and this moment makes you feel like we were wrong. inevitably, there will be headlines in the coming days and weeks, talking about what this means for the me too movement. we have seen this happen overnight again. a court case that happens, it cosby has been released and the me too movement is over, and another court case that says so—and—so has one and the me too movement is back. so, i want to be clear that this moment and decision means we have a movement. it means we have a movement. it means we have a movement. ten years ago we could get —— could not get a man like harvey weinstein into a courtroom, and you need to be clear about that. a man
5:31 pm
as powerful and as far—reaching as harvey weinstein, is actuallyjust described, you could not get him into a courtroom, and we need to acknowledge that. we also need to understand the legal system has never served survivors. —— in this country. cautious solutions once a bus and we need to understand that. rape and sexual assault have the lowest arrest and conviction rates for a reason. we are clear that moments like this — why the movements are necessary, and we have a movement. this is why the work has to keep happening and why we keep going. almost seven years ago, because these brave women, in this case, broke their silence, because these brave women, in this case, broke theirsilence, millions and millions and millions of others found the strength to come forward and do the same. that would always be the victory. this doesn't change
5:32 pm
that. and the people who abuse their power and privilege to violate and harm others would always be the villains. this doesn't change that. we have spent decades building a survivor — justice movement. whether for 2017 and before me too went viral. we've spent decades building this movement. seven years ago, we got big momentum when the hashtag went viral. there have always been ups and downs and changes and there have always been moments where we have always been moments where we have had the anita hill moment. we write the wave when we have big moments and when we have no moments, we get no, and we get dirty, and we do what we have to do. we get in the trances and we do all work and we
5:33 pm
will continue to do that the outcome of this case does not change that. we also stand with resolve and resilience. we would always stand with resolve and resilience. i want to reiterate over and over again because i am preparing myself for the onslaught of what does this mean for the me too question?. i know those lessons will come regardless, so i want you to hear this. this is not a blow to the movement. it is a clarion call, and we are prepared to answer that call. thank you. that was tarana _ answer that call. thank you. that was tarana burke, _ answer that call. thank you. that was tarana burke, founder of the me too movement given reaction to the news today that harvey weinstein�*s

rape conviction from 2020 has been overturned by new york's top court. she was saying how devastated she is for the survivors who were connected to that case, and also the others that thought that case meant there would be change, but she did say that it shows white moments like this show why a movement like theirs is necessary. and before tarana burke, we heard from ashleyjudd, the actress as well. will go to a preference —— press conference being held by the scottish green party. this is after power—sharing with the s&p has broken. we have seen from westminster as well. the scottish greens are the progressive voice of the aggressive movement in scott mann and we will continue to be. i didn't hear the first part of the question. the

5:40 pm
are set to remain in place despite campaigners asking for them to be scrapped following the suicide of a primary school headteacher. ruth perry died after her school in reading was downgraded from �*outstanding' to �*inadequate'. her sister said she was disappointed with the decision. let's speak to sir michael wilshaw who was the chief inspector of schools in england in his role as head of 0fsted from 2012 until 2016. what do you make of the government and not spend saying it will keep these one—word judgements? i disappointed these one—wordjudgements? i disappointed they have made that decision. the government should really listen to the findings of the coroner and what the select committee has said, and most importantly listen to head teachers, most of whom that i speak to —— certainly the statistics show two thirds of teachers feel that change is absolutely necessary. notjust because of the tragic death but also because of the tragic death but also because they believe the judgements that are being made are erroneous,

5:43 pm
almost impossible job of collecting and collating different sorts of judgment. for example, i been across the country in the last three years and looked at a number of 0fsted reports and you see things like the curriculum is fine, but the results and the progress of children is poon and the progress of children is poor. the leadership is good, but the governance is weak. there are lots of those judgements being the governance is weak. there are lots of thosejudgements being made, and to try and get them altogether and to try and get them altogether and put them into one final judgment, i think is a mistaken, and lisa 0rel sorts of competitions. so what instead? so what instead? 50 what instead? so what instead? 50

5:45 pm
what's the way ahead for britain's railway? today, labour outlined what it would do, arguing its plans would fix a broken model. 0ur railways have become a symbol of national decline. of a country that no longer works and a government with no plan to fix it. cancellations are at record highs. fares have risen almost twice as fast as wages since 2010 and strikes are costing us £25 million a day. when contracts held by private train companies expire, they would be brought into a new public body, great british railways, which would oversee both infrastructure and train services. but labour would not nationalise freight or rolling stock companies and private operators like lumo and hull trains, which run independently without government subsidy, could continue. other measures include automatic delay repay, digital season tickets and a best price guarantee making fares more transparent, although not necessarily cheaper. labour claims its new model would mean cost savings for the taxpayer.
5:46 pm
the transport secretary disagrees. they've got no idea how to pay for it. there are going to be increased costs. if you nationalise all those companies, you are going to have to hire civil servants to manage it. they are setting up another quango. the lib dems want to freeze fares but haven't committed to nationalisation. the snp said it would work with labour. scotland and wales already have nationalised passenger rail services and several large england—based operators are publicly run after being brought into the government's operator of last resort. also, the government has a large degree of control over most private train companies because of the type of contract they are currently on. a group which speaks for private train companies say a structure used like the one by transport for london would be better. that alternative model gives you the best of both worlds, so greater public control through a governing body in the public sector like great british railways, but then harnessing that commercial
5:47 pm
expertise of the private sector train company to deliver better outcomes for the passenger. even if it does gain power, labour admits it would take time for passengers to see change. katy austin, bbc news. sir keir starmer has been speaking to our political editor chris mason about labours vision. i want all railways to work properly with a focus on passengers. at the moment, anybody using the railways say they are pretty dysfunctional, record numbers of delays and cancellations. your prices on fears that do not match the quality of service, then you have the government stepping in with huge subsidies. the privatisation has not worked, it has deteriorated under this government. 0urjob if elected
5:48 pm
into government is to pick it up and fix it, and that would require us as the ranchers and, to bring the franchises into public ownership, great british railways which would be a public entity, and publicly owned, and will give comprehensive strategic approach. what i want from thatis strategic approach. what i want from that is passenger focus, strategic approach. what i want from that is passengerfocus, affordable fares, safety and reliability, so that people can use the railways with confidence again. with me is sir philip rutnam, who for five years served as the most senior civil servant in the department for transport in his role as permanent secretary. thank you for coming in. he did not say he would make chicken —— tickets cheaper, he was pushing that but didn't say. in cheaper, he was pushing that but didn't sa . , . cheaper, he was pushing that but didn't sa . , , , didn't say. in truth, why this is that major _ didn't say. in truth, why this is that major political— didn't say. in truth, why this is that major political debate - didn't say. in truth, why this is i that major political debate about the structure of the industry which
5:49 pm
is important, there are there issues which are not being discussed which are important to the future of the industry and quality of service to passengers. the level of peers is one of them, which deeply affects passenger pockets, but also the level of investment. if you look at the rail industry, the single biggest driver of the quality of service over time is the level of investment and the effectiveness in which renewals and maintenance and the other things that need to happen to railways is done.— to railways is done. interesting to hear from the _ to railways is done. interesting to hear from the camping _ to railways is done. interesting to hear from the camping for - to railways is done. interesting to hear from the camping for better| hear from the camping for better transport seen real nationalisation is not in the better interest for passengers because it would be incentivised the operators to invest and make major improvements. do you agree with that?— agree with that? looking at real industries around _ agree with that? looking at real industries around the _ agree with that? looking at real industries around the world, - agree with that? looking at real i industries around the world, there are lots of successful ways to stop plenty examples on the continent of the kind the labour party is proposing today, essentially with services being run by the public sector as well as the planning and
5:50 pm
infrastructure run by the public sector. examples of that with very good railways. what i would say is the structural issue is important but not the only issue. the bigger issue,in but not the only issue. the bigger issue, in essence, is how effective this new public body would be, great british railways. wouldn't have level of independence he needs from the government to avoid public interference? would it have the funding needed to make sure it can upgrade the infrastructure and deliver transformative projects, and it wouldn't have the level of accountability needed to drive good performance? flan accountability needed to drive good performance?— performance? can you extend the difference between _ performance? can you extend the difference between what - performance? can you extend the difference between what is - performance? can you extend the difference between what is going | difference between what is going between scotland and widows and how the functions work westmark? in scotland and wales, the devolved governments are responsible for procuring the train services just like the department for transport is in relation to england but the
5:51 pm
operator, the organisation for the services is part of the government as well. so, and widows there's transport for widows which runs the trains and planes them, so that is a difference and is essentially more of what the labour party is proposing for england the stock to be honest, it is important but not a huge change because even in the current structure, the structure of the government is proposing other moments, the government, as you heard in your package has a high level of control over the types of services provided. with the labour party is doing is taking a step further and want one integrated body, great british railways, which plans are trains and owns it infrastructure and runs the trains. it could take a while for the current contracts were not which could be five years' time, and by which time if they do get in in this election, they could be out again by then. i election, they could be out again by then. ~' , ., , , ., , then. i think five years should be time enough _ then. i think five years should be time enough to _ then. i think five years should be

5:53 pm
just seven days ago, where he worked at the al aqsa hospital. day before we were due to be inserted, a missile landed in the hospital courtyard and you still went there and we still went, 0k. so some people would say it would be very sort of reticent, i suppose. but that's not what you're about, you war surgeons. but tell me tell me what it was like when you got there and and how on earth you managed to operate there. well, look, i mean, imagine i mean, al—aqsa was largely maternity before we got there. it's now been converted over to trauma map. that's medical aid for palestinians for whom i worked, basically have had teams rotating through there since december. and so we happened to be the fifth team in. imagine a 200 bedded hospital with 700 patients. i mean, the analogy would be, let's say the london underground rush hour or an underground rush hour, you're getting off the train. and that sort of bargy feeling is the feeling you have in the hospital. you have 60 or 70 people in the emergency department at any one time. so it's a big problem.
5:54 pm
and with the number of people come other problems to these pictures, and with the number of people come other problems too. these pictures, i think these are your pictures, aren't they, that we're showing on the screen now for people? are these these mothers or this is is all trauma patients? that's a corridor you're looking at there normally, but it's now become a ward. yeah. and so you put patients wherever you can. that's me looking stressed, i think, and a camp behind me. and how do you conduct operations in that sort of situation? just explain to us what you're using, what you're doing. well, look, you're lacking just about everything. the issue to think about, i think, is you're dealing with a very high infection rate. so let's imagine in london or any developed city, you would probably work on something like a quarter of a percent infection rate. and even that is too much. in gaza, it is 100%.
5:55 pm
so everybody who's operated on has infection. just about. so infection means longer, stay longer. stay means basically further operations. and ultimately you're looking at a mass disablement of a population. so one surgeon said to me only the other day, when the war stops, our work starts and he could not be more correct. interesting to hear from a worse surgeon speaking to me earlier about his experience in gaza, just getting back seven days ago. here are some pictures of a world record being broken. this is a japanese 0lympic ski champion uriel kobayashi is, on a ski jump in iceland. the 27—year—old rural sword to italy world record ski jump, coming on the slope he read a top speed of a km an hour and was suspended in the air for eight seconds and jumped 291 metres,

shattering the ski flying and ski jump shattering the ski flying and ski jump record. thank you for watching. hello there. there were two different types of weather across the country for thursday, neither being warm. across england and wales, there was a lot of cloud around with some patches of rain and these grey skies, the rain, was all tied in with an area of low pressure out in the north sea. you can see the extent of the cloud here. further north, though, we had much brighter weather in scotland with some lengthy spells of sunshine. so if you wanted the sunnier weather, scotland was the place to be. however, we did see some of those brighter skies push in into northern ireland and northern england through the afternoon. now, overnight, we've got a few patches of rain to come and go across southern areas of england, perhaps south wales as well. away from that, most of the uk having clearing skies, especially during the second part of the night, becomes largely dry, and there will be quite a widespread frost in rural areas. so we are looking at a cold and a frosty start to the day for many on friday. but overall, it's a much brighter day with more

in the way of sunshine. the exception southern england, where there is the threat of some rain, especially in the southwest. and through the afternoon we'll see some showers break out. they'll become quite widespread, but especially across northern and eastern scotland and eastern areas of england. wherever you are, we're looking at another chilly day for the time of year, with temperatures well around about 8—14 degrees. now, this weekend will see an area of low pressure move up from the south. and this brings with it the threat of some rain. now, on saturday, the rain will be affecting southern england across parts of wales, the midlands and east anglia. there will be a chilly wind gusting into the 25 miles an hour, not desperately strong, but given those low temperatures, the wind, i think, will make it feel that bit colder. for northern ireland, scotland and northern england, after a cold and frosty start, again, we're looking at an afternoon of sunny spells and passing showers, some of the showers having a bit of hail mixed in and temperatures below average once again. the second part of the weekend, the same area of low pressure threatens some rain across eastern england. now, there is a chance this rain could be a bit more extensive across the midlands and slower to clear, but away from that area, again, after a cold and locally

frosty start, we're looking at some sunny spells and a number of showers, especially across the north and the west of the country. temperatures continue to run below average for the time of year. however, as we get into next week, if you're fed up with this chilly weather, it does look like we'll see something of a change to much milder weather conditions. however, it's not necessarily dry. there will be some rain and showers around next week.
