be a very long running inquiry. in the last couple of hours, an apology has been issued, an embarrassing element on this first formal day of proceedings. it emerged that an e—mail had been sent out to people who'd asked to join a survivors forum and an e—mail was sent out to many dozens of people which accidentally showed the e—mail address of every person on that recipient list. the inquiry has apologised for the mistake but it certainly is an embarrassment on the first formal day of proceedings. this report first of all on the day's events from our home affairs

correspondent, tom symons. this is an inquiry with the powers of a court to obtain evidence, and so many of these people are lawyers, for the victims and for those accused of responsibility. but it was for the inquiry‘s own barrister to set out the dark history of britain's child migrants. child migration programmes were large—scale schemes in which thousands of children, many of them vulnerable, poor, abandoned, illegitimate or in the care of the state, were systematically and permanently migrated to remote parts of the british empire. the liner asturias arrives at fremantle from great britain with 931 new migrants for this country. they were being offered a new life, and countries like australia what was described as white, anglo—saxon stock, but the inquiry will hear they were given little understanding of how their lives were about to change. many will say that they were taken without the consent or the informed consent of their parents or guardians. many will say that they were wrongly

told that they were orphans, separated from their siblings, and deprived of basic details about their identities. but this is an inquiry about sexual abuse in places like the catholic school at bindoon in western australia. victims will come back to the land of their birth to give evidence. the international association will say that we were sent to what we can only describe as labour camps, where we were starved, beaten and abused in despicable ways, and all ties to our families were severed. the woman who uncovered the child migrant scandal in the 1980s will also give evidence. we want to know what's happened. we want to know who did it, and we want to know who covered it up for so long. of course we need to know about it, there are consequences for children today. of the long—term consequences... and it will be harrowing. david hill is a former child

migrant who has extensively researched the history. and he will give evidence as part of these hearings which will take place over the next two weeks. that witness was sent to australia with his two brothers and he's just one in the many, many that this inquiry is going to hearfrom. specifically, in relation to child migrants, for the whole of this week and next week certainly, and then the inquiry will move on to look at a large number of other institutions andindeed a large number of other institutions and indeed individuals. it's a long—running process at the end of which there'll be a series of recommendations. it have the power but —— it won't have any power but it will look at the recommendations. the lady we heard from in tom's

piece there who uncovered the whole story into child migrants, she said to me that she expected we'd hear some very, very difficult and emotional evidence in the days and weeks to come. we'll have more from the inquiry a little later in the afternoon. for now, ben and maxine, back to you. the firm that oversees the oscars says it's investigating how la la land was wrongly named best picture when the winner was actually moonlight. price waterhouse coopers has apologised, saying the wrong envelope was given to the stars announcing the award. david willis reports now from la. what should have been the climax of the glitziest night in tinseltown turned into a hollywood farce. warren beatty was about to announce the academy award for best picture... and the academy award... but seemed confused. ..for best picture...

in the end, faye dunaway made the announcement. la la land! and la la land's producers were midway through their acceptance speeches when on came the man in the headphones, frantically trying to clear the stage. it turned out that la la land hadn't won the oscar after all — it belonged instead to the producers of moonlight, the low—budget underdog. this is not a joke, moonlight has won best picture. "moonlight, best picture." la la land producerjordan horowitz gallantly handed the oscar over as the audience looked on aghast. it was left to an embarrassed warren beatty to try to explain the producer's mistake. i want to tell you what happened... i opened the envelope and it said, "emma stone, la la land." that is why i took such a long look at faye and at you, i wasn't trying to be funny!

moonlight, the drama of a gay black man growing up in miami, was dwarfed by la la land in terms of nominations, but it ended triumphant in the most extraordinary of circumstances. very clearly, even in my dreams this could not be true. but to hell with dreams, i'm done with it because this is true! oh, my goodness! moonlight‘s triumph capped a record—breaking night for african—american talent, which the oscars have been criticised for overlooking. mahershala ali. the star of moonlight, mahershala ali, became the first muslim actor to win an academy award. viola davis was named best supporting actress for her role in fences. casey affleck was named best actor for his role in manchester by the sea, and la la land captured six awards, 32—year—old damien chazelle becoming the youngest person in oscars history to be named best director.

its star, emma stone, picking up the award for best actress. i still have a lot of growing and learning and work to do, and this guy is a really beautiful symbol to continue on thatjourney, and i'm so grateful for that. but who won what was eclipsed by that extraordinary blunder over best film. is that the craziest oscar moment of all time? cool! my heart was a little broken but it was kind of, just like one of those things that gets thrown at you and you can kind of choose to lean into it or push away from it, and, as i said, it was a real honour to be able to give it to them. the blame seems to rest with the people who hand out the winners' envelopes, of which there are two identical sets kept at either side of the stage. employees of the accountancy firm pwc hand them to

the presenters as they walk on. in a statement, pwc said it was trying to work out how the mix—up occurred. "the presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and, when discovered, the error was immediately corrected," the statement said. pwc has overseen ballot counting at the oscars for more than 80 years. the fact that such an extraordinary episode was allowed to play itself out in front of an audience of millions around the world will no doubt be a source of soul—searching for quite some weeks to come. let's remember, it's just an award show! the british actress naomie harris who missed out on a best supporting oscar for her role in moonlight spoke to our correspondent james cook after the ceremony. naomi harris of moonlight, wonderful performance.

thank you. it really was, it was most enjoyable, if that's the right word, i mean slightly grim as well. yes. what about the end of those oscars? it's a moment i'm never going to forget. i don't think it's ever happened in the history of the oscars. it was quite extraordinary and, i have to say, a little awkward. more than a little awkward actually. and i went up on stage with a gormless expression because i didn't know what was happening when they finally said it was moonlight, i was just like stunned, shocked and even shaking in fact, it was a very strange moment. poor la la land? yes. actually, i hadn't thought of that. i was only thinking of it from our perspective. but you are right, poor la la land, yes. it's not a nice thing to have happened. they won best director. not everybody, but most of the movies got recognition. there was some really nice surprises. it was diverse in terms of the number of representations.

it was diverse in terms of the number of diverse representations. that's what people like as well, it gets a little boring when it'sjust one movie. it does. tell me, just about moonlight and why for you your piece of work won best picture? i think because it is such an honest, authentic and personal story, you know. the piece was written because the writer's mother died and he was trying to recount his past and make sense of it. in that personaljourney that he penned, it actually is a universal story that appeals to so many people. ultimately at the heart what connected people is because it's about this yearning for connection andicth i think for connection and i think we are all yearning for connection. let's go live to los angeles

where our correspondent peter bowes has the latest. what is happening? aside from the usual oscars hangover, i think people are waking up thinking, did that happen? it was a fiasco never seen that happen? it was a fiasco never seen before in the history of this event. the oscars, the academy that turns out the oscars normally are very, very slick in their operation, so very, very slick in their operation, soi very, very slick in their operation, so i think people are still bewildered by what happened last night, as we havejust heard, the accountancy firm that organises the ballot papers is conducting an investigation into exactly how this has happened and have issued an apology. but it seems, just looking on, to be quite simple, probably human error. two sets of ballot papers or envelopes containing the results, one person at each side of the stage, handing them to the presenters, it seems the final envelope was just in the wrongderder

and give tonne the presenter. is it overshadowing moonlight success because all the headlines are about the error rather than who won?|j think in the short—term yes, it is, definitely. to talk about that success , definitely. to talk about that success, it was a great achievement, it was a really last—minute surge in popular support for moonlight against la la land which had 11! nominations, way more than moonlight, very different films, la la land you could see as a fluffy feel—good film, moonlight very gritty about a serious scenario, the man in miami coming to terms with his sexuality. the spotlight has been on diversity once again at the oscars. for all sorts of reasons, this is a significant film, great performances in that film too. with the passage of time, when, as you say, the dust settles, when the

glitter settles on this fiasco of the envelope, people will begin to recognise what a great achievement this has been by moonlight. what about politics in the speeches, was there much? there wasn't a tremendous amount of politics, certainly significant that the comments about politics from mostly the non—american film makers who got up the non—american film makers who got up to make a speech. yes there were somejokes and jibes up to make a speech. yes there were some jokes and jibes at the expense of donald trump, mostly byjimmy kimmel, the presenter in his opening remarks. but this wasn't a hugely political oscars. i think my sense being here is that people were getting a little jaded by some of the awards shows there have been over the past few weeks and the winners taking the opportunity to express their political views. so i don't think the oscars of 2017 are particularly going to be remembered for the politics. thank you very much.

some breaking news coming into us. we are hearing frommisele worth crown court that a man has been convicted of stealing jewellery from simon cowell‘s home in holland park. darren february has been convicted. he has 37 convictions for marry. he denied entering simon cowell‘s home, stealing jewellery and passports as well. simon cowell didn't appear as a witness during the trial but he had said that he and his partner lauren silverman were there at the time, they were very worried particularly about their sonner rick who was two at the time, this was a burglary back at the end of 2015. among the items stolen, a diamond ring worth an estimated £500,000,

watches, earrings and a diamond bracelet. darren february then convicted ofburgling simon cowell‘s home in holland park. the headlines: a major inquiry into historical child abuse begins hearing evidence from those sent to australia under a government—backed migration scheme. an apology has been issued after the wrong film was awarded best picture at the oscars after an envelope mix—up. moonlight walked off with the award. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, defends the government's decision not to publicise an error with nhs patient records when it was first discovered in march last year. world by discovered in march last year. world rugby says it's too early to speculate if there'll be changes to the laws after italy used tactics during yesterday's six nations match. leicester city face liverpool in the premier league for the first time since claudio ranieri was

sacked. craig shakespeare is in charge with leicester in the relegation zone. and britain may struggle to hold showcase events if brexit goes ahead. 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 160,000. it comes as a key aide to theresa may said disability benefits reforms were needed to roll back the "bizarre" decisions of tribunals. separately a number ten aide apologised after saying benefits should go to really disabled people. let's get more on this from our chief political correspondent vicki young who's at westminster. 7? ?? newsub this has been a tricky area for the government in the past. just last year, the then chancellor

george osborne had to row back and abandon plans to reduce the amount of benefit payments that people received after a rebellion and after the house of lords got involved. we'll have to see whether that kind of thing happens again. let's discuss it more. i'm joined by labour's shadow work and pensions spokeswoman. downing street have said no—one is losing out because what they are saying is that the courts have interpreted the legislation not in a way that it was originally intended so those who're already getting their pip payments will not be affected? i'm sorry that'sjust not the case and it's contradicting the government's past position in a tribunal in 2015. they actually argued that people with psychological distress should have the same consideration. the fact this was introduced on the same day in the by—election without consultation with the government's owi'i consultation with the government's own social security advisory committee, it's going to be enacted in three weeks' time, is an absolute

disgrace. the cost though, £3.7 billion over the next few years or so, that money would have to come from somewhere. how would labour pay for it? we are saying it's about different choices. let's be absolutely clear, this is the government trying to rebuild the economy, trying to unsuccessfully in many respects trying to rebuild the economy on the backs of sick and disabled people. i'm sure if most people are aware of the draconian cuts that disabled people are facing, notjust from cuts that disabled people are facing, not just from this cuts that disabled people are facing, notjust from this measure, but from the 2016 welfare act which is going to affect half a million dis disabled people as well as the 2012 welfare act where 3.7 million people will have had £28 billion worth of cuts. it's shocking. the government and the official spokesman is saying £50 billion a year goes to those who have health and disability issues. the point is

that we are seeing a social security budget that is declining, that's the government's own figures and if we compare the actual percentage spending asa compare the actual percentage spending as a percentage of gdp, we are one of the worst in europe. 19th out of 32 eu states. i think the government should be really ashamed of themselves. they say also a billion a year more will be going to those on pip regardless of this and there are others like steven crabb who last year was against the moves his own government were making, he says things have gone too far, they are making the criteria so much broader that so many more people will qualify? i would go back to the argument around the tribunal where the government argued psychological distress should be considered. also what is the government and particularly the prime minister saying when she became prime minister? she said that mental health conditions and support for mental health conditions in people

was inadequate. she's making it even worse. what about parity of esteem. where is all of that? one final question about your own party after the by—elections, of course, that loss in copeland. john mcdonnell saying and writing that he says there is a soft coup againstjeremy corbyn. what do you make of that? i'm here to discuss policies. it's taken four i'm here to discuss policies. it's ta ken four days, four days, i'm here to discuss policies. it's taken four days, four days, for this very important issue to be raised in the media and frankly, it's a real shame that we are not discussing it more. thank you very much indeed. there's been one or two tory mps copping out saying they are not happy with the government, saying it would need more than that for the government to be defeated and the house of lords last year were very vocal about a similar issue. we'll see when it comes to the vote what they decide to do. with me is vicki nash, head of policy and campaigns at mental health charity mind. what are your thoughts on government

policy on disability benefits, particularly the personal independece payments? when you are struggling to leave the house because of anxiety or panic attacks or other mental health problems, you arejust as or other mental health problems, you are just as restricted or other mental health problems, you arejust as restricted in or other mental health problems, you are just as restricted in your independence as those with a physical mobility problem and you face just as many high costs for day—to—day life as other disabled people do. so this announcement about restricting the personal independece payment to people with mental health problems is simply a bad decision and needs to be reversed. we heard from the prime minister's aide george freeman saying that these personal independece payments should go to "the really disabled people who need it" rather than those who can "taking pills at home who suffer from anxiety". george has apologised

for the comments which was the right thing to do. it showed a lack of understanding about how mental health can affect people in different ways. george was good in the sense that he spoke about his own personal experience but mental health affects individuals in com pletely health affects individuals in completely different ways an how it affects one person will be com pletely affects one person will be completely different to another person. you can't generalise like that and that is why having an assessment tailored to an individual is an important way to go, rather than a blanket ban for a particular disability or particular condition. obviously there has to be some boundaries to who can get these personal independece payments. how do you set those boundaries? that's the real challenge the government's got. i would go back to the point that we are talking about parity of esteem, quite a lot in the commentary that's been going on around this story and the government have made that commitment to takeling mental have made that commitment to ta keling mental health just have made that commitment to takeling mental health just as much as physical health. we go back to what theresa may said in that initial speech in january about the burning injustice that we face

around mental health and this new proposal flies around mental health and this new proposalflies in around mental health and this new proposal flies in the face of that. all right, thank you very much indeed. a man who attacked and killed his former girlfriend and her new partner outside the matalan store in cardiff where they both worked surfed the internet for methods of murder. andrew saunders repeatedly stabbed lee simmons and zoe morgan outside the store, and they subsequently died as a result of their injuries, the court heard. sentencing will take place tomorrow. the bbc has ordered an investigation into reports tv licence collectors have been targeting vulnerable people spurred on by an aggressive incentive scheme. a daily mail investigation claims bosses at capita which collects the fee promised bonuses of up to £15,000 a year to catch 28 evaders a week. replying to an urgent question in

the commons today, jeremy hunt said he'd received advice from officials that it would risk gp surgeries being inundated with concerns about patients and it was better to carry out a safety assessment first before releasing information about the documents. i was advised by officials not to make the issue public last march until an assessment of the risks to patient safety had been completed and all releva nt g p safety had been completed and all relevant gp surgeries informed. i accepted that advice for the very simple reason that publicising the issue could have meant gp surgeries being inundated with inquiries from worried patients which would have prevented them doing the most important work, namely investigating

the named patients who were potentially at risk. labour's shadow health secretary, john ashworth, said ministers handling of the issue was an absolute scandal. mr speaker, two months into 2017 and the health secretary letterches from one crisis to another. hospitals overcrowded, waiting lists out of control, he can't deliver the investment our nhs needs. he can't deliver a social care solution. he can't deliver patient safety and now he can't even deliver the post, mr speaker. joining me is our health correspondent, sophie hutchinson. a lot of people could potentially have been affected by this, butjeremy hunt making it quite clear that everything was kept securely? yes. so what he has said very clearly is that these weren't lost documents, that these weren't lost documents, that they were kept in storage, they should have gone to gps. in fact these documents included some, for example, cancer test results. so

they should have been heading straight to the gps so they could talk to patients. instead, these we re talk to patients. instead, these were documents that were either with the wrong address on them that needed to be re—addressed or re—routed because patients had moved gps. now, the nhs employed a company to do that, but it failed to do that and put them in storage instead. what the health secretary said today is that they have carried out a thorough investigation that they isolated 2,500 cases which they thought were at the most at risk. they have double checked them, all of them, apart from 500, and that investigation is ongoing at the moment but so far there has been no harm, he says. the concern raised in the question in the house of commons there was the fact thatjeremy hunt knew last march and didn't tell people? and so what the health secretary said today was that he got advice from officials who said that actually it would make matters worse, if you like, by publicising it widely, it was better for the worse, if you like, by publicising it widely, it was betterfor the nhs to get on with an investigation, allow g ps

to get on with an investigation, allow gps time to look at who was most at risk and then to talk about it. otherwise gps would be inundated. he said injuly he made a written statement to the house of commons so that it was on record. thank you. is right, it's time for a look at the weather. some rain, some shine, some snow and some hail. we've had it all today and we will continue to do so over the next 2a hours. also some wintry showers pushing into western parts of england and wales. ice will be the main hazard later on, especially where you've had the showers across the north and the west in particular. temperatures close to below freezing widely. it will be a cold start to your tuesday morning. a bright and sunny one for some, but don't rely on it, because there will be showers across northern ireland and western scotland. mostly rain showers, but

snow to high levels and gusty winds. some of the best of the sunshine tomorrow will be across scotland. nowhere will it be warm. temperatures struggling to get out of single figures and falling when the showers come along. more variety through the rest of the week. chopping and changing from day—to—day. more detail in half an hour's time. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines at a.31pm: the independent inquiry into historical child abuse has begun hearing evidence from those sent to australia under a government—backed migration scheme. the inquiry has also apologised after confidential data about dozens of those involved was mistakenly sent out in an e—mail. there's a mistake. moonlight, you

quys there's a mistake. moonlight, you guys won there's a mistake. moonlight, you guys won best picture. an oscars moment sure to be remembered as one of the most infamous in history. la la land's producers were halfway through their acceptance speeches for winning best picture when it emerged moonlight had actually won. the government is under pressure over plans to limit access to a key benefit that helps people cope with the extra costs of living with disability. it's thought changes to the rules on who qualifies for the personal independence payment could affect around 160,000 people. the government is insisting that "no patient harm has been identified" after half a million nhs records were mistakenly put in storage rather than being sent to gps orfiled in the patients' records. insurance companies are warning that car insurance premiums will go up, because of a decision by the government to adopt a new formula for calculating personal injury compensation. the government has been urged to make schools a priority in the budget after a report

by an economic think—tank said schools in england were facing their first real—terms cut in 20 years. now the sport with jj world rugby say it's "too early to speculate" whether there will be world rugby say it's "too early to speculate" "too early to speculate" whether there will be changes to the laws. following italy's tactic of refusing to contest the ball at the break—down in their six nations match yesterday. although referees might be offered "law application clarification" on how to handle similar situations in the future. england struggled to counter italy's tactics, to the frustration of head coach eddiejones. well, it wasn't rugby. italy were smart and congratulations to their coaching staff and their players, they executed the plan brilliantly, but it wasn't rugby. if i was the bbc i would be asking the rfu for

their money back. we will have to go out and train now so we get proper by. leicester city, who slipped into the premier league relegation zone over the weekend, face liverpool tonight. it is their first match since they sacked claudio ranieri, with craig shakespeare taking charge of the side for the match. andy swiss is at the king power stadium now. andy, it's going to be interesting to see how the fans react tonight? it will be very interesting. there isa it will be very interesting. there is a lot of anger among the fans about the way in which claudio ranieri as sacked. ranieri went to the training ground to say goodbye to his players. at the same time a number of those players were putting out statements insisting they had nothing to do with his sacking, but will those players get a hostile reception tonight or will the fans look at the premier league table, the fact that leicester are now in the fact that leicester are now in the relegation zone and decide they simply have #20e9 behind their team. leicester lost their last five premier league games. well, their

ca reta ker premier league games. well, their caretaker manager craig shakespeare says he knows his team have to improve theirform. says he knows his team have to improve their form. i'd like my team to play with flair, but i like clean sheets as well. we're playing against a very, very good team on monday night in liverpool. so we have to be tactically aware. i like to know the opposition's strengths and the opposition's weaknesses, but i also like my team to go about their job i also like my team to go about theirjob in the right way. yes, and craig shakespeare will know a good result here tonight might strengthen his hopes of becoming manager here full—time until the end of the season, but there are plenty of the season, but there are plenty of other names still in the frame. among them roe bert mancini, once a player here at leicester city, of course, won the premier league title with manchester city a few years ago of the his name has been touted around. as has nigel pearson, the predecessor to claudio ranieri here at leicester. guided them into the

premier league, helped them cling on to their premier league status a few yea rs to their premier league status a few years ago, but left amid acrimonious circumstances and gus hiddink. so plenty of names being touted around at the moment, but no firm signs yet as to who will be the replacement to claudio ranieri. as far as the fans are concerned tonight, they perhaps won't be worried too much about that for now. they will be focussing on getting the three points they need to get out of the relegation zone, jj. thank you, andy. britain might find it harder to host showpiece european football matches when the united kingdom leaves the european union that's according to the uefa president, alexsander seferin. he says if brexit goes ahead, then they may need to look elsewhere when it comes to finding venues for games like the

champions league final. cricket and durham's new chairman sir ian botham has backed the team to bounce straight back to division one this summer. the club were relegated last year as a result of financial problems and start the new season in the second division with minus 48 points. there is two—ways to look at it. you can sit here and whinge or i can say, that's two wins. the team are more than good enough to get those two early wins and then in division two, they will be in my opinion probably the best side by a distance playing this that division and it is down to the players and with a bit of luck with the weather. as, look, we could be playing minor counties. we're not. we're playing, still playing in first class cricket and we have a club and i think a club that will prosper. that's all sport for now. john watson will have more in the next hour. jj thank you very much for now. moonlight has won best picture at the oscars,

but only after an error saw la la land initially declared the winner. the la la land producers were in the middle of their acceptance speeches when the mistake was discovered. price waterhouse cooper — the accounting firm responsible for adjudicating the result released a statement explaining what happened. they said, "the presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. we are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred." earlier we spoke to the british film—maker and journalist ashley clark about some of winners but started with that oscars mix up. it isa it is a remarkable ending to a pitched battle between two films that have emerged over the course of the last few months as the real frontrunners. so you've got moonlight which is this kind of

under dog, wonderful low budget film about a young black gay man in miami, taking you through his whole life versus the bigger budget film, la la land. it was unsure who was going to win until the last moment and that was a twist ending. even at the very last minute it was very unsure as well. yes, you couldn't write that. how can it possibly happen? surely there is someone standing there with this is the one for best picture and this is the one for best picture and this is the one for best picture and this is the one for best actor. how does it work? emma stone's name was in the envelope. maybe in the heat of the moment you forget the tiniest detail. how terrible for the person who did it, but to be the climatic moment of that evening. we over prepare all the time in here! always. are you happy that moonlight won? it is a great film, but in a different way. like all the oscars, how do you compare one movie with

another anyway? the films are chalk and cheese. the oscars funnel together a small collection of films and it's hard to kind of argue that the best films of the whole year from all over the world are fairly represented, but on balance, i think moonlight does something that i have not seen before in a film and ultimately if, you know, the best thing the oscars can do is shine a spotlight on under appreciated film—makers and i hope the win of moonlight empowers other film—makers to make a more interesting and challenging material. the thing that struck me is all the headlines are about the mistake, not about the film. do you think moonlight lost its moment of glery because of this? moment in the moonlight. its moment of glery because of this? moment in the moonlightm its moment of glery because of this? moment in the moonlight. it is a shame we're talking more about the mix—up rather than the film. but i think over time, that will subside and people will come to look at this film as a text in terms of issues of representation and black identity on screen. representation and black identity on screen. i think it is a wonderful

sensitive piece of work and i think its place in the cultural conversation will outlast this mistake. you say it was low budget. it cost $1 million? it took eight yea rs it cost $1 million? it took eight years for the film—maker barry jenkins, the entirety of barack obama's term to make his follow—up which was released in 2008 and that cost like 15 grand. la la land, they struggled to get that made and that wasn't that high a budget as compared to some hollywood blockbusters? it wasn't a blockbuster, it is a very nostalgic film about hollywood. so it is not a advise that people in the industry really fell for it. let's look at foreign films. how significant do you think is the win for the salesman? i think the director deliberately brought in two people who work in space travel to deliver

his speech for him which sends a global message, a universal message and again! global message, a universal message and again i hope it amplifies his work and shines more of a spotlight. these are uncome partible issues. we're talking about trump's travel ban to maybe look away from and say it doesn't affect me. on a stage as big as this, for a message like that to be broadcast will have some impact. there has been talk about a lack of diversity and especially at the oscars, this year was different, wasn't it? there is a change from last year. the oscars so white campaign roared back with a vengeance. campaign roared back with a vengeance. i would like to talk about the president of the academy. she instituted concrete changes within the academy in terms of the membership rules. so behind the scenes, is where the changes have happened, i think. scenes, is where the changes have happened, ithink. on scenes, is where the changes have happened, i think. on screen representation is one thing. so the voters have changed effectively? the make—up of the voters has changed to be more representative and more

diverse which is important. a final thought, how was the night for british film? pretty quiet. you had dev patel. it comes and goes for britain in the states. we're having success with actors over there and every few years a knightly or ken loach might get some respect for a judi dench. a prison officer has been charged with gross negligence manslaughter and misconduct over an inmate's death at woodhill prison in milton keynes in 2015. with me is our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford. tell us more and how unusual is this? this is the first time that a prison officer in england and wales has been charged with manslaughter in relation with the death of an inmate who was in their care. joseph travis will be charged. it hasn't formerly

happened, but the crown prosecution service advised thames valley police he should be charged in relation to the death of ryan harvey, a 23—year—old found hanged on 8th may 2015, one of five prisoners to have been found hanged in that one prison, woodhill prison alone in the year 2015, it is the prison with the worst record in england and wales for people being found hanged in their cells and other possible suicides. yeah, joseph travers will be charged with gross negligence and manslaughter and misconduct in public office and he will appear before magistrates on 20th april. clearly, a very interesting case. daniel, thank you very much indeed. average car insurance premiums could increase by up to £75 a year as a result of a government ruling,

industry experts have said. a new formula for calculating compensation payments, for those who suffer long—term injuries, has been announced by the ministry ofjustice. earlier i spoke to huw evans, the director general of the association of british insurers, about the new rule on compensation payments and the effect on insurance payments. this formula is designed for people who have a major life changing injury. those people quite properly need come sensation for the loss of earnings that they will have over the rest of their life and to help with their care costs and there is a formula that's been in place since 2001 to help calculate the right amount for them to get. what happened today is that thejustice secretary, liz truss has announced she is changing the formula in a way that's going to drive up a huge level of costs for the industry and therefore, put premiums up. she says she has got no choice. "i am clear this is the only legally acceptable rate that i can set." i'm surprised she said thatment her own department four years ago consulted on ways in which it could do things differently. that's the opposite to

what her department were saying four yea rs what her department were saying four years ago. we have been engaged in discussion for many years about a better way to set the rate, that's fairto claimants, better way to set the rate, that's fair to claimants, but also ensures that everyone else, motorists and businesses don't pay for an artificially high amount. that's paid out to people in this position. in a moment a look at how the financial markets in europe closed the day, but first the headlines on bbc news: a major inquiry into historical child abuse begins hearing evidence from those sent to australia under a government—backed migration scheme. an apology is issued after the wrong film was awarded best picture at the oscars, following an envelope mix—up — moonlight eventually walked off with the award. the health secretary defends the government's decision not to publicise an error with nhs patient records when it was first discovered in march last year. hello. now a look at how the markets in europe have ended the trading session.

the ftse is in the green at the moment. the pound is on track for its steepest one—day fall in three weeks as concerns about brexit return to the markets. us stocks opened in the red this afternoon as technology stocks weighed down on the market. investors were also eyeing president trump's address to a joint session of congress which takes place later today. they'll be for clues on his proposed tax reform and plans to overhaul the affordable healthcare act. insurers were among the biggest fallers today. that's because of a shake—up on premiums announced by the government. a new formula is being introduced for calculating compensation payments for those who suffer long—term injuries. experts say that the increase could cost around £75 extra per person a year. the association of british insurers called the decision "crazy". persimmon report a 23%jump in

annual profits. the company sold more than 15,000 homes last year. that's 600 more than in 2015. 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. they have been talking about a mergerfor they have been talking about a merger for years, they have been talking about a mergerfor years, last they have been talking about a mergerforyears, last spring they have been talking about a merger for years, last spring the london stock exchange announced it would join forces. london stock exchange announced it wouldjoinforces. merger london stock exchange announced it would join forces. merger is likely to collapse. it is after the lse said the deal was unlikely to be approved by the european commission. let's get detailed analysis of this with laith khalaf, from hargreaves la nsdown. insurance was amongst the biggest fallers today. how is the shake—up going to affect them? well, the big change will be in terms of the compensation they have to pay on personal injury claims. this is

about a fairly technical ruling, but has wide ranging effects. it is the discount rate that's been used to value those compensation claims. and the department ofjustice is saying that has to be priced off indexed linked quilts. anyone who knows anything about the guilt market, it is heavily manipulated because the bank of england is engaged in its quantitative easing programme. you have got pension funds buying up lots of index—linked quilts and it depressed the yield on them, but that's the yield the department of justice says that insurers need to use to calculate those compensation claims and that has the impact of increasing them. so in the short—term, that means probably a hit to the profitability of some of those insurers. in the longer term, it means higher insurance premiums. let's move on to persimmon. they've done quite well. increasing profits, 23%jump. done quite well. increasing profits, 23% jump. what do you think going forward is going to happen house

builders. they have been up and down since the referendum injune? builders. they have been up and down since the referendum in june? that's right. persimmon's results are looking good. a 23%jump in profits. selling prices are up. and even into 2017, so far, they're saying that visitors to their sites are up and they are seeing positive momentum in prices as well. they have been helped along by low interest rates and also the help to buy scheme that the government initiated and looking forward , the government initiated and looking forward, we're expecting those trends to continue. after the eu referendum we saw a big dive in the share price of persimmon and other house builders as there were fears over the uk economy. but since then, that brexit dent has really been repaired and now share prices are back up to where they were before june and that's because of the performance of the house builders and the economic resilience that we have seen since brexit. lse seem to think the bets are off

because the european commission, what do you think? yes, it looks like it will be third time unlucky because these two tried to merge in the past in 2005. this is over a bond trading platform that lse owns which is regulated in italy. lse saying today that even if wanted to, it doesn't think it could sell off that asset which european regulators wa nt that asset which european regulators want it to, saying it could damage its relawingses with other regulators particularly the italian regulator. it looks like it's all off for now. thank you. the ftse 100 off for now. thank you. the ftse100 in off for now. thank you. the ftse 100 in the green. directline down after that shake—up was announced on premiums by the government. well, that's it from me. schools are facing their first real—terms cuts to funding

since the mid nineties according to research out today. the institute for fiscal studies has examined education spending across the board from early years to university. the national association of head teachers and the national association of governors have written an open letter to the chancellor, asking him to make schools a priority in the budget. our education correspondent gillian hargreaves reports. tunbridge high school in west sussex is struggling to make ends meet. according to the head, class sizes might have to get bigger and teachers may not be replaced when they leave. across england, heads are warning that rising costs mean there is less money to go around. now, in an open letter to the chancellor of the exchequer, heads and school governors say they need more cash. in the letter, they say governing bodies and school leaders are being forced to make impossible choices as a result of insufficient funding. it's a claim that doesn't surprise parents. we are facing an unsustainable funding situation in our schools,

and the government is not listening. we felt that as parents we had to now enter the debate to make the parent voice heard because nobody voted for these cuts and nobody wants to see school funding cut. there has been significant investment in england's schools in the past 20 years, but teachers say running costs are going up, as are pension contributions and national insurance. and they say balancing the books is becoming increasingly difficult. so while there will be cuts, that's after years of education being a priority. the cut to school spending per pupil over the next few years will be about 6.5%. that will reverse about 20% of the growth in school spending per pupil that happened over the 2000s. so it's clearly a large cut, but it will still leave the big increase that happened over the 2000s there. the government points out it's spending £40 billion on schools in england this year, the highest cash figure ever.

i don't think the next budget will be particularly good news if we're asking for a big increase in the tollal budget. with that budget only ten days away, schools will be competing against other public services to try and convince the chancellor to give them more money. environmental campaigners say household recycling levels are too low in england because council schemes are too confusing. keep britain tidy says at least 300 systems are in use and government figures show one council's recycling rate is just 15%. dianne oxberry reports. keep britain tidy says there are over 300 systems for collecting household waste and says people are confused as to what they can and can't recycle.

the pressure group wants the government to impose a blueprint for recycling, to make the situation simpler for householders. it's very difficult to actually have a national conversation about what we should recycle and what should be recycled, when everybody is doing something different. every local authority in the uk has been given the target of recycling 50% of its waste by 2020 to meet eu guidelines. but the figures obtained by bbc inside out north—west reveals some councils are recycling as little as 15% of their waste. london boroughs are among the worst offenders with none of the councils in the capital currently hitting the 50% mark that they'll have to reach within the next few years. keep britain tidy believes we can learn from wales which has a 60% recycling rate. the devolved government has set ambitious targets and every household has food waste collected. that's incredibly important as we waste seven million tonnes of food in the uk every year. that's about it from us. the news at

5pm is coming up with huw. first the weather. hi there, ben. it is hard to keep up with the weather. there is so much variety going on. we have had rain. we have had shine. we have had hail. we've had rainbows thrown in for good measures and the weather watchers have been doing us proud. it has been miserable at times. this is the scene from the scottish borders. for some of us, it has been beautifully sunny. it is hardly surprising the weather is so varied with this mottled looking satellite picture. clumps of cloud producing the showers and gaps in between. bear with us over the next 2a hours or so at least. there will be some showers overnight. wintry showers moving west to east. the odd one making it to western areas. ice will

bea making it to western areas. ice will be a hazard overnight and some freezing fog thrown in for good measure. temperatures close to freezing in some rural spots particularly where you've got snow cover. it could be a slippery start. an area of rain pushing through northern ireland early on in the morning. this is sam. that will be heading south—east wards. ahead of that, a sparkling start. don't rule out a shower. most of the showers will be further west as we go through the morning and they will start to fall as snow as they hit the high ground of snowdonia. enjoy the high ground of snowdonia. enjoy the sunshine while it lasts because for most of us it probably won't last all day long. this area of rain and hill snow will push its way west to east across england and wales. it won't last forever. sunshine ahead. sunshine behind. but the most reliable sunshine all day across central and northern parts of scotland. nowhere will it be warm though. temperatures held in single figures and when the showers come along, as we know the temperatures fall away by several degrees. this

little chap clears away. that does mean tomorrow night, under clearing skies it will be a cold one again with a hard frost in a few places. this feature comes in from the south—west. the question mark about how quickly that extends into other southern counties, but there will be rain. the best of the brightness further north across the uk on wednesday, but we keep the variety going through the rest of this week with a fast moving jet stream that's propelling the areas of blue, these blobs of heavy rain in our direction. it will keep in the jet strea m direction. it will keep in the jet stream and will determine how far north rain extends later on in the week with the risk again of snow. so to sum—up through the rest of this week, chopping and changing from day—to—day. some rain, some shine, and again that ongoing risk of snowy specially across northern parts of the uk. i hope that's enough for you. i will have more detail in half an hour's time. today at 5pm — after a long delay, the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse finally starts hearing evidence in public. the inquiry has started by hearing

evidence from those children sent to australia under a government—backed migration scheme after the second world war. you will hear that these younger children were the least protected, the most vulnerable and the most abused. i'm at the enquiry in central london which has had a difficult first day, after it had to issue an apology following a data breach. we'll have the latest from the inquiry in a moment. the other main stories on bbc news at 5pm. red faces at the oscars — what happened when the wrong film was announced as winner of best picture.
