day he was seen trade wars are good. he seems to be somewhat changeable. he seems to be somewhat changeable. he is effectively igniting talk of a trade war by saying he will impose ta riffs trade war by saying he will impose tariffs on exports, sorry imports into the united states of steel and aluminium. this is concerning for the british government who have presented brexit as an opportunity for britain to be a champion of global free for britain to be a champion of globalfree trade for britain to be a champion of global free trade and countries like america, canada and mexico have been working for decades any free trade area. trump taking a different tack, saying he wants to make america great again and that involves putting america first and in that mind it involves putting tariffs on goods coming in he feels are harming american industry. you can imagine his supporters will say this is what we voted for. absolutely he came into power on this platform of protectionism and what the eu have prepared a list of retaliatory
10:48 pm
tariffs which will encompass things like harley— davidson, bourbon whiskey, i am listed bourbon biscuits, and these things they have said that if that happens they will start thinking about the car industry so this risks escalating into a tit—for—tat protectionism on both sides of the atlantic. that will leave everyone in a spot of bother. similar sort of story to do with trade but not tariffs, i, a push to sell cornish pasties from america in the uk. we have certain products which are sort of protected because they are associated with certain parts of the country. we disagree about this because it transpires he has a higher taste than me, i am transpires he has a higher taste than me, lam a transpires he has a higher taste than me, i am a blue stripe lady myself. what does that mean? it means i don't mind if something

doesn't have a brand on it. like buying generic goods? yeah. if it looks like a nice strong cheese and smells and tastes like a cheese that suits me, i realise certain people don't feel the same. this comes back to the argument about brexit and what it will mean for the uk. this isa us what it will mean for the uk. this is a us lobbyist has realised that some travel trade deal may be on the cards with the uk and they have got a very early to say all this stuff about protecting the scotch whiskey and cumberland sausage you need to drop all that and that could mean america could introduce cheaper exports and that again could make food cheaper but our environment secretary michael gove has said there will be no fall in uk food standards. a lot of american food cannot be imported because it does not meet eu standards. the other thing is manufacturers, if you are
10:50 pm
producing stilton and you don't want anyone else in the world to be able to make something branded as authentic. i picked stilton because it is made in leicestershire. here is the point, a free trade argument that would be that if your stilton is the highest quality in the world it isa is the highest quality in the world it is a premium product and you should be able to tell sell it three 01’ should be able to tell sell it three orfour should be able to tell sell it three or four times should be able to tell sell it three orfour times what should be able to tell sell it three or four times what the local, not very good, pretend cheese which is not stilton but is branded as, you should be able to sell your quality product anywhere in the world at a higher premium but the eu has brought in territorial designations and protections because they don't think that works. other types of cheese are available! if you have in america you would notice a significant difference. and chocolate too. in the metro, a housing revolution. quarters will be

imposed on councils that fell to build as many homes as the government thinks they should. build as many homes as the government thinks they shouldm seems a reasonable solution to be an ongoing crisis in this country. we know there are not enough properties to house people and no theresa may has put forward what seems to be a perfectly reasonable solution on paper which is to spread the responsibility into different councils so each will have the make their own quarters and build accordingly. it's a lot of houses to build and there are so many barriers to getting them built, land being held and not developed. land banking isa held and not developed. land banking is a major issue and there is a concern people like network rail who area concern people like network rail who are a major landowner in the country are a major landowner in the country are not freeing up enough land and it's a similar issue with transport for london. but the brass neck of this woman, it is unbelievable. she stands up in march 2018 and accuses councils of not doing enough when
10:52 pm
4/2 decades councils have been told to sell council houses but not build replacements, that is why we have such a horrific crisis. is it about the council building houses or is it making sure developers get planning permission. that is also part of it, councils are restrained from building themselves so it ends up being developers and the third issue we have particularly in london it is not matter if you build these houses they will be bought by foreign investors as property is investment. this is not a central london issue, it's becoming a problem in the outer boroughs of london. imposing a quarter get you a nice headline but let's see how many we get. overseas developer buying this real estate and then leaving it vacant.|j developer buying this real estate and then leaving it vacant. i think bringing in ownership rules is far too radicalfor the bringing in ownership rules is far too radical for the theresa bringing in ownership rules is far too radicalfor the theresa may government. it's also against the free market. but once we leave the

eu we might be able to make our own rules! that is what sovereignty is all right. roger bannister has died aged 88 and this extraordinary outpouring of admiration for a man about his achievements. the difference between sporting icons of yesteryear when it was not even a full—time job, we know the method of completing the four—minute mile, the first man to ever do it but what is pa rt of first man to ever do it but what is part of that is the casually he went down to oxford, it seemed like a goodidea down to oxford, it seemed like a good idea and he was determined to do it because he lost out on medals in helsinki. he had pacemakers who he was always absolutely intent on sharing the credit and he just carried on his working life and ended up deleting the majority of his professional working life to

medicine and he said he was more proud of everything he achieved in medicine. it's the right stuff, it's the equivalent of someone like neil armstrong, a quiet hero. so many people who are now, have gone on, tanni grey—thompson, elepha ntine people who are now, have gone on, tanni grey—thompson, elephantine and olympic medallist seeing how much he inspired her when she was growing up. the interesting thing about the story is that it's a lens through which we can see how much sport has changed, you talk about the casually he went about it but there was not a lot of sponsorship or training pressure on him which is what is expected of athletes these days. just look at issues, very low—tech but it didn't stop him. they have become iconic sporting motifs which are imitated throughout the world. the way it works. let's look at the
10:55 pm
oscars. that is happening tonight in hollywood. here we have a picture of margot robbie nominated for her petrillo tonya harding. you have seen petrillo tonya harding. you have seen that film, issue worth the nod. definitely, in 2010! interviewed her oi'i definitely, in 2010! interviewed her on the set of neighbours, we all said she has got it, whether she does next she has got it and who she is on the oscars red carpet with the best actress nod. but she's up against a strong field not least frances mcdormand and she is the favourite and she wins it will be her second oscar. do you stay up and watch it? no. another one of the big ones is the darkest our, but as a parliament geek i found it very difficult because it's full of
10:56 pm
mistakes. is it? of course it is, it isa mistakes. is it? of course it is, it is a hollywood movie. it's got a different fuel this year. yes, it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth, i think they are having to balance this now, the ladies most of all how to step forward and the herd, the badges on display overnight, we will see anti—gun freedoms, also to things being discussed, but these actresses have to do is conspire that this is the fairy tale worth celebrating. it's a bit of a tightrope that all these stars are walking. we will be back later, a few more, it was a rather short review this hour because of coming on late but back again and have passed 11 for another look at the newspapers, coming up next, the weather. thank you forjoining me, let's get
10:57 pm
you up—to—date with what's becoming known as the all—important weather forecast. last week many a scene like this and for some of you some days to come also would like that because the snow will not disappear straightaway but no doubt about it we are moving into something a good deal more clement than many of us have experienced and for that we have experienced and for that we have to thank this area of low pressure. we don't often do that but this system anchored as it is a towards the west and south—west of the british isles over the next few days will help to feed in the relatively mild air from the atla ntic relatively mild air from the atlantic rather than something very much colder than the heart of continental europe. that does not mean to say it will be a heatwave but we are already beginning to see temperatures ticking up across the southern counties. through the course of the evening and overnight temperatures will stay positive across the southern half of britain,
10:58 pm
further north major towns and cities in positive territory but the countryside with all the lying snow it will be another cold night and there might be further snow showers simply because this area of low pressure keeps things unsettled hosepipe to the british isles but it's helping with those temperatures slowly but surely. close to that area of low pressure down towards the south west expect heavy rainfall further north weather front will produce some rain and sleet around about coastal areas and write up in the far north and maybe overly high ground of scotland new way well find further snow showers. this is tuesday and we are looking at a fairly settled picture with quite a bit of dry weather across england and wales, pretty leaden skies, still a sprinkling of showers down towards the south—west, further rain around about the coast of scotland may be over the highest ground again in the dusting of snow. at this stage temperature is in the south starting to push towards double figures, not a great deal of change on wednesday. save for some pretty
10:59 pm
hefty showers for some spots across england and wales and again all wilder is that chance of further wintry showers across the very highest ground in scotland. those temperatures by that stage well in positive temperatures by day. milder through the week, rather unsettled because of the low and if there is any luus it will mainly be on the hills. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at 11:00: polls close in italy — after an election campaign dominated by immigration, exit polls suggest no group has won a majority. tributes to sir roger bannister who stunned the world by running the first sub—four minute mile. still not enough detail on how the irish border will work after brexit — the irish government suggests uk proposals may not be sufficient. as syrian government forces are reported to have seized control of a quarter of the rebel enclave of eastern ghouta, our correspondent reports from nearby damascus. and this year's oscars get underway injust over an hours' time,
