Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
President Trump's most senior diplomat is making his debut | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
on the international stage at the G20 summit in Germany. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
The new US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is meeting | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov this lunchtime - | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
at a time when contacts between the Trump administration | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
The US State Department says Mr Tillerson will try to provide | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
a "comforting message" to countries uneasy about apparent | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
changes in America's foreign policy positions. | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
We'll be live in Germany in a moment, but first this | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
With so much attention on his own difficulties at home, | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
Donald Trump might be thankful that, for the next couple of days, | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
the spotlight will fall squarely on the shoulders of | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
his new secretary of state Rex Tillerson, attending | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Among his first meetings was with Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson. | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
The people of Gambia were delighted to be coming back | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Not something the United States is going to be doing. | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Small talk and jokes for the cameras, but Rex | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
will want to hear reassuring words about many things, including | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
the new administration's commitment to Nato. | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
In a turbulent, uncertain world, much has been made of | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
Rex Tillerson's previous role as a senior oil executive with very | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
A relationship that will come under microscopic | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
scrutiny when he sits down with Russia's Foreign | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
From security to global trade, the uncertainty about where | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
the United States now stands on many big issues is almost unprecedented. | :03:13. | :03:21. | |
On the one hand you have chaos and a possibly compromised | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
administration, and by that I mean the President Donald Trump | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
and his closest advisers, some of them are deemed indicated | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
On the other hand you have the pragmatists, | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
for example General Mattis, Defence Secretary, trying | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
to say to Nato allies, let's put this back on course. | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
What is also unprecedented and unacceptable, says | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
President Trump, is what he called a biased discredited media, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
at the New York Times and CNN, which he accuses of relying too | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
heavily on leaks and hearsay to undermine his government. | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
I think there is not the same rigour going on right now in newsrooms. | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
The number of rubbish stories that we are seeing with reporters | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
just rushing to publish with thinly sourced or anonymously sourced | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
stories is not doing any favours to the impression that they are out | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
The president again took to Twitter today to attack press coverage. | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
But there's also clear, undeniable evidence that his | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
Andrew Pudzer, the President's nominee for labour secretary, | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
withdrew late last night after cross-party | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
These are testing times for Donald Trump, less than one | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
We can talk to Gary O'Donoghue in Washington, and first, | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
to our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins, at the G20 summit. | :04:45. | :04:55. | |
It's striking that suggestion from the State Department that there will | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
be a comforting message. What do the member states where you are want to | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
hear from him bastion Mark it's very clear that much of the outside world | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
represented at this G20 meeting, both the leading industrialised | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
countries and the most rapidly emerging countries, a group of more | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
than 20 countries, are very anxious, alarmed, frankly, at what they | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
regard as an unpredictable, radically changing American foreign | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
policy. They haven't even understood let alone got to grips with. Rex | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
Tillerson has a big job to do, to reassure them. He says that's what | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
he wants to do. It's first, most challenging meeting this afternoon, | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
is going to be with his opposite number from Russia, Sergei Lavrov. | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
That's going to be a really critical meeting, because this is a veteran | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, one of the longest serving on the block. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
He will undoubtedly be trying to size up and analyse any sense of | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
American weakness, which is the charge, of course, against the | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
administration from its critics, who say the administration is | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
compromised partly by Rex Tillerson's commercial ties and | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
links to Vladimir Putin before he left business and partly by | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
everything that has happened in Washington over the past few days. | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Rex Tillerson will try to distance himself from any of that | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
controversy, try to reassure allies and critics that the United States | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
is going to pursue a twin track policy towards Russia, highly | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
critical of the Ukraine for instance and in particular, and it's going to | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
maintain sanctions, which is one of the critics make, that you seem to | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
be showing signs in Washington of weakening them, and yet it also | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
wants to engage on the other track of the policy with Vladimir Putin | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
and explore ways of building a better relationship. It's clear that | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
many of the people represented here, not least Chancellor Merkel of | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
Germany, where this meeting is being held, are very alarmed. She's been | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
talking about the danger of one country trying to manage the world's | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
problems on its own. James Robbins, thank you. Let's head to Washington | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
and Gary O'Donoghue. James Mattis has been, as we know, at Nato | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
headquarters and again, some very, very strong comments from him? Yes, | :07:06. | :07:14. | |
picking up on the points about developed American foreign policy, | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
it's a work in progress at the moment. There are not clear | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
developed areas, where the world can know exactly what the US is thinking | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
at this stage. One of the area is perhaps where they can is on | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
America's attitude to Nato at the moment. You will remember during the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
campaign Donald Trump called it obsolete. That rhetoric has all gone | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
away. What we have had now is James Mattis, the Defence Secretary, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
saying that he stands behind Nato, but giving a very tough message | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
about the responsibilities of other Nato countries to pay their way. | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
Only three other countries, I think, maybe four other countries apart | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
from the United States, pay this 2% of their annual income is towards | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
defence, which is a prerequisite of Nato membership. James Mattis has | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
gone further and said, look, if you don't do this, guys, we are going to | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
have to consider moderating, his word, moderating, the US | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
contribution to Nato. What that might mean, who knows. You can | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
imagine it might mean things like reconsidering that deployment of a | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
whole armoured Brigade in Poland recently, which was seen as a way of | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
shoring up that threat from Russia deployments in the Baltic states as | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
well. One other thing on the horizon to be aware of in terms of defence | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
and policy towards the Middle East that will inflict on Russia, is that | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
this 30 day review of the Islamic State strategy comes up at the end | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
of February, and that's when we are going to hear whether or not America | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
is prepared to do joint actions inside Syria with the Russians. Gary | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
O'Donoghue, thank you in Washington. Britain's most senior judge has | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
criticised sections of the press for their coverage of the ruling | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
which said Parliament had to be consulted before the process | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
to leave the EU could be triggered. The President of the Supreme Court, | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Lord Neuberger, also accused politicians of not being quick | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
enough to defend This from our legal affairs | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
correspondent, Clive Coleman. CHEERING | :09:18. | :09:34. | |
If the EU referendum stirred the country's emotions, the court case | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
about who had the right to trigger Britain leaving under Article 50, | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
ministers alone, or parliament, raised even stronger feelings. When | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
business woman Gina Miller won ruling preventing the government | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
from starting the process without parliament, some in the media saw | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
red. The coverage by parts of the press of the judges that decided the | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
Article 50 case am here at the High Court, against the government, | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
stunned and hurt the judiciary. The judges did not feel they could | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
respond without compromising their position. But now the country's most | :10:08. | :10:14. | |
senior judge, the outgoing President of the Supreme Court, clearly feels | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
the time is right to say something. Some of the things that were said | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
risks undermining the judiciary and unfairly undermining the judiciary, | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
and therefore undermining the rule of law. This former tabloid editor | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
disagrees. When you get an important issue, like Brexit, being decided by | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
uniquely I think for the first time in 43 years by referendum, you are | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
going to get big reactions on both sides, so I defend the right of a | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
newspaper to give a rather large raspberry to a controversial | :10:52. | :10:58. | |
decision will stop Lord Neuberger wasn't impressed by the response of | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
politicians, including the Lord Chancellor Liz Truss, who has a | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
statutory duty to defend the independence of the judiciary. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Politicians acted slower than one would have liked and perhaps | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
expressed themselves rather more organically than one would have | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
hoped but to be fair to politicians, like judges, they learn and after | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
the Supreme Court case decision they did precisely what they should have | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
done. In response to that Liz Truss said in a statement, that it's right | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
that everyone understands the importance of judicial independence | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
and the rule of law in a free society. If sections of the press | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
can be criticised for undermining the rule of law, then the Supreme | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
Court itself, currently made up of ten white men and one white woman, | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
has faced criticism for a marked lack of diversity. The process of | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
appointing a new president and Jew new justices begins today. With | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
steps to encourage -- and two new justices begins today. With steps to | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
encourage more diverse candidates, including the option of part-time | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
working. That should encourage a favourable press. Clive Coleman, BBC | :12:09. | :12:09. | |
News. Researchers say taking vitamin D | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
supplements could prevent more than three million people in the UK | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
from getting colds or flu each year. Sunshine is needed to produce | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
the vitamin naturally in the skin - and levels plummet | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
during the winter. The team - from Queen Mary, | :12:22. | :12:22. | |
University of London - says the vitamin should be added | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
to foods like bread. Here's our health correspondent, | :12:26. | :12:27. | |
Dominic Hughes. This is what vitamin D | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
deficiency can look like. Softened bones bowing under | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
the weight of the body. But now researchers say vitamin D | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
may have other benefits apart Effectively, vitamin D boosts | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
the production of natural antibiotic substances called antimicrobial | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
peptides, which are toxic to We have shown the effects | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
of vitamin D to prevent respiratory infections are on a par | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
with those of the flu vaccine and They argue that if everyone got | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
enough vitamin D there would be a 10% reduction in the risk | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
of respiratory illnesses Among those with the very lowest | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
levels of vitamin D, the benefit is even greater - | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
a 50% reduction. And across the whole UK population, | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
that would equate to more than 3 million people avoiding | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
a cold or flu each year. Sunlight on the skin | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
is the best source of vitamin D but the increased use of sunscreen, | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
and our weather, means exposure It is possible to get vitamin | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
D through some foods. For example, cereals, particularly | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
those marketed at children, have vitamin D added | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
as a supplement. You can also get it | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
from oily fish or from eggs, although you would have to eat ten | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
every day to ensure What researchers are arguing is that | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
vitamin D should be added as a supplement to products | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
like milk so that we all But some scientists believe that | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
fortifying food with vitamin The recommendation is more around | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
that we should all take a supplement in the winter months, | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
in autumn, and in those groups that are at risk, | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
so people with darker skin or who aren't outside | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
as much, they should take While the specific benefits of | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
vitamin D are still being debated, sunshine and supplements seem to be | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
the best sources. A 15-year-old girl has pleaded not | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
guilty to the murder of Katie Rough was found | :14:25. | :14:27. | |

Karishma Vaswani reports. It has been almost a week | :15:01. | :15:07. | |
since the mysterious death of a man at Kuala Lumpur airport on Monday | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
and still no answers. Malaysia confirmed for the first | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
time today that the dead man is North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
half-brother Kim Jong-nam, I think he carries two | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
different identities. Probably this is an | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
undercover document. Two women, one shown | :15:29. | :15:31. | |

has also been detained. But we don't know what they have | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
to do with Kim Jong-nam's death and we still don't know how he died | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
or what he was doing in Malaysia, but we do know that he did come | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
here fairly frequently. We understand this is one | :15:58. | :16:02. | |

regularly come here and would I spoke to the owner | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
of the restaurant on the phone. He was too scared | :16:12. | :16:19. | |
to speak in person. Did Kim Jong-nam ever tell | :16:20. | :16:20. | |
you that he was worried for his life, that someone | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
might kill him? But at the North Korean Embassy | :16:24. | :16:37. | |
in Kuala Lumpur, all was quiet. Instead, the focus in Pyongyang has | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
been on the 75th celebrations North Korea hasn't said anything | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
about the death of Kim Jong-nam and it is highly unlikely | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
it ever will. In this secretive regime, unanswered | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
questions are a way of life. The new US Secretary | :16:55. | :17:05. | |

how to stick together A big pall of smoke now sits over | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
the country's second-biggest city. The fire is contained | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
but not under control. Wildfires here are rare, | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
but that's of little comfort now. My neighbours up the hill | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
are absolutely terrified because they are surrounded | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
by forest and gorse and long dried We've been up pretty much all night, | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
since we were evacuated, The blackened hillsides | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
are now yielding clues It's believed it started | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
in two separate locations, French prosecutors say they will | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
continue their investigations into the centre-right presidential | :19:51. | :20:02. | |
candidate Francois Fillon, who's been accused of cheating | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
the parliamentary payments system. He's denied paying his wife | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
and children inflated parliamentary salaries for minimal | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
or fictitious work. Let's talk to our Paris | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
correspondent, Hugh Schofield. What is Francois Fillon saying about | :20:17. | :20:32. | |
this? Is he continuing with his campaign? Absolutely. He hasn't got | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
what he wants. He wanted the prosecutor to say there is not | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
enough here to proceed. But the prosecutor, this kind of interim | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
statement, has said, we are going to continue with our investigations | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
because there is enough evidence to allow us to do that. He hasn't got | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
what he wanted but, at the same time, it isn't the worst news. The | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
prosecutor could have said, there is enough before Russell ready to | :20:59. | :21:01. | |
recommend that he be placed under formal investigation, in which time | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
he would have had to step down. So what we have got is more of this | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
drip drip agony for Francois Fillon, which means he can't properly | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
campaign. From the constituencies, reports are coming from his agents | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
in the field saying, it's terrible for us out here, nobody wants to | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
hear about your proposals, just whether you are honest. What it | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
means is that Francois Fillon, the centre-right candidate, has slumped | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
in the polls. He is in third, which is significant because, remember, in | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
the French system, it is number one and number two in the first round | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
who go through to the second round and, right now, those two people are | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
going to be Marine Le of the Front National and the newcomer, Emanuel | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
in -- Emanuel Mammana, the centrist, who is number two. Francois Fillon | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
needs to fight back hard if he is to get second place. -- Emanuel Makron. | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
A woman and her son have been arrested by City of London Police | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
after they allegedly faked her death in order | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
Officers say the woman's teenage son and his guardian tried | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
Our correspondent Helena Lee is here. | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
The City of London Police has told us that this 18-year-old and his | :22:12. | :22:23. | |
guardian claimed that the woman had died in a car crash in Zanzibar in | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
east Africa last year. It is alleged they tried to claim against a life | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
insurance policy worth ?140,000 in her name. It is also alleged that. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
Humans including a death certificate and also accident reports were | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
produced. -- alleged that falls documents. They couldn't verify the | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
woman cars death so they refused to pay the claim. They passed it onto | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
police and they found that the woman was alive and living in Canada. She | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
to the UK, she was arrested and questioned by police. Her son was | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
also arrested and questioned and both of them have been bailed and | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
they are expected to return to a police station in Birmingham in | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
April. The guardian who was with the 18-year-old who was 24, he was also | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
interviewed under caution. Social care for elderly people | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
is on the brink of collapse in some parts of England, | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
according to the charity Age UK. It says more than 50,000 people | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
are now not receiving any help, despite struggling with essential | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
daily tasks such as washing, Our Health Correspondent, | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Sophie Hutchinson, reports. For ten years, Elaine Yates has | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
cared for her husband. They managed to get some | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
social care but Elaine, who runs a support group for carers, | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
says it's much harder to get now. When Michael first came | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
into the system, it was a lot easier, because we had our own care | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
manager that grew to know us and could help support | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
us in what we needed, whereas today, people coming | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
into the system don't get that type of support, | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
they don't have their Today's report by Age UK says, | :24:08. | :24:09. | |
since 2010, in England, there has been a rise of 50% | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
in the number of elderly people who don't get the help they need | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
with essential daily activities. These are getting out of bed, | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
bathing, dressing, using the toilet, The charity's particularly concerned | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
about more than 50,000 people who struggle with three or more | :24:23. | :24:29. | |
of these activities While social care is run | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
in different ways across the UK, cuts have meant councils in England | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
have had to reduce the amount they spend on social care, | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
and Age UK says emergency funding is now needed to avert a complete | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
collapse of services in some areas. We are seeing the beginnings | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
of something that's And that's because, | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
if there is going to be any extra money for social care, | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
it's not coming yet. That is a real concern because, | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
every day we have an ageing population, we have more people over | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
85, in particular, who need care. The Government says it | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
recognises the pressures on the system and is working | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
on a sustainable solution. There is now a growing expectation | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
a rescue package may be included Fifa's president Gianni Infantino | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
says the 2026 Football World Cup could be hosted by more | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
than one country. He says this could involve up | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
to four different nations, Our sports news correspondent | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Richard Conway is here. Possibly as many as four. What is he | :25:34. | :25:50. | |
suggesting? The reasons behind this are that Fifa agreed that the 2026 | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
World Cup would be completed by 48 countries, expansion. That brings | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
logistical hosting issues for smaller nations. So what Gianni | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
Infantino is saying is that he wants to expand the number or encourage | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
co-hosting between three or even four different countries. At the | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
moment, the favourite for the 2026 bed is America. That leaves open the | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
possibility of a co-hosting agreement between Canada and Mexico, | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
despite the difficulties with the Trump administration between those | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
two countries, becomes a real possibility. In the wider context, | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
it is politically astute by Gianni Infantino. Lots of smaller nations | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
will welcome the chance to play a part in the World Cup. He has a real | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
election in 2019 and he will hope they remember this. | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
100 years ago, the Women's Royal Naval Service was founded to free up | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
more men for active service at sea during the First World War. | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
It was the start of a hugely significant change in the role | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
Wrens, as they became known, served as cooks, stewards, | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
dispatch riders and telegraphists, and went on to play | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
key roles in the Navy in the Second World War and beyond. | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Our correspondent, Duncan Kennedy, is in Portsmouth, where events | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Welcome to the heart of this expedition in the naval dockyard. | :27:10. | :27:25. | |
You join me at the start of this royal naval service for women back | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
in 1917, but don't be fooled into thinking this is a dry exhibition. | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
This is about the people who were women and made up the service. Look | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
at this photo, 1919, the first parade of Wrens, and alongside, this | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
permit to go home dating December 1918. That was her Christmas leave | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
to go and see her family, all part of this exhibition. | :27:53. | :27:54. | |
At 90 years old, Wyn Price still has an affection for the sea. | :27:55. | :27:57. | |
Whether it is her admiration for these World War II motor boats | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
or the time she joined as a 17-year-old in 1944, | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
the Wrens have always held a strong bond over her | :28:04. | :28:05. | |
You had to go in what they was short of and they | :28:06. | :28:13. | |
I couldn't cook so I opted for a steward. | :28:14. | :28:22. | |
Proud then and honoured now to be celebrating 100 | :28:23. | :28:24. | |
No, the ones before me were pioneers. | :28:25. | :28:45. | |
The new Wren is welcomed by a Petty Officer | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
and ushered into the presence of a chief officer. | :28:49. | :28:50. | |
The Women's Royal Naval Service was formed in 1917 but | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
it was in the Second World War they came of age. | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
It is by her orders that the mail boat | :28:57. | :29:00. | |
stops at the ships named on that precious letter. | :29:01. | :29:02. | |
This may have been the extent of the seaborne presence | :29:03. | :29:06. | |
but the Wrens' 17,000 volunteers were vital to take the strain off | :29:07. | :29:08. | |
men in the Navy's non-fighting roles. | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
Without the Wrens we wouldn't have the service that we have today | :29:14. | :29:16. | |
so they very much laid the foundations for the women who are | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
It is a nice opportunity to look back and | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
celebrate the achievements of the past 100 years and even | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
The new exhibition charts this vital service | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
When the women integrated with the men in | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
1993, out went the title Wrens, but they continued to embody the | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
standards and professionalism of the Royal Navy. | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
The pioneers really set the bar high, I think, | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
and they had to prove themselves, which they did really well, | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
and after that it was for the other women to embrace that change | :29:51. | :29:58. | |
and they took it forward and it has continued to go forward. | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
Women now make up 10% of the Royal Navy. | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
100 years after they became the first of the free services | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
to officially recruit women, the new exhibition is a moment | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
for early Wrens to reflect, commemorate and cherish | :30:10. | :30:12. | |
their connections with Britain's maritime heritage. | :30:13. | :30:23. | |
This is all about the personal detail, the letters and photographs | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
and uniforms. It all opens to the public on Saturday and the | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
exhibition lasts for the rest of the year. | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
Time for a look at the weather with Stav. | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
Thank you. With the milder air across the UK and seems like this in | :30:44. | :30:51. | |
Norfolk, some good spells of sunshine, it's going to feel | :30:52. | :30:55. | |
positively springlike. This was the picture earlier in Norfolk. Cloud | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
has built a bit. A big contrast to the north of the UK where, across | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
Scotland, we have strong winds, cloud and showers, close to the low | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
pressure. You can see where the sunshine is, in the south and east, | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
although cloud beginning to feel in a bit. Southern counties should hold | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
onto the sunshine all day. That low pressure across Scotland is moving | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
off to the North Sea and the winds getting lighter. Some rain coming | :31:26. | :31:29. | |
into Northern Ireland. Lots of sunshine in the south, with decent | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
temperatures in south Devon, potentially 13 or 14 Celsius. | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
Double-figure values in the sunshine across the south. What cloud | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
developing in the Midlands, a few showers, and rain developing in | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
north Wales and north-west England and stretching into Northern | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
Ireland. Sunshine and blustery showers across Scotland. These will | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
gradually ease through the day along with the wind. That area of low | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
pressure moving off towards Scandinavia. It turns dry with clear | :31:59. | :32:02. | |
spells for Scotland. Some clear spells in the south west, so it will | :32:03. | :32:09. | |
be chilly with a touch of frost and some and fog. In central areas, | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
Northern Ireland, the Midlands and south-east, holding the cloud and | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
some outbreaks of rain. It will be fairly mild. Friday generally drier, | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
a bit of rain in the north-west, but it should lift and allow some | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
sunshine to develop. A cloudy day generally for Friday. It will still | :32:29. | :32:34. | |
be mild with all the air coming in from the south and south-west. | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
Double-figure 's foremost and feeling quite pleasant in the | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
sunshine in the north-east. There will be areas of sunshine in | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
central, southern and eastern parts of the UK, with the north-west | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
seeing the biggest cloud and outbreaks of rain. The majority of | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
England and Wales should stay dry with some good, sunny spells. | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
Double-figure values for most. On Sunday, it's the north-west corner | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
seeing the strongest winds and the biggest outbreaks of rain will stop | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
the driest weather in central, southern and eastern areas. | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
Double-figure values again. Those mild temperatures lasting into the | :33:12. | :33:12. | |
start of next week. The new US Secretary | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
of State, Rex Tillerson, is meeting his counterparts - | :33:16. | :33:17. | |
including from Britain and Russia - On BBC One we now join the BBC's | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
