hello, it's tuesday, it's 9 o'clock. i'm victoria derbyshire, welcome to the programme our top story today — planting fake news, spying on rivals, hiring beautiful women for use in honeytra ps, some of the things the boss of election campaign consultants cambridge analytica talked about when talking to a possible client who was, in fact, an undercover reporter. the boss now says that report grossly misrepresented those conversations. please see this as a coordinated attack by the media that's been going on for very, very many months —— we see this as. in order to damage the company that had some involvement with the election the information commissioner says she'll be investigating — we'll hear from her before the end of the programme. also on the programme — in an exclusive interview, actor michael sheen tells us how he's taking on rent to own companies which charge huge interest rates for household products — it's an issue we've investigated before.

isaid i said where's it from? brighthouse. isaid, oh, i said where's it from? brighthouse. i said, oh, my god. i said where's it from? brighthouse. isaid, oh, my god. how i said where's it from? brighthouse. i said, oh, my god. how many times have i said don'tjudge them with a barge pole?! we will hear from michael sheen and former labour leader ed miliband in the next 15 minutes. and hair plays a huge part in our self image and self esteem — so what impact does it have on you if you start losing it in yours 205? i thought i am too young for her loss, i have just i thought i am too young for her loss, i havejust turned i thought i am too young for her loss, i have just turned 25, i thought i am too young for her loss, i havejust turned 25, i have experienced this since college. i am way too young to be losing my hair. hello. welcome to the programme, we're live until 11. as we are each weekday. throughout the morning we'll bring you the latest breaking news and developing stories and — as always — we're keen to hear from you. also we'll bring you this story — the world's last male northern white

rhino has died in kenya, bringing the sub—species to the very brink of extinction. the 45—year—old rhino, who was called sudan, was in poor health and was put down on monday. his daughter and grand—daughter are the only females remaining now. we'll look at what this means and talk to those who knew sudan. do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning — use the hashtag #victorialive. you can also send an e—mail or message is on facebook or twitter. if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. our top story today... the information commissioner will today apply for a warrant to search the offices of a british company accused of misusing the personal data of 50 million facebook users. a former employee of cambridge analytica has accused it of exploiting information about facebook users in order to influence the us presidential election. its executives have also been filmed by channel 4 news suggesting it could use honey traps and potentially bribery to discredit politicians. both cambridge analytica

and facebook deny any wrongdoing. mark lobel reports. a leading british data mining firm is today battling to save its reputation. yet, this is complex to do... executives from cambridge analytica have been secretly filmed by channel 4 news apparently suggesting it could use honey traps and potential bribery to discredit politicians. but the company hit back, criticising how the programme was edited, claiming they do not engage in honey traps or bribes. last night, the company's chief executive spoke to the bbc. i have a huge amount of regrets about the fact that we maybe undertook this meeting and spoke with a certain amount of hyperbole about some of the things that we do. but the allegations don't end there. cambridge analytica may be responsible for a major breach of ordinary people's data, too. it has been accused of using

the personal data from 50 million facebook users to encourage voters to back donald trump during the 2016 us presidential election. a whistleblower from the company claims a personality quiz on facebook was used to amass the data. that potential breach of privacy has alarmed the information commissioner who today, citing cambridge analytica's lack of co—operation, is seeking a warrant to search its databases and servers. facebook suspended cambridge analytica from its services last week and instructed a digital forensic team to find out if it still has the data in question, but cambridge analytica claimed it has deleted all the data it obtained from a third party application in 2014 after learning the information did not adhere to data protection rules. mark lobel, bbc news. our correspondent keith doyle is here now. what else can you tell us? cambridge

analytica wants to be in the background, obviously, and it is finding itself in the headlines, something it definitely does not once. those allegations of last night, the recording is broadcast by channel 4, in that aleksander nix was asked about digg dummett radebe digging, he said we do a lot more than that. —— was asked about deep digging. we could offer clients a deal that seems too good to be true, maybe send some girls around. he said he was grossly misrepresented and they were following ludicrous hypothetical scenarios so as not to embarrass what they thought was a potential client. now we know the information commissioner elizabeth denham wants to look at their servers and computers. liam byrne, the shadowed digital business minister is questioning that, questioning whether she has the right legal powers to be able to

carry out a thorough search. he says that in effect she has given them a bit of a heads up and now they know what lies in store, so he says it is the wild west out there. it will be interesting to hear what she says later. thank you, keith. we will hear both from labour's liam byrne and the information commissioner later. annita mcveigh has the rest of the day's news. jeremy corbyn says the uk must steel deal with vladimir putin despite evidence pointing to his country's involvement in the salisbury spy attack. the labour leader said he would do business with russia but assertively and on the basis of uk values. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he believes putin was responsible but mr corbyn said he wa nted responsible but mr corbyn said he wanted an absolutely definitive a nswer wanted an absolutely definitive answer about the source of the nerve agent. former french president nicolas sarkozy is being held in police custody in connection with an

numerous times, a person with no direction or purpose, but the list is not exhaustive. it's very much what is suspicious to that person. as part of the police campaign, there is a short film to show people the kind of things they should report. we have long said every good police officer should be a counterterrorism officer. i want every good citizen to be a good counterterrorism citizen and this is the way they can do just that. counterterrorism police say they received more than 6000 useful tipoffs last year out of almost 31,000 calls and messages and they want the information to keep on coming. danny shaw, bbc news. fathers wanting to take an equal share in looking after young children are being failed by workplace policies, the government is being warned. the women and equalities committee said that, despite good intentions, policies aimed at helping fathers are not delivering what they

speaking to people who've lost their hair in their twenties. they've been talking about the effect it had had on their lives and the measures they're taking to deal with it. you can see our special report in about fifteen minutes' time. that's a summary of the latest bbc news — more at 9:30am. we will talk to actor michael sheen ina we will talk to actor michael sheen in a moment. he is launching a campaign to promote alternative credit companies who have much cheaper credit than big payday loan companies and the rent to own companies, something we have featured on this programme a number of times. we will talk to him in a moment, but firstjess has the sport. there is debate about whether serena williams has been given the rough end of the draw in miami? lots of debate about this, especially in the bbc sports centre in salford.

she has returned after 13 months off. she used to be the world number one but since returning is currently ranked a91st. and because of that low ranking, she will play a tougher opponent earlier on in a tournament, rather than in the latter stages, making it more difficult for her to win. the director of the miami 0pen, where serena will play in the first round this evening, has described the whole thing as "punishment" against serena for taking time out to have a baby. james blake suggests there should be protection for women players that go on maternity leave. his quotes are quite strong. the women's tennis association recently said that they are very supportive of those players

returning from pregnancy and the players... and the rules, i should say, will be further reviewed. but we have not had a response from serena yet, amazingly. she plays in miami this evening so we expect to hearfrom her miami this evening so we expect to hear from her possibly a miami this evening so we expect to hearfrom her possibly a bit miami this evening so we expect to hear from her possibly a bit later. all the dust and snow has settled on the six nations, everyone happy and the six nations, everyone happy and the ireland camp but questions being asked of eddie jones? the fallout from england's rubber skin showing in the six nations continues. former playerjeremy guscott is having his siame believes england need to start from scratch and have not made any progress in the last year. they were defending six nations champions, they lost three of their five matches, finishing fifth in the table. there was so much fanfare

when eddiejones, table. there was so much fanfare when eddie jones, the table. there was so much fanfare when eddiejones, the head coach, took the mantle and they went on an amazing run of winning games, but it has all fallen apart and there are major questions to be as ofjones and the england players. we don't normally feature football from chile, something we need to rectify immediately. show as this outstanding acting acclamation this is the chilean top—flight. definitely a contender for worst dive of the year, possibly ever. you only really get to see it in the slow replay. the defender in white falls down, the attacker thinks no, i will not kick it, i will throw myself to the floor. look how his neck cocks back, he rides around on the floor a little bit and amazingly, because of acting, he won amazingly, because of acting, he won a penalty. no! you reap what you sow, that will come back to haunt

him. thank you very much, jessica. welcome to the programme. tackling those who unfairly target the most vulnerable in society — the british actor, michael sheen, who's starred in films such as frost/nixon, the queen and the twilight saga, has founded a new initiative aimed at providing fairer alternatives to mainstream rent—to—own firms. the end high cost credit alliance will invest in not—for—profit companies to compete and win against high—cost credit providers like brighthouse and perfect home. rent—to—own firms are often used by people who cannot afford to buy a product outright, or cannot get credit. consumers take out an agreement to buy a product and then pay weekly instalments until they own it — similar to a hire purchase agreement. but customers can end up paying much more than the actual cost of the product due to high rates of interest and extra costs such as a mandatory warranty. it's an issue we've

been looking at for some time on this programme. injuly, 2016, former labour leader ed miliband reported on the subject for us and highlighted one example that a £358 washing machine ended up costing more than £1,000. with so much choice on the high street, we're told the customer is king. as leader of the labour party and a backbench mp, i have talked about the needs for firms to do right by their customers and play by the rules. they have 300 stores across the country, often in the poorest areas, brighthouse. iwant the country, often in the poorest areas, brighthouse. i want to find out what kind of service they are really providing. i am concerned brighthouse are taking advantage of people on benefits and low incomes. in the course of our investigation, i have been really shocked to find

brighthouse are selling to people with mental health problems and learning disabilities. suffers with mental health problems, severe. craig is 38, with autism and cerebral palsy. his mum says her son did not understand the contract. she spoke to us on his behalf. he will pay but then he has nothing for himself. for food and pay but then he has nothing for himself. forfood and electric, gas, things like that. he is quite a handful. tell us a bit about what experience you have had but brighthouse. craig apparently had beenin brighthouse. craig apparently had been in and bought this machine where you play games. i kept seeing it in the house and i did not really twea k it in the house and i did not really tweak and then i said, where did you... how much are you paying for that? he said £50. it was 43 a month. i said, where is it from? he said brighthouse. isaid, my god,

how many times have i said do not touch them with a barge pole? do you think it would have been obvious to the brighthouse staff craig has learning difficulties? yes. what was the reaction of brighthouse when you complained in the shop and when you wrote to them? they said, we have been through this, a new man at the shop, we go through this to make sure they know what they are getting. i said, sure they know what they are getting. isaid, that sure they know what they are getting. i said, that is no good to craig. although she believes brighthouse should have realised her son was from rubble, she says they stop taking payments from his account as soon as she told them about his situation —— her son was vulnerable. brighthouse dispute the claims it would have been obvious he had learning difficulties. they had no reason to believe he was not aware of what he was doing. there are those who make the case there was a gap in the market and perfect

home, brighthouse and others provide an essential purpose. the fundamental question is whether we think these people should be able to think these people should be able to opt into a contract where they pay more overall or have the appliance, it is an injustice to tell people that because they are poor they cannot have things that we consider necessities. some of the companies are making very big profits at the expense of my constituents. how is itfair? expense of my constituents. how is it fair? they are taking on a lot of risk. they are making marginal profits because they are loaning to people with average credit scores. these went to an companies often ta ke these went to an companies often take on people with no credit score, they do not know if they will get they do not know if they will get the payment, they take on a lot of risk. they get their profits because they have to insure down the line they will get some kind of return but in the meantime people who would not have the goods are getting them to their homes next day delivery. that report from ed miliband, 2016. and he is here. former labour leader

of course. in glasgow is michael sheen who's launching this move to end the high cost of credit and is giving his first interview on the subject to us this morning. we would like your experiences. a world away from your dayjob, tell our audience what it is you are launching and what you wanted to achieve. i'm in glasgow for a responsible finance forum, i want to launch the end high—cost credit alliance and it is to create a fairer deal for the people who find themselves unable to access mainstream credit and a fairer deal for the company is trying to help those people out, to try to give them the best deal possible. it is double tracked. and you have been made aware of the effect of this kind of high cost credit on friends and family, i gather? over the last seven, eight years, when you have a

little bit of celebrity, like i do, you get asked to come and support different projects and one of the things that has kept coming up is this issue around household debt and high cost credit. i started to see it with friends and family members and the burden that is, the stress it puts on your health, your financial and mental and physical health, as i started to get more involved in this issue, i wanted to see if i could be effective, i did not want to just lend my name to something, i wanted to help people trying to help others to see if we could make a change. let me read you this text message from one of our viewers, jerome. why do people buy things they do not need and cannot afford?” need and cannot afford? i have not got a 50 inch tv, i could not afford one. it is not the shop's fault

people are stupid. what we are seeing is people are having to go to high cost credit lenders to cover basic household cross. there was a report coming out saying that as of last year 1.4 million people are now using high cost creditjust to cover basic household costs, up from 1.1 million the year before, it is on the rise. since the 2008 crash, wage earnings have not been able to keep up earnings have not been able to keep up with inflation, so the cost of living is getting higher and wages are not matching it, there is a squeeze for people and people are feeling it more and more. is there anything wrong with this kind of of customers know the risks and charges? credit can be a really good thing, the useful and necessary tool, if done responsibly unfairly. we try to plan on what is coming down the line, but sometimes the washing machine breaking down can cause a crisis, we have to have access to help when we need it, the problem is that if there are people who are looking out for that and preying on people when they are in

difficulty, that seems unfair. there are alternatives but people do not know about them because they do not have the marketing budget is the big companies have so the point is to make sure people are aware they have other options but we have to support those options so they can take on these people. we did contact brighthouse, one of the rent—to—own companies, they said they did not wa nt to companies, they said they did not want to comment or appear on the programme, but they suggest they are offering something no one else is and it is a service. yeah, we talk about things like apr which is essentially the cost of borrowing, and the companies that are, i would say, fairer, more responsible, the apr still looks relatively high, nowhere near as high as the more irresponsible companies, as i would say, but to bring the apr down, we have to support them, we have to give them a level playing field to compete because there is a gap in the market, as yourfilm

compete because there is a gap in the market, as your film was saying, people do need help, it isjust the market, as your film was saying, people do need help, it is just they are not as aware of the other companies. are you providing in practical terms an alternative source of credit or are you simply promoting cheaper alternative providers of instant credit that already exist? we want to take a look at the entire sector, creating afairer look at the entire sector, creating a fairer level playing field across the whole place and that is what ed would support, i think, if you look at individual sections, it is hard to tackle, so you have to take a more holistic look and that is why the alliances working with regulators and policymakers and funders and think tanks and gra nt—making organisations to funders and think tanks and grant—making organisations to try to create a real shift in the financial landscape, not just to create a real shift in the financial landscape, notjust to try create a real shift in the financial landscape, not just to try to stop the worst practices but to support the worst practices but to support the better ones. you will be aware of sometimes cynicism that sometimes

exists when high profile wealthy people like yourself get involved in issues like this, will you be putting some of your own money into this? the alliance so far has been funded by my own money, this is something... iam not funded by my own money, this is something... i am not an expert but i wanted to make sure people who are experts and have experience and resources come together and work together because this requires a lot of different things happening at the same time. what i found i can bring to the table as i can get people to sit in the same room together, that would not normally, even if it is just to sign a copy of twilight and i have freedom and independence and i'm not looking for votes, i'm not getting paid, i can be more problematic about it and this is a cross— party problematic about it and this is a cross—party politics, it is about a fairer deal ——i cross—party politics, it is about a fairer deal —— i can be more pragmatic. ed miliband, this is what brighthouse say, they serve low—income families excluded from

mainstream credit, went to owners are very different proposition to other forms of we undertake extensive affordability assessment —— rent—to—own is a very different proposition. it is worth saying what has happened since i did the film. since then, the fco, the people in charge, they have find brighthouse nearly £15 million and they have made them pay back money to customers because of the sharp practices, they said they were not responsible lenders. we have also seen some changes to brighthouse's practices. one of the things i highlighted was the way they bundled together the so—called 5—star service they offered on the price and that has changed. the fundamental problem, michael talked about this very well, you have got the most vulnerable people who do not have an alternative, they are paying £1500 for a sofa, £1200 for a television, paying over the odds,

and brighthouse's business model is based on that very high annual percentage rate, apr, 70%, often, and that is the problem. sol percentage rate, apr, 70%, often, and that is the problem. so i do not share brighthouse's you, i think they are exploiting vulnerable people. but there are other mid-cost alternative credit providers as michael explained, customers simply need to choose them. michael explained, customers simply need to choose themlj michael explained, customers simply need to choose them. i do not think there is enough of the alternatives and that is why i think what michael is doing is very important because he is trying to use his convening power, bringing people together, to try to get other financiers and people who care about these issues to support some of the credit unions, the not—for—profit alternatives. my constituency experience which is where i based the film is that this can be done at a much... in a sustainable way at a much lower cost. people who cannot afford the money upfront, you can

find ways of lending them the money so that they can buy the cooker, the washing machine, the tv, and pay it back and it does not need to cost than double or three times the amount. a couple of messages, this from... i don't know, but anyway, it is on twitter, they are doing what our government should be doing, campaigning to protect the most vulnerable in our society from extortionate high—cost credit. jamie says, great campaign by michael sheen to end higher cost credit, people get sucked into a spiral and cannot get out while being preyed upon by big business. i will introduce stacey, a mum of five, she has borrowed quite a bit of money over the years, can you hear me? yeah. thank you for coming on the programme. tell us how much you think you have ended up borrowing from some of these companies.

thousands, to be fair. how many, do you know? probably about four, five. what has it been like trying to pay the money back? it is a bit of a struggle but like people say, i borrow it, but it has only been for stuff we need, like washing machines, fridge freezer, if they break, we have not borrowed money like the text message said to get a big 50 inch tv. for you, would you describe it as a positive thing? big 50 inch tv. for you, would you describe it as a positive thing7m has, but if we had a bit more access to credit, but i checked my credit score regularly and my problem is at the minute because i have that much credit out, payments, i pay it all, allup to credit out, payments, i pay it all, all up to date, but because my credit, i have a lot of it, i cannot go and, say, get a loan to

consolidate my credit because they will not let me have it. understood. and what do you think from what you have heard of michael sheen's campaign? i think it is brilliant. there is an alternative to brighthouse. the thing i like about brighthouse, i got two of my children refurbished laptops from them not long ago. we could have got these outright because they did not cost that much, but one reason we did not because of the insurance they give with that, anything happens they —— you can ta ke anything happens they —— you can take it back and they will sort it. which was really good because one of my twins decided to put a whole bottle of lemonade over my daughter's laptop. how much was the insurance? to be fair, i don't actually know. i have it written down. it is only about two or £3 a week, not a huge amount, but it is handy to have. thank you very much for coming on

the programme, stacey booth, mum of five, who has had a positive experience. thank you to ed miliband and michael sheen. before you go, ed miliband, you would expect me to ask you about jeremy corbyn miliband, you would expect me to ask you aboutjeremy corbyn and russia. mr corbyn has given an interview to our colleagues on radio 4 today. i will give you a quote from it if i may. he tells the world at one that the uk must still deal with russia, despite all fingers pointing to it over the salisbury spy attack. is he right? of course we will have to deal with them. i was not in the house of commons when he responded to theresa may but i read his piece he wrote about this. he said the evidence pointed to russia, he backed expelling the diplomats but you need to be calm and level—headed. it is very serious what russia did, very serious indeed and has to be taken incredibly seriously by the british government, of course we will have to deal with

them. did jeremy corbyn misjudge the public mood? i don't think so. he was approaching it in his own way, saying you need to be calm and measured. i think you need calm and measured leaderships. a couple more comments regarding payday loan at rent to own, caven said i bought a corner suite from one when i moved toa corner suite from one when i moved to a new house, paying £100 a month. i lost myjob after 12 months and could not pay, the company took it away and we lost all our money. peter says i'm sure michael sheen has the best intentions but involving himself in competing with established businesses very experienced in risk management is doomed to cost the current backers. helen says michael sheen being brilliant on exploitative credit like brighthouse with ed miliband this morning. it says why is ed miliband saying poor people don't have an alternative, what about credit unions? that is right, but we

need people to know about the credit unions. i spoke to my own credit unions. i spoke to my own credit union this morning and they need more help and support. my credit union is restarting its business, offering people an alternative to brighthouse. we hope it succeeds. but the credit union sector in this country does less well than in others. we need more backing for that from government, the financial conduct authority, it is very complex for credit unions to offer this service. and i think the banks could do a lot more to stand by and support the work of credit unions. thank you very much. still to come... loosing your hair in your 20s and the impact it can have. a 23—year—old woman who wears a wig has been investigating for us. and on the brink of extinction — only 2 white rhinos remain after the world's last male species died, we'll look at what that means for the species. time for the latest news — here's annita.

the bbc news headlines this morning... a british company accused of misusing personal data belonging to 50 million facebook users is being investigated by the information watchdog. the uk's information commissioner says she will seek a warrant to look at databases and servers hosted by cambridge analytica. the firm is accused of using facebook data without consent to influence the outcome of the last us election. both cambridge analytica and facebook deny any wrongdoing. meanwhile cambridge analytica executives have been filmed by channel 4 news suggesting it could use honey traps and potentially bribery to discredit politicians. the company denies any wrongdoing. jeremy corbyn says the uk must still

deal with vladimir putin despite evidence pointing to his country's involvement in the salisbury spy attack. the labour leader said he would do business with russia but assertively and on the basis of uk values. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he believes putin was responsible but mr corbyn said he wanted an absolutely definitive answer about the source of the nerve agent. the former french president nicolas sarkozy is being held in police custody in connection with an investigation into campaignfunding. police are investigating alleged irregularities over the financing of his 2007 presidential campaign. he is being questioned over allegations that he received funding from the late libyan leader colonel gaddafi. that's a summary of

the latest bbc news. we will go straight to paris and speak to hugh schofield. tell us more about the fact that the former french president is being questioned? this investigation goes back many, many years. we're talking about the 2006/7 campaign which led sarkozy to victory, an investigation opened byjudges in 2013. french justice grind exceedingly slow. it has to be said that the fact that sarkozy has to be said that the fact that sa rkozy has has to be said that the fact that sarkozy has been brought in for obligatory questioning and been held for 48 hours by the investigating police in this affair suggests that the magistrates have been honoured for so long and they feel they are getting closer to the nub of the affair. it could end up at the end of the 24, 48—hour period where he has been held, that he will be

placed under a judicial investigation, meaning a probable trial. it is very bad news the nicolas sarkozy. this allegation has swarmed around for years and many of us, myself included, treated with a huge amount of caution. libyan money funding a french presidential election campaign, it sounded far too unlikely to be true. it lends an enormous amount of credence to the very allegation which some people have pushed, they say they have had evidence forfor some evidence for for some years, the idea being that back then sarkozy saidi idea being that back then sarkozy said i have to have a big blitz of a campaign, take french politics to a new level, american—style levels of razzmatazz. he cultivated through various contacts colonel gaddafi and got this money, 50 million euros. into context, if you remember back then, quite shortly after being elected, who did a state visit, a very unusual state visit, parking his tent on the lawn? colonel

gaddafi. there is a lot of murk, pa rt gaddafi. there is a lot of murk, part of the problem has been that lots of the witnesses are by definition almost totally unreliable, which has allowed the sarkozy camp to say the allegations have been put up by people trying to create smoke screens, but if the judges getting closer to the truth and the truth is that money was coming into the sarkozy campaign, it casts a very great shadow over the whole sarkozy legacy. thank you, hugh schofield. jessica has the latest sport. should serena williams‘ world ranking be protected? the tournament director of the miami open, james blake, thinks so and describes the current seeding rules as punishment for women that return to tennis after having a baby. the fallout from england's dismal six nations campaign continues. former england playerjeremy guscott says the team haven't made any progress in the past year. not since 2006 have they lost three matches in a single six nations campaign. england are still waiting on the fitness of all—rounder ben stokes ahead of thursday's first test against new zealand.

the ecb say he's on track to play his first test in six months. craig overton has told the bbc he'll be ready to step in if needed. south africa's kagiso rabada is available to play in south africa's final two tests against australia. the seamer had been banned for bad behaviour in an ill—tempered series but has had the punishment reduced on appeal. that is all your sport, i will be back with a full bulletin atjust after 10am. next, losing your hair when you're young and the impact it can have on you, especially if you're in your 20s. chedira eggerue is 23 and wears a wig to hide her bald patch. she's been talking to other people about their own hairloss for radio 1's newsbeat. it shows some graphic images of hair transplants. hair is a big part of us.

it shows off our style, identity and lets us change up our look. it's the thing that can make us feel beautiful. but we won't all keep our hairforever. some of us are going to lose it. people have always gone bald, and they've tried lots of strange ways to hide it or stop it falling out. but some techniques work better than others. my name is chedira, i'm 23 and most people don't know this is a wig. there a massive bald patch right here, and that's pretty much what i've been hiding underneath this the whole time. my hair loss gets to me. and it's something that obsesses other women and loads of young men too. i'm going to meet others who are losing their hair, and some who are going to extreme lengths to get it back. i'm going only as deep as we need to go, which is where the roots start. i'll find out about my own hair loss, and discover whether you can ever feel good about it. because it doesn't matter how rich and famous you are, you can't hide from hair loss.

when i wear this, it's almost like a hat that's measured to your head. it's got an elastic band. so i wear this and it doesn't disturb my hairline at all. my hairline remains as it is underneath. it's really easy to put on, but also really easy to remove as well. so i'm going to remove it. it looks bad. that's the word i'd use. it looks bad. my definition of bad is just patchy. so patchy and annoying. to a lot of people that doesn't look too bad, they might say. yeah. even to me, on some days, it doesn't look as bad. but then other days it's like, oh my goodness, this is so obvious. so this hairstyle is pretty much what took away my hairline. you can see the extensions are quite thick and heavy. and then, as if that wasn't enough, i went and tied it up into an enormous bun. and what happens is when you have your hair in a heavy bun like that, each time you move your head, the bun sways. so each time that's where it

happens, a bit of hairfalls out. i would never wear my hair upwards or in an afro without covering it. no one sees this. i wouldn't go out on the street — no one on the street sees it like this. i always cover my bald patch when i'm out, by wearing a wig or a hat. but it's not so easy for guys to hide their hair loss. perry is 23, and first started losing his hair when he was a teenager. hello, everyone. my name is perry and this is perry presents. he has male pattern baldness, by far the most common form of hair loss in men. so at times like this, what do you do? so i get my phone. and obviously i will look like a mirror. ok, so you put your phone and camera? yeah. and then i'll check it a bit. and obviously you can see now — really bad, right? yeah. and the wind makes it worse. so i have my brush.

basicallyjust do the same thing again, restyle it. but to be honest with you, in the wind, it's just life. and until i get indoors, that's just the way it is. tidies it up and we'll take another selfie. love it! there you go. speaking about it being just life, how are you preparing yourself for it becoming more and more obvious? i've kind of got to embrace it, but at the same time it is quite scary, because i'm like, will people think differently of me? will it look really bad? do you feel like your hair, to an extent, holds a core part of your sort of personality and who you are? yeah. my hair is me, that's how i feel. my personality, whatever i do on youtube, whatever i do in everyday life, it's always there and it's something that i'm so self—conscious of. if my hair is gone, i feel like i'm becoming someone else, or someone different.

i guess it's a good thing if you are being different. but at the same time it's a worry, because what if someone thinks differently of me? what if someone isn't attracted to me or likes me, or i don't look good, as such? you know what i mean? i can tell perry has thought about his hair loss a lot, and worries about what he will look like in the future. his dad lost his hair when he was young and is now completely bald. in most men it will never grow back. but there are ways to sort it out. i'm in manchester to see a 28—year—old guy who is having a hair transplant today. and i'll be meeting the surgeon who is doing it. i'm really excited to see how this is going to happen. i'm chedira. nice to meet you. jordan started losing his hair when he was 20. and this doctor has been carrying out hair transplants since the 1990s. straighten your shoulders and turn your neck all the way around. you're not particularly bothered about bringing your hairline down, you want to have more density here.

it's going to give you the look that you want. the plan is to take hair from the back ofjordan's head and plant it in the thin areas on top. i'm not going to lie. first impression, i feel like your hair loss is actually not even that bad at all. how do you feel about it? how does it look to you? like you say, it's not too bad. but it's a weird one really. obviously it affects so many men. should it upset you? it wasn't the worst feeling, but also it knocks confidence a little bit as well. someone might look at me and say, you're having a hair transplant, do you really need it? in some cases you might say no. it's how it makes you feel, i guess. jordan's transplant will take all day. the procedure is becoming increasingly popular, but it isn't normally available on the nhs. it can cost anywhere between £1000 and £30,000. the doctor will make small holes in the top ofjordan's head.

he'll then take healthy hairs from the back to plant in the thin areas on top. so i'm going only as deep as we need to go, which is where the roots sit, approximately about four millimetres inside the skin. jordan just looks so chilled out. honestly, it's really painless. they said before that it wouldn't be as bad as the dentist. it definitely isn't. we'll turnjordan over, face down, and then we'll start removing the grafts from the back of his head. and then once we have a certain amount, we then can put them back in, yeah? during the procedure, around 3000 hairs will be inserted in the top ofjordan's head. what's it going to feel like when you finally get up and have a look at your hair? it's a long road to see what is going to be, but good, hopefully. it'll take a long time

to see ifjordan's hair transplant has been a success. but for an idea of what the results might look like, i'm meeting a woman who has had it done already. page had a hair transplant a few months ago. she told her youtube followers all about it. there is like no hair. there's like really, really small strands of hair. her hair loss was down to traction alopecia. it's when your hairstyle creates tension on your scalp. for example, tight braids or corn rows. it's what's caused my own hair loss. my forehead probably started like here. no way — you've got a new forehead! i've got a new forehead. what?! it looks so natural. yeah. where exactly was the initial hair loss? on this side here. as you can see, there are still some hairs. i've kind of like brushed it down. but all on this side. it was literally this whole section up to like my ear. what does it feel like when you look at it and see that is

clearly missing hair? what did it make you feel? do you know what? i felt very like self—conscious but i never told anybody. i never told anybody my insecurities. not a single person knew about it? no one actually knew, you know. i felt like i was the only person in the world going through this, apart from the people on youtube. in the real world. yeah, in this real world, so that's why i never spoke about it. otherwise i would have spoke about it sooner. and i wish i'd spoke about it sooner. i wish i'd spoke about it when it was first happening. i wish i was more open about it. i thought, i'm too young for hair loss. i've just turned 25. i've been experiencing this since college. i'm way too young to be losing my hair. ifeel like i was robbed. and now you've reclaimed it! yeah. your hair, yourface — its beauty, especially to a female. and to guys, yeah, hair is a big thing. i know a lot of females probably only find guys attractive, notjust

because of the hairline, but their hairline is attractive. when a man has got full hair, it's attractive. cutting all my hair and getting a hair transplant, i have so much more confidence. i feel very empowered now. i feel like sharing my story was probably the biggest thing i've ever done, and probably the biggest thing i ever will do. i've got to admit, hair transplants feel quite extreme to me. i've tried looking online for a solution for my bald patch. but it's all very confusing. it looks like there are hundreds of different techniques to try. so it's time to speak to someone who really knows about hair loss. nice to see you. ian is an expert who helps people understand why they are losing their hair. 95% of men, there is, well, not major issues, but there are issues with genetic predisposition. genetic hair loss can be from the male or the female side. it doesn't have to come through the male side

or the female side. so it's non—sex linked. they will come in and they will be looking at hairlines going, this has moved. and yes, from 16 to your mid—20s, your hairline does move. it does change. you get a mature hairline. but then there is change over and above what it should. so if you're starting to become thin there and everything else is normal, that's usually genetic. ian says there are only two medications that can help with hair loss. finasteride and minoxidil. the nhs says women shouldn't use finasteride and neither drug is available on the national health service. so when you start taking this medication, it allows the hair in some cases to respond quite significantly. it may grow hair density back. i've heard though that with medications like minoxidil, once you start using it, you've got to keep using it if you want to keep seeing hair growth. is that true? or can you use itjust once and that it? so you do have to keep taking this medication day after day after day. it's a treadmill medication. so there's no such thing as a one—shot thing that willjust get rid of hair loss.

hair loss can also be caused by stress, weight loss, cancer treatment or an unhealthy diet. in some cases, your immune system can attack your hair follicles. that's what is known as alopecia areata. i first noticed my hair loss when i was about 19. do you want to see what it looks like? sure. this is a wig, and i hide behind this all the time. as you can see, i've got braids, got lots of hair on my head, but there's clearly a lot missing here. this is classed as a diffuse thinning around here. it does look as though the follicles have what's called atrophied, which means some follicles have died off. if you've cared for your hair over a period of time and it hasn't returned, then the likelihood is it's permanent. most people hate hearing that. i didn't want to accept that my hair is not going to grow back. so i've tried all kinds of weird things i came across on the internet. apparently, if you bend all the way

down and massage your head for like a minute in castor oil, it will apparently make your hair grow quicker. it did not work. there is egyptian texts from 2000 bc that are remedies and prayers for hair loss. if there was something natural out there, we would know about it. thank you, ian. i've learned so much. no problem. you know what, hearing that my hair loss is at a permanent stage, i'm not going to lie, it's super disappointing. even though i did know somewhere at the back of my mind that it's not going to grow back. but i really hoped i'd be told that if ijust used this one thing, it would grow back. but now that i know, i guess i've got closure, and what i'm going to do now isjust embrace it and accept it. i've met some really interesting people recently, who all have different ways of dealing with their hair loss. you're in the studio with your full natural hair out, looking amazing.

let's talk about it. a month ago, i would never have even left the house without covering my head, but that's now changed. today i've decided i'm going to come in without a wig on and allow my head to breathe, allow myself to feel worthy. you look amazing. hair loss is a massive deal to people. and since filming this, i've seen people who have hidden it, i've seen people who have treated it, i've seen people who have embraced it. now for me this process has definitely taught me to just accept it. since then i've started going out with my natural hair a lot more often, and learned to make peace with my hair loss. and now ijust feel liberated. and you can watch a full version of radio 1 newsbeat‘s

documentary, too young to go bald, on the bbc iplayer. thank you for your messages. graham says, i lost my hair suddenly at 29, it was alopecia with bald patches appearing on my head, and soon i was com pletely appearing on my head, and soon i was completely bald and eventually her less. i'm 47 now and fine with it but at the time it was very distressing. everything i read about coping with alopecia was written by women and started with the words, it is ok for men. it did not feel ok to me, ifelt like is ok for men. it did not feel ok to me, ifeltlikei is ok for men. it did not feel ok to me, ifelt like i was falling is ok for men. it did not feel ok to me, i felt like i was falling apart. paul says the easiest answer is the number one shave, he says he started

losing his hair at 13. this woman says, iam losing his hair at 13. this woman says, i am in losing his hair at 13. this woman says, iam in my 70s, losing his hair at 13. this woman says, i am in my 70s, just as devastating to lose your hair at that time of life, age matters not. iamso that time of life, age matters not. i am so embarrassed i cannot go out without wearing a hat. we will talk more about this issue in the next hour. send us your own experiences. breaking news on the latest inflation figures. our economics editor is here. remind us what inflation is. it is the increase in prices, what people are spending to buy things in shops and the bills and today quite a significant reduction in the rate of increase, not that prices are falling, inflation was up 3%, the office for national statistics has announced it has gone down to 2.7%. it means prices are rising less quickly than they were. the main reasons of food prices are going up less quickly, fuel prices going up less quickly

than a year fuel prices going up less quickly thana yearago, fuel prices going up less quickly than a year ago, a locked link to the value of the pound because we importa the value of the pound because we import a lot of what we buy, a weak pound after the brexit referendum and the costs went up, the pound has been strengthening, meaning the imports are less expensive and it is feeding through now to people's real lives. good news that prices are not going up as fast as they were. and a report out today again talking about prices but post—brexit from the institute for fiscal studies. they are saying that once britain is out of the customs union, the customs union has import taxes around the border, if we abandon old paris, all the import taxes, that could lead to a small reduction in prices for people, about 1.2%. —— a small reduction in prices for people, about1.2%. —— if we a small reduction in prices for people, about 1.2%. —— if we abandon tariffs. the ifs points out prices have ready by 2% because of the fall in the value of sterling and the cost of doing business with the eu

will be more expensive once we are out of the customs union, so although abandoning import taxes would be good for consumers in a small way, that good will be outweighed by the cost of inflation we have seen since the referendum and the cost of doing business with the eu which is our biggest export partner. thank you very much. the latest news and sport in a moment, before that, the weather. not as cold a start to the day as of late. the forecast is less cold than it has been and for many of us, sunny spells, but also cloud in the forecast, quite a bit at the moment across parts of england and wales, eastern scotland as well, courtesy of the weak weather front drifting steadily west through the day, continuing to weaken, but it will still be thick enough, the cloud, to produce patchy light rain and drizzle. you can see the extent of

the cloud cover, out in the atlantic, a weather front waiting to come our way, that will be later today, producing some rain by the end of tonight. this morning, as the front pushes to the west, it will brighten up behind it, across east anglia, the south—east, southern counties, but also across wales, north—west england, scotland and northern ireland, you can expect some sunshine. temperatures around eight up to ten, if we are lucky. you can already see the cloud thickening across the outer hebrides. this evening and overnight, the weather front proved tee edges in over northern ireland, scotla nd tee edges in over northern ireland, scotland and northern england —— the weather front edges in. scotland and northern england —— the weatherfront edges in. train scotland and northern england —— the weather front edges in. train will arrive by the end of the night. for the rest of england and wales, a cold night and clearer skies. there could be patchy freezing fog and there will also be a widespread frost. these temperatures represent towns and cities. as we head into

wednesday, look how the blues our place to buy yellow, and —— to blues are replaced by yellow. tomorrow, sunshine over england and wales. the weather from producing sunshine over england and wales. the weatherfrom producing cloud ahead of the rain, the rain crossing northern ireland and scotland through the day. 11 in aberdeen, a while since we have seen that. as we move into thursday, the weather front continues to push into the southeast, eventually clearing, a lot of dry weather, sunshine and east hanging on for the longest, because in the west and active weather front is coming our way, heavy rain across northern ireland, scotland, eventually parts of west wales and the south—west. the cloud building ahead of it. look at the temperatures. nine up to 12,

possibly even 13. hello, it's 10 o'clock, i'm victoria derbyshire. welcome to the programme. honey traps, spies and fake news — just some of the dirty tricks cambridge analytica executives boasted of using to swing elections to an undercover reporter. deep digging is interesting, it can be deeply effective to just go and speak to the incumbents and to offer them a deal that is too good to be true and make sure that its video recorded. these sorts of tactics are very effective. instantly having video evidence of corruption, putting it on the internet. the information commissioner will be talking to us about why she's investigating in the next few minutes. should clubbers be given access to drugs testing areas to prevent ecstasy and cocaine—related deaths? what that does is take the very

harmful, dangerous drugs out of the market. at the moment, while drug use is pretty constant, drug deaths are up. hospitalisations are up and there is a huge cost to the nhs we'll ask users whether they think introducing safe testing spots at popular nightspots will work. and we want to hear your thoughts too. and we'll hear about the impact of going bald when you're young from paigey cakey, a rapperfrom north london who was 18 when she first started to notice her hair was falling out. i felt like ifelt like i'm i felt like i'm too young for her loss, i have just i felt like i'm too young for her loss, i havejust turned i felt like i'm too young for her loss, i have just turned 25, i felt like i'm too young for her loss, i havejust turned 25, i have experienced this since college, i am way too young to be losing my hair. good morning. here's annita mcveigh in the bbc newsroom with a summary of today's news. good morning. a british company accused of misusing personal data belonging to 50 million facebook users is being investigated

by the information watchdog. the uk's information commissioner says she will seek a warrant to look at databases and servers hosted by cambridge analytica. the firm is accused of using facebook data without consent to influence the outcome of the last us election. both cambridge analytica and facebook deny any wrongdoing. cambridge analytica executives have also been filmed by channel 4 news suggesting it could use honey traps and potentially bribery to discredit politicians. the company denies any wrongdoing. the government's latest figures show that uk inflation rate has fallen to 2.796 in that uk inflation rate has fallen to 2.7% in february from 3% injanuary. inflation figures are calculated by tracking the prices we pay for hundreds of things we currently spend money one, including groceries. the target for cpi is 2%. consumers could see prices fall by up to 1.2% if britain were to abolish all tariffs once it has left the european union. the findings are in a report by the financial

think tank the institute for fiscal studies. but the independent report also warns that any gains would be small and that costs linked to new eu trade barriers could hit consumers. jeremy corbyn has said the uk must still deal with vladimir putin — despite evidence pointing to his country's involvement in the salisbury spy attack. the labour leader said he would do business with russia, but assertively and on the basis of the uk's values. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says he believes mr putin was responsible. but mr corbyn said he wanted an absolutely definitive answer about the source of the nerve agent. that's a summary of the latest bbc news. more at 10.30am. one viewer on twitter says about hair loss, one viewer on twitter says about hairloss, i one viewer on twitter says about hair loss, i lost huge amounts of hair loss, i lost huge amounts of hairduring my hair loss, i lost huge amounts of hair during my battle with anorexia. it is such an alienating effect. i was lucky enough for it to grow back and one of the things that really

aided its regrowth was caffeinated shampoo. christopher arnie mel says i lost a lot of hair at a very young age. i was 11. a condition which was a variant of alopecia. it was very distressing because i wasjust coming into adolescence and was very proud of my bright auburn hair. it came back within four months. peter on e—mail, baldness, just live with it, only shallow people worry about it. i wonder if you are bald or have a full head of hair. julie says i don't doubt the effect it has personally but i think of cancer patients who go through hair loss and so much worse as treatment for the cruel disease and i can't help but think it is not so worse when it happens gradually and naturally, often pa rt when it happens gradually and naturally, often part of yourjeans. —— genes. do get in touch with us throughout the morning — use the hashtag #victorialive. if you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate. here's some sport now withjessica. thank you, victoria.

a former top tennis player has described the seeding rules in women's tennis as "punishment" for players like serena williams who return to the sport after having a baby. williams ranking dropped from world number one to 491 during her 13 months maternity leave. due to her low ranking, she will play a tougher opponent james blake, the director of the miami open, say she leads be protected. due to her low ranking, she will play a tougher opponent earlier on in a tournament, rather than in the latter stages, making it more difficult for her to win. the women's tennis association said recently they are "very supportive of those players returning from pregnancy," and the rules will be "further reviewed." also in miami is roger federer — he could lose his world number one ranking if he fails to reach the quarterfinals. he says he will continue his strategy of being selective over which tournaments he plays.

the 36—year—old missed much of the clay court season last year to preserve his longevity but has been in fine form in 2018, only losing his first match on sunday. maybe our generation of tennis is much more taxing and more intense, more brutal and all that stuff. i don't know how much more i have lasted me but i am enjoying my time right now at the top, i can't believe i am back to world number one. i havejust had another fabulous start to the year. we will see what the year brings but i need to be selective in which tournaments ican and to be selective in which tournaments i can and should play. many more yea rs left in i can and should play. many more years left in him, we hope. meanwhile, already in miami, britons katie boulter, liam broady and cameron norrie all won in the first round of qualifying but naomi broady lost. cricket and ben stokes has taken full pa rt cricket and ben stokes has taken full part in training for the first test against new zealand on friday.

the england all—rounder was unable to bowl in the warm up and hamilton because of its stiff back then was restricted by rain to training indoors on monday. craig overton could be called up if stokes is not fit. it be an interesting couple of days, ijust had to put in the preparation to be ready for the first game of the call—up comes. iam fit, the call—up comes. i am fit, i missed two days with a sore quad, it was just unfortunate. i played the last few days and it has been really good since then. south african back row uzair cassiem will join pro 14 champion scarlets for next season. with scotland captainjohn barclay leaving to join edinburgh, the llanelli—based side have acted quickly to bring in the cheetah's number eight. head coach wayne pivac has described him as a "very physical individual." that is all the sport for now, headlines at 10:30am. planting fake news, spying on rivals, hiring "beautiful ukranian girls" to set a honey trap — just a few of the things the boss of the world's most controversial

election campaign consultants talked about when filmed talking to a possible client who was, in reality, a channel 4 news undercover reporter. this comes a day after claims that that company, london based cambridge analytica, had used the private data of 50 million people without their permission in order to influence the us presidential election in favour of donald trump. and not just 50 and notjust 50 million people, 50 million facebook users. last night alexander nix, the firm's chief executive, told newsnight they'd been targeted simply because of their role in the us election. we see this as a coordinated attack by the media that has been going on for very many months in order to damage the company that had some involvement with the election of donald trump. we maybe undertook this meeting and

spoke with a certain amount of hyperbole about some of the things that we do, but what we were trying to do was to elicit from the undercover reporter the true intentions of the meeting. these meetings started out as very bona fides philanthropic requests for services to help in the country of sri lanka, to help make it a better country and to help spread the wealth through projects of information technology and health care. by the time ijoined the meetings the undercover reporter pivoted them search that he was asking us about entrapping political officials, the use of honey traps and all sorts of other behaviour. the information commissioner, elizabeth denham, is now applying for a warrant to search the offices of cambridge analytica. shejoins us now from cheshire. and in southampton is dr victoria baines — who until november last year

was facebook‘s trust and safety manager for europe. she is now a visiting fellow at oxford internet institute. thank you both for talking to us. elizabeth denham, you are having to apply for a warrant because you are not able to access cambridge analytica's offices yesterday? that is correct. the allegations about the use of facebook data is one strand of a broader investigation that our office is doing into use of personal data for elections and campaigns. we are unable to get cooperation from cambridge analytica. we need to get to the bottom of what happened with this personal data affecting citizens across the world and we are going to proceed with a warrant to be able to search the servers and premises. why wouldn't they let you win? that is a

question you should ask cambridge analytica. why do you think? we are using all the tools. again, a question for them. we need to get in to find out on behalf of the public what has happened to this data. it is controversial because there are many statements, contradictory statements, about who had the data, how long they had it, whether it was deleted. because cambridge analytica operates in the uk they are subject to uk data protection law, which we oversee. do you think it is too late applying for this warrant, because it will ta ke for this warrant, because it will take time? cambridge analytica already know you want to get into their premises to search the property at their servers and facebook have already been in? facebook have already been in? facebook started as search last night at our request. they withdrew

their contractors at our request. we need to get in there. we are looking at facebook and their conduct in whether or not data was properly secured on the platforms. sorry to interrupt but it is possible that potential evidence you want to see has already been tampered with? we don't know. again, we need to get in... but it is possible? we are going through the process, it is possible. we are using all the tools available to be able to investigate this issue on behalf of uk citizens. i spoke earlier to labour's liam byrne, the shadow digital minister. he is concerned about your powers. my number one concern is i don't think the information commissioner has the power to do the investigation. we've described this new online

world as the wild west and what we have is a sheriff without the tools to do the job. the fact that she has to go to court in order to get a warrant, basically gives companies like cambridge analytica loads and loads of notice which they can use to do all kind of things — destroy all kinds of data, hide all kind of records that might be needed. so the reality is we now need to give the information commissioner something like a digital search warrant that allows her to go in very quickly to get the evidence she needs to bring prosecution where they are needed. you are like a sherrock without the tools to do the job. how likely is it that evidence will have been tampered with? that is a question we are seeking to answer. you used to work for facebook, you were their trust and safety manager for europe, facebook

says they have done nothing wrong, have they? good morning. well, i am not sited on the specifics of this particular case from facebook's perspective, but i can tell you certainly large tech companies like facebook and google, they take their role as data guardians, protectors of people's data, very seriously. do they really? if that is true... they do, yes. how come the personal information of up to 50 million users has ended up being potentially used by a company that did not pay for it to influence the us presidential election?” for it to influence the us presidential election? i think this isa presidential election? i think this is a really important point. let us unpack this. from the information that has been released publicly, what appears to have happened is that people have shared their data voluntarily with aaron app and that

is not with facebook, with a third—party —— with the app. from what we appear to know by now, that data has been misused, used for a purpose not originally intended and not communicated with the people who signed up it. and i think it is really important to raise this awareness because people do not always know when they sign up for these apps that they should be checking the data use policies. we have new legislation coming in in the next few months that the commissioner will be fully aware of, the general data protection regulation, and what it will do is make companies much more responsible for the data they hold and also communicating to people what they are doing with it. they will be required to communicate that much more clearly. companies like large social media sites, they have been investing a lot of time and effort into updating their data use policies and communicating that to

people. what concerns me... companies like cambridge analytica, smaller companies, they might not be as compliant with the law and obviously that is a matter for the commissioner. this app, the people using it, they agree their data can be collected, then the app collected the data of their facebook friends, potentially how they got data of up to 50 million people, facebook allows the collection of friends' data to quote user experience although it sounds it from being sold or used for advertising. should it ban the collection of data of friends? that is quite an interesting ethical question. what would you say? facebook allows the collection of the data to improve its own services, the bbc will be using that data to improve its news offering per facebook users and their friends, there are some perfectly legitimate reasons why

that might be done. you could ask, do we need to get more granular, down into the weeds, about what it is used for and for what purpose, how long it is stored? that is what the new legislation is about. but what i would encourage people to do who are on facebook and other social media sites, have a look at the policies. they are communicated in quite clear language, i think. policies. they are communicated in quite clear language, ithink. but also go to the information commissioner's office, the website, they state the rights in relation to your personal data. if you are checking the app, if you are invited to take part in a psychology test, you would not hand that data over to somebody in the street, if they asked you for your name, location, date of birth. take a step back and think, does this feel legitimate, does it smell right? if it does not smell right, it isn't. information

commissioner, now applying for a warrant to search the offices of cambridge analytica, you said he was seeking to find the answer to whether evidence could have potentially been tampered with, how likely do you think that is? we will have to see, if we get into the premises, and we have forensic experts that will be able to search the servers and we have a blueprint of the data on the servers. that will help us. but what is getting lost in this discussion is the basic point that the new data protection rules that are coming in in may will give people more rights and companies will have more responsibilities to take care of people's data. and we need to ensure that they understand how data is used and that this is not buried, the notifications, in terms of

service so the law requires clear unambiguous consent for the sharing of data, the law also gives powers for us to prosecute individuals and organisations that have played fast and loose with people's personal information. and our office is here to oversee that. it is retrospective or does it come in in may? in may, i will have powers of inspection which means knock on the door and go in. there are more significant fines for getting this wrong against organisations. mandatory data breach notification, all of these tools are really helpful for users, it is for individuals, for consumers. thank you very much for your time. the information commissioner. and victoria, who until last year was facebook's trust manager for europe and she is now a visiting fellow at the oxford institute. still to come... police are asking

the public to become counterterrorism citizens. we will talk to people who have already done that. the world's last surviving male northern white rhino has died, bringing the species to the brink of extiction. sudan, who lived in kenya, was put to sleep on monday after age—related complications worsened. last year the bbc ran a documentary about sudan and the battle to save his species. here's an extract — you can see him alongside zachary mutai, his keeper of eight years. i'm just applying mud on his body. this helps to cool his body temperature down. he loves that. we really take great care of him, just like elderly people. he's doing fine. but anything might happen at any time. this is very serious.

something needs to be done. i'm nowjoined in the studio by richard vine, who runs the ol pejeta conservancy in kenya, where sudan lived. and via webcam we can speak to colin butfield from the wwf. tell us first of all about sudan and why the news of his death is so significant. sudan was the last remaining northern white rhino, male, left on the planet. for that reason, his death is significant. for a long time now, there have only been three left of that particular species, some people argue it is a subspecies, but that is inconsequential in many ways. this

species has been hunted to extinction and the chances of recovering the species are mote, although possibilities through so—called artificial reproductive techniques still exist —— remote. it isa techniques still exist —— remote. it is a sad moment, he has been with us for eight years. he has become a good friend. he was very old, it was inevitable sooner or later this day would come. you say he had become a good friend, what do you mean? he had been in captivity since the late 70s, he was captured in the sudan. at the time, they were capturing rhinos for circuses and he ended up in a zoo in the czech republic so he is very acquainted with human beings and he was very... he was incredibly patient, incredibly docile, full of character, and easily approachable by human beings. his keepers particularly who had lived with him for the period he was with us, they treated him as a kind of family pet,

as did we all on the conservancy. we had got to know him as an individual. how old was he? when he died, he was 45. is there a rino yea rs died, he was 45. is there a rino years equivalent? —— rhino. we like to say he had reached the age of 100. whether that is true, i am not sure, definitely very old individual. and he was sick at the end. yeah comedy was coming down with lots of —— yeah, he was coming down with lots of age—related illnesses, he had stopped feeding, recumbent, not good for a large animal, he was suffering, and that is why we took the decision to utilise him. that is one heck of a decision. it is. -- to euthanise him. you have to put it into context. functionally, from a

reproductive perspective, he had become irrelevant over the past five yea rs, become irrelevant over the past five years, just because of his age. luckily, we have plenty of... we have stored northern white rhino seaman. the future of the species is incredibly dire but the fact we have it and we have two females left, it means theoretically in vitro fertilisation to recover the species as possible. it is really complex, really expensive, really difficult, but theoretically, it is possible. wow, theoretically possible. presumably that is something you would like to see? yes, absolutely. obviously, it needs to run in parallel to making sure there was enough habitat available and the poaching crisis, but we would like to see both running in parallel. as was said, we have been facing a

decline in most rhino species across the world, subspecies ofjavan rhino in vietnam in 2011, a sad day today, almost certainly the last of the northern white rhino. it is only the southern white rhino and black rhino, relatively stable populations, but we are losing three a day on average to poachers, a big context we need to tackle. i wish richard and his team every success. the poaching happens because of what, where is the demand coming from and for what parts of the rhino? overwhelmingly the rhino horn. it is essentially made of the same stuff as our hair, but it is believed to have properties of value. it is primarily demand for horn, it is illegal wildlife trade, ona horn, it is illegal wildlife trade, on a massive scale and people do not realise, it is on the scale of drugs and guns, big criminal scale, not

small—scale poaching at all, big money, a big problem, needs major law enforcement. it is demand in east asia primarily. who could find rhino ivf theoretically? it was for you, you from the wwf, you are incredibly popular around the world, you would receive donations? our work is mostly concentrated where we are experts, in reducing the trade, greater policing, protected areas for the rhino tried anti—poaching patrols, working with communities, it is not particularly our area of expertise, but... who potentially could fund rhino ivf, richard? interesting question. as your guest is saying, conservation as a whole costs a n is saying, conservation as a whole costs an extraordinary amount of money, the conservation of rhinos in particular, the biggest black rhino

sanctuary in east africa, we have over 100, making as a key population, there are only nine left in africa, we are really important conservation area for rhinos, but we have to spend an inordinate amount of money on security to safeguard the populations, somewhere in the region of $2.5 million per year on security to protect the rhinos. finding money in addition to that to develop ivf to recover the northern white rhino is inevitably going to be difficult but it is a charismatic species. increasingly i am seeing around the world people are sick and tired of the rate of extinction that has been witnessed, as we speak, on this planet. hopefully there comes a time where we can draw a line in the sand and people get behind courses like this. let us hope it is in our lifetime. thank you very much for coming on the programme. police chiefs are asking members of the public to act as "counter terrorism citizens" to help stop deadly terror plots.

police say information from the community is crucial to confronting the unprecedented terror threat, with more than 6,000 tip—offs yielding useful intelligence last year. so, if you witnessed suspicious behaviour, would you feel confident reporting it to the police? we can speak to mak chisty, former commander for engagement with the met police, sajda mughal, a survivor of the 7/7 terror attack in london who now works with muslim women to educate them on identifying signs of radicalization in children, and from calgary in canada, christianne boudreau. christianne's son became radicalized and flew to syria in 2012. he was killed soon after, and christianne now campaigns against online radicalisation propaganda. welcome to you all and thank you for your patience. mak, a fifth of reports from the public producing

intelligence, the uk counterterrorism police and tells us, which is helpful to them. what do you think of this further call to action? i think it is absolutely necessary. there has always been cooperation between the public and security services and the police. at no point in time before is it ever more needed than now. the dispersed nature of terrorism is right across the piece. what we are really asking for, police are asking for, if any information of whatever value you may think it may be, too reported to encourage people. sajda? ithink it isa encourage people. sajda? ithink it is a good initiative which is needed, however i do not want us to be complacent in terms of being reliant on this initiative to defeat terrorism. i don't think there was a suggestion it isjust terrorism. i don't think there was a suggestion it is just this. terrorism. i don't think there was a suggestion it isjust this. ok. but the police say, for example, they

ten islamist plots and four right—wing terror plots in 2017 which would not have been possible without relevant information. which would not have been possible without relevant informationm would not have been possible if we had not had that from members of the public. but what i would like to see happen is to go out and educate members of the public about the signs, educate them with the very specific signs. i would hope the marketing, posters, leaflets or whatever that go out, or the tv adverts, are very specific in terms of what they tell members of the public. i do not want this in any way to whip up hysteria. only yesterday in the guardian and article came out in terms of nhs workers reporting patients who said they were going on pilgrimage. i do not want that type of approach, in effect that could create tensions with communities, specifically the muslim community. a good initiative but i want is to be very specific in the marketing campaign. the quote says if you see or hear something unusual or suspicious, trust your instincts. which, mak, if you don't

like the look of somebody, you report them?! i have a slightly different view to sajda in relation to being specific. i don't think you can be. the plotted attacks we have dealt with have had a different dynamic. we do not want to consign people to a specific set. if you feel something is disturbing not quite right, police are saying to report it. do not feel you are wasting time, that you will feel silly, report it in. 30,000 last year, 6000 of which were actionable, thatis year, 6000 of which were actionable, that is real credit to public. so most tip—offs were not useful. let me bring in christianne. you will have been asked this so many times, thank you for talking to us and for your patience, tell our audience if your patience, tell our audience if you picked up any signs about your son before he flew to syria? changes in views, attitude, behaviour? a group absolutely. at the time back

in canada we had not heard too much about the war in syria, we heard a lot about extremism but we are not educated about it. i did not recognise it but i recognised a shift. back then they had a lot more clear definitions as far as signs for this type of extremism, now it has gone underground. what we try to do when working with parents is say when it is somebody very close to you, a loved one, you will pick up on those changes of behaviour, personality, even. they starts occluding themselves from their regular circle of friends, start shifting, coming away from the everyday norms of their lifestyle and start having arguments and stronger views about certain points of view. you can feel it in your gut. you can feel it in your gut. did you report your son to the authorities? yeah, like i said before, there was no way of me understand what was happening. i

could see a change, i did not know if it was depression again, some kind of extreme views and he was going to settle because of his new religion, we see that in born—again christians when they go in full force. where was i going to report it? there was nobody to talk to, not a safe environment to talk to somebody, nobody i could reach out to. thank you very much for your time, we appreciate your patience. thank you. clubbers should be given access to places to test their drugs in uk towns and cities, especially at night, to see what's in them and how safe they are to take. campaign group the loop says deaths related to ecstasy and cocaine are at a record high. it believes if people are able to test their drugs, the amount of drugs laced with potentially lethal products will be reduced, which will in turn reduce the number of hospital admissions. so, should clubs and pubs introduce drug testing areas? or will it, as critics argue, simply encourage people to take

illegal drugs? really keen to hear from you this morning. earlier, we spoke to labour mp jeff smith, who co—chairs the group of mps who've written a report, the all—party parliamentary group on drug policy reform. simpa carter is a recreational drug user and is in newcastle for us this morning. david jamieson is the west midlands police and crime commissioner, who this summer will introduce drug testing in nightspots across his patch, and fiona measham, professor of criminology at durham university and the director of the loop, who currently set up testing centers at uk festivals. —— testing centres. we asked jeff smith what needs to change. well, we have a situation where the night—time economy is very important in this country. we have thousands of people going out tonight and venues, of people going out tonight and venues, many of people going out tonight and venues, many of whom use drugs. we

had to accept that as a reality. what this report is about is reducing the harm related to that consumption. it is a suite of proposals and the great thing about them as they can all be implemented without changing the law. one of the lustre matic proposals is you are suggesting that then use in towns and cities across the lad should test drugs on the spot —— one of the most dramatic proposals. we suggest professional drug testing in city centres and in venues possibly, which has very successfully been done by the loop in this country and it has been successful in other countries. it takes the very harmful, dangerous drugs out of the market. while drug use is pretty co nsta nt, market. while drug use is pretty constant, at the moment drug deaths are up, hospitalisations are up and there is a huge cost to the nhs and police. would you say this is urgent? getting more urgent. it is a growing trend in something we need

to address. director of the loop, fiona measham, currently set up testing centres that uk music festivals. how successful is that and how do you measure success? we have looked at a number of indicators, whether people are being mis—sold drugs, whether there are dangerous contaminants circulating on site and weather when people hear the test results they dispose of the drugs themselves or give us the drugs themselves or give us the drugs to be disposed of by police. about one in five give over drugs for disposal or destruction because they do not want to take them when they do not want to take them when they find out what is in them. only one in five? about and about another half of the others take a smaller amount. we have the highest drug—related death rate on record, partly relating to high purity, it is very good if we can get people to ta ke is very good if we can get people to take smaller amounts. 100% of the people we see had previously planned on taking back drug, so we can only reduce that figure. ok. is this

condoning drug use? it is not condoning drug use? it is not condoning or promoting, it is trying to ta ke condoning or promoting, it is trying to take the harm out of it, accepting it is a reality but we need to save lives. simpa, you use drugs regularly. would you like to see the drugs you are about to take tested first? i wouldn't highly. i took advantage of fiona's the loop ata took advantage of fiona's the loop at a festival last year. as fiona said, people took less or were more cautious of consumer product. —— i would, entirely. does it ever feel like it was complicit in your illegal drug—taking?” like it was complicit in your illegal drug-taking? i was going to anyway. i have the sovereignty of my consciousness, i am an adult, it is the law. prohibition is the problem. these substances are relatively safe themselves. when they are covered

with adult rents and nefarious individuals are trying to profit, of course they would use pma instead of ecstasy, concrete dust and cocaine. that is why we need a regulated market. i applaud this avid but i think it is the first step of a journey of a thousand. we are joined by the police and crime commissioner for the west midlands, you are doing this this summer, why? because we wa nt to this this summer, why? because we want to prevent harm to people, the police's job is to want to prevent harm to people, the police'sjob is to keep people want to prevent harm to people, the police's job is to keep people safe. we wa nt police's job is to keep people safe. we want the night—time economy to work well and we want people to enjoy festivals. this provides the police with extra assistance in bblice “maw- out. getting bblice “maw- out substances the w—fi

- at an alternatizfe method of looking at an alternative method. the report that i brought out last month has been well received, i have to say, by government ministers, including the home secretary and the minister for the department of the home office that i spoke to last week. what did the home secretary, amber rudd, say? that we have produced an excellent

report. some parts of it are controversial but there was no mention of this particular part, which i think is a pragmatic, sensible way of helping young people keep safe. jeff smith, do you think this testing will be rolled out to other areas across the country?” hope so. we should notjust focus on the testing, this is a suite of measures. it is an information campaign so clubbers know what they are getting, it is a number of measures that, combined, will reduce harm in the night—time economy and protect people. we will see what happens. your experience is welcome. working dads should be given 12 weeks paternity leave in the first year of a baby's life, with two weeks paterntity leave paid at 90% of their salary. that's the verdict of mps who say britain must radically reform parental leave to encourage more fathers to take time off work, or it will never get to grips with the gender pay gap. conservative mp and chair of parliament's equalities committee who brought this report out this

morning, maria miller, is with us now. and sarah morris, chief people officer at aviva, they currently offer equal paid parental leave to both male and female staff. adam gretton and his daughter, florence, who is nearly two. adam also has a five—year—old son, oscar. and we have martin leay and rachael cox, and their baby, john, who is six months old today. martin and rachael are currently both on shared parental leave. thank you all very much for coming on the programme, i want to talk about the cost and the changing culture that might be needed. paternity leave for dads which would be 90% of their salary for two weeks and a separate 12 weeks parental leave in the first year of the child's life, how much would it cost and who would pay for it? we are

putting forward the first proposal which is two weeks at 90% which we believe is going to help more dads to ta ke believe is going to help more dads to take that, it will be paid for by the government and employers, and the government and employers, and the same for the 12 weeks, more of a recommendation to government as part of the review. it is a cost we have to ta ke of the review. it is a cost we have to take on because if we don't... we know that 50% of dads are looking to down trade theirjobs, and at a time when we have a skills shortage, that is something that would affect productivity of the country. to tackle the gender pay gap, one of this government's flagship policies, if we do not help dads to get the balance right, we will never achieve that. yes, it is an expensive policy but i do not think the country has any option other than to move towards it. your company already

pretty much does this. why? we made the decision to do it at the end of la st the decision to do it at the end of last year. it is about levelling the playing field. we did not like the idea men and women had to choose who to have time—out. by some men choosing to take time out, some women choose to come back to work on getting women to return to work is important, it is about choice, we are notjudging important, it is about choice, we are not judging anybody, important, it is about choice, we are notjudging anybody, but it is enabling choice for men and women. adam and florence, what do you think of the suggestions today?” adam and florence, what do you think of the suggestions today? i think they are really good ideas. i think it definitely is needed. at the minute, there are a lot of dads who wa nt minute, there are a lot of dads who want to take parental leave and they cannot afford to. i took three months off with florence but that was unpaid leave, basically. what is being proposed today is really promising. i think more dads will ta ke promising. i think more dads will take it up. but i think more could be done to help working parents. take it up. but i think more could be done to help working parentsfi is definitely a good step forward.

martin and rachael, you are enjoying your time off together, i assume? we are, thank you. joni is a bit tired and hungry at the moment, on good form earlier this morning. we all are, don't worry! what do you think of this idea of dads having 12 weeks pa rental leave of this idea of dads having 12 weeks parental leave in the first year of a baby's parental leave in the first year of a ba by‘s life? parental leave in the first year of a baby's life? i think it is a fantastic idea, similar to adam, i have taken fantastic idea, similar to adam, i have ta ken about fantastic idea, similar to adam, i have taken about three months myself, but it was unpaid, i get the statutory shed parental pay which i have taken from my wife. if it was more a matter of course that men can do this, that is only a positive thing forfamilies do this, that is only a positive thing for families and for the development of children, particularly at such an early age. what about you, rachael? i am dying to know who you have given her to. she has gone to her nana. why has it

been important for you, having your ba by‘s been important for you, having your baby's father been important for you, having your ba by‘s father there? been important for you, having your baby's father there?” been important for you, having your baby's father there? i think those first few months with the baby are so hard on the month. they are obviously wonderful, precious times, but it is so difficult, sleep deprivation. —— on the modem. iwas so grateful to know i would have martin with me after the first three months so that we could do it together. the one thing for mothers thatis together. the one thing for mothers that is really difficult at the minute is that in order for your partner to take this leave, you have to sacrifice your only. that means for me i am going back at nine months, i cannot take the full 12 months. progress in that area would be really positive. maria miller, the government admitted to your inquiry it is the flagship shed pa rental leave inquiry it is the flagship shed parental leave skin, it is not meeting its objectives. the

government will make some important reforms. the inquiry report today suggests 12 weeks stand—alone use it or use it leave for dads which in other countries has helped change the culture not only amongst employers who take it more seriously and do not see it as a detriment to someone's career to take dad leave, but for dads to have the right as well and not take time away from them on spending time with her child, as we havejust them on spending time with her child, as we have just heard. them on spending time with her child, as we havejust heard. —— time away from mothers. you will have a brilliant time. thank you, adam, martin, rachael, joni, florence. it sounds obvious, but hair is really important to us, our self image and self esteem. it tells us about our identity and personal style and perhaps especially so for young adults. so losing your hair in your 20s can be devastating. chedira eggerue is 23 and wears a wig to cover her bald patch.

she's been to meet other young people who are losing their hair for radio1 newsbeat. we brought you her full report earlier. here's a short extract. it shows some graphic images of hair transplants. i always cover my bald patch when i'm out by wearing a wig or a hat. but it's not so easy for guys to hide their loss. perry is 23, and first started losing his hair when he was a teenager. hello, everyone. my name is perry and this is perry presents. he has male pattern baldness — by far the most common form of hair loss in men. so at times like this, what do you do? so i get my phone. and obviously i will look like a mirror. ok, so you put your phone on camera? yeah. and then i'll check it a bit. and obviously you can see now — really bad, right? yeah. and the wind makes it worse. so i have my brush.

basicallyjust do the same thing again, restyle it. but to be honest with you, in the wind, it's just life. and until i get indoors, that's just the way it is. tidies it up and we'll take another selfie. you can watch a full version of too young to go bald on bbc iplayer. we can speak now to perry o'bree, a 23—year—old vlogger who you saw in the film there, paigey cakey, a rapper who got a hair transplant after losing some of her hair, and dr greg williams, the president of the british association of hair restoration surgery who are warning there isn't enough regulation of the hair transplant industry. thank you all very much for coming on the programme. good to see you. perry, what is it like? i first started losing my hair at university and there was a lot of pressure, you go on lots of nights out, i was about 20, 21, basically, the peak of

party, and i started to notice a tiny hole in my hair and you think, my goodness, and of the world, you start to question yourself, your confidence. but the more i talk about, the better i feel —— end of the world. why is the better you feel? i kept it in for so long, i hid it through college, it isjust talking about it now, a huge weight off my shoulder, it was like a massive life, living with it for years. every time i talk about it, i feel amazing. keeping it quiet and not confronting it, if you like, it was a burden? eating you up inside. i found the best thing to start off with was talking to your best friends, the people who support you the most, your friends, friends, the people who support you the most, yourfriends, family, and slowly talking to more people about it until you feel that you can walk

the street happily and not worry about your hair. i am constantly playing with it. while i have got it, i will keep it that way. i love my hair, it is part of me. the biggest thing is you feel you might lose pa rt of biggest thing is you feel you might lose part of you, your personality, and there is a lot of pressure with social media and instagram for us to look good. people tend to assume that hair can be part of it but through doing this documentary and talking to different people, i have learnt it is not always... you do not always have to have hair to look good. he will often ask, is it worse for a woman. how do you answer that, paigey? in a sense, it is worse for a female because hair is kind of beauty, for a woman, you love your hair, you love your make—up commie field that is what makes you you and beautiful. losing my hair, i did not feel beautiful, i felt very insecure andl

feel beautiful, i felt very insecure and i felt like i was way too young to lose my hair, it was the insecurity i saw every day and i did not have a lot of confidence. i was looking in the mirror thinking, not have a lot of confidence. i was looking in the mirrorthinking, i not have a lot of confidence. i was looking in the mirrorthinking, lam too young. little hairstyles, friends putting their hair in a barn, idid friends putting their hair in a barn, i did not have any hair on the sides, i could not do that, it was horrible —— in a bun. sides, i could not do that, it was horrible -- in a bun. what do you say to people who say, it is just superficial, what is the problem? say to people who say, it is just superficial, what is the problem7m isa superficial, what is the problem7m is a big thing and as you were saying, it does feel like my personality. losing my hair, iwas losing my personality, who i was. personality. losing my hair, iwas losing my personality, who i wasm is part of you, isn't it? let me read some messages before i bring in greg. slow tablet! i will talk to greg while it sorts itself out. what was your worry? if you can believe it, the law is very vague in the uk

as to who can practice medicine and surgery. it happens in cosmetic surgery, i can believe it. it is a form of cosmetic surgery and animals have more protection in veterinary medicine laws than humans with cosmetic surgery and hair transplant surgery. it is very vague who can do it, and it is becoming increasingly popular and there are a lot of websites offering it trying to entice patients, a lot of misleading information. we need some statutory regulation about who can practice hair transplant surgery and what can be advertised. i will come back to that. messages, and he says, i'm a dj, 53, no less stressed to be losing my hair than anyone younger. i had losing my hair than anyone younger. ihada losing my hair than anyone younger. i had a hair transplant in october last year and it looks much better. less hair means less work on this scene. tony says, i began losing head in my late 30s and it has now gone, head in my late 30s and it has now o head in my late 30s and it has now gone, we can send men to the moon

and bring them back, we can transplant faces but we cannot cure a bald head. liz says, she lost her hair after pulling it out was suffering from severe stress because of being abused as a child, she says she has spent her whole life in therapy and only last week confessed it to her doctor, she now has a bald patch three inches across and my abuser got away with it. my hair is so embarrassing and it has ruined my self—confidence. i am so embarrassing and it has ruined my self—confidence. iam now so embarrassing and it has ruined my self—confidence. i am now bald and 56 years of age. sad to hear someone being so bothered about hair loss, saying it is shallow, i wonder whether they have a full head of hair? cosmetic surgery, reputable cosmetic surgeons, they have been trying for years to get statutory regulations, that has not happened, is there much chance of anybody listening to you, i do not mean that rudely? you know what i mean!” think you are right, the answer is
