defence his defence barrister instead has been questioning the convictions that rolf harris already has and one of those relates to a community centre in portsmouth where he was found guilty of assaulting an eight—year—old girl in 1959. today witnesses were called by the defence, people fled involvement with the community centre back in the late 1960s, people who knew it well and they all told the court they could never remember rolf harris actually appearing there. indeed someone from his management company who was involved in booking his appearances at the time also said in court she would never have booked rolf harris to appear at that kind of event at that time because of the level of fame he had achieved. that is part of the defence strategy to question the pre—existing convictions, part of the prosecution case is that that shows the propensity he has for this type of offending. but his defence barrister said in short, we say the jury barrister said in short, we say the jury got it wrong in the first trial and we do not say that lightly, we have enormous faith in the jury system but no system is infallible.

rolf harris denies the seven counts of indecent assault but he faces, the evidence here is expected to go on for another couple of weeks. thousands of migrants and refugees are sleeping rough on the streets of the serbian capital belgrade in freezing temperatures and many are refusing shelter in official accommodation according to the government. this is how migrants are living in the serbian capital, belgrade — sleeping rough with temperatures dropping as low as minus 13 this week. but the people here have a choice — the serbian government says warmth and food is available in official shelters. but many fear deportation and keep trying instead to cross illegally into hungary and on to other eu countries. this is the alternative. 6,000 migrants are housed in official centres across the country, waiting for a chance to be among 20 people a day granted asylum by hungary.

0n the belgrade streets, eight—year—old aziz is alone, his brother detained on the croatian border. i mean, aziz, you don't sound well — is he 0k? yeah, he's 0k, he has a little problem of flu, he have a flu and chest problems, cough problems. he would at least be, like, safe and warm... extremely ill, we alert aid workers to aziz‘s case, who try to convince him to leave. that's not uncommon, sadly. we've seen, over the last few days, children that are eight, nine, ten. i was speaking to a 12—year—old afghan boy yesterday in this warehouse that's been here for three months. he's waiting for a call from a smuggler, because he thinks that's his best option. with older migrants looking out for him, saying their chance of crossing the border is greater with him in tow, two days on, aziz is still sleeping rough in the warehouse where there are dozens of other unaccompanied children. gavin lee, bbc news, belgrade. people caught driving well

above the speed limit, will now face much biggerfines in england and wales. those clocked at more than 50 miles an hour in a 30 zone, could be hit with a penalty of up to a thousand pounds. thousands of motorists are fined for speeding every year, and the penalties already vary depending on how bad an offence is considered to be, but under changes to sentencing guidelines, exceeding the limit by a large margin is about to get even more expensive. magistrates will set a sentence from a starting point of 150% of weekly income — that's up from the current starting point of 100%. the increase will apply to those cases judged to be the most serious, and that means on motorways, where the speed limit is 70, anyone driving at 101 mph or faster. in a 20 zone, it would apply after 41 mph. there is, though, as now, an upper limit forfines — £2500 on motorways and £1000

on all other roads. the changes have been welcomed by safety campaigners and motoring organisations. the prospect of higher fines may change behaviours. what it will do is act as a deterrent, potentially, but what we also need is effective enforcement on our roads, and we have fewer road—traffic police officers than we did five years ago. the tougher penalties are part of broader guidelines set out by the sentencing council for magistrates in england and wales. these guidelines were last updated in 2008, and while there are significant changes for motorists caught speeding, they also cover a whole range of other offences dealt with by magistrates. that includes the non—payment of the tv licence fee. there'll be a new option for magistrates not to impose financial penalties for cases judged to be at the lowest level of offending. the sentencing council says the changes should help magistrates sentence fairly and proportionately. they‘ re very important to ensure consistency, so whether you're in hackney or halifax,

you'll have the same approach, the same starting point, the same range being looked at for a similar offence. the changes for speeding and the other offences covered by the new guidelines will be brought in towards the end of april. daniel boettcher, bbc news. the drama lion — which tells the true story of an adopted man searching for his lost family — has been been nominated for six 0scar awards. the film stars nicole kidman and british actor dev patel — who has also been nominated for best supporting actor. with me is iain canning — he's the producer of the oscar nominated, lion. hgppy happy man. it has been a good day. where did you find out coach mikel where did you find out coach mike i was in the office and could not bear to watch the live feeds so i wandered about until i could hear screams of joy and wandered about until i could hear screams ofjoy and then i was ok. but you have been here before. we we re but you have been here before. we were here with the king ‘s speech,

yes, a very special time. so were here with the king ‘s speech, yes, a very specialtime. 50 nice were here with the king ‘s speech, yes, a very special time. 50 nice to be nominated again. tell us yes, a very special time. so nice to be nominated again. tell us about the film. it is a true story that we came upon, it is about this young five—year—old child who got separated from his father when he was young and ended up on a train living on the streets of calcutta and adopted by an australian family and adopted by an australian family and 25 years later he tried to find his way back to his birth mother. so your company ‘s british and australian? yes. was it created to make this film was the company already in existence? we were around since before the king ‘s speech. we try to find good stories wherever they are but this was an incredible true story. we tried to find uplifting work and ryan seemed obvious. does that explain jeffrey rudge, the strain on actor, being in the king ‘s speech! and of course

nicole kidman. she brings a lot of star power to the movie. yes and it is also a personal story for her so i think it was very easy in some ways as producers to put the film together in terms of the actors because everyone was drawn to this incredible true story. it was easier than normal sometimes. when you say personal story, not in terms of the fa cts , personal story, not in terms of the facts, just how she was drawn in? nicole kidman is a mother who has adopted and i think the film also has backed elements about adoption and it was moving for her. and dev patel nominated for best supporting actor as well. yes we put through quite a process to get that role and he was absolutely the right person and we are over the moon for him and eve ryo ne and we are over the moon for him and everyone else who was nominated. the logistics of coordinating an

australian british effort in this, is that tricky? it has got to look sea mless is that tricky? it has got to look seamless and that is the most important thing. it was incredible shooting in india with all the beautiful chaos there and are very different thing in tasmania. it was quite a lot of the film, we have this incredible young actor who is extraordinary in the film and we really had to rely on this young kid to provide a performance that eve ryo ne to provide a performance that everyone would fall in love with and tha nkfully everyone would fall in love with and thankfully according to nominations today people have really connected with the film. that was critical casting. we tested over 2000 children for the role, a big process that started for five months before the preproduction process. so a very important element. your company has been involved with so many big productions, macbeth, and so on. how

well our british producers doing in the movie game at the moment, is it something, we know that actors spread far and wide and their reputation is enormous globally. the folks behind the scenes? i think there is a lot of producers making great work from the uk, and an incredible crew base and that is the reason so many us productions come to the uk. i think there is a strong producer community making great work and working with incredible british artists. who is stressing you! i'm not sure! i will take offers! —— dressing. congratulations and good luck on 0scar night and we will see what happens. thank you. children in the netherlands ranked amongst the happiest in the world and what is the secret? we met two

youngsters who wrote a book about it. this doesn't take much, according to the dutch. they have got the most contented babies, the happiest kids and, as adults, the best work—life balance. the lessons start with breakfast. they place a high value on family life, and on communication between the members of the family. and so part of eating together is about talking together. and the dutch scored the highest on children who ate breakfast before they went to school, and that sets them up for the day. so at the end of the day it doesn't matter if it's chocolate. chocolate sprinkles clearly contradict the healthy eating advice, and yet dutch kids have some of the lowest obesity rates, which may be linked to the fact that so many cycle to school. but, as you can see, bikes and cars have separate lanes, so parents don't have the same worries about sending kids out on two wheels. and, when they get to school, dutch pupils don't face academic pressure, things like tests and homework, until much later. when there's not so much pressure, children start school by a positive

way, by enjoying it, by feeling this is something nice to do, and i think that lasts your whole life. and that is backed up by the unicef statistics, which suggests these children are more likely to go on to further education than their british counterparts. you will see lots of fathers at the school gates. the dutch government legislates for unpaid "daddy days," which encourage families to share the childcare. and then there is the freedom. it's actually wonderful. and plus, we always read in all of these books, right, that they should play outside. so i'm happy that it's part of our culture, that they're expected to be out and playing. is it because, in the netherlands, it is safer? we can't send kids out to parks in london or the heart of birmingham, can we? i think so, actually. in a sense, you have to trust your own society, right? back—to—basics parenting is what it's all about. you don't have to try so hard. and the by—product of giving kids

greater independence — more time for yourself. at least, when they're a little older. head due west from here, and you'll reach essex. the uk may be geographically close, but there are of course fundamental differences between our societies, and not all of the lessons from here can simply be exported over there. but they mayjust inspire you. a look at the weather now. some of us had a nice day today but for others it stayed quite grey and some persistent areas of fog. that becomes more widespread later tonight and through tomorrow morning and there could be some disruption. check your local bbc radio station.

some slippery surfaces also possible in that zone. further north it is milder and mostly dry. 9 degrees for glasgow and belfast but close to freezing across the south—east. that fog persists through the morning for some, lifting into low cloud giving a dull afternoon. some sunshine from south—west england through wales and into some northern counties. a lot of cloud for northern ireland and scotla nd of cloud for northern ireland and scotland but the rain mostly holding. —— holding off. this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 8pm: in a landmark ruling, the uk supreme court has decided that only parliament has the power, and not ministers, to trigger withdrawalfrom the european union. so any change in the law to give effect to the referendum must be made in the only way permitted by the uk

constitution, namely by an act of parliament. to proceed otherwise would be a breach of settled constitutional principles stretching back many centuries. the government is expected to introduce a bill to trigger article 50 on thursday. but nicola sturgeon says the views of the scottish people are being ignored. with every day that passes right now, it's becoming clear that scotland's voice cannot and is not being heard in the uk on this
