stories i mentioned on the bbc sport website, bbc .co .uk/ sport. more for you in the next hour. studio: thank you, jessica. let's take a look at some of the main stories. the information commissioner is seeking a warrant to search the offices of the london—based political consulting firm, cambridge analytica. the company is accused of using the personal data of 50 million facebook members to influence the us presidential election in 2016. victoria derbyshire spoke to the information commissioner and doctor victoria baines, facebook‘s trust and safety manager for europe until late last year. she asked elizabeth denham about her wish to search the offices of cambridge analytica. the allegations about the use of facebook data is one strand of a broader investigation our office is

doing into the use of personal data for elections and campaigns. but we we re for elections and campaigns. but we were not able 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. we are going to proceed with a warrant to be able to search the servers and the premises. why did they not let you win? -- let you in? that is a question for cambridge analytica. we are using all the powers and tools... again, ithink are using all the powers and tools... again, i think it is a question for them. we need to find out on the half of the public what is happening to the data. it is controversial because there are many statements, contradictory, about who had the data, how long they have the data and if it was deleted and because cambridge analytica was operating in the uk, they are

subject to uk data protection law and we oversee that law. do you think it is too late applying for the warrant because that will take time? cambridge analytica already know you want to get into their premises to search the property and their servers and facebook have already been in there. facebook started a search last night at our request and they withdrew their contractors. we need to get in there and we are also looking at facebook and their combat in whether or not data was properly secured on their platform. -- their conduct. sorry to interrupt but it is possible potential evidence you want to see has been already tampered with. we don't know. but it is possible. we are going through the process right now of getting a warrant. it is possible. we are using all the tools we have available, the legal tools,

to investigate this issue on behalf of uk citizens. let me bring in doctor victoria baines. you used to work for facebook as trust and safety manager for europe. facebook say they have done nothing wrong. have they? i am not sited on the specifics of this particular case from facebook. but i can tell you certainly large tech companies like facebook and google take their role as data guardians, protectors of data, very seriously. do they really? 0k, data, very seriously. do they really? ok, if that is true, how come the personal information of up to 50 million users as ended up being potentially used by a company that did not pay for it to influence aus that did not pay for it to influence a us presidential election?” that did not pay for it to influence a us presidential election? i think this is a really important point. let's arm pack this a little bit. from what we know from information

released publicly, what appears to have happened is people have shared data voluntarily with an application. not with facebook, but a third party. from what we appear to know by now, that data has been abused, used for a purpose that was not originally intended and was not communicated with the people who signed up for it. i think it is really important to raise the awareness because people do not always know when they sign up for these apps that they should be checking the data use policies and we have new legislation coming in in the next few months which the commission will be aware of, called the general data protection regulation. that is going to make companies much more responsible for the data they hold and also communicating to people what they are doing with it. they are going to be required to communicate much more clearly. companies like large social

media sites have been investing a lot of time and effort into updating their data usage policies and communicating that to people. doctor victoria baines, who used to work for facebook until late last year and also the uk information commissioner, elizabeth denham. more about this story after two o'clock. the culture committee is hearing from bbc presenters about pay at the corporation. this part of the committee's inquiry is focusing on the use of personal service companies. the corporation says use of psc‘s is "common" across the media industry. 0ur media correspondent david sillito has been following developments. today mps have been hearing from presenters about people saying they found themselves stressed, even suicidal, facing huge and unexpected

tax demands. some had paid double the amount of tax. some people have not been paid in months. it appears to be wide ranging and a bit of a mess. among the people today, if anybody listens to radio it and brea kfast anybody listens to radio it and breakfast news, paul lewis from money box tom 0kker he has almost been like a shop steward trying to work out why so many things have gone wrong. —— from money box, he has almost been like a shop steward. ki rsty has almost been like a shop steward. kirsty lang and also liz kershaw from six music. she said she feels very upset some of this has appeared in the press. she is talking about the fact the bbc may have to pay some of this tax back that they have had to effectively pay twice, some of them feel. she's feeling very aggrieved. i totally believe in the bbc. but i really feel strongly that they have in a roundabout way libelled cars. my picture in the

la st libelled cars. my picture in the last few days as ended up about overpaid tax dodging employees and the licence payer having to pay their tax bills. that is not there. lam the their tax bills. that is not there. i am the last person... who do i work for? i work for the person who has to pay £150 per year. i work for them. not lord hall anybody. has to pay £150 per year. i work for them. not lord hallanybody. i has to pay £150 per year. i work for them. not lord hall anybody. iwork for them. that is really upsetting for them. that is really upsetting for me and i am sure my colleagues. i think it is a tragedy this mismanagement will lead to millions of pounds possibly being taken out of pounds possibly being taken out of the coppers, to write fully compensate people who have been taken compensate people who have been ta ken out of compensate people who have been taken out of a pension scheme or gone through hell to the point of nearly taking their own life, all been loaded with a tax bill. it is not something that i want to be a poster girl for. let's take the money from the licence payer, i resent that. none of this is about

that. they said they will appoint an independent conflict resolution team who will look at each individual case. they will also get the national audit office to look and see if the bbc is doing the thing it should be doing. and there are many questions about how it is down to the bbc and how much is down to the tax authorities changing the rules. and they say they want an industry wide examination of the system to see if this is the right way to continue. david sillito. a six—year—old boy with epilepsy is to deliver a petition to downing street today — calling for him to be granted a special licence to use medical cannabis. alfie dingley has a very rare form of the illness that causes up to 150 seizures per month. his mother, hannah deacon, told bbc breakfast recently she wants the government to let alfie use cannabis oil — which is banned in the uk, to help with his symptoms. in a moment a summary of the business news this hour. first, the headlines

on bbc newsroom live: the information commissioner is seeking a warrant to search the offices of a political consultancy, accused of using the data of millions of facebook users to influence the us presidential election. russian diplomats move out of their embassy in london — after theresa may ordered the expulsion of 23 officials, in response to the nerve agent attack in salisbury. a two—year—old girl has died after being pulled from a car which plunged into a river in cardigan in wales. i'm jamie robertson. in the business news... inflation in the uk has fallen. consumer price inflation fell from 3% to 2.7% in february. that's the lowest

figure since july 2017. inflation jumped after britain voted to leave the european union in 2016 — hitting a six—year high of 3.1% in last november. britain's data protection authority is seeking a warrant to search the offices of london—based firm cambridge analytica. it's part of a wider investigation that the political consultancy improperly gained access to data on 50 million users from social media giant facebook. facebook‘s shares dropped almost 7% yesterday. fathers wanting to take an equal share of looking after young children are being failed by workplace policies. that was a warning to the government from the women and equalities committee. they say the right to request flexible working and the government's flagship shared parental leave scheme are not working for most fathers. the complete removal of import taxes once the uk has left the european union would mean a drop in prices for consumers ofjust1.2% some brexit supporters have argued the uk should reduce all tariffs

to zero unilaterally. never mind what any other country does. even so the think tank, the institute for fiscal studies says the cut in prices would be less than the increase in prices we had after the fall in the value of the pound, post the referendum. let's talk to thomas cole, head of policy & research at open britain. let's look at this idea of zero tariffs. the unilateral removal of all barriers. would it have any benefit? i honestly don't see any outside whatsoever. understand that if the uk left the single market and customs union, particularly the customs union, if they wanted to they could bring tariffs down to zero but under world trade 0rganisation rules, which means for the entire world, proponents of getting rid of all kind of terrorist technology would have huge impact on the agricultural sector and wipe—out manufacturing. it is not going to be

good for consumers. it will threaten jobs and livelihoods. it would make it easier to negotiate with other countries. we have got zero tariffs, you might as well give that to us as well. tariffs is one part of international negotiations. it is often non—berries are things like the standards which are often the real issue when it comes to these negotiations. —— non—barriers. but there is an element of negotiating their bridge which would be taken away from the uk, just getting rid of all tariffs, putting to one side theissue of all tariffs, putting to one side the issue of manufacturing and agriculture being hit, what are you going to offer in return? if you negotiate with the united states and you are looking for access to their services sector, services are not covered by ta riffs. services sector, services are not covered by tariffs. and the uk economy is so based on the services, i think tariffs is almost a side issue. would it help the irish border question if you say we will not put up any barriers on the

border with ireland, because we will not raise any tariffs? so the european union, it is up to you if you put up barriers. a loss of this boils down to the conformity of customs checks which must still be undertaken regardless of whether or not tariffs are in place. why not? well look on the fight on sanitary standards. if the uk had a separate regime going for that after brexit, that jack would still need to be there. if you reduced and it does not solve the problem of the irish border in that regard. thomas goal —— thomas cole, thank you very much. some other news 110w... taxi hailing company uber has suspended all tests of self—driving cars, after a woman in arizona was killed in a collision. she was crossing the road with a bicycle when she was struck by the vehicle which was running in ‘autonomous mode', although there was an operator at the wheel. it is the first time a pedestrian has died in an accident involving a self—driving car.

a group of us retail giants including walmart, target and costco has asked us president donald trump to reconsider imposing tariffs against china, saying they could hurt american families. reports say the us is preparing to put annual tariffs worth more than £1t2 billion on chinese imports. and as much as a third of the weight of an easter egg is still the cardboard and plastic packaging it comes in, according to research by which? but the consumer group added that manufacturers have made big strides to make sure such packaging can be recycled. the markets... ftse is up a little bit. and that is to do with the weather, apparently, with big delays in deliveries for this company. revenues have gone up

but... they are getting better orders but the deliveries were hit by snow and that is why they have been marked down a bit. the pound looking pretty strong against the dollar, after the agreement at the end of last week about brexit. that is business. studio: more easter egg news later! thank you, jamie. the environment secretary, michael gove, has told mps he shares the "disappointment of fishing communities" at parts of the brexit transition deal agreed with the eu yesterday. mr gove said the government had pressed for the uk to be an equal partner in fishing negotiations during this "implementation period" — but the eu had blocked this. he was questioned in the house of commons by alistair carmichael, the mp for orkney and shetland. the mood in fishing communities todayis the mood in fishing communities today is one of palpable anger. this is not what they were promised. the

basic question the secretary of state has to answer today is this... if they let us down like this over the dealfor a if they let us down like this over the deal for a transition period, how do we know they will not do it again when it comes to the final deal? when it comes to it will they trade away access for waters to access for markets or anything else? the house also needs to hear today how this bizarre arrangement is going to work in practice. the eu — norway deal on macro will expire at the end of this year. we thought it would roll over 12 months. is that still going to be the case? what barrier will there be to the eu commission agreeing another bad deal for our fleet? regarding the operation of a disc are banned, british boats have a particular problem with hate as a choke species. that is a problem for our

fleet and nobody else. does he expect the other 27 member countries will come up with a solution to something which is a problem only for the uk something which is a problem only forthe uk and something which is a problem only for the uk and not for them? it was reported the government chief whip today, all yesterday, told his backbenchers, it is not like the fishermen are going to vote labour. if that is true it betrays a certain attitude. the secretary of state should not be complacent. he should not take it for granted in the future that they will be voting tory either. i'm very grateful to the honourable gentleman for his very fairand honourable gentleman for his very fair and detailed comments. i will happily acknowledge there is disappointment in fishing communities. i know as somebody who's father was a fish merchant and whose grandparents went fishing and see, i understand how fishing communities feel about this situation at the moment and i share

their disappointment. secondly, the honourable gentleman asked about future negotiations at the role we will play. there is a unique 12—month period leading up to 2019, at the end of the year in the december council, the eu will argue oi'i december council, the eu will argue on the half of the uk, but the uk will be there as part of the consultant delegation to make sure all legitimate interests he raised are fairly represented. it is also the casey raises the question of a ban and choke species. every nation is affected by this ban and choke species. we operate collectively with our neighbours to make sure we had the correct means of conservation, because without a syste m conservation, because without a system involving this and the ban, we can have overfishing which has sadly in the past led to unhappy outcomes for fishing communities. the final point i would make is of course nobody takes anybody's vote for granted and certainly not those

who worked so hard to make sure we have food on our plate. but i would say the only party in this house committed to leaving the common fisheries policy is the conservative party. and i should say in fairness also our colleagues in the democratic unionist party share that position, as well. it is critical all of us make sure that leaving the common fisheries policy at the end of 2020 enables us to make sure that his community in orkney and shetland and all of our communities benefit from the new freedoms leaving the cfb will bring. the environment secretary in the house of commons in the last little while. all part of the last little while. all part of the fallout from the transition deal agreed yesterday. now the weather with thomas sharon acker. —— now the weather. a slight change from yesterday had a

huge change from a couple days ago. todayis huge change from a couple days ago. today is the first day of astronomical spring. it is spring equinox, so the sunshine is directly over the equator and the weather will be turning milder in the next few days, not an awful lot. most of the time it will stay below average but at least the weather this afternoon and the rest of the day is fairly decent. on the satellite picture you can see these clouds, this motion from the west, in an easterly direction, a gentle movement and a sign the atmosphere is reversing rather than wind coming out of the east, weather systems coming out of the west. things will turn milder. you can see above my head and behind me the wind blowing out of the south—west. that will be dragging in some cloud into the west of scotla nd dragging in some cloud into the west of scotland and northern ireland tonight. maybe by the end of the night some drizzle, just a fraction milder on stornoway but for many of us milder on stornoway but for many of us with clearing skies, you can see there is a frost here and temperatures below freezing, even in

towns and cities. in the next few days, slightly milder air is coming in and behind that, slightly cooler airagain heading into in and behind that, slightly cooler air again heading into the end of the week. but believe me it is more about the wind direction. this north—westerly is nowhere near as cold as the easterly that we had. this is wednesday's forecast. fine weather in most of england and wales, but noticed the westerly setting in across the north of the country, bringing rain to the western isles and possibly rain getting into glasgow. those temperatures up to about 10 degrees in belfast, 10 degrees in london for the middle part of the week. this is a look at thursday. more weather systems drifting from the atlantic with a freshening south—westerly wind. quite breezy in some western areas with rain. at least at times. but despite the rain in belfast, still 10 degrees and in the south and east of the country, bright weather on thursday with temperatures at about 12. this low

pressure is temperatures at about 12. this low pressure is more temperatures at about 12. this low pressure is more typical weather we have across the country at this time of year. moving across the uk, bringing rain and showers. i think it is one of those mixed days on friday with sunshine, going to rain and sunshine again and feeling more fresh because it is more windy on friday. that is the latest from me. hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 2. a face to face with facebook. mps ask founder mark zuckerberg to answer their questions about data breaches. 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 the premises. heading home — 23 russian diplomats leave their embassy — ordered to leave by the prime minister, in the wake of the salisbury poisoning. a 2—year—old girl dies — after being pulled from a car in a river in cardigan in wales. and coming up on afternoon live, we
