the sand, we should continue doing that, when the world comes, tells us to make them deeper. inclusion was the theme, change is really coming to hollywood was the message. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. our arts correspondent rebecca jones is on the red carpet at the vanity fair party for us this morning. how is it going? good morning. it isn't actually a red carpet here, it isn't actually a red carpet here, it isa isn't actually a red carpet here, it is a blue and cream carpet at vanity fair but this is where all the stars come after the oscars ceremony and if they are winners, they are clutching those gold statues. film ci’ews clutching those gold statues. film crews from around the world here on either side of me and the stars come up either side of me and the stars come up the carpet. i'm keeping an eye over my shoulder in case anyone arrives as we're talking. we're waiting for the all—importa nt winners, we hope to talk to gary oldman later, frances mcdormand won

best actress, allison jani won oldman later, frances mcdormand won best actress, allisonjani won best supporting actress, sam rockwell, a supporting actor and the shape of water, best film. we expect the cast and crew from that as well. thanks very much, we will be back with the blue and green carpet later. my my favourite bit during the oscars, to try to make sure the ceremony didn't overrun, the organisers of the prize of a jetskis for the shortest acceptance speech. the costume designer from phantom thread, mark bridges, won an oscar for costume design and gave a speech that came in atjust 36 seconds. i think hejust i think he just said thank you. and ashleyjudd, salma hayek and annabella sciorra took to the stage for a time's up segment about breaking barriers and changing the culture in hollywood. we will be back later and we will be watching that carpet carefully in

case gary oldman turns up because we would like to speak to him. you talked to him after the golden globes? we did, we had a good chinwag. we will talk about the good bag as well, and $1000 worth in it, holidays to tanzania and hawaii in it and holidays to tanzania and hawaii in itand anti— holidays to tanzania and hawaii in it and anti— sweat patches as well, which always go down well, only worth $9. they might be worth more than the holiday, though! britain's top olympian sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of crossing an ethical line in a report by mps, who say they used medication to enhance performance. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. adam wild reports. they are some of the biggest names in british sports but this long—awaited report represents perhaps the gravest blow yet to their reputations. most significantly that of sir bradley wiggins, the nation's most decorated olympian. one of the things the report's authors point to is the use

of certain drugs by wiggins and his former team, team sky, the purpose of which they say was not always to treat medical need but to improve performance. that is something both team sky and wiggins strongly refute. and whilst they didn't break anti—doping rules, they did, the report says, cross the ethical line. and the head of the team, sir david brailsford, must take responsibility. but this report goes much further than just cycling. they say the evidence of lord coe, the head of athletics governing body, to mps on the committee in 2015, was misleading, when he sought to distance himself from any knowledge of allegations of doping in russian athletics. the report also speaks of shock at an injection of a drug called l—carnitine given to sir mo farah before the 2014 london marathon. whilst it isn't a banned substance,

there are strict rules around its use, yet that dose did not appear on farah's madical record. it's cycling, though, a sport which has already suffered a series of blows to its reputation, for which today's report will be most damaging. adam wild, bbc news. and in half an hour we'll be talking to damian collins the chair of the committee which produced the report. customers in parts of london and the south east of england have been told to limit their use of water after thawing temperatures caused burst pipes. thousands of others have been left with no water at all. simon clemison is in west london where emergency supplies of bottled water are being distributed. this is a problem right across the united kingdom, simon, what is the situation this morning? good morning, dan and louise. this is what they call a water station. the consequences of the weather

don't seem to end, do they? you have a big lorry full of bottles of water to help the thousands of people in london this morning still struggling with supplies. other parts of the country are struggling, severn trent apologising to people in rugby after nothing came out of the tap. it is warmer in london than it was when it was snowing a few days ago and in one part of the country it got to 12 having been “11. if you think about it, that is a16 degrees rise. we know cooling down and warming up these metal pipes can lead to these bursts and lea ks these metal pipes can lead to these bursts and leaks and people to be left without supplies. overnight i've been speaking to some of those affected here. i haven't had a shower today unfortunately. there's no water in the tabs, no shower. i work in the pub downstairs and they have no water so i had to shut early. you runa water so i had to shut early. you run a restaurant, what's it like to come in and find no water? it is

critical. without water you can't do any business. you can't wash up? exactly. you can't wash up, you can't prep food, you can't operate. i went down to the corner, unfortunately no water last night, fiow unfortunately no water last night, now the sink is working but i don't know when they're going to fix all the problems. so much water is draining out of the system, thames water need to make sure there is enough coming in. people are saying to have barfs, not showers, fully loaded the washing machine and don't wash the car, which i'm fully in favour of. a problem for many this morning after the cold weather of last week. seems believable we can't get water but that's what is happening. —— seems unbelievable. united nations officials in syria say they hope an escalation in fighting in the rebel—held enclave of eastern ghouta over the weekend won't prevent them from taking in humanitarian supplies today. president assad has given permission for the aid convoy, but said the government's military offensive to retake

the area must continue. construction firms which have been slow to build new homes could be refused planning permission in future, under a shake—up to be unveiled by theresa may. the prime minister will tell developers to step up is not acceptable at a time of chronic housing need. italy appears to be heading for a hung parliament after voters backed right—leaning and populist parties. our europe correspondent gavin lee is in rome for us this morning. gavin, who are the winners and losers? why is it significant? good morning. a rainy run today, government office behind me and with parliament at the moment, we know it is hung, there's no decisive outcome, italians have got used to that but suddenly the biggest party, italy's first party,

is the five star movement, and the softly spoken sharp suited 31—year—old luigi di maio could be potentially one of the youngest prime ministers of europe. but they're saying at the moment they wouldn't form a coalition with another party. we have italy's eternal highlander, silvio berlusconi, the 81—year—old billionaire, the centre—right politician... according to the polls, the moment half of the vote has been counted but they say the centre—right have it in terms of a bigger overall score. the government of the moment, paolo gentiloni, the former prime minister leading the party, metteo renzi, suffering in third. we have coalition building politics right now but ultimately european leaders are worried because the two populist party, the northern league and the five star movement, together, if the score is right, would get 48% of the population who voted for them. it is something

european leaders are hoping doesn't come to pass. gavin, thank you very much indeed, time to get out of the rain! it's not everyday a baby chimpanzee learns to fly. this is the moment mussa co—piloted his own rescue mission. the baby chimp bonded with his rescuer during theirflight home together after he was saved from poachers in the congo. he was doing a little bit of preening, did you see that? clearly getting on very well. that is utterly adorable. is that your favourite story of the day already? it could be my favourite animal story of 2018. we're not very far into the year but i will put it out there. on the day after the oscars you have given the award out very early there! john is here reflecting on another good result for england's women? yes, lots in the papers today

about bradley wiggins and the fallout from the mps' report, we will look at the back pages and the front pages, because it certainly got a lot of coverage. a good —— big moment for phil neville, especially in the shebelieves cup, playing against the top two teams in women's doubles, the usa and germany and they played germany last night and they played germany last night and they got an important draw, great for phil neville and their progress with the ultimate aim of winning the world cup at some point in the future. to matters on the pitch now and england's women came from behind to draw 2—2 with germany in their shebelieves cup match in new york. ellen white scored both england goals. a little pep talk from david beckham as well before that match, we will bring you that later. manchester city edge closer to the premier league title. they beat chelsea 1—0. four more wins and pep guardiola's side will take the trophy. bernardo silva scoring yesterday.

andrew pozzi won a sensational gold for great britain at the world indoor athletics championships in birmingham. his victory in the 60 metres hurdles came byjust one hundredth of a second! incredibly tight finish there. and after 12 years, british men's tennis has a brand new number one. when the rankings are released this morning, kyle edmund will replace andy murray in the top spot. andy murray has been out injured but he is targeting an earlier than expected comeback. kyle edmund will be defra little while but you wonder how it will be after that. —— there for a little while. the clay—court season for a little while. the clay—court seasonis for a little while. the clay—court season is pretty punishing on the body, and i imagine he will want to have some... i am listening to you. i have found this story about pineapples and pasties. i have found this story about pineapples and pastieslj i have found this story about pineapples and pasties. i did not steal it out of your paper, but i spotted it. the front page of the

daily telegraph, their main story there is about senior police officers warning bosses of the risk officers warning bosses of the risk of false abuse claims made against an iraq warveteran, of false abuse claims made against an iraq war veteran, and that is a disclosure either telegraph there, and they have a story, a picture there of margot robbie as well. the guardian front page, we will also speak to david collins about this, bradley wiggins and sky abused over doping —— abuse doping rules to win the tour. the findings of a long—awaited committee of mps. and carillion there as well. bradley wiggins mate french —— made the front page of the sun and the mail, and the first story there. it does seem extraordinary to be told to ration water last night, this is

after the big freeze and causing havoc with water supplies. the front page of the times, a lovely picture of sir roger bannister, you may have seen that he sadly passed away over the weekend, we will speak to his —— someone the weekend, we will speak to his —— someone who is coach made him watch videos of sir roger bannister. and may tell is trump not to risk trade war. wiggins is also on the back page of the guardian, the credibility of team sky at which is the team that was always classed as doing things whiter than white in the post doping irra, their reputation being called in to question. it is also on the back page of the mail and the front page of the sun, the key line here is that it of the sun, the key line here is thatitis of the sun, the key line here is that it is unethical, the report

that it is unethical, the report that what they were doing was pushing the boundaries are medically, that is the key finding from this report. and it is also covered in the telegraph, in their pullout. it says wiggins is facing new claims over doping. it will be in choosing to hear what david collins has to say after that report. bradley wiggins and sky have both put up a pretty robust defence. they had not been found guilty of any wrongdoing, they refute the claims, and! any wrongdoing, they refute the claims, and i imagine bradley wiggins will have more to say. pineapple news. dan and i disagree about the use of pineapple, particularly hot pineapple. we need to embrace... you like it on peter? i can't believe you mentioned that thatis i can't believe you mentioned that that is some of the pizza. apparently an american pastie containing pineapple, outrageous,

has won the world pastie championships. it has won the prestigious accolade, held each year in cornwall. pineapple in an american pastie winning? the best and which i have ever had, in brazil, right, white roll, loads of little shavings of steak into, pate, and a huge ring of pineapple, it was magnificent. that is your pineapple news, we won't mention it again. 19 minutes past six. what is going on this morning, it has calmed down a little bit? compared to last week this week ‘s weather is much quieter, here is the forecast, most of it is in the hills above 100 metres, there will be some mist and fog in the mornings and some ice in places. if we look at the forecast today, we have got some showers at spreading across the south, and still some snow for the

scottish hills, and also this morning over parts of the north—east england. largely in the hills. you can see as a white picture what is going on, quite a lot of cloud across the —— of a satellite picture quite a lot of cloud across the uk, the showers continuing across parts of wales in the south—west, we have snow coming across north—east scotla nd snow coming across north—east scotland above 100 metres also, and some dry conditions over towards the west. the northern ireland, you have a cloudy and dark day ahead with some showers and drizzle, and some rain across north—east england with some snow for example on higher ground. through the day what you find is further showers coming across the south, some of those will be heavy, possibly thundery and hampshire, dorset into somerset. cloud will build through the day as well. but if you notice the temperatures, they are in sharp contrast to what we had last week in the south, and they are roughly where they should be at this stage

of march. it will be cool as we push further north. as we move through the evening and overnight our frontal system producing this rain continues to head northwards, as it hits the colder air across northern england, we will see some snow above a couple of 100 metres, at the same across scotland, mostly through the hills. some rain out towards the west. there is the risk of ice this coming night and also we are likely to see some patchy mist and fog falling. tomorrow that will lift and to england and wales we are off to a dry and bright start, a weather system pushing northwards, taking its rain and hill snow across scotland, brightening up across southern and central scotland as we go through the course of the day, and finding up quite nicely. temperatures ranging from four in aberdeen to about ten as we pushed down towards london, but still some showers just floating with the south—west. then as we head into wednesday, further showers, some of those could be heavy with some hail

mixed in amongst them, in southern counties, this weather front in the north—west of scotland, will see wintry showers, but we could see some as well across northern ireland. but there is a lot of dry weather around as well. so in summary, weather around as well. so in summary, for this coming week, it is going to become milder as we go through this week, particularly when you think of the temperatures and windchill of last week, it will however remain settled —— unsettled with some showers and snow at times, but the snow will mainly be on the hills in the north. back to you. let's talk oscars, where rebecca jones has two look at us and try and keep her eyes on what is happening behind. ijust saw keep her eyes on what is happening behind. i just saw you talking keep her eyes on what is happening behind. ijust saw you talking to salma hayek? yes, ijust spoke to

salma hayek? yes, ijust spoke to salma hayek, we record that interview so i will play that in a few moments. two people are hugging, over my shoulder, i am not sure who they are, it is a bit like that. hundreds of stars coming here after the ceremony, many clutching their precious gold statues. there are photographers and journalists and paparazzi from all over the world here wanting to grab a word with the stars who are arriving here. we spoke to salma hayekjust a few seconds ago, she was an important pa rt seconds ago, she was an important part of this ceremony, because she was one of the actresses, who first spoke out about hardy wines dean and sexual harassment, and she was part ofa sexual harassment, and she was part of a segment in the show, she came onstage with ashleyjudd, who has also accused harvey weinstein of harassment, and they spoke about the #metoo campaign. and she was saying that she thinks that this has been a real moment of change the hollywood. but i should say that whole issue by

no means overshadowed the ceremony. it was not really mentioned, apart from when they came onstage. and rebecca, tell us a bit about the atmosphere there, because we know they go to the oscars, so many companies party, don't they? absolutely, they sit through the ceremony, which this year was over 3.5 hours, they then head off to the governor's ball which is where they either celebrate winning their oscars or they commiserate and not winning. and then they have all these parties across town to choose from. vanity fair here in beverly hills is a hot ticket, people are streaming in, we have seen former oscar winners, amy adams, joan collins, halle berry, we know that this is where they come to party. film criticjason solomons has been watching the ceremony overnight and joins us now.

in terms of headlines, it was an unsurprising night until we got to the best picture award for the shape of water? that was the most open race, and! of water? that was the most open race, and i was surprised when shape of water was read out. i was surprised, it had not really one, it had won of the baftas where three billboards had triumphed, the independent spirit awards, get out had one, but the shape of water was kind of sweeping in ibm, it is not fishy, though the film is. it is quite a strange best picture when, it isa quite a strange best picture when, it is a fantasy, it is about a love affair between sally hawkins and anna put it picture —— and aquatic creature, who everyone says is a fish but he is not technically, they

do have this love affair, it is a strange film, it is the first film with a female lead to win best picture in 13 years, since million—dollar baby. in the time of #timesup, it is interesting we have a female lead winner. the female skewing of movies is filtering through and it has had an effect this through. coming up later on the programme: apprenticeships are hailed as a great way to learn a trade so why are numbers falling? steph's at a factory in birmingham this morning. good morning. iam good morning. i am surrounded good morning. iam surrounded by loads of rolls of sheet metal here which will be sent off and made into lots of different products, but this isa lots of different products, but this is a business that employs about 150 different people and seven of them are apprentices. helen is a hate our manager, tells what you do hear? we have a foundry over the road where we cast metal, it is rolled down to

gauge and comes over to the sharing shop where it is shared, packed and sent to the customer. and what type of things does this metal turn into? electrical component is a big one, high security keys, could be formed to pens, a variety of applications. and apprentices are an important pa rt and apprentices are an important part of your business, tell us about why you employ them? basically we have long lactic —— recognise the skills shortage in engineering so we ta ke skills shortage in engineering so we take it upon ourselves to grow our own talent rather than depend on the market. has it been all right finding them, because there is research saying the number of people starting a printer ships has fallen, but have you found it all right to get the calibre you need and the number you need? russert has been easy. there has been a —— been a bigger take—up by apprentices this year, high—calibre apprentices are a lwa ys year, high—calibre apprentices are always ha rd to year, high—calibre apprentices are always hard to find but we have find it relatively good. we are meeting some of those apprentices later ron, but first get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news.

around 12,000 londoners are waking up without water this morning: thames water say they've been working through the night and have now completed the repairs ona pipe and have now completed the repairs on a pipe in the strait area. yesterday people were launched to use what are carefully. we have seen a high demand for water yesterday, driven by the lakes. we will see another increase on monday morning, as the working week starts. it is important that we work over the next four hours to get above that. and customers do their part as well. the metropolitan police has defended the intelligence database it uses to map criminal gangs — describing it as a vital tool in the fight against violent crime. an foi request has revealed, according to the gangs matrix, the met believe 80% of all gang members are black.

the met saying its methodology is thorough and it identifies victims as well as perpetrators. if you are a young black man in london you can be the subject of violence and be in a gang and you will be on the matrix. we look to divert people away from a life of crime, the matrix —— allows us to identify those individuals and support them out of a life of crime. let's have a look at the travel situation now. damage caused by the bad weather means london overground has a shortage of trains and so there's no service from surrey quays to new cross. we have a lot of problems on the roads due to burst water mains. burst water in cricklewood, chichele road is closed near to anson road.

east dulwich grove closed near derwent grove. and finally, those burst water mains also causing problems for the a21 at bromley common, the a20 in lewisham, mansell street in aldgate and the marlybone road near regent's park. lets have a check on the weather now. compared to last week this morning is feeling positively mild. we are in low single figures but it is not as cold. some bright spell that first at the cloud will roll in and we will see some showers developing later. you may get a little bit of brightness before this cloud arrives, but it will arrive fairly quickly this morning, and in the showers through the afternoon, one of two of which could be quite heavy but not especially windy, that which a backup in double figures, ten or 11 celsius by the end of the afternoon. overnight but we see a risk of one or two showers, some... on the whole it will be cloudy, temperatures staying above zero. townsend cities between four and six celsius. we could see some fog developing as well. some brighter

spells, some chance of one or two showers and then some cloud around and we will see rain throughout the week. and i will be back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in halfan latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. until then there is plenty more on our website at the usual address. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest from the oscars overnight, but also on breakfast this morning: bannister has done it, though he's out on his feet, his coach and team manager tell him he's achieved his ambition. we remember the running legend sir roger bannister with one of the british athletes he inspired, steve cram. adventurer ben fogle and olympian victoria pendleton will be here before they embark upon their everest climb. we'll find out how ben's planning to overcome a particularly tricky hurdle, his fear of heights. and we'll wave off zoe ball

as she sets off on her 300—mile sport relief cycle ride from blackpool to brighton. apparently she gets to eat loads of cake, which makes up for having to wear padded pants. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. it was oscars night. a great one for gary oldman. he told his 98—year—old mother to put the kettle on because he was bringing oscar home as he was crowned best actor for his portrayal of sir winston churchill in darkest hour. frances mcdormand was named best actress. the best film prize went to the shape of water. from los angeles, here's our correspondent, james cook. after a year of darkness, a splash of colour returned to hollywood. the black threads of protest were gone, although the determination to call time's up on abuse and to create a more inclusive industry remained. if i may be so honoured to have

all the female nominees in every category stand with me in this room tonight... best actress winner frances mcdormand had a message for the moguls. look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. and the winner is, gary oldman, darkest hour. congratulations! there were four more british wins, including one for the silent child, a short film about a deaf little girl from wiltshire. i made a promise to our 6—year—old lead actress that i would sign this speech, and my hands are shaking a bit so i apologise. last year, this famous duo announced

at the wrong winner. no such problem this time. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. this is the vanity fair after party, the biggest stars go there, we are there through the programme this morning hoping we get to catch up with gary oldman and are able to speak to him about winning his oscar. loads of pictures coming out, plenty of reaction to the oscars on social media. this is what happens when frances mcdormand and meryl streep go head to head, this is when

meryl streep congratulates her for her best actress when. it looks like a head—butt but it's very affectionate congratulations. interestingly one of those awards went to roger deakins, a british cinematographer, nominated 13 times and never won an oscar. his 14th nomination for blade runner 20119. 20 more stories from that british success. the silent child, many will know about this film, about a girl who struggles to communicate, it was named best live action short film. it was written by two former hollyoa ks stars. it was written by two former hollyoaks stars. it it was written by two former hollyoa ks stars. it stars it was written by two former hollyoaks stars. it stars mazy sky, just six from swindon, and more on that later. sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of crossing

an ethical line in a report by mps, who say they used medication to enhance performance. a report by the digital, culture, media and sport committee says they were used to enhance performance rather than just for medical need. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. and in moments we'll be talking to damian collins, the chair of the committee which produced the report. millions in london and south—east england have been told to limit their use of water or risk having none at all after thousands of homes and businesses were left with no water after thawing temperatures caused burst pipes and leaks across the uk. suppliers across the country reported a high volume of calls and asked for customers to be patient while repairs are being carried out. italy appears to be heading for a hung parliament after voters backed

rightleaning populist parties there. former prime ministers silvio berlusconi's right—wing coalition looks set to win the most seats in the lower house. and formal government may take a few weeks and negotiations and government building will be held. we had information from gavin lee earlierfrom rome and we will be back with him later in the show. this is my favourite animal story of the year so far. it's not every day a baby chimpanzee learns to fly. this is the moment mussa co—piloted his own rescue mission. the baby chimp bonded with his rescuer during theirflight home together after he was saved from poachers in the congo. taking a pretty relaxed approach to flying there. preening in the back as well. ijust love flying there. preening in the back as well. i just love that! we will be speaking to damian collins in a few moments, he chaired this committee, john, which has

produced the report which is on the front and back pages of the papers about british cycling. it casts a shadow i guess over the legacy bradley wiggins has left in the sport and him himself. it's worth pointing out that in sport, athletes are able to take drugs that they wouldn't normally be allowed to take because they are banned, if they can prove they have a genuine medical need. bradley wiggins in the past has done so using what's called a therapeutic use exemption, doctors' certificate saying has asthma or allergies. what the report has found is team sky and bradley wiggins have been unethical, not only taking the drug for medical reasons, but taking it to get an unfair competitive advantage. that's the key line that has come out of the report, it is unethical, it will be treating to hear from damian collins shortly. sir bradley wiggins will have more to say about this in the coming days, team sky and bradley wiggins obviously refute all these

allegations, but it's potentially very damaging and we will be hearing more on that through breakfast. now, if you want to beat germany at football, who better to turn to than david beckham? back in 2001, beckham captained england to their famous 5—1win over the germans in munich. so new england women's head coach phil neville got his old friend to give his lionesses side a pep talk ahead of their shebelieves cup match in new jersey. he's pictured here with strikerjodie taylor. it's fair to say it made a difference. beckham watched from the stands as england's women twice fought back to draw with germany. there was agony for millie bright when her own goal gave germany a 2—1 lead. germany are the second highest ranked team in women's football. but ellen white, scorer of england's first, then rescued them for a second time. 2—2 it finished. england's last game is against the usa on thursday. they are the number one ranked team. it was one of those moments where

you had to be in there to feel how special... look, he's my friend, i just see him as david beckham but the actual status of him in english football and world football was shown in that moment when he went in because there was casts of excitement and real respect. it was a special moment. manchester city are just four games away from winning the premier league thanks to a 1—0 victory over reigning champions chelsea. having already won the league cup, their next piece of silverware is on the horizon. bernardo silva's second—half strike enough to claim all three points at the etihad. city 18 points clear at the top. arsenal fans might want to look away. a week on from that defeat in the league cup to city, they lost again, this time to brighton. 2—1 it finished, lewis dunk and glenn murray with the brighton goals. it's arsenal's fourth defeat in a row and many fans are increasing their calls for manager arsene wenger to go. rangers and celtic have been drawn to play each other

in the scottish cup semi—finals after rangers beat falkirk 4—1 at ibrox yesterday. jason cummings scored a hat—trick. motherwell beat hearts in the other quarter—final and will face either aberdeen or kilmarnock. there was a great finale for great britain at the world indoor athletics championships in birmingham, with andrew pozzi winning gold in the men's 60 metre hurdles. he looked to have been pipped on the line by the americanjarret eaton. but after a photo finish, pozzi won it byjust one hundredth of a second, for his first global title. my my heart stopped at the end of there. i knew at the fifth hurdle i was behind and i can't describe how much i wanted it, was growing my body at the line trying to get there and just about got there. this championships has been amazing and to be voted co—captain for this championships is the biggest honour of my life. every single member of this team has just been perfect and

i'm just delighted that i could win at the end. incredibly tight finish, wasn't it? kyle edmund was just 11 years old when andy murray first became british tennis number one, now he's replacing him in the top spot. with murray injured for much of the season, edmund has had a chance to move up the rankings. he reached the semi—finals of the australian open, and he knocks murray off the top for the first time since 2006. i suppose it caps off what's been a great run for kyle edmund, reaching the semifinals and now british number one. how long he will stay depends on andy murray's injury and return to full fitness. thanks ray mutch, you will be with us through the programme. —— thanks very much. let's pick up on one of the main storiesjohn was talking about. the issue of doping in british sport is once again in the headlines. sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of crossing an ethical line in their use of drugs. a report by the digital, culture, media and sport committee says they were used to enhance performance rather than just

for medical need. both have strongly refuted the claims. the committee chair, damian collins, joins us from our london newsroom. good morning to you, damian, thank you for your time this morning. i'm aware many will be turning on their televisions and looking at the newspapers reading this report for the very first time. can you firstly run us the very first time. can you firstly run us through the major findings? as you say, the main debate in the report is about the ethical use of medicines and that word unethical that was quoted earlier wasn't our word but a word in the report from shane sutton, bradley wiggins' coach. in this report we're saying whether there need to be much tighter rules around the sort of medications that be used. we focused ona drug medications that be used. we focused on a drug which is an extremely powerful drug and can be used to treat asthma but has known performance enhancing properties and with a drug like l—carnitine, there

are alternatives to be taken to treat asthma, it isn't one that you should take unless in an emergency. they should be restricted from sports and cycling and can be clearly used to give riders and edge. there have been various investigations into doping into british sport led by uk anti—doping, these agencies need much greater financial resource to cope with the sheer volume of work out there for them to do, but also they need more power. other countries have laws that make it a cronulla fence to supply drugs in order to help someone supply drugs in order to help someone doped and get a competitive advantage in sport —— criminal offence. visa against the anti—doping rules rather than crossing a legal line —— these are. we need criminal powers are so anti—doping agencies can call on the police and other law enforcement agencies to gather evidence quickly where they believe there's good grounds there's been an anti—doping

violation. to clarify, will reduce some of the statements from team sky and bradley wiggins in a moment, what they've done at the moment to your mind isn't breaking the law but it is unethical —— i will. have they done this in other countries they would be subject to criminal prosecution? they are slightly different things. ethically, team sky and sir david brailsford, he told the committee he thought there was an ethical line and he only used medicines to treat medical need and not enhance performance. the evidence we got in our enquiry suggested that line was being crossed. what i'm talking about in terms of criminalisation, where you break the current doping laws, you're using banned substances. we're not accusing anyone of doing that but when you do use banned su bsta nces that but when you do use banned substances in some countries as a criminal offence that can lead to prosecution. that gives the law—enforcement agencies and anti—doping authorities legal powers to seize documents and financial records to go in without warning as

pa rt records to go in without warning as part of investigations. we don't have those powers here but certainly v has felt there work is hampered because they don't have the power and authority to act and i think we should have that in the country at the moment -- ukad. team sky said they are disappointed the committee has chosen to present the claim in this way without giving us evidence or presenting us with the opportunity to respond. bradley wiggins said it is sad accusations can be made where people can be accused of things they are never done that are then regarded as fax. i strongly refute the claim that any drug was used without medical need. i hope to have my say in the next few days and put my side across. shayne sutton, bradley wiggins's coach at the time said the word unethical. it is right that both

tea m unethical. it is right that both team sky and bradley wiggins should respond in full, but they are not based on a single anonymous source, but on a multiple that of sources. this is a damning report, what does this mean for the nature of sport and cycling in this country? the questions for cycling of the sport go back to the broader investigation that took place into the medical package that was delivered for bradley wiggins in 2011while he was competing in france. the lack of proper record—keeping of both british cycling and team sky to identify what that package was, the lack of oversight by team management into what the medical staff were doing, shows the need to be much tougher procedures. i think team sky would say and british cycling would say they have made improvements since those days but these investigations have shown a lack of proper clear guidance, proper supervision and what the medical

teams are doing, proper record—keeping. that is an issue for the sport and i think to me that needs to be seen alongside this use of whether there are certain drugs that were used legally within sport at the moment which have clear poor —— performance enhancing properties and whether they should be restricted, and whether we need broader legal powers to make sure that where we believe there has been use of a banned substance —— substance, authorities have the ability to investigate with the backing of the law. that is damian collins, the mp who chaired a committee of mps who reported. and their findings committee of mps who reported. and theirfindings are on many committee of mps who reported. and their findings are on many of the front pages this morning, the front page front pages this morning, the front page of the guardian and a number of other papers, wiggins and team sky abuse dating rules to win the tour. a huge story on both —— doping. we will talk about it more throughout the programme. also the really important, it was busy last week. i think it has come down a bit but still important? this morning it

isa but still important? this morning it is a chilly start the day, there is still a risk of ice on untreated services and for some of us, fog first thing in the morning. the general forecast is we have showers tending south, snow over the scottish hills, not quite as cold in the south but still cold in the north. let's look at the temperature for this coming week. is it going to get milder? the enter is yes, eventually. some of us it is going to bea eventually. some of us it is going to be a relatively mild day, you can see the blue hue across until thursday, as we go into the end of the week the yellow will take over and push up across the country to all but scotland. that is on the rise. this morning there is snow on the forecast across much of scotland, italy and the north—east, above about a couple of 100 metres. elsewhere there is a lot of cloud, some patchy cloud and showers, some drizzle across northern ireland. first thing this morning there is some sunshine further south, but

also a few showers. showers ahead of also a few showers. showers ahead of a weather front coming in also a few showers. showers ahead of a weatherfront coming in bringing some rain as we move through the day. some of that will be heavy across hampshire, dorset and also somerset. you may also see the other flash of lightning. temperature cot —— britta yze, 9— ten and 11 across this time of march, roughly where we should be. as we have that eastern wind across scotland exacerbating the cold feel with the wind chill. overnight this band of rain continues to push northwards as the weather front, as it continues to push northwards as the weatherfront, as it hits continues to push northwards as the weather front, as it hits the cold air across north—east england, we will see snow again, further snow across a couple of 100 metres, but we could see another few centimetres. again there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces, and there will also be some patchy mist and fog forming. tomorrow the weather front continues to push north, taking its rain and snow with

it. behind it will be a cloudy day we will see one or two brighter brea ks we will see one or two brighter breaks but the emphasis is on braid dave —— grey day rather than blue skies. temperatures up to about 10 celsius, still a scattering of showers across the south—west. moving forward into wednesday, we still have low pressure dominating the weather, again, the north—west seeing some wintry showers, we could seeing some wintry showers, we could see a few of those getting across northern ireland and a lot of dry weather as well. some of the showers in the south could be heavy with some hail and thunder embedded in them. temperature is nothing to write home about. claire back we know it is post— oscars morning, don't we. i have been writing down all sorts of little bits and bobs. let's go back to the vanity fair party. rebecca jones, some good news

for the brits as well this morning? it has been a really good night to the brits, and we are expecting to see some of them here on the blue and cream carpet of vanity fair, i am keeping half an eye over my shoulder because the stars are arriving thick and fast. basically what happens is after the ceremony, they go off to the governors ball which is where they either celebrate or commiserate winning their oscars, and then they have to choose one of the many parties that are going on, faye dunaway, we are live on the bbc, say hello to britain, good morning. you are presenting the best film again this year, after a slightly embarrassing situation last year. i wouldn't call it embarrassing, it was catastrophic. what was that like when you announced the wrong film last year? it wasjust mind crazy, because your mind doesn't quite know, you never

imagined that that can happen. it was a very difficult moment, and i couldn't get over it for a while, because even though the card was wrong, still i said it, he says, we we re wrong, still i said it, he says, we were the ones doing it. so there was a slight stigma i felt, and i am so glad that the academy found a way, you know, in psychiatry and repetition, the theory of repetition, the theory of repetition, you repeat something and he repeated until it comes out right. how nervous were you when you walked on stage this evening with warren beatty to announce the best picture award again? we have a bond, it was lovely standing, the standing ovation, it was nice being him and nice doing it again, we have come around it to the fact that it would be the right thing to do. people in britain would be waking up to the oscars, give us a sense for what it was and a big win for gary oldman.

he is incredible, he is a former —— performance was amazing.“ he is incredible, he is a former —— performance was amazing. it was oscar night, you know, in the streets they are dancing, they are shouting out from the cars, saying "where is this party? it is like a carnival. and yet the seriousness of the oscars is there. i am coming back, we are talking about doing a play in the west end. tell me more, what are you doing? we are looking at some tenancy williams, and at one point of my life i am —— tennessee. it would be nice to be in the west end. promise us he will talk about it on bbc breakfast. enjoy your evening. that was faye dunaway, and an oscar winner herself. she along with warren beatty went on stage this evening, to announce the best picture after having announced the wrong best picture last year. so i can imagine that was a nervous moment. let me look over my shoulder. we have had is actress

nominee in saoirse ronan, the stars are arriving thick and fast. back to you. extracting promises, thank you very much. if rebecca gets somebody, if we can speak to gary oldman at some stage, we wish it back to her. we will get some flavour of what was happening last night. this was the moment when meryl streep congratulates france's mcdormand on winning best —— test actress oscar. —— nest actress. this —— best. this photo captures some of the losers of best dress, but they cannot be —— actress. $100,000 per bag, at the oscars, it includes pepper spray,

one week in hawaii, 12 nights in tanzania with a plus one, a villa in greece, relief training to various phobias, anti— sweat patches, access toa phobias, anti— sweat patches, access to a dating at and a diamond necklace worth £1300. not bad if you get it. the number of people starting a project has fallen dramatically step is that a manufacturer in birmingham to find out. good morning body. can see this machine that steve is operating, we have metal being made in a foundry, with seats that have been sheared and going off into little strips which will be sent off to their customers, and it is used in all kinds of products, so mobile phones, security devices, lots of different, ca rs security devices, lots of different, cars as well. we are here because we are talking about apprentices and we have two here, gary and josh. the morning to you both. tell us about

what —— why you decided to do that readership. i fair sixth form and i wa nted readership. i fair sixth form and i wanted to go into a british rather than younie, because —— an apprenticeship rather than university, because i thought the cost was to invent —— too expensive and going into an apprenticeship you are learning on thejob. and going into an apprenticeship you are learning on the job. that is similarto me. i are learning on the job. that is similar to me. i went to university career year similar to me. i went to university career year but the lifestyle, it didn't really suit me, i wanted something more hand on where i could work. and how is it going? fantastic, i have been passed off three—year and i have been 6.5 years and it is fantastic. they give very much. the reason we are here is it is national apprentice ship week at the moment, and also there are some figured out suggesting the number of apprentices starting last year has gone down, so i will be talking to the manufacturers organisation about this, also to someone from one of the colleges in the area, to find out more about it. but first let's get the news, travel and weather

where you are this morning. good morning from bbc london news, i'm katharine carpenter. thousands of londoners are waking up without water this morning and others have been experiencing very low pressure following last weeks bad weather. thames water says it has now completed work to repair a large pipe that was leaking in the streatham area and water should return there in the next few hours but it's asking customers to use water sparingly. we have seen a large increase in the demand for water, will be driven by the amount of lea ks demand for water, will be driven by the amount of leaks we have got. we will see another increase on monday morning as customers come in and a normal week starts, and it is important there for that we worked really ha rd over important there for that we worked really hard over the next 2a hours to get on top of that, and customers do what they can as well. the metropolitan police has defended the intelligence database it uses to map criminal gangs — describing it as a vital tool in the fight against violent crime. a freedom of information request has revealed that 80% of gang members are black, according to the gangs matrix. the met says its methodology

is thorough and it identifies victims as well as perpetrators. if you are a young black man in london, you can be the subject of violence, as a victim, and be in again, and you will be on the matrix. and we will look to divert individuals away from a life of crime, and we do that in all aspects, but the matrix enables us to identify those individuals and support them out of a life of crime. let's have a look at the travel situation now. let's have a look at and damage caused by the bad weather means london overground has a shortage of trains and so there's no service from surrey quays to new cross. elsewhere on the roads the have a lot of problems because of burst water mains, this is west ealing where there are temperate traffic lights on broadway at drayton green, chifley road is closed to anson road and east dulwich grove is close new grove. burst water mains are causing

problems for the a va 20 at lewisham, mansell street in aldgate and amal ebo road near regents park. compared to last week this morning is feeling positively mild. we are in late single figures but it is not as cold. some bright spells at first but then the cloud will start to roll in and we will see some showers developing later on. we may get a little bit of rightness before this cloud arrives, but it will arrive fairly quickly this morning and then showers through the afternoon, one or two could be quite heavy, not especially windy but the temperature back up in double figures. ten or 11 by the afternoon. even tonight we run the risk of one or two showers, some clear spells out there but on the whole it will be rather cloudy. temperatures staying above zero, looking at 4—6 in towns and cities. we could see some mist and fog

developing as well, a murky start tomorrow morning. some cloud around at first, some bright shirt —— writer spells and the chance of a shower or two, we will see some rain throughout the week. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to louise and dan. bye for now. good morning, you are watching bbc brea kfast. to hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. mps accuse sir bradley wiggins and team sky of crossing an ethical line in their use of drugs, but they've strongly rejected the claims. good morning, it's monday the 5th of march. also this morning:

gary oldman finally has an oscar. put the kettle on... i'm bringing oscar. gary oldman has a message for his mum after winning the oscar for best actor for his portrayal of winston churchill. but the biggest cheer of the night was for the best actress winner frances mcdormand when she paid tribute to all the women nominees. if i may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me in this room tonight... and we've got a ticket for the vanity fair after show party. we'll be live from the red carpet talking to the stars as they arrive. a bevy of a—listers there. millions of people are told to limit their water use as thawing temperatures cause burst pipes. good morning. the number of people starting apprenticeships last year has fallen dramatically. they fell by a third. i'm at this manufacturer in birmingham to find out why. in sport, a pre—match pep talk

from david beckham helps inspire the england lionesses in new york. they twice come from a goal down to draw with germany in the shebelieves cup. and carol has the weather. good morning. the weather remains unsettled this week but not on the scale of last week. today some patchy mist and fog, some snow in the north, mostly in the hills, and showery outbreaks in the south. more details in 15 minutes. see you then, thank you. we will be talking about the oscars through the morning but first, our main story. britain's top olympian sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of crossing an ethical line in a report by mps, who say they used medication to enhance performance. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. adam wild reports. they are some of the biggest names in british sports but this long—awaited report represents perhaps the gravest blow yet

to their reputations. most significantly that of sir bradley wiggins, the nation's most decorated olympian. one of the things the report's authors point to is the use of certain drugs by wiggins and his former team, team sky, the purpose of which they say was not always to treat medical need but to improve performance. that is something both team sky and wiggins strongly refute. and whilst they didn't break anti—doping rules, they did, the report says, cross the ethical line. and the head of the team, sir david brailsford, must take responsibility. we believe now we need those same sort of, noel powers so anti—doping agencies can call on the police and other law enforcement agencies to gather evidence quickly where they believe there's good evidence to believe there's good evidence to believe there's good evidence to believe there's been an anti—doping violation. but this report goes much further than just cycling. they say the evidence of lord coe, the head of athletics‘ governing

body, to mps on the committee in 2015, was misleading when he sought to distance himself from any knowledge of allegations of doping in russian athletics. the report also speaks of shock at an injection of a drug called l—carnitine given to sir mo farah before the 2014 london marathon. whilst it isn't a banned substance, there are strict rules around its use, yet that dose didn't appear on farah's madical record. it's cycling, though, a sport which has already suffered a series of blows to its reputation, for which today's report will be most damaging. adam wild, bbc news. jon is here. jon, there's a real danger of serious damage to the reputation of cycling here isnt there absolutely. team sky as we know, the

way they position themselves in the sport, after an era when doping in cycling was very prevalent, they established the team and wanted to do things whiter than white and that is what sir dave brailsford, the head of the team, said, they wanted to do things clean and clean up the sport. that is what they seemingly did, they had great success as we know with bradley wiggins winning the 2012 tour de france, but what this has highlighted is... cheating in sport but also the way they are pushing the boundaries with the use of these therapeutic use exemptions, that's been the suggestion, as we know, for some cyclists, and athletes, they are able to take these tues, doctor's certificate, allowing you to take a banned substance for medical needs, medical purposes, but what they are saying here is they are doing so and it's giving them a competitive advantage, and unfairly, and they are pushing

the boundaries. where does this leave the team ? the boundaries. where does this leave the team? chris froome, he returned an adverse finding of a drug, as we know, where will this leave the team and where will it take them from here? thank you very much. sir bradley wiggins has given a statement, he said," i strongly refute the claim any drug was used without medical need. i will have my say in the next few days and put my side across". team sky say the report makes a serious claim that we used these to enhance performance and we strongly refute that. we will hear from and we strongly refute that. we will hearfrom bradley wiggins and we strongly refute that. we will hear from bradley wiggins over the coming days as well. gary oldman has told his 99—year—old mother to put the kettle on because he was bringing oscar home as he was crowned best actor for his portrayal of sir winston churchill in darkest hour. frances mcdormand was named best actress. the best film prize went to the shape of water. from los angeles, here's our correspondent, james cook. after a year of darkness, a splash

of colour returned to hollywood. the black threads of protest were gone, although the determination to call time's up on abuse and to create a more inclusive industry remained. if i may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me in this room tonight... best actress winner frances mcdormand had a message for the moguls. look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. and the winner is, gary oldman, darkest hour. for his transformation into winston churchill, the british actor saw v for victory and he thanked his 98—year—old mother. i say to my mother, "thank you for your love and support. put the kettle on, i'm bringing oscar home." congratulations! there were four more british wins, including one for the silent child,

a short film about a deaf little girl from wiltshire. i made a promise to our 6—year—old lead actress that i'd sign this speech, and my hands are shaking a little bit so i apologise. last year, this famous duo announced at the wrong winner. no such problem this time. the shape of water. the greatest thing our art does and our industry does is to erase the lines in the sand, we should continue doing that when the world tells us to make them deeper. so inclusion was the theme, change really is coming to hollywood was the message. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. let's just show you the scene if we can at the vanity fair after party. rebecca jones is there. we will go back to her in a couple of minutes. i've got a backup, we're going to go

to rebecca jones, good morning. yes, sorry, louise, i'm here with an oscar winner, our thirst of the night, and a man who's made history, the oldest oscar winner in history at the age of 89, james ivory. that's the only thing they're going to remember, years from now when my film is dust and all my other films are dust, they will remember i'm the oldest! a nice way to be remembered! james comey you won for best adapted screenplay for call me by my name, we re screenplay for call me by my name, were you surprised to win? everyone has said, the press said again and again that i was the front runner andl again that i was the front runner and i would probably win. that element of surprise... still, i might not have. i was excited and thrilled obviously. is it heavy, is

the oscar heavy, can you show it to viewers back home in britain? it's quite heavy. you must tell me about your shirt. it was painted actually by an english artist named andrew mania, from bristol, he had the idea of doing a shirt with timothy's face on it. the start of the film? yeah, i thought i would wear it. how are you going to celebrate?” i thought i would wear it. how are you going to celebrate? i have been celebrating. a bit more! i don't know. enjoy your evening and thanks for talking to us on bbc breakfast. james ivory, winner of best adapted screenplay, the oldest ever oscar winner at the age of 89. lovely to see him, congratulations to him. back with you later. thank you very much. that is a proper shirt, very nice! and in an attempt to make sure the ceremony didn't overrun, organisers offered a prize of a jet ski for the shortest acceptance speech. i think that should be done at every

awards ceremony ever! the costume designer from phantom thread, mark bridges, won an oscar for costume design and gave a speech that came in atjust 36 seconds. and ashleyjudd, salma hayek and annabella sciorra took to the stage for a time's up segment about breaking barriers and changing the culture in hollywood. director guillermo del toro won best director for the director guillermo del toro won best directorfor the shape director guillermo del toro won best director for the shape of water and this is him watching one of the awards getting engraved. that's one of the things you can do at the after show party. we spoke to fay dunaway earlier, rebecca jones spoke to her live at the vanity fair party, she was once away giving away the best picture for shape of water, which gmo del toro came up to collect, and did you see what he did? he came up to collect the shape of water and he did a little... to

check after last year when warren beatty and faye dunaway read out the wrong film. the didn't make, want to give an acceptance speech and then get collared off. customers in parts of london and the south east of england have been told to limit their use of water after thawing temperatures caused burst pipes. thousands of others have been left with no water at all. simon clemison is in west london where emergency supplies of bottled water are being distributed. simon, after quite a few days of freezing temperatures and snow and major disruption, the weak now sta rts major disruption, the weak now starts with people struggling to get their water? it's amazing, isn't it? welcome to what they call a water station, the consequences of the weather don't seem to end. a massive truck here full of bottles being handed out to 12,000 people in london who are still struggling with their supplies this morning, not the only part of the country to struggle. severn trent water had to

apologise to customers in rugby because of the taps running dry. it's warmer in london than it was when it was snowing and in some parts yesterday it got to nearly 12, if you think about it, having been _4’ if you think about it, having been -4, that if you think about it, having been “11, that is a rise of 16 degrees. we know cooling down the pipes and warming them up causes lots of problems with bursts and leaks. overnight i spoke to some of the people who have been affected. i haven't had a shower today unfortunately. there's no water in the taps, no shower. i work in the pub downstairs and they have no water so i had to shut early. you run a restaurant, what's it like to come in and find no water? it is critical. without water you can't do any business. you can't wash up? exactly. you can't wash up, you can't prep food, you can't operate. i went down to the corner, unfortunately no water last night, now the sink is working but i don't know when they're going to fix all the problems. with so much water leaking out of

the system, thames water has to make sure there's enough coming in so it hasissued sure there's enough coming in so it has issued this advice to people to ta ke has issued this advice to people to take showers, not baths, fully load the washing machine and not to wash the washing machine and not to wash the car, which you will never find me complaining about! very true, simon, good to talk to you this morning. let us know what situation you're facing because all last week we we re you're facing because all last week we were getting your pictures of the snow and ice and freezing temperatures. many people waking up this morning and lots of calls into various water companies to say we're struggling with our supply, we're not getting anything through the taps, so let us know, we will paint a picture what's happening nationwide. in other news: united nations officials in syria say they hope an escalation in fighting in the rebel—held enclave of eastern ghouta over the weekend won't prevent them from taking in humanitarian supplies today. president assad has given permission for the aid convoy, but said the government's military offensive to retake the area must continue.

the south, we already have them in the south, we already have them in the south—west and parts of wales, and some snow over the scottish hills. we have a couple of weather fronts across our shores, and they are moving steadily northwards, both of them as we go through the day, if we have a look at them you can see connected to this area of low pressure, some rain coming from the south, this one is bringing some snow across the very far north—east of england, and eastern parts of scotland. most of the snow is falling above a couple of 100 metres. a lot of dry weather first thing this morning, some mist and fog and we will see some rain and snow across eastern areas of scotland, on the hills above 200 metres is where we have the snow. a great day across northern ireland with some snow, the so across higher ground across the far north—east of england clearing and then some brighter skies across the south and showers in the south—west. those showers in the south—west. those showers will be replaced by a rain as we go through the day and some heavy burst coming across hampshire,

dorset and somerset as it continues to move northwards. we will see that rain coming in across western parts of wales. at quite cloudy and grey in between, and temperatures, five and above to about 10— 11 in the south. the band of rain continues to advance northwards as it bumps into the cold air across northern england and scotland, once again, we will have some snow but mainly on the hills. however we could see another few centimetres of fresh snow falling. meanwhile we have rain moving across northern ireland and into the west of scotland. with all this going on there is the risk of aisam untreated surfaces. tomorrow we start off with the weather front pushing northwards bringing rain to lower levels, some sleep in there and snow on the hills, away from that quite cloudy day tomorrow, but promised it be dry, a gent except for in the south—west where we do have some showers. the wednesday, we

still have a weather front, this is an area of low pressure which will be with us for much of the week, everything is toppling around the top of that, so northwest scotland will see some of those wintry showers. some showers which will also be wintry at times across northern ireland, and we have some showers across southern counties of england. some of those could be heavy and we are likely to see some hailand heavy and we are likely to see some hail and thunder and lightning. it will be fully cloudy in between but there will be a lot of dry weather around. in summary, as we go through this week, it will slowly become more mild for some of us in the south, we are looking at temperatures in the double figures. it will remain unsettled but most of the snow will be above about 200 metres in the north of the country. i think ithinki i think i might have broken something. is it before —— because you have been nervous about maths? i

have already got my number is wrong this morning. if being asked to recite your times tables or do some long division brings you out in a cold sweat, you're not alone. according to a new report from the british academy, there's growing evidence that an anxiety about maths exists more than other subjects and despite efforts to tackle it, it's not getting any better. as part of our maths series, we sentjayne mccubbin back to her old school. 0h oh my goodness. i am going back to school. this is where i spent most of the 1980s. it was built in the 60s, back when mass anxiety was first identified. hello teachers, how are you? this is the very hall where i flunked maths in 1986, and exa m where i flunked maths in 1986, and exam i will resit in may 2018. the you're in and an anxious students? many anxious students. you're in and an anxious students? many anxious studentslj you're in and an anxious students? many anxious students. i remember weeping at home, having to remember times tables. you had a touch of mass anxiety, didn't you?”

certainly did, i was frightened to death of maths. that is why our taught english! why it is it that so many people have this emotional response to what is essentially a series of logical problems? manchester university has now analysed almost 800 research papers on maths anxiety for the royal academy. you don't hear people talking about english anxiety or science anxiety, but maths anxiety does seem to be a thing? it is like everything else, they are only afraid of something if they think they can't do it. so it is a matter of getting to the bottom of it, deciding what it is they can't do, and unpicking it and giving them all the help they need to get through it. if it is that easy, why has so little progress been made in the last 50 years? teacher bobby is not just tutoring me through my gcse, he is researching maths in sidey for his deep. it is subject whereas school it is something you get right

a wrong, if you think you cannot do maths, that imprints on you for the rest of your life. there is a misconception known as the maths brain, if you make a mistake it is because you think you are no good at an innate talent, but maths is something we can all work on. let me introduce at teenager who did exactly that. can we still callan? how bad was maths anxiety for you? it was dreadful at first, it was in the chest, it was just constant every day, i wasn't able to revise maths because i was so scared. but today, calum is helping different mindset. one thing we all have in common is that we have found a way to reach our individual potential. advice on the bbc website to help children reduce the stress of exams. you stop being afraid and making mistakes? i learnt that mistakes we re mistakes? i learnt that mistakes were meant to be made, that is part of learning, especially with maps, e—learning from your mistakes more

than your success. un from failing, had it and up? i ended up getting an ain had it and up? i ended up getting an a in the end, it was great. it can be done. the royal academy says teachers need to focus less on tests and more on basic understanding. as the breakfast maths challenge team is about to discover, maths should be all about the journey, notjust the destination. good luck to jane, and they have all volunteered to do their gcse maths. now we want to get you involved by asking you to solve this puzzle, which has been set by our maths challenge tutor, bobby seagull. it'll also be on our social media feeds. the three little pigs have built a house together. i not inot ——i i not —— i know what you are thinking, why are they having a tea break? is not a real story, but that is the question to you. he might be better brain the working time

directive, we know that as well. —— disobeying the working time directive. the question is across all our social media as well. and you do have to show your working. quite a few people are having a go. only about half are getting it right so only about half are getting it right so far. have a go at that and while you do it, let's get some news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm katharine carpenter. thousands of londoners are waking up without water this morning following last week's bad weather. thames water says it has now completed work to repair a large pipe that was leaking in the streatham area and water should return there in the next few hours but it's asking customers to use water sparingly. we have seen a large increase in the demand for water, will be driven by the amount of leaks we have got. we will see another increase on monday morning as customers come in and a normal week starts, and it is important therefore

that we work really hard over the next 2a hours to get on top of that, and customers do what they can as well. the metropolitan police has defended the intelligence database it uses to map criminal gangs — describing it as a vital tool in the fight against violent crime. a freedom of information request has revealed that 80% of gang members are black, according to the gangs matrix. the met says its methodology is thorough and it identifies victims as well as perpetrators. if you are a young black man in london, you can be the subject of violence, as a victim, and be in again, and you will be of violence, as a victim, and be in a gang, and you will be on the matrix. and we will look to divert individuals away from a life of crime, and we do that in all aspects, but the matrix enables us to identify those individuals and support them out of a life of crime. let's have a look at the travel situation now. and damage caused by the bad weather means london overground has a shortage of trains and so there's

no service from surrey quays to new cross. on the roads we've got lots of problems because of burst water mains. this is west ealing where there are temporary traffic lights on the broadway at drayton green road. in cricklewood chichele road is closed near to anson road. east dulwich grove closed near derwent grove and finally those burst water mains also causing problems for the a21 at bromley common, the a20 in lewisham, mansell street in aldgate and the marlybone road near regents park. let's get a check let's get a check on let's get a check on the let's get a check on the weather let's get a check on the weather now. compared to last week this morning is feeling positively mild, still in low single figures, but not as cold. some bright spells at first but then the cloud will start to roll in and we will see some showers developing a little later. you may get a little bit of rightness for this cloud arrives, but it will arrive fairly quickly this morning and then the showers, ten two of which might be heavy but the

temperature back up in double figures, ten or 11 celsius by the end of the afternoon. overnight tonight we run the risk of one or two showers, some clear spells out there but overall it will be rather cloudy. temperatures staying above zero, looking at a minimum in towns and cities of 4— six celsius. some mist and fog developing as well, quite murky start tomorrow, some low cloud around at least at first, some brighter spells again, maybe one or two showers, and then a lot of cloud around, but we will see some rain throughout the week. and i will be back with another update before eight o'clock, 20 more online but for now i will hand you back to dan and louise. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of crossing an ethical line in a report by mps, who say they used medication to enhance performance. a report by the digital, culture,

media and sport committee says they were used to enhance performance rather than just for medical need. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. the british actor gary oldman has won best actor at last night's oscars for his portrayal of sir winston churchill in darkest hour.” would like to thank my mother, who is older than the oscar, she is 99 yea rs is older than the oscar, she is 99 years young next birthday... applause she's watching the ceremony from the comfort of her sofa. i say to my mother, thank you for your love and support. put the kettle on, i'm bringing oscar home. go and have a tea! magnificently british! frances mcdormand urged female

actresses to stand up in the crowd. if i may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me in this room tonight... the actors, meryl, if you do it, eve ryo ne actors, meryl, if you do it, everyone else will. the filmmakers, the producers, the directors, the writers, the cinematographer, the composers, the songwriter is. look around, everybody, look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financing. shape of water, in 13 categories, came away with four. there's been plenty of social media response. this was the moment when meryl streep congratulates frances mcdormand head to head on winning the best actress oscar. by by our friends by ourfriends in

by our friends in case you are wondering! —— they are friends. this behind the scenes photo captures a moment between the best actress losers after frances mcdormand's speech. and this is helen mirren backstage at the oscars enjoying her night. jimmy kimmel gave away a jet ski for the shortest speech, someone did 36 seconds, which is still quite long. great news for the silent child, a six—year—old deaf girl, it won for best live action short film and it was made by two former hollyoaks stars. we spoke to them earlier and hopefully we will speak to them again but they were truly delighted. british successful roger deakins, a cinematographer. he was 13 times nominated in cinematography and never won the oscar —— british

success for. this time he won it for blade runner 2049, his 14th effort, congratulations to roger. millions of people in london and south east england have been told to limit their use of water or risk having none at all. this comes after thousands of homes and businesses were left with no water after thawing tempratures caused burst pipes and leaks across the uk. suppliers across the country reported a high volume of calls and asked customers to be patient while repairs are carried out. italy appears to be heading for a hung parliament after voters backed rightleaning populist parties there. former prime ministers silvio berlusconi's right—wing coalition looks set to win the most seats in the lower house. and formal government may take a few weeks and negotiations and government building will be held. we had information from gavin lee earlier from rome and we will be back with him later in the show. john is here and let's talk about

the headlines, the news about cycling. let's pull out a few, this was the front page of the guardian, this report we know came out today from mps, which highlights the medication that cyclists and other people within sport have been taking. as we know some substances that are normally banned can be taken if you apply for a tue, a therapeutic use exemption, which will allow you to take a banned substance if you have a medical need, wiggins has done that in the past, he applied for a tue and that allowed him to take a substance previously banned. this report found they are cheating by unethically pushing the boundaries, taking something which you wouldn't normally be allowed to do but you're cheating the system and in so it is unethical. that's the key finding. sir bradley wiggins and team sky are shooting these allegations. he will speak later this week and come out

with more detail? his legacy in the sport will be affected here certainly. now, if you want to beat germany at football, who better to turn to than david beckham? back in 2001, beckham captained england to their famous 5—1win over the germans in munich. so new england women's head coach phil neville got his old friend to give his lionesses side a pep talk ahead of their shebelieves cup match in new jersey. he's pictured here with strikerjodie taylor. it's fair to say it made a difference. beckham watched from the stands as england's women twice fought back to draw with germany. there was agony for millie bright when her own goal gave germany a 2—1 lead. germany are the second highest ranked team in women's football. but ellen white, scorer of england's first, then rescued them for a second time. england's last game is against the usa on thursday. they are the number one ranked team. i don't think an england team has created the number of clear—cut chances as they did tonight against

germany for a long time. i'm pleased with the team, pleased with the attitude. people back home will be saying we're heading in the right direction and now i can't wait for the last game, the last game we've probably all been waiting for, the usa game. it will be nice to go and get a bit of sunshine on our back because it's been freezing the last two games. interesting to see how they get on against the usa as well. manchester city are just four games away from winning the premier league thanks to a 1—0 victory over reigning champions chelsea. having already won the league cup, their next piece of silverware is on the horizon. bernardo silva's second—half strike enough to claim all three points at the etihad. city 18 points clear at the top. arsenal fans might want to look away. a week on from that defeat in the league cup to city, they lost again, this time to brighton. 2—1 it finished, lewis dunk and glenn murray with the brighton goals. it's arsenal's fourth defeat in a row and many fans are increasing their calls for manager arsene wenger to go. rangers and celtic have been

drawn to play each other in the scottish cup semi—finals after rangers beat falkirk 4—1 at ibrox yesterday. jason cummings scored a hat—trick. motherwell beat hearts in the other quarter—final and will face either aberdeen or kilmarnock. kyle edmund was just 11 years old when andy murray first became british tennis number one, now he's replacing him in the top spot. with murray injured for much of the season, edmund has had a chance to move up the rankings. he reached the semi—finals of the australian open, and he knocks murray off the top for the first time since 2006. i suppose it caps off what's been a great run for kyle edmund, reaching the semifinals and now british number one. how long he will stay depends on andy murray's injury and return to full fitness. testa m e nt to testament to the season he's having. when andy murray returns an sure that they will change places but who knows when he will be back, i'm sure sooner knows when he will be back, i'm sure sooner than expected, but we will have to see —— returns i'm sure. let's remember an amazing man in

sport. sir roger bannister running a mile in just three minutes 59.4 seconds remains one of the greatest moments in british sporting history. but remarkably, sir roger viewed running as something to be done in his spare time. the man who inspired generations after him died on saturday aged 88. let's look back at his life. 25—year—old roger bannister, third from left, gets away at the iffley ground, oxford, for the race of his life. on the sixth of may, 1954, so roger bannister broke, oracle, running in three minutes, 59.4 seconds. it was a feat that many thought impossible and it very nearly didn't happen at all as he only decided to raise half an hour before. but the 25—year—old medical student played down his achievement. all i can say is i'm absolutely overwhelmed and delighted. it was a great surprise to me to be able to do it today and i think i was very

lucky. bannister goes streaking forward with about 250 yards to the tapes... he was one of the cleverest people i think i've ever met and he was in equal measure modest as well. he never really got what he did. and it wasn't a front, he just, sort of said, well, there's the line, i'm quite lucky. more people have actually individually climbed everest than have run the four—minute mile. it's an extraordinary achievement. at the end of 1954, roger bannister retired from athletics and later became a consultant new logistics. and later the first chairman of the sports council. tributes to him have been paid by some of the biggest names in sport, and although he only held the record for 46 days, his feat has been inspiring people for more than 60 years. let's talk to one of those people he did inspire, steve cram. good morning. tell us about what you thought of him and when you were

first aware of roger bannister?” was very young, louise, was about 15 or16 was very young, louise, was about 15 or 16 when i watched... my coach made me watch those films over and over again. long before that i heard about roger bannister but didn't understand the impact of what he had done. i've read my first book about him as an athlete, the for minute mile, when i was growing up in the 70s as a young athlete, athletics was becoming very popular and what he did in1954 was becoming very popular and what he did in 1954 was inspiring a whole new generation, including seb and myself and steve ovett. it is that he has gone but he's left an incredible legacy. tell us about the race, people run faster than that now but this was a breakthrough, wasn't it? not many people run faster than that now, a four—minute mile is still pretty good. doctors we re mile is still pretty good. doctors were saying until four or five years before that people would die in the

quest to break the four—minute mile. there was a myth around it so you're right, when he broke it quicklyjohn landy and others followed suit and broke it as well but there was that psychological barrier and the race to be the first man to break four minutes was incredible. it really ca ptu red minutes was incredible. it really captured the imagination of the public. that grainy film you saw went around the world. it was an achievement of its time. he was one of those pioneering people of the 19505 of those pioneering people of the 1950s and i think because of the new advent of how the media was working as well, it just advent of how the media was working as well, itjust reached a lot of people around the world. roger never, ever. . . people around the world. roger never, ever... you said it in your clip, he wanted to play it down, he was a modest man, but he never ever really wa nted was a modest man, but he never ever really wanted to take full credit. he had chris chat away, chris brayshaw helping him, and he probably didn't realise the impact he had on people like myself. tell us, steve, you have helped the mile

record as well, what it is like when you are holding a record like that? we strive in athletics to win and run as quick as we can. that is a measure of how good you are. one day, you're improving and improving, and then you break a world record and then you break a world record and you're the fastest person in the world. it's a lovely club to join, the milers club is an incredible club, he has beenjoined by some lovely people i have met over the yea rs lovely people i have met over the years including steve ovett, seb, derek ibbotson, sadly who passed away in the last few years, and they are very special people. sometimes you don't hold it for long, 46 days for him, i had it fora you don't hold it for long, 46 days for him, i had it for a few weeks, the only thing you know is they are going to go at some point, these records. steve, you made it look easy! exactly! that's the point, all sports people at the top of their game make it look easy. it felt

quite easy at the time and i thought i would go back and make it quicker next time but you forget how hard it is. happy days. just briefly, appreciate if you don't want to a nswer appreciate if you don't want to answer this, we've been talking about the allegations about british cycling today, do you want to comment? it is a very complicated issue, the whole issue around tues. this commons select committee turned the spotlight on something people in sport have been aware of and working with for a long time, and for the public they might just with for a long time, and for the public they mightjust be getting to grips with it. tues are an important and complicated part of what we do. we have to protect the health of athletes competing at the highest level. we have to be careful we don't step over the line in terms of misusing tues. i welcome any scenario where we make sure we get the guidelines right on that. i don't think anyone has done anything that have broken the rules around doping, i'm sure of that, and some

of the headlines coming out probably aren't at it. but shining the spotlight is important to make sure we don't make any mistakes going forward. steve cram, great to talk to you as always, thanks forjoining on bbc breakfast. let's find out what is happening with this morning ‘s weather. good morning. the weather this week is going to be unsettled, but not as extreme as it was last week. still snow in the forecast, some of that falling at the moment. most of the couple of 100 metres, and most in the north. further south we have some showers coming our way followed by some rain. that is courtesy of this area of low pressure. it is going to be with us for much of the week as these fronts coming, they will bring in some rain, in the north we have weather fronts moving northwards bringing snow, mostly with height. first thing this morning we have some bright weather,

also some patchy mist and fog across eastern parts of scotland and the hills, here too you can see a mixture of rain and snow, the snow is mostly with height. for the rest of scotla nd is mostly with height. for the rest of scotland and northern england, they will lose the morning snow and it will be great, northern ireland you will have a grade a is well with some rain and drizzle on and off throughout the day. the bright skies in the south are indicated by the weather front pushing northwards, added that the cloud will build but we will see heavier rain coming our way across hampshire, dorset and somerset. temperatures today, 10— 11 in the south, roughly where it should be at the stage of march. if you are in north—east scotland, it you are in north—east scotland, it you have the easterly wind so you have more of a significant windchill. as we had on through the evening and overnight, this band of rain continues to advance northwards, as it engages with the colder air, snow above 100 metres

and it is the same across scotland. towards the west it is more likely to be rain that we have, and with this combination and low temperatures, tonight there is also the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. so tomorrow we start off with a weather front, still moving northwards, low levels across scotla nd northwards, low levels across scotland will see rain and sleet mostly, some heavier showers, you might seea mostly, some heavier showers, you might see a little bit of snow but most of the snow will be on higher ground. moving away from southern and central parts of scotland, we are looking at drier conditions, but quite a bit of cloud around, a grey day tomorrow despite the fact that it will be driver most. there will be some showers across the south—west. in aberdeen is going to be cold, warmer towards london. as we head into wednesday, low pressure still with us, everything moving around it, northwest scotland will

see some wintry showers. also northern ireland. the rest of the uk it will be dry, a fair bit of cloud around and some showers in the south, and some of the heavier ones we could well see some hail. we will take you back los angeles, rebecca jones is on the not red carpet. good morning, i have got to british success stories here, roger deacons who has won best cinematographer, show us your oscar and the british start nominated best actor, daniel kaluuya, who wanted to know whether it was still snowing at home, didn't you? is it still snowing? no. i will go home, didn't you? is it still snowing? no. iwill go back home, didn't you? is it still snowing? no. i will go back than! roger, what does this mean to you to win? it means aim still here doing it, iam

us here, good morning to you both. tell us why you decided to do an apprenticeship. i was getting paid to learn, it felt as though learning along with the job, it was a lot more practical then mental if you like, going to university. i thought an apprenticeship was a clever route for me. and harry, you have lots of work here, but you are at university as well, how this your life compare? ido as well, how this your life compare? i do have friends at university, majority are studying elsewhere in the uk and in comparison to what i do, what they do is mostly, they spend most of their time, three hours at uni, i spent eight hours here, they go out at night, i have to focus on supporting myself. you guys to focus on supporting myself. you guys are to focus on supporting myself. you guys are renting while you do it. obviously some people would say that you are not earning an awful amount of money doing this, does that

bother you? there is always a goal inside, when you start off and you are on a lower wage than what you would be if you went straight into full—time work, it is disheartening at times, but when you see the end goal, the light at the end of the tunnel, it is something to work towards and it is an achievement when you get there. thank you for yourtime, i when you get there. thank you for your time, i know you will get on with your work. we have dawn here who is from local college, we have heard from these guys talking about their engineering apprenticeships, but there are so many more than that. you can go into care, hairdressing, hospitality, you might wa nt hairdressing, hospitality, you might want to be a chef, it you want to study foodservice and there are others like it, accounting, that people might not have heard about. and verity here from the eef, it is national apprentice ship week, but the number of people starting apprenticeships is down, white you think that is? in the six months

following the start of the levy, pritchard fell by 40%. the government had imposed a number of rules and restrictions on spending those funds. if employers can't spend their money, we can't get apprenticeships started, so we need to make a quick fix for that, because it is national open ship week, we want to see more apprentices starting, so we want to make sure the government gets the apprenticeship levy right? what do you think will make the difference of getting more students into your couege? of getting more students into your college? it is about getting the message out to parents, of all the different sectors that are there for them to do, go talk to your local couege them to do, go talk to your local college around the country, they can give you clear information, on their websites, career coach which will tell you about salaries, all the information is there, so make sure you find out about it. thank you very much to your time, i appreciate it and we will be talking to appear more people later on, but first gets —— let's get the news, travel and weather where you are this morning.

good morning from bbc london news, i'm katharine carpenter. thousands of londoners are waking up without water this morning water shortages have closed schools across the capital and thousands of homes are without water following damage caused by the bad weather. thames water says it has now repaired the large pipe causing problems in streatham and water should return there in the next few hours but other places are still affected and customers are being asked to use resources sparingly. we have seen a large increase in the demand for water, will be driven by the amount of leaks we have got. we will see another increase on monday morning as customers come in and a normal week starts, and it is important therefore that we work really hard over the next 24 hours to get on top of that, and customers do what they can as well. the metropolitan police has defended the intelligence database it uses to map criminal gangs — describing it as a vital tool in the fight against violent crime. a freedom of information request has revealed that 80% of gang members are black, according to the gangs matrix. the met says its methodology

is thorough and it identifies victims as well as perpetrators. the former city worker who has made it his mission to clean up london's waterways says he can't keep up with the amount of rubbish dumped every day. 300 tons of plastic are cleared from the thames each year according to the port of london authority, and dhruv boruah does his bit from a floating bamboo bicycle. just this morning i collected bottles, energy drinks, packaging. ican't morning i collected bottles, energy drinks, packaging. i can't collect everything because if i collect everything because if i collect everything i will sink. and you can see the full story on inside out tonight on bbc one at 730. let's have a look at the travel situation now. and damage caused by the bad weather means london overground has a shortage of trains and so there's no service from surrey quays to new cross. on the roads we've got lots of problems because of burst water mains. this is west ealing where there are temporary traffic lights on the broadway at

drayton green road. in cricklewood chichele road is closed near to anson road. east dulwich grove closed near derwent grove and finally those burst water mains also causing problems for the a21 at bromley common. let's get a check on the weather now. compared to last week this morning is feeling positively mild, still in low single figures, but not as cold. some bright spells at first but then the cloud will start to roll in and we will see some showers developing a little later. you may get a little bit of rightness for this cloud arrives, but it will arrive fairly quickly this morning and then the showers, ten two of which might be heavy but the temperature back up in double figures, ten or 11 celsius by the end of the afternoon. overnight tonight we run the risk of one or two showers, some clear spells out there but overall it will be rather cloudy. temperatures staying above zero, looking at a minimum in towns and cities of 4— six celsius. some mist and fog developing as well, quite murky start tomorrow, some low cloud around at least at first, some brighter spells again, maybe one or two showers, and then a lot of cloud around,

but we will see some rain throughout the week. and i will be back with another update before eight o'clock, 20 more online but for now i will hand you back to dan and louise. hello this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. britain's most decorated olympian sir bradley wiggins and team sky are accused of crossing an ethical line in their use of drugs. a report by mps says they were used to enhance the performance of riders — but wiggins has strongly denied the claims. good morning it's monday 5th of march. also this morning...

gary oldman finally has an oscar. put the kettle on... i'm bringing oscar home. gary oldman has a message for his mum after winning the oscar for best actor for his portrayal of winston churchill. but the biggest cheer of the night was for the best actress winner frances mcdormand when she paid tribute to all the women nominees. if i may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me in the room tonight. and we've got a ticket for the vanity fair after show party — we'll be live from there talking to the stars as they arrive. millions of people are told to limit their water use as thawing temperatures cause burst pipes. the number of people starting apprenticeships has fallen dramatically. falling by one third last year. i'm

ata falling by one third last year. i'm at a factory in birmingham to meet some of the apprentice is here and find out what's going on. in sport, a pre—match pep talk from david beckham helps inspire the england lionesses in new york — they twice come from a goal down to draw with germany in the shebelieves cup. andy carroll has the weather. good morning. the weather remains u nsettled morning. the weather remains unsettled but not as extreme as last week. some patchy mist and fog to lift, and then some snow mostly in the hills in the north but some rain coming across the south and that is also heading north through the course of the day. more details in about 15 minutes. and just to confirm, its the month of march, just after 8am. britain's top olympian sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of crossing an ethical line ina accused of crossing an ethical line in a report by mps who say they used

medication to enhance performance. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. adam wilde has this report. they are some of the biggest names in british sport but this long—awaited report represents perhaps the gravest blow yet to their reputations. most significantly that of sir bradley wiggins, the nation's most decorated olympian. one of the things the report's authors point to is the use of certain drugs by wiggins and his former team, team sky, the purpose of which they say was not always to treat medical need but to improve performance. that is something both team sky and wiggins strongly refute. and whilst they didn't break anti—doping rules, they did, the report says, cross the ethical line. and the head of the team, sir david brailsford, must take responsibility. we believe now we need those same sort of criminal powers so anti—doping agencies can call on the police and other law enforcement agencies to gather evidence quickly where they believe there's good grounds

to believe there's been an anti—doping violation. but this report goes much further than just cycling. they say the evidence of lord coe, the head of athletics‘ governing body, to mps on the committee in 2015, was misleading when he sought to distance himself from any knowledge of allegations of doping in russian athletics. the report also speaks of shock at an injection of a drug called l—carnitine given to sir mo farah before the 2014 london marathon. whilst it isn't a banned substance, there are strict rules around its use, yet that dose didn't appear on farah's medical records. it's cycling, though, a sport which has already suffered a series of blows to its reputation, for which today's report will be most damaging. adam wild, bbc news. former middle distance runner and commentator steve cram says there should be a duty of clare towards athletes to make sure they are

operating in legal limits. —— duty of care. we have to protect the health of athletes who want to compete at the highest level. but we have to be careful we do not step over the line in terms of misuse. i welcome any scenario where we make sure we get the guidelines right on that. i don't think anyone has done anything, breaking any rules around doping, i'm pretty sure of that. some of the headlines coming out are probably not accurate. but yes, shining a spotlight on it is important to make sure we don't make m ista kes important to make sure we don't make mistakes going forward. we can get more from our sports reporter david ornstein at the manchester velodrome. let's talk about the significance of this and the impact on reputations as well. we are looking at the reaction here from tea m looking at the reaction here from team sky today, and british cycling. this is the home of british cycling and formerly the home of team sky. julie harrington, the team executive of tea m julie harrington, the team executive of team sky, only appointed last may when the changes implement it as a

result of this enquiry were already underway. she said the enquiry had a catalytic effect on the organisation, and they have made significant changes across the organisation. these reforms aim to ensure the failure is recognised in the committee's enquiry will never happen again. interestingly, she says the committee's investigation focused on a time when the relation between british cycling and team sky operated with blurred boundaries between the two organisations. she says that will never happen again and they now have clear lines. meanwhile, team sky have said they ta ke full meanwhile, team sky have said they take full responsibility for the m ista kes take full responsibility for the mistakes that were made but strongly refute the allegations around the use of performance enhancing drugs that were made by the enquiry. strongly refuting those allegations. they insist they are committed to performance in a clean way. gary oldman has told his 98—year—old mother to put the kettle on because

he will bring the oscar home, after being crowned best actorfor he will bring the oscar home, after being crowned best actor for his portrayal of winston churchill in darkest hour. frances mcdormand was named best actress and the best film prize went to the shape of water. we have james cook with more from los angeles. after a year of darkness, a splash of colour returned to hollywood. the black threads of protest were gone, although the determination to call "time's up" on abuse and to create a more inclusive industry remained. if i may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me in this room tonight... best actress winner frances mcdormand had a message for the moguls. look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. and the winner is, gary oldman, darkest hour. for his transformation into winston churchill, the british actor saw v for victory and he thanked his 98—year—old mother. i say to my mother, "thank you for your love and support. put the kettle on, i'm

bringing oscar home." congratulations! there were four more british wins, including one for the silent child, a short film about a deaf little girl from wiltshire. i made a promise to our 6—year—old lead actress that i'd sign this speech, and my hands are shaking a little bit so i apologise. last year, this famous duo announced the wrong winner. no such problem this time. the shape of water. the greatest thing our art does and our industry does is to erase the lines in the sand. we should continue doing that when the world tells us to make them deeper. so inclusion was the theme, change really is coming to hollywood was the message. james cook, bbc news, los angeles. this is the rather vacant scene at

the vanity fair after show party. rebecca jones has grabbed all sorts of people so far, including roger deakins and daniel kaluuya. and there is gary oldman. rebecca jones is there so hopefully gary will wander over. we spoke to him after the golden globes. i think rebecca can speak to him and we can hear from gary oldman. i have the oscar—winning gary oldman with me. many congratulations, best actor. thank you! you thanks to your mum in your speech, 98 years old. have you had a chance to speak to her yet.” haven't, she is probably in bed by now, but i will see her in the morning. she brought me up, you know, i mean, i don't know what mum doesn't want an oscar for her son

who is an actor, but i think she has wanted this for me for a long time. winston churchill was famous for his inspirational speeches. i wonder if you felt any pressure to live up to them tonight. there is a bit of pressure. there is a weird chemical thing that happens when your name is called. and it's... i can't really define it, but it's unlike anything else. and then of course you have got meryl streep ten feet away staring up at you, next to denzel washington. it's surreal. it really is. i can't believe it says, academy award to gary oldman on it. i am still a bit sort of... you know... and he has had a real influence on your life, because you have a grandson named after winston churchill. is that right? my son

alfie worked on the film. he is a camera alfie worked on the film. he is a camera assistant. he was here with his mum, leslie, tonight. i don't know if they are here just now or not, but he worked on the movie. when he heard he was having a son. it's aussie, and his middle name is winston, yes. and you proposed to your wife, standing beside you. while you were in costume, is that right? yes, i was on the set. we had talked about it, and ijust got the urge. i dragged her off to the map room, as you do when you are running a war, and said, will you marry me. and she said yes. i didn't do it in winston's voice, but i said, will you marry me. she said yes. and they said, gary, we need you on set. and i left her with it. i have my boy charlie here. and gulliver here.

it's lovely that leslie and alfie came out as well. it's been a real family bash. gary oldman, thank you for speaking to us live on bbc brea kfast. for speaking to us live on bbc breakfast. gary oldman, the winner of best actor oscar. i'm sure that sounds good stop what i love his son with his hand on his dad's back. we should mention the special effects make—up artist, winning in the hair and make—up category for darkest hour, lucy civic. forthe and make—up category for darkest hour, lucy civic. for the camera to turn on their is gary oldman, that's fantastic. the army has been sent to help isolated communities in cumbria that have been cut from supplies for five days because of the bad weather conditions.

up with london, the pipes are warming up again and then bursting and leaking. i caught up with some of the people affected overnight.” haven't had a shower today, unfortunately. there is no water, no shower. can't brush your teeth. this morning there were still no water. and i work in the pub downstairs and they shut early. you work in a restau ra nt, they shut early. you work in a restaurant, so what's it like to come in to find no water? it's critical, without water, you cannot do business. there is no trade. you can't wash up, can't prepare food and you can't operate.” can't wash up, can't prepare food and you can't operate. i was down at the corner but unfortunately there is no water from last night. the sink is working but i don't know when they will fix all the problems. it's all about encouraging customers to be careful with what they use, that means no showers, filling the

that parts of scotland, especially the hills and coast, and the midlands but most of it will tend to lift. beautiful weather watcher pictures sent in from worcestershire this morning. the forecast today is we have showers being replaced by rain coming in from the south through the day but we still have some snow over the scottish hills. at lower levels it is sleet and rain we are looking out. we will have rain coming into the south courtesy of this area of high pressure. —— low—pressure, which will be with us in some form for most of this week. in scotland we still have some smoke, above 200 metres or so that we will see it. at lower levels it is more likely to be rain and sleet. further west, drier and brighter with a few showers. in northern england we have had some early snow in the north—east but that is moving

away and leave a lot of cloud in its wake. we have sunny skies across parts of the midlands, we can see the rain coming up and does it also ahead of it cloud will continue to build. some of this rain will be heavy, particularly so, a hampshire, dorset and parts of somerset as well. in england and wales, temperatures roughly today where they should be at this time in march but in the north still cold. in aberdeen only four, and a keen easterly wind in the far north of scotla nd easterly wind in the far north of scotland so you will still have a significant wind—chill so it will feel colder than these temperatures are suggesting. overnight the rain continues to advance northwards, as it engages with the cold air it will gladly turn to snow, again mostly on the hills. we continue with hill snow across scotland. out towards the west, more likely to be rain that we have. quite a lot of cloud, patchy mist and fog forming and

still the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. as ever these temperatures tell you what you can expect in towns and cities, in rural areas it will be lower. tomorrow we have our weather front moving steadily northwards, again mostly at lower levels it's going to be rain, maybe some sleet with snow in the hills. a lot of drier weather around tomorrow but it will be cloudy with showers peppering parts of scotland and northern ireland south—east england and the channel islands. as we head on into wednesday, here is the centre of our low—pressure. everything still moving around it in an anticlockwise direction so the cold air is still embedded across scotla nd cold air is still embedded across scotland and we have snow showers across the north and west. elsewhere in dry weather, cloudy, the odd bright spell but wintry showers across northern ireland. in the south we are likely to see showers as well, we could well have some

hailand as well, we could well have some hail and thunder and lightning in them. temperatures in aberdeen perking up a bit, six or seven, with a high of nine or ten in southern england. thank you very much indeed. always nice to see more of carroll in our lives! it is a 20 am, you are watching breakfast news. our main stories this morning... britain's most decorated olympian sir bradley wiggins and team sky are accused of crossing an ethical line in their use of drugs. gary oldman has been named best actorfor his gary oldman has been named best actor for his portrayal of winston churchill in darkest hour in the oscars. they're both used to pushing

themselves to the absolute limit, but now olympic cyclist victoria pendleton and adventurer ben fogle arejoining forces to climb everest. not satisfied with taking on one of the greatest physical challenges, they're also aiming to complete an ethical climb, to show it's possible to leave no waste in their wake. good morning, both! iwill come to everest in a moment but briefly, victoria, have you got anything to say about these allegations today about cycling? they are definitely shocking allegations and i personally don't want to believe it is true. until there is an admission of somebody doing something wrong, i don't want to believe it. they are just allegations. shall we leave it there. we talk about the most amazing mountain scene behind us, why would you want to climb everest?

i've always drained of it ever since i was i've always drained of it ever since iwasa i've always drained of it ever since i was a little boy, i remember looking at photographs thinking what would it be like to take a challenge on like this. victoria and i met a couple of years ago and decided that we wanted to maybe take on a together. hello victoria, are you all right? do you want to climb everest! i knew she would be a good team— mate to everest! i knew she would be a good team—mate to go with. i wanted to do it, i wanted to inspire my kids. i am the united nations paging for wilderness, and we are also doing it for the british red cross. training wise, it's a brutal experience. i'm sure you know how many people have died attempting everest over the yea rs. died attempting everest over the years. what sort of training have you put yourselves through for this? we spent some time in bolivia climbing some of the most iconic mountains there and we have been in

the himalayas during january. this is your head cam. yes, this is some footage of me crossing a ladder bridge. we are preparing ourselves as best as possible in terms of fitness and technical understanding, and we are small team so we know we can look out for each other and nobody will hold us back. we are all very capable. we willjust make sure we ta ke very capable. we willjust make sure we take every box and make sure we are as ready as we can be. she usually capable but you have a of heights! it is terrifying. going across those ladder bridges, that's how you get across crevasse is, these big gaps that open up with hundreds of metres of drop. i am scared of heights but it's about confronting your fears. i've always lived my life to find not shy away from the challenges and for me,

everest is the pinnacle. i've got young kids now so i have a responsibility to them but i also wa nt responsibility to them but i also want to inspire them and show people if you show full respect to a mountain like everest, and i argue they are attempting to get to the summit, we are both fully aware of the risks there and we are going to put self—preservation ahead of pride. we can see the beast. ben mentioned his family, what do your families think of it? victoria, is it possible to stop you? the horse racing thing, they thought i was a bit crazy, but having something to work and train for is what makes me tick and this is an incredible adventure, an incredible experience, once—in—a—lifetime and i feel honoured to be given this opportunity and also to be involved with helping support a charity like

the red cross. if you are supreme athlete, the supreme competitor so tell me about what's going on. when you are watching across a bridge like that, what are you thinking?” ink, i put one foot in front of the other, i can do that on the ground normally so why worry about it now? it's the same approach to everything. it is still the same method of one foot in front of the other. i am with ben! i would be thinking, i'm going to fall! that is what's beautiful about our dynamic, victoria with her sporting prowess. lama bit victoria with her sporting prowess. i am a bit more hands—off. to have her there focusing, and i pick up a little bit of that drive and determination that victoria house because you need something like that with everest. a lot of it is the battle of the mind. i with everest. a lot of it is the battle of the mind. lam with everest. a lot of it is the battle of the mind. i am 44 now and i think the last 20 years of

adventures and challenges i have done have all been leading to this point. for me, everest will be the biggest thing i've ever done and i think a lot of it is in the head. lot of people think it's about the physicality, and of course it's about understanding mountaineering, but a lot of it is here. in terms of the ethical side and trying to keep waist down, how do you do that? it's not nice to talk about this time of day but there is the human excrement side. you can take it home with you, everything freezes and in antarctica you take everything including your —— urine. a lot of mountaineers adhere to mountain etiquette and being respectful to the shirkers, make sure they are paid properly, minimal impact. victoria, if you

were worried about anything, and you are very good about all of this, what would be highest on your list? i don't really have any concerns, it's just about knowing we are solid team. i'm going with very capable individuals. we have a very experienced mountain guide, and i have a great team around me. getting to the summit is only halfway, we have got to get back! when are you going? will even about four weeks' time. we will be at base camp for long time. we will chat to you from base camp. have you got an invite yet for the royal wedding? i'm going to be on everest with victoria! enjoyed it. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
