today at 5 — the university researcher from birmingham described as the worst child sex offender ever discovered online. matthew falder admitted 137 offences. police say he used the so—called dark web to try to evade the authorities. it's a really tricky starting point. and then what you've got is people like him, who are using all the tools in the tool box that are available to him to stay hidden. some of falder‘s victims attempted suicide. we'll have the latest from birmingham crown court. the other main stories on bbc news at five... theresa may sets out a major review of university education in england after concerns over the cost of a degree, but she rules out scrapping tuition fees. i believe, as do most people, including students, that those who benefit directly from higher education should contribute directly to the cost of it. that's only fair. some of the victims of barry bennell outside court today, after the former football coach

is jailed for 31 years for abusing young players. after protests over the florida school shooting, president trump signals he'll support improved background checks for people who buy guns. the bafta goes to... three billboards. and triumph at the baftas for three billboards. the film brought to the screen by a british—born writer and director and with british funding. it's five o'clock. our main story is that a university lecturer, described by us officials as "the worst child exploitation offender" they'd ever found on the internet, has been jailed for 32 years. matthew falder, who's 29 and worked at birmingham university,

had admitted 137 offences including sharing extreme child pornography and encouraging the rape of a child. the operation to catch falder included law enforcement agencies across the world. our correspondent sima kotecha reports from birmingham crown court. what is it i have done? what is it i am supposed to have done? matthew falder being arrested at his workplace last year. the 29—year—old spent years posing as a female artist online to trick his victims into sending him naked pictures of themselves. distributing indecent images of children. he then we said their profiles on social media and use that information to blackmail them into sending him or images. he even installed secret cameras in people's homes. matthew falder contacted more than 300 people worldwide, offering money in

exchange for photos. his youngest victim was just 13. one of his victims told us she can no longer trust anybody. i didn't want to stay at all because he knew lived. i couldn't concentrate on anything. i couldn't concentrate on anything. i couldn't talk to my family and i felt like i was ashamed of what i was doing. i didn't want to go out on the street because he might be there. i didn't feel safe anywhere. last year, he pleaded guilty to 137 charges, including encouraging the rape of a child and possessing a paedophile manual. you've got the victim, might have an e—mail contact, that's it. so it's a really tricky starting point. what you've then got is people like him who are using all the tools in the tool box that are available to him to stay hidden. he was under surveillance for several mauricejunior hidden. he was under surveillance for several maurice junior dale full—year investigation. the cambridge graduate this identified by the national crime agency. for the first time, it worked with

artery disease across the world such as the fbi, the australian federal police and get the ball to find the man who was behind the messages. contacts were made with people in slovenia, victims in a united states, victims in london, wales and scotland. we then had to try and piece together information across many different police forces. matthew falder lived in his block of flats and worked at birmingham university. 0fficers flats and worked at birmingham university. officers say that his motivation was power and control and he wanted his victims to feel embarrassed and humiliated. and he was confident he could outwit the authorities. he reached out to vulnerable people, seeking work on websites such as gumtree with the intention of manipulating them. he used names such as 666 devil and evil mind" the back next —— dark

bet. he wrote 0f he wrote of one of his victims, i should be able to get some good needed nudes. in court, the paedophile showed no remorse. the judge told him, you wanted to assume total control over your victims and you were cruel and manipulative. joining me now from our birmingham studio is matt sutton — the national crime agency's senior investigating officer on the case. thank you for coming to talk to us. when we talk about complexity in this case, what are you referring to principally? the complexion is that we have a manhunt trying to identify an individual who has remained anonymous for a number of years. with very little to go on, using intelligence resources and covert techniques stretching across

different types. all this causes is difficulty and makes the job complex. yes. what was the breakthrough, the main breakthrough that you would tell viewers was the one that really did help you identify this man? so, by reaching out to law enforcement partners across the world, including intelligence partners in the uk, we we re intelligence partners in the uk, we were able to use all the latest assets and techniques and other covert techniques in which we could try and whittle down that pool of suspects which started off quite large. that gave us a possible area and from that, we could whittle it down further to the point where i was able to look at an individual i considered to be a person of interest. and from that, after some time and surveillance, until such time and surveillance, until such

time asi time and surveillance, until such time as i could say for certain, we arrested him. how long did it take before you had the name and you do you're after? he was named as a suspect in april and i was satisfied they had sufficient intelligence in which to effect an arrest injune. at the same time, i had to ensure that whilst he was at large, so to speak, then he was not at risk to others. there was very close surveillance on that individual to make sure that he wasn't causing any harm to others. and was the international corporation... you have mentioned it, but underline how important it was to work with other agencies to get that breakthrough. the internet has no geographical boundaries. child sex offending is the same offence across the world. it makes sense that the techniques

and methods that are used in other parts of the world, we bring them together to try and stop these individuals that seek to remain anonymous. anonymity on the internet is the current curse of the internet. and as the internet gets better and faster, so do these and an icing techniques become ever more difficult. the more agencies and countries there are helping us to work together, whenever that person may be, the better it is for children to stay safe online. and the quicker we can identify them and bring them tojustice. the quicker we can identify them and bring them to justice. just to get a better idea of how technologically advanced this man was, was he using techniques only available to a limited number of people or are they techniques he is using which are available to millions? techniques available to millions? techniques available to millions? techniques available to millions. if that is the case, i am sure lots of people watching at all will be thinking, what is the nature of your

capability to fight back? perseverance, the gathering and analysing of huge amounts of data in order to look for clues which will lead us eventually to the individual. it's very similar to a manhunt in the physical world, where you don't know who it is but you gathering that evidence in until you get a clue that point in a certain direction. 0nce get a clue that point in a certain direction. once you've got the country, that brings your suspect pulled down and it is the same online as it is offline. the only difference with offline as they never meet anybody afford anyone not. becky minnock asians from the comfort of their own residence. you mentioned the how the web is developing and getting faster. techniques are getting more difficult to penetrate. is your ability to fight this keeping up with that not? we are trying to. it

isa with that not? we are trying to. it is a fast changing world. as we try to have faster computers, better software, ta ken out to have faster computers, better software, taken out of the software, updates continually. all these things create... we use and expect to work. the criminals use them, just like we need to defeat them. it is ever—changing, really. we have to run to keep up. a final point. what does today's is therefore symbolise for you in the fight you have been mounting in this really distressing area for so many people? two things. 0ne area for so many people? two things. one is to bring anonymity on the web to the fore. the other is that this individual targeted our most vulnerable in society. he found it easy to do that. my only advice to people is, please do not share such material of anybody you don't know online that you don't wish to. because that person may not be using the art. had a view to talk to us.

thank you very much. the senior investigating officer with the national crime agency. 0ur thanks to him. theresa may has been setting out what she says is a wide—ranging review of education for students in england after the age of 18. in a speech in derby, she acknowledged that the cost of getting a university degree was a cause of serious concern for people. she said the current system of charging maximum annual fees of more than than nine thousand pounds had not resulted in the "competitive" market hoped for. a university education in england is now one of the most expensive in the world. labour says the entire system needs to be restructured. 0ur political correspondent ben wright has this report. a prime minister who had free university tuition visits sixth formers in west london to discuss student debt and the courses they plan to take. i will be going to university... 0ne mentions theoretical physics. oh, gosh! which is the reaction many students and their parents now have about

the 5¥5t5r5 55555 $5 ww as theresa may explained in derby, this review will look at all post—18 education, whether universities, technical, or vocational training. the current problems, she said, were clear. making university truly accessible to young people from every background is not made easier by a funding system which leaves students from the lowest income households bearing the highest levels of debt. with many graduates left questioning the return they get for their investment. and for those young people who do not go on to academic study, the routes into further technical and vocational training today are hard to navigate. the standards across the sector are too varied and the funding available to support them is patchy. and she said the whole system of student funding would be reviewed. our goal is a funding system which provides value for money for graduates

and taxpayers, so the principle that students as well as taxpayers should contribute to the cost of their studies is an important one. currently, english universities are free to charge up to just over £9,000 a year. depending on the course. however, only a handful charge less than the maximum. graduates in england now leave university with average debts of more than £50,000. that's because interest rates on student loans now stand at 6.1%. in scotland, there's free university tuition for scottish students. welsh ministers set their own level of university fees. with labour promising to scrap tuition fees altogether in england, there's political pressure on the conservative government to tackle the issue. you have to be fair to the student and the taxpayer. what we need to do is dramatically reform higher education in our country, support further education and the work it does for degree apprenticeships. we have to make sure that disadvantaged students get to the best universities and get good jobs at the end of it.

within this review, the government will consider the reintroduction of maintenance grants. but there's even dispute amongst students about the policy trade—offs involved. when i applied for university, i knew that i was going to get into debt of over £50,000. so, students like me who come from working—class backgrounds are going to have to take out more loans. and that puts students off. i would be very disappointed if my party set tuition fees to six grand if that was at the expense of losing bursaries for underprivileged backgrounds. i think one of the key conservative values is helping people to help themselves. the government is keen to show that it has a policy agenda beyond brexit. ministers are not saying that the state should be picking up the bill for university tuition. and the challenge for the government is coming up with a set of policies that don'tjust look like a pale imitation of what labour is offering.

but cranking up fees to £9,000 was meant to create the market theresa may now wants to see. she's in search of the silver bullets which will give lower fees but not lead to escalating costs for the government. i'm afraid there isn't a silver bullet. there are choices to be made. and i suspect she's trying to put those choices off until after brexit. number 10 is also stressing this year—long review will cover technical and vocational education as well. and the rebalancing of post secondary education away from universities towards vocational study could be the biggest change being considered. let's pick up with this. joining us from oxford is sir anthony seldon, vice—chancellor of buckingham university. it is a private university. very good to have you with us. what should be the real guiding principles of this review?” should be the real guiding principles of this review? i think they are still all students. —— weirdness to all students. and encouraging more people from all backgrounds to go to university. to do more for students abroad to come to our world—class universities.

also, we need to look at the quality that the universities are able to offer and to recognise that that comes with money to invest in the quality education for students and new buildings and facilities. i think it's a very good thing that the prime minister has called this review. for far too long, the prime minister has called this review. forfar too long, there's been a lot of ignorance been a lot of concern and ignorance about is been a lot of concern and ignorance about - is going been a lot of concern and ignorance about- is going on with higher about what is going on with higher education. and its funding. this should get it out into the open and with luck, a better and fairer system that tries economics excess for the country but also fearless for the country but also fearless for more students without, might i add, neglecting the pure subjects. higher education is all left brain and right brain. it's notjust about giving students the skills for work. it's also about the humanities. it's

about giving them a sense of the creative side that our economy and society needs in the future, also. point of principle on tuition fees. some people want that entire question to be revisited. do you think the principal and the basis of ajewish in think the principal and the basis of a jewish in the system is the right one? —— of a tuition fee system. a jewish in the system is the right one? —— of a tuition fee systemlj one? —— of a tuition fee system.” do. ican one? —— of a tuition fee system.” do. i can see where labour is coming from. it would be hard to go back to a system whereby it is done through taxes. there are issues about why people should not benefit —— could not benefit from going to university and should pay for it. since tuition fees have come in, the number of stu d e nts fees have come in, the number of students from deprived backgrounds has not fallen, but increased. so i think it is much more about keeping tuition fees but stopping the

relentless increase and doing much more to look at the interest rate. 6.1% is far too high. but also, critically, maintenance grants also. we're talking of course about the system in england. 0ther we're talking of course about the system in england. other parts of the uk of course have different systems in terms of the provision and in terms of the support students have stopped can england learn from other parts of the uk? scotland has the old system. you know, maybe. but we can't go back to that, i think. i don't think that is now practically, politically or financially possible. soi politically or financially possible. so i think we have to mitigate the downsides of these really intense burdens on students and ridges that figure. —— and reduce that figure. it is very stressful for the and it is not right that the carry—forward

these huge debts. maintenance grants, we absolutely need to look at. more needs to be looked at to encourage people from all backgrounds to go down vocational and technical education. that has a lwa ys and technical education. that has always been a bit of a cinderella in this country. i think we do need to look more that two year degrees. my own university offers them, some others do. they're not for every young person but it does get you into employment more quickly. and undoubtedly it would suit more stu d e nts undoubtedly it would suit more students than currently are able to benefit from them. one other question, allied to this, to do with performance in education. in risk is, vp of vice chancellors. —— vp of vice chancellors. we have done a lot about that in the last few months. what is your view on that?” about that in the last few months. what is your view on that? i think vice chancellors do an extraordinary way difficultjob. 0ur universities

are one of the great pride in the country. we are top of... we are at the top of many league tables in the world. they are extraordinary contributors to our national and regional economy. but i do think that vice chancellors have slightly lost the plot here. because e 15115' and ' " ' p59 of real financial hardship. not time of real financial hardship. not just for students but for support and academic staff as well. i actually don't blame the vice chancellors. i do blame the governors and remuneration committees who have let it go not too high. it would be good if we took the steam out of this issue and we re took the steam out of this issue and were seen as a group of vice chancellors to be responding to this really widespread concern. but i think they're doing a greatjob and in other walks of life, they would

deserve the salaries they get. good to talk to you again. thank you very much. this is bbc news. the headlines: a paedophile is jailed for 30 years after admitting 137 offences, including encouraging the rape of a child. matthew falder used the so—called dark web to try to evade the authorities. theresa may sets out a major review of university education in england after concerns over the cost of a degree, but she rules out scrapping tuition fees. former football coach barry bennell is jailed for 31 years for abusing young players. ajudge calls him the "devil incarnate". in sport... gb women's curling teams match a narrow win. this time over switzerland. they are joint fourth in the table with the top four

bennell and last week. last thursday, he was found guilty of the remaining charges he was facing a liverpool crown court. today he was sentenced. it was a 2—part healing. the first hour was the victim impact statements. victims of him over the yea rs statements. victims of him over the years talking about how it affected their lives and how they still had nightmares all these years on about the abuse they suffered as children. this afternoon, the actual sentencing of barry bennell by the judge who said that no prison sentence could begin to address the harm and damage done to the victims of barry bennell. it was said that the young footballers barry bennell abused so him as a god when they first met him but in reality, he was the devil incarnate. afterwards, on the devil incarnate. afterwards, on the steps you, some of his victims or waive anonymity came out and gave therefore somewhat refiled about the long sentence that barry bennell was

given today. —— and gave their thoughts on the long sentence. we can now move on with our lives save in the knowledge that our abuser is locked away and can no longer cause us any harm. today we looked evil in the face and we smiled because barry bennell, we have won. today we hand our shame and our guilt and our sadness back to you. it should never have been ours to carry in the first place. the offences happened when we were children, and now we are men. we did not forget — we came after you and now you are in prison due to us. if an ymore survivors wish to come forward and unlock the suffering, please do so. the hurt is not yours to carry, it is his. it was quite fraught and emotional in court, especially when the victim impact statements were read out. one

man did so and to the dock were barry bennell was sitting and said, why, barry, why? we had from another man who confessed to his fatherjust two years ago that he was abused as a child. his father said, two years ago that he was abused as a child. his fathersaid, i two years ago that he was abused as a child. his father said, i wish i was a better bad you. the victim said that broke his heart to his own father say that. what happens next? thejudge says father say that. what happens next? the judge says everyone should go away and think carefully about whether to bring more cases against barry bennell. he will be only 79 yea rs old barry bennell. he will be only 79 years old for he will be considered for any parole. the judge said there was no reason why some for any parole. the judge said there was no reason why some of the victims did not pursue civil cases against the football clubs involved in the case. that is manchester city and crewe. so we probably haven't had the end of this. danny savage in liverpool. the meat supplier russell hume, which has been at the centre

of a food hygiene scandal, has been placed in administration with the loss of 266 jobs. the derby—based firm has been under investigation since the food standards agency uncovered what it said were "serious" issues during an unannounced inspection at its premises in birmingham. president trump has signalled he'll support a bipartisan effort to improve a national system of background checks for gun purchases in the wake of the florida school shooting. it comes after student survivors of the attack announced plans for a national march on washington to urge congress to take action on gun control. pupils led protests in florida over the weekend, where survivor emma gonzalez singled out the president. there's been one tweet that i would like to call attention to. so many signs that the florida shooter was mentally disturbed, even expelled for bad and erratic behaviour. neighbours and classmates knew he was a big problem. must always report such instances doth oddities again and again. we did, time and time again. since he was in middle

school, it was no surprise to anyone who knew him to hear that he was the shooter. those talking about how we should have not ostracised, you didn't know this kid! 0k? should have not ostracised, you didn't know this kid! ok? we did! we know they are claiming there are mental health issues and i am not a psychologist, but we need to pay attention to the fact that this isn't just a attention to the fact that this isn'tjust a mental health issue. he wouldn't have time that many stu d e nts wouldn't have time that many students with ice! —— with a knife! joining me now from washington is our correspondent gary 0'donoghue. let's talk about this signal by the president of a possible moves on background checks. what can you tell us? in florida today, two more funerals. a 15—year—old and 14—year—old being laid to rest today. the white house saying that it will support some renewed efforts

to bring some sort of bipartisan gun laws forward. i have to say, they are incredibly modest proposals that are incredibly modest proposals that are being suggested. they have effectively a law to enforce the law that already exists on the statute book. it relates to background checks. 0ther book. it relates to background checks. other people believe there are holes in the register to which those checks go. they are not reported, the offences people commit reported, the offences people commit reported, which would generally exclude them from buying a gun. senators want those loopholes closed up, effectively to make the law do what it ought to do now. that's been signalled from the white house is something they would agree with. meanwhile, those young people, you saw that example they are, of the anger and fury. they will take that florida capital, tallahassee, to lawmakers on tuesday. and the big march planned for the middle of

march here in washington, dc. where a lot of people are expecting to come to lobby congress and the white house. gary, many thanks for the update with the latest from the white house. ina in a moment, the headlines for you. then we will have a full update on the day's sport and the latest from the winter olympics in hyeon chung. that's coming up but in the meantime, time for the day's weather. quite a lot of cloud out there. markey, misty and mild for monday. glances of sunshine to be enjoyed. 0ur weather watchers have been seeking them out. this comes from graham in stirling. glances of blue sky. in the evening, things remain cloudy and wild for some places. there is rain around in some points. you can see the fans of rain across eastern england and scotland. the

next band of rain moved southwards and east was overnight. by tomorrow morning, the rain is across eastern england and then to was the south—east but clearer skies further west across the uk. mostly frosty night, site refresher conditions of all we have clear skies. east anglia and the south—east bella —— are bearing the brunt of the cloud. the rest of the country enjoying a nice day. temperatures reaching double figures in some areas. it is called in the east. if we look ahead to was the end of the week, temperatures just dipping by a degree or so. a lot of dry weather but things are set it on significantly colder later this week. —— are set to turn significantly colder. this is bbc news — the headlines. a paedophile is jailed for 30 years after admitting 137 offences — including encouraging the rape of a child. matthew falder used the so—called dark web to try to evade the authorities. theresa may sets out a major

100 other russian athletes to compete. there is very good pretesting prior to the games were the russian athletes were tested to a significant level. but when an athlete is caught for doping, of course it is extremely disappointing but it shows the system works. the decision to allow athletes to compete here attracted criticism before the games so this positive

test raises uncomfortable questions for the olympic authorities. at the alert —— opening ceremony the russian athletes had to plead under a neutral flag. the russian athletes had to plead under a neutralflag. the committee considered lifting their band for their closing ceremony but canny after this? it is really frustrating. you don't want any positive doping but for a country where you were told all the athletes would be clean, it is hard to take. there was an encouraging name for the men's team, victory over denmark boosting their hopes for that semifinals. 0n the snow however, aimee fuller's hopes came to a painful end. the event is called big here but in this case not quite enough. she posted this picture, bruised but thankfully not worse. redemption for this year who booked her place in the half pipe final

four years later. a long wait but well worth it. a long wait but well worth it. the women's curlers are also edging towards the semi finals. another close one against switzerland today. it's getting to the must win stage of the competition. in the end it came down to a battle of the skips — eve muirhead once again keeping her cool to land the final hammer in just the right place to win 8—7. that puts them in joint fourth place in the standings — they need to remain in the top four to guarantee their place in the semi finals. japan and canda next. drama over in the two man bobsleigh event. canada's justin kripps and alexander kopacz — clocked a time of three minutes 16.86 seconds after four runs. the exact same time as the german pair francesco friedrich and thorsten margis. making it a dead heat! this means they will share the olympic title — which is the first time that's happened in 20 years. and in rugby league — england have reappointed australian wayne bennett as head coach on a two—year deal. the 68—year—old guided the side to last year's world cup final, where they lost 6—nil to hosts australia.

depsite signing the new contract there's no guarantee he will lead england into the 2021 tournament. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. this includes an medal table for the winter olympics. and we'll have more for you in sportsday at half past six. thank you very much. let us pick up on our main story today. a university lecturer — described by the department of us homeland security as ‘the worst child exploitation offender‘ it had ever found on the internet — has been jailed for 32 years. matthew falder, who's 29 and worked at birmingham university, had admitted 137 offences including sharing extreme child pornography,

encouraging the rape of a child, and blackmailing people into filming themselves carrying out degrading acts. some of his victims attempted suicide. jamie bartlett is a journalist and author of the dark net: inside the digital underworld. good to have you with us. we talked a lot about the dark net, there will be lots of people watching who know what it is but some will not so let us have a definition. it is a network of a few thousand websites which use a very clever encryption syste m which use a very clever encryption system so you cannot locate the wet —— the servers as to where the beast. that means the authorities can see the sights but they cannot re move can see the sights but they cannot remove them. —— where they are released. they use an anonymous web

browser which makes a hard for the authorities to link the online user with a real—world person because it encrypts the address of the site which makes it difficult to connect the two together. is this new technology or more advanced technology? the anonymous web browser on the dark web is a few years old now. it is not completely new. the biggest difference is that it is spreading. people for various reasons now had reason to use encryption. they want to keep themselves safe online, not for legal reasons but for privacy reasons so development over the last few years has made this more easily usable. you do not need to be a tech nerd to know how to keep yourself safe. as ever, criminals are using this stuff as well. how difficult is

it for police and agencies across the world to be technologically on the world to be technologically on the same curve and keeping up with advances? i be resourced to the angle that the —— to the level that they need? i think this is a much bigger problem. i know the authorities have worked really hard over the last couple of years to get up over the last couple of years to get up to speed. they make the occasional breakthrough like this one but the problem is this took several police authorities several years to find one person. an international effort. an international effort. an international effort. an international effort and they are following these leagues around the internet which covers lots of jurisdictions which makes it time—consuming. that means that a lots of less offenders but they do not have the time to track them down. that is a bit of a crisis for the police when it comes to internet claim, so much of it goes and prosecuted. it is not so much

technical rehab —— know—how as a resource. they know it is there and if they had more money they could do more about it but it is so much more expensive now. when you look at what you have done, you talk about the digital underworld. if you were to be asked, what is the digital underworld all about? is it to do with pornography or drugs? the dark net that we are talking about today, it is a very difficult one because originally it was a lot of whistle—blowers originally it was a lot of whistle— blowers and human originally it was a lot of whistle—blowers and human rights activists who are there as well using the same network but yes, you can buy this in legal marketplaces like on amazon. the truth is that is still a relatively small part of the internet, kramer takes place there is often very serious but a lot more

day—to—day crime is taking place on the formal internet. this individual was finding people and untruths. it is taking place all over the internet. —— finding people and gum tree. you have had incredibly good cooperation between different states, the uk and europol for example, so this is a good advert for that kind of cooperation but you say that is to do with extreme levels of encryption but if it takes that amount of effort to do with one extreme crime, what on earth is going and dealt with?” extreme crime, what on earth is going and dealt with? i think that is it. you will have people who are committing relatively low—level crime, a qb hacking or other types of abuse, based crime, a qb hacking or other types ofabuse, based in crime, a qb hacking or other types of abuse, based in a town somewhere in england and local constabulary will to look into that and they do not have the time and the resource

is to coordinate with the fbi and interpol and europol so at the very top level, the authorities are doing a good job of trying to get on top of this. the high—profile cases like this serve a valuable role in reminding people, we can come after you but below that there is a lot going on which unfortunately is just beyond the police. thank you very much for coming in. it's emerged that three of the 0xfam employees — accused of sexual misconduct in haiti — physically threatened witnesses during an investigation in 2011. the charity has published an internal report — which said more needed to be done to prevent problem staff — working for other charities. but despite the warnings — several men linked to the alleged abuse did subsequently take up roles at other charitable organisations. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. those operations have become

an industry which has spread into 80 countries. for more than half a century 0xfam has been helping those in need, such as these victims of conflict in nigeria in the late 1960s but that hard—won reputation has been put at risk by the behaviour of some staff in haiti in 2011. an internal report published today shows one was dismissed and three resigned for using prostitutes on 0xfam premises. two more were dismissed for bullying and intimidation, one of whom also downloaded pornography. and another man was sacked for failing to protect staff. what some mps want is for offenders to be placed in a public register.” do not think these reports should be secret, once it is out in the open we can do something about it and thatis we can do something about it and that is what i'm going to ask, for a central register so we can lead the

world and so we can know that anybody we have got the money —— given money to, any charity will have procedures in place and children and women are absolutely safe. the report says three suspects physically threatened witnesses during the investigation. this shocked the prime minister. the behaviour we have discovered is far below the behaviour we expect from ngos and we understand from further revelations that actually there was physical intimidation of witnesses. this is absolutely horrific and the problem we see far too often that people do not feel they can come forward to let people know about the action and the behaviour they have been on the receiving end of. oxfam shops have been a familiar sight for many years but this morning it was said they have a long way to go to restore public trust. let's get more now on the prime

minister's announcement of a year—long review of higher education in england. among the things being considered will be how much students pay for their tuition. at the moment fees are a maximum of £9,250 a year. this is to do with england, not the rest of the uk. 0ur political correspondent matt cole has been working with the bbc reality check team and can tell us more. take us through the current landscape? the current system for england arrived in 2012. you might remember some of the rising around westminster, it was quite controversial. universities were allowed to charge £9,000 a year. most of them dead for pretty much every subject. if we look at this graph, apartfrom every subject. if we look at this graph, apart from a momentary dip after the high fees came in, this did not stop the ever—increasing

numbers applying to university. from 4000 applications in 1994 to nearly 700,02017. this, despite the fees being an international high. we have another graph, look at the comparison to other nations there. we can see in the united states and germany, where it is three, english fees are higher. students in england to pay more than northern ireland, in scotland it is free to scottish students. if student numbers are going up — what's the argument for cutting the fees — who will it help? counterintuitively it seems, because of the way you pay fees back, cutting fees would probably help the more well—off, not the poor students. students with wealthy pa rents students. students with wealthy

parents who paid off straightaway, they never faced any interest so cutting the fees mean they less money. the vast majority of people who pay back their fees over 30 yea rs, after who pay back their fees over 30 years, after which you don't have to pay, they years, after which you don't have to pay. they pay years, after which you don't have to pay, they pay a monthly percentage of their salary, 9% over £21,000 a year. many do not pay that money back. if the rack up £50,000 as a total, they will not pay that in 30 yea rs total, they will not pay that in 30 years so cutting it back, they would not pay that either. they do not benefit from fees being cut either. so is this system as fair as it could be? what is the consensus of experts?m depends on what- a smaller with this. an example, a smaller percentage of people from poor backgrounds go to university than the percentage of middle—class people who go to university so if

you're trying to solve that as an issue, the government could alter the maintenance system. all students receive a non—means tested loan to cover their costs. that means they would be borrowing more if they were from the poor bracket. this threshold at which you start paying could be going up. the higher you raise it, those on lower incomes do not need to pay at all. you could look at interest payments. if you earn a little, the longer you take to pay off, the interest—rate goes up to pay off, the interest—rate goes up so if you cut the interest rate this could cut long—term debt. it depends on what you're trying to solve. do you want more people to go to university? until you decide what you're trying to achieve, you cannot come up with solutions. thank you

very much. that was the latest on the university figures following the speech of the prime minister today. this is bbc news at five — the headlines: the labour party has dismissed claims that its leaderjeremy corbyn had cooperated with a spy from the former czechoslovakia. it says the claims were a ‘ridiculous smear‘. 0ur political correspondent eleanor garnier is at westminster. what kind of noises as the beats having at westminster? these are claims that were made by a 65—year—old man who was a former czechoslova k 65—year—old man who was a former czechoslovak spy. he said he met the labour leader several times during the 1980s and claims mr corbyn was recruited as a paid informer who knowingly collaborated with their czechoslova k knowingly collaborated with their czechoslovak secret police. this story was reported in slovakia but also hear about the daily mail, the

sun and the telegraph. he does not go into much detail about the incident about what information mr corbyn past. he joked incident about what information mr corbyn past. hejoked that incident about what information mr corbyn past. he joked that they knew what breakfast mrs thatcher was having as well as lunch and dinner. ina having as well as lunch and dinner. in a statement, mr corbyn said the man was a fantasist and becoming more absurd by the day. even his own accou nts more absurd by the day. even his own accounts appear to be changing. the statement goes on to see the ridiculous smears should be given no credence whatsoever so today the bbc spoke to the head of the czech security services archive. they are in charge of all the former secret police file. my colleague spoke to the head of the archive in prague. translation: mr corbyn was not a secret collaborator working for the czechoslovakian intelligence service. the files we have on him are in a folder which starts

with the identification number one. secret collaborators start with the number of four. if he had been successfully recruited as an informer, then his person of interest file would have been closed and a new one opened and that would have started with a four. so if i understand correctly, the way the files are numbered and organised simply suggest to you thatjeremy corbyn, in the eyes of the stb was never anything more than a person of interest, a potential collaborator but not an informer? this is exactly what we believe. the abbreviation used in front of his file number translates as prospective contacts. above that was rt. that did not mean that person had agreed to collaborate so he stayed

in that basic category. in fact he is still described as that, as a person of interest, in the final report issued by the stb agent shortly before he was expelled from the uk. so in the eyes of the czech security service he was a potential collaborator. potential being the keyword. not surprising that the checks were around international politicians who were in favour of the liberation struggle. the question is did the english —— recruit him? question is did the english —— recruit him ? the question is did the english —— recruit him? the answer seems to be emphatically no. jeremy corbyn‘s office has been clear, yes, he had meetings with diplomats from the czech embassy but they categorically denied that the diplomat was a secret police agent. many thanks for
