03/01/2017 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

A man is shot dead by police in an operation near the M62

West Yorkshire Police say the operation was pre-planned,

It is the fifth fatal police shooting in England and Wales

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is investigating.

Good morning, it is Tuesday 3 January Also this morning:

The average child is eating three cubes worth of sugar for breakfast,

British workers spend six times as much as employees across Europe

on rail fares, according to a new study.

Over ?1 billion has been set aside to build thousands of new homes

for first-time buyers, but will it really help those

struggling to get on the housing ladder?

In sport: Liverpool stay second in the Premier League,

despite only managing a draw at struggling Sunderland.

The Reds were ahead twice, but were twice pegged back,

Gary Barlow searches for wannabe stars to play him and his Take That

And Carol has the weather from London Zoo.

Good morning, Carol. Good morning. Happy New Year. I met London Zoo

because today it is the 200 annual stock take of the animals. -- 200.

It is nice and toasty inside the reptile house at outside it is

called, a bit of ice with some sunshine and rain in the north, and

here it is rather breezy. Take a look at this. Very cute. Lovely!

More of that later, and Carol as well.

First, our main story: A man has been shot dead by police

in an operation near the M62 motorway in Huddersfield yesterday

West Yorkshire Police say an officer's gun was discharged

and at least one person was arrested, but gave

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has sent investigators

It is the fifth fatal police shooting in England and Wales

Our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reports.

The shooting happened shortly after 6pm yesterday evening on a slip road

near Henley top at Huddersfield. West Yorkshire Police say the

incident took place during preplanned policing operation,

suggesting officers had acted on intelligence rather than responding

to an unexpected event. The force said a police firearm was discharged

and a man died. No one else is believed to have been injured. The

Independent Police Complaints Commission was informed, and has set

its own investigators to the scene, which has been cordoned off.

Photographs from the area appeared to indicate that a number of

unmarked police vehicles may have stopped a car on the slip road

before the shooting, though that hasn't been confirmed. Although

fatal police shootings are rare, it is the fifth such incident in

England and Wales in the last nine months, and the first involving West

Yorkshire Police since December 20 ten. -- 2010.

And the latest information about the motorway is the slip roads

east and westbound at Junction 24 of the M62 remain closed.

They are expected to stay closed until at least 10:00am this morning.

Children in England are eating half their recommended daily sugar

intake before they even get to school, that is the warning

Public Health England say sugary cereals, juices and spreads

are to blame and, at a time of spiralling obesity levels,

have launched a campaign to help parents better understand

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day...

Millions of children consume over half their daily sugar allowance

But a new campaign is aiming to curb that sugar rush.

Many parents will think their breakfast cereals are healthy,

that they're buying for their children,

and they're actually rather surprised when they find out how

There are better, low-sugar alternative breakfasts on the market

that we would be encouraging parents to have a look at.

Think about buying those for their children.

Public Health England has launched an app to scan a barcode,

and it will tell you how much sugar,

And the results - well, they may be surprising.

And that is the idea, to help parents make

The average child in England has the equivalent of three cubes

of sugar every morning for breakfast.

The recommended daily maximum amount for children aged four to six years

old is five cubes, and for seven to ten-year-olds, six cubes.

By the end of the day, the average child consumes three

times more than the daily recommended amount, up to 18

With one in five children now starting primary school overweight

or obese, perhaps now, more than ever, breakfast really

is the most important meal of the day.

Breakfast is something we talk about quite a lot here on reckless. --

Breakfast. Later we will speaking

to a GP about what makes Attempts to secure a peace deal

in Syria have been suspended, after rebel groups accused

government forces of Russia and Turkey, who brokered

the current ceasefire, are trying to convene

negotiations later this month. Meanwhile, Kurdish activists have

told the BBC that a British man has been killed in Syria,

fighting the Islamic State group. Ryan Lock, who was 20

and from West Sussex, died just before Christmas,

during the battle to try to retake 12 people have now been arrested

after the attack on a Turkish nightclub at New Year,

as the search for the gunman Yesterday, Turkish media reported

that special forces had raided a house in Turkey after a tip-off,

but the suspect was not found. So-called Islamic State have said

it was behind the attack. With us from Istanbul

is Selin Girit. Good morning to you. Can you update

us on the latest this morning. There have been raids conducted by the

Turkish Special Forces yesterday to several addresses in Istanbul, but

the government is still on the run, as you have said. More details are

emerging about his identity -- gunman. He is thought to be a man

from Central Asian country, though which country we don't know yet. It

is believed that the officials have confirmed his identity at the moment

but they are not revealing that information for the time being. He

travelled to Turkey in November last year, Turkish report suggests, with

his wife and two children, in order not to attract attention. And his

family is thought to be detained at the moment, according to reports

taking place in Turkish media. The Islamic State group has claimed

responsibility for the attack, and overnight 18 Islamic State militants

have been killed in strikes conducted by Turkish village in

Syria. British workers are spending up

to a seventh of their income on rail fares, according to a study

by the campaign group It says people in the UK spend six

times as much on tickets compared The study also found fares have

increased twice as much as wages Our reporter Leanne Brown

is at King's Cross Station Indeed, it is the Christmas present

that nobody asked for. Rail prices went up yesterday, with campaigners

calling it a kick in the teeth. The trade union backed Action For Rail

campaign says that some people are now spending 14% of their wages on

their commute. Just to give you an example, if you are coming from

Luton into London, that will cost you ?387 a month on a monthly pass.

If you compare that with the rest of Europe, places like Rome and Paris,

they pay around ?61 a month. They are calling it a rip-off, so their

reaction is to protest. They are holding protests up and down the

country at 100 different stations today, including here at King's

Cross, a little later on this morning. The government says it is

delivering the biggest modernisation programme of the century, but of

course, as you say, many people back at work today so for them it will

not seem very fair. Thank you very much.

Donald Trump has dismissed North Korea's latest claim

that it is developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear

In a New Year message, the North Korean leader,

Kim Jong-un, said preparations had reached the final stage.

However, on a brief message on Twitter, the US President-elect,

Thousands of new-starter homes have been given the go-ahead to be built

They will be exclusively for 23- to 40-years-olds, and will be at 20%

It is good news, isn't it? That is the crucial thing, available to

first home buyers between the ages of 23 and 40 and at 20% below the

average price for the market. The hope is to help first home buyers

who are struggling to get on the quality housing ladder, they can't

get a deposit together, and as I said there is simply not enough

homes available as it is. Crucially, they will be built on brown field

sites, in towns and cities up and down the country which are already

used. They may be old factories, disused industrial sites, so the

money which has been set aside as ?1.2 billion and it will be used to

basically clearer that land and make it more attractive to developers.

Here is the Housing Minister explaining where the money will be

spent. I think there is a lot of different things we need to do to

help people in this country find more affordable housing. So we've

got shared ownership, we've got the Help to Buy scheme, right to buy, if

you are living in housing properties, and the ornamental

solution is to build more homes that housing becomes more affordable. But

that is going to take time, we can't just sit here and do nothing in the

meantime so starter homes are crucial to ensuring young people

have a chance to get on the housing ladder. Housing Minister and a sense

that this is about trying to kill two birds with one stone. It is

about building more houses but at the same time focusing on first-time

buyers, as you said, long overdue. The centre-left think tank

the Fabian Society has warned that Labour is too weak to

win the next election. The society, which has been

developing ideas for Labour for decades, has urged

the party to form an alliance with the Scottish Nationalists

and the Liberal Democrats if it Our political correspondent

Eleanor Garnier is at Westminster. Eleanor, how much notice

will the Labour Party be Well, it is certainly not the news

that Labour MPs will want to start the New Year with, but really I

don't think the findings in this report will be a surprise to many

politicians here in Westminster. It is a pretty melancholy message that

Labour is too weak to win yet too strong to fail, and the Fabian

Society analysis points out that the party would need to win 3 million

more votes than the Conservatives to win a majority at a general

election. It also points out that the problem the party faces with

Brexit, with the Tories and with UKIP, targeting the Labour's leave

voters and the Liberal Democrats targeting the remain voters while

Labour's own message on the one is muffled and inconsistent. We asked

Jeremy Corbyn's offers what they thought about all of this, and they

said the Labour leader offered the only genuine alternative to a failed

political establishment. But not the news that the Labour Party will want

to start the year with. Thank you very much for that this morning.

A series of events to mark the 100th anniversary of one of the bloodiest

battles of the First World War will take place in July.

A public ballot will be held to select descendants of British

soldiers to attend commemorations for the Battle of Passchendaele,

More than 300,000 Allied troops and 260,000 Germans died

Thank you for being with us. Happy New Year, everybody. Enjoy your

commute to work, or some people taking their kids to school. Sally

is here with the sport, and we have Defoe behind us, a very happy man.

But there is a much less happy man. Some of his interviews are

excruciating. In case you haven't seen it it is toe curling, Pat --

Pep Guardiola gave a masterclass in passive aggressive behaviour, as he

is obviously seething. One of those where he should have been given ten

minutes to cool down. Liverpool missed the chance to keep

the pressure on Premier League leaders Chelsea, by dropping

points at Sunderland. Jurgen Klopp was left feeling

unlucky, as the Black Cats came from behind twice to draw 2-2

at the Stadium of Light. It leaves Liverpool five points

behind the Londoners, Manchester City are back up

to third in the table, But they had to play for an hour

with only ten men after Fernandinho was sent off for

a reckless challenge. Gael Clichy and Sergio Aguero

were the City scorers. Leicester Tigers have

sacked their Director Rugby, Richard Cockerill,

after nearly eight years in charge. The club has never failed to reach

the Premiership semi-finals under him, but they're currently

fifth in the league. And Dutchman Michael van Gerwen has

won his second World Darts Van Gerwen beat the reigning PDC

champion, Scotland's Gary Anderson, 7-3 in last night's final

at Alexandra Palace. He has had a fantastic year, winning

something like 26 tournaments. Let's have a look at the front

pages. One of the stories we are talking about, children eat three

cubes of sugar at breakfast and parents are asked to show tough love

and cut unhealthy food in a drive against obesity. Give your kids to

go with eggs and spinach, they say. Would your kids a back? They would

eat the scrambled eggs. What about yours? -- eat that? And Helen Mirren

on the front of the paper in a waistcoat. The front page of the i,

ice is declared war on Turkey. They say the terror group has developed

an extensive network within the country. In the Guardian, mourners

carry the coffin of one of the person-mac attack in Istanbul. --

Reina. And children eating half of the sugar allowed at breakfast. The

front page of the Times, rail fares six times higher than in Europe.

They have a photo of one of the victims of the attack of the

nightclub in Istanbul New Year's as well. The front page of the Sun, the

honour system. It was blasted yesterday. The last surviving

British dambusters hero was refused a gong. They are starting a campaign

to make sure he gets one. The Mail are talking about queueing, and

these people are holding cards loaded with funds from British

taxpayers. Enter the Daily Mirror, Nigel Farage aide faces 20 years for

blackmail John plot. And how to survive January. Don't go to the

pub! -- blackmail drugs. Who did any Christmas shopping after Christmas?

No. The kids spent some Christmas money. You are one of the few. The

number of bargain hunters at shopping centres on New Year's day

plans by half in just one year as more of us shop on the Internet. But

it is slightly misleading. It suggests sales fell sharply, but

they were pretty impressively online. It is people who did not

fancy going out in the cold weather to do sales shopping and have done

it online instead. We know about Black Friday and cyber Monday.

People were doing that shopping online before Christmas instead of

waiting for the sales after Christmas. This man has decided to

do something different. Bradley Wiggins. What is he thinking? He has

announced his retirement just last week. He has decided he would do the

Channel 4 show The Jump. A really well-known reality show where

celebrities... For hurting people! He says he really likes skiing.

Jason Robinson, Robbie Fowler, Jade Jones are among the others

competitors. It gets more competitive every year. They have

been serious injuries like bad breaks. I can only imagine what the

waiver forms are like that you have to sign any insurance for all of

those people. I quite like this one from the Telegraph. It is mentioned

in a lot of the papers. The Duchess of Cambridge, the photographs widely

published worldwide, but now she has been given the ultimate recognition

of her skills, and honorary membership of the Royal photographic

Society. Apparently she is regarded as a role model for other amateur

photographers. I wanted to show you a believer in Wales because Carol

has a snake! LAUGHTER

-- beaver. Good morning from London Zoo. Look at that state. It is just

hanging around. This is a snake with very large teeth. One of my

favourites is this in Vivian. Good morning, Martin. -- amphibian. Look

at him. Can you do see him there? I don't know if it is a he or she. So

cute. You will find him in Australia in outhouses where there are fresh

water supplies. He can live up to 16 years. They are often kept as pets.

They shut their eyes to eat, which helps them swallow. But he is just

gorgeous. We are nice and cosy inside the reptile house, but

outside it is pretty cold this morning. The forecast is a bright

and breezy one. There is some heavy rain and winds in the forecast.

Vesting at nine o'clock, if you are stepping out, across southern

England, blue skies, but watch out for ice on untreated surfaces --

first thing. Into East Anglia, more cloud that still a lot of sunshine.

Across the Midlands heading up the east coast of England, again, a lot

of sunshine but cold and frosty. For Scotland, more cloud. In the north,

rain and stronger winds, especially across Shetland, up to 60 mph. Spots

of rain across western Scotland. Some of that getting across Northern

Ireland. A lot of dry weather too. But fairly cloudy. Across north-west

England, cloud with showers, getting in across north Wales. For south

Wales and the south of England, especially into the south-west, a

cold start and frosty with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces.

Through the course of the day, rain across the far north of Scotland

moves a little further south. It will be windy and generally breezy

in the northern half. There will be more cloud around than yesterday.

For southern areas, hanging on to the sunshine for the lovers period

of time. No heatwave on the clouds. As we head to the evening and

overnight, rain for the final to Scotland and slipping southwards. --

far north of Scotland. Some clear skies and then the weather front

comes up bringing rain with clear skies behind. A windy night

especially in the north. Booking at a touch of frost as temperatures

slipped down to three or four or lower. For some parts, like this

morning, -6 or possibly -7. We start with a weather front tomorrow in

parts of England and Wales and continuing southwards. Windy

especially Danny is close. That will blow showers across Lincolnshire,

Yorkshire into East Anglia. -- down the east coast. I'd skies with fewer

showers elsewhere, but it will fool cold wherever you are. For Thursday,

a bit more clouds around. A weather front from the west will introduce

spots of rain. Away from that, elsewhere, largely dry with fewer

showers and as I mentioned, a bit more cloud. It could be a lot worse

at this time of year. I'm glad to say it is not. That is good to hear!

Thank you very much. More from you and your friends later. A nice way

to start the New Year. Last year Jeremy Corbyn said

he was convinced his party could climb the "electoral

mountain" to success - but a new report by a left-of-centre

think tank says Labour is "too weak" The Fabian Society says

the securing an overall majority Joining us now from the Fabian

Society is Andrew Harrop. Good morning. Thank you for joining

us. What have you based your findings on and what have you found?

We have looked at current polls and found that if they were translated

into votes in the general election this year, Labour would get under

200 seats in a new House of Commons. That would be its lowest performance

since 1935. OK, and we know in some ways to question polls. How do you

know this is right? We were of course sceptical as with everyone

else, and we loved it passed balls and how far they got it wrong. In

fact, they tend to overstate labour's performance -- we looked at

past polls. He could sing to as low as 146. -- it could sink. If that

were true, the Labour Party would become unelectable. At the moment,

Labour has the same problem here that Clinton has just seen in the

United States, which is even if they get more votes than the

Conservatives, they would not get a majority unless they were way ahead

-- Hillary Clinton. Labour could be in a good enough position if they

move forward to form a minority government working with other

parties, the chance of them getting a majority on their own are very

slim. If you are looking at that, what are the parties you would be

talking about? The electoral Mass and what of the result of an

election was dictated. But if Labour wants to stop a Conservatives party

and Theresa May forming another government they will need to think

about working with the Liberal Democrats and possibly the SNP, even

though that is very uncomfortable for people in the Labour Party.

Would you be recommending a Labour candidate should not go up against a

LibDem candidate? This report does not get into the detail of

recommendations, it is good the facts on the table. The chances of

Labour winning a majority on their own are very low. The party will

have to think about different ways of working with other people. Let's

talk about your position in the Fabian Society. Some people in the

labour movement might say this is very much Tony Blair's side of the

party, and you would say this, wouldn't you? The Fabian Society is

an organisation with members from across the Labour Party, left and

right. This report really is not about Jeremy Corbyn. This current

unpopularity is just one factor in the Labour Party's troubles. It is

just as worrying that the 2015 election led to a huge meltdown in

Scottish support and the rise of the SNP, and that stopped Labour making

progress. Brexit is a huge problem as well. Labour needs to reach out

to people who voted remain and leave. That will be true even if

Jeremy Corbyn was not delayed. Andrew, thank you.

Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

Coming up on Breakfast today: Thousands of new homes

for first-time buyers will be built on brownfield sites this year.

Ben will be here to tell us if the supply will meet the demand.

Also this morning: We are talking about the revival of vinyl.

Sales have jumped to their highest level in 25 years.

And a familiar face is back on our screens this weekend,

We will hear from the show's creator, Gary Barlow.

But now, a summary of this morning's main news:

A man has been shot dead by police in an operation near the M62

motorway in Huddersfield yesterday evening.

West Yorkshire say the operation was pre-planned and that at least

one person was arrested, but gave few other details.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has sent investigators

It is the fifth fatal police shooting in England and Wales

And the latest information about the motorway is the slip roads

east and westbound at Junction 24 of the M62 remain closed.

They are expected to stay closed until at least 10:00am this morning.

New pictures have emerged of the suspect involved in the mass

shooting at a nightclub in Istanbul at New Year.

Police say they have made 12 arrests so far.

Yesterday, Turkish media reported that special forces had raided

a house in Turkey after a tip-off, but the suspect was not found.

So-called Islamic State have said it was behind the attack,

which left 39 people dead and over 60 people in hospital.

British workers are spending up to a seventh of their income on rail

fares, according to a study by the campaign group

The study found people commuting into London pay an average of ?387

a month, compared with ?61 in Paris or Rome.

The Government say wages are growing faster than regulated fares.

Thousands of new starter homes have been given the go-ahead to be built

The properties will be available for first-time buyers aged

between 23 and 40, at 20% less than the market value.

Vinyl sales are at the highest they have ever been in 25 years,

with more than 3.2 million records sold last year.

It marks the ninth consecutive year that sales have grown.

It is believed sales have been increased because of events such

as Record Store Day, and an increasing audience

It is back. It has never been anywhere else in my house. People

buying record players for Christmas, aren't they? I bought one last year

for Christmas. You are ahead of the curve.

The world's steepest residential road has been confirmed,

and you wouldn't want to live at the top of it.

The winner is Baldwin Street, which is in New Zealand's South

At its steepest, the slope has a gradient of 35%,

It is a road that must strike fear into anyone delivering post

or newspapers, let alone anyone trying to cycle up it.

That is what you would spend most of your time doing. Oh my goodness me.

Imagine living on that road. And they have assigned confirming that

they are the world's steepest street. Well done to them. And a big

day of football yesterday. A busy day for our colleagues in BBC sport,

doing their postmatch interviews with managers, some more happy than

others. We will show you now what I can only describe as a really

awkward exchange between Batman back, Pep Guardiola, and let's

remind ourselves that his side won. We are going to show you the

pictures right now. But they had to play

for an hour with only ten men, after captain Fernandinho was sent

off for a reckless challenge. Gael Clichy eventually gave them

the lead in the second half. Sergio Aguero added a second

just four minutes later. Pep Guardiola didn't seem

entirely happy in his The sending off -

what was it your view of the red You're the manager, I'm sure

the fans would like to know. You don't seem that

happy that you've won? More than you would believe, more

than you would believe. Liverpool stay second

in the Premier League, despite twice throwing away a lead

at relegation-threatened Sunderland. Sadio Mane made it 2-1

for Liverpool, but Jermaine Defoe's second penalty of the

match saw it end 2-2. Liverpool are now five points

behind leaders Chelsea. Two points dropped for Liverpool.

Too early to say that? I am not interested in what people say. Some

people, I am not interested. Could it be a precious point come the end

of the season, away from home? As I said, if all the other teams to drop

points and it is a big problem for us, it could be a loss.

Manchester United moved to within a point of the top four

after victory at West Ham, who had to play with ten men

for most of the game after Sofiane Feghouli was sent off.

The goals came from Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Paul Clement will become Swansea City's third manager

The former Chelsea and Real Madrid assistant manager was in charge

of Derby County for eight months before being sacked last year,

Roger Federer made a winning return to tennis by helping Switzerland

to victory over Great Britain at the Hopman Cup, in Perth.

Federer beat Dan Evans to set his team up for a clean sweep.

They won both singles matches and the mixed doubles.

Federer hadn't played competitively since Wimbledon in the summer.

Michael van Gerwen has won his second World Darts

He beat reigning PDC Champion Gary Anderson 7-3

It wasn't all plain sailing for the Dutchman, though,

as just as he was throwing for the match at 6-2 up,

Security men quickly dealt with the prankster,

but it put van Gerwen off, delaying his coronation

It was worth the extra wait, though, as he claimed victory in style,

to take the ?350,000 prize, and end Anderson's hopes

And finally, less than a week after announcing his retirement,

He is swapping two wheels for a pair of skis, by joining Channel 4's

Yes, you did hear giggles when I read that last part, because he is

an adrenaline junkie. Adrenaline, you are certainly going to get that

on that show. He was never going to put his feet up, I suppose. Good

luck to them all. Is this just for me? Where do I start?

We have heard warnings before that skipping breakfast is one

of the most unhealthy things a child can do.

This morning, new research suggests eating the wrong breakfast could be

Public Health England says the high sugar content in some of our most

popular cereals, spreads and juices means the average child in England

has already consumed half the healthy daily limit before

So how can we keep track of what children are eating

for breakfast, and what are the healthy options?

Good morning to you. We have talked about this on Breakfast before, but

it is quite a shock when you start doing the numbers. It is a very big

problem. I think it is important to get an idea of the scale of the

problem. One in five children in this country, when they start

primary school, are either overweight or obese. By the time

they reach secondary school that figure has gone up to one in three

children so a third of our kids by the time they start secondary school

are overweight or obese. That is a big, big problem. What strikes me

most about the statistics as they come from Public Health England, and

not only... Well, not only is the average child in England having half

the daily allowance at first, 80% of those parents think they are giving

their child a healthy Breakfast. And stuff like this, to give you an idea

of how it works. This app tells you how much sugar is in each of these

things, you can use it to scan things in a supermarket. Let's take

a couple of things and scan them and find out how much sugar is in each

of these. This is normal chocolate spread, and the results on here, it

tells you in a whole pack, in 100 g, and in one serving. 2.1 sugar cubes

in one serving. So a piece of toast with that on is two sugar cubes and

let's say you have that with a normal Jews drink in the morning, we

will just scan that for you -- juice drink. I think it is the hidden

sugar. So together you have over five, nearly six. Absolutely, so if

you are a child aged four to six, the recommended daily allowance for

added sugar is five sugar cubes. You are going over that with this

Breakfast. This seems like a reasonable Breakfast for people, so

I think it is trying to educate people about trying to make better

choices. So a better choice might be, for example, what? I have two

kids at home, so I am very used to this dilemma and we do things like

eggs and avocado in the morning. Six minutes it can take. It doesn't have

to be a big effort, I have to cook a fresh Breakfast for my children. You

can have quick healthy food. Eggs and avocado are a common one. We

make a lot of dinner the night before, and often heat up leftovers

in the morning. So that is quite a change, isn't it? You assume

Breakfast is a particular type of meal. Absolutely, and it will

require a cultural change, if we are used to having cereals which are

full of sugar, juices which are full of sugar, it is going to take quite

a lot to change our behaviour. When people go to school, I remember the

week before Christmas my six-year-old was at school and on

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday it was a sugar fat. It was all in the name

of Christmas. And I understand it is a particular time of year, but I

strongly think that the problem is so bad that I don't think we should

be encouraging children at school to be having sugar -- sugar fat. Would

sugar tax which is due to come in next year, is that something you

would encourage? I encourage it because I think everything helps. I

don't think one thing in isolation is going to turn around this

epidemic we have. I think empowering people with an application that they

can make better choices is going to help but I think schools and

teachers need to be involved, doctors, the government, I think the

only way we are going to get on top of this is everyone together. We

need to get back to sugar being the occasional treat rather than the

everyday norm. It is really good to talk to you, as always. What are you

having for Breakfast this morning? When I come back I think we are

having roast chicken left over from last night, with some veg. That is

my ideal Breakfast, not that I have it often. I have cumin yoghurt and

porridge. Carol is at London Zoo. Who is that?

It is a mangrove snake. You are more likely to find him in a forest than

a mangrove, but we have one of the snakes out. It is the annual stock

take at London Zoo. I got a bit close! This is a rhino rat snake

from China and Vietnam. One of the cool things about the skies is that

big nose it has. Nobody knows why it has those. -- this guy. One

suggestion is it uses it to funnel rainwater into mouth. It is a

drinking mechanism. He is very nice, but he is close enough. Thank you!

It is cold outside, not in the reptile house. This morning, for

many, it would be bright and breezy. There is rain and stronger wind in

the forecast. If you are stepping out first being in England, it is a

cold start with sunshine. Watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. Roads

and pavements alike. At nine o'clock, the temperature in London

will be one degree. Cloud and sunshine. As we move up the east

coast of England, generally, a fair bit of sunshine fez thing. In

Scotland, although in some parts of the east there is sunshine,

foremost, cloudy with rain across Shetland and the far north of

mainland Scotland. It will be a windy day. For Western Scotland and

Northern Ireland, patchy light rain and showers. For north-west England,

showers and cloud as it is across Wales. South Wales and south-west

England, back into blue skies. A cold and frosty start. Once again,

the risk of ice. Temperatures in Oxfordshire are -6.4. Through the

course of the day, more cloud around then yesterday. More persistent rain

across the far north of Scotland. Windy with gusts of 60 mph across

Shetland, but in the north, it will be breezy. The cloud filtering

further south and east through the day. No heatwave in prospect. Into

the evening and overnight, the weather front bringing the rain

across northern Scotland sinks southwards. Ahead of it, some breaks

in the clouds and an early frost for a bit of cloud building as the front

comes south taking patchy rain with it, and behind it, clearer skies. A

cold night in prospect. Still windy and still with a touch of frost.

Tomorrow morning, we start with our weather front continuing to sink

south and taking cloud and patchy rain with it. We will also see

strong wind down the east coast. That could blow in showers across

Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, into East Anglia. Behind that, fewer showers

and a fair bit of sunshine. As we move into Thursday, we have a

weather front coming in from the west. That will introduce some rain

later to western areas. The further is to travel, the drier you will be

more likely to be. A bit of cloud at times with some sunshine. Still

feeling cold. As you would expect at the beginning of January. I am

loving your little show around the mountain so. Thank you. We will see

you later. -- London Zoo. Plenty more animals coming later in the

programme. Thousands of new homes,

which will only be available to first-time buyers,

are to be built on brownfield These are the first homes that will

benefit. The government has announced

the first areas to benefit from the ?1.2 billion

Starter Homes Land Fund. These are areas that have been built

on before but are now disused or derelict - as opposed

to greenfield sites, which are areas of land that have

never been built on before. The government has named 30 local

authorities across England which will receive

the first batch of funding. The new houses will only be

available to first-time buyers aged between 23 and 40 years

old at a discount of at least 20% It is designed to help first-time

buyers get on the property ladder. It is unlikely I will buy a house

unless I can get some muggy by winning the lotto. Like over 7

million people in this country, I am self employed, and there are special

criteria we have to meet -- money. It is harder for people self

employed to get houses than other people. That along with getting a

deposit for houses that are getting ever more expensive. It is really

difficult. For me, I can't see a way forward where I will ever own my own

home. That is the view of one would-be buyer.

David Hollingworth is from the mortgage broker

So this is not new money. It will be used to clean up brown field sites.

Today we got the detail about where the money will be spent. As you say,

the starter homes concept has been around for some time. We are

starting to see how that money will fifth go. The aim is to give a

discount to first-time homebuyers struggle with affordability and to

get a deposit in the face of high house prices. They are trying to

remove some of the hurdles for developers to bring new homes to

market. Look to bring new sites that previously would not have been

developed, remove the costs of hurdles, and helped to produce and

supply more new homes. And it is that difference between Brownfield

sites and places being used on already, a factory or warehouse,

rather than greenfield sites in the countryside. Of course everyone is

worried about the use of green fields. They don't want to start

developing the countryside. But we have a lot of land available on

Brownfield that could potentially be utilised for this kind of housing.

Hoping to bring more affordable homes to market.

You have to be between ages of 23 and 40 and a first-time homebuyer to

be eligible. Can you move on from there? So I think the problem for

first-time homebuyers is getting a deposit together. Prices are higher

in you need a big deposit. Affordability is difficult. This is

trying to focus on that problem by providing a discount. Once people

can get on the ladder, hopefully they will then have a footing they

can help them move further down the line. But that discount stopped them

from recouping that immediately and we expect that will be a five-year

period before they are able to move on. So the pot of money worth ?1.2

billion, some are already saying this does not even scratch the

surface. It is nowhere near enough to solve the problem we have as far

as a housing crisis for first-time buyers. It is a start but not the

whole deal? It is part of an overall target. 200,000 homes by 2020. It is

not an overnight solution, clearly, but it is focusing on local

authorities they can bring these properties to market quite quickly.

That has been one of the key areas. As you say, clearly focused on

first-time buyers and helping to address that supply issue as well.

These are important issues, so it is a start on that road. David, nice to

see you. Thank you very much. More from me after seven o'clock.

If you're missing Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor,

two more singing contests are taking over Saturday night TV again

On BBC One there's the launch of Gary Barlow's talent show

Let It Shine, where he searches for the cast

An hour later The Voice begins its ITV debut -

but is there really an appetite for even more TV talent shows?

Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson spoke to Gary Barlow

The start of January, a BBC One Saturday night singing contest, but

not The Voice. After five years, that has moved to ITV, replaced by

letter China. # I am nice to meet you

# Look around there are a whole lot of pretty ladies #.

The face behind it was previously an X factor judge for three seasons.

Gary Barlow, no stranger to the TV talent singing show. What is

different about this one? It is obviously very exciting because it

is my own show. These guys we are casting at the moment, the endgame

of this whole programme is that they will have a part in a new musical

featuring all of the music of their slack.

# Family asked me why you let me come #.

Saturday night singing contests have had a hard time. December's The X

Factor final was the least watched in the show's history and by Stu's

The Voice soar view is vanishing. What makes you think there is room

or the appetite for another one of these shows? -- last year's there is

gut instinct and a lot of research saying people at the beginning of a

dark winter want some real treat on TV because Christmas is finished and

everything is finished. You don't want TV to suddenly desert you. And

one of the show's judges has a lot of Saturday night TV experience.

Danni Minogue was on The X Factor for four years. What is unusual is

you will be up against The Voice, which used to be on BBC One. You are

going to love that! There will be a media frenzy. How will you compete?

I think they are different shows. The Voice is really settled into

what it is doing and has such a fan base. This one is different. I mean,

we are giving people the skills they can take on to use forever, but then

also offering a 12 month did. That is a really big job for someone. And

every contestant I spoke to say this was the first time they had

auditioned for a TV talent show, and it was the format which appealed. To

be put on a platform we were given the opportunity to do your stars and

tricks but actually sing as well, I can't ask for anything else --

styles. I get all one package. I can sing, play instruments, dance and

act as well. It was everything in one. There is not a show that

provides bad. -- those options. As the Gary Barlow, he is not overawed

about letter China starting on the very same night The Voice makes it

ITV debut -- Let It Shine. It is the same with music. I don't look right

or left, I just concentrate on what we are doing and make it the best

quality it can be. Very diplomatic. Gary Barlow resisting the chance to

say person-mac to his reality rivals. -- say Take That.

We will be watching the viewing figures with interest. Both of those

shows start this weekend. British explorer Levison

Wood has travelled through war zones and was

even robbed at gunpoint He'll tell us why his latest

travel and weather where you are. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. A man is shot dead by police

in an operation near the M62 West Yorkshire Police say

the operation was pre-planned and that at least one

person was arrested, It is the fifth fatal police

shooting in England and Wales Good morning, it is

Tuesday 3 January. Also this morning: The average child

is eating three cubes worth of sugar for breakfast, according

to Public Health England. British workers spend six times

as much as employees across Europe on rail fares, according

to a new study. Women are paying a premium for more

than just razors, say campaigners. Tesco has shaved

the cost of a blade. I'm looking at what other

products are affected. In sport: Manchester City came

from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 Despite the win, manager

Pep Guardiola cut an unhappy figure Good morning from the Belgian city

of Ypres, and the Centenary of one of the First World War's most deadly

battles, the battle of Passchendaele.

And Carol has the weather from London Zoo.

Good morning. You are looking at a blue tree monitor lizard at the

moment, and he was unknown to science until 2001. He is nice and

cosy inside this tank there. Outside it is a cold start to the day more

or less across the board. Temperatures falling two minus seven

Celsius. There is ice and frost, a fair bit of sunshine but more cloud

than yesterday and wet and especially windy across the far

north of Scotland. More details and more reptiles in 15 minutes.

First, our main story: A man has been shot dead by police

in an operation near the M62 motorway in Huddersfield yesterday

West Yorkshire say the operation was pre-planned and that more

than one person has been arrested, but gave few other details.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission has sent investigators

It is the fifth fatal police shooting in England and Wales

Our home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw reports.

The shooting happened shortly after 6:00pm yesterday evening

on a slip road off the M62 at Ainley Top, near Huddersfield.

West Yorkshire Police say the incident took place

during a preplanned policing operation, suggesting officers had

acted on intelligence rather than responding

The force said a police firearm was discharged,

No-one else is believed to have been injured.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission was informed,

and has sent its own investigators to the scene, which has

Photographs from the area appeared to indicate that a number

of unmarked police vehicles may have stopped a car on the slip road

before the shooting, though that hasn't been confirmed.

Although fatal police shootings are rare, it is the fifth such

incident in England and Wales in the last nine months,

and the first involving West Yorkshire Police

We will be speaking to our correspondent a little later in the

programme. Children in England are eating

half their recommended daily sugar intake before they even get

to school, that is the warning Public Health England say sugary

cereals, juices and spreads are to blame and, at a time

of spiralling obesity levels, have launched a campaign to help

us better understand If breakfast is the most

important meal of the day... Millions of children consume over

half their daily sugar allowance before they even get to school,

but a new campaign is aiming to curb Many parents will think

their breakfast cereals are healthy, that they're buying

for their children, and they're actually rather surprised

when they find out how much sugar There are better, lower-sugar,

alternative breakfast cereals We'd be encouraging parents

to have a look at those. Public Health England has launched

an app to scan a barcode, and it will tell you how much sugar,

salt and fat is in that food. And the results - well,

they may be surprising. And that is the idea, to help

parents make healthier choices. The average child in England has

the equivalent of three cubes of sugar every morning

for breakfast. The recommended daily maximum amount

for children aged four to six years old is five cubes, and for seven

to ten-year-olds, six cubes. By the end of the day,

the average child consumes three times more than their daily

recommended amount, up to 18 With one in five children now

starting primary school overweight or obese, perhaps now,

more than ever, breakfast really is the most important

meal of the day. Attempts to secure a peace deal

in Syria have been suspended, after rebel groups accused

government forces of Russia and Turkey, who brokered

the current ceasefire, are trying to convene

negotiations later this month. Meanwhile, Kurdish activists have

told the BBC that a British man has been killed in Syria, fighting

against the Islamic State group. Ryan Lock, who was 20

and from West Sussex, died just before Christmas,

during the battle to try to retake New pictures have emerged

of the suspect involved in the mass shooting at a nightclub

in Istanbul at New Year. Police say they have

made 12 arrests so far. Yesterday, Turkish media reported

that special forces had raided a house in Turkey after a tip-off,

but the suspect was not found. So-called Islamic State have said

it was behind the attack, which left 39 people dead and over

60 people in hospital. British workers are spending up

to a seventh of their income on rail fares, according to a study

by the campaign group It says people in the UK spend six

times as much on tickets compared The study also found fares have

increased twice as much as wages Our reporter Leanne Brown

is at King's Cross Station Yesterday it was bank holiday, I

imagine it is a little bit busier today. Yes, it is. It is the start

to a new year that commuters simply did not want, as you say. Rail

prices went up yesterday, and public transport campaigners called it a

kick in the teeth. Now, the union backed Action For Rail campaign says

some customers are spending 14% of their wages on their monthly

commute. To give you an example, if you are travelling from Luton into

London, that could cost you ?387 per month. Compared with the rest of

Europe, in places like Paris and Rome you will pay something like ?61

for a similar journey. Now, campaigners say that it is a

rip-off, and they are going to be staging protests at railway stations

across the country today. Here in King's Cross and Manchester, being

the main ones. The government in response has said that they are

delivering the biggest rail improvements for a century,

nonetheless, just after the festive season, money is going to be tight

for many people. And we will be speaking to a representative of the

TUC in a few minutes' time on Breakfast.

Donald Trump has dismissed North Korea's latest claim

that it is developing a missile capable of delivering a nuclear

In a New Year message, the North Korean leader,

Kim Jong-un, said preparations had reached the final stage.

However, on a brief message on Twitter, the US President-elect,

Thousands of new starter homes have been given the go-ahead to be built

The properties will be available for first-time buyers aged

between 23 and 40, at 20% less than the market value.

Labour says the target of 200,000 starter homes by 2020 isn't

possible, but the Housing Minister, Gavin Barwell, says it is all part

I think there's a lot of different things we need to do to help people

in this country find more affordable housing.

So we've got shared ownership, we've got the Help to Buy scheme,

already, right to buy, if you are living in a council

And the fundamental solution is to build more homes,

so that housing becomes more affordable.

We can't just sit here and do nothing in the meantime,

so starter homes are crucial to ensuring young people

have a chance to get on the housing ladder.

The centre-left think tank the Fabian Society has warned that

Labour is too weak to win the next election.

The society, which has been developing ideas for Labour

for decades, has urged the party to form an alliance

with the Scottish Nationalists and the Liberal Democrats if it

Our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier is at Westminster.

Eleanor, how much notice will the Labour Party be

Well, I think it is certainly not the news that Labour MPs will want

to start 2017 with. Having said that, I don't think many politicians

here in Westminster will be surprised by the report's findings.

Yes, it is a pretty melancholy message that Labour is too weak to

win yet too strong to die, the Fabian Society report points out

that the party would need to win 300 million more votes than the

Conservatives to secure a majority at a general election. That is

something this report concludes is currently unprintable. It also

points out the problems Labour has with Brexit, with the Tories and

UKIP targeting Labour's leave voters and the Liberal Democrats on the

other side hunting Labour's remained voters. Labour's own message on

Brexit is muffled and inconsistent. -- remain voters. We put Mr Jeremy

Corbyn's offers and they said the Labour leader offered the only

genuine alternative to a failed political establishment.

Vinyl sales are at the highest they've ever been in 25 years,

with more than 3.2 million records sold last year.

It marks the ninth consecutive year that sales have grown.

It is believed sales have been increased because of events such

as Record Store Day, and an increasing audience

We do play the records. Last Christmas you are saying you got a

record player. Have you seen the list of the top 50 selling LPs? Only

two of the top ten new albums, David Bowie being one. Every thing else is

a bit of nostalgia. Resume of the rereleases of albums as well. People

going out and buying them again. Thank you for contacting us, and on

the sugar side of things as well. While people are preparing for

Breakfast, we will give you more information about that. It is

something we talk about a lot on Breakfast but those hidden sugars in

things like juices and cereals and eggs, things like that.

As many rail passengers head back to work this morning,

A new study by campaign group Action For Rail says British workers

are spending up to a seventh of their income on train tickets.

The figure is about six times as much as employees

Joining us now from King's Cross Station in London is the TUC's head

Thank you for your time this morning, happy New Year to you as

well. The government are saying that wages... Sorry, bit of a delay on

the line, but we shall persevere. The government is saying that wages

are increasing more than regulated train fares. What is your response

to that this morning? Well, some wages are going up but for most

working people they are not. We are seeing real fear is yet again

increasing far faster in the UK than anywhere else in Europe and

passengers are having to pay more and more just to get to work. In the

UK passengers are paying 14% of their salaries just to commute. That

is an awful lot for people to commit out of their salaries, and we're not

seeing Parsley improved rail services as a result of that

investment. It another hit on commuters, as people have said, that

is a key in the teeth and a hell of a way to start the New Year. Chris

Grayling has talked about those increased fees and says the

government is embarking on the biggest modernisation in rail in

many years. Surely money is required to make it a better service. The

investment in the rail infrastructure is absolutely

necessary and very, very welcome. It is right that passengers pay a share

of that, and it is right that the taxpayer pays a share of that, and

both are. But there is another partner in the rail industry, and

that is the privatised rail companies and they are paying less.

We think the investment is welcome but everyone should pay their part,

including the private sector operators, instead of the passengers

paying more and more and bigger and bigger share for what is essentially

not on improving service. What would you like to see done to address

those problems? More money coming in from private companies? Well, we

think that with private sector involvement it is a real costly

feature of power in the structure, taking money out of the system

rather than putting money in. So if they are insisting on having private

sector companies operating it, which we think is a bad idea to start

with, and followed a lot of problems, we think they should be

putting their money into the system as well, and not placed under in

increasing burden from passengers. There are a lot of people watching

this and thinking they don't use the train, they drive to work. You

mentioned in your argument about taxpayers subsidising train fares.

What do you say to those watching and saying it is not something I

wish my taxes to go towards? Well, we think that rail services are an

important public service, the same as education, hospitals, the Police

Service, Justice service. It is an important part of our economy and of

making Britain worked well. So we think that is a reason to keep it in

the public sector, and a reason why everybody including taxpayers should

contribute towards an efficient, well staffed and reliable rail

service. Good to talk to you, thank you very much for your time.

Back to our top story now - one man has been shot dead by police

in a pre-planned operation near the M62 motorway in Huddersfield.

Our reporter Phil Bodmer is at the scene for us now.

Good morning. What more can you tell us about what is going on? In the

last few hours, the police have now erected some steel screens across

the motorway slip road. This is the exit to Junction 24 of the and 62.

They are likely to remain closed until at least ten o'clock this

morning as investigations into what happened last night continued -- and

62. Police say a man died after a police firearm was discharged during

what they call a preplanned operation. The roads here and the

motorway was closed overnight and today as those investigations

continue, they will try to piece together exactly what happened. We

also understand a number of people have now been arrested in connection

with this incident. How often does this occur? This incident involved

two cars. You can't see them now because they are obscured by the

screen. A silver Mercedes and also a jaguar car. They were involved in

what seems to be some kind of stopped by the police. These are

fairly rare incidents. A shooting certainly. This is only the fifth

time in the last nine months somebody has been shot fatally in

England and Wales by the police. This is an automatic referral to the

Independent police complaints commission, and they are here with

offices in West Yorkshire police to investigate the circumstances of

what happened. Thank you. We will keep you up-to-date on BBC Breakfast

as well. Let's get the latest weather from

Carol. She was promising some more reptiles.

Have you got a Komodo dragon? This is a Philippine water monitor

lizard. She's a young lady, lovely. She is big and quite sleepy at the

moment. There are two ladies in this cage. They are quite large. We have

a smaller one. We have Martin with us. Tell us about this wee chap?

This is a Chinese crocodile. There are two subspecies, one from China

and one from Vietnam. What are like about the skies is they are so busy,

or at least take a long time to wake up. -- these guys. They're Chinese

name translate to great sleepiness. He does not look uncomfortable. No,

they have a fight or flight response and typically will struggle if they

are not comfortable, but this guy is perfectly comfortable. No worries.

Thank you. We'll come back to you later. In the reptile house at

London Zoo, an annual stock take is taking place today. It is nice and

warm. But outside it is cold and also bright and breezy for many.

More clout round today than yesterday. We also have rain in the

north. As we come further south, we have clearer skies and blue skies

from the word go and they cold start. -6.4 in Benson in

Oxfordshire. -6.2 in Exeter itself. There is the risk of hours this

morning on untreated surfaces. Roads and pavements alike. -- ice. We are

back into the sunshine and the cold start with the frost. A bit of

brightness across eastern Scotland, but generally, a fair bit of cloud.

More persistent rain across the final and windy as well. Patchy rain

across Western Scotland and showers in Northern Ireland. Showers across

north-west England and north Wales. For southern parts of Wales and

south-west England, it is cold and frosty. There is the risk of ice on

untreated surfaces once again. Through the day, the rain will

continue across the Northern Isles, the far north of mainland Scotland

and sinking further south. Winds up to 60 mph across Shetland, but

generally a breezy day in the northern half of the country. The

far south of England will hang onto sunshine for the longest as clouds

builds. From the temperatures, no heatwave in prospect. Overnight, the

weather front bringing rain across Scotland continues to sink south.

Ahead of it, a fair bit of cloud with some breaks and early frost. As

it comes south, disguised behind it will clear. We will have again some

frost but still windy. Windy across the north and east. Tomorrow, we

will have a weather front across parts of England and Wales producing

cloud. The odd spot of rain. Nothing too significant. It will continue to

push southwards through the day. Behind it, blue skies and fewer

showers. With a stiff north-easterly or north-westerly wind coming down

the North Sea, it will bring in a few showers across Yorkshire,

Lincolnshire and into east angler. It will fill colour. By Thursday,

the weather front coming from the west will introduce rain -- feel

colder. Across central areas, dry and brighter with sunshine.

Temperatures roughly where they should be at this stage in January.

Thank you very much. It certainly was chilly last night. See you

later. I love the reptile 's this morning. I know, fantastic.

It was one of the bloodiest battles during World War One,

with 325,000 Allied troops and 260,000 German soldiers

To honour those who died there, and to mark the 100th

anniversary of Passchendaele, two events will be held

Our correspondent Robert Hall is at the Menin Gate

Good morning. Can you explain exactly what is happening? Looking

for those who might be relatives of those who died at Passchendaele?

Yes, that's right. This is a town where those commemorations will be

focused. You will hear more about that in a minute. Passchendaele

probably in the run events marking the first of the world for

centuries, the most significant milestones. The pictures that came

out of that period probably typified to a lot of people what the First

World War was about. The soldiers fought in a sea of mud and water. I

will tell you more about the event in a minute, but let's hear

something from those who were there. My wound was light and I was

hobbling back, then a shell burst slick upon the dartboards. So I fell

into the bottomless mud and lost the right -- duck boards. There was not

a sign of life of any site, not a bird, not even a rat or a blade of

grass. The words of those who tried to some up the whole of

Passchendaele. Three months when more than half a million men died --

hell. Three months when the Allied army fought an enemy. There might

and the cold, to gain a few miles of ground -- the mud. A few years ago,

Ypres was under siege. The roads leading North climbed steadily to

the German lines which overlooked the Allies on three sides. After the

war, the British made this documentary about the battle. Tales

of personal heroism to distract from the ghastly reality. The reality of

uphill advances, a sacking quagmire, and the horrors of machine-guns and

gas. -- sucking. This year's commemorations will be focused in

Ypres, a city rebuilt from total destruction. They will be a series

of events built and run remembrance and a need to help visitors

understand what happened here. -- around. The events will take place

over two days, starting with the traditional last post ceremony at

Menin Gate followed by comparative events in the Market Square at the

following day. On a freezing night under the Menin Gate, the bugles

sound for the fallen once again. Passchendaele is burned into Ypres's

turbulent history. Passchendaele is the loss of a lot of lives for us,

and a lot of people that we commemorate day after day, and we

want to continue the message that the last post has not forgotten.

This summer's commemorations will be a partnership with a city whose

people have never forgotten. There are 54,000 names carved onto

the walls of the Menin Gate. This is the road that soldiers would have

marched up to go to that battle, and the many other battles that took

place around Ypres during the First World War. I suppose that is the

poignant thing for a lot of families who might be thinking of coming.

There are mysteries surrounding so many hundreds of people who still

lie in the farmland here, his remains were never identified. Those

other people the government are looking to try to bring to the

commemorations. It will be a very big event, multinational,

representatives from all over Europe. There will be events at

Menin Gate, the Tyne cot seven Terry just below Passchendaele village,

and then that cultural event in the square at the bottom pass those

Christmas decorations by me. -- Cemetery. That will be hosted by the

town itself. If you want to go, go to the website.

I'm sure they will. Thank you very much. See you later.

A familiar face is back on our screens this weekend

with a new singing contest, but is there any appetite for it?

We'll hear from the show's creator, Gary Barlow.

We know there is an appetite for this! The revival of the final! You

have. This out. -- vinyl. We have started playing records again. We

have lost David Bowie, Prints this year. Thank you for your comments

about vinyl that you love, and the rebirth of final -- Prince. Helen

says she bought a husband a record player for Christmas. We had

forgotten how good it says. It is tangible and you hold it. You can

find the lyrics. We will have a quick look. Wait for this. Look at

that! It is beautiful. You can hold it. We are streaming more than ever,

but vinyl sales are bigger than they have been in the last years. And

thank you for your comments. Hello, this is Breakfast,

it was behind the attack, which left 39 people dead and over

60 people in hospital. The Ministry of Defence says

a British soldier has died in Iraq. It said the soldier,

from the Second Battalion the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, died

near Baghdad following an incident The regiment is training Iraqi

and Kurdish security forces. The death wasn't the result

of enemy activity. The soldier's family

has been informed. The centre-left think tank

the Fabian Society has warned that Labour is too weak to

win the next election. The society, which has been

developing ideas for Labour for decades, has urged

the party to form an alliance with the Scottish Nationalists

data suggests the party could hold The world's steepest residential

which is in New Zealand's South At its steepest the slope

has a gradient of 35%, It is a road that must strike fear

into anyone delivering post or newspapers, let alone anyone

trying to cycle up it. You would not want a paper round on

Coming up on the programme: Carol will have the weather

from London Zoo, where we hope she is keeping warm

Sometimes when you do a triathlon and visit in a rather annoying

way... Or maybe you win a triathlon. And something goes wrong, and Sally

shoves a microphone under your mouth, and you say things that maybe

the next day... People can get emotional, can't they? People can

get emotional and I wonder whether managers should sometimes take a

moment before they do their postmatch interview. How quick is a?

Almost instantaneous. Sometimes they shout at their team first, but

straight in the heat of battle, here come the questions. Shall I explain

what we are talking about? Manchester City are back up to third

in the Premier League, But they had to play

for an hour with only ten men, after captain Fernandinho was sent

off for a reckless challenge. Gael Clichy eventually gave them

the lead, but Guardiola was clearly Guardiola didn't seem entirely happy

in his post-match interview, either, speaking to our

reporter Damian Johnson. The sending off -

what was it your view of the red You're the manager, I'm sure

the fans would like to know. You don't seem that

happy that you've won? More than you would believe,

more than you would believe. Manchester still in the title race?

They are still in the title race. Just a little bit awkward,

and Jurgen Klopp wasn't too happy either, after Liverpool

twice threw away the lead Sadio Mane had put Liverpool 2-1 up,

but Jermaine Defoe's second penalty Liverpool stay second,

but are now five points behind Two points dropped for Liverpool,

too early to say that? I am not interested

in what people say. Could it be a precious point comes

the end of the season, Yes, as I said, if all the other

teams don't drop points, Everybody is a bit angry at the

moment. West Ham's Sofiane Feghouli

was sent-off as Manchester United The goals came from Juan Mata

and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. You couldn't see it from our shot,

but there was more than a whiff of offside.

Roger Federer made a winning return to tennis by helping Switzerland

to victory over Great Britain at the Hopman Cup, in Perth.

Federer beat Dan Evans to set his team up for a clean sweep.

They won both singles matches and the mixed doubles.

Federer hadn't played competitively since Wimbledon in the summer.

Michael van Gerwen has won his second World Darts

He beat reigning PDC Champion Gary Anderson 7-3

It wasn't all plain sailing for the Dutchman, though,

as just as he was throwing for the match at 6-2 up,

Security men quickly dealt with the prankster,

but it put van Gerwen off, delaying his coronation

It was worth the extra wait, though, as he claimed victory in style,

to take the ?350,000 prize, and end Anderson's hopes

That would put you off a little bit. Magic Mike has been just fantastic.

26 competition victories this year. And finally, less than a week

after announcing his retirement, He is swapping two wheels for a pair

of skis, by joining Channel 4's celebrity winter

sports show The Jump. Sir Bradley says skiing

is a big passion of his, and joins other sports stars such

as gymnast Louis Smith, Olympic taekwondo champion

Jade Jones, and former rugby internationals Gareth Thomas

and Jason Robinson in the line-up. I mean, well, you have to be

incredibly tough to do what he has done in cycling. To jump around a

little bit, are you a fan of the final? Do you know what, yes. My

first ever record was final. ABBA's Arrival. You are cooler than me. I

don't know about that. They are known and loved

for their scratchy and authentic sound, and the humble 12-inch's

popularity is continuing to boom. More than 3.2 million LPs

were sold last year, which is the highest

annual total since 1991. We have been to a record store,

to ask people there why I buy the music is like the physical

format. It is a cliche, it is nice to go home, read the cover. My

parents listen to vinyl and said you don't know what music is really like

until you listen to it on vinyl. It is really impressive how it has all

come back now. Has a nice feeling when you have spent half an hour in

a record store, and you find a gem. It is really satisfying. You get

more of a nice thing for your money. I think it sounds better, it is more

crackly, a better feel to it and it looks a bit cooler as well. You

could buy things years in the past and forget you have bought it, and

you come back to it and it all comes together quite well. So you can see

how your tastes have progressed. As soon as people come over to my

place, the first thing they look at is all the records. It is like a

conversational piece, really. It has become more than just that now. If

it was a fad, it would have finished. It is the noise, it is the

needle. So what does this rise mean

to the music industry? Vanessa Higgins founded

and runs her own record label. Vinyl is back. What do you think is

behind it all? It is interesting, if you look at the figures we had 3.8

million vinyl sales in 1991, and it declined until 2008. If ever there

was a financial event to change people's behaviour was in 2008. Ever

since then we have seen it increased an increase as more and more people

want that physical product when they are experiencing the music. How does

that work alongside, for example, streaming? This is the interesting

thing because people tend to think that the younger generation are

streaming, listening on digital and the more mature listeners use vinyl,

but both sides of the equation are embracing both sides of the music so

the more mature listener is embracing the streaming technology

and discovering new music that way and the younger listeners I'm sure,

anecdotally you will hear a lot of people got turntables for Christmas

this year and they are all buying vinyl. In terms of what is being

bought, when you look at the top ten it tends to be classic albums. Black

Star from David Bowie and Radiohead were the only ones in the top ten.

Some artists who died last year, Prince and the Beatles as well. Can

carry on? With streaming you can get something instantly in a new can go

local right away. Final by its nature takes time. As the markets

start to grow again the first albums you will see repressed are those

classics where there is appetite for people to buy them. What I am

looking forward to from an independent label point of view is

as more people are buying vinyl we can have more artists come through

that way. The new artist really want to use vinyl.

Prince came in at number nine on the list of top 50 LPs

Let's have a listen to one of his most famous songs,

# Purple rain, purple rain... Lots of people getting in touch. I forgot

it was purple. It is beautiful. So many people saying different things.

Pupils were told to have a record player in a drama scene and some did

not know what it was. That is the reality amongst some people. I

suppose so, but it is still only 5% of the album market, but it is

growing at such a rate that we haven't seen before. It is an

increase on last year. What about prices. They are more expensive if

you want to buy the vinyl version. That is true, more goes through to

the artist, so you are supporting them all. I hate to bring Brexit

into everything, but it affects prices. Queen's greatest hits, you

can get it much cheaper on CD. When you have coloured vinyl, nowadays

you can get digital prints and things you can't do before. So many

people getting in touch, one viewer has never been without final, and

always a pleasure to listen to it. There is a discussion of people not

liking today's music and why old Top Of The Pops is so popular. How does

it fit with old talent shows? Do you think that is where talent shows

will have to go to vinyl as well? That will be interesting to see. We

have some artists... I was about to bring up 1975 talent show artist is,

but new artists have broken through. We are seeing new artists coming

through and talent show artist will see music good enough to be sold on

vinyl. What about the cassette? If vinyl has had a comeback... I still

have the old mix tapes, will we see the rebirth of the C90? Someone last

you promised me that will happen, I don't think it will. I don't think

we will see that. People are missing out, pressing play and record, come

on! I don't think we are going to get that back, I'm afraid, except

maybe in a drama show. We will see you on about an hour as well. Do get

in touch as well. It is like being on the Starship Enterprise. I have

Parallel Lines by Blondie. We will see you a little bit later.

I hardly dare what this is? Is that a Komodo, Carol? No, this is a Fiji

iguana. She is shedding her skin. You can tell she is a girl because

she is mostly grain. I need to take you back to join Martin, one of the

zookeepers. He has a snake. This is as close as I'm getting. Tell us

about this snake. This is a Bones - from New Guinea. These are

fascinating. I don't know if you can see from a distance that you are

pointedly keeping -- bones -. -- python. They are small animals good

at sensing heat. You can tell the difference between males and females

by looking under this chin area. The females tend to have fewer black

scales in that area than males, a bit like a chessboard. They are

difficult to raise young from. We have about five upstairs we are

trying to breed from right now. Thank you. I am keeping a safe

distance. Better you than me. We are inside the reptile house, where it

is nice and warm. Outside it is cold. The forecast today is bright

and breezy. Having said that, there is more persistent rain across the

far north of Scotland. It will be windy. South, blue skies with low

temperatures. Some frost, and what this morning. It will be on the

grass, cars and trees. And the risk of ice on untreated services. By

nine o'clock, the temperature in London will be one degree. More

cloud across East Anglia but still sign. That persists across eastern

England. A bit of eastern Scotland Singh sunshine but generally more

cloud. With heavy rain across the far north of sunshine and patchy

rain across the west -- seeing sunshine. Brightness but showers

dotted around from Northern Ireland and the same for west England and

west Wales. More cloud with showers. South Wales and south-west England,

cold, sunny and frost. The risk of ice on untreated services. It will

be cloudy then yesterday today. -- surfaces. Cloud will build through

the day. Printer showers across Cheshire and north Wales. The rain

will be most persistent across the far north of Scotland. A Shetland,

bust of 70 mph. The sunshine will last longest across southern

England. -- gusts. Even so, no heat wave in prospect. Overnight, the

weather front bringing rain across Scotland slips southwards. Ahead of

it, cloud with breaks and early frost. Behind it, under clear skies,

cold but also windy. Windy in the north and windy in the east. We

start on that note tomorrow. Cold and frosty for some. The weather

front producing patchy rain continued to sink across England and

Wales through the day. The wind will be a feature especially down the

North Sea coastline. That will blow in some showers. Across Yorkshire,

Lincolnshire and East Anglia. It averages about where they should

beat the stage in January. For Thursday, a weather front from the

west will introduce rain. For central and eastern areas, drier and

brighter with fewer showers. Again, temperatures nothing to write home

about. As we head towards the end of the week, temperatures rise with

more cloud and rain as well. Thank you. We are enjoying the show around

London Zoo. I will not guess again. I knew I would get it wrong. Thank

goodness you were the experts. It was a good guess!

Do women pay more for similar products than men?

Campaigners say so after it was revealed that razor blades aimed

at women are more expensive than those for men.

Because they are pink, probably. Maybe. That is the crux of all of

this. Tesco trimmed the price of those

razors, but campaigners say it's just one example of

unfair gender pricing. Previously Tesco was charging

20p more for the blades marketed at women,

but they've shaved 10p off the price to bring them in line

with the equivalent men's product. But campaigners say it's just one

of many example of higher prices The Fawcett Society says women

will often pay a third more and over 10% more

than men for clothes. Stevie Wise is a campaigner on this

issue and set up a petition last year asking Boots to

review its pricing policy, which got more than

44,000 signatures. Good morning. Nice to see you. We

are talking about razorblades, but as I mentioned, it is just one

example, and you have come up with many other cases where women are

paying more than men for what are pretty similar if not identical

products. That's right. It is not just product, even. Sometimes it is

high Street services. When I first to the petition and was surprised by

how quickly it took off, that is because people found it resonated

because they could pick up so many different issues. I was constantly

receiving messages from people showing me examples of things. It is

not just races. The Fawcett Society's own research that this

action from Tesco is based on used equivalent products in multiple

supermarkets which were not just races. Toiletries, clothing. You

will find examples in high Street services like my air cut it short

like a lot of men, but mine will gust ?20 more in the same salon just

because I'm a woman, and there is nothing I can do about that --

thereat. What are the supermarkets saying? There are many identical

products manufactured in the same place that costs more to make, but

there is a difference in price? Why is that? Nobody knows. The retailers

will blame the manufacture any manufacturer will blame the real

talent. It is not clear who owns this decision. -- retailer. Who can

make this decision to make this change? What is brilliant about this

since the campaign started last year, this conversation happens more

and more and more, and now retailers and supermarkets are having to

respond to demands from customers, which is brilliant. Does this work

the other way around? Other examples when things are aimed at men and

cost more than women. Yes. In the Fawcett Society's research, I think

there was an example we could go to one of the top supermarket and buy a

pair of black trousers and it would be more expensive for men than

women. Still on average across all of the products, women are still

regularly paying more. There are individual examples where men will

pay more for equivalent products, but on the whole, women are still

affected more by this price difference. In the retailers

listening or starting to change? Superdrug change their prices

shortly after Bids change theirs, and they have done some work around

taking the tampon tax away from customers, which is fantastic --

thereat. They are responding to demands from their majority feel our

customers and doing what we asked them to do, which is great -- Boots.

Thank you. That is all from. More after eight o'clock. Very

interesting that things are beginning change. Thank you. It is

New Year. If you're missing Strictly Come
