jab. yes, chemist runs short of flu jab. yes, we've now on not only got to fear the australian flu but also the japanese flu and today... sorry, today the telegraph is saying people across the country were being turned away from pharmacies who had run out of stock of the vaccine. so there is a shortage in cumbria and the telegraph has contacted branches of routes across the midlands. it is not a cause for panic straightaway. boots said today, it has told the telegraph they would be being resupplied and swiftly. one of the things that comes up later in the story is high—street chemist said they avoided overstocking the jabs because they are only reimbursed by the nhs for vaccines that are used, so the nhs for vaccines that are used, so they only keep quite a small supply in stores because they don't wa nt to supply in stores because they don't want to lose money. it does point out there is a stockpile somewhere. they don't exactly where that there isa they don't exactly where that there is a stockpile. i don't think there is a stockpile. i don't think there isa is a stockpile. i don't think there is a need to panic. as they say, it could be the worst flu season for seven years. it is not at that point yet. sadly 85 people have died over
10:46 pm
the winter period, but it is not that caused panic at the moment. i seem that caused panic at the moment. i seem to remember that caused panic at the moment. i seem to remember seven years ago when it was far worse, most of the country survived. don't get too worried about it. we are overdue a flu epidemic! they are from tomorrow going to be fully stocked again so again, ithink going to be fully stocked again so again, i think it is a little bit scary the way it is presented in the telegraph but i think we will be all right. the extraordinary thing to me as there is so much warning about the flu, you have to wave a flag and say, particularly in vulnerable, elderly, but also the national health service people are being pushed to have the flu jab. you would think they would get that automatically? except because of the way the flu jab works, it doesn't protect you against all the strains of that. it can make people feel not particular well having it and there is an argument that it is pretty pointless, some doctors make this argument. as beings can be lazy
10:47 pm
income be bothered to get it. you talking about yourself? gas! but of course the broader context here for this is the nhs is really, really struggling. in theory it has had a relatively easy winter which has still been incredibly tough on staff, they are losing staff, these a&e specialist sending a letter to the prime minister this week, saying about the state of a&es. that is a big problem, because if you have the context people dying on trolleys and additionally got a growing crisis, though admittedly at the moment not that big, but has the potential to become something much bigger, then it becomes... they say it's moving towards an epidemic. a scary word. an official epidemic in france. still just across the an official epidemic in france. stilljust across the channel. there isa stilljust across the channel. there is a big drama front page of the daily telegraph. michael, a familiar face one could say, john humphrys,
10:48 pm
the today programme presenter facing criticism. just explain if you can what this is about. he was recorded having that all four word banter about carrie gracie, the bbc news china editor who resigned earlier in the week about the gender pay rules. as the week has gone and he has been speaking tojon as the week has gone and he has been speaking to jon sopel, as the week has gone and he has been speaking tojon sopel, the bbc's north america editor. this wasn't being broadcast but this tape has got out and got into other hands, it was in the times this morning and the sun, in which they were joking about it. these jokes haven't gone down very well. particularlyjohn humphrys rather than jon sopel. down very well. particularlyjohn humphrys rather thanjon sopel. at one point, jon sopel said stop in a jokey manner. john humphrys talking here, also on the front of the sun. they want him out. and a lot of people in the bbc, predict we women iimagine, people in the bbc, predict we women i imagine, don't like the cut of
10:49 pm
theirjib, the way they were joking, particularly john humphrys. in theirjib, the way they were joking, particularlyjohn humphrys. in the telegraph he is saying if he could relive the last few days, he wouldn't have done the same chat withjon sopel. but i think that wouldn't have done the same chat with jon sopel. but i think that 74, i thinkjohn with jon sopel. but i think that 74, i think john humphrys with jon sopel. but i think that 74, i thinkjohn humphrys probably doesn't care that much. he's making quite a lot of money at the moment, on about £600,000 a year and the moment? he probably has a decent pension and is better off than most people. he is trying to laugh it off and isa people. he is trying to laugh it off and is a it was a wind—up, saying it wasjust a nasty and is a it was a wind—up, saying it was just a nasty person with a gradually did. that is the other wrangle. let's just go to this front page here... bbc women want veteran sacked. what a surprise! one paragraph we can see on the front?l source for an equal page campaign group said the only acceptable outcome is for him to go. i think one of the frustrations of one of these women is a lot of them have stopped, they are not allowed to
10:50 pm
present on this issue, butjohn humphrys is still allowed to. allowed ? everyone humphrys is still allowed to. allowed? everyone seems to know it was a conversation which he didn't expect. he was broadcasting at the time. sure, but going forward... the people have been banned, who have commented on it publicly. his argument was this was a private conversation which has become a public one and he is still allowed to ask people about this issue. and still trying to laugh it off whereas other people are taking far more seriously. onto another story... chelsea on the front page of the mirror, chelsea n—word outrage. chelsea on the front page of the mirror, chelsea n—word outragem emerged on the guardian online. it is chelsea youth players claiming to have been subject to racial abuse by the coach and scout. i think at
10:51 pm
chelsea since 1979, very close to ken bates, the chairman and owner that was. he was there quite a few years. there is confirmed quite shocking stuff these players say they were subjected to from both of them. and that is their relegation. the pair of them deny those allegations, and we must say the police have said they have found no evidence for it. there was a complaint made to the pleas, the police investigated and there was no grounds for prosecution. chelsea are now subject to legal action from these players who said it lived with them. these young lads, they are eager to please, a lot of them from very poor backgrounds and this is a good chance to give themselves and theirfamilya great good chance to give themselves and their family a great future, playing foot ball their family a great future, playing football is a dream for a lot of young lads. if they are subjected to this sort of thing... these people have great power over them. if they are subjecting these lads... why might you are generalising. are subjecting these lads... why might you are generalisingm
10:52 pm
are subjecting these lads... why might you are generalising. it is interesting, when we see a spotlight shifting, we start in hollywood, we come to other organisations and institutions and settling on the world of football now. football had the allegations in the women's game last year which came before parliament, where the women said, not totally dissimilar, not as severe, but that there was racial abuse and a lot of sexism going on and bad behaviour. do you think it's and bad behaviour. do you think it's a case that in areas where people sort of felt it had to be put up with, again not this case particular, but in sport... people playing football and so on, oh well, there's a lot of rough—and—tumble, but now people are looking at that sort of thing differently? yes, and power stretches. hollywood is similar. a couple of people hold an awful lot of power, particularly over relatively young people starting out, who hope this person will be the person who makes their career. this is very difficult to ta ke career. this is very difficult to take them on, when you think my
10:53 pm
career lies in this person's hands. the point was made earlier in the week, allegations against kojak newcastle united. ithink week, allegations against kojak newcastle united. i think they are being investigated as well. it goes back to these lads are scared of them. he also denies it. the financial times front page, rosamond, the headline says mortgage lenders shut the door on bit coin investors eyeing first property, disentangle this for us and tell us what it is! essentially lots of young people have seen bitcoin is an easy way to make money. people compare to other rushs in the city on the past, going back to tulip fever. the crypto currency, it doesn't exist in physicalform. currency, it doesn't exist in physical form. it is the currency, it doesn't exist in physicalform. it is the most currency, it doesn't exist in physical form. it is the most famous crypto currency but a lot of people have piled into it because it's been seen as a have piled into it because it's been seen as a really quick way to get a massive return. it has shot up very quickly. now, they have tried to
10:54 pm
cash out and some people have struggled even to do that, but those who have have thought, this is great, i will put a deposit on my flat. except it turns out they are not really allowed to use it as a deposit on a flat. public sector worker who made £40,000 investing bitcoin couldn't get a mortgage because he couldn't prove where he got the funds. what is interesting about this is a mortgage lender didn't know what a crypto currency was, which seems staggering to me given that it's been pretty much the most talked about things of the last year. maybe... you might read about it but it is still a pretty complex thing. but this will create a problem, because it's really difficult to get on the property market, this is one way to get a deposit, or has been. there is no guarantee it keeps going up, obviously. michael, are you using your bitcoin to find a new place?|j checked your bitcoin to find a new place?”
10:55 pm
checked by the computer to see if i dropped any of there! it has been explained to me a million times what bitcoin is all about and it seems like it's a made up thing that will end up causing a lot of problems for a lot of people who have invested so much time and it stops are not if you cash out! bellowed the people have been able to cash out and then being ripped off when they have tried to cash out. the problem here wouldn't apply, this is the first time buyers, because the aftershow way your deposit has come from. if you owned the property, you could use that money to pay down the mortgage and then you don't have a problem because no one is asking when you pay down your mortgage. obviously no one should lie! thank you both very much indeed. that is it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. asi

as i said, thank you very much, bye— bye. claire mag hello, another rather cloudy day for many parts of the british isles comes to an end. you will see from the satellite imagery earlier in the day that there were some decent gaps in wales, the west country and one or two spots in east anglia and further north. there is a change in hand towards the west, weather from coming change in hand towards the west, weatherfrom coming in from change in hand towards the west, weather from coming in from the atlantic, a combination of wet and windy fare. it worked with the western fringes of england, wales and scotland after northern ireland. further east, a lot of cloud keeping the fog at bay, and the extra breeze and very windy with showers getting up and very windy with showers getting up into the northern isles. scotland, saturday morning, hopefully not too close to that weather front because once you get it, you tend to keep it for the greater part of the day. elsewhere, a lot of cloud, a hint of brightness for east anglia perhaps. the cloud
10:57 pm
thickening over the high ground of northern england. the best of the brightness perhaps around the married first, although a cold start p°p5 up married first, although a cold start pops up touch of frost. you will see what i mean about the progress of this weather front. creeping what i mean about the progress of this weatherfront. creeping into western scotland, the western half of wales, down through maybe as far towards the east as west somerset, west dorset, but elsewhere ahead of it, a lot of cloud. some brightness but basically we work on the same amount of cloud you've had of late and the same temperatures, the forecast won't be too far off the truth. here comes that weather front during the course of the evening and overnight. really just fizzling institute. the rain becoming ever more patchy. ahead of it, still sufficient cloud, a bit of breeze to keep the fog and frost at bay. here we are for sunday, a lot of wind across the north—east and north—west of scotland. further south, a band of scotland. further south, a band of cloud associated with the front moves to the eastern side of the british isles. back towards the west, the chance of some sunshine. again, temperatures not i
10:58 pm
west, the chance of some sunshine. again, temperatures not! million miles from where you have been, maybe losing one or 2 degrees. the wind certainly freshens ahead of the next weather front, as wind certainly freshens ahead of the next weatherfront, as it wind certainly freshens ahead of the next weather front, as it works its way out of the north west of scotla nd way out of the north west of scotland and down across the british isles on monday, it puts us all in a much colder air mass. the last of the milder air out of the way during monday and then tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday it is much colder. such that it will feel cold in all spots given that it will be windy, and those showers quite wintry. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: international outrage facing the president, over remarks he's said to have made about african nations and haiti these are shocking and shamful comments from the president of the united states, i'm sorry but there is no other word i can use other than racist. a fine of £10,000 for the surgeon
