after a short illness. and the oscar nominated director barryjenkins returns to the big screen with if beale street could talk 7 see what mark kermode thought of that — and this week's other releases — in the film review at quarter—to—six. it's five o'clock — our top story. the daily telegraph says it will publish tonight further allegations about the retail billionaire sir philip green. it comes after his legal action against the newspaper was formally ended by a high courtjudge.

sir philip, the owner of topshop, had gagged the telegraph from reporting allegations of racial and sexual harrassment against five employees — claims which he denies. today sir philip accused the telegraph of a ‘vendetta' against him. our business correspondent theo leggett reports. it is a bitter legal battle between one of the country's best—known businessmen and the daily telegraph. the newspaper wanted to publish allegations of bullying, sexual harassment and racism against sir philip green. he emphatically denies the claims and took out an injunction which prevented the paper from naming him. and in phone calls which have now been published, he said the case might end up bankru pting the newspaper. the telegraph, called the affair the #metoo scandal which could not be revealed but revelations did follow.

sir philip hain used parliamentary privilege to name sir philip in the house of lords. i feel it is my duty under parliamentary privilege to name philip green as the individual in question. sir philip denies allegations categorically but in court documents which have been released by his lawyers conceded he is a passionate businessman... they added... they also said. sir philip and his lawyers wanted to drop the injunction because they said it had become pointless as he had already been named. but the daily telegraph wanted conditions, they wanted to prevent him from taking further legal action against victims of bullying and harassment who had already signed so—called nondisclosure agreements, otherwise known as gagging orders. the judge refused. so now the telegraph is free to publish its story and says it plans to report details of the claims made against the billionaire.

sir philip described its actions as a vendetta against him. the threat of further legal action remains. the debate the whole affair has started about privacy, the public interest and gagging orders is likely to gather even more momentum. and theojoins me now. is you suggested, this is a case which highlights wider legal issues. absolutely, the daily telegraph has chosen to highlight these issues, especially as of nondisclosure agreements, which is when someone has received a payment to settle a dispute and agreed to keep quiet. these two have legitimate uses but have also been described as gagging orders. the concern is wealthy individuals might use them to silence complaints about their behaviour. that is what the daily

telegraph has been trying to highlight. here's what chris evans had to say. it is partly about place freedom but also about the misuse of nondisclosure agreements. these gagging orders are being used to cover up gagging orders are being used to cover up allegations of sexual misconduct and racial abuse by wealthy, powerful men who had the ability to intimidate their employees. that is the wider issue but we should say sir philip green emphatically denies all the allegations there telegraph has made and will make tomorrow. thank you very much indeed. the family of the footballer emiliano sala has thanked the public for their support in what they say is ‘the most painful time' of their lives. a body pulled from the seabed in the channel earlier this week has now been formally identified as the cardiff city player. the argentine and his pilot, david ibbotson, crashed into the sea near guernsey last month. attempts to bring the aircraft back to the surface have been

time of their lives. you can see behind me the tributes which have been made for the player. he never got to play for the bluebirds but nevertheless, hundreds of tributes here outside the stadium. the club are not sure what to do with these tributes. we had a statement in the last hour from the owner of cardiff city who said i wish to express my deepest, heartfelt condolences to the family of emiliano sala. may his soul rest in peace. i am very sad and cardiff city will continue to work with the air accident investigation branch to find out how the crash happened. cardiff city have also offered to pa his body to be transported back to argentina. and of course tomorrow, all the players playing in the premier

weeks leading up to this occurring, there had been a small number of positive findings in other equines, not resources. from uninviting —— unvaccinated populations which tells us unvaccinated populations which tells us this particular strain of equine influe nza us this particular strain of equine influenza appears to be one which is circulating in north america, not prevalent here in europe. so no horse racing in this country until next wednesday. how long could this go on far, cheltenham isjust next wednesday. how long could this go on far, cheltenham is just around the corner? it is, ithink go on far, cheltenham is just around the corner? it is, i think bha think by being cautious in taking this early action, they will reduce the time that racing is suspended. yes, cheltenham is just over one time that racing is suspended. yes, cheltenham isjust over one month away, the olympics havejumped horse racing. this is a huge industry worth billions of pounds. bookmakers are losing money, jockeys want to

officially being built more about the political crisis in northern ireland, the lack of government at stormont. there is no doubt that because brexit is the main issue which impacts on everything else which impacts on everything else which is going on politically in ireland, brexit has been high on the agenda in these discussions. one thing the overt care was asked about was the latest labour party proposals, the proposals from jeremy corbyn, britain remaining in a permanent customs union. he said the proposal were interesting. the dup with a first party to meet with the irish prime minister afterwards and they said those talks were wide—ranging and good but when it came to the labour plan, the leader of the dup in westminster suggested it was not the way forward. on the labour party proposal, i read with interest whatjeremy corbyn has now belatedly come up with. i think it might be plan f or g or whatever it is. it does not have the support of his own party obviously either.

but the way to a majority for a deal in the united kingdom is with the conservative party and the dup. i don't believe theresa may is going to split her party in order to reach out to a jeremy corbyn who's going to find it very difficult to bring his own party along and he can't be relied upon to deliver the brexit which the prime minister believes people voted for in the referendum. the dup very opposed to the backstop, they will not want checks oi'i backstop, they will not want checks on the irish border on any circumstance. the sinn fein will say encourage the taoiseach to stand firm. they will hold him to account to continue to maintain a strong line on the backstop. the nationalist sdlp where the last

party into the talks and they the irish prime minister will be travelling to dublin for dinner with theresa may. she will be outlining what she wants to happen to the withdrawal agreement but ireland and the eu are clear there will be no renegotiation of the withdrawal agreement and the backstop is the bottom line. i don't think anyone expects a brexit break tonight but also all these meetings and conversations in ireland are sending out a signal that both british and irish governments are doing what they can to work something out around these complex issues. the eu and british negotiators meeting again on monday and the vote in the house of commons next week. again on monday and the vote in the house of commons next week. for more on this we're joined by webcam from dublin byjohn bruton — who was the taoiseach from 1994 to 1997. thank you forjoining us. is there

anything you think theresa may can say to leo vradakar to encourage him tojoin with her? say to leo vradakar to encourage him to join with her? i think she is looking for all parties to find majority in westminster but the scale of the defeat of her original proposal was such she will not get a majority simply by looking to own party and the dup. she will have to look across the house. i think she needs to come with the proposal that she can convince the european union she can convince the european union she is in a position to pass in parliament. the eu is not going to negotiate in circumstances where any offer they might meet with not pass because that would not be politically realistic. is there any sort of concession that dublin can make on the issue of the backstop that could conceivably help the prime minister get this through the

ice of comments? the prime minister has already negotiated this backstop. this is at ucatt because she believed it was right. —— this is ideal she agreed to. she believed to preserve the good friday agreement and good connections between britain and ireland. she wa nts to between britain and ireland. she wants to be forward an alternative, she needs to be sure it is at least as good as the backstop. so far we have had no detail at all from the british government as to what they could propose. ithink british government as to what they could propose. i think at this stage, it is a great pity we have not got a clear idea of what britain wa nts. not got a clear idea of what britain wants. we can assure you some pictures we have just received of the british prime minister arriving in dublin this evening for this talks with leo vradakar. that is the prime minister's motorcade. how

worried the thing people in dublin are about the prospect of a no—deal brexit? clearly it would be hugely damaging for the irish republic, wouldn't it? it would but brexit is not an irish idea. it is something which is being imposed on us because ofa which is being imposed on us because of a british decision. it wasn't a scottish decision or a northern ireland decision, both of those voted against brexit. england and wales are essentially other one is promoting brexit. they are promoting it in promoting brexit. they are promoting itina promoting brexit. they are promoting it in a fashion which has serious adverse effects on ireland which have not been taken into account by people in westminster. very good to talk to you, thank you forjoining us. talk to you, thank you forjoining us. the former irish prime minister in dublin. tributes have been paid to the oscar—nominated english actor, albert finney, who has died after a short illness. he was 82.

finney enjoyed a long and distinguished career on stage and screen. nick higham looks back at his life. albert finney came to fame in the early ‘60s, one of the new breed of tough—looking actors in gritty dramas about working—class life. the fishes never bite unless the bait is good. i won't get married until i am good and ready. he was a bookmaker‘s son and excelled at acting and sport in school. professional success came early. he played macbeth at 21 and his range was wide. on stage he played a working—class northern lad and john osborne's tortured luther in london and broadway. he turned down the film of lawrence of arabia but accepted the title role in tom jones. he directed himself in charlie bubbles,

more working—class grit. ladies and gentlemen we now come to my own reconstruction of the night of the murder. he then came perilously close to being typecast as hercule poirot. say what you have to say with speed and put the audience out of their misery. in the dresser he played a monstrous actor manager. finney had worked with the last grat actor manager laurence olivier and as a drama student had parodied his richard iii. we were walking with a limp and a hump and a very strange left hand and we used to press the elevator button to a class and say "i must take the lift to fencing". he was always a character actor.

playing a gay dublin bus conductor in a man of no importance. and in erin brokovich he returned to hollywood stardom as a gruff lawyer. whoever did this to you made a mistake and we will make him pay for it. in the gathering storm he proved a distinguished impersonator of winston churchill. look at me now. no power, no prospect of power. he was never a conventional star but he was a big actor, forceful, versatile and compelling.

albert finney has died at the age of 82. let us reflect on his extraordinary life and career. we can talk to the film director who directed him income shoe in 1971. thank you forjoining us, that was your directorial debut? it was and albert was very generous and put up with me. how was it to work with and how did he make the transition from stage to screen, he had been such a blow in stage actor and then he was a brilliant film actor? he could do either. he worked with very clever people in the cinema most of the time. carol rice and tony richardson we re time. carol rice and tony richardson were clever d i rectors. time. carol rice and tony richardson were clever directors. it was never a problem. what were his special

qualities? he was monumental. the idea that he has died is shocking for someone of my age. it is like a life has slid away. he was very charismatic, very attractive, obviously when he was young. a real, huge presence. people say he was one of that breed of finding young men millionaires? he was because that was when he was born and if he were my age in the late 50s, he was in saturday night sunday morning, he was like working class men in nottingham. he drank a pint of beer like a proper person, not like an actor. so in essence he was a proper man. nominated many times for oscars. i believe so. belief five

times. the thing he got the recognition he deserved as a star? he didn't one point. i do not think he wanted to be a star. after the mid—term jones, he went on the world for a year to get away from it. he did not find it comfortable to be a star. he didn't choose rules to be a star. he didn't choose rules to be a star. he didn't choose rules to be a star. he was in a film with audrey hepburn, he was crazy about orgy heparin. he would go to the cinema just to stay at her, it was very sweet. —— about audrey hepburn. just to stay at her, it was very sweet. -- about audrey hepburn. he was 82. his last film was skyfall with daniel craig. that is correct. he was very original and much more eccentric than a lot of stars are. he would choose old films to do. --

ordered thousands. was he one—of—a—kind in some way? ordered thousands. was he one-of-a-kind in some way? he was because he embodied his times. he was wonderful on saturday night and sunday morning. all the rest was propaganda, he was the real thing. maybe actors don't —— do get that opportunity every now and again. he had the opportunity to be discreet working class actor. there are very good actors around now and there is no need for them to be daunted by albert. and easy to work with? yes, he laughed a lot —— laughed a lot and light jokes like he laughed a lot —— laughed a lot and lightjokes like the rest of us. great to talk to you thank you. talking about albert finney has died at the age of 82. time through the

mr bezos, the world's richest man, has posted online what he says are emailed threats from the national enquirer‘s lawyers to publish intimate photographs of him and a woman he'd been having an affair with. american media, which owns the enquirer has said it acted lawfully and would thoroughly investigate the blackmail claims. dave lee reports. last month, the world's richest man, jeff bezos, said he was getting a divorce from mackenzie bezos, his wife of 25 years. very soon after that announcement, the national enquirer published a story about his extramarital affair with lauren sanchez, a former tv host. the magazine story included quotes from private messages sent between the couple. eager to know how the magazine came to possess that material, mr bezos paid for a private investigation. now, in an extra ordinary message posted online, mr bezos has shared what he says are e—mails from ami threatening to publish a number of intimate, private photographs of him

and ms sanchez unless his leak investigation is stopped. he said the publisher was also demanding he make a public statement, saying the stories in the magazine about his personal life were not politically motivated. in his message, mr mr bezos wrote... mr bezos said his ownership of the washington post newspaper had been a ‘complexifier‘ that made him an enemy to certain powerful people, specifically president trump, who has regularly criticised the newspaper and mr bezos on twitter. the president and ami chairman david pecker are said to be close friends. in december, ami admitted that it had, in co—ordination the trump campaign, paid hush money to a playboy model to keep quiet about an alleged affair with mr trump before he took office. neither the national enquirer nor its publisher have responded

to the bbc‘s request for comment. dave lee, bbc news, in san francisco. conservationists say grey seal colonies in norfolk are being threatened by tiny plastic pellets called nurdles. researchers says the beaches in the north of the county, which are important breeding grounds, are covered with the potentially toxic pellets. seals are known to ingest the nurdles through the food they eat. mike liggins reports. the seal colony at horsey on the norfolk coast. we already know seals are getting entangled in plastic. but what effect are micro plastics having on these animals? scientists from cambridge working for the conservation organisation flora and fauna international are looking at how plastic pellets — or "nurdles" — are getting into the environment. so i've heard of micro beads. yes. but i've never heard of nurdles before. yes. what's the difference,

apart from size? i'm not surprised you say that, most people have not heard of nurdles. they are both micro plastics. these are the microbeads. they are usually much smaller and we find them in cosmetics, toothpaste, things that we put on our face and we wash them down the drain. these nurdles are the building blocks of all plastic products that we use, it's the raw material of plastic production. just along the coast from horsey, at sea palling, we went looking for nurdles. and we found them. it's estimated there could be up to 53 billion nurdles in uk waters. the wind has been blowing the nurdles around the beach but even in the short time we've been looking, 15—20 minutes, we've found between 30 and 40 of them. so, at the moment you don't know that these nurdles are a problem for seals, but you think they might be — why is that? we don't know the exact long—term impact of nurdles, or pellet pollution on the seals, but we would expect,

like other micro plastics, that they will be eaten by the prey of seals. we also find micro plastics in seals, coming from fish. at the same time, what we know is that micro plastics are really good at sucking up contaminants from the water and releasing them to the animals that eat them and that is the big concern. for the people who love and look out for the seals, the idea that they might be troubled by plastic pellets is heartbreaking. they were here before we were, i suspect, and they will probably be here after we are gone. but, yes, look at them, you couldn't ask for a better sight than that, could you? they are relaxed, the breeding season is over, all they have got to do now is flop about, they will be moulting soon. volunteers will be scouring beaches across the world to try and provide a better picture of where and how many nurdles there are. the answer is unlikely to be good news for our seal populations. the headlines on bbc news...
