11/01/2017 Breakfast

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

President Obama says farewell to the American people.

In his final speech as President, he warned of threats to democracy

from inequality and racism - but after eight years in charge,

says he's leaving the United Stated "better and stronger".

Good morning, it's Wednesday, the 11th of January.

A 15-year-old girl is charged with the murder of 7-year-old

A warning from the Royal College of Physicians that lives

are being put at risk by NHS underfunding -

while experts in health and social care say MPs from all parties need

A quarter of workers say money worries are stopping them

doing their job properly because of sleepless nights

And it's not just affecting those on lower incomes.

In sport, it's one step closer to a cup final for Manchester

They beat Hull City 2-0 in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.

And this is the incredible trick shot which has caused a sensation

It's two minutes long and you really don't want to miss it.

We are starting off with a very windy day. Windy for all day for

most of us. Storms locally and severe gales for some. Sunshine

further south but tomorrow, parts of the South will also have sleet and

snow. Barack Obama has delivered his

farewell address as US President, telling the American people

he believes the country is in a better, stronger place

than when he was first elected In an emotional speech in Chicago,

he thanked his wife Michelle as well as his family

and staff and said he still believed in the ability of people

to deliver change. However, he admitted progress

had not gone far enough as our US correspondent

Laura Trevelyan now reports. Barack Obama returned to Chicago,

the place where his political career began, to deliver his long planned

farewell address. The president used his platform to underline what he

sees as his achievements. If I told you wait years ago that America

would reverse a great recession, reboot our auto industry, and

unleash the longest stretch of job creation in our history. CHEERING

AND APPLAUSE. If I told you we would open up a new chapter with the Cuban

people, shutdown Iran's nuclear weapons programme without firing a

shot, take out the mastermind of 911, if I had told you we would win

marriage equality and secure the right to health insurance for

another 20 million of our fellow citizens... CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

If I told you all that, you might have said our sites were set a

little too high. Turning to his theme of what could undermine

America's democracy. The American's first black president was frank

about race relations. After my election, there was talk of a post-

racial America. Subdivision, however well in tenanted, was never

realistic. -- intended. Race remains a potent and often divisive force in

our society. Paying tribute to his wife Michelle and daughters, the

president became emotional. For those who had lined up for hours to

hear him speak in person, the effort was worthwhile.

Laura, what has the reaction been to the President's speech?

There was no direct reference to Donald Trump but there have been

some developments involving the President-elect, haven't there?

How has the speech gone down? Supporters are still here, having a

dream, mulling over it. They are depressed after the election of

Donald Trump and felt that Barack Obama chartered a way forward for

them -- like having a drink. But they need to defend American

democracy against political apathy, fake news, corrosive political

culture. This speech was not just aimed at Barack Obama's supporters

but all Americans and also the President-elect Donald Trump and the

President said very clearly that progress has been made but we must

protect our rights as Americans. You mentioned Donald Trump that resident

Obama did not mention him by name. The President elect is in the news

again or is he would term, the fake news again -- President Obama. US

media are reporting that Russian spy agencies have embarrassing

information about the President-elect Donald Trump that is

personally compromising. US media is reporting this quoting unnamed

sources. They are also reporting that US intelligence agencies that

done with Mr Trump privately and told them about this allegation is

that apparently Russian spy agencies have. Mr Trump has responded in his

signature way, on Twitter, he said fake news and it's a political

witch-hunt. Remember that Donald Trump is in hot water in Washington

for disparaging US Russian agencies that intelligence agencies that

Russian officials attempted to affect the outcome of the election.

We'll be speaking to US political analyst Eric Ham

A 15-year-old girl has been charged with the murder

Katie Rough died in hospital on Monday

after being found with serious injuries near a playing field

The teenager is due to appear before magistrates later this morning.

Senior doctors are warning that a shortage of resources may leave

the NHS in England unable to cope with this winter's demand.

In a letter to Theresa May, the Royal College of Physicians said

the quality of patient care is under threat.

Charities working with elderly and disabled people

have also written to the Prime Minister -

calling for a long-term solution to funding for health

Here's our Health correspondent Robert Pigott.

The Royal College of Physicians said ambulances queueing outside

hospitals were visual testament to the crisis in the NHS.

The Royal College, which represents 33,000 specialist hospital doctors,

said patients based lengthening waits on lists, on trolleys,

in accident and emergency departments and at home.

It blamed a shortage of qualified staff, stretched too thin lead

Our members fear that people's lives are at risk because they can't get

round to see the patients that aren't yet in the emergency

department or indeed are waiting for results to come back.

Members and fellows have been writing in and our council members

specifically have said to me this is the worst they have ever seen.

Most urgent, said the doctors, is investment in social care

to prevent medically fit patients being trapped in hospitals.

In their own letter to the Prime Minister,

75 charities and individuals working in health and social care said

there must be a long-term cross-party solution

to what they called the crisis in funding.

Led by the charity Independent Age, they said:

The Department of Health said it had invested ?10 billion

to develop health services and relieve pressure on hospitals.

And, since last year, had recruited 3,000 extra nurses

Meanwhile, plans to extend access to GPs in England are in "complete

disarray" according to the British Medical Association.

The comment follows a report by the National Audit Office

which urges ministers to reconsider plans to increase

weekend and evening access to family doctors in England.

It says many GPs are already struggling to provide existing

The Department of Health says it's promised additional funding

A white supremacist, Dylann Roof, has been sentenced to death

for the racist killing of nine black men and women at a church

The 22-year-old opened fire during a bible studies class.

He rejected a final chance to plead for his life,

telling the jury he felt he "had to carry it out".

A pedestrian has died in Brighton after being knocked down by a car

It happened last night when police say a Vauxhall Astra

failed to stop and was pursued by officers.

The car hit a person on St James's Street -

the force is still trying to trace the driver.

A 29-year old British woman has been killed and two others are seriously

injured after a light aircraft crashed in Australia.

The plane came down on a remote beach in

The pilot, a man in his sixties, was taken to hospital in a serious

condition and a 13-year-old boy has been treated for minor injuries.

For the first time, the Attorney General will set out

the legal factors that need to be considered before military action

is taken against terror suspects abroad.

In a speech, Jeremy Wright QC will say the UK must have the right

to use lethal force in self-defence in order

Technology. In many ways it makes life easier for us but also easier

for those who want to make -- do us harm to stop that is the warning

from the government's top legal advice. Spies like those at GCHQ can

gather intelligence and worn if an attack is likely. The law all of the

UK to use force and self defence if it is attacked but also to prevent

an attack before it happens. On that basis, the UK used one of these, and

unmanned drone, to kill a British jihadist in Syria in September 20

15. Riyadh Khan from Cardiff was the target and the second UK National,

also died. They said it was lawful because Khan was involved in a plot

to carry out a high-profile attack in the summer. There were demands of

the government to clarify the legal basis for carrying out pre-emptive

strikes against Islamic State militants. The attorney general,

Jeremy Wright QC, will now explain for the first time how such

decisions are made. The considerations include how certain

it is that an attack will happen, how soon it will be and on what

scale. Whether anything else could be done to prevent the attack and

whether it is the last clear opportunity to do so. Undoubtedly,

the UK government has the technology to carry out effective and deadly

strikes that it must justify doing so within the limits of the law. Ben

Bland, BBC News. The latest strike by Southern train

drivers has entered a second day The walk-out is due to finish

at midnight but four further strike Yesterday only 16 of over 2,000

scheduled services ran. The dispute which has been

going on for nearly ten months This next bit of footage

is pretty extraordinary. The pictures come from a camera

attached to the neck of a female polar bear and shows two bears

breaking through ice sheets The US Geological Survey hopes it'll

help researchers better understand how the animals are responding

to declining sea ice levels. You can kind of workout what is

happening there. Did you never polar bears only come together to make and

it? And that's it? Lonely life. Not much you can say about that, is

there? Anyway, moving on. Before you speak.

Could this be the best trick shot of all time?

A bar in Bristol has pulled off an incredible feat involving

a golf club, two flights of stairs and ten pool tables.

It's around 500ft long, took 11 hours to set up

After travelling down the stairs, the ball is perfectly aimed to hit

a succession of pool balls that cross between different tables

Over a million people have watched the clip online.

We will have the man who created it on the programme later

on so you will have to wait until then to find out

The best news is, we have them and who created it. There is a table set

up over there. Which I would like to keep forever. No, I would like to

keep it forever. And we have our own trick shot coming up. There is six

balls to pot in each pocket and I have had one go, too goes and so

far, I have got five out of six. Improvement required, is the answer.

Anyway, we are excited about that. It's looking like a pub in the

corner. Low-level lighting and a pool table. Very cosy and very nice

indeed. Mariana Fellini having a late start,

but doing his bit. It is coming to the business and now. They are on a

bit of a run, finally. Things coming good for Jose Mourinho.

Manchester United are a step closer to the League Cup Final.

They beat Hull City 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-final

but Wayne Rooney missed the chance to become

Fifa president Gianni Infantino has told the BBC he thinks the quality

of an expanded World Cup will improve as smaller nations get

48 teams will contest the tournament from 2026.

He said decision was not financially motivated.

Lord Coe, the president of athletics world governing body the IAAF,

will be asked to give more evidence to MP's as part of their inquiry

It's after a former athlete told a committee he had called

and e-mailed Coe to warn him about the scandal.

And after almost 150 years of horse-racing,

Kempton Park is set to be closed to make way for around

It's part of a plan to raise 500 million for British racing over

And Jehanabad want to make -- Jehanabad on -- Johanna Konta is

playing at the moment in Sydney. We will keep you up-to-date.

You are the master! That have a look at the front pages

of the papers this morning. The Times, Number 10 blames NHS chief as

chaos grows in hospitals. We will have a look at that later today as

we speak to a doctor. The picture is of the head of a gallery in

Manchester, who is to become the Tate's first female director.

The front page of the Telegraph. They talk about Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour's migration policy in chaos. He reversed his position on free

movement just after saying his party would oppose uncontrolled migration

to the UK. Lots of things he said yesterday and the papers going

through it. This is a rather lovely photograph. The Daily Telegraph

reporter who broke the news, what an incredible thing to do, of Hitler's

1939 invasion of Poland. She has died at the age of 105. An amazing

picture, an amazing journalist. Inspirational. One more. The Daily

Express has a picture of -10 at their main story, snow alert. Army

on standby as Met Office worn extreme weather on the way.

They love the Arctic blast! There is cold weather on the way.

Can I show you this? This is my favourite story. Keeping with the

call him. If you go down to Eastbourne to the shopping centre

you will find it is still in full Christmas swing because they can't

turn off the Christmas lights. The company that has installed them has

gone bust. They plugged them into the mains, so if they want to turn

off the Christmas lights they have to turn off all of the other lights

in a shopping centre as well, so it means basically they are stuck with

this Christmas lights unless everyone will shop in the dark.

What an extraordinary story! Isn't it bad luck to have the lights on

after the 12th? I probably wouldn't want to go down there in!

I have Maria Sharapova in a lot of the papers. More accusations that

the world of tennis is giving her special treatment. You will remember

she was banned for 15 months for taking a banned substance. That ban

runs out on the 26th of April, which is midway through the tournament,

she has been given a wild card. They say as Belletti doesn't come to the

site before April the 26th she can play her first match midway through

the tournament. -- as long as she doesn't. So the schedule will be

rearranged around her. That never goes down well. No, so a

lot of complaints about how she did take a banned substance. She says

she didn't know it was banned and she didn't need to do it and she has

been banned for drugs cheating for 15 months. But there does seem to be

a lot of... The organiser of this tournament has called it a fabulous

present and a lot of the high profile sponsors have stood by her

during the ban. I've lost my wedding ring on a beach

and found it in a puddle, amazingly. Horrorstruck husband found himself

facing real-life needle in a haystack. He lost his wedding ring

in a barn full of straw and spent two weeks looking for it.

And he found it! He used a metal detector. Mine comes

off on my issue a lot. You know, when you take it. I think I've lost

weight on my fingers for some reason.

All of that dancing! That is some vigorous arm action.

Quite a sight. This we need to see.

There is so much interesting stuff to talk about in the weather.

What's going on? For starters it is very windy. The highest gust we have

seen overnight is 120 -- 129 mph. Today it is gales we are looking at.

A very windy day, which could lead to some travel disruption. You can

find out what's happening where you are on your BBC local radio station

forced to there are some restrictions in places. We've got

some wintry showers and sleet and slow across the moor of Scotland,

towards the Central Lowlands. Some of that getting down to low levels.

Blizzards in the hills. Hill snow in the Pennines and very windy. Windy

across Northern Ireland, and Wales. Also windy in the Midlands and into

east Anglia. Further south also windy, especially along the coast,

but not as windy as further north. In the far north we have storm force

winds. Elsewhere, severe gales or gales, to take extra care. The

current drizzle we have will die out and we have sunshine coming through

in England and Wales, but we hang onto the wintry showers are ignored.

Overnight we get down to lower levels. Some getting to lower levels

in northern England and Northern Ireland. Remember those showers. Too

much wind for frost, but there will be ice to watch out for. Then we

have the next system coming in from the west. This will be causing us a

lot of headache, as to the positioning. Also pulling in strong

winds from a cold direction, the north and north-west, so straight

down from the Arctic. Where the cold air and rain in gauge is where we

have snow. Initially tomorrow you can see it coming through Wales, the

Moors, towards Salisbury Plains, and towards the south-east. Then

eventually in evening it will push through the rest of east Anglia and

into Kent. Then clearing into the near continent. Not all of us will

necessarily see this. Some of us could have up to two centimetres of

snow, some of us locally up to ten centimetres. That's the south. In

the north, if we go back in time a little bit, we continue with wintry

showers again, sleet and snow, some to lower levels, under and lightning

as well. We were talking about thunder and snow yesterday. Entry

showers across northern England and Northern Ireland. You will see some

of those wintry showers also at lower levels as we mentioned. You

will notice tomorrow in the wind it will feel cold. Despite the fact

that temperatures are above freezing for most of us it will feel below

freezing. So that's what tomorrow is like. You can see the back edge of

this low pressure taking the snow with it. We then moved to a

northerly wind. A cold direction for us. Still bringing in wintry

showers. The other thing you will notice it will be very windy, with

gales down the east coast. Any showers are likely to be wintry in

nature again. But they are showers, so not all of us will see them. A

mixture of rain, sleet and snow, but we have large waves and there is the

risk of some minor coastal flooding. Something else to watch out for. A

lot going on with the weather in the next couple of days.

Thank you for that. Very windy this morning on my way to work.

I do if you treat down on the roads as well. And we have some news about

homes in Newcastle. 2300 homes without power due to high winds.

They won't be able to hear that because we won't have their

televisions on. We will keep you up-to-date. Thanks

for being with us on this Wednesday morning.

More needs to be done to help families living with dementia

That's the finding of the first academic study looking at how

the condition affects those in the countryside.

It's called for more support services and training

and help from the local community itself, as John Maguire has

The bucolic duty of our rural landscapes and communities often

mask some of the challenges of living here. The isolation, the lack

of services and the scarcity of support. In the first report of its

kind, limit university has studied the impact of dementia in the

countryside and what should be done to help. -- Plymouth University.

Things like support networks with other families who are going through

a similar situation would be enormously helpful. Some of our

family said, to help them cope. Perhaps not in the local area,

perhaps somebody else upcountry so you don't have that public sort of

-- that confidential allergies maintained. It isn't your

neighbours. It affects the whole family. We are meeting this farmer

and his mother. Her husband Eric had dementia for the last ten years of

his life. The old adage is that farmers never retire, they keep

going, and he certainly wanted... He still wanted to do what he could,

but still had quite an impact on us, particularly from the carer side of

it, because you are providing the care, mum. It started about 15 years

ago and when Eric was diagnosed at least he went to daycare two days a

week and that was a great help. The university report has several key

recommendations, among them, where possible, farmers should plan ahead

for serious illness. Councils, health and other agencies should

co-ordinate to offer support and there should be more dementia

awareness training. This memory cafe in the town of Ashburton is run by

volunteers from the Rotary club. It offers in relation for patients and

respite for carers and, elsewhere, there is a specialist -- specialist

help available. Form filling, or farm inspections, just to make sure

they aren't missing out financially as well, and we can also offer

practical help on arms if they are struggling maybe to do tasks like TB

testing. Our volunteers can make sure we can go on the farm and do

practical things as well to help in the short term. Ian chairs the rule

dementia group. It is simple solutions. Sometimes as a community

or culture you go from radical strategies. Strategies went change

this world, prime ministers won't, we will in our rural community and

we will have to do it ourselves. Dementia can be cruel and

devastating, this report says it doesn't have to be suffered in

silence. Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment, If there is a reason why I am

standing here, it is because of our Maudy.

The incredibly moving moment when the actor Jason Watkins

dedicated his BAFTA to the memory of his daughter.

We'll be speaking to Jason about bereavement and how he wants

more support for families in the same situation.

But now a summary of this morning's main news.

The key thing is, they tried every single bit of that shot 120 times.

We have tried powers... Twice. -- ours.

Barack Obama has delivered his farewell address as US President.

In an emotional speech in Chicago, he said he believed the country

was in a better, stronger place than when he was first elected

The President admitted progress had not gone far enough but called

on the American people to put aside their differences and help

I am asking you to hold fast to that faith written into our founding

documents, the whisper by slaves and abolitionists, the song sung by

Homestead is and those who marched for Justice, the creed reaffirmed by

those who planted flags from foreign battlefields to the surface of the

moon, agreed at the core of every American whose story is not yet

written. Yes, we can. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Killam yes we. -- yes, we

can, yes, we did. We'll be speaking to US political

analyst Eric Ham from Washington Overnight, another tweak happened.

It was Donald Trump tweeting about fake news.

Donald Trump says he is the victim of a "political

witch hunt" after allegations against him were published

Unconfirmed reports have emerged in the American media that Russian

intelligence agencies have gathered compromising information

In a Tweet, Mr Trump did not refer directly to the stories

but complained fake news had been published.

football. Manchester United will take a 2-0

advantage into the second leg of their EFL Cup Semi-Final

against Hull City. Wayne Rooney couldn't find the goal

which would have made him United's all time top scorer

but Juan Mata put them ahead The second came late

on when Marouane Fellaini headed Liverpool go to Southampton

for the first leg of Jurgen Klopp was criticised

for the young team he fielded in the FA Cup but is expected

to bring back his big players As long as you are involved, it is

the most important cup, as you can imagine. That is how we see it and

so, it is Southampton, for example if you want to talk about intensity,

they had a more intense time than we had so there is no advantage for one

side. You have to find a way of playing.

The Fifa President says expanding the World Cup will improve

After a vote yesterday, an extra 16 teams will take part

in 2026, making 48 in total, and Gianni Infantino believes bigger

It is time to open to the world competition for the world. A

celebration like the World Cup. It makes the world stand still and

focus on an event. If we look at how football has developed in the last

decade, the last years as well in particular, we can see that the

quality of football has become higher and higher all over the

world. 14-time Paralympic gold-medallist

that seven weeks notice for the Track World

Championships was not enough. The UCI announced yesterday

the event would take place in Los Angeles from March the second

criticised for some of his answers to those investigating

wrongdoing in the sport, including questions over the medical

records of one of his highest profile riders -

Sir Bradley Wiggins. It's regrettable, I think, but

equally I think over the test of time, we will continue to perform at

the highest level in the right way and get people a reason to get

behind us and feel proud of our achievements and give them a team

they can be proud of and support. Lord Coe, the president of athletics

world governing body the IAAF, will be asked to give more evidence

to MP's as part of their inquiry Coe told a Select Committee

in December 2015 that he was unaware of any specific allegations

about the extent of Russian doping but former athlete Dave Bedford told

the same committee yesterday, that he'd called and e-mailed Coe

to warn him about the scandal. We're unlikely to ever see

Rory McIlroy compete The world number two in golf pulled

out of the Rio Games, and has said he probably won't take

part in Tokyo 2020 either. The fact that he could represent

either Great Britain or Ireland More and more likely than not I

won't be playing for the games in 2020. Not the Olympic Games, I think

they are great and I think golf included in the Olympics is

fantastic but for me, it's something I don't want to get into and that's

a personal choice. After almost 150 years

of horse-racing, Kempton Park is set to be closed to make way for around

three thousand new homes. Should the proposal go ahead,

the proposal is "for the long-term good of British racing" and is part

of plans to raise ?500m to invest And Johanna Konta has just one. Has

she? Great news. We will bring you pictures of that in the next hour.

From growing the economy to removing Osama Bin Laden.

Barack Obama used his farewell address to set out what he regards

as his major achievements during his eight years in office.

We will cross over to Washington to assess his legacy in a moment,

but first let's take a look at one of the key moments

After my election, there was talk of a post- racial America and such a

vision, however well intended, was never realistic. Race remains a

potent and often divisive force in our society. Now, I have lived long

enough to know that race relations are better than they were ten or 20

or 30 years ago, no matter what some folks say. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

You can see it not just in statistics, you see it in the

attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum.

Joining us from Washington now is US political analyst Eric Ham.

Good morning. Good to speak to you. I know you will have watched this

closely. What do you think? Very interesting speech. He touched on so

many areas. What will be his long-lasting legacy? It has to be

that he was a trailblazer. I mean, we cannot deny the fact that he was

the first African-American elected to the highest office in the land.

You have two also remember that when he came into office, we were going

through the greatest, I think, economic term that this country has

ever seen since the Great Depression. We were haemorrhaging

over 800,000 jobs per month. Barack Obama came in and single-handedly

saved the automobile industry. He actually took us from a major job

loss to now where we are actually bringing in new jobs into this

country. He actually tried to be a unifier but he did didn't get the

support from Congress. I think it will be seen as a trailblazer and

make no mistake, history will be very kind to this president. He was

also, in some ways, a call to arms. I have done this work and now it is

over to you. It was. And also, too, one thing about Barack Obama, he

has, I think, an amazing understanding and he believes in

people. One thing about the speech today that came out very clear was

that he believed democracy is on the brink and it needs to be pulled

back. I believe that many of the statements he made were directed at

Donald Trump and I do believe he wants to see an America reach its

highest ideals, reach its full potential. I believe he thinks that

with Donald Trump at the helm, that might be a problem. I think that

this was not only a farewell speech at a rallying of the troops to say,

look, there is much more work to be done. Let's also talk about the

President elect. There is a breaking news, really, overnight, from

America. It is about information that media reports have that the

Russians may have on him. Can you explain to us what the latest

revelation is? There is an intelligence briefing that he had

last week with intelligence agencies and part of this briefing was a

2-page dossier memo that suggested that maybe not Donald Trump directly

but surrogates and aides of Donald Trump have been working and had

maybe provided information to these aids and that some of them

interacting with Russian embassies said they had damaging information

on Donald Trump. None of this has been confirmed that it is something

that is out there and I believe that given the fact the various

intelligence agencies are long with the FBI are saying that Russia

played a role in our election process, these latest allegations

are something you will begin to see more senators, more congressmen,

from both the Right and left, looking for and focusing more

attention on and looking to investigate in a more in-depth and

detailed way. Thank you for explaining it. Also Donald Trump,

first thing Donald Trump tweets about is fake news.

Fellini yes and this is something you have to understand about Trump

and his team. Any time we bring up Russian hacking they see this as an

opportunity to somehow dispute the notion that he's president or

somehow that his is tainted. But many people accept that Donald Trump

is the President-elect, but recognise that there are issues,

there are problems, especially with Russia that need to be addressed. So

I think that something that lawmakers are looking... And I think

the intelligence community would like to see Donald Trump take a more

proactive approach to addressing and I think only time will tell if he

will do that. Thanks for your time, as always. You bet. Fascinating. I

love the way American guests finish their interviews with "you bet".

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

It is one of those mornings where I could hear the weather before I saw

it. Yes, and over the next few days some

of us will have sleek and snow. We could have some icy roads to look

out for. Gales is the story of the day. Very strong winds through the

night. We still have them and will carry on with them. These are the

latest bus. So if you are travelling this morning, do take extra care.

There is likely to be some disruption. There is already in

places. You could find branches down, et cetera. Across Scotland it

is windy. Storm force in the north, severe gales. The black circles

indicate the gust of wind come up plus wintry showers. We've got a

rain showers and windy across Northern Ireland. Some snow showers

and fairly windy across northern England. India -- windy along the

coastal approaches. Still windy in the south of England, are not as

windy as everywhere else. Through the day as well as the wind the

cloud will break up and we will have sunshine. As it turned colder

through the day we will have wintry showers, even getting down to lower

levels. The highest temperatures are coming down as we go through the

day. In the evening and overnight there will be the risk of ice on

untreated surfaces. Wintry showers more prolific in Scotland. Then

another batch comes in across Northern Ireland. A lot of this in

the hills. Sleet and snow at lower levels as well. Then we've got the

next system coming in across the south-west. This is problematic. The

exact positioning is important because as it engages with the cold,

Arctic air that's where we are likely to see snow. This is what we

think at the moment, as it could drift further south. Tomorrow a lot

of rain, the risk of flooding locally. It comes in across Wales,

the Moors, towards the Home Counties, across London, the

south-east and towards Kent. But it could be a little bit further south.

Some of us see up to two centimetres of snow. Locally, ten centimetres.

Variable. In the north we've got snow showers packing in across

Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. Some of them at

lower levels. Blizzards in the mountains. But showers, so not all

of us will see them. In between there will be sunshine, but it will

feel cold. Wherever you are, although temperatures are the

freezing, for most of us it will feel more like low freezing. As we

head on through the rest of Thursday and into Friday there goes the low

pressure, taking the snow away from it. The wind moves to a northerly

and with a north-westerly component. In the Friday a lot of dry weather

around. Any showers are likely to be wintry in nature. The thing up large

waves in the wind. Some parts of eastern England could see some

localised coastal flooding. So a lot going on. There really is. Thank

you. It is affecting things out and about as well. There was a lorry

crash on a bridge. High winds reported in the area. Drivers being

asked to take alternative routes this morning. It will cause

difficulty and traffic issues this morning. We will keep you

up-to-date. Also, many of you may have been kept awake last night

worrying about money. I went straight to sleep, actually,

but it is on many people's minds. I do concern myself with it on other

occasions. Straight, sound asleep. I was kept

awake by the wind last night. Yes, it is in the wind are good sleep

that is worrying many people. It is money and it's a study from nearly

2000 staff showing it isn't just people on the waiting comes that are

worried about money. Charles Cotton's team did this

research and he's with me. You've done this study, looking at

the fact that people have been kept awake last night, worry -- worrying

about what they are earning. Let's take a look at some

of the main points coming out A fifth of those worried

about their money It has got to that stage? Yes, in

total about one in four employees said that money concerns was

impacting their ability to do their job, by the lack of sleep or just

not able to focus at work or taking time out of the office to deal with

money concerns. To be clear, these are people who are already working,

so not someone worried about getting a job. People who are in work,

worried about being paid enough? Yes, being paid enough to kind of

meet basic living standards and whether they are being awarded

fairly, in comparison to their work colleagues or whether they have the

opportunity to save for their futures. It had a look -- have a

look at who is affected. A third of 18-24-year-olds

are reporting cash-flow concerns. They are worried they aren't being

paid enough. Yes, it might be young people, some might be students so

they are worried about student debts, also getting onto the

property ladder or saving for a deposit, or saving for their future

pension. And it isn't people who are just on low incomes that are most

concerned, it is everybody and especially those who are earning a

substantial amount of money are still worrying whether it's enough.

Even high earners have money problems, but there is a case of not

so much the amount of money but finding time to manage their

finances, finding time to get the best deals and understanding how it

has been used. We've seen a lot of initiatives, like the national

minimum wage, all that sort of thing, to address people at the

bottom of the scale. What can firms be doing? It isn't just a case of

paying people more. Obviously, especially at this time of economic

uncertainty, any firms perhaps don't have the money anyway to increase

salaries, but there are steps they can take. One is to look at training

and development opportunities for employees, to have skills to

progress up the career ladder. It is looking at how they can make their

employees be more financially sound by giving them access to financial

advice and information and guidance and finally it is perhaps going

around and doing local deals with firms in your area, yet discounts

for your staff from hairdressers, from local clinics, the gym, things

like that, the -- to help spread the money better. Very interesting.

intended, was never realistic. Race remains a potent and often

lined up for hours to hear him speak in person,

the effort was worthwhile. I thought it was very uplifting and

it gave up a message of hope -- that gave us a message. It was what we

needed to hear right now. Leigh we had a tough election and we just

need to keep fighting for the courses. Barack Obama's supporters

were hardened by his uplifting message to night and he leaves

American voters from choosing Donald Trump to replace him and now Barack

Katie Rough died in hospital on Monday

after being found with serious injuries near a playing field

The teenager is due to appear before magistrates later this morning.

Senior doctors are warning that a shortage of resources may leave

the NHS in England unable to cope with this winter's demand.

In a letter to Theresa May, the Royal College of Physicians said

the quality of patient care is under threat.

Charities working with elderly and disabled people

have also written to the Prime Minister -

calling for a long-term solution to funding for health

Here's our Health correspondent Robert Pigott.

The Royal College of Physicians said ambulances queueing outside

hospitals were visual testament to the crisis in the NHS.

The Royal College, which represents 33,000 specialist hospital doctors,

said patients faced lengthening waits on lists, on trolleys,

in accident and emergency departments and at home.

It blamed a shortage of qualified staff, stretched too thin lead

Our members fear that people's lives are at risk because they can't get

round to see the patients that aren't yet in the emergency

department or indeed are waiting for results to come back.

Members and fellows have been writing in and our council members

specifically have said to me this is the worst they have ever seen.

Most urgent, said the doctors, is investment in social care

to prevent medically fit patients being trapped in hospitals.

In their own letter to the Prime Minister,

75 charities and individuals working in health and social care said

there must be a long-term cross-party solution

to what they called the crisis in funding.

Led by the charity Independent Age, they said:

The Department of Health said it had invested ?10 billion

to develop health services and relieve pressure on hospitals.

And, since last year, had recruited 3,000 extra nurses

Meanwhile, plans to extend access to GPs in England are in "complete

disarray" according to the British Medical Association.

The comment follows a report by the National Audit Office

which urges ministers to reconsider plans to increase

weekend and evening access to family doctors in England.

It says many GPs are already struggling to provide existing

The Department of Health says it's promised additional funding

In the last moments, we heard about how supermarkets have done. Today,

Sainsbury's. We heard about how they did over the important Christmas

period. Bainbridge told us that sales were up by 0.1%. Compare that

to the 2.90 suggested they. You start to get a picture of it. Same

breeze, to be clear, up 0.1% over the Christmas period. It also is at

Argus, they did very well. They did well at things like Black Friday and

all the discounts before the Christmas period. Good news for

them. If you look at Sainsbury's, sales of clothing did well. It was

up by 10%. They have talked already a about the warning, a similar

warning we got yesterday from Morrisons and we have had it also

from Next, prices going up in the New Year. They are worried about the

devaluation in the pound and what it means for stuff we buy overseas.

They say the market is very competitive and the devaluation of

the pound. Sales up 0.1% and up 4% at Argus. More during the week as

well. Tomorrow is a big day. We have Tesco as well. Are you on tomorrow?

Your Mac I am. --I am. For the first time,

the Attorney General will set out the legal factors that need to be

considered before military action is taken against terror

suspects abroad. In a speech, Jeremy Wright QC

will say the UK must have the right to use lethal force

in self-defence in order In many ways it makes life easier

for us but also easier That is the warning

from the government's Spies like those at GCHQ can gather

intelligence and warn The law allows the UK to use force

and self defence if it is attacked but also to prevent

an attack before it happens. On that basis, the UK used one

of these, an unmanned drone, to kill a British jihadist

was the target and a second UK At the time, ministers said

it was lawful because Khan was involved in a plot

to carry out a high-profile There were demands for

the government to clarify the legal basis for carrying out pre-emptive

strikes against Islamic State The attorney general,

Jeremy Wright QC, will now explain for the first time how

such decisions are made. The considerations include how

certain it is that an attack will happen, how soon it

will be and on what scale. Whether anything else could be done

to prevent the attack and whether it is the last clear

opportunity to do so. Undoubtedly, the UK

government has the technology to carry out effective and deadly

strikes but it must justify doing These black-and-cream gibbons live

in the NHS have been laid bare today. Those letters, one from the

Royal College of physicians and another from the Royal College of

nursing and carers UK are pretty damning of the government's

treatment of problems. The RCP says we are treating more patients than

ever before and are NHS is underfunded, under doctored and

under is -- overstretched. The Independent Age collective says

"unless you adopt a bolder approach millions of older, ill and disabled

documents leaked to BBC News revealed record numbers of patients

are facing long waits in A - nearly a quarter waited longer

than the four hour target. This week the Health Secretary

Jeremy Hunt suggested that target may have to be relaxed -

and said No ten had provided We can talk to Dr Adrian Boyle,

who's an A consultant and a member of the Royal College of Emergency

Medicine. morning. Thank you so much for your

time. You work in this industry. Tell us what emergency is like at

the moment for you and your staff. It is very pressured. We have

reports from all around the country, that people can't offload people

from ambulances. People are working under huge pressure. They aren't

able to give the care they want to. People are being treated in

corridors and even when people are being assessed they have a long way

to get into the hospital. How does it make you feel when you hear

stories about people waiting on trolleys for 12 hours? When we hear

them we think, how can that happen? When you as a doctor here that, how

does that make you feel? It is demoralising. People want to be able

to go to work and do the best possible job they can. That means

treating them in an environment that is dignified and supportive. If you

are looking after someone in a trolley it is actually really

demoralising if they are waiting there and you walk past them and

they are still there all the time. It has a very corrosive effect on

morale and resilience. Giving the Red -- given what you have said, do

you think what the Red Cross have said is an over exaggeration? It is

certainly a crisis and this has been building for a number of years. It

is particularly acute at this time of year when we have had

accommodation of a cold snap, possibly some flu going around and

all the pressures of the winter break. But this isn't something that

has come out of the blue. We spoke to Jeremy Hunt on Monday and later

on that day he spoke about the four-hour waiting time at emergency.

Would you be in favour of the changes he has suggested? The thing

that is a good way forward? Absolutely not. We are generally

very behind the four-hour target. Just because you don't like the

result doesn't mean you can't change the rules of the game. It isn't a

perfect standard by any means, but it's a useful standard. Trying to

say you will only apply it to selected people wouldn't work. If

you actually applied it to the people who need it most, the people

coming to hospital, the sick, very ill and people with conflicts needs,

the performance would drop very much. -- complex needs. People who

shouldn't be there are actually treated very quickly and easily. We

think they are a bit less than 30% of the workflow, but not 30% of the

total work we have to give those people. It is more like 5%. What

changes would you make if you could, especially to emergency? We need to

create an environment where it makes it better for people to go to work

and give good care. We need urgently to have more beds within the

hospitals and within social care systems, so we don't... We can

actually get patients promptly from an emergency department into

hospital. Where do those beds come from? Is that extra funding, a

change to the system? Absolutely extra funding. With that letter

today about the problems we are seeing in hospitals, they are spot

on. We need more funding and also for social care. Actually getting

patients out of hospital, safely and properly into the right sort of

care, will have huge benefits. We appreciate your time this morning.

Lots of you will have noticed it was pretty windy last night.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

Good morning. In the next 24 hours what we are looking at is sleet and

snow for some of us. Some of us have this already. Icy roads and also

gables. Gail is what we have today. It could lead to travel disruption.

It has already. Some temperatures have restrictions. Watch out for

some branches of trees careering down the road. The black circles

indicate the wind gusts. Across Scotland, storm force in the north,

severe gales. Blizzards in the hills. Across Northern Ireland it is

rain showers. Very windy. Northern England, especially the Pennines.

Watch out on the M62 for example. Windy around the coasts, with

showers. Windy in the Midlands and into east Anglia. Southern England

isn't as windy as it is further north. It will remain windy as we go

through the day. The snow showers continue across Scotland. Sleet and

snow, some in the lower levels. But they are showers, so not all of us

will see them. Maximum temperatures going down. Through the evening and

overnight there is the risk of some ice on untreated surfaces. If

anything the snow showers become more prolific in Northern Ireland,

more than England and Wales. Then the next troublemaker comes in. The

low pressure is moving from the west towards this. There is still an

element of doubt as to how far north it grows and that's important

because as the rain engages with the cold, Arctic air that's when we are

likely to see snow. Before that happens a lot of rain will push

across the south, which could lead to surface water, and then here

comes the snow across South Wales, the Moors, heading eastwards across

southern counties into the Midlands, through London, east Anglia and

taught the south coast. Later that will push away through Kent. The

snow might be further south. So don't make this the last weather

forecast you watch. Some could get two centimetres, some ten

centimetres. At the other end of the country, for Scotland, Northern

Ireland and England, mostly showers. I'm getting into north Wales as

well. We will see the showers at lower levels. Again, winds starting

to ease, what atrocious conditions on the hills and mountains. In

between that dry and relatively bright. Wherever you are it will

feel cold. The wind will accentuate that chilly feel, so for many it

will feel freezing. Then pushes into near continent on Thursday. The wind

moves to a northerly and then we have gales coming down and the risk

of some localised coastal flooding. Lots going on. A busy time. Thank

you. Like you say, don't make that the last weather report you watch

because it is changing all the time. We will have another one in half an

hour. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

will today visit a centre run by a charity which supports

bereaved parents. Prince William is Royal patron

of Child Bereavement UK, which also offers help to children

who have experienced the death Graham Satchell has

been to meet a family You may find some of the details

in this report upsetting. She was kind of like my lifeline. If

I got moody with her dad, she would be like, come on, ma'am, snap out of

it. She was headstrong. -- mum. She was full of life, full of smiles.

She knew me better than any myself. Olivia died six years ago after an

asthma attack at school. She was just eight. We both didn't know what

to do or what to say to one another. It was just thinking why? Why did it

happen? I didn't want to cry in front of the wife and kids. I had to

be strong for the rest of the family. Such a cheeky smile. Very

cheeky smile. How do you cope with the death of a child, a daughter,

sister? We were what I would call a normal family and the biggest thing,

it will always stick in my mind, is the fact that Darren turns around to

Kayley and says it is OK to cry for your sister.

And she says, no, it's OK for you to cry. It is very hard. For years you

were two peas in a pod. The family has struggled. Struggled to talk to

each other, struggled with friends who didn't know what to say and then

drifted away. But they have had hoped, counselling from the charity

Child Bereavement UK. Many of the families that we see at Child

Bereavement UK do talk about the sense of loneliness and isolation

that comes from grief and I think we have to chip away at this taboo and

try and help decrease the isolation that bereaved families so often

feel. I'm not one that likes to show my feelings, but coming here was a

bit awkward at first. At the time my sister died I was going through at

that stage myself, with getting bullied and self harming, invite

that. -- things like that. Me self harming was my way of coping, to

take it out on me, not anyone else. I am slowly getting there, just

trying to get my life back on track. When I think back to how everything

was, even on the day of Olivia's death we weren't actually there for

each other. When we started having sessions together, I mean, to be

honest that was the only time we actually spoke to each other or

actually knew how each other felt. Counselling has helped but their

lives will never be the same. I still think I haven't really grieved

properly. There's always song, there's always a film, or there's

always something that said that you never forget.

Thank you very much to the family for sharing their story with us.

That was Graham Satchell reporting there.

And later in the programme the actor Jason Watkins will be here to talk

about the challenges he and his family faced

when they lost their daughter six years ago.

Clearly tough to talk about, but important to talk about.

including questions over the medical records of one of his highest

profile riders - Sir Bradley Wiggins.

It's regrettable, I think, but equally I think,

over the test of time, we will continue to perform

at the highest level in the right way and get people a reason to get

behind us and feel proud of our achievements and give them

a team they can believe in and support.

History there. There's a big statue and we will miss the track

inspection. But, we need more houses. On such a historical piece

of sporting landscape, isn't it? We both took a breath at the same

time then. We've heard a lot about

the pressures the NHS is facing this winter and the strain

that doctors and nurses BBC cameras were allowed to film

inside and to see the pressures they are under. She has had two lines of

cocaine. Unknown quantities. 28-year-old male, stabbed three

times. Seven men with guns have gone into a building and someone is not

leaving. What beds have you got from it? The minute we have bad problems

might usually due to patients not being able to leave the hospital at

the other end, we end up in this state. Oh. What have we got that can

come out? So much. Tim Muffett is live this morning

"A good idea to allow cameras inside? -- why did you think it was

a good idea? It was good to give people an idea of how difficult

decisions are made. We are working and challenging circumstances at the

moment, throughout the NHS, it's fair to say. It hopefully offers

people an idea that people take very considered, very careful decisions

about how to make hospitals run when they are under a lot of pressure. We

will look at another clip. In this clip with EU and another surgeon

effectively competing to provide a bed to different patients. -- we see

we don't do it then,... OK. This case has trumped a patient with

cancer we were going to do in the other theatre echoes that she has

got a condition that will kill her -- because, sometime in the next

three, four, five, six hours. If we don't do it now, there is going to

be no five hours time for her. Incredibly tense situation. How

common are situations like that? They are more common than people

might think. I think that they are becoming more common. Recently, we

are running into these issues more and more. The head of emergency says

you are fire fighting to keep it afloat. She says the whole system

Countrywide has ground to a halt. Can't speak to the rest of the

are robust plans to tackle the problems with supply but I'm not

going to lie, it's very difficult at the moment. Are you glad that people

will have an insight into what you do? It's important that people do

the how decisions are made, the kind of dishes that are brought to bear

on clinical staff, doctors, nurses, and I hope it is very reassuring for

them to show that every decision is thought about. And Q4 -- thank you

so much. The night, we get that insight. It is unprecedented. It

gives us insight into how decisions are made in our hospitals.

Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

We said don't make the earlier weather forecast the last one you

watch today because things are changing all the time. There's lots

to keep hold of as people go to school and work today.

Yes, and especially with tomorrow's weather forecast. In the next few

days we have sleet and snow for some, icy roads and gales. Today we

have gales. If you are travelling, bear that in mind. Travel disruption

is possible. Storm force winds in the final of Scotland, severe gales

or gales in the rest of Scotland, parts of northern England and

Northern Ireland. Adding that a mixture of snow. Atrocious

conditions on the mountains and hills, with blizzards. Further south

will be wintriness in the Pennines. Largely dry on higher ground. Take

extra care if you are travelling, especially the M62. Windy around the

coast of the south-west of England. As we come across other southern

counties it is still windy, just not as windy as it is across other parts

of the UK. Showers becoming more prolific across Scotland. Even at

lower levels we will have sleet and snow. We will have sunshine in parts

of Northern Ireland, England and Wales. There is the risk of some ice

on untreated surfaces. We are not looking at the risk of frost so much

because it is windy. Winds coming down a little bit. Snow showers

becoming more widespread and heavier across Scotland, northern England,

Northern Ireland and a few across the hills of Wales. This is what my

change tomorrow. We have rain coming in, associated with low pressure,

moving towards west to east. There is the risk of surface water

flooding. As it engages with the cold, Arctic air that's when we will

have snow. First thing in the morning we are likely to have snow

on the hills and mountains of Wales. Through the day the snow will travel

towards the south-east, even at lower levels we could have up to two

centimetres of snow, locally up to ten centimetres, so very variable.

Not all of us will see it. This could push further south. The south

Midlands might not see it, but that's very much in the forecast at

the moment. At the other end of the country we are looking at snow

showers. Again, prolific. Some of them heavy. Gusty winds. Lizards on

the hills. The wind continuing to come down. -- blizzards. In between

all of that we are looking at some dry weather, but wherever you are in

this still cold. Although temperatures are above freezing it

will feel like it isn't for many of us.

Thank you so much. We will be watching closely.

From today, if you take a short haul BA flight you won't get any free

people are pointing out that aren't free, you pay for it in your ticket

travel felt glamorous, but today is certainly

the end of a era. Not so long ago you

could have expected to check in at an airport,

get a complimentary snack, You have to print your own boarding

pass for many carriers. The cutlery is gone

and increasingly airlines are offering services to watch films

on your own devices, phone or tablet,

rather than installing their own. And from today if you take a short

TravelSupermarket joins us. Good morning. The end of an era.

When does no frills become no-frills? Isn't it interesting that

BA have come out and done this? They are the -- they aren't one of the

main cost airlines, like easyJet, but there is little between them. At

the moment from today that gin and tonic, that sandwich that you get,

it is all gone. You will have to pay for it. It is interesting. The costs

are about one third more than you would pay on the high street at M

But the best thing to do, take your own. Take your own snacks. Another

tip, you water bottle, take it through security empty, then go to

one of the bars and ask them to fill it up for free. There are so many

extras and I think it is the case of making sure you understand the

rules. If you understand the rules then you can get around some of

those extras. But there is nowhere on the plane now which hasn't got

some sort of potential charge attached to it. That's the point.

The airline wants to save money. Of course they are trying to increase

the profit margin. So with the competition from the no-frills

carriers will stop but will we see our ticket prices go down? I can't

imagine it will get cheaper just because we don't get a free meal.

Funnily enough, the new BA chairman said last year that they are doing

this because the customers want more choice. He kind of suggested that

their products warrant premium. But I can't imagine you would find many

BA customers saying they wanted to pay ?2 34 cup of tea. Really

interesting. A lot of you getting in touch this morning on social media,

saying it was one thing that gave BA the edge. Another says, this is the

reality. Think of it with a flying bus and you won't be disappointed.

Another says, it's a bonus! More for me after 8am.

Thank you. In a moment, we'll trade our autocue

for a couple of pool cues to try our hand at potting a few

balls with the man behind what's been dubbed the best

Shane O'Hara joins us now. Thank you very much. You set that up

and it took an extraordinary long time, didn't it? It did, quite

sadly. It took an entire night of my life. How many sections were there?

20. And he practised every single section how many times? It failed

multiple times as we went along. Probably 100 plus takes. Lots of

people say they think it is either fake or that it was done on

different cameras, but it was one continuous shot. Was it you who took

the shot at the start? No, that was someone else rolling in my 15

minutes of fame. Even though he had the most limited input in it. I am

sure he wouldn't say that! Yes, it is amazing. We were just really

persistent. I understand you started from the last shot and then work

backwards? Yes, you work backwards. Part of the artistry is that you

paint it as it goes. You just go with the flow. There is no still

image that you see before you start. Is it true that as frustration

kicked in for the last two hours no one spoke to each other? That's

true. We all just wanted to go to bed. We were bashing our heads off

each other. But it has worked and has been watched by millions. What

would you do next? Something more elaborate?

You are going to do on here! You have set one up for us? This has a

fairly high success rate. Depends on your sporting pedigree. We don't

know who will play this. Let's toss the coin.

I will go heads. Heads I will do it. Tails, it's you!

OK... Can you talk me through it a bit? Do

it at medium speed. The plan is that all of the balls will go in. In

between the two reds? What will happen if it is successful? If it is

successful then you are much braver than I am to do something on live TV

like this. And what will happen? Supposedly on ball Bilbo in each

pocket. That is officially the worst trick

shot ever. I don't want to critique you... I will take some of the

liability. Can I have a go in on our? Yes, I will set it up. -- in

windy day. The further north you travel, the stronger the gusts of

wind will be. There is some wintry showers in the north so blizzards on

the hills. Further south, the drizzle will clear and we will see

sunshine, but tomorrow it won't just be the north seeing snow. Some parts

of the south will as well. But I'll have more on that in 15 minutes.
