‘ and in the intelligence community and saying, there may well be something in this, so presumably the whole thing opens up again.” in this, so presumably the whole thing opens up again. i imagine you will see a really strong push back again from labour. we had a very strong statement from jeremy corbyn. he put a video out to say that for right—wing media barons, time is up. changes coming, with a glint in his eye —— change is coming. changes coming, with a glint in his eye -- change is coming. it's really interesting to hear these views but it also references the fact that the cia were keeping tabs onjeremy corbyn when he was travelling around south america and places in the caribbean sol south america and places in the caribbean so i think his politics and his left—wing politics have come over the last 30 years, brought the attention of agencies. the daily mailand attention of agencies. the daily mail and the attention of agencies. the daily mailand the sun attention of agencies. the daily mail and the sun will love this one because it keeps the ball rolling. the front page of private eye is
10:46 pm
james bond in a suave suit and sunglasses and jeremy corbyn in a t—shirt and shorts! also the telegraph, another story that has been rumbling since the first 0xfam revelations, a new charity embroiled in the sex abuse scandal in the eight world. what's this one about, kate? —— aid world. eight world. what's this one about, kate? -- aid world. they say they have six cases of child abuse by staff and volunteers. is one of britain's biggest children's charities and for me, this is pushing it into another area where some of these cases are displayed as criminal in nature. we have had correspondence between aid workers and staff which has been inappropriate but here we have potential criminal activity against children and it's another really sickening story to be honest, that people who do this have managed to
10:47 pm
be employed in these charities. for me, 0xfam brought this up earlier this week, the referencing from when one aid worker, let's say they are disgraced and are able to move to another place to find work and the fa ct another place to find work and the fact they are referenced and doesn't show anything about them. so there is not enough vetting. i was reading that when there is a disaster, the aid agencies are scrambling to get staff and sometimes they are recruiting very fast, sometimes hundreds of people, so some of these people were not appropriate. some are senior people and campaigners and the 0xfam situation, the way this was handled by the 0xfam people at that time left a lot to be desired. it was woefully inadequate. what distresses me about these terrible stories is thinking that this. people giving money to these
10:48 pm
organisations, which in the main, the overwhelming majority of cases doa the overwhelming majority of cases do a fantasticjob. the overwhelming majority of cases do a fantastic job. 0xfam gave figures and said 7000 people had stopped their donations but out of 400,000 so it was quite a small centage. some also signed up in protest. everyone is faced with options about charitable giving and i think it will have quite a big impact on farmers. do you think they will recover? 0xfam have been hard—hit will recover? 0xfam have been ha rd—hit by these will recover? 0xfam have been hard—hit by these organisations —— accusations. it just hard—hit by these organisations —— accusations. itjust goes on and on and they're going to publish new safeguards and measures to make sure this won't happen again. it might remind people of the original allegations and scandal so it might be hard to operate in exactly the same way. yeah, i find it difficult.
10:49 pm
things that this damage your reputation so much that you can actually scrap what you're doing and start again but for something like 0xfa m start again but for something like 0xfam which is so well entrenched, it's hard to imagine how they would go away and come back. it's such a big institution that has been around for so long. let's talk about the mirror, it's a historic move on organ donation to make it an opt out system. this campaign has been going around for two years and it involved the boy on the front page, max, who had to have at heart transplant and had to have at heart transplant and had to have at heart transplant and had to wait an agonisingly long time. they argue that the law should be changed and that organs will be deleted unless the family say
10:50 pm
otherwise. it will be deemed consent. they have fought this battle for two long years and now the house of commons have agreed to bring in what they're calling max's law. they're saying 200 lives per year might be saved. we often criticise newspapers but the daily mail deserves our congratulations —— the daily erérgk |f mail deserves our congratulations —— the daily erérgp |f it mail deserves our congratulations —— the daily m-r__r~ek if it is your the daily mirror. if it is your relative that is waiting for a transplant, i think you would feel very strongly that this is exactly the right thing to do, that you need to make sure that options are open to make sure that options are open to you. what i think the mirror has done here is contributed so many stories about families having such a difficult time and also sad stories where people don't get the organs that they need and so i think
10:51 pm
knowing those emotional stories as a reporter, i can't help but support this. this little lad max got the heart of a young ghetto who had been involved in a road accident and her father gave permission for all her organs to go to people. what a brave thing for him to do. and that saved for different lives. we have been reporting that stephen fry has prostate cancer and he has been talking about that today. the simon say getting a flu jab saved his life. —— the the sun. simon say getting a flu jab saved his life. -- the the sun. i saw a video or stephen fry explain in what happened, he got diagnosed at the end of last year and had the operation injanuary end of last year and had the operation in january and end of last year and had the operation injanuary and it end of last year and had the operation in january and it was fairly aggressive. but he has tackled it with style and humour and told his millions of fans that
10:52 pm
fingers crossed, he will be ok. this is another example of a celebrity with an illness than raising awareness about prostate cancer. we awareness about ,prostate,cancer,,we sought with angelina awareness about ,prostate,cancer,,we this and so this and ts" , ~ ~ something in his video, he did said something in his video, he did a video on his website today and it is an old it is an old i , if ,,, a, said it is an old clicheflcrgtym; said it is an old cliqhéhfllflfytfii think said it is an old clichsfloatyod think. going to happen and that a line you and i thought that was a line that would ring true with lots of people. but it is one of those cancers that men are not necessarily aware of. we men cancers that men are not necessarily aware of. we men are cancers that men are not necessarily aware of. we men are not very good at admitting there is anything wrong with us. going to the doctors. we don't like owning up to that kind of stuff. it is a remainder, it's the biggest killer of men in the uk,
10:53 pm
40,000 cases a year, 11,000 of whom died. spot on. it is sort of raising awareness, which is a good thing. let's end on the weather. it's what i been talking about all day. let's end on the weather. it's what i been talking about all daym let's end on the weather. it's what i been talking about all day. it has been freezing! westminster can be a chilly place. politically or. . . ? written in a deep freeze, four inches of snow on the way. that is going to cause havoc across the country, from north east to london and the south east and in scotland, some places are down to —15 celsius sol some places are down to —15 celsius so i think that will cause difficulty for motorists. the south of england which often gets off and! newr u- between latest, and i grew up between manchester and huddersfield, this is nothing. i thought you were going to
10:54 pm
say you were brought up in the arctic! this is nothing, but we used to laugh at the south because bbc news with run a big weather story if there was an inch of snow in trafalgar square and we were digging mountains of snow! the express love weather stories. it is their staple diet. a polar vortex is the phrase that comes up over and over again when temperatures plummet, which i think is the most matic thing. —— most dramatic. four inches of snow on the way. the first thing you think about when you get up in the morning is what the weather is like. it affects what you take to lunch. lovely. great to have you with us.
10:55 pm
don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you and goodbye. good evening. i'm trying to say positive —— stay positive with the weather. it will be cold on frosty. this was the story earlier this afternoon. sunshine in shropshire. into the weekend, we will keep the sun but there will be a cold wind and that will make you feel really quite raw. throughout the day, we
10:56 pm
saw a little bit of cloud across the eastern england and the southwest and up into northern ireland. but clear skies through the night mean temperatures will fall away sharply indeed. a widespread frost to the western half of the uk. we keep the cloud into northern ireland so temperatures perhaps above freezing but the frost will take its time to clear. the frost will eventually lift and we will see sunshine. we keep the cloud into northern ireland and cornwall but elsewhere, hardly a cloud and feeling chilly, top temperatures of around four to seven celsius. 0n temperatures of around four to seven celsius. on saturday night, plenty of clear skies across the country so there will be a hard frost forming and the temperatures will fall away. there will be bits and places of cloud from time to time but as the cloud sins and breaks into northern
10:57 pm
ireland, the frost is quite light first thing on sunday morning, so another cold on frosty start, that frost will take its time to ease away but as the sunshine come through it will melt away and then crisp blue sky and sunshine. more sunshine on sunday for northern ireland. perhaps a bit of cloud onto the shores of the northeast and highs of around four to six celsius. factor in the wind, is good to feel much colder, particularly on sunday, temperatures perhaps feeling below freezing for many of us despite the sunshine around. wrap up warm because the cold weather is set to stay with us, they are coming from the arctic and it will get even colder as we move into next week and there is a risk of starting to see some snow showers around, so you have been warned, very cold, bit of winds, some snow at times, frost and ice continue as well.
10:58 pm
this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11: the un security council struggles to agree on a ceasefire, as bombardment continues of civilians trapped in syria. dozens are reported to have been killed today — over 400 this week — with medical supplies running out. here, a review finds notjust girls, but also vulnerable women are being sexually abused by grooming gangs in the north—east of england. eu leaders meet without theresa may, and warn the uk can't cherry pick its terms and to think otherwise is pure illusion. donald trump repeats his call to the party faithful that teachers should carry a gun in schools. the beauty is it's concealed.
