the new culture secretary matt hancock., with me, mandy baker. if you want to catch up with all the news from westminster on the go, don't forget our sister programme, today in parliament, is available as a download via the bbc radio 4 website. now, if you're concerned that i haven't yet said the word brexit in this programme, fear not — here it comes. the government's been accused of using brexit legislation as a power grab. that charge from opposition parties came as mps held their first debate on the government's trade bill, which will allow ministers to install a new system for the day after brexit next year. the international trade secretary defended the powers in the bill. we want to protect the access to global markets that are so vital to thousands of british businesses. we want to abide by our obligations to those economies that have already negotiated free trade agreements and other trade agreements with the european union. this bill grants us the powers necessary to achieve these aims. but labour accused the mini

matt hancock joins us matt hancockjoins us from davos. thanks for your time.hnology, the internet, and in the main it is a great force for good but we need to make sure we tackle some of the harms it brings and we can't do that alone as government. companies need to step up government. companies need to step up to the plate. they have been making some progress but there is clearly more to do to tackle some of the harms that we see online, the terrorist material that exists there and also making sure children are protected and getting the balance right between the great freedom the internet brings but also making sure we mitigate harms to others is a very important project and the prime minister will be setting out more details on that. mr hancock, why do people feel such frustration and why are we asking these companies, if you like pleading with them to do something voluntarily, why are we doing that, why don't we take more draconian action and force them?m some areas we are legislating as we speak. there is legislation on data protection in front of the hous

that was a rather truncated matt hancock. i think we havejustine greening.y disappointed to see the soundings off. they need to stop and people need to get behind her for that she is doing an important job for our country we need to support her in that almost impossible task she negotiating brexit. so, some support from justine greening. it is notjust brexit that is causing uncertainty in turmoilfor some it is brexit that is causing uncertainty in turmoil for some it is a sense that mrs may is not doing much. beyond brexit. there is a feeling that government is drifting. there isa that government is drifting. there is a lack of radicalism and the lack of decisive leadership. ahead of that, the critics mrs may are not exactly overflowing with boldness and decisive action themselves. today they have been sitting on their hands. no one so far has dared to break ranks and actually move to ta ke to break ranks and actually move to take on the prime minister. as long as that continues, mrs may stays in downing street. a senior government minister is in the spotlig

we also know matt hancock is the new culture secretary.

let's speak to matt hancock, the secretary for digital, culture, media and sport.ming alerts. can that be done? yes, and it must. we changed the law, as you said at the top, we changed the law in april to bring ina top, we changed the law in april to bring in a new offence of 1300 people, crimes, have been recorded under the offence and that is progress, but still there is clearly more to do. these are harrowing stories. and your heart goes out to anybody affected by them. as the father of three young children, i find it really quite emotional listening to that package. and we are consulting at the moment and internet safety strategy which is all about making the uk the safest place in the world to go online. and so we place in the world to go online. and so we will consider absolutely what the nspcc has said, i have seen the proposals, we are thinking about them carefully. but also, the social media companies have got a responsibility here. increasingly they know they have a responsibility. and they can use the technology to try to spot some of these things happen

matt hancock talking in davos where theresa may is on her way, she is going to give a speech and alsof the month. in part because of that twitter spat. you may remember when donald trump tweeted theresa may directly saying they need to be focused on radical islam and mrs may criticising donald trump for his support of far right groups. but it is more than that, you sense we have beenjumped is more than that, you sense we have been jumped in the is more than that, you sense we have beenjumped in the queue is more than that, you sense we have been jumped in the queue by the likes of president macron and others and mrs may has quite a lot of catching up to do today to try and heal the apparent rift with donald trump, made all the more important quite obviously because of brexit and the fact we really, really do need those new trade deals with countries outside the eu command front of the list of course has to be the united states. thank you very much. coming up. britain‘s kyle edmund is on court, as he attempts to reach his first grand slam final against marin cilic at the australian ope

ultimately it will be up to matt hancock, the new secretary of state, at media and digital, whateverr ownership to disney. the issue then is a really interesting one. does disney have the same commitment to sky and sky news that the murdochs have? the murdoch's' ambitions are being thwarted by concerns over plurality, but then if disney takes it over than we do have that issue, because it does provide a really important counterweight to the bbc. that is something he would be focusing on very sharply? we have this turnaround, lots of murdoch's critics are jumping up and down and saying that a regulator has finally said he is too powerful, we might actually say, thank goodness rupert murdoch funded sky news, which loses tens of millions every year, and has done for the best part of 30 years. i think some people might have take that for granted, and will not take for granted when disney owned fox, as they might do this summer. a powerful earthquake in the gulf of alaska this morning, which struck 175 miles south—east of the town of kodiak, prompted warnings of a possible tsunami down th

the newly appointed culture secretary, matt hancock, has said the bbc must act to address the issue ofshe was being paid less than men in equivalent roles. the equality and human rights commission has said it will write to the bbc for the facts of ms gracie's case. mr hancock said the issue must be resolved. much more action is needed, especially when bbc foreign editors can learn more than her majesty ‘s ambassadors in the same jurisdiction. in this specific case of carrie gracie, i welcome the decision to look into the issue she has raised. it is the regulatory body responsible and it is for them, not the government to investigate this matter and take further action if necessary. the director—general has committed to sorting this issue out by 2020 and we will hold him to that. the new culture secretary there. a 16—year—old boy has been arrested on suspicion of murder, and two others are being sought by police, after a shop worker was attacked in an argument about cigarette papers. the three teenage boys were refused cigarette papers when they couldn't prove their age at a shop in mil

hancock it was matt that said to be favoring this portion of it.m ladbrokes rolling hill are coming up and stressing that this is overview. this is speculation and wait until march or april to have the final decisions come out. what's really interesting as we have a chart going back since october and this is where the decisions were coming up. over the past two to three months, these companies have done fairly well. you can see that big drop here at the end. themsts are seeing from that any sort of weakness is a buying opportunity because it's sort of speculation at this point. the companies want a chance to respond to the government to revie review. mark: both were under pressure from online competition. taylor: the online competition is a key factor here. if you come into my terminal, you have shown that 88 it holdings and some of those are more the online competitors. 888 holdings had outperformed a little bit, especially when he sort of taken the drop today. then we also have the chart showing the revenue that comes from the different segments
