good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. the fight against fake news — mps call for far stricter regulation and a code of ethics for tech giants like facebook. shamima begum, who ran away to syria tojoin is, appeals for the british public to show her and her new baby sympathy and allow her to return to the uk. and there's been a dramatic rise in serious incidents reported by home care providers for people with learning disabilities in england. we have an exclusive report. the most radical train fare proposals in a generation. simpler ticketing, cheaper peak prices, and "tap in— tap out" systems for the whole country — if the plans are taken on. and in sport... one of the world's most successful track athletes, caster semenya, will today challenge controversial plans to limit testosterone levels in female athletes. good morning, we have a lot of cloud

and rain in the southern half of the uk. the northern half of the uk, sunshine and showers but some heavy and sundry with hail in the north—west. more in 15 minutes. it's monday the 18th of february. facebook deliberately broke data privacy laws and needs much stricter regulation, according to a highly critical report by mps this morning. the commons culture committee is calling for a compulsory code of ethics for major tech companies, to help stop the spread of so—called fake news online. our media editor amol rajan reports. it's totally fake news. just fake. the term fake news has entered the mainstream in recent years. in america, there has been grave concern that the election of donald trump may have owed something to the interference by russia in the presidential election. an investigation by former fbi director robert mueller is looking into the allegations. the nearest thing to that in britain is the culture select committee's report on fake

news and disinformation. its findings, published this morning, are scathing about technology companies and the legal and regulatory framework in which they operate. the committee says facebook intentionally violated both data privacy laws and anti—competition laws. it says a new code of conduct, overseen by an independent regulator, should be set up. and it claims that current electoral law is not fit for purpose. facebook say they have taken extensive steps to weed out illegal or harmful content on its platform, including fake news. but coming so soon after the outcry over molly russell, a 14—year—old who committed suicide after seeing pictures of self—harm on facebook owned instagram, it shows that technology companies and those who legislate against them are entering a new era. the london teenager who ran away tojoin so—called islamic state four years ago, says people should sympathise with her. in an interview with sky news, 19—year—old shamima begum said she had no regrets, but again appealed for help to return to the uk with her newborn baby. colin campbell has more.

she is the schoolgirl who ran away to join is, but who is now asking to return to the uk. pictured in today's newspapers in a syrian refugee camp with her newborn son, shamima begum is appealing for public sympathy. her family are asking the british government to show compassion and help them get her home. they would like the government to recognise its responsibility to a now one—day old child and to extend every help that can be given to have that child repatriated to the uk. she travelled from east london to syria with her two school friends in 2015, but fled fighting a fortnight ago. the government has said it wants to prevent people who went to join a terrorist group returning to britain. but ministers can see that people like shamima begum, who have only british nationality, may ultimately be allowed to come back. if you are dealing with a british citizen who wants to return to this country. they are not a dual citizen, so their only citizenship

is british citizenship, then we are obliged, at some stage, at least, to take them back. that doesn't mean we can't put in place the necessary measures to monitor their activities and make sure they are not misbehaving. but to get back to the uk from syria, shamima begum will require travel documents. her family are requesting them from the british government, and say they understand, if she makes it home, she is likely to face police investigation and possibly a criminal trial. colin campbell, bbc news. later in the programme we'll be speaking to the begum family's lawyer. that's at ten past 8. train companies have proposed major changes to ticketing on britain's railways. the rail delivery group says the current system is outdated and overcomplicated. it wants to see more flexible fares and a roll—out of electronic systems, like london's oyster card, transport correspondent tom burridge reports.

tap—in, tap—out travel has been the norm in london for years. now, rail companies say there should be a similar style system for passengers across the country. swipe and you would automatically be charged the cheapest fare for your journey. and if you travel the same route often, your weekly rate would be automatically capped. it is a far cry from the system we have today, which train companies say is overcomplicated and full of anomalies. for example, a single can sometimes be almost as expensive as a return. the industry wants more flexible fares for long—distance journeys, to avoid people rushing for the first off—peak service after the rush hour. passenger groups say change is needed but worry there will be winners and losers. the issues go beyond the railways. this is about ticketing across rail, bus, tram, metro, and other forms of transport. we have got a ticketing system and a fare system that doesn't work for seamless door—to—door journeys.

it doesn't work for people day in, day out, travelling to work, going to education or going to the shops. we need a simpler system that works across all forms of public transport. the train companies say the average price of a ticket would not change under today's proposals. they consulted nearly 20,000 passengers. but real change to the way we buy tickets could take years. and, ultimately, it will be down to the government. tom burridge, bbc news. plans to overhaul the way we recycle plastic are to be unveiled by the government. it's expected a deposit return scheme will be introduced for bottles. but big retailers have been accused of trying to water down the proposals. our environment analyst, roger harrabin explains. the government is committed to introducing a deposit return scheme on plastic bottles and other drinks containers. lobbyists say the deposit should only apply to small on the go bottles. they are the ones

most likely to find their way into the sea. environmentalists are fighting for a scheme for all drinks containers. many family size bottles end in the ocean to, they say. also the flow of materials for recycling would be improved if all containers face a deposit. in their waste consultation, ministers will decide whether to back industry, or whether to back the environmentalists. what goes into your bins is another issue for debate. the government says it will standardise rules for the whole country to end confusion over what you can recycle and what you cannot. people who make fishing gear may be made to pay for the cost of the marine litter it creates. in order to tackle dumping, the makers of furniture, mattresses, carpets and tyres might also be obliged to pay for the ultimate cost of dealing with them. it is a radical shake—up of the way we deal with waste. tributes have been paid

to the labour mp paul flynn, who's died at the age of 8a. he'd represented his constituency of newport west, in wales, for more than 30 years. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, called him an "independent thinker", who'd be greatly missed. firefighters have tackled a large blaze on moorland in greater manchester overnight. at its height, the fire covered 100 square metres of a hill near stalybridge, close to the scene of last summer's major fires. it was extinguished within two and a half hours. the cause is not yet known. one of the world's most successful track athletes, caster semenya, will today challenge in court controversial plans to limit testosterone levels in female athletes. the sport's governing body wants athletes with a higher—than—normal level of male hormones to take medication before they compete, to ensure races are fair. 0ur sport news correspondent, richard conway reports. caster semenya has been dominant in the 800 metres for the past decade.

the south african star has won gold at the olympics and, this autumn, she wants another world championship medal. but that quest, and her long—term future in the sport, are now in doubt. new regulations will require female athletes with high testosterone levels to take medication to lower the level of the hormone for six months prior to competing. her lawyers will claim that is discriminatory, arguing her condition, known as hyperandrogynousism, arguing her condition, known as hyperandrogenism, is naturally occurring. she also has the backing of the south african government. why is it that a woman athlete who is said to be having high levels of testosterone has to compete with men? whereas a man with lower levels of testosterone and high levels of oestrogen, somehow is not allowed to compete with women. where is fairness, gender—wise, there?

so, yes, she has been targeted because she is a woman. however, the governing body of athletics, the iaaf, says it must act, given its belief elevated testosterone levels provide female runners significant performance advantages over their rivals. this case has been a long time in the making. in 2009, caster semenya won her first world title. in 2011, the iaaf introduced its first hyperandrogenism regulations. but, in 2015, the regulation was suspended when an indian sprinter, dutee chand, won a case against them. then, in 2017, the iaaf published new research said medication to counter differences of sexual development in female athletes must be taken. the science behind the research will be under scrutiny this week. a judgment is expected in late march and the outcome will have far—reaching implications for both caster semenya's competitive future, along with issues of ethics and gender within her sport. richard conway, bbc news. we've all heard about firefighters being called to rescue

a cat stuck up a tree. but it's not usually like this. this is a mountain lion that was spotted perched on a branch 50 feet up near a house in california. the fire crews had to tranquilise it and lower it down with a harness, before releasing it back into the wild. that is an amazing picture. it looks like it is about to fall out of the tree. good morning. remember on question of sport when they used to put pictures upside down? i'm sorry. it's ok. i forget i am i'm sorry. it's ok. iforget i am on i'm sorry. it's ok. i forget i am on the telly sometimes! 12 minutes past six. it is when we

both forget we are in trouble. are we on telly? nobody dolby! be careful what you say, we live on bbc one. —— nobody told me. a whopper of the game in the cup. nobody sure if either of those two will be at their clubs next season. a trophy might help their causes. they meet in the fa cup fifth round tonight. it's a repeat of last year's final. can united finally end their chelsea curse in the cup? three more sides are already in the pot for the quarter final draw. wolves, swansea and crystal palace — who beat doncaster rovers 2—0. wigan warriors were beaten in the final of the club world challenge by sydney roosters. the australian side's fourth world title draws them level with wigan on the all—time list the man from melbourne triumphed in cardiff. 2010 world snooker champion neil robertson survived a fightback from stuart bingham to win the welsh 0pen. it comes 12 years after he last won the tournament.

ido i do not know where that decade and a bit has gone. the ticker tape. a big job clearing that up. a bbc breakfast investigation has found a huge rise in the number of abuse allegations made against carers visiting vulnerable people in their own homes. the fivefold increase in seven years has led to a former care minister to call for an urgent review, to ensure that people can live safe and independent lives in the community. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin reports. i put my daughter in there thinking she would be safe, like a home from home, but the moment you are told your daughter has been sexually assaulted, there are no words. they tell me about a sister and daughter sexually and financially abused in the home they shared. a support worker was eventually jailed, the home they shared. a support worker was eventuallyjailed, 15 yea rs worker was eventuallyjailed, 15 years after the first complaint was

made. cuts to staffing after a second complaint meant he worked nights here alone and review said his crime should have been prevented. we were let down by every single organisation and all you get is perhaps sorry, lessons will be learned. and it happens again and again. bbc breakfast as reported on the drive to keep people with learning disabilities out of institutions, to support them to live independently in their own home. but is that support always save? we asked the regulator for data on all the alerts they receive when things appear to go wrong. the figures, spanning seven years, have never been published before. they show 85,000 incidents or allegations of abuse at almost 16,000 police incidents, not all involving support workers. there were unexpected deaths of people under the age of 65

and tens of thousands more alerts and tens of thousands more alerts and supported living. by last year, these alerts were the highest level ever with increases of up to 360%. the sea qc says much of this is down to better reporting in a growing sector. any increase in data has to be concerning because we are talking about people. we make sure we direct resources to the right places at the right time, so we can keep people safe. are you confident this sector is safe? we have reported widely the sector is fragile and there are certain points in the sector that have tipped. this former care minister says 7 billion pound cuts have taken their toll. it calls for an urgent review by the government and the commission given the scale the figures demonstrate. what are they going to do to ensure people living in the community are safe? we

are meeting joe in his home where he lives with support. he has been here a long time. 22 years. he was about nine when i started with him! the amount paid forjoe's car —— care package has been frozen. his mum says many councils are not willing 01’ says many councils are not willing or able to pay. there are contracts where your charity say it cannot be done at that price and they are not going to do it? absolutely. it is an important and can be difficultjob. the government is investing £300 million next year to pay for social ca re million next year to pay for social care and said reform will be announced soon. good lives well lived in the community is the goal. all eyes will be on the long—awaited social care green pair to see if thatis social care green pair to see if that is achievable. let us know what do you think about

that. you can find is on twitter and facebook and social media. and carol has a lovely rainbow. today will be a day of sunshine and showers in many parts of the uk. it will not be as warm over the weekend. 0n will not be as warm over the weekend. on friday, 18 degrees is what we hit in north wales. today more likely to be 11—12. we have cloud across england and wales in particular this morning, producing showers and spots of rain. you can see the speckled effect in the north. here we have showers, as well across scotland, north and west, northern ireland and north—west england. some of those will be heavy with hail and possibly thunder. showers pushing towards the south—east meanwhile. temperatures... in between the showers and rain we will see sunshine. this evening and overnight a lot of showers will be killed off

by high pressure and with clear skies it will be a cold night with frost here and there. some fog, as well. tomorrow's starting with clear skies and under high pressure. tomorrow we have fronts from the atla ntic tomorrow we have fronts from the atlantic that will introduce cloud initially and then we will see rain. we start on a cold note with frost here and there and there will be sunshine, particularly the further east you travel but you can see the cloud building, and in comes rain and raving much of the day in northern ireland and getting into western wales, north—west england and south—west england, western scotla nd and south—west england, western scotland through the day. as we move into wednesday, and thursday, still we have the yellow plume, meaning it will still be mild. wednesday not as mild as thursday and into the weekend but wednesday is not bad

with fronts coming in across the north introducing rain. tending to ease through the day. it will be a bright day and there will be some sunshine around. temperatures up to about 13 and bear in mind at this time in the north, we are looking at six and in the south, nine. thursday and thereafter, yellow across the board. the jet stream and thereafter, yellow across the board. thejet stream is and thereafter, yellow across the board. the jet stream is to the north and high pressure dominates. moving ina north and high pressure dominates. moving in a clockwise direction so we are sucking up southerly winds. thursday somewhere we could easily hit possibly 15. heading into friday oh, she is editing the playlist. i cannot believe we just lost her like that. she is ok. we will be with her later but that is the end of the weather

for now. we will sort that out. that was dramatic. it was. we can bring you up to date with another story this morning. viewers of the new cbeebies series moon and me were treated to a rather nice surprise last week, when one of the show‘s songs was performed by none other than michael buble. and, it turns out, it happened thanks to an interview michael did with us here on breakfast. it was actually mean. finally i have a claim to fame. it was with us, actually. we'll ask the show‘s producer in just a moment. first, let's take a look back at the moment that started it all. you are a fan of igglepiggle. let me tell you something. people on aeroplanes hate me, because at least 50 times in any flight he will hear... # bom—bom—bom, yes my name is igglepiggle. # igglepiggle iggle wiggle. # yes, my name is igglepiggle. # igglepiggle iggle iggle whoo.#

i remember that moment very well. and we'rejoined now by the show‘s creater and producer, andrew davenport. you saw that and you were inspired by the interview. what happened? i was pretty surprised to see these igglepiggle song sung by none other than michael buble and so, as a result, because we were developing the new show scrum v. it had a new song called the silly song —— called moon and me out we thought it would be amazing to ask michael to sing the song but later in the production

i thought if we are going to contact him this is probably the last chance we got in touch and amazingly he said he would love to do it. extraordinary. i did not queue him to sing that. he is obviously a huge fan of four example in the night garden. apparently, yes. to know the song as well as he did he must have seen it. and he is singing a new song for you. some people with children have probably seen this. it is called... # oh to be in horsey land, all together hand—in—hand. # horsey land is there for you and me. # horsey, horsey, horsey. # if there were a horsey in the house, a horsey in the house. # bigger than a mouse # if there were a horsey in the house, a horsey in the house. # the horsey would be

bigger than the house.# it has made us smile. it has made lots of people smile. there is something special hearing michael buble singing a song like that? there really is. and to have him associated with the show, it does kind of bridge a gap that sometimes can open up between a child's understanding of the show and an adult‘s understanding of the show. 0ne adult‘s understanding of the show. one thing! adult‘s understanding of the show. one thing ifind adult‘s understanding of the show. one thing i find a lot with this show and in the night garden to an extent, adult viewers tended not to be able to completely understand what is going on whereas children tended to get it straightaway. someone like michael buble bridges the gap between the two audiences in a fantastic way and that really helps. i think he was quite involved in the production? he was very

particular about how he wanted to sing itand particular about how he wanted to sing it and he wanted the song, at a low— key, sing it and he wanted the song, at a low—key, so he could sing it in the lower pa rt low—key, so he could sing it in the lower part of his vocal range, because he felt in that way, it would become a warm sound and would be appropriate for the very young audience, which i thought was incredible, considering it is a silly song, that he was taking it so incredibly seriously. i think that is an indicator of why he is who he is, that care and attention to detail and respect for the audience. moon and me is new. it is designed ona moon and me is new. it is designed on a doll's house. it is a story of some toys, favourite toys that live ina toy some toys, favourite toys that live in a toy house and one of them is magical and when the moon shines on the toy house she comes to life. she

discovers the other toys in the house are asleep and writes a letter to the moon, which is received by a character called moon ba by, to the moon, which is received by a character called moon baby, who applies the magic to wake up the other toys and they have adventures. and the story is told by nina, who sings the other songs in the show. this is one song, but many others are sung in the story by the storyteller. and that michael buble song is not going outjust once in the show? it will be played whenever the show? it will be played whenever the toys want to hear something from the toys want to hear something from the radio. the radio only plays one song, but it is a great song and we are very happy about that. and grateful and grateful to you for starting this off. you have made possibly my year! thank you. it is so possibly my year! thank you. it is so nice to speak to you. andrew davenport. that is such fun. the

power, michael buble sings for me and look... it is a real earworm. and the register, to make sure... what was his reason? he could get the right tone for the programme. moon and me is on cbeebies at 5:45, and on the bbc iplayer — where the episode starring michael buble is called ‘the silly song'. we have michael buble and we have dolly parton on the programme throughout the morning. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning... as rail companies say they want to overhaul fares and make them simpler, nina will be taking a look at how it could work. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad.

a man has been arrested and charged with murder after getting off a flight at gatwick airport. it's over the death of doorman tudor simionov, who was attacked and died outside a party in mayfair on new year's day. 23—year—old nor hamada, is the fourth man to be charged and is due to appear at westminster magistrates' court this morning. london fashion week continues on the catwalk this morning, but there have been protests demanding that the industry reduces its huge carbon footprint. it's the world's largest polluter after the oil industry — and so bbc earth has teamed up with the british fashion council to launch this film. this planet is suffocating because of our increasing desire for fast fashion. it aims to make fashion labels and consumers think twice about the impact they're having on the environment. the plan is to reduce the demand for "fast—fashion". more details will be unveiled later today. a nightclub in bexleyheath

is being credited with raising the self—esteem of people with disabilities and helping their social life to flourish. the nyne bar is putting on exclusive nights for adults with learning difficulties, giving them a safe environment to meet new people and let their hair down. demand for "shine" is high, partly due to the lack of social activities for disabled people. i feel more confident going up the bar and seeing friends, new friends, making new friends, at the club. really nice, really friendly. it's also feels everyone is the same as well. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes this morning — minor delays on the piccadilly line because of the stuck train and... and the holloway road is closed

southbound approaching highbury corner because of waterworks. now, the weather, with kate. good morning. not as cold as it was this time yesterday. quite a bit of cloud keeping the temperature up. today, largely cloudy with the chance of showers. these showers feeding from the south and west. some brighter spells this morning. more cloud this afternoon. showers could merge together leading to prolonged spells. temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius. 0vernight, tonight, there are showers, and the cloud will clear away to the east, the skies will clear, the temperatures fall, the temperatures falls, minimum temperatures down to low single figures. it leads the way to a bright start tomorrow. plenty of sunshine. cloud feeding in, in the afternoon. dry weather for much of this week, temperatures tomorrow around 11. steadily the temperature climbs toward friday. plenty of sunshine, 15 or 16

by the end of the week. again, feeling like spring. va nessa vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 6.30am. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment. but also on breakfast this morning — nina will be taking a look at the pros and cons of running a business from home, as the number of people becoming so—called "homepreneurs" rises. # 9to 5... we'll hear from country music legend dolly parton, on turning her hit film 9 to 5 into a musical. and we'll meet the woman who's

run seven marathons, on seven continents, in seven days. we'll find out how she did it. that makes me think, ouch! but she will be here later. more from her later. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. facebook deliberately broke data privacy laws and needs much stricter regulation, according to a highly critical report by mps this morning. the commons culture committee is calling for a compulsory code of ethics for major tech companies, to help stop the spread of so—called "fake news" online. facebook says it is pleased to have made a significant contribution to the committee s investigation and is open to meaningful regulation. the london teenager who ran away to join is four years ago says people should sympathise with her. in an interview with sky news, 19—year—old shamima begum said she had no

regrets, but appealed for help to return to the uk with her newborn baby. ms begum's family say they're "very concerned" about the child's welfare. train companies have proposed major changes to ticketing on britain's railways. the rail delivery group says the current system is outdated and over—complicated. it wants to see more flexible fares and a roll—out of electronic systems, like london's 0yster card, across the country. plans to overhaul the way we recycle plastic are due to be unveiled by the government later. it's expected a deposit return scheme will be introduced for bottles. environmental campaigners are calling for all bottles to be included. but big retailers have been accused of trying to water down the proposals, arguing that large bottles shouldn't be subject to a deposit. tributes have been paid to the labour mp paul flynn who's died at the age of 8a. he'd represented his constituency of newport west in wales for more than 30 years. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn called him an "independent thinker",

who'd be greatly missed. fire fighters have tackled a large fire on moorland in greater manchester overnight. at its height, the fire covered 100 square metres of a hill near stalybridge, close to the scene of last summer's major fires. it was extinguished within two and a half hours. the cause is not yet known. you have those regular stories about cats getting saved up a tree. this isa cats getting saved up a tree. this is a slightly unusual version. this is a slightly unusual version. this isa is a slightly unusual version. this is a big cat. this is a mountain lion which was spotted perched on a branch 50 feet up in the air near a house in california. the fire crews had to tranquilise it and lower it down with a harness, before releasing it back into the wild. it looks like it is about to pounce.

such a beautiful animal. 0nce it looks like it is about to pounce. such a beautiful animal. once it had been brought safely down, it was released back into the wild. without tranquillising, you don't wa nt to without tranquillising, you don't want to go up to help a big beast like that. actually they did and all is well. good morning. time now for the sport. a busy weekend in the fa cup. both of these men over there are basically playing for theirjobs tonight. so much to play for tonight in the fifth round of the fa cup. chelsea host manchester united at stamford bridge with both bosses knowing some silverware could make all the differenceto theirjob prospects. 0le gunnar solskjaer hasn't got the permanent gig. can you imagine if in

a couple of months there is that picture of him lifting the fa cup, a very brave person would not give him the manchester united job, don't you think? he agrees with me. last year in the final, eden hazard's penalty made all the difference. that was the second year in a row they'd beaten united in the competition. n'golo kante scored a fine winner as chelsea won 1—0 in the quarterfinals back in 2017. jose mourinho was in charge of united for those matches. mourinho was chelsea boss in 2007 when didier drogba's extra—time winner sunk united. interestingly, too — that was the last game 0le gunnar solsjaer played for manchester united. now in charge — is he going to revisit these past defeats to motivate his players in 2019? i'm not going to use the clip for that game, that's for sure! i came on the last five minutes, was going to take

a penalty, and then we lost. but we have done well against chelsea down there. but we have also lost a few times. let's see what kind of messages we give them before the game. i knew that united wasn't going through a very good moment before but i knew the value of the team and i knew that they were going to come back. obviously, what ole has done in this small amount of time is quite remarkable. no shocks from the three fifth round ties on sunday when premier league crystal palace had an awkward trip to third tier doncaster rovers but scored twice in the first half for a 2—0 win. wolves also overcame lower league opposition.

bristol city of the championship were beaten 1—0. it's the first time in 16 years wolves have reached the last eight. they'll bejoined in the draw by swansea city. they came from behind to beat brentford 4—1. daniel james' solo effort was the pick of the goals. it was the fifth round in the women's fa cup, too. also a repeat of last year's final, as chelsea played arsenal. just like last year too, chelsea came out on top, winning 3—0. there were also wins for the likes of manchester city and liverpool although second—tier durham knocked out bristol city. celtic captain scott brown was sent off for celebrating his last—minute winner against kilmarnock. it had looked like the match had been heading for a goalless draw but brown's deflected strike gave brendan rodgers' side all three points. the celebration then led to celtic fans running on the pitch and brown received a second yellow card. motherwell earned a dramatic 2—1win over hearts. in the 93rd minute, david turnbull‘s free kick was terribly misjudged by hearts keeper colin doyle, allowing the ball to bobble over

the line for the winner. eventually. it really did bobble, only just england and australia will do battle in the ashes later this year. in rugby league's club world challenge, the aussies came out on top. australia's sydney roosters beat england's wigan warriors by 20—8 in the one—off match between the two top club sides from each country. it's a record equalling fourth title for the roosters. australian neil robertson survived an evening session wobble to win the welsh open for the first time in 12 years. he led stuart bingham 7—3 before the englishman levelled. robertson recovered to take the two frames he needed. he's climbed to eighth in the world rankings. dave ryding claimed his best finish at a world skiing championships with ninth in the men's slalom. a poor first run left him in 20th place but he was one of the quickest in the second to bump him up to the top 10. austria's marcel hirscher took gold.

now, when your dad is a grand slam tennis winner and your sister is the 12th best golfer in the world, the pressure to win could be pretty great. well, now, nelly korda has joined her successful family by winning the women's australian open golf. dad petr won the aussie open tennis in 1998, brother sebastian won the boys' tennis title last year, and sisterjessica won the australia open golf seven years ago. i'm veryjealous. and in what has now become tradition, the children have all copied dad's celebration too. that is such a great picture. now, let's show you some incredible pictures from overnight. they're from the famous daytona race in florida. one of the cars slammed into the wall and started

a chain reaction that involved more than two dozen vehicles. it looks almost like a cartoon crashed, i can say this because nobody was hurt. not surprisingly a red flag stopped the race for a lengthy cleanup. but everybody was fine. not the cars but the humans. once you are in that, there is nothing you can do. let's take a look at today's papers. on most of the front pages this morning is shamima begum. the telegraph quotes her as saying, "show me some sympathy," as she's pictured alongside her newborn baby boy. but it's clear what the sun thinks of that appeal. its headline is "sympathy? you must be kidding".

it has a quote from tory mp david davies who says, "the only thing she regrets is that is lost". while the mail has a picture of shamima begum and her baby, it also has an exclusive which it says shows the uk's top online gambling site is offering cash incentives to players who lose, to ensure they carry on spending. and the express' main story this morning is a daily pill which could treat arthritis. is and a big picture of dolly parton who will be appearing on this programme in just a few minutes. just to be clear, she is not life, sadly. ifind her so totally brilliant, bright, feisty. a fantastic businesswoman as well, she has kept control over so much of a business empire. utterly brilliant. and not at all starry. she wakes up at 2am, does most of her work at

3am, 4am. add is her hair done at that point at 2am! she says she has a lot of different widths, her hair never looks bad. —— wigs. and what have we got over there? in the business pages? loganair will be taking on some of the flight services here, specifically between aberdeen and newcastle and european destinations, possibly across to london city which is government subsidised. people use these fascinate shuttle —— satellite shuttle services regularly.

now, when is she is not a cheese? made from plants. —— cheese not a cheese? there has been a complaint saying vegan products can never be called cheeses. plant —based products. and what have you got? ryan giggs in the guardian newspaper. a great interview. an in—depth interview talking about what it was like working as assistant boss at manchester united. and now, he is looking at ole gunnar solskjaer, his old team—mate, and he talks about the difficulty about being the wales boss and having such

a big gaps between games, and the psychology of maintaining focus whilst not getting distracted by results and not worrying too much. and very quickly here. alexis sanchez, what a tricky time he has had. brilliant at times, rubbish currently. ole gunnar solskjaer is insisting he will come good because he is like tomato ketchup, like a ketchup bottle. you keep hitting the bottle, the ketchup bottle, and all of the goals will come. ketchup bottle problems! one other one, planning permission. the world's smallest picture! worth looking at.

can you see, this postbox, somebody has widened their gates at a house in birmingham, it is blocked by this postbox, but they did it without getting planning permission. and demanding the postbox should be relocated. the assumption is they can't block my driveway. the postbox had been there for 100 years. the driveway has been widened. alleged unauthorised works, say the council, subject to enforcement investigation. carol suddenly disappeared from our screens. carol suddenly disappeared from our screens. she is back. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. hopefully i will be here to stay, a

technical error. cloud in the south first thing. but equally some sunshine. a breezy day particularly in the north and west. this weather front enhancing the showers. a cloudy start in the south, some showers crossing england and wales. showers across western and northern isles scotland, northern ireland and north—west england continuing into the afternoon, some heavy and boundary with hail. aberdeenshire has some sunshine —— thundery. western wales could see the odd shower. the south—west losers the

early rain. the south—east hangs on to the rain. this evening, we start to the rain. this evening, we start to lose a lot of the showers as high pressure builds in. we hang on to hq. and a cold night. as we head on into tomorrow, a fair bit of sunshine. the cloud will build from the west as the weather fronts come our way. in the afternoon, that will move into scotland, north—west england and western wales. temperatures are similarto western wales. temperatures are similar to today. tomorrow, 11 or 12. wednesday, more fronts will bring in some rain. further south,

wednesday, more fronts will bring in some rain. furthersouth, bright spells. the temperatures slowly picking up, 13 degrees in the south—east. at the end of the week, we still have high pressure dominating. keeping a lot of those weather fronts at bay in the atlantic. but it isa fronts at bay in the atlantic. but it is a southerly wind. these yellow colours mean it will be milder. on thursday, we could see 17 degrees. on friday and saturday, up to 18, it even more. but the weekend forecast can change. time to get your shorts out! thank you. i was checking the

weather for a friday and the fly past. i might ask carol specifically. it says full sunshine and really warm, about 16, it could be perfect for sheffield. it will be live here on the programme. double fingers crossed. founding and running businesses from home is apparently becoming more popular. nina's looking into so—called "homepreneurs" this morning. yes, that's right, according to a report from barclays more than a third of uk companies are run from wherever their founder lives. that's up 3% over the past five years. in the latest in our series on start—ups, i'm going to find out what the opportunities and challenges are of running a home business. first, let's hearfrom sophie smith who makes and sells candles out of used wine bottles

from her kitchen in eccles. a lots of it has been trial and error, with the actual making process, and the business side of things as well. it can be a bit lonely sometimes. it becomes more apparent if you have big decisions to make, it could just be something really small, or something bigger like a financial decision. it is easy to not have a cut—off point. when i am here, i alwaysjust kind of think it's always an opportunity to work on my business. so, yes, the washing up probably gets neglected if i can see an opportunity to make more candles. it is a creative mess, that's what my housemate says. ican imagine i can imagine how that idea came about. with me now is emma jones, founder of enterprise nation which advises and supports small businesses. she started her first company from her home. interesting that we have seen a

rise. it is great to see but there are rise. it is great to see but there a re lots of rise. it is great to see but there are lots of reasons, 62nd commute, less costly to run a business from home, and so many are starting a side hustle, alongside their dayjob which means they are working on their business at night or at weekends when you are at home. so, lots of reasons, but mainly financial and that quick commute. you will be entering areas you are not necessarily familiar with, dealing with finances for example. it can be scary. it can be scary. loads it can be scary. loads of it can be scary. loads of people it can be scary. loads of people are doing it. the great thing for anyone starting a business now is there is so starting a business now is there is so much support available. if you

know how to make candles but not the accounts, maybe looking for help with social media, my organisation and others can give free support. there is no excuse why anyone shouldn't start a business. interestingly, over a third of those said they felt isolated. you don't have that interaction day—to—day. when i started my firm from a home base, there wasn't that much outside. but now, co—working faces —— spaces are great. it means you can make the most of your productivity by being focused, you can mix with other people. great for

their mental health but good for the wealth of the business, meeting people on site and doing deals. please hang around. we will be asking the audience, if you are about to start a business, we would love to hear from you. please get in touch. homepreneurs, we want to find a new word. one in five say they work at home in their pyjamas. we should take that on!|j home in their pyjamas. we should take that on! i don't think that is a good idea! when you are writing, you had to go in the full sown —— zone. 9 to 5 was one of the defining films of the 1980s.

it tells the story of three female office workers who take their sexist boss hostage. almost a0 years on, who better to adapt it for the stage than dolly parton herself. i caught up with the country music legend to hear all about it. dolly parton, what an honour to meet you, thank you for talking to us. the look is so clever, and so specific, what was it inspired by? there was a town tramp, trollop and i thought she was beautiful. i said i would grow up to be trash because i thought that was a look. so i grew up to be trash! but i like to think i'm a little more than trash but i always loved the look, it seemed to fit my personality more than just plain stuff. i like to be flashy and gaudy and be seen. # nine to five for service and devotion.

you are here because of the 9 to 5 musical which is out now. looking back, the themes, the film came out so many decades ago and the themes are still the same, about equality and fairness, what you think about that? we are getting another chance to revamp this. to throw more light on a subject that needs addressing. when the movie came out a0 years ago it did a lot of good a lot of things and opened up doors. as always, there is still work to be done and improvements to be made. this gives us another opportunity to bring the subject up again for equal pay and harassment in the workplace. i am not your wife or your mother or even your mistress. what? lam youremployee. as such, i expect to be treated equally with a little dignity and a little respect.

it's interesting watching, many of the lines are the same in the film as the musical, and they still get a laugh. i wrote a couple of new pieces for it. we took out the fantasy scene and the song of hey boss. i tried to address the issues, it's not all men, just some bad men. i've worked for a lot of good men, too. i think it is a wonderful time for women and we're making progress. 9 to 5, there are rumours of a follow—up, will you be involved? of course, lily, jane and i will be doing a sequel we have talked about the years. i used to joke otherwise we'll have to call it 95! with three new young girls still working at the old company,

the story is they wonder what happened to these three women who make those changes all those years ago. they find us in the country running successful businesses. so we then have more fun. it should be fun. nice to see you. thank you very much indeed. and amazing woman. in tribute, we would love to hear your favourite dolly parton songs. you can't beat kenny rogers and dolly parton. jolene. to get in touch with us. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. a man has been arrested

and charged with murder after getting off a flight at gatwick airport. it's over the death of doorman tudor simionov who was attacked outside a party in mayfair on new year's day. 23—year—old nor hamada is the fourth man to be charged over the killing. london fashion week continues on the catwalk this morning but there have been calls for the industry to reduce its huge carbon footprint. fashion is the world's largest polluter after the oil industry, and so bbc earth has teamed up with the british fashion council to launch this film. this planet is suffocating because of our increasing desire for fast fashion. it aims to make fashion labels and consumers think twice about the impact they're having on the environment. the plan is for london fashion week to spearhead less demand for "fast—fashion". more details will be unveiled today. a nightclub in bexleyheath is being credited with raising

the self—esteem of people with disabilities and helping their social life to flourish. the nyne bar is putting on exclusive nights for adults with learning difficulties. it's becoming more popular — as there's a lack of social activities for disabled people. i feel more confident going up the bar and seeing friends, new friends, making new friends, at the club. really nice, really friendly. it's also feels everyone is the same, as well. let's take a look at the travel situation now. on the trains — good news. southeastern services are running again on the bexleyheath line. it's been closed since last week following a landslip. on the roads, the holloway road is closed southbound approaching highbury corner for water works. now the weather with kate. good morning.

not as cold as it was this time yesterday. quite a bit of cloud keeping the temperature up. today, largely cloudy with the chance of showers. these showers feeding from the south and west. some brighter spells this morning. more cloud this afternoon. showers could merge together leading to prolonged spells. temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius. those showers and the cloud will clear away to the east, the skies will clear, the temperatures fall, minimum down to low single figures. it leads the way to a bright start tomorrow. plenty of sunshine. cloud feeding in, in the afternoon. dry weather for much of this week, temperatures tomorrow around 11. steadily the temperature climbs toward friday. plenty of sunshine, 15 or 16 by the end of the week. again, feeling like spring. if you live in kingston upon thames —

new parking charges are set to be introduced to kingston in a bid to tackle pollution. vanessa feltz has more on that on bbc radio london. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. the fight against fake news — mps call for far stricter regulation and a code of ethics for tech giants like facebook. shamima begum, who ran away to syria tojoin is, appeals for the british public to show her and her new baby sympathy and allow her to return to the uk. i put my daughter in there thinking she would be safe. and a dramatic rise in serious incidents reported by home care providers for people with learning

disabilities in england. we have an exclusive report. the most radical train fare proposals in a generation. simpler ticketing, cheaper peak prices, and "tap—in, tap—out" systems for the whole country — if the plans are taken on. one of the world's most successful runners, caster semenya, will today challenge controversial plans to limit testosterone levels in female athletes. we'll catch up with country music legend dolly parton as she turns hit film 9 to 5 into a musical. you morning, it is a cloudy and damp start across parts of southern england and wales. in the north of the country, sunshine and showers and some of the showers in the north—west will be heavy and sundry. more details in 15 minutes. it's monday the 18th of february. our top story. facebook deliberately broke data privacy laws and needs much stricter regulation, according to a highly critical

report by mps this morning. the commons culture committee is calling for a compulsory code of ethics for major tech companies, to help stop the spread of so—called fake news online. our media editor amol rajan reports. it's totally fake news. just fake. the term fake news has entered the mainstream in recent years. in america, there has been grave concern that the election of donald trump may have owed something to the interference by russia in the presidential election. an investigation by former fbi director robert mueller is looking into the allegations. the nearest thing to that in britain is the culture select committee's report on fake news and disinformation. its findings, published this morning, are scathing about technology companies and the legal and regulatory framework in which they operate. the committee says facebook intentionally violated both data privacy laws and anti—competition laws. it says a new code of conduct, overseen by an independent regulator, should be set up. and it claims that current electoral law is not fit for purpose. facebook say they have taken

extensive steps to weed out illegal or harmful content on its platform, including fake news. but coming so soon after the outcry over molly russell, the 14—year—old who committed suicide after seeing pictures of self—harm on facebook—owned instagram, it shows that technology companies and those who legislate against them are entering a new era. amol rajan, bbc news. the london teenager who ran away to join is four years ago, says people should sympathise with her. in an interview with sky news, 19—year—old shamima begum said she had no regrets, but again appealed for help to return to the uk with her newborn baby. colin campbell has more. she is the schoolgirl who ran away to join is, but who is now asking to return to the uk. pictured in today's newspapers in a syrian refugee camp with her newborn son, shamima begum is appealing for public sympathy. her family are asking the british government to show compassion and help them get her home.

they would like the government to recognise its responsibility to a now one—day old child and to extend every help that can be given to have that child repatriated to the uk. she travelled from east london to syria with her two school friends in 2015, but fled fighting a fortnight ago. the government has said it wants to prevent people who went to join a terrorist group returning to britain. but ministers can see that people like shamima begum, who have only british nationality, may ultimately be allowed to come back. if you are dealing with a british citizen who wants to return to this country — they are not a dual citizen, so their only citizenship is british citizenship, then we are obliged, at some stage, at least, to take them back. that doesn't mean we can't put in place the necessary security measures to monitor their activities and make sure they are not misbehaving. but to get back to the uk from syria, shamima begum will require travel documents. her family are requesting them from the british government,

and say they understand, if she makes it home, she is likely to face police investigation and possibly a criminal trial. colin campbell, bbc news. later in the programme we'll be speaking to the family's lawyer. that's at ten past eight. let us know what do you think. train companies have proposed major changes to ticketing on britain's railways. the rail delivery group says the current system is outdated and overcomplicated. it wants to see more flexible fares and a roll—out of electronic systems, like london's oyster card, across the country. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. tap—in, tap—out travel has been the norm in london for years. now, rail companies say there should be a similar style system for passengers across the country. swipe and you would automatically be charged the cheapest fare for your journey. and if you travel the same route often, your weekly rate would be automatically capped. it is a far cry from the system

we have today, which train companies say is overcomplicated and full of anomalies. for example, a single can sometimes be almost as expensive as a return. the industry wants more flexible fares for long—distance journeys, to avoid people rushing for the first off—peak service after the rush hour. passenger groups say change is needed but worry there will be winners and losers. the issues go beyond the railways. this is about ticketing across rail, bus, tram, metro, and other forms of transport. we have got a ticketing system and a fare system that doesn't work for seamless door—to—door journeys. it doesn't work for people day in, day out, travelling to work, going to education or going to the shops. we need a simpler system that works across all forms of public transport. the train companies say the average price of a ticket would not change under today's proposals. they consulted nearly 20,000 passengers. but real change to the way we buy tickets could take years. and, ultimately, it will be down to the government. tom burridge, bbc news. a small group of labour mps look set

to announce their resignations from the party, the bbc understands. several backbenchers, who disagree withjeremy corbyn‘s handling of brexit and the anti—semitism row, are expected to break away. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said on sunday he did not see "any need for anybody to split from the party". tributes have been paid to the labour mp, paul flynn, who's died at the age of 8a. he'd represented his constituency of newport west, in wales, for more than 30 years. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, called him an "independent thinker", who'd be greatly missed. plans to overhaul the way we recycle plastic are to be unveiled by the government. it's expected a deposit return scheme will be introduced for bottles. but big retailers have been accused of trying to water down the proposals. our environment analyst roger harrabin explains. plastic litter harms marine life, so

the government is committed to introducing a deposit return scheme on plastic bottles and other drinks containers. industry lobbyists say the deposit should only apply to small on—the—go bottles. they are the ones most likely to find their way into the sea. environmentalists are fighting for a catch—all scheme for all drinks containers. many family—size bottles end in the ocean to, they say. in the ocean too, they say. also the flow of materials for recycling would be improved if all containers face a deposit. in their waste consultation, ministers will decide whether to back industry, or whether to back the environmentalists. what goes into your bins is another issue for debate. the government says it will standardise rules for the whole country to end confusion over what you can recycle and what you cannot. people who make fishing gear may be made to pay for the cost of the marine litter it creates.

in order to tackle dumping, the makers of furniture, mattresses, carpets and tyres might also be obliged to pay for the ultimate cost of dealing with them. it is a radical shake—up of the way we deal with waste. we've all heard about firefighters being called to rescue a cat stuck up a tree. but it's not usually like this. this is a mountain lion which was spotted perched on a branch 50 feet up in the air near a house in california. the fire crews had to tranquilise it and lower it down with a harness, before releasing it back into the wild. "digital gangsters" who intentionally violated data privacy. that's how a team of mps describe facebook in a damning parliamentary report today. they're calling for stronger sanctions on social media firms,

to help tackle the spread of so—called ‘fake news' online. we'rejoined now from our london newsroom by the mp damian collins, who's the chair of the select committee behind the report — and here in the studio by will moy, from independent fact checking organisation, full fact. good morning, thank you forjoining us. good morning, thank you forjoining us. damian collins, expand on that about digital gangsters. what evidence do you have of what they have been up to and what are you concerned about? the reason we use the term is it is notjust that things happen and they apologise and try to correct them, these mistakes happen all the time, be it failing to act against known harmful contact, taking data from people without consent, behaving in an aggressive way to smaller businesses reliant on their platform to reach

customers. it is a consistent pattern of behaviour and rather than having a system where the tech companies apologise when things go wrong and carry on repeating mistakes, we should have a system that imposes standards on them with a regulator that can act against them if they fail to meet them. it is common in other industries and we need it in the tech sector. you have been working on this some time and put pressure on facebook, asking mark zuckerberg to come to your committee many times. are they not changing without regulation?” committee many times. are they not changing without regulation? i do not believe they will change without regulation. we should have ethical standards they are legally required to meet. it is not a question of us going to california and ask them to behave in a nicer way, it is setting laws and require them to do this in if they fail to act they have failed in their duty of care and sanction can be imposed, that is a step change we want, so we embolden the rights of the citizen and people over that of the business platform.

will, you have talked about this issue many times before. your company, you are employed by facebook to look through what they have and check it for fake news. how does the process work? we are a charity and have been fact checking for ten years last year facebook asked us to be an external independent body that would fact check content they would refer to us. check content they would refer to us. we agreed and said we would report every three months publicly oi'i report every three months publicly on how well the programme was working. we said it needed to be the first of many steps that facebook took to improve the quality of information on its platform. have you been making a difference? what do you report back to them? he made the reports public, but how have they responded? the first report will be in a pool. we have only been

doing this four week so we are in the early stages. we have said we will report publicly in an organised way and the reports we put out will be discussed by our editorial team and draw on our experience before we put them out. what i will say is we are worried when government talks about tackling disinformation. around the world there have been cases of government is proposing things that are dangerous for free speech when they do this and mp5 have ta ken speech when they do this and mp5 have taken theirtime. speech when they do this and mp5 have taken their time. they have been careful and come up with sensible proposals, in particular two things we think our urgent is to update election law because we are at risk of an election being abused and to update rules on political advertising and transparency. the mps have hit the nail on the head with those points. you will no facebook response, saying it was

pleased to make a significant contribution to the committee investigation and they support the recommendation for electoral law reform. are you concerned about what has happened in the past? yes if we ta ke has happened in the past? yes if we take the example of russian interference in elections in other countries, the reason it is possible to do that is you can hide your real identity when running adverts. you do not have to say who is paying for the advert, where you are based. this basic information exists, if you put a leaflet through a door, you put a leaflet through a door, you have to identify who funded the leaflet a nd you have to identify who funded the leaflet and who it is there to promote and you do not have to do it online and that is where the change needs to come so there is transparency. if you see information about a transparency. if you see information abouta campaign transparency. if you see information about a campaign or candidate online you understand where it comes from and you can usejudgment to you understand where it comes from and you can use judgment to trust that. that level of transparency has to be there in the online world. it has been too easy for organisations

to get around that are notjust has been too easy for organisations to get around that are not just the russians doing it but the report identifies an organisation called the mainstream network, asking people to lobby the mp to support a ha rd people to lobby the mp to support a hard brexit without a deal and we do not know who is doing it and we should have the right to know. are you concerned the activity you talk about has influenced elections in the country? there is the intent to do that and it has to be concerning that shadowy networks of people spend large amounts of mahe targeting individual voters with political messages and we have no idea who they are. —— large amounts of money. we believe it is important off—line and we think it is important off—line. off—line and we think it is important off-line. you have talked about sanctions but what would they be and will they have teeth? yes, they can do. we are talking on a television programme. this is regulated by off com, a statutory

regulatory powers given by parliament and upholding standards and regulators candida. we have independent bodies with sanctions and codes. people would say it would have to be a big sanction to make tech companies comply but with data protection law, regulators can find them up to ford —— up to four percent of their global income. we can create regulatory bodies with real powers to sanction when things go wrong. i'd like to come back to that point, in terms of regulation, and talking about having teeth, from what you know, could those sorts of regulations make a difference to a tech giant like facebook? absolutely. these companies are subject to the law in every country they operate in and need to obey the law, that is clear. that needs to be

held to account. if that is a fine or other ways of enforcing them to do that, that is what the law is for. what stands out in the report is they call for a code of ethics which is important. they say technical experts need to do it and clearly they need to be involved but what i want to hear is how the public will be involved. because ethical questions are not just for technical experts but for all of us and a lot of questions will come out when the code of ethics is written and that needs to evolve all of us. but yes, a code can have teeth and should have teeth. your first report is out? in april and i will cheerfully come back to you. we look forward to that. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, it is i'll start will stop temperatures at the moment more what you would expect in the afternoon. the forecast, sunshine

and showers, not as mild as the weekend. the first weather front coming in across the north—west, enhancing showers and the second moving south—eastwards, taking rain with it and it is breezy today but particularly windy in the north and west and here we have showers. further south, showers pushing to the south—east and a fair bit of cloud. breitling later. the showers in the north and west of scotland will be blustery with hell bob and thunder. brighter skies in the north—east. the same in northern ireland as north—west england where you will see a lot of showers. heavy and sundry help but in between bright skies and sunshine. in wales, showers, but brighter in south—west england and the midlands behind the rain. and then rain in the south—east of the uk. the chart shows it is patchy. overnight, as high pressure builds, it will kill

offa high pressure builds, it will kill off a lot of the showers. there will be rogue showers left and under clear skies are colder night. there will be a touch of frost around. maybe some patchy mist and fog. tomorrow, we start on the cold note and there will be sunshine when we lose the fog. cloud building from the west, turning sunshine hazy and then we seem rain in northern ireland. eventually by the middle of the afternoon, getting into the western parts of britain. temperatures between eight and 12. on wednesday, weather fronts crossing the northern half of the country introducing rain. sunny spells, as well and temperatures climbing. looking at a high wednesday of 13 degrees. thursday into friday and the weekend, we see

temperatures pick up. we are pulling in southerly winds with the fronts kept at bay in the west by high pressure. this chart showing we have a lot of yellow which means it will turn that bit milder. the chart is looping, notjust turn that bit milder. the chart is looping, not just jumping, to emphasise that point. on friday we could have temperatures up to 16, 17, and on saturday, the potential to hit 17 or 18, possibly more. the average at this time of debris is six in the north and nine in the south, so if you like it milder, it looks like it is coming our way. a bbc breakfast investigation has found a huge rise in the number of abuse allegations made against carers visiting vulnerable people in their own homes. the fivefold increase injust seven years, has led to a former care minister to call for an urgent review, to call for an urgent review to ensure that people can live safe

and independent lives in the community. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin reports. i put my daughter in there thinking she would be safe, like a home from home, but that moment you are told your daughter has been sexually assaulted, there are just no words. they tell me about a sister and a daughter sexually and financially abused here in the home they shared. a support worker was eventually jailed, 15 years after the first complaint was made. a review said his crime should have been prevented. we asked the regulator, the cqc, for data on all the alerts they receive when things appear to go wrong. the figures, spanning seven years, have never been published before. they show of 85,000 incidents or allegations of abuse, almost 16,000 police incidents. not all of these would have involved support workers. there were 400 unexpected deaths of people under the age of 65, and there were tens of thousands more alerts in supported living — providers that offer more wraparound support.

by last year, these alerts were at the highest levels ever, with increases of up to 360%. i think it calls for an urgent review by the government and the care quality commission, given the scale of concern the figures demonstrate. what are they going to do to ensure that people living in the community are safe? we're joined now by alicia wood, from the organisation, dimensions, which supports people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs. when you watch that report, i saw you nodding, are you surprised by that? does it come as a shock? i think i always feel shocked when i see the kind of things that happen to some of the most honourable in society. however, ido to some of the most honourable in society. however, i do not feel surprised. to me, it feels like groundhog day. we have seen reports

come out again and again about the abuse and neglect of people with learning disabilities and inequalities they face. there has been at a lot of care trying to get people back into their own homes. has sometimes that gone too far do you think? absolutely not. one of the important things to say is the kind of situations we are talking about, they are people living in their own homes, having tenancies where they are supported to make real choices in their lives and to have control over their lives as opposed to an institutional setting. we think that is the right direction. i think that probably one is some of these figures, the stories behind them will be things like, for example, we help a lot of

people to get out of assessment treatment units, hospitals we see a lot about, and people are traumatised by the systems they are in. you are looking for some people, up in. you are looking for some people, up to six months where things happen, they are traumatised, staff are getting to know them, and things happen. we would absolutely encourage our support colleagues to be reporting every single one of those incidents. however, we also support people who have lower support people who have lower support needs, who we might support three, four hours a week. certainly a lot of those people we see get their services corrupt. for example, we would have people who end up getting involved in situations of drug and alcohol abuse and because we only have a certain amount of hours of support, we have to refer some of those things to the police

as hate crimes or meet crimes. some real exa m ples of as hate crimes or meet crimes. some real examples of where those figures come from. however those figures shock me when i look at unexpected deaths over the past eight years. they shock me. what are the challenges faced by people giving this care? one of the first things is we are talking about people in a lot of organisations who are paid minimum wage and some paid less than the minimum wage at the moment and are campaigning about that. we are talking about poor work conditions. we are expecting those people to make the kind of decisions in really tough situations. of course, where this comes from is in part, a big pa rt

this comes from is in part, a big part is the chronic underfunding of social care. the government is dealing with this. we have been waiting and waiting for a social ca re waiting and waiting for a social care green paper to address funding and that is not happening. in part, i think part of the underfunding, 7 billion less in social care for local authorities, it means for people with learning disabilities, ten yea rs people with learning disabilities, ten years ago we had commissions to check good services but we do not have the commissioners in local authorities any more and so you see the commission firefighting, essentially. a lot of the same frustrations we hear from essentially. a lot of the same frustrations we hearfrom parents. the department of health said we provide local authorities with access and up to £3.6 billion this year and access and up to £3.6 billion this yearand 3.9 access and up to £3.6 billion this year and 3.9 billion next year and we will set out plans to reform the system to make it sustainable. thank

you. we have the national headlines ina minute. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. a man has been arrested and charged with murder after getting off a flight at gatwick airport. it's over the death of doorman tudor simionov who was attacked outside a party in mayfair on new year's day. 23—year—old nor hamada is the fourth man to be charged over the killing. london fashion week continues this morning, but there have been calls for the industry to reduce its huge carbon footprint. fashion is the world's largest polluter after the oil industry and so the bbc has teamed up with a fashion label in east london and the british fashion council to launch this film. this planet is suffocating because of our increasing desire for fast fashion. it aims to make the industry and consumers think twice about the impact they're having on the environment.

the plan is for london fashion week to reduced demand for "fast—fashion". the label mother of pearl in mile end will present solutions to the industry, this afternoon. a nightclub in bexleyheath is being credited with raising the self—esteem of people with disabilities and helping their social life to flourish. the nyne bar is putting on exclusive nights for adults with learning difficulties. it's becoming more popular — as there's a lack of social activities for disabled people. i feel more confident going up the bar and seeing friends, new friends, making new friends, at the club. really nice, really friendly. it's also feels everyone is the same, as well. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. on the trains — some good news.

southeastern services are running again on the bexleyheath line. it's been closed since last week following a landslip. on the roads, the holloway road is closed southbound approaching highbury corner for water works. now, the weather, with kate. good morning. not as cold as it was this time yesterday. quite a bit of cloud keeping the temperature up. today, largely cloudy with the chance of showers. these showers feeding from the south and west. some brighter spells this morning. more cloud this afternoon. showers could merge together leading to prolonged spells. temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius. overnight, tonight, those showers and the cloud will clear away to the east, the skies will clear, the temperatures fall, minimum down to low single figures. it leads the way to a bright start tomorrow.

plenty of sunshine. cloud feeding in, in the afternoon. dry weather for much of this week, temperatures tomorrow around 11. steadily the temperature climbs toward friday. plenty of sunshine, 15 or 16 by the end of the week. again, feeling like spring. that's it. there's much more on our website and facebook page. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. facebook deliberately broke data privacy laws and needs much stricter regulation, according to a highly critical report by mps this morning. the commons culture committee is calling for a compulsory code of ethics for major tech companies, to help stop the spread of so—called fake news online. facebook says it is pleased to have made a significant contribution to the committee s investigation, and is open to meaningful regulation.

the london teenager who ran away to join is four years ago says people should sympathise with her. in an interview with sky news, 19—year—old shamima begum said she had no regrets, but appealed for help to return to the uk with her newborn baby. her family say they're "very concerned" about the child's welfare. train companies have proposed major changes to ticketing on britain's railways. the rail delivery group says the current system is outdated and over—complicated. it wants to see more flexible fares, and a roll—out of electronic systems like london's oyster card across the country. there's growing speculation that a group of labour mps may be about to announce their resignations. several backbenchers who disagree with jeremy corbyn's handling of brexit and the anti—semitism row are rumoured to be planning to break away. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said yesterday he did not see "any need for anybody to split from the party". we understand there is an

announcement to be made at atm. —— at 8am. tributes have been paid to the labour mp paul flynn who's died at the age of 8a. he'd represented his constituency of newport west in wales for more than 30 years. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn called him an "independent thinker", who'd be greatly missed. plans to overhaul the way we recycle plastic are due to be unveiled by the government later. it's expected a deposit return scheme will be introduced for bottles. environmental campaigners are calling for all bottles to be included. but big retailers have been accused of trying to water down the proposals, arguing that large bottles shouldn't be subject to a deposit. and your favourite story of the day. we've all heard about fire fighters being called to rescue a cat stuck up a tree. but it's not usually like this. this is a mountain lion which was spotted perched

on a branch 50 feet up in the air near a house in california. the fire crews had to tranquilise it and lower it down with a harness, before releasing it back into the wild. it is safe, probably happy. very beautiful. coming up on the programme. carol will have your weather. time for the sport. building up to the final piece in the fa cup puzzle. so much to play for tonight in the fifth round of the fa cup. chelsea host manchester united at stamford bridge with both bosses knowing some silverware could make all the difference to theirjob prospects. last year in the final, eden hazard's penalty made all the difference. that was the second year in a row they'd beaten united in the competition. n'golo kante scored a fine winner as chelsea won 1—0 in the quarterfinals back in 2017.

jose mourinho was in charge of united for those matches. mourinho was chelsea boss in 2007 when didier drogba's extra—time winner sunk united. interestingly, too, that was the last game ole gunnar solsjaer played for manchester united. now in charge, is he going to revisit these past defeats to motivate his players in 2019? i'm not going to use the clip for that game, that's for sure! i came on the last five minutes, was going to take a penalty, and then we lost. but we have done well against chelsea down there. but we have also lost a few times. let's see what kind of messages we give them before the game. no shocks from the three fifth round ties on sunday. premier league crystal palace had an awkward trip to third—tier doncaster rovers but scored twice in the first half for a 2—0 win. wolves also overcame lower league opposition.

bristol city of the championship were beaten 1—0. it's the first time in 16 years wolves have reached the last eight. they'll bejoined in the draw by swansea city. they came from behind to beat brentford 4—1. daniel james' solo effort was the pick of the goals. it was the fifth round in the women's fa cup, too. also, a repeat of last year's final, as chelsea played arsenal. just like last year, too, chelsea came out on top winning 3—0. there were also wins for the likes of manchester city and liverpool, although second—tier durham knocked out bristol city. and the big game tonight is on bbc one. celtic captain scott brown was sent off for celebrating his last—minute winner against kilmarnock. it had looked like the match had been heading for a goalless draw, but brown's deflected strike gave brendan rodgers' side all three points. the celebration then led to celtic fans running on the pitch and brown received a second yellow card. it looks like brendan rodgers was

applauding that, but he wasn't. now, when your dad is a grand slam tennis winner, and your sister is the 12th best golfer in the world, the pressure to win could be pretty great. well, now, nelly korda has joined her successful family by winning the women's australian open golf. dad petr won the aussie open in tennis in 1998, brother sebastian won the boys' tennis title last year, and sisterjessica won the australia open in golf seven years ago. and in what has now become tradition. the children have all copied dad's celebration, too. and amazing jump. good sporting genes! i would like to try that but i think imight break i would like to try that but i think i might break my leg. now, let's show you some incredible pictures from overnight. they're from the famous daytona race in florida. one of the cars slammed into the wall and started a chain reaction that involved more than two dozen vehicles.

iam i am showing these pictures mainly because nobody was hurt, everybody got out in one piece. look at the sparks. it is like something from a movie. that was last night. if, by any chance, you had been hibernating. has anybody not seen this? i want to show it again. here's another chance to see our very own peak physical specimen taking on the best in britain over 60 metres. here's mike lining up at the birmingham grand prix on saturday. he looked the part, well up until the gun went off, anyway! why did he not dip? he had a chance!

he could barely stop. he is very quick. the proper athletes left him behind, but he didn't let that deter him, crossing the line in a very respectable 9.27 seconds. incredible. i have played football with mike, he is nippy. he is a relatively quick feller but he was annihilated by the professionals which shows how quick they are. congratulations to him for having a go. sir chris hoy watched that at the weekend. he said he wanted him to shed his entire body, that would make a difference. i do not think mike is that herring. a subject i did not think we would be discussing this morning! —— that hairy! i would

make the point, he is running the race, i would make the point, he is running the race, iwould not make the point, he is running the race, i would not have. well done, brilliant effort. one of the world's most successful track athletes, caster semenya, will today challenge in court controversial plans to limit testosterone levels in female athletes. the sport's governing body wants athletes with a higher—than—normal level of male hormones to take medication before they compete, to ensure races are fair. our sports news correspondent, richard conway, reports. caster semenya has been dominant in the 800 metres for the past decade. the south african star has won gold at the olympics and, this autumn, she wants another world championship medal. but that quest, and her long—term future in the sport, are now in doubt. new regulations will require female athletes with high testosterone levels to take medication to lower

the level of the hormone for six months prior to competing. her lawyers will claim that is discriminatory, arguing her condition, known as hyperandrogenism, is naturally occurring. she also has the backing of the south african government. why is it that a woman athlete who is said to be having high levels of testosterone has to compete with men? whereas a man with lower levels of testosterone and high levels of oestrogen, somehow is not allowed to compete with women. where is fairness, gender—wise, there? so, yes, she has been targeted because she is a woman. however, the governing body of athletics, the iaaf, says it must act, given its belief elevated testosterone levels provide female runners significant performance advantages over their rivals. this case has been a long time in the making. in 2009, caster semenya won her first world title.

in 2011, the iaaf introduced its first hyperandrogenism regulations. but, in 2015, the regulation was suspended when an indian sprinter, dutee chand, won a case against them. then, in 2017, the iaaf published new research said medication to counter differences of sexual development in female athletes must be taken. the science behind the research will be under scrutiny this week. a judgment is expected in late march and the outcome will have far—reaching implications for both caster semenya's competitive future, along with issues of ethics and gender within her sport. richard conway, bbc news. good morning. here's carol, with a look at this morning's weather. and unusual temperatures for february. this morning, it is a mild start.

temperatures are more representative of what we would expect in the afternoon. the forecast is mixed and not as mild as the weekend. we have a weather fronts moving across england and wales bringing patchy rain. first thing, a mild start. patchy rain across the south—east. another band later on. these showers across the north and west. some will be heavy and thundery with hail, and blustery. but some bright skies across the north. northern ireland and north—west england, the same, sunshine and showers, some heavy and thundery. west wales will see

showers. brightening up in east wales and the midlands. through the evening, high pressure builds in which will kill off a lot of showers. a cold night. frost also. and mist and fog. that should lift tomorrow. tomorrow, a bright note with sunshine, still a few showers in the north—west. more weather fronts will approach, the sunshine will turn hazy, brain in northern ireland in the morning. moving into western scotland and western england and wales. temperatures up to 12. above average for february. wednesday, weather fronts are above average for february. wednesday, weatherfronts are moving

across the country introducing rain. they will ease during the day. further south, drier and brighter conditions with some sunshine. temperatures up to 13. the temperature will be a theme for the next few days. high pressure is in charge keeping those weather fronts at bay. still windy. coming up from the azores. into thursday, friday and saturday, temperatures easily getting up into the high teens, up to 18 potentially on saturday. possibly a little bit more. thank you. is it dolly parton time again? horie. —— hurray! 9 to 5 was one of the defining films of the 1980s.

it tells the story of three female office workers who take their sexist boss hostage. almost a0 years on, who better to adapt it for the stage than dolly parton herself. i caught up with the country music legend to talk about all kinds of things, including how she found 9 to 5 was one of the defining films of the 1980s. dolly parton, what an honour to meet you, thank you for talking to us. the look is so clever, and so specific, what was it inspired by? there was a town tramp, trollop and i thought she was beautiful. i said i would grow up to be trash because i thought that was a look. so i grew up to be trash! but i like to think i'm a little more than trash but i always loved the look, it seemed to fit my personality more than just plain stuff. i like to be flashy and gaudy and be seen. # nine to five, for service and devotion...

you are here because of the 9 to 5 musical which is out now. looking back, the themes, the film came out so many decades ago and the themes are still the same, about equality and fairness, what do you think about that? we are getting another chance to revamp this. to throw more light on a subject that needs addressing. when the movie came out a0 years ago it did a lot of good and helped a lot of things and opened up doors. as always, there is still work to be done and improvements to be made. this gives us another opportunity to bring the subject up again again for equal pay, and harassment in the workplace. i am not your wife or your mother or even your mistress. what? lam youremployee. as such, i expect to be treated equally with a little dignity

and a little respect. it's interesting watching, many of the lines are the same in the film as the musical, and they still get a laugh. i wrote a couple of new pieces for it. we took out the fantasy scene and the song of hey boss. i tried to address the issues, it's not all men, just some bad men. i've worked for a lot of good men, too. i think it is a wonderful time for women and we're making progress. 9 to 5, there are rumours of a follow—up, will you be involved? of course, lily, jane and i will be doing a sequel we have talked about for years. i used to joke otherwise we'll have to call it 95! with three new young girls still working at the old company, the story is they wonder

what happened to these three women who make those changes all those years ago. they find us in the country running successful businesses. so we then have more fun. it should be fun. nice to see you. thank you very much indeed. you had a good day. i really enjoyed that day. she also told me she gets up that day. she also told me she gets up in the middle of the night and sta rts up in the middle of the night and starts working at aam. she does all her accounts, her songs, amazing. you have seen the musical, did it match up? yes, it is very good. i saw the film closely followed by the musical and they are very similar. the samejokes musical and they are very similar. the same jokes still get the same loss which you would think a0 years later some things might have changed. —— same laughs.

we are talking about rail fares. there's big plans out today that could massively change how we buy train tickets. nina's got more on this one. nina? good morning. that's right. it was only a month or so ago we were reporting on yet another rise in railfares. it's a story that always generates strong opinions. today, the organisation that put up those prices is proposing what it calls "radical proposals" to make rail fares a lot simpler to understand. the rail delivery group, which represents the train operators, consulted nearly 20,000 passengers and found a massive 88% of people wanted changes to how tickets are sold. so, they're proposing what's called single—leg pricing. it's used in london already and means you'll automatically get the best and cheapest ticket for each part of the journey. no more having to buy loads of separate tickets to ensure the cheapest deal.

tap—in, tap—out tickets would be extended outside london. it would automatically work out the best fare and there would be a weekly or monthly cap if you travel a lot. they also want less of a cliff edge from peak to off peak prices on long distance journies so we're not all packed on that first train after rush hour. robert nisbet is from the rail delivery group and joins me from our central london studio now. good morning to you. the majority of customers might want more flexible fares — but they also want cheaper fares. will these reforms mean lower fares? and also reliability? those are the key aspects we are concentrating on, this isn't just our sole key aspects we are concentrating on, this isn'tjust our sole focus but one way of saying we had to listen to what our customers want, and the way customers live their lives is

very different from when those rules we re very different from when those rules were set 25 years ago when timothy dalton was stilljames bond, helmut kohl was running germany, and we didn't have smartphones. listening to dolly parton, a lot of us now do not work monday to friday, 9am to 5pm, we have flexible working hours and the system needs to reflect that which is why we carried out that consultation and synthesised the results which is what the rosolska all about. but this is something the industry can't do on its own, we need to work with government. it is designed to be cost neutral, so some it is designed to be cost neutral, so some prizes will come down but inevitably some will go up, who will ta ke inevitably some will go up, who will take that hit? the majority of people would pay less but you are right there would be some who would pay more, those who travel at shoulder peak, immediately before or after the peak

hours. we are suggesting to smooth out so we don't have overcrowding, that you break up the system and build it up again so the basic building block becomes the journey from one station to another. so less of that cliff edge. could you be accidentally stung? at the moment i know what i am paying but ifi moment i know what i am paying but if i did realise i am travelling peak time if i did realise i am travelling peaktimei if i did realise i am travelling peak time i might pay and extortionate fee? these are proposals. we would have to put in trials to make sure this works effectively. with the oyster ca rd works effectively. with the oyster card in london, there was huge cynicism, but there were trials to prove it could work and non—londoners couldn't live without it. we want to start those real world trials as soon as was all, by the end of the year, and if the

government works with us, we could com plete government works with us, we could complete a national role that within three or five years. some like to book in advance those cheap tickets. i went to the lake district for a fiver. those will stay the tame —— the same. we are looking to make the system easier to understand, the basic principle is this is what we think the system should do, make it easy to understand, people only pay for the travel they use with the confidence when they buy their ticket they are getting the best fare for their journey. we want to work with government to deliver. we are seeing huge changes in the industry, it is malleable at the moment but the government is distracted with brexit, could they be in distracted with brexit, could they beina distracted with brexit, could they be in a position to frustrate these plans? we have been encouraged with what we

have been hearing from the department for transport who issued a statement welcoming our proposals. we know as an industry we need to work hard to restore trust. last year was awful on the railway. since then, we have had a timetable change that went well, tragedy, the system is stabilising. but we know to regain the trust we need to look at systemic change —— gradually the systemic change —— gradually the system is stabilising. we believe this is the best way to put the customer at the heart of the railway. the people living this morning who might feel frustrated by their commute, how quickly could we see these changes? if the government worked with us we could complete a nationwide roll—out between three to five years. we will between three to five years. we will be back at 8:20am talking about

homepreneurs. we need a more dynamic name for them. i like the french name, maison preneurs. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news, i'm asad ahmad. a man has been arrested and charged with murder after getting off a flight at gatwick airport. it's over the death of doorman tudor simionov, who was attacked outside a party in mayfair on new year's day. 23—year—old nor hamada is the fourth man to be charged over the killing. london fashion week continues this morning, but there have been calls for the industry to reduce its huge carbon footprint. fashion is the world's largest polluter after the oil industry

and so the bbc has teamed up with a fashion label in east london and the british fashion council to launch this film. this planet is suffocating because of our increasing desire for fast fashion. it aims to make the industry and consumers think twice about the impact they're having on the environment. the plan is for london fashion week to reduced demand for "fast—fashion". the label mother of pearl in mile end will present solutions to the industry, this afternoon. a nightclub in bexleyheath is being credited with raising the self—esteem of people with disabilities and helping their social life to flourish. the nyne bar is putting on exclusive nights for adults with learning difficulties. it's becoming more popular, as there's a lack of social activities for disabled people. i feel more confident going up the bar and seeing friends, new friends, making new friends, at the club. really nice, really friendly.

it's also feels everyone is the same, as well. let's take a look at the travel situation now. there's a good service on the tubes this morning. on the trains — some good news. southeastern services are running again on the bexleyheath line. it's been closed since last week following a landslip. on the roads, the holloway road is closed southbound approaching highbury corner for water works. now the weather, with kate. good morning. not as cold as it was this time yesterday. quite a bit of cloud keeping the temperature up. today, largely cloudy with the chance of showers. these showers feeding from the south and west. some brighter spells this morning. more cloud this afternoon. showers could merge together leading to prolonged spells.

temperatures, 11 or 12 celsius. overnight, tonight, those showers and the cloud will clear away to the east, the skies will clear, the temperatures fall, minimum down to low single figures. it leads the way to a bright start tomorrow. plenty of sunshine. cloud feeding in, in the afternoon. dry weather for much of this week, temperatures tomorrow around 11. steadily the temperature climbs toward friday. plenty of sunshine, 15 or 16 by the end of the week. again, feeling like spring. that's it. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: shamima begum, who ran away to syria tojoin is, appeals for the british public to show her and her new baby sympathy and allow her to return to the uk. we'll be speaking to her family's lawyer in the next few minutes. the fight against fake news — mps call for far stricter regulation

and a code of ethics for tech giants like facebook. shadowy networks of people are spending large amounts of money micro—targeting individual voters in this country with political messages, and we've got no idea who they are or why they're doing it. and a dramatic rise in serious incidents reported by home care providers for people with learning disabilities in england. we have an exclusive report. good morning. the most radical train fare proposals in a generation. simpler ticketing, cheaper peak prices, and "tap—in, tap—out" systems for the whole country — if the plans are taken on. one of the world's most successful runners, caster semenya, will today challenge controversial plans to limit testosterone levels in female athletes. #9tos # for service and devotion... #

we'll catch up with country music legend, dolly parton as she turns her hit film ‘9 to 5‘ into a musical. yesterday was brilliant, but the weather today? over the country, cloudy with patchy rain moving south—east, brighter later, and in the north of the country, bright sunshine and showers, some of which will be heavy. i will have more in 15 minutes. it's monday, the 18th of february. our top story... the teenagerfrom london who ran away to join is four years ago says people should sympathise with her. in an interview with sky news, 19—year—old shamima begum said she had no regrets, but again appealed for help to return to the uk with her newborn baby. colin campbell has more. she is the schoolgirl who ran away to join is, but who is now asking to return to the uk. pictured in today's newspapers in a syrian refugee camp with her newborn son, shamima begum is appealing for public sympathy.

her family are asking the british government to show compassion and help them get her home. they would like the government to recognise its responsibility to a now one—day old child, and to extend every help that can be given to have that child repatriated to the uk. she travelled from east london to syria with her two school friends in 2015, but fled fighting a fortnight ago. the government has said it wants to prevent people who went to join a terrorist group returning to britain. but ministers can see that people like shamima begum, who have only british nationality, may ultimately be allowed to come back. if you're dealing with a british citizen who wants to return to this country — and they're not a dual citizen, so their only citizenship is british citizenship — then we are obliged, at some stage, at least, to take them back. that doesn't mean we can't put in place the necessary security measures to monitor their activities and make sure they are not misbehaving. but to get back to the uk from syria, shamima begum will require travel documents. her family are requesting them from the british government, and say they understand,

if she makes it home, she is likely to face police investigation and possibly a criminal trial. colin campbell, bbc news. in a few moments, we'll be speaking to the begum family's lawyer. that's at ten past 8. mps are calling for a compulsory code of ethics for tech giants like facebook, to try to tackle the spread of fake news on social media. the chair of the digital, culture, media and sport committee, damian collins, condemned what he calls a "shadowy network of people" targeting voters and says the time for excuses is over. here's our media editor, amol rajan. it's totally fake news. just fake. the term fake news has entered the mainstream in recent years. in america, there has been grave concern that the election of donald trump may have owed something to the interference by russia in the presidential election. an investigation by former fbi director robert mueller is looking into the allegations. the nearest thing to that in britain is the culture select committee's report on fake

news and disinformation. its findings, published this morning, are scathing about technology companies and the legal and regulatory framework in which they operate. the committee says facebook intentionally violated both data privacy laws and anti—competition laws. it says a new code of conduct, overseen by an independent regulator, should be set up. and it claims that current electoral law is not fit for purpose. facebook say they have taken extensive steps to weed out illegal or harmful content on its platform, including fake news. but coming so soon after the outcry over molly russell, the 1a—year—old who committed suicide after seeing pictures of self—harm on facebook—owned instagram, it shows that technology companies and those who legislate against them are entering a new era. amol rajan, bbc news. train companies have proposed major changes to ticketing on britain's railways. the rail delivery group says the current system is outdated and overcomplicated. it wants to see more flexible fares and a roll—out of electronic systems, like the oyster card, which you'll know about if you live

in london, across the country. our transport correspondent tom burridge reports. tap—in, tap—out travel has been the norm in london for years. now, rail companies say there should be a similar style system for passengers across the country. swipe, and you would automatically be charged the cheapest fare for your journey. and if you travel the same route often, your weekly rate would be automatically capped. it's a far cry from the system we have today, which train companies say is overcomplicated and full of anomalies. for example, a single can sometimes be almost as expensive as a return. the industry wants more flexible fares for long—distance journeys, to avoid people rushing for the first off—peak service after the rush hour. passenger groups say change is needed, but worry there will be winners and losers. the issues go beyond the railways. this is about ticketing across rail, bus, tram, metro, and other forms of transport. we have got a ticketing system and a fare system that doesn't work for seamless door—to—door journeys.

it doesn't work for people day in, day out, travelling to work, going to education or going to the shops. we need a simpler system that works across all forms of public transport. the train companies say the average price of a ticket wouldn't change under today's proposals. they consulted nearly 20,000 passengers. but real change to the way we buy tickets could take years. and, ultimately, it will be down to the government. tom burridge, bbc news. there's growing speculation that a group of labour mps may be about to announce their resignations. several backbenchers, who disagree withjeremy corbyn's handling of brexit and the anti—semitism row, are expected to break away. no details of who they are yet. let's get more on this from our political correspondent, jonathan blake at westminster. i think there will be a news conference later. what can you tell us, the rumours? good morning. we are being told to expect an event later this morning being described as having something to do with the

future of british politics, and we understand this will be a small group of labourmps, understand this will be a small group of labour mps, format or five backbenchers, who are going to announce they will be leaving the labour party. this of course comes after months of speculations and after months of speculations and after several labour backbenchers have been outspoken about the leadership ofjeremy corbyn. they are frustrated, some of them, at his tackling of anti—semitism within the party, which they see as not tough enough. they are also frustrated at the direction the party has taken over brexit, thinking the party should have campaigned more heavily to stay in the european union, and have had a clearer policy since the referendum result, and there is also frustration at the way the party is heading underjeremy corbyn's leadership more broadly. at this stage, no names or confirmed numbers but that event taking place later on this morning. we are told to expect

a handful of labour mps to announce they are leaving the party. ok, well, thank you very much. as and when that happens i'm sure the bbc news channel will have the latest, so news channel will have the latest, so you news channel will have the latest, so you can news channel will have the latest, so you can watch that later. tributes have been paid to the labour mp, paul flynn, who's died at the age of 8a. he'd represented his constituency of newport west, in wales, for more than 30 years. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, called him an "independent thinker", who'd be greatly missed. plans to overhaul the way we recycle plastic are due to be unveiled by the government later. it's expected a deposit return scheme will be introduced for bottles. environmental campaigners are calling for all bottles to be included. but big retailers have been accused of trying to water down the proposals — arguing that large bottles shouldn't be subject to a deposit. would you like to hear about a cat? i love this cat. a cat up a tree. a

mountain lion, in fact. this is a mountain lion which was spotted perched on a branch 50 feet up in the air near a house in california. the fire crews had to tranquilise it and lower it down with a harness, before releasing it back into the wild. they had to tranquilize it. that goes down as our most dramatic picture of the day this monday morning on breakfast. if you looked up morning on breakfast. if you looked up and saw that, you would be slightly concerned, wouldn't you? yes. ok, it is ten past eight and let's return to one of our main stories. the family of shamima begum, the teenager from london who fled to syria tojoin is, say they're "very concerned" about her newborn baby. the 19—year—old is now living in a refugee camp and is appealing for the government to help her get back to britain. tasneem akunjee is the begum family's lawyer and joins us now from central london. thank you for coming on bbc brea kfast to thank you for coming on bbc breakfast to speak about this. can you update us on where we are this monday morning and where the family are in terms of their attempts to

try to get shamima to come back to the uk? yes, she remains in a camp with some access to some limited medical facilities, with some access to some limited medicalfacilities, we with some access to some limited medical facilities, we understand. the family are attempting this week to try to encourage the government to try to encourage the government to provide travel documents for shamima and her son. legally, she is auk shamima and her son. legally, she is a uk citizen so technically she can't be stopped from coming back to the uk, but i'm sure you are well aware, that the home secretary could use his temporary exclusion order. if that was to happen what would be your response to that? the temporary exclusion order is really a framework for return, so really there are a bunch of requirements in there are a bunch of requirements in there that if you comply with them you are allowed to return, well then it isa you are allowed to return, well then it is a sort of stage—managed re—entry to the uk which was created for these sort of situations, rather than a sort of all or nothing scenario. it wouldn't be something that would be too problematic in her case, we don't think. in terms of

the legal situation around the baby, the legal situation around the baby, the baby's father is dutch. now that baby has been born, does the uk government have some sort of responsibility over that child? how do you see that issue? the child is an issue of a british citizen, shamima being its mother, so the child also has a right to british citizenship. we understand the father is in custody with the ypg so we don't imagine he will be in a position to affect dutch nationality for the child. can i ask you about some of the responses there have been to her calls to come back to the uk? i'm sure you have seen the sky news interview and one of i suppose the most hard—hitting a nswe rs suppose the most hard—hitting answers she gives, she is asked about some of the beheadings carried out by is and she says, i was ok with it. she speaks about how she became quite religious before she left and, became quite religious before she leftand, in became quite religious before she left and, in her words, became quite religious before she leftand, in herwords, islamic became quite religious before she left and, in her words, islamic lay,

it is all allowed. in the very next a nswer it is all allowed. in the very next answer she said she thinks people should have sympathy, with her. and that was not edited together, as i understand that that was how the interview went out. with that in mind, can you understand some of the responses to her calls for people in the uk to have sympathy to her allowing her to come back? element of course. the family have gone out of course. the family have gone out of their way from the first day to try to get her away from the isis narrative and the context she finds herself in —— yes, of course. she has been there four years and we would be surprised if she hadn't been further damaged beyond the degree she already had been when she went, but that is something we hope professionals in the uk can take her away from once she is here, and clearly the family are most concerned, as they have been for the last four years, not just to get concerned, as they have been for the last four years, notjust to get her away, but as of yesterday to make sure their grandchild, her child, is not influenced by that sort of thinking. even though she says she has no regrets about why she went and the reasons why she went? well,

it is important to know the context behind this as well. so there have been serious failings in terms of allowing nearly eight girls from that school the opportunity to be groomed by somebody, yet to be found, and also to get over that, and format of those girls actually managed to get to isis territory. in terms of the thinking, it is certainly concerning what she says now, but it falls within a pattern of what these children were groomed into, and our real concern is, yes, shamima isa into, and our real concern is, yes, shamima is a live issue, but what lessons have been learned in terms of avoiding the sort of tragedy in the future? the local council headed byjohn biggs was meant to have statutorily engaged in a special case review, at least twice, and none was done, well they might lessons have not been learned, it seems. have you spoken to shamima yourself? i haven't. the family nor i have managed to make contact with

her yet. ok, because in the interview they said that the times journalist managed to speak to the family, but she has not spoken directly to her family yet, is that correct? yes, correct. in the interview on television over the weekend, she explains she has ignored several calls from her family to come home both publicly and made to her as well and now she is asking for help for her to come home. do you think potentially that is an awkward situation? it certainly is for the family. efforts have been made throughout the format yea rs have been made throughout the format years to have been made throughout the format yea rs to encourage have been made throughout the format years to encourage her back. when contact years to encourage her back. when co nta ct was years to encourage her back. when contact was established, previously, that contact then disappeared for some many months and we assumed the worst, and now she reappears in need of help, but it will be understandable that the family, regardless of what the situation is in the context of a camp where she is surrounded by other isis supporters are, the family will a lwa ys supporters are, the family will always wa nt supporters are, the family will always want to bring their child home and bring them to safely, and

particularly the innocent grandchild that now is in existence. can i ask you, from your dealings with the family, what are they expecting to happen? in terms of their best case scenario, for the pair of them to return to the uk, for there may be to be able to look after their grandchild and kiss my shamima to face whatever she has to face in terms of the law courts in this country? you like it would be along that line but one step being missing —— like that line but one step being missing -- like yes come along that line. the family fully expect her to be quite damaged so they would want an assessment around shamima and as much help around her mental health and recalibration effectively into normal thinking as possible. in terms of any criminal proceedings, thatis terms of any criminal proceedings, that is something she invariably will face depending on what evidence is against her. just on the issue of the child, because she seems to be saying in her interview she not expect but that she may have to be separated from the child. are the family of the same position? the

family of the same position? the family have expressed a view they we re family have expressed a view they were happy to take the child, the responsibility of the child, on their shoulders, even if that means it is not with shamima. ok, i appreciate your time, speaking to us this morning. thank you very much for coming on bbc breakfast. it is 17 minutes past eight and you are watching bbc breakfast. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it looks like spring is on its way? yes, good morning everyone. a mild start. if you are hanging around a bus stop you might not think that but with temperatures it's certainly is. sunshine and showers, some patchy rain moving towards the south—east as well and not as warm as at the weekend. friday will hit 18 degrees. two weather fronts, this one enhancing showers and this one taking patchy rain to the south—east and it is also pretty breezy across the north and west. a plethora of showers that will be on and off through the day. a lot of cloud

across england, also wales, breaking in parts but also producing some patchy rain. this afternoon we hang on those showers, sum with hail and thunder, heavy. brighter skies. northern ireland will also see heavy showers with hail and thunder. north—east england is drier and brighter. a few showers this afternoon in wales but after the rain in the south—west that pushes steadily east and it is the south—eastern corner that hangs onto the cloud and patchy rain, brightening up in the north and west midlands. through this evening and overnight as the high pressure ridge builds a cross us that kills off a lot of the showers. still hanging on in the south—west. under clear skies it means a colder night than the one just gone. some will see some frost and there will also be some patchy mist and fog first thing in the morning. but that will lift. then a lot of sunshine. through the day, the cloud builds on from the west, head of our next system coming in. that will bring rain into northern

ireland in the morning and you will haveit ireland in the morning and you will have it for much of the day on and off. eventually getting into scotland, western england and also wales. temperatures between eight in the north and 12 in the south. for wednesday, southern areas, much of england and wales, dry with sunny spells. northern ireland, north wales, northern england and scotland, some rain. through the day that will tend to weaken and it will brighten up behind. temperatures picking up on the north. looking at 12,13, picking up on the north. looking at 12, 13, down towards the south. for thursday, high pressure still in charge, still breezy. these weather fronts charge, still breezy. these weather fro nts ke pt charge, still breezy. these weather fronts kept at bay. at the source of our wind is fronts kept at bay. at the source of ourwind is coming fronts kept at bay. at the source of our wind is coming up from the azores, a mild direction. you can see the yellows across the charts. temperatures picking up and into saturday we could hit 17, possibly 18, maybe even a little more, but something to keep a close eye on. i wa nt to something to keep a close eye on. i want to show you something different. this is something in

central china, this is rhyme frost, flight central china, this is rhyme frost, flight ice forming when water droplets and fog freeze on objects. these monkeys look like they are enjoying it and you often see it on the tops of mountains, trees —— this is white ice. it doesn't seem to be bothering these monkeys too much at all. back to you two! laughter watch out! what type of frost is it cold rhyme frost? i was about to say, iam cold rhyme frost? i was about to say, i am no cold rhyme frost? i was about to say, iam no kim kardashian. what was that monkey thinking about! a pleasure. thank you. anyway, 20 past eight. nina's been looking into the growing trend of home—run businesses this morning. maison—preneurs!

she's been going through some of your questions about being a home—preneur. nina? yes, that's right. richard branson did it — he started virgin from his home. and according to a report from barclays, more than a third of uk companies are run from wherever their founder lives. that's up 3% over the past five years. earlier, we asked you to get in touch, if you were thinking about or already started a business from home. emma jones is from enterprise nation, which supports small businesses, she's here to answer your questions. we have had a really good response. thanks for getting in touch. rachel ru ns thanks for getting in touch. rachel runs a business selling diy embroidery kits. who knew? she says, do you have investment figure or amount of time and effort you should put in if the signals have been bad? when it is your own business, your heart is in it and you are desperate for it to be successful, when did your heart take over from business sense? eleanor i don't not she wants to hear this, but i would say keep on going. / i don't know if she wa nts to on going. / i don't know if she wants to hear this. this is what we see, their passion is what they want

to do. i would say to anyone who wa nts to to do. i would say to anyone who wants to start a business based on their passion, you will have to spend time working on it. the big message for entrepreneurs still going and building successful businesses, resilience. it has that ability that if you have a little bit of a bad day, that you get up again and say, actually, i will make that sale, do some more market research, test online, well then i would say keep on going. as long as you make sure you're not about to lose your home or anything too severe. miles asking about whether you need to apply for a change in use in your property, the mortgage, what insurance do you need? great question. local councils are looking at whether you change it from a domestic to a business premise, whether you are creating extra noise, traffic, smells coming into the house, you may need to tell your counsel you are running a business from home. also advice for anyone doing this, keep the neighbours on side! the only times we have ever heard when the councils have come

round is when the neighbours have dubbedin round is when the neighbours have dubbed in the home business owners so dubbed in the home business owners so keep them onside. in terms of insurance, have a look at public liability insurance. that helps you in the event of any clients coming to your home. also do a quick 5—step cheque from the health and safety executive, just make sure... might make it is about being sensible, whether it will impact the environment around you. quickly from twitter, joe, i want to scale my business online and make it more accessible using technology but it isa accessible using technology but it is a real challenge, i don't know how to upscale or find that investment. so much help available, again. facebook, instagram, amazon marketplace, these have been huge. check out she means business, a female entrepreneur. listing your business on facebook. check out start up loans, british business bank, angel investors... loads out there. i like yourfirst bank, angel investors... loads out there. i like your first advice, bank, angel investors... loads out there. i like yourfirst advice, do not give up. some of the suggestions. you mentioned

maison—preneurs, the french. what about the scouse? and another comment from twitter, for those who start their business in the shed knome—preneurs! i think that is my favourite. not impressed, dan? we will keep thinking! a bbc breakfast investigation has found a huge rise in the number of abuse allegations made against carers visiting vulnerable people in their own homes. the fivefold increase injust seven years, in just seven years has led to a former care minister to call for an urgent review to ensure that people can live safe and independent lives in the community. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin reports. i put my daughter in there thinking she'd be safe, like a home from home, but that moment you're told your daughter has been sexually assaulted, there's just no words. they tell me about a sister and a daughter, sexually and financially abused here in the home they shared.

a support worker was eventually jailed, 15 years after the first complaint was made. cuts to staffing after a second complaint meant he worked nights here alone. a review said his crimes should have been prevented. we were let down by every single organisation, and all you get is perhaps a "sorry, lessons will be learned." and it happens again and again. bbc breakfast has reported frequently on the drive to keep people with learning disabilities out of institutions — to support them to live independently in their own homes. but is that support always safe? we asked the regulator, the cqc, for data on all the alerts they receive when things appear to go wrong. the figures, spanning seven years, have never been published before. they show over 85,000 incidents or allegations of abuse, almost 16,000 police incidents.

not all of these would have involved support workers. there were a00 unexpected deaths of people under the age of 65, and there were tens of thousands more alerts in supported living — providers which offer more wraparound support. by last year, these alerts were at the highest levels ever, with increases of up to 360%. the cqc say much of this is down to better reporting in a growing sector. any increase in data has got to be concerning, because at the end of the day we're talking about people. but we make sure that we direct resources to the right places at the right time, so that we can keep people safe. are you confident this sector is safe? we have reported widely that the sector is fragile and there are certain points in the sector that have tipped. but this former care minister goes further, saying £7 billion cuts to adult social care since 2010 has taken its toll. i think this calls for an urgent review by the government and the care quality commission, given the scale of concern that these figures demonstrate.

what are they going to do to ensure that people living in the community are safe? the biscuit break now. we are meeting joe in his own home, where he lives with support from jacinta and tom, who's been here for a long time. 22 years now. 22 years! he was about nine when i started with him! you can see he is close to me. the amount paid forjoe's care package has been frozen for 15 years. his mum set up a charity to offer others support, but says it comes at a price many councils aren't willing or able to pay. there are contracts that your charity will say, "it can't be done at that price, so we're not going to do it"? absolutely. this is a really important, and can be a difficultjob. it isn't a minimum wage job. the government is investing £300 million more next year to pay for social care and says reform will be announced soon. good lives well lived in the community is the goal. all eyes will be on the long—awaited social care green paper to see if that is achievable.

jayne mccubbin, bbc news. thanks to jayne for putting together that report and for everybody who has got in touch with us about that as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. more to come a quarter past nine. and more dolly parton! a mixed bag of weather, sunshine at times but quite a mild and breezy picture across the country. some outbreaks of showery rain and in the north—west heavy and potentially thundery. scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, blustery showers and gusty winds with heavy downpours. eastern scotla nd with heavy downpours. eastern scotland and north—east england mostly dry and in the south—east,

democracy with the way it currently handles untrue stories. also in the programme: a financial lifeline for pakistan, as it receives much needed investment from saudi arabia. markets in europe are looking like this after easing intentions of the
