after a light aircraft carrying their latest signing disappeared over the english channel last night. emiliano sala, who's 28 and from argentina, was due to spend his first day at cardiff today. the single—engine piper malibu plane was on its way from france to cardiff when it disappeared from radar yesterday evening off the island of alderney. a search is under way, but so far no trace of the plane has been found. our sport correspondent joe wilson has more. emiliano sala is still missing. with every passing hour, viewers can only grow that he and the pilot on the plane bringing him to britain are dead. he became cardiff city's record signing. he'd already travelled to wales to start something new in his career. we walk him around the grounds, and

he was absolutely ready to give it a 90, he was absolutely ready to give it a go, and we knew him then, and we really feeling dumb i feel sad to hear of this news, because we have met such a great person. born in argentina, sala built his football career in france, especially at nantes, where he had a strong reputation as a goal—scorer. he'd travelled back to france to say goodbye to his team—mates. this photo posted yesterday afternoon on sala's twitter account is captioned, "the last goodbye". at 7:15 last night, a light aircraft left nantes, bound for britain. it never arrived. sala was on board with the pilot.

searches have continued near the channel islands. no sightings. we have searched over 1000 square miles of sea by day and night, the search continues with assets from france and the uk, so far nothing has been seen, but we carry on expanding area out. these pictures give an indication of emiliano sala's reputation in french football. nantes have postponed their next game, scheduled to be played tomorrow. between two football clubs, a young man at the peak of his career, trying to live his dream. joe wilson, bbc news. in a moment, we'll be speaking to our reporter john fernandez in guernsey. but first to paul heaney, who's outside the cardiff city stadium. what have the club been saying? what is the latest from there? the club gave a statement within the last few

hours, in which it says its owner, its chairman and all the staff are thinking of emiliano sala's family at this time, and of course the pilot of the aircraft as well, both of whom are missing. it says it has cancelled training for today, it made that decision earlier this morning, because they were expecting their new record signing to join them for the first time today. just to my right fans have started laying scarves and flowers in tribute, really, to a player they were expecting to arrive at their club last night. but as we have been hearing, unfortunately that flight, that plane never arrived. tim hartley is a member of the cardiff city supporters trust, a very sad day today, what have fans been saying to you? it is terrible news,,

this was going to be our great hope of the season, a proven goal—scorer who wanted to play for cardiff city, a record signing to keep us in the premier league. pack all of that, we are talking about the death of a young man at the peak of his career, and the pilot as well. it is brilliantly fans are coming together, they are paying tribute to someone together, they are paying tribute to someone that they never saw playing football, but we come together as a foot ball clu b football, but we come together as a football club because we care about each other, and our thoughts are not about football but the family and friends of this young man. it feels like there has been an about turn in emotion from excitement and anticipation, of seeing a star striker signed, breaking your club's record, to hearing this troubling news this morning — what else have people be sent you my well, yes, social media, everyone hasjust said what a terrible, terrible tragedy this is. no—one is looking at the

table of the premier league this evening at all, we are just saying, how could this have happened and how terribly sad it is. i think that is what people will take away from this, just how sad it is, you know? and there is nothing we can do, we don't know, goodness knows what his family are going through, not being able to know one way or the other, but this club, as i say, will pull together. a fitting tribute, i'm sure, training was cancelled, i understand nantes have cancelled their match on wednesday night as well, and i think, again, a terrible tragedy, we must be thinking about the family. it puts things into context, certainly, thank you for your time this evening. the club say they are praying for some positive news, but we are due to hear imminently from the search and rescue teams as to whether the search will continue overnight, or it will stop and continue tomorrow at first light. 0k, paul, thank you for that, paul heaney in cardiff. let's talk now to john

for that, paul heaney in cardiff. let's talk now tojohn fernandez, who was in guernsey for us, john, hearing a little bit as to whether or not the search and rescue operation is going to continue into the night. have you got any more news on that? yes, as we were told a little bit earlier today by captain david barker comedy guernsey harbour master, coordinating the operation to find this downed aircraft behind me, thejoint emergency to find this downed aircraft behind me, the joint emergency can services control centre, he says a decision will be taken at sunset, they will come to a decision as to whether to continue the search in the next 30 minutes. guernsey police have released a statement saying that during the course of the 15 hour search, using multiple sea and air assets, they found a number of floating objects in the sea, we have been unable to confirm whether they are from the missing aircraft. they say they have found no sign of those who were on board, and planes and a lifeboat are still searching. we

have heard that 1155 square miles of the sea at the north of alderney, in a part of the sea which is called the casquettes, has been searched by these assets, but so far no sign. we arejust these assets, but so far no sign. we are just hearing that the search will be suspended for the evening, continuing possibly at first light in the morning, but we are hearing in the morning, but we are hearing in the last couple of seconds, it is actually from a tweet from guernsey police, suggesting that the search and rescue has been suspended for now. but there has, john, been an attempt to search for these plain in some of the airfields in the area, perhaps it touched down somewhere? well, that was something that david barker committee harbour master, did say earlier. he said all avenues are available, there was no mayday call

from the plane, so they were not sure whether it went down. they are treating that is the most likely cause, but they have been calling different airfields around the area that it could have got to do ask whether a plane matching the description of this piper malibu which left nantes yesterday have touched down in that area. now, there was cause have gone, you know, they have not turned up anything, so at the moment they are assuming that the plane is in that area, and as you say, the search should be continuing tomorrow morning. you are, ok, continuing tomorrow morning. you are, 0k,john, thank continuing tomorrow morning. you are, ok, john, thank you for that from guernsey. just to remind you of the breaking news in the last three orfour minutes from the breaking news in the last three or four minutes from guernsey police, that the search for that missing single engine plane containing the football emiliano sala, just signed by cardiff city from nantes, on its way to cardiff from nantes, on its way to cardiff from nantes, on its way to cardiff from nantes today, and we assume the pilot, there was one other person on board the plane, the search for the

plane which disappeared from radar last night, has now been suspended, and we assume will resume again at first light tomorrow morning. and in the last ten or 15 minutes or so, the chain patisserie valerie has collapsed into administration. now, the firm had been embroiled in an accounting scandal and was close to colla pse accounting scandal and was close to collapse last year after irregularities were discovered in the compa ny‘s books. irregularities were discovered in the company's books. the firm had beenin the company's books. the firm had been in talks over the last few months with lenders, including hsbc and barclays, to try to extend agreements over the firm's dads, which expired just last week, so clearly those talks have not gone as well as the firm had hoped, and now it seems that the firm has collapsed into administration. so the cake chain patisserie valerie has collapsed into administration with the failure of talks to extend

credit over its debts in the last few weeks. mps opposed to theresa may's withdrawal deal with the eu have been putting forward their own brexit proposals. they include a labour party motion, saying mps should be able to vote on whether there should be a second referendum, and another proposal allowing a delay to brexit. the cabinet has been meeting today, and it's understood some senior ministers have been pressing for a no—deal brexit to be ruled out. mps are to vote again on theresa may's proposals in a week's time. here's our political correspondent iain watson. do you think your colleagues should be permitted the chance to vote on a no—deal brexit? most members of theresa may's cabinet remained tight—lipped when asked what their colleagues would be willing to do to avoid leaving the eu without a deal. do you think there will be resignations? privately, some ministers are prepared to leave office unless, at some stage, the prime minister rules out no deal. anyone in that house who wants to avoid no—deal

as passionately as i do, wants to deliver brexit as much as i do, and wants to avoid a people's referendum, which i think would be another extension of all of these tough conversations, needs to come together to support the deal. but behind the scenes, work and pensions secretary amber rudd is pressing theresa may to allow ministers to vote for a backbench bill that aims to avoid no—deal without them having to walk out of government. that bill has been put forward by labour's yvette cooper, but backed by former conservative cabinet ministers, too. we are working on legislation to say that if the government can't get an agreement with the commons by the end of february, they must ask the eu for an extension of our departure, we are suggesting until the end of 2019. the official opposition has set out its own plan. labour wants mps to vote on all options that would avoid no—deal, including its preferred outcome

of a permanent customs union with the eu. and the party wants mps to consider whether to hold a referendum on any brexit deal. this was welcomed by some of those campaigning for a new public vote. i think it's a welcome step in the right direction. it doesn't take us to exactly where i want to be, but i think it's part of the process that will get us to that point. but should she be sounding quite so positive? but i think it's part of the process that will get us to that point. many of labour's grassroots members want a new referendum if they can't get an early election. but the party's plan falls short of that and doesn't commit the leadership to a new public vote, only for pushing for parliamentary time to discuss it. leading labour figures say they are proceeding with caution. this is a divisive issue for all parties, particularly the conservatives and labour, where we have mps who are against a people's vote for various reasons, and people in favour of it, so we would very carefully determine our position at the time. 0urjob is to bring as many people

together as we possibly can, and that really is one option of many, and our priority always has been to secure a deal. the search for a brexit deal continues, but it has been straining traditional party loyalties almost to destruction. 0ur chief political correspondent vicki young is at westminster. vicki, the bottom line about today is that, after last week's shellacking for the prime minister and her brexit deal, ministers, or rather members of parliament, are putting forward their ideas as to how these brexit deal should move forward. yeah, i mean, this is the moment that they have two indicate what it is that they would like to happen, not necessarily what they are against, but what they would put

in its place, and that is still a tricky problem for a lot of mps. if you look at the amendments, and we do not know which ones will be selected until next tuesday, they may not all be selected, there may not be a vote on all of them, but there is definitely a theme — tried to stop us leaving the eu with no deal at all. so there are various groupings, cross—party amendments, some coming from the tories, some coming from labour, all trying to rule out that scenario. i am sure the prime minister would say there is one good way to do that, by getting behind my deal, and that is why she is still looking at that plan as the best way to do all of why she is still looking at that plan now, best way to do all of why she is still looking at that plan now, these way to do all of why she is still looking at that plan now, these way to do all fifééfiéfil4§hf n why she is still looking at that plan now, these vaj try do all efééi§;f§;s;:w n in. the 3952‘s that the? tie ts. is its; ’ ' " ' tried ih the eee that thee the te tie it; ’ ' " ' tried to ih the eee that thee tre te tie it; ’ ' " ' tried to make sure that some tried to make sure that backbench mps can decide what the business is going to be in the house of commons, which would be incredibly unusual. yvette cooper is

probably the most ambitious, by saying she would want to give time to stop i know the scenario for the time being because it would actually delay article 50. —— to stop a no—deal scenario. the question is whetherjeremy corbyn gets behind that, because the risk is that the prime minister can turn around and say, you are backing something which delays brexit, is that where you wa nt to delays brexit, is that where you want to be? it is a tricky question for the prime minister, and the opposition as well, and also to do with whether they want to hold another referendum or not. labour's amendment asks about consulting the public, is that cast—iron suggesting that the party is backing a second referendum, and if it is, does it mean that remain will be on that ballot? it is not as clear as that.

what was interesting is that those who are pushing for another referendum date seized on it to say that, yes, this is a big move towards labour backing another referendum, but it wasn't quite as clear as that, and if you speak to people injeremy corbyn's office, it is not so much that, what they are saying is that they are guaranteed to make the time for parliament to discuss it. that is not the same as, again, labourandjoe discuss it. that is not the same as, again, labour and joe cole, the front bench, central labour mps, we are going to swing behind another referendum. jeremy corbyn would argue, iam referendum. jeremy corbyn would argue, i am sure, that this is a problem of the government's making, that it problem of the government's making, thatitis problem of the government's making, that it is up to them to sort it out, so far as he is now pushing for his vision of a permanent customs union, a close single market relationship, keeping open the possibility, but no more than that,

of another referendum. 0k, vicki, thank you. the headlines on bbc news. police in guernsey have suspended their search for a missing plane which was carrying 28—year—old argentinian footballer emiliano sala. the aircraft disappeared over the channel yesterday evening. mps opposed to theresa may's brexit deal put forward their alternatives. labour is calling for a vote on options including another referendum. and uk employment reaches a record high, with more than 32.5 million people in work. elsewhere in sport, huddersfield's new manager, yann saivet maybe following the same path as david wagner, but the new man says he is is own england rugby welcome jonathanjoseph is own england rugby welcome jonathan joseph back to is own england rugby welcome jonathanjoseph back to the squad as! to portugal tomorrow they head to portugal tomorrow for their six nations preparations. and ;. 777%fl "' ' is l v”%" "' '

jobs went to people who were not previously looking, students or long term sick. what we are not seeing in these figures is any sign of an impact from, say, brexit uncertainty, but that kind of impact may have happened further out and could still filter into the figures in the next few months. but wages, you mentioned them, the fastest growth for ten years in november, replicating what we saw in october, 3.3%, higher than a year previously, but in actualfact 3.3%, higher than a year previously, but in actual fact in the last few months wages are again struggling to keep up with the cost of living, so if you look back to where we were prior to the financial crisis, we are still worse off by an average of £20 per week compared to where we we re £20 per week compared to where we were then in real terms. £20 per week compared to where we were then in realterms. we £20 per week compared to where we were then in real terms. we started the programme at five o'clock with the programme at five o'clock with the breaking news on patisserie valerie, it has gone into administration. it has, patisserie valerie, as many viewers will now, has been struggling to find a financial lifeline ever since it

uncovered a £14 million black hole in its accounts just last autumn, and a fall from grace has happened very quickly indeed. it can't find that lifeline, so the company says it will have to go into administration, and that means 2800 jobs now are at risk at over 200 plus outlets. very worrying times indeed for them, but theirjanuary wages, we understand, will be paid by luke johnson, the wages, we understand, will be paid by lukejohnson, the man behind patisserie valerie. and finally news from james dyson, he announced that he was building a new factory in singapore, now the corporate headquarters is going there. yes, he isa man headquarters is going there. yes, he is a man who has played quite the brexit debate, saying, yes, the corporate headquarters is going to move to move to the far east. why? well, he is saying they want to be closer to where their customer base is growing the fastest, and that is across asia. and this will not affect many jobs, a across asia. and this will not affect manyjobs, a couple of executives will move over, they will still have 4000 workers here in the uk, but you can imagine tomorrow's

headlines, can't you ? uk, but you can imagine tomorrow's headlines, can't you? it will be seen as a lack of faith in the uk. the politics of it from a brexiteer, some would argue. dharshini david, thank you. prince william has been speaking to sir david attenborough at the meeting of world leaders and top business people in davos. the prince interviewed the veteran broadcaster about the urgent challenges facing the next generation of environmental leaders. speaking to the prince, sir david said it was difficult to overstate the urgency needed to tackle climate change. it's a personal treat for me to be sitting here asking you questions, normally i have to endure people asking me questions, so it's quite nice to turn the tables for once. david, recently you were in poland and you spoke very powerfully at the un climate change conference there. tell everyone here, how urgent is that crisis now? it's difficult to overstate it. we are now so numerous, so powerful, so all pervasive, the mechanisms that we have for destruction are so wholesale

and so frightening, that we can actually exterminate whole ecosystems without even noticing it. we have now to be really aware of the dangers of what we're doing, and we already know that, of course, the plastic problem in the seas is wreaking appalling damage on marine life, the extent of which we don't yet fully know. and why do you think the world leaders and those in key positions of leadership, why do you think they've taken so long and there've been quite a few faltering steps to act on environmental challenges? because the connection between the natural world and the urban world, the society of human society, has always, since the industrial revolution, has been remote and widening. and we didn't realise the effects of what we were doing out there, but now we are seeing that almost

everything we do has its echoes and has its implications across the natural world, so that we have now to really to be careful what we do, because we can exterminate things without even knowing. people of my generation now are beginning to step into positions of leadership around the world, the work to save the planet is probably largely going to happen on our watch, what advice do you have for my generation and what, what can we build on that you have started? i think the paradox that there has never been more a time when more people have been out of touch with the natural world than now, and we have to recognise that every breath of air we take, every mouthful of food that we take, comes from the natural world.

and that if we damage the natural world, we damage ourselves. we are one coherent ecosystem. it's notjust a question of beauty, or interest, or wonder, it's the essential ingredient, essential part of human life is a healthy planet. we are in the danger of wrecking that. if we don't recognise the sort of connections that i have been describing, then the whole planet comes in hazard, and we are destroying the natural world, and with it, ourselves. david attenborough speaking to the duke of cambridge. some of the day's other top stories: soldiers and police

in zimbabwe have been accused of the "systematic torture" of civilians who've been beaten with batons after being ordered from their homes at night. the country's human rights commission says police have used "brute, excessive and disproportionate force, causing avoidable loss of life." a court in moscow has denied a bail application by a joint british—american citizen, who's been detained in russia on suspicion of spying. paul whelan, who's a former us marine, was arrested by the russian security service in december. his family say he was in moscow for a friend's wedding. up to 800,000 federal employees across the united states remain unpaid since the partial government shutdown one month ago, with some of them still expected to work. the standoff is between donald trump and the democrats over funding the president's key election pledge, a border wall between the us and mexico. much more coming up, including the latest on those up for oscar nods in

a few weeks' time, but first susan powell has all the weather. a pretty wintry picture for most of us, unexpectedly heavy wintry showers pushing across eastern england, here is a recent image from bucks, and many spots are seeing pictures like these, and of course it is the evening rush hour, and things are a little treacherous on the roads. we have had a line of showers organising themselves to give a heavier spell of snow, and that line will continue tracking eastwards in the next few hours, but still some difficult conditions if you are heading home or out through the early evening. heavier showers pushing into south wales and the midlands as well, further snow flurries in northern ireland and for western scotland. it is a chilly evening, it will be a cold night, potentially our coldest of the year so far, down to minus 9 degrees in some areas. no surprises, ice could

bea some areas. no surprises, ice could be a problem just about anywhere. something else that we need to watch very closely, a line of flowers tucking back into the south—east, look out for dangerous conditions particularly in kent first thing tomorrow morning. this is bbc news. the headlines. police in guernsey have suspended their search for a missing plane which was carrying 28—year—old argentinian footballer emiliano sala — the aircraft disappeared over the channel yesterday evening. we knew, we knew him then, and we really feel sad to hear of this news, because we had met such a great person. mps opposed to theresa may's brexit deal put forward their alternatives. labour is calling for a vote on options including another referendum. and ccming up — the film

the welsh club signed the striker. a leader scorer in the french league in the last season. and seen as the kind of person who could kick—start cardiff city's attempts to stay up in the premier league. but of course, thoughts of football are beyond everyone now, thoughts are for this young man and his family, this is palace real in nantes where some of the fans have been leaving their little tributes. the light aircraft carrying the 28—year—old argentinian was flying to cardiff when it disappeared over the english channel. we have heard today in the last few minutes that the guernsey police are suspending the search and rescue operation for now while the chief executive of cardiff city ken choo says the team is in a state of shock. he was so happy to join

cardiff city, he, you can see from the face that he's so so happy to be here, and so ready to start. i mean words cannotjust describe how the look on his face when, when he met us, and we walk him around the grounds, and he was absolutely ready to give it a go, grounds, and he was absolutely ready to give ita go, and, and we grounds, and he was absolutely ready to give it a go, and, and we knew, we knew him then, and we really feel sad, to hear of this news, because we had met such a great person. cardiff city's chief executive ken choo. let us talk to the french football writer. good to see you, it isa football writer. good to see you, it is a terrible day, but, hope is

still there, that perhaps emiliano sala and the companion on the plane may be found. just tell us, what your memories are of him, because your memories are of him, because you interviewed him many times, didn't you. that is right, yes, i mean everybody here in france is still in a state of shock and we have all been hoping that the news he has been found and might be, we have been hoping that might arrive but with the less cue being called off for the night, it is, it is looking bad, and i think a lot of people are preparing themselves for the news when it comes, like i say, he isa the news when it comes, like i say, he is a really popularfigure, he has been in france for nine years, he arrived at the age of 19 from argentineia, joined bordeaux, he is a player who has fought his way up through the year, he has not had it easy, had loan spells in the lower divisions but he is a real battler on the pitch, a big strong strapping centre forward, who scraps for

everyone, runs his socks off for 90 minutes and it has been great to see ‘:“;;f“§|nthe him succeeding in the last few year, he has been scoring regularly, he one of the top scorers so we was one of the top scorers so we we re was one of the top scorers so we were all happy for him getting that move to the premier league, he was very excited and very much looking forward to it, so you know, this news as it stands at the moment is looking very very tragic. yeah, i mean, he was on an aircraft with one other person, he'd onlyjust signed for cardiff city, had an enormous future ahead of him. that is right. that's right. he signed on saturday, he came back to nantes, according to reports he came back on that aircraft that has gone missing, so he made one trip from cardiff to nantes, according to a former team—mate, emiliano sala expressed concerns to him about the aeroplane,

he said the initialjourney from cardiff to nantes wasn't a smooth affair either, so, you know, there was concern there, everybody in na ntes was concern there, everybody in nantes is going to be devastated, in terms of the times i met him it was a genuine pleasure, very serious about his career, very determined and likei about his career, very determined and like i said, hugely popular in the dressing room, so it would have been an emotional farewell from na ntes been an emotional farewell from nantes yesterday but nobody was what was going to happen. nantes yesterday but nobody was have was going to happen. ‘struggle to ‘ struggle to stay i not i. not going to i not going to he in of in. of goals, it is have rattled in lots of goals, it is impossible, it is impossible to know, but he is 28 years of age, in the peak of his career, at nantes he has been doing a terrificjob because they are relatively limited team, he has been playing on his own in attack, to get those 12 league

goals before christmas was a very impressive feat, and he's been carrying nantes and the coach was putting big pressure on the club not to sell him even talk the coach might resign, in the end they had to ta ke might resign, in the end they had to take the money. i think there is a good chance sala would have scored goals, he is a player who can be a bit hit—and—miss but when his confidence is up as it is at the moment he can be difficult for defences so it was a wise move for cardiff in their current position, to get a big strong attacker like sala who would have given everything. many thanks for that, matt spire row there speaking to us from paris, the writer who has interviewed emiliano sala on numerous occasions, we will take you to nantes, give you a few more pictures there, and showing some of the outpouring of affection and in some cases, grief as well. they are

chanting there, fans of nantes football club. emiliano sala just signed from that club to cardiff city. this is the place real in nantes. the fans appreciative of what he has given their side over the last few year, he had been in nantes for nine yea rs, year, he had been in nantes for nine years, and helped stabilise the club with his goals. and a lot of concern there, obviously, for the man who has been missing for the last 20 hours onboard a single engine plane, took off from nantes last night, heading towards cardiff city, with the pilot onboard, just two of them onboard that plane. we were hearing there from matt spire row that the journey from matt spire row that the journey from cardiff to nantes originally in that aircraft, a few days ago, was a

little bumpy and troubled. we also know as well that the guernsey police have called off the search and rescue in the waters around that area for the evening, that will resume again at first light. 0nline abuse of people with disabilities should be made a criminal offence, according to a new report by mps. it says that perpetrators are currently not being "appropriately punished". their report follows a petition started by the reality tv star, katie price, who has a disabled son. 0ur correspondent jon donnison reports. katie price, whose16—year—old son harvey has a disability, says he has suffered a shocking level of abuse on social media. people have crossed the line, and something needs to be done. i can't say on here what has been said. if someone said it live, like us now, you would get in trouble. because it is online and written down, people don't seem

to take it seriously. her petition, submitted in 2017, attracted more than 220,000 signatures from people calling for such abuse to be made a specific criminal offence. that led to a parliamentary committee of cross—party mps being set up, to which katie price gave evidence. you can have your point of view about things, but there is a point, and at the next discussion it will hopefully get through, where you sit down and draw a line about when it becomes a criminal offence. the committee is backing the reality tv star's called for the law to be changed. we found that disabled people were often let down by the system when they tried to report abuse, and we recommend that, in future, targeting someone because of their disability should be put on a par with targeting someone because of their race. the parliamentary committee also called for a register of offenders to be set up, after hearing evidence from google, twitter and facebook.

it concluded that self—regulation had failed disabled people and too many had been driven off social media while their abusers remained unchecked. today, under the hashtag #harveyslaw, katie price said that she was very pleased that parliament was taking the issue so seriously, but she said she wouldn't stop until such abuse was made a crime. the headlines on bbc news. police in guernsey have suspended their search for a missing plane which was carrying 28—year—old argentinian footballer emiliano sala — the aircraft disappeared over the channel yesterday evening. mps opposed to theresa may's brexit deal put forward their alternatives. labour is calling for a vote on options including another referendum. uk employment reaches a record high,with more than 32

it is not bad for the brits this year, i saw the favourite on new year's day, loved it. a bit naughty. some people have said they expect a british period romp, saying it was a bit rude and depressing. it has changed the way... it was a corking film. i am glad it has got ten nominations across the board but for the directing, the look of the film, the directing, the look of the film, the production design which is steeped in great british heritage, shotin steeped in great british heritage, shot in hatfield house, the wonderful tapestries and using sandy powell's costumes for it. film four helped produce. it has taken 20 yea rs helped produce. it has taken 20 years to get to it the screen, a really chequered route to it, and i am sure everyone who has been seeing that project through for that length of time, the writer, and producer,

they must be feeling very vindicated today and well deserved it is too. let us see a cricket world cup clip of that, the film the favourite. i'm ready for the russian ambassador. who did your make up? we went for something dramatic, do you like it? you look like a badger. 0h.... are you going to cry? really? well... what do you think you look like? badger. do you really think you can meet the russian delegation looking like that? no. i will manage it. get back to your rooms. thank you. did you just look at me? did you? look at me! how dare you! close your eyes! three brilliant characters there,

0livia colman, emma stone and rachel wise. the cardboard cut outs were the blokes which turns things round, thatis the blokes which turns things round, that is what attracted people to this story, it has taken that long this story, fit has tarerrthafiorrg it to become — is bein held $777 is bein held f777 is bein held m7 ” wav. it is beino held up now. in_a where there is not many female year where there is not many female nominees in the technical categories this is the film that is brandishing feminism and pushing it forward. i think it is doing that and putting that into british history, one step more forward then it will be doing it in 0scars history. more forward then it will be doing it in oscars history. we should be clear the suggestions that perhaps there was a lesbian relationship involving queen anne are scurrilous. it is not necessarily the case. involving queen anne are scurrilous. it is not necessarily the caselj doesn't matter about historical accuracy. because it was a corking film. we can now talk to robbie ryan who has been nominated for his

cinematography on that film, are you there robbie? how are you? very well, congratulations on your 0scar nod, you must be chuffed. well, congratulations on your 0scar nod, you must be chuffedlj well, congratulations on your 0scar nod, you must be chuffed. i am delighted, yeah, very exciting new, delighted, yeah, very exciting new, delighted for the film, really, it isa delighted for the film, really, it is a great result, ten nomination, amazing, you know, iam is a great result, ten nomination, amazing, you know, i am very pleased for all the team. it is very exciting news. superb, i sort, this might sound like an oxymoron, the idea a period drama has been dragged into the 21st century but your use of lenses and angles and so on u your cinematography really made this thing come alive. yes, no, as i said, down to thejorgeson's great vision for the film that we went down an unusual visual route, and it was a lot of crazy lenses used, and i think, it is nice to see everybody

respond to it so well. this is jason here. thank you for coming on and congratulations again. am i right in thinking some 0 of the fish eye lens, they are based on sort of paintings and portraiture that was prevalent at the time? there is lots of kind of reasons for how this all comes to pass but i think if you look at some of, the van dijk paintings, there is a lot of convex mirror, where you see characters in the mirrors and they are warped and yeah, ithink the mirrors and they are warped and yeah, i think painters used mirrors quite a lot in sort of showing the environment, and i guess that can be social associated with the way we worked with this, it is an absurd story so fish eye for want of a better word lend to it very well, and it really helps the story very much realise itself. for you as a

cinematographer, your famous film before this was i, daniel blake which was very different. we didn't use fish eye lenses! he likeses his longer lens, ken. it was fun to use those because i hadn't used them, we used a lens called sps6 from pan that vision in london, and it is a really wide lens, i guess it cleared the room, and it meant the actors we re the room, and it meant the actors were free to do what they wished, and fantastic actors they were, had fun with it. what was it like filming those beautiful actresses, is there something about 0livia colman's face that must be a joy to film as a cinematographer, so much to read in every emotion. she is amazing, she is the new national treasure, she is such a lovely woman as well. it is amazing to work with her, you don't notice she is doing

it, itjust comes out of her so naturally, she is such a lovely woman between takes you can have a laugh with her, next thing she is crying her eyes out so it is an amazing room to be in when she is acting like that, you know. brilliant. all right. robbie, it is really good to talk to you, congratulations, and thank you for helping to produce a brilliant film. cheer, thank you very much. very very happy man there. an 0scar nominee, let us talk about the political side of the oscar, there a lwa ys political side of the oscar, there always is that edge to the ceremony, never mind the red carpet and the glitz and glamour, last year it was about the me too movement and potential sort of issues around sexual harassment and so on, a few yea rs before sexual harassment and so on, a few years before that it was the oscar so white campaign, not enough diversity, how do you feel about what could be the political ramifications of the oscars this year? it is very interesting, i

think we have seen black faces, and black film—makers and black stories come to the forethis year, black panther, black chance man nominated. if beale street could talk is adapting a novel beautifully, a. no nation for its actress region that king, so that arrived in hollywood, i don't want to get complacent but spike lee it has taken him 30 years to get a nomination for best director, he has had to fight 30 yea rs. director, he has had to fight 30 years. hard to believe, i am old enough to remember she's got to have it, do the right thing all ignored. let us show a clip of black chance man un. chance man. i'm not risking my life to prevent some rednecks from lighting

a couple of sticks on fire. this is the job. what's your problem? that's my problem. for you it's a crusade, for me it's a job. it's not personal, nor should it be. why haven't you bought into this? why should i? because you're jewish, brother, the so—called chosen people. you've been passing for a wasp. white anglo—saxon protestant, cherry pie, hotdog, white boy. hm. it's what some light skinned black folks do, they pass for white. speak lee said blackman joins speak lee said blackmanjoins kkk, what else is there to say? say? lock, i think it's a brave film, you see talks about politics, spike lee dares to bring them up, sometimes they are too much for the academy. in the current discourse they are not. that is how relevant black panther is, screaming into america's politics, they are the currency of what america is being powered by, we

have a mexican film in roma, mexico, which you know, the president is trying to build a wall round, you will have that film, almost dominating the academy awards, in california spanish language is hardly a second language so that is a very interesting thing, mexican directors have been leading the charge for so long in hollywood, we are seeing a thawing of those racial prejudices that stop the voters go thatis prejudices that stop the voters go that is not not an oscar type movie. there are no female directors or best picture nominee, people need to see those differently. going back to roma, a netflix movie, did it premier on netflix first?” roma, a netflix movie, did it premier on netflix first? i saw its world premier at the venice film festival where it won the golden lion. it was kicked out of cannes for being a netflix movie so this

row has been going on as what constitute cinema, there are french die hard saying this is not a film, i saw it at the london film festival, it was released on some big screen, but i watched it on netflix which the director made a specially compressed version so it looked great there too. we are seeing a convergence of that, some people continue get to cinemas so how amazing there are 80 million subscribers that can get access to this movie where they wouldn't be able to it is a double edged sword, netflix are cock—a—hoop with this, they wanted to show they support cinema, i think roma is a masterpiece, it is as much cinema as fellini. i was about to mention him. it's a great story and a great performance from an indigenous

mexican actress. could it win best picture? i think so. also interesting and controversial as well, british film, irish film i think, called detainment it is looking at the james bulger murder. this has caused controversy that it has been considered, james bulger‘s mother got a petition signed, 90,000 signatures said please don't consider this film. the film—maker did not approach the family about making this movie and i haven't seen it, i have only seen clips and trailer so i can't say what it does. it is art'sjob trailer so i can't say what it does. it is art's job to get into the skin of these people, i think that is what has offended the family, saying that these two boys don't deserve humanising ina that these two boys don't deserve humanising in a way, but that is the job of the art. so i haven't seen it soi job of the art. so i haven't seen it so i don't criticise the film for that. it looks harrowing in. it is based on real transcripts from the police hearings, it is obviously bringing up terrible memories for

the family. it is good to see you jason. thanks for looking at the stories concerning the oscar nominees. now it is time for the west. west. . it is cold, i am nominees. now it is time for the west. west. . it is cold, iam not, west. west. . it is cold, iam not, we have had a lot of edits to make because the weather is turning out to be challenging, a different mixture of sleet and snow. heavy is now for wales and theed midlands, and through the small hours things become quieter, but then temperatures will plummet, possibly our coldest night so far, ice a risk first thing wednesday, and then we need to watch closely again, the fast south—east, because this little weather system that has carried the showers into eastern england is pulling away, but it looks like a little hook is going to develop but the snow showers will feedback in,

they could prove rerentless through they could prove rerentless through the course of wednesday and across the course of wednesday and across the downs we could get significant accumulation, for many a fine story, accumulation, for many a fine story, a lot of sunshine round but again a cold day, look out for freezing fog through the central lowlands of scotland. the government tells social media companies to take more responsibility for harmful online content in a bid to protect vulnerable young people from self harm and suicide. 14—year—old molly russell took her own life — her father says social media played a key part in her death and his daugher had had so much to look forward to. that's gone. we have to come to terms with that. the hard thing is that's all gone. with the help of the internet and social media. we will be asking what more can be
