this is bbc news broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm maryam moshiri and these are the latest headlines. the row over bbc impartiality continues after the sports presenter gary lineker criticised the uk government over its asylum bill. this has been a tough time for the bbc and we care about our audiences and we want to get the right outcome for this. we are working very hard to get that done and i would like to see gary lineker return on air. the bbc�*s football shows look set to be affected for a second day running, after presenters withdraw in support of gary lineker. leaders from the uk, us and australia will meet for talks on defence, including the plan for australia to get us nuclear submarines.

hello and welcome to the programme. the impact of bbc sports presenter gary lineker�*s removalfrom match of the day is continuing to affect the bbc�*s sports output today. the controversy over the broadcaster and his tweets criticising the uk government's policy on asylum seekers shows no sign of abating. he'd been told by the bbc to "step back" from presenting its flagship football show match of the day. on saturday, it led to widespread disruption of the corporation's football coverage, as fellow presenters and commentators pulled out in support of the former england international. steffan powell reports. here is the best of

the day's action... a match of the day like no other, not even a theme tune. just football and fan noise. i am going to walk my dog and do my shopping... would you mind letting me do it on my own? _ but this disagreement between gary lineker and bbc bosses is now much more than one programme. he went on to say that he could not comment on decisions about his future just yet. and one former director—general is calling for calm. we have lost a couple of sports programmes so far, which is obviously disappointing for match of the day fans who got a much truncated version of match of the day, but walking into the bbc this morning, for a place which is meant to be in complete crisis, is its usual rather boring, solid self. for others, though, this has now become a question of the corporation's leadership. if we are going to draw a line and restore particularly the perception of the independence of the bbc, i think we need to take some real strong measures

and i think the chairman of the bbc, richard sharp, should resign. the bbc chairman, richard sharp, is subject to an external review into his appointment and his role in the situation of an £800,000 loan to former prime minister boris johnson. he denies any involvement in the arrangement. there is also an internal review. he has yet to respond to the cause of his resignation. tim davie, the bbc�*s current director—general, has said he won't resign and has refuted claims that the bbc has buckled to pressure from conservative mps to suspend gary lineker. something the former striker overstepped the mark by criticising government immigration policy and the language around it. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, didn't want to get drawn into it. what needs to happen as a result of the discussion is notjust about gary lineker but the chairman

of the bbc following the independent investigation that is now happening is that we need to make sure we maintain that trust in the independence and the impartiality of the bbc. now attention is turning to other sports programmes, the women's super league coverage on bbc two went ahead, but without its usual pre—match presentation. match of the day 2 will go out tonight but with the reduced format. the director—general is expected in meetings tomorrow to try and sort the situation before the story ends up dominating the headlines next weekend like it has done this one. i'm joined now by fiona trott who's at old trafford for the manchester united southampton game. what are people saying where you are? it what are people saying where you are? , , ., ._ ., are? it is interesting, away from discussion _ are? it is interesting, away from discussion about _ are? it is interesting, away from discussion about the _ are? it is interesting, away from| discussion about the government asylum policy, away from discussion about the bbc impartiality rules, we have fans down here today for the southampton game, licence fee payers who are not able to look, to listen,

to watch sports coverage that they would normally be expecting at the weekend. we asked them about the effect of all of this and this is what they told us. it effect of all of this and this is what they told us.— effect of all of this and this is what they told us. it was a bit dull, what they told us. it was a bit dull. really. _ what they told us. it was a bit dull, really, wasn't _ what they told us. it was a bit dull, really, wasn't it, - what they told us. it was a bit | dull, really, wasn't it, because what they told us. it was a bit i dull, really, wasn't it, because it was dull, really, wasn't it, because it wasjust— dull, really, wasn't it, because it wasjust the _ dull, really, wasn't it, because it wasjust the highlights? but i am not a _ wasjust the highlights? but i am not a big — wasjust the highlights? but i am not a big fan of the pandas that are on there _ not a big fan of the pandas that are on there now, i think it needed a change _ on there now, i think it needed a change anyway. it on there now, i think it needed a change anyway-— on there now, i think it needed a change anyway. it was a very strange match of the _ change anyway. it was a very strange match of the day _ change anyway. it was a very strange match of the day experience, - change anyway. it was a very strange match of the day experience, let's i match of the day experience, let's put it _ match of the day experience, let's put it that — match of the day experience, let's put it that way _ match of the day experience, let's put it that way -- _ match of the day experience, let's put it that way. —— big _ match of the day experience, let's put it that way. —— big fan - match of the day experience, let's put it that way. —— big fan of- match of the day experience, let's put it that way. —— big fan of the l put it that way. —— big fan of the pundits — put it that way. -- big fan of the undits. ., , ., ., , ., pundits. the other stations will now be absolutely _ pundits. the other stations will now be absolutely chomping _ pundits. the other stations will now be absolutely chomping at - pundits. the other stations will now be absolutely chomping at the - pundits. the other stations will now be absolutely chomping at the bit . pundits. the other stations will now| be absolutely chomping at the bit to get him to go to them, so really it is down to the bbc. let's not forget also what gary lineker himself is said about the intention of that tweet in the very first place to give people a voice and certainly what we are hearing at old trafford is that that is not something people are talking about the today. it is going into different territory now which is why we have commentators today and this weekend at saying the

bbc has to be resolving this as soon as possible. bbc has to be resolving this as soon as possible-— bbc has to be resolving this as soon as ossible. , , ., ~ ., , .,, as possible. even speaking to people who are getting _ as possible. even speaking to people who are getting ready _ as possible. even speaking to people who are getting ready to _ as possible. even speaking to people who are getting ready to watch - as possible. even speaking to people who are getting ready to watch the l who are getting ready to watch the match, does this story matter to them? it match, does this story matter to them? ., , match, does this story matter to them? . , ., ,., match, does this story matter to them? . , . ,., . match, does this story matter to them? . , ., ., , them? it matters in that so far is that we are _ them? it matters in that so far is that we are talking _ them? it matters in that so far is that we are talking about - them? it matters in that so far is that we are talking about a - that we are talking about a corporation i guess which is at the heart of british society, you can say, sport gutted is at the heart of british society as well and arguably a presenter with one of the most popular presenters on british television and that is why people here today are here to watch the match, they brought their families here today and would normally be expecting to see more of that on the bbc later but certainly it is straying into different territory, isn't it? this is what they have come here for but certainly it is something they are also talking about on the terraces.— something they are also talking about on the terraces. fiona, thank ou ve about on the terraces. fiona, thank you very much _ about on the terraces. fiona, thank you very much in — about on the terraces. fiona, thank

you very much in the. _ —— indeed. just to remind you, the story obviously dominating the uk media and so far, match of the day and match of the day two and some other big sporting highlights which were due to be shown on the bbc have for now either been postponed or been changed, so we are waiting for more comments from the bbc and indeed of course we have not yet heard directly from gary lineker either. werejoined now by our heard directly from gary lineker either. were joined now by our media correspondent who is here with us and i wanted to bring you into this because we have been talking about what the bbc has been doing and its reaction, have we heard any more today from the bbc side?— today from the bbc side? nothing other than an _ today from the bbc side? nothing other than an announcement - today from the bbc side? nothing other than an announcement of i today from the bbc side? nothing | other than an announcement of all the various other bits of destruction to bbc output, the women's super league began today without its normal on—air presentation. there was some commentary and like match of the day

last night which sort of took place much shortened should we say, about 20 minutes long, no commentary, no presenters, no pundits and bizarrely the audience actually went up. i think there are a lot of curious people wondering quite what the sport would look like but very clearly this has escalated quickly for the bbc, something they were not expecting something they wanted to resolve as quickly as possible, because what was a political row about tweets and an issue about impartiality has now become a bad disruption to services. that gary lineker surrounded byjealous this morning as he went and took his dog for a walk did not say anything. —— surrounded by a journalists. ii'ioifif for a walk did not say anything. -- surrounded by a journalists. surrounded by a “ournalists. how do ou surrounded by a “ournalists. how do you esever — surrounded by a “ournalists. how do you role in — surrounded by a journalists. how do you resolve it? tim _ surrounded by a journalists. how do you resolve it? tim davie _ surrounded by a journalists. how do you resolve it? tim davie we - surrounded by a journalists. how do you resolve it? tim davie we have l you resolve it? tim davie we have been talking about, the director—general of the bbc and he was in washington and i believe he is on his way back now. this will be a big priority for them? his number one priority. _ a big priority for them? his number one priority. no _ a big priority for them? his number one priority, no question _ a big priority for them? his number one priority, no question about - one priority, no question about that. does 0unas programmes that start dropping off air and he said

his number one priority is to prove the bbc is impartial, you cannot get away from that. —— as soon as programmes start dropping. bbc wasn't forthright in its initial statement saying that gary lineker had broken the guidelines and pretty much had to stop doing political tweeting, the mood music from tim davie yesterday was a bit more emollient, who talk about being a listening mode and look at the guidelines. —— the bbc was forthright. see how the bbc and gary lineker and maybe the wiggle room is in the guidelines. irate lineker and maybe the wiggle room is in the guidelines.— in the guidelines. we are running out of time _ in the guidelines. we are running out of time but _ in the guidelines. we are running out of time but i _ in the guidelines. we are running out of time but i want _ in the guidelines. we are running out of time but i want to - in the guidelines. we are running out of time but i want to ask - in the guidelines. we are running out of time but i want to ask you | out of time but i want to ask you this because we have so many viewers around the world, why is this important?— around the world, why is this imortant? , . ., , , ., important? very clearly, it is one thin , important? very clearly, it is one thing. the _ important? very clearly, it is one thing. the bbc. _ important? very clearly, it is one thing, the bbc, and _ important? very clearly, it is one thing, the bbc, and this - important? very clearly, it is one thing, the bbc, and this is - important? very clearly, it is one thing, the bbc, and this is what i important? very clearly, it is one i thing, the bbc, and this is what tim davie said when he became head of the bbc, asjudged by the quality as

to whether people believe it is impartial. is it there as the honest broker? the thing about it is that there are lots of people with different views and ideas who come onto the bbc and express them, it is about free speech, but gary lineker occupies a slightly different role because every year they published the salaries, the bbc, he is there, number one, the highest paid person on that particular list and they change the guidelines at saying look, if you are that higher profile, probably you have to exercise extra caution. there is an additional responsibility. as he voice of the bbc orjust a freelancer who is allowed his own opinions? former dgs have been coming on are saying there are a few great areas there and probably that needs to be resolved. —— few grey areas. needs to be resolved. -- few grey areas. ., ~' needs to be resolved. -- few grey areas. ., ~ , ., uk prime minister rishi sunak is heading to the us to meet president biden

and the australian prime minister anthony albanese. it's expected the meetings in san diego will agree the details around providing australia with nuclear—powered submarines. the uk, us and australia set up a new defence pact 18 months ago known as aukus. one of the main concepts is for the three countries to work together to counter what they perceive as any threats from china. security studies at the royal united services institute. he explained what is actually aukus — and why it was set between these three countries. well, it is really actually a security relationship between the three main powers — us, australia and the united kingdom — ultimately to share technology and develop their industrial capacity, primarily around the nuclear submarines that you rightly highlighted, but actually also maybe extending into other key areas such as hypersonic weapons, cyber, artificial intelligence, and that will come in the future. so, explain, that's very well explained, now can you explain why is itjust these three countries

involved and not other countries? well, the core of the relationship is the sharing of nuclear technology, and this is really the crown jewels of any country, to actually keep control of this technology, and so the alliance has been triggered by the decision of australia to go for a nuclear attack submarine which requires a nuclear reactor, so the only real countries within the alliance framework that could share this are ultimately the united states, and the uk, and so this has been the core of the partnership, is how to agree now to share this nuclear technology from the uk, us, to australia. and of course this has caused problems, hasn't it, with the french? because there was a contract, wasn't there, or a deal at least, to buy diesel—powered submarines from the french which was subsequently cancelled in favour of this? exactly. and this was a sort of strategic rupture between australia and france which had some shock waves on its relationship also with the uk and to a lesser degree the us,

but this came from the australian assessment that actually diesel submarines were not going to be sufficient to counter what it sees as a growing threat, at sea, under waterfrom china. so australia decided it needed the ability to actually deploy long—range submarines that could operate almost for months, if not years, under water as long as the nuclear reactor could supply that and diesel submarines can't provide that capability. you are watching bbc news. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says this week's budget will focus on trying to help more people get back into work, including more help with childcare costs for those on universal credit and for people with disabilities. there are an estimated 10 million people under the age of 65 in the uk who are not in employment. here's our political

correspondent damian grammaticas. just 20 weeks ago, a new chancellor at a time of crisis. a central responsibility for any government is to do what's necessary for economic stability. remember them? liz truss and what became known as the kamikaze budget? jeremy hunt was brought in to clear up the mess. now he and rishi sunak have stabilised things, this week sees his first budget. mr hunt'sjob has been to repair and restore confidence, reputations and hopefully growth. to do that, he says he needs to get more people back into the workforce. we can make a big difference on childcare. for example, by paying people's help for childcare if you are on benefits upfront rather than in arrears. there is lots we can do, but it isn'tjust parents, by the way. it is also older people wondering whether they should retire early or not. it is people looking for work. we have 1.5 million of those. we could actually fill every single

vacancyjust from that group. 0n childcare, the help will be targeted at those receiving benefits. campaign groups say that would leave hundreds of thousands of other families still facing big bills. in the wake of brexit and the pandemic, there have been shortages in the labour force. mr hunt says he wants to tackle that without resorting to importing workers. labour says there are bigger problems, stagnation in growth, investment, and people's incomes. it wants to spend billions on new industries. it feels like we are in the changing room when other countries are in the global race and we are going to miss out, miss out on that investment in carbon capture and storage, floating offshore wind, green steel, green hydrogen. some country in the world is going to be the global leader in the jobs of the future. why not britain? we have so much going for us apart from a government that is prioritising these investments. the conservatives say labour's plans amount to new debts.

some tories, meanwhile, would like to see tax cuts. 0verall levels are going to be higher than they have in many years. they are uncomfortable with that but there's little sign that the chancellor is looking to cut taxes just now. damian grammaticas, bbc news. prime minister rishi sunak says he recognises the "anxiety" over the collapse of silicon valley bank but his government was working to find a solution that will secure customers' liquidity and cashflow needs. there are warnings that the collapse of the large american bank and its british arm could have a significant impact on tech start—up businesses. it's the biggest failure of a us bank since the 2008 financial crisis. the us treasury secretary janet yellen says she was working closely with banking regulators to respond to the collapse of the bank and protect depositors, but said a major bailout was not being considered. the uk chancellor, jeremy hunt, has been meeting the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey. he offered some reassurance. the governor of the bank of england has said that there is not

a systemic risk to the financial system, so people should be reassured by that. there is a serious risk to some of our most promising companies in technology and life sciences. the prime minister, i, and the governor of the bank of england were up late last night, we've been working through the weekend to come up with a solution. the israeli army has shot dead three palestinians in the occupied west bank. the army says a group of palestinians had opened fire on soldiers at a military post near nablus. there's been a surge in violence in the region in recent months. cyclone freddy is moving inland across mozambique after striking coastal areas with torrential rain and high winds. making landfall for the second time in a month, it's one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the southern hemisphere. communications and the electricity supply in the area have been cut, so the extent of the damage and number of casualties is not clear. the storm is now approaching

southern malawi. four astronauts have returned to earth on a spacex crew dragon capsule after spending five months on the international space station. the capsule splashed down near florida in the gulf of mexico. the crew members included the cosmonaut anna kikina, the first russian to fly on an american spacecraft in 20 years, and the nasa flight commander, nicole aunapu mann, the first native american woman to go into orbit. it's 0scars time again this evening with the film everything, everywhere, all at once leading the field with 11 nominations. there are also more first time nominees than ever before including a number of the mainly asian—american cast of the film as sophie long reports from los angeles. i can see where this story is going. it's stunned film critics and film lovers alike. some scenes went a little too far for some, but everything everywhere

all at 0nce was rewarded with a remarkable ii 0scar nominations. everyone who is nominated is a first time nominee. and so for so many different reasons, this is so unexpected and there's no precedent for it either. and so i think that's what makes it special. it does not look good. the film's success so far must be attributed, at least in part, to its biggest cheerleader, jamie lee curtis, herself a first time 0scar nominee in a career spanning many genres and decades. even she didn't get it at first. what did you think when you first saw the script? i didn't understand a word of it. i really didn't. i didn't understand . the depth of it at all. but i really understood deirdre. i knew her. i didn't know what the movie was i about until i was filming the movie. iwent, "oh, the movie is about love." - it's a movie, it's a big, crazy,| multiversal movie about love. but a hefty haul of nominations

as heart warming as they are doesn't mean heartbreak isn't ahead. it wasn't nearly a0 years ago, but the color purple went in with the same 11 nominations, and it came out with none. not one. all quiet on the western front had a slow start to this campaign, but with a sprint finish, it could just beat everything everywhere across the final finish line. and among industry insiders, there's more than a murmuring about top gun maverick, which has had its own cheerleader small in size, but huge in stature. tom cruise. it's just possible the academy might reward maverick for bringing people back to the box office. but baz luhrmann's elvis could also take some credit for that. some say it's the quiet ones you should watch. and the director of a triangle 0f sadness knows exactly how serious the situation is. did you know that if you don't win, if you're nominated, then your life expectancy goes down.

so if you win, you live longer than the other nominators that lose. so you're risking a little bit of your lifetime when you are nominated for an oscar. but as will smith demonstrated last year, it is possible to win in a whole triangle of sadness. it all happen here in hollywood tonight. sophie long, bbc news, at the oscars. i'm joined now by caroline frost, an entertainmentjournalist. so good to talk to you. are exciting times is always to look forward to. who are the frontrunners at this year, do you think? the who are the frontrunners at this year, do you think? the pressure is now really high. — year, do you think? the pressure is now really high, did _ year, do you think? the pressure is now really high, did not _ year, do you think? the pressure is now really high, did not know- year, do you think? the pressure is now really high, did not know that. now really high, did not know that about life expectancy, so i will speak with great care and say they are all brilliant films and deserved to win. 0bviously, are all brilliant films and deserved to win. obviously, as discussed in the package, it is about everything everywhere all at once. extraordinarily confounding, all sorts of norms. traditionally ask is it so it is all about dramas that

yearin it so it is all about dramas that year in year out but that seems to be changing weather titles like this. tells us that we are looking at global cinema, asian influences under then you get first time nominees like jamie lee curtis working up as well so it really seems to have everything for everyone. number one, 11 nods further everything everywhere all at once but we should not ignore all 0nce but we should not ignore all quiet 0n 0nce but we should not ignore all quiet on the western front which should it win will be only the fourth remake in history to go home with best picture. i guess the other big nods from the set. three actors up big nods from the set. three actors up for awards this evening so clearly they want to watch, banshees of inisherin. �* , ., ~ clearly they want to watch, banshees of inisherin— of inisherin. let's talk about oscars and _ of inisherin. let's talk about oscars and the _ of inisherin. let's talk about oscars and the changes i of inisherin. let's talk about oscars and the changes that of inisherin. let's talk about i oscars and the changes that have been made this year. last year we had a few issues, that famous slap, need i say more. tell me what has

changed this year compared to last. there is very much an awareness that the oscars can seem somewhat decadent. the gift rooms are always extraordinary and there has already been controversy about the people who really do not need anything extra in their lives are being given possibly a little bit of land which indigenous groups are saying is that really not very seemly and certainly goes against everything the people claim to be talking about in their films. equally, as you mentioned, slap, i have to say that was the reason more people tuned in a certainty for the replays last year to see what quite went down between will smith and chris roxanne had donein will smith and chris roxanne had done in previous years it so i feel they are being a little bit disingenuous. —— chris rock. the academy were found wanting in the treatment of will smith on the night so i think even though they may have won the headlines, they cannot have headlines that might tackle controversy this year. jimmy kimmel

days, rising temperatures coupled with heavy rain and a rapid thaw, means there could be a risk of flooding in one of two areas. the other weather concern over the next few days will be just how much wind returns through tonight and into tomorrow. strong winds are tied in with this area of low pressure that's creeping towards us, but it's helping to push in that much milder air we'll all see. so even in scotland, where we saw temperatures still hovering around freezing through much of this morning, it will be milder for the afternoon, but with it outbreaks of rain, and rain rather than snow developing across parts of the mainland but brighter to the north of that. rain at times in northern ireland, maybe also sliding into parts of cumbria and channel islands, south west england and wales will turn a good deal wetter. some heavy rain to come later this afternoon. central eastern areas may stay dry and bright with some sunny spells. note the temperatures though, much milder than recent days, double figures for much of england and wales in particular. now through tonight, they're not going to drop much. rain at times for all, even a bit of snow across the high ground of scotland as northerly winds try to fight the way back. colder air is limited here because glasgow southwards temperatures significantly above where they should be for a march morning. so a mild starts to

monday, but a windy one. an area of low pressure is pushing its way eastwards to the south of it and to the north of it. we will have some particularly strong wind, widespread gales, in fact, developing for many through the day. snow across northern scotland as northerly wind starts to dig its way in, snow even to low levels later. but from central scotland, northern ireland southwards rain at times of heavy and thundery showers, best the brightness east anglia and the southeast. but around southern coastal counties, winds gusting over 60 miles an hour and to north of scotland, 60 miles an hour too. but different directions, different feel to things — barely above freezing across the north of scotland through monday afternoon, up to 13, again towards the south and the east. the colder air wins out through monday night into tuesday. 0ur weather front pushes its way southwards and eastwards through the night, bringing a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. there could be a covering of snow for some to wake up to on tuesday morning, but what is more crucial opens the door back to north westerly winds. so after cloud and rain and sleet clears from the southeast in the morning, it's sunshine and wintry showers, a mixture of rain, hail, sleet and snow across the country. and it is going to feel particularly

cold as well through the afternoon. temperatures dropping widely and with the wind with significant wind chill expected, feeling subzero in scotland.

this is bbc news. i'm maryam moshiri, and these are the headlines. talks continue to try to resolve the dispute

between the bbc and the football presenter gary lineker — in a row over impartiality after the sports presenter criticised the government over its asylum bill. but the bbc�*s football shows continue to be affected for a second day running — after presenters withdraw in support of gary lineker. there's been be a reduced coverage of the women's super league and the same will apply to match of the day 2. british prime minister rishi sunak says he recognises the "anxiety" over the collapse of silicon valley bank and insists his government is working to find a solution to secure customers' liquidity and cashflow needs. leaders from the uk, us and australia will meet for talks on defence — including the plan for australia to get us nuclear subs. you're watching bbc news. it's often said that music
