Hello, this is Breakfast, with Ben Thompson and Sian Lloyd. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Swear an oath to uphold British values - new government plans | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
to force all people in public office to defend principles such | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
as democracy, equality and freedom of speech. | :00:15. | :00:24. | |
The proposals come in response to a recent report warning | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
of increasing ethnic segregation in Britain. | :00:28. | :00:39. | |
Good morning, it's Sunday the 18th of December | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
The former Ukip leader, Nigel Farage says he wants to be | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
a "bridge" between Britain and President Trump, | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
but he claims ministers are banned from talking to him. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
Opening up about the pressures of being a royal - | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Prince Harry says his charity work in Africa is escape and a way | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
For me, personally it is an escape. And not only have I found that | :01:01. | :01:15. | |
escape but I have found a way to try and use the name and position for | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
good. In sport, Chelsea make it 11 were straight wins. The will goal | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
against Crystal Palace pulled some nine points clear at the top of the | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
table. BBC sport presenter and occasional | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
resident of this sofa - Ore Oduba - takes | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
the Strictly crown. Good morning. Dense fog patches in | :01:32. | :01:46. | |
the southern half of the UK that could linger well on into the | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
afternoon. A lot of clout but very little rain to speak of. | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
All holders of public office will have to swear an oath | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
of allegiance to British values in an attempt to tackle extremism. | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
The Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, says people can't play | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
a positive role in public life unless they accept basic values | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
like democracy, equality and freedom of speech. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
The proposal follows a recent report that warns of growing ethnic | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
Our political correspondent Mark Lobel is in our | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
Mark, why now? What is behind this? What's the difference do they hope | :02:20. | :02:34. | |
to make? They hope to make a difference and I hope to encourage | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
integration in British society. As community Secretary wrote in the | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
Sunday Times saying that when he was eight years old yet and see a | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
doctor. Not because he was unwell but because at the actors and | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
interpreted with mother. She is learnt English her life as being | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
better. He also thinks that immigrants should integrate into | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
British society and that is why this new oath is being introduced because | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
he wants everybody to take it so that it is there so that all holders | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
of public office in the future will espouse these views of freedom of | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
religion, freedom from abuse and freedom of speech and to make both | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
these ethnic that surround their communities, to help them integrate | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
and get on in life. Nigel Farage has been saying that he wants to be a | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
bridge between Britain and the Trump administration. How many times have | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
we seen in go back and forth to Trump Towers to make this point that | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
he has a solid relationship with Donald Trump which, by the way, but | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
that way before the TV cameras were there to win Donald Trump was one of | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
the many contenders for the Republican crown. He was in constant | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
touch with Nigel Farage's team. And now Nigel wants to see something | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
from having spent a lot of time on my relationship. But it seems | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Theresa May and number ten are not interested in giving him any airtime | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
in any sort of role and in fact Nigel Farage coming out in telling | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
the BBC today that Cabinet offices, Cabinet ministers, have been banned | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
from speaking to him. Thank you, Mark. You can hear the full | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
interview with Nigel Farage on broadcasting house | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
The UN Security Council is expected to vote today on a French proposal | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
to send observers to the Syrian city of Aleppo to monitor | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
Reports from Syria suggest a deal is near that would allow | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
the thousands of civilians and fighters from rebel-held parts | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
The buses may be lining up outside eastern Aleppo, | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
This footage claims to show a convoy of vehicles standing by to pick | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
For the last two days, those who packed their bags | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
and were hoping to escape have remained stranded | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
A deal to get them out stalled, with both sides | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
accusing each other of breaking their word. | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Government forces said they would only restart evacuations | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
when supporters of President Assad were allowed to leave two towns | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
As the negotiations continue, so does the wait for those doing | :05:08. | :05:15. | |
what they can to keep warm in the streets and in the hospitals. | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
Across Europe, thousands of people are protesting to pressure | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
the international community to do more. | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
Today's vote at the United Nations will ensure UN officials can monitor | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
the evacuations, and that those who choose to stay are protected. | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
But it is not clear if Russia will back the plan. | :05:40. | :05:48. | |
if and when a deal is reached to allow the buses to fill up again, | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
the process is likely to remain difficult, dangerous and could last | :05:56. | :05:56. | |
several weeks. In around half an hour's time we'll | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
be speaking to the aid charity World Vision about what's being done | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
to help the people of Aleppo. China is set to return an American | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
underwater drone that its navy The US craft was captured | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
by in international The Pentagon said the drone | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
was being used to carry out scientific research | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
when it was taken. The US President-elect, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
Donald Trump took to social media in protest - accusing the Chinese | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
of stealing and writing that the US should tell China that | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
they don't want it back. Prince Harry has revealed he no | :06:29. | :06:38. | |
longer struggles with his royal role, and says he feels the need | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
to "make something" of his life. Speaking in an ITV documentary | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
about his charity work in Lesotho the prince said losing his mother | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
at a young age made him question his position, | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
but that he now views life What is it that you are making? | :06:52. | :07:07. | |
Clothes, obviously. Prince Harry seems in his element as he helps out | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
in a centred teaching life skills to people suffering from HIV. It is run | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
by a charity co-founded ten years ago in a small South African state. | :07:16. | :07:21. | |
They have helped over 21,000 people, many of them teenagers. And Harry's | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
clearly passionate about his work. HIV/Aids is the number one killer of | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
adolescence across sub Saharan Africa. Because they don't take the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
drugs? Here you have a bunch of kids who have no idea about HIV. They are | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
not allowed to talk about it. And now that we have the drugs and | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
appeals to give these kids are healthy happy long live yet we're | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
not educating them or empowering them to make their own decisions. He | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
first visited Africa in 1997, not long after the death of his mother. | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
Says he still feels the connection to the continent. The first time | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
that I went to Africa I was tiny. I think I went to a Spice Girl concert | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
in Johannesburg? For me, personally, it is an escape. Not only have an | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
escape I have found a way to try and use my name and position for good. | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
In recent weeks, his relationship with actress Megan Michael has based | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
in firmly in the media spotlight once again. In the past he resented | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
his position and wanted to bury his head in the sand for a now, however, | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
he is excited to be able to use his profile to help those less | :08:40. | :08:41. | |
fortunate. "Prince Harry In Africa" will be | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
broadcast on ITV at 9pm on Monday. If you didn't catch Strictly | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
last night and don't You may have seen the result in our | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
headline, however. Our own Ore Oduba and his partner | :08:52. | :09:02. | |
Joanne Clifton took home the Glitterball trophy in last | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
night's Strictly Come Dancing final - beating fellow competitors | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp. Last night also marked Len Goodman's | :09:09. | :09:10. | |
last appearance as a judge as our Entertainment | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports And I can now reveal the champions | :09:14. | :09:29. | |
for 2016. Ore Oduba! The moment that Ore Oduba was crowned the strictly | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
come dancing 2016 champion. He was voted the winner after a public vote | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
during the evening's final. The BBC sport presenter thanked the show and | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
paid tribute to his dance partner Joanna Clifton. You are the most | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
incredible person. This is the most incredible experience of my life. I | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
have learnt to dance, made a best friend and been on a show that I | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
have loved for 12 years. He defeated the other two finalist,s sank to his | :09:58. | :10:07. | |
performances of three dancers. An American smooth. A showdown is will | :10:08. | :10:27. | |
and the jive. The latter two routines were given perfect scores | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
by the judges. Ore Oduba maybe this year's winner but for many a close | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
runner-up was Ed Walls. His lack of dance skills made him consistently | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
low scores from the judges of the he had entertained the audience so they | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
kept him in until it finally left the competition last month. The | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
evening's final was also then Goodman's last appearance in the | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
series and he was given a standing ovation in the studio. He has led | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
the judging panel since the programme began 12 years ago. | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
Congratulations to them. We'll be talking all things Strictly | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
throughout the programme - speaking to a Strictly | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
"superfan" just before 7:00, and to Joanne and Kevin Clifton's | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
parents just after 8:00. I imagine the celebrations went on | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
quite late. The UK's finest trees have been | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
revealed in the annual "Tree This copper beech at a school | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
in East Lothian in Scotland is known It takes its name from a game of tig | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
that pupils play around the trunk. This Sycamore took the top prize | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
in England and it's also one of the most photographed | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
trees in the country. Located near Hadrian's Wall | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
in Northumberland, it also featured in the film "Robin Hood: | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Prince of Thieves". And in Wales, the Giant Brimmon Oak | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
in Powys has a trunk which stretches And last but not least - | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
in Northern Ireland, this Holm Oak in County | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
Down took the prize. It leans at a 45 degree angle | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
and is now supported The four trees will now enter | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
into the European Tree of the Year competition, as well as getting | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
a ?1000 care grant. He knew there was a competition like | :12:24. | :12:34. | |
that? They are quite beautiful, aren't they? It is 12 minutes past | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
six a.m. Let's have a quick look at this morning's papers. A lot of | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
stories we cover this morning feature on the front of bed but one | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
story of particular interest is travel disruption this year. A lot | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
of the paper is also talking about the power of the unions to cause | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
transport chaos over the festive period. We know a number of airlines | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
are planning strike action and baggage handlers and a number of | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
airports across the country. And you can see the picture there of Ore and | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
his partner before they lifted the trophy. It was suggested that 11.3 | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
million people watched the final. The express also has Ore and Joanne. | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
They are talking about or exit fuelling a festive shopping bonanza. | :13:31. | :13:40. | |
Brexit hitting consumers spending a record breaking boost. I was in town | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
yesterday and it was chaos. If you haven't done your Christmas shopping | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
yet, get out now and do it. In the Sunday Times we have Danny and his | :13:52. | :14:00. | |
partner. No picture of Ore. The headline is about the rail union | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
boss vowing to topple the Tories. Saying that this Christmas strike is | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
to bring down the Tories is the claim of this headline. The loyalty | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
oath for all public officers the top story today suggesting anyone | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
working in the public sector should make an oath to uphold the values of | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
the country suggesting that could help integration. And the Sunday | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Telegraph says Theresa May is refusing to curb the power of | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
striking trade unions despite the growing backlash from her own MPs as | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
Britain braces for more transport chaos over Christmas. A photograph | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
as will Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince of Wales and that photo | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
has been released to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday celebrations. | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
What a wonderful photo. It is quarter past six and this is the | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
main stories. The Communities Secretary, | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
Sajid Javid, has called for all holders of public office | :15:03. | :15:03. | |
to swear an oath to British values Nigel Farage says he wants to be | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
a "bridge" between Britain and the incoming US Trump | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
administration, but claims Cabinet ministers have been banned | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
from talking to him. Time for the weather. More mist, | :15:15. | :15:32. | |
more fog? What is it? I have a photo of a tree, but it is all about the | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
fog. It is dense across the southern half of England and south Wales. | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Much like yesterday, it could be slow on the roads and cause delays | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
at the airport. Grey across the southern half too much of the day. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
Patchy rain further north first thing, but that is fading away. Fog | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
further south could stick around until late morning, maybe into the | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
afternoon as well. Poor visibility in places. Take care on the road. | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
Visibility is better in the north, but a good deal of cloud. Patchy | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
rain this morning fizzling out through the morning. There will | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
still be rain in the north and west of Scotland. That will linger into | :16:12. | :16:23. | |
the afternoon. We will see something brighter developing towards the east | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
of Scotland. Around the Moray Firth, going well this afternoon with that | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
south-westerly breeze. Temperatures are rising on the other side of the | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Grampians, 14 or 15. More like nine in Aberdeen and Glasgow. If you are | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
lucky, 10 degrees in London. That depends on brighter weather poking | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
through that layer of cloud, which will be extensive. This evening, fog | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
will thicken across the southern half of the UK. It could be pretty | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
great for Monday morning across the south counties, maybe south Wales as | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
well. Further north, dry weather and clouding. Towards the north-west, a | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
week whether from bringing rain. Nothing too extensive and nothing to | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
widespread. A breeze to go with the rain, which is there for Monday at | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
least. Further south, fog a problem again for southern most counties. | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
That will lift. It looks great on Monday afternoon. Patchy rain | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
drifting in from the North Sea. Temperatures across the board pretty | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
much in single figures. A chilly feel to Monday afternoon. Looking | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
ahead to the rest of this coming week, it is mostly dry at first, but | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
from mid week onwards, we will see wetter weather developing, and it | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
will turn windy as well. Winds could be in issue towards the latter part | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
of the week as well. Thank you. We'll be back with | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
the headlines at 6.30. Now on Breakfast, it's | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
time for The Film Review Hello, and welcome to | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's | :17:43. | :18:01. | |
cinema releases is Mark Kermode. And we have a festive | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
feast, I would suggest. We have Rogue One: A Star Wars | :18:05. | :18:06. | |
Story, you may have seen some A very interesting documentary | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
called Eagle Huntress. And looking ahead to | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
New Year's Day, A Monster Calls. Yeah, you're right, | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
Star Wars, who knew? So, this is a stand-alone | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
instalment that comes between Episodes III and IV | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
and takes its cue from the opening crawl of Star Wars, in which it | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
explains that before everything happened in Star Wars, | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
rebel fighters were trying to get Felicity Jones is Jyn Erso, | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
who's a loner with a complicated back story, who forms an initially | :18:41. | :18:53. | |
uneasy alliance with the rebels. And because it's a stand-alone | :18:54. | :18:56. | |
story, we get a whole load of new characters, not least | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
a reprogrammed imperial droid who trusts her as little | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
as she trusts him. Why does she get | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
a blaster and I don't? We're going to Jedha - | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
that's a war zone. I find that answer | :19:10. | :19:21. | |
vague and unconvincing. Would you like to know | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
the probability of her using In fact, the film itself | :19:28. | :19:47. | |
is rather dark, it's directed by Gareth Edwards who made Godzilla | :19:48. | :20:01. | |
and, more importantly, he made Monsters, which although | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
nominally was a creature feature, it was actually a film | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
about relationships between people that just happened to have | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
extraterrestrials in it. He has described this movie | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
as being like a war movie, and there's lots of nods | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
to cinematic visions of D-Day and the Vietnam War, | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
and nods along to The Dirty Dozen Because it's a stand-alone story, | :20:19. | :20:21. | |
because it is being envisaged by the director as a war movie, | :20:22. | :20:30. | |
it is tougher than a lot of the Star Wars | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
films, admirably so. On the very positive side, the cast | :20:34. | :20:35. | |
is a real rainbow coalition. The thing that science fiction | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
manages to do is envisage worlds in which standard barriers | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
about race and gender really have no role at all, and I really liked | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
that about this film. I also like the fact that, | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
although it uses cutting-edge CGI, it does feel like a film | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
from the physical era It feels like one of the original | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
movies, and it's very, very coherent in its own sense, | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
despite the fact that there were lots of stories | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
about them doing reshoots, Actually, the story seems to be very | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
coherent and to keep true to itself. I thought it was dark and exciting, | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
and I thought the characters I really liked Felicity Jones, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
I thought she really And it had genuine surprises, | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
and when you think this could have been a cash-in, anything | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
that is a spin off, A Star Wars Story, | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
what does that mean? It felt coherent and self-contained | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
but fitted in with the Star Wars world and leaned towards all | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
the Star Wars movies that I like and away from | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
the movies that I don't like. And the third act, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
because of the fact that it doesn't wimp out on its narrative, | :21:41. | :21:43. | |
the third act felt really exciting No-one was more surprised than me, | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
I've seen it twice, and I thought it was even better | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
the second time round. Did you see $200 million | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
worth of screen time? I never sat there thinking about how | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
much any of it cost. I sat there thinking, | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
"I hope they get out of this situation, that's a really | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
good cliffhanger." Now, Eagle Huntress is your next, | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
which sounds extraordinary. Yes, it's a documentary | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
about a young girl from a Kazakh family, and she wants to become | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
the first woman in her family This paternal line of people | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
who hunt with eagles has been passed Aisholpan is our young subject, | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
and her father encourages her to follow in his footsteps, | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
which according to the documentary Not everybody is convinced that | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
women should be doing this. "Women can't ride horses, | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
women can't be eagle hunters, they've got to stay | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
at home and get married." The interesting thing | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
about it is she is a fantastic subject and it is a really | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
interesting story. The documentary, however, | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
is very good-looking, It does, however, feel very | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
constructed, it feels like it's a film that has been put together | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
in the editing room, and there are times where you think, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
"OK, this feels like a dramatic story which has been put together, | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
as opposed to a documentary And there has been some question | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
about the exact voracity of the story, whether she is | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
the very first woman to do this, But it doesn't matter, | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
because she is such a great subject, and because the vistas | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
are so spectacular, and because the central idea | :23:21. | :23:21. | |
is so intriguing and interesting, it gets round whatever formal | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
problems it may have. Around Christmas, if you want a role | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
model for a young girl, I think it's a lot better than a few | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
that I could suggest. And there's a sequence where she has | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
to go and get the eaglet, and she is with her father | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
and she is hanging down the side of a mountain on a piece of string, | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
and her father is saying, She's very brave, very resourceful, | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
and you will enjoy spending time in her company, because she's | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
a really interesting subject. Screenwriter Patrick Ness, | :23:52. | :23:53. | |
working from his own source novel. It's about a young boy | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
who is terrified of bullying, and he's frightened of being | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
bereaved, and he's visited by a tree monster played by Liam Neeson, | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
which tells him stories, and through these stories lends some | :24:06. | :24:07. | |
form of fantastical reality to the anguish which | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
he is experiencing. Harder, Conor O'Malley, | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
come on, harder! You can see what it does | :24:13. | :24:43. | |
is it blends seamlessly from the fantastical | :24:44. | :25:08. | |
to the more real. The thing is, fairy tales are really | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
about dealing with very real issues, but dealing with them | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
in a fantastical fashion, It's directed by JA Bayona, | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
who made The Orphanage, which of course the guiding light | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
on the project was Guillermo del Toro, and you can see | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
a lot of him in this. Bayona went to make The Impossible, | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
which was the tsunami drama, But this really harks back | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
to the great work he did with The Orphanage, and it manages | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
to tell a story which is real and heartbreaking and feels very | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
true, about a young boy confronting the difficulties of his life, | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
but doing it through Pan's Labyrinth is a | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
similar kind of story. The big monster is the protector, | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
in various ways, of a child. There can be very few | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
children who wouldn't, in some way, recognise | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
and relate to that. A little bit, but it is like any | :26:02. | :26:03. | |
good fairy tale, it appeals to the child in everyone, | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
and the thing is, fairy You mentioned Pan's Labyrinth, | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
which has moments that But I thought this was very | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
impressive and very moving, and, I have to say, I was not | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
the only person to leave the cinema Animation once again, | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
this is a documentary about a young man, who was trying to reconnect | :26:24. | :26:32. | |
through the world, he was suffering from autism and trying to reconnect | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
with the word through his love The documentary is about the way | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
in which Disney cartoons provided a connection with him | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
and everyone around him, and it's uplifting, | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
there are a fantastic animated sequences in A Monster Calls, | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
and also in Life Animated. Between them, these films both seem | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
to suggest that animated movies are a really interesting way | :26:54. | :26:56. | |
of understanding the problems I thought Life Animated was just | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
terrific, I mean really beautifully done, really sensitively done, | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
done with real intimacy and real intelligence, and such | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
an uplifting story, and again, you know, a really positive story | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
about the positive power of movies And your DVD of the week | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
is David Brent, I was slightly Well, the genius of Fawlty Towers, | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
let's put it this way, is they knew what they were doing | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
and they did it over a short period 12 or 13, whatever, | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
but it was limited. And the David Brent franchise, | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
I thought, was brilliant, and then I started | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
not to think that. I thought the same thing going in, | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
"Do we really want to go back And the triumph of | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
the movie is you do. It catches up with him later on, | :27:47. | :27:49. | |
in which he's taking time off from work to go on the road | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
with his terrible band, and just like the source material, | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
it's toe-curling, painful, but it also has a lot of pathos, | :27:57. | :27:58. | |
and there are moments when you don't know | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
whether to laugh or hide your head And, believe me, I was really | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
surprised that, after all these years, it managed to do that, | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
move the story on and it actually managed to make the jokes | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
still funny but painful and to make I suppose the thing | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
that is so attractive about that character is that | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
he really does try.. Somehow, he just wants | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
to escape this awful life, In the case of this, | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
he actually does get out on the road, and the spectacle | :28:28. | :28:33. | |
of him playing half-empty A quick reminder before we go, | :28:34. | :28:35. | |

Bye-bye. Hello, this is Breakfast | :28:54. | :30:20. | |
with Ben Thompson and Sian Lloyd. Coming up before seven, | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
Jay will have your full weather But first, a summary of this | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
morning's main news. All holders of public office | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
will have to swear an oath of allegiance to British values | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
in an attempt to tackle extremism. The Communities Secretary, | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
Sajid Javid, says people can't play a positive role in public life | :30:39. | :30:40. | |
unless they accept basic values like democracy, equality | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
and freedom of speech. The proposal follows a recent report | :30:44. | :30:45. | |
that warns of growing ethnic The UN Security Council is to vote | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
today on whether to send observers to the Syrian city of Aleppo, | :30:49. | :30:55. | |
where thousands of civilians Reports from Syria claim | :30:56. | :30:57. | |
an agreement has almost been reached One charity has told the BBC this | :30:58. | :31:11. | |
morning that a deal has been reached to start the evacuation of East | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
Aleppo. The process collapsed on Friday leaving many in dangerous and | :31:17. | :31:18. | |
freezing conditions. The former Ukip leader Nigel Farage | :31:19. | :31:20. | |
has said he wants to be a "bridge" between Britain and the incoming | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
Trump administration But Mr Farage told Radio 4's | :31:25. | :31:26. | |
Broadcasting House that Downing Street didn't | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
want to acknowledge him and claimed Cabinet ministers had been banned | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
from talking to him. I just think, if you wanted to get | :31:33. | :31:42. | |
business from the biggest company in the world and there was someone | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
there who had the contacts and connections, the first thing you | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
would do is employ that person because that is how the world works. | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
I find the fact that Downing Street and want to acknowledge me and have | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
banned cabinet ministers from even talking to me, it shows you the sort | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
of very small-minded petty tribal level that British politics is out. | :32:06. | :32:06. | |
It is a shame. China is set to return an American | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
underwater drone that its navy The US craft was captured | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
in international waters on Thursday. The Pentagon said the drone | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
was being used to carry out scientific research | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
when it was taken. The US President-elect, | :32:20. | :32:23. | |
Donald Trump took to social media in protest - accusing the Chinese | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
of stealing and writing that the US should tell China that | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
they don't want it back. Prince Harry has revealed he no | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
longer struggles with his royal role, and says he feels the need | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
to "make something" of his life. Speaking in an ITV documentary | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
about his charity work in Lesotho at a young age made him | :32:40. | :32:42. | |
question his position, but that he now views life | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
"very, very differently". If you didn't catch Strictly | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
last night and don't Our own Ore Oduba and his partner | :32:51. | :32:52. | |
Joanne Clifton took home the Glitterball trophy in last | :32:53. | :33:02. | |
night's Strictly Come Dancing final - beating fellow competitors | :33:03. | :33:10. | |
Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp. 15 contestants had started | :33:11. | :33:13. | |
the competition, with Ore calling his eventual victory | :33:14. | :33:15. | |
"the most incredible experience Last night also marked Len Goodman's | :33:16. | :33:19. | |
last appearance as a judge. It really was an emotional ending | :33:20. | :33:32. | |
all in all. An end of an era. And now the big question is who will | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
replace Len. A lot of speculation, no confirmation as yet. | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
A rare Asian elephant calf has been born at Chester Zoo. | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
The baby, who is yet to be named, was born to 12-year-old mother | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
She's the 19th elephant to be born at the zoo in its 85-year history. | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
Keepers say both mother and daughter were doing well. | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
Asian elephants are officially listed as endangered, | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
and calves are born into captivity in the UK only once or twice a year. | :33:58. | :34:15. | |
We're now have the sports. A busy weekend of sport again? It is. We | :34:16. | :34:23. | |
will start with football. Chelsea, not too long ago it looked like a | :34:24. | :34:28. | |
real battle of the top. All of a sudden a nine points clear at the | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
top. 11 wins in a row and they are looking strong, looking like the | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
team to be in every time they have been top of the Premier League at | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
Christmas they have gone on to win the title. | :34:42. | :34:41. | |
They'll be top again this year because of the lead they've built up | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
thanks to that win at Crystal Palace yesterday. | :34:46. | :34:47. | |
With new of that and the rest of yesterday's action, | :34:48. | :34:50. | |
There is always something special about being number one at Christmas. | :34:51. | :34:57. | |
Having found a real dump it is Chelsea who have won the race for | :34:58. | :35:01. | |
top spot this year. A goal from their front man enough to see off | :35:02. | :35:06. | |
Crystal Palace. I am happy for my players in the way they fight in | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
every game. It is fantastic. I think we can improve. Also I am pleased | :35:12. | :35:21. | |
for the fans. Chelsea on top going into the festive period. It is now | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
for everyone else to work out how to deal with the post- Christmas blues. | :35:26. | :35:28. | |
One year to the day since he was sacked by Chelsea there is a sense | :35:29. | :35:35. | |
of optimism are merging for Mourinho. His side had victory over | :35:36. | :35:44. | |
West Brom. Leicester City, well, they must have felt as if all their | :35:45. | :35:50. | |
Christmases came at once last year. For the reigning champions, goodwill | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
is in short supply a list in the first half at Stoke. Vardy sent off | :35:55. | :36:00. | |
before going to kneel down. The manager incensed and still defying | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
the odds is what his side seems to do best, coming back to claim an | :36:05. | :36:09. | |
incredible draw. Proving there is always hope, especially at this time | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
of year. Middlesbrough now have a little more after their three mil | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
win but concerns deepening for Swansea. They stay off the bottom | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
thanks largely to this penalty decision that West Ham. Mark Noble's | :36:23. | :36:27. | |
goal enough to defeat a luckless halt city. Sunderland remain in the | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
bottom three despite a win. Patrick was the only goal against Walls | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
said. Celebrations, but still plenty of concern. | :36:38. | :36:39. | |
There are three more games today with Bournemouth hosting Southampton | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
Tottenham take on Burnley at White Hart Lane at four, | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
and at the same time there's a big match at the Etihad Stadium | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
where both Manchester City and Arsenal will be hoping to make | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
We played many times so when I was in Brussels I knew. We met each | :36:53. | :37:10. | |
other quite well. Of course when we play we have quality. They are good, | :37:11. | :37:19. | |
good players. Fast players, they can defend well. They use | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
a strong attack and they are a good team. The game is to defend well | :37:25. | :37:35. | |
together and not be fatigued everytime you get the ball and have | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
a go and try to attack because that is part of our philosophy and that | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
is what you have to do. You are not to forget as well that this is a | :37:45. | :37:50. | |
team who are very strong going forward. Maybe more now so we have | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
Maybe more now so we have to focus to defend well. | :37:55. | :38:01. | |
Celtic have restored their 11 point lead at the top | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
of the Scottish Premiership after beating Dundee 2-1. | :38:05. | :38:06. | |
Ross County beat third placed Aberdeen by the same scoreline | :38:07. | :38:08. | |
Bottom place Partick Thistle gained a vital point at Hearts. | :38:09. | :38:11. | |
The hosts were the better side in a dour first-half and took | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
through Sean Welsh just after half time. | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
The games at Kilmarnock and St Johnstone were also draws. | :38:20. | :38:25. | |
It's day three of the final test between India and England | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
It's been a bit of a struggle for the tourists. | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
India resumed on 66 without loss in reply to England's 477. | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
Rahul and Parthiv set about surpassing that total, | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
both passing 50 with little challenge from England's bowlers. | :38:41. | :38:42. | |
It's going to be a long hard day in the field for England | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
Pathiv was eventually dismissed for 71 and at lunch India have moved | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
To rugby union and it was a busy day of European Champions Cup action | :38:51. | :38:57. | |
yesterday with Lester snatching a late 18-16 win | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
Owen Williams kicked a long-range penalty in the dying moments | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
after a converted try had put Munster ahead. | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
Last weekend Lester were thrashed 38-0 by to Munster, but this result | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
keeps their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive. | :39:14. | :39:19. | |
Wasps were unbeaten in Europe this season, but that ended in dramatic | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
Wasps had led 18-13 until Naulia Dawai slid in. | :39:23. | :39:25. | |
And Jack Carty had the tricky conversion to win it - | :39:26. | :39:29. | |
and hit it straight through the middle. | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
20-18 to Connacht the final score, and look what it meant | :39:33. | :39:35. | |
There were also wins for Leinster and Exeter. In snooker, John Higgins | :39:36. | :39:52. | |
will be in the final of the Scottish open. He staged a remarkable | :39:53. | :39:55. | |
comeback against the world number four. He was 5-1 down at one stage | :39:56. | :40:02. | |
was a break of 110 and the seventh said on course to won full -- a | :40:03. | :40:11. | |
break of 110 in the seventh set him on course to win. The Dutchman had | :40:12. | :40:21. | |
few problems overcoming his Finnish competitor 3-0. And in the last hour | :40:22. | :40:27. | |
was come 51-year-old Bernard Hopkins lost his final fight. He was knocked | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
out of the ring to end the fight. His opponent put him through the | :40:34. | :40:38. | |
ropes. Hopkins ended up on his back in the eighth round. A remarkable | :40:39. | :40:49. | |
end to his 28 year boxing career. He has been amazing. He has won titles | :40:50. | :40:56. | |
in heavyweight and -- middleweight and light heavyweight. An end to a | :40:57. | :41:07. | |
remarkable career. And speaking of incredible sports, stay here because | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
we will talk about sports personalities of the year. What a | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
year it has been for sport. This year there are 16 on the list. | :41:15. | :41:21. | |
Normally we have ten. But because it has been an amazing year, 16. | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
Birmingham tonight is poor. Let us have a look at the nominees. | :41:28. | :41:37. | |
Nicola Adams lets out a triumphant roar. | :41:38. | :41:49. | |
It will be a glorious golden double four Alistair Brownlie. The Olympic | :41:50. | :41:58. | |
triathlon champion for the second time. | :41:59. | :42:08. | |
She won gold in the velodrome and gold now on the track. Mo Farah wins | :42:09. | :42:23. | |
the gold. Laura Trott is Britain's most successful female Olympian of | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
all time. A record fourth gold medal. Up towards the line. Jason | :42:27. | :42:35. | |
Kenny has got hit! What a ride! A golden hat-trick in Rio for Jason | :42:36. | :42:43. | |
Kenny. He is there. Wimbledon champion again as if the French | :42:44. | :42:49. | |
performance but is Murray's time in the sunshine of centre court again. | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
An absolute streak he has taken gold. He is obliterated the world | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
record. Great Britain have won the Olympic gold medal for hockey. | :43:01. | :43:02. | |
History makers. Taking the gold for Great Britain. | :43:03. | :43:16. | |
And you wonder whether dreams come true but they have today. A superb | :43:17. | :43:22. | |
ride from Sarah Storey and that is 12 gold medals now in Paralympic | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
sport. Nobody has done more than him. Leicester City other Premier | :43:27. | :43:34. | |
League champions. He has done everything he can. Max Whitlock, | :43:35. | :43:40. | |
double Olympic champion. A huge smile across the face because at | :43:41. | :43:48. | |
five under par, what a performance. The Masters champion in 2016. It is | :43:49. | :43:56. | |
such a strong field and I don't know how they will choose but there are | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
other awards up for grabs as well? On a list of 16 you can make a case | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
for all of them, you really good. Paralympian, Olympians, people from | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
all different sports. And there are other awards. Team of the year. The | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
Rugby union team who've been unbeaten all year, Paralympics GB, | :44:17. | :44:25. | |
Team GB. We also have two football teams, Wales who got to the | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
semifinals in Euro city and Leicester City. Of course. They went | :44:29. | :44:35. | |
on to win a Premier League title. Overseas are the coach of the year | :44:36. | :44:39. | |
as well. And a quick word on the ceremony itself. It is a big event. | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
It began in 1950 four. It is a big event. It has become a glossy and | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
amazing event. It really is unmissable, it really is. We will | :44:51. | :44:57. | |
talk more about it later. Sally will be at the ceremony tonight and on | :44:58. | :45:01. | |
the sofa tomorrow morning bringing back all the backstage gossip for | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
us. She may be a little sleepy in the morning but we have that average | :45:06. | :45:08. | |
here. Then with that scene because as the Sports Personality of the | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
Year awards take place, to mark the occasion thousands of pieces of | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
sporting memorabilia have been donated. | :45:21. | :45:27. | |
Christmas has come early for thousands of youngsters across | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
Birmingham helping themselves to a treasure trove of equipment and | :45:33. | :45:43. | |
clothing. I have been tried up all week about it... -- choked up. It | :45:44. | :45:51. | |
makes a massive difference to the school. The kit we have at the | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
school, we just about get by. The kids having this kit will be so | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
proud. It has been amazing. It is like Christmas early. It will make | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
an amazing difference. Having this kit will make us better because we | :46:06. | :46:11. | |
have the actual kids. It started in October when 50 collection cages | :46:12. | :46:15. | |
were set up around Birmingham. This idiot was chosen because it is | :46:16. | :46:20. | |
hosting the Sports Personality of the Year ceremony. An appeal went | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
out to get people to fill big cage with their unwonted sports items. | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
The response was overwhelming. Some of the stuff is outstanding. We | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
could do four or five Olympics with all of this but at the same time. We | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
have iceskating. Hockey sticks galore. Tennis balls. Tennis racket. | :46:38. | :46:45. | |
Badminton rackets. It is absolutely amazing. Donated items also included | :46:46. | :46:52. | |
Dame Kelly Holmes' trainers, and some of the kit we used in BBC | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
Breakfast sport features. We have a pair of goggles in the snorkelling | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
piece I did in rows. I have cleaned them. Not just any old Frisbee, this | :47:02. | :47:08. | |
is an old Frisbee used in the World Championships of freestyle -- Wales. | :47:09. | :47:13. | |
The Reclaim sport project has been run by BBC in partnership with the | :47:14. | :47:16. | |
local council and sport Birmingham. With a bit gold-medallists helping | :47:17. | :47:23. | |
to sister it. Dirty socks. So important. I got my first stick for | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
my coach. I clung onto it. Literally just playing the whole time. My | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
parents hated it. I would be smashing the bedroom was. Some | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
people don't have that kind of opportunity and that privilege to | :47:40. | :47:43. | |
get given a stick. We know how children grow out of things so | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
quickly. Why can't we just collect them and give them to others that | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
need them? More than 80 schools and community sports clubs across | :47:54. | :47:56. | |
Birmingham are now getting the donations. And some even got their | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
hands on the coveted sports personality Trophy. Not that they | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
get to keep this bit of equipment. Fantastic. Time for the weather. We | :48:06. | :48:14. | |
were talking earlier about mist and fog, but there is a technical | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
definition that defines one of the other. | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
It is all about how far you can see. Once it goes beyond 200 metres, you | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
have fog. That is across the southern half this morning. Dense | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
fog patches at the moment. Like yesterday, slow on the roads and a | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
could be further cancellations and delays at some of the airport. The | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
fog dent in places, and it will linger into the afternoon for some. | :48:41. | :48:46. | |
Nine o'clock in the morning, still grey out there. South Wales and | :48:47. | :48:49. | |
southern counties of England, really poor visibility. Take care on the | :48:50. | :48:59. | |
roads. Further north, visibility is improved but a lot of cloud. Some | :49:00. | :49:02. | |
rain around this morning, but becoming light and patchy. We may | :49:03. | :49:05. | |
keep the rain into the afternoon across the western side of Scotland. | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
The east is doing well, and drank the Moray Firth, and breeze going | :49:10. | :49:12. | |
over the Grampians. It will warm up the temperatures of around 14 or 15. | :49:13. | :49:18. | |
Quite a warm afternoon. Elsewhere, pretty much in single figures with a | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
fair bit of cloud. Not much rain to speak of. Staying pretty grey across | :49:23. | :49:27. | |
the southern half of the UK, and great north. Into the evening, fog | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
will thicken across southern counties of England, south Wales | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
once again. Further north, visibility better, but we will see | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
rain creeping into the west of Scotland and maybe Northern Ireland | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
as well with a freshening breeze. By the end of the night, generally in | :49:43. | :49:48. | |
single figures. Five, six or seven degrees. Lowered the night in rural | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
spots. A grey start again across the southernmost counties. Fog will be | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
dent in places again. Lifting into low cloud. A grey afternoon. Dry | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
weather on Monday but a bit a bit of rain creeping into the eastern side | :50:03. | :50:05. | |
of England, and rain towards the west. Largely dry if other clouding. | :50:06. | :50:09. | |
Most places in single figures for Monday afternoon. Towards the rest | :50:10. | :50:14. | |
of this week, essentially a guy started the week. Tuesday into | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
Wednesday, wetter and windy weather developing. -- eight dry start. It | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
will stay windy and unsettled towards the end of the week. Thank | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
you. And thank you for clearing that up, mist of fog. Excuse the pun, | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
clearing that up. LAUGHTER | :50:34. | :50:38. | |
They say you know you're getting older when police officers | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
A 1000-strong force of "mini-cops" aged | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
sees the tiny uniformed volunteers take part in big public events, | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
and even get involved with enforcement operations | :50:52. | :50:53. | |

children aged nine to 11. What is the main thing police do? Rescue and | :51:28. | :51:35. | |
help. Rescue and help. This is giving them an insight into all of | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
the roles the police force to. And I think it is changing children's | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
perceptions. I signed up because it gives you an opportunity to do stuff | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
that you don't normally do. I wanted to be helpful to people and I wanted | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
to be kind, because I don't really speak that much because I'm shy. | :51:53. | :51:58. | |
Have you become less shy? Less. The main aim behind the mini police is | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
not so much law enforcement and more limited engagement -- yes. Begin the | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
process early and it is hoped the benefits could be profound. | :52:09. | :52:14. | |

up the project. First initial contact between the police and | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
children, often it is negative. What we are doing with the programme is | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
trying to have that first contact being positive, and that will stay | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
with them into adult. We would like to see that all forces in England | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
and Wales and Scotland, we take on the project, because it is important | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
that as a police force we engage with our next generation. We get | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
lots of different information about how the police force works. They are | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
learning to respect what the police force to. I don't did they realise | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
how much goes on behind the scenes. I like how it can give people | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
support and help people out. Merseyside police have set up a | :53:05. | :53:07. | |
similar scheme. Other forces say they are interested in doing the | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
same. When it comes to community policing, Durham Constabulary leaves | :53:12. | :53:15. | |

there. They are. All of that coinciding because next week we are | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
running a series of special reports here on BBC Breakfast looking at | :53:28. | :53:29. | |
police Britain. We'll look at the challenges | :53:30. | :53:31. | |
officers face, and discuss issues including | :53:32. | :53:33. | |
historical abuse and what drives our The series starts tomorrow, | :53:34. | :53:35. | |

from a custody suite where police detain people they've | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
recently arrested. Stay tuned to that over the course | :53:42. | :53:44. | |

detail in a moment, but first let's remind ourselves | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
of some of the series highlights. It just felt like a dream. I am | :54:05. | :54:25. | |
loving the red carpet. We were just going to pull it off. | :54:26. | :54:34. | |

We're joined on the sofa by Strictly super fan Lisa Lewis, | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
and the TV critic Emma Bullimore is in our London studio. | :55:08. | :55:14. | |
We can talk over the whole series. First of all, what was your | :55:15. | :55:21. | |
highlight? The final was spectacular. It was brilliant. I was | :55:22. | :55:27. | |
really impressed with it as well. Just the whole show, from the show | :55:28. | :55:33. | |
dances, the judges' choices, the couples picking their own dance, I | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
think they all chose breakdancers to show us again, which was great. The | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
whole flow of the show was great. It is a TV -based. 11.3 million people | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
watching the final last night according to make latest figures. It | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
was incredible. The atmosphere was absolutely electric. The highlight | :55:55. | :56:01. | |
was the show dance, and so often the series is won and lost on a show | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
dance. I think it was proof of that last night. After that, the crowd | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
went wild, and I'm sure everyone was picking up their phone to vote. We | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
talk about the journey, because it is either about the dancing or the | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
journey. With Ore Oduba, you got both. He was a farm in all -- | :56:20. | :56:26. | |
phenomenal dancer. No dance experience unlike Danny and the | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
ways. Lang Goodman said that is the spirit of Strictly. That is what | :56:31. | :56:36. | |
people like to see -- Len Goodman. That was singing in the rain. You | :56:37. | :56:40. | |
have been following it all as a super fan. What was the highlight | :56:41. | :56:44. | |
for you over all? Overspeed the final last night was a spectacular, | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
but when you look back at the series, they have been some | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
surprises. They really have. We probably have to mention Ed Balls. | :56:55. | :57:01. | |
To me, that was a surprise. We do the in the beginning were talking | :57:02. | :57:05. | |
about Ed Balls and going, he will be in for a couple of weeks and then | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
out. He was in for a while. He went on the stick the journey, and he | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
really improved -- Strictly. We can see his dancing getting better. That | :57:17. | :57:21. | |
is what it is about, taking someone who can't dance, who has never | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
danced before, and teaching them a new school. Ore Oduba may be pitted | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
up a little better than Ed Balls, but it has been a truly great season | :57:31. | :57:36. | |
-- may be picked it up. I loved it from start to finish. Ed Balls | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
embraced the questions as well. That is something you are interested in. | :57:41. | :57:46. | |
Very much so. When we spoke to him in week one and he was dressed in a | :57:47. | :57:51. | |
suit for the wilds and it was very parliamentary and what we expected, | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
we thought after a couple of weeks he will be gone -- wants. There we | :57:55. | :57:58. | |
saw him would be grim face and the yellow suit. I thought it was great, | :57:59. | :58:03. | |
bring it on -- green face. When we look at who was in the final, lots | :58:04. | :58:08. | |
of trials and tribulations. Were the right people in the final? I think | :58:09. | :58:15. | |
so. I really like Danny Mac. I think he is the best dancer the show has | :58:16. | :58:19. | |
ever had. In a way it was a shame that cannot win. However, as he | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
said, it is about a journey, and Ore Oduba had more of a journey. It was | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
the correct three finalists. They brought so much to the show. Lots of | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
people talk about whether Ed Balls could have made before I know. It | :58:33. | :58:36. | |
would not have been right, but it was greatly contributed so much -- | :58:37. | :58:41. | |
the final. When we are looking at Louise in action, a stickler for the | :58:42. | :58:49. | |
Royals. He held them to account and is critical if they broke any rules. | :58:50. | :58:54. | |
What will his departure mean for the show, Len Goodman? -- rules. | :58:55. | :59:00. | |
Everybody loves him. They did a tribute and said what a gentleman he | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
is. They did a beautiful dance club him. We will miss him. -- just for | :59:05. | :59:10. | |
him. There will definitely be a whole. We will be thinking about him | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
in many more series to come. Are you looking forward to the next series? | :59:16. | :59:19. | |
Of course. Very much so. Who would you like to see in it? We have done | :59:20. | :59:25. | |
it on our podcast. We would love to see Anna McKendrick. We would love | :59:26. | :59:30. | |
to see and have a way. We are going big Hollywood stars -- and Hadaway. | :59:31. | :59:38. | |

Crystal Palace puts them nine points BBC sport presenter and occasional | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
resident of this sofa - Ore Oduba - takes | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
the Strictly crown. Some dense fog patches in the | :01:45. | :01:59. | |
southern half of the UK. That could linger well on into the afternoon. | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
Better visibility north but more clout. Very little rain to speak of. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
All holders of public office will have to swear an oath | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
of allegiance to British values in an attempt to tackle extremism. | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
The Communities Secretary, Sajid Javid, says people can't play | :02:20. | :02:21. | |
a positive role in public life unless they accept basic values | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
like democracy, equality and freedom of speech. | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
The proposal follows a recent report that warns of growing ethnic | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Our political correspondent Mark Lobel is in our | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Mark, Why is the Communities Secretary doing this? | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
Principally, the community sector wants to make sure that ethnic | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
minorities don't suffer from low wages and high unemployment. It is a | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
touching example of am writing into that today's Sunday Times who | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
couldn't speak English so he had to act as an interpreter. She can now. | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
It's not just about speaking English, he wants immigrants to | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
integrate and shared British values and thinks the oath is one way to | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
ensure that public bodies themselves will condone harmful religious | :03:10. | :03:10. | |
practices, too. And the former UKIP | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
leader, Nigel Farage, has said he still wants to be | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
a bridge between Britain and the incoming Trump | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
administration in the United States. Indeed. How many times do we see him | :03:18. | :03:28. | |
jetting off to Trump Tower is? I think three so far since Donald | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Trump has become President-elect. Now he wants to see bank to his buck | :03:33. | :03:40. | |
and this is what his told Radio 4. I just think, if you wanted to get | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
business from the biggest company in the world and there was someone | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
there who had the contacts and connections, the first year do is | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
employ that person because that's how the world works. I find the fact | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
that Downing Street don't want to acknowledge me, have banned a | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Cabinet ministers from even talking to me, it shows you the very | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
small-minded, petty, tribal level but reddish politics is that. It's a | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
shame. -- British. At a bigger Theresa May is going to budge from | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
that position but we are waiting from Downing Street to tell us. | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
Also, race hate crimes are going up since the vote on the 23rd of June | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
curse to leave the EU. Nigel Farage's response is that he himself | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
has been the subject of ten death rates in just the last two weeks. -- | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
death threat. You can hear the full | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
interview with Nigel Farage on Broadcasting House | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
on BBC Radio 4 today at 9am. The UN Security Council is expected | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
to vote today on a French proposal to send observers to the Syrian city | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
of Aleppo to monitor Reports from Syria suggest a deal | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
is near that would allow the thousands of civilians | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
and fighters from rebel-held parts A group of MPs says the government | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
must not use the introduction of new mayors across England next | :04:54. | :05:23. | |
year to shirk its responsibility to properly fund | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
public services. The Public Accounts Committee says | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
there needs to be more clarity about who is spending taxpayers' | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
money and where responsibility lies, but ministers say the new roles | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
will help communities take control Prince Harry has revealed he no | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
longer struggles with his royal role, and says he feels the need | :05:37. | :05:44. | |
to "make something" of his life. Speaking in an ITV documentary | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
about his charity work in Lesotho, the prince | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
said losing his mother at a young age made him | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
question his position, but that he now views life | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
"very, very differently". Prince Harry looks in his | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
element as he helps out in a centre teaching life skills | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
to people suffering from HIV. It is run by a charity | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
co-founded ten years They have helped over 21,000 people, | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
many of them teenagers. And Harry's clearly | :06:09. | :06:20. | |
passionate about his work. HIV/Aids is the number one killer | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
of adolescents across sub-Saharan Here you have a bunch of kids | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
who have no idea about HIV. They are not allowed | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
to talk about it. And now that we have the drugs | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
and pills to give, these kids are healthy, happy | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
long lived yet we're not educating them or empowering | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
them to make their own decisions. He first visited Africa in 1997, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
not long after the death Says he still feels | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
the connection to the continent. I think the first time that I went | :06:45. | :06:54. | |
to Africa I was tiny. I think I went to | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
a Spice Girl concert Not only do i have an escape I have | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
found a way to try and use my name and use my name and | :07:02. | :07:16. | |

with actress Meghan Markle has In the past he resented his position | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
and wanted to bury his head now, though, he is excited to be | :07:21. | :07:34. | |
able to use his profile to help both less fortunate. | :07:35. | :07:43. | |

Our own Ore Oduba and his partner Joanne Clifton took home | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
the glitterball trophy in last night's Strictly Come Dancing final | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
- beating fellow competitors Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp. | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
Last night also marked Len Goodman's last appearance | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
as a judge as our Entertainment correspondent Lizo Mzimba reports | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
The moment that for a Dubai was crowned, he was voted the winner | :08:22. | :08:30. | |
after a public vote during the evening's final. The BBC sport | :08:31. | :08:35. | |

most amazing incredible experience of my life. Della Macaffer is the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |

dancers. An American smooth. Showdowns. -- showdowns. | :09:05. | :09:13. | |
And a jive. The latter two routines were given perfect scores by the | :09:14. | :09:28. | |
judges. For many, a close runner-up was Ed Hall. The former Shadow | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Chancellor's lack of dance skills making the result of consistently | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
loaded scores. But he was kept in the contest week after week by votes | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
from the programme's US who entertained by his routines which | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
included a gang style dance. -- gang members | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
. It was also lend Goodman's last appearance in the series and he was | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
given a standing ovation in the studio. Len Goodman has led the | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
programme since 12 years ago. We'll be talking all things Strictly | :10:07. | :10:16. | |
throughout the programme - speaking to a Strictly | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
"superfan" just before seven, and to Joanne and Kevin Clifton's | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
parents just after eight. A photograph of the Queen | :10:22. | :10:27. | |

of the monarch's 90th birthday year. The previously unseen | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
picture, taken by fashion photographer Nick Knight, | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
shows mother and son in the White Drawing Room | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
at Windsor Castle before the final night of the Queen's | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
birthday celebrations Thousands of people are still | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
stranded in the Syrian city of Aleppo enduring | :10:43. | :10:56. | |
freezing temperatures - despite government assurances | :10:57. | :10:57. | |
they would be able to leave. At least 6,000 residents left | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
eastern Aleppo under a fragile truce on Thursday, | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
but the operation was halted The Red Cross says it's hopeful | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
an agreement is close that will mean the evacuation can | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
once again resume. Christine Latif from global aid | :11:10. | :11:10. | |
charity World Vision joins us now from Istanbul in | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
neighbouring Turkey. I know you are in constant contact | :11:14. | :11:30. | |
with your teams on the ground. Could you put us up-to-date with the | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
current situation? The situation inside Aleppo is chaotic. Our teams | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
are starting to receive the evacuees that are coming into Idlib from | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
Aleppo. The stories they are telling a completely horrific. It seems the | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
evacuation, even when it did work, was quite chaotic and there are a | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
horrible stories of children being squashed or pushed away from the | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
buses as they are trying to get loaded. People are so desperate to | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
get out of that city right now. And you speak about the situation from | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
the people from Aleppo. The biggest problem is the fighting and the | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
bombing but also the severe cold. That is causing huge problems for | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
people who are trying to leave. Absolutely, is causing problems both | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
as they are trying to leave but also those who have left. For those who | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
are trying to leave, we have the most horrible stories. People | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
getting cordoned into a smaller and smaller area as they try to escape | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
the fighting through this warren of underground buildings. They don't | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
necessarily have electricity and they are burning whatever they can | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
find a heating. We have heard from people who arrived at the shelters | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
that as they were waiting for the buses, sometimes five or more hours, | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
they got so-called they literally burnt the luggage that they have | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
been able to bring with them. It is so heartbreaking. Once they've | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
reached the centres, some people are lucky enough to have family in the | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
area and are taken in by their family. For others, they are being | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
kept in these huge hangar is because it is literally the only space | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
available for all of the people that we are hoping to be able to help. It | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
is down to four degrees or even lower around Aleppo in the moment. | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
It is simply just, we can't do enough to keep them warm. We also | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
saw the evacuations were halted on Friday. Is there any suggestion that | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
that evacuation and that process can now resume, that it is safe? | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
Unfortunately, we have had two times where the evacuations were ceased. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
People were left on the street in great danger. In both cases, firing | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
and the dropping of bombs started very quickly and we do think people | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
were injured as they were waiting to the buses that never came. We do | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
however have hoped that today, and heard yesterday that evacuations | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
would commence and that -- again. And we hope it is going to hold for | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
long enough to get the remaining civilians out of Aleppo. We had a | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
bad at being a solution to this problem, the evacuation. But there | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
is a lot of suggestion that the people that you waiting Aleppo and | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
is being moved to cities that are facing very, very similar problems | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
themselves. Absolutely. The evacuations out of Aleppo are not a | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
solution. They are short-term solution Band-Aid. We are starting | :14:19. | :14:26. | |
to worry that we are cordoning people into a smaller and smaller | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
area. The only solution for Syria is for a long-term peaceful solution to | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
be reached where families can move back to Syria and rebuild their | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
lives. People we evacuated out of Aleppo are very clear to us, they | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
want to go home. They don't want to stay in a temperate shelter, they | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
don't want to stay with family members, even those we work with in | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Turkey do not want to stay here, they want to go home. We need to be | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
able to make that happen. We are also hearing that the UN security | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
council will decide later whether to send monitors into Aleppo to keep an | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
eye on the evacuation process. What difference would that make it indeed | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
it does go ahead? It would be amazing to have monitors on the | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
ground. We did here before the official ceasefire and evacuations | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
took place that people were trying to escape through other routes out | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
of eastern Aleppo and there were all sorts of rumours to things happening | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
to them. Detentions, the men of the correct age being taken off and | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
forced into the army, women being raped, children and women being | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
taken out of their homes or even killed inside their homes. Because | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
the communication from Aleppo is so spotty, it would be amazing to have | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
a reliable group of people inside the city who were there to monitor | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
the situation and ensure that things don't happen like this. Thank you | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
for the update. You're watching | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. The Communities Secretary, | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
Sajid Javid, has called for all holders of public office | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
to swear an oath to British values Nigel Farage says he wants to be | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
a "bridge" between Britain and the incoming US Trump | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
administration, but claims Cabinet ministers have been banned | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
from talking to him. And now look at this morning's | :16:10. | :16:27. | |
weather. Hello again. It is still foggy and misty. It may linger into | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
the afternoon for some places. It is especially dense across the southern | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
half of England and south Wales. Like yesterday, slow on the roads, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
and there could be delays at airports. Bear that in mind if you | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
have travel plans. That could linger into the afternoon. Patchy rain | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
further north this morning. That will be a dying breed. The fog is | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
dense and could linger into the afternoon for some places. That will | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
keep it cold. The winds are light and it is essentially dry across the | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
southern half of the UK. Patchy rain to this morning across northern | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
parts of England into central Scotland. A lot will fade in the | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
next couple of hours. Rain going in the western side of Scotland. It | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
will be patchy to the afternoon. A south-westerly breeze up and over | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
the Grampian is warming up. Decent temperatures around the Moray Firth. | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Around 14 or 15 degrees in a few places. Typically, nine or 10 | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
degrees for Aberdeen and Glasgow. Double figures in the south if you | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
are lucky. Most places will be 7-9. Chilly as the fog lingers. If the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
fog is with you into the afternoon, it will thicken to the evening. It | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
will be dense again towards the small hours of Monday morning. Bear | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
that in mind for Monday morning. Intense fog patches across the south | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
of the UK. Further north, dry weather and you get to the west of | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
Scotland where there will be wet and windy weather getting into Northern | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
Ireland. A chilly start with single figures across the board. Rain in | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
the north-west. Windy, but the rain becomes patchy. In between, a vote | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
of dry but rather cloudy weather. Not overly one. Single figures for | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
most places. The winds are light. -- warm. Things will change to this | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
coming week. It starts on a pretty reasonable note with dry weather. On | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Tuesday into Wednesday, we started developed wet weather. It will turn | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
windy as well. The wind and rain will be a key feature as we head | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
towards the latter part of the coming week. Back to you. Thank you | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
very much. More than 200 million women around | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
the world are victims of female genital mutilation, according | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
to the World Health Organisation. Now officers who specialise | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
in fighting FGM are spending the run up to Christmas | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
trying to stop young girls from being taken abroad and forced | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
to undergo the practice Our Home Affairs correspondent | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
June Kelly reports. Heathrow Airport, and families have | :18:53. | :19:08. | |
already started heading off for Christmas. Sergeant Natalie of the | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
Met Police is briefing colleagues, officers from the Border Force, and | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
charity workers. We need to make sure we are engaging with passengers | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
and trying to identify if any offences have taken place. This team | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
are on the lookout for young girls who are being taken to countries, | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
often in Africa and the Middle East, where female genital manipulation is | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
practice. Are you able to quickly tell me roughly how many people are | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
on board the flight today, please? -- mutilation. Families know they | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
can use the Christmas holidays to take a child abroad to undergo FGM. | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
Thinking bit during the school break, she will have time to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
recover. Police say a goal can be told it is part of the Christmas | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
celebrations, and being a woman -- girl. But a campaigner who works at | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
the airport team says the humanities have to learn that FGM is child | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
abuse. She was cut as a six-year-old in Somalia. You are going through | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
emotional and psychological things. You are physically in pain | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
constantly, but nobody ever sits down and says, let's talk about what | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
happened. That never happens. It is done, that is it. You have to move | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
on after that. The team are concerned about one youngster who | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
has been taken out of school before the official end of term. A phone | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
call to be school confirms her mother's story as to why they are | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
travelling. They are finally allowed to board. This is our last | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
opportunity to engage with families before they fly to countries where | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
FGM and other harmful practices might be conducted in the school | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
holiday period. We are speaking to people to see what they know about | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
it. A big part of this exercise is trying to raise awareness of FGM. I | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
don't big it should be practised on any little girl, never ever. I am so | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
happy to see them around, making a campaign like this -- think. The | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
airport team will be back at Heathrow in the coming week, trying | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
to spot young girls who could be vulnerable, and to stop them from | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
travelling and suffering this Christmas. | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Time now for a look at the newspapers. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Robert Meakin is here to tell us what's caught this eye. | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Lots to get through. Some really nice choices. | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
The Sunday Times - loyalty oath for all public office holders. | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
That is our top story today. This is the suggestion that in order to | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
combat extremism, Savage avid says it is not possible for people to | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
play a positive role in public life unless they accept basic values | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
including democracy, equality and freedom of speech. -- Sajid Javeed. | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
The Sunday Telegraph - pressure on May as unions run | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
The Observer - union boss under attack for acting | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
It says Jeremy Corbyn's most powerful union ally is coming under | :22:30. | :22:45. | |
ferocious attack funnymen seeking to end his six-year reign in charge of | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
Britain's biggest union, Unite. The Mail on Sunday - | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
the Great Foreign Aid Freeze. Taxpayer funded deals with millions | :22:53. | :23:04. | |
of pounds have been frozen after ministers ordered a wide-ranging | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
probe into what it calls poverty barons who have been profiting from | :23:08. | :23:09. | |
the business. Sunday Express - Brexit fuels | :23:10. | :23:10. | |
festive shopping bonanza. You have to read inside to work out | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
how they have come up with that. Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
year so buyers have been given an extra Saturday of spending on | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
Christmas Eve. Not quite sure why but it means we get an extra date | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
for Christmas shopping, but that is different story on the Sunday | :23:32. | :23:32. | |
Express. -- headline story. Robert Meakin, what | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
have you picked out? There is this new documentary about | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
Prince Harry, and he says he is more at ease now with his role in public | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
life. Whether you are loyalist or not, there is no doubt it is an | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
unusual and weird existence to give as a prince under the microscope. He | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
is frank about it. He struggled as a younger men, as a kid. The second | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
stances with his mother. It took him a long time to find his role in his | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
identity. He went into the armed forces. He said he is now in the | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
right groove with the job until he understands his role. Also not been | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
the air to the throne but the younger brother, it is tricky | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
territory. The playboy prince, all of that stuff. I think now he does | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
come across as a guy who is pretty much at ease with himself and to be | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
public spotlight, as much as you can be. We are talking about us. Michael | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
Sheen, the actor, in the Observer today, it says he is looking to | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
scale down acting for the time being and change his plans for the future | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
to focus on political activism. It would be a remarkable twist if this | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
is true. He is one of our most acclaimed current actors. He has | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
cracked Hollywood. Ironically we are talking about politics, and he is | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
famous for playing Tony Blair three times on screen. Now he says he is | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
going to give that up to relocate to his own native Port Talbot in Wales | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
as a political activist. In the Observer, they say it is easy to be | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
cynical about actors being involved in politics. Celebrities do get a | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
bad press getting involved in politics. Donald Trump with all of | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
the celebrities rating against him. It did not do any good. All of the | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
celebrities use supported the Labour Party -- who supported. It doesn't | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
yet true with the voters. I suppose there is one thing of the | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
celebrities getting involved from the sidelines and saying, I think | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
you should support this and do this, but to put your money where your | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
mouth is and go out and be an activist... He is involved a lot | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
into mini to grips. In while he has spoken out a lot about homelessness | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
-- in community groups. Not a huge leap for what he has been doing on a | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
small scale. The men who played Tony Blair might be a future Labour | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
leader. Anything is possible these days. You are absolutely right. I | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
love this story, Christmas karaoke. Jeremy Corbyn's Christmas karaoke | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
meltdown. Jeremy Corbyn stormed out of a party because MPs were | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
chanting, we want Tony. Explain that. We should take it with a pinch | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
of salt, probably. It is kind of symbolic of another eventful year in | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
the Labour Party where even a karaoke Christmas party could not | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
quite go all that smoothly without a bit of a fallout. It is suggested | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
some Labour MPs possibly having indulged in the festive spirit | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
started saying things could only get better, famous for being the Tony | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
Blair in them. And back in the USSR is another number that may have led | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
to Jeremy Corbyn making a hasty exit. But we know it has been such | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
an eventful year for the Labour leader to put it politely. But he is | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
still standing. People wrote him off a long time but he is still there. | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
Unfortunately a lot of his Labour colleagues do not want in there. I | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
would love to see the quality of the singing in a karaoke session. Len | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Goodman living Strictly. It has been emotional. Lots of people talking | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
about it on social media -- living. And people saying he will want to be | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
back. Don't believe it, you will get bored and fidgety really quickly. It | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
is hard to imagine the show without him. It was hard to imagine the show | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
without Bruce Forsyth and it has gone on and done really well. It | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
will be interesting to see who fills those considerable shoes. The | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
bookies are talking about a few names. But it is a big call. It is a | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
big cog in the Strictly machine. His head judge. You need to have a | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
certain amount of authority and technical knowledge. I don't think | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
Craig will want to do it because he enjoys his role as the pantomime | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
villain. I don't think Bruno would want it. I wonder if they will go | :28:07. | :28:13. | |
with Darcy. We watch. Nobody is telling us anything. When is it OK | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
to wear a Christmas jumper? Apparently not in the pub. There has | :28:18. | :28:22. | |
been a bit of a backlash. I admit something embarrassing involving a | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
few too many bottles. Why didn't you wear it this morning? -- baubles. I | :28:27. | :28:35. | |
should have one. Willie Christmas jumpers are now being blocked from | :28:36. | :28:40. | |
stag parties. -- Wallin. Bear in mind if we happened to go somewhere | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
in the next three days, maybe keep it indoors. Nice to see you. We will | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
talk again later. The Andrew Marr Programme is coming | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
up on BBC One later this morning. There has never been a political | :28:53. | :29:03. | |
deal like this one. Before we leave 2016, we will look at what an | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
extraordinary year it has been the typical part of that story, George | :29:08. | :29:12. | |
Osborne, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, sacked by Theresa | :29:13. | :29:15. | |
May, in his first property the interview since then. In the new | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
trade Secretary, Liam Fox, in charge of taking us into this bold New | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
World in the first interview since he was made trade Secretary. We have | :29:25. | :29:29. | |
much more. Peter Capaldi, the BBC choir and much more, but above all, | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
Liam Fox and George Osborne at nine o'clock. | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
This is breakfast. Coming up before eight o'clock, a full weather | :29:38. | :30:22. | |
forecast. It is misty and foggy out there, if you have ventured to the | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
curtains this morning. But first, a summary of the menus. All holders of | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
public office will have to swear an oath of allegiance to British values | :30:32. | :30:33. | |
in an attempt to tackle extremism. The Communities Secretary, | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
Sajid Javid, says people can't play a positive role in public life | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
unless they accept basic values like democracy, equality | :30:43. | :30:44. | |
and freedom of speech. The proposal follows a recent report | :30:45. | :30:46. | |
that warns of growing ethnic The UN Security Council is to vote | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
today on whether to send observers to the Syrian city of Aleppo, | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
where thousands of civilians One charity has told the BBC this | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
morning that a deal has been reached to restart | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
the evacuation of east Aleppo. The process collapsed on Friday, | :31:03. | :31:04. | |
leaving many stranded in freezing and dangerous conditions | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
near the front lines. The former UKIP leader Nigel Farage | :31:08. | :31:24. | |
has said he wants to be a bridge between Britain and the incoming | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
Trump administration But Mr Farage told Radio 4's | :31:28. | :31:29. | |
Broadcasting House that Downing Street didn't | :31:30. | :31:33. | |
want to acknowledge him and claimed Cabinet ministers had been banned | :31:34. | :31:35. | |
from talking to him. I just think, if you wanted to get | :31:36. | :31:48. | |
is this from the biggest company in the world and there was someone | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
there that have the contacts and connections, the first year do is | :31:52. | :32:00. | |
kind -- employ that person. The fact that Downing Street don't want to | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
talk to me, they have banned cabinet ministers from talking to me, it | :32:05. | :32:08. | |
shows you the small-minded, dirty, tribal level that British politics | :32:09. | :32:09. | |
is that and it's a shame. Prince Harry has revealed he no | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
longer struggles with his royal role, and says he feels the need | :32:13. | :32:15. | |
to "make something" of his life. Speaking in an ITV documentary | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
about his charity work in Lesotho, the prince | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
said losing his mother at a young age made him | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
question his position, but he now views life | :32:24. | :32:25. | |
very, very differently. If you didn't catch Strictly | :32:26. | :32:38. | |
last night and don't Our own Ore Oduba and his partner | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
Joanne Clifton took home the glitterball trophy in last | :32:41. | :32:45. | |
night's Strictly Come Dancing final - beating fellow competitors | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
Danny Mac and Louise Redknapp. 15 contestants had started | :32:49. | :32:50. | |
the competition, with Ore calling his eventual victory | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
"the most incredible experience Last night also marked Len Goodman's | :32:54. | :32:55. | |
last appearance as a judge. We are here with the sport now. You | :32:56. | :33:18. | |
don't want to see me dancing, I tell you. He did well. So did Chelsea. | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
Every time Chelsea have been top of the Premier League at Christmas | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
They'll be top again this year - and what a lead they've built up | :33:25. | :33:32. | |
thanks to that win at Crystal Palace yesterday. | :33:33. | :33:34. | |
With new of that and the rest of yesterdays action, | :33:35. | :33:37. | |
There is always something special about being number one at Christmas. | :33:38. | :33:55. | |
Having found the red, it is Chelsea who have found the spot next year -- | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
Maev Beaty. The goal from their front man enough to see off Crystal | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
Palace. Good from the players. The way they fight in every game. It's | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
fantastic. I think we can improve. And also, I am pleased for the fans. | :34:10. | :34:18. | |
Chelsea on top going into the festive period is now for everyone | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
else to work out how to deal with the post- Christmas blues. A year to | :34:23. | :34:31. | |
the day since he was sacked Chelsea, things are looking bright from Jose | :34:32. | :34:41. | |
Mourinho. Zlatan in -- in the approval | :34:42. | :34:44. | |
. For the reigning champions, at least in the first hard at Stoke, | :34:45. | :34:55. | |
Jamie Vardy sent off before going to kneel down. Manager Claudio Ranieri | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
incensed but still defying the odds is what his side seems to do best. | :35:01. | :35:07. | |
Proving there is always hope, especially this time of year. | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
Middlesbrough now is have a little more. They stay off the bottom | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
thanks largely to this penalty decision at West Ham. Mark Noble's | :35:19. | :35:25. | |
goal enough to defeat a luckless Hull City. Sunderland remain in the | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
bottom two. There was only one goal against Watford. Celebrations but | :35:33. | :35:35. | |
plenty of concern. Celtic have retained their position. | :35:36. | :35:55. | |
But placed, they took the lead through Bjorn Johnson. The games at | :35:56. | :36:05. | |
kill my neck and Johnson were also draws. | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
It's day three of the final test between India and England | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
It's been a bit of a struggle for the tourists. | :36:12. | :36:16. | |
India resumed on 66 without loss in reply to England's 477. | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
Rahul and Parthiv set about surpassing | :36:21. | :36:22. | |
that total, both passing 50 with little challenge | :36:23. | :36:24. | |
It's going to be a long hard day in the field for England | :36:25. | :36:28. | |
Parthiv was eventually dismissed for 71 with his replacement Pujara | :36:29. | :36:35. | |
going cheaply into the hands of Alastair Cook. | :36:36. | :36:37. | |
He swatted his way to a century and since lunch India have moved | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
on to 200-2 They've already won the series. | :36:43. | :36:44. | |
To rugby union and it was a busy day of European Champions Cup action | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
yesterday with Leicester snatching a late 18-16 win | :36:49. | :36:50. | |
Owen Williams kicked a long-range penalty in the dying | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
moments after a converted try had put Munster ahead. | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
Last weekend Leicester were thrashed 38-0 by to Munster, | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
but this result keeps their hopes of reaching | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
Wasps were unbeaten in Europe this season, but that ended in dramatic | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
Wasps had led 18-13 until Naulia Dawai slid in. | :37:06. | :37:09. | |
And Jack Carty had the tricky conversion to win it - | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
and hit it straight through the middle. | :37:13. | :37:14. | |
20-18 to Connacht the final score, and look what it meant | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
There were also wins for Leinster and Exeter. | :37:18. | :37:28. | |
Snooker, and John Higgins will face Marco Fu in the final | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
Higgins staged a remarkable comeback against world number four Judd | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
The Scot was 5-1 down at one stage but a break of 110 in the seventh | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
set him on course to win five frames in a row and seal a 6-5 victory. | :37:44. | :37:58. | |
And in the last hour, 51-year Bernard Hopkins have | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
lost his final fight, and he was knocked out of the ring | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
His opponent Joe Smith Junior put Hopkins through the ropes - | :38:04. | :38:07. | |
And Hopkins ended up on his back being helped by the crowd in eighth | :38:08. | :38:13. | |
He recovered and was given medical attention. | :38:14. | :38:15. | |
A remarkable end to his 28-year boxing career. | :38:16. | :38:18. |
