Hello, this is Breakfast, with Rachel Burden and Christian

An instant pay rise for prison officers in some of England's

Officers will get up to ?5,000 extra to try and ease the dangerously low

staffing levels, but only in London and the south-east.

Also ahead: Donald Trump defends his first month in office,

claiming there is a new spirit of optimism sweeping the US.

You see what we've accomplished in a very short period of time. The White

House is running so smoothly. The row over business

rates rumbles on. Now, the boss of Sainsbury's

demands fundamental reform. Sinkholes, mudslides

and deadly winds - the powerful storms hitting

California are now sweeping north. In sport: A non-League team

will play in the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first

time in over a century. Lincoln City, from the fifth tier

of English football, shocked Premier League side Burnley,

to go through to the last eight The FA Cup quarter-final draw

takes place tonight. After 7:00am, we will ask

the managing director of Lincoln City what it was like

for him watching that historic win. Good morning. As well as a giant

snowdrop, we've got some springlike temperatures in the next few days.

But it comes with a lot of cloud. The best of the sunshine in the

east. More details a little later. First, our main story: Thousands

of prison officers in London and south-east England

are to get a pay increase Ministers have made the offer

to try to boost recruitment and retain workers in jails,

which are under severe pressure But the Prison Officers Association

says it is a divisive quick fix, and specialist and more experienced

staff won't benefit. Our home affairs correspondent

Tom Symonds reports. They are on the frontline of the

troubled Prison Service. Their numbers have been falling in recent

years. Now, the government is putting in place a ?12 million pay

offer to keep them in their jobs and attract new people. But only

officers in 31 presence in London and the south-east, including this

one in Wandsworth, will benefit. They are the jails under most

pressure, struggling to maintain staff. The offer is for standard

grade three prison officers, not more senior supervisors or

specialist. Each will receive at least ?3000. The pay package for new

recruits will be boosted by ?5,000, to attract them into the job. But

the prison officers Association believes this offer won't satisfy

its members. They are going to welcome additional money for our

members, of course we are. But we don't think this goes far enough to

solving the present crisis. We believe it needs to be national

issue. We won't properly consulted on this either, so we believe if the

Secretary of State wants to make these arbitrary decisions on pay,

they should consult us fully and we can point out the inconsistencies

and problems that will arise as a result of this policy. The

government is also increasing training, vital if it is to deal

with the growing threats to order behind bars. Mental health issues,

along with what ministers describe as drugs and drones.

Some breaking news in the past hour: The Iraqi Prime Minister says

an operation has begun to retake the western part of the city

of Mosul from Islamic State militants.

It is the last major IS stronghold in Iraq.

Government forces started their offensive in October,

and last month secured the eastern part of the city after weeks

The United Nations has urged all parties in the conflict to do

everything they can to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands

Our correspondent Quentin Somerville is with the Iraqi troops

who are preparing to do battle in the narrow streets of western

In the distance, American aircraft have been launching air strikes

against the outskirts of western Mosul. Large rooms have been

sounding all morning and around me, the tanks and armoured vehicles of

the armed response division. Special Forces are getting ready to move

over the area in front of me and began the assault on western Mosul,

the last remaining city here in Iraq that is still in the hands of the

so-called Islamic State. These men are not expecting an easy day of it,

as this battle begins, because they know from drone footage that the

Islamic State are deeply embedded. They have dug tunnels into the

surrounding villages that lie just before western Mosul's outskirts,

and before the city's airport. They are also expecting to face suicide

car bombs. But as you can perhaps here behind me, the men are in an

ebullient mood is this battle gets under way.

That was Quentin Sommerville, who is embedded with the Iraqi

troops who are preparing to do battle in western Mosul.

President Trump has made a robust defence of his first four weeks

in office, and insisted that a new spirit of optimism

Speaking to supporters at an airport hangar in Florida,

he repeated his campaign pledges to create jobs and improve

First Lady Melania Trump opened the rally with the Lord's Prayer,

and promised that she would always tell the truth

I will always stay true to myself, and be truthful to you, no matter

what the opposition is saying about me. Let us pray. Our father, who art

in heaven... Mr Trump again turned his fire

on the media, accusing it of being dishonest

about his administration. The dishonest media, which has

published one false story after another, with no sources, even

though they pretend they have them, they make them up, in many cases.

The boss of Sainsbury's has joined the growing row over

the re-evaluation of business rates, the commercial version

The supermarket's chief executive, Mike Coupe, says changes

being introduced to reflect the value of property could leave

high streets facing serious challenges and closures,

while internet operations could see their bills cut.

Big changes ahead for businesses. For the first time in seven years,

rates are being updated in April in line with property values, with

prices rising strongly in the south-east but falling sharply in

less prosperous regions, there will be some dramatic differences. Some

businesses seen increases of 400%. Sainsbury's will see its bill rise

to around ?500 million, up from ?483 million, while analysts predict

internet giant Amazon will have its business rate bill cut at the

majority of its out-of-town warehouses. The boss of Sainsbury's,

Mike Coupe, isn't happy. Mike Coupe says businesses like he's won, with

lots of property and employees, faced a bigger burden than online

only retailers. He is calling for a fundamental reform of the system,

which he describes as archaic. What is needed, he says, is a level

playing field to reflect the changing retail landscape. Business

rates affect 1.8 5 million properties in England alone. They

are set to raise ?23.5 billion for the Treasury this year. The

government says 920,000 businesses will see their bills go down.

420,000 will stay the same. To make the sums add up, more than 500,000

will see bills go up. Rates in Scotland and Wales are being

reassessed. Northern Ireland won't get an overhaul for another few

years. In England, the government says the changes will be phased in,

and more will benefit than lose out. The biggest storm to hit California

for several years has left at least four people dead and around 150,000

homes without power. Giant sinkholes

appeared in some roads. A fire crew managed to get out

of this engine before it was swallowed on the main

motorway from Los Angeles to Las This was another sinkhole

in Studio City, where a woman was rescued from the roof

of her car, moments before a second The former boxer Michael Watson has

been injured during an attempt Mr Watson, who is 51

and partially disabled, had a substance sprayed in his face,

and was dragged along the road. He and a friend are

recovering at home. The police have appealed

for information. The RSPCA has begun an investigation

after as many as 1,800 day-old chicks were found dumped in a field

in south Lincolnshire. The charity was alerted

after members of the public spotted People in the area helped

round the birds up into boxes, and a breeder collected

the survivors. It is not yet known

who abandoned the chicks. We will take a look through the

front pages of the papers. Various stories dominating, though I have to

say, let's get it out of the way first of all, Lincoln City's

glorious win in the FA Cup making the front page, the first nonleague

side to make it through to the top eight in over 100 years. He is a

Burnley supporter. Only were defeated at the lastgasp, at 1-0.

Their lead story talks about an alleged Trojan horse what in Oldham,

a head teacher concerned about plans to take over her school. Many

congratulations to Lincoln. A brilliant effort. On the Observer,

chaos looming for EU citizens who hope to stay in Britain. The problem

is we don't know who is here and we don't really have a system to say

who should go back from whence they have come. The paper does actually

say that it is widely assumed that at an early stage of the Article 50

negotiations, that is the formal process to withdraw, of course, that

they will agree a cut-off date after which foreigners will not have an

automatic right to remain here. The front page of the Sunday express,

the headline says my mummy is drunk, please read to me. Children calling

a helpline to be read bedtime stories because their alcoholic

parents are too drunk to take them up in bed. This is according to the

National Association for children of alcoholics who received 32,000 calls

and e-mails from children last year. You will remember a big security

conference in Munich yesterday, and the eastern Europeans were talking

about the threat from Russia. The Sunday Telegraph has the

extraordinary story that there was a Kremlin plot to overthrow the

government of Montenegro last year. The plot was foiled only hours

before it was due to be carried out. We are going to later in the

programme be talking about a really interesting subject, and that is

what is appropriate physical contact between a school teacher and a

pupil, after a neurologist has come out and said actually depriving

children of physical contact is a form of child abuse. Lots of

teachers groups of course saying that they can get into all sorts of

problems. Anything like a tap on the shoulder can be misconstrued these

days and honestly there is a big difference between primary school

and secondary schools. We will be talking about it with a neurologist

who said this a bit later on and also to a teacher representative,

but we would like to hear your thoughts on it. You can e-mail us.

Particularly if you're a teacher or a parent, what do you think about

it? You can tweet us as well, using the hashtag BBC Breakfast.

Interesting to see what teachers make of it, because there is a lot

of risk when you start touching pupils.

The main stories this morning: Thousands of prison officers

at jails in London and south-east England are to receive a pay rise

of between ?3,000 and ?5,000, in a new drive to boost staffing

Donald Trump has defended the achievements of his presidency

so far, and reiterated many of his campaign pledges

Also coming up in the programme: Tripping the light fantastic.

The Click team are looking at how projectors are offering us a new way

of seeing and interacting with the world around us.

And Darren is here with a look at this morning's weather. I did not

put my heating on at all. I didn't quite get out for a Sunday but it

was fairly mild yesterday. I don't think you will be sunbathing very

much over the weekend. It will not be as mild as it is at the moment,

it feels like spring is just around the corner. But sunshine will be

limited again today. We have a lot of cloud which is spilling our way,

tending to come in from the Atlantic. And that cloud will be

lowering and thickening as the day goes on across the western side of

the UK in particular. Further east the cloud is somewhat thicker and it

is a misty start in the south-east of England, chilly in one or two

faces as well. It should warm up quite nicely. A fair bit of cloud as

we had through the morning, a little bit of rain and drizzle beginning to

come in western parts of Wales, and you can see breaks in the cloud and

sunshine developing in the fans, and in the Lincolnshire, the eastern

side of the Pennines as well. Across Northern Ireland and in the western

Scotland that brings a little bit of drizzle -- the Fens. As you can

imagine, with westerly winds, the best of the sunshine will be across

more sheltered eastern parts of Scotland and eastern England for a

time, and maybe into the Welsh Marches as well. Around the coast it

will be grey and misty and there will be more drizzle arriving from

mid-morning onwards. Temperature is reasonable for the time of year, a

mild day with 11 or 12 being fairly typical. Cloud for most of us during

the day, wet weather arriving in the north-west of Scotland will push its

way down across many parts of the country, the rain becoming lighter

as it heads towards the south-east of the UK. Some wet and windy

weather arriving in the north-east of Scotland later. Look at these

temperatures, this is what we expect during the daytime. Nine or ten

overnight is extremely mild and all this mild air is coming from a long

way south, from the tropics, and it is heading our way but probably only

briefly between these two dense of rain here. This could be heavy in

Scotland and Northern Ireland, living down in the northern England

and eventually into northern Wales. Sunshine behind it. Gusty winds for

eastern Scotland, eastern parts of England, gusts of 50 miles an hour

at a very mild day, especially across the southern half of the UK,

where we may find temperatures to the mid- teens. As the week goes on

it is properly going to turn less mild. It will feel a bit colder,

especially as the wind strengthens, and by the end of the week it could

be very windy across many parts of the UK.

Poetry's normally associated with the written word,

but a new project is giving walkers the chance to hear six new verses

as they make their way around Northumberland's National Park.

Poems in the Air was the brainchild of poet Simon

People can access his work at certain locations via an app

Alison Freeman went to see if she could track them down.

Wind out of the south-west scalped the ridge, careened up the spine of

the hill, and over the ramparts between cairns. Even on good days,

the boulders appear with toothache. Words to reward the hardiest of

walkers on the bleakest of days. Northumberland National Park has

worked with acclaimed British poet Simon Armitage to create ?6 which

can only be heard via an app using GPS at the places which inspired

them. And on a day like this, when the visibility is not so good, they

can help to bring the landscape to life. Starting to show that we are

getting really near the point where the Pinwill unlock. We are at this

one. We are doing the Proposal Stone. Why is it you can't hear them

until you get near the place? Well, that was the poet, Simon Armitage,

he really liked the idea of phones that do not really exist, they are

not written down everywhere. Simon was inspired, and looking around

you, listening to the words and going, yeah, I get it, I can see

what he is writing about here. So it is kind of like your personal

performance, I guess? Exactly, it is like it is right next to you. This

plan is about the Proposal Stone at a point in the park called Simon

side, discovered by a range of five years ago, it bears a neatly

inscribed marriage proposal. Starnes next to me now on this altar stone,

it is threshold just one stop from the rest of our lives. You have got

360 degrees views. It is a special place. And we have other stones on

Simon side that are carved, names and dates etc, but this was just

that bit different. You know, somebody had gone to the bother of

edging it into the stone, what I thought was quite something. Who

carved the stone remains a mystery, and the park is keen to know if they

ever made it down the aisle. Now all of England has gone down on one

knee, listening, hoping you will say yes. The hike to each home is fairly

long, and walkers are recommended to seek them out on different days.

That was quite soothing. Yeah, it was lovely. We will be back with a

summary of today's news at 6:30am. Now it's time for The Film Review

with Mark Kermode and Jane Hill. Hello, and welcome to

The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this

week's cinema releases, We have Hidden Figures,

a different look at the space race. We have The Great Wall

in which Matt Damon goes head And Moonlight, for my money,

one of the best films I've The Hidden Figures are both

the hidden mathematical equations needed to get a man into space

and also the hidden people used It's tag lined meet the women

you don't know behind It's based on the story

of African-American women working in Nasa in the early 1960s

on the mathematical formula The three main characters

are all struggling to be recognised for their talent, both

at work and at home. Pastor mentioned you're

a computer at Nasa. They let women handle

that sort of...? I'm just surprised that

something so taxing... Mr Johnson, if I were you I'd

quit talking right now. I will have you know I was the first

negro female student On any given day I analysed levels

for aerial displacement, And compute over 10,000

calculations by hand. So, yes, they let women do

some things at Nasa, And it's not because we wear skirts,

it's because we wear glasses. I mean, it's a really likeable film

and tells a story I had't heard before, a celebration of people

breaking down barriers A terrific performance

from Kevin Costner as the head of the space task force who just

wants to do the job done What I like about it is it's a broad

strokes film and the complexity is left for the equations,

but it knows how to engage the audience and get them involved

with the characters and how to tell Also, how to make the solving of

these equations actually exciting. It is quite difficult to make

someone solving equations on a blackboard look exciting,

and they do it well. The performances are very likeable

and it's one of those films that manages to take a true

story and tells it in It has you rooting for

the main characters. It is eye opening and a story

I did not know before. You might have heard it before,

but I confess I didn't. It does it really well

and in a way that I think's You will come out of it with a skip

in your step feeling uplifted. Because it's not just lecturing

about the sexism and racism? It's telling it in a way that

engages you with the characters. It is very, very broad strokes,

but done so in a way where it knows when to use sentimentality

or melodrama and clear, dramatic invention and

does it rather well. It's really very entertaining

which is what you need a mainstream LAUGHTER Oh dear,

you're already laughing! The most expensive film ever

made purely in China, The tag line, 1700 years

to build 500 miles long. So this is a spectacularly silly

but spectacular film. Matt Damon is a mercenary in search

of magical black power but he discovers the wall was built

to keep out out mythical creatures. He encountered one early

on and he cut its hand off. Everyone's very impressed

that he defeated one So they think, let's get him

involved in our fight. But will he join forces or end up

trying to steal the magical powder? The thing with Zhang Yimou

is he does know how to stage exciting set pieces

and action sequences. However, my own opinion is that

Duncan Jones in Warcraft was doing Plus, when we get to the final

battle, it is essentially a rerun of a battle in Lord of the Rings,

but with Matt Damon doing It's colourful, there are well

choreographed sequences. But it is a piece of utter

tomfoolery and it is rather long. Yes, you would have got away with it

if it was slightly shorter. It probably isn't as long as it

felt, it just felt like a long film. However, almost not long

enough is Moonlight. Yes, it's just an astonishing work

from director Barry Jenkins. A coming of age story about a young

man growing up in a neighbourhood in Miami, wrestling with poverty,

identity, drugs, sexuality. Sounds like a recipe

for a downbeat neorealist film, Three actors play the central

character and the chapters are identified by the names

that he assumes or is given. In the first section,

having been basically abandoned by his mother, who's a drug addict,

he is befriended by a local dealer who you will recognise

from the previous clip. Why you didn't come home

like you were supposed to? Wouldn't tell me where

he lived till this morning. You know he is a drug dealer

but is also a very paternal figure and becomes a role

model to some extent. The film tells this story in a way

which is poetic and beautiful, and understands that there

is hardship in this life A film in which the sound

of the ocean is the backdrop There is the key sequence

in which the young kid The film has such command

of the cinematic medium both in the way it uses

imagery and music. The music is superb,

from classical to original compositions to pop tunes,

all blended together to take you inside the psychology

of the characters. Most importantly, it's a film

which is really sympathetic to its central characters,

which gives voice to characters which in other movies would be

sidelined or stereotyped. I've seen it a couple of times now

and the first time I saw it The second time I spent a lot of it

in tears because I found it so moving, so profoundly

poetic and sympathetic. It is heartfelt, it has

elements of tragedy in it, but also this really tactile

sensuous feel to it. It's a remarkable second

feature from Barry Jenkins. Obviously it is a major awards

contender and for my money the best I was of course referring to last

year, as it came out I think it's a very important film,

but also a wonderful piece Everything, how it looks,

sounds, how it's written. The fact you can feel

the honesty and integrity. Please tell me you loved

it as much as I did. I loved it and we know

you loved it too. Best out at the moment is the film

that I think I said last week, even watching the trailer,

"Oh, my goodness". I almost lost the will

to live watching it. Moonlight is the best thing out,

but also the best thing out is Toni A black comedy about father

daughter estrangement. I know you said you

hated the trailer. I don't know why they're

going to remake it in English. And for anyone who

wants to watch a DVD? So there's this documentary

by Kirsten Johnson called Camera She was the cinematographer

on a number of films, She has taken outtake footage

and put it together to make an odyssey of her career

in which the stories around the side of the stories become

the central story. It is a wonderful film

about the responsibility of documentary making

and how you can find beauty Called Camera Person -

I think you will like it very much. As ever, good to see you,

and see you next week. You can find more film

reviews and news online. And you can catch up

with all of our previous programmes Hello, this is Breakfast,

latest announcements for those staff who have been imposed for years.

There's nothing in those other grades, as well, that are

struggling. There is a real recruitment problem in those areas

as well so just focusing on one particular group is making it very

divisive, and will cause animosity among some other stuff.

Cup. And we have our resident Burnley fan on the sofa. As a

neutral, what a great day of FA Cup action. I don't think we were

expected to be Chelsea, but Burnley should have been looking to beat

these guys. Lincoln City are into the quarterfinals.

The first time in over a century that a non-League side has made it

Lincoln City are the National League leaders, and they beat

the Premier League's Burnley 1-0, with a dramatic 89th-minute winner

In a competition famous for its shocks, this result was one of the

greatest in history. Nonleague Lincoln City matching and beating

Burnley side who drew with Premier League leaders Chelsea last weekend.

Sean Raggett, thought it was in! It is in! Lincoln City take the lead

with a minute to go. I am lost for words right now. That was just mad.

I can't believe it. This is a special group of boys, and unreal,

unreal. I didn't really know what to do with the celebration but a

nonleague side into the quarterfinals, it is crazy. Crazy,

maybe, but true nonetheless. 81 league places separated these guys,

but Lincoln followed up wins over Ipswich and Brighton in the previous

rounds with a strong start at Turf Moor and while the Premier league

team had their own openings, it would become an increasingly

frustrating and edgy afternoon's work for them. Just ask Joey Barton.

Harassed or match, he was lucky not to be sent off but it didn't matter

for Lincoln. They pushed the end and with headlines are waiting to be

written, Sean Raggett and company duly obliged. Not even five minutes

of injury time could stop this fairytale from happening. Lincoln

have made history. This is one of the great shocks of the competition.

For a nonleague team to be in the last eight of the FA Cup and coming

away from Wembley and two games away from the final is unbelievable.

People said to me, maybe a football miracle. I don't know. It is

certainly a miracle when you consider no nonleague side had made

it into the FA Cup quarterfinals for 103 years before yesterday. This

quite some Raggett to riches story. That was by no means the only FA

Cup shock of the day. League One side Millwall beat

the Premier League champions Leicester City 1-0,

to secure their place And that was despite Millwall

being reduced to ten men for much Shaun Cummings grabbed

the 90th-minute winner to put the League One side

into the next round, Making it to the quarterfinal, you

have to start thinking, well, who knows? You never get the CorelDRAW,

for home would be a preference. There are many good things left in

it. We have done really well. So this is a welcome distraction, it is

a fantastic competition. It builds momentum against us, keeps winning

run going, and we look forward to the next round.

It is massive. It is a bit different than the others, when you work all

year to get this. This is more of a reward from last season, to get to

the final and win last year. But it still means a massive amount of the

players, and the club. The history of Wigan, there has been a few wins

in this competition. So if we can emulate that it is a mass of

acknowledgement. -- massive accomplishment.

Mo Farah won the final race of his indoor career,

I can't quite believe it is my last race. I have had a great career,

great indoors. Something must come to an end. It is weird thinking

about it, thinking about saying goodbye, because I have had great

support from everyone. Particular this track, breaking so many

records, and it has been amazing over the years. -- particularly this

track. Laura Muir broke the British

near Los Angeles were evacuated from their homes, and sink holes

have appeared in roads swallowing cars

Here's how the story is being covered in America.

San Bernardino firefighters escaping from the truck just in time to watch

this. Their fire engine plummeting when the freeway it is parked on

crumbles. The roadway eroded by intense flooding from one of the

most powerful storms to hit southern California in years. The

firefighters were here to check on the driver of this semi- that

plunged off the same interstate. You can see just how far both vehicles

fell but incredibly the firefighters and the driver of the semi are both

OK. Another close call in this Los Angeles suburb, this massive single

opening, swallowing this SUV. Rescuers finding the driver standing

on her upside down car and screaming for help. Then, just minutes after

pulling her to safety, this. Tom Digiovanni is an amateur

meteorologist who lives in Santa Very good to see you. You are an

amateur Weather Watcher. Have you ever seen anything like this? I

haven't seen anything like this in probably 20 years. The rain that we

got yesterday was unbelievable. I can tell from the backdrop that you

up on a hillside. So perhaps you were at more risk is of mudslides

and things like that? Actually, my neighbourhood is still blocked in

both directions. The road is closed and we can't get out. So I know the

crews are working on clearing the mud, but right now we are basically

stranded. And how is it moving around Santa Barbara at the moment?

Well, once you get out of the areas that have mudslides, quite a few

roads are closed. You may be able to hear crews working in the background

behind me. Lower down the hill, chainsaw is going, lots of trees

down. Flooding everywhere. So we received over 6.5 inches of rain

yesterday. 6.5 inches? Well. That might not sound like a lot, but to

put it in context that is almost half of what we would get in a

typical year. And that came down in a few hours? Well, in a 24 hour

period, but last night was the worst. The rain rate at one point

was for ages now. And I can see you are out on your balcony, are you, at

the moment? The rain has eased, has it? But it is going elsewhere in the

country? Correct. I have friends in the Phoenix area, and they texted me

this morning that the rain was just starting there. It stops here about

11am this morning. So as a Weather Watcher, have you seen anything like

this before? Maybe you should tell our view is what it is,

bombogenesis? This was the culmination of a few things that

came together. There was moisture coming up in the South Pacific, that

normally doesn't hit California, but we were square in its sights this

time. And though it was like a river of rain coming up from the ocean,

and just parked itself over southern California. Quite incredible. It is

very good to see you. I am glad that you have not been washed away down

the hillside. Stay safe. I had my honeymoon there. It was a beautiful

place, Santa Barbara. Not with weather like that, I hope. No, it

was beautiful at the time. Darren has got the weather. Rachel says you

have never heard of bombogenesis. You were talking about it yesterday.

According to the Met Office, it wasn't a weather bomb, because the

pressure didn't drop quickly enough, it needs to drop 24 millibars in 24

hours and this particular low pressure system didn't do that.

Nevertheless we have seen the effects of the rain in particular,

and that was the biggest story, not so much the strength of the wind.

The rain has eased off, it should be a bit drier on Sunday but there

should be more rain on Sunday. The wet weather a bit further north.

Eventually we will get some wet and windy weather but we have mild

conditions today, and particularly tomorrow. There is a lot of clouds

spilling our way as well, and particularly coming in from the

Atlantic. That will thicken and lower to give hill fog and some

light rain or drizzle. So the best of any sunshine developing the date

will be across more eastern parts of the UK. Quite a cloudy stuff of many

of us, mind you, and we will see a little drizzle arriving across

western parts of Wales. Maybe the far south-west of England. The

chilli, actually, first thing across the south-east of England. Some

patches of mist and fog, but that is beginning to lift and we will start

to see some sunshine developing particular to the east of the

Pennines. Quite a dull and misty start across Northern Ireland, a lot

of low cloud, and we will see some rain and drizzle arriving across

western Scotland but eastern Scotland seeing something brighter,

drier, a little sunshine and for eastern parts of England, maybe

briefly across the Welsh Marches. Of the many western part of the UK it

is going to be getting more dull and damp as we get a little rain and

drizzle arriving and that hill fog as well. At a very mild day.

Temperatures typically 11 or 12, could get 13 if we get some

sunshine. Its stays mild overnight. This band of rain across Scotland

and Northern Ireland into northern England and Wales. Weakening as it

moves south. A lot of hill fog and a lot of cloud as well. These

temperatures, nine or ten is more typical of the daytime maximum but

that will be the minimum temperatures overnight. Very mild

air coming all the way from the south, from the tropics, over the

Atlantic, bringing with it a lot of cloud. That is what tends to happen

at this time of year, if it is very mild. It will also be very windy on

Monday. Gusty winds in eastern Scotland and north-east England, a

band of rain moving southwards, eventually bringing sunshine across

Scotland and Northern Ireland. Slightly cooler conditions here.

South of that rain We mentioned earlier we will be

following up a story later on about when it is appropriate to have

physical contact between a school teacher and a school pupil. This

after a neurologist came out and said that depriving children of

physical touch is a form of child abuse, and his view is very much

that teachers should be able to offer children some sort of physical

comfort if required. We would like your thoughts on this and we will be

talking to a neurologist later on, and a teacher representative as

well. We have one Tweet this morning saying, "My daughter's Nursery

teacher said they were told they should not comfort kids if they were

upset or hurt, but she said she ignored that advice and gave them a

couple anyway, and I am glad she did". And I have just had an email

from Natalie. "As A secondary school teacher in the last 11 years I can

tell you it is impossible to not have physical contact with a

student. When you build a relationship with students and then

one day they come to you in floods of tears, it is human instinct to

soothe them and offer them comfort. " Obviously there is a difference

between primary school teachers in secondary school teachers. Anyway,

you can email your thoughts to us. We'll be back with

the headlines at 7:00. This week Spencer Kelly and the team

are looking at the latest We first meet Team Lab,

the 400-strong digital art The team of artists,

programmers, engineers, CG animators, mathematicians

and the like, love to make an impact and here at the Pace London gallery,

they're presenting eight As with the work in Tokyo,

the idea here combines motion censors and the projectors,

which means you have a completely interactive piece that

you can touch and change. The whole room has been fully

calibrated so the censors can detect where everyone in the installation,

really, really accurately. And the artwork, the projections,

are calculated live. The pictures really do react

to whatever you do while you're ..kill a butterfly (CHUCKLES) -

don't show this at home, kids. This room is called

Flowers Bloom On People. With no-one in here,

it's just a black room but if you sit around for a few

minute, you'll find that nature Now I would say this is pretty

cutting-edge projector technology but Marc Cieslak has assured me

he can give this a run This is a home entertainment concept

from Razor, a company most famous for manufacturing gaming PCs,

covering more lights than Blackpool The concept makes use of coloured

lights and projected images, working together in

synchronised harmony. What we have here is a concept

lighting rig, which is actually key So the lights in this room

will change colour depending on what's happening, but it's only

part of what's going on. So if I just hit this button here,

we get the largest screen I've And that giant screen size is thanks

to a pretty expensive The projector is fitted

with an 155-degree fish eye lens, it combines this with two

depth-sensing cameras which scan The system then adjusts the image

to prevent it becoming distorted. So the idea is that by having

a screen which envelopes the peripheral vision of the viewer,

you really feel like you're thrown inside the action,

and it is surprisingly effective. At the moment, this system remains

a concept but Razor has hinted it I've been discovering

some of the latest ways that the technology is being used

to help the visually impaired. It all starts with a spot

of virtual reality. It just made me so, it was happiness

but it made me cry and I just I'd been without full sight

for so many years and then all of a sudden I could see things

that I hadn't seen for 30 years. Here at the Beacon Centre,

a charity supporting those with sight loss, an interesting

trial is taking place. It seems some people can see things

in VR they could never see I'd never expected it

but when they put the head set on, I mean there was giraffes,

coming up and looking at me! What would you say to other people

with a similar level of vision to you about the experience

of being able to do this Oh, if you've got the chance,

you have to have a go. I mean I know it's not full sight,

because you've got to wear a machine, I'm not saying,

that but to give you the experience, There are a wide range of conditions

that cause sight loss. The nature of which can vary hugely,

and even for those with similar problems, the benefits

of the VR have varied. By along with the University

of Wolverhampton, experts are trying to understand how this

is possible at all. What we found quite quickly is that

people who had central loss, macular type conditions,

as they are called, are the ones Where they still had peripheral

vision and whether that peripheral vision is so stimulated

as to fill in the gaps, or, whatever wee don't understand

yet, is it because it's so close? Is it because there are still sight

receptive cells in the centre of the vision, so that

when they're stimulated enough, that they will fire

and therefore create the vision? There's a whole host of things we're

still trying to explore If I could use that when my

daughter's doing her school plays or she's singing in the choir, like,

I could never pick out who she was or what she was doing,

or be able to see what you are seeing and that could really be

quite life changing. But however clear the virtual world

may seem, finding ways to ease There are eye beacons built

in here which connect this to the mobile app, so if somebody

is approaching and they have the app installed in their phone,

they'll receive an alert to let them know about the roadworks and how

best to approach them. And for someone like Louise

with two young kids, this smart street furniture

could make all the difference. Because it tells you which way

to go, so it can still be in my pocket I can have their hands,

one each, and I can hear the voiceover, so it will say

something like the pedestrian It's there for three

days or however long. So if I do the school run the same

day, I know exactly where it's going to be, I've walked

that walk yesterday. Also this week, some big claims

from a company that say their smart glasses can give the legally

blind 20/20 vision. As well as being able to stream

content, they've captured the user's surroundings, converting them

into a form, they say, is easier to identify for those

with limited vision. Sadly we couldn't put a pair

to the test just yet, and it's early days for much

of what is being trialled here but the possibilities

are certainly looking good. Now, virtual reality has been

grabbing all the headlines in recent years but don't forget

augmented reality. Now, this is the idea of projecting

computer-generated images on top A bit like this but

in a pair of glasses. Well, a small band of augmented

reality pioneers have been really Here's Marc again with some

pretty classy eyewear. These augmented reality glasses

are basically a wearable computer. For the last couple of years,

augmented reality specs have been used primarily in an industrial

setting or in the workplace. These have been competed

by a company called ODG, and they've been designed far more

with the consumer in mind. They feel a lot closer to normal

glasses, so to get the best out So, if I stand up, at the moment,

there's a 360-degree video playing. If I look around, I get

a different viewpoint here. I see a robot in front of me

and what looks like some kind And there's a guy over here,

who seems very unhappy and another guy who looks seems

to be shooting at him. The images move

seemlessly with my head. If I look around I can see planet

Earth in front of me. I can walk inside it and see

from outside of the planet, and appreciate it from this angle,

and if I stand here, yep, a space station that's

orbiting the Earth as well. Now, the glasses know

where they are, spacially, because there's a couple

of cameras on front of them. And all of the processing

is happening on the head set itself. The ODGR-8 glasses will cost around

?800 but they are basically There are some cheaper

lower tech AR options There are lots of low-cost virtual

reality headsets that make This is a low-cost augmented reality

headset that uses a phone. Put an AR app on it and the images

on the screen is reflected on these So when the headset's on,

I can bring down the screen and I scan see graphics reflected

from the phone just in the headset. Now, it has another trick

up its sleeve as well. I can see my hands in front of me

and use them to cast flames. That is it for the short cut of

click this week from Trancesnding Boundaries in London. There is more

online. Thanks for watching. Hello, this is Breakfast,

Sunday 19 February. Also ahead: In the past hour,

Iraqi forces have begun an offensive to drive Islamic State militants

out of western Mosul, their last remaining

stronghold in Iraq. Donald Trump defends his first

month in office, claiming there is a new spirit

of optimism sweeping the US. You've seen what we've accomplished

in a very short period of time. The White House is

running so smoothly. The row over business

rates rumbles on. Now, the boss of Sainsbury's

demands fundamental reform. Sinkholes, mudslides

and deadly winds. The powerful storms hitting

California are now sweeping north. In sport: A non-League team

will play in the FA Cup quarter-finals, for the first

time in over a century. Lincoln City, from the fifth tier

of English football, shocked Premier League side Burnley,

to go through to the last eight The FA Cup quarter-final draw

takes place tonight. After 7:00am, we will ask

the managing director of Lincoln City what it was like

for him watching that historic win. As well as a giant snowdrop,

we've got some springlike temperatures in the next few days,

but it comes with a lot of cloud. The best of the sunshine

in the east. First, our main story: Thousands

of prison officers in London and south-east England are getting

an immediate pay increase Ministers have made the decision

to try to boost recruitment and retain staff numbers,

in the face of increasing violence. But the Prison Officers Association

says it is a divisive quick fix, and specialist and more experienced

staff won't benefit. Our home affairs correspondent

Tom Symonds reports. They are on the frontline

of the troubled Prison Service. Their numbers have been

falling in recent years. Now, the Government is putting

in place a ?12 million pay offer to keep them in their jobs

and attract new people. But only officers in 31 prisons

in London and the south-east, including this one,

Wandsworth, will benefit. They are the jails under most

pressure, struggling The offer is for standard,

grade three prison officers, not more senior supervisors

or specialists. The pay package for new recruits

will be boosted by ?5,000, But the Prison Officers Association

believes this offer won't We're going to welcome additional

money for our members. But we don't think this goes far

enough to solving the prison crisis. We believe it needs

to be a national issue. We weren't properly

consulted on this, either. So we believe that if the Secretary

of State wants to make these arbitrary decisions on pay,

then she should consult us fully, and we can point out

the inconsistencies and problems that will arise as a

result of this policy. The Government is also

increasing training, vital if it is to deal

with the growing threats Mental health issues,

along with what ministers describe The Iraqi Prime Minister says

an operation has begun to retake the western part of the city of

Mosul from Islamic State militants. It is the last major

IS stronghold in Iraq. Government forces started

their offensive in October, and last month secured

the eastern part of the city, The United Nations has urged

all parties in the conflict to do everything they can to ensure

the safety of hundreds of thousands Our correspondent Quentin Somerville

is with the Iraqi troops who are preparing to do battle

in the narrow streets of western In the distance, American aircraft

have been launching air strikes against the outskirts

of western Mosul. Large booms have been

sounding all morning, and around me are tanks

and armoured vehicles of Iraq's emergency

response division. Special forces are getting ready

to move over the area in front of me and begin the assault on western

Mosul, the last remaining city here in Iraq that is still

in the hands of the so-called These men are not expecting an easy

day of it, as this battle begins, because they know from drone footage

that the Islamic State They have dug tunnels

into the surrounding villages that lie just before western Mosul's

outskirts, and before They are also expecting

to face suicide car bombs. But, as you can perhaps

hear behind me, the men are in an ebullient mood just

as this battle gets underway. That was Quentin Sommerville,

who is embedded with the Iraqi troops who are preparing to do

battle in western Mosul. President Trump has made a robust

defence of his first four weeks in office, and insisted that

a new spirit of optimism Speaking to supporters

at an airport hangar in Florida, he repeated his campaign pledges

to create jobs and improve Mr Trump again turned his fire

on the media, accusing it of being dishonest

about his administration. Our correspondent Laura Bicker

reports from Florida. to do you would be wrong. After just

four weeks in office, President Trump as a more years. The first

Lady also made an appearance, starting her remarks with Lord's

Riu. Our father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. The kingdom

come, thy will be done. But there is more to this rally. Donald Trump is

trying to change the subject after headlines of chaos and controversy

in his administration. He is back where you appears to be more

comfortable, behind the campaign podium, rather than a desk in the

Oval Office. I am here because I want to be among my friends, and

among the people. He enjoys an audience, and takes heart from his

fans. One even made it on stage, after waiting since the early

morning. When President Trump promised all these things that he

was going to do for us, I knew he was going to do this for us. He also

had tough words for some of his alleged foes, the media. He has a

new term for them, the enemy. These supporters are his people, and this

is his message. A chance to appraise his first month of office, one he

sees as a success. Make America great again, that is what it is. He

has kind of been up and down, I kind of feel like he is not 100% doing

good but I want to give him more time. January 20 2017, a presidency

died. In New York, protest held a fake funeral for the presidency, the

political ideals of America seem further apart than ever. This rally

will be hugely popular with his voting base, but it won't help him

in Washington. If President Trump is to push through his campaign

promises, he may need to take his message to Capitol Hill, rather than

an adoring crowd. The boss of Sainsbury's has joined

the growing row over the re-evaluation of business rates,

the commercial version The supermarket's chief executive,

Mike Coupe, says changes being introduced to reflect

the value of property could leave high streets facing serious

challenges and closures, while internet operations

could see their bills cut. For the first time in seven years,

rates are being updated in April, With prices rising strongly

in the south-east, but falling sharply in less prosperous regions,

there will be some dramatic differences, some businesses

seeing increases of 400%. Sainsbury's will see its bill rise

to around ?500 million, up from ?483 million,

while analysts predict internet giant Amazon will have its business

rate bill cut at the majority The boss of Sainsbury's,

Mike Coupe, isn't happy. Mike Coupe says businesses

like his one, with lots of property and employees, face a bigger burden

than online-only retailers. He is calling for a fundamental

reform of the system, What is needed, he says,

is a level playing field, to reflect the changing

retail landscape. Business rates affect 1.85 million

properties in England alone. They are set to raise ?23.5 billion

for the Treasury this year. The Government says 920,000

businesses will see their bills go To make the sums add up,

more than 500,000 will see Rates in Scotland and Wales

are being reassessed. Northern Ireland won't get

an overhaul for another few years. In England, the Government says

the changes will be phased in, The biggest storm to hit California

for several years has left at least four people dead and around 150,000

homes without power. Giant sinkholes

appeared in some roads. A fire crew managed to get out

of this engine before it was swallowed on the main

motorway from Los Angeles to Las This was another sinkhole

in Studio City, where a woman was rescued from the roof

of her car, moments before a second The former boxer Michael Watson has

been injured during an attempt Mr Watson, who's 51 and partially

disabled, had a substance sprayed in his face, and was

dragged along the road. He and a friend are

recovering at home. The police have appealed

for information. The RSPCA has begun an investigation

after as many as 1,800 day-old chicks were found dumped in a field

in south Lincolnshire. The charity was alerted

after members of the public spotted You can hear the noise

that they made. People in the area helped

round the birds up into boxes, and a breeder collected

the survivors. It is not yet known

who abandoned the chicks. Here is someone who is enjoying

retirement. Who do you think it might be? Quite nifty, is in the? He

is quite nifty. He has a good left foot. There is the clue. David

Beckham, who after years as a professional athlete is finally

allowed to snowboard, on his Instagram account he has been

sharing this footage of him saying he is living the dream and on day

four it looks like he has got the hang of it. I had a go at that, and

my knees and my bomb were so sore I went back to skis. -- my bum. To be

fair, he is not going to show us the videos on him falling on his bum.

That might be the final attempt. It is time for a look at the

newspapers. Our tech expert is here to tell us what has caught his eye.

First of all, we take a look at the front pages. We start with the

Sunday Times, who have a story about a suspected Trojan horse plot to

take over the state school by Islamic extremists. The Observer

reporting that as many as 25% of abattoirs are failing basic hygiene

tests to stop contaminated meat actually reaching High Street

butchers and supermarkets. They also look at the rights of EU citizens

hoping to stay in Britain Post Brexit. A security conference in

Munich has been talking about a Russian plot to assassinate the

Prime Minister of Montenegro, which was foiled, but only hours before it

was due to be carried out on election day. They are looking for

Russian intelligence officers who apparently hatched the plot.

Pictures of Lincoln City fans on the front of the Telegraph, which you

may have missed. The Sunday express has calls for the National

Association -- calls from the National Association for the

children of alcoholics, saying that children are calling the hotline

asking to be read bedtime stories, because their parents are to drop.

There are a lot of interesting things in the papers out there. We

are looking at the idea of automation and the world may be

going over to robots that we may have something cold Universal Income

and there may be a chance that everyone gets paid to almost do

nothing. The left-wing candidate in France, he is talking about this. It

was laughed out of court last week when he said there should be a tax

on robots. That is interesting. He is not the only person to have said

this. Bill Gates says this as well, that we should tax robots. Because

if they are coming to take jobs, shouldn't the manufacturers pay

something towards income tax? It is coming from Bill Gates, you think

about it and that sounds amazing. Because more people and more robots

is a dangerous mix? In this report they have looked at a scheme in

Finland where they have introduced something similar. This is different

to a living wage or a minimum wage, isn't it? Number one, there is an

idea that it could be dangerous. It is almost the exact opposite, it

could liberate society nicely. If you think about what is happening

now with us moving over to the right because people are worried about

immigration... If you squeeze on jobs coming from the tech sector,

you may get the fact that we get even more right wind. However,

another nice thing you could think about is that if if you have

something like a Universal Income that may prevent people from

worrying about whether or not they have a safety net. You could find

that after a swing to the ride there could be a swing back left. Thank

you. That is what technology can do. During PTSD in the Telegraph by

deleting memories. This is a wonderful idea. The idea that you

can go into the memory and isolate different areas and take out the bad

memories inside your rain. You can now do this, potentially, with hills

technology. They can take out the new ROMs in your mind. I can not my

mind around that. There is only speculation at the moment. They

think with a certain drug that you can put in there it does not

actually take out the brain cells. Increasingly we are learning about

how the mind Works and which parts are responsible for what.

Absolutely. There is a chance now as technology improves that we can

start controlling the mind a little more. Stored in small networks of

souls called engrams and scientists discovered that they could turn off

memories by removing engrams from mice. We can do a eyes, not in

humans yet. Be careful. I kind of think I want my memories reinserted.

Technology is quite a theme this morning. Switching of digitally, on

the Observer. The idea that we may be coming to Wii addicted to our

mobile phones and social media. It is a really good point. Maybe we are

a little bit too switched on digitally. This talks about the fact

that if you are one of these new type of workers, you do not have any

time off. If you work for Uber or do delivery... This gig economy, you

must always be on. It would cost you to turn your phone off because if

you make money from this technology, turning off your phone will cost

you. And if you have a mobile phone surgically implanted in your hand...

Dan brought his into the studio. It has my notes in it. And most of us

will do this. We keep that a few metres away from us. I was caught

using mine yesterday. You do use it for work. What is this? Ten reasons

to meditate. What that phone down. The idea is to do instead of having

your mobile phone now, to be more mindful. There are some famous

people who meditate... Yoda is not one of them. I love the different

reasons. Very typically mail. "It Is good for the gut." -- typically

masculine. The next generation of people, ironically, they have

meditation app on their phone. Thank you so much. Lettuce checks in on

the weather now. -- let's have a look at the weather now. Sunshine

coming through today but that will be limited. A lot of cloud

nevertheless it will be another mild day and most of us are starting

cloudy this morning. It has been misty with patchy fog in the

south-east of England and cold as well. Temperatures are beginning to

lift. A little light rain coming in to west Wales through the morning.

The clouds breaking up and not just around The Wash marchers but to the

east the Pennines in particular. Northern Ireland and western

Scotland are not faring quite so well. The cloud will thicken and

lower and there will be hell for the round. We will seek some pockets of

light rain and drizzle. It will also turn damp and dull across the west

of England and Wales. So the best of the sunshine will be in the

sheltered eastern areas of England, Wales and Scotland. 13 degrees is

possible if you get some sunshine. A mild day on the way. Mild for the

football today. Another day full of shocks in the FA Cup. Rather damp of

black burn with low cloud and drizzle. There is a band of rain

coming into the north-west of the UK by evening. That will be heavy at

first, think southwards and become light and patchy. It leaves us with

a lot of cloud, freshening breeze as well. Hill fog and a mild night

tonight. You will not need the heating. Nine or 10 degrees is the

temperature. The mild there is coming from a long south, from the

tropics, pushing across the UK. However with the mild weather you

get a lot of cloud and Monday you will be windy as well, especially

gusty winds east of Scotland, the eastern side of England, is that the

Pennines. A band of rain moving southwards with more showers and

cooler air across the north. To the south, a good part of England and

Wales is having a mild day. If we get some sunshine, temperatures

could be locally 16 or 17 degrees. The rest of the week, temperatures

will not be as high. Could be chilly by the end of the week. Windy

conditions to come at times as well. But is it from me. We will watch out

for that wind. Now just one month at Saint Donald Trump became President

of the United States and he is already back out on the campaign

trail. Promising supporters in Florida last night that he would

wind, wind, wind, President Trump launched another stinging attack on

the media, accusing them of continuing to spread fake news.

Joining us from Texas is one of this supporters. Thank you for joining

us. I know it is late night over there. Tell us first of all, what do

you make of yesterday's rally? What was the purpose? The purpose was for

him to do a couple of things. To go to this base, the people who came

forward in the election and supported him which, if you recall,

part of the reason he won was because of that sleeping giant of

Americans who felt that the mainstream press, the elite

politicians had forgotten them. They call them, in fact, the forgotten

men and women. He wanted to demonstrate that they were with him.

That was a signal not just for this ego but for the press and for many

politicians who are running for office. Maybe who are thinking about

being on the fence and supporting him. He is letting them know upfront

that he has a lot of support from the grassroots and they came out in

record numbers. It was fun to watch. Certainly interesting to watch. The

mainstream media that covering it in full. On the other hand we have the

vice president in Europe discussing global security. Who is being more

presidential here? That is what makes a good team. Vice President p

has been around the Washington environment for many years and he is

a good person to be the number 24 Donald Trump. But really, I think

Donald Trump has come in at a time when Americans have felt like the

old way of doing business did not work. Politicians were elected. They

promised so much. They never produced. Our national security was

compromised, our military was being um, becoming less significant and

supportive financially. Veterans were not getting good healthcare.

People were getting into a mindset, almost like 1930s kind of depression

feeling that they were being abandoned. He came in. I think that

in some ways he is a bull in a china shop. People need to learn how to

deal with him. On the hand, we have a press that is a lot different than

it was when Obama was elected because, when you think about it,

when Obama was elected there were only 100,000 bloggers. Now there are

27 million. You have a press that is changing, with the New York Times is

letting go of journalists. The Wall Street journal. You have this whole

array of how we get our news and it is changing fundamentally. We have a

lot of social media which is also... I mean in many ways it is good

because you have citizen journalists but it is problematic. And now the

mainstream press, which is now operating online has become more

like reality television and becoming opinion journalists. They are

lowering the standard of journalism. They are searching for clicks to

show that they have a broad base of people that like them. That is

interesting. There has been a democratisation of the media and a

direct line from Donald Trump to his audience. One that he uses as well

is being widely and extensively covered in the mainstream media. Do

you think that this is about him gaining reassurance when it is clear

that he is failing, although Courcy 's core support perhaps is still

sticking with them, but he is failing to bring in any of the

voters who did not give him their support back in November. That is so

silly. He has already got over 200,000 jobs. He is working on

trying to lower regulations for the people who worry and industry, the

small business people, whether it is through the different kinds of

fundamental labour problems that we have had in this country. You are

talking about robots and so forth, he is trying to get jobs for the

working people and that is who are showing up at the rallies. The

interesting thing is that if you look at the states that he won that

should have been won by Democrats and they were lost to union people

who felt that they were losing their jobs. He did say he would bring the

country together. Let me ask you this, is there anything at all that

worries you about the way President Trump is going about his business?

Well... I'm not so worried about how he is going about the business,

because it is kind of early. But I hope that our industry can work

together with him to help not just the American people but the world

understand what is at stake. National security, energy, jobs and

our allies that we are close to you. Where are you guys. I am glad that

Winston Churchill is back in the White House. I just hope that we can

bridge the gap and it is too early. We need to give the guy a chance. He

has been there a month. We are feeling the love this morning. Thank

you very much. You have a great show. A Trump supported speaking to

us from Texas. Andrew Marr is online o'clock this morning. What do you

have for us today? We feel the love here as well. Mr Tony Blair telling

the country to rise up against Brexit and stop it happening. What

does that actually mean? I'm joined by Lord Madison to explain and Liz

truss from the Justice Department will talk about the crisis in the

prisons plus a wonderful actor. We have a Labour MP, and a UKIP MP. A

lot to talk about and some rather strange music from California at the

end of the show. Just a couple of your e-mail is on a story we touched

on earlier about when it is appropriate, when it is not

appropriate to have physical contact between teachers and schoolchildren.

We will speak to any roll it has played on who has come out and said

that he believes that teachers not giving physical reassurance at

appropriate times disk called children is a form of child abuse.

That is a strong statement to make. Many signs to say that children

benefit from hugs and cuddles and we have had many e-mail is already.

Tracy says that children should be offered comfort. Within the special

school she works in they attacked are with the children and it is done

appropriately and openly. And another perspective. Stephen says he

spent his lifetime working as a teacher in child welfare and he said

as a teacher he was told never to touch a child to prevent any risk of

abuse accusations. He has never been accused when touching a child to

pay increase of between Ministers have made the offer

to try to boost recruitment and retain workers in jails,

which are under severe pressure But the Prison Officers Association

says it is a divisive quick fix, and that specialist and more

experienced staff won't benefit. We're not doing anything in these

latest announcements for those staff There's nothing in those

other grades, as well, There is a real recruitment

problem in those areas, as well, so just focusing on one

particular group is making it very divisive, and will cause animosity

among some other staff. Some breaking news in the past hour:

The Iraqi Prime Minister says an operation has begun to retake

the western part of the city of Mosul from Islamic

of those incidents, but incredible pictures. And in the sport, any good

news? Well, you might want to disappear for the next 15 minutes,

while we talk FA Cup. A spoiler alert that match day highlights are

coming soon, so if you want to get a cup of tea, it could be a good time

to do that but only out of the FA Cup is the reason -- Burnley out of

the FA Cup is the reason you are not happy this morning. And Lincoln's

manager joining us later this morning. And Dyche perhaps not so

happy this morning. I was at Molineux. We will talk about that

later. The first time in over a century

that a non-League side has made it Lincoln City are the National League

leaders, and they beat the Premier League's Burnley 1-0,

with a dramatic 89th-minute winner In a competition famous

for its shocks, this result was one of the greatest in history,

non-League Lincoln City matching and beating a Burnley side who drew

with Premier League leaders And Lincoln City take the lead,

with a minute to go. This is a special group of boys,

and unreal, unreal. I didn't really know what to do

with the celebration. But a non-League side

into the quarterfinals, 81 League places separated these

guys, but Lincoln followed up wins over Ipswich and Brighton

in the previous rounds with a strong start at Turf Moor,

and while the Premier League team had their own openings,

it would become an increasingly frustrating and edgy

afternoon's work for them. Harassed all match,

he was lucky not to be sent off. They pushed the end,

and with headlines waiting to be written, Sean Raggett

and company duly obliged. Not even five minutes of injury

time could stop this This is one of the great

shocks of the competition. For a non-League team to be

in the last eight of the FA Cup, and coming away from Wembley,

and two games away from People said to me, it may

be a football miracle. It is certainly a miracle

when you consider no non-League side had made it into the FA Cup

quarterfinals for 103 This quite some

Raggett-to-riches story. That was by no means the only FA

Cup shock of the day. League One side Millwall beat

the Premier League champions Leicester City 1-0,

to secure their place And that was despite Millwall

being reduced to ten men for much Shaun Cummings grabbed

the 90th-minute winner to put the League One side

into the next round, You have to say why and react as

soon as is possible. The Premier League, they may be better than us.

They are better than Millwall, but Millwall deserved to win.

So, as we have been hearing, history has been made in the FA Cup.

Well, joining us is the managing director of Leicester City,

Kevin Cooke, and his girlfriend, Jo Ticehurst.

But first, let's take a look at how the team made their remarkable run.

Over the top for Theo Robinson. Lincoln City through! In the dying

seconds. A full out of possession, Max Arnold. It is a dangerous

looking ball. It is an own goal. Unbelievable. Sean Raggett! It was

in! It is in, and Lincoln City take the lead at Burnley.

Joining us as one of the men who made that happen, in amongst the

throng of celebrating people there. The managing director and the club's

managing director, great to have you with us on the sofa this morning.

Met Christian, a lifelong, devoted Burnley fan. I know he wants to

shake your hand. Well done, mate. It is a brilliant effort. If they were

my team, I would be really excited. It is over 100 years since they have

been in the quarterfinal. A fantastic day football club,

incredibly proud of everyone associated with Lincoln City. The

players were incredible, and rightly their families will be waking up

this morning proud of them and our supporters, it is just unbelievable.

That is assuming they have gone to bed. They will have enjoyed last

night, and we still have a game on Tuesday, so there is no celebrating

the players and staff, except for the supporters to have a beer on us.

Everybody wants to know Lincoln City. So tell us about you and your

story. Where have you come from and how have you managed to make this

into such an incredible team? Well, by trade I am a PE teacher, at a,

hence its school in Essex, for 15 years. You have never been a

professional football. I have played nonleague, so I played semi-

professionally, I really enjoyed my football but unfortunately it was

cut short at 28 or 29 through injury, and I managed a team called

Concord Rangers. We started at step five in the Essex senior league, so

step five is non- league. National League, which Lincoln City are in, I

step one of nonleague. So five divisions below that, three

promotions at Concord, we had some success and went to Braintree last

year, which gave us this opportunity to take over Lincoln, and manage

Lincoln during this season. So you have only been with them a year.

Just the season, yes, Nicky and I. It is a great football club, and I

am proud to be associated with it. What a find. A very good find, I

think it is probably the best decision we have made in 20 years.

What impressed you about him? What impressed us, before we appointed

them, if they have done so well with Raintree. What got our minds working
