we will look at why the way we talk and the words we use can tell us also in los angeles was bbc arts more than just who we are editor will gompertz, who summed up how oscars night had and where we're from. gone for monday night's news at ten. there were none of the mistakes that hello, good morning. we've got some we've seen in previous years, wet and windy weather this weekend, no envelopes going into the wrong hands, and if there is the odd but it gets worse later on sunday with the arrival of storm freya, and controversy about the choice, well, that's great — it gets people to watch. more people did watch this year than last year. it was more diverse in terms i'll have more on that later on. of those people who won awards, it is saturday 2 march. and olivia colman was great. our top story: the countdown has begun to a major space rocket launch in the united states. it is paving the way for america 0livia colman‘s best actress award to send astronauts into orbit was certainly the story of the night, as far for the first time in eight years. as bbc news was concerned. but some thought its arts editor had the spacex falcon is due to launch abandoned all journalistic at around 7:50am this morning. it will be an unmanned test—flight impartiality in his enthusiasm. jennifer stephens had already to the international space station. detected an excessive fondness nasa says it is a critical mission, for the star of the favourite and if successful, could be a major several hours earlier. step forward in space travel. our science correspondent pallab ghosh has more. later, eamonn larkin wondered...

spacex's mighty falcon rocket, and and jackie hughes had also had enough. on top, the dragon space casual. designed to take four astronauts into space, but notjust yet. instead, just a solitary crash test dummy, wired with sensors, is in one surely a programme about politics of these seats. three, two, one, would be an 0livia colman—free zone. well, no. launch. this crude test is part of politics live also showed her acceptance speech, prompting this reaction in the studio. an ambitious nasa project to send what an acceptance speech. let's welcome deirdre. what did you think of astronauts into space from us soil 0livia colman there? once more. we are doing things that she is wonderful, we're huge fans of her. are once more. we are doing things that there followed a discussion a re really once more. we are doing things that are really risky, that most normal about gender equality in the world human beings to do, and the designs of theatre and film. and the complexity of what we have to do you know, we are strapping i am watching politics live, human beings on top of rockets with which used to be a politics programme, and we have a spectacle millions of pounds of thrust and of olivia colman on the oscars. hurling them into orbit to go can we just stick to politics on politics programmes, attached to a space station to do news on news programmes, and entertainment, celebrities, world cutting research that isn't whatever you want to call them, trivial. it has been eight long yea rs trivial. it has been eight long years since the country that won the

space race has been grounded. the shuttle was withdrawn from service in a bucket somewhere? because it was unsafe, and nasa had to pay the russian space agency to send its astronaut to the space station on its soyuz rockets. but in well, we put those points to bbc 2014, nasa awarded spacex and boeing news, and they told us... a combined £5 billion contract so that each could build their own spacecraft. if they work as planned, nasa hopes to use the vehicles to send astronauts into space by the end of the year. this is something i am very excited thank you for all your comments this week. if you would like to share your about. i knew you would be excited. opinions on bbc news and current we will be joined by libbyjackson affairs, or even appear from the uk space agency to watch on the programme, you can call us, the take offjust after e—mail us, or you can find us on twitter as well. 7:45am this morning. do have a look at our website i can't wait. for previous discussions. that's all from us. there has been a clash at the top we will be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news of the labour party over the way it handles antisemitism allegations. coverage next week. goodbye. the party's general secretary, jennie formby, has accused the deputy leader, tom watson, of undermining the party's attempts to deal with complaints.

here is our political correspondent nick eardley. enough is enough. allegations of anti—semitism have not been easy for the labor party. protests byjewish groups outside parliament, mps quitting the party, accusing the leadership of failing to act, rows over whether it is even a problem. chris williamson, an ally ofjeremy corbyn, was suspended this week for claiming the party had been too apologetic. but now, public row has broken out right at the top. this week i've had 50 complaints... this man, deputy leader tom watson, wants labour to do more to address the issue. he wrote to mps urging them to co nta ct issue. he wrote to mps urging them to contact him with complaints. last night, the pa rty‘s to contact him with complaints. last night, the party's general secretary issued a scathing reply. in a letter to mr watson, sent to every labour mp and pia, jennie formby said...

she suggested mr watson could undermine the work labour's staff are doing to deal with complaints. for labour, agreeing on how to tackle anti—semitism is proving far from simple. the number of smokers in england and wales has fallen while the number of visits to sexual health clinics has gone up, according to a report on council—run health services. the local government association is warning tough budget cuts are undermining future efforts on improving healthca re, but the government says authorities received more than £3 billion of funding this year. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes explains. since 2013 in england, it is your local council that has been responsible for public health. that involves everything from helping people to quit smoking to treating

sexually transmitted diseases. giving councils responsibility for public health was controversial, but today, the local government association says the evidence shows it has been largely successful. for example, the overall number of adult smokers has fallen by 1.6 million cents 2011. teenage pregnancies are down by almost a quarter since 2013, and since 2012, the suicide rate has steadily decreased, and among men is 110w steadily decreased, and among men is now the lowest it has been since 1981. since public health has come over to local government in 2013, we have seen 80% of the key indicators either remain the same or improved. we are showing real success. that is despite a £531 million cut in the public health budget, and 50% reduction in government funding for local government. so overall, i can say that public health and local government is a success. one of the main tasks of public health is to

prevent illness in the first place by encouraging a healthy lifestyle. today's report shows the positive impact on effective public health service can have. but there are warnings that, without it, in the face of rising demand and already a hard—pressed nhs will struggle to cope —— and already hard—pressed nhs will struggle to cope. pakistan has freed an indian fighter pilot who was shot down and captured two days ago in the disputed region of kashmir. crowds waited for hours on the indian side to greet the return of wing commander abhinandan varthaman, who has been treated as a national hero. he is being checked over by doctors before a full debrief with military commanders. the son of former al-qaeda leader 0sama bin laden has been stripped of his saudi arabian citizenship. it comes a day after the united states offered a $1 million reward for information on the whereabouts of hamza bin laden. it is believed he is now the leader of the terror organisation, which is blamed for carrying out the 11 september attacks.

we will be speaking to an expert on al-qaeda a little later in the programme. that is at 7:10am. the search for a british climber who has been missing in the himalayas for almost a week is expected to resume today. tom ballard and his italian companion daniele nardi were trying to scale one of the highest mountains in the world. ben ando reports. last co nta ct last contact from british mountain it tom ballard, climbing with italian daniele nardi, was on sunday, when they had reached 6300 metres, or nearly 21,000 feet, up in the himalayas. it is the world's no highest peak, but with temperatures down to —40 degrees and winds of up to 200 miles an hour, it has become known as killer mt. helicopter searches have reported seeing a tent and traces of an avalanche in the area, but in fort william, in scotland, where mr ballard spent

much of his early life, they are still hoping for good news. big mountains have all the inherent dangers, and things. i suppose on the optimistic side it's probably a very technical route that they are climbing. iam very technical route that they are climbing. i am sure it is... oh no it isa climbing. i am sure it is... oh no it is a new route that they are attempting, so they will be very well kitted outwith, you know, fixed ropes and means to make ways and means of escaping. and if it is really bad weather, climbers have got a good way of holding up. mr ballard's mother, alison hargreaves, was the first woman to climb mount everest without oxygen, but she later died on k2, the world's highest peak. the search for her son and his italian fellow climber is expected to resume later. the italian ambassador described them as tough guys, but added that finding them alive now would be a miracle. eight people have suffered minor injuries after a plane abandoned its take—off at stansted airport. what has been described as a big bang shook the cabin.

considering other things instead of red, oats, peas and letters —— bread. 0ats, peas and lettuce. red, oats, peas and letters —— bread. oats, peas and lettuce. the problem with lettuce if there is no i°y problem with lettuce if there is no joy in throwing the lettuce. i can throw various bits of food that you throughout the morning, and we can see what works. no, those ducks need their five a day. let's take a look at the front pages. the guardian leads on calls for beleaguered transport secretary chris grayling to resign after the government was forced into a humiliating £33 million out—of—court settlement over a botched ferry deal.

the standby ferry deal which will follow brexit. interesting comments from christine lagarde talking about tackling sexism in the workplace, saying some firms may not employ women because they are worried they might cause trouble. one year on from the poisoning of sergei and yulia skripal, the daily mirror leads on a picture story of an aide from the ministry of defence placing flowers on the graves of mr skripal‘s wife and son. that was the spire and his daughter who were targeted with that novichok attack last year. the paper says they feel they cannot visit the cemetery in salisbury, as they fear they are still targets. thousands of crime suspects are carrying out further offences despite being under police investigation, according to the daily mail. the paper details one case in which a thief was accused of carrying out 107 offences within three months of his initial arrest. there is also a photo of the duchess

"holiday prices plunge," says the times, as it reports on record discounts on easter breaks. the paper says tour operators are offering unprecedented discounts of up to 24% following a fall in bookings caused by fears of brexit travel chaos. that means they are cancelling holidays or not taking holidays, so we will see whether there might be some bargains to be had. sorry, i had a bit of a coughing fit. are you all right? yes, i have some really good animal stories. what have you got? i've got a fishing story, this is whitby, and in whitby, it says

wet and windy weather to come. tomorrow we have the arrival of storm freya. that is a long way off at the moment. we have this deep area of low pressure to bring wet and windy weather today. this one is yet to develop. it will develop into a deepening area of low pressure. storm freya arriving tomorrow. right 110w storm freya arriving tomorrow. right now the weather is quite come. rain and drizzle for the eastern side, ve ntosa and drizzle for the eastern side, ventosa comes through, not a great deal. very quickly this morning it turns wet and windy. that will push into scotland and then westernmost parts of england and wales. windy weather arriving with that rain, especially for northern ireland, was in scotland, strong to gale force winds. you will find temperatures 10- 11 winds. you will find temperatures 10— 11 degrees. whait stays dry, the midlands and much of eastern england, temperatures could be up to 14 degrees. —— where it stays dry. the windy weather pushes its way through tonight. never be away from the southernmost parts. very windy

we have got fighting with my family, which is a true life story of wrestling. the aftermath, keira knightley in the post—war drama, and what they had, a tale of memory lost. so, fighting with my family, this is the tale of a young woman, following her dream of becoming a professional wrestler. this is stephen merchant, director and writer. are you a big wrestling fan? massive. really? no. if you grew up in the 70s, it was a big thing. this is a true story about a family in norwich, mother, son, father, daughter, they all wrestle, that is what they do. it has made them slight outsiders, but they all have one shared dream, which is getting the opportunity to go to wwe, american wrestling. in america, it is a huge big business. so they dream of getting the call from wwe, and then it comes in. hello? can i put you on speaker?

go ahead. i am calling from wwe. we were very impressed. we would like both of you to come down to the 02 in london and try out for us. hello? i'd be very happy to accept. good, and we already have a britney. yeah, sure, 0k. thank you so much! i told you!

it was a given. sorry, what is the wwe? nick frost as the dad, and florence pugh, as the netflix original, daughter saraya and then changes to paige. it is the story of what happens when she goes to america to fulfil her dream. but also which she separates from herfamily. the title is fighting with my family. it is inspired by channel 4 documentary, that the rock, who is the executive producer, he saw this documentary, and he comes from a wrestling family, and he was very taken with it, and he thought, we must make a feature film, and he previously worked with stephen merchant on a film called tooth fairy, which i am sure you have not seen, because it is not a classic. i think he has done a really good job. i know nothing about wrestling,

other than what i used to watch, but it has got real heart. it is about the family, it is very funny when it needs to be, but it is also moving, the rivalry between the brother and sister, they both want to succeed, and it is about how close—knit they are, and it is an underdog story. it is about outsiders, people who wrestle all their life, and are looked on as slightly strange to suddenly achieve this... and i thought it was really terrifically well done. and florence pugh, who is so great in lady macbeth, is really, really good in this. world of sport. i remember that. that's right! we are showing our age. the aftermath, this is keira knightley, and alexander ska rsgard. i think that's how they say it in sweden. yes, it sounds wrong when i said it.

immediately after the war, keira knightley is rachael morgan, who is the wife of a british forces officer who is in germany to help with the rebuilding and reconstruction, and they have been put in a house that used to be owned by a german family, who have lost members of their family, and she is there with her husband, her husband is away all the time, and alexander ska rsgard is the person in the attic who is very handsome and hunky, and he spends time sitting with keira knightley while they play piano together. what could possibly happen? the thing is, these are good performers, it is directed by the same guy who did testament of youth. it is a handsome film, if you have seen the posters, it is a good production, but it does lack spark. it felt wooden and clunky. you could see exactly where it was going, with the drama, and it's not like every drama has to surprise you, but you need to feel passionately involved in characters, you need to believe in them, and at no point did i think

i was watching anything other than a group of talented actors acting. because of the acting of the script? i suspect, the script. sometimes, films like this don't catch a fire, and this just doesn't. it is very strange, but it felt very disconnected. 0k, number three is what they had. this is an american drama, a woman returning home to help herfather and brother decide how to care for the ailing mother. yes. hilary swank and michael shannon are the two siblings. hilary swank lives a long way away.

she has to go into a home, she is out walking the streets in the snow, but the father will have none of it at all. here is a clip. there is this place that nicky found. it looks like it could be a really... i am not putting your mother in a nursing home. she spent 30 years working on them, they are horrible. and i am not doing it to her. it's great. they get mass twice a week, restaurant, classes, ajacuzzi. a jacuzzi? your mother can't swim, do you want to drown her? you can't drown in one of those. she is terrified of water. there is a two—bedroom right next door, and assisted living for you. are you out your mind?

she feels the same way. how the hell do you know what she feels? how do you know? you can see from that, terrific committed performances. if you have any first—hand experience of people with alzheimer's you will know that there are moments of this that really strike true. the problem is, it feels rather stagey. it doesn't feel particularly cinematic. i almost felt like i was watching a stage play, if i was in a theatre, i would be completely engrossed. but it does not feel like a particular cinematic piece of cinema. that said, it is done with conviction, and it is sensitive to its subject matter, and when it gets things right, it is really good, but it did have that kind of theatrical construction that everybody gets their moment when they step forward and do the speech, that everybody gets their own issues that they have to do result. it is very mapped out, and very schematic, and it feels rather theatrical. it does however have more

spark than the aftermath. it's not particular cinematic. those are great actors, with very committed performances. best out at the moment. capernaum. it is the story about the tribulations of a street kid, who ends up taking his parents to sue them, and i think the thing about it being directed by somebody who is an actor, i think they understand how to get the best with their cast whether it is the adult or the kid performer. stephen spielberg once said, if you are working with children, they don't act, theyjust be, you have to convince them that the situation is as real as possible. it is very moving, and i am yet

to meet anybody who has seen it and has not found it very moving. i thought it was very good. also, green book, which won best film. yes, interesting, that it's almost like driving miss daisy won again. it is not the best film of the year by one million miles. clearly the best film of the year was leave no trace, which was nominated for no 0scars. we both loved it. i must say, i enjoyed green book. it's fun, it's all right, but it's not the oscar for the best picture. best dvd? halloween. everybody thought the franchise was finished, but it is back. this time, with something like post—traumatic stress disorder, and i never thought it would breathe life into the trilogy, i made a documentary

about it 20 years ago, saying it had all run its course and i thought it was good. it was scary and creepy and fun. which is the sort of film you like, because you love your horror! thank you so much for watching. hello, this is breakfast, with jon kay and naga munchetty. good morning. here is a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: for the first time in eight years, an american rocket capable of carrying astronauts is preparing to blast off from the kennedy space centre in florida. the spacex falcon is due to launch at around 7:50am this morning for an unmanned test flight to the international space station.

based on that, i can tell you someone based on that, i can tell you someone who will never struggle when he is older. well, some of the stories he has to tell us in the sport are not so pleasant. but not many things get me down. i think it is the sport that keeps me going, really, always something cheerful the report, isn't there? especially in glasgow, a golden start for katarina johnson—thompson and lorn your. —— laura muir. katarina johnson—thompson has become european champion in the indoor pentathlon after an emphatic victory in glasgow. she missed out on a world record byjust over two seconds in the end, finishing the last event in a time of two minutes and nine seconds. world junior heptathlon champion niamh emerson collapsed over the line, but it was still enough to pick up a silver medal and join johnson—thompson on the podium. i was going to say i can't really ask more, but in the long jump i did

wa nt ask more, but in the long jump i did want a little bit more, but it is really high level today, so i am really high level today, so i am really ha p py really high level today, so i am really happy with the performance i gave. 4900 points is a really good score, it is my second best ever. so yes, iam score, it is my second best ever. so yes, i am really happy i got to come away with the gold. and laura muir, queen of scots, won the 3,000 metres in stunning fashion in front of her home crowd. she lapped almost the entire field to cross the line and give britain a second gold of the first day in glasgow. great britain's melissa courtney finished in third, and this was her second race of the evening. she had competed in a 1,500 metre heat earlier in the evening, which she also won. you can watch her in that 1,500 metres final on sunday evening. to her, she ran a great race and we worked really hard, but ijust knew i can't lose it here. this is my home turf, home track i can't not come away with a gold today, and i am just so happy i could do that.

the track cycling world championships continue in poland later, with hopes for british medals in the women's madison event. 0ne athlete not competing in poland, though, is double olympic champion kristina vogel. she was paralysed in a training accident last year. she has been speaking with sir chris hoy as part of a documentary for the bbc. in it, she says she knew straight away that she would never walk again. but that, she said, wasn't the toughest bit. the hardest thing was that they hurt people outside so hard, and when i organised to tell other people in my family about my accident and what will happen with me, and how they cried, and... sometimes you feel that, yes, i leave them alone. it is stupid. leeds united are back on top of the championship after their biggest win of the season against promotion rivals west brom. and it tookjust 16 seconds

that i felt it was probably then the time to move on to my next challenge. rodgers has to wait until sunday for his first game at home to watford. manchester city can go top of the premier league for 24 hours by beating bournemouth later, while it is also the north london derby. two straight defeats have seen spurs slip out of title contention, but manager mauricio pochettino says his players won't need any help getting up for the lunchtime kick—off. of course they have to motivate the player for this type of game. i think we know very well what it means to play against arsenal, we know very well that we are going to be motivated, and we are going to have a team that is very motivated too. scotland women's coach shelley kerr says her side must learn to overcome higher—ranked sides, after slipping to a late defeat to canada in the algarve cup. a late penalty dashed dreams of a draw against the world number five side. scotland must beat iceland on monday to avoid finishing bottom

of their group. it doesn't get much tougher or much better preparation for england tonight, as they face world number ones the usa in the she believes cup. they could actually win the tournament with a victory, and if other results go their way. defender lucy bronze knows the challenge that lies in wait in nashville. we know what the game brings, especially playing it in america, as well. there will be a big crowd, and well. there will be a big crowd, and we know that crowd is going to be against us, probably. but i think for the best gains it is what we look forward to these days. we want to play the big games because we have a chance of winning them. because we can compete and we can play against these teams now. castleford tigers have gone top of super league following a convincing 32—16 win at home to hull kingston rovers. at the other end of the table, leeds rhinos' dire start to the season continued as they were beaten 35—18 by wakefield. it was their first home game of the season. they have won just one of five matches so far.

11 years after their last victory over gloucester, bristol have finally ended that drought. they won 28—24 at ashton gate to climb up to ninth in the premiership. the best try was this effort from scrum—half andy uren early in the second half. now do you ever tell your kids off, for playing too much fifa on their x—box or playstation? well, now they could be pulling on the three lions shirt. or should that be e—lions shirt? really? so next weekend, the fa will hold qualifiers to represent england at the inaugural fifa enations cup in april. it is the first national e—sports team, and anybody over the age of 16 in england can take part. and each team in the premier league

has players representing them. some earn hundreds of thousands of pounds. the money is big around the world. maybe i will start to tell my kids to play more. and when a new game comes out they have to spend 12 hours a day, which doesn't sound great at first, but it is a profession. this is something com pletely profession. this is something completely different, really. it is outside and they are among the most daring motorbike riders in the country. and yet some of the tigers display team are as young as five. indeed all of the stunt riders are under 17, and they're helping to keep the sport going after the last of the famous adult display teams broke up. ahead of their summer tour, i've been to join the tigers in training in hampshire. revving up for the new season, the boys and girls who tour the country performing stunts on motorbikes.

including kenny, who isjust six.|j like doing the firejumps, and i like doing the firejumps, and i like it that high. in the first time you do it, you get a bit scared, but then you really like it. legs in the air, it is hard to believe i am seeing children as young as five learning these stunts on motorbikes. it's incredible, he's only been here for three months training with them, he'd never been on a motorbike before, and his jumping, he'd never been on a motorbike before, and hisjumping, you know, off ramps. slightly scary. what is it you as a mum? it slightly scary, but is incredibly confident. i think that's what good for older kids, it gives them an amazing amount of confidence. the tigers, along with rockets and the imps, are the only surviving display teams now. the public displays raise money for

children's charities. as long as he can ride a bicycle without stabilisers, we do the rest. it is unbelievable, but to see your kid going from that all—out to jumping a car is amazing. the older they become, the more extreme their bike tricks are. it hurts, at first. you get used to it, you strengthen your legs, and you eventually don't feel it unless it goes wrong. if you are good and if you concentrate, it's not dangerous. but, like me, i'm a bit... you know, so i fall off quite a bit. but, like others who occasionally fall, it doesn't stop brooke getting back on. now, like me, the tigers have learned from the 110w me, the tigers have learned from the now disbanded white helmets team. but unlike act in 2012, this time i am going to be on my own bike. it is one of those sports in which it really helps to learn at a young age, andi really helps to learn at a young age, and i am letting him show me the lines to take around this beginner track. but at his control,

steady speed, perfect. my first attempt to integrate into the team andjoina attempt to integrate into the team and join a criss—cross routine didn't last long. just shows how technical these manoeuvres are. i got rather confused, but i was still persuaded to try my first everjump. well, i will tell you what, if five —year—olds can do it, surely, surely ican. —year—olds can do it, surely, surely i can. although i didn't exactly fly over. so they turned up the heat, the likes of kenny setting the pace, as ifi the likes of kenny setting the pace, as if i wasn't sweating enough. now, don't try this at home. it is done in very controlled conditions, under the supervision of instructors. having survived, i needed a lie down. not what i had in mind, but it shows that in training, all the pa rents shows that in training, all the parents have to do this. that's enough. it's all about trust and meticulous training, and in 39 years it has never gone wrong, despite my concerns. and the finish it off, i was told to close my eyes for the show‘s finale. i think i have aged

about 15 years. probably 30 years, really. i would have been more comfortable wearing the tiger suit, but it was a bit small for me, really. after two of them went over me, that was enough, but they all had to have a go.|j wouldn't have let them jump over me, let alone jump over me on the bike. not sure if it is cycling conditions this weekend. there are some warnings as well. darren is the want to tell us more. it was not long ago that we were sitting in sunshine and it was 21 degrees. we have gone from one extreme to another. we have some wet and windy weather. storm freya arriving later on tomorrow as well. ahead of that, which are still to develop, we have this area of low pressure which will dry wet and windy weather our way today. this is the developing storm. it is not anything at the moment, but it develops into a deep area of low pressure later on tomorrow. today,

things are quite to begin with. we have rain and drizzle for the eastern side of england and scotland, that which is sunshine coming through. very quickly we have wet and windy weather arriving and that pushes its way across scotland and into western parts of england and into western parts of england and wales. the stronger twins will be western scotland, northern ireland. strong to gale force winds developing. it is a southerly wind. even in the rain temperatures will be 10— even in the rain temperatures will be 10- 11 even in the rain temperatures will be 10— 11 degrees. whait stays dry, the midlands and much of eastern england, 14 is likely. the wind and rain pushing eastwards during this evening. it gets very windy in the north—west of scotland. severe gales and frequent and heavy showers. the rain ofa and frequent and heavy showers. the rain of a really clears away from southern parts of england and wales once arise. in between some clearer skies and temperatures around three 01’ skies and temperatures around three orfour skies and temperatures around three or four celsius. tomorrow, skies and temperatures around three orfour celsius. tomorrow, very windy again across north—west scotland, more showers. we have the screen in southern parts of england and wales, one bad moves northwards,

followed by another one. the gets as far north as southern scotland, northern ireland, could be quite heavy. showers following behind. mild winds picking up as well. is the strength of the wind that will be the issue as we head into tomorrow. this is storm freya. this stage it is a deep area of low pressure. the track may change. strongest winds to the southern flank of that area of low pressure. this is where we have the yellow wind warnings from the met office for on sunday and into sunday night. the winds start to pick up in the south—west and wales tomorrow afternoon. into tomorrow evening. gusts up to 70 mph, possibly 80 through some coast and the irish sea. 0vernight they transfer towards a southern parts of scotland. as we headed towards the rush hour on monday morning, it will still be windy in north—east scotland and north—eastern parts of england and south scotland, the winds will is down it will be blustery throughout. the winds from storm freya could

bring some travel disruption overnight into monday morning. bring some travel disruption overnight into monday morning. thank you very much. i love storm freya. pretty name. horrible weather. but the name takes the edge of it ever so slightly. we are going to take that rocket launch in one's time. now, a bit earlier than usual this week, it's time for newswatch. we will see with the headlines at seven o'clock. hello and welcome to newswatch, with me, samira ahmed. coming up: the bbc invites members of the public to help shape its coverage of brexit for a day. is that wise? and 0livia colman won an oscar on sunday, but did bbc news go on too much about the idea of her as a national treasure? one of the few things we can say with certainty about brexit is that it has divided the nation, confusing and infuriating many. and, as regular newswatch viewers know, the same is true of bbc news's brexit coverage, driven by members of the public. and what about politicians we see on the media? do you think we get

clarity from them? what is the feeling? not at all, not at all. we don't get a balanced or measured view, in terms of what the actual pros and cons of either moving out or staying in is, and hopefully the pieces that we get involved in gives people a chance to get a different view from the normal view. a panel of 12 people with different political views featured on a range of output across radio and tv throughout the day, giving their views and asking questions ofjournalists. ed harris wondered... and mike dixon thought it was all...

i am joined by the editorial directorfor bbc news, kamal ahmed. i will start with where the idea of where this day came from. the bbc has done a huge amount. i know we have had our critics, but we have done a huge amount, before the referendum and since the referendum, to try and explain some of the key themes, to try and unravel some of the complexities, that as you say many people found irritating. and we want to keep pushing ourselves. and this idea came from, how can we let the audience into the process, and let them make the decisions about what we do? so we very deliberately chose a panel of 12 people from across the political spectrum, geographically, socio—economic background, and asked them what they wanted us to do. we had a special news conference last week, so we could prepare some pieces, and then they've been involved in our decision—making,

or they were involved in our decision—making all day on friday. and so it'sjust a question of what does the audience want to know, and how can we help them understand this very complicated issue? given how divided britain is, going back to the referendum, and it's still very divided, how could a day like that with a panel like that provide any clarity? what's been really interesting is that what people want to know is what the effects could be of britain leaving the european union, whether that's on food imports, whether that's on health insurance when travelling, what is likely to be the relationship for european citizens in britain, and eu citizens in britain, and british citizens in the rest of the european union. but you're right, samira, there are lots of things we still don't know. so some of it, we've got

to say we're not sure, here are some likely outcomes. but what it has revealed and what it has really helped us think about is they want some practical answers. of course, there's a lot of political heat, as you say. there are a lot of people who are disagreeing with each other. but what the audience is telling us is tell us the practical facts. but that is always a dispute, we hear it on newswatch, with people saying you are scaremongering, it's going to be fine. a lot of it depends on people's beliefs. we don't know the answers to these questions. it's not about whether you believe it's going to be fine. we at the bbc are about what is the evidence about whether it will be fine or not, and what are experts saying, what is ourjudgement about these issues, and what is the public saying itself? and i think it's to our credit that we're saying we want to talk to the audience in a very different type of way, we want to involve them in our decision—making. a lot of the audience say we feel too distant from them. in the media in general, all the media feels too distant. so we say let's break down those barriers, and do our best to

answer the questions. it's not perfect, we know it's not perfect, but it is an attempt to try and unravel some of these complexities. people still say that, if the bbc defines itself as professionaljournalists with a duty to inform and educate. so what are you doing handing over to the public for a day? we are still professional journalists. we're not scared of the audience, though. we should involve the audience, and we're here for the audience. yes, we are professionals, and of course we stick to the absolute professional standards of the bbc in all cases. it was not that we were simply — this was about the collaboration with audiences. it's a different way of thinking about how we do news. in the 9:00am meeting, which is our main editorial meeting, to start the day, it was great to have the audience members, members of the public, in that meeting saying, do you know what you should do today? something about food, or you should do something about health insurance in europe, if we leave without a deal. some were saying you're too negative about leaving the european union, some other people saying you're too negative about remaining in the european union. it makes us think differently. it's a really — we've learnt a huge amount, because we are listening directly

to what the audience want. some viewers are also saying, you know what? this is all too little, too late, and an admission, going back to that original referendum campaign, that the bbc failed to challenge enough, to inform enough, and to explain adequately when it really mattered. so i was the economics editor before the referendum. certainly in the economics and business unit, this was the area i was involved in at the time, we did a huge amount of trying to explain what could be the economic ramifications of different types, if we left or didn't leave. of course, we did a huge amount since then — specials on television, specials on the radio, a huge amount online about jargon—busting. of course, the public are keen to hear more, and that's what this audience day was all about. kamal ahmed, thank you very much. sunday night saw the annual razzmatazz of the oscars, and the annual howls from some newswatch viewers that bbc news wastes too much airtime and money on what james thompson called

this lovey—dovey backslapping. and the following day, newsround compiled this video paying tributes to danjohnson‘s efforts. he did have some success, too, securing a word with director spike lee, among others, and his efforts were appreciated
