welcome to bbc news. theresa may's most senior minister, damian green, has angrily denied a claim that pornography was found on a computer when police raided his westminster office nine years ago. mr green is currently being investigated for alleged inappropriate behaviour towards a female tory activist, a charge which he denies. among the other new allegations to appear in today's papers is one from a journalist who says sir michael fallon, who resigned this week as defence secretary, once tried to kiss her. our political correspondent iain watson reports. the allegation in the times that pornography was found on a computer in damian green's office dates from 2008. this was during a controversial enquiry into home office leaks which briefly led to mr green's arrest. as theresa may's second—in—command she would not want to lose him from the cabinet and he has

responded robustly to the allegation. in a statement he said that the story was completely untrue and he called it a disreputable political smear. he added that the police have never suggested to him that improper material was found on his parliamentary computer. in turn he accuses the officer in charge of the investigation of breaching his duty to keep the details of an investigation confidential. this weekend, allegations of improper behaviour in and around westminster have been filling the front pages. and even when ministers resign, that is rarely the end of the story. more allegations have emerged about the past behaviour of sir michael fallon. in the observer, journalist jane merrick said she informed downing street of an incident in 2003. friends of sir michael fallon have not denied the allegation. it is understood his

ministerial career ended because he could not guarantee there would be no further revelations. iain watson, bbc news. in the last hour, the police officer who was in charge of the investigation says he stands by his account that pornography was found on damian green's computer. bob quick said there was "no discredit or taint" after undertaking what he said had been a "very difficult inquiry with a lot of pressure to drop the case". "i bear no malice to damian green," said mr quick. "i didn't ask officers to report these matters . they didn't expect to find the material." our political correspondent susana mendonca is here. ina sense, in a sense, this is hitting back, because damian green had described him asa because damian green had described him as a discredited source for this information. but he has acknowledged that he is the source. he has, and he has told the bbc that he stands by what he said. pornography was found on a computer inside damian green's offices. we don't have

details of which computer it was, but he says he is sticking by that. it is astonishing, because you have a warof it is astonishing, because you have a war of words between a senior politician and someone who was a senior police officer. we had damian green basically saying his statement, that this story had come from a tainted and trustworthy source. we know that the sources now bob quick himself. not untrustworthy and not discredited! in bob quick‘s statement... damian green has said this is politically motivated. we know that bob quick will be giving evidence to the whitehall committee that will be looking into damian green tomorrow, so we will see what comes out of that. the press association are saying is that it was extreme pornography that was found on the computer. that is the term that was used, which is

suggests it is more disturbing than soft pawn. —— soft pornography. damian green is standing by his course of action. and bob quick is defending himself, saying, this did happen, and standing by. in a sense, it is peripheral to the main story, that of sexual harassment allegations, which this has spiralled out of. and damian green is under investigation as part of that. there was a suggestion in some of the papers this morning, at least from one conservative mp, outing a colleague as an alleged sex pest. the whip's office hadn't acted on some of the claims made against mps, and in some ways, that is more disturbing as a criticism of the culture more generally. and that is

not just within the culture more generally. and that is notjust within the conservatives but also labour, this question of whether or not the whips are giving out information when they should. in the case of labour and kelvin hopkins, there is an accusation that the whip's office did tell the leadership about the allegations and they did not act on it. there is a story in the times about dan poulter. he is a former health minister. and downing street has told us he will also be looked at by this committee that is looking at allegations against mps. in his case, a suggestion that perhaps the whips knew about allegations that we re whips knew about allegations that were not acted upon. there is a question. it is important to acknowledge that he denies that. there is an allegation that perhaps in the whip's office they are keeping a list, referred to some as a black book of information they can use later on in order to, i suppose, persuade loyalty from certain mps. we heard from amber rudd earlier on,

the home secretary, speaking to andrew marr, and she made it clear that in her time in the whip's office, she never saw a suggestion office, she never saw a suggestion ofa office, she never saw a suggestion of a black book and that is not something that is happening. i spent a year in the whip's office under george young, and there was no black book, nothing of that sort of influence going on. it was more about trying to get government business through. i recognise that there is a really important change that needs to take place in westminster. it's notjust westminster but other workplaces as well. i think there should be total candour about the sort of... if there are rumours oi’ candour about the sort of... if there are rumours or allegations, we need to bring them up, find out what is going on and deal with him in a transparent way so they don't happen again. the whip's offices have traditionally been all—male domains, and that may be taken into consideration here. and it is not just a problem for the tories, is a?

it is across the board. the snp are looking into allegations, labour are looking into allegations, labour are looking into allegations and have already suspended kelvin hopkins. just today, not just at westminster, it has stretched to scotland as well, because just today we have the news that a labour msp has claimed that she was sexually assaulted and that she was sexually assaulted and that the party did not do enough to help out. that is the view that we got from becks bailey, the labour member whojust a got from becks bailey, the labour member who just a few days ago told the bbc that she was sexually assaulted and that when she spoke to assaulted and that when she spoke to a senior labour official, they basically told her that it would potentially damage her if she spoke out, so chic kept quiet and said she did not feel she got the kind of support she needed. today, the andrew marr show spoke —— so she kept quiet. labour say that they are

trying to be clear on this. and there was an apology for becks bailey. i think that becks bailey has gone through a traumatic experience, and what has happened to her, and a fact that she felt she was unable... she was advised not to pursue this by the labour party. this is why, andrew, there needs to bea this is why, andrew, there needs to be a thorough investigation, and thatis be a thorough investigation, and that is whyjeremy corbyn has called for a renowned established qc to investigate this matter urgently and to have a response urgently. of course, i'm really sorry what happened to becks, and she has been extraordinarily brave, but we need a process where you don't have to be brave to have justice done more to come forward. we should have a policy in place where women don't have to be brave. dawn butler was talking about the focus of this meeting tomorrow involving the party

leaders. they are looking at a proper grievance system that will be brought in. individual parties have talked about their code of conduct, the conservatives, for example, bringing in their new code of conduct on friday. labour updating their systems. they are talking about having a westminster— wide system. in a company, you can go to the hr department, and procedure, but there are no procedures in place in westminster, so that is what they will be talking about. all of the parties really want to deal with this because they are all affected and tarnished by this at the moment, and tarnished by this at the moment, and they want to do something about it. very much. -- thanks very much. social media giants must do more to stop child sexual exploitation, the home secretary has said, as new government figures show a rise in indecent images of children being reported to the police. writing in the sun on sunday, amber rudd said that companies have a "moral duty" to go "further and faster" in tackling abuse. technology firms insist they're doing their utmost to keep their young users safe.

police in london have arrested a i6——year—old boy on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after two acid attacks last week. two delivery drivers on mopeds were sprayed with a corrosive substance in separate attacks in walthamstow and tottenham in north east london. a 14—year—old boy who was arrested on friday has been released under investigation. the royal college of psychiatrists says it's found that the number of unfilled consultant posts in england has doubled in the past four years. the college says the shortage is alarming, and it has led to increased waiting times and lower standards of care, as ben ando reports. good health, it is said, is a matter for both body and mind. but some with mental health difficulties have to wait months to see a consultant psychiatrist. that, according to figures from the royal college of psychiatrists, is because in england one in ten of those jobs are not filled. it is a scandal that if you need to see a consultant psychiatrist you can't. if you had cancer you would see a cancer specialist quite quickly, within a couple of weeks. if you needed an operation you would see a surgeon. it is not right that people with mental health problems can not go to see a psychiatrist

when they need one. in wales, the number of unfilled consultant psychiatric posts stands at 9%, in scotland it's marginally better at 6%, while in northern ireland, just 2% ofjobs are vacant. the department of health says it knows it needs more psychiatrists, especially in the light of an increase in demand for mental health services. that is why it is expanding doctors' training places by 25%. it says that is the largest single increase ever. but training a psychiatrist to consultant level takes over a decade. while mental illness is moving up the health agenda, it will be some time before the supply of psychiatrists can match the increasing demands. ben ando, bbc news. donald trump has arrived injapan, the first stop on what will be the longest tour of asia by an american president for a generation. in an address to us and japanese troops at an airbase near tokyo, mr trump praised the alliance with japan. the tour is set to be dominated by the crisis over

north korea's nuclear programme. sophia tran—thomson has the latest. touchdown in tokyo. after flying in on air force one from hawaii, the president and the first lady met with us troops stationed in the region. much to the delight of the greeting party, the president gratefully accepted his official military gift. i like this better! you can have myjacket. in an effort to strengthen ties, the tour of asia will be the longest an american president has attempted in a quarter of a century. today nations that once waged war stand together as friends and partners in pursuit of a much better world. and we are getting there, getting there faster than you think. the president met the prime minister of japan for lunch before a round of golf, when they had an opportunity to informally discuss north korea and regional security. when mr trump arrives

in south korea on tuesday he will also have strong support for his stance on north korea's nuclear weapons programme. yet he will need commitment across the region to squeeze the north even tighter through sanctions. and that means getting china on board. on wednesday he meets the chinese leader and their talks may be less than cordial if mr trump presses his counterpart to take a stronger line with pyongyang and raises the issue of what he calls china's unfair trade practices. this 12 day tour will end with regional summits in vietnam and the philippines. leaders there will listen to hear how committed this america—first president is to the region at a time when china continues to emerge as the dominant regional force. sophie tran—thomson, bbc news. former prime minister gordon brown has said that the uk was misled over former iraqi dictator

saddam hussein's access to weapons of mass destruction. mr brown says us intelligence, which challenged the extent of iraq's wmd stockpile, was not shared with the uk before it joined the iraq war. a seven—year inquiry into the uk's involvement in the war found saddam hussein posed "no imminent threat" when the us and uk invaded. the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister's deputy, damian green, strenuously denies claims that pornographic material was found ona that pornographic material was found on a computer in his commons office in 2008. the royal college of psychiatrists says it is a scandal that mental health patients are being denied ca re health patients are being denied care and treatment because of a shortage of consultants. donald trump says that no nation should underestimate american resolve as he arrives injapan at the start of a marathon asian tour.

no marathons to talk about today at the bbc sports centre. catherine downes is there. starting with today's premier league football and tottenham against bottom side crystal palace is the early kick off. delle alli has been ruled out of the totte n ha m delle alli has been ruled out of the tottenham squad. yougov the rees also misses out through injury. it will be a tough game because crystal palace have a very good team. they have struggled a little bit at the start of the season and they have changed their manager. roy hodgson is a great manager. we have a good relationship from when he was in the national team. the teams from him are always very well—organised,

and it would be very very tough. and there are a couple of huge fixtures this afternoon — manchester city could extend their lead at the top of the table — they play arsenal, and later its chelsea against manchester united — a return to stamford bridge forjose mourinho: i accept every possible reaction. there are also nine more fa cup ist round fixtures to be played this afternoon.....you can keep up with all the action in a special fa cup final score programme on bbc one

from 1:45 this afternoon scotland have confimed that three of their players have been sent home from the rugby world cup for misconduct. the players concerned are captain danny brough, sam brooks and johnny walker — there are no further details, though a statement says the players have failed to adhere to the highest standards of behaviour. they will remain in christchurch while the rest of the team are in cairns in australia for their match against samoa next weekend. well on the field it hasn't been a good day for the home nations. ireland lost 14—6 to papua new guinea, while wales followed up their heavcy defeat to papua new guinea with an even heavier one to fiji. the latest score is 72—6 to fiji, with just a few minutes of the match remaining. there were comprehensively better than ours. i thought they played a great —— played a good game of ability. if people are playing football like that against you, as big, strong, fast and skilful as they are... to cricket now and both england's

men and women are in live action this morning. joe root‘s side are continuing their ashes preparations with their first warm up match against a western australia 11... the 2—day match has just endedd in a draw with western australia bowled out for 342. james anderson took four wickets, with mason crane and craig overton both picking up a couple of wickets each. england's women are gearing up for the stand alone ashes test match against australia, starting on thursday. their three—day match also ended in a da justin rose has given himself a great chance to win his second tournament in a fortnight. he shot a 3rd round 64 to move to within two shots of the lead at the turkish open, ahead of today's final round. he's 12 under par, with ireland's shane lowry tied for the lead on iii—under. and deontay wilder has "declared war" on anthonyjoshua, after retaining his wbc heavyweight title in the early hours wilder, who's unbeaten in 39 fights, beat bermaine stiverne with a first round knockout in new york and immediately after the fight challeneged joshua to

a unification bout next year. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. catherine, thank you. let's return to our main story this morning and the continuing allegations against politicians of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour. the cbi says that while westminster and hollywood are currently in the spotlight, there can be no doubt that the problem exists elsewhere, including in parts of business. it is calling on business leaders to step up and stamp out sexual harassment in the workplace. joining me now is carolyn fairbairn, director—general of the cbi. your conference opens tomorrow and presumably you don't want it overshadowed by this, but inevitably it is such a huge debate at the moment. do you think we have reached a turning point, and how might that apply in your sphere? this is an incredibly important moment.

although at the moment the issues are mostly in westminster and hollywood, it also happens at large in society. many firms will be shocked by what they are hearing. many have fun —— have fantastic practices. now is a good time to re—examine those, look at them with fresh eyes and see how we can really make this a turning point for society. it is a question of people having confidence that practices will be applied, which is an issue in big organisations, including at the bbc, the rules that there are and how they are applied and whether people are satisfied with that. what about all those other aspects of

businesses, small and medium—sized businesses, small and medium—sized businesses where relationships are more personal because you're working ina more personal because you're working in a small space and perhaps spending a lot of time together. the gig economy, the fact that people are freelance or on short—term contracts and they are more vulnerable than people who work in a big organisation. i think these are important questions. i see many businesses with outstanding practices because a lot of what this is about is involving your employees in discussion of these kinds of issues. one of the things we know is that young people can have very different views from the older generation about what is acceptable and what isn't, where the boundaries should be drawn. businesses employing people on short—term contracts can and do do that. i think we have a big role here in bringing different types of organisations together to talk about what works. and for employees to

know that they are not risking everything by raising a concern about the behaviour of a colleague or maybe someone more about the behaviour of a colleague or maybe someone more senior than them. that's right, creating an environment where you can speak out in confidence is fundamental. we are seeing it in westminster, and we need to make sure it exists everywhere. in many organisations, it does, but it needs to exist everywhere. let me ask you about your own experience. you have been in business for many years — when you look back, what do you think has changed in terms of the culture and the treatment of women?” changed in terms of the culture and the treatment of women? i have to say, i think we have made real progress. i had experiences, particularly as a younger woman, in business where i was made to feel uncomfortable. through time, and i have had conversations with my daughters about this who are just coming into the workplace, i think we have come a long way. did you feel you had to warn them to be on the lookout for things and be

conscious that if someone suggests doing a bit of work over a drink, that it could be entirely innocent or could be something else? there are others conversations you can have with your children, but i am encouraged that many organisations have brought in policies that create safe environments for women and other people to be able to speak up. it's just not quite everywhere yet. asi it's just not quite everywhere yet. as i say, i think bringing young people into the conversation is also not just about gender, people into the conversation is also notjust about gender, it is about difference. this is about power and unequal relationships. inevitably, someone unequal relationships. inevitably, someone has to be in charge, otherwise a business can't function. and related point: how much do you think the culture would change if there were more women at the top business? i don't it's the whole answer, because it is about how men behave. this sharing of what is the right

boundary on different issues works. the priority behind getting more women into senior roles... we know that in senior positions, only 18% of executive committees are female. 26% of boards. we have work to do, and it would make a difference. thank you very much. the conference opens tomorrow?, it does indeed. lots to talk about there. also, brexit. the heir to the throne in saudi arabia has overseen a major purge in the country's leadership. ii princes, four current ministers and dozens of former ministers have been detained. crown prince mohammed bin salman is the head of a newly—established anti—corruption committee, and he appears to have sidelined

a number of powerful figures. our security correspondent frank gardner reports. saudi arabia has been shaken by two shocks within hours of each other, first, a ballistic missile fired by rebels in yemen reportedly reached the capital riyadh before they were shot down. this is a big step, they are using ballistic missiles, long—range missiles, likely from iraq to put pressure on the saudi arabian government which has been bombarding yemen figures now. ——yemen for years now. next in an unrelated move came the news that several prominent princes including serving ministers had been detained in a sweeping anti—corruption purge led by the crown prince mohammed bin salman. the heir to the throne has been moving fast to consolidate his growing power while spearheading a modern reform programme. this move will now give him nominal control of all the country's security forces, but at the same time the removal from office of several well known figures is sure to upset some more conservative elements.

saudi arabia is a deeply tribal society and not used to sudden change. it's currently conducting a war in yemen, another against so—called islamic state and a boycott of qatar. what is clear is that the mohammed bin salman regime is struggling very much. he's trying to consolidate power, and this attack on the capital is an embarrassment, to say the least. these are risky times in the desert kingdom. frank gardner, bbc news. michelle pfeiffer has spoken for the first time about the sex abuse scandal in hollywood. joining the british actress olivia colman on the andrew marr show this morning, michelle pfeiffer said that it it is good that people are talking about the issue. i have had some experiences, i have to say, since this all came out. there really

hasn't been one woman i have talked to who hasn't had an experience, and it goes to show you how systemic the problem is. i know i'm having conversations with women i've known my whole life and we've never discussed this, and it's coming out. do you think this will change the atmosphere for younger women coming into the atmosphere, that men will think? i think all the men are thinking. there is a lot of reflection going on with men and women. you know, iwas reflection going on with men and women. you know, i was actually thinking myself, thinking back, and thinking, well, you know... where is that line between, i got hit on, and i was inappropriately, you know... ? is it about power, basically? well, i think that when you're in a position of power and in a position to intimidate someone, i think that it becomes... there are cases with

young women in their 20s. it seems like it is women in their 20s. they are youngerand like it is women in their 20s. they are younger and purposely targeted. dateline london is coming up, but let's get the weather first. i p°pped let's get the weather first. i popped out briefly to get some air, and it is cold and sunny. is that what we have to look forward to this week? admixture. admixtu re. temperatures admixture. temperatures have taken a drop, but for most, the sunshine is out. —— a mixture. northern ireland, wales, parts of the south west are seeing showers. show was easing in the next few hours. a few showers in eastern coast —— eastern coastal

counties of england. if you are off to fireworks displays this evening, there will be a frost developing quickly across the country. one or two spots of rain lifting the temperature. temperatures across rural parts of scotland and england could get down to minus 4——6dc. at the start of the week, it will be sunny the start of the week, it will be sunny summer on the start of the week, it will be sunny summer on this team eastern parts of england, clouding over in the west. some rain, strengthening breeze. the worst rain will be in the north—west highlands of scotland. still feeling cool tomorrow.
