which left 17 people dead, has appeared in court charged with premeditated murder. nikolas cruz went on a killing spree in the town of parkland on wednesday. the fbi is now investigating how it handled a warning that the teenager reportedly posted on youtube claiming he would be a professional school shooter. vigils were held late into the night in tribute to the victims, as nada tawfiq reports. they came to mourn the lives lost and the lives scarred by this senseless attack. neighbours, friends and the students of stoneman douglas high comforted one another as best they could. jed was among the students who ran in panic when the first shots were fired. he doesn't know if he can handle returning to the halls where his classmates‘ lives were cut short. i don't know if i'll be able to cope with just walking through the bottom floor of the freshman building, knowing that everything has been cleaned up... like, everything — you can almost imagine blood on the walls, bodies on the floor. no one is going to be able to walk through that building. no one. all 17 victims have

now been identified. among them talented students, star athletes and aaron feis, a beloved football coach and security guard. he has been called a hero for shielding children from the gunman‘s bullets. nikolas cruz appeared in court briefly on 17 charges of premeditated murder. his lawyer said he was sad and remorseful and described him as a broken human being. the sheriff's office said he confessed to opening fire on his former school. he told authorities he bought a drink at subway and stopped at mcdonald's after the rampage. on social media, cruz often posed with guns and on one post he wrote he would be a professional school shooter. those who knew him were troubled by his behaviour. he's someone who use racial slurs, who was just awful to other people and i'm sure he was bullied himself

by some but he was the type of person where people were scared to bully him because they knew something could happen. theyjust didn't think this would happen. these terrifying scenes of students completely helpless and trembling with fear have shaken the nation and they have reignited the debate on gun control. people here are in a state of shock, that someone from their own community could be capable of such killing, and that their city now joins the long list of america's school shooting tragedies. nada tawfiq, bbc news, parkland, florida. anyone who's been abused by oxfam staff has been invited by the international head of the charity to tell their story and obtainjustice. winnie byanyima said every complaint would be examined by an independent commission, and wrong—doers would be held to account. she said she could not guarantee that there were no sexual predators among 0xfam's almost 10,000 paid workers. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james landale, has been speaking to her. the earthquake that struck in 2010

reduced much of haiti to rubble. but the after—shocks are still being felt by 0xfam. in her native ugandan, 0xfam's global head said sorry for the sexual exploitation carried out by some of her staff in haiti, something she told me she only found out about last week. i'm inviting anyone who has been a victim of abuse to come forward, we're going to dojustice, we abuse to come forward, we're going to do justice, we are torn for the past. right now thousands and thousands of 0xfa m right now thousands and thousands of 0xfam staff doing the right thing in the most dangerous places in the world. she promised a new independent commission to investigate 0xfam's handling of past cases, tougher new checks on staff work references and more cash for safeguarding vulnerable people. changes that might in the future stop 0xfam employing men like roland

van hauwermeiren, its former director in haiti, who has denied paying for sex. translation: some unprofessional journalists are implying that oxfam organises sex orgies using money from donations, which is absolutely untrue. what is true is that oxfam now faces the huge task of trying to rebuild public confidence. winnie byanyima said more oxfam staff could be sacked if they're found to have mishandled past cases, but... we have almost 10,000 staff around the world working in more than 90 countries. the majority of those are doing the right thing. you cannot give that guarantee that there are no sexual predators working for your organisation? how would i be able to guarantee that there is no one who is going to offend? what i can guarantee is that we will build a new culture that doesn't tolerate

that behaviour. what went on in haiti has cost oxfam donations, public trust and celebrity ambassadors. miss byanyima said the organisation was demoralising but she insisted it would survive. what doesn't kill it, she said, will make it stronger. james landale, bbc news. the football association is to review thousands of files to find out how much was known about the abuse carried out by former youth coach barry bennell as part of its internal review. yesterday he was found guilty of another seven counts of sexually abusing boys, meaning he's now been convicted of a total of 43 offences between 1979 and 1990. he'll be sentenced on monday. we will be speaking to two of barry bennell‘s victims on this programme a little later this morning, that's coming up at 6:40am. new figures show a dramatic reduction in the number of young people buying their own homes over the last 20 years. the institute for fiscal studies found that a quarter of those under

the age of 3a, earning average incomes, were able to buy, compared to two thirds in 1998. our finance correspondent simon gompertz has more. so i've been living here a couple of yea rs so i've been living here a couple of years now. . . so i've been living here a couple of years now... 30 years old, keen to buy but shut out of the market. tom wa nts to buy but shut out of the market. tom wants to stop paying rent in brighton but house prices are beyond him. it's completely out of reach at the moment, there's not a chance i'll be able to get the deposit. there's such a cost and with utility bills, the cost of trains going to london, with my brent prices it's just unachievable and my friends, they're all around the same age and none of us are on the property ladder yet. years to give for fiscal studies looked at young people aged 25-34 studies looked at young people aged 25—34 on middle incomes at the moment between around 22000 and 30,000 for a house hold after—tax. in most cases couples with children. two decades ago 65% of those on

middle incomes earned their own homes, that's dropped to just 27%. most of the rest forced to rent. homes, that's dropped to just 27%. most of the rest forced to rentm will cost you more in the long—term if you rent and you're not putting that money towards a mortgage that can eventually be paid off, let's face it. so i think we will see people less disposable income, a smaller savings pot and potentially as well less money to put towards their retirement. high household prices are making young people like tom look further and further afield in the hope of finding something they can afford. simon gompertz, bbc news, brighton. a bbc investigation has revealed a significant difference between the highest earning male and female consultants working for the nhs in england. figures show that one in five of the top 100 earners are women, while on average full—time men owned 111,000 pounds a year more than their female counterparts when including bonuses and overtime. our health correspondent dominic hughes explains. many different organisations have

faced tough questions around the gap in pay between men and women, not least the bbc. now an examination of the pay of consultants, the most senior clinicians working in the nhs in england, reveals it's an issue for the health service to two. on average, consultants earn a basic salary of just over on average, consultants earn a basic salary ofjust over £85,000 a year but they can get paid extra, for example in overtime or special awards for clinical excellence. but when that figure for total pay is broken down for men and women, full—time female consultants earn £14,000 less on average than their male colleagues. and other top 100 owners, just five are female, even though they make up more than a of the workforce. certainly within the nhs there should be no disparities in pay because pay structures are national and are clearly publicised. and so other than for issues of, for

example people working longer hours, there shouldn't be any reason for discrepancies in paid. the government has already announced an independent review of how the gender pay gap can be eliminated in medicine. it might be that men are more willing to work overtime or more willing to work overtime or more likely to apply for an award, but a study in 2009 revealed a similar picture and female co nsulta nts similar picture and female consultants say it's disappointing that these differences still exist. dominic hughes, bbc news. a department of health spokesperson said, "we are committed to ensuring hardworking doctors are rewarded fairly and equally for their work regardless of gender and have commissioned an independent report alongside the medical profession to examine how that can be achieved." britain's bus network has shrunk to levels last seen in the late 1980s, that's according to a bbc investigation. rising car use and cuts to public funding are being blamed for a loss of 134 million miles of coverage over the past decade alone. the campaign for better transport says the scale of the miles lost is a sign that buses are on course to be cut to the same extent railways were in the 1960s.

the hollywood actress jennifer aniston has announced she is to seperate from her husband justin theroux after two years of marriage. the pair, who were married in a secret ceremony in los angeles in 2015, reportedly met on the set of comedy film wanderlust. they gave no reason for the split but said it was a mutual decision which had been lovingly made at the end of last year. it's the beginning of what could well be the biggest annual celebration worldwide, the lunar new year, also known as the spring festival. more than 1.4 billion chinese people around the world marked the official entry into the year of the dog with lanterns, banquets and colourful celebrations. mike is here with the sport. we have been talking about it and it's

happened? it has, you mentioned the year of the dog, now it is the year of the dom, he has one briton's first medal at the winter games, another milestone for skeleton because the first man to win a british medal in skeleton racing since 1948. fantastic. he almost blew it, he came back on the last bend,it blew it, he came back on the last bend, it was touch and go. so another historic day for british sliding, day seven of these winter games has already proved to be a magnificent one for team gb, as ben croucher reports. dom parsons! at last, six days of no medals for great britain, on the mfiéaifi’fisrzfieflfé'fifm that m mfiéaifi’fisrzfieflfé'fifm mag laid mfiéaifi’fisrzfieflfé'fifm that % laid to mfiéaifi’fisrzfieflfé'fifm mag laid to rest. eéaéi/ee 1.224: “wii—wii 3322255923??— 22231 f ——f — "w w parsons eéaéi/ee 1.224: “wii—wii 3322255923??— 22231 7 —w — ..,, w parsons ignsv if! , in ”7 all - his

all he if: his all he this was all he fg was to run. all he had to do now was to off. if he run. all he had to do now was to behind e medai, a first for medal, a first for, a guaranteed a medal, a first for, a british man in the sport since 1948. the misses out by two hundredths of a second. so was that wait for a medal going to continue? parsons didn't have too long to find out, needing a slipup from latvia's martin doctor is. —— martins dukurs. i thought i'd lost it and after that second run, well, forefront, i thought it had gone away. yeah, i looked up at the time, made a couple of mistakes on that run. but martins

made more mistakes and he's the last person i thought would make those mistakes. parsons' mistakes. pa rsons' teammates were mistakes. parsons' teammates were the first to congratulate him as well. elise christie, having suffered her medal agony, was the first to express her delight but could this be a catalyst forgb delight but could this be a catalyst for gb and skeleton? dom doing that, the guys, the development squad behind him have proven it isn't impossible and the girls have got the medals and now the guys have started it with dom and let's see what the future brings more british spell skeleton. now parsons has got britain up and running, the wait for another medal might not be too long, the women could add to it tomorrow. ben croucher, bbc news. you have to look atjennyjones and how it made her a household name a while ago and looking at the effect it will have on dom parsons. he's 30, wanted to be an f1 driver, i'm sure he will settle with skeleton!” think skeleton is more thrilling!m both sports you need huge strong

neck muscles. we will hear from him live later? very exciting. andrew musgrave has just gone off in the 15 kilometre cross—country skiing freestyle, he could get a medal so it could get better today! how are we looking at the moment, matt? good morning. iam in oxfordshire. a stunning surroundings. the alarm clock can be a little bit tough sometimes, but this makes it worthy. this was built in the early 1700 and has been the back drop for films like spectre and mission impossible. we are looking for signs of spring. it is around the corner and numbers

are up at the moment, but we could have those few hints over the next few days. not so much if you are up in the early hours. let's have a look at the forecast. today it is frosty, but a fine day across most parts of the country. we will see some further wintry showers across the north—west, especially across parts of western scotland. there is a little bit of patchy mist and fog which will quickly clear. as you can see there are showers towards the north and west, but very little cloud on the map. it will build towards the west later. if you have a closer look at about three o'clock you can see most places across england and wales are dry. it could bea england and wales are dry. it could be a bit thicker in the west. maybe patchy rain towards northern ireland and still a few showers in scotland. the odd rumble of thunder as well, but nowhere near as many as yesterday. more of us will see the sunshine through today and the winds

will be a bit lighter. still a breezy northern scotland. it will feel reasonably nice. across southern areas feel reasonably nice. across southern areas we feel reasonably nice. across southern areas we could see temperatures into double figures. into the night, we will see a band of rain, sleet and snow into western fringes of england and wales into the morning. the south—east of that we have a frost into the morning and as the skies clear it is showers later in the north—west of scotland. it could be a little bit icy in a couple of. it makes for a cloudy is tight for many. in northern and western parts of england and wales western parts of england and wales we have cloud and outbreaks of rain and maybe a bit of hill snow, which will pull south and east. a few showers in north—west scotland through the day. many will have some sunny spells. not a bad day. again, temperatures on the mild side compared to what we've had of late. we continue that while the theme into saturday night and sunday. more cloud developing through saturday

night and on sunday that will fit in up night and on sunday that will fit in up in western scotland and northern ireland and western fringes of england and wales. further east, especially towards east anglia and the south—east, you may have dry weekend. still a chance of sunny spells, although there will be a fair bit of cloud. we will have hints of spring, but we may see temperatures quite widely getting into double figures and not far off in scotland and northern ireland. before you get too complacent about thinking spring is with us, there are hints at the moment that things could turn much colder again during next week. i will keep you updated. you can never get too optimistic about the weather when you are around, matt. definitely not when i am here! just a joke! the more double figures we see, the more we will feel like we see, the more we will feel like we are stepping into spring. see you later. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the fbi has launched a review over its handling of a warning

about the teenager accused of carrying out a shooting at a school in florida where 17 people were killed. team gb has claimed its first medal of the pyeongchang winter olympics. dom parsons won bronze in the men's skeleton. we will return to our main story this morning and the murder of 17 people. the deadliest us school shooting since 2012. teachers and pupils ran for cover as 19—year—old nikolas cruz began his attack. we will now speak to ivy schamis, a teacher at that school, and she has therefore been directly affect the by what happened and some of the details could be distressing. thank you for taking the time to speak to us. i first question to you is how are you today? pretty

devastated, actually. still thinking about my students. that's completely understandable. if you would, could you just described where you were when you first realised something was happening was that i was actually teaching the history of the holocaust and i have mostly seniors in that classed and i was in front ofa in that classed and i was in front of a big recording and we were finishing up on a recording of the 1936 olympics in berlin when we heard loud pop, pop, and the kids instantaneously go for the door. -- the floor. we didn't question it, it was unmistakable. the kids were all trying to take cover in the classroom. so you realised something was happening. was it immediately apparent it was a shooter? it came

close to where you were. what happens next? there were a lot of stu d e nts happens next? there were a lot of students and so we just tried to go behind my desk, the hind the file cabinet, behind the laptop. they tried to find cover. it was instantaneous, but within seconds the student came to my door and he shot out the whole glass panel in the door and hitting students while he did that. this is the point, this is so awfulfor you, he did that. this is the point, this is so awful for you, i know, he did that. this is the point, this is so awfulfor you, i know, you lost some of the students who were in your class at that time? yes, sir. we didn't know it at the time. he hit several students and they we re he hit several students and they were injured and i didn't realise at that moment will stop two were female and male student who were seniors and ready to go to college soon. seniors and ready to go to college soon. they were killed.”

seniors and ready to go to college soon. they were killed. i really seeking not to distress you any further and i know this is very difficult for you. we now have seen some of the names of the ages of those students. these will be stu d e nts those students. these will be students you know well. 14, 15, 16 and 17 years old. you've had a little time to try to understand a bit more of what happened. watched you of it now? i make no sense of this. it was completely random. com pletely this. it was completely random. completely senseless. this teenager should not have had an assault rifle at all. i don't think we were targeted, i didn't know the shooter, i've been teaching at that school for 17 years and never had him. it isa for 17 years and never had him. it is a large suburban high school, i don't know him, so i think whatever then that he had he just randomly sought out several classrooms and u nfortu nately sought out several classrooms and unfortunately mine was one of them. from what we understand, and explain

this for us, you were explaining how your students reacted, that they did exactly the right thing at the time, notwithstanding the terrible loss that you've suffered within your classroom. but they did the right thing. it was something you had rehearsed for? you had trained your stu d e nts rehearsed for? you had trained your students for? yes. we have been practising because of everything that we've seen on the news, we've been practising what would happen in code black or code red, and we were not ready for shots to be fired in the hallway, we didn't practice for that, but they knew right awayjust to ta ke that, but they knew right awayjust to take cover. no one thought, this isa to take cover. no one thought, this is a drill, no one looked around, they just is a drill, no one looked around, theyjust immediately... is a drill, no one looked around, they just immediately. .. i is a drill, no one looked around, theyjust immediately... i was very proud of them. they immediately ran to find anything to cover themselves and find something to hide behind. they all crowded behind my desk and tried to call 911. it is very early, especially someone so close to the

event as you were, to have these discussions, but i don't know what security measures you had in place at your school and some people are saying there should be an armed police officer in schools now. what do you make of those... that thought process ? do you make of those... that thought process? we have an armed police officer, but it's an extremely large campus and! officer, but it's an extremely large campus and i guess he can't be everywhere all the time. we didn't really see this coming. i... i don't know. i mean, i don't think i should have been armed and i don't think teachers should be armed, as i don't think those teenagers should have had an assault rifle over. i don't know how you get ready for this. just a couple of last thoughts. are you going to be going back to the school itself? i know there have been vigils held. this must be agonising times. very, however i did

go yesterday in the afternoon and i was there for several hours. the stu d e nts was there for several hours. the students felt it was quite therapeutic and we were able to reunite. there are a lot of rumours flying around, but i was injured or killed, so just by seeing each other and being with each other, i have no idea when school will be ready to be in session. given that you were in the classroom when this occurred and the classroom when this occurred and the students you know so well, how do you think you will go about helping them deal with something no young person, indeed no teacher, though people, should ever have to go through? no one should ever. i didn't think i would have to do this either. i just didn't think i would have to do this either. ijust think if i am there for them, i love my students dearly, i feel like if i for them, i love my students dearly, ifeel like if i listen, we listen, and we talk about it and it really does help to talk and listen to what they have to say and just let them know that we love them. we love them. i time this i know it's a

difficult time for you. thank very much. thank you so much. you very much. thank you so much. that's ivy schamis. she was teaching ina that's ivy schamis. she was teaching in a class when the shooter arrived in her school. we will be talking a lot more about that throughout the programme. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm alpa patel. the number of young londoners who own their own home has significantly dropped over the past two decades. a study has revealed that 20 years ago around 47% of 25—34 year olds had bought a property. that dropped down to just 20% in 2016. the research found that the greatest decrease was for those

on middle incomes. a man found dead in westminster tube station underpass on wednesday morning was a former model who had recently applied for a job as a waiter. the homeless charity connection said the man, who has not been names, had stayed at its emergency night shelter. the met said it was treating his death as unexplained, but not suspicious. utility companies could be charged an hourly rate for roadworks which cause disruption. councils across england are to be given the powers following a trial in parts of london which resulted in significantly reduced congestion. passengers on south—western railway could face delays this morning because of industrial action. it's the latest strike in the long running dispute with the rmt union over the role of guards. rmt members will refuse to work any rest days for the next four days. south—western railways say they plan to run all their services, but the union say the action will have a "serious impact". let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the tube, there's no service between chingford and hackney downs

and liverpool street and enfield town and that's because of over—running engineering work. on the trains, disruption on greater anglia, between liverpool street and cheshunt. services are being diverted via seven sisters. it's slow going on the a13. that's westbound from dagenham to barking. no busier than normal, though, for this time of morning. let's have a check on the weather now with lucy martin. good morning. it's a cold start to the day with some of us waking up to a total frost, as temperatures dip low freezing and a few spots. they will be dry and bright, with plenty of wintry sunshine. the best of that through this morning. a cold but bright start. we will see the sunshine perhaps turning hazy as we move into the afternoon. some high clouds pushing in from the south. staying dry and bright with highs of 10 degrees and light south—westerly wind. through this evening and

overnight it will stay dry. perhaps still some high—level cloud, but with clear spells we are looking at a chilly night tonight. temperatures falling to an overnight low of two celsius and freezing. we could see a total frost to start the day tomorrow and a couple of patches of mist and fog. but it will be a bright start to saturday. the best of the sunshine first thing. turning cloudier into the afternoon, with the risk of a light shower and highs of 10 celsius. in the sunday some uncertainty as to the timing of when that will come from the west, at a lookalike bright start and then turning cloudy from the west, with patchy outbreaks of light rain and drizzle later. have a nice day. don't forget, 20 more on our website at the usual address. goodbye. welcome back, you're watching brea kfast welcome back, you're watching breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. here's a summary of

the main stories from bbc news: the fbi is investigating how it handled a warning about the teenager accused of carrying out wednesday's school shooting in florida, which left 17 dead. nikolas cruz, 19, reportedly posted a youtube comment claiming he would be a professional school shooter. tributes were paid to his victims with vigils through the night. the former oxfam director, accused of hiring prostitutes while working in haiti and chad, has denied paying for sex but said he had made some mistakes. in an open letter, he admitted he'd had an intimate relationship with a woman in haiti, but said she was not a prostiture. the international head of the charity has invited anyone who's been abused by oxfam staff to tell their story and obtainjustice. new figures show a dramatic reduction in the number of young people buying their own homes over the last 20 years. the institute for fiscal studies found that a quarter of those under the age of 34, earning average incomes, were able to buy, compared to two thirds in 1998. a bbc investigation has revealed

a significant difference between the highest earning male and female consultants working for the nhs in england. figures show that one in five of the top 100 earners are women, while on average full—time men owned £14,000 a year more than their female counterparts when including bonuses and overtime. only 5% of women among the top 100 owners. the department of health said it's committed to ensuring doctors are awarded fairly equally regardless of gender. the hollywood actress jennifer aniston has announced she is to separate from her husband justin theroux after two years of marriage. the pair, who were married in a secret ceremony in los angeles in 2015, reportedly met on the set of comedy film wanderlust. they gave no reason for the split but said it was a mutual decision which had been "lovingly made" at the end of last year. those are the main stories this

morning. good morning, mike. those are the main stories this morning. good morning, mikem those are the main stories this morning. good morning, mike. it has started, the medal rush for great britain, dom parsons in the skeleton with his bronze and by around 705, we could have a second with andrew musgrave competing in the cross—country seeing —— 7:05am. they have started in the 15 kilometre cross—country skiing but let's focus on the historic moment for dom parsons. the first medal for britain at these games. he thought the medal had slipped away after a couple of errors on his final run in the skeleton, but... latvia's martin stutters when slower guaranteeing great britain a first men's skeleton medal in 17 years. sunbing yun was bird. i thought i'd lost it and after that second run, well, fourth run, i thought it had gone away. yeah, i looked up at the time, made a couple too many mistakes on that run.

but martins made more mistakes and he's the last person i thought would make those mistakes. we were trying to bring you the commentary, it was special, on the final bend, listen to how the commentators reacted here. five hundredths between himself and parsons at the second last term. behind parsons, dom parsons unbelievably has his medal! yes, don! for great britain! unbelievably has his medal! yes, don! forgreat britain! —— unbelievably has his medal! yes, don! for great britain! —— dom. unbelievably has his medal! yes, don! for great britain! -- dom. as a commentator that will be one of the highlights of your whole career, i love the laughter in the background, the uncontrolled, unbridled joy. there's a realisation that the timing is ouredging there's a realisation that the timing is our edging ahead by a tiny little bit. you have to do your bit

and wait for the latvian as well to not quite match your time, which is what happened. next we going to look at andrew musgrave because he is in action in the 15 k cross—country seeing which claims to be the ha rd est of seeing which claims to be the hardest of all winter sports because of the endurance and the pain you go through in training. we can go live to south korea. musgrave is a genuine medal contender. he got a third place in the world cup event in italy in december, so he has done it, he has got form. it's a bit like a time trial, they go out in staggered starts and it's all about the time they can achieve so we should get a split of musgrave's time to see how he's getting on in a few moments. they've been struggling with the weather but it looks like perfect conditions, bright sunshine. when they have been training and

racing here before, it is freezing, but they have got a pleasant day with the sun shining, one of those lovely skiing days when the sun is basking on the piste and you feel a bit of warmth, which must help. it's moments like this when you know they're getting a little bit of relief as they go down the hill. you have to go to the bbc sport website and see how andrew musgrave trains because he goes on roller skis around scotland and norway, and also there is a treadmill for roller skis and he shared this one clip in which he flies off! trying to prove why it's the hardest of all winter olympic sports. are roller skis long versions of roller blades? they are skis with wheels you can go on the road with. that's the live event, are we going to get an idea of the split? not yet. he only started around 6:30am. briefly away from the winter

olympics... scotland will this morning announce alex mcleish as their new football manager. it'll be his second stint in charge of the national side, having left the post 11 years ago. he replaces gordon strachan, who left in october after failing to qualify for the world cup. there was sucess in the last 32 of europa league for celtic. they managed a 1—0 victory over russian side zenit st petersberg at celtic park. calum mcgregor‘s second half winner means they glasgow side have the slight advantage going into the second leg in a weeks' time. meanwhile, the impressive week for english clubs in europe continued with a comfortable 3—0 away win for arsenal against ostersunds. mesut ozil with the last of the goals in their first leg against the swedish side. the women go later on, including laura dees and lizzy yarnold in the skeleton and i have been to see lizzy yarnold in training in germany to see how she feels about becoming the first british athlete to try to

retain an olympic title. we will get the split at some point. see you later. for 25 years, barry bennell lived a double life. publicly lauded as one of english football's best talent spotters, but in private he carried out a campaign of sexual abuse against young boys. he's been convicted of a total of 43 charges relating to assaults carried out between 1979 and 1990. one of his victims was david lean, whojoins us now. good morning. good morning. thank you so much forjoining us this morning. just before we talk in a bit more detail about what happened to you, i'm imagining the events of the past few years, specifically the past few days, must feel very important for you? it is great to finally see justice. i important for you? it is great to finally seejustice. i don't important for you? it is great to finally see justice. i don't feel i got justice finally see justice. i don't feel i gotjustice in 2015, hejust finally see justice. i don't feel i gotjustice in 2015, he just got a two—year sentence, served 12 months. i always knew there was going to be

many more. told everybody there was many more. told everybody there was many more. finally it's been shown there's been many more.” many more. finally it's been shown there's been many more. i think we will go through who you told and who did ordidn't will go through who you told and who did or didn't react appropriately perhaps as we can now say, but what happened to you ? perhaps as we can now say, but what happened to you? it was in the 19805 that you came across barry bennell. it was 79, met him in may at the butlin5 holiday camp, he was the resident football coach there and insta ntly resident football coach there and instantly took a shine to me. the 5e55ions instantly took a shine to me. the sessions were for ten to 14—year—old boys, wa5 sessions were for ten to 14—year—old boys, was only 11. he took a real 5hine, told me he had link5 boys, was only 11. he took a real 5hine, told me he had links to manchester city and alternately after that he wanted me to try and go and play for his feeder team. what did that mean in terms of your parents, they would have been so excited, talented child, every opportunity? absolutely. i was doing quite well at football anyway in my own home town of blackpool. he was basically saying to me, yeah, he's a real 5tar. my dad was never a pu5hy

pa rent real 5tar. my dad was never a pu5hy parent but he was always right behind my dream so it meant everything to my dad a5 behind my dream so it meant everything to my dad as well, he spent time talking to my dad during tho5e 5e55ions spent time talking to my dad during tho5e sessions so he got to know him quite well. there was a point when you were invited to stay at his house while you were on a training camp? we had been writing to each other for about 11 months at that stage. he basically said there is a full—day course on the friday, a soccer coaching course, skills, that's the kind of thing i loved, it was a chance for me to go and state, do the course but it was quite an early start on the friday, so go down thursday, 5tay early start on the friday, so go down thursday, stay over and rather than your dad ru5h up to work on the friday, come down saturday morning to pick you up, so tonight. you were in his house, did the training course, what happened? from the second my dad drove off and we went into the property it was just... com plete into the property it was just... complete attention. he just never

left me alone, he was constantly play fighting with you, tickling, hugging up to you on the couch, rubbing his bristle on your cheeks when he pinned you down but it was all playful at that stage. in the kitchen, whipping you with tea towels, ju5t generally me55ing around. but there was a lot of mass arj and stuff. he was very touchy—feely the whole time —— mass arj. obviously things changed when i got into bed and he came back from getting himself ready and just jumped into bed. david, do you remember the time when you first... we can feel how hard it is even now to recount the5e we can feel how hard it is even now to recount these things. do you remember the time when you first told someone else? believe it or not i don't actually remember it. the first thing i said to my dad when my dad pick me ups on the saturday morning is he'd been trying to get into bed with me but i wouldn't let

him and he slept on the floor. my dad mentioned that to the police at his interview but i've got no recollection of saying that. other than that, the next time i spoke was when i walk into a police station in macclesfield on the fourth of february, 2013, and disclosed. effectively for all those years it was something you had kept inside? yeah. there's a lot of reasons. you know, pure embarrassment, trying to deal with it yourself, the way your own body reacts to the abuse isn't the way you would want your body to react to the abuse. massage in plain terms you were a young man, a young boy, and he was predatory, sexually attacking you? that is confusing for any young child? it messes messes with your head for a long time afterwards. after the abuse the psychological stuff affects you worse. at the start of this conversation you said

there were going to be others, you have spoken to the police and the football association, can you tell us football association, can you tell us initially how you feel you were reacted to as an adult saying what had been going on? generally the police were good with me. i told them there was many, i told them there were many more, he was coaching at that stage for 15 or 20 yea rs coaching at that stage for 15 or 20 years and during that period they are saying he abused six or seven boys who had been found at that stage when i went into the police station and he had been previously convicted for those. are told them there would be many more. i asked to go to the media but they said not to do that because it would ruin my case “— do that because it would ruin my case —— i told. it was the first timei case —— i told. it was the first time i had any... i had used the criminal justice system time i had any... i had used the criminaljustice system in any way, i had no idea how it would go and i told the cps when i had my meeting after they dropped my case on public interest grounds, they said that because he had been convicted prior

to myself that it wouldn't be in the public interest to take my case forward. can ijust ask, david, many people of course, many organisations are asking themselves officially or unofficial league a lot of questions about why he was allowed to do what he did for so long —— and officially. do you take any comfort from that? are you concerned people won't forget about it quickly and would ask the right questions? absolutely. abuse is going on everywhere, sexual abuse is continuing to this day and it will be continuing right through football to this day at grassroots level, i'm absolutely convinced of that. this has got to be something that continues to be in the public spotlight and people continue to campaign. even now there are football clu bs campaign. even now there are football clubs that haven't got the right structures in place to stop this? i'm not talking professional clu bs, this? i'm not talking professional clubs, the game has moved on a long way, but grassroots football everywhere with people in positions of power and trust. i ran a junior

football tea m of power and trust. i ran a junior football team myself for many years and it's very easy for the parents to let you pick their children up, shall we say, and you go and watch anyjunior shall we say, and you go and watch any junior game on the shall we say, and you go and watch anyjunior game on the sidelines this weekend when they get to under 12s, this weekend when they get to under 125, under 13s, very few parents are watching. managers go round and let's be fair, 99% of managers will be fantastic, wonderfully dedicated volu nteers be fantastic, wonderfully dedicated volunteers but they will be that 1%. now these convictions have been made, do you feel you can move on with your life? it will always be there, there's no doubt about that, but it is something now that i want to campaign for. i've been trying ha rd to to campaign for. i've been trying hard to do that and raise awareness and speak publicly about it, but it is still very difficult and raw and emotional and my wife has been fantastic because obviously when we met she had no idea, and so it hit her cold as well. she's been very

supportive. but the justice that i've got now and the feeling that i've got now and the feeling that i've got now is very much going to help. thank you so much for talking to us and for all the work you are doing and for being so brave to talk to us. thank you very much. matt's out at blenheim palace this morning to take a look at today's weather. good morning! good morning! good morning. yes, we are at blenheim palace in oxfordshire this morning. stunning surroundings. the building behind me has history stretching back 300 years. it was the birthplace of winston churchill and it's a world in as the heritage site as well. notjust the building of course, there are beautiful surroundings. parklands, forestry and a lake. we are looking for hints

of spring this morning, but certainly there is still a hint of winter, because it's a cold start the day, a frost. if we take a look at the forecast there is a frost in many parts of the country. temperatures at or below freezing. most will have a fine winter's day with sunshine, but we continue to have showers in the north and west. showers in the north—west will be wintry, nowhere near as abundant as yesterday. and we will see cloud gathered across western areas into the afternoon, which will turn the sunshine hazy. a few showers may be into northern ireland, but it will be across parts of western scotland where you can see the showers coming and going. sleet and snow and maybe thundered mixed in. cabbages for the afternoon, similar to what we've seen afternoon, similar to what we've seenin afternoon, similar to what we've seen in recent days. peaking at about... inaudible. .. seen in recent days. peaking at about... inaudible... given the fact

that the sun has a bit of strength to it, it will feel pleasant in the afternoon. tonight, as we see the sky is clear in southern parts, there will be a frost. northern ireland, maybe the heavy burst of rain. that will keep temperatures up. to the north we will have a frost. to the south, frost as well. through saturday we will see southern and eastern areas staying largely dry through the morning. cloudy into the afternoon. after a speu cloudy into the afternoon. after a spell of rain and drizzle in northern england, wales and the midlands, that will fizzle out. to the north we will have showers and some wintry showers. dry weather around on saturday. some sunny spells and still staying fairly mild. through saturday night we will see the cloud and rain start to ease where we have it in southern areas. but thicker cloud will gradually pushing from the west. temperatures will stay up, so we shouldn't see

much of a frost, but by and large sum eastern areas will still see brea ks sum eastern areas will still see breaks in the cloud, with sunshine. in the west there will be more outbreaks of rain and drizzle, but not the temperatures. single figures only just. most places not the temperatures. single figures onlyjust. most places into double figures by this stage. the weekend, it will be mild. saturday isn't bad for many. in the sunday we will have outbreaks of rain and drizzle out in the west. that's how your forecast is looking. i will bring you more wonderful sites throughout the morning. it will be glorious. thanks very much. it has been 30 years since gcses we re it has been 30 years since gcses were introduced in england, wales and northern ireland, but one subject remains tricky for many. maths. our teenagers rank 27th in the world and that poor performance continues into adulthood. so what's the problem? we're launching a special series to try to find out,

and to show that maths can be interesting — and even fun. brea kfast‘s jayne mccubbin and tim muffet and naga will be taking their maths gcse this summer. revision or learning has begun. let's have a look. we are going back to school. i never knew what this was for. what i rememberfrom my knew what this was for. what i remember from my maths days, knew what this was for. what i rememberfrom my maths days, i rememberfrom my maths days, i remember phone is the size of house bricks. i can't remember much maths. i love learning every day, so if anything i'm going to get to sharpen the old brain and probably really appreciate just how tough it is. good morning. i'm going to be your maths teacher throughout your gcse course. good morning! you may remember me from university challenge. i have a doctorate from

cambridge university. in four months you will be setting —— sitting the maths gcse for real. i set you a challenge, our past gcse paper. how did you find them? really bad. for me, expand and simple five. what does that even mean? it's just a terminology which i haven't used for like 30 odd years. hearing you say thatis like 30 odd years. hearing you say that is already making me feel a bit nervous. what did i get that school from maths in old money? i got a d. i hope i can help make it a bit more at the end of it. i quite enjoyed remembering some of the maths i used to do. i love algebra. i did my maths gcse a couple of years early and got an a. i always loved maths,

but i will be honest, i haven't seen a paper in years. this is how you measure the area of the circle and the circumference of a circle. 0k, pythagoras theorem. can anyone tell me? hypotenuse. jane, do you know what a squared is? if it is three centimetres? nine. i know! shouldn't be thinking this, but i am thinking i haven't got a maths brain. there's no such thing as a maths brain. people have a negative or positive experiences to maths and that leads them to think they can or can't do maths. how important is it for parents to not give off this message being i'm terrible at maths, i don't understand it? 5096 of working age adults have the new brucie skills you would expect of an 11—year—old. so they haven't got a

clue when their kids ask them for help. if we are going to change the way maths is perceived in the country, have to work with adults as well. i think we are going to enjoy it. i'm going to be the positive one. i wonder if i'm beyond that point in my life and it's too late. we can do this. one fear down, 58 to go. can we do it? yes, we can! you saw him dead, one of the biggest maths brains in business and he is helping us that the morning. —— saw < kim good morning. why do 70 people a problem with maths? it isn't an easy subject but it is also an image problem. there is a perception that there is a maths brain, people can do it or not. i think that's wrong. secondly there is a perception that it is almost like a badge of honour

to say you can't do maths and that's something i want to tackle.” to say you can't do maths and that's something i want to tackle. i think our teenagers are 27th in the world. that's not good for business or future. absolutely. we need to find a way of encouraging kids to become better at maths and parents and adults to change their attitude towards it, they can support their children. i was one of those annoying kids that really enjoyed doing your times table when you got up doing your times table when you got up and you could only sit down when you got it right. that's intimidating for a lot of children, the way it is taught. sometimes it is binary, right or wrong, but i think we need to change the way that is perceived. mathematics is more than getting the right answers. it's about creative thinking and if we can move it to see the exciting part of it. something we are excited about is you have set up the challenge this morning, which we can do at home. shall we explain it? it

is the year of the dog, so i am going to be hosting a handover party at the zoo for the top dogs. iii—31.2??? 222 $212,111? 222 5252—522
