10:45 pm
know many of the did not seem to know many of the questions at all stop with the choreography was interesting. there five minutes in the spotlight where they put their individual questions. actually, they had the different questions. it was a good performance in terms of interviewing, was in the? that each had their five minutes and it was very well delivered. i thought it was very excellent television. perhaps we should keep on watching. it's going on for several days, isn't it? it's very good viewing. it teaches you really about discrete examination of someone is at fault and them being called to account.” thought with interesting about the story in the ft, they are highlighting the fact that he has had to apologise in the past for other mistakes that facebook has made. it isn'tjust this latest
10:46 pm
scandal over cambridge analytica, is it? that's absolutely right. i think is the same for many of these giant tech companies who are pioneers of the field. i think some of the excuses he's made the maka today we heard him trying to explain that he took the cambridge analytica company at its word, that they were taking advantage of lax terms in facebook conditions. he said we ask cambridge analytica to delete that data, and did not follow—up. he said perhaps we should follow up. absolutely... i think it's going to be a landmark events. we have to watch and find some global way of checking this mass of use of private data for
10:47 pm
public profit. i think this is the launch pad of that. which leads us on quite nicely to the guardian. they've got a rather dramatic picture of mark zuckerberg on the front page. class action lawsuit against facebook and data firms. lucy, who has longed this? seven individuals are named on a writ. it is launched in delaware. no doubt likely to deal with the very low tax rates in the state. they claim their data was used inappropriately for a political propaganda campaign, firstly in the eu referendum and then in the us presidential election. facebook, under the then in the us presidential election. facebook, underthe law, could face penalties of up to £7,000
10:48 pm
per person, so potentially a $70 billion fine. do you believe this is opening the first of many lawsuits that could arise? i think it's highly possible you could see many more names added to this writ. yes, i'm sure you're right. everyone sang, "0h, i'm sure you're right. everyone sang, "oh, i will have a go." in saying "i'm sorry." that could hold up saying "i'm sorry." that could hold up in court. let's move onto other front pages, we're looking at the i. there's a lot to unpack and that particular headline. first of all, we don't know what donald trump is actually planning to do yet, do we, in the wake of this supposed chemical attack in syria ? in the wake of this supposed chemical attack in syria? theresa may has pledged to work with trump
10:49 pm
and micron. that is positive. she chairs a meeting and refuses to roll outair chairs a meeting and refuses to roll out air strikes. we have not get air strikes but they have not ruled out, which is a marvelously ambiguous way of saying we have not yet decided. clearly they have not yet decided. trump is eager to make an impact within 2a hours, so it may even proceed the announcement of what is happening. it may happen in an break in the news. that may be one of the problems for her. it's under royal property of the prime minister. president in recent years has been the prime ministers ticket to the commons for a vote. conservatives in re ce nt commons for a vote. conservatives in recent years and, if you need to act, you need to bring it to us and let us have a say. presumably, she
10:50 pm
remembers the defeat previously, when the government was defeated... and so she's mindful of that. perhaps that's why she's hesitating to say what's going to happen. how much pressure do you think theresa may is under? i think huge pressure. it's been interesting today that she's used quite a critical language, if the assad regime is responsible for this alleged chemical attack, then we... responsible for this alleged chemicalattack, then we... it doesn't seem to me yet that she's made up her mind based on the language she used. also interesting in the early phases of the wake of this attack them it was very much trump and macron talking. the uk came slightly dated to that conversation. she's got to balance
10:51 pm
it domestically while also remaining at the top table internationally. and she also needs to be aware that it was boris who said it was categorically russia... and that he had misspoken and she does not want to miss speak, i'm sure. she has a lot of nuance to do here, and she's quite good at that. perhaps. let's move quite good at that. perhaps. let's m ove o nto quite good at that. perhaps. let's move onto the telegraph, a picture of donald trump on its front page. and similarly, may stands behind... the telegraph saying the prime minister is unlikely to go to the commons for a vote, but parliament in recess at the moment. one of donald trump's aids to me seems to be raising the diplomatic temperature by talking about genocide in syria. what did you make of that language? you have to be very careful what words you use. one jewel dropped a words so powerful as
10:52 pm
genocide, into any sentence or any paragraph, it's radioactive itself. that is a really dangerous thing to do because it loosens the actual language and the power of language. if you keep a word like genocide from genuinely prevent international agreed murder of a people, that's fine. what we have here, or what we seem to have here, is an expansion of the weapons of war. and what is very alarming is that chemical weapons are now becoming far too familiar as weapons of war. there have been, i was reading in some of the cover here, there are a thousand documented uses of chemical weapons in the last seven years in syria. that's these pearls that are dropped, chemicals in them. it's becoming a habit and we might get used to it and it might become
10:53 pm
familiar, and it's a really terrifying matter. it to xu -- it's interesting as well. donald trump has got a conundrum in front of him as well, hasn't he? the sense that he launched the limited strikes this time last year and really they don't seem time last year and really they don't seem to have been a difference stop he doesn't want to risk a war with russia in syria, does he? what are his options? as his press secretary sarah huckabee sanders said today, all options are on the table. last year, when there was the nerve gas attack, he responded with cruise missiles. we wonder if he has to go slightly further this time. he's promised to act forcefully. i think he's under pressure. he's sort of drawn himself a red line over this issue, so he's got to act. and yes, you're right. perhaps he does not wa nt you're right. perhaps he does not want to get drawn into a huge war in
10:54 pm
the region with some any kind of different players, and russia on the other side... last week, he said we're coming of syria. he changes his mind of course, but was very clear, "we've had enough, we're coming out of syria." on the other side, the robert mueller investigation, he also wants to appear tough on russia and lining up on the other side of this debate. lots of different motivations at play. let's move on finally to the daily mirror, and the headline "shameless" death of the criminal. talk me through this one. when someone talk me through this one. when someone dies, the family are bereft, and whatever the circumstances, however villainous, the family are
10:55 pm
in grief. this is about a situation in which the family had gone to the home of the man that wielded the knife that killed their loved one and they put a lot of flowers on the actual fence of his home. and they put a lot of flowers on the actualfence of his home. now and they put a lot of flowers on the actual fence of his home. now that has caused enormous offence to him and people have pulled down a macro with got a war here in a local issue about which people are taking sides. the grief of loss is terrible and they've made a fool decision to go to the home of the person who was killed that they love. there should be somewhere they should put flowers, some were separate, that does not a fan and where they can feel that he's been remembered. they wa nted feel that he's been remembered. they wanted to be remembered. they loved him. he was a thief. it doesn't matter. to do this as an assault on the man who defended his home, his wife against an intruder is a really
10:56 pm
bad decision. emotions are running high on both sides of this. you wonder if its displacement activity that people are resurrecting. i absolutely agree with you. he does not seem good to me why, for example, they could not build a shrine near the home of the burglar, not the home of the victim. left and their on a not the home of the victim. left and theirona —— not the home of the victim. left and their on a —— let us and there on a note of consensus. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. as i said, thank you, damejoan bakewell and lucy fisher. thank you for watching. until next time, goodbye. hello. quite a range of weather on offer across the uk this week. some of it is cloudy, damp,
10:57 pm
misty, quite chilly. others getting some occasional sunshine. in that, it feels quite warm. we have got low pressure to the south of us. you can see the clouds spinning around, occasionally producing rain bearing weather systems turning our way, high pressure in scandinavia and an easterly flow. we've seen a bit of rain today. most of us have had that at some stage. recent rainfall figures show that is mainly northern scotland. some showers develop in the evening into southern england. for the rest of the week, some wet weather at times. not all the time. again, some brighter moments. quite chilly still for the rest of the week. through the night, the rain will eventually clear. the showers clear for southern england, but some outbreaks of rain start to feed back into parts of east and southeast of england. there'll be a few clear spells here and there, but a thick cloud around, misty in places, and temperatures down to about 4—8 degrees as wednesday begins. as we go on to wednesday then, this is what we're expecting. a lot of dry weather around, and for many who saw rain today,
10:58 pm
a little bit brighter too. we've got some sunny spells northwest england, a few into northern ireland, westerm and northern scotland, southern coastal fringes of england, maybe a few into west wales. this cloudy, wet zone. well, wet, occasional outbreaks of rain in the parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia, some in southern england just sticking around during the day. a little bit of cloud in eastern scotland, north east england, and temperatures held down into single figures. why is it so chilly? the air coming from the continent isn't cold, but it does move across quite a large portion of the cold north sea, and so it is cooled closer to that temperature once it hits the coastline. lots of low cloud and mist with that as well, so until we change that flow of air from that direction, expect conditions to remain like this. so on thursday, maybe a bit of rain coming your way as well. outbreaks of rain in northern england, parts of northern ireland and scotland, northwest scotland staying fine. south of that, for the rest of england and wales, a lot of cloud, some bright and sunny spells coming through.
10:59 pm
whenever you see those, it does turn quite warm. it will change on friday but into the weekend, eventually you're going to change the wind direction, so cut off flow of cold air into north sea coasts and the temperatures are going to go up. and more widely for us into next week, some warmth to head our way. this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11pm: facebook ceo mark zuckerberg apologises for failures to protect millions of its users' personal data during an appearance in front of a us senate committee. we didn't take a broad and our our responsibility, and that was a big mistake. and it was my mistake, and i'm sorry. -- broad enough view of. deadlock at the un over an inquiry into the suspected chemical attack in syria as the us, uk and france consider a military response to the crisis.
11:00 pm
yulia skripal, one of the victims of the nerve agent attack in salisbury, leaves hospital. her father sergei, the former russian spy, may also be discharged soon. as mark
