earlier our correspondent dave lee gave me details from outside the facebook headquarters in san francisco. we were told to expect thing today, that has dropped in the last few minutes via his preferred platform, a post on his facebook page, a text post explaining his position. we expect slightly more from mark zuckerberg later today, we understand he was doing an interview with the us news networks cnn so we will hear his point vocally as well, but some of the things he said. he concluded by saying i started facebook and at the end of the day are responsible for what happens on oui’ are responsible for what happens on our platform. he described the situation is a breach of trust between the app maker, cambridge analytica, the company you process the data, and facebook. mark zuckerberg also said it was a breach of trust between facebook that the people who share data with this and expect us to protected. we need to fix that. that is his message to his

users. he did not apologise, i think this is a big point. no apology to the 2 billion facebook users. he did not address one key complaint, that it has taken this long to acknowledge the problem to his users, to acknowledge that data might have been manipulated. they knew about this in 2015, this will bea knew about this in 2015, this will be a big complaint put to mark zuckerberg by lawmakers around the world, why they didn‘t do more to get ahead of the problem as soon as the knew something wasn‘t right. how much pressure has he been under under last 21148 hours to sickly something? you look at the value the company, things have gone seriously awry in the last few days or so? huge amounts of money have been wiped of the company. it is fluctuating a lot as we speak. the fa ct fluctuating a lot as we speak. the fact he did not say much for some

time has been attributed to the company as the fact he was working around the clock to make sure he understood the problem, including meeting with product engineers. that has not done him too much credit, i think many people are highly critical of him for not commentating sooner critical of him for not commentating sooner and they say his hesitation to do so may more be about the legal implications of any comment facebook is now making, because they are being investigated by several very in potential groups, particularly in the us. the federal trade commission could impose huge fines on facebook because of this. they are understood to be looking at facebook so at the moment mr zuckerberg has had to choose his words very carefully, which could be one reason why it took them quite so long to publicly address this problem which, frankly, it is not show any signs of going away even after this statement. dave lee in san francisco. joining me now from bromley is journalist alex hern. he is the digital features writer

for the guardian newspaper. what do you make? i think dave was right, the lack of apology will rankle lots of people. mark zuckerberg and facebook a problem, cambridge analytica and the app developer took advantage of a feature which facebook puts into the site in 2007 and removed years later in 2015, which let any developer take vast amounts of data from people with only their friends‘ consent. amounts of data from people with only theirfriends‘ consent. that was a terrible idea at the time, even worse in hindsight. any other company would have a response, which is to go that was a mistake, we did it in the past and we will let go of the people who made that decision. u nfortu nately the people who made that decision. unfortunately mark zuckerberg does not want to let mark zuckerberg go right now. what will he change now, do you think? he has offered some things which will help, among them the ability for users to find and remove far more easily than they can

do now the apps they have given access to data on their site but which they have no use for the last two months. all of those things you hook up to your facebook account and forget about, in the future you will be reminded and say maybe you want to unlink this. it has promised the wide—ranging order that they should have done back in 2015 when they we re have done back in 2015 when they were first aware of this. —— wide—ranging audit. going through apps with untrammelled access to user data for seven years, finding the ones which abused as ants notifying users that they have had their data taken. he spoke about a breach of trust, how much do you think there has been mapped and how much do you think it concerns people who use his site everyday and can like all the other offerings it puts in front of them? i think there has been a breach of trust. fundamentally facebook relies on the assumption i do have given consent to it for the data sharing but it does, but that consent has to

be in some way informed, right? you can simply assume that people, when faced with one 6000 word license agreement on the day they signed on, have consented to everything you might ever do to them. in this case i think it is very hard to argue that users gave informed consent for the idea that their friends could share their data without any further checks on them themselves. that running for seven years just leaves facebook with no real leg to stand on when arguing that users expected this to happen. i suppose i was getting is a wider philosophical point, over the last few years we have apparently decided that we are less concerned about our privacy than about getting access to all the material that a site like this will now present? i am not sure we have decided that. as this shows, we didn‘t know what we had given up. we

had been faced with this vague idea, yes, that our privacy was being traded off, but in this specific case, this ramification of privacy when our privacy is the date of 50 million people being transferred to a psychometric testing firm and political consultancy, they did not agree to that. i think you ended being backpedalled into either defending the idea that people have consented to absolutely anything that facebook might want to do to them, and they don‘t get to know what that is, perhaps for years later, or you have the point that people have not really agree to this exchange. they have agreed to a notional exchange and probably perfectly fine, mostly blah, with the idea that facebook scans the stuff they upload. it scans their pictures and posts. that is the giving up of privacy that people expect. i am sure they are expected

to give the privacy to the extent that information would be transferred off a site without their consent. i have not looked on facebook this evening, how prominent is this statement from mark zuckerberg? unfortunately you asking the wrong person, i quit facebook in 2015. in that case i will pursue that line of questioning no further. thank you for coming on. and we‘ll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow‘s front pages at 10:a0pm in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are former conservative minister nicola blackwood and political commentator and columnist for the evening standard, ayesha hazarika. and some more breaking news. in the past hour it‘s been confirmed that the pilot of a jet which crashed at the shoreham airshow in west sussex in 2015 is to be charged with manslaughter by gross negligence of the 11 people who died on the ground. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy has the latest from sussex police headquarters in lewes. the background to this is that the crash happened in august 2015 at the shoreham air show.

a hawker hunterjet came down next to the a27, burst into flames and spread debris across a wide area. 11 men on the ground were killed, some sitting in their cars. another 11 people were injured. the pilot, andy hill, survived but suffered series injuries. for the past two and half years or so police have been carrying out an investigation into this. tonight, family members of the men who died have been called to sussex police headquarters in lewes to be told by the crown prosecution service that mr hill will now be prosecuted. sussex police conducted a thorough and detailed investigation into the incident and in november 2017 submitted a full file to the cps as evidence in relation to the actions of the pilot andy hill. in accordance with the code of prosecutors i have considered whether there is sufficient evidence to charge mr hill with any

offence and, if so, whether it is in the public interest to do so. following a careful review of the evidence i have found there is sufficient evidence to charge andrew hill with the manslaughter by gross negligence of the 11 men who died. i have also authorised a further charge against mr hill of endangering an aircraft, contrary to article 137 of the air navigation order 2009. mr hill will be formally charged with the offences and appear before the courts in due course. it is expected that mr hill‘s first court appearance will be in london in the middle of april. meanwhile, the inquest into the deaths of the 11 men is expected to be postponed until the criminal proceedings have been finished. more than a million

nhs staff in england have been offered a pay rise of 6.5% over the next two years. jeremy hunt said it was recognition that stuff have never worked harder. labour has said it was long overdue. there has been a mixed response from health unions, some pointing out that the writer is still quite small in real terms. porters. paramedics. nurses, who care for millions of patients. the staff who keep the nhs going are finally to have a bigger pay rise. it‘s nice for us to be recognised for all that hard work. but obviously, it doesn‘t detract away from the last few years, where we actually haven‘t had anything. most of us live on a strict budget. that can ease off a bit and the future will look better and brighter. i have two young children, so having this pay rise will help out even more with childcare, things like that. i'll be able to do more things. they chant: scrap the cap! forfive years, there have been calls to do just that.

aside from some automatic rises, the limit on public—sector pay increases of 1% meant wages fell behind. the secretary of state for health and social care, secretary jeremy hunt. and the election left the tories in no doubt about the irritation. so... today‘s agreement on a new pay deal reflects public appreciation forjust how much they have done and continue to do. rarely has a pay raise been so well—deserved for nhs staff, who have never worked harder. when a nurse pleaded with the prime minister for a pay rise on national television, she was told there was no magic money tree. so, can he tell us how this pay rise will be paid for? has the prime minister's horticultural skills grown said magic money tree? taxpayers‘ money for the rises will come from the treasury to start with, not out of existing health budgets, so the big unions are on board. it's not solved the problems,

it's a start, and we would expect it to be the start of a new process that recognises the hard work of our nurses and our people who work in our health service, that recognises the value and that we value those people for what we do. but staff still have to approve the deal. and with inflation, it might not make up the difference. i think the devil is in the detail, and our members that met yesterday were absolutely going through the details and couldn't see how this was going to claw back years of pay cuts. perhaps for nhs staff in england, these rises can‘t come fast enough. remember, limits on pay have been in place for years — part of the conservatives‘ efforts to balance the nation‘s books. but public money will still be tight. this is an easing of a squeeze, not the end. scotland and wales are likely to follow the westminster move. and it adds volume to calls for rises in other parts

of the public sector. money round here‘s still tight, but the cap no longer fits. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. the foreign secretary has compared russia‘s staging of the world cup this summer to hitler hosting the olympics in nazi germany. borisjohnson also says that he is "deeply concerned" about how british fans may be treated at the world cup. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. it follows the attempted murder of the former russian spy sergei skripal and his daughter yulia in salisbury with a nerve agent. in salisbury, the investigation into the nerve agent attack on sergei skripal and his daughter continued, as the diplomatic row between britain and russia threatened to damage sporting relations too. this summer, england‘s football team will travel to russia for the world cup and they‘ll be accompanied by thousands of british fans — and the government‘s worried about their safety. we‘re watching it

very, very closely. at the moment, we are not inclined actively to dissuade people from going, because we want to hear from the russians what steps they are going to take to look after our fans. so far, he said, only 211,000 british fans had applied for tickets, far fewer than normal. the numbers are well down, but that doesn‘t mean we are not deeply concerned about how they may be treated. berlin's great day dawns with the arrival of the olympic flame, at the end of its 2,000—mile journey from greece. 0ne mp said vladimir putin would use the world cup in the same way adolf hitler used the 1936 berlin olympics, to gloss over what the mp called ‘a brutal and corrupt regime‘, and the foreign secretary did not disagree. i think the comparison with 1936 is certainly right. and i think it‘s an emetic prospect, frankly, to think of, er, of putin glorying in this sporting event. in moscow, senior officials

summoned foreign diplomats for an extraordinary briefing — to suggest that britain itself had orchestrated the attack in salisbury. translation: the british authorities are either unable to ensure protection from such a terrorist act on their territory, or they themselves — directly or indirectly — i'm not accusing anyone, have directed this attack against a russian citizen. hello. my name is emma nottingham and i'm from the british embassy. you can‘t see her, but the british diplomat there gave as good as she got. sergei skripal and his daughter, yulia, were poisoned with a military—grade novichok nerve agent of a type developed by russia, in what we see as an attempted assassination attempt. the uk concluded it was highly likely that russia was responsible. it‘s now clear that the nerve agent used in salisbury is poisoning britain‘s relations with russia too,

with no letup in the war of words. james landale, bbc news. tributes have been paid to the red arrows engineer who died in a crash on anglesey on tuesday. corporaljonathan bayliss‘ colleagues described him as a "generous, kind and caring man who could always be relied upon." the pilot of the aircraft, flight lieutenant david stark, was injured in the accident. the headlines on bbc news... facebook founder mark zuckerberg admits the company has made mistakes in its protection of users‘ personal data. the pilot of a jet which crashed at the shoreham airshow in 2015, killing 11 people on the ground, will be charged with manslaughter by gross negligence. more than a quarter of a million nhs workers in england will get a pay rise of at least 6.5% over the next three years. hugh ferris has a full

round up of the sport. hello again. more on the story that the foreign secretary borisjohnson has agreed with an assessment that russia hosting the world cup can be compared to nazi germany staging the olympics in 1936. appearing at a parliamentary select committee this afternoon, mrjohnson was asked whether vladimir putin would use the tournament in the same way hitler did the games in berlin. he said that the labour mp who pose the our sports editor dan roan has an assessment about whether this language might have an effect on the england team‘s preparations for the world cup. if the government truly feel this is very much a political event as well as a sporting one, and borisjohnson even goes so far as comparing it to an event as infamous as hitler‘s 1936 olympics in terms of a sports event is being exploited, perhaps there will be some who argue that the england team and the players should not be party to that,

that a boycott is the way forward. it is important to stress that is not the government stance. when asked the foreign secretary by no means at that stage, he did not think it was fair for the team or the players to be punished, but i think the language used will lead to calls for a boycott. manchester city women have beaten the swedish champions linkopings. goals from paris and ross gate city a healthy advantage. the wsl leaders chelsea are playing montpellier in their last eight. a crucial away goal hasjust been their last eight. a crucial away goal has just been added to in france, the latest score with about 30 minutes to go is montpellier nil, chelsea two. ryan giggs admits he will be more nervous taking charge of wales for the first time then he ever was playing. he is in china for a friendly tournament and they face

the hosts tomorrow morning. giggs says he will use the game to assess his new squad but the competitive mindset is clearly still there. i want to come here and win the first game and win the tournament, instil a winning mentality. also it is a process, it is notjust short—term, it is long—term. of course it is always nice to win games, not only for myself, but also for the staff and players. it gives them confidence into the next game. scotland failed to reach the main event of the cricket world cup after being beaten by the west indies and the weather at the qualifying tournament in zimbabwe. scotland restricted the windies to 198 all out and were progressing steadily before rain arrived in harare. timing was crucial, they were just five runs behind the required duckworth lewis rating. the downpour was so heavy, they could not restart. ronnie o‘sullivan is attempting to

how much of a dilemma has this cause itv comedy you think? a massive headache. these are two most loved stars, there is nobody bigger than them, they are the kings of television. not only are they popular but they host three of the bigger shows on tv, notjust itv, saturday night takeaway, britain‘s got talent and i‘m a celebrity. it leaves itv with a massive mess. they have been at the top of their long? for decades, and their popularity has not wavered. the given public can be very fickle and nobody has got bored of them, they always win the award is voted for by the public. it has been difficult to topple them. it is strange, when this all came out about fares last year, people were on his side, wanting him to get through it and felt desperately sorry. this time, the fact he has failed a breathalyser and got binder wheel

means people feel more conflicted. you wonder how much longer their popularity can last after this. what of declan donnelly having to work on his own, how does that look?m of declan donnelly having to work on his own, how does that look? it is very sad, it is obvious he is doing better with a heavy heart. he has so many obligations, itv is wrapped up ina many obligations, itv is wrapped up in a massive sponsorship deal for the finale of saturday night takeaway, they needed to get it on air. ithink takeaway, they needed to get it on air. i think dec feels there is a pressure, if not to the broadcaster, but advertisers, viewers and fans. a lot of competition winners going to florida villa massive finale, so i think he feels obliged. it is very much a short—term, interim measure. what will happen after that, long—term, i think it is trickier. for dec‘s career it would be smart to try to start doing things alone, but the magic, the reason people watch ant and dec is their friendship, their banter, their

relationship. i think he might look a lost soul on his own. britain's got talent will follow fairly soon afterwards, at the moment it looks like it will be him on his own? afterwards, at the moment it looks like it will be him on his own7m is very tricky, they have filmed a lot of the auditions already, we have seen pictures of them arriving at their news to do the auditions. there will be lost in the can of ant and dec, isuppose there will be lost in the can of ant and dec, i suppose they will have to hour that now it is filmed. britain‘s got talent is slightly different, once they get to the studio it is very straight, you can imagine dec doing that without sounding much banter. but the reason that celebrity macro is such a hit is that it is those two being silly, joking around, —— the reason i i‘m a celebrity is such a hit. it dec has somebody else, it will look false. have either of their work till to any significant degree? know, and when they release their autobiography they made a pact that

they would never do that, they said, friendship comes first. i think that will probably still be the case. we saw pictures of dec going to see ant, he will be helping ant through this, they are hugely in each other‘s lives. i cannot see dec turning his back on ant professionally or personally. dec will find presenting on his own very strange, i do not think he will particularly enjoy it. it is that whether he feels he needs to salvage a career on his own, whether he will wait for ant, whether he will step away from the spotlight, we just do not know. many thanks. fashion retailer new look is to close 60 stores across the uk, with the loss of 1,000 jobs. it‘s part of a plan to reduce rental costs for the fashion chain, and refocus the brand on new look‘s core younger shoppers. the shops will closures will take place over the next 12 months. the us central bank, the federal
