9:31 am
weekend in the six nations. england made a real statement of intent with a 32—20 win against last season's grand slam winners, ireland. it was ireland's first six nations defeat in dublin for six years. scotland also started their campaign with a victory. 33—20 over italy at murrayfield. our sports editor dan roan rounds up the action. with these two teams dominating recent six nations, this promised to be an epic. grand slam winners and second in the world rankings, ireland were favourites, but it was england who started fastest. the game had barely begun whenjonny may scored his country's first try here for eight years to stun the home crowd. ireland responded, cian healy burrowing over after sustained pressure. but england were forcing their opponents into uncharacteristic mistakes. jacob stockdale's blunder pounced on by elliot daly. the lead, seven points at half—time. ireland aren't used to being bullied — this is a team who beat the mighty all blacks here in the autumn. but despite losing maro itoje to a serious injury, england's ruthlessness earned a famous win.
9:32 am
first, may's clever kick through was gathered by henry slade, before the centre scored his second and the decisive try, seizing onjohnny sexton's desperate pass. ireland managed a late consolation, but this was england's day, their first win here for six years and by a margin few had predicted. ireland very rarely lose here and so, this is a hugely significant result for england, and certainly, this team bears little resemblance to the one that finished fifth in last year's championship. in a world cup year, this is hugely encouraging for eddie jones‘ side. meanwhile, earlier at murrayfield, the fans were in good voice as scotland managed a winning start to their campaign against italy, blair kinghorn scoring the hosts‘ first championship hat—trick in 30 years — a result scotland will look to build on next week, when they welcome a bruised ireland. dan roan, bbc news, dublin. in the women's six nations,
9:33 am
france thrashed wales. caroline thomas scored a hat—trick as the defending champions ran in nine tries for a 52—3 victory. wales‘ only points came courtesy of a first half penalty. england‘s cricketers have slumped to another heavy defeat against the west indies in antigua, and with it have lost their three match test series with a game still to play. england finished their second innings with a lead ofjust 13 runs after another batting collapse. the windies quickly completed a ten wicket win, john campbell clearing the boundary to clinch the victory in style. cardiff city‘s players and fans paid tribute to emiliano sala yesterday. the game against bournemouth was their first at home since their new argentine signing went missing when his plane disappeared over the channel islands. both team‘s captains laid flowers on the pitch and fans created a mosaic in honour of the argentine striker who they had signed from french side nantes. bobby reid scored both
9:34 am
of cardiff‘s goals in a 2—0 win and after the first he held up a t—shirt adorned with sala‘s image. emiliano was a super guy. i met him for a couple of months and itjust got hold of me after the final whistle, walking across to the fans at the far side. they were amazing. and you just start thinking about things and you just can‘t stop. it‘s a — it is an emotional time. it was great for the club to get the win today, i‘m pleased for the chairman, mehmet dalman, and ken choo, they have worked really hard and, you know, good to — i was proud of the club today. new loan signing gonzalo higuain and eden hazard both scored twice in chelsea‘s comfortable 5—0 victory over bottom side huddersfield. the win moved maurizio sarri‘s side back into the top four after their 4—0 defeat at bournemouth last week. in the battle against relegation southampton looked to be on course forjust their sixth league win of the season.
9:35 am
nathan redmond put them ahead against burnley at turf moor but the home side salvaged a point thanks to ashley barnes‘ penalty deep into stoppage time. at the other end of the table tottenham moved above manchester city into second thanks to son heung—min‘s late strike and a little bit of help from the newcastle keeper martin dubravka. manchester city will reclaim that second spot if they get a point against arsenal later today. in the scottish premiership, rangers beat st mirren 4—0, narrowing the gap on leaders celtic to three points. meanwhile, aberdeen moved into third place after coming from behind to win at hibernian. gary mackay—steven fired them 2—1 in front before half—time and that‘s the way it stayed. celtic play stjohnstone today. the 2019 super bowl will be played between the new england patriots and the la rams later today in atlanta, georgia. tom brady and the patriots, are led by the most successful coach in super bowl history,
9:36 am
bill belichick. while his opposite number sean mcvay is the youngest—ever coach to guide a team to the super bowl. we‘ve been speaking to three—time super bowl winnerjerry rice, who tells us what the rams must do if they are to win. it's it‘s jerry it‘sjerry rice, it‘s jerry rice, super it‘sjerry rice, super bowl xxiii mvp. the three keys for the rams to beat the pope gets, offence of wise they have to control the ball, they have to be able to run the football with anderson. what these guys are doing in the play—offs right now is amazing and he‘s one of those guys who once the football and he know he can makea who once the football and he know he can make a late and there‘s a lot of going around, is he hall of fame and all that but you have to look at
9:37 am
these players now and give them credit. you have to be able to stop tom brady. ithink credit. you have to be able to stop tom brady. i think he‘s the greatest of this year. what he has accomplished, you will never see this again, for this guy to beat 41 and still be able to do what he‘s doing isjust and still be able to do what he‘s doing is just amazing and still be able to do what he‘s doing isjust amazing but and still be able to do what he‘s doing is just amazing but you and still be able to do what he‘s doing isjust amazing but you have to start looking at this guy and say he‘s one of the greatest quarterbacks of the game. my prediction is if they are not able to stop tom brady and edelmann and bronk, the rams don‘t have a chance. and all the action from between the rams and the patriots in atlanta will be live on bbc one. coverage starts at 10:45pm right through until 4am so get yourself ready for a late night. you can also follow the action on the bbc sport app and website. we‘ll look forward to that. that‘s all the sport for now. now on bbc news, here‘s
9:38 am
ben with the papers. hello and welcome to our sunday morning paper review. with me are the business commentatorjosie cox and sian griffiths, education editor at the sunday times. welcome to you both and thank you for being with us. let‘s take a look at the front pages. the sunday times reveals a brexit plan to evacuate the queen on its front page. the paper reports emergency proposals to remove her majesty and other senior royals from london in the event of riots triggered by a no—deal brexit. the mail on sunday claims the tory peer and head of the climate change committee, john selwyn gummer, has been paid £600,000 from green businesses who stand to make millions from his advice. it reports mps say he should have declared the payments.
9:39 am
he denies any conflict of interest and says he‘s fully complied with disclosure rules. writing in the sunday telegraph, theresa may pledges to "battle for britain" when she travels to brussels to re—open negotiation‘s and invokes the support of labour leaderjeremy corbyn who agrees the eu must offer concessions on her brexit withdrawal agreement. the observer reveals that a group of labour mps are preparing to quit the party and form a centre group amid growing discontent withjeremy corbyn‘s leaderhip on brexit and other key issues including immigration and foreign policy. just a flavour of the front pages today so let‘s kick off. josie, the sunday telegraph have the prime
9:40 am
minister without article on page 19, tucked deep inside the paper but it‘s their front page lead, her saying she will battle for britain. and i wouldn‘t be surprised if this isa and i wouldn‘t be surprised if this is a headline we could have seen last week or the week before, it doesn‘t inspire much hope for progress. she sounds a bit like a broken record. she says she has new ideas but we‘re not sure what they are. she says new ideas and new determination, she said how determined she was to reach a deal that‘s best for britain but we have yet to see that and this doesn‘t provide much evidence of anything earth—shattering the progressive. she also says the clock is ticking, which we know, and some people are saying she has been running down that clock. yes, that is the fear
9:41 am
people have, that we will crush out with no deal which nearly everybody accepts would be disastrous in terms of the economy. although some brexiteers would say they managed no deal could be a good solution. it's only the hard right brexiteers who think that, most of the country do not think that, and the sticking point is this backstop, this controversial backstop in northern ireland and she is saying in her article that she will go to brussels to try and renegotiate the backstop arrangements but the eu has made it clear that it doesn't want to renegotiate backstop arrangements which prevent a hard border. people say the eu need a deal. it's in everyone‘s‘s interests, that something most parties here are
9:42 am
greek so based on this article and other coverage i think it‘s looking likely that there will be an extension. we were talking about this in some detail before the show. you had detailed talks? we did, and if we look back at the last ten yea rs of if we look back at the last ten years of european history, whether the euro crisis, greece, it was a lwa ys the euro crisis, greece, it was always a case of us getting to the edge and somehow kicking the can down the road further and because of that i think this deadline at the end of march looks less and less likely to be the actual deadline. on a slightly lighter note on brexit, this is the sunday mirror and a story about boris johnson this is the sunday mirror and a story about borisjohnson binning brexit, tory blunder, they say,
9:43 am
chucked 70 pages of potentially sensitive papers into a bin, at a petrol station. this is a man some people would like to be prime minister and his dumping papers in a bin ata minister and his dumping papers in a bin at a petrol station. potentially very sensitive papers and i love it, beau go exclusive, they sell it well and it turns out he did dump these papers in the bin, a passer—by picked up a few pages and sent them to the sunday mirror and the person who found and said he wants to be prime minister but how could he look after the country if he cannot keep hold of his own notes on this crisis, it's unbelievable he put them in the bin without shredding them, and the documents are hilarious, not only does he
9:44 am
reiterated his position, his says business strategy for leaving with i'io business strategy for leaving with no deal in a second referendum would be undemocratic but there is a izza rd be undemocratic but there is a izzard doodle of a giant tooth, —— a bizarre doodle. i thought you said of donald tusk! he puts his views on saving the planet. he starts off by saying he knows how the eu works and then by the end of the sentence he‘s talking about prawn cocktail crisps, so talking about prawn cocktail crisps, so this is a story that i would like to fall into the hands of continental colleagues. there was a statement from mrjohnson saying just as the british hub that are complaining that newspapers are full of rubbish, the sunday mirror has proved it. but he doesn't deny it.
9:45 am
the sunday times also have a different angle on brexit, saying a brexit plan to evacuate the corwen, sounds dramatic, whitehall fears for royals in case of no deal riots. this is a great story. apparently the queen and other royals will be evacuated if there is a no—deal brexit and we have riots. that is a lot of ifs. cabinet sources have told the team who put the story together that there is repurposed singh of cold war plans which were drawn up to protect the queen in the event of a nuclear attack and those plans are being repurposed and if that are riots, the queen will be moved out of london to a secret location. presumably there are all sorts of contingency plans for
9:46 am
moving the queen in all sorts of eventualities. that's why i am confused by this story because if there were several unwraps in the event of a no—deal brexit, they usually occur because of shock and people being surprised, also with the queen be the most endangered person? perhaps we should put in place evacuation plans for mrs may, rather and finally can you think of anywhere more secure than buckingham palace? i think a secret location is much more secure palace? i think a secret location is much more secure than buckingham palace. the more interesting thing about this story is that it adds context about the corporate impact, so context about the corporate impact, so nissan is mentioned, the car maker has cancelled plans to produce
9:47 am
its new model in sunderland as a result of brexit. they were reporting that a lot yesterday. you think that is the more significant story? i have to as a business commentator. on the politicalfront, tangentially related to brexit is the observer front page, labour rebel mps set to leave the party, talk about a new party are merging. is that ever going to happen. this underscores the sense of flux british politics is in and it says six mps are plotting this new party, the ones who were named after angela smith, chris leslie and luciana berger, that is probably no great surprise that it underscores the political alignment is no longer
9:48 am
what it was and a lot of people in the light of brexit negotiations are questioning their political affiliations and i wouldn‘t be surprised if the same discussions we re surprised if the same discussions were happening in the tory party. there has been talk of that for a long time and nothing has happened. it takes more than six mps to form a new party. shand, your story is very alarming and it follows alarming stories about a younger generation, self harm and suicide and social media, the headline is the tragic toll of teenagers doubling in eight yea rs. toll of teenagers doubling in eight years. these are provisional figures due to be published this year by the office of national statistics and we have seen a trend of rising teenage suicide rate against at national rate that is falling but teenagers,
9:49 am
the rate is going up and provisional figures show it will go up again when they publish later this year and this is so boring, and comes on the back of two weeks of stories about children and teenagers who are self harming and who are suicidal in the worst cases and there is this growing fear and parents are saying social media sites and the internet are fuelling this, and we have had molly russell's father coming out bravely and talking about the death of his daughter at the age of 14 and saying when he looked at her instagram and interest accounts, he was horrified by the dark material he found that she had viewed. was horrified by the dark material he found that she had viewedlj was horrified by the dark material he found that she had viewed. i was interviewing someone last week from the nspcc saying some social media
9:50 am
sites are glorifying suicide and self harm, it‘s extraordinary that sort of material is out there. and it‘s easy for sites to say they don‘t cure rate the content, it‘s a platform that allows people to publish their own editorial but i think stories like this raise the question of when we will get a regulator and we need one, and what ru bs salt regulator and we need one, and what rubs salt in the wounds is that these social media giants are doing fa ntastically these social media giants are doing fantastically in financial terms, facebook had raked in profits of $7 billion last year, they are attracting more users every day and are still growing, and they are spending a lot on security and regulation but they are clearly not doing enough if we are still seeing stories like this, so they have to
9:51 am
do more. there are investigation is ongoing and work to try and implement something to make entities more regulated so i think we will see a crackdown next year but currently it‘s clear that not enough is being done. we have damian hinds here as well saying social media funds have a moral duty, that‘s fine to say but what will we do about it? the sunday telegraph have a story on similar lines that children are competing to become better itself harm risk, as young as 12, competing to commit worsening acts of self harm online. i've been talking to a lot of parents this week and i hadn't realised how awful the situation is because 25% of teenage girls are self harming, one in ten
9:52 am
teenage boys, those are very high figures, we note self harm is a risk for suicide in later life. one can lead to the other. experts are saying we are at risk of nurturing a generation that thinks self harm is a way of coping, if you are depressed and you go to these websites they encourage you to release your emotions and teenagers think this is a sensible thing to do, there is a white paper that is supposed to come out at the end of the month and i hope it will be tough on social media companies and will outline plans for an independent regulator and there will be penalties if social media and tech giants don't act to take this stuff down and protect our young people. facebook have nick clegg now as their chief spin doctor, they have been talking a good game but
9:53 am
there is more to do. they say it's ha rd to there is more to do. they say it's hard to regulate it but they are the ones facilitating this so the blame lies at their doorstep, on self harm the other thing to say is, correct me if i‘m wrong, you probably no more than i do but it‘s often a cry for help so this is a point where we can intervene and stop something more sinisterfrom can intervene and stop something more sinister from happening so we should be behind them. the last direct is also very sad, emiliano sala, the cardiff city signing, the search for the plane carrying him and his pilot, searches getting under way today off the coast of guernsey and the song on sunday, there sports pages have a front page featuring cardiff city winning yesterday but just how featuring cardiff city winning yesterday butjust how sad it has
9:54 am
been, the cardiff manager, who has been, the cardiff manager, who has been very emotional about this, saying it‘s been an emotional ten days and finding it hard to deal with, i‘m sure a lot of people following the story. and cardiff did paid tribute to emiliano sala yesterday and they had flowers and yellow daffodils, yellow tulips and thatis yellow daffodils, yellow tulips and that is the symbol of his club in france, they wore yellow and blue shirts, very emotional tributes but so shirts, very emotional tributes but so sad. and a young man, aside from the fact he was a brilliant footballer. too often the sports stories that dominates papers are about money and scandal and this shows the beautiful compassionate empathetic side of the sport and when it matters, we do pull together
9:55 am
and this tribute was clearly very touching and a fitting way to honour this gentleman. lovely to talk to you both, thank you for being with us. that‘s it for our sunday morning paper review. don‘t forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. but our thanks again. goodbye. we had the dose of winter across the south, still a bit of snow here and there, it has been melting quickly and the thought will continue, in the next 24 hours it will turn much milder across the uk after that frosty start. this is the extent of the frost earlier on, you can see
9:56 am
that in ireland here milder conditions are arriving as the winds swing up of the atlantic pushing in cloud, rain, not a swing up of the atlantic pushing in cloud, rain, nota pretty swing up of the atlantic pushing in cloud, rain, not a pretty picture so far in central and western scotland with rain and other places have also had icy conditions, so this is what it looks like around midday, still a little rain across northern england, wintry across the hills but generally improving across scotland and staying dry across the south and south—east and this afternoon will feel milder with temperatures up to 7 degrees in london and then tonight a real change, we have wet and windy weather blowing through the country, temporarily some snow across the scottish hills but rain for the most pa rt scottish hills but rain for the most part and temperatures above freezing. last night it gets down to -10 freezing. last night it gets down to —10 in some areas, tonight it will
9:57 am
be closer to 5 or 8 degrees in the south—west. tomorrow morning, for many of us dry start but the rain may last for a time through the morning and the abstinence in the south—east and also showers in the north—east of scotland but elsewhere to dry and bright and temperatures are back up to double figures. the change continues through the week ahead, one weather system moves away into scandinavia, another replaces it with low pressure pushing in more mild weather and temperatures over the coming days, as far as saturday, temperatures in two double figures across the south, but in the north it looks like we will keep temperatures around single figures, so temperatures around single figures, so this summary, it‘s turning milder, at times there will be some wet and windy weather at some sunshine from time to time as well.
9:58 am
goodbye. this is bbc news. i‘m ben brown. the headlines at 10... theresa may says she has new ideas on brexit ahead of her return to brussels for talks on the irish backstop. a new search begins off guernsey today to find missing cardiff city footballer emiliano sala and his pilot. hundreds of students join police to search for libby squires, who disappeared in hull on thursday night — police say they‘re extremely concerned for her welfare. victims of crime will be given new powers to challenge the release of violent offenders from prison, after a review in england & wales. in sport — england celebrate a stunning victory over ireland in the six nations. and in half an hour — kenneth branagh speaks to tom brook about his new film ‘all is true‘ — in talking movies.
