this is bbc news. i'm matthew price. the headlines at 11: boris johnson is rebuked after calling for more money for the nhs. scotland yard is investigating a new allegation of sexual assault againstjohn worboys. rupert murdoch's plan for a takeover of sky has been provisionally blocked by uk regulators. and on newsnight, we have a first—hand report from a big—men—only charity dinner, where senior businessmen get drunk and where some grope young female hostesses. yes, it raises money, but it also raises questions. good evening, and welcome to bbc news. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has been rebuked by both the prime minister and the chancellor after he let it

be known that he wanted substantial new spending on the nhs in england. at today's cabinet meeting, theresa may reminded colleagues that discussions should be held in private. and the chancellor pointed out that he'd already allocated extra resources in last year's budget. the row underlined concerns among some conservative mps about the government's handling of the winter pressures on the nhs as our political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. so, she can come out in a wheelchair. that's our treatment room anyway, so that's not going to free upa bed. long waits... this gentleman hasjust come in. long days, another glimpse of the pressure at the university of north tees hospital, like wards around the country. we need more beds in the hospital. we need more beds for them to go to. number 10 knows hospitals, patients, and the public looks to them for answers. however unwelcome the visitors making demands really are.

reporter: do you want to be the chancellor, foreign secretary? he called for more cash at cabinet for the health service, making public before, what he planned to raise in private. the prime minister and others, unimpressed. inside, borisjohnson was told off for letting it be known he had been making such a call. reporter: foreign secretary, did you ask for more money for the nhs? no word after either way, from him. but other ministers didn't quite manage to hide their annoyance at what he'd done. did the foreign secretary raise the nhs this morning? you know as well as i do you can't go discussing cabinet. well, the foreign secretary has been discussing the cabinet. clearly, many mps and the foreign secretary are frustrated that not enough is being done? we have record funding going into the nhs. we put in extra money in for the winter pressures. we've got a really good story to tell. the health secretary, hurried into her waiting car, but is not surprisingly sympathetic to the idea of more taxpayers' money. this has stirred up a lot of fuss, but don't expect

the foreign secretary's pronouncements to make much difference soon. but it's tricky for number 10, notjust because he's a loud voice who doesn't always toe the line. notjust because there are genuine concerns about how the health service is coping, but because there's an anxiety among some tory mps that number 10 is short of ideas and short on ambition too. boris is right to speak out. it's not his brief and people might be upset about that, but if people wanted to speak out like boris, then they should have done. why the foreign secretary is making this point, is anybody's guess. but i think boris has set out his stall on brexit, now he's setting out his stall on the nhs, and no doubt we'll see boris setting out his stall on a lot of issues. i think boris has "borexited" himself from cabinet collective the man in charge of the government's cheque—book hardly sounds sympathetic. mrjohnson is the foreign secretary. umm, i gave the health secretary an extra £6 billion at the recent budget, and we'll look

at departmental allocations again at the spending review when that takes place. thank you. sources suggest the health secretary is not plotting with mrjohnson, but perhaps every little helps. i don't think any health secretary is ever going to not support potential extra resources for his or her department. there was agreement in cabinet that money that may come back to the uk after brexit should be spent on priorities like the health service. but that's set against labour's demand for an extra £5 billion now. for patients like blanche, who we met struggling back in stockton waiting on a trolley, the nhs often helps them to a rapid recovery. yes, ifeel a lot better now, than i did, yeah. but for politicians who oversee the service, there's rarely a simple case.

laura kuennsburg, bbc news, westminster. the trial of darren osborne, who's accused of driving a van into a group of muslims outside a mosque in north london, has heard that he received direct messages from far—right groups before the attack. osborne denies one charge of murder and one of attempted murder. 51—year—old, makram ali, was killed in the incident injune last year, as our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, reports. the seconds just before a large white van, travelling at speed, smashed into a crowd of muslim men marking ramadan lastjune. it was the fourth attack last year, and the first to target muslims. the prosecution say that in the previous fortnight, the man on trial for the attack, darren osborne, had searched dozens of times on the internet for ultra nationalist groups and stories about terror attacks, like the manchester bombing. the jury heard that in the 15 days before the attack, darren osborne received two direct communications from far right leaders. a direct message on twitter

from the deputy leader of britain first, jayda fransen, and a note from tommy robinson, one of the founders of the english defence league, in which he talked about a nation within a nation forming beneath the surface in the uk. a nation based upon violence and on islam. on the morning of the day before the attack, osborne had hired a large box van from a local rental company. and that evening, he sat down in his local pub in cardiff with a pen and paper. the prosecution say that's when he wrote a note, later found in the van, which talks about "feral, inbred, raping muslim men, hunting in packs." callum spence, a serving soldier, was in the pub. he told the jury that darren osborne said to him, "all ourfamilies are going to be muslim." and then, "i'm going to kill all muslims, i'm going to take things into my own hands." less than 28 hours later, the van darren osborne hired killed makram ali and seriously injured several others.

he denies murder and attempted murder. daniel sandford, bbc news, at woolwich crown court. the metropolitan police is investigating a new allegation of sexual assault made against the convicted rapist, john worboys. bbc news understands that the claim dates back to 1997 and the alleged victim came forward in the past few weeks. worboys, who was jailed nine years ago, has been cleared for release by the parole board at the end of this month. mark easton explained how this new development could potentially affect the release plans. given the huge national outcry, police will throw everything they can at this new investigation. it is still in its early stages. they will put it together as quickly as possible and give it to prosecutors. the crown

prosecution service will need to be convinced there is a reasonable reason to convict. it may not be straightforward. this allegation goes back more than two decades, 1997, an allegation of sexual assault againstjohn worboys. don't forget, prosecutors will need to be persuaded it passes what they call the evidential test. this allegation precedes all of those allegations around his conviction in 2009. they will look at this carefully. that said, they will pursue this with vigor and will want to chargejohn worboys while he is still in prison, currently held in a jail near london. at which point, his parole will be rescinded. that would be a huge relief for many of his victims, who expressed extreme concern at the prospect of this imminent release from jail. fox's planned takeover of sky isn't in the public interest, according to the competition watchdog. the competition and markets authority says allowing the murdoch

family's company to go ahead with the deal would give them too much "influence over public opinion and the political agenda." not currently own. earlier our media editor amol rajan explained the significance of these developments for rupert murdoch's company. over 6—7 years ago was the first bid. then there was the phone hacking scandal. this time it has beenin hacking scandal. this time it has been in the regulator court. they have said they are happy with the beard in terms of broadcasting standards, but they have concerns about media plurality. they do not wa nt about media plurality. they do not want excessive concentration of power. there are a few issues. they

mention some remedies which sky could come up with. but it could be superseded by another take over bid going on, with rupert murdoch saying he would sell his company to disney. if disney get fox, all these concerns of plurality will fall away. in los angeles, the oscar nominations have been announced, and leading the field with 13 nominations is the fantasy romance, the shape of water, starring the british actress, sally hawkins. the best actor category is dominated by british performers, with gary oldman, daniel day—lewis, and daniel kaluuya all nominated. and meryl streep, who already has three oscars to her name, has been nominated for the 21st time in her career, as our arts editor, will gompertz, tells us. guillermo del toro's amphibian fantasy love story,

the shape of water, leads the way, with 13 oscar nominations, including best picture. this is the most sensitive asset ever to be housed in this facility. so, mildred hayes, why did you put up these billboards? a category which also sees the critically acclaimed dark comedy thriller, three billboards outside ebbing, missouri nominated. ..saw an actual crime. i want to go where culture is... as well as the coming—of—age drama, lady bird. good to see an old brother around here. also short—listed is the horror mystery, get out. ah, yes. and a couple of british world war two films. christopher nolan's dunkirk. when will the lesson be learned?! and joe wright's the darkest hour, which sees winston churchill struggling in his early days as britain's wartime prime minister. when your head is in its mouth! several of the scenes in the darkest hour were shot in a replica of this place, the churchill war rooms in westminster, where i am joined by terri white, editor—in—chief of the film magazine, empire. terri, welcome.

thank you. we're going to go through the runners and riders, starting with the best film. will the darkest hour win? i don't think it will. i think we're looking at a win for shape of water, the guillermo del toro fantasy monster epic. but actually, the film i think should win is get out. which has a british rising star, daniel kaluuya, in the lead role. he gets a best actor nomination. i'm certain i was never meant to marry... along with daniel day lewis, for phantom thread, timothee chalamet for call me by your name. i'm tired of doing the impossible for the ungrateful... denzel washington for roman] israel, esq. really, yes, sir! and gary oldman, for the darkest hour. it is the reason i sit in this chair! well, terri, that's quite a list for the best actor and quite a lot of stories. will daniel day lewis win yet another oscar, in what may be his last film? will gary oldman win for churchill, for darkest hour, in the cabinet war rooms? or will it be somebody else? i think this is gary oldman's year. how he's never won

an oscar is beyond me. and darkest hour feels like his finest moment. the best actress category is going to be really competitive. so, who will win? sally hawkins for the shape of water? or frances mcdormand, for three billboards outside ebbing, missouri? maybe margot robbie for i, tonya. or saoirse ronan for lady bird. or even perhaps meryl streep for the post. again, so that's a really great list. are you going to say we're going to get another british winner, sally hawkins in the shape of water, or maybe meryl streep? no way. this year, it's all about frances mcdormand in three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. one of the great dramatic performances of the year. i suspect she's right. we'll find out on the fourth of march, when the oscars are awarded, and possibly make history... now on bbc news, it's time for newsnight. is this the most grotesquely sexist charity event anywhere? the business dinner where some of the rich guests grope hostesses, and an auction prize is plastic

surgery for the wife. stag night type shenanigans, at the dorchester hotel, raising money for great ormond street among others. we'll hear the details of what went on at the presidents club dinner from the ft‘s undercover reporter who was there. are we surprised that this goes on? should we be outraged? also tonight, this is how you mine diamonds. and this is how you mine bitcoins. why are huge numbers of supercomputers now being used to conjure up cryptocurrency from thin air? your running costs are 25% of revenue which makes net profit 75%, which is a very high margin. leaving home for the first time. it's not always easy being a student. with the suicide rate rising, should we worry more about their mental health? if you're paying so much and you're kind of getting little back, you should think that all the extra stuff around that,

all the support and all the pastoral care that you can get, should be at least adequate. hello. it's not how you'd expect charities to make money. a dinnerfor some top business names at the dorchester hotel last thursday — a men only event — at which the rich get drunk and are then turned on by attractive young hostesses, who have to put up from some of the guests with groping and from a minority, worse. a kind of raunchy stag night, in black tie. we can only bring you fleeting pictures from inside, as the hostesses‘ mobile phones were locked away beforehand. the women also had to sign non—disclosure agreements. but what we have, we can report as the financial times sent two women in as hostesses, in an undercover investigation published tonight.
