gary oldman topped the british successes at the oscars — by winning best actor for his transformation into winston churchill in darkest hour. and frances mcdormand picked up the best actress award, turning her acceptance speech into a rallying cry for more support for women in the industry. james cook reports from hollywood. 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. a tweet from simon, oscars 2010, a

group of over egos that know so little of people's struggles while these self service pack each other on the back and talk about each other behind their back. it's not newsworthy. sorry about that. we can bring you more on the oscars now because colin paterson is live on the red carpet at the vanity fair party. what was the highlight, it has been a long night for you and the winners. good morning. the vanity fair party is reaching its end down here. you can see some people starting to come out and head home to what is the most a list taxi queuein home to what is the most a list taxi queue in the whole of hollywood. the big story of the night from a british point of view is gary oldman winning his first oscar at the age of 59. this man has played dracula,

sid vicious, lee harvey oswald. he has won his oscar for playing winston churchill. we grabbed a word with him as he arrived with his kids, grandkids, and his new wife, who he told us he proposed to the set of winston churchill, darkest hour, while dressed as winston churchill. even his new grandchild has winston as middle name. they have really ta ken has winston as middle name. they have really taken winston churchill on board. the whole family. he gave a lovely acceptance speech on stage, saying he would go and visit his 99—year—old mother, 99 later this year, and he said he would take the oscar, saying the oscar is coming home. amazing. you said it's the end of the party. anyone there you want to grabfor of the party. anyone there you want to grab for us while you are there on the striped black and white carpet, instead of the red carpet? guillermo del toro has not arrived, the mexican director who won best directorfor the shape the mexican director who won best director for the shape of water, which also won best picture. it's a

bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. and our sports correspondent will have more on this in a moment. thousands of people in wales and london and the south east have been without water or told to limit their use, because of burst pipes. it follows a rapid thaw after several days of sub—zero temperatures. it's led to the closure of a number of schools in kent, while in london, emergency supplies of bottled water are being distributed. simon clemison sent this update. he spoke to some hit by shortages in london. i haven't had a shower today, u nfortu nately. i haven't had a shower today, unfortunately. there is no water in the taps. no showers, you can't brush your teeth. and i worked in the pub downstairs and they had no water so they shut early. you work ina water so they shut early. you work in a restaurant, what's it like to come in and find no water? it's critical. without water you can't do any business. there is no trade. you

our correspondentjeremy bowen is with one of those aid convoys and sent this report. these are the long—awaited trucks, the convoy which is due to go into eastern ghouta. the first convoy since the 14th of february. frankly before that there were very few. it's not very far from here. before that there were very few. it's not very farfrom here. there has been steady outgoing fire from a heavy gun not too far away. this is the first slight easing of the siege. it's only temporary, though. and i think the people in eastern ghouta who get the supplies which the trucks are carrying will be very pleased to have them. the wider issue here is the syrians, with their russian allies, are pressing very ha rd onto their russian allies, are pressing very hard onto eastern ghouta, and if they win here, and indications are that they will, then it will be

are that they will, then it will be a major victory for president assad and his the prime minister will tell up and do their bit". she'll warn that sitting on land as its value rises is not acceptable at a time of chronic housing need. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9.30. do get in touch with us

throughout the morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. we can get some sports now. the 52 page report, combating doping in sport. the best part of two years in the making. it's full of claims, findings and recommendations from the group of mps. findings and recommendations from the group of mp5. the content, we have been aware of some of it because we have been across those committee meetings where they have quizzed dave brailsford from british cycling and team sky. the crux of it is the use of tues, therapeutic use exemption certificates, in order to use drugs that would normally be banned under the wada code, but it is an athlete or cyclist is not well, you get one of the tempo mac and you can use it. we were aware of much of the content of the report,

but what is quite new is mps say they have a trusted source with confidential information from within british cycling who claims the use of tues pushed an ethical boundary and that the use of certain steroids, which bradley wiggins used tues, was widely used beyond the recommendation of using any tues. that is what is so damning to the reputation of british cycling. they have refuted all these accusations. bradley wiggins says, i find it so sad that accusations can be made where people can be accused of things they have never done, which are then regarded as fact. i strongly refute the claim that any drug was used without medical need. there has been a team sky response as well. they strongly refute the serious claim that medication is being used by the team to enhance performance. they say they are

surprised and disappointed that the committee has chosen to present an anonymous and potentially malicious claim in this way without presenting any evidence or giving us an opportunity to respond. they say it's unfair both to the team and to the riders in question. just to simplify things regarding this tue, an interview bradley wiggins gave to andrew marr on the bbc about 18 months ago, where he said he used them because he was unwell, suffering from asthma and pollen allergies, and he used them to get back to a level playing field. if an athlete is 75, 80%, you use a tue, and these normally banned drugs, to get back to 100%, to get back to a level laying field, in the words of sir bradley wiggins. what this report is asserting and alleging is that the use of tues was used for 100% athletes to get them above and

beyond, effectively saying that they we re beyond, effectively saying that they were performance enhancing. and it's not just cycling were performance enhancing. and it's notjust cycling and bradley wiggins in the spotlight. who else is highlighted in the report? in athletics, sebastian coe gave evidence about what exactly he knew in his role as vice—chairman of the iaaf, of which he is now president. he said he wasn't aware of some very serious allegations of russian doping. we although what has come to pass since then because these go back to 2014, 2013. any e—mail he received from dave bedford. he said he did not open an attachment that had some serious allegations. the mps have found his evidence to them and to parliament was misleading. the iaaf have responded of lord coe today to say they have written to the committee to explain the complexity of some of the anti—doping codes, so they will back

their man. what has come out of this isa their man. what has come out of this is a recommendation that the general medical council pursue and investigate a couple of doctors. doctor richard friedman, involved in the whole british cycling setup. he did not give that much evidence because he is not well, but they suggest they should pursue him to find out exactly what he knew about giving those drugs to british cyclists. and another doctor who is now at the football association, pa rt now at the football association, part of the england setup. he used to be at uk athletics, and he gave a supplement injection to mo farah before the london marathon in 2014. he did not keep any record of that whatsoever and they are also recommending that they look into that incident when mo was given a supplement by what is now the head of the football association's medical setup. thank you, more on that story at

about 9:45am. it's estimated that about 1% of the british population are transgender or gender non—confirming, yet rows about rights for trans people is one of the defining issues society is trying to grapple with right now. some women, often radicalfeminists who are sometimes called terfs — trans exclusionary radical feminists — believe that trans women aren't real women, can pose a danger to other women and therefore shouldn't be allowed into safe women only spaces like changing rooms or domestic violence refuges. but trans women say you don't need to be born with a vagina to be a woman. often the debate is polarised, aggressive and offensive. we've tried to explore the issues in a sensitive and nuanced way. rebecca root, a transgender actor, who stars in the bbc comedy boy meets girl reports for us. you say you want a debate,

but you are called trans—phobic for wanting that debate. all we're hearing about is all of people's imagined fears if we make it easier for you and i to change our birth certificates. it's playing to this idea that if you don't believe that a trans woman is a woman, for example, and a trans man is a man, you're going against the law. i find it incredible that a small group of women think that they can tell other women who should and shouldn't represent them. i'm rebecca root, i'm an actor and a voice teacher. and i am also transgender. since i transitioned in 2003, i've seen a big change in the way that british society now views and accepts the trans community. mostly for the better. but there's an increasing number of complex issues that are still needing to find answers, so how does society and politicians catch up? how do they find the solutions so that everybody‘s happy? 41% of trans people in britain say

they've experienced a hate crime in the last 12 months because of their gender identity. the government is currently consulting on transgender rights, which has sparked a debate about how best to shape social policy for the community, and push for greater equality. if you look at the way that institutions are built in countries, they're built around that dichotomy, the binary between men and women. this is how we've been able to develop women's health care, right, or how, when we think about prisons, we've created women's prisons and men's prisons, because of an assumption about the different needs and challenges that these two genders face, right? the difficulty then with gender identity discussions is there's

simply no way for governments to really understand them, because they don't fit within that traditional framework of dividing the general population. the uk government in particular simply doesn't see transgender people. and when i say doesn't see them, i don't mean that they don't know they exist — they certainly know they exist. some of the women raising concerns about these issues say although theyjust want an open discussion about them, they're being silenced. pilgrim tucker is one of them. you say you want a debate. there's no possible debate to be had but you are called trans—phobic for wanting that debate. what a lot of people are saying is that there are very significant differences between trans women and people who are born women, both biological and on the basis of their different anatomy, how they're treated in society

and their experience of the world. that means a lot of careful thought. let's slow down and talk about why women might feel cautious about having trans—women in their spaces, places where they will feel vulnerable. i remember that when i was transitioning, in an attempt to lose weight and get myself into shape ijoined lose weight and get myself into shape i joined a lose weight and get myself into shape ijoined a gym. i know that i feltjust as shape ijoined a gym. i know that i felt just as vulnerable in a female changing room so far as feeling the scrutiny of other women's eyes as i walked into my swimming costume. i always use a cubicle to get changed inside. and i would never use a

communal shower. i can see how passionate you are, and it seems you are afraid almost of trans people or trans—women. are afraid almost of trans people or trans-women. no, i want are afraid almost of trans people or trans-women. no, iwant to are afraid almost of trans people or trans-women. no, i want to clarify that because i'm not afraid of trans people. women have very well grounded, valid reasons to be cautious of men both from personal experience and the statistics. but i am not afraid of you, did you ever get the impression i was afraid of you? i don't think you did. luck i'm not ina you? i don't think you did. luck i'm not in a changing room. i don't think there's anything i've said to make you believe i am afraid of trans people. we spoke about the problems of male crimes towards women, ok? my explanation was that is why women are cautious of trans people. the way in which transgender people. the way in which transgender people are legally recognised as

something the government is consulting on. today, anyone who wa nts to consulting on. today, anyone who wants to legally change their gender in the uk has to apply for gender recognition certificate, many don't because they feel the process is long and meaning. to qualify, trans people don't need to have had surgery people don't need to have had surgery but must have lived for two yea rs surgery but must have lived for two years in their preferred gender. one way of doing this would be to let people self declare without the need for medical evidence. we have set out plans to reform the gender recognition act, streamlining and de medicalising the process for changing gender. because being trans—is not an illness and it shouldn't be treated as such. those that campaign for the transgender community, argue that self iding is the next step. the really

undignified public discourse about 93v undignified public discourse about gay marriage wasn't really about gay marriage, it was just an excuse to —— for people to vent ugly homophobia. anyone will be able to walk into a toilet and it will be the end of the world, and it's nonsense. all we are hearing about our people's imagined fears about how it will be the end of the world if we make it easier for you and how it will be the end of the world if we make it easierfor you and i to change our birth to —— birth certificates and it's misplaced discourse. but self identification is not something everyone agrees with. i am opposed to the government's new fascination with intervening in relation to grcs and self identification. in a society we can accept, if somebody came up to me on the street or i was working with them and they said i want you

to call me bill instead of billy, as a generous and understanding person i would say short and i think most people get on with that and there is not need to over legalise this issue i think. so why is there a debate? because nobody has, as far as i can tell, nobody has called for this. there has not been a mass transit activist movement to call for these law changes. i think the suicide statistics are fairly in our favour if you like, that there is a great deal of unhappiness and depression surrounding not being able to access health care, which having a grc would permit. it's playing into this idea that if you don't believe trans—woman idea that if you don't believe tra ns—woman is a idea that if you don't believe trans—woman is a woman idea that if you don't believe trans—woman is a woman for example, then you are not only the wrong kind of person in society and bigoted but

you are also going against the law, you are also going against the law, you are also going against the law, you are going against what the law is and that should still be up for debate. most people who are charles lived with that all their lives so for them it is not an overnight thing. we are trying to see the wider point of view as to why the self identification is such a big problem. i don't see why it should be. the equality act 2010 protects trans people from discrimination and anyone who identifies themselves as anyone who identifies themselves as a woman, whether it's their legal gender or not, can use single sex facilities. it does however allow service providers to refuse a trans person is access to single sex services if they are seen as detrimental to others. but does the legislation need updating? you're saying we will have a new system in a prison to placate the personal wishes of a few trans people. i am

sounding harsh but that's kind of what it is. there might be some questions about the need to do that. it might not be necessary. where do you stand on things like trans—women having access to women's refuges for example or other single sex spaces? to be thrown into a situation with somebody who potentially ostensibly looks like a man or not all trans women look like... dress themselves as men, but for the grey area i think it is important believe that asa think it is important believe that as a gender segregated area. there needs should come first. relatively soon after my transition, i was beaten up by three male youths. where would i go i was seeking refuge? where would be a safe place for me? it's obviously horrible for you that that happened to you and i

wa nt to you that that happened to you and i want to be sympathetic but at the same timei want to be sympathetic but at the same time i think this is the issue. people's personal experience is one thing, the political question of whether or not we deem women only spaces, especially in relation to rape and violence, are important, should be kept as separate as possible because the problem is anecdote and personal feeling, though important, often trumps the political question in terms of policy, law. if i hadn't political question in terms of policy, law. ifi hadn't been trans—and i was an ordinary person, andl trans—and i was an ordinary person, and i had daughters, there's a man coming into women's toilets, i might have been like, i don't like the sound of that. i do think there are people with legitimate concerns who don't know what's happening or they

are confused. i think there is a very small but vocal dedicated group of people who have a visceral prejudice against trans people, who are exploiting people's ignorance and confusion. it is playing on people's visceral prejudices. actually there was no evidence that 95v actually there was no evidence that gay people would harm children by having gay teachers, there's no evidence that children adopted by same—sex couples are any more likely to be in danger. i think it is really responsible that people are whipping up this fear against us based on zero evidence. it's not a debate and i find it offensive it is framed as a debate. hatred against trans people is not a debate. the issue of trans people in politics is also making waves. a crowd fonda has been set up to stop trans—women

being selected for all women short lists as candidates. pilgrim took —— pilgrim tucker has put her name on the campaign. women in the labour party really genuinely feel they haven't been listened to and that is because of the proper usual processes , we because of the proper usual processes, we haven't gone through those. so i think whatever issue it was, if you are suddenly expected to expect something —— to accept something with no debate, no evidence, no rational discussion, feeling like you are being called a bigotjust for asking for that discussion, whatever legislation that was, whatever social issue that was, it would get people's backs up.

doctor heather peto was a trans—woman and selected on the short list. i find it incredible that one group of women could tell other groups of women who can and can't represent them. if the candidates want to select me they can and if they don't wa nt select me they can and if they don't want to they don't. i don't actually stop people from standing. the selection lists could be six or five, and it's up to the local selection committee how me people stand. it's for members to decide. i'm as valid a woman as any other woman. it'sjust i'm as valid a woman as any other woman. it's just that i'm as valid a woman as any other woman. it'sjust that i have had a different journey getting there. the doctor showed me the constituency she is keen to represent. although she is keen to represent. although she says people are largely supportive of her standing, not

eve ryo ne supportive of her standing, not everyone feels the same.|j supportive of her standing, not everyone feels the same. i have been bombarded with nasty social media posts and e—mails. it amounts to abuse, i can't categorise it as anything else. for standing in the women only short list and for being the labour pa rty's women only short list and for being the labour party's transgender officer. i knocked on one of these doors. i was out with a group of other labour ca nvassers and doors. i was out with a group of other labour canvassers and this guy took a dislike to me and chased me down his pathway. do you think that response of being chased like that was because of your physical leanings or was it more maybe because you are trams? —— political leanings. i think it was because i was trams. because i was trans. i think the person was just an angry person. it's clear from the conversations i have had and also from my own experience that although the trans community has come a long

way in fighting for equality and recognition, there is still a long way to go. if modern britain is to find the answers and shape policy around them, then understanding and respect is key. much more reaction to come after 10:00am — and of course we're really keen to hear from you. michelle on facebook, as a survivor of domestic violence, i am shocked trans—women care more about their rights and the fears of women who have been beaten and traumatised by men. survivors of domestic violence often have ptsd for years and someone who pushes the unwanted presents onto a survivorjust to prove a point needs to look closely at their intentions. emmett says women's refuges should be exempt from accepting trans—women. i was in a refuge for seven months last year and needed a woman only space to feel safe. steve says, they are scared of trans—women. if a man goes through the transition to be a woman and once they achieve this life changing journey, they should have

the support of society and be allowed to live as a woman. they are women and should be treated as such. do keep your comments coming in. coming up before 11am... the mother who's had two children involved in two separate us school shootings. we are live at the vanity fair post—oscars party. in there, the likes of emma watson, drake and gary oldman. i hope they are all dancing together. time for the latest news — here's ben brown. gary oldman was the big british success at the 2018 oscars, collecting the best actor award for his transformation into winston churchill for darkest hour. the other big win on the night was frances mcdormand, who picked up the best actress award and paid tribute

to the other women nominees. the cyclist sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of "crossing an ethical line" in their use of medication, in a report by mps. a report by the digital, culture, media and sport committee says the prescriptions were used to enhance performance rather than just for medical need. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly rejected the claims. thousands of people in wales and london and the south east have been without water or told to limit their use, because of burst pipes. it follows a rapid thaw after several days of sub—zero temperatures. it's led to school closures and emergency water distribution. a military helicopter will deliver emergency supplies this morning to villages in cumbria, which have been cut off for five days by heavy snow. severe weather wreaked havoc across the county and some areas will remain isolated for another 48 hours, because it's taking so long to clear roads. theresa may is to introduce measures to refuse future planning permissions to construction

firms which have been slow to build new homes. the prime minister will say that sitting on land as its value rises is not acceptable at a time of chronic housing need. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. i will be back at 10am. another message from emma. women escaping domestic violence need a safe space. my domestic violence need a safe space. my son, aged 18, wasn't allowed in the refuge with me and had to live with my parents. i understood why. lots of refuges don't allow males over16 lots of refuges don't allow males over 16 to live there with their mothers. refuges need to remain gender separate. sport now with olly. the headlines this morning, the england women came from behind twice to draw with germany at the shebelieves cup. a friendly tournament in the us. ellen white

scored twice in the 2—2 draw. the england lionesses play the usa next. manchester city are 18 points clear at the top of the premier league after beating chelsea 1—0. bernardo silva got the goal. elsewhere arsenal lost 2—1 to brighton. rangers are into the scottish cup semifinal after beating falkirk 4—1. jason cummings scored a hat—trick. motherwell also into the last four. kyle edmund is the new british number one. andy murray had been top for almost 12 years but following hip surgery he has been out of action and is now 29th in the world. edmund reached the australian open semifinals and is now up to 24th. a fantasy film about a woman who falls in love with a fish has won the best picture award at the oscars. gary oldman was named best actor, for his portrayal of sir winston churchill in darkest hour and frances mcdormand, the star of three billboards outside ebbing, missouri, won best actress. frances mcdormand, three billboards outside ebbing, missouri. if i may be so honoured to have

all the female nominees stand in every category stand with me inside this room tonight. the actors, meryl, if you do it, everyone else will, come on. the film—makers, the producers, directors, the writers. the cinematographer. the composers, the song writers. ok, look around, everybody. look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. oscar is the most beloved and respected man in hollywood. and there's a very good reason why. just look at him. keeps his hands where you can see them. never says a rude word. i did it all by myself! laughter. of different voices, of our voices. joining together in a mighty chorus that is finally saying, time's up. and the oscar goes to...

jordan peele, get out. this means so much to me. i stopped writing this movie about 20 times because i thought it was impossible. i thought it wasn't going to work. i thought no one would ever make this movie. but i kept coming back to it because i knew if someone let me make this movie then people would hear it and people would see it. and the oscar goes to... the shape of water. cheering. oh god, hello. i made a promise to our six—year—old lead actress that i'd sign this speech. my hands are shaking

a little bit so i apologise. roger a deakins, blade runner 2049. i say to my mother, thank you for your love and support. put the kettle on, i'm bringing oscar home. let's go live to the black and white carpet of the vanity fair party. colin paterson, what was the best bit of the whole night?|j colin paterson, what was the best bit of the whole night? i will come to that. the things i do for you. that's the most a—list party in the world, and every journalist that's the most a—list party in the world, and everyjournalist has gone into it. i'm the only one left here, and that's for you. i could be in their! i could be dancing with drake and you have denied me! they

wouldn't let you near him. what was the best bit of the night? the three best bits, gary oldman's speech. it was absolutely charming. at the end he said he was so delighted to have won this because this year his mother turns 99. he said he would go and visit her tomorrow and take his oscar home. i believe we can hear from gary oldman at this party. she is probably in bed by now, but i will be seeing her in the morning. she has been... she brought me up and has... 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 he felt any pressure to live up to them tonight. there is a bit of

pressure. there is a wheeled chemical thing that happens when your name is called. i can't really define it, but it's unlike anything else. and then you've got meryl streep ten feet away staring up at you, next to denzel washington. it's surreal. it really is. i can't believe that it says, academy awards to gary oldman on it. i'm still a bit sort of... you know... and he's had a real influence on your life, because you now have a grandson who has been named after winston churchill. is that right? my son 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 or not. he had worked on the movie. when he heard

he was having a son. so his middle name is winston. amazing for gary oldman and his mum. we can talk about all the winners. rhianna dhillon, film critic and former r1 presenter emma bullimore, entertainment reporter amancay tapia who's directed award winning short films like "rescue me" and "campo de bata lla ". that's go the big three, best picture, best actor and actress. did the right ones win? i think so. there were not huge shocks. shape water stole it from three build or was maybe a bit of a surprise. gary oldman and frances mcdormand were not surprises. frances mcdormand has made great speeches along the way and this was another big one. gary oldman is one of those awards, it's a legacy award. it might not be the

best role ever for him but he has done so many incredible films in his career. the fact this is his very first oscar is shocking. what did you think is a director?” first oscar is shocking. what did you think is a director? i think the oscars are always a bit predictable and this year for the first time we had a group of films that were unpredictable going for best picture. is that because they were so good or because it is changing? they were a bit edgy. we had films with an independent edge to them. films like get out and lady bird. in the end they went for a safe film, the shape of water. it was the one film out of all the films that didn't really make a statement. it was a fantastic film. it didn't have that many hollywood elements because here we have a beauty and the beast love story where the beauty is not

such a beauty and the beast is not such a beauty and the beast is not such a beauty and the beast is not such a beast. but it's very human. were you surprised the me too movement didn't get more of a mention? the fact is jimmy said it in his opening monologue, it was a good chance to set everybody else up, to say that we could talk about it and we could have that dialogue and we are not bored of it yet. i was a little bit surprised that more speeches did not include it. but having said that, there were not many women on the platform to receive awards. they were giving them. which is potentially wide frances mcdormand appealed for all the female nominees to stand up. frances mcdormand appealed for all the female nominees to stand uplj was impressed with jimmy the female nominees to stand uplj was impressed withjimmy because he tackled it head on. he mentioned kevin spacey and harvey weinstein by name. he made jokes kevin spacey and harvey weinstein by name. he madejokes but kevin spacey and harvey weinstein by name. he made jokes but also said, it's not good enough. but it's also a celebration and a positive night. frances mcdormand said it was difficult for women to get particular projects financed. he said all the women have ideas, make

proper appointments, said all the women have ideas, make properappointments, don't said all the women have ideas, make proper appointments, don't talk to us at the parties tonight. do you think it's harderfor us at the parties tonight. do you think it's harder for women to get projects financed ? i think the issue is about the people financing the films who cannot make it to the oscars. they are majority male and caucasian, and probably in their 60s so they relate to masculine stories. masculine stories are seen as universal, female stories are seen as niche.” wa nt to female stories are seen as niche.” want to ask you about rachel shenton and chris overton, hollyoaks actors who won best live action short film for the silent child, and rachel did her acceptance speech in sign language. there's the disabilities

that are getting left behind, and we need to be more inclusive across the board. that was a sweet and lovely way, instead of making a political it was like this is my way of being inclusive and this is how we can step it up a little bit. finally, i wa nt to step it up a little bit. finally, i want to talk about one particular outfit, step forward olympic figure spectre adam rippon and his bondage outfit —— figure skater.” spectre adam rippon and his bondage outfit -- figure skater. i was more impressed with the west side story star who wore the same dress that she wore to the oscars in 1962, amazing. i cannot even fit into a dress i was last week! incredible. thank you. coming up...

theresa may will tell developers to "step up and do their bit" as she introduces new measures to punish firms who build houses too slowly. we'll bring you the prime minister's speech after half past ten. britain's most decorated olympian sir bradley wiggins used drugs to enhance his performance. that's what mps on the culture, media and sport select committee have found. they say though he didn't break the rules in doing so, but he crossed an ethical line. and they've accused the head of international athletics, lord coe, of being "misleading" and questioned the use of a substance by britain's greatest—ever distance runner, sirmo farah. sir bradley wiggins and team sky say they "strongly refute" the claims. in a tweet late last night, he said he finds it "so sad that accusations can be made, where people can be accused of things they have never done which are then regarded as facts. i strongly refute the claim that any drug was used without medical need." well, this is bradley wiggins when he was asked

about the claims by andrew marr in september 2016. it was prescribed for allergies and respiratory problems. i am a lifelong sufferer of asthma and i went to 19 doctor at the time, and went to 19 doctor at the time, and we in turn went to a specialist to see if there was anything else we could do to cure these problems. this wasn't trying to find a way of gaining an unfair advantage, it was about getting back on a level playing field to compete at a high level. the mps' report calls on the team sky founder and principal sir dave brailsford to take responsibility. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss asking him about the contents of a ‘mystery package' received by sir bradley in 2011. have you been able to provide any paperwork about the package? we

provided all of the evidence... have you been able to provide evidence to prove what it was? we have given them everything we have got. i have said everything i want to say and i will leave it there, but i have given the paperwork to the right people. i cannot talk on behalf of british cycling, they will provide what they have got. if the fans knew you had the paperwork, that would reassure them. let's talk now to tony doyle, a former olympic cyclist, british world champion and briefly president of british cycling, diane modahl who was wrongly accused of taking testosterone and banned from competing, and labour mp ian lucas who's one of the mps behind the report. essentially an anonymous allegation is your evidence? there are number of people from within cycling who

made allegations to the committee who are very concerned about what was happening and wanted to present evidence to us. there were multiple obligations made and we relied on that evidence. so what is the evidence apart from the allegations? they'd missed by individuals about the use of performance enhancing drugs within cycling which was presented to the committee. some of the evidence was presented anonymously by whistle—blowers who did not want to disclose their names but other people did give their names and they presented the information. i have to say a lot of this could have been cleared up if tea m this could have been cleared up if team sky had acted professionally in presenting medical evidence and retaining medical evidence which they should have had and which they have never supplied. so all of these issues were within the control of tea m issues were within the control of team sky, but despite repeated opportunities, they have never presented the evidence and the cloud

that exists over the sport rest squarely within team sky and british cycling. so bradley wiggins says he finds it sad people can be accused of things they have never done. we strongly refute this, we are surprised and disappointed the committee has chosen to present an anonymous and potentially malicious claims without any evidence, says sir dave brailsford. there are multiple sources. it's an intensely sad day. how do you know they are not malicious? dave brailsford gave evidence to the committee himself and could not satisfy us. it was his responsibility as the manager in charge to have details of the medical adults that were being used

by his riders within the team. at no time has he been able to present that evidence. if he had done so, all of these issues could have been dealt with. do you think you should now consider his position? it's been a gross failure of management on his part. those of us who love sport and wa nt to part. those of us who love sport and want to have sport that is honest and straightforward know that today isa and straightforward know that today is a very sad day. we take no pleasure in presenting this report but we owe it to the people who presented us with evidence to give an honest assessment and if britain wa nts to an honest assessment and if britain wants to hold up its head in the world on doping, we need to look at these cases rigorously and present an honest opinion which is what our committee has done. tony doyle, do you think sir dave brailsford should consider his position? most definitely. there's no question that ethically rules have been broken, the line hasn'tjust beenjumped,

cleared marginally, it has been jumped with a huge margin and they have ta ken advantage jumped with a huge margin and they have taken advantage of the rules to enhance performance. it is a sport which i love, which i've had a fantastic career, i am still involved and it is a sad day our sport is being dragged through the mire for the wrong reasons. although the committee acknowledged rules have not been broken. the world governing body and wada have got to look at the rules more closely so that the steroids can only be used to treat illnesses. you can use asthma as a masking agent to use the tue fall of the reasons. would you ban tues? the fact team sky have not

ke pt ban tues? the fact team sky have not kept records... i mean how do you react to the fact there are no records? apparently bradley wiggins' information was on a laptop that got stolen. that is very convenient, and very convenient records were not ke pt very convenient records were not kept and we are told team sky and british cycling are not sharing staff or personnel but they are still sharing the same building. they are both working out of the national cycling centre so there's a direct conflict of interest.” national cycling centre so there's a direct conflict of interest. i want to ask about mo farah, mps found he was given a drug before the 2014 london marathon. what you think about the doctor did

according to the mp report? bradley wiggins is correct about one thing, neither him nor mo farah had tested positive for drugs in sport and the report go so much further than what we are hearing about today. it goes to the court of the governance of the iaaf, the way the organisation is directed and controlled. we know the record—keeping has been very poon the record—keeping has been very poor. we know that the ethics and the moral credibility of the organisation has been in question for a long time, and what the parliamentary report does today is confirm everything that most of us are aware of and have been saying for a long time, that the code of conduct, the duty of care that the

iaaf have to all innocent athletes is not up to standard and that cannot continue because what it will mean is that innocent athletes will actually find themselves in a really difficult and uncomfortable situation because the governance, the people who are there to protect us are not doing theirjob in the way they should be doing it. this issue of poor record—keeping, which you say makes it harder for clean athletes to clear their names effectively, how do you react to the fa ct effectively, how do you react to the fact the international governing bodyis fact the international governing body is not making sure that really basic record—keeping is done?m body is not making sure that really basic record-keeping is done? it is shocking, it goes to the heart of the trust, the carer and independents that athletes need to have, and need to be reassured that every time they go on a bike or step on the start line that they are protected. it talks about the behaviour so the individuals who are

sitting around the table and governing the sport, is there enough scrutiny, is there enough challenge coming from those people who have not the passion, because we are all passionate about sport, we love sport, but passion is not going to fix this problem. it is going to be a strategic, credible, well governed organisation with the right skills and the right knowledge and expertise at around that table, and clearly that is not there at the moment. therefore are you saying lord coe should consider his position? i think he wants to fix this problem and he should absolutely be looking at his team. he should be looking around his table and saying, are these the right people in terms of the behaviours, the trust, the independentjudgment, the behaviours, the trust, the independent judgment, the openness, the objectivity, the selflessness that it requires to get it right at

governance level. what the report confirms is that there are far too many cracks within the governance system for us to be reliably reassured that lord coe has got that right at the moment. thank you, diane modahl. and you heard from ian lucas, and tony doyle, thank you very much. former president of british cycling. team sky and so bradley wiggins and say they strongly refute the claims. now the weather with carol. it will remain u nsettled, weather with carol. it will remain unsettled, but is extreme weather as we had last week. some fabulous pictures to show you, the first one shows quite an icy scene and the next one is a very similar story in that there is a fair bit of cloud around in newquay in cornwall. today the cloud will thicken where we currently have sunshine, and more rain will spread in. meanwhile we

have snow across the scottish hills, above about 200 metres. what's happening is low pressure is still governing our weather and it be with us for much of the week, although not much in the way of wind. in scotla nd not much in the way of wind. in scotland there will still be a noticeable wind—chill. if we start in scotland, we have the snow largely in the hills, at lower levels it's more likely to be sleet or rain, then the showers in the south—west and wales replaced by rain slowly moving northwards. after a sunny start the cloud will build and temperatures milder in the south, but in the north still cold. don't forget in north—east scotland we have the wind—chill to add—on as well. overnight weather front producing this rain migrates northwards, engages with the cold air, and indeed once again we will see no. we expect it to be mainly in

the hills above 100m, and once again the hills above 100m, and once again the risk of ice and we could see frost. as well as that, the chance of seeing patchy mist and fog forming. a cold night in prospect, these are the temperatures you can expect in towns and cities. in rural areas it will be lower than this. tomorrow our weather front continues drifting northwards, mostly at low levels we are looking at rain. on higher ground it is more likely to be snow and as we move further south quite a lot of cloud and a grey day tomorrow with showers across northern ireland and the south—west of england and the channel islands. still only three degrees in aberdeen and balmy 12 degrees in london. as we head into wednesday, low pressure still in charge of our weather, centred in the north sea, and we can see everything topping across it which means in north—west scotland we will see wintriness in the forecast and wintry showers too

across northern ireland, and showers in the self heavy with hail. hello it's monday, it's 10 o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire. our lead story today — the shape of water, about a woman who falls in love with a sea creature, takes the top honours at the oscars. gary oldman picks up best actor for his portrayal of winston churchill in darkest hour. to my mother, thank you for your love and support. put the kettle on. i'm bringing oscar home. also on the programme — it's one of the defining issues facing society right now. should trans—women be allowed into spaces traditionally seen as women only? i remember when i was transitioning, in an attempt to lose some weight and get into shape, ijoined a gym. i know i felt just and get into shape, ijoined a gym. i know i feltjust as vulnerable in a female changing room, so far as

feeling the scrutiny of other women's eyes. and rebecca root, the author of our report, will be with us shortly, along with a transgender campaigner and two feminists who don't believe trans women should be allowed into women's only spaces. and in around half an hour's time theresa may will set out plans to increase the pressure on developers in england to build more homes to tackle the housing shortage. we';ll bring it to you live. here's ben brown with the latest news. gary oldman was the big british success at the 2018 oscars collecting the best actor award for his transformation into winston churchill for darkest hour. the other big winner on the night was frances mcdormand, who picked up the best actress award and paid tribute to the other female nominees. if i may be so honoured to have all the female nominees in every category stand with me inside this room tonight. the actors — meryl, if you do it,

everyone else will, come on. ok, look around, everybody. look around, ladies and gentlemen, because we all have stories to tell and projects we need financed. the cyclist sir bradley wiggins and team sky have been accused of "crossing an ethical line" in their use of medication, in a report by mps. the report by the digital, culture, media and sport committee says the prescriptions were used to enhance performance rather than just for medical need. bradley wiggins and team sky have strongly refuted the claims. and our sports correspondent will have more on this in a moment. ian lucas, one of the mps on the committee behind the report has given his reaction to this programme. i have to say, a lot of this could all have been cleared up if tea m this could all have been cleared up if team sky had acted professionally in presenting medical evidence and retaining medical evidence, which

they ought to have had and which they ought to have had and which they have never supplied. so all of these issues were in the control of tea m these issues were in the control of team sky. but despite repeated opportunities, they have never presented that evidence and the clout that exists over the sport rests squarely with team sky and also british cycling. —— and the cloud that exists. thousands of people in wales and london and the south east have been without water or told to limit their use, because of burst pipes. it follows a rapid thaw after several days of sub—zero temperatures. it's led to the closure of a number of schools in kent, while in london, emergency bottled water is being distributed. a military helicopter will deliver emergency supplies this morning to villages in cumbria that have been cut off for five days because of heavy snow. severe weather wreaking havoc across the county and some areas will remain isolated for another 48 hours because it is taking so long to clear the roads. a chinook helicopter will drop food,

cole and logs for heating, and electrical heaters. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 10.30. we will talk more about the rights of trans—women in a moment. jane sent an e—mail, it's clear to me the trans—women on the show are not real women, they fight other women instead of complaining to men, which are the root of the problem. that's why the patriarch it doesn't go away, women are fighting each other. this tweet, trans activists are quick tojudge people this tweet, trans activists are quick to judge people about the lack of understanding and caring towards trans people, while simultaneously dismissing out of hand the thoughts of those who have concerns about shared spaces. kate on twitter says, trans—women are women and that should be the end of it. survivor or not, no one should be exempt from the blatant trans—phobia of insisting otherwise. rebecca says she supports the trans community in theirfight for equal she supports the trans community in their fight for equal rights. but i

oppose trans forming an identity by hijacking and opposing women's rights. stop fighting those born women with the trans—phobic label. slow down, perverse and take pride informing your slow down, perverse and take pride in forming your own identity. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag victoria live and if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. we can go to the sport now. starting with the department for culture, media and sport select committee report that says team sky and bradley wiggins used potential performance enhancing drugs. they claim drugs were used beyond the requirement for therapeutic use exemption. boast bradley wiggins and tea m exemption. boast bradley wiggins and team sky refute all the allegations. the bbc athletics commentator and former olympic champion steve cram gave his response to the report. —— both bradley wiggins... we have to protect athletes at the highest

level but we have to be careful not to step over the line in terms of misusing tues. i welcome any scenario where we get the guidelines right on that. i don't think anybody has done anything that break the rules around doping, i'm pretty sure about that. some of the headlines coming out are probably not accurate. i think shining a spotlight on it is important to make sure we don't make any mistakes going forward. also in that report, lord coe, president of the iaaf, is accused of giving misleading evidence to the committee regarding his knowledge of corruption in russian athletics. extensive coverage of this story on the bbc sport website. a very good article by sports editor dan roan. we will be across further reaction to that as the day progresses. in football... manchester city manager pep guardiola has until six o'clock this evening to respond to an fa charge of displaying a political symbol for wearing his catalan

independence yellow ribbon. the fa chief executive martin glenn says english football's governing body do not want political symbols in football. guardiola's side are 18 points clear at the top of the premier league after a 1—0 win over reigning champions chelsea. they have already won the league cup and their next piece of silverware is on their next piece of silverware is on the horizon, just four wins away from winning the title, and it would be the earliest time it has ever been won. bernardo silva's strike was enough to another points at the etihad. after back—to—back defeats to city in a league cup final and the league over the past week, arsenal have lost again, this time to brighton, 2—1. lewis dunk and glenn murray with the goals for brighton. its arsenal‘s fourth defeat in a row. because increasing for manager arsene to go. rangers and celtic will face each other in the scottish cup semifinals after rangers beat falkirk 4—1 at ibrox.

jason cummings scored a hat—trick. motherwell beat hearts and they will face aberdeen or kilmarnock. england's women are still unbeaten in the shebelieves cup in the friendly tournament in the usa. they had friendly pep talk from david beckham and the lionesses came from behind twice. agony for millie bright when her own goal gave germany a 2—1 lead. ellen white scored england's first and then rescued them a second time as it finished 2—2. rescued them a second time as it finished 2-2. it shows how much we have grown, the desire, and working ha rd to have grown, the desire, and working hard to compete against the best teams in the world and also beat them. we are disappointed to have drawn. we have come a long way. that's all the sport for now, we will be back with the headlines later. in most of our lifetimes we've seen public attitudes shift on racism, homophobia and most recently on sexual harassment. another defining issue of our time is what rights should be afforded to transgender people and in particular trans—women.

the equality act 2010 means transgender people can't be discriminated against — but public policy hasn't really yet caught up with how to ensure that happens when it comes to things like which toilet or changing rooms trans—women should use, which prison they should be sent to if they commit an offence, whether they should be allowed in a woman's only refuges. the debate can be heated and polarised. we've tried to take some of the heat out of the issue and have asked rebecca root, a trans actor, to report for us. we brought you herfull film earlier — here's a short extract before we have a conversation about this: i'm rebecca root. i'm an actor and a voice teacher and i'm also transgender. since i transitioned in 2003, i've seen a big change in the way that british society now views and accepts the trans community, mostly for the better. but there's an increasing number of complex issues that

are still needing to find answers. so how does society and politicians catch up? how do they find the solutions so that everybody‘s happy? if you look at the way that institutions are built in countries, they're built around that dichotomy, the binary between men and women. this is how we've been able to develop women's health care, right, or how, when we think about prisons, we've created women's prisons and men's prisons because of an assumption about the different needs and challenges that these two genders face. some of the women raising concerns about these issues say that although theyjust want an open discussion about them, they are being silenced. pilgrim tucker is one of them. you say you want a debate, and there's no possible debate to be had but you are called trans—phobic for wanting that debate.

a lot of people are saying there are very significant differences between trans—women and people who are born women. both biological and on the basis of that biology, on the basis of their different anatomy, how they're treated in society and their experience of the world, that needs a lot of careful thought. so let's slow down and really talk about why women might feel cautious about having tra ns—women in their spaces. places where they will feel vulnerable. i remember when i was transitioning, in an attempt to lose some weight and get myself into shape, ijoined a gym. i know that i feltjust as vulnerable in a female changing room so far as feeling the scrutiny

of other women's eyes as i sort of walked in in my swimming costume. i always used the cubicles. i can see how passionate you are, and it seems that you're afraid, almost, of trans people or trans—women in... no, i'm not. i don't think there's anything i've said to make you believe that i'm afraid of trans people, at all. what we spoke about, was we spoke about the prevalence of male crimes towards women. those that campaign for the transgender community, such as paris lees, argue that self id—ing is the next step in acceptance. it's not a debate, and ifind it really offensive that it's framed as a debate. hatred and prejudice against trans people is not up for debate. there's going to be no such thing as a woman and anyone will be able to walk into a toilet and it's going to be the end of the world, and it's nonsense. all we're hearing about is all of people's imagined fears about how it's going to be the absolute end of the world if we make it easier

for you and i to change our birth certificates. i think it's clear not only from the conversations i've had but also from my own experience that, although the trans community has come a long way in its fight for equality and recognition, there's still a distance to go. rebecca root is here along with dr clara barker, a scientist at oxford university and transgender campaigner, whose work has been praised by theresa may. also with us, two feminists who don't believe trans women should be allowed into women's—only spaces. sarah ditum is a journalist who writes for the new statesman and the guardian and has written about tra nsgender issues. dr nicola williams, spokesperson for fair play for women, a women's rights organization. let's cut to the chase — what is the worry about trans women coming into women's spaces like female changing rooms, ladies toilets and hospital wards? just to clarify, what you said... we are not

against trans—women coming into these spaces in all cases. it's just about in some instances, because there are differences between biological women... there are differences between biological women. .. i have to biologicalwomen... i have to pose you because i think your microphone might not be working. biological women, there are differences between biological women and trans women so in instances where biological sex matters, for example ina where biological sex matters, for example in a women's refuge, that would be a case where the equality act, single sex exemption should be allowed to go forward and that should be biological women only. issues like toilets are less important. and what is the worry, what is the concern? the concern is biological women are different to trans women and trans women have been born male

and trans women have been born male and so women need to be reassured about that. although we all think about that. although we all think about transsexual people in operations but actually the majority of transgender people nowadays still retain the penis so these people are biologically still male. i'm going to ask sarah because i still don't know what the worry is. the potential for exploitation. the know what the worry is. the potentialfor exploitation. the idea within self—identity is you are man or woman because you say so and nobody has the right to question it. that is a real problem because it means there will be men who will exploit that, there will be men who are predatory, who will exploit that to gain access to spaces. we have already seen that in prisons. there are men who have moved into the

female estate, and paris green is the name of one example, have to be moved out because of sexual predatory behaviour towards women and that is really troubling and we need to have a system that is stronger than self identification to protect women and trans women. rebecca, do you understand that concern? yes, but it's like you are tarring the whole community of trans women with the brush of one or two people who are bad people and in prison because they have committed crimes. it's like saying every priest is a bad person because one or two, maybe more, priest is a bad person because one ortwo, maybe more, committed offe nces ortwo, maybe more, committed offences against young people for example. so you cannot paint everybody with the same brush. this isa everybody with the same brush. this is a risk to women and trans women. male violence is the problem we are all facing. violent men is an issue

for all of us and we need a system that protects everyone of us around the table from that. we need to remember 90% at least of sexual assault are carried out by people that already know the survivor so i'm not sure how self identification will change that. self identification means anyone can self identify as transgender so that is the issue. we are not scared of transgender people, we are being cautious of the fact that anyone, any man can self identify as a woman. if you are caught doing that, there is a criminal penalty, up to two years in prison. how do you prove someone is lying about their identity? if we move to a situation where self—identity is the rule, it is impossible to say is that someone you don't sincerely identify as bad. is the proposal not that there will

still be checks and balances so people who are self identifying still have to demonstrate a commitment? you are not going to say the lads that put a ballet tutu on and hop on a flight to amsterdam for and hop on a flight to amsterdam for a stag weekend are then going to say i'm female, are they? they could say, they could. can women actually say... say a man walks into the toilets, in this environment now, our women feeling confident enough to say, excuse me, you are man, can you leave? to say, excuse me, you are man, can you leave ? because to say, excuse me, you are man, can you leave? because if that man says he identifies as a woman, there is no other proof required. answer that point. that very specific examples. this isn't a case of trans women and men walking into the bathroom, it is whether you look like a woman or a man, that is what you are policing.

some women walk into bathrooms who look and appear woman about and they are kicked out of those bathrooms. if we are going on biological sex, what about trans men going into female bathrooms, what then? we have every reason to be anxious about male violence. i'm saying trans men have every reason to be anxious about male violence because they may be assaulted. that happens because the major source of violence in our society is men. has that happened? i'm 100% society is men. has that happened? i'm100% sure i could dig one out. paris says in the film there is a link between this and conversations that used to go on around gay men using male changing rooms or gay people adopting or gay teachers and the suggestion there would be a

danger to children. why do you say this is different? firstly because me and nicola were anti—section 28, pro—equal marriage... me and nicola were anti—section 28, pro-equal marriage... it is about what paris has called imagined fears. they are not imagining paris green in the prison, we are not imagining cases where men have maliciously gained access to female spaces. a really good real-life example, girl guides now allow boys who identify as girls to join the girl guides so that means that a child born male, clearly with a penis, would be allowed to sleep overnight with girls. and there is a safeguarding issue there. ok, that is not an imagined fear. you are doing the girl guides is service by

assuming they won't be doing risk assessments. we risk assess everything. my question is, is that an imagined fearora everything. my question is, is that an imagined fear or a realfear that you understand ? an imagined fear or a realfear that you understand? erm... you're assuming the 11—year—old trans girl isa assuming the 11—year—old trans girl is a sexual predator. no, we are assuming there may be natal males, i don't know, i cannot adjudicate on someone's mental state but when i was a teenager natal males in my class exhibited disturbing behaviour. the issue is parents are not even allowed to be informed by the girl guides that this might happen so if a parent sends their daughter off camping, they wouldn't be informed there could be a natal mail boy, there could be a

14—year—old boy in with their ten—year—old daughter in a tent and no one is allowed to know. how can there be informed consent there? all we are asking for is to think of all of the people involved because there is the trans child to be thought of but also the girls. most of the m essa g es we but also the girls. most of the messages we have had from our audience are to do with domestic refuges. miranda says i feel strongly... sorry, this is about a woman's short list having said that. on all women short list i feel strongly trans women should not be on short lists, i am not transphobic. i on short lists, i am not tra nsphobic. i totally on short lists, i am not transphobic. i totally accept them in society but they are not women and never will be. a woman is a person who has a womb. trans women would not be eligible to run as female candidates. i would have no problem with them running as trans candidates. what would you say to that, rebecca? does that mean people

who have had hysterectomies cannot stand on all women short lists? no, thatis stand on all women short lists? no, that is very different. natal sex matters, being female matters. the reason we have women only short lists is because there are things that happen to women that make it harder to have careers in politics, there is sex discrimination. this is about refuges, if a trans woman needs a woman's refuge it is because she's a woman, not someone pretending to be. "i have no problem with trans women, i can however understand some people might feel uncomfortable in changing rooms, particularly if the person has not yet undergone full reassignment surgery". emma kania is in blackpool. she was in a domestic violence refuge last year for seven months. what is your own view? the refuge

should be a safe space forward mean only. i wouldn't have felt safe there if there had been either self identifying women or transgender women there. neither would have the people living with me. can you give some insight about why you don't think you would have felt safe?” needed that women only space. they understood what i had been through. i needed to feel safe and i wouldn't have felt safe if there had been someone there with a penis. clara, how do you react to that? it is a valid concern but this is all about whether you look male or female. the chances are trans women are not going to be flaunting their anatomy in front of you in a refuge or other. people can be perceived as

male. people are very good at doing that, being able to spot... it does matter, do you look male or female because how people are treated depends so much on that. let's say a trans woman was in the refuge that you were in and they looked like you, but they had a penis, you knew that, would you have felt unsafe? yes, just because i don't trust any men at the moment so it would have made me feel on safe. to me, a true woman has menstrual cycles, you know, it's different. they are not male, they are not female, they are transgender. why don't you talk to emma and tell her why that's

offensive for you to hear that? my mother doesn't have a menstrual cycle but she is a natalfemale. mother doesn't have a menstrual cycle but she is a natal female. she did do in the past. but you are talking about the current time. do you know what hormone therapy dust of the libido of a natal male? we don't know they are on oestrogen therapy because it is self—identity. no medical treatment is necessary, simply identifying yourself as female is all that would be required to come into the women's refuge.” wa nt to to come into the women's refuge.” want to ask clara and rebecca, legitimate questions raised by emma would you say for example, and often the worry is that if a person raises what might be considered to be a reasonable or legitimate concern, they are immediately described as transphobic. do you agree that happens, and what can we do about it? it can happen but it is a two

way street. any arguments made by trans people are shut down and if there was an equivalent word it would be used towards trans women. it is so important we have conversations like this and it can be an enormously febrile discussion and that is of no benefit to any of us because the constant theme we have been coming back to is the issue we are contending with is male violence. in terms of women's refuges, women's movements did extraordinary work in the 1980s establishing them. it is all there for trans women to learn from in terms of establishing your own specialist services. there are things trans women experience that i will never experience.” things trans women experience that i will never experience. i don't think anybody in the trans community is saying there shouldn't be spaces that protect vulnerable people of whatever gender they are. i think if

the situation were to arise where somebody felt threatened, i'm sure the people who operated that place would investigate and say this person has, until yesterday, would investigate and say this person has, untilyesterday, been sporting a big bushy beard and rocking up as jack. i will also say that i have talked to a few people that i have talked to a few people that run rape crisis centres and they do, they want to help everyone. you are saying we should have trans specific services but they are also under capacity for the services they provide to a single gender.m under capacity for the services they provide to a single gender. it is an under resourced sector so the pressure to provide gender neutral services is even worse. sorry to interrupt, a final question — do you think there are people who are transphobic who are exploiting ignorance in order to whip up fears? i think there are definitely people who are transphobic and who wouldn't wa nt to who are transphobic and who wouldn't want to have the kind of

conversation we've had here, who wouldn't want to acknowledge the risk and danger you face as trans women and i want no part of them. i don't think that hatred has any place, i really think we should be working together to address how do we all address male violence in a way that approaches a specific situations? it's about balancing rights. transgender people need to be free of discrimination, women, females do, all of the different categories need to be balanced and it needs to be fair so we are just asking because i think women's voices have been silenced really up until now so we are just asking to be able to be heard. not to be told that we are transphobic because this isa that we are transphobic because this is a great environment today. this is a great environment today. this is unusual to have two women and two trans women here so this is a great start. we can start talking because nobody wants to take rights away

from anybody. and the nicola articulated that, she said women and trans women. is that 0k? said women and trans women. is that ok? yes, speaking personally i'm not going to nit—pick over the labels we assign people. i am happy to be called a trans—woman, i am equally happy to be called a woman. but some trans women would take great exception. what i welcome about this conversation and the opportunity to make the film is that i had some very considered conversations with people from both sides of the fence, if you like. that's what i welcome in this forum, this conversation, is that it was nuanced and considered and respectful. it's on social media where people get hot under the collar, that's when you think, let's just talk. it's people like us that

who want to be reasonable and share rights. that's what we're asking for. thank you very much for coming on the programme, we appreciate it. we have some breaking news, but my ta blet we have some breaking news, but my tablet is not working, so i will tell you that theresa may is due to give a speech at any moment now setting out the government's new policy on house—building in england and we will bring that to you live. but first — people in many parts of the uk are without water after pipes burst following last week's freeze. millions of people in london and the south—east have been told not to use water for anything that isn't essential. let's speak now to geoff marshall who lives in streatham in south london and has had no water since yesterday and sara anderson, the landlady of the old vine pub in wadhurst in kent where they have had no water since saturday morning. thank you both very much. how is it going, the pub landlady. it's very

depressing, still no water. how are you coping? we are closed today, but it has been disastrous over the weekend. have you had much communication from your water company? communication from your water 7 0 communication from your water company? no, not really. the odd text. communication has been very poon text. communication has been very poor. what about you, geoff. we had a small amount of water comeback at about 9am, but it's very low pressure and it's not enough to shower, which is why my hair looks like this! but they don't seem to communicate what's going on at thames water. it took them until about midnight last night to recognise the postcode was affected and there is very little information coming from them as to when a fix might occur. what's been the worst bit for you? i went out and bought a

lot of bottled water today but i can't shower. my girlfriend is at home today and she can't use the bathroom. you can't wash. we can do number ones but not a number twos! we will cause you, because he is theresa may and her latest speech on housing. about my desire to make this a country that works for everyone. a country that regardless of where you live, your race, religion, what your parents do for a living, you have a fair chance to get on and build a life for yourself and family. it's a philosophy that shapes everything this government does. over the past 18 months we have done much to help turn vision into reality. we are reforming schools, colleges and universities so that all children and young people get the education that's right for them. we are addressing failures in the justice system, making it more transparent so that racial disparities can be at a

divide and ironed out. we are raising the national living wage, increasing income tax personal allowa nce increasing income tax personal allowance and capping energy bills so people are able to keep more of the money they have worked so hard to earn. and as i said at mansion house on friday, we are negotiating a brexit deal that works for the whole of the uk so nobody feels they have been left behind. it's all about making this country a fairer place for all. breathing fresh life into the british dream that every generation has a betterfuture into the british dream that every generation has a better future than the last. but we cannot fulfil that dream, we cannot bring about the kind of society i want to see, u nless we kind of society i want to see, unless we tackle one of the biggest barriers to social mobility we face today, the national housing crisis. the causes and manifestations vary from place to place. but the impact is all too clear. in much of the country, housing is so unaffordable that millions of people who would reasonably expect to buy their own home, are unable to do so. others

are struggling even to find somewhere to rent. the root cause of this crisis is simple. for decades, this crisis is simple. for decades, this country has failed to build enough of the right homes in the right places. it's a problem that has played successive governments of all colours since post—war house—building peeked under the first wilson administration. but it was from the mid—19 90s that the failure to match demand with supply. in1997, failure to match demand with supply. in 1997, the average home cost 3.5 times the average wage. by 2010, that ratio had more than doubled. higher prices brought with them higher rents, so prospective first—time buyers found themselves able to save less and less, even as the size of the deposit they needed grew and grew. the result is a vicious circle, from which most people can only escape with help from the bank of mum and dad. if you

are not lucky enough to have such support, the door to home ownership is all too often locked and barred. talking to voters during last year's election campaign, it was clear that many people, particularly younger people, are angry about this. angry that regardless about how hard they work, they will not be able to buy a place of their own. angry when they are forced to hand over more of their wages to landlords to whom their wages to landlords to whom their home is simply a business asset. angry that no matter how many sacrifices they make to save for a deposit, they will never be able to compete with someone whose parents have released equity from their own home to help their children by. they are right to be angry. income inequality is down since 2010, thanks in part to increases in the personal allowance and the national living wage, but wealth inequality continues to rise. and as figures such as matthew ron darby argue, it

is wealth unearned and offering huge returns that lies at the heart of the disparity. but the crisis goes beyond the simple division between housing haves and have—nots. the crisis of affordability also creates crisis of affordability also creates crisis of affordability also creates crisis of almost little social mobility. think of the skilled experienced worker who is offered a promotion but cannot afford to take it up because it would mean moving toa it up because it would mean moving to a town or city where he can't afford to live. think of the talented young woman from a working—class background who cannot afford to take an entry—level professionaljob because she wouldn't be able to live nearby. it's not so hard to accept that door opening internship in london if your pa rents opening internship in london if your parents on a large house in central london. it's a much greater challenge if you share a room with your siblings in

challenge if you share a room with yoursiblings ina challenge if you share a room with your siblings in a north wales terrace. so the shortage of housing in this country reinforces inequality. it prevents social mobility and stops people fulfilling their potential. it creates and exacerbates divisions between generations and between those who own property and those who do not. and it undermines something more, something less tangible butjust as important, the sense of community, of belonging. of responsibility that comes with owning your own home, or having an affordable, secure, long—term tenancy. i still vividly remember the first home i shared with my husband, philip. not only our actors on the walls and books on the shelves, but also the security that came from knowing we couldn't be asked to move on at short notice. and because we had that security, because we had a place to go back to, it was that much easier to play an active role in our community. to share in the common purpose of a free society. and that is what this

country should be about. notjust having a roof over your head, but having a roof over your head, but having a roof over your head, but having a stake in your community and its future. all that is put at risk by the mismatch between housing supply and housing demand. and the soaring prices that have resulted. this government is already taking action to help hard—pressed buyers. we are putting in extra £10 billion into help to buy, giving another 135,000 families a step up the property ladder. we are scrapping stamp duty for 80% of first—time buyers and looking at ways to make the whole process of buying and selling homes quicker, easier and cheaper. but to stop the seemingly endless rise in house prices, we simply have to build more homes. especially in the places where an affordability is greatest. —— where the lack of affordability is

greatest to stop doing so requires action on many fronts and at the heart of the matter is the planning process. planning professionals might not be as visible as the bricklayers, carpenters and roofers, but we cannot build the homes we need without them. because if there is one thing i learned from my time on merton council, its that good planning is all about detail. it's very easy for a politician to stand up very easy for a politician to stand up and say he or she will build however many homes in however many yea rs. however many homes in however many years. but it's an empty promise if they don't also address the smaller issues that underpin it. where in the country will they be built? in what communities, what sites, what kind of homes will they be and what infrastructure will be needed to support them? will the plans be imposed from above or will local people have a say in what happens in their area? these are the kind of questions that need to be answered by anyone who is serious about getting homes built. they are the kind of questions asked every day by planning professionals. and they are

the kind of questions this government is answering with the new fairer more effective planning rules we are launching today. when using correctly, as was the case for many yea rs, correctly, as was the case for many years, —— when used incorrectly, as was a case for many years, it can block up the system. but in the right hands it can help regulate, shape and drive the construction of homes in this country. this government is rewriting the rules on planning with a major overhaul being published today. we are giving councils and developers the backing they need to get more homes built more quickly. more homes at prices that are affordable for first—time buyers. more homes for nhs staff, teachers, firefighters and other key workers on whom all communities depend. more homes for rent on family friendly, three—year tenancies. we are streamlining the planning process so much—needed

homes are not held up by endless appeals and bureaucracy. we are making it easier for neglected and abandoned commercial sites to be turned into housing. and we are making sure councils do all they can to find sites, granted planning permissions and build homes. that includes creating a nationwide standard that shows how many homes authorities need to plan for in their area, making the system fairer and more transparent. our new rules will see to it that is the right infrastructure is in place to support such developments. when people propose large scale the releva nt people propose large scale the relevant in their area, it's often because they are worried their village or town will not be able to bear the weight of hundreds of new arrivals. their schools are already full and roads already congested. the waiting list at their gp is already too long. they want to know that any new homes will be accompanied by appropriate new facilities and infrastructure. and under our new planning rules, that is exactly what will happen. local

communities will be put at the heart of the planning process, by seeing to it that all areas have an up—to—date plan. yet we must not lose sight of the fact that planning for the homes we need is not the same as building the homes we need. after all, families can't live in a planning permission. a well—designed local plan will not keep your children safe and warm at night. the reforms driven forward under our last prime minister led to a great and welcome increase in the number of planning permission is granted, but we did not see a corresponding rise in the number of homes being built. all of that is changing. the secretary of state for housing, sajid javid, along with his ministerial team and their officials, are doing incredible work in tackling failings at every level of the housing sector. i have taken personal charge of meeting the housing challenge, leading a task force that brings together ministers and officials from every corner of

the answer, all the evidence shows that just reforming planning the answer, all the evidence shows thatjust reforming planning and expecting the developers to build the homes we need is pie in the sky. of course they have a clear and vital role to play, but the government must also step in if homes are going to get built. we are committing at least £44 billion of funding to support the housing market. we have changed the rules so authorities facing the greatest affordability pressures can access the finance they need to build more council homes for local people. we have given homes england a more muscular proactive role in site assembly, bringing together patches of land to create a coherent site suitable for development. we are investigating innovative, modern construction methods that get more homes build more quickly. the £5

billion housing infrastructure fund has already made its first awards, investing almost £900 million in the roads, cycle parts, flood defences and other essential works that will allow for the construction of up to 200,000 homes that would otherwise not get built. and we have put an additional £1.5 billion into the home—building fund, helping smaller developers build homes that don't attract finance from the private sector. as one builder put it, after finishing a development in derbyshire, the banks were very sceptical and unhelpful. let's pause and getan sceptical and unhelpful. let's pause and get an immediate reaction to some of the things theresa may has been saying. naomi willis is here, herfamily has been saying. naomi willis is here, her family has lived in been saying. naomi willis is here, herfamily has lived in nine rented houses in nine years. we can also speak to kevin hollinrake — conservative mp for thirsk and malton and member of the housing

select committee, and to tom shaw — labour member of luton council. luton is one of the fastest growing cities in england but has been accused of being slow to build houses for the growing population. kevin, we need 300,000 homes builty each year to fix the housing crisis — how does this latest plan do that? there is a 50% increase in the number of new home completions since the recession but we need to build a lot more, we need 217,000 new homes last year —— we built. lot more, we need 217,000 new homes last year -- we built. since 2010 you have never reached the 300,000 figure in any year. the last time we reached that figure was 1972 so there's an awful lot of work to do and buses to get right and that's what the prime minister was outlining. many local authorities to

put effective plans in place. we need developers to build more homes and deallocate sites where developers don't develop and we need more small builders, and more land to be released, public sector land and private sector land, and we need to have a decision about the price we are paying for that land to make sure homes are more affordable. they are alljust words, with respect. this there has been a 100% increase in the number of new home starts... in this speech, i'm talking about. but her policies are absolutely right. york has not had a local plan for over 50 yea rs right. york has not had a local plan for over 50 years which puts more pressure on neighbouring local authorities. their numbers in their plan are around 300 short of the objectively assessed number of homes required every year in york. some local authorities are gaming the system because it can be politically

difficult to build new homes. there are3 difficult to build new homes. there are 3 million people in this country living in poverty as a result of the house prices. we need to tackle this issue now. this naomi willis, you would agree. have you heard anything from mrs may that makes you think this will make a difference? the problem is will the property actually be affordable? is you are having five times the level of salary to get a mortgage. by normal people's standards that is not. are these going to go out to first time buyers or our landlord is going to come in and buy the properties. the town over from us had a come in and buy the properties. the town overfrom us had a new development go in and soon as they

we re development go in and soon as they were built, it was to let across all of the properties. that's a good point, how would your government stop that from happening? absolutely right, and the government set aside £9 billion for affordable housing. affordable housing is 80% of market value and quite right, to a lot of people that is still unaffordable. housing benefit helps but we also need more socially rented homes which are around 40—50% of market value. that is part of government policy but essentially it's about supply of more homes. councils are not doing enough, that's the bottom line, isn't it? no, it's not. the government needs to give the council 's the freedom to borrow what they need. you have a false restriction on the housing revenue account. so

let councils borrow more? yes, and let councils borrow more? yes, and let them get on with the job. and i would agree with that. why weren't the prime minister let them? the housing minister is that what they will let them do, in areas... they will let them do, in areas... they will be allowed to borrow more. i'm going to leave it there, thank you to all of you for your time. thank you for your messages on trans women and their rights. paula says, i am a warm with a transgender past, i was never a proper man. even when i was a soldierfighting never a proper man. even when i was a soldier fighting for my country. it was a constant source of regret that i was not born as a girl and it wasn't until 2005 i was able to

commence transition. i took seven yea rs of commence transition. i took seven years of hormonal treatments, therapeutic support and walking the walk before i had corrective surgery. i now have a gender recognition certificates and i'm accepted recognition certificates and i'm a cce pted by recognition certificates and i'm accepted by my female friends and work colleagues. i would ask, who is more female? who, through the accident of birth, was born female, ori? this is from geek, i am a transgender woman, my solution is simple, i only use non—gendered to i lets. simple, i only use non—gendered toilets. e—mailfrom simple, i only use non—gendered toilets. e—mail from tracy, toilets. e—mailfrom tracy, these people arejudging toilets. e—mailfrom tracy, these people are judging people on their genitals. how do they know what genitals. how do they know what genitals anyone has unless they swan around naked ? thanks genitals anyone has unless they swan around naked? thanks for getting in touch. "america has failed our kids," the words of a mother whose children

have been caught up in both the columbine and florida school shootings. 12 students and one teacher were killed in colombine and 12 students and five adults were killed in florida. celia randolph's children attended both schools at the time of the shooting and on each ocassion she recieved the call that every american parent dreads, saying that a shooting was under way. now she's using those tragedies to speak out on gun control in the states. we can speak to her now alongside her 16—year—old son christian, who is a junior at marjory stoneman douglas high school in parkland. and her daughter chelsea, who is 26 and was caught up in columbine. good morning. thank you for talking to

us. i want to ask you as a mother about getting a call, about getting about getting a call, about getting a text to say there is shooting under at your child's school. this before we go there, i do need to correct the information you just provided. my daughter chelsea did not attend columbine, columbine was about an hour away from where we lived, and she attended different high school which had a of a different nature. i apologise, celia. as far as getting a call and a text both times, the call came from our older daughter natasha. prior to getting that call from natasha, this time for christian i got a text from a friend of mine

whose daughter had been in school with chelsea, and she knew now that we lived here and that christian attended the school. i got a text from her asking me in general where he was, then immediately got the call from natasha telling me about the shooting and both times it was heart stopping. you began to text christian of course, like any parent would in that scenario. actually i ran to my car and started driving over there, and didn't actually think to text, to be honest, until i got closer because i knew i needed to be there. it is. texting him as soon as it was safe, at stoplights, and there was no answer and i kept texting and texting. that was really, really scary because the

kids of course answer back immediately. christian, i gather you went back to school for the first time on wednesday. how are you?” think we are all still processing, me and the other kids, but we are trying to salvage something out of this, make a change of lethal doesn't happen again. chelsea, what is your view on the gun—control legislation in the states and what has to change now? i think it's important we all use our voices and that we make a stand to make sure the military style weapons get the end, that there are harsher background checks and they are more comprehensive. we believe that 18—year—olds should not be able to

obtain military style weapons. jason, do you think this really is a tipping point? i believe so. these shootings are affecting so many people that it's got to a point that eve ryo ne people that it's got to a point that everyone is getting together, whether you are republican or democrat we are coming together as pa rents, democrat we are coming together as parents, right? and we are trying to address this issue so it is a tipping point i believe. celia, what do you believe your mission is now? i have been thrown into this. when it happened to chelsea, that was in 2006, we looked at it as a random act of violence in our community. this is a tipping point for all of us and moving forward i cannot be silent any more. sol us and moving forward i cannot be silent any more. so i want to advocate more for reasonable

gun—control and restriction and safety in our schools and also address the mental health issues. thank you, and i apologise for my error again, but thank you for your time. thanks for your company today, back tomorrow at 9am. have a good day. hello, after the destructive snow and severe wind—chill of last week, this week is looking by comparison something a bit quieter. it won't be as cold, still unsettled with rain around at times and also some snow, mainly on northern hills. let's take a look at some of the weather watcher pictures through this morning, this is the scene in west yorkshire, you can see mist and fog in the distance and plenty of snow

across parts of scotland. here is the earlier satellite picture, two areas of cloud. this one is ringing patchy rain and also hill snow through this afternoon. this band of rain across england and wales will slowly work its way north and east woods. in between, some bright and sunny spells. temperature wise, certainly feeling milder than it has done of late with a top temperature of around ten or maybe even 11 celsius. rain pushing northwards overnight with snow over the hills. this is bbc news and these are the top stories developing

"do your duty!‘ — theresa may puts pressure on developers in england to build more houses. the government will make sure that land is available for homes and that our young people have the skills needed to build them. in return, i expect developers to do their duty for britain and build the homes are country needs. for britain and build the homes are country needs. while planning reform is important, a military helicopter is deployed to deliver emergency supplies to villages in cumbria which have been cut off for five
