This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:00.:00:10.

The Brexit bill goes to the vote as MPs decide whether to give

:00:11.:00:13.

Theresa May the power to leave the EU.

:00:14.:00:16.

Last night, the Government saw off a possible rebellion after promising

:00:17.:00:19.

that any final deal will be put to the Commons.

:00:20.:00:23.

We'll be live at Westminster with the latest in the next few minutes.

:00:24.:00:39.

A damning report says a plan to free up hospital beds in England

humiliated. An overdraft could cost you five

:01:12.:01:13.

:01:31.:01:32.

we'll be looking at the science Good morning. A cold start in the

:02:08.:02:10.

The bill empowering Theresa May to start the process of leaving

:02:11.:02:14.

the EU is due to reach its final stages in the Commons later.

:02:15.:02:18.

Last night, the Government saw off a potential rebellion

:02:19.:02:20.

from Conservative backbenchers, and defeated amendments put forward

:02:21.:02:22.

Here's our political correspondent, Tom Bateman.

:02:23.:02:26.

A battle for control over the process of Brexit. How much say will

:02:27.:02:33.

Parliament have? Last night, MPs ended more than seven hours of

:02:34.:02:38.

debate which contained what some saw as concessions from the government.

:02:39.:02:42.

I can confirm that the government will bring forward a motion on final

:02:43.:02:45.

agreement from both Houses of Parliament before it is concluded.

:02:46.:02:50.

In other words, MPs will get to vote on any future rigs a deal before it

:02:51.:02:55.

is signed off by the government and the EU. -- Brexit. But other

:02:56.:03:01.

negotiations will likely be complex. Some are worried about Theresa May's

:03:02.:03:06.

threat to walk away from the talks rather than take a bad deal. What

:03:07.:03:10.

the house wants is the opportunity to send the government back to our

:03:11.:03:15.

EU partners to negotiate a deal if one is not reached. Last night, the

:03:16.:03:21.

government saw off a number of attempts to starve Brexit. Some

:03:22.:03:25.

backbenchers remain unhappy about what the ministers offered.

:03:26.:03:29.

Divisions between those who argued for it and who campaigned against it

:03:30.:03:34.

were plain to see. The bill reaches its final stage later today, with

:03:35.:03:46.

more Tory backbencher debate. The government leaves it can trigger its

:04:59.:05:01.

Labour Party and the government will be hopeful it can get the

:05:02.:05:06.

legislation through, trigger Article 50, and trigger negotiations by the

:05:07.:05:10.

end of March. Thank you very much for the moment.

:05:11.:05:12.

Plans to treat more patients in the community have so far failed

:05:13.:05:15.

to save money or reduce hospital admissions in England,

:05:16.:05:17.

according to the Government's spending watchdog.

:05:18.:05:19.

The National Audit Office says ministers were over-optimistic

:05:20.:05:21.

in thinking a scheme called the Better Care Fund could save ?500

:05:22.:05:24.

When residents of this care home in Sutton have to go to hospital,

:05:25.:05:34.

an innovative scheme helps cut their stay to a minimum.

:05:35.:05:39.

Their medical and personal details go with them in distinctive red bags

:05:40.:05:42.

so doctors and nurses can make faster and more

:05:43.:05:45.

It's been a great asset for us and we're

:05:46.:05:52.

able to pass the information on with a guarantee that it's

:05:53.:05:59.

going from ambulance to A to the ward.

:06:00.:06:06.

We have been able to choose the time by four days which is massive

:06:07.:06:10.

when you think about how stretched the system is at the moment.

:06:11.:06:13.

The National Audit Office says the spending of ?5 billion

:06:14.:06:20.

Starting in 2014-15, the scheme aimed to reduce

:06:21.:06:23.

an emergency admissions to hospital by more than 100,000.

:06:24.:06:36.

But in 2015-16, admissions actually went up by 87,000.

:06:37.:06:38.

Over the same period, the project was

:06:39.:06:40.

supposed to reduce the number of days lost by people stayed

:06:41.:06:46.

in hospital to just under 300,000 but

:06:47.:06:48.

The Public Accounts Committee wants long-term solutions rather than

:06:49.:06:55.

short-term funding. What is it that is

:06:56.:07:01.

stopping the beds being available even when there is some

:07:02.:07:03.

money being thrown at them, The government says it is too soon

:07:04.:07:06.

to judge the impact of the funding. Government lawyers in America have

:07:07.:07:12.

been trying to convince an appeals court to reinstate President Trump's

:07:13.:07:15.

ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries entering

:07:16.:07:18.

the United States. They said Mr Trump was acting

:07:19.:07:19.

within his powers and that the court which suspended the ban

:07:20.:07:23.

last week made an error. But two US states argued it

:07:24.:07:25.

discriminated against Muslims. Our Washington correspondent,

:07:26.:07:28.

Richard Lister, has more details. Alleged rape victims shouldn't be

:07:29.:07:38.

cross-examined in court about their sexual history

:07:39.:07:40.

of appearance, according to an MP. Liz Saville Roberts wants

:07:41.:07:43.

to introduce a so-called "Rape Shield Law," which would

:07:44.:07:45.

prevent defence lawyers from routinely using a claimant's

:07:46.:07:48.

past sexual behaviour as evidence. The Ministry of Justice says the bar

:07:49.:07:50.

for disclosing such information is high, but they were

:07:51.:07:53.

listening to concerns. A rape victim told BBC Breakfast

:07:54.:07:55.

she was left humiliated The accused me of being someone who

:07:56.:08:12.

is miscue is. It is appalling. I was told that it is not allowed, it was

:08:13.:08:17.

resigned to the Dark Ages, a character annihilation.

:08:18.:08:18.

Plans to offer 30 hours of free childcare to three and four year

:08:19.:08:22.

olds in England could lead to a shortage of nursery places,

:08:23.:08:25.

The 15 hours per week children currently receive in term time

:08:26.:08:29.

is set to double from September, but more than half of councils told

:08:30.:08:33.

the Family and Childcare Trust that they were unsure their areas

:08:34.:08:36.

would have adequate provision to cope.

:08:37.:08:37.

The Department for Education says quality, affordable childcare

:08:38.:08:40.

The chairman of the Football Association has admitted

:08:41.:08:45.

that the organisation needs to change, and says he'll resign

:08:46.:08:48.

Greg Clarke's comments come ahead of a debate in Parliament tomorrow

:08:49.:08:53.

In December, five former FA chiefs called on the government

:08:54.:08:57.

to legislate to restructure the body, saying it was outdated,

:08:58.:09:00.

We have heard about the travel ban. But one other story. Does he wear

:09:01.:09:21.

dressing gowns? Quite an extraordinary story. Lots of old

:09:22.:09:29.

pictures of him wearing a bath robe has appeared on line. That is after

:09:30.:09:32.

his Press Secretary told journalists the president definitely does not

:09:33.:09:41.

wear one. The were subject to a meal times article suggesting he sits

:09:42.:09:44.

down watching Fox News in his dressing gown. -- New York Times. It

:09:45.:09:50.

is one of its most used phrases. Fake news. The president's latest

:09:51.:09:57.

spat with the media is over this, a bath robe, and whether he does or

:09:58.:10:03.

does not own one. This New York Times report described a chaotic

:10:04.:10:08.

start to his presidency. But it was the claim that Donald Trump spent

:10:09.:10:10.

considerable time watching television in his bathroom that

:10:11.:10:15.

seemed to particularly irritate the White House. That is literally the

:10:16.:10:22.

epitome of fake news. I mean, you start at the top, I don't think he

:10:23.:10:26.

owns a bath robe. He definitely does not wear one. From top to bottom it

:10:27.:10:31.

is a made up story that does not exist. The president tweeted, of

:10:32.:10:36.

course, his annoyance at what he described as poor reporting. And

:10:37.:10:39.

that bar for a denial prompted people across the globe to take to

:10:40.:10:46.

social media to contradict the White House. -- bathrobe. Some delved deep

:10:47.:10:52.

into archives to find these images. There were Donald Trump bathrobes as

:10:53.:10:57.

well. And it spawned parities. This picture of Ronald Reagan did the

:10:58.:11:01.

rounds. One tweet said he should not be so shy about wearing the garment.

:11:02.:11:10.

Many said that the government had more serious matters to discuss

:11:11.:11:14.

rather than his choice of loungewear. Interesting gown news. I

:11:15.:11:22.

love the Internet. Social media is brilliant. Do you have one? I like

:11:23.:11:29.

my one. I got one 15 years ago as a Christmas present and I never use

:11:30.:11:36.

it. You are missing out. Free and easy when I get out of the shower.

:11:37.:11:40.

Maybe you should not have said that. I like to let nature dry me. Every

:11:41.:11:51.

day! Stop. I will talk instead about Alastair Cook. Yesterday we spoke

:11:52.:11:56.

about him not being the captain any more. He actually looks quite sad in

:11:57.:12:07.

that picture. He did not look like a man with the burden lifted off the

:12:08.:12:15.

shoulders. Alastair Cook says he'll have "no

:12:16.:12:17.

issue" playing under another captain following his resignation

:12:18.:12:21.

as England Test skipper. Cook led his country

over it now? Moving on. We will catch up with Carol. For once we

:13:16.:13:21.

have made sure she is on time. Good morning.

:13:22.:13:25.

I am in shock. Good morning. Yesterday, some of us had snow.

:13:26.:13:37.

Beautiful pictures. There is some snow in the forecast today but not

:13:38.:13:42.

all of us will see it. We will have a cloudy start in the east. Wintry

:13:43.:13:46.

flurries. In the west, a brighter start. A colder one. The risk of ice

:13:47.:13:52.

on untreated surfaces. High-pressure building in the south-west. This

:13:53.:13:56.

weather front is in the east. This is starting to make progress towards

:13:57.:14:03.

the west. Behind it, effectively, we will pull in this cold continental

:14:04.:14:07.

air. It will feel colder today than it did yesterday. We will start off

:14:08.:14:13.

where it is cold this morning. That is in parts of the west. Under

:14:14.:14:17.

clearer skies, temperatures have dropped. There is the risk of ice on

:14:18.:14:22.

untreated surfaces. The east, more cloud, some getting in central parts

:14:23.:14:26.

this morning. Patchy and light rain and drizzle. Again, up the east

:14:27.:14:33.

coast, a wintry element coming in. Western Scotland and Northern

:14:34.:14:36.

Ireland, clearer skies and the risk of ice and fog here and there.

:14:37.:14:42.

Nothing to substantial. Further snow in the Grampians today. In the east,

:14:43.:14:46.

especially over the high ground. During the day, that will come down

:14:47.:14:50.

a touch. We pull in this easterly wind and it will feel cold and some

:14:51.:14:54.

of the showers will have a wintry components to them. Down the east

:14:55.:14:58.

coast, highs of three and five. Something not as cold out towards

:14:59.:15:04.

the west, 7-8. Heading on through the evening and overnight, we hang

:15:05.:15:08.

on to this cold wind coming in from the continent. A southerly one out

:15:09.:15:12.

towards the west. Again, where we have clear skies, pockets of frost.

:15:13.:15:18.

More cloud towards the east. Not such a problem here. The odd pocket

:15:19.:15:22.

of fog as well. Again, nothing to substantial. Temperatures, below

:15:23.:15:30.

freezing. Now, as we head on through tomorrow, again, similar to today.

:15:31.:15:35.

Similar with no change. Some sunshine in the west. The east, wind

:15:36.:15:39.

coming in from the North Sea with an easterly direction. Once again

:15:40.:15:45.

tomorrow, showers, as especially coming in from the coast. Some will

:15:46.:15:53.

get inland. Along the coast, sleet and snow. Snow in the Grampians and

:15:54.:15:59.

possibly the Pennines as well, but not significant amounts. Fried a.

:16:00.:16:05.

More showers than this is showing. -- Friday. An easterly wind across

:16:06.:16:13.

the land. A cold day. Maximum temperatures between two and three.

:16:14.:16:17.

Once again, fairly cloudy, especially in eastern areas. Showers

:16:18.:16:22.

still with a wintry component. Snow in the Pennines and in the Grampians

:16:23.:16:29.

as well. Typical wintry weather, Dan and Lou. Thank you.

:16:30.:16:33.

Efforts to treat more patients in the community have neither saved

Ben and Sally have joined us to have a look at the papers. I'm sorry. We

will have you all involved with the big catch-up debate later. The Times

:19:18.:19:22.

for you. Badgers caught my eye. A device that tells you if you are

:19:23.:19:31.

boring on a date. I don't want to bore you but we talked about this

:19:32.:19:40.

yesterday. You out about so... I needed to alert you at that point

:19:41.:19:45.

before you got too far into it. I'm going to rattle on. I was in Derby

yesterday so thank you very much. Levitate about this story. I'm

Beckham and the hacked e-mails. We have all read at out his huge desire

:20:28.:20:32.

for a knighthood and how cross he was when he didn't get one. After

:20:33.:20:40.

doing lots of work, he has been widely criticised by those e-mails.

:20:41.:20:46.

Paul Hayward made this point. The charity were key has done is all

:20:47.:20:50.

legitimate. He has spent a lot of time and donated millions of pounds

:20:51.:20:55.

of his own money. OK, he has lots and lots of cash but he has

:20:56.:20:59.

seriously... The will to do good came before the desire for the

:21:00.:21:06.

knighthood. There are other papers taking some completely different

:21:07.:21:09.

views. There is a real division about it. Definite damage to the

:21:10.:21:17.

brand David Beckham. One supermarket has started keeping catch-up in the

:21:18.:21:23.

fridge before you buy it and lots of people complained. Before you opened

:21:24.:21:31.

it? Cupboard or fridge? In the fridge. Fridge it! Cupboard.

:21:32.:21:41.

Cupboard. Used or something where the supermarket stores it but that

:21:42.:21:47.

puts it out. I'm not having a great morning. An absolute shocker. Thank

:21:48.:21:50.

you very much. After three days of debate,

:21:51.:21:53.

MPs are set to give the government the green light to start

:21:54.:21:56.

the process of Brexit tonight. But triggering Article 50 is only

:21:57.:21:59.

the beginning of our divorce We took two people -

:22:00.:22:02.

one who voted Remain and the other Leave - along to Westminster

:22:03.:22:07.

to watch the Commons debates and discuss with MPs from both sides

:22:08.:22:10.

what the future might hold. Our political correspondent

:22:11.:22:13.

Ben Wright reports. The countdown to Brexit is picking

:22:14.:22:33.

voter and Tony who booted for Britain to leave the EU. -- voted.

:22:43.:22:48.

Just down there is the House of Commons chamber. From the public

:22:49.:22:52.

gallery, Lance and Tony watched MPs argue about the government's Brexit

:22:53.:22:56.

strategy and what role this place should have as Britain begins to

:22:57.:23:04.

leave the European Union. Your -- European Union... Order! That is why

:23:05.:23:11.

I am voting against this amendment, because ultimately it is a political

:23:12.:23:15.

matter. It is for the Prime Minister to demonstrate her leadership skills

:23:16.:23:23.

and negotiating skills and to get it right. Please can we have a say. Not

:23:24.:23:30.

on behalf of Parliament but on behalf of all-out constituents.

:23:31.:23:34.

That's why we come here. Afterwards, we chewed it all over with two MPs

:23:35.:23:39.

pub. Tony, do you worry that some MPs outrageous to slow the whole

:23:44.:23:47.

thing down and even stop Brexit from happening? Yes I do. As I do. I feel

:23:48.:23:56.

it's against the will of the people. Bello believe vote one but it wasn't

:23:57.:23:59.

by a massive, massive majority. It was by a still -- slim amount. You

:24:00.:24:06.

still have to take into account the 48% of us that voted to stay in.

them. It is with a united front. How is Brexit by to be served up?

:24:30.:24:34.

Theresa May plans to formally tell the EU that Britain prepares to

:24:35.:24:37.

leave by the end of March and then tough talks in Brussels begin. EU

:24:38.:24:41.

rules say there are two years to sort out a divorce deal with the UK.

:24:42.:24:46.

So, Britain will be out of the EU by the spring of 2019. But sorting out

:24:47.:24:50.

a new trade deal could take much longer. Even the difficulty with

:24:51.:24:56.

coming out of the EU, isn't it important that we get the headline

:24:57.:25:00.

decisions made worst and we sort out the detail later? What is the point

:25:01.:25:04.

of rushing through a decision like this if it is not right for the

:25:05.:25:08.

country? That is my main opinion. After three days of debate, do we

:25:09.:25:14.

have a clear plan? Allah have a positive plan we can put away

:25:15.:25:18.

European friends. The key now is do we have enough flexibility. At the

:25:19.:25:23.

end of the process we then have the best deal for everyone in the

:25:24.:25:28.

country. Nobody expects a Brexit talks to be this civil. And

We have gone too far. He has been talking about problems with Kevin

champions are just one point Leicester have managed just two wins

in their last 15 league games, but they released a statement

yesterday saying "the entire club is, and will remain,

:34:13.:34:15.

united behind its manager." There is no crisis. Of course, when

:34:16.:34:31.

you don't win, you lack a little bit of confidence. It is normal.

:34:32.:34:37.

Fortunately, these players are warriors. They are used to fighting.

:34:38.:34:43.

They have already lived this situation. They lived with the good

:34:44.:34:48.

things, but also the bad things. Leicester are in FA Cup action

day. They are very capable of reaching the heights that they did

last season. I watched the first 40 minutes against Manchester United.

:35:12.:35:15.

They dominated with their usual aggressive and pressing selves. They

:35:16.:35:26.

had lots of opportunities. But the ball is not going in the net.

:35:48.:35:49.

The group we are currently in, there will be 13 other teams, of the 14

:35:50.:35:55.

teams, including us, only two will go through. In the past 15 years,

:35:56.:35:58.

that has only happened twice for us, I think. But this year we are going

:35:59.:36:02.

in with a top ten player, Johanna Konta, and Laura. They have been

:36:03.:36:06.

ranked higher. I do believe this is our strongest team for some time.

:36:07.:36:08.

Wales were thrashed 92-27 by New Zealand in the first of two

:36:09.:36:11.

New Zealand dominated the match and led Wales by 27 points

:36:12.:36:15.

Wales struggled to claw back the gap as New Zealand,

:36:16.:36:19.

who are ranked second in the world, added 25 more goals

:36:20.:36:22.

The two teams will play each other again today.

We can make a fuss about it but that will be an excuse. We have more

games on shorter turnaround is. It is something you have to deal with.

:36:48.:36:54.

There is that physicality at an international level. We experienced

The confusion and legal wrangling over President Trump's travel ban

:37:11.:37:13.

on people from seven mainly Muslim countries has entered a third week.

:37:14.:37:16.

Overnight, government lawyers have been trying to convince an appeals

:37:17.:37:19.

court in San Francisco to reinstate it, saying Donald Trump was acting

:37:20.:37:22.

To tell us what might happen next is Dr Marie Newhouse,

:37:23.:37:26.

Director of Surrey University's Centre for Law and Philosophy,

:37:27.:37:28.

Good morning. It is fascinating to see how this might pan out. Remind

:37:29.:37:40.

us of why the outcome could be so significant. This is a really early

:37:41.:37:45.

test of Donald Trump's administration, isn't it? It

:37:46.:37:48.

certainly is. Thank you for having me. One thing to understand is this

:37:49.:37:52.

has been an extra ordinarily rushed piece of litigation because the area

:37:53.:37:59.

is so large. The courts have made an effort to process the case as soon

:38:00.:38:02.

as possible. And the argument that we just had in the ninth circuit

:38:03.:38:07.

demonstrated the lawyers were feeling under a lot of pressure. Not

:38:08.:38:12.

much evidence has been gathered yet. And yet it seems important to make

:38:13.:38:16.

some kind of decision as quickly as possible. In fact, the judges

:38:17.:38:19.

appeared disposed to make the decision as quick as possible. By do

:38:20.:38:24.

you think Donald Trump can push his executive orders when it comes to

:38:25.:38:30.

national security -- how far do. One of the things they are saying is

:38:31.:38:34.

that they have the power to control borders given by Congress. The

:38:35.:38:38.

president has a great deal of latitude to control borders. But it

:38:39.:38:42.

is not completely unlimited. And in fact, one of the argument is that

:38:43.:38:46.

the State of Washington and one of the plaintiffs in this litigation is

:38:47.:38:50.

making is that doctor's order could actually be inconsistent with print

:38:51.:39:00.

edition -- prohibition of immigration. That will only apply to

:39:01.:39:07.

immigrants if it applies, not to visa holders or tourist visa

:39:08.:39:10.

holders, but it would apply to refugees. That would be significant.

:39:11.:39:15.

It is possible many people impacted by the travel ban could get some

:39:16.:39:19.

legal relief, even if the courts decide not to address the

:39:20.:39:23.

constitutional claim. The legal argument, just listening to it, it

:39:24.:39:27.

can get quite deep about whether it amounts to a Muslim ban or just one

:39:28.:39:32.

no majority Muslim countries to be that could be the deciding issue,

:39:33.:39:39.

couldn't it? It certainly could. The Donald Trump administration said the

:39:40.:39:42.

court should not look beyond the four corners of the executive court

:39:43.:39:47.

itself in order to find religious discrimination, which is another one

:39:48.:39:50.

of the claims that the State of Washington is making. Now, there are

:39:51.:39:55.

some cases that the Federal level that indicate that that a claimed

:39:56.:40:00.

that may succeed in terms of evidence that the court should not

:40:01.:40:05.

look beyond executive orders. -- claim. But that does not involve the

:40:06.:40:09.

kind of evidence we already have in the record about religious to

:40:10.:40:13.

scammer nation, Donald Trump's and claims during the campaign trail,

:40:14.:40:19.

and Rudy Giuliani's claimed the Donald Trump called him up and said

:40:20.:40:25.

I want to implement a Muslim ban, how do I do it legally? This puts

:40:26.:40:29.

the government in an awkward position. It is not clear to me that

:40:30.:40:33.

the judges will decline to entertain that evidence. Both sides could

:40:34.:40:39.

appeal this decision, whatever it is. Then it goes to The Supreme

:40:40.:40:42.

Court. An interesting part of that is that there is only aged judges on

:40:43.:40:49.

that Supreme Court because the ninth has not been sworn in yet. And those

:40:50.:40:55.

eight are pretty divided. With this deadlock, whatever the ninth circuit

:40:56.:41:03.

decides would stand. How might that process work in terms of timing?

:41:04.:41:08.

When is the ninth circuit judge meant to be sworn in? Well, I think

:41:09.:41:12.

what you are talking about is the ninth Supreme Court justice being

:41:13.:41:17.

sworn in. Yes. That will depend on the information hearings in the

:41:18.:41:20.

Senate. I probably do not need to tell you how tremendously fraught

:41:21.:41:25.

that issue is in the Senate right now given the refusal to hold

:41:26.:41:29.

confirmation hearings last year for Obama's appointed, Merrick Garland.

:41:30.:41:34.

It is not clear how quickly the Senate will move to feel that they

:41:35.:41:39.

on The Supreme Court. How quickly this case reaches The Supreme Court,

:41:40.:41:43.

and I believe it will eventually, will depend on the red of the

:41:44.:41:49.

decision. -- breadth. The ninth circuit could actually say it does

:41:50.:41:52.

not have jurisdiction over this case yet, that they have to wait for the

:41:53.:41:59.

Federal trial to issue something like a preliminary injunction to

:42:00.:42:03.

take a good look at it. If they do that, I do not think anyone will

:42:04.:42:06.

will appeal that order, I think we will just wait for the preliminary

:42:07.:42:10.

injunction at the trial court. On the other hand, the ninth circuit

:42:11.:42:14.

could come out and rural on merit. One of the judges said she was eager

:42:15.:42:19.

to do that. Judge Friedland, anti- Obama appoint key. If that happens,

:42:20.:42:24.

I think that will be appointed to The Supreme Court is be -- an Obama

:42:25.:42:31.

apointee. I think we will talk about that again. We have learned so much

:42:32.:42:37.

about how the American system works. You are watching Breakfast. The main

:42:38.:42:41.

stories. The bill authorising Theresa May to start the process of

:42:42.:42:45.

leaving the European Union is due to reach its final stages in the house

:42:46.:42:49.

of a man is today. Efforts to treat more patients in the community have

:42:50.:42:56.

neither saved money or helped the NHS according to the watchdog.

:42:57.:43:00.

There could be snow. Good morning. Good morning. This morning, if you

:43:01.:43:10.

are just stepping out, it will feel colder today than it did yesterday.

:43:11.:43:14.

As we go through the rest of the week it will feel colder again.

:43:15.:43:18.

Cloudy in the east and brighter in the west. The risk of ice and quite

:43:19.:43:23.

a lot of frost around, especially in western Scotland and Northern

:43:24.:43:27.

Ireland. We have this knows of high-pressure moving towards the

:43:28.:43:31.

south-west. Equally, a weather front. This is what produced the

:43:32.:43:36.

rain in the past few days and it is trying to move back towards the

:43:37.:43:40.

west. What is happening is we are pulling in this colder air more or

:43:41.:43:44.

less across most of the UK as we go through today. Coldest in the

:43:45.:43:49.

south-western parts of Wales under clearer skies. Some showers. There

:43:50.:43:54.

is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Cloud, especially east.

:43:55.:43:59.

Some of that is in the west and is currently producing showers.

:44:00.:44:03.

Northern Ireland, a cold start for you and a frosty one with the risk

:44:04.:44:06.

of ice on untreated surfaces. Showers in northern England.

:44:07.:44:11.

Scotland, again, in the west, the risk of ice, clearer skies, a few

:44:12.:44:15.

showers, and further snow in the Grampians. Through the course of the

:44:16.:44:20.

day, flurries coming in. Nothing to substantial. It will be a cold,

:44:21.:44:27.

easterly winds we are pulling in. Are towards the west, sunshine.

:44:28.:44:31.

Through the afternoon, a few coastal showers developing, but not much

:44:32.:44:33.

more than that supplied still comparatively mild out towards the

:44:34.:44:39.

west. Cool air starts to see bin from the North Sea. As we had gone

:44:40.:44:44.

through this evening and overnight, it will continue to feel colder.

:44:45.:44:47.

More of the showers will have a wintry element to them. Windy

:44:48.:44:52.

towards the west, cold from the east, and again, where the cloud

:44:53.:44:56.

breaks, especially in central and western areas, we are looking once

:44:57.:45:00.

again at frost. May be pockets of, but nothing to substantial.

:45:01.:45:05.

Tomorrow, similar to today, in that we have clearer skies are towards

:45:06.:45:09.

the west. That is where we will see sunshine. Tomorrow will feel colder

:45:10.:45:13.

than today. We will still pull in cold and easterly wind. Still, some

:45:14.:45:19.

showers. Towards the east of England and also Scotland, right on the

:45:20.:45:23.

coastline, some showers will be sleek and snow. You do not have to

:45:24.:45:27.

be too far inland to have sleet and snow. Friday, a bit more of the

:45:28.:45:34.

same. The cold theme continues. Cold wind continues off the North Sea.

:45:35.:45:38.

Towards the east of England and eastern parts of Scotland, snow

:45:39.:45:42.

showers. The coast, more likely to be sleet. Moving across the

:45:43.:45:46.

Pennines, Northumberland, the borders of Aberdeenshire, we will

:45:47.:45:54.

see snow. Just over an inch. It could be almost over that. There are

:45:55.:45:59.

showers. Not all of us will see them. I counted how many times you

:46:00.:46:05.

said cold. It was a lot. See you later. Thank you. I just cold her

:46:06.:46:10.

darling on. That is embarrassing. She is part of the family.

:46:11.:46:20.

There is no love this morning. I make one mistake on the so far

:46:21.:46:28.

and... What have you got for us, sweetheart? OK, too much, too much.

:46:29.:46:32.

Have you ever faced a hefty fee for using your overdraft?

:46:33.:46:35.

Well research out this morning says it can be more expensive

:46:36.:46:38.

Looked at how much it would cost to go over your overdraft by ?100

:46:39.:46:44.

for 30 days - and found it could cost between ?30 and ?180 -

:46:45.:46:48.

depending on which current account you have.

:46:49.:46:50.

Payday loan firms - by law - can't charge more than ?24

:46:51.:46:53.

for the same type of loan - and Which says the same rule should

:46:54.:46:57.

We'll speak to them in just a minute - but first -

:46:58.:47:01.

do you feel you get enough warning to try to avoid the fees?

:47:02.:47:06.

No. They just came out and happened three months in a row and then I had

:47:07.:47:13.

to go in and sort it out. It was that that kept at putting me back

:47:14.:47:17.

over. The outline the rules at the start so as soon as you follow them,

:47:18.:47:21.

you shouldn't really get stung. A bit of self-discipline. I pay my

:47:22.:47:27.

rent and buy rent goes out and if it goes ?10 overdrawn, I get charged at

:47:28.:47:33.

ten for being at ten overdrawn. They meant to be able to help you. You

:47:34.:47:35.

are paying for your own money. Pete Moorey is Head

:47:36.:47:38.

of Campaigns at Which? Looking at the numbers, it strikes

:47:39.:47:47.

me, with a traditional bank account it cost you between ?100 and 130

:47:48.:47:54.

council to pay date loan is capped with 20 pounds. Dirt with a payday

:47:55.:48:00.

loan? There are many reasons why it people do it with a payday loan. We

:48:01.:48:05.

unfair -- we need to. Why doesn't the rule applied to the banks, the

:48:27.:48:32.

cup of ?24? No one has decided to intervene to date in that way. We

:48:33.:48:38.

had a "Into banking. We think this is what they failed to mess. --A big

:48:39.:48:47.

inquiry. It is time for the financial regulator to step in. This

is about awareness. A lot of people fall into this because they don't

:48:54.:48:57.

know they are short of money that month and if they were a bit more I

:48:58.:49:01.

wear, they could transfer money in from another account, for example. I

:49:02.:49:04.

think it is more than transparency. The banks will tell you that they do

:49:05.:49:08.

more than give you just information. Actually, we think it is simply

:49:09.:49:12.

about these fees being too high. They we think it should be tackled.

:49:13.:49:22.

People are suddenly hit with huge fine. People are using their

:49:23.:49:30.

unarranged overdraft as a buffer. This takes into a spiral of debt. We

:49:31.:49:41.

want to hear your stories about this.

:49:42.:49:43.

We'll be talking about it again after 8.30.

:49:44.:49:53.

Send us your thoughts. More from me after seven.

:49:54.:50:02.

It has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth -

:50:03.:50:06.

and it's currently playing in Cumbria.

:50:07.:50:07.

Tens of thousands of starlings are performing a nightly

:50:08.:50:10.

Their synchronised flying creates an amazing aerial ballet.

:50:11.:50:14.

The Friends of the Lake District has organised a number of viewing events

:50:15.:50:17.

before the season ends later this month -

:50:18.:50:19.

It's an aerial ballet with a cast of thousands. A mass of starlings

:50:20.:50:39.

flying in mesmerising harmony. The dictionary tells us this is called a

:50:40.:50:43.

murmuration. It also tells us the word has been in use for hundreds of

:50:44.:50:48.

years but why a murmuration? Nobody really knows why it is called this.

:50:49.:50:51.

It's an interesting word because they do not really murmur. It is an

:50:52.:50:56.

old word. Short dance, nobody knows. But why do they formed these

:50:57.:51:00.

patterns and move together in harmony? Again, nobody really knows.

:51:01.:51:04.

There is some suggestion that come together at dusk in a big group

:51:05.:51:06.

because it protects protect them. Why would they pick

:51:07.:51:19.

this spot? It is a stunning landscape. Why would anyone want to

:51:20.:51:24.

spend a night here? And so an audience gathered in Cumbria for one

:51:25.:51:29.

of the greatest free free shows on Earth. I'm a reporter for my school

:51:30.:51:41.

magazine. You are a reporter like me? So you can report on this? I'm

:51:42.:51:46.

going to write it up on the computer. Are you going to take some

:51:47.:51:51.

pictures as well? Yes. Hopefully my mum has remembered my phone. I have

:51:52.:51:56.

two capture it on my camera over there and if I miss anything, can I

:51:57.:52:04.

borrow your shots? Yes. As dusk starts, the stars of the show

:52:05.:52:07.

appears. They do not disappoint. Absolutely beautiful. They are just

:52:08.:52:24.

stunning. The sky turns black and it's just amazing. I've seen them

:52:25.:52:31.

before in other places but nothing like a big shows like this. Someone

:52:32.:52:40.

estimated there was 60,000 or so starlings are there. I will take

:52:41.:52:46.

their word for it. Then as darkness falls, so too do the starlings. It

:52:47.:52:50.

is curtains down on another perfect performance.

:52:51.:52:56.

You could just watch that for hours. It's lovely.

:52:57.:52:59.

Joining us now to tell us more about this spectacle is Tom Clare

:53:00.:53:03.

from the Martin Mere Wetlands Centre in Lancashire.

:53:04.:53:07.

It's just mesmerising, isn't it? It is incredible. One of the great

:53:08.:53:14.

sights of nature. Sinor the starlings making these fantastic

:53:15.:53:20.

shapes in the sky. -- seeing all the starlings. There are two main

:53:21.:53:30.

theories as to why people do it -- wired the starlings do it. It is

:53:31.:53:34.

mainly to avoid predators. Also when they come down to roost, because

:53:35.:53:38.

there is so many of them, they will keep warm when they stay together.

:53:39.:53:45.

There has been a reduction in numbers? About 66%. The population

:53:46.:53:52.

has decreased. Although we get these big numbers as you can see in the

:53:53.:53:56.

murmuration is, unfortunately they are on decline. You used to see them

:53:57.:54:02.

much more in cities but now they are over a role phenomenon. Louise

:54:03.:54:10.

sometimes sees it East. It is harder to see them because they fly in a

:54:11.:54:16.

straight line. Adi begin to count the amount of starlings in that?

:54:17.:54:22.

Geese are always on one plane but starlings, it is like a

:54:23.:54:24.

3-dimensional object. Although you can count what's in front of you,

:54:25.:54:31.

you have to factor in the depth. It never stays still either. Is at the

:54:32.:54:39.

season at the moment for this? We have a good amount of starlings in

:54:40.:54:43.

the UK throughout the year but in winter they all form together and

:54:44.:54:48.

make these large murmuration is. We also get a lot of those from the

:54:49.:54:52.

continent, Scandinavia and places like that who escaped their harsh

:54:53.:54:58.

winters to spend it with us. I'm just mesmerised seeing them on the

:54:59.:55:03.

telly there again. Whenever you see them, people are down there pointing

:55:04.:55:08.

their cameras as well. People follow them around the country. It is

:55:09.:55:12.

amazing views that you get with these starling murmuration 's. It is

:55:13.:55:17.

this time in nature where you need any equipment, you just go out to

:55:18.:55:21.

the local area were you see the murmuration is and you stand there

:55:22.:55:24.

and watch them for maybe half an hour to one-hour and watch them

:55:25.:55:29.

until they go home to roost. So they do them in the same place every

:55:30.:55:33.

evening? Pretty much. They will move around a few times. We have had some

:55:34.:55:40.

at Martin mere. They have now moved on. Probably due to the fact we had

:55:41.:55:46.

a lots of birds of prey around, following them around. That might

:55:47.:55:52.

have moved them on. In general, you might be able to find them in

:55:53.:55:55.

similar locations. This might be in ignorant question but they all

:55:56.:56:01.

bashing to each other ever? How do they know when to turn right et

:56:02.:56:07.

cetera? We are still try to figure it out. I'm glad it's not that

:56:08.:56:14.

stupid question. You can see it is instantaneous. There is a lot of

:56:15.:56:20.

research going on about it. A lot of physics behind it as well. Looking

:56:21.:56:26.

into exactly how when one knows, the other one knows. You get is rippling

:56:27.:56:29.

effect through the whole murmuration. Geese are incredible to

:56:30.:56:37.

watch as well. Is one of the great thing is working with wildlife. You

:56:38.:56:42.

see these or inspiring events in winter and the sheer number of birds

:56:43.:56:52.

is just amazing. -- awe inspiring. You know what to do.

:56:53.:57:00.

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

above the relegation zone. A whirling, swooping,

:01:55.:01:59.

acrobatic spectacle of nature. As the season comes to an end,

:02:00.:02:08.

we'll be looking at the science It will be called. We will see some

:02:37.:02:37.

The bill empowering Theresa May to start the process of leaving

:02:38.:02:41.

the EU is due to reach its final stages in the Commons later.

:02:42.:02:45.

Last night, the Government saw off a potential rebellion

:02:46.:02:47.

from Conservative backbenchers, and defeated amendments put forward

:02:48.:02:49.

Here's our political correspondent, Tom Bateman.

:02:50.:02:54.

A battle for control over the process of Brexit.

:02:55.:02:57.

Last night, MPs ended more than seven hours of debate,

:02:58.:03:06.

which contained what some saw as a concession from the Government.

:03:07.:03:09.

I can confirm that the Government will bring forward a motion

:03:10.:03:19.

on the final agreement to approved by both Houses of Parliament before

:03:20.:03:22.

In other words, MPs will get to vote on any future Brexit deal before

:03:23.:03:27.

it is signed off by the Government and the EU.

:03:28.:03:29.

But other negotiations will likely be complex.

:03:30.:03:33.

Some MPs are worried about Theresa May's threat to walk

:03:34.:03:36.

away from the talks rather than take a bad deal.

:03:37.:03:38.

What the House wants is the opportunity to send

:03:39.:03:41.

the Government back to our EU partners to negotiate a deal if one

:03:42.:03:44.

Last night, the Government saw off a number of attempts to starve

:03:45.:03:48.

Some backbenchers remain unhappy about what the ministers offered.

:03:49.:04:00.

Divisions between those who argued for it and who campaigned against it

:04:01.:04:03.

The bill reaches its final stage later today, threatening to expose

:04:04.:04:18.

further rifts within Labour and with more Tory

:04:19.:04:25.

The Government believes it can trigger Article 50 next month.

:04:26.:04:29.

Our political correspondent, Carol Walker, is in Westminster this

:04:30.:04:31.

This feels like another big one. It is the final day of debating and

:04:32.:04:41.

voting in the Commons. After winning convincing votes today, the

:04:42.:04:44.

government will be hopeful it can do the same again today. The bill will

:04:45.:04:50.

go on to the House of Lords. Again, given the margin of victory for the

:04:51.:04:53.

government in the Commons, ministers will hope that will deter the Lord

:04:54.:04:59.

from trying to disrupt this bill as it goes through the houses of

:05:00.:05:03.

government. That will put the focus back on the Labour Party, as Jeremy

:05:04.:05:08.

Corbyn, the leader, has ordered his MPs to vote in favour of the

:05:09.:05:12.

legislation. That is difficult for some who campaigned strongly to

:05:13.:05:15.

remain in the EU and he may have constituencies that voted strongly

:05:16.:05:20.

to remain. More than 40 rebelled last week. There has already been

:05:21.:05:26.

three resignations from the shadow cabinet. And I think many people

:05:27.:05:29.

will be waiting to see if Diane Abbott, the Shadow Home Secretary,

:05:30.:05:35.

turns up. Now, she missed a key vote last week and many of her colleagues

:05:36.:05:40.

who saw her perky at the start of the day said she had a bit of Brexit

:05:41.:05:48.

flu to avoid and embarrassing vote. If she fails to turn up today that

:05:49.:05:52.

will spell a big problem for the Labour leader. We will keep an eye

:05:53.:05:58.

on that. In the meantime, we will discuss this later on in the

:05:59.:06:00.

morning. Plans to treat more patients

:06:01.:06:00.

in the community have so far failed to save money or reduce hospital

:06:01.:06:04.

admissions in England, according to the Government's

:06:05.:06:06.

spending watchdog. The National Audit Office says

:06:07.:06:08.

ministers were over-optimistic in thinking a scheme called

:06:09.:06:10.

:06:11.:06:13.

the ward and following them through. We have been able to reduce time

:06:49.:06:53.

of stay by four days which is massive when you think

:06:54.:06:56.

about how stretched the system The National Audit Office says

the spending of more than ?5 billion of council money on integrating

:07:00.:07:09.

health and social care has not given Starting in 2014-15,

:07:10.:07:13.

the scheme aimed to reduce emergency admissions to hospital

:07:14.:07:16.

by more than 100,000. But in 2015-16, admissions

:07:17.:07:21.

actually went up by 87,000. Over the same period,

:07:22.:07:25.

the project was supposed to reduce the number

:07:26.:07:37.

of days lost because people were stuck in hospital

:07:38.:07:40.

to just under 300,000 but The Public Accounts Committee wants

:07:41.:07:43.

long-term solutions rather They need to look at why

soon to judge the impact Government lawyers in America have

been trying to convince an appeals court to reinstate President Trump's

:08:07.:08:11.

ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries entering

:08:12.:08:14.

the United States. They said Mr Trump was

:08:15.:08:15.

acting within his powers and that the court which suspended

:08:16.:08:18.

the ban last week made an error. But two US states argued it

:08:19.:08:22.

discriminated against Muslims. Yemen is on the brink of famine

:08:23.:08:24.

would have adequate The Department for Education says

:08:59.:09:01.

quality, affordable childcare We have been speaking a lot about

:09:02.:09:21.

the travel ban in the last few days, but one other story about President

:09:22.:09:24.

Trump is making rather strange headlines in the US. It is all about

:09:25.:09:30.

dressing gowns. It seems unbelievable, does he or does he not

:09:31.:09:35.

own wine? Lots of pictures of him wearing one have appeared on line.

:09:36.:09:43.

journalists the President "definitely doesn't wear one."

:09:44.:09:47.

The White House had apparently been angered

:09:48.:09:48.

by a New York Times article which suggested President Trump sits

:09:49.:09:52.

around watching TV in his dressing gown, as Sarah Corker explains.

:09:53.:09:55.

It's become one of Donald Trump's most used phrases.

:09:56.:09:58.

The president's latest spat with the media is over this,

:09:59.:10:06.

a bath robe, and whether he does or does not own one.

:10:07.:10:09.

This New York Times report described a chaotic

:10:10.:10:11.

But it was the claim that Mr Trump spent

:10:12.:10:16.

considerable time watching television in his bathroom that

:10:17.:10:18.

seemed to particularly irritate the White House.

:10:19.:10:21.

That is literally the epitome of fake news.

:10:22.:10:25.

I mean, start at the top, I don't think he owns a bath robe.

:10:26.:10:30.

From top to bottom it is a made-up story that does not

:10:31.:10:39.

The President Tweeted, of course, his annoyance at what he described

:10:40.:10:42.

And that bath robe denial prompted people across the globe to take

:10:43.:10:46.

to social media to contradict the White

:10:47.:10:48.

Some delved deep into archives to find these images.

:10:49.:10:58.

There were Donald Trump branded robes as well.

:10:59.:11:04.

And it spawned parodies and spoof images.

:11:05.:11:06.

This picture of Ronald Reagan did the rounds.

:11:07.:11:08.

One Tweet said he should not be so shy about wearing the garment.

:11:09.:11:14.

the government and public had more serious matters to discuss

:11:15.:11:20.

rather than his choice of loungewear.

:11:21.:11:22.

Sarah Corker, BBC News. There are more important things than dressing

:11:23.:11:32.

gowns, but I love them. The cat in the dressing ground was the

:11:33.:11:35.

highlight. -- gown. It's been seven months

:11:36.:11:40.

of recriminations and political wrangling, but today MPs

:11:41.:11:42.

will finally vote on the bill to trigger Article 50 and start

:11:43.:11:45.

the formal process of Brexit. And some of the details

:11:46.:11:48.

of what happens next We now know MPs will vote on any

:11:49.:11:51.

agreement reached between Britain and the EU, but should they reject

:11:52.:11:55.

it, there would be no renegotiation and Britain would leave

:11:56.:11:58.

the European Union without a deal. Owen Jones from the Guardian,

:11:59.:12:01.

and political commentator, Kate Maltby, are in Westminster

:12:02.:12:03.

to discuss this with us. Good morning. Thank you very much

:12:04.:12:15.

us. Obviously, very simplistic terms, deal or no deal. First of

:12:16.:12:21.

all, how will it go today? Jeremy Corbyn says his MPs must support

:12:22.:12:26.

this bill. They are in a difficult position, whatever you think about

:12:27.:12:31.

it. You have a situation where the majority of Labour voters voted

:12:32.:12:37.

remain, but most have constituencies of leave. The victory was narrow.

:12:38.:12:45.

The vast majority of constituencies voted to leave. The problem Labour

:12:46.:12:51.

has, and their fear is, because the polling shows the haemorrhaging

:12:52.:12:54.

voters who voted to leave, that seems to block the desire of the

:12:55.:13:02.

people. That could have calamitous consequences, not least in places

:13:03.:13:05.

like Doncaster, where 70% of people voted to leave. At the same time,

:13:06.:13:09.

they have to keep their voters, especially in big cities, who are

:13:10.:13:14.

despondent about the referendum result. They think this is a

:13:15.:13:19.

nightmare and that Labour has capitulated to the Conservatives.

:13:20.:13:22.

The tightrope they have to walk is to support the bill and support

:13:23.:13:27.

activating Article 50, but make it clear they will scrutinise and

:13:28.:13:33.

challenge the Tory Brexit. OK, let us talk about the Conservative

:13:34.:13:37.

Party. There have been MPs rebelling. How do you think it will

:13:38.:13:41.

go today? Well, fundamentally, the government is going to get its way.

:13:42.:13:45.

And every rabble in the Tory party knows that. What is interesting is

:13:46.:13:51.

that yesterday afternoon we had that rebellion of seven MPs. -- rebel.

:13:52.:14:02.

Some Tory MPs rebelled. There was a number of rebels on the issue of

:14:03.:14:07.

rags to work ready to stand up and be counted. -- Brexit. That will

:14:08.:14:12.

continue in the referendum. You can talk about splits in the Labour

:14:13.:14:16.

Party, we have been talking about that a lot recently, but one thing

:14:17.:14:20.

that has not been covered in ours is the extent to which the Tory

:14:21.:14:26.

remainders are still digging their heels in. They do not think they

:14:27.:14:30.

will get their way on policy and they do not think they will get

:14:31.:14:35.

their way on these particular votes, but they reminded Theresa May they

:14:36.:14:38.

are still a force to be reckoned with. She is not 100% in control of

:14:39.:14:42.

her party either. That is what I wanted to talk to you about. Is she

:14:43.:14:46.

emboldened by what is going on? She is still in a relatively secure

:14:47.:14:51.

position, especially compared to someone like Jeremy Corbyn. The

:14:52.:14:57.

likes of us talking to you, we don't give her enough credit for the

:14:58.:15:03.

extent to which she is still backed by the majority, not just of Tory

:15:04.:15:09.

voters, but of the electorate. I was privy to some private polling just a

:15:10.:15:13.

couple of days ago. It was full of Londoners in the room where people

:15:14.:15:17.

had been asked across the country about Theresa May's handling of

:15:18.:15:23.

Brexit. We were sitting in the room thinking she was going to be

:15:24.:15:28.

hammered. She was going to be criticised. But strong numbers were

:15:29.:15:33.

coming out for her. The majority of her handling it well enough all very

:15:34.:15:36.

well. She is well aware that there is not a particular plan for Brexit.

:15:37.:15:49.

But as she puts it, Brexit means Brexit. She has to get some kind of

:15:50.:15:53.

deal. She is good at looking like she has authority. She did well in

:15:54.:15:59.

the Commons debates. She was confident. I talked to the Tory

:16:00.:16:07.

rebels, a few of them were actually quite rough grudgingly impressed by

:16:08.:16:14.

her performance in the Commons. Wanted to ask you a little bit. It

:16:15.:16:18.

comes down to individuals. Diane Abbott. She missed the vote. Some

:16:19.:16:25.

people criticising her. Some called it Brexit flew. Is it important she

:16:26.:16:27.

turns up? Yes. I'm sure she doesn't have a

:16:28.:16:37.

migraine today. In terms of the problems. If you like, the Labour

:16:38.:16:41.

leadership has no choice but to support Article 50. Some Labour MPs

:16:42.:16:47.

have no choice but to vote against. It was in some constituencies which

:16:48.:16:52.

heavily voted Remain, particularly the big cities, the danger facing

:16:53.:16:56.

lots of Labour MPs is that it UKIP and the Conservative Party, the

:16:57.:17:01.

Liberal Democrats and Greens -- is not UKIP and the Conservatives. It

:17:02.:17:05.

is that Liberal Democrats and the Greens will stop it is despondent

:17:06.:17:11.

remainders, furious about Brexit, terrified about the future and

:17:12.:17:15.

jubilant Leaders who believe they have the country back. Labour had to

:17:16.:17:20.

bring together a coalition that includes Doncaster which voted 70%

:17:21.:17:25.

for Leave and Islington which voted 80% remain. Some MPs, even the

:17:26.:17:30.

Labour leadership has made it clear, but they will support Article 50.

:17:31.:17:37.

Some Labour MPs have no choice but to vote against. Otherwise they will

:17:38.:17:41.

haemorrhage votes to the Liberal Democrats, to the Greens and other

:17:42.:17:50.

leave their lose their -- lose their seats. If you look at the Tory MPs,

:17:51.:17:58.

people who voted against the government yesterday, these are

:17:59.:18:01.

people that the chairman of select committees. Very well respected.

:18:02.:18:06.

George Osborne who is still thinking about a political comeback,

:18:07.:18:11.

abstained. That is as significant as Diane Abbott not showing up for a

:18:12.:18:16.

vote. Yes, the Labour Party is in a bind but the Tory party is not as

:18:17.:18:22.

stable as people think it is. Good. We are on the BBC, I went. That has

:18:23.:18:34.

warned the Cockle of my heart. The impartial BBC.

:18:35.:18:40.

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

:18:41.:18:44.

The snowdrops are out, Carol, aren't they? It is a good start to the day,

:18:45.:18:58.

wherever you are. Cloudy in the East but brighter in the West. There is

:18:59.:19:03.

ice on untreated surfaces. The weather in the West is more

:19:04.:19:06.

unsettled. This weather front has been producing the rain and today,

:19:07.:19:10.

it will try and move it back towards the West. In doing so, we will pull

:19:11.:19:14.

in these cold continental air behind it. So the cold air seeping over

:19:15.:19:19.

towards many areas today. Not all, as you can see from the yellow but

:19:20.:19:23.

across many. A cold start this morning. South-west England and

:19:24.:19:28.

parts of Wales, some ice and frost. But there will be sunshine. Across

:19:29.:19:33.

central and eastern parts of England and Wales, we are looking at quite a

:19:34.:19:37.

bit of cloud producing some showers. Northern Ireland, a cold start and

:19:38.:19:45.

some patchy fog. The north-east seeing some rain. For Scotland, rein

:19:46.:19:50.

in the east and clearer skies to the West. That means some ice but also

:19:51.:19:55.

some sunshine. The fog will not last. Further snow in the Grampians.

:19:56.:19:59.

Through the course in the day, as it turns colder. Later on, it will

:20:00.:20:02.

drop. We are not looking at significant levels of snow. In the

:20:03.:20:07.

east, you could see the odd wintry flurry today but again, you are

:20:08.:20:11.

looking at sleet rather than substantial amounts of snow.

:20:12.:20:15.

Wherever you are, it will feel cold but not as cold towards the West.

:20:16.:20:19.

Through this evening and tonight, particularly through western areas

:20:20.:20:22.

where you have your skies, we are looking at fog. There is the risk of

:20:23.:20:28.

ice on untreated surfaces. We still pull in these easterly wind and

:20:29.:20:31.

still have a brisk wind going on in the West. With the showers,

:20:32.:20:35.

increasingly some of those will also be wintry. On the coast, there will

:20:36.:20:39.

be sleet. As we come inland, there will be snow and sleet. There are

:20:40.:20:44.

showers. And you know the drill with showers, not all of us will see one.

:20:45.:20:48.

Tomorrow, some parts of eastern England and Scotland could see that

:20:49.:20:53.

combination on the coast. Showers, rain and sleet. Inland of sleet and

:20:54.:20:58.

of snow. Again, we don't expect huge amounts to be falling. There will be

:20:59.:21:01.

snow in the Pennines and the Grampians and out towards the West

:21:02.:21:04.

there will be the brightest skies. Look at those temperatures. Out was

:21:05.:21:08.

the West, we're looking at four Celsius. Again on Friday, eastern

:21:09.:21:12.

areas are prone to snow. Let so on the coast and more so inland.

:21:13.:21:16.

Especially across north-east England and across the borders, eastern

:21:17.:21:20.

parts of Aberdeenshire and into the Grampians and the Pennines. A cold

:21:21.:21:24.

they generally that speaking about that snow, at lower levels, some of

:21:25.:21:28.

us could have two or three centimetres. Twice that is possible

:21:29.:21:29.

on higher ground. Plenty more from Carol throughout

:21:30.:21:44.

the day. Looking at the front page of the Times which we were picking

:21:45.:21:48.

up on, teachers wearing body cameras to film unruly pupils. They're using

:21:49.:21:55.

police style cameras and they are used in at least two comprehensive

:22:01.:22:06.

They are using it as a behavioural experiment. They do not record all

:22:07.:22:10.

:22:11.:22:14.

:22:15.:22:27.

will talk about it more later. Benny is here with the business news.

German-owned Aldi has overtaken the Co-operative

:22:53.:22:55.

as Britain's fifth biggest supermarket, industry data shows.

:22:56.:22:57.

Aldi's sales rose 12.4% year-on-year in the 12 weeks to 29 January,

:22:58.:23:00.

taking its market share to 6.2% and ahead of the Co-op's 6%,

:23:01.:23:03.

according to research firm Kantar Worldpanel.

:23:04.:23:05.

It underlines the challenge the big retailers have faced

:23:06.:23:07.

from discounters such as Aldi and its German rival Lidl.

:23:08.:23:10.

Sales at Lidl rose 9.4%, taking its market share to 4.5%.

The housebuilder Redrow says there has been a profit in the last year.

:23:21.:23:32.

They completed 13% more properties but after the government described

:23:33.:23:38.

the UK's housing market is broken. It says developers are not building

:23:39.:23:43.

enough homes to meet demand and that is keeping house prices artificially

:23:44.:23:47.

high. I'm going to speak to them was of Redrow in a minute. Interesting

:23:48.:23:53.

to see those prefab houses being built. Fascinating. You can

basically go in and choose it off the shelf.

Thank you for watching us on Breakfast this morning.

:24:05.:24:07.

Humiliating and degrading, just two of the words used

:24:08.:24:09.

to describe the treatment of some rape claimants in Britain's courts.

:24:10.:24:12.

Victim support groups told BBC Breakfast that people who say

:24:13.:24:15.

they've been raped are being routinely questioned

:24:16.:24:17.

Some would argue that's vital for a fair trial,

:24:18.:24:20.

but others suggest it is irrelevant and putting people

:24:21.:24:23.

This morning a bill will be presented to MPs in Parliament,

:24:24.:24:27.

arguing more should be done to protect possible rape victims

:24:28.:24:29.

Sees other places where justice is served but today, claims that in

:24:30.:24:50.

some cases it is where rape victims feel violated all over again. It was

:24:51.:24:55.

awful to be degraded in such a way and to be so totally humiliated.

:24:56.:25:06.

Ivy's retrial ended in 2015 but she said the grilling she received was

:25:07.:25:10.

as bad as the physical assault. Sellar specific questions they asked

:25:11.:25:14.

me were how many is sexual partners have had? The accused me of someone

:25:15.:25:21.

who was promiscuous. It was appalling. I was told that line of

:25:22.:25:24.

questioning wasn't allowed, it was consigned to the Dark Ages and it

:25:25.:25:30.

didn't happen. But it does. And it does. The charity told me this

:25:31.:25:37.

happens too often. We are hearing as victims being questioned about the

:25:38.:25:41.

number of sexual partners they have had in the past or the colour of the

:25:42.:25:45.

dress they were wearing at the time of the attack or even behaviour in

:25:46.:25:49.

the past of the victim that they have had a mental health issue or

:25:50.:25:53.

whether they have had an issue with alcohol in the past, somehow been

:25:54.:25:56.

brought into this as being relevant that what it is actually doing is

:25:57.:25:59.

victim shaming and blaming. Detection for victims already exist

:26:00.:26:05.

under section 41 of the youth Justice and criminal act. References

:26:06.:26:10.

to sexual activity should only be rarely allowed but new research

:26:11.:26:14.

carried out in court in Newcastle suggests this might be happening in

:26:15.:26:19.

around one third of all cases. What I fear is that we are going to the

:26:20.:26:23.

hard old days of the 80s in the 70s were victims were essentially the

:26:24.:26:26.

dock themselves and interrogated, quizzed over past. The time is right

:26:27.:26:36.

now to address justice. This is why today the MP will present a private

:26:37.:26:43.

members bar where victims can go who might be scared away from making a

:26:44.:26:47.

complaint. If you had known then how you would be treated, would you have

:26:48.:26:54.

proceeded? Definitely not. It was a total character annihilation. Last

:26:55.:27:00.

year, there were around 36,000 rape allegations made to police and only

:27:01.:27:02.

2.5 thousand convictions. Campaigners believe that is because

:27:03.:27:08.

some victims are dropping out of the judicial process echoes they fear

:27:09.:27:12.

what will happen to them under cross-examination in court. In a

:27:13.:27:17.

statement, the Ministry of Justice says the bar for the disclosure of

:27:18.:27:21.

complaints of sexual history is high that we have listened to the

:27:22.:27:24.

concerns raised and are looking at how the law is used in practice.

:27:25.:27:31.

They need to rebalance it in favour of the victim. Others say defendants

:27:32.:27:35.

are equally entitled to a fair trial but the balance cannot shift too

:27:36.:27:37.

far. We will talk about that more at

:27:38.:27:40.

length at ten past eight. details of organisations offering

:35:06.:35:11.

Interesting stage management yesterday, wasn't it? A fantastic

:35:12.:35:15.

vote of confidence in Claudio Ranieri. He gave everyone time to

:35:16.:35:24.

read the released statement and then had a press conference. It was all

:35:25.:35:29.

thought through. He is confident. There is something going on. All

:35:30.:35:36.

sorts of whispers about discontent. Players are not happy, coaches are

:35:37.:35:41.

not happy, staff are not talking to each other. But he did get

:35:42.:35:43.

unwavering support. Leicester City have given

yesterday saying "the entire club is, and will remain,

united behind its manager." Of course, when you don't win,

you lack a little bit of confidence. Fortunately, these

:36:02.:36:06.

players are warriors. They have already

:36:07.:36:08.

lived this situation. They lived with the good things,

to get ready for the England game on Saturday and they have

:39:04.:39:09.

some injury concerns. We can make a fuss about it

:39:10.:39:15.

but that will be an excuse. we have quick turnarounds

:39:16.:39:34.

with more games. It is something you

:39:35.:39:36.

have to deal with. There is that physicality

:39:37.:39:38.

at an international level. We experience it in the season

:39:39.:39:41.

and we have to get on with it. I have some beer facts for you. That

:39:42.:39:55.

is an IPA, Indian pale ale, 5%. Really? Sally... You can tell I am

:39:56.:40:05.

not a beer expert. I have been doing some beer Googling. Going down a

:40:06.:40:10.

storm. As is the Six Nations. Unsurprisingly. Saturday will be

:40:11.:40:13.

fantastic. Brilliant. Thank you. Were joined by a representative who

:40:14.:40:34.

will tell us about a trial where school teachers will wear body cams.

:40:35.:40:40.

This is happening in two schools in agreement with local education

:40:41.:40:45.

authorities. It is the first trial of teachers actually wearing video

:40:46.:40:51.

cameras in classrooms. The idea is that there are several reasons for

:40:52.:40:56.

doing it but one overarching reason is to reduce low level disruption in

:40:57.:41:01.

the classroom so they can get on with teaching. Many questions. Do

:41:02.:41:07.

the pupils know the teachers are wearing the body cameras? Yes. The

:41:08.:41:12.

body cameras are designed like policeman cameras, to be highly

:41:13.:41:16.

visible. They are not running all the time. They are only switched on

:41:17.:41:21.

when they are required or as is necessary. There is usually a light.

:41:22.:41:26.

The students can see themselves being filmed on the chest of the

:41:27.:41:32.

teacher. Why have the teachers decided this is necessary? I think

:41:33.:41:37.

it was not just the teachers. It was a whole series of people involved in

:41:38.:41:42.

the decision. But you'd do get a lot of complaints from teachers having

:41:43.:41:50.

to be in charge of controlling the class rather than teaching at. This

:41:51.:41:55.

is a way to get rid of the disruption to get the teaching hours

:41:56.:42:02.

doing teaching. It is only a pilot scheme. Is there evidence it is

:42:03.:42:07.

working? Yes. Everyone seems happy with it that is involved in the

:42:08.:42:12.

project. The parents have been fully informed. The teachers themselves

:42:13.:42:17.

that are using the cameras seem to be fairly happy with them. But there

:42:18.:42:23.

is no formal evaluation at this stage. It is just the pilot stage.

:42:24.:42:29.

For example, if there where an incident, it was filmed, what would

:42:30.:42:35.

that footage be used for? It is quite interesting in schools

:42:36.:42:40.

actually because you could use it for standard... You could use it in

:42:41.:42:43.

the standard way that the police use it which would be either to

:42:44.:42:47.

prosecute or at least offer cautions or whatever. So, within a school

:42:48.:42:54.

contexts, that may be in the disciplinarian procedure as

:42:55.:43:00.

evidence. But you have more options in the school because you can

:43:01.:43:03.

actually use it to teach the students through reflection, perhaps

:43:04.:43:07.

involve the parents in it as well, avoiding the disciplinary process

:43:08.:43:12.

and bringing about the desired change in behaviour without

:43:13.:43:17.

resorting to a discipline process. There has been some criticism

:43:18.:43:21.

already. Is it appropriate for schools to be collecting this type

:43:22.:43:25.

of evidence? I think you have to bear in mind that many schools have

:43:26.:43:29.

already got CCTV cameras, perhaps not always in the classroom. There

:43:30.:43:34.

has been some controversy recently about whether you should have in

:43:35.:43:37.

school toilet because there are problems happening there. The

:43:38.:43:42.

cameras are already without. Most of the pupils have smartphones. So we

:43:43.:43:48.

are moving into of an age were those things are becoming more ubiquitous.

:43:49.:43:52.

This is just a way of actually engaging it, I think, in a way that

:43:53.:43:59.

is not intrusive and big brother like. That is what I was going to

:44:00.:44:04.

ask. Tom Ellis, a Criminal Justice researcher from Portsmouth

:44:05.:44:06.

University. He revealed the information. Thank you very much. Do

:44:07.:44:11.

get in contact if you want to talk to us about it. It is a new trial.

:44:12.:44:21.

What was it? Breakfast at BBC! Lots of people do know how to find us.

:44:22.:44:24.

This is Breakfast. The main stories. The Bill authorising Theresa May

:44:25.:44:33.

to start the process of leaving the European Union is due

:44:34.:44:37.

to reach its final stages Efforts to treat more patients

:44:38.:44:40.

in the community have neither saved money nor eased pressure on the NHS

:44:41.:44:45.

- according to a report This weather forecast I will do a

:44:46.:44:55.

count of how many times you say the word cold. Good morning.

:44:56.:44:57.

It is -4 in Northern Ireland. -3 here. It is colder in Northern

:44:58.:45:08.

Ireland. Quite good start. This morning, fairly cloudy in the east.

:45:09.:45:13.

Some rain and drizzle around. In the west, it is right, it is cold, the

:45:14.:45:18.

risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Frost. This ridge of high pressure

:45:19.:45:23.

means we are looking at sunshine. This weather front in the east means

:45:24.:45:29.

we will try to get it back today. Cold Continental air will be allowed

:45:30.:45:33.

to push across our shores. Where we have the yellows, comparatively

:45:34.:45:39.

mild. In the west, some sunshine to look board to. Central and eastern

:45:40.:45:44.

areas, still some showers. Most of those will be with rain and the odd

:45:45.:45:48.

snow flurry though nothing substantial. Further snow falling in

:45:49.:45:54.

the Grampians. Later in the day as the temperatures fall, we will see

:45:55.:45:58.

some at low levels, though not substantial. Northern England, the

:45:59.:46:01.

Midlands, East Anglia, the south, all that cloud around. A few

:46:02.:46:07.

showers. Some sleet. That is all. Six degrees in London. The west,

:46:08.:46:13.

still, we have some of the showers. The south-west, a beautiful

:46:14.:46:17.

afternoon. A lot of sunshine. Not as cold. West Wales, a lot of sunshine,

:46:18.:46:23.

the same, not as cold. The east of Wales, cloud once more. Northern

:46:24.:46:29.

Ireland, a cracking day ahead. Seven degrees in Belfast. It is currently

:46:30.:46:34.

freezing. Overnight, where we have the clear skies in the west is where

:46:35.:46:38.

the temperatures will drop. Once again, looking at a widespread

:46:39.:46:43.

frost. It could well be a little bit of ice to look forward to in the

:46:44.:46:47.

morning depending on how damp it gets. More cloud in central and

:46:48.:46:51.

eastern areas. Still producing some showers. The temperatures will be

:46:52.:46:55.

lower so some of those will have a wintry component in them down the

:46:56.:46:59.

east coast of Scotland and England. We start tomorrow with the sunshine

:47:00.:47:03.

out towards the west. Like clouds are producing some showers. What you

:47:04.:47:07.

will find us along the coastline of Scotland and also England, you will

:47:08.:47:11.

find it will be rain and sleet. You do not have to travel to fight

:47:12.:47:17.

inland to find a bit of sleet and snow. -- too far. They will not be

:47:18.:47:22.

enough to build a snowman. The cold air is going further west. Northern

:47:23.:47:31.

Ireland, some weather. England, across the Pennines, north-east

:47:32.:47:36.

England, part of the Grampians and Aberdeenshire, lower levels. 1-2

:47:37.:47:42.

centimetres. Almost twice that with a bit more height.

:47:43.:47:50.

No snowmen? Maybe in the Grampians. I think you and I can do that,

:47:51.:47:57.

Carol. Thanks, Carol. Yesterday the government published

:47:58.:48:03.

plans for a new housing strategy - this morning Ben is speaking

:48:04.:48:06.

to the boss of one of The traditional housebuilders, the

:48:07.:48:18.

ones that build on building sites are not either factory. The

:48:19.:48:21.

accusation is that they are not building enough and that is why

:48:22.:48:24.

prices are going up. Redrow is one of the big developers

:48:25.:48:26.

in England and Wales - But it's the Government's Housing

:48:27.:48:29.

white paper that will have the biggest impact

:48:30.:48:37.

over the coming year - so let's speak to the

:48:38.:48:40.

Chairman Steve Morgan. Good morning, Mr Morgan. You without

:48:41.:48:56.

your heart the early results. Three things struck me. ?140 million in

:48:57.:49:02.

pre-tax profits. That is at 35% on the Centre and lusty. Prices that

:49:03.:49:06.

you can sell for our rocketing, are by 7%. -- last year. The housing

:49:07.:49:12.

market is broken, say some people but it is not broken for you, is it?

:49:13.:49:18.

Saying the market was broken is an unfortunate phrase. It certainly

:49:19.:49:23.

isn't broken. Our house prices are up 7% but that is not inflation,

:49:24.:49:27.

that is more to do with the fact that all of our growth is coming in

:49:28.:49:32.

the south of England and in London where house prices are higher debt

:49:33.:49:36.

to the rest of the group which is in the Midlands and the north. It's

:49:37.:49:39.

interesting that you say that it is not broken yet many people watching

:49:40.:49:43.

this will say they are not able to get a deposit together to buy a

:49:44.:49:46.

house, high prices artificially high and they can't get in the ladder and

:49:47.:49:51.

yet you are able to sell your houses for 7% more over the course of the

:49:52.:49:55.

year. If you are trying to get on the ladder, it is absolutely broken.

:49:56.:49:59.

Yes but it is not the builders' fault. You have been looking at

:50:00.:50:03.

successive planning policies over the last years. There haven't been

:50:04.:50:06.

enough houses built because they haven't been enough planning

:50:07.:50:09.

permissions to build them. The system is still broken today. In

:50:10.:50:15.

that sense, the housing market is broken it as it's not fit for

:50:16.:50:22.

purpose. What would you like to see change? It's funny because we have

:50:23.:50:28.

site in the north of England right opposite a site that we had

:50:29.:50:32.

permission for in 1990. This time we got 68 conditions to clear which it

:50:33.:50:38.

takes for ever to clear before you can get on. In 1990, we have six

:50:39.:50:44.

conditions. That is the root of the problem. It just takes so long to

:50:45.:50:49.

clear through the bureaucracy. You call that planning process.

:50:50.:50:56.

Unfortunately remaining as ponderous as ever. You are talking about the

:50:57.:51:07.

landbank of where you can develop. Give me a timeline. Relatively a

:51:08.:51:14.

third of the houses are stuck in the planning process. We don't have the

:51:15.:51:18.

approvals and conditions cleared. The actual net buildable is more

:51:19.:51:25.

like about 16 thousand, 17,000 plots which is just over three years'

:51:26.:51:37.

supply. We need the pipeline to sustain growth. That is why, as a

:51:38.:51:41.

country, we are still not building enough houses. The government set a

:51:42.:51:48.

target of around 3 million to properties by 2020. Buy your own

:51:49.:51:51.

admission, it is a small contribution. We are not building

:51:52.:51:56.

enough. The larger builders are building more than they have ever

:51:57.:52:01.

built that the issue is the smaller, medium-sized builders. Again, they

:52:02.:52:05.

have these huge problem of overcoming planning red tape and

:52:06.:52:11.

burden. The amount... If we have the same amount of builders as we had in

:52:12.:52:16.

2007 today, we would be building an extra 20,000 homes in the country

:52:17.:52:19.

but the reality is, the planning system has got so bureaucratic that

:52:20.:52:27.

it is a huge barrier to entry. The SNP are all about disappearing and

:52:28.:52:31.

that is the problem. The small builders are not building what they

:52:32.:52:35.

used to build. OK, it is good to talk to you. Steve Morgan, the

:52:36.:52:37.

chairman of Redrow home. We heard it from the boss. The

:52:38.:52:46.

planning process is as ponderous as ever. They want to build more houses

:52:47.:52:50.

and they have the sites for 25,000 of them that the planning process is

:52:51.:52:55.

too slow and it continues to be a shortage of skilled workers. That

:52:56.:52:58.

could be many of the things that are holding those big housebuilders back

:52:59.:53:01.

that we will be discussing over the course of the week.

:53:02.:53:02.

It has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth -

:53:03.:53:06.

and it's currently playing in Cumbria.

:53:07.:53:08.

Tens of thousands of starlings are performing a nightly

:53:09.:53:10.

Their synchronised flying creates an amazing aerial ballet.

:53:11.:53:13.

The Friends of the Lake District has organised a number of viewing events

:53:14.:53:17.

before the season ends later this month -

:53:18.:53:19.

It's an aerial ballet with a cast of thousands.

:53:20.:53:37.

A mass of starlings flying in mesmerising harmony.

:53:38.:53:41.

The dictionary tells us this is called a murmuration.

:53:42.:53:45.

It also tells us the word has been in use for hundreds of years

:53:46.:53:49.

Nobody really knows why it is called this.

:53:50.:53:54.

It's an interesting word because they do not really murmur.

:53:55.:53:56.

But why do they form these patterns and move together in harmony?

:53:57.:54:05.

There is some suggestion that come together at dusk in a big group

:54:06.:54:12.

because it protects them from predators.

:54:13.:54:17.

Why they do this and amazing aerial ballet before they settle down for

:54:18.:54:21.

the night, nobody knows. Why would anyone want

:54:22.:54:23.

to spend a night here? And so an audience gathered

:54:24.:54:28.

in Cumbria for one of the greatest free

:54:29.:54:30.

free shows on Earth. This is one of several murmuration

:54:31.:54:39.

viewings posted by Friends of the Lake District.

:54:40.:54:40.

I'm a reporter for my school magazine.

:54:41.:54:42.

I'm going to write it up on the computer.

:54:43.:54:51.

Are you going to take some pictures as well?

:54:52.:54:53.

Hopefully my mum has remembered my phone.

:54:54.:54:56.

I have two capture it on my camera over

:54:57.:54:59.

there and if I miss anything, can I borrow your shots?

:55:00.:55:02.

As dusk gathers, so too do the stars of the show.

:55:03.:55:20.

The sky turns black and it's just amazing.

:55:21.:55:30.

I've seen them before in other places but nothing

:55:31.:55:35.

Someone estimated there was 60,000 or so

:55:36.:55:41.

Then as darkness falls, so too do the starlings.

:55:42.:55:53.

It is curtain down on another perfect performance.

:55:54.:56:04.

We were talking about an expert earlier on and they still don't know

:56:05.:56:11.

how they know whether to turn left or swoop at the same time. It's

:56:12.:56:15.

really lovely. It's the season at the moment so if you can see them,

:56:16.:56:17.

too. Time now to get the news,

:56:18.:56:19.

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

:56:20.:00:22.

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. The Brexit bill goes to the vote

:00:23.:00:25.

as MPs decide whether to give Theresa May the power

:00:26.:00:28.

to leave the EU. that any final deal will be

:00:29.:00:32.

put to the Commons. Tonight it could be Labour MPs

:00:33.:00:35.

defying their leader. We'll be live at Westminster

:00:36.:00:37.

with the latest. Campaigners demand tougher limits

:00:38.:00:52.

on the use of sexual It was awful to be degraded in such

:00:53.:01:10.

a way. To be so totally humiliated. An overdraft could cost you five

:01:11.:01:29.

times more than a payday loan. Is it the dreaded vote of

:01:30.:01:38.

confidence. Leicester City have given their support to their manager

:01:39.:01:42.

despite the reigning Premier League champions being just a point above

:01:43.:01:49.

the relegation zone. We will be looking at the science

:01:50.:01:59.

behind starling murmur rations. And Carol has the weather. It will

:02:00.:02:03.

turn colder. It is snow showers. What we have got today are brighter

:02:04.:02:08.

skies in the west with the risk of ice. More cloud in central and

:02:09.:02:11.

eastern areas with rain. But I will have a full forecast in 15 minutes.

:02:12.:02:24.

The Bill giving Theresa May the power to start the process

:02:25.:02:30.

of leaving the EU is due to reach its final stages

:02:31.:02:33.

Last night, the Government saw off a potential rebellion

:02:34.:02:37.

from Conservative backbenchers, but today's debate could cause more

:02:38.:02:39.

Labour rifts with its MPs told to back the Bill.

:02:40.:02:41.

Here's our political correspondent Tom Bateman.

:02:42.:02:44.

A battle for control over the process of Brexit.

:02:45.:02:45.

Last night MPs ended more than seven hours of debate which contained

:02:46.:02:50.

what some saw as a concession from the Government.

:02:51.:02:58.

I can confirm on the final agreement to be approved before both Houses

:02:59.:03:02.

In other words MPs will get to vote on any future Brexit deal before

:03:03.:03:10.

it is signed off by the Government and the EU, but Theresa May's

:03:11.:03:13.

negotiations with other EU leaders are likely to be complex and some

:03:14.:03:16.

MPs are worried about her threat to walk away from the talks rather

:03:17.:03:19.

What the House wants is the opportunity to send

:03:20.:03:26.

the Government back to our EU partners to negotiate a deal if one

:03:27.:03:28.

Last night the Government saw off a number of attempts to add

:03:29.:03:34.

conditions to the Bill which gives it the power to start Brexit.

:03:35.:03:37.

But some backbenchers remain unhappy at what ministers offered

:03:38.:03:40.

and the divisions between those who argued for Brexit

:03:41.:03:45.

and those who had campaigned against it were plain to see.

:03:46.:03:49.

The Bill reaches its final stages in the Commons today threatening

:03:50.:03:51.

to expose further rifts within Labour and more tough

:03:52.:03:53.

Our Political Correspondent Carol Walker is in

:03:54.:04:06.

People will be looking closely at how MPs will vote? Good morning. I

:04:07.:04:20.

think we will see more passionate debate and some more important

:04:21.:04:23.

debates in the Houses of Parliament today, but the Government is

:04:24.:04:26.

confident that by tonight it will have got through all its stages in

:04:27.:04:31.

the Commons. It goes on to the Lords, but after that series of

:04:32.:04:36.

convincing victories yesterday, I think ministers are hopeful that MPs

:04:37.:04:41.

will back it tonight and then the Lords will be reluctant to try to

:04:42.:04:46.

introduce too many amendments to disrupt the legislation too much.

:04:47.:04:50.

What happens then? Well, I think much of the focus tonight will be

:04:51.:04:53.

back on to the Labour Party because Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader,

:04:54.:04:58.

has said that all his MPs should vote to support the legislation.

:04:59.:05:02.

That's very difficult for some who campaigned very strongly to remain

:05:03.:05:06.

in the EU, whose constituents may have wanted very much to remain in

:05:07.:05:11.

the EU. There was a significant rebellion, more than 40 MPs last

:05:12.:05:16.

week, there were three resignations so far from his Shadow Cabinet and I

:05:17.:05:20.

think many people will be watching Diane Abbott closely. She is the

:05:21.:05:24.

Shadow Home Secretary, a close ally of the Labour leader. She failed to

:05:25.:05:28.

vote last week prompting accusations from some of her colleagues who had

:05:29.:05:33.

seen her looking perky earlier in the day it was a bad case of Brexit

:05:34.:05:38.

flu to avoid an embarrassing vote. If she fails to turn up today that

:05:39.:05:42.

means a real problem for the Labour Party. Thank you very much.

:05:43.:05:52.

It's been revealed that teachers in two schools have begun using body

:05:53.:05:55.

cameras in the classroom to record misbehaving pupils.

:05:56.:05:56.

Staff at the two comprehensives in England are wearing the cameras,

:05:57.:05:59.

which are similar to those worn by police, in a three-month trial.

:06:00.:06:02.

It's understood they don't constantly record and only

:06:03.:06:04.

do so when switched on during an incident.

:06:05.:06:06.

Privacy campaigners have criticised the move.

:06:07.:06:07.

The Department of Education says is a matter for the schools.

:06:08.:06:11.

Tom Ellis is part of the trial. He told us on Breakfast that the

:06:12.:06:20.

cameras hand teachers back control of the classroom. We get a lot of

:06:21.:06:25.

complaints from teachers about having to be in charge of

:06:26.:06:28.

controlling the class rather than teaching it. I think this is some

:06:29.:06:32.

way of trying to get rid of the disruption and actually end up

:06:33.:06:35.

spending more of your teaching hours actually doing the teaching.

:06:36.:06:43.

Government lawyers in America have been trying to convince an appeals

:06:44.:06:45.

court to reinstate President Trump's ban on people from seven

:06:46.:06:48.

mainly Muslim countries entering the United States.

:06:49.:06:50.

They said Mr Trump was acting within his powers and that the court

:06:51.:06:52.

which suspended the ban last week made an error.

:06:53.:06:55.

But two US states argued it discriminated against Muslims.

:06:56.:07:03.

Plans to treat more patients in the community have so far failed

:07:04.:07:06.

to save money or reduce hospital admissions

:07:07.:07:08.

in England according to of the Government's spending watchdog.

:07:09.:07:10.

The National Audit Office says ministers

:07:11.:07:17.

were over optimistic in thinking a scheme called the Better Care Fund

:07:18.:07:20.

When residents of this care home in Sutton have to go to hospital,

:07:21.:07:25.

an innovative scheme helps cut their stay to a minimum.

:07:26.:07:29.

Their medical and personal details go with them in distinctive red bags

:07:30.:07:32.

so doctors and nurses can make faster and more effective

:07:33.:07:34.

It's been a great asset for us and we're able to pass

:07:35.:07:42.

the information on with a guarantee that it's going from

:07:43.:07:48.

ambulance to A and to the ward and following them through.

:07:49.:07:51.

We have been able to reduce time of stay by four days

:07:52.:07:53.

which is massive when you think about how stretched

:07:54.:07:56.

The National Audit Office says the spending of more than ?5 billion

:07:57.:08:06.

of council money on integrating health and social care has not

:08:07.:08:09.

Starting in 2014-2015, the scheme aimed to reduce emergency

:08:10.:08:18.

admissions to hospital by more than 100,000.

:08:19.:08:22.

But in 2015-2016, admissions actually went up by 87,000.

:08:23.:08:25.

Over the same period, the project was supposed to reduce

:08:26.:08:28.

the number of days lost because people were stuck

:08:29.:08:32.

in hospital to just under 300,000 but they had increased.

:08:33.:08:40.

The Public Accounts Committee wants long-term solutions rather

:08:41.:08:42.

They need to look at why this isn't working.

:08:43.:08:48.

What is it that is stopping the beds being available even

:08:49.:08:51.

when there is some money being thrown at them,

:08:52.:08:55.

The Government says it's too soon to judge the impact

:08:56.:08:58.

Yemen is on the brink of famine according to the United Nations.

:08:59.:09:06.

The country has been in the grip of a civil war between

:09:07.:09:09.

government forces and Houthi rebel groups since 2014.

:09:10.:09:13.

It's estimated that 80% of the population are in urgent need

:09:14.:09:16.

of humanitarian assistance, with children the worst affected.

:09:17.:09:34.

We've heard about the travel ban but one other story involving

:09:35.:09:37.

President Trump that's making headlines in US - does he,

:09:38.:09:39.

Lots of old pictures of him wearing a bathrobe have

:09:40.:09:48.

It's after his press secretary told journalists the President

:09:49.:09:51.

The White House had apparently been angered by a New York Times article

:09:52.:09:55.

which suggested President Trump sits around watching TV in his dressing

:09:56.:09:58.

It's become one of Donald Trump's most used phrases.

:09:59.:10:04.

The president's latest spat with the media is over this,

:10:05.:10:17.

a bath robe, and whether he does or does not own one.

:10:18.:10:21.

This New York Times report described a chaotic start to his presidency.

:10:22.:10:28.

But it was the claim that Mr Trump spent considerable time watching

:10:29.:10:33.

television in his bathroom that seemed to particularly

:10:34.:10:34.

That is literally the epitome of fake news.

:10:35.:10:38.

I mean, start at the top, I don't think the President

:10:39.:10:40.

From top to bottom it is a made-up story that does not exist.

:10:41.:10:49.

And the President tweeted, of course, his annoyance

:10:50.:10:51.

at what he described as poor reporting.

:10:52.:10:54.

And that bath robe denial prompted people across the globe to take

:10:55.:10:57.

to social media to contradict the White House.

:10:58.:11:12.

Some delved deep into archives to find these older images.

:11:13.:11:23.

There were Donald Trump branded robes too.

:11:24.:11:26.

And it spawned parodies and spoof images.

:11:27.:11:28.

This picture of Ronald Reagan did the rounds.

:11:29.:11:35.

One Tweet said he should not be so shy about wearing the garment.

:11:36.:11:41.

But others on line said the government and public had more

:11:42.:11:44.

serious matters to discuss rather than his choice of loungewear.

:11:45.:11:50.

Humiliating and degrading, just two of the words used

:11:51.:11:53.

to describe the treatment of some rape claimants in Britain's courts.

:11:54.:11:56.

Victim support groups told BBC Breakfast that people

:11:57.:12:00.

who say they've been raped are being routinely questioned

:12:01.:12:01.

Some would argue that's vital for a fair trial,

:12:02.:12:09.

but others suggest it is irrelevant and putting people

:12:10.:12:14.

This morning a Bill will be presented to MPs in Parliament,

:12:15.:12:19.

arguing more should be done to protect possible rape victims

:12:20.:12:22.

These are the places where justice is served,

:12:23.:12:32.

but today claims that in some cases it is where rape victims feel

:12:33.:12:35.

It was awful to be degraded in such a way, to be so totally humiliated.

:12:36.:12:43.

Ivy's rape trial ended with conviction at the end of 2015,

:12:44.:12:45.

but she said the grilling she received felt as bad

:12:46.:12:47.

The specific questions they asked me where,

:12:48.:12:56.

how many previous sexual partners have I had?

:12:57.:12:59.

They accused me of being someone who was promiscuous.

:13:00.:13:02.

I was told that line of questioning was allowed,

:13:03.:13:09.

it was resigned to the dark ages, it didn't happen.

:13:10.:13:12.

The charity Voice for Victims tells me this is happening too often.

:13:13.:13:19.

We are hearing from victims being questioned about the number

:13:20.:13:24.

of sexual partners they have had in the past or the colour

:13:25.:13:29.

of the dress they were wearing at the time of the attack,

:13:30.:13:33.

but what it is actually doing is victim shaming and blaming.

:13:34.:13:46.

Protection for victims already exists.

:13:47.:13:55.

Under section 41 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act

:13:56.:13:59.

references to sexual history should be heavily restricted

:14:00.:14:03.

But new research carried out in courts in Newcastle suggest this

:14:04.:14:14.

might be happening in around a third of all cases.

:14:15.:14:18.

What I fear is we are going back to the bad old days of the 80s,

:14:19.:14:26.

the 70s, when victims were effectively put in the dock

:14:27.:14:29.

This is why today the MP will present a Private Member's Bill

:14:30.:14:37.

to parliament to offer better protection for victims.

:14:38.:14:43.

If you had known then how you were going to be treated,

:14:44.:14:47.

Definitely not, it was a total character annihilation.

:14:48.:14:55.

Campaigners say we need to redress the court room balance back

:14:56.:15:00.

Others say defendants are equally entitled to a fair trial.

:15:01.:15:08.

Joining us now from Westminster is the MP Liz Saville Roberts,

:15:09.:15:15.

who'll present her Private Member's Bill to the House of

:15:16.:15:21.

Here in the studio, is Hannah Quirk, a senior

:15:22.:15:28.

lecturer from the University of Manchester's School of Law.

:15:29.:15:29.

We have spoken to one lady who said she would think again about court.

:15:30.:16:04.

Have you seen this type of questioning? Has it changed people's

:16:05.:16:24.

minds about what they are doing? We have taken evidence from a number of

:16:25.:16:34.

victims who felt they were Why is it happening and should

:16:35.:16:57.

attitudes change perhaps? I am concerned this is being used more

:16:58.:17:00.

regularly than it was originally intended. The law that is supposed

:17:01.:17:09.

to prevent this happening is unclear and it was written a few years ago.

:17:10.:17:14.

What worries me is that victims will be concerned that in the back of

:17:15.:17:17.

their minds is the fact that many people now live their lives on

:17:18.:17:20.

social media and they will worry about the sort of evidence they put

:17:21.:17:26.

up on that about their past. We have to address section 41 to make sure

:17:27.:17:31.

there is clarity on that. Also there is clarity on what is expected on

:17:32.:17:38.

procedure from judges. We had evidence in Newcastle that the

:17:39.:17:42.

procedure was not followed correctly. There needs to be a

:17:43.:17:46.

discussion and perhaps training on what constitutes consent with Jewry

:17:47.:17:53.

's. Hannah, it is important to explain what section 41 is and why

:17:54.:17:58.

it is important in rape trials. The previous government introduced

:17:59.:18:03.

legislation saying that this legislation should not be

:18:04.:18:07.

admissible, it should not matter what the complainant had done

:18:08.:18:11.

previously, it would never be relevant. The case was taken to the

:18:12.:18:17.

House of Lords and they said there was an absolute blanket ban, said

:18:18.:18:23.

the legislation was changed to allow specific circumstances where it was

:18:24.:18:28.

relevant. It is difficult for defendants, and I worry sometimes we

:18:29.:18:32.

only hear about these horror stories which of itself may put people off

:18:33.:18:37.

from reporting these cases to the police. If we look at how cases are

:18:38.:18:42.

dealt with, there have been improvements over the last 20 years.

:18:43.:18:47.

I am totally sympathetic to some of the games, but I am not sure more

:18:48.:18:53.

legislation is the way of doing it. You may get prosecutions being

:18:54.:18:55.

stopped if judges think there will not be a fair trial, it may be

:18:56.:19:01.

counter-productive. I want to talk about that discussion of consent.

:19:02.:19:05.

How would that take place and who would lead those discussions? Would

:19:06.:19:11.

that be for the court to do? It is part of the criminal justice system,

:19:12.:19:17.

but if I can return to statistics. 36,000 rapes reported to the police

:19:18.:19:23.

last year and yet only 7.5% of those went to a conviction. We have a

:19:24.:19:30.

situation where we should be almost continually making sure the balance

:19:31.:19:34.

is correct between the rights of the defendant and the complainant. At

:19:35.:19:38.

present there are real concerns that the rights of the victim are playing

:19:39.:19:41.

second fiddle to the rights of the defendant. Thank you both very much.

:19:42.:19:45.

And if you think you've been affected by any of these issues,

:19:46.:19:49.

details of organisations offering information and support are

:19:50.:19:51.

You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:20:03.:20:05.

The Bill authorising Theresa May to start the process of leaving

:20:06.:20:10.

the European Union is due to reach its final stages

:20:11.:20:13.

Efforts to treat more patients in the community have neither saved

:20:14.:20:20.

money nor eased pressure on the NHS according to a report

:20:21.:20:23.

Carroll has told us so many times it is going to be cold.

:20:24.:20:37.

Good morning. It certainly is as we go through the rest of the week and

:20:38.:20:43.

some of us will have some snow. In the West it is a brighter start and

:20:44.:20:47.

a colder start and there is a risk of ice and some fog. There will be

:20:48.:20:52.

sunshine from the word go. In the east we have a weather front across

:20:53.:20:57.

the East Coast and that will drift westwards during the day. A big area

:20:58.:21:02.

of high-pressure stubbing it going further east, but that allows cold

:21:03.:21:07.

air to come into many parts of the UK. In the West there is patchy fog

:21:08.:21:16.

still, that will lift and we are looking at some sunshine. In Central

:21:17.:21:20.

and eastern areas there is more cloud around. There are also showers

:21:21.:21:26.

and patchy rain up the coast. In Scotland we will see further snow

:21:27.:21:30.

today, especially in the Grampians, and we will see some of it at lower

:21:31.:21:37.

levels later on. As we push across England, a cloudy day ahead. You

:21:38.:21:41.

might see the odd wintry flurry coming in from the North Sea, but

:21:42.:21:47.

nothing substantial. More showers in Hampshire and Dorset, but in

:21:48.:21:52.

south-west England it is a beautiful day, nine Celsius in Plymouth. But

:21:53.:21:58.

move further east and there is a bit more cloud in Wales. In Ireland a

:21:59.:22:03.

beautiful day in prospect for you, temperatures are well below

:22:04.:22:08.

freezing. But the temperature will pick up and it will be a pleasant

:22:09.:22:13.

day. In the evening and overnight in the West it will be called, there

:22:14.:22:19.

will be a widespread frost. In central and eastern areas there will

:22:20.:22:24.

be more cloud around. As the temperatures go down, the showers

:22:25.:22:28.

will be wintry. On the coast we are looking at some rain and sleet and

:22:29.:22:33.

some snow showers, but they are showers. By no means will we all see

:22:34.:22:39.

them. Tomorrow on the east of Scotland and England we are looking

:22:40.:22:45.

at that combination. Showers, some wintry on the coast and moving

:22:46.:22:51.

inland. We have also got snow on the Pennines and on the Grampians. In

:22:52.:22:56.

the West it is not a bad day at all, but that cold air is filtering

:22:57.:23:02.

further westwards. On Friday a lot of dry weather, but still those

:23:03.:23:06.

showers and the east of the country is prone to them, rain and sleet. On

:23:07.:23:13.

the mowers in the North East, the Pennines, east of Aberdeenshire and

:23:14.:23:18.

the Grampians, we will see snow even at lower levels, just over an inch.

:23:19.:23:30.

After three days of debate, MPs are set to give the government

:23:31.:23:33.

the green light to start the process of Brexit tonight.

:23:34.:23:36.

But triggering Article 50 is only the beginning

:23:37.:23:38.

of our divorce from the EU, so what happens next?

:23:39.:23:40.

We took two people, one who voted Remain and the other Leave,

:23:41.:23:43.

along to Westminster to watch the Commons debates and discuss

:23:44.:23:45.

with MPs from both sides what the future might hold.

:23:46.:23:48.

Our Political Correspondent Ben Wright reports.

:23:49.:23:52.

The countdown to Brexit is picking up pace.

:23:53.:23:56.

After days of debate, the days of divorce talks are about to start.

:23:57.:24:04.

In Westminster to watch them this week was Lance,

:24:05.:24:08.

a Remain voter and Tony who voted for Britain to leave the EU.

:24:09.:24:12.

Just down there is the House of Commons chamber.

:24:13.:24:16.

From the public gallery, Lance and Tony watched MPs argue

:24:17.:24:20.

about the government's Brexit strategy and what role this place

:24:21.:24:24.

should have as Britain begins to leave the European Union.

:24:25.:24:30.

European Union notification of withdrawal bill committee.

:24:31.:24:33.

That is why I am voting against this amendment, because ultimately

:24:34.:24:39.

It is for the Prime Minister to demonstrate her leadership skills

:24:40.:24:46.

and negotiating skills and to get it right.

:24:47.:24:50.

As we go to that new relationship, please, could we have a say?

:24:51.:24:53.

Not on behalf of Parliament but on behalf of all-out constituents.

:24:54.:25:01.

Not on behalf of Parliament but on behalf of all-our constituents.

:25:02.:25:03.

Afterwards, we chewed it all over with two MPs from different sides

:25:04.:25:08.

of the referendum argument in a Westminster pub.

:25:09.:25:10.

Tony, do you worry that some MPs are trying to slow the whole

:25:11.:25:13.

thing down and even stop Brexit from happening?

:25:14.:25:15.

I feel it's against the will of the people.

:25:16.:25:22.

The Leave vote won but it wasn't by a massive, massive majority.

:25:23.:25:25.

You still have to take into account the 48% of us that voted to stay in.

:25:26.:25:37.

People from every political party have questions because there has

:25:38.:25:40.

been absolutely no detail, no transparency, no sctutiny,

:25:41.:25:43.

I hear a lot of people saying that these objectives

:25:44.:25:53.

The best way to do that is with a united front.

:25:54.:25:58.

So how is Brexit to be served up over the next few months?

:25:59.:26:01.

Theresa May plans to formally tell the EU that Britain prepares

:26:02.:26:04.

to leave by the end of March and then tough talks

:26:05.:26:06.

EU rules say there are two years to sort out a divorce deal with the UK.

:26:07.:26:12.

So, Britain will be out of the EU by the spring of 2019.

:26:13.:26:16.

But sorting out a new trade deal could take much longer.

:26:17.:26:21.

Given the difficulty with coming out of the EU,

:26:22.:26:24.

isn't it important that we get the headline decisions made first

:26:25.:26:27.

What is the point of rushing through a decision like this

:26:28.:26:32.

After three days of debate, do we have a clear plan?

:26:33.:26:41.

We have a positive plan we can put away European friends.

:26:42.:26:44.

The key now is do we have enough flexibility.

:26:45.:26:49.

At the end of the process we then have the best deal

:26:50.:26:51.

Nobody expects a Brexit talks to be this civil.

:26:52.:26:59.

And arguments had over real ale will soon move to real world.

:27:00.:27:11.

Real ale has had a mention on the programme a couple of times today.

:27:12.:27:21.

Yes, Sally mentioned it. Time to get news and travel wherever you

:27:22.:30:40.

I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom in half

:30:41.:30:49.

Now though it's back to Louise and Dan.

:30:50.:30:58.

Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin

:30:59.:31:01.

The bill giving Theresa May the right to start the process

:31:02.:31:03.

of leaving the EU is due to reach its final stages

:31:04.:31:06.

Last night, the government saw off a potential rebellion

:31:07.:31:09.

from Conservative backbenchers, after promising that any final deal

:31:10.:31:12.

But tonight's vote could cause more Labour rifts, with the party's MPs

:31:13.:31:15.

It's been revealed that teachers in two schools have begun using body

:31:16.:31:22.

cameras in the classroom to record misbehaving pupils.

:31:23.:31:24.

Staff at the two comprehensives in England are wearing the cameras,

:31:25.:31:26.

which are similar to those worn by police, in a three-month trial.

:31:27.:31:29.

It's understood they don't constantly record and only

:31:30.:31:31.

do so when switched on during an incident.

:31:32.:31:33.

Privacy campaigners have criticised the move but the Department

:31:34.:31:35.

of Education says it's a matter for individual schools.

:31:36.:31:47.

Tom Ellis, a criminal justice researcher,

:31:48.:31:51.

whose part of the trial, told BBC Breakfast that the cameras

:31:52.:31:54.

helped teachers take back control of the classroom.

:31:55.:31:58.

You do get quite a lot of complaints from teachers about having to be in

:31:59.:32:05.

charge of controlling the class rather than teaching it. I think

:32:06.:32:08.

this is some way of trying to get rid of the disruption and end up

:32:09.:32:13.

spending much more of your teaching hours actually doing the teaching.

:32:14.:32:26.

It's been revealed that teachers in two schools have begun using body

:32:27.:32:29.

cameras in the classroom to record misbehaving pupils.

:32:30.:32:32.

Staff at the two comprehensives in England

:32:33.:32:33.

are wearing the cameras, which are similar to those worn

:32:34.:32:43.

We have a situation where we should be continually making sure the

:32:44.:32:48.

balance is correct between the rights of the defendant and the

:32:49.:32:52.

rights of the complainant. At present there are real concerns that

:32:53.:32:56.

the rights of the victim are playing second fiddle.

:32:57.:33:07.

It's been revealed that teachers in two schools have begun using body

:33:08.:33:10.

The MP Liz Saville Roberts has told BBC Breakfast that the rights

:33:11.:33:13.

of alleged rape victims are not being given as much importance

:33:14.:33:15.

She's calling for legislation which would prevent defence lawyers

:33:16.:33:19.

from routinely using a claimant's past sexual behaviour as evidence.

:33:20.:33:21.

The Ministry of Justice says the bar for disclosing such

:33:22.:33:24.

information is high, but they were listening to concerns.

:33:25.:33:26.

Plans to offer 30 hours of free childcare to three and four year

:33:27.:33:29.

olds in England could lead to a shortage of nursery places,

:33:30.:33:32.

The 15 hours per week children currently receive in term time

:33:33.:33:35.

is set to double from September, but more than half of councils told

:33:36.:33:39.

the Family and Childcare Trust that they were unsure their areas

:33:40.:33:41.

would have adequate provision to cope.

:33:42.:33:43.

The Department for Education says quality, affordable childcare

:33:44.:33:45.

When you retire from being one of the most powerful men

:33:46.:33:48.

in the world, it must be hard to know what to do with all of your

:33:49.:33:52.

No such problem for Barack Obama though, he's been enjoying some

:33:53.:33:56.

"down time" kitesurfing with Richard Branson.

:33:57.:33:57.

The secret service had apparently banned the former president

:33:58.:33:59.

from some of his favourite activities, like surfing,

:34:00.:34:01.

during his time in office because of fears for his safety.

:34:02.:34:04.

That is a hard thing to be able to do. It is made for people younger

:34:05.:34:08.

than me, I have never done it. Let's do a live thing on BBC breakfast!

:34:09.:34:17.

And coming up here on Breakfast this morning...

:34:18.:34:23.

Comedian Hugh Dennis will give us an update on how the Red Nose convoy

:34:24.:34:28.

is getting on delivering supplies in Kenya.

:34:29.:34:30.

Also this morning, flying in perfect harmony.

:34:31.:34:31.

These are thousands of starlings performing their nightly

:34:32.:34:33.

We'll find out where you can see these amazing displays.

:34:34.:34:37.

And after nine, the changing faces of fashion.

:34:38.:34:39.

Christian Dior has ruled the catwalk for 70 years,

:34:40.:34:41.

we'll speak to film maker Michael Waldman about spending six

:34:42.:34:43.

Someone definitely still in the inner circle at Leicester City,

:34:44.:34:59.

Claudio Ranieri, they have given him the vote of confidence. Dear oh

:35:00.:35:04.

dear(!) they have offered their unwavering port to manage the

:35:05.:35:15.

Claudio Ranieri full -- unwavering support to manager Claudio Ranieri.

:35:16.:35:20.

The reigning Premier League champions are just one point

:35:21.:35:22.

in their last 15 league games, but they released a statement

:35:23.:35:29.

yesterday saying "the entire club is, and will remain,

:35:30.:35:31.

There is no crisis, obviously when you do not win, you lack a little

:35:32.:35:37.

confidence. But these players are fighters. Because they have already

:35:38.:35:42.

left this situation once. They remember the good things but also

:35:43.:35:43.

the bad things. Alastair Cook says he'll have "no

:35:44.:35:49.

issue" playing under another captain following his resignation

:35:50.:35:55.

as England Test skipper. Cook announced that he was

:35:56.:35:58.

stepping down on Monday Cook said England's 4 -

:35:59.:36:00.

nil Test series defeat in India was "maybe the final nail

:36:01.:36:05.

in the coffin". Joe Root is the frontrunner

:36:06.:36:07.

to replace Cook. Canada's Denis Shapovalov says

:36:08.:36:09.

he blacked out after hitting an umpire in the eye with a ball

:36:10.:36:11.

during a Davis Cup match He was playing Kyle Edmund

:36:12.:36:14.

when he struck the ball in anger and hit Arnaud Gabas,

:36:15.:36:18.

defaulting the match. I remember hitting the ball, I

:36:19.:36:32.

didn't know where it went, I see the official, bending down, holding his

:36:33.:36:37.

ire. I was in complete shock and regret right away. I kind of blacked

:36:38.:36:43.

out for the next ten minutes, ashamed of my actions for letting my

:36:44.:36:50.

team down, letting down my country. I think what he means is that he

:36:51.:36:56.

blocked out that ten minutes, he never really wanted to remember that

:36:57.:36:59.

again. I think that is what he is saying.

:37:00.:37:06.

Missed targets, slow delivery and failing to give value for money,

:37:07.:37:09.

that's the damning verdict of the spending watchdog

:37:10.:37:11.

the National Audit Office on a 5-billion-pound scheme

:37:12.:37:13.

to integrate health and social care in England.

:37:14.:37:15.

The aim was to bring together NHS services like GPs

:37:16.:37:20.

and emergency care, with local authority run facilities

:37:21.:37:25.

It was predicted that The Better Care Fund,

:37:26.:37:39.

as it was called, would save the NHS in England ?511 million

:37:40.:37:42.

But today's report by the National Audit Office shows

:37:43.:37:47.

that far from saving money, some aspects have actually

:37:48.:37:49.

The scheme was supposed to reduce emergency admissions

:37:50.:37:55.

In 2015 to 2016 they actually went up by 87,000.

:37:56.:38:09.

The report highlighted there'd been an increase in the number of older

:38:10.:38:13.

people still at home 91 days after being discharged

:38:14.:38:15.

The Department of Health says the Better Care Fund, is just one

:38:16.:38:20.

element of the government's plan to integrate health and social care

:38:21.:38:22.

and it's too early to make a conclusive assessment.

:38:23.:38:24.

Well to give us his reaction Niall Dickson is from the NHS

:38:25.:38:27.

Confederation which represents people and organisations who provide

:38:28.:38:29.

We are hearing about integration of services, practically, what does

:38:30.:38:37.

that mean? A lot of what we are seeing has been well illustrated by

:38:38.:38:41.

your reports on the BBC over the past few days which demonstrate a

:38:42.:38:45.

system that is under enormous pressure, unprecedented pressure,

:38:46.:38:51.

and is coping with fewer staff than it should have, and with a lack of

:38:52.:38:57.

resources. I think that is part of the background that you have to take

:38:58.:39:02.

into account. There is also a direct ignition across the NHS that simply

:39:03.:39:06.

putting more money in, which is necessary, is necessary but not

:39:07.:39:10.

sufficient and the system itself needs to be re-form, that will take

:39:11.:39:14.

time, and one has to have a degree of patience here, we're organising

:39:15.:39:17.

services, trying to get health, social care, GP services more

:39:18.:39:22.

aligned with each other, working more closely together, will take

:39:23.:39:26.

time, and there are further experiments which have been put in

:39:27.:39:29.

place following the better care fund, which one would hope over the

:39:30.:39:32.

next couple of years will start to see results. What one should not do

:39:33.:39:36.

is say that this is the solution to all NHS or social care problems.

:39:37.:39:41.

Social care in particular absolutely needs more money and needs the money

:39:42.:39:46.

urgently. Specifically on the better care fund, you think that it may

:39:47.:39:50.

well be more of a success a few years down the line but at the

:39:51.:39:55.

moment, like many things in the NHS, as we discussed regularly, it is

:39:56.:39:58.

struggling to work within the system? I think you are seeing

:39:59.:40:04.

examples where, for example, the number of admissions of older people

:40:05.:40:08.

into hospital has been reduced. You are seeing examples of hospitals

:40:09.:40:12.

managing to get older people out into care homes, work with care

:40:13.:40:16.

homes, it is to try to train the staff there to manage all the people

:40:17.:40:22.

without referring them to hospital. These initiatives take time, the big

:40:23.:40:27.

question for the NHS, once we are able to identify success, are we

:40:28.:40:31.

able to roll that out across the system? That will be a big task over

:40:32.:40:35.

the next few years. Politicians and the public, I hope, will recognise

:40:36.:40:41.

that this is being set against unprecedented demand. The system is

:40:42.:40:45.

struggling at the moment to cope, and some patience is required as

:40:46.:40:51.

well as extra resource. Some success in some areas, integration working

:40:52.:40:54.

in some places, we can talk about funding streams and issues that we

:40:55.:40:58.

always discussed with the NHS but can you give as an inside this

:40:59.:41:01.

morning, people watching at home, what will this mean to those that

:41:02.:41:06.

are watching? If you take an elderly woman who has four example two or

:41:07.:41:12.

three long-term conditions, she may have diabetes, she may have had a

:41:13.:41:15.

cancer diagnosis and she may be frail on her feet. This is not

:41:16.:41:20.

something that the NHS was traditionally to manage, it was

:41:21.:41:24.

about episodes of illness, and when people became ill, there was a

:41:25.:41:27.

treatment and that was dealt with. Now we are dealing with large

:41:28.:41:32.

numbers of people living with long-term conditions. How we manage

:41:33.:41:36.

that more effectively in the community? Life for her will be

:41:37.:41:38.

different, she may have a different kind of care worker who will be

:41:39.:41:42.

supporting and helping her to stay at home and manage. Hopefully she

:41:43.:41:46.

will have some interaction with voluntary organisations, whether it

:41:47.:41:51.

is Macmillan or Diabetes UK, who will be helping to support her, and

:41:52.:41:55.

keep her as healthy as possible within her own home, rather than

:41:56.:42:00.

having a system at the moment where the chances are three or four times

:42:01.:42:05.

perhaps in a year she will be referred into hospital, where they

:42:06.:42:08.

patch her up and send her back into a system and then there is not the

:42:09.:42:12.

care at home to look after her and then she is stuck in a hospital.

:42:13.:42:17.

None of that is good for the elderly patient and it is not good for the

:42:18.:42:21.

system. We have to find ways to make the system work more effectively,

:42:22.:42:25.

there is a recognition across health and social care in practices, GP

:42:26.:42:28.

practices, community services and hospitals that that is the challenge

:42:29.:42:34.

going forward. We appreciate your time, thank you for joining us.

:42:35.:42:42.

It's day three of the Comic Relief's Red Nose Convoy.

:42:43.:42:45.

This year, six celebrities are travelling across Kenya

:42:46.:42:46.

and into Uganda, delivering aid and visiting projects

:42:47.:42:48.

We'll catch up with comedian and star of Outnumbered Hugh Dennis

:42:49.:42:52.

First, let's get a taste how life on the road has

:42:53.:42:56.

We spoke with David Baddiel the other day, and look at how they

:42:57.:43:10.

would be arguing about driving the car.

:43:11.:43:21.

The acceleration does not do much up the hill.

:43:22.:43:24.

The instructions are in Korean, but apart from that,

:43:25.:43:26.

The car of potential death, as I have now come to think of it,

:43:27.:43:31.

has gone to the garage to be checked, and maybe

:43:32.:43:33.

as I think I will have enough power to overtake a truck

:43:34.:43:54.

so let's see what comes tomorrow.

:43:55.:43:58.

This is the challenge, getting along the road

:43:59.:44:00.

I did not realise it would be as much of a challenge as it is.

:44:01.:44:10.

Katy Brand, Russell Kane, David Baddiel, Reggie Yates,

:44:11.:44:12.

Michaela Coel and, of course, Hugh Dennis, who're all taking part

:44:13.:44:15.

And Hugh joins us now from Kericho in western Kenya.

:44:16.:44:24.

Good morning, how are you doing? Good morning, we are doing very

:44:25.:44:35.

well, we did have a few problems, all three cars have problems

:44:36.:44:40.

yesterday. Katy Brand's car, could not even overtake at all, something

:44:41.:44:44.

wrong with the accelerator. Reggie's car broke down. The car that David

:44:45.:44:50.

and I are driving, the immobiliser went, so you would be driving along,

:44:51.:44:55.

not very high speed, 40, 50, and the car would try to immobilise it self,

:44:56.:45:00.

hazard warnings kept on coming up! That is all being sorted out. Quite

:45:01.:45:03.

a long day, what a long drive yesterday. Long delay on the line,

:45:04.:45:09.

sounds like it is keeping you entertained, nevertheless!

:45:10.:45:21.

Today we are going to a place called Kisumu. We have musky tenets to

:45:22.:45:34.

deliver, 100 bicycles to deliver. Yesterday we thought we would just

:45:35.:45:37.

get the bicycles out and peddle them, we will need another 90 for

:45:38.:45:42.

people to help us! They are unlikely to break down! The first thing we

:45:43.:45:47.

delivered what this ultrasound thing to a health centre, I met a

:45:48.:45:56.

fantastic look called Patrick, who was a community health volunteer. He

:45:57.:46:03.

ran his own business but was completely devoted to his community,

:46:04.:46:07.

so he would go out into the community and give information and

:46:08.:46:12.

educate pregnant women as to what they needed to do, to keep them a

:46:13.:46:20.

beat and themselves healthy during pregnancy. He gives them information

:46:21.:46:25.

on nutrition and hygiene and all these things that were incredibly

:46:26.:46:29.

potent in this place, because they slum of a million people without

:46:30.:46:34.

sanitation. We brought a pregnant lady back into the health centre to

:46:35.:46:38.

have the first ever ultrasound. That is an amazing moment. It is great to

:46:39.:46:44.

be able to see where all of that money... Because the public are so

:46:45.:46:48.

generous, to see the difference the money makes. It is amazing, and the

:46:49.:46:55.

money really does make a difference, that is the point of this week, to

:46:56.:47:00.

show people in the UK who are donating every time Comic Relief is

:47:01.:47:03.

on, to show the difference is that their money is making. They are good

:47:04.:47:10.

news stories, but there is an awful lot left to do. This is really just

:47:11.:47:16.

a snapshot of what Comic Relief does and can do. If you can donate, do. I

:47:17.:47:22.

am not really a cross what effect it is having in the UK, I do not really

:47:23.:47:28.

do social media, I have only had one text, and that was from my dentist,

:47:29.:47:33.

saying, well done, enjoy the trip. But hopefully it is making a big

:47:34.:47:38.

difference in terms of donation. We are getting a lovely reaction here,

:47:39.:47:41.

we will mention how people can donate. David was quite clear, he

:47:42.:47:46.

said that Reggie feels he is the best driver, but now you have a few

:47:47.:47:51.

days, are you willing to put your hand up and say you are the safest

:47:52.:47:59.

man behind the wheel? Yesterday, I am driving with David, I have driven

:48:00.:48:04.

across Ethiopia with him before, but what happened to us yesterday, as

:48:05.:48:09.

well as mechanical failure, we got slightly lost, and he convinced me

:48:10.:48:14.

to take a left turn when I said that we had to go back to the previous

:48:15.:48:18.

junction. We were driving the wrong way up a dual carriageway, and were

:48:19.:48:24.

stopped by the police. We had to be very charming to the police, who

:48:25.:48:28.

asked for our licenses and what we are doing. He said, you are driving

:48:29.:48:34.

incredibly dangerously, and if you do that again, you will die. I did

:48:35.:48:39.

because quite that serious, but that was definitely David's fault. Take

:48:40.:48:46.

care on the rest of your trip. It is great to speak to you! Not what you

:48:47.:48:52.

want to be doing. He wondered how it is being received

:48:53.:48:54.

back here. If you'd like to show your support

:48:55.:48:57.

and make a donation to Comic Relief, you can donate ?5 by texting

:48:58.:49:00.

the word CONVOY to 70205, or to donate ?10,

:49:01.:49:11.

text CONVOY to 70210. Texts will cost your donation

:49:12.:49:13.

plus your standard network message charge, and 100% of your donation

:49:14.:49:15.

will go to Comic Relief. You must be 16 or over, and please

:49:16.:49:18.

ask the bill payer's permission. For full terms and conditions

:49:19.:49:21.

and more information, Later in the week we'll be

:49:22.:49:23.

speaking to Katy Brand. And Comic Relief is

:49:24.:49:29.

on Friday 24th March. I was trying to see which screen

:49:30.:49:46.

Carroll was going to be on. She is actually over their! I like to know

:49:47.:49:51.

where you are! A frosty scene behind you.

:49:52.:49:58.

One of our weather watchers sent this in. A bright start further

:49:59.:50:04.

south. What a cracker in Buckinghamshire. High pressure is

:50:05.:50:12.

keeping things fairly settled in the West, but this weather front, which

:50:13.:50:16.

has been moving east, will go west through the course of today. It will

:50:17.:50:21.

allow the cold continental and to seep across our shores. Not everyone

:50:22.:50:27.

sees it. It will be a cold day today than yesterday. The trend will

:50:28.:50:30.

continue through the rest of the week. Towards the West, patchy fog,

:50:31.:50:36.

Frost, still the risk of ice. A lot of sunshine. Move inland, more cloud

:50:37.:50:43.

and rain or showers. Snow in the Grampians, mostly at height, but

:50:44.:50:48.

later on the snow levels will fall. Across most of England, it will

:50:49.:50:54.

remain fairly cloudy. You might see the sunny break, but that will be

:50:55.:50:58.

the exception. There will be some showers, not all of us see those. On

:50:59.:51:02.

the east coast, some of them will be wintry. There was the south-west, a

:51:03.:51:07.

beautiful day, lots of sunshine, and not as cold. West Wales has a fair

:51:08.:51:18.

bit of sunshine. A beautiful start and a beautiful day generally across

:51:19.:51:21.

Northern Ireland, although temperatures are below freezing at

:51:22.:51:25.

the moment, they will pick up. This evening and overnight, with the

:51:26.:51:29.

clear skies the temperatures will tumble. A widespread frost, possibly

:51:30.:51:36.

the risk of ice. It is windy in the West, and a keen easterly across the

:51:37.:51:41.

East. That will continue to blow in some showers on the coastline. This

:51:42.:51:44.

is the forecast for the next few days. There will be rain and sleet

:51:45.:51:50.

on the coast, move into land and there will be sleet and snow, but

:51:51.:51:58.

not all of us will see it. Move out towards the West, not much change

:51:59.:52:03.

from today. Again, it will be fine, dry, cold and sunny, but the cold

:52:04.:52:07.

air permeates it further west tomorrow. We will hang on to the

:52:08.:52:17.

seven in the south-west. For Friday, more snow showers. Some of that

:52:18.:52:25.

falls across the Pennines, North East England, east of Aberdeenshire

:52:26.:52:28.

and the Grampians. With height we could have five centimetres, less at

:52:29.:52:31.

low levels. Typical winter weather. Go and have a cup of tea!

:52:32.:52:44.

That sounds like a fabulous idea! I would make it for you!

:52:45.:52:47.

Lots of you have been getting in touch with us this morning

:52:48.:52:50.

about the cost of overdrafts, which Ben was looking

:52:51.:52:52.

at earlier this morning, so he's back with some

:52:53.:52:55.

There has been a high-profile campaign against payday lenders, and

:52:56.:53:06.

how much they charge. Sky-high rates, and there was a clamp-down,

:53:07.:53:13.

so they have been capped. But the consumer group Which looked at how

:53:14.:53:17.

much it would cost to go into an authorised overdraft.

:53:18.:53:23.

The consumer group Which looked at how much it would cost to go

:53:24.:53:26.

over your overdraft by ?100 for 30 days and found it could cost

:53:27.:53:29.

between ?30 and ?180, depending on which current

:53:30.:53:31.

Payday loan firms by law can't charge more than ?24

:53:32.:53:34.

for the same type of loan, and Which says the same rule should

:53:35.:53:38.

We'll speak to them in just a minute, but first,

:53:39.:53:41.

do you feel you get enough warning to try to avoid the fees?

:53:42.:53:44.

Earlier I spoke to Pete Moorey from Which.

:53:45.:53:46.

You can be charged ?180 for going into your unarranged

:53:47.:53:49.

overdraft when it is capped at ?24 for payday loans.

:53:50.:53:51.

The financial regulator is doing a big review of high-cost credit

:53:52.:53:53.

and we need to get to the bottom of this issue.

:53:54.:53:56.

We think it is unfair that you are being charged such a high

:53:57.:53:59.

amount, and we want that to be tackled and these exorbitant fees

:54:00.:54:02.

The payday lenders were subject to the scrutiny, the regulators said,

:54:03.:54:12.

you have to put a cap on how much you charge, that with the banks and

:54:13.:54:17.

these overdrafts, that has got through, they have not tackled it

:54:18.:54:21.

yet, so there is a suggestion they may do that. People have been

:54:22.:54:26.

getting in touch. It is a real split, a lot of people say, don't

:54:27.:54:31.

use it if you don't like how much it costs. Janet says, I have not used

:54:32.:54:35.

my overdraft, the banks use them to make millions. David said he has

:54:36.:54:40.

only used it once but it works out cheaper than seeing these on things

:54:41.:54:47.

like direct debits. Joanna says, I do not have one, I have refused to

:54:48.:54:51.

have one on my account, I know what I am like. It comes down to the idea

:54:52.:54:56.

of transparency, how did you know when you will fall into the

:54:57.:55:00.

overdraft, how much will it cost? If the bank warns you in advance, maybe

:55:01.:55:05.

you can move money from elsewhere to drop it into the account. It is one

:55:06.:55:09.

of those things that will get people going. Other comments, yes, there

:55:10.:55:14.

should be a cap on the charges because in many cases the idea that

:55:15.:55:20.

you borrow ?100 but the cost of it could be ?180 in some cases, and

:55:21.:55:24.

that is astronomical. An anonymous one here, my dad has a lot of

:55:25.:55:30.

savings come money in some accounts, but he has Alzheimer's and he is not

:55:31.:55:34.

aware of the problem when he goes overdrawn, and he has been charged

:55:35.:55:40.

?228 in overdraft fees, so it is a bad banks telling people more. If

:55:41.:55:44.

you phone your bank, you can discuss the charges. This is at their

:55:45.:55:50.

discretion, they both say, we can see you have accidentally gone

:55:51.:55:53.

overdrawn, maybe it is a direct debit or a bill and you have gone a

:55:54.:56:00.

few pounds into your overdraft. Within a certain time period they

:56:01.:56:04.

will say, we will refund the charge, but this is more for people who are

:56:05.:56:07.

regularly using it and they find the cost is astronomical. The comparison

:56:08.:56:12.

with payday lenders is particularly relevant.

:56:13.:56:15.

It has to be one of the most stunning free shows on earth,

:56:16.:56:18.

and it's currently playing in Cumbria.

:56:19.:56:23.

Tens of thousands of starlings are performing a nightly

:56:24.:56:25.

Their synchronised flying creates an amazing aerial ballet.

:56:26.:56:28.

The Friends of the Lake District have organised a number of viewing

:56:29.:56:31.

events before the season ends later this month.

:56:32.:56:33.

Dave Guest has been finding out where you can catch a glimpse

:56:34.:56:36.

of these amazing birds before the season ends later this month.

:56:37.:56:46.

It's an aerial ballet with a cast of thousands.

:56:47.:56:50.

A mass of starlings flying in mesmerising harmony.

:56:51.:56:54.

The dictionary tells us this is called a murmuration.

:56:55.:56:57.

It also tells us the word has been in use for hundreds of years,

:56:58.:57:00.

Nobody really knows why it is called this.

:57:01.:57:05.

It's an interesting word because they do not really murmur.

:57:06.:57:08.

But why do they form these patterns and move together in harmony?

:57:09.:57:15.

There is some suggestion that they come together at dusk

:57:16.:57:19.

in a big group because it protects them from predators.

:57:20.:57:24.

Why they do this amazing aerial ballet before they settle down

:57:25.:57:27.

Why wouldn't anyone want to spend a night here?

:57:28.:57:40.

And so an audience gathered in Cumbria for one of the greatest

:57:41.:57:42.

This is one of several murmuration viewings posted by Friends

:57:43.:57:46.

I'm a reporter for my school magazine.

:57:47.:57:53.

I'm going to write it up on the computer.

:57:54.:58:00.

Are you going to take some pictures as well?

:58:01.:58:03.

Hopefully my mum has remembered her phone.

:58:04.:58:07.

I have to capture it on my camera over there,

:58:08.:58:10.

and if I miss anything, can I borrow your shots?

:58:11.:58:12.

As dusk gathers, so too do the stars of the show.

:58:13.:58:18.

The sky turns black and it's just amazing.

:58:19.:58:43.

I've seen them before in other places but nothing

:58:44.:58:46.

Someone estimated there were 60,000 or so starlings out there.

:58:47.:58:54.

Then, as darkness falls, so too do the starlings.

:58:55.:59:02.

It is curtain down on another perfect performance.

:59:03.:59:16.

STUDIO: I feel very relaxed after all of that.

:59:17.:59:23.

Joining us now to tell us more about this spectacle is Tom Clare

:59:24.:59:26.

from the Wild Fowl and Wetland Trust.

:59:27.:59:33.

So mesmerising to watch, you can find this all over the UK. Yes, you

:59:34.:59:40.

find them all over the country, like Aberystwyth peer, sometimes city

:59:41.:59:44.

centres, most of the time, they are out in oral locations, doing that

:59:45.:59:52.

fantastic display. Is it always at dusk time? Just before they are

:59:53.:59:56.

coming into roost, sometimes half an hour, sometimes an hour, and they

:59:57.:00:00.

are congregating before they go in for the evening roosts. --

:00:01.:00:13.

Aberystwyth Pier. Why do they behave like this, there is a few theories?

:00:14.:00:19.

During the day, they are out looking for food, in the evening, all coming

:00:20.:00:24.

in to join together before they go into route, what we think is

:00:25.:00:27.

happening they are forming these you to commemorates and avoiding

:00:28.:00:30.

predators, is having so many birds in one place, it stuns the birds,

:00:31.:00:36.

the birds of prey going for them, and when they go into roost, so

:00:37.:00:42.

close together, staying nice and warm staying together and keeping

:00:43.:00:51.

warm during winter. -- murmurations. This is the best time of year to

:00:52.:00:54.

come and see them come you get the big numbers coming into this time of

:00:55.:00:55.

year. Beautiful to see so many birds together but Stalin

:00:56.:01:09.

numbers have been falling dramatically over the last few

:01:10.:01:13.

years? Since about 1970 they have dropped by 60%, so they have really

:01:14.:01:17.

dropped down in numbers, although we get these huge murmurations hundreds

:01:18.:01:24.

of thousands, close to a million, the numbers are on the decrease and

:01:25.:01:30.

they have been for some time. We were speaking with you earlier, we

:01:31.:01:33.

were asking you about how they know whether to go left, right, loads of

:01:34.:01:36.

people have been coming up with their own particular theories, you

:01:37.:01:40.

say it is something that still baffles those who look into it, why

:01:41.:01:45.

they are so synchronised and beautiful, and every single bird

:01:46.:01:49.

seems to know which way to go at a given time? Still one of those

:01:50.:01:53.

wonders of the natural world, still trying to figure out what is

:01:54.:01:58.

happening, and why they are doing it and how they can move so quickly

:01:59.:02:02.

with each other. It is like a wave, one bird moves, it is a ripple

:02:03.:02:12.

effect, the entire murmuration. Is there anything we can do to help

:02:13.:02:17.

them and arrest the decline? It is a problem nationwide, we are not 100%

:02:18.:02:21.

sure why they are decreasing, throughout the breeding season, they

:02:22.:02:25.

are feeding invertebrates on the ground. Perhaps the food resources

:02:26.:02:29.

for that is decreasing, feeding birds in the garden, anything you

:02:30.:02:34.

can do to encourage the starlings into your garden, helping them at

:02:35.:02:39.

home. More hedgerows, where they can breed nice and safely, always a good

:02:40.:02:44.

way to work with the birds. I have a very friendly robin. If we put bread

:02:45.:02:52.

out, he comes to get the bread. It is always fantastic getting that

:02:53.:02:54.

close to nature, especially in your garden. You are like Dr Doolittle!

:02:55.:02:58.

It has been wonderful. And we would love to see some

:02:59.:03:03.

of your pictures of the wonders Here's a couple that some

:03:04.:03:06.

of you have already sent in to us. This one sent in by Anita

:03:07.:03:10.

shows Canadian geese Robert sent in a picture

:03:11.:03:12.

of a Galloway cow and calf Steve sent in this one of a little

:03:13.:03:16.

egret at a local nature reserve. And this starling murmuration

:03:17.:03:20.

above Brighton Pier You can email us your pictures

:03:21.:03:22.

at [email protected] What was that green line on that

:03:23.:03:36.

one? I think we may have added that one! Sorry for ruining the picture,

:03:37.:03:43.

for some reason we have put a big green line through it.

:03:44.:03:49.

We'll be getting a look behind the scenes at

:03:50.:03:55.

Christian Dior when filmmaker Michael Waldman joins us.

:03:56.:03:56.

But first, a last, brief look at the headlines

:03:57.:03:59.

where you are this morning. feeling increasingly cold. That is

:04:00.:05:41.

it from me for now, thanks for watching, have a lovely morning.

:05:42.:06:05.

STUDIO: Christian Dior died just ten years after debuting his "new look"

:06:06.:06:08.

haute couture in 1947, but today it remains

:06:09.:06:10.

one of the world's most well-known fashion labels.

:06:11.:06:12.

To celebrate its 70th birthday, film maker,

:06:13.:06:14.

Michael Waldman, spent six months behind-the-scenes of

:06:15.:06:16.

the billion-dollar brand, interviewing everyone

:06:17.:06:17.

from the seamstresses to parfumiers and the company's first ever

:06:18.:06:19.

We'll speak to Michael in a minute but first let's take a look.

:06:20.:06:23.

VOICEOVER: Braid list Ruth has been chosen to lead the entire parade. --

:06:24.:06:39.

braidless. I don't want to mess it up, it is brave in its

:06:40.:06:50.

nonconformity. Inside those? A secret, my secret!

:06:51.:07:16.

The drama! Michael Waldman Joining us now. So well-known, and he died

:07:17.:07:26.

only ten years after he created this brand, white and extraordinarily is

:07:27.:07:30.

even. Absolutely, spending six months behind-the-scenes of this now

:07:31.:07:34.

billion-dollar company was a fascinating

:07:35.:07:36.

experience, they very cleverly exploited the legacy of Christian

:07:37.:07:42.

Dior, the man whose name is above the title, they know it is a very

:07:43.:07:48.

telling brand, but by definition it is fashion, they must renew but keep

:07:49.:07:53.

a foot in the past, it is a nice balancing act. They also exploit the

:07:54.:07:57.

name, as Christian Dior did himself, very savvy businessmen, to make

:07:58.:08:01.

Perkins and cosmetics and is the series, it is a big business. You

:08:02.:08:06.

made a film about Christian Louboutin, a few years ago, you know

:08:07.:08:10.

the industry, so it was an eye-opener into how brutal it can be

:08:11.:08:17.

on occasion, is it cut-throat? I'm not a fashionista, it is not my

:08:18.:08:22.

field, but it has been fascinating, dipping toes into it, two different

:08:23.:08:28.

French companies, it is all that you imagine and more, in terms of the

:08:29.:08:33.

theatricality of it, what there is is costumed, by definition, and be,

:08:34.:08:37.

there is a show that has to be delivered by a certain time, so the

:08:38.:08:42.

frenzied behind-the-scenes, and the decision-making, and he makes the

:08:43.:08:46.

decisions and how, that is dramatic. And they wanted to keep it... You

:08:47.:08:50.

must need lots of negotiations, there's a lot of it is secret, what

:08:51.:08:55.

is going on, how they make things. Of course, getting into a place like

:08:56.:09:00.

this takes a lot of doing, and when you are there, you have to keep

:09:01.:09:05.

pushing and be opportunistic. That is the nature of making documentary

:09:06.:09:08.

films of an observational sort. A funny moment, I mentioned, the

:09:09.:09:13.

Perkins and the cosmetics, there is a guy who is called the nose, very

:09:14.:09:20.

important job, and on his nation nasal sensitivity depends the

:09:21.:09:27.

profits of the Perkins. -- we saw Jasmine and rose petals. He was very

:09:28.:09:38.

conscious of not revealing the secrets. Profits of the perfume. --

:09:39.:09:54.

back it is like the secret herbs and spices. You met the man with the

:09:55.:10:04.

nose for the Percy and, this is in a dressmaking shop in Paris. -- with

:10:05.:10:15.

the nose for the perfume. Everybody is different. Some with small

:10:16.:10:25.

waists, with big wastes, everyone is different. The woman of the world.

:10:26.:10:31.

If you look at the woman, they are all different. -- big waists. They

:10:32.:10:41.

are rich. Yes, it is silly to say anything else. It is not accessible

:10:42.:10:46.

to everyone. It is something special. It is a dream. And it has

:10:47.:10:58.

two stay a dream. She is very honest about most people not being able to

:10:59.:11:02.

afford any of the items except for the make up. And the make up is not

:11:03.:11:06.

cheap either, but it was fascinating watching them in the very workshops,

:11:07.:11:14.

the people who make the clothes, all specifically made for each client,

:11:15.:11:17.

she is the woman who is in charge of the department and she has two

:11:18.:11:21.

liaise with the department, those are models of actual women. It is

:11:22.:11:26.

made for each individual. Normally you do not see that, we would not

:11:27.:11:31.

reveal the names. It is shaped there. If she comes in and says, I

:11:32.:11:35.

would like that one from this year 's collection, but in blue but not

:11:36.:11:40.

black, they come in and they make it on the cast. -- has to. And it comes

:11:41.:11:46.

in at a ridiculous price. Yes, don't even go there! You follow the new

:11:47.:11:51.

creative director, this post has been held by John Galliano, Eve St

:11:52.:11:55.

Laurent, and so this is a real pressure job. The rival for the

:11:56.:12:05.

first. An Italian woman, wonderful and funny, and the pressure on her

:12:06.:12:11.

is enormous. She's a creative director of vast billion-dollar

:12:12.:12:15.

brand, she has to create several collections a year. -- Yves Saint

:12:16.:12:20.

Laurent. The legacy that she is basing it on, she has to have a

:12:21.:12:24.

sense of Christian Dior in the past, plus the previous great designers,

:12:25.:12:28.

what happens is that we see her in the lead up to the first collection

:12:29.:12:33.

and she is remarkably relaxed, jocular, funny, filming things are

:12:34.:12:37.

normally we would not be allowed to, and she went with it. Impressive

:12:38.:12:45.

woman, regardless of what you think about the clothes, they may not be

:12:46.:12:48.

to your taste, but regardless, somebody tends to buy them. Female

:12:49.:12:53.

form and eating disorders within the fashion industry and models, they

:12:54.:12:58.

talk to you about that. Briefly, one could make a whole programme about

:12:59.:13:02.

that, of course we touched on it, Maria was very interesting, she has

:13:03.:13:06.

a daughter, who came over to Paris to support her mother for the first

:13:07.:13:09.

collection, wonderful and good-looking woman, not model shape,

:13:10.:13:17.

in some cases, women and girls really are that shape and there is

:13:18.:13:21.

not a problem, sometimes there is. It is something that is a big issue

:13:22.:13:26.

in the fashion industry. Very good to speak with you, thank you for

:13:27.:13:27.

joining us. Inside Dior Today, we're settling an age-old

:13:28.:13:38.

argument as well as revealing why the latest celebrity-backed food fad

:13:39.:13:41.

isn't all it's cracked up to be.
