good morning. it's sunday 5th march. also ahead: the chancellor, phillip hammond, says there'll be no spending spree in this week's budget as he prepares the economy for life outside the eu. barack obama hits back at president trump. his spokesman strongly denies claims the obama administration tapped the phones in trump tower. remembering those who died on d—day. a memorial is to be built in honour of the thousands of british soldiers and sailors killed on the normandy beaches. in sport, in the all—british heavyweight clash. underdog tony bellew beats an injured david haye with an 11th round stoppage in london. and sarah keith lucas has the weather. it's a windy day to come, with spells of rain at times, but an improving picture in scotland and northern ireland. a full forecast in about 15 minutes. there's growing pressure this morning on the prime minister

to safeguard the rights of more than three million eu citizens living and working in the uk. at the moment there's no guarantee they'll be allowed to stay after brexit. but a cross—party committee of mps has called on theresa may to clarify their position, rather than waiting for the european union to decide what will happen to british people living on the continent. among the group are ten conservatives, including the prominent leave campaigner michael gove. let's speak to our political correspondent, susana mendonca. it is interesting because given all of the debate we've heard about triggering article 50 this is one thing that they can't agree on. indeed. it is difficult. the report here uses pretty robust language and it basically says to the government that it it basically says to the government thatitis it basically says to the government that it is unconscionable that people who have lived here and worked here, european citizens, should have a period of two years while they don't know what will happen. they say those people

shouldn't be used as bargaining chips. this is an argument with her time and again. this report combines people from all different parties, including brexiteers, people voted to leave the eu, saying those eu citizens who already live and work it should be given guarantee. the government has been under increasing pressure in this issue, not least from the house of lords. the amendment last week called on the same thing. it might be defeated again in the commons, at that continued pressure on the government to continue the rights of eu citizens. it also says european countries should guarantee rights of brits living abroad and there are about a million of those. they say those people should know whether they will have access to healthcare and if their pensions will be paid. the government's point of view is until they get a reciprocal deal for uk citizens abroad they don't want to make any promises about eu citizens living here. hilary benn,

the chairman office committee for exiting the eu, says that's not good enough. —— of the committee. the referendum has reached its decision. it's now about how we do the best by people and get the best for britain out of this process. the fact that all members have agreed on this report, saying with one voice to the government that the right thing to do now is say to the eu citizens who are here, "yes, you can stay. "we will guarantee that so you don't have to worry any more." i think that is significant and i hope very much the government will reflect on that and agree to take that step. that's the debate about people. we will hear about the budget on wednesday. he already says isn't a lot of cash to splash around. he's basically attacking those who say he should go, —— say he should go on a reckless spending spree. he is quite a —— under quite a lot of pressure, not least because of whether the nhs

has enough funding, and social care. certainly there's a crisis in terms of the funding there and business rates. a lot of small businesses are likely to be hit, the calls for him to put more into that. what i as suppose the chancellor is just setting the scene, that he won't be spending a lot of money when he announces the budget on wednesday. thanks very much. after 8am, we'll be speaking to the labour mp hilary benn, who chairs the committee for exiting the eu. barack obama has denied accusations by president trump that he ordered the tapping of phones at trump tower in news york during last year's us election. in a series of messages on social media, president trump compared the alleged bugging to the watergate scandal, as our north america correspondent nick byrant reports. it was warm handshakes and friendly messages on inauguration day as donald trump peacefully took power from barack obama.

two men fiercely hostile during the election campaign coming together in a show of presidential and personal stability. —— civility. but only this morning, donald trump launched the kind of public an attack on a predecessor that in modern times is completely without precedent. "terrible", he wrote, in a twitter tirade: a pro trump rally outside his tower in new york, a skyscraper that donald trump claims was a crime scene. but he made these explosive accusations without offering any proof or saying whether they came from intelligence briefings orfrom reading reports on a right—wing website. a key former aide of barack obama has shot back at mr trump. "no president can order

a wiretap", he says. "these restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you." during last year's campaign, the fbi opened an investigation that's still ongoing, looking into leaks between trump associated and the russians. this week the new attorney general jeff sessions faced calls for his resignation for not disclosing meetings he held with the russian ambassador. and donald trump's national security adviser michael flynn had to resign last month because of conversations about us sanctions against the kremlin with the same ambassador. donald trump began this week with a widely praised speech on capitol hill, which was supposed to reset his presidency, but this is a speedy return to the kind of angry attacks that many think are farfrom presidential. china's annual parliamentary session has opened in beijing, with the communist party leadership setting out its priorities for the coming year.

high on the agenda is the state of the chinese economy. let's get the details from our china editor, carrie gracie, whojoins us from beijing. remind us what this meeting is and why we should be interested. well, it's not exactly westminster, that's the first thing to say. that's the congress building behind me and the red flags are a reason. it's not just the colour of china, it is the colour of the communist party. the whole thing involves 3000 hand—picked delegates. they file in and dutifully sit there, paging the 42 pages of the premier's state of the nation speech rest as his reasoning —— reading it. very important to not look like you are bored or asleep. that's a career ending moment if you do that. they read it carefully and applaud on cue and at the end of the session in ten

days they approve it overwhelmingly. so the whole thing is very carefully choreographed, right down to the sky colour. i hope you can see it isn't a bad day. we've got some blue sky. that's because all of the factories in the surrounding area have been switched off. they've been suspended so we can switched off. they've been suspended so we can get blue skies for china's annual session of parliament. huge security as well. we just walked around the whole of tiananmen square fori.5 hours around the whole of tiananmen square for 1.5 hours before we could find this spot, the height of the hall of the people, to speak to you. —— behind. into the content. i thought the interesting things were saying that they will turn the sky is blue, that's one promise. so a lot of commitments to cleaning up the air. also references to donald trump in terms of talking about an increasingly grave and challenging international situation with growing protectionism. and a lot of praising

references to the leader of the chinese communist party and the communist party itself as a strong centre of china. absolutely fascinating how it all works over there. thanks very much for bringing us there. thanks very much for bringing us up to date. the service will be held in belgium, to honour the thousands of british soldiers and sailors who died during the operation in 1994. earlier, we we re the operation in 1994. earlier, we were told lessons had been learned. it has obviously had an impact on the way ships are designed and the security features they have, but it has also led to the establishment of the marine and accident investigation bureau, which came two yea rs investigation bureau, which came two years later. so apart from ship

safety improving, procedural safety has improved and the way that safety standards are set is actually far more rigourous standards are set is actually far more i’igoui’ous now. last night saw an unpredictable contest that saw an upsetting british boxing history. john, you stayed up last night to watch this. talk us through. it was a thrilling match, wasn't it? what was i thinking, staying up late? when the alarm went off at 3am, i thought, why didi alarm went off at 3am, i thought, why did i do that? but it was a terrific fight. we thought it was going to be a mismatch because tony bellew was stepping up the heavyweight and we thought david hayward nokia now. but david haye found himself on the campus. —— knock him out. david haye won maybe the first couple of rounds. but then it turned out david haye popped his achilles. he stumbled, that is a p pa re ntly achilles. he stumbled, that is apparently very painful. he

literally fought on one leg for the rest of the fight. he could only really throw a left hand, because he could only push off on the right leg, so a very strange fight. could only push off on the right leg, so a very strange fightm does show you what an incredible athlete david haye is, that he can withstand tony bellew, who is a brilliant fighter himself, world champion, at cruiserweight, for that long on one leg! 0nly being able to punch with his left hand! it was brutal. he did five rounds on one leg, not really being able to throw a punch. he got knocked into the ropes at the end and tried to climb his way back through to carry on, at his way back through to carry on, at his corner said no, that was enough. they threw the towel in. all of the trash talk in the buildup was horrendous, but afterwards they were all smiles, hugging each other, giving each other compliments in the interview afterwards. so it is set up interview afterwards. so it is set upfora bit interview afterwards. so it is set up for a bit of a rematch. also, we call it pantomime, the trash talk beforehand, but when they are in the

ring it is realfighting. beforehand, but when they are in the ring it is real fighting. the buildup was a bit like wrestling! wrestling it is not! thank you. england is one of the worst places in europe to train in vocations such as engineering or hairdressing, according to the institute for fiscal studies. but the chancellor philip hammond is looking to address that in this week's budget. he'll promise to make available £500 million of additional funding for the technical training of 16 to 19 year olds. david hughes from the association of colleges joins us now. good morning. more money for training. iam good morning. more money for training. i am sure on the face of it many businesses will say, at last! but is it money well spent? it many businesses will say, at last! but is it money well spent7m will be really important money. what we know is young people get a raw deal in this country at the moment. they get about 600 hours of tuition. in places like denmark and norway it

is 1000. so the quality of education is 1000. so the quality of education is not good enough. we also know that too many of them don't have work experience. they don't get that understanding of what work is about. what these reforms is about is making sure they get more tuition, oi’ making sure they get more tuition, ortraining, making sure they get more tuition, or training, more education than technical information. how do they decide whether training will come in close that it is so hard to spot the trend is of knowing what will be the big jobs in five or ten years from now and making sure people are training now for thejobs now and making sure people are training now for the jobs that will be available. i think we've made a mistake for the past 20— 30 years because we have tried to train people for a job and jobs change. what we've got to do is provide a broader education, so that people are more adaptable and they can change and learn more throughout their careers. they will be working for 50 plus years. who knows what will happen in 50 years in terms of work? budwood head dressing still be hairdressing? the causes are childcare and education,

construction, creative design, things like that. —— the courses. 0bviously things like that. —— the courses. obviously there will be developments in those fields, at this are vocational courses doing a job that produces a product. but it is also helping people go beyond that. lots of young people don't like academic learning. but when they start to learning. but when they start to learn about engineering or construction, or a digital skills, they want to go on and then they go on to degree level learning later. so we have to provide a better education base so they can do that. we don'tjust train them to do the job that lasts for 5— ten years, it's a career. how important is the link between business, the employee is, and the colleges or training provided? a lot of businesses they area provided? a lot of businesses they are a not getting what i need because they aren't being taught the things i want them for. are we getting better at that relationship, that the business is involved? some

businesses are involved but about one third give experience to young people, but two thirds say young people, but two thirds say young people need more work experience. heart of this reform is about that. trying to get three months of work placement, notjust trying to get three months of work placement, not just making trying to get three months of work placement, notjust making the coffee, but going in and doing the job and understanding what work is really like. because the saturday job has disappeared. young people can't get saturdayjob is to learn about work and the behaviours you need. we need in poor years to set up. it isn't just need. we need in poor years to set up. it isn'tjust about money. —— employee is. do you welcome the £500 million? colleges have been starved of money. it is good news but it is not enough. adults need retraining. these reforms will not help people coming into the market for floral five years. eu skilled migration

will drop so we will need more adults. we will be pushy but we want to fill the feel is gaps with trained adults. let's take a look at what the weather is doing. it was damp wheni what the weather is doing. it was damp when i came in, was at the same everywhere? it was mixed. this was taken just over a half—hour. we have had some brilliant pictures sent him off the sareen sunrise. brilliant pictures sent him off the sa reen sunrise. aci’oss brilliant pictures sent him off the sareen sunrise. across england and wales, quite a lot of wet weather through the day and brisk winds. further north, across scotland, and improving sort of day. nine o'clock,

some showers and northern ireland also seen the wet weather, particularly towards the south. northern england, largely dry. the down towards the south—east, heavy rain. the south—west will see the return of sunshine but the winds will be a feature of the weather. gales around coasts and hills. we towards the south—west, wet weather across much of wales, the midlands, away from that and improving picture. for our premier league football, it could be a bit of rainfall white hart lane but predominantly dry for the other match. the rain in the east easing, a dry spell. things turning chilly, some missed and perhaps a touch of fog in rural parts of northern

england and northern ireland. rain through the south—west of england. it looks like it will clear away fairly quickly. for the rest of the country, a bit of dry weather but scattered showers almost anywhere. as we head into tuesday, a dry start but it does not last long. further wet weather from the west during tuesday into wednesday. not a com plete tuesday into wednesday. not a complete washout and temperatures on the rise. highs of around 14 by the time we get to wednesday. it looks like one of those days where you do not know what is going to happen with the weather. thousands of britons who died during the d—day landings will be remembered with a new monument. it'll be built at the site of some of the fiercest fighting in normandy in 1944.

the memorial will be unveiled on the 75th anniversary of d—day in 2019. let's speak to veteran, george batts, who's in maidstone, in kent, for us this morning. good morning and welcome to the programme. can you talk us through what this means for you. as a vetera n, what this means for you. as a veteran, you what this means for you. as a veteran, you were what this means for you. as a veteran, you were there and now a memorial to recognise those who lost their lives. it means everything, really. all of us who came back and lived their lives but friend and colleague were left behind and had nothing. it is nearly 75 years since the end of the campaign and nothing has ever been done but now we will have a wonderful memorial in normandy for these and so i feel that... we veterans feel it is justified and we can honour them together with their relations,

children, grandchildren, great—grandchildren, schools, historians. everybody will be able to visit. you were just 18, can you share some of your memories of that day? everything about that day has been recorded. the main thing we are interested now is the remembrance by the memorial and if you do not mind, i would like to concentrate on that. you were instrumental in making this happen. how did the process began? you rates to a lot of people? —— wrote. i pontificated with a few people but was ignored. a few months ago i wrote to david cameron he

replied supporting it and the then chancellor supported it and fortu nately, chancellor supported it and fortunately, when theresa may came along with philip hammond, they supported it with the result that we received £20 million for the fund to be able to build it. all the information will be coming out again because we will have a website which is normandy memorial trust dot orbit. everything will go on there. we will also be doing the usual thing of fundraising and getting an extra few buildings. we have an information centre and that. extra few buildings. we have an information centre and thatm extra few buildings. we have an information centre and that. it is interesting because the americans already have a memorial, the

canadians but so far nothing that recalls all of the names and all the names will be in this memorial. what is it that we need to remember through this memorial? the hardships and everything and things that everybody went through on that day and on the three british beaches, on each beach there was roughly 1200 on each beach there was roughly 1200 on each beach there was roughly 1200 on each beach were killed and god knows how many wounded and seriously seek any imagine the site on those beaches. i did not like taking about it because it is not fair to their memories. you know people get killed in wars but how do not think we

should go into in detail. it was horrific and frightening but at the same time all we young lads of 18, we virtually grew up overnight and, you know, it did set us for our lives and the thousands that were involved in that is incredible. but, you know, thank goodness, at last, there will be an incredible memorial for them. in one or two places along the beach. anybody will be able to go there. it is a wonderful tribute... george, iam go there. it is a wonderful tribute... george, i am sorry to interrupt. it is ok. please, carry on. we cannot thank the past prime minister and this prime minister,

the treasury. the staff at the treasury have worked so hard for us that you hear criticism but there are... there is no criticism from the people here involved with it. i cannot wait for it to be built and, as you know, it will be unveiled on june six, 2019, the 76 anniversary and we are hoping that many of the old boys, vets, will still be alive to go there. in the normandy vetera ns to go there. in the normandy veterans association at one time we had 15,000 members, now we're down to than 500 and we are losing them regularly, obviously because of age.

but some of us will still be there, paying tribute to everybody in the navy, army, airforce, merchant navy and various other people that we will be tracing to go on the memorial. in addition to that, the d—day museum at portsmouth will have the computerised staff because, you know, every great in normandy has got the name of the person who has been killed and with the computerisation they will be able to press the button and find out exactly where their relatives or friend or whatever is buried. such an important tribute and it is wonderful that it has got the go—ahead. unveiled on the 75th anniversary. thank you for sparing

the time. thank you. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's 7:26 now for a look at the newspapers. edwina currie is here to tell us what's caught their eye. a quick dasha of the front pages. the secret summit. the ex— pm attending secret meetings at the white house to discuss working for donald trump but tony blair's people saying that is not the case. on the telegraph, donald trump accuses barack obama of a new watergate plot which has come out in a series of tweets, as always. it is a pretty bold claim. the big orange, am i allowed to say this? he is

completely bonkers. when i'm on twitter late at night by a husband asks me when i am doing and i telling i getting the news from america. trump tower was being wired and this was obama that was behind it but a few minutes later he has tweeted about the american version of the apprentice. it is possible that trump tower was under some kind of surveillance. i would be quite sure that barak obama did not do it. he would be interested? they have denied it. strongly denied it. shall we look at your second story, the vicar ‘s daughter more of a gambler then she realises. it is an opinion piece. in the observer. what he is saying is when theresa may decided

we will not call a snap general election because it is a big gamble because she would win big—time with labour ina because she would win big—time with labour in a mess... so how is it a gamble? in northern ireland, that is the gamble. anything can happen and the gamble. anything can happen and the vickers daughters think comes out. theresa may's style is we have a job to do and we need to get on with it. she needs to sort out the house of lords, get the legislation to trigger the which is why the country voted for nine months ago. that is a job, she will get on with it and then she will come to the electorate in 2020... it and then she will come to the electorate in 2020. .. which is a long way away... it is. then she will say, have you done a good job or not and then we will win a big

majority. we are tight for time this morning but we will speak to you later on. thank you so much for now. andrew, what is your story tonight? with the budget coming up, i have the chance are talking about many of those issues, bee training, posterity. we have the shadow chancellor. —— brexit. we have the leader of ukip who went walkabout after that disastrous election. a busy programme and allison crowe singing is out. we will be on the news channel until nine this morning but this is where we say goodbye to

viewers on hello. this is breakfast, with ben thompson and katherine downes. coming up before 8am, sarah will be here with a roundup of the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. the prime minister is facing growing pressure to safeguard the rights of more than three million eu citizens living and working in the uk. a cross—party committee of mps has called on theresa may to clarify now whether they'll be allowed to stay after brexit, rather than first waiting for the eu to decide what will happen to british people living on the continent. the referendum has reached its decision. it is now about how we do the best by people and get the best thing for britain in these negotiations. the fact that all members of the committee have agreed this report, saying with one voice to the government, look, the right in the do now is say to the european citizens who are here that you can stay. we will guarantee that, so you don't have to worry any more. that

is significant and i hope very much that the government will reflect on that the government will reflect on that and agree to take that step. the chancellor has described as "reckless" calls for him to increase spending in his first budget on wednesday. writing in the sunday times, philip hammond said the economy had proven to be robust, but there was still a need for discipline as the country prepares for brexit. as part of this week's budget, the chancellor will also announce plans for £500 million in additionalfunding for the technical training for sixteen—to—nineteen—year—olds. the money will be used to replace thousands of qualifications with training tailored to the needs of different industries, such as engineering and manufacturing. these reforms won't help young people coming into the market for for five years and in the meantime we exit the eu, skills gaps will widen, skilled migration will drop. so we have to help more adults and there is no funding for that. it

will be pushing the chancellor. it is great news but it isn't enough. barack obama has strongly denied accusations by president trump that he ordered phones at trump tower in new york to be tapped during last year's us election. in a series of messages on social media, donald trump compared the alleged bugging to the watergate scandal and described obama as a "sick man". a memorial is to be built close to the beaches of the d—day landings in northern france to honour the thousands of british soldiers and sailors who died during the operation in 1944. the government has donated £21 million towards the cost of the monument. it will be unveiled on the 75th anniversary of d—day, in 2019. a fitting tribute. another big story we've been talking about, that fight between david haye and tony bellew. john stayed up to watch it. what a fighter worth watching! it was worth staying up for. many people tuning in this morning will

be surprised to see tony bellew with his arms aloft! he was the underdog, wasn't he? yes, david haye very much expected to win. many thought haye versus bellew would be a miss—match, tony bellew upset all the odds to win in a classic at the o2 arena last night. david haye was the firm favourite coming into it, but he injured his ankle in the sixth round and could only really throw a left. his corner threw in the towel in the 11th round, when bellew punched haye through the ropes. after the fight, the pair embraced and they were all smiles. the champion set up nicely in the rematch, that grudge match, now. i've just done what wladimir klitschko couldn't do. i've just done what the biggest heavyweight that's ever lived, heavyweight champion that's ever lived, in nikolai valuev, couldn't do. tonight i claimed my glory. he was hurt, he was genuinely hurt. he was in a bad way. so i carried him and his weight... believe you me, i carried him. his weight was on me. he's a heavy man! i felt the weight of that 16 stone as i carried him. so, you know, he's had to break me, but it's all water under the bridge.

we shook hands. i'm happy i've come through tonight, i'm happy we both go home safe and i'm happy i've come to this arena again. you know what, tonight i've taken the glory like i said i would. england's women snatched a dramatic victory over the world champions usa in their second match of the she believes cup in newjersey. the only goal of the game came in the 89th minute from substitute ellen white to keep alive the lionesses hopes in the tournament. liverpool have moved up to third in the premier league after beating arsenal at anfield. goals weren't the main talking points though yesterday, as nick parrot explains. the futures of arsene wenger and alexis sanchez at arsenal remain uncertain and won't have been helped by the manager leaving out his star player against liverpool. he claimed it was a tactical decision, but it soon backfired. here's mane. back across the goal!

fermino, with eight minutes gone! sadio mane made it 2—0 before half—time, prompting wenger to call on the premier league's most potent striker. here's sanchez. lovely ball. 0ut comes the keeper! the impact of sanchez almost immediate! the change in approach was too little too late. and georginio wijnaldum rubbed salt in the wounds in injury time. i'm strong enough and lucid enough to analyse the impact and i don't deny that alexis sanchez is a great player. i bought him and i always played him and i think he developed well with us, but a decision like that is not easy to make, but you have to stand up for it. goals weren't the talking point at old trafford either, as manchester united failed to beat bournemouth in a bruising encounter. for the record, marcus rojo gave united the lead midway through the first half. josh king equalised after philjames brought down marc pugh. but the match will be remembered for altercations at the end of the first half that went unpunished.

that was a challenge from mings on rooney and you can see that the boot catches ibrahimovic‘s head and he knew who it was and thrust his elbow back into the face of mings. he has to go, but he hasn't. yeah, he jumped into my elbow. many times in these occasions happen and i hope he didn't get injured. everything is highlighted more than others, but i enjoyed it. it was a good battle all day. obviously you know what you will come up against. leicester city secured consecutive league wins for the first time this season after coming from behind to beat fellow strugglers hull city 3—1. riyad mahrez scored his first league goal since november, boosting craig shakespeare's hopes of getting the manager's job after the club sacked claudio ranieri. it could turn out to be that all‘s well that ends well at the king power stadium. an extraordinary day in the premier

league. the other results in the premier league saw middlesbrough drop into the relegation zone after losing at stoke. a late goal gave swansea an important win over burnley. a high scoring game at watford ended 4—3 to southampton and crystal palace won their first game since january at west brom. rangers are through to the semi—finals of the scottish cup. they beat hamilton academical 6—0. in yesterday's other cup quarter final, hibs beat ayr 3—1 and, in the premiership, kilmarnock lost at home to motherwell 2—1. there was success for great britain's athletes at the european indoor championships in belgrade. laura muir continued her fantastic season, taking gold in the 1500 metres in a new british record. team—mate sarah mcdonald finished sixth. 0h, fantastic. i mean, i'm just so happy! it feels like a long time coming to win a medal and i'm so happy. to take the british record, was that the plan too? no! ijust wanted to run a quick race, but i never envisaged to do that. so, yeah, this is brilliant.

the best bit about winning a medal is obviously going past the line, having the medal and then a victory lap. but this steward will not allow her to do her lap. i was saying when i was watching this that if it was mei i was watching this that if it was me i pretty sure she would be able to outrun that steward. so just take a look at this. it is a beautiful drop off the shoulder on this steward who is just doing her drop off the shoulder on this steward who isjust doing herjob. watch this. that's brilliant! why would she not be allowed to do on? i have no idea. it is the best bit! off i have no idea. it is the best bit! off she goes, she grabs of flag. brilliant. the success continued in the men's 60 metres sprint. richard kilty defended his title.

fellow briton theo etienne, making his senior debut, finished in fifth. 0ver over in 0ver ina over in a flash. andy murray has won the dubai tennis championship for the first time, beating fernando verdasco by two sets to love. it's murray's first title this year and extends his lead over novak djokovic at the top of the world rankings. and it's been a good 24 hours for the murray brothers, as jamie won his first doubles title of the year with partner bruno soares. they beatjohn isner and feliciano lopez 6—3, 6—3 in acapulco. rory mcilroy has finished his third round at the world golf championships event in mexico, tied for third place on the leaderboard. the northern irishman can reclaim his world number one ranking depending on what happens today. he finished his round on ten under par. that's two shots behind the leader. the american justin thomas, the americanjustin thomas, take a look at this. he is eyeing this up.

that's a big bounce! and in! straight in. slams it into the whole and that gives him the lead. i knew you would deliver. i accidentally called a ten foot part the —— not long ago. that was embarrassing. it was an unpredictable and thrilling contest with all the drama of a rocky film. in one of the greatest upsets in british boxing history, the self—proclaimed "champion of the misfits" tony bellew, beat his nemesis david haye in front of a packed crowd at the 02 last night. despite losing, the former heavyweight world champion drew praise for battling on after suffering a nasty ankle injury. the telegraph's boxing correspondent, gareth a davies, was watching and joins us now. good morning. you were watching and hosting an event in birmingham, is that right? weirdly i was watching the fight as it transpired in this

epic encounter with floyd mayweather before we went on stage to do a 0&a in front of screaming fans. what did he make of it? he thought it was amazing. 0ne he make of it? he thought it was amazing. one of the points he made was that this terrible animosity between the two men dissipated after they went through this tunnel that they went through this tunnel that they went through this tunnel that they went through, this battle. the cost of respect —— because of the respect. if it was an early knockout they probably would have gloated. not because it was such a stupendous spectacle, they will become friends afterwards. we saw that tony bellew wished david haye well and hopes he recovers. he has apparently badly ru ptu red recovers. he has apparently badly ruptured his achilles. they were winding me up earlier because i spoke about pantomime and there was all of that trash talk. but the point is that... do you grow to like each other at the end of this? you

talk about that respect and what they went through. you must have a bit of respect. definitely. you have to have respect for david haye because he fought for five rounds virtually on one leg. he stood in the quarter was looking for a punch to finish the fight. you have to respect tony bellew for stepping up against a respect tony bellew for stepping up againsta man respect tony bellew for stepping up against a man who is one stone heavier, faster and more accomplished opponent. he has been ina accomplished opponent. he has been in a rocky movie and that's what his boxing career is like at the moment. the bad thing is david haye definitely crossed the line in the buildup. you can't in boxing so that you want to hospitalise your opponent. that you want to keep his skull in. yes, animosity creates pay—per—view, which is what they wa nt to pay—per—view, which is what they want to do, but to be so malicious is bad for the sport. it is a sport andi is bad for the sport. it is a sport and i think when the boxing board of control meet in cardiff his loss

will probably be compounded by the fa ct will probably be compounded by the fact that he will probably face a hefty fine. you were strong in writing about what they said. you said it was a disgrace, you don't need it, it is unnecessary. do you think the fight has done enough to change your mind about how outraged you felt about that trash talk and that talk about threat to life and how much damage they wanted to do to each other? do you think the quality of the fighting has done something to rescue their reputations? in the short term i think it rescues the reputation of the things david haye has said, at last year was a terrible year in british boxing. 0ne boxer died and two others had serious injuries. of course nick blackwell, who was twice in an induced coma last year. it is a brutal and inherently dangerous waters, so we don't need to emphasise that. you don't try to

maliciously harm your opponent. we'll there be a rematch?” we'll there be a rematch? i think tony bellew called out the wbc champion and think that is a possibility. we do not know if david haig is busted flush. he had seven minutes in the ring in five years before this fight. he has that shoulder surgery. tony bellew does not. he can drop it down to cruiserweight and defend his cruiserweight and defend his cruiserweight title. best wishes to david hague with the achilles injury. see you later. let's check in on what the weather is doing. we have had some beautiful scenes

sentin we have had some beautiful scenes sent in all sunrise. some fairly quiet scenes to start the day for some of us but it will not last. we have this weather front working west to east across england and wales. scotla nd to east across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland, it will be an improving picture later in the day. this morning some showers and some snow on the high grounds. rain in northern ireland. england bright. but heading south, you can see the extent of the wet weather. the rain is followed by sunshine and heavy showers rolling in from the south—west. they will be blustery. 50— 60 mph gust possible here. towards the midlands and north wales, we are stuck underneath this

weather front for much of the day. in terms of some of the premier league foot will matches, at white hart lane some wet weather for the stadium of light dry for longer. the bulk of the crowd easing towards the east. clear and dry conditions for a time to stop things turning chilly overnight with a touch of frost and some misty murky patches. some rain on monday a cross paths of the south—west of england. it clears away quickly and then across the country, not a bad day on monday. spells of sunshine and a few showers around. not as windy. an unsettled theme for the rest thank you very much. now on brea kfast thank you very much. now on breakfast it is time for click. we are about to put a whole new spin

on the world of mobiles. we are at the mobile world congress in barcelona — the big show devoted to phones, tablets and all things mobile. we're a bit behind schedule, but we're going to get there. although, if we look a bit distracted, it is because we are preparing for a rather audacious experiment. it is not that we are not interested in the floating displays, connected bus stops, flash cars, smart shoes, or robot drummers. it is just that we are about to bash out something a lot more complicated.

last year, we filmed an entire programme in 360 degrees, allowing those watching in virtual reality to look around the fantastic locations simply by turning their heads or their phones in whichever direction they pleased. and that is the power of 360. you really feel like you have been teleported into the situation. not only that, but these days, we also have the ability to stream 360 live. so imagine that, the next time we send a robot to the moon, if it has a 360 camera on board, then we can all put on a pair of goggles and actually feel like we are there, too. and so that is what we are doing today, getting ready to go live in 360. not to the moon, admittedly, but to a place that is still a pretty strange landscape. so here we are in the massive mobile world congress. eight enormous halls of madness and noise, as everyone tries to launch their product with maximum pizzazz

and maximum volume. but these days this event is not just about mobiles, of course. virtual reality is everywhere. since you can use a phone as a vr headset, many companies have opted to up the excitement by strapping people in and hurling them about. yes, folks, vr can be totally immersive, if you have your own 360 chair. and i don't even want to think what kind of experience this chap is having. but going live in 360 is less about the headset and more about the kind of camera equipment you can and cannot use. you are currently watching me through a nokia 0zo, which is a professional 360 camera with a professional pricetag to boot — about 45,000 us dollars, or 40,000 euros. but it is a beautiful looking thing. it has eight lenses all around the sphere, which means not only can

you can see in all directions, but it can also shoot in 3—d because that combination of lenses allows it to process the stereoscopic view. what is really weird is it has this enormous battery pack at the back, which you think would be in shot, but actually this thing has a blind spot to about here. and what they so is theyjust get that almost—360 view and stretch it around like that. modern 360 cameras will stitch the scene together themselves in real time, automatically wrapping that weird, warped video into a sphere around your head, and that is what enables them to go live. now, if you wanted to stream the full 360 view from the 0zo, you are going to need some extract kit. two dedicated hardware boxes, and an internet upload speed of at least 30 megabits per second. and, at a trade show like this, we are not that lucky. i think we have to accept that it's early days. to get really high—quality,

ideally stereoscopic video, so you really can look around and feel a sense of depth, and feel that you're there, is going to take a while. there are bandwidth problems, and just having the equipment that can transmit and that amount of data, so that when you look, the picture gets rendered according to exactly where you're looking. it's going to take a while to get it sorted, but we're starting there. we are going to be doing two lives in 360, testing two different cameras and this is no mean feat because as with last year's 360 show, we are coming to this before the manufacturers have made bespoke equipment. so, to get good pictures, good sound, and a decent bit of interaction with the audience, we are having to hack together various bits of kit, and hope no—one trips over any of it. my microphone goes into a transmitter, which goes into a receiver, which goes into a box, which plugs into another box, and then we've got, like, a half a mile of ethernet cable,

which is going to a network access point, which is hidden in the garden. so that's good. the first 360 camera we are using is the 0rah 4i — four lenses which between them can shoot the 360 video in ultra—high—def 4k. although it is important to note that this is the resolution of the entire 360 shot. the viewer only sees a part of this as they look around the scene. at the moment, it's not showing us anything that we want. they're seeing us in london. it's a bit blurry, but we're going to get better. it was our very first attempt, so things were bumpy on the run—up and rather rough around the edges. we were supposed to go like —15 minutes ago. we're going live now. ahh. that said, it seemed to hang together, and viewers on our youtube 360 channel got to find out a bit

more about a car that's planning to go at 1,000 miles per hour. there is three engines? yes, it has a gas turbine engine from the typhoon eurofighter. right. and it has two jets, effectively. rockets? rockets, effectively. and you need three of them. yes. to get to 1,000 mph. the gas turbine is for your below 800mph manoeuvres and then the rockets fire you up, give you the kick to over a thousand. now, streaming such a high—quality picture takes a lot of data, hence we had to use a fat, wired internet connection of about 10 megabits per second. but, for our second attempt, we went commando. the ricoh theta s is the camera we used to shoot the 360 helicopter scene from last year. it is a small hand—held stick with two fish—eye lenses. its full view is only 2k, the same as a normal high—def

picture, so the part you see in virtual reality is much lower resolution but that does means it is possible to stream the video live over the mobile network, which is what we did, in style, with a drone. to give them a taste of what it is like to be so close to a drone, you might lose a limb. weird. very soon, ricoh is releasing the theta r which has a few upgrades, including more connectors, expandable storage, and it will do the stitching in the camera itself, rather than needing a computer to do all the grunt work. for now, though, we were pretty happy with our little experiment, and very soon there will almost certainly be more fully integrated kits, to let us go live in 360 with much less bother. when we went to up a glacier and to the large hadron collider to film those in 360, we used six gopros strapped together to film the entire scene.

we then had to stitch that footage together manually, using a powerful computer and software, and many, many hours. well, since then, gopro has released the 0mni, which is a case in which six gopros fit. it has one remote start for all six cameras, which is good, and it also comes with a box that does all the stitching. and in a couple of months' time, gopro says it is going to release an update which allows you to do that live. and, if you want to create your own 360 videas, this tiny camera by lifi plugs into your android phone. the videos are not live, but the stitching is quick, and you can share it easily on your social networks. right, what else is hot at this year's mwc? here's stephen beckett with a round—up. incredibly, at a convention with some of the world's biggest phone manufacturers hawking their newest and shiniest devices, this is the phone that everyone is talking about.

finnish start—up hmd global has resurrected a scintillating piece of nostalgia, with a reboot of its nokia 3310. do you remember that? hmd licensed the nokia phone brand at the end of 2016. the close to indestructible handset, with a seemingly infinite battery life, has been given a new lease of life, with modern curves, jazzy colours and, of course, a re—versioning of snake. blackberry has also gone back to basics with a new flagship phone — the key0ne. it has a physical gesture sensitive keyboard that hides a fingerprint scanner under the space bar. and that is not the only slice of nostalgia here at nwc. samsung is getting in on the action, too, with this classic norris pencil, although i would not sharpen this particular one because there is quite a lot of digital stuff in the end, to allow you to do things like this. google would much rather you talk to your devices though, rather than write to them. it has announced its personal assistant, google home, will finally be available for sale outside of the us,

and by may, in the uk. and, in another new attempt to dominate the a! market, the company also said it will roll out its voice—activated digital assistant to all android phones running marshmallow and nougat. until now, it has only been available on goggle's own pixel line of phones. that is, apart from huawai and lenovo mobiles. those are set to use amazon's alexa instead. lenovo's upcoming moto z will get its assistance smarts through a snap—on back, which they're calling a moto mod. 0thers, though, are ditching customisation. lg launched its new flagship g6 phone without the modular capability of its previous models. the company say its customers do not fancy forking out for extra parts. the lg g6 also knocks the traditional aspect ratio out of the park — the screen is 18x9 — twice as tall as wide. smartphones have traditionally been 16x9. and that's it for the short cut of click at nwc in barcelona.

the full version is available online now. and let us know what you think of our attempt at a 360—degree episode. do be kind. thank you for watching, see you soon. hello, this is breakfast, with katherine downes and ben thompson. pressure grows on theresa may to guarantee the rights of eu citizens living in the uk. a committee of mps, including several conservatives, says they shouldn't be made to live under a "cloud of uncertainty". good morning, it's sunday 5th march. also ahead: the chancellor, phillip hammond, says there'll be no spending spree in this week's budget as he prepares the economy for life outside the eu.
