10:02 pm
home addresses of people receiving new years honours — including police officers, politicians and celebrities — was accidentally published by the government. the department responsible has apologised and said the information was removed as soon as the error was discovered. our correspondent katy austin reports. among more than a thousand people to receive an award in the new year honours list this year are celebrities and sports people, but also senior politicians, police and security personnel. at some point last night a list containing recipients‘ addresses was published, meaning some people were able to download the information. many appeared to be personal addresses although no contact information appears for six ministry of defence staff. the document was discovered by a member of the public. i saw the new year's honours list was coming out, wondered who was on it, went to the gov.co.uk website and downloaded a csv file of all of the recipients, opened it up and it had full names and addresses of all the recipients
10:03 pm
including street numbers, names and postcodes, everything, which was quite remarkable. a cabinet office spokesperson said... it is believed the document was online forjust under an hour before being removed, but there are questions to answer about how it got there in the first place. well household names and previously unsung volunteers are part of group to be recognised in the new year honours list. sir eltonjohn has received the highest accolade — he's been made a companion of honour. other singers feature — olivia newtonjohn becomes a dame, and billy ocean is made an mbe.
10:04 pm
the film directors sam mendes and steve mcqueen are knighted. four members of england's world cup—winning cricket team have also had their achievements recognised. kathryn stanczysyn reports. olivia newton—john says she's grateful beyond words to be made a dame for services to charity. a damehood too for former tv presenter, floella benjamin for her lifelong work with children's charities. volunteering always features heavily in honours list, with many who aren't household names being rewarded. i'm no hero, i was lucky, i'm here, all the heroes are dead and i'll never forget them as long as i live. thank you, darling! people like d—day veteran harry billinge, who becomes an mbe in recognition of his work fund—raising for veterans. you know when i'm doing this collection i get a wonderful calm comes over me, because i'm doing something for the boys.
10:05 pm
back in 2012, rhian manning's one—year—old son, george, died. her husband, paul took his own life five days later. she now runs a charity in wales to help those experiencing bereavement and is now an mbe. it's starting to sink in, i still can't believe it, i'm pretty overwhelmed, i haven't slept much. yeah, bitter sweet in a way, but i'm extremely proud, i really am. in the world of politics, some controversy. the decision to award a knighthood to the former work and pensions secretary iain duncan smith has been criticised by opposition parties over his introduction of universal credit. and some questions over a damehood for former director of public prosecutions alison saunders after a number of scandals. in entertainment there were knighthoods for two british film makers — steve mcqueen, who directed the oscar—winning 12 years a slave and sam mendes, who directed bond films sky fall and spectre.
10:06 pm
and in sport, eoin morgan who, captained england to victory in the cricket world cup becomes a cbe, ben stokes an obe, jos buttler and joe root both mbes. an mbe too for england star jill scott for services to women's football. earlier, i spoke to taekwondo world and double olympic champion jadejones who has been awarded an obe. she told me it felt amazing to receive the title. to be recognised at the highest level and to be going to the palace again to receive an honour, it's just amazing and obviously i was so young last time getting so, so i feel like i will appreciate it more this time. yeah, we're watching some pictures of you celebrating back in 2012, when you won your olympic title there. you talked about the feeling of being at the palace and getting that honour, give us a sense of how the day unfolds.
10:07 pm
yeah, no, it was just so special, i remember me mum, me nan and grand—dad being there and even for them to get to go to the palace and i remember itjust being dead emotional and you know me being in a little town in flint and then being in the palace, it was just surreal and so magical. and people often make something of the fact that i think you get told about this quite a long time before you're allowed to say anything, you've got to keep the secret. yeah, that's the hard thing, obviously i got told and then they say, "you're not allowed to tell anyone," and obviously like i told my mum and said, "you know, you cannot tell anyone," and i know what she's like for keeping secrets, so she found it very hard, but i'm glad now you know it's out in the open and i can say it proudly and like you know celebrate it and be happy. what kind of a difference do you think this kind of recognition makes, particularly to the sport of taekwondo and women who are competing in that sport? yes, i'm proud to be a woman in sport and
10:08 pm
it's getting bigger and bigger and also taekwondo, it started off such a minority sport and to see it grow and how much funding it's getting and how much recognition it's getting now, itjust amazing and like you said it makes me proud and hopefully can i pass stuff on to the next generation and make them look up to it and you know want to achieve great things themselves. absolutely. now of course, today's story about the honour‘s list has been — overshadowed is maybe too strong a word, but there has been controversy, because there has been this data breach, when you become aware of the fact that your address may have been temporarily visible to people looking at that list online? well, to be honest i didn't even know until i was just listening to it now, so, yeah, it's literally the first i've heard of it. yeah, you know, obviously mistakes can be made and i know it is dangerous about people's addresses getting out, but you know i'm sure they didn't do it on purpose.
10:09 pm
how concerning is that to you that people might be able to see where you live and find out information that normally would be very private? yeah, you know it is scary, but it is a good job i do taekwondo! we have heard that the cabinet office is trying to contact people, but from what you're saying you have not had a phone call or any contact today to tell you about what had happened? no, not as of yet, no. but you would a hope to hear directly from them about what's been done and what they're doing now? yeah, definitely, because i think for me as well it wouldn't even my my address, it would be my mum's address. hopefully, if my address has gone out, then i would like to know about it. just tell us about looking ahead to the future, because of course tokyo 2020 could be a further olympic title for you? yeah, i think it's so exciting and at first i was a little bit stressed about it, because there is a lot of pressure, but especially now going into 2020,
10:10 pm
i'm really excited and just feel very privileged and honoured to have the chance to try and make history, you know going for my third olympics and, like i said, to have the chance to have that shot is just amazing and i will put my heart and soul on the mat and give everything i've got to get that third gold.
10:11 pm
a major breach of personal data. the government apologises
10:12 pm
after publishing the addresses online of all those receiving new year's honours celebrities, sports stars, politicians and counter—terrorism officers are among the 1000 recipients whose details have been published. the information commissioner's office is investigating. at least 70 people have been killed after a car bomb explodes during the rush hour in the capital of somalia. the lawyer for the surviving family of the pastor and his children who drowned while on holiday in spain says a more indepth investigation is needed. and in cricket — a challenge for england as they battle to save the first test against south africa.
10:13 pm
good evening. the government has apologised after a list of more than a thousand home addresses of people receiving new year's honours was accidentally published online. the list — which included police officers, politicians and celebrities — was uploaded on the cabinet office website before being removed an hour later. the information commissoner‘s office, which has the power to fine organisations for data breaches, said it will be making enquiries — as our correspondent, katy austin, reports. this new year, honours will go to more than 1000 people. musicians like sir elton john, more than 1000 people. musicians like sir eltonjohn, sportspeople including ben stokes, politicians such as iain duncan smith and former director of public prosecutions, alison saunders. there are also security, counterterror and justice personnel and chief constables. i list including addresses were spotted online last night. names,
10:14 pm
addresses, home addresses, in fact. and all of the awards. i am shocked and stunned, trying to get messages onto the website and was trying to get in touch via twitter but there was no one around and no response. it is thought the list was available online for about one hour. a cabinet office spokesperson told the bbc that a version of the new year honours 2020 list was published in error which contained recipients‘ addresses. the information was removed as soon addresses. the information was removed as soon as addresses. the information was removed as soon as possible. we apologise to all those affected. according to the cabinet office, everybody affected is being contacted and it is looking into how this has happened. it is reported the matter to the information commissioner‘s office and the ico is likely to assess whether there has been any breach of data protection legislation. they will be looking at the reasons and factors that contributed to the access information coming out this time. so
10:15 pm
they will be looking at processes, looking at staff training, looking at the tools and resources that the staff have to use. the scale of possible data breach here is relatively small but the notable people affected and the potential of their security being put at risk makes this embarrassing for the government. katie austin, bbc news. at least 70 people — many of them university students — have been killed after a car bomb exploded during morning rush hour in the capital of somalia. the blast took place at a checkpoint at a busyjunction in mogadishu. around 90 people were wounded. andrew harding reports. moments after the blast, an eyewitness films the scene. smoke still billowing from a vehicle. the remains of what is thought to have been a massive car bomb. shocked civilians move in to look for survivors. the attack was timed to catch the morning rush hour in mogadishu. many students had been
10:16 pm
heading to classes. dozens were killed when the bomb exploded at a busy intersection of the somali capital. attacks like this are not unusual here but they are seldom so deadly. this man said the blast caught him as he was getting out of a mini—bus heading to work. his leg injured. within minutes, emergency workers were at the scene. somalia, plagued by violence for decades, is still wrestling with extremism. the country‘s president quickly blamed the islamist militant group al—shabaab. mohamed farmajo said their aim was to instill terror and to prevent the country from rebuilding. they will never succeed, he said. al—shabaab — linked to al-qaeda — is still a powerful threat in a country plagued by drought, by feuding clans and by the aftermath of a terrible civil war. but the group has lost ground in recent years, targeted by american drones
10:17 pm
and african union troops. today‘s devastating attack will fuel fears that somalia‘s security forces are too weak and divided to protect civilians in mogadishu and that foreign troops who are supposed to be on their way out will be needed here for many years to come. andrew harding, bbc news. the lawyer representing the family of a british father and his two children who drowned in a hotel swimming pool in spain says more in—depth investigation into their deaths is needed. the hotel has insisted the pool was working normally, but the mother of the children says all three could swim. helena wilkinson reports. this is gabriel diya with his nine—year—old daughter, comfort. they both died, as did her brother, praise—emmanuel. mr diya‘s wife and the children‘s mother, olubunmi
10:18 pm
diya, says all three could swim and suggested there was something wrong with the pool. police say there was nothing wrong with it but the family lawyer has questioned that. translation: if the spanish police can give us a possible cause for this tragic incident we might do a parallel investigation with experts to find out what happened. it is very rare for three people to die in the centre of a swimming pool, especially in the case of a tall, hefty man. earlier the resort with the family were staying issued a new statement disputing mrs diya‘s claims. it said there were directly at odds with the findings of the police report. and it makes clear, it said, that they‘re in for investigations have confirmed the pill was working normally and there was no malfunction of any kind. it was no malfunction of any kind. it was on christmas eve, when the family all went to this pool. mrs ds says her children went in by the steps but found themselves dragged into the middle, where it was
10:19 pm
deeper. her husband jumped in to help. not long after, all three were underwater. the police have described it as a tragic accident. but the family‘s suggestion of carrying out their own investigation shows just how dissatisfied they are. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the family of a man who was shot dead in wandsworth in south west london on christmas eve say they are in a state of shock. flamur beqiri was a swedish national aged 36. detectives are continuing to appeal for anyone with information to come forward. no arrests have been made. campaigners are calling for a radical overhaul of britain‘s railways to try to improve travel. the pressure group campaign for better transport argues there should be a major fares reform, a single national railcard and more control of services given to major cities outside london. olivia richwald has the details. tannoy: the train to nottingham has been cancelled... leeds station this morning where passengers faced delays and cancellations.
10:20 pm
britain‘s trains have been described as expensive, overcrowded and unreliable by the campaign for better transport, and today the group is calling for a radical overhaul of the way the railways are run. it suggests that franchises should be scrapped and fares reformed, but it doesn‘t estimate how much that would cost. before today‘s report, the government was already considering big changes. within the next few weeks the department for transport is expected to publish plans which it says will put passengers first and create a fairer and more effective system and that is something that people here in leeds think is overdue. there was a week about two months ago where i got about 1k trains that week and every single one was delayed by about ten minutes or more. every time we have ever been on a train it has either been cancelled or delayed or it is so busy. if it is more effective to have it brought back into the council and they actually have control over what is going on i think that probably could be quite good.
10:21 pm
you need the service but you can't guarantee it. and that is the biggest frustration for me personally. another suggestion is handing more control of the railways to cities and regions, something which has been welcomed by the mayor of greater manchester. if we had more control we could integrate the trains with our trams, buses, we could make it a london style integrated transport system, and that is what a city like manchester needs if we are to go up to the next level. it can‘t be right that it costs much more to travel around manchester than it does to travel round london. meanwhile, train fares are due to increase by an average of 2.7% in just three days‘ time. olivia richwald, bbc news, leeds. a new high security hospital has opened at broadmoor in berkshire, replacing the renowned former building which dates back to victorian times. patients include potentially dangerous offenders and some referred for specialist treatment by the nhs. there is capacity to treat more
10:22 pm
than 200 male patients. bbc news has been given exclusive access to the new facility, where staff and patients contributed ideas for the design. our health editor, hugh pym, reports. newsreel: broadmoor has as much security as a prison. but it‘s reluctant to discuss its business because the people there are patients. the old image of broadmoor. a bleak, high security institution, housing among its patients some notorious killers since it opened in the 19th century. but as a mental health hospital, the building latterly was unfit for purpose. i think broadmoor, it‘s fair to say, has been criticised about the environments for quite a long time now. they have been modified as best as we could modify them but patently they did not have the room the patients require. they didn‘t have the space for things like group therapy or interviews or even ward rounds. this is the original broadmoor building. patients have been accommodated here for more than 150 years. the building will now be sold off
10:23 pm
and the patients have been moved to the new broadmoor, which is right next door. we were given an exclusive tour of the new hospital shortly before patients moved in. there are large, open—plan communal areas designed for easier monitoring by staff, workshops and a multi—faith room and enhanced cctv. one former patient involved with others on the design of the new facilities explained the likely benefits. because of the way the wards have been created, with better lines of sight, it is a more spacious, more comfortable, friendlier environment. it should make for happier patients. and that is quite possibly going to result in people getting out quicker. whether patients have been sent to broadmoor from the courts and prison service or have been referred by the nhs because they are a danger to themselves or the public, the aim in the new hospital is more effective care. i think the opportunities that our patients have to access
10:24 pm
treatments and therapies, perhaps at a quicker stage, we would expect to see a shorter length of stay here. our length of stay at the moment is about five—and—a—half years. one of our objectives would be that we would bring that down further. management stressed that security and the safety of staff and the public remains a key priority. they hope something better can be offered to patients and perhaps there can be a change of image for the hospital after 150 years. hugh pym, bbc news, broadmoor. with all the sport now, here‘s holly hamilton at the bbc sport centre. good evening. england‘s cricketers are hoping to finish off an unforgettable year with another improbable chase. they have a record target of 376 to beat south africa in the first test in centurion — but rory burns has given them a promising start going into day four. adam wild was watching. wherever england travel, their barmy army follows — here more in hope than expectation.
10:25 pm
but on this centurion morning what they found was frustration — a sickness bug ravaging the england squad. south africa unsympathetic, extending their lead further and further. jofra archer eventually found a way through but in the end it felt more like a blip, quinton de kock getting to grips with the best bowling england had to offer. tempers getting frayed, ben stokes and stuart broad with a frank exchange of views, but they soon seemed to put it behind them. stokes replaced broad and then he did this. that is how to settle an argument. the exhaustion of all that effort, though, obvious, for all of england‘s bowlers. jofra archer‘s fifth wicket of the innings greeted with only muted celebration. south africa‘s final flourish taking their lead to 375. time to rest and recover, there was a huge task ahead. it could have been tougher still had opener rory burns not been dropped before he really got going. when he did, he took england to 121
10:26 pm
with the loss of only one wicket. he will be back tomorrow, and so, of course, will they. perhaps now with just a little more hope. adam wild, bbc news. on to the premier league. time to look away if you want to find out the results on match of the day after the news. for the rest of you, there were wins for everton, watford and manchester united. tottenham salvaged a draw at norwich. but another defeat for west ham has led to yet another managerial casualty. in the last couple of hours, the club has confirmed manuel pellegrini has been sacked after 18 months in charge. their 2—1 home defeat to leicester was their ninth loss in the past 12 games — leaving them 17th and just one point above the relegation zone. in today‘s big race, gordon elliott s delta work left it late but produced a strong finish to win the savills chase at leopardstown. ridden by jack kennedy, the 11—2 shotjust got up to deny long—time leader monalee in the final straight to complete a grade one double
10:27 pm
in the final straight there were wins for bath and worcester in the english premiership while leicester tigers battled back to draw with harlequins at twickenham. meanwhile, northampton returned to the top as they saw off gloucester in a seven—try thriller at franklin‘s gardens. cobus reinach went over twice in the second half to secure the bonus point in a 33—26 victory. in the pro1li, edinburgh beat glasgow warriors to move top of conference b. darcy graham scored twice in a 29—19 victory. elsewhere, leaders leinster beat munster 13—6. there‘s more on the bbc sport website. but from me, goodnight. kate... you can see more on all of today‘s stories on the bbc news channel. that‘s all from me. goodnight.
10:28 pm
saturday sunshine was in short supply, saturday sunshine was in short supply, we have a lot of cloud and grey, gloomy how is sunday shaping up. not a great deal of change on saturday with a front over western scotland and the pattern further south is not much different, although there may be some drier air in the south eastern corner of the british isles. soa eastern corner of the british isles. so a better chance of seeing some sunshine. eight to ten here. under a more complete blanket of cloud in scotla nd more complete blanket of cloud in scotland it could be up to 1a degrees. there are signs of a change from sunday to monday and that front will begin to show signs of wanting to come further south. a lot of cloud around on monday night, so
10:29 pm
relatively speaking for the time of year the temperatures are above the seasonal norm. on monday we will see the first signs of mild air so many of us have seen giving away behind that weather front as it slips down through scotland and northern ireland and eventually just through scotland and northern ireland and eventuallyjust bringing enough cloud to the north—west of england and wales for there to be the odd spot of rain. to the south of that the air will be drier and it could be sunny with temperatures up to 14. could be sunny with temperatures up to 1a. but something cooler and fresher beginning to show its hand in the north—west of scotland and monday into tuesday we complete that process almost of bringing in the fresher conditions across much of the british isles. save for the far south. the front rather dying a death as the pressure builds in. so a lot of cloud through the channel and the south west, but elsewhere a decent day with a lot of dry weather
10:30 pm
and more cloud in north western scotla nd and more cloud in north western scotland and no more the 10 to 13, but the upper single figures. but by no means cold. from tuesday, new year‘s eve, a lot of dry weather and things settled if you have party plans. could be some mist and fog around and if your on the move first thing on new year‘s day, wednesday, fog could be an issue. but otherwise it is dry and temperatures upper single figures for many parts of british isles. the high pressure will dominate in the middle of week and fits into that dome in the jet stream. there is another one lurking behind me. was in between there is something different. you get that sort of nick in the jet stream and into that a front will dominate the seenin into that a front will dominate the seen in northern and western parts through thursday. but look at this again, a mild run of south—westerlies ahead of that feature. so again for the time of year the temperatures are well above
10:31 pm
the seasonal norm. once we take what is left of that trailing front through the british isles, there comes that dome again of high pressure and so it is a rinse and repeat of where we
