9:01 am
two captured members of the british islamic state cell, nicknamed "the beatles", should be considered for trial at the hague. in sport, a crash landing for the brits, on day one of the winter olympics. all 3 of the medal hopes in the snowboard slopestyle, try spectacular moves in the skies, but fail to make the final — with billy morgan falling on his final run. after disappointment for the snowboarders, all eyes are now on elise christie. iam i am live at twickenham with all the build—up from the big one, england versus wales in the six nations championship. and, nick has the weather forecast. good championship. and, nick has the weatherforecast. good morning, it is the weekend. rain at some stage today for all of us. the chance of snow, especially later, and after being less cold, tomorrow is much colder again. i have got your forecast for you later. the bee invitation was given by the
9:02 am
sister of the north korean leader. let's get more from our correspondence. i think we have got a problem with stephen. we will make sure that we have got a connection. it is not happening at the moment. we will come back to that in a moment. steven mcdonald is injohn chang for us, there. let's just steven mcdonald is injohn chang for us, there. let'sjust show steven mcdonald is injohn chang for us, there. let's just show you the wider images, there. —— pyeongchang for us. we knew that the two site would be meeting, and stephen, think we can come back to you, now. this time, yesterday, we spoke, didn't we? and the question mark was, was there a hand shake? this morning,
9:03 am
things have changed significantly? absolutely. the thaw between north and south korea continues here at the winter olympics. we now have this remarkable invitation from the leader of the north, from the south korean president to visit at his earliest possible convenience. this came from a letter handwritten by his sister. kim yo—jong went into the presidential blue house, where there is this high—level north korean delegation which sat down with the south korean government, including president moon, and during this meeting, she came up with this folder, and we were wondering what was in the folder, and in fact, it was in the folder, and in fact, it was a handwritten message from the north korean leader, her brother to his south korean counterpart. now, i don't know how this will go down in
9:04 am
the united states. the trump administration has been saying that really, this is not the time for engagement with the north. maximum pressure needs to be kept on pyeongchang for —— north korea avoids north nuclear weapons programme. but, this could press ahead with dialogue. it is an interesting situation, because we know that mike pence is there at the moment. he went out there clearly with his own messages in amongst international diplomacy? absolutely. vice president, mike pence, here at the olympics. he said that at every stage you will be challenging north korea on human rights and nuclear weapons. at the stadium, here, behind me, last night at the opening ceremony, he was within the handshake's ceremony, he was within the handsha ke's distance of ceremony, he was within the handshake's distance of the north
9:05 am
korean leader's sister, and com pletely korean leader's sister, and completely shunned them. so, i think that the us government does not seem at the moment prepared to open a dialogue with the north, even though moonjae—in, today, dialogue with the north, even though moon jae—in, today, at dialogue with the north, even though moonjae—in, today, at the same meeting said that they should attempt to have discussions with the united states. i am not so sure that the trump administration is open for that possibility, just yet. thank you so much. the winter olympics. we will have more on the action that is ongoing, a little bit later in the sport. six minutes past nine is the time. the government has condemned the "appalling abuse of vulnerable people in haiti" and says 0xfam has serious questions to answer over claims the charity covered up the use of prostitutes by some of its staff. 0xfam insists it publicised the action it took against the aid workers involved, some of whom were fired. however, the times is reporting several went on to work for other charities, who were unaware of their past behaviour. 0xfam denies it provided positive references for any staff who were dismissed.
9:06 am
jessica parker reports. an advert from the charity giant, 0xfam. it got nearly £32 million from the uk department for international development in the last financial year, but amid the sexual exploitation scandal, the government said last night: the allegations surround the the behaviour of aid workers here in haiti following the devastating earthquake in 2010. a times newspaper found inappropriate behaviour, including the use of prostitutes. the charity has denied a cover—up and said that it publicly announced an enquiry into the claims in 2011. it said the behaviour of some of its staff had been totally unacceptable, but that allegations that underage girls may have been involved were not proven. four staff members were dismissed and three were allowed to resign as part of the external investigation. was this the first time that you ever heard of exploitative sexual behaviour going on at 0xfam? no. i can only think of one or two examples that come to mind, but we had already agreed that any sign that anybody was doing this, there
9:07 am
would be an investigation. that investigation was noted and went to our trustee board. today the times reports fresh claims that 0xfam failed to warn other aid agencies about the staff, allowing them to take otherjobs the sector. while there is a wide acknowledgement that hundreds of 0xfam staff have done nothing wrong, the charity does now face serious questions about its past and what that could mean for its future. the defence minister, tobias ellwood, has suggested two members of the so—called islamic state group, who are from london, should be tried at the international criminal court in the hague. the bbc understands that the two — who were part of a unit thought to have murdered 27 hostages — have been stripped of their british citizenship. 0ur political correspondent, chris mason, reports. now, this is tobias ellwood. he was called a hero after giving first aid to pc keith palmer, the policeman who was stabbed to death during a terrorist attack last year. he also lost his brother in a terrorist attack in bali in 2002. now, mr ellwod, a defence minister
9:08 am
has intervened over what should happen to these men, alexanda kotey, and el shafee elsheikh. they were part of a gang suspected of murdering alan henning, a driver and eight worker from eccles, and david haines, a long—time aid worker from perth. in interviews with the times and the daily telegraph, tobias ellwood demands what he calls an agreed international process for captured fighters: can obey open. a decision is yet to be made about what will happen to alexander kotey and el shafee elsheikh. israel says one of its fighterjets has crashed after coming under syrian anti—aircraft fire. the f16 came down in israeli territory, and both pilots ejected safely. israel said it had been responding to the launch of an iranian drone into its airspace. a convicted killer, who drove his car over a woman as she tried to stop him stealing her handbag, has gone on the run after he was freed
9:09 am
from prison on licence. mark woolley was jailed for life at the old bailey in 2001 for the murder of costume designer elizabeth sherlock — and was released in november. scotland yard says he was last seen at a probation meeting in east london 10 days ago. gerry adams, one of the longest serving party leaders in the world, will step down as president of sinn fein today. after more than 3a years in the post, he will be replaced by mary lou mcdonald at a specially convened party conference in dublin. her first major challenge will be in northern ireland, where talks to restore the devolved government are due to conclude next week. mary lou mcdonald is set to be the new leader of of irish republicanism. her party is the second—biggest in the northern ireland, and third largest in the republic of ireland. sinn fein wants to be in power at stormont and in dublin. four—year is, they try to achieve the union threw bombs and bullets, seem to be
9:10 am
the political wing of the ira. mr adams has always denied being in the organisation, but security forces believe that he was. he then led the republican movement into the peace process. marylou mcdonald is from a very different background, she grew up very different background, she grew up in an affluent suburb of dublin, and has no direct experience of the northern ireland conflict. although not particularly well known in the —— outside of ireland, she has become known for her robust performances. she has already indicated that she will do things her way. i would fill gerry -- i would fill gerry's shoes. but i will bring my own. talks to restore the
9:11 am
devolved government arithmetic to reach a crunch point, next week. the church of england is facing criticism over the way it deals with allegations of sexual abuse, after it emerged more than 3000 safeguarding issues were investigated in 2016. a group of abuse survivors have been holding a silent protest outside the meeting of the ruling general synod this morning. one of them is gilo who joins us from there now a very big thank you forjoining us. just giving a sense of why this is such an important occasion. just giving a sense of why this is such an important occasionlj just giving a sense of why this is such an important occasion. i think what is important about today is that survivors have been gathering with synod and making a strong connection and forming an alliance with synod members in order to drive through change. we have brought with us, a booklet, saying, we asked for bread, but you gave us stones. that
9:12 am
has been sent to all synod members. it isa has been sent to all synod members. it is a very important document, it charts much pain in terms of the way in which the church has responded to survivors, and today, we are really able to connect that, with synod members and ask for their support and help. and we are able to support them as they drive through change in them as they drive through change in the church. 50, clearly hugely important as to what happens now, and whether that is achieved in the corporation that you're talking about. just go back a little bit in the story for ask woods there have been many criticisms in the way that the church has tried to handle if at all, or even recognise those who have made allegations, like yourself? could you tell us a bit about how you are treated and others, to? how they were treated? it is very hit and miss within dioceses. i think there are some
9:13 am
dioceses which have quite a good record, and i think there are others which have a very poor record. but, one of the very sad things is that the structure behind me in church house really has not been very good in its treatment of survivors. the national safeguarding team is coming under very considerable fire today, and indeed, yesterday, and i think many survivors feel now that its needs total root and branch reform. its needs new training, new management, and very much a new vision of itself, and its purpose, but more than anything, that needs to happen from today, is an overarching independent body to supervise and monitor the safeguarding of the church, so that its functional and operational. one
9:14 am
of the things that i think it probably has in common with other areas of life where there have been abuses, is that often people say, those people who make accusations, who have been the victims, they say that how they were treated subsequently can almost feel like they are being abused again. but it can compound a terrible situation. do you understand that? very much so. do you understand that? very much so. i think that is a very common experience for many of us. the dishonesty, malevolence, silence, legal games except that we experience, very much compound the heart and profoundly disrespects our stories and the impact on our lives, andi stories and the impact on our lives, and i think that is common in probably all institutions. survivors would say that the church, and the churches generally need to be leaders and they need to lead the way. —— leads the way. they have got
9:15 am
gospel imperative core principles that ought to be at the heart of really setting a profoundly good example in this, and they are failing. i very much appreciate your time. thank you very much. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the north korean leader kimjong—un has invited the south korean president to visit him at the earliest date possible, following a historic meeting in seoul. the government says it's reviewing its relationship with 0xfam, after claims the charity covered up a scandal involving its staff in haiti. this weekend is a weekend to wrap up. it is because of that north—westerly wind, nick? absolutely right. we will be feeling
9:16 am
it again tomorrow. today, a south—westerly, so a little less cold. now, i have found some sunshine for you, and it is in kent, but it has been quite a cold start across england. some sunshine which will not last too long, because here, rainfora time not last too long, because here, rain for a time today, although it is already beginning to pull away from scotland and northern ireland, and in tomorrow, sarnia and blue skies, but it will be much colder. all of the weekend whether showing up all of the weekend whether showing up on the satellite picture. is speckled cloud away to our northwest, these are the wintry showers coming in tomorrow. here is how it is looking over the next few hours, for the rest of this morning. outbreaks of rain spreading further south. something quieterfrom a time will turn wet again, especially in
9:17 am
northern ireland, later this afternoon. we take a closer look at things at three o'clock, today, and a lot of clear whether in scotland. you can see the green land that indicate some sunshine. something drierfor indicate some sunshine. something drier for a indicate some sunshine. something drierfor a time indicate some sunshine. something drierfora time in indicate some sunshine. something drierfor a time in northern england, butjust drierfor a time in northern england, but just turning drierfor a time in northern england, butjust turning a bit showery now at this stage into wales and south—west england. still some damp weather for east anglia into the south—east. that will eventually push away. and temperatures, today, it has been a cold start. as well, though, 7—10d. some of us edging into double figures. for the rugby, it will be largely and cloudy and damp in dublin and at twickenham, but a brisk south—westerly wind, which for england and wales, tonight, will get stronger with gales in places. look at this wet weather. we will see some snow particularly into southern scotland,
9:18 am
and northern england, for a time, particularly into the hills, but as that pulls away, snow showers following north—west of the uk, and temperatures will dip. there will be icy conditions going into the morning. more... if you get one of these heavy showers, you mayjust get a brief, light covering of snow in places, but more into the hills, as well. that wind direction, tomorrow, will feel much colder. there will be opportunities to see some show, there will be opportunities to see some snow, at times, but we will keep you updated about that for next week. thank you very much. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. politics lecturer victoria honeyman is here. you have picked out an article on jacob rees—mogg. we are seeing a lot
9:19 am
of him, recently, aren't we? there has been a lot of talk about him as a potential leader. inevitably, there is more adjusted in him. he is quite an unusual character in british politics. that is what the article is referring to. he has that article is referring to. he has that a lot of people in his comment. he certainly has. he is very right—wing. he is staunchly catholic in his views, about abortion, and particularly, there's top voter is him having his hair done, the bottom photo, the very small one is of him asa photo, the very small one is of him as a 12—year—old reading the financial times, this is an article that says, raising his profile, talking about who ears and what he believes them, and that is great, but he is a slight throwback to the 18th century. that is the thrust, really. in some ways, you could say,
9:20 am
he is not here to talk about himself. he is somebody that, who, despite maybe harry comes across, he clearly cared about his image. i know that the newspaper chose that particular shot, but mps are not immune from these things, that they might in public they are not releva nt. might in public they are not relevant. they will say that what they say and what they think is releva nt, they say and what they think is relevant, but it does matter, doesn't it? i don't think that he will be upset about that photograph, because while he is generally considered to be somebody who has a strong personal image, of being a very strong, very well put together, quite compact and strong beliefs, that people do not agree with... exactly. that people do not agree with... exa ctly. h e that people do not agree with... exactly. he might want to push some of his more popular views if he wa nts to of his more popular views if he wants to be more popular. that is what he seems to be doing. pushing himself forward as an individual, and somebody who will be of interest to the british public. what about
9:21 am
this insurance story? what is this all about? it is a very interesting story. it is arguing that the insurance industry, over the last five years, if not slightly longer, have attempted to add more and more cost to the average insurance policy, such as cancellation costs, but this is a particular idea about excesses. the excesses of a specific amount that you have to pay when you claim it is, but often, the accesses are more than the things that for. for example, a £500 access when you can receive £350 of dental work. so, you could never get the value of what you are claiming for? that is right. the bigger problem is that if you claim on your insurance, then you claim on your insurance, then you will pay more for it in the coming year, so this may be that it isa coming year, so this may be that it is a double or triple whammy on what people are doing. they are being hit by high cost of excesses, higher costs of cancellations, and the higher cost of... but even if you
9:22 am
don't make a claim, your insurance goes up. a lot of people's thinking is that they might as well make a claim. in the past, you might have thought, i have not famed forfive yea rs, thought, i have not famed forfive years, so thought, i have not famed forfive years, so i should be one of the people who get an advantage after that, but when a claim goes up, and you ask why, they say, a lot of people have made gains. your low but clearly, if you have got an excess of £100, and you can only claim for £100, what is the point of your insurance at all. doesn't that just say everything about how touches some dog owners, r. apparently corgis are the dog to have now. apologies for having a couple of dog heavy newspaper reviews. we talked about finn in the previous one, now we are talking about corgis. a p pa re ntly we are talking about corgis. apparently corgis have had a revival because of issues relating to the
9:23 am
crown, the netflix programme. i have seen serious crown, the netflix programme. i have seen serious one crown, the netflix programme. i have seen serious one of the crown, but i don't remember the dogs being in it. it was brilliant, but i did remember. they are in our lot. bisley, the queen is often in painted with her corgis. they are having a surgeons. you very rarely the corgis, don't you? they are supposed to be quite snappy. —— the corgis, don't you? they are supposed to be quite snappy. -- they are supposed to be quite snippy. snappy? know, different from snappy. iam sure snappy? know, different from snappy. i am sure that somebody will correct me if i'm wrong, but this is a specific type of gorgie. let's not talk about the cost reads. why shouldn't you tie the knot on valentine's day? what is it, next wednesday? apparently, some dutch research has suggested that if you get married on valentine's day, you
9:24 am
are 37% likely to be getting a divorce. maybe they are rushed? are 37% likely to be getting a divorce. maybe they are rushed ?|j divorce. maybe they are rushed?” will put a hole in that state the way, no one decides to get married on valentine's day, and then gets married the same ‘cause what on valentine‘s day, and then gets married the same ‘cause what is today say, convinced the? that is essentially the thrust of the article. if you get married on valentine‘s day, you‘re more likely to get divorced. there is lot of pressure. people rush to do it. that is essentially, cried a bit. i don‘t really get the fast with valentine‘s day. and it seems the gide to torture us single people. —— it seems that a day to torture single people. if you need a day to tell your partner that you love them, something is not quite right. so, we dismissing the dutch research? infield that we are. get one —— it feels like we are. you know what, get married when you want. thank

9:28 am
naga munchetty and charlie stayt. coming up before ten, nick will have the weather. but first, a summary of this morning‘s main news. the north korean leader kimjong—un has invited the south korean president moonjae—in to visit him at the earliest date possible. the unprecidented invitation was given in the form of a handwritten letter by the sister of the north korean leader. it comes after the two sides shared a historic handshake at the opening ceremony of the winter olympics in pyeongchang. it‘s been seen as a direct challenge to the trump administration, which had urged caution rather than engagement with the north. the government has condemned the "appalling abuse of vulnerable people in haiti" and says 0xfam has serious questions to answer over claims the charity covered up the use of prostitutes by some
9:29 am
of its staff. 0xfam insists it publicised the action it took against the aid workers involved, some of whom were fired. however, the times is reporting several went on to work for other charities, who were unaware of their past behaviour. 0xfam denies it provided positive references for any staff who were dismissed. the defence minister, tobias ellwood, has suggested two members of the so—called islamic state group, who are from london. should be tried at the international criminal court in the hague. the bbc understands alexanda kotey and el shafee elsheikh, whose unit is thought to have murdered 27 hostages, have been stripped of their british citizenship. the syrian fighters who captured them say they‘re yet to receive a request from any country to hand them over. israel says one of its fighterjets has crashed after coming under syrian anti—aircraft fire. the f16 came down in israeli territory, and both pilots ejected safely.
9:30 am
israel said it had been responding to the launch of an iranian drone into its airspace. fraudsters are conning vulnerable people out of thousands of pounds in a phone scam which demands they pay tax bills using itunes vouchers. victims are told they owe money to hmrc, and encouraged to buy the vouchers and pass on the codes to the scammer. they are then redeemed or sold on. 1500 people have fallen victim to this fraud, the average person is over 65, the average loss is £1150, although, very sadly, we heard of one 81—year—old gentleman who after repeated attacks lost £20,000 to this scam. a convicted killer, who drove his car over a woman as she tried to stop him stealing her handbag, has gone on the run after he was freed from prison on licence. mark woolley was jailed for life at the old bailey in 2001
9:31 am
for the murder of costume designer elizabeth sherlock, and was released in november. scotland yard says he was last seen at a probation meeting in east london 10 days ago. gerry adams, one of the longest serving party leaders in the world, will step down as president of sinn fein today. after more than 3a years in the post, he will be replaced by mary lou mcdonald at a specially convened party conference in dublin. her first major challenge will be in northern ireland, where talks to restore the devolved government are due to conclude next week. those are the main stories. mike, good morning, we are so excited, i am very excited, a couple of things, the winter olympics, this diplomacy coming around, there must be a good feeling of sport, really... overflowing. the power of sport to do what nothing else can, diplomacy, war, this brings people together. wonderful to see this. and the action, heartbreak, joy. in one
9:32 am
hour‘s time we will go through it allagain, hour‘s time we will go through it all again, elise christie, short track speed skating, we saw all that emotion, heartbreak for british stars, in the snowboard slopestyle, only the first event, they still have the big air event, you did not qualify for the final because of what happened on the landings, so crucial, the split second when you land, doing your rotations, all the work that has gone into that, it is how you land, they could not cope with it. this is what has been happening in pyeongchang on a busy first birthday. voiceover: in snowboarding, you match ambition in the air with boys in the fall, it is the olympic sport that rewards bravery. kick it co-commentator: the ground came up to meet him. british athletes have medal interest here, they have been training ona medal interest here, they have been training on a giant airbag to take the risk out of their tricks, jamie nicholls was on the edge of a final place ahead of the second run. —— poise. he had to push the boundaries to make it. jamie, that was huge!
9:33 am
that is how it goes sometimes in competition, today was not my day. right now looks like i might miss out on the finals by one spot, right now, i would out on the finals by one spot, right now, iwould be out on the finals by one spot, right now, i would be gutted. this is a youthful olympic discipline in many ways, billie morgan has made his name with tricks on youtube, now he had to keep the judges watching, the problem, he was playing catch up as well, forced into mistakes.” well, forced into mistakes. i knew! was going to be slow coming into the jump, was going to be slow coming into the jump, second round, ifelt the headwind, and i thought, no... that was all i could think about. in these events, months, years of training can be defined in an insta nt, training can be defined in an instant, in an error. a more patient struggle would decide the first medal, this combines two kinds of cross—country, equally gruelling, skiathlon, and charlotte kalla of sweden glided first past the galleries, and there was more history on the hill with marit bjoergen silver, she is now the most decorated female winter olympian. britain‘s medal hopes start with the
9:34 am
winter sprinting, elise christie is a world champion now, more used to success. this sport is not spies to be boring, you are not supposed to sit in second. —— not supposed to be boring. i will go for the win, i may not do it but that is what i will be trying to do. three medals in three distances are there for her, winning all of them would be truly historic, she is the speed skater going for superstardom. already a history making day at the winter olympic and plenty more to come on the bbc. the other big event, they don‘t come much bigger. the six nations continues this weekend with a mouthwatering clash at twickenham this afternoon. england take on wales.. with both sides looking, to build on winning sta rts sides looking, to build on winning starts t this year ‘s tournament. john watson is life for us, at twickenham, i believe you may have a couple of special guests. —— to this year ‘s tournament. —— live. victory
9:35 am
for england over italy, and the big win for wales over scotland, for the welsh perspective, michael owen, grand slam winner with wales, 2005, and mike tindall, england perspective, grand slam winner in 2003, if it gets heated, i am not stepping in! laughter last week and wales were very impressive. people writing them off a little bit but i think we always knew that the llanelli scarlets guys have got verve and confidence, they brought it through, no fear, do the same today. hoping they can do the same today. hoping they can do the same again today. talking about those guys from the llanelli scarlets, built on the bedrock of that team, ten of them starting, unchanged, perhaps unsurprising that warren gatland has stuck with the side that got past scotland. an players coming back, george north, euan williams, george north involved on the bench. —— 80 few players coming back. —— a few. i hope those
9:36 am
quys coming back. —— a few. i hope those guys can coming back. —— a few. i hope those guys can rise up to it and see them perform as we have seen in the past, for llanelli scarlets and last week at the millennium stadium. 23 wins out of 2a, incredible run for england under eddie jones, out of 2a, incredible run for england under eddiejones, master tactician on the field and off it, as he was ramping up the pressure on the welsh fly half, rhys patchell, saying, did he have the bottle to content with the twickenham called and that he will face, interesting to sow the seed of doubt. that is what eddie jones does, deflect away from the team, take on the pressure on his own shoulders, he wants to pumpa on his own shoulders, he wants to pump a little bit of pressure on rhys patchell, but it is also a challenge. rhys patchell is a good enough player to come out here and play like he did last week, he wants to make sure that he goes out to perform, that is what good coaches do, find places where they can apply
9:37 am
a little bit of pressure, and challenge those players. it is down now to rhys patchell to come out and show he is a player that can do that, he is of easily doing that because he says he is the third choice ten... i think eddie jones is a little bit worried about him in some ways! also him doing hisjob to make sure he puts pressure on him. asa make sure he puts pressure on him. as a player, if an opposing coach said something about you in the lead up said something about you in the lead up to said something about you in the lead uptoa said something about you in the lead up to a match, what frame of mind with that leave you in? every individual psyche and how they deal with it, i would be thinking, this isa with it, i would be thinking, this is a good thing, if i was rhys patchell, it shows he knows i can play and dominate, in terms of how wales want to move forward and play more of an expansive game, give the ball more air, he's very good at it. ifi ball more air, he's very good at it. if i was him i would think it was a compliment. then you have to come out and perform it. he is making you know, you have to do it in front of 90,000 people. the six nations, usually important, in the backdrop of all of this, the world cup on the
9:38 am
horizon, that is what eddiejones has been tasked with, masterminding that, our england on the right track, do they have what it takes to win the world cup? look at the statistics, you cannot win this many games and not be on the right track, they are a good team, great strength in depth, finding out more and more they play, the strength in depth. the bench has been outstanding, that came on last week am unbelievable, three tries in the last 15 minutes, fantastic. i think they are in a very strong position. sam simmons steps up, last week in, plays like he did, someone, genuine gas, bit more of a flair player, there will always be a role for him in the team. he is finding out about how strong english rugby is. it is a very good welsh team. yes, scotland we re pooi' very good welsh team. yes, scotland were poor last week but you can only beat what is in front of you and
9:39 am
wales did a clinical professional job on what they did last week will stop i think it will be a good game, always better when there is a little bit... yeah, when there is actually, you know, an open forum, which way it could go, that is what you want, la st it could go, that is what you want, last time, last time wales won here, the world cup, 2014, backstay flying is rugby! hopefully we will not be seen is rugby! hopefully we will not be seen that again later. i think it will be a great game. spoken like a proud endorsement and a proud welshman as well, aged 2000 fans crammed in here, give us a sense, huge occasion, can wales do live?” think they can definitely do it, i think they can definitely do it, i think they can definitely do it, i think they have the ability, to make line breaks and score tries, hanging in there, absorbing pressure from what is a very good side. i think they can sneak in in the last five mids and break english hearts.” will leave them to it, this could get very messy, james, thank you, absolute belter, and it does not

9:42 am
an opportunity to come back in the table, closer to the champions league spot. that is the priority. last season, we were above them. it is not right to focus on them. for me, there is no one favourite, both teams have equality and are powerful and have the quality to win games. lunchtime today. celtic's defence of the scottish cup continues today — they take on partick thistle in the fifth round. celtic mourning the passing of former midfielder liam miller. he has died of cancer aged just 36. fans across the country are in shock with this news, i certainly was, as a leeds van, he play for manchester united and sunderland as well, winning 21 caps with the republic of ireland. a lot of memories coming out about liam miller at various grounds. stop what you are doing, watch this,

9:53 am
behind—the—scenes. all working very ha rd of behind—the—scenes. all working very hard of course. whether it‘s for dog walkers, joggers or feeding the ducks, parks can be a welcome oasis in our towns and cities. but who should pay for them? now, in liverpool, they‘re planning on charging people for permits if they use them in a professional capacity. so with tight council budgets — could this be the answer to paying for parks? claire fallon is in prince‘s park in liverpool this morning. good morning. good morning. miserable weather, but beautiful surroundings, all the same, here is the thing, keeping parks looking beautiful, keeping them safe for the people who use them does cost money, recent yea rs, people who use them does cost money, recent years, council budgets have been squeezed. here in liverpool, what they are talking about, what they will bring in, permit system, meaning people who use the parks in order to make money will have to pay money to use the parks. let me introduce you to a counsellor,
9:54 am
behind the idea, steve, this is difficult, because parks are publicly owned, and we should be able to use them for free. it is not difficult at all, if you are making money out of using parks, personally reasonable that you pay, i don't see why anybody should have a problem with it. if you are organising big concerts and making money, you should pay us, or, smaller offence, a range of new activities. fitness trainers and other things. the charges we are proposing for those activities, £150 a year, less than £3a activities, £150 a year, less than £3 a week, you probably pay that for using a hall for activities. incredibly good bargain. permits for people like personal trainer. incredibly good bargain. permits for people like personaltrainer. not professional dog walkers. we have a park run on here, that will be free as well. how do you tell the difference between a group of friends exercising and a personal trainer? using your nose, really,
9:55 am
local knowledge, friends groups know who is about. we will have two suck it and see. let me introduce you to a personal trainer, you will need a permit. yes, and as a self-employed small business owner, paying extra money, i already paid gym rent as well, obviously i'm not delighted, however, as a resident of liverpool, i feel strongly about green spaces being kept beautiful so if i am earning money, it is like a home office, i do not use it a great deal, but it is not a great deal of money. but, you know, they are public spaces. i do come here for myself, and i do sometimes come here with mates, just to go for a run, i don't want to be approached when iron fist having a nice run out with my friends. thank you very much, thank you for braving the weather. on the new price list, one interesting thing, £350 if you want
9:56 am
