fit is used 4m fii’itilla'fte, 2018. yes, it is used to titillate, all of this, that is ok, that is fine, that it is more than just that, it has gone beyond that now, it is taking on its own life form, just because it has a foundation does not mean it has to stop there. that open attitude is shared by the ca re that open attitude is shared by the care home itself, hearing christ church, ina care home itself, hearing christ church, in a statement they have said that all the pole dancers were wearing gym kit and the residents, some of whom have dementia, were given the option of attending the session. it said both residents and relatives are happy with what happened. the home also says pole dancing could become an olympic sport. but do others think it is right for elderly residents?” sport. but do others think it is right for elderly residents? i think it is quite a good idea, why not, i have worked in old people's homes, andi have worked in old people's homes, and i think they should do what they want, really! why not, enjoy themselves while they can! you might think, why didn't they opt for a different type of dance, but there isa different type of dance, but there is a stigma over paul downton, is it good or bad. your view? undecided!

—— there is a stigma over pole dancing. this may have produced an outpouring of reaction in some parts, but the care home says it is now up for inviting the pole dancers back. time for the weather forecast. sunshine we will keep through the weekend, on the strength of the wind, bitterly cold, as we go into next week, things turn colder. increasing chance that - of us could see snow, but back to the here and now, whether into the next week is dominated by this area of high pressure over scandinavia, feeding in the cold air all the way from the arctic, honest lengthening east south—easterly wind, pushing in more clout across parts of north easington, southern clout across south—west england and northern ireland, elsewhere, good deal of

we begin with the winter olympics in south korea, where great britain's women's curlers failed to make it into the gold medal match. it was 10—5 defeat by sweden. the match hinged on a wayward stone from skip eve muirhead in the seventh end which helped gift sweden a three—point end and a lead which never relented. the swedes were silver medallists in sochi four years ago and have the chance to at least repeat that. team gb gave up after the ninth end trailing by five. they will be back on tomorrow to see if they can equal their bronze from four years ago. just a few metres away korea and japan are playing their semifinal at the same time. korea took a three point lead in the first end. japan came back. a very tight match indeed. still going on. huge

support. the hosts korea are a leading. the final will take place on sunday. and switzerland have already beaten canada to take the bronze in the men's medal match. canada were the defending champions and like their women's team miss out on any medal at all. another olympic athlete from russia has tested positive for a banned substance at pyeongchang. the russian bobsleigh federation has confirmed nadezhda sergeeva, she is one of 168 russians allowed to compete as neutrals, despite the country being banned for a state sponsored doping programme. but, an extremely significant gold medal overnight — a first for an olympic athlete from russia. a stunning gold in the women's singles figure skating for the 15—year—old alina zagitova, who had a world record score

in her short programme before an impeccable routine in the free dance here. her training partner, the two—time reigning world champion yevgenia medvedeva, though, clearly upset with her silver medal as she was the favourite going into it but a fanstic moment for young zagitova and of course a slice of olymnpic history for her. staying with the olympic athletes from russia, their men's ice hockey team are through to the final after a 3—0 win over the czech republic at the gangneung hockey centre. the other semifinal is taking place now. germany are leading against canada. they are into the second of three periods. the final will take place on sunday. in the women's ski cross overnight, britain's emily sarsfield got through her first heat on final‘s day. that was thanks in part to a big crash for one of her opponents.

but sadly, she was knocked out in the next race. still, a great achievement from emily given she's had no st eventuallyichievement st eventually ichievementl the upset multiple , ,.,,.,,, st eventually ichievementl the upset . multiple - surgeries st eventually ichievementl the upset . multiple. surgeries and ‘ else, three in skates—er glass, e'e'q'lé:'%£'él?'ii":2!:zi"l"z , summer, lg‘lalal—‘s' ales, ‘s's'fe'lé:'e§'él?'ii":zfj:zej"z , summer, it is huge to be there the summer, it is huge to be there today and the big thing was to go out and have fun. i wanted to put ski cross on the map a little bit. and there was a brilliant final in the ski cross as canada continued their dominance of the event. first and second place for them — kelsey serwa and brittany phelan with gold and silver. arsenal will face ac milan in the last 16 of the europa league. the draw was made in lyon this afternoon.

the first game will take place at the san siro on march eighth. the italian giants will travel to london for the second leg a week later. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i'll have more for you in the next hour. a fourth british tourist has died of injuries he suffered in a helicopter crash in the grand canyon nearly a fortnight ago. jonathan udall, who was in his 305 and from brighton, was on honeymoon with his wife, ellie milward when the accident happened. his family has been told of his death. adina campbell reports. jon udall and ellie milward were on their honeymoon. she has now been left with critical injuries, while herfriends' online post, announcing mr udall‘s death, described him as strong and brave. the eurocopter ec130 crashed as it came into land in arizona's remote quartermaster canyon. witnesses say it spun around twice

before hitting the ground and then bursting into flames. police say bad weather meant it was more than eight hours before the survivors could be flown to hospital. stuart hill, on the left, is pictured here along with his brotherjason, who also died at the scene. their parents said the brothers shared an incredible bond and would be deeply missed. jennifer barham remains in a critical condition in hospital in las vegas, as does the pilot, scott booth. experts say possible causes of the crash include a faulty tail rotor and gusty winds. but it may take many months to determine why the helicopter came down with such terrible consequences. adina campbell, bbc news. last september, conditions at liverpool prison were described

as the worst that inspectors had ever seen. a report said inmates were living in ‘squalid' conditions and there had been a rise in incidents of self—harm. the prison says it's investing in more specialist staff, but since the inspection, three prisoners have taken their own lives. jayne mccubbin has been to meet janet paine, whose son took his own life five days ago. on monday, tony paine took his own life at liverpool prison, a man and his mum told me had never harmed anyone but himself. he didn't deserve it. he was in crisis. he was desperate for help. he never got it. tony had struggled with schizophrenia since he was 19. in september, his behaviour became erratic. on three consecutive days he was taken to hospital in a crisis, first an overdose, next self harm, then he was found naked in the street by police.

but on each occasion only was discharged by mersey care nhs trust. a week later he was jailed for affray after police found him throwing tiles off the roof of a house. it's so hard. two weeks ago, his mum received this letter. in it, he begged for help. he said he was self harming and he had been assaulted. desperate. desperate when he said to me, "mum, you don't understand, you don't understand i'm going to end up dead in here." if he had got help, he would never have gone on the roof, he wouldn't have ended up in court, and he certainly wouldn't have ended up injail. and he certainly wouldn't be coming home in a body bag. mersey care told us while they couldn't comment on tony's death, they would cooperate with any review. the prison has passed condolences to his family and tell us they have invested in specialist staff to provide training in prisoner safety. but its latest inspection

highlighted squalid conditions, an increase in violence, and abject failure to offer a safe environment. we all know it is a hole, and it's filthy, it's not just about that. they're treated like animals, locked up 23 hours a day. they need to get specialist care, they need that place knocking down. the chair of the prison officers association, who works here at walton, has told me that overnight there is only one mental health nurse on duty. that might rise to two during the day but it is to look after almost 1000 inmates, 60% of whom have complex mental health needs. he said that clearly isn't enough. he agreed with tony's mother, he should never have been in prison. hours before tony took his own life, a probation officer came here to the family home to approve him for a release on tag, into the care of his mum. she e—mailed her son to share the good news. i said, "you might be home for the end of the month, cheer up, love.

love you, see you soon." that was the last e—mail i sent to him. and i still don't know whether he got it. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour but first... the headlines on bbc news. warnings that the extensive abuse of vulnerable women across the uk is still going unrecognised, and needs to be urgently addressed — the findings of operation sanctuary in newcastle. new research suggests errors with drugs across the nhs in england could be linked to up to 22,000 deaths. an armed officer who was at the florida school where 17 people were killed has resigned after it emerged he failed to intervene. in the business news...

the bookmakers william hill made a loss lost year — £75 million. the year before it had made a profit of £180 million. it would have been well in profit if it hadn't had to write down the value of its business in australia. some analysts even think the regulations and higher taxes there may mean william hill will have to pull out of the country altogether. it might rank as one of the most expensive tweets ever. reality tv star kylie jenner wiped $1.3bn — about £1 billion — off the market value of snap after tweeting that she no longer used its snapchat messaging app. its shares sank as much as 8%. ms jenner is celebrity kim kardashian‘s half—sister. royal bank of scotland, is back in profit for the first time in a decade. the bank, still 71% owned by the taxpayer, made an annual profit of £752 million in 2017 compared with a £7 billion loss the year before.

but it's not out of the woods yet — there's still a potentially massive fine from the us department ofjustice over the sale of financial products linked to risky mortgages. iag is the parent group of british airways, aer lingus and iberia. group profits are up 12.5%, despite suffering that huge it collapse last summer. suffering that huge it collapse last summer. we spoke earlier to the chief executive about rises in air fa res across chief executive about rises in air fares across the industry. we expect or unit revenue to improve. prices came down in 2017. unit revenue is domination of the yield, average fares, but also how many seats we fill an aircraft and we saw in 2017 filling more seats on

the aircraft and that was driving the overall performance of the business. it is not on the back of increasing prices, it is on the back of prices that were reduced in 2017. sticking with the theme of airlines, a revolution could be coming to airport security. the government has awarded eight projects a total of £1.8 million to develop innovative technology to bolster airport security and speed up the screening process. let's find out what they are. simon calder is here to tell us what the new technology could mean for flyers. what the department for transport has decided to award is some funds to under the future aviation security solutions project is for example very security solutions project is for exa m ple very often security solutions project is for example very often you have to remove your shoes because in the past explosives have been hidden in the souls of shoes. instead of doing

that, there are competing projects looking at standing somewhere which has sensors that can work out what is going on in yourfootwear and let you just not have to go through all that bothered taking your shoes off. and another one which is intriguing because it goes to the heart of what aviation industry globally wants. this is something that looks at natural body radiation and it can analyse that as you walk past a sensor, head on in a corridor so you don't even know it is there, looking to see if there is anything on towards and whether you need further investigation. it is going towards something which the airlines and airports call smart security, the idea that in a few years' time, although it always seems to be just although it always seems to be just a few yea rs' although it always seems to be just a few years' time, you and i will turn up at an airport and what through this corridor, come out the other end and 95% of us will have

been passed through security without having to do anything difficult. government subsidies, ideas and finance. but they are british companies? it will end up in british airports to start with and it could bea airports to start with and it could be a real money earner. yes. it is the part of any aviation journey that nobody likes at all. i used to frisk people at gatwick airport, a job and not a hobby, and it is not much fun being a security screener. using state—of—the—art technology to reduce the amount of stress is regarded as a very good thing, particularly if technology can be smarter at detecting risks. but there is also a much wider debate going on about the extent to which you should be using profiling, looking at people's travel habits.

my looking at people's travel habits. my habits of booking tickets latecomer travelling on my own, i should get the third degree, whereas good citizens like you should be let straight through. i wanted to ask more questions about your frisking experience but we won't go into that. when will these happen? the horizon keeps receding. originally roundabout now was when the airline consortium wanted to see everybody just going through smart security will stop that hasn't happened. the trouble is it has to happen globally. you can just trouble is it has to happen globally. you canjust see trouble is it has to happen globally. you can just see we will do this at one or two airports around the uk. that might have some legs but basically the international aviation community wants the same standards and getting everyone to adhere to and decide what standards should be, putting all the immense investment required, that will be tricky. good to talk to you.

one of the uk's oldest insurance companies is to be sold for £3.24 billion. edinburgh—based standard life assurance limited, is being bought by phoenix group. its parent company standard life aberdeen sla said the move completed its move out of insurance to concentrate on investment and asset management. electric—powered mini cars are to be built in china for the chinese market, as well as in oxford where most minis are currently made. bmw, the owner of the mini brand, said it had agreed an outline deal with chinese manufacturer great wall motor. the bonus pay—out to the chief executive of the house—builder persimmon will be cut by £25 million following fierce criticism over excessive rewards. the company said jeff fairburn had agreed to cut the number of shares he was entitled to, although he still stands to receive a bonus worth £74 million. those are the markets. not huge

amount of change on the footsie. that is the business news. back in one hour. the mother of two young brothers who we re the mother of two young brothers who were killed in a suspected hit and run in coventry has been paying tribute to her sons. corey and casper platt—may, who were aged six and two were killed on macdonald road yesterday afternoon. a man in his 505, and a woman in her 405, are still being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and drink—driving. our correspondent giles latcham is at the scene of accident. a very emotional morning. a carpet

of flowers and tributes spreading at the scene of this dreadful accident, which isjust the scene of this dreadful accident, which is just across the road from the family home. we have been told in the past few minutes the names of these poor boys. casper, aged two, casper on aged six. their mother said corey was an amazing boy, never sit still, always had to be doing something, he loved school. of casper she said he was a cheeky boy and casper she said he was a cheeky boy a nd co nsta ntly casper she said he was a cheeky boy and constantly telling his family how much he loved them. two months ago a friend of casper left a little drawing he did. i spoke earlier to the aunts of the boys. they said they were midway across the road when a black car appeared out of nowhere. they looked left and right,

deliver thing they were supposed to. they were the most loving boys. they did nothing wrong. they were loved by so many people, so cheeky. corey was cheeky, artistic, mischievous, i write wrestler. casper followed was cheeky, artistic, mischievous, i write wrestler. casperfollowed his brother, wrestling, the mischievous, just a normal toddler. they didn't deserve this. they didn't need it. it is lovely that all the neighbours have come out to support. i can't thank them enough. everyone came together and that of is what a great community is. this road needs speed bumps and assistants to help children cross the road. if we teach them everything we have learnt then

thatis them everything we have learnt then that is not come to help them if people are still speeding up and down the road. the kids were excited and bubbly and it is all gone in an insta nt. more flowers arriving as we speak. police described this as a nonstop collision. in other words, a hit and run. shortly afterwards at 52—year—old man and 41—year—old woman were arrested and remain in custody. they are being questioned today on suspicion of drink—driving and causing death by david yours —— by dangerous driving. a constant strea m by dangerous driving. a constant stream of by dangerous driving. a constant stream of mourners by dangerous driving. a constant stream of mourners has been arriving, incredulous as to what has happened. the police said the collision had a profound effect on this community and they are appealing to anyone who saw what happened to come forward. they have added to that people should resist

the temptation to speculate about what caused it because that will only add to this family's immense distress. the un children's fund unicef is warning that almost three—quarters of a million rohingya children face huge risks for years to come. in a report to mark six months since the start of the crisis unicef says hundreds of thousands of children remain trapped in makeshift camps, denied education, and at risk of disease and violence. with the monsoon season coming, unicef doubts the camps will survive high winds and heavy rain. we are reaching now one of the worst points of the history of the rohingya. altogether, the children who are coming since august 2017, and the children who are there in the makeshift camps, the refugee camps, prior to august 2017, we are speaking about a bit even more than half a million children which are in a difficult situation in the camps in cox's bazaar.
