11:10 pm
and you talked to a young man who became addicted to it. and i think this is perhaps a concern that so many parents have, accessing that pornography potentially is going to affect relationships in the real world. and that's what you found. the first thing that i learned is i think we think maybe as parents that we have the conversation about pornography when they go to secondary school at 11 or 12, and that still feels young. but you're like, i'm going to be on the front foot, you know, big school, big boys like big phones. they're looking for it at seven, eight, nine. your child's view of pornography is going to be absolutely predicated by the naughtiest kid in school. he's going to go, "look at this, it's disgusting." or, "look at this, this is weird." and i think also that because we don't talk about pornography, and particularly children watching pornography because it's such a distasteful idea, we're not telling kids what the deal is with pornography. you don'tjust look at it and laugh at it. you know, you don'tjust look at it and be horrified by it or be aroused by it.
11:11 pm
it's looking into you. like it gets in your head. that's going to become your sexual imagination. these are your sexual fantasies, like, that's going to hardwire you for the rest of your life. of course, the sex that you're going to imagine is the sex that you know about. and so when you click on that, in the same way that the first time you ever light up a cigarette at a party as a teenager, there's always someone will go, "you'll get addicted, it'll give you cancer." no—one�*s saying that the first time you click on pornography, but it's the same long term risk. there are some women who feel, betrayed is perhaps too strong a word, that you've written this book. because they're going, "hey, you're a high profile feminist and women's problems are not sorted, and now you're putting your attention to boys." there are some others who say you've generalized a bit in the book about boys, and there are some others who say, you know, some of the stuff might be stereotypical. it might be sexist. i see this absolutely as an extension of my feminism, because the thing, my call to arms to doing this was seeing that my daughters were being told by boys at school that kind of feminism has gone too far. it's easier to be
11:12 pm
a girl than a boy now. and i was like, "whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a minute. i can show you some sexual assault statistics that tell you it's still definitely harder to be a woman than a man." but the thing is that half of women's problems are generally men. angry men, disturbed men, men who don't know how to treat them. men, you know, whojust have got the wrong ideas about women. men who're confused, men who have not been educated yet. unhappy men. if you fix the men, you fix the women. we have a women and equalities minister. do we need a ministerfor men? well, if it's about equalities, yeah, you've got to have both. if you're a 15—year—old boy who's grown up in the last 15 years, it does seem unfair. and if you had an equalities minister, then maybe they'd just stop calling us feminazis. i don't want to be called a nazi. i couldn't run a train system on time. we're not nazis, we'rejust tired mums trying to make things a bit better. and that book is published on thursday. the daily telegraph has

decision was made a while ago and everything that we have heard from japan and iaea has been towards pushing this forward. this i japan and iaea has been towards pushing this forward. as i mentioned china and south _ pushing this forward. as i mentioned china and south korea _ pushing this forward. as i mentioned china and south korea have - pushing this forward. as i mentioned china and south korea have been - china and south korea have been vocally against the plan but according to the japanese government, their nuclear power plants also release water with higher levels of tritium, is that true and if so why should fukushima be treated differently?— be treated differently? there is no auestion be treated differently? there is no question that _ be treated differently? there is no question that bad _ be treated differently? there is no question that bad behaviour- be treated differently? there is no question that bad behaviour on - be treated differently? there is no | question that bad behaviour on the behalf of one group does notjustify the behaviour of another group. that has behalf of one group does notjustify the behaviour of another group. that has been a source of frustration for myself and other scientists on the panel. that the idea that other nuclear power plants release tritium into the ocean is not an excuse, this is a bit different than a regular nuclear power plant operation. there are three factors that are in now to afghanistan, where the taliban have ordered hair and beauty salons to close within a month. the ruling is yet another blow for women's freedoms, which have been dramatically limited since the taliban returned to power two years ago. since then, girls have been banned from attending secondary schools, women have been prohibited from going to parks, travelling without a male campanion — and attending university. our south asia correspondent yogita limaye has more. late last year, i remember going to a salon in kabul with two of our female colleagues. it wasn't for a news report. we just wanted to be in a casual
11:15 pm
space with afghan women where we could interact with them away from the scrutiny of the taliban. i remember we chatted, we laughed, we had a cup of tea. we got manicures done. we took a photo of of what our nails looked like. afterwards, we saw a bride getting ready for her wedding. for that one hour, ifelt like i could be anywhere in the world away from the reality that awaited these women when they stepped outside of the salon into a world where girls are barred from secondary schools. in most provinces where women can't attend university, where women can't work for domestic or international ngos, they are barred from parks, swimming pools, gyms, public baths, where if they have to travel long distances, they have to be escorted by a male relative where they're expected to wear clothing with only their eyes visible. and for this latest restriction, the taliban aren't even giving a reason, especially in women are asking this
11:16 pm
was a female—only space. there's no interaction between men and women in a salon. why was it banned? the taliban said they're not giving the reason now they will give it at a suitable time. the women i've spoken to are devastated. one said she was shocked. one said she felt like she was trapped in a cage, which kept shrinking every minute. you know, usually what i've seen is when a couple of months go by, after one restriction is announced, women start beginning to hope that the taliban will ease at some stage. that's the only way they can survive and go from day to day. and then you have another restriction being announced, which is a blow to those hopes. they've talked about feeling like they've been plunged into darkness. they believe that the taliban's eventual intentions are to confine women into their homes. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

a man who killed his neighbour and her two daughters by setting their flat on fire has been found guilty of murder. jamie barrow had admitted to their manslaughter, but denied three counts of murder. the trial heard, he had poured petrol through the flat�*s letterbox, and set it alight. jurors heard he was unhappy about bags of rubbish being left by the family nearby. thames water has been fined just over 3 million pounds, after pleading guilty to four charges, relating to polluting rivers. the court heard, how millions of litres of undiluted sewage caused rivers to turn "black" and kill more than 1,000 fish near gatwick airport in 2017. there've been calls to nationalise the firm after its boss quit last week. plans are expected to be announced on wednesday — that will eventually see the closure of most railway ticket offices in england. the industry says sales at kiosks have dropped from 85% in 1995 to an average of 12% today. passenger are buying more tickets

online or at machines. you're live with bbc news. in the uk — the metropolitan police are reopening an investigation into breaches of covid regulations at a christmas party at conservative party headquarters. that's after a video emerged of a gathering, where aides were invited to "jingle and mingle". the video was published by the sunday mirror. it's also examining claims that lockdown rules may have been breached at a separate event in parliament six days earlier. but police say they will not investigate alleged gatherings at the prime minister's country home, chequers, during the premiership of borisjohnson. our politcal editor chris mason reports. are you filming this? the answer, yes, and are the police are now looking again at this bash at conservative party headquarters? yes, they are.
11:19 pm
at the time, london's throw restrictions and indoor at the time, london's covid restrictions and indoor socialising. it's notjust the video detective can consider, this wasn't an impromptu get—together. the save the date invite called it a "jingle and mingle". how is that acceptable? it isn't. at the party was held on behalf shaun bailey, tory candidate for mayor of london. he was awarded a seat in the house of lords by borisjohnson last month. the second police investigation involves an alleged birthday get—together here in parliament, also in december 2020. one mp has ready admitted being there and apologised. it's also alleged this man, conservative mp sir bernard jenkin was there. he was on the committee that concluded borisjohnson lied to parliament.
11:20 pm
why did you not take proper advice. this is complete nonsense. mrjohnson has accused him of hypocrisy. sir bernard jenkin told the bbc tonight it is not appropriate to comment on a continuing investigation. this second police inquiry into what happened in parliament appears particularly loaded with the potential for fresh political jeopardy. who was there and where might it leave their reputation? but borisjohnson, so often the centre of these partygate rows, isn't facing new investigations into potential breaches of the covid rules. either here at chequers, the prime minister's country in buckinghamshire, or downing street. all this is awkward once again for the current resident here, rishi sunak. whenever he tries to move on, the ghosts of the conservatives' recent past return. chris mason, bbc news.

monday was the world's hottest day on record. that's according to a us government agency. it comes after the united nations said the naturally occuring el nino weather event was under way and countries should start preparing for its effects. our reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. us researchers say for the first time the average global temperature topped i7 celsius. indeed it actually hit topped 17 celsius. indeed it actually hit 17.01 degrees. that has broken a record that has stood since august 2016 of 16.9 celsius. the record figure has been affected by recent heat waves in china, north africa and the southern us. these are pictures from phoenix, arizona were temperatures hit over 46 celsius on monday. researchers have blamed climate change for the new

at stjiles�* cathedral. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon reports. celebrating 75 years of the nhs at a hospital in edinburgh, part of the monarch's annual week of scottish engagements, which this time will also mark the king's coronation in the nation where his reign began. so, it's a really good opportunity to sort of confirm his personal connection with scotland, to show that scotland really is an important part of the union. it's also, i think, quite a nice way of closing the loop because of course the queen died in scotland and it's quite a nice way to come back and to have a happier occasion. vintage news: the procession that i journeys along princess street... | the king is building connections beyond royal deeside. in this former mining community, he stepped in to save the local town hall and pool. people were moving away,
11:24 pm
but now what you're finding is people are actually moving here and a lot of that is to do with what the king has done. basically, it's put life back into a small village. it's been great. but polling suggests less enthusiasm for the monarchy in scotland than elsewhere in the united kingdom. i think the monarchy is long past its sell by date and i think we're having a really interesting conversation in scotland about the world that we re—imagine. whether you support independence or not, there is something exciting about going, "what is the world that we want to build?" the service to be held here at st giles is not a second coronation. it is not constitutionally significant and it will differ in tone from the event in london in may. it will feel smaller, more low key. rehearsals showing, though, that pageantry will still have a role in this distinctly scottish celebration of the king's reign. lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh.

now — it wouldn't be independence day in the us without the traditional hot dog eating contest in new york. after a delayed start due to the bad weather, 39—year—old joey chestnut, nicknamed jaws, managed to defend his title, devouring 62 hot dogs and buns injust 10 minutes. he was far ahead of his nearest rival who could only finish 49. miki sudo won the women's competition for the ninth time by eating 39 and a half hot dogs. both of them look very fit, don't they you would really want to know what exercises that they do. that's it for this programme. i will be back with business news later but thanks for watching the programme.
11:26 pm
hello there. conditions improve for much of the country for wednesday. we're in between weather systems. so again, it's going to be one of sunshine and showers, but nowhere near as wet as what we had across the south of the country on tuesday. now, that's tuesday's area of low pressure clearing off into the near continent. this area of low pressure will enhance showers across scotland, northern ireland. but we're generally in between weather systems with lighter winds as well. now, it could still start wet and windy across the far east of east anglia first thing, but then that'll clear away. then it's a day of sunshine and showers. you could catch a shower pretty much anywhere, but i think the majority of them will be across scotland and northern ireland because the winds will be lighter. we should see more sunshine around, particularly across the south. we could be up to 20 or 21 celsius, otherwise it's the mid to high teens again in the north. so there is a threat of a passing shower or two for wimbledon. but wednesday's weather looks a lot better. we should get to see some play in the outside courts.
11:27 pm
so as we move through wednesday nights, most of those showers fade away and then it's drier and clearer for many of us. but breeze and clouds starts to pick up out west ahead of this area of low pressure temperature wise, ranging from 7 to 12 celsius. this is the pressure chart for thursday. we've got high pressure building over the near concert will keep things fine and settled for england and wales. this area of low pressure will park itselfjust to the west of ireland. that's going to bring cloud strong winds and outbreaks of some heavy rain across northern ireland pushing up in towards western scotland. but the rest of the country should stay largely dry and good spells of sunshine start to pick up a southerly breeze. so temperatures will be picking up 22 or 23 celsius on friday. we have low pressure to the north and the west of the country, higher pressure to the south and the east. and we're drawing up some warm and humid air at this point from the south. so much of england and wales will have a dry, sunny and a very warm day. chances of showers or thunderstorms, particularly for western scotland so much of england and wales will have a dry, sunny and a very warm day. chances of showers or thunderstorms, particularly for western scotland and northern ireland, where it will also be windier.
11:28 pm
so it could be the mid to high 20s for england and wales on friday. noticeably warmer with increased humidity. but for the weekend low pressure sits out to the west of the uk and influences the weather pretty much across the whole country. so although it'll stay quite warm across the south on saturday as an increasing threat of showers and thunderstorms as we move through the weekend, temperatures dropping a little bit again on sunday.
