7:19 pm
think so. i think tim davies was the place was a lot of fun and pleasant traces identify last week between tuesday and friday when the tweet was done and the decision was made to stop standout. they were trying to stop standout. they were trying to get to some sort of agreement, possibly the agreement to reach today. i think having them thinking they were right the guidelines were going to be reviewed. i'm glad they are doing what they're doing and thatis are doing what they're doing and that is the way forward. we will see where we are when the review is completed in a few weeks times. you worked within news and on the trust. how would you like to see the guidelines reviewed? t how would you like to see the guidelines reviewed?- how would you like to see the guidelines reviewed? i think there are two propositions. _ guidelines reviewed? i think there are two propositions. they - guidelines reviewed? i think there are two propositions. they are - guidelines reviewed? i think there j are two propositions. they are not easily resolved. 0n the one hand, you have a lot of people who think gary lineker is not a news person or presenter and he didn't say what he said about the governments policy on
7:20 pm
asylum when he bbc outlet. everyone in the audience understands gary lineker is speaking for himself. that's one view. the other view is that he is so big and is profile is derived from the bbc any is paid by the bbc, he has many followers on twitter and wouldn't get that without the bbc. even though he is not doing it for the bbc what he says on twitter would have some impact on how the bbc is viewed by his audiences and could potentially contaminate its impartiality. there are two views which are easily reconciled. they'll left a look at whether the guideline is fit for purpose or whether it should be abolished entirely for nonuse people like gary lineker so they can see outside the bbc what they want or if it can be adjusted. it is not an easy task or self—evident as to some people what they may think the right answer is. i think a bit of reflection and presentation will

restaurants, just two weeks ago when the islands were hit by snow storms. was a contrast. more coming up. don't go away. hello there. it's a pretty messy weather picture out there at the moment. no two days the same. if i show you the example of leeds throughout the week, you can see what i'm talking about. today, it's been mild, wet and windy, colder, though, over the next few days with the potential for some sleet showers off to higher ground before some milder air returns, but it might come with more rain as well. this frontal system, the dividing line today between the mild air down to the south, the cold air to the north. it's been windy in those cold northerly winds will continue to push their way steadily south. colder for all as we head into tuesday. so, there'll be outbreaks of showery rain easing a way to a wintry mix. further north, some ice could be an issue as well first thing on tuesday morning as temperatures dip down as low as minus five in some places. it's going to be a chilly start,
7:27 pm
generally, across the country in comparison to monday. outbreaks of light, drizzly rain clearing the southeast and then a fresh, stiff northwesterly wind will drive in showers down through the irish sea along the cheshire gap. some of those with the odd rumble of thunder, some sleet and snow to higher ground as well. a blustery wind making it feel quite cool out there. temperatures may well sit at around 4—9 degrees, but it's perhaps going to feel noticeably colder with the strength and the direction of the wind. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, a little bump of high pressure continues. clear skies overnight will allow those temperatures to really fall away quite sharply. a hard frost expected first thing on wednesday morning. widely, we'll see those temperatures below freezing, but there should be some sparkling sunshine to start the day on wednesday before we quickly see some cloud arriving from the west and by the middle part of the afternoon, some rain into northern ireland to wales and south west england. but ahead of it, in the brighter, crisper moments, those temperatures at around 4—7 celsius.
7:28 pm
now, we will, for a time, see some snow on the leading edge of that front as it bumps into that colder air, but it'll quickly turn back to rain with a south—westerly wind direction. so once again, we're expecting that milder air to return, pushing the blue tones right up into the far north. and once again, we could see those temperatures returning back into double digits. so for the next couple of days, yes, it's going to be colder with some snow and ice around, but then milderfrom thursday onwards. take care.

7:32 pm
centre of the losses and all of this intense fighting is bakhmut. russia has been trying to take it for months. russia could be closer to controlling the whole donetsk region. analysts say bakhmut itself has little strategic value and that to control it would mostly be symbolic because the kremlin needs a victory to sell back home. russia's fighting is being done by the wagner group. its leader had complained about a lack of support from the kremlin, now saying his soldiers have received over 20 trucks of ammunition from russia's ministry of defence, adding... the commander of ukraine's ground forces says that fighters from the

7:34 pm
take bakhmut for up to seven months now, and neither the russian ministry of defence nor wagner fighters have been able to take it. more of the same, but we see wagner is adamant that it is staying there. we also have analysts saying bakhmut would simply be a symbolic victory. help us understand why wagner is so intent on pursuing this small town. part of the reason why wagner is so focused on bakhmut is that their leader has promised block personally vladimir putin, and this comes after forces have failed. they took back kherson in the summer and in

at the end of the tunnel. and i've got sympathy for the doctors. i've got sympathy for a lot of people that go on strike. they're not affecting the people they should be. they're affecting, you know, the people that need surgery, treatments. in a winter of strikes, this is likely to be the biggest seen by the health service in england so far. it will last from 7am today to 7am on thursday. there are nearly 48,000 junior doctors working in the nhs who are members of the biggest doctors' union, the bma. they're calling for a pay rise of around 35%, which the union says is to make up for cuts in real pay since 2008. but nhs bosses are warning there will be widespread disruption for patients. the action is lasting longer, for three days, and it covers many more areas of the health service, so all hospitals, general practice and community services, too. but there's no doubt there will be significant disruption to outpatients and to procedures that unfortunately will need to be rescheduled. if you haven't heard they're going to be rescheduled, though, of course, do turn up as normal,

never has there been a more important time to invest in our own wildlife. the heads of britain's three most powerful conservation charities have joined forces, in an effort to protect and restore nature in the uk. between them, they have 8.5 million members. we've come together because while we have spectacular nature here in the uk it is in crisis, it's on the brink. only a quarter of all our curlew chicks survive their first year. we certainly value our nature here in the uk. three—quarters of us say we're worried about nature here in the uk, but it seems we have no idea how bad things have got. the uk is in the bottom 10% of countries globally for nature, according to the natural history museum, yet more than half of those questioned in a poll for this new campaign thought britain was doing at least as well as the rest of the world. so, what can be done? the charities want you to "go wild once a week." you could plant a wild flower window

7:57 pm
as —5 in some places. it's going to be a chilly start, generally, across the country in comparison to monday. outbreaks of light, drizzly rain clearing the southeast and then a fresh, stiff northwesterly wind will drive in showers down through the irish sea along the cheshire gap. some of those with the odd rumble of thunder, some sleet and snow to higher ground as well. to higher ground as well, a blustery wind making it feel quite cool out there. temperatures may well sit at around 4—9 degrees, but it's perhaps going to feel noticeably colder with the strength and the direction of the wind. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, a little bump of high pressure continues. clear skies overnight will allow those temperatures to really fall away quite sharply. a hard frost expected first thing on wednesday morning. widely, we'll see those temperatures below freezing, but there should be some sparkling sunshine to start the day on wednesday before we quickly see some cloud arriving from the west and by the middle part of the afternoon, some rain into northern ireland to wales and south west england. but ahead of it, in the brighter,
7:58 pm
crisper moments, those temperatures at around 4—7 celsius. now, we will, for a time, see some snow on the leading edge of that front as it bumps into that colder air, but it'll quickly turn back to rain with a south—westerly wind direction. so once again, we're expecting that milder air to return, pushing the blue tones right up into the far north, and once again, we could see those temperatures returning back into double digits. so, for the next couple of days, yes, it's going to be colder with some snow and ice around, but then milder from thursday onwards. take care.

hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. president biden pledges to do whatever is needed to shore up banks after a string of failures raises fears about financial stability. americans fears about financial stability. can have confidence the americans can have confidence that the banking system is a say. your deposits will be there when you need them. it comes as washington guaranteed all deposits at silicon valley bank and signature bank, which both collapsed last week. also on the programme... the uk prime minister says britain's committed to swift action to counter any threat from china as he attends a major defence summit in the us. gary lineker, the bbc's highest paid broadcaster, is back on air after his suspension triggered
8:01 pm
a wave of walk—outs. we begin in the united states, where president biden has said americans should rest assured that the us banking system remains safe, after the failure of the california based silicon valley bank. there have been dramatic falls in banking shares as regulators tried to contain the damage from the biggest us bank failure in 15 years. mr biden says his administration acted to ensure that svb customers would be able to get all their money. thanks to the actions by my administration, americans can be positive their deposits will be safe. small businesses who deposited their money will be safe in knowing they can pay their workers and pay their bills. hard—working employees can
8:02 pm
breathe easy as well. there were huge falls in the value of some us banking stocks, as markets began to assess president biden's response. the value of shares in one bank, western alliance, tumbled by 80%. another, first republic, was down 75%. markets across europe also saw sharp falls triggered by the turmoil. our north america business correspondent, michelle fleury, has the latest on the market fallout. i was just looking at the markets and it's astonishing to see the three major indexes pretty much flat. it's been a choppy day as you mentioned, first republic amongst the regional banks that are getting hammered despite the fact that the us government moved in to try and shore up and restore confidence to the market. i think there are a couple of things going on. you have to remember, this is not a bailout of the banks but of a bailouts of banking customers. when we talk about the stock market,
8:03 pm
it is investors in some of these banks who were looking and going, well, how many of these banks are out there that we invest in that we could potentially lose money on? even if the government steps into guarantee customers' accounts it won't guarantee we won't lose money. that's why you see this continue to run on banking stocks. in terms of customers, they can take heart even the actions of the government over the weekend that there deposits will be safe, although you are still seeing long lines outside some banks because that nervousness that has rippled through takes a bit of time to die down. that's what's happening right now. let's take a look at why silicon valley bank collapsed. until last friday it was the 16th largest bank in the us, worth more than 200 billion dollars. the bank was heavily invested in us government bonds, which lost
8:04 pm
significant value due to rising interest rates. many of the bank's customers started drawing on their deposits in the face of worsening economic conditions. svb didn't have enough cash on hand, and so it started selling some of its bonds at steep losses, spooking investors. it took just 48 hours between the time it disclosed that it had sold the assets and its collapse. heres's economics adviser mohamed el erian. what made the situation vulnerable is this bank, the silicon valley bank, had very concentrated deposits among a certain sector of society — tech entrepreneurs, startups. they, themselves had been under pressure. this is an isolated case, but it reflects a much bigger issue which is that we are going to have bumps along the way in adjusting to high interest rates, with the possibility of economic and financial accidents.
8:05 pm
earlier today, in a bid to stem contagion across the industry, the us government stepped in, guaranteeing deposits across the entire banking system, ensuring all account holders could retrieve any funds. president biden says taxpayers will not bear any losses from the move, which will be funded by fees regulators charge to banks. regulators also took over signature bank of new york, which was seen as the institution most vulnerable to a similar bank run after svb. mr biden also says the banks' leaders will be fired. our global trade correspondent, dharshini david, has more on the potential fallout. when we look at silicon valley bank their particular portfolio of investments, they clearly were not listening to that lesson, not putting all your eggs in one basket. they were too concentrated in a particular form of government bond. when you look at other banks, they have large holdings of similar things but there are sharper rules in place to have much more diversified portfolios and unless you have to sell those investments you don't
8:06 pm
tend to run into the same problems. silicon valley bank also had an arm here in the uk, this morning british multinational, hsbc, agreed to buy it forjust over one us dollar. it's a deal that involves no taxpayer money. the move will save thousands of british tech startups and investors from big losses and potential collapse. the bank of england said no other uk banks had been "materially affected" by svb's collapse. here's uk chancellorjeremy hunt. all those really important companies that had deposits with silicon valley bank uk can access their deposits and normal banking services as of this morning. it is a very important outcome. no taxpayer money has been used as a result of a lot of hard work. our business reporter katie silver explains what impact the bank's lananh nguyen, is the us finance editorfor the reuters news agency. the us government has stepped in to
8:07 pm
guarantee the deposits of customers in these two failed banks. what it is not doing is rescuing the bondholders and investors and the management of these firms, who will be wiped out. so, this is kind of scene as a semi—sort of government and private—sector solution that will be a special assessment on larger banks are to of contribute to a fund that will help to cover the losses on any deposits. tbs. a fund that will help to cover the losses on any deposits.- a fund that will help to cover the losses on any deposits. a kind of a semi-decision _ losses on any deposits. a kind of a semi-decision to _ losses on any deposits. a kind of a semi-decision to mark _ losses on any deposits. a kind of a semi-decision to mark this - losses on any deposits. a kind of a i semi-decision to mark this through, semi—decision to mark this through, but is it enough? because we have still got concerns in terms of getting a grip on the situation. yes, there doesn't seem to be quite a grip on the situation just now. we have seen huge declines in share prices of some of the banks are people more concerned about over the last week. those declines have continued this week in monday trading, and so there is concern in the banks that there may be on shaky
8:08 pm
ground are still on that shaky ground, despite this intervention by the government. so, i would say that the government. so, i would say that the policies that were rolled out yesterday as huge and strong statements to backstop the industry, and policymakers have continued today, including joe biden, to talk about how important this issue is. so, there is a strong government response here, but we will have to see in the days ahead whether or not it has been enough.— see in the days ahead whether or not it has been enough. when we have got president biden _ it has been enough. when we have got president biden seeing _ it has been enough. when we have got president biden seeing that _ president biden seeing that committee as referring to americans having confidence in the banking system. we see that people are still obviously concerned about the fallout of this. are they doing enough? we fallout of this. are they doing enou~h? ~ . . fallout of this. are they doing enou~h? ~ , ., ., enough? we will still have to say, because right _ enough? we will still have to say, because right now, _ enough? we will still have to say, because right now, we _ enough? we will still have to say, because right now, we have i because right now, we have correspondence on the ground at bank branches talking to customers about whether they are confident in their deposits, a pozzer they are afraid and will have to withdraw their money from the two banks in question. it is still early days. i think what people see, i was talking
8:09 pm
to a source earlier, he said that over the next few days we will see, as customers start to be able to access their deposits, and access their funds, access their deposits, and access theirfunds, that might access their deposits, and access their funds, that might help to stabilise the sentiment in the markets out there. however, share prices are definitely something that they will need to pay attention to closely, because those declines more for some of these banks are to have to do deals, get bought out by other firms, or even seek more government intervention and government help. let's go back to the us, where president biden is meeting his british and australian counterparts for defence talks designed specifically to address chinese military power in the indo—pacfic region. here are pictures of president biden setting off for those talks with mr sunak and the australian prime minister. the three men will be discussing the details of a pact known as 'aukus', which would see greater military co operation and australia supplied with nuclear submarines.
8:10 pm
the discussions come as the uk also announces it will increase defence spending by nearly £5 billion over the next two years. in san diego, the british prime minster rishi sunak has been discussing the significance of the talks with our polticial editor, chris mason. china is a country with fundamentally different values two hours, and represents a challenge to the world order, and that is why it is that we are alert to that, and take steps to protect our interests, and our values. that is what is a new integrated reviews there, make that crystal clear. i think the actions of the government over the past few months should demonstrate that we do take that challenge seriously. we have blocked investment in sensitive sectors, like semiconductors, for example, and it is important to keep the country safe, and that is what we continue to do.— continue to do. should tiktok be banned in all— continue to do. should tiktok be banned in all government - continue to do. should tiktok be| banned in all government funds? continue to do. should tiktok be i banned in all government funds? we don't banned in all government funds? 2

welcome back. our main story... presidentjoe biden says the us will do "whatever is needed" to shore up banks after silicon valley bank collapsed over the weekend. the bbc has lifted the suspension of its highest paid presenter, the bbc says its highest paid broadcaster, gary lineker, will be allowed back on air following his suspension for criticising the british government's migration policy. the decision to suspend the former england football captain triggered a boycott by other presenters
8:14 pm
and commentators, and caused major disruption to the bbc's sports coverage. it also raised questions about political pressure, and corporation's guidelines on impartiality. roz atkins has more. gary lineker will be back on the bbc this weekend. we heard from the bbc director general tim davie. we have got to a point where we have agreed to move forward and protect the bbc's impartiality. the bbc said there will be a review led by an independent expert on his existing social media guidance, with a particularfocus on how it applies to freelances outside of news and current affairs. gary lineker says he supports this view. fundamental questions remain about tim davie's leadership and his approach to impartiality and how it came to this. we also heard to from mr davie at the weekend. people want to express opinions. i understand that. i have one objective —
8:15 pm
to ensure the bbc is truly impartia. when he took over in 2020, he said impartiality was his number one priority. the issue is how he wants about that. getting the detail of this is no small undertaking. there are editorial guidelines on impartiality and social media guidelines, and the bbc royal charter and whatever individual contracts might say. there is a lot. let's start with the definition. the bbc guideline say impartiality is reflected in all sides of arguments and not favouring any site. they add, putting impartiality in practice is more difficult. the bbc is giving us a real—time demonstration of that with gary lineker as a test case. he is one of the bbc's top earners but is not a news journalists or politics presenter or bbc staff. he's a freelance sports centre, and in 2021! ask him about the bbc
8:16 pm
impartiality guidelines. they only apply to people in news and current affairs. i consider myself in a freelancer anyway. gary lineker also told me this. i've had conversations with the boss since i've been in but he's never called me and said you can't tweet about that. unless there was any doubt, he went on. he told me i could do that anyway. i'm my own person. gary lineker his position could not have been clear there but months earlier tim davies had updated the social media guidance. it read... there are there also others whenever those have an additional responsibility to the bbc because of their profile on the bbc. we expect these individuals to avoid taking sides on party political issues and to take at care when addressing public policy matters.
8:17 pm
as the bbc's david stilitoe notes, some describe it as a lineker clause. if it was a lineker clause is remains to be seen whether the man thinks it's a blessing. this brings us a september when tim davies gave mps this update. i think gary lineker is a brilliant presenter, and it is a working progress as to where he draws a line but we're working on where to draw the line. the bbc was saying it knew the matter wasn't settled. which brings us last week. gary lineker tweeted that the government's migration policy is beyond awful. it was immeasurably cruel and used language not dissimilar from germany in the 1930s. this is how a former bbc director saw that. a technical breach of the guideline. the bbc says there was a breach
8:18 pm
of the guidelines and gary lineker�*s tweet does take sides in a political controversy. this is far from the end of the matter. this is last week. do send by what you said? sorry? of course. gary lineker us has repeatedly said the impartiality guidelines don't respond to his students. the bbc's impartiality guidelines applyjust to current news and affairs staff, which is what gary lineker argues, but do they apply across the entire organisation. that's not at all clear and needs to be sorted out. the bbc responded by pulling gary lineker from match of the day, and said he must keep over from political issues. we have never said gary should be in an opinion—free zone which begs the question which opinions are allowed. three days later in its new
8:19 pm
statement, the bbc said the potential confusion caused by the gray areas of the bbc social media guidance that was introduced in 2020 is recognised. some of the confusion comes from long—term questions in 2019, before the new guidelines, lord sugar, star of the apprentice, endorsed borisjohnson ahead of the general election. he continued to front the apprentice on bbc one. there was a come claims in 2021 about a wildlife presenter who objected to a geronimo alpaca being euthanized. the bbc responded saying the constraints for a freelance presenter like chris is not the same as a correspondent. tim davie could have had the same response to gary lineker and
8:20 pm
the question is why. here is another former director general. the perception are out there is going to be that gary lineker, a much loved television presenter, was taken off air after government pressure on the issue. another went farther, said this isn'tjust a position someone has effectively been cancelled that the governments of the view didn't like. we are driven by a passion for impartiality. not less rights are pandering to a present to her party. these questions keep coming. this is richard sharp. use bbc chairman, and has donated thousands to the tories, and has appointment process is not subject to a review
8:21 pm
it emerged that before being appointed, he helped facilitate along for the then prime minister, borisjohnson. pvc board members do not have a say in bbc editorial matters, broader concerns remain, not least for the bbc's world affairs editor, john simpson, who tweeted, the current problems stem from the fact that it doesn't have sufficient defences against politicians who want to impose control over it, or there is a former head of bbc a tv news, who argues, by removing gary lineker from much of the day, it looks as if the bbc has given into one side of the bbc has given into one side of the culture war. the bbc denies this but even there, gary lineker�*s suspension result, many wider issues are not if you supply the rules of news and current affairs to everyone who works for the bbc, where does it end? , ~ ., ,, ., ., end? does it end with alan sugar on the apprentice. _ end? does it end with alan sugar on the apprentice, or— end? does it end with alan sugar on the apprentice, or even _ end? does it end with alan sugar on the apprentice, or even david - the apprentice, or even david attenborough? are they not allowed to say— attenborough? are they not allowed to say thanks. that attenborough? are they not allowed to say thanks-—

8:23 pm
were going to be reviewed. i'm glad they are doing what they're doing and that is the way forward. we will see where we are when the review is completed in a few weeks' times. you worked within news and on the trust. how would you like to see the guidelines reviewed? i think there are two propositions. they are not easily resolved. 0n the one hand, you have a lot of people who think gary lineker is not a news person or presenter and he didn't say what he said about the government's policy on asylum on a bbc outlet. everyone in the audience understands gary lineker is speaking for himself. that's one view. the other view is that he is so big and his profile is derived from the bbc any is paid by the bbc, he has many followers on twitter and wouldn't get that without the bbc.
8:24 pm
even though he is not speaking for the bbc what he says on twitter would have some impact on how the bbc is viewed by his audiences and could potentially contaminate its impartiality. there are two views which are not easily reconciled. they'll have to look at whether the guideline is fit for non—news people like gary lineker so they can see outside the bbc what they want or if it can be adjusted. it is not an easy task or self—evident as to some people what they may think the right answer is. i think a bit of reflection and consultation will help see a way through. i would push you for what you think the right answer is. you've sat at both sides of the table and it would be fascinated to hear what you think is an appropriate way for somebody who, as you say, has a platform due to the bbc. how they should behave in terms of their social media presence? your luring me into temptation and i will resist you. i think the best thing to do
8:25 pm
is to stand back and consult the audience and freelance presenters and stuff presenters and news and current affairs presenters. consult 0fcom, the regulator, and other parties. and the public won't think the same thing and stakeholders neither. at the end of that, see whether they want to relinquish the guideline and say, outside news and current affairs, everybody understands that he speak for themselves providing they are doing it on their own behalf and not on a bbc outlets or publication. and we've got some more extraordinary images for you here these are from a site in garforth near leeds, where skeletal remains of a high—status roman woman are among dozens that have been unearthed in what is thought to be the first anglo—saxon cemetery found in west yorkshire. the skeletons date back 1600 years
8:26 pm
and are believed to include both late roman and early saxon men, women and children. they've been described as a "once in a lifetime find". hello there. it's a pretty messy weather picture out there at the moment. no two days the same. if i show you the example of leeds throughout the week, you can see what i'm talking about. today, it's been mild, wet and windy, colder, though, over the next few days with the potential for some sleet showers off to higher ground before some milder air returns, but it might come with more rain as well. this frontal system, the dividing line today between the mild air down to the south, the cold air to the north. it's been windy in those cold northerly winds will continue to push their way steadily south. colder for all as we head into tuesday. so, there'll be outbreaks of showery rain easing a way to a wintry mix. further north, some ice could be an issue as well first thing on tuesday morning as temperatures

dip down as low as minus five in some places. it's going to be a chilly start, generally, across the country in comparison to monday. outbreaks of light, drizzly rain clearing the southeast and then a fresh, stiff northwesterly wind will drive in showers down through the irish sea along the cheshire gap. some of those with the odd rumble of thunder, some sleet and snow to higher ground as well. a blustery wind making it feel quite cool out there. temperatures may well sit at around 4—9 degrees, but it's perhaps going to feel noticeably colder with the strength and the direction of the wind. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, a little bump of high pressure continues. clear skies overnight will allow those temperatures to really fall away quite sharply. a hard frost expected first thing on wednesday morning. widely, we'll see those temperatures below freezing, but there should be some sparkling sunshine to start the day on wednesday before we quickly see some cloud arriving from the west and by the middle part of the afternoon, some rain into northern ireland to wales and south west england.
