regulators. Newcastle take a big step into returning to the Premier | :01:23. | :01:26. | |

And the not so bonny banks of Loch Lomond - | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
why wild campers are no longer welcome. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |

windy later on. I will have more in about 15 minutes. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Donald Trump has promised a new chapter of American | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
greatness in his first speech to Congress. | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
He also appealed for unity, saying the time for trivial | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
In an hour-long speech he promised extra spending on infrastructure, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
the military, and pledged to tackle illegal immigration and terrorism. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Our correspondent Laura Bicker has this report from Washington. | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
Donald Trump's trip to Congress gave him a few last moments to practise | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
his speech. The President of the United States. This platform is new | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
territory for this political insider -- outsider. Donald Trump set out | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
his vision with emphasis on border control. We must restore integrity | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
and the rule of law at our borders. For that reason, we will soon begin | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
the construction of a great, great Wall along our southern border. He | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
softened his tone on immigration, talking of reform and a new | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
merit-based system. I'm going to bring back millions of jobs, | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
protecting our workers also means reforming our system of legal | :03:09. | :03:16. | |
immigration. The longest and most bipartisan applause of the night was | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
saved for the widow of a Navy SEAL. Ryan is looking down right now, you | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
know that. And he is very happy because I think he just broke a | :03:28. | :03:44. | |
record. Most stayed stony threes throughout. Our also have the same | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
great American flag. And we all are made by the same guy. This was the | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
most presidential power of his presidency and there will be | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
summoned his party a sigh of relief. Great | :04:09. | :04:09. | |
We'll get reaction to President Trump's address | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
from a former speechwriter to George W Bush. | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
considering Donald Trump was swept to power because he was | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
unconventional, this speech was quite a conventional political | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
speech. But there was much in there that will please his own party. That | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
talk of $1 trillion investment in infrastructure. The talk of | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
repealing and replacing Obamacare. That is the current healthcare | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
system. There was talk of the thing up the military Budget. On the other | :04:50. | :05:01. | |
side of the aisle where the Democrats were sitting, very much | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
unhappy with what they were hearing. However, when it comes to what they | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
will be asking for in the future, that talk of spending when it comes | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
to infrastructure perhaps many states see new bridges and new roads | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
and perhaps Democrats will be looking to Republicans at that time, | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
saying, maybe there are some deals which can be done. In terms of what | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
he needed to do in this speech, he achieved it. He needed to produce an | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
historic moment where he showed that he could be a steady hand. And that | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
is what he managed to do. Later we will get reaction to President | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
Trump's address from us former speechwriter to George W Bush. | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
People caught using their phone while driving face tougher | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Fines in England, Wales and Scotland will double to ?200 hundred | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
and offenders will get six points on their licence. | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
It will mean newly qualified drivers with less than two years | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
on the road face losing their licence if caught sending | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
Our correspondent, Robert Hall, joined one police patrol | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
in Cambridgeshire as it stopped offenders. | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
On a busy main road in Cambridgeshire, police cameras | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
The evidence from around the UK is crystal clear, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
we've been warned but we simply aren't listening. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
The most recent report from the RAC found 31% of drivers admit | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
to using a hand-held phone at the wheel compared with 8% | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
She had it held in both hands, texting or doing whatever | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
This driver was spotted holding her phone to plot a route. | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
You had your phone in both hands on top of your steering wheel. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
You may or may not be aware it is going to change. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
?200 fine and no option of any sort of education course at all. | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
It's just how she was using her phone that makes it an offence. | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
It's more than just making a phone call. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Further up the road, a two-minute call will have serious | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
In the 20 odd years I've been on the road I've seen people | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
with laptops, I've seen phone in one hand, laptop in the other, | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
That what just happened there, minor indiscretion in relation | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Unfortunately your mum's been killed. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
Police operations will now run alongside a media campaign centred | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Higher penalties are only part of the answer, in the end we must | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
all be conscious of the lives we put at risk. | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
There's nothing that is so important that it cannot wait. | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Don't use your phone while you're driving. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Robert Hall, BBC News, Cambridgeshire. | :07:47. | :07:55. | |
Will be talking about that at length a little bit later. | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
Two women have appeared in court in Malaysia charged with murdering | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
the half brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
The suspects are accused of killing him with the nerve agent | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
VX in Kuala Lumpur airport a fortnight ago. | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
Let's get the latest from our Korea correspondent Steve Evans in Seoul. | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
Steve, I would imagine there was strict security | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
Huge security. They were leading separately by a phalanx of heavily | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
armed police with helmets, Paul masks, separately into the court. | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
The charge was read to them that they murdered a North Korean | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
citizens in the departure terminal of Kuala Lumpur airport. One of them | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
simply nodded that she understood the charge. The other said, in | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
English, I understand the charge but I didn't do it. The assumption had | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
been that they thought they had been duped into some kind of prank. In | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
other words, that they were doing something for reality TV. Just the | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
fact that the charge has been bought indicates that the Malaysia | :08:55. | :08:56. | |
authorities are not buying that theory. The rationale must be that | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
if they thought it was a prank, they might have touched this substance | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
themselves. They clearly didn't. They thought it was dangerous, | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
therefore the charge is murder. It goes up to a higher court. At the | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
end of it all, if they are found guilty, it will be a mandatory death | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
sentence. The Government faces the prospect | :09:17. | :09:17. | |
of its first defeat over the Brexit Opposition peers want an amendment | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
to protect the rights Our political correspondent | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Carole Walker is in Westminster. if the government loses this | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
vote, what happens next? It looks as if opposition peers and | :09:32. | :09:45. | |
some Conservatives will inflict the first defeat on the government over | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
this issue. They say the government should guarantee the rights of those | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
3 million EU nationals in Britain now. That's despite the fact that | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
the Home Secretary has written to Piers saying this is a priority for | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
the government. They say we want to do it as part of a reciprocal deal | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
which also ensures the rights of a million British citizens living | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
across the European Union. If, as seems likely, the government is | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
defeated, the issue comes back to the Commons. It will be embarrassing | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
for the government but ministers will hope to be able to overturn the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
defeat in the Commons. It has to go back to the Lords. It is hoped they | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
will back down and let the bill go through and trickle -- trigger | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
Article 50 as scheduled by the end of March. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
Scientists have found evidence of a strong link | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
The study, at Imperial College London, concluded that being obese | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
increased the risk of getting 11 cancers including those | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Researchers say maintaining a healthy weight is the single most | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
important way to reduce the risk of cancer after not smoking. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Parents and children across England and Wales will find out if they've | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
secured their secondary school of choice today. | :10:59. | :10:59. | |
The Good Schools Guide predicts that one in six children in England | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
will miss out on their first choice school. | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
The problem is expected to be worse than last year, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
due to an extra 15,000 applications for secondary school places - | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
which is said to have been driven by a rising birth rate. | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
If you found out this morning with your childhood into their first | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
choice, let us know. How many pancakes did you have yesterday? I | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
had a measly one. I tried to crack double figures. You beat me. I did | :11:36. | :11:42. | |
six. Two sittings. There you go. An early sitting and a late one. Save a | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
real sweet? All suite. Now you may have flipped a few | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
pancakes yesterday - how about this for an epic | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Shrove Tuesday challenge? This is the final lap of the pancake | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
race at Worcester Cathedral. As you can see we have a birds-eye | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
view from the perspective of the Dean, the Very | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
Reverend Peter Atkinson, as he completes a number of | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
obstacles while flipping a pancake. They do the race every year, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
but it was the first time they'd strapped a camera to one | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
of the participants. The teams were made up of clergy, | :12:13. | :12:21. | |
vergers and choristers, all of whom were cheered | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
across the line by some I am massively disappointed he has | :12:25. | :12:44. | |
not dipped for the line-up. He has his hand out. I wonder if the rule | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
means that the pan counts but do you have to get your chest across? The | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
pan has to count in that race. A real intense face. How many pancakes | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
have you had? 810. All of the same kind? I can't promise I was going to | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
do double figures and then fall short. All suite pancakes. A bit of | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
chocolate spread the net. It's brilliant, I love it. I did actually | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
dropper pancake trying to flip it. Did you eat it? 5- second rule? It | :13:17. | :13:27. | |
went in the bin. Good morning everyone. | :13:28. | :13:34. | |
Newcastle's push for an instant return to the Premier League | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
Rafa Benitez's side came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 and replace | :13:37. | :13:52. | |
them at the top of the Championship. Hamilton Academical are off the | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
bottom of the Scottish Premiership, They pulled off a shock by beating | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
second-placed Aberdeen 1-0. Andy Murray wins his first match since | :14:02. | :14:03. | |
that surprise exit from the Australian Open. He beat Malek | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
Jaziri in straight sets in Dubai. After being left out of England's | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Six Nations win over Italy - centre Jonathan Joseph is recalled to Eddie | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
Jones' training camp ahead of their Calcutta Cup clash with Scotland | :14:20. | :14:20. | |
next weekend. And we have more coming up on Andy | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
Murray and how he found out what was wrong with him. Carol has got some | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
gorgeous daffodils. In honour of Saint Davids today, I | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
hope you have a lovely one, here are some daffodils. A mixture of | :14:38. | :14:40. | |
sunshine and showers today but some rain coming in to the south-west and | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
through the day that will sweep northwards. | :14:45. | :14:46. | |
At the other end of the country we have showers and some are wintry | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
with the risk of ice. The risk of ice on untreated surfaces this | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
morning in Scotland, Northern Ireland, north-west England and | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
Wales but away from the showers it's not bad to start with, sunshine in | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
Scotland and northern England, variable amounts of cloud and some | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
sunny spells in Northern Ireland and south through the rest of England | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
and Wales, variable amounts of cloud again but a lot of dry weather and | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
sunshine until the south-west. This is where we have the rain continuing | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
to push across the south-west coming up across the English Channel, the | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
Channel Islands and through the day that will continue its journey | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
moving eastwards and northwards. Still a question as to how far north | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
it will get but this is what we think at the moment. Away from that, | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
not a bad day, you have that mixture of sunshine and showers, some will | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
be wintry on higher ground and the rain approaching Northern Ireland | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
means the cloud will build a head. Still quite a cool day, temperatures | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
in double figures towards the south. Later in the day what you'll find is | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
we will see the wind strengthening across England and Wales, | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
particularly southern England and Wales and there will also be some | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
snow so it could lead to travel disruption with the snow further | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
north. There goes the rain and as it engages with the cold air we could | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
see some snow but the wind will almost certainly be a feature. We're | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
looking at gusts in man, 50, 55, 60 mph and around the coasts, 70 mph -- | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
inland. That wind speed across the south, Wales and northern England | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
eventually, again they will uproot trees and bring down branches and we | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
could see flying debris. If you're travelling in a high sided vehicle | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
or a light vehicle, take extra care. The snow will be in parts of Wales, | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
the Midlands and northern England and the south of Northern Ireland, | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
mostly a hill feature but we could see some of this at lower levels as | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
well. North of that it will be a cold and frosty night and there's | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
the risk of ice where we have some light surfaces. Tomorrow morning we | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
start with the strong winds but slowly they start to ease. It will | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
still be quite a windy day having said that. A band of rain weakening, | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
but you can see there is still some attached to that and as it engages | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
with the cold air further north and the showers, some of that will be | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
wintry as well but a lot of dry weather, temperatures in double | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
figures and we have the range showing its hand in north Wales and | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
Northern Ireland. More weather to look out for, especially this | :17:21. | :17:21. | |
evening and overnight. It's been quite dramatic. Thank you | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
very much and happy Saint Davids Day as well! Get your daffodils out! She | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
did already! You're watching | :17:33. | :17:33. | |

picture of one of the relatives those killed in Tunisia in the | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
resort of Sousse outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
yesterday, another story we will cover this morning on Breakfast. | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
There he is, front page of the Daily Mail. We were talking about the car | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
insurance and they are saying there could be a review ordered last night | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
into a car insurance shakeup which could impact millions of drivers and | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
government ministers could be looking at that again. Here he is | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
again on the front page of the Mirror, ?363 million, Sir Philip | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
Green and the Daily Express has him as well and Emma Watson as well. | :18:57. | :19:02. | |

papers talking about the aspects people are being talked about in | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
that court case -- Cantlie. What have you got? The Daily Express, | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
what will he do, stay at Manchester United for another year? Actually | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
there's a growing theory Wayne Rooney could go back to Everton and | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
that's a shot of him playing for Everton in 2002. Once a blue always | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
a blue. You leave your boyhood club, the club you supported as a kid and | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
you play for them in a dream scenario, go back as a... There's | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
been no animosity, he loves them and the fans and the club still love | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
him. You've seen some? Sometimes you see it. They would certainly have | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
him back. It's not like when Michael Owen went from Liverpool to | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
Manchester United. Very different. Shall I go? Go for it! You can carry | :20:15. | :20:21. | |
on if you like! Of course I'm going to talk about | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
Philip Green later, we're going to speak to the organiser of the | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
campaign trying to get him to cough up and pay the extra ?360 million. | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
This story at the bottom of the Times. There was concern of course | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
as part of the Brexit negotiations we would no longer be able to travel | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
to Europe and be able to roam for free because remember the European | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Commission is scrapping roaming charges in June and they say that's | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
still the case. I want to show you this, it says Donald Trump, the | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
travel ban in the US, a huge fall in the number of searches for trips to | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
the US. 58% fall in searches for flights to tamper in Miami, 30% down | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
in Miami, they just down 40%. Do you know the pound coin is changing? I | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
do know this. Only one in three people know the round pound will be | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
gone in October and replaced by this little number. It's being replaced | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
quite quickly, it comes into circulation this month. Is it not | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
round? It is 12 sided. It is. The point being so many people have to | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
change. One of our guys was saying their local leisure centre will have | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
to spend ?100 changing every locker to accept the new pound coins. You | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
think about trolleys and vending machines and all those things... Go | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
through the day and think how many times you use a pound and all that | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
needs to change in the next six months. I'm thinking about going | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
through all the pockets in my coats and the back of the sofa. You'd have | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
as much as Philip Green! The serious reason is there are so many fake ?1 | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
coins, this is the reason. It is harder to fake that one? It is | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
harder, to different mess metals, it is 12 sided, lots of reasons. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
Two years ago, 38 people were killed by gunfire | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
For six weeks the inquests into the 30 British deaths | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
have been taking place. | :22:26. | :22:26. | |
A coroner concluded the victims had been unlawfully killed. | :22:27. | :22:28. | |
Suzanne Evans lost her eldest son, brother and father. | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
Cheryl Stollery saw her husband John killed next to her. | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
Both Suzanne and Cheryl have been speaking to our correspondent, | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
I hope people will never forget what happened to my family, my son, my | :22:37. | :22:53. | |
brother and my dad. Within 12 hours of arriving on holiday, they were | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
murdered and the only protection they had was each other. Words will | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
never explain the devastation of losing my family in such an horrific | :23:04. | :23:11. | |
manner, and every day is a struggle. My thought at the time was I'm going | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
to die and where was my son? We were trying to seek refuge, we didn't | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
know where to go, no one was directing us anywhere. It was just a | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
free for all. That was chaotic too. So once we'd found somewhere to hide | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
we thought we'd be relatively safe until, as you said, people would | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
come to help. People who've got the responsibility, the guard, the | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
police, the National Guard, but they didn't come and unfortunately | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
several minutes went by from the start of it to the point where John | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
was killed. And at the time we were all we did consider ourselves behind | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
the main reception to be in a place of refuge where we were safe but | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
unfortunately that wasn't the case. Unless you've been through a | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
situation like this, there are times where only someone else who has been | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
through that situation sometimes can fully appreciate how you're feeling | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
or what you're going through. People say to me, how do I cope? And I say, | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
well, you know, I'm still a month and I'm thankful for that that I've | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
still got Owen and Owen keeps me alive. The coroner mentioned your | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
youngest son, Owen, and his extraordinary courage. How is he | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
coping? He's doing well, he's an inspiration to us all. I often say | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
if Owen can get up and go to school and do the things that he's doing | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
then I haven't got any reason why I can't. We follow Owen. He's | :24:49. | :24:55. | |
fantastic. Can anything positive come out of what happened on June | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
the 2015? No. We can never bring the people, those 30 people, back. What | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
we have to do is learn to live with that, to try to move on. There's | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
always going to be people out there who want to impose their will, their | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
beliefs on others. We need to get better at protecting and looking at | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
ways in which to safeguard and we can only do that if all the people | :25:27. | :25:35. | |
involved start communicating and working far more closely in | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
partnership. And I will do all I can to try and do my part to make a | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
difference. That was Cheryl Stollery | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
and Suzanne Evans speaking there. we'll be speaking to | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
the Independent's travel editor Simon Calder, and Olivia Leathley, | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
who was on holiday in Tunisia anyone in Britain caught | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
using a mobile phone while driving We'll ask if the rules | :25:59. | :26:10. | |
go far enough. Time now to get the news, | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website | :26:14. | :29:40. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it's back | :29:41. | :29:43. | |
to Dan and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. We'll have the latest news and sport | :29:47. | :29:57. | |
with Sally in just a moment. The former boss of BHS, | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
Sir Philip Green is set to put in ?363 million | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
into its pension fund. We'll speak to the worker | :30:09. | :30:10. | |
who campaigned for the payment. Protecting Scotland's national parks | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
or damaging campers rights. We'll find out about the rules that | :30:15. | :30:17. | |
come into force today designed In England and Wales, | :30:18. | :30:20. | |
children and their parents find out today if they have got | :30:21. | :30:29. | |
into the secondary school of their choice, we'll ask | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
what you can do if you don't get Has provided -- promised a new | :30:33. | :30:59. | |
chapter of American greatness. He has also pledged to tackle illegal | :31:00. | :31:02. | |
immigration and terrorism. We just need the courage to share the dreams | :31:03. | :31:07. | |
that fill our hearts, the bravery to express the hopes in our souls and | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
the confidence to turn those hopes and those dreams into action. From | :31:13. | :31:19. | |
now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our | :31:20. | :31:27. | |
fears. Well, let's get some thoughts from our correspondence, Laura | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
Bicker, who joins us from Washington. The complete change in | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
tone from the President is striking. Donald Trump was swept to power | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
because he was the outsider, because he was unconventional yet this | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
address to Congress was very conventional indeed. Especially | :31:47. | :31:49. | |
considering he was in an environment that is very new to him. This was a | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
one-hour speech which contained ins and highlights those who followed | :31:54. | :31:59. | |
his campaign rallies. There was the phrase America -- make America great | :32:00. | :32:06. | |
again. There was the border war with Mexico and a new outline for an | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
immigration policy. In the past, his talk has been of making sure that | :32:11. | :32:18. | |
bad dudes do not get into the country. The talk in the chamber has | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
been a new immigration policy based on merit system, the likes of Canada | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
and Australia. That was new. He talked on a trillion - dollar | :32:29. | :32:32. | |
investment in infrastructure across the United States. That'll be good | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
news to any of those construction companies and those who want jobs | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
with those companies and yes, a lot of talk about jobs and how he would | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
create them and how he would keep American in America, hiring | :32:45. | :32:52. | |
American. The mantra of America first. When it comes to the speech, | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
there will be much in that for opponents to like. But certainly his | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
political opponents sat stony faced throughout and his calls for unity | :33:02. | :33:02. | |
went completely unhurt. And in a few minutes we'll get | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
reaction to President Trump's address from a former | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
speechwriter to George W Bush. Drivers caught using their phone | :33:12. | :33:13. | |
behind the wheel will face tougher punishments from today in England, | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
Wales and Scotland. Motorists face getting 6 | :33:17. | :33:18. | |
points on your licence Those with less than two years | :33:19. | :33:20. | |
on the road will lose their licence altogether if caught | :33:21. | :33:25. | |
using their mobile just the once. Two women have been charged | :33:26. | :33:35. | |
with the murder of Kim Jong-nam, the half-brother of North Korean | :33:36. | :33:40. | |
dictator Kim Jong-un. The pair, one Vietnamese, | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
one Indonesian, face the death Malaysian police believe they wiped | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
the deadly VX nerve agent on his face just over a fortnight | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
ago in Kula Lumpur airport. The women claim they thought | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
they were taking part The government is facing its first | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
defeat for its Brexit bill Opposition peers will attempt | :33:56. | :33:59. | |
to amend the Article 50 legislation, to protect the rights | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
of EU citizens living in Britain. If this happens, MPs could remove | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
the Lords' proposed changes again when the bill moves back | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
to the House of Commons. Scientists have found | :34:12. | :34:16. | |
evidence of a strong link The study, at Imperial | :34:17. | :34:18. | |
College London, concluded that being obese increased | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
the risk of getting eleven cancers Researchers say maintaining | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
a healthy weight is the single most important way to reduce the risk | :34:27. | :34:30. | |
of cancer after not smoking. Parents and children across England | :34:31. | :34:39. | |
and Wales will find out if they've secured their secondary | :34:40. | :34:43. | |
school of choice today. The Good Schools Guide predicts | :34:44. | :34:45. | |
that 1 in 6 children in England will miss out | :34:46. | :34:49. | |
on their first choice. The problem is expected to be | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
worse than last year, due to an extra 15,000 | :34:53. | :34:55. | |
applications for places - which is said to have been driven | :34:56. | :34:57. | |
by a rising birth rate. Would you like to see a different | :34:58. | :35:14. | |
use for flour? Instead of pancakes? Greek villagers have staged a street | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
battle armed with bags full of it. It's like the tomato one in Spain, | :35:20. | :35:25. | |
but with flour. It is called the flour war. It's a popular event | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
which attracts visitors from across the country. It apparently met the | :35:30. | :35:34. | |
spirits of those who take part. They don't look to me like their spirits | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
have been lifted. They look like they are enjoying themselves. There | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
is nothing wrong with a little bit of flower power. Anyone, anyone, | :35:42. | :35:48. | |
flour power? I spent a beast five seconds working on that. Clearly it | :35:49. | :35:56. | |
is time for sport. A massive game in the championship last night. But | :35:57. | :36:01. | |
I've got a question. If I say the word jammy, do you know what I mean? | :36:02. | :36:07. | |
Lucky. You do. For the first time in my sporting career, I am talking | :36:08. | :36:12. | |
about the Word jammy. A particular goal. That one. | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
The championship title race saw the top two face each other | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
They replace Brighton who led 1-nil before Mohammad Diame's | :36:19. | :36:25. | |
for Newcastle, who are looking to make an instant return | :36:26. | :36:35. | |
Hamilton Academical have moved off the bottom | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
of the Scottish Premiership following a 1-nil win at home | :36:39. | :36:41. | |

when Manchester City host Huddersfield Town in their fifth | :37:13. | :37:15. | |
round replay tonight - it's Live on BBC One. | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
City could only manage a goalless draw | :37:18. | :37:19. | |
with the Championship side two weeks ago. | :37:20. | :37:21. | |
With many Premier League teams fielding weakened sides in this | :37:22. | :37:23. | |
year's competition, Pep Guardiola insists he understands | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
Every competition, we try to win. I know how special it is. And how | :37:26. | :37:43. | |
difficult it is, here or at home, it doesn't matter. And that's why it's | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
important. It is important, the Champions League. Is this gain more | :37:49. | :37:54. | |
important than the other one? No, it's not. A moment 's silence. | :37:55. | :38:05. | |
Exactly. Gave it a little bit extra -- gravitates. Jonathan Joseph has | :38:06. | :38:14. | |
been recalled to the training squad. He was dropped the win against on | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
Sunday. The front rows have been released to play to their clubs this | :38:21. | :38:22. | |

after her red card for this tackle The RFU have created | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
a new Women's Super League to start in September with 10 domestic teams | :38:33. | :38:37. | |
including Wasps and Bristol Ladies. The goal is to help the reigning | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
world champions become the number one ranked team in the world | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
with a multi-million pound There's nothing better than a shiny | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
new car and Lewis Hamilton will be happy with his after continuing | :38:48. | :38:51. | |
to impress on the second day The three-time World Champion | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
completed 66 laps in Barcelona, his fastest time slightly slower | :38:55. | :39:00. | |
than Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen. McLaren continue to | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
struggle with reliability. They managed just 40 laps | :39:04. | :39:04. | |
all day after problems Andy Murray had five weeks off | :39:05. | :39:07. | |
after his early exit There wasn't too much | :39:08. | :39:16. | |
rustiness in his He swept aside the world number 51 | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
Malek Jaziri in the first round. The world number one had a slight | :39:20. | :39:25. | |
wobble in the first set, getting broken, but took it 6-4 | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
and raced away with the second 6-1. Dan Evans is also | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
through to round two. He followed up reaching the fourth | :39:33. | :39:33. | |
round at the Australian Open with a straight sets | :39:34. | :39:37. | |
win over Dustin Brown. Andy Murray has had shingles. | :39:38. | :39:47. | |
Apparently it's absolutely awful. The reason he found out was because | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
he was sitting, having dinner with his family and he said to his | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
mother-in-law, dinner, I have a really terrible rash... On his | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
bottom. It really itchy and it's driving me mad. His mother-in-law | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
said, show it to me. He pulled his shorts down, have a look and she | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
said, that's shingles, you need to get to the doctor. It is really | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
painful. The benefits of a close family. There you go. I am available | :40:15. | :40:16. | |
to check. Don't. President Trump's first month | :40:17. | :40:26. | |
in office has had its moments - spats with the media, | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
a fall out with intelligence advisors and a high-profile court | :40:30. | :40:31. | |
defeat to his controversial travel Overnight, the President addressed | :40:32. | :40:34. | |
Congress for the first time, setting out his plans | :40:35. | :40:36. | |
for the years ahead. In a moment, we'll assess how | :40:37. | :40:39. | |
significant this speech is, and what it tells us | :40:40. | :40:41. | |
about the new government's key First, here's what | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
Mr Trump had to say. We cannot allow a beachhead of | :40:45. | :40:56. | |
terrorism to form inside America. We cannot allow our nation to become a | :40:57. | :41:08. | |
sanctuary for extremists. That is why my administration has been | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
working on improved vetting procedures and we will shortly take | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
new steps to make the nation safe and keep those out who will do us | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
harm. Tonight I am also calling on this Congress to repeal and replace | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
Obamacare. This is a $1 trillion investment in | :41:27. | :41:46. | |
infrastructure of the United States, financed through both public and | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
private capital, creating millions of new jobs. By finally enforcing | :41:51. | :41:59. | |
our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
billions and billions in of dollars and make our communities safer for | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
everyone. We will look back on tonight as when this new chapter of | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
American greatness began. We just need the courage to share the dreams | :42:15. | :42:20. | |
that fill our hearts. The bravery to express the hopes that share our | :42:21. | :42:26. | |
souls and the confidence to turn those hopes and those dreams into | :42:27. | :42:28. | |
action. Anneke Green is a Republican | :42:29. | :42:29. | |
commentator and former speechwriter for George W Bush during his time | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
at the White House. Thank you to talking to us. Was this | :42:33. | :42:46. | |
the new president reaching out? It absolutely was and this is | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
definitely the best speech he has given, definitely as president, if | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
not since he embarked in political life. His supporters are very happy | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
tonight. What was he trying to achieve in the speech? It's not the | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
sort of speech we give intimate detail of policies, it is meant to | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
be more of a broadbrush. Did he do that? He was brought on most things. | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
He did go into more detail on repealing Obamacare and the | :43:14. | :43:18. | |
principles that he wanted to see Congress on in those efforts. The | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
Republicans have said they will repeal and replace it so they are in | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
a bit of a tricky situation. Sunder programme details are popular with | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
people, particularly the ability to purchase insurance if you have a | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
pre-existing condition, which previously was not guaranteed. He | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
does have a number of vocal opponents. I am sure you are more | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
than aware. Those who are not happy with what he was saying make that | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
quite clear. Do you think some of what he said, will it appease any of | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
those or will they not go along with anything that comes out of his | :43:53. | :43:57. | |
mouth? This type of speech is very interesting. He is addressing people | :43:58. | :44:01. | |
who are on his side and people they need more persuading. , most of | :44:02. | :44:08. | |
those who are going to be fissiparous leap of -- opposing him. | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
You will see the theatre play out in some of the clips. He says some | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
Republicans stand up and cheer. Some of them are standing there stony | :44:19. | :44:25. | |
faced. There are some who are very innocuous and bipartisan. Anybody | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
could have cheered and clapped. There are people on the Democratic | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
side who would not even give him that much. The supporters are very | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
happy. I think you cop wished what he was trying to do which is show | :44:37. | :44:41. | |
that he has thought about some of the key legislative pieces the | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
Republicans want to bring forward in the next coming days. Some analysts | :44:46. | :44:50. | |
are saying that it was intimated he might soften its stance on | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
immigration. Did you spot that yourself? I did not see him | :44:55. | :45:00. | |
softening it. He announced the creation of a new office to | :45:01. | :45:05. | |
highlight the victims of crime by illegal immigrants in the United | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
States and that is something to show is still very serious. It did come | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
out of the meeting. He could be open to contact Ash comprehensive | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
immigration reform which could include -- include a path to | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
legalisation for those who have committed crimes. He is not pursuing | :45:25. | :45:26. | |
that right now. Later on we will be speaking to | :45:27. | :45:33. | |
Professor Scott Lucas to get his take on Donald Trump 's first | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
significant speech. I want to see that show you something beautiful. | :45:39. | :45:44. | |
Look at this. The Bonnie, Bonnie Banks. We are going to be in Loch | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
Lomond later because there is a ban on wild camping but you can see why | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
people might want to pitch their tents near that. The tents. Anyway. | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
The tent. Carol. Good morning. It is stunning, the temperature is | :45:59. | :46:12. | |
-2, if you're on an early morning walk, wrapped up warmly. On the | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
south coast, seven or eight, elsewhere just above freezing and we | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
are looking at a morning of sunshine and showers. | :46:20. | :46:21. | |
For some we have some rain, courtesy of this weather front coming from | :46:22. | :46:26. | |
the south-west moving north and east. Further north we have some | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
showers and some will be wintry, a real peppering in the north of | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
Scotland and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and a fair bit of | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
sunshine. Wintry showers in the Southern Uplands and in Northern | :46:40. | :46:42. | |
Ireland, your showers are rain showers with some sleet. Similar in | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
the north of England. A lot of dry weather across both England and | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
Wales this morning, a lot of sunshine as well but still the risk | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
of ice. Then we run into the rain coming in across the Isles of | :46:55. | :46:58. | |
Scilly, Cornwall and pushing across Devon towards Somerset and the | :46:59. | :47:01. | |
Channel Islands. Through the course of the day that will continue going | :47:02. | :47:06. | |
east and north and it will be breezy around it as well but move away from | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
that and not a bad day for the first day of spring. It's also Ash | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
Wednesday, the first day of Lent and Saint Davids Day so a lot going on | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
today. A lot of dry weather, feeling cool as we go further north but | :47:21. | :47:23. | |
temperatures back into double figures as we go to the south-east. | :47:24. | :47:29. | |
Later on in the afternoon the wind really starts to strengthen and | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
especially so in parts of England and Wales. As well as that, we see | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
some rain and some hill snow. It is going to be windy but around 6pm the | :47:39. | :47:44. | |
wind will strengthen from the south-west, we're looking at gales | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
and the wind will transfer from southern parts of England and Wales. | :47:49. | :47:51. | |
At the same time we have this band of rain moving north and as it | :47:52. | :47:56. | |
engages with the cold air we see some snow, mostly on the hills but | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
also at lower levels in the Midlands, north England and the | :48:02. | :48:04. | |
south of Northern Ireland but the wind will be a feature. Gusts in | :48:05. | :48:11. | |
land of maybe 55 and 60 mph. Around the coast, 60-70 mph. That's the | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
kind of wind speed that will take down branches of trees, some debris | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
moving around and if you're a light vehicle or high sided, take extra | :48:22. | :48:24. | |
care but largely it will be later evening and overnight. North of that | :48:25. | :48:32. | |
it will be dry and cold and the risk of ice and damp surfaces. Tomorrow | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
morning early it will be windy but quickly the wind will abate a touch | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
but that windy day will continue. A fine day for many in England and | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
Wales with some sunshine but still some rain coming in across Northern | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
Ireland, north Wales and eventually north-west England as well. | :48:51. | :48:52. | |
As you say, lots to watch out for, Carol. | :48:53. | :48:59. | |
Some good news for BHS workers? A long-running campaign to get Philip | :49:00. | :49:07. | |
Green to plug the black hole in the pensions. | :49:08. | :49:07. | |
Philip Green has agreed to pay ?363m to plug a black hole in the pension | :49:08. | :49:11. | |
scheme after the firm collapsed last year. | :49:12. | :49:13. | |
pension that they were originally promised. | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
Subsequent payments still won't be as generous, | :49:17. | :49:18. | |
but on average former workers will get around 88% | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
Philip Green was criticised for making millions out | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
of the company, while the hole in its pension fund got bigger. | :49:27. | :49:34. | |
Lin MacMillan is a former BHS worker and launched the Sell the Yachts | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
She joins me now from our Edinburgh newsroom. | :49:39. | :49:46. | |
Good morning to you. As I outlined there, some good news in the sense | :49:47. | :49:53. | |
that you will get more than you're expecting under the alternative | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
scheme but it's still not everything, is it? It's not as bad | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
as it might have been but it's not as good as it should have been. | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
You're in a position where you hope you can get that money, Philip Green | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
putting the money into the pension pot, did you expect to get to this | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
position? I always hoped we would but it has dragged on for so long | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
that we were beginning to worry nothing would ever be resolved. It's | :50:19. | :50:22. | |
a big relief I'm sure too many people today to know that we are | :50:23. | :50:25. | |
going forward with a positive outcome. Tell us your story, you | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
worked at BHS for just over ten years and you started roaring your | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
pension but then all of that and the problems when the firm went bust | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
meant you couldn't guarantee the money you put in? That's right and | :50:39. | :50:44. | |
you have to remember a pension is in effect a deferred salary you have | :50:45. | :50:47. | |
contributed to over the years you have worked for a company. I felt it | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
was appalling that people were going to be denied some of what they had | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
earned for the time they had worked at BHS. What will this deal work for | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
you now -- mean for you now? I think from what I've read it will mean my | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
pension will be subject to a 1.8% increase per annum, which will help | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
so long as inflation stays at low levels. Obviously if inflation goes | :51:15. | :51:20. | |
up then it will reduce the value of the pension in the future. | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
Absolutely. It's the inflation issue that's the concern and I mentioned | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
it in the introduction, on average most BHS pensioners will get 88% | :51:30. | :51:33. | |
because maybe the future income will be eroded by inflation. Yes. What | :51:34. | :51:40. | |
would you like to see done differently? It's been a | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
long-running campaign and a lot of pressure on Philip Green to pay this | :51:44. | :51:47. | |
money, if we were to do this again how would it be different? I would | :51:48. | :51:51. | |
have hoped it would never happen in the first place because when Philip | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
Green bought BHS in 2000, the pension scheme was in a very healthy | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
state and it only went into deficit during the years he owned the | :52:01. | :52:03. | |
company. I think the government needs to take measures to ensure | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
that this sort of thing doesn't happen in other companies in the | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
future. OK, really good to talk to you. Lin MacMillan, former BHS | :52:13. | :52:19. | |
worker who launched the campaign to have Philip Green paid back into the | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
pension fund -- pay. Philip Green said the settlement follows lengthy | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
complex discussions with the pensions regulator and he said he is | :52:28. | :52:30. | |
satisfied a solution has been offered. More from the after 7am. | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
Good news for them. Thank you very much. | :52:36. | :52:36. | |
Campers are set to be told to pack up their tents if they pitch them | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
As of today, new rules come into force to protect the famous | :52:41. | :52:45. | |
There are plenty of official campsites but if you are caught wild | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
Loch Lomond, the largest inland body of water in Britain. Drawing in | :52:50. | :53:00. | |
millions of visitors every year. Without doubt one of the jewels in | :53:01. | :53:05. | |
the crown of Scotland's natural Heritage. These pictures, holiday | :53:06. | :53:11. | |
snaps from hell you might call them, record the damage that has been done | :53:12. | :53:16. | |
in previous years. Which is why the park authority wants to bring in by | :53:17. | :53:22. | |
laws which will control wild camping in the busiest areas. This is a kind | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
of typical example of people coming along and trying to get themselves | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
some firewood that's maybe a bit bigger than their able to tackle. | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
The sheer volume of folk can end up being damaging in itself and if you | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
mix that with antisocial behaviour then sites can be degraded quite | :53:41. | :53:47. | |
fast. You've got some of the most wonderful landscapes you can imagine | :53:48. | :53:50. | |
here and you can see why people come to enjoy it, we want the sites to | :53:51. | :53:54. | |
match that while they're here. From today anyone wild camping in managed | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
areas along the shores of the most popular lochs within the park could | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
face a fine of ?500 and a criminal record. Wild camping enthusiasts see | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
that as a breach of Scotland's legal right to roam. They believe the park | :54:09. | :54:13. | |
authority should focus on educating people about respecting the | :54:14. | :54:19. | |
countryside. There are things that the Rangers and the authorities can | :54:20. | :54:22. | |
do to clampdown on this. They already can find people for | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
littering, for antisocial behaviour. There's no need to create this bylaw | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
which criminalises people who aren't doing it in the wrong way to. And | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
let's be honest, it is a small mob of people and we're almost letting | :54:37. | :54:39. | |
them win. And with the new restrictions there could be a lot of | :54:40. | :54:44. | |
disappointed campers this summer. The idea of Scotland when I first | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
came here was you could camp anywhere, nowhere to where you are, | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
that was the law and you could camp. You could come up here the fact it | :54:53. | :55:00. | |
is untented, that's why people come to Scotland. If it's a designated | :55:01. | :55:04. | |
area, they can still come and camp and enjoy it but so can everyone | :55:05. | :55:08. | |
else. People can come with animals and there's no rubbish left. This is | :55:09. | :55:15. | |
the only location on the east side of Loch Lomond were wild camping | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
will be permitted. The question is, will people know about these new | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
controls and how strictly are they going to be enforced? The new bylaws | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
will be reviewed in three years. So, for the wild campers, this is a | :55:30. | :55:34. | |
fight that's not over yet. James Shaw, BBC News, on the banks of Loch | :55:35. | :55:37. | |

gorgeous. Carol will have the forecast for us later as well. | :55:51. | :55:52. | |

reporting on the argument between campers and the authority which | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
wants to control them. What a beautiful morning there. What about | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
the rest of us? For many of us, a beautiful start to the day. There is | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
some sunshine around, the risk of ice and a peppering of showers. We | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
have got some rain coming in from the south-west, pushing north | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
through the day and later, some very strong winds. More details on 15 | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
minutes. President Trump has promised | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
a new chapter of American greatness in his first | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
speech to Congress. He appealed for unity, | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
saying the time for trivial In an hour-long speech, | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
he promised extra spending the military and pledged to tackle | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
illegal immigration and terrorism. Our correspondent Laura Bicker has | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
this report from Washington Donald Trump 's trip to Congress | :02:05. | :02:19. | |
gave them a few last moments to practise his speech. The President | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
of the United States. This platform is new territory for this political | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
outsider. Donald Trump set out his vision with emphasis on border | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
control. We must restore integrity and the rule of law at our borders. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
For that reason we will soon begin the construction of a great, great | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
Wall along our southern border. He softened his tone on immigration, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
talking of reform and a new merit- based system. I'm going to bring | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
back millions of jobs, protecting our workers also means reforming our | :02:59. | :03:07. | |
system of legal immigration. The longest and most bipartisan applause | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
of the night was saved for the widow of a Navy SEAL. And Ryan is looking | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
down right now, you know that, and is very happy because I think he | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
just broke a record. There was much in the speech for Democrats to like. | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
A trillion- dollar investment in infrastructure, talk of paid family | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
leave but most stayed stony faced throughout. We all bleed the same | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
blood, we all salute the same great American flag. And we all are made | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
by the same God. This was the most presidential power of Donald Trump | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
's presidency and there will be some in his party breathing a sigh of | :03:58. | :03:58. | |
relief. Our correspondent Laura Bicker joins | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
us now from Washington. A busy night as well. Probably the | :04:02. | :04:14. | |
most presidential the Donald Trump has been? Was it one of those | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
occasions where he felt the need to reach out and was his successful in | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
doing so? It has been a rocky first month. And the unconventional | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
approach works with what he calls his people but perhaps it wasn't | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
going to work with politicians. A number within his own party have | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
been worried, been sceptical about exactly what Donald Trump was going | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
to do and how he would deliver. So when he is addressing Congress, | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
these are the people who are going to help sweep his agenda through. He | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
needs his friends there. And that is perhaps why he has taken the | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
decision to address Congress in this presidential tone. He looks like the | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
man who is in charge to full -- in charge. There was much for | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
Republicans to like. He talked about the repealing of so-called | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act and President Trump has said it's | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
not working, insurance payments are going up and it's just not working | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
for the American people. So he is calling on Congress to repeal and | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
replace it but so far there is no plan to replace it and then there is | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
that $1 trillion infrastructure plan which will go down well for States | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
looking for construction jobs but there is no clear detail on how it | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
is going to be paid for. And there were a number of calls for unity. | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Donald Trump has been one of the most divisive presidents so far. He | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
points to a number of Democrats seats, hoping to get some response | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
but certainly, in that speech alone, his call for unity fell on deaf | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
ears. Thank you, law. An important address overnight. More | :05:59. | :05:59. | |
announcements overnight. Drivers caught using their phone | :06:00. | :06:05. | |

points on their licence. It will mean newly qualified drivers | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
with less than two years on the road face losing | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
their licence if caught sending Our correspondent, Robert Hall, | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
joined one police patrol in Cambridgeshire as it | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
stopped offenders. On a busy main road | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
in Cambridgeshire, police cameras The evidence from around | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
the UK is crystal clear, we've been warned but we | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
simply aren't listening. The most recent report from the RAC | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
found 31% of drivers admit to using a hand-held phone | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
at the wheel compared with 8% She had it held in both hands, | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
texting or doing whatever This driver was spotted | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
holding her phone to plot a route. You had your phone in both hands | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
on top of your steering wheel. You may or may not be aware | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
it is going to change. ?200 fine and no option of any sort | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
of education course at all. It's just how she was using her | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
phone that makes it an offence. It's more than just | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
making a phone call. Further up the road, | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
a two-minute call will have serious In the 20 odd years I've been | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
on the road I've seen people with laptops, I've seen phone in one | :07:21. | :07:30. | |
hand, laptop in the other, That what just happened there, | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
minor indiscretion in relation Unfortunately your | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
mum's been killed. Police operations will now run | :07:39. | :07:48. | |
alongside a media campaign centred Higher penalties are only part | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
of the answer, in the end we must all be conscious of | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
the lives we put at risk. There's nothing that is so important | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
that it cannot wait. Don't use your phone | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
while you're driving. Robert Hall, BBC News, | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
Cambridgeshire. We will be talking about that | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
at length a little bit later. Two women have appeared in court | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
in Malaysia charged with murdering the half brother of the North Korean | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
leader, Kim Jong-un. The suspects are accused | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
of killing him with the nerve agent VX in Kuala Lumpur | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
airport a fortnight ago. Let's get the latest from our Korea | :08:25. | :08:26. | |
correspondent Steve Evans in Seoul. Steve, I would imagine | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
there was strict security Huge security. Heavily armed police, | :08:31. | :08:46. | |
full body armour, helmets, visors, masks, the whole thing. The two | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
women were led in separately. They stood side-by-side in the charge was | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
read to them that they murdered a North Korean citizen in Kuala Lumpur | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
airport on February 13. One of them nodded that she understood the | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
charge. The other said she understood the charge but that she | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
was not guilty. That was not a formal plea. This was simply a | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
hearing to identify them and to read the charge to them. They have set in | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
the past that they thought they were taking part in some kind of prank. | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
Perhaps for a TV reality show. It's clear that the Malaysia authorities | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
don't buy that. They brought the charge which means they think the | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
women knew that what they were handling was pretty deadly stuff. | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Steve Evans, thank you very much indeed. | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
The Government faces the prospect of its first defeat over the Brexit | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
Opposition peers want an amendment to protect the rights | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
Our political correspondent Carole Walker is in Westminster. | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
if the government loses this vote, what happens next? | :09:50. | :09:58. | |
It goes back to the Commons. It looks as if opposition peers and a | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
few Tories will infect the first defeat on the government over its | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
Brexit bill today. They want to guarantee the rights of those 3 | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
million EU citizens in the UK. That is despite the fact that the Home | :10:14. | :10:23. | |
Secretary, Amber Rudd, has written to peers saying it is a priority | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
that the government but only as part of a wider deal which ensures the | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
rights of more than a million British citizens in other EU | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
countries. If defeated, it goes back to the Commons which could be | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
embarrassing for the government but ministers will be hopeful they can | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
overturn that defeat. It then has to go back to the Lords but the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
expectation is that at that stage, the Lords will back down. The | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
government should be able to trigger Article 50 but this will be a real | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
reminder of the Parliamentary battles ahead. | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
Today is a very important one for parents and children | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
across England and Wales who will find out if they've | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
secured their secondary school of choice. | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
The Good Schools Guide predicts that 1 in 6 children | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
in England will miss out on their first choice. | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
The problem is expected to be worse than last year, | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
due to an extra 15,000 applications for places - | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
which is said to have been driven by a rising birth rate. | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
Now you may have flipped a few pancakes yesterday - | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
but how about this for an epic Shrove Tuesday challenge? | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
This is the final lap of the pancake race at | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
As you can see, we have an excellent view from the perspective | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
of the Dean, the Very Reverend Peter Atkinson, | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
as he completes a number of obstacles whilst | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
They do the race every year, but it was the first time they'd | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
strapped a camera to one of the participants! | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
The teams were made up of clergy, vergers and choristers - | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
all of whom were cheered across the line by some | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
This is the winning moment of the Dean crossing the line. Berridge 's, | :11:56. | :12:09. | |
beautiful scenes the cathedral. This is BBC Breakfast. | :12:10. | :12:10. | |
Seeing someone using their mobile phone while they are driving has | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
As of today, those that do might want to think again. | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
That's because they now face tougher punishments. | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
(ANI 2) The fine in England, Scotland and Wales goes | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
New drivers with less than two years on the road face | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
losing their licence if they are caught sending | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
According to the latest figures, 22 people were killed | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
and 99 were seriously injured in accidents on Britain's roads | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
in 2015 where a motorist using a mobile was a contributory factor. | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
Edmund King from the AA joins us now from our London newsroom. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
Thank you for joining us. The figures are really start. This is | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
why the rules have changed, isn't it? Yes, good morning. It is a bit | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
of an epidemic at the moment certainly from our surveys. AA | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
members, 70%, say they see other drivers on the burdens on most or | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
indeed all journeys and it still hasn't got that stigma the same as | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
drink-driving has. You need three elements, new legislation. We are | :13:25. | :13:43. | |
launching a hard hitting out. Pulling people over seven Ashley | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
think there is a risk of getting caught. In a way drink drive | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
campaigns have been successful at the last ten, 20 years. Do you think | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
there are other resources in place to do that? The police have | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
certainly committed to certain targeted campaigns. There was one in | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
November, one in January and there is a new week-long campaign starting | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
today. They are using unmarked police cars. There are trucks, so | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
they can set up higher than drivers. That will start to get the message | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
across. I don't think we can rely entirely on the police. Drivers have | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
to take some responsibility themselves and that is where we | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
really need to change attitudes. Far too many people are almost addicted | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
to their phones. In our surveys, 50% of younger drivers said they | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
couldn't bear to turn their phone often get in the car. 21% of the | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
general driving population. We are supporting a campaign with the | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
Department of Transport with stickers that you can put on your | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
glovebox and its renaming your glovebox a phone box. And all AA | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
driving instructors will be telling their pupils the first lesson, the | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
first thing they should do is turn up the phone and put it in the | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
glovebox. If we can start with education, we can get more police | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
enforcement and we can begin to change attitudes towards what really | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
is a killer on the roads. That is talk about education. You can't use | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
your phone, can you? You are trying to use it as a satellite navigator. | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
The rules are clear, you're not allowed to have the phone in your | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
hand and even if you're adjusting the phone for a sat nav, if it's | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
basically more than one push of one button with a finger at the police | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
can take action. Lots of people don't realise, even | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
if you're stuck at traffic lights in traffic, if the phone is in your | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
hand it is an offence and you will get six penalty points and the ?200 | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
fine. Really the best thing is to put it out of the way, put it in the | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
glove box, turn it off and then you won't be tempted. What did we do | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
before mobile phones? It wasn't a matter of life or death whether we | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
should see the latest text or tweet. So we got to readjust our addiction | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
to the phones and start turning them off. With the young drivers, the | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
rules are slightly different because their licence will be revoked? | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
Indeed. This is pretty serious. If you're a young driver, within two | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
years of passing your test, if you get caught doing one text at the | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
traffic lights you will lose your license and more than that you will | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
actually have to retake your test before you get your license back. I | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
think it's worth thinking about because a lot of young drivers, | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
their jobs may depend on being able to drive, it is an expense to retake | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
the test. Even if the safety element is on top of their mind, think about | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
the personal element at and how it will affect you. We will see people | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
losing their jobs as a result of getting driving bans. It's a simple | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
thing to turn the phone off but we have to educate ourselves to do | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
that. I should say new drivers, they don't necessarily have to be young. | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
We will be looking at that story through the morning. Let us know | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
what you think about mobile phones and driving. | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
Carol has the weather and we've seen beautiful footage from Loch Lomond | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
and that's a gorgeous picture. It is lovely and it's indicative of | :17:33. | :17:40. | |
the skies through many parts of the country this morning. A fair bit of | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
sunshine and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces but there are | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
also showers and in addition we have a weather front from the south-west | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
and that will move northwards and east through the day, bringing rain | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
with it. Some wintry showers peppering Northern Scotland, they | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
will be on and off through the day but a lot of dry weather. We've got | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
some wintry showers in the Southern Uplands. Rain showers in Northern | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Ireland but a lot of dry and brighter weather and in northern | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
England, a similar story, a few showers, most seeing them and we | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
have the sunshine as well. Here in Northern Ireland and of west Wales, | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
ice on untreated surfaces. Coming south, a beautiful start in Wales. | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
We already have the rain through the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall, Devon, | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
Somerset and the Channel Islands at an through the day it will continue | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
to move towards Ken, East Anglia and Wales -- and through. -- Kent. More | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
cloud ahead of it as it progresses towards Northern Ireland. For many | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
it will be a fine and sunny first start of the day to the | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
meteorological spring. Temperatures still maybe, 6-8, in the south, | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
already double figures. Behind this band of rain things start to change | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
because as we head through the evening and especially overnight, | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
the wind is going to strengthen. Some gales around and there will be | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
some rain and some hill snow. The wind strengthens through the | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
afternoon. By around tea we'll be looking at gales through the | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
south-west and for the rest of the evening and overnight. Even inland | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
through southern England, the Midlands, Wales, East Anglia, gusts | :19:18. | :19:25. | |
are twinned 50 and 60 mph and around the coasts, 60-70 mph. When you see | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
those levels you could see degree moving around, small branches on the | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
roads and small trees uprooted but tricky travelling conditions for | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
high sided vehicles and light vehicles. At the same time a band of | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
rain is migrating northwards, as it gets into the cold air in north | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
Wales, parts of the Midlands, northern England and the south of | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
nor the Nile and it will turn to snow on high ground but we could see | :19:50. | :19:58. | |
a spell of that at lower levels as well -- south of Northern Ireland. A | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
cold night, frosty and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Tomorrow | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
we start windy in the south but the wind will quickly ease down. Still a | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
windy day but we won't have the gales, a lot of dry weather but rain | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
coming in later in the day from the west. Carol, thank you very much. | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
Asked for your comments about -- we asked for your comments. Thinking of | :20:17. | :20:28. | |
using it as a sat nav, you can have it mounted, but if you touch it you | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
could get six points on your license. More on that later and | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
another interview. Hello, Ben. I'm not touching my phone, it's not | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
here for once! Finally some good news | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
for former BHS workers. Philip Green has agreed to pay ?363m | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
to plug a black hole in the BHS pension scheme after the firm | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
collapsed last year. On average former workers will get | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
around 88% of their pension. Philip Green was criticised | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
for making millions out of the company, while the hole | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
in its pension fund got bigger. We'll still be able | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
to use our mobile phones without paying extra charges | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
when travelling in Europe, The boss of Vodafone says charging | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
British travellers differently is not very logical and UK phone | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
firms would still be part The European Commission will scrap | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
so-called roaming charges Searches for flights | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
to America have fallen sharply according to figures | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
from the travel firm Kayak. It says there's been a 58% fall | :21:34. | :21:45. | |
in searches for flights to Orlando, down 52% to Miami and Las Vegas | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
enquiries are down 36%. The study says hotel prices | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
are also down as a result with the cost of a hotel stay | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
in New York 32% cheaper. It doesn't take account | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
however of weak sterling which means our pound | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
doesn't go as far. More from me in about half an hour. | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
See you then, thank you very much. Relatives of the British victims | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
of a terror attack in Tunisia A coroner ruled that | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
the holiday-makers were unlawfully killed by an Islamist gunman | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
in the resort of Sousse He rejected a finding of neglect | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
against the travel firm. Suzanne Evans lost her eldest son, | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
brother and father. Cheryl Stollery saw her husband | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
John killed next to her. Both Suzanne and Cheryl have been | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
speaking to our correspondent, I hope people will never forget | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
what happened to my family, Within 12 hours of arriving | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
on holiday, they were murdered and the only protection | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
they had was each other. Words will never explain | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
the devastation of losing my family in such an horrific manner, | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
and every day is a struggle. My thought at the time was I'm | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
going to die and where was my son? We were trying to seek refuge, | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
we didn't know where to go, So once we'd found somewhere to hide | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
we thought we'd be relatively safe until, as you say, people | :23:13. | :23:29. | |
would come to help. The people who've got | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
the responsibility, the guard, the police, the National Guard, | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
but they didn't come and unfortunately several minutes | :23:37. | :23:38. | |
went by from the start of it And at the time we were all we did | :23:39. | :23:41. | |
consider ourselves behind the main reception to be in a place of refuge | :23:42. | :23:52. | |
where we were safe but unfortunately Unless you've been through | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
a situation like this, there are times where only someone | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
else who has been through that situation sometimes can fully | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
appreciate how you're feeling And I say, well, you know, | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
I'm still a month and I'm thankful for that that I've still got Owen | :24:06. | :24:15. | |
and Owen keeps me alive. The coroner mentioned | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
your youngest son, Owen, He's doing well, he's | :24:21. | :24:22. | |
an inspiration to us all. I often say if Owen can get up | :24:23. | :24:34. | |
and go to school and do the things that he's doing then I haven't got | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
any reason why I can't. Can anything positive come out | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
of what happened on June the 2015? We can never bring the people, | :24:43. | :24:51. | |
those 30 people, back. What we have to do is learn to live | :24:52. | :25:02. | |
with that, to try to move on. There's always going to be people | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
out there who want to impose We need to get better | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
at protecting and looking at ways in which to safeguard and we can | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
only do that if all the people involved start communicating | :25:18. | :25:29. | |
and working far more And I will do all I can to try | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
and do my part to make a difference. That was Cheryl Stollery | :25:32. | :25:43. | |
and Suzanne Evans speaking there. we'll be speaking to | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
Olivia Leathley, who was on holiday in Tunisia at the time | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
of the attack. Protecting Scotland's national parks | :25:51. | :25:59. | |
or damaging campers rights. New rules come into force today | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
designed to tame wild camping. Good morning. Looking around us now | :26:06. | :26:17. | |
it is no wonder so many people want to come here. These ancient oak | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
woodlands on the shores of the loch and away to the south the wooded | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
islands in the distance. That popularity is causing a row between | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
wild campers and the Park authority that wants to control them, | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
threatens there could be prosecuted and fined if they break new | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
revelations. Much more on that later but now time for the news, travel | :26:42. | :30:03. | |
it is exactly 730. Let's bring you up-to-date with some of the main | :30:04. | :30:22. | |
use. In what is being regarded | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
as his most presidential speech so far, Donald Trump has promised | :30:26. | :30:27. | |
a new chapter of American greatness in his | :30:28. | :30:30. | |
address to Congress. He also appealed for unity, | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
saying the time for "trivial In an hour-long speech, | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
he promised extra spending the military and pledged to tackle | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
illegal immigration and terrorism. Later we'll be getting more reaction | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
and analysis on President Trump's The we just need the courage to | :30:42. | :30:51. | |
share the vision in our hearts, the bravery to accept the hopes that | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
share our souls on the confidence to turn those hopes and dreams into | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
action. From now on, America will be empowered by our aspirations, not | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
burdened by our fears. Later we'll be getting more reaction | :31:05. | :31:07. | |
and analysis on President Trump's address, and what it could tell us | :31:08. | :31:10. | |
about his future in the White House Drivers caught using their phone | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
behind the wheel will face tougher punishments from today in England, | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
Wales and Scotland. Motorists face getting 6 | :31:19. | :31:22. | |
points on their licence Those with less than two years | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
on the road will lose their licence altogether if they are caught | :31:28. | :31:32. | |

to amend the article 50 legislation, to protect the rights of EU | :32:08. | :32:12. | |

the Lords' proposed changes again when the bill moves back | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
to the House of Commons. Scientists have found | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
evidence of a strong link The study, at Imperial College | :32:25. | :32:26. | |
London, concluded that being obese increased the risk of getting eleven | :32:27. | :32:32. | |
cancers including stomach, Researchers say maintaining | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
a healthy weight is the single most important way to reduce the risk | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
of cancer after not smoking. Today is a very important one | :32:41. | :32:49. | |
for parents and children across England and Wales | :32:50. | :32:51. | |
who will find out if they've secured their secondary | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
school of choice. The Good Schools Guide predicts that | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
1 in 6 children in England will miss The problem is expected to be | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
worse than last year, due to an extra 15,000 | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
applications for places - which is said to have been driven | :33:05. | :33:06. | |

It is supposed to lift the spirits of those who take part. | :33:38. | :33:44. | |
I used a bit of flour power about one hour ago and it went down very | :33:45. | :33:51. | |
badly so I will not do it again. Good. I'm glad it didn't rain as | :33:52. | :33:55. | |
well. Can you imagine the clean-up operation? It will take a while to | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
get rid of all that. It is a very British response. Who will clean | :34:01. | :34:06. | |
that up? Oh! I am over here. Did I confuse you all by moving? Sorry | :34:07. | :34:13. | |
about that. How did I do that? Really clever. A brilliant night in | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
Newcastle. They have replaced Bright at the top of the league. A really | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
great night for Benitez. The championship title race. He went for | :34:25. | :34:31. | |
it and it paid off. He went to Britain that is why they did it. | :34:32. | :34:37. | |
Brighton and Newcastle face each other. | :34:38. | :34:41. | |

year's competition, Pep Guardiola insists he understands | :35:44. | :35:45. | |
And how difficult it is, here or at home, it doesn't matter. | :35:46. | :36:00. | |
It is important, the Champions League. | :36:01. | :36:04. | |
Is this game more important than the other one? | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
After missing England's victory against Italy, | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
centre Jonathan Joseph has been recalled to their Six Nations | :36:12. | :36:14. | |

The goal is to help the reigning world champions become the number | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
one ranked team in the world with a multi-million pound | :36:48. | :36:50. | |
There's nothing better than a shiny new car and Lewis Hamilton will be | :36:51. | :36:59. | |
happy with his after continuing to impress on the second day | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
The 3-time World Champion completed 66 laps in Barcelona - | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
his fastest time slightly slower than Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen. | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
McLaren continue to struggle with reliability. | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
They managed just 40 laps all day after problems with their Honda | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
Andy Murray had five weeks off after his early exit | :37:15. | :37:20. | |

He swept aside Malek Jaziri in the first round. | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
He had a little wobble in the first set, but took it 6-4 and raced away | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
Dan Evans is also through to round two. He followed up reaching the | :37:35. | :37:51. | |
fourth round at the Australian Open with a straight sets win over Dustin | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
Brown. I talked about Lewis Hamilton. He worked up and put on | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
Twitter and said after yesterday's twisting -- testing, he feels | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
incredibly positive and he hopes that tweet spreads the positivity | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
over the world. He wants to share that positivity with everybody. | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
Positive use of social media. I can feel that way the positivity | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
happening. Not in any way cynical. I just ruined that. | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
The anxious wait for parents and children across England | :38:21. | :38:22. | |
and Wales will end today when they find out if they've | :38:23. | :38:25. | |
secured a place at their secondary school of their choice. | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
For some, there will be relief, for others, | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
finding out which school they have a place at | :38:31. | :38:32. | |
The Good Schools Guide predicts that 1 in 6 children | :38:33. | :38:36. | |
in England will miss out on their first choice of school. | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
The problem is expected to be worse than last year, | :38:40. | :38:42. | |
due to an extra 15,000 applications for secondary school places. | :38:43. | :38:44. | |
And according to the charity Teach First, | :38:45. | :38:46. | |
poorer pupils are 25% less likely to attend outstanding schools. | :38:47. | :38:53. | |
We're now joined by Fi Newsham and her son Zac, who has just found | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
out which secondary school he'll attend in September. | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
Is is it good or bad news? It's great news, first choice. That's | :39:03. | :39:16. | |
fantastic, great news. John is the director of the good schools guide. | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
Bernadette, obviously delighted but not everybody would have done. That | :39:20. | :39:27. | |
one in six figure, it masks a situation which will be worse. In | :39:28. | :39:31. | |
London, Birmingham, 30% of people will not get the place they want. | :39:32. | :39:38. | |
Talk is that the process. You've got in ANZAC is going to the school you | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
want but how stressful was the process? You weren't expecting Zac | :39:43. | :39:50. | |
to get the first choice. On the application, you need to choose | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
three schools. First, second and third choice. The first choice | :39:55. | :39:59. | |
school was heavily oversubscribed. It seemed unlikely to us that we | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
were going to get the first choice school so it was kind of stressful. | :40:04. | :40:08. | |
While we put to other schools down, we didn't want to go to either of | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
them so it was a waiting game. What has it been like for you, Zac? Has | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
it been a concern for you? It has, yes. It's been kind of strange | :40:20. | :40:27. | |
because I have been worried that I might not get it but a kind of knew | :40:28. | :40:33. | |
that I was going to get it. More confident than your mum. When you | :40:34. | :40:39. | |
make the choice is, you talk about your first choice school. Why was | :40:40. | :40:46. | |
that a first choice? Two reasons. Academically the best and also all | :40:47. | :40:49. | |
of his friends and peer group will be trying to go to that school. If | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
you come from a very small village school, it's quite a small high | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
school as well. We wanted him to follow through with that education. | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
We didn't think a massive school would be right to him. Loads of | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
people getting contact on this one. Jenny says, such a stressful time. | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
Less so but the kids but whatever happens, most adapt brilliantly to | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
their new school. A lot of people are saying, Bernadette, it is | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
getting worse. Surely the government could do something to alleviate this | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
situation? You would think. Thing is, they fail to plan. We knew 11 | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
years ago how many children were going to require school places. | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
There is a policy where local authorities no longer have the right | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
to build schools in their areas where they have a need and it's been | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
open to the free market. This is meant, for example, last year, there | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
was a preschool built in Bedford. 99% of people in Bedford last year | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
got the place they wanted. There was not need to build a school there. In | :41:54. | :42:00. | |
other areas, there are other big conurbations, Sheffield, Leicester, | :42:01. | :42:03. | |
the granting of places for the number of -- there are not enough | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
places for children there. It makes it difficult. There is an appeal | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
system. Is it work -- worth going through it? You need to present an | :42:13. | :42:17. | |
exceptional case and it's difficult to predict individual success. | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
Overall, about 22% success rate but that can vary. One school might prop | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
30 places and another, one place. You're entitled to appeal to all the | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
schools you put on your application form. It's free. You don't need a | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
lawyer. It is designed to be done by lay people. If you are struggling | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
with it, you can come to us and talk through the process but it's | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
certainly worth a shot. Can I check with the Bernadette. If they have | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
got a place at a school but not the first choice, should they accept the | :42:51. | :42:53. | |
place and then appeal? What is the best way to do it? You must accept | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
that place. The local authority only has to give you a school place. | :43:00. | :43:21. | |
There is no requirement for them to give you the place you want. If you | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
don't accept that place, you are out of the system and they have no | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
obligation to you and you are in a very poor position. Accept the place | :43:31. | :43:33. | |
you have been offered this morning and go on an appeal to the schools | :43:34. | :43:37. | |
you want or go on the waiting lists and if you get a school you prefer, | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
you give up the place you have been offered already. Zak comedy no cure | :43:43. | :43:45. | |
friends have gotten in? As far as I am aware, only one or two of them | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
have actually seen it. It is important, isn't it, to be with your | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
friends? Does the fact that Zak has made his first choice, is it easier | :43:54. | :43:57. | |
for your sister? I wouldn't have thought so because she is one years | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
old. A long time to go. Immediately, you come upon the priority list | :44:01. | :44:07. | |
though. Thank you so much. Say hello to your little sister as well. Thank | :44:08. | :44:12. | |
you very much Bernadette as well. Can I show you this lovely shot of | :44:13. | :44:18. | |
Loch Lomond? Go on. But, that is great. She wants Loch Lomond, she | :44:19. | :44:24. | |
gets Loch Lomond. It is so beautiful bear. It is lovely watching those | :44:25. | :44:27. | |
colours. That is gorgeous. can show us with a bit of St David's | :44:28. | :44:34. | |
Day in the background. If you're celebrating today, have a | :44:35. | :44:45. | |
lovely day. A chilly start not just around Loch Lomond but across the | :44:46. | :44:48. | |
border away from the south coast. The risk of ice on untreated | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
surfaces, a weather front coming in from the south-west introducing rain | :44:53. | :44:54. | |
that will push north and east. A peppering of showers, wintry in | :44:55. | :45:01. | |
the north of Scotland, the south of Scotland and some on higher ground | :45:02. | :45:05. | |
in the north of England. For many it will be a dry day, the first day of | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
the meteorological spring, not the astronomical one, and we will see | :45:11. | :45:13. | |
plenty of sunshine. Through the afternoon we hang onto some showers | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
across the north, a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
Temperatures no great shakes, you won't be writing postcards about | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
these, and in Northern Ireland a few showers with the cloud building | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
ahead of rain later. Also some showers in northern England and a | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
bit of sunshine as well, sunny down towards the Midlands, parts of East | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
Anglia and Wales and then a weather front comes into its own and it will | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
produce quite a bit of rain having moved in from the south-west over | :45:41. | :45:45. | |
towards Kent, south Wales and the Midlands. Later on where looking at | :45:46. | :45:49. | |
strong winds, particularly across parts of England and Wales, rain and | :45:50. | :45:54. | |
some will see some hill snow. The wind will pick up through the | :45:55. | :45:58. | |
afternoon but around dinnertime we will see winds strengthening to gale | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
force wind the south-west and the strong winds will be in southern | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
counties, as I mentioned, Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia. Inland | :46:06. | :46:09. | |
we're looking at gusts between 50 and 60 mph, that is enough to move | :46:10. | :46:16. | |
Duberry around and put branches off trees and you'll find them on the | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
roads as well and around the coast it will be more than that. -- | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
debris. As the band of rain goes northwards into north Wales, the | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
Midlands, northern England and southern Northern Ireland it will | :46:29. | :46:31. | |
turn to snow readily on higher ground but for a time we could see | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
some snow at lower levels as well, a lot to consider tonight therefore. | :46:36. | :46:41. | |
Tonight, Dreyer, some frost around and the risk of ice on untreated | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
surfaces -- drier. Tomorrow evening we start windy but quite quickly the | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
gales will abate, it will still be a windy day but look at the sunshine | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
in England and Wales are away from the north, where we will have a few | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
showers. In Scotland we will have some showers, wintry, windy in the | :47:01. | :47:03. | |
far north and a couple of weather fronts coming from the south-west | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
producing rain across north Wales and eventually getting to Northern | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
Ireland. Double figures in the south but still pretty nippy as we go | :47:12. | :47:13. | |
further north. You're quite right, Carol. Thank you | :47:14. | :47:19. | |
very much. And happy St David's Day to you as well. See you in half an | :47:20. | :47:22. | |
hour. We've heard about the government's | :47:23. | :47:24. | |
industrial strategy this morning we'll hear about a new | :47:25. | :47:28. | |
digital Strategy. It's not just about how we compete | :47:29. | :47:37. | |
with other countries but it is also about getting as online. | :47:38. | :47:45. | |
A little later this morning the Government will launch | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
their Digital Strategy, basically a big set of targets | :47:49. | :47:50. | |
for where it sees our economy moving in the future. | :47:51. | :47:55. | |
Included in it is further detail of ?1 billion worth of funding | :47:56. | :47:59. | |
for superfast broadcast and 5G mobile networks announced | :48:00. | :48:01. | |
But also a commitment to train four million people in so-called digital | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
skills, everything from banking online, | :48:06. | :48:07. | |
to coding and will be backed by firms like BT and Google. | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
Let's talk to Karen Bradley, Secretary of State for | :48:12. | :48:13. | |
the Department of Culture, Media and Sports. | :48:14. | :48:15. | |
Good morning to you. I touched on the idea of this digital divide, | :48:16. | :48:21. | |
certainly some people are very tech savvy and are already online, | :48:22. | :48:24. | |
they're doing online banking and that sort of thing already and there | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
is a huge swathe of the population who are excluded from that and | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
that's the focus of this digital strategy? Absolutely. Today we are | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
announcing our vision of Britain in the future, a world leading digital | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
Britain but you're right to identify the fact there are many people in | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
Britain today who aren't benefiting from digital. We estimate around | :48:46. | :48:50. | |
12.5 million adults who don't have digital skills today. We need to | :48:51. | :48:54. | |
make sure we give them those skills and the ability to be able to use | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
all the benefits of digital because digital is not just the digital tech | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
companies that we all think of, but it's the benefits to all business | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
and all of us from being able to do more online. You're going to work | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
with some big firms to deliver this, on the list there's names like | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
Barclays, Google and Lloyds. Clearly it's in their interest to do that | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
because if you look at Barclays, they want asked to bank online, they | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
save money from the high street and Google profit from using the website | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
-- has. Where do you draw the line between helping private business and | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
helping the public? It's a whole strategy to work with the industry | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
and others to deliver a world leading British digital economy that | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
we want to see. We want to be the number one country, as you've | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
already said, for tech start-ups and the number one country for trying | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
out new ideas. You only have to look at the statistics for small | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
businesses were those that have an online presence create twice as many | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
jobs as those that don't, make twice the profits and grow at twice the | :50:03. | :50:12. | |
speed. These are the reasons why it's incredibly important that we | :50:13. | :50:16. | |
have digital skills across the whole country and for everybody so that we | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
can all benefit. I don't want to be a cynic about all of this but it's | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
going to take more than a few million quid to take the likes of | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
Silicon Valley on, you look at Google, Facebook and the tech apps | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
that we see these days, are we were going to compete with them? That's | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
why we're putting this strategy in place, looking at it in the same way | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
as our industrial strategy, building on our strengths but tackling | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
weaknesses and we put the right framework in place so businesses can | :50:42. | :50:50. | |
thrive. We have the opportunity leaving the EU to create a flexible | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
framework that works for all and make sure we have the skills across | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
the whole economies. That's what the strategy is about and I'm looking | :50:58. | :51:00. | |
forward to working with business to help with skills training and | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
helping make sure we have the economy that works for them. Good to | :51:04. | :51:06. | |
talk to you. Karen Brett Lee, Secretary of State for culture, | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
media and sport. We'll have the details of that strategy later. -- | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
Karen Bradley. Campers are set to be told to pack | :51:13. | :51:14. | |
up their tents if they pitch them We've been singing some beautiful | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
pictures from there this morning. As of today, new rules come | :51:19. | :51:22. | |
into force to protect the famous I've been watching those pictures | :51:23. | :51:36. | |
all morning and you can see why people would want to camp there. | :51:37. | :51:38. | |
What's going on? I feel I shouldn't say anything at | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
all, I should let us all look at these beautiful images we're getting | :51:45. | :51:50. | |
from Loch Lomond. You can see the margins of the ancient Atlantic oak | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
woodland behind me going into the loch and in the distance you can see | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
and ancient Ireland. Very popular, 4.5 million people come here every | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
year, which is why there are such enormous problems -- an ancient | :52:06. | :52:08. | |
Ireland. Loch Lomond, the largest inland body | :52:09. | :52:09. | |
of water in Britain, drawing in millions | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
of visitors every year. Without doubt one of | :52:13. | :52:13. | |
the jewels in the crown These pictures, holiday snaps | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
from hell you might call them, record the damage that has been | :52:17. | :52:24. | |
done in previous years. Which is why the Park Authority | :52:25. | :52:26. | |
wants to bring in by-laws which will control wild camping | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
in the busiest areas. This is a kind of typical example | :52:31. | :52:34. | |
of people coming along and trying to get themselves some firewood | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
that's maybe a bit bigger The sheer volume of folk can end up | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
being damaging in itself. If you mix that with a bit | :52:42. | :52:47. | |
of antisocial behaviour then sites We've got some of the most wonderful | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
landscapes you can imagine here and you can see why | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
people come and enjoy it, so we want the sites to match | :52:57. | :52:59. | |
that while they're here. From today anyone wild camping | :53:00. | :53:01. | |
in managed areas along the shores of the most popular lochs | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
within the park could face a fine Wild camping enthusiasts see that | :53:06. | :53:08. | |
as a breach of Scotland's legal They believe the Park Authority | :53:09. | :53:16. | |
should focus on educating people There are things that the rangers | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
and the authorities can do They already can fine | :53:21. | :53:27. | |
people for littering, There's no need to create this | :53:28. | :53:33. | |
by-law which criminalises people who aren't doing it | :53:34. | :53:40. | |
the wrong way to. And let's be honest, | :53:41. | :53:43. | |
it is a small number of people And with the new restrictions | :53:44. | :53:46. | |
there could be a lot of disappointed The idea of Scotland | :53:47. | :53:50. | |
when I first came here No matter where you are, | :53:51. | :53:55. | |
just say that that's the law You come up here for the fact it's | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
untented, and you can go wherever If it's in a designated area, | :54:03. | :54:08. | |
they can still come, they can still camp, | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
they can still enjoy it but everyone People coming with kids, | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
animals and there's not This is the only location | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
on the east side of Loch Lomond where wild camping | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
will be permitted. The question is, will people know | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
about these new controls and how strictly are they | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
going to be enforced? The new by-laws will be | :54:38. | :54:39. | |
reviewed in three years. So, for the wild campers, this | :54:40. | :54:41. | |
is a fight which is not over yet. James Shaw, BBC News, | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
on the banks of Loch Lomond. So, we have exactly the right person | :54:46. | :54:58. | |
to answer those questions. This is Gordon Watson, the Chief Executive | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
of the Park Authority. Tell us first of all, how are you going to let | :55:04. | :55:07. | |
people know about these new controls? We've been doing that | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
since last year, just over a year ago when the bylaws were approved by | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
the government, the Rangers were on the ground telling people about the | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
changes and now they've arrived we are communicating that in a wide | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
range of ways and our partners are publishing it in publications, we | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
have signs on the ground and a fabulous website people can go to to | :55:28. | :55:32. | |
see the camping opportunities at the park and the permits that we run. | :55:33. | :55:39. | |
What about the enforcement, the idea somebody could be prosecuted, is | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
that going to happen? Our approach first and is education, it always | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
has been and always will be, we will have people telling people how to | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
camp and how to do it responsibly. Where they can book a permit or a | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
pitch and to make visitors as welcome as possible and to show them | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
how to camp responsibly. Gordon Watson, thank you very much indeed. | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
It's going to be able and interesting summer here at Loch | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
Lomond. As you say, James, words can't even begin to to describe the | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
stunning beauty, it is heart stopping. Thank you so much and we | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
will be back with you later. It is gorgeous, it is five miles wide, | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
just a morning paddle for you in your triathlon gear! I would love to | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
be up there, I know it would be cold! Sorry to ruin the view of Loch | :56:32. | :56:34. | |

morning. There is the risk of ice, but a fair bit of sunshine. There | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
are some showers which will be wintery across northern and Southern | :02:11. | :02:13. | |

most presidential speech so far, Donald Trump has promised | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
a "new chapter of American greatness" in his first | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
speech to Congress. He appealed for unity, | :02:34. | :02:36. | |

this report from Washington. Donald Trump's trip to Congress gave | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
them a few last moments This platform is new territory | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
for this political outsider. Donald Trump set out his vision | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
with emphasis on border control. We must restore integrity | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
and the rule of law at our borders. For that reason we will soon begin | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
the construction of a great, great He softened his tone | :03:16. | :03:19. | |

applause of the night was saved And Ryan is looking down right now, | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
you know that, and he's very happy because I think he just | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
broke a record. There was much in the speech | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
for Democrats to like. A trillion-dollar investment | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
in infrastructure, talk of paid family leave, but most stayed | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
stony faced throughout. We all salute the same great | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
American flag and we all This was the most presidential hour | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
of Donald Trump's presidency and there will be some in his party | :04:21. | :04:30. | |
breathing a sigh of relief. Earlier our Washington | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
Correspondent, Laura Bicker, described the speech | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
as a conventional but none Considering Donald Trump was swept | :04:47. | :04:56. | |
to power because he was unconventional, this speech was | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
quite a conventional political speech. But there was much in there | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
that will please his own party. That talk of a trillion dollar investment | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
in infrastructure. The talk of repealing and replacing the | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
so-called Obamacare, that's the current healthcare system that was | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
brought in by President Obama. And of course, there was this talk of | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
beefing up the military budget by $54 billion. He did appeal for unity | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
on several occasions. Pointing to the other side of the aisle where | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the Democrats were sitting very much unhappy with what they were hearing. | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
However, when it comes to what he will be asking for in the future, | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
that talk of spending when it comes to infrastructure, perhaps many | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
States see new bridges, need new roads and perhaps Democrats will be | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
looking to Republicans at that time saying "Maybe there is some deals | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
that can be done." In terms of what President Trump needed to do in this | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
speech, he achieved it. He needed to produce a historic moment where he | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
showed where he could be a steady hand and that's what he managed to | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
do. Drivers caught using their phone | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
behind the wheel will face tougher Fines in England, Wales | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
and Scotland will double to ?200 and offenders will get six points | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
on their licence. It will mean newly qualified drivers | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
with less than two years on the road face losing their licence | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
if they are caught sending a text. Our correspondent, | :06:22. | :06:24. | |

the UK is crystal clear, we've been warned, | :06:36. | :06:48. | |
but we simply aren't listening. The most recent report from the RAC | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
found 31% of drivers admit to using a hand-held phone | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
at the wheel compared She had it held in both hands | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
texting with both thumbs. This driver was spotted | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
holding her phone to plot a route. You had your phone in both hands | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
on top of your steering wheel. You may or may not be aware, | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
it is going to change. Six points and ?200 fine | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
and no option of any sort It's just how she was using her | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
phone that makes it an offence. It's more than just | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
making a phone call. Further up the road, | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
a two minute call will have serious You were on your mobile phone. | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
You are aware that's an offence? In the 20 odd years I've been | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
on the road I have seen I've seen phone in one hand, | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
lap on the other, and knee What just happened a minor | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
indiscretion in relation to the scale of things, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
but no, I should know better. Unfortunately your | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
mum has been killed. Police operations will now run | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
alongside a media campaign centred Higher penalties are only | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
part of the answer. In the end, we must all be conscious | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
of the lives we put at risk. There is nothing that is | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
so important it cannot wait. Don't use your phone | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
whilst you're driving. Thank you for your messages about | :08:03. | :08:17. | |
that and we will be talking about it further shortly. | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
Two women have appeared in court in Malaysia charged with murdering | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
the half brother of the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
The suspects are accused of killing him with the nerve agent | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
VX in Kuala Lumpur Airport a fortnight ago. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
Let's get the latest from our Korea Correspondent Steve Evans in Seoul. | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Steve, I would imagine there was strict security | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
Absolutely vast security. The two women were led in separately right | :08:37. | :08:48. | |
in the middle of heavily armed police, helmets, visors, full body | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
armour, the works. In court, it was a formal hearing. Not a trial, just | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
identification and the charges were read to them. The charge was read to | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
them that they murdered a North Korean citizen on 13th February in | :09:04. | :09:16. | |
Kuala Lumpur Airport. One woman said she understood the charge and the | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
other woman said she understood the charge, but she didn't do it. It | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
will be heard in a formal trial later where the not guilty plea will | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
be put forward. Their defence is that they thought it was a prank. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
They thought they'd been duped into taking part into some kind of TV | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
stunt. The Malaysian authorities are sceptical about that because they | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
reason that if these ladies thought it was a prank, why were they so | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
careful that that substance didn't get on their own hands and that will | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
be their case in court much later. Fascinating. Steve, thank you very | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
much for that this morning. The Government faces | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
the prospect of its first defeat over the Brexit Bill | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
in the House of Lords. Opposition peers want an amendment | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
to protect the rights of EU Our Political Correspondent, | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Carole Walker is in Westminster Carole, if the Government loses this | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
vote what happens next? What it looks as though is going to | :10:10. | :10:20. | |
happen is Opposition MPs, Opposition peers, along with some Conservatives | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
will inflict a first defeat on the Government over this Brexit Bill. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
They want the Government to guarantee the rights of EU citizens | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
here in the UK, around three million of them, the Home Secretary amber | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Rudd has written to peers and said the Government does want to do this | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
as a priority, but only as part of a wider deal that also guarantees the | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
rights of up to one million British citizens across other European Union | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
countries and we know that some other EU countries won't even talk | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
about this until Article 50 has been triggered and the Brexit | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
negotiations begin. If that does happen, if there is a defeat, it | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
will come back to the Commons. Ministers are certainly optimistic | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
that they will be able to overturn that defeat in the Commons, though | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
it will be embarrassing for them to have to go through. It will have to | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
then go back to the Lords again, but the expectation is that at that | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
stage, having made their point, peers will back down. That should | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
allow the Government to trigger Article 50 and begin the | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
negotiations as planned by the end of March, but I think it is a | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
reminder of some difficult Parliamentary battles ahead. Carole, | :11:26. | :11:27. | |
thank you very much. Scientists have found | :11:28. | :11:34. | |

the tour operator, TUI. A coroner ruled that | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
the holiday-makers were unlawfully killed by an Islamist gunman | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
in the resort of He rejected a finding of neglect | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
against the travel firm. The attack was the deadliest | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
on Britons since the 7th July Joining us now are Olivia Leathley, | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
who was on holiday in Tunisia at the time of the attack | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
and Simon Calder, Good morning to you both. Thank you | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
very much for joining us. Simon, just talk a little about the next | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
steps because it seems that the families and Olivia can talk about | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
this in a moment are going to try to take the travel company to court. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
They certainly are. Now, as you mentioned, the finding of neglect | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
was rejected by the coroner. However, that was a very, very close | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
legal argument and in the context of a coroner's court a finding of | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
neglect is specific and he said legally it couldn't work, that | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
doesn't mean there has not been negligence and as the families said | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
yesterday outside the High Court, they will be taking legal action | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
against TUI who they believe, effectively put their loved ones in | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
harm's way. Of course, the coroner himself is writing a detailed report | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
which is going to be published at the end of this month and Ab ta | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
says, "We will see if there are any learnings from the industry." | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Anybody who has gone through the six harrowing weeks of the inquests will | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
have thought there is so much we've discovered about the travel industry | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
and so much that needs to be changed. I have got a quote here, | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
the coroner described the Tunisian police at best shambolic and at | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
worst cowardly. You have spond about how it affected you. Does that | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
resonate with you when you think back to the way the security acted | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
Definitely. I didn't find out about the fact that there was an armed | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
police unit less than three minutes away until yesterday. I think that | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
was a really big shock for, you know, the families of the victims | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
and you know, us survivors and you know I wholeheartedly agree with the | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
coroner. We put our faith in the police, in the Armed Forces to be | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
there and to protect us and they didn't. | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
Simon, you talk about the lessons being learnt. What is the most | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
important thing, do you think? Well, I think, we heard earlier that | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
terribly sad interview with two of the relatives of the victims | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
including Suzanne Evans who lost her father, her brother and older son | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
the beach that terrible day. She said, she couldn't think of anything | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
positive that could come from it, but I would say even from this awful | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
tragedy, there has to be lessons learnt. The most important one is | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
actually we as holiday-makers have to be more engaged with the | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
destination. We need to understand culturally what's going on. We need, | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
of course, to be aware of the security situation and take advice | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
from the Foreign Office. But also, the travel industry absolutely has | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
to do more. I have here the crib sheet that Thompson's sent out after | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
the museum massacre which was three months before the Sousse massacre in | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
which it just says, "Business as usual." If you booked a holiday with | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
us and I believe that you had done that, you want to change your | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
destination or cancel the holiday, normal financial penalties will | :15:48. | :15:48. | |
apply. Olivia Coffey you were aware of | :15:49. | :15:57. | |
where you were going, but did security come across as an issue | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
when you are booking a holiday? Did you ever discuss with a travel | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
agent, was it a concern of yours? No. We spoke to our families about | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
it and they said there has been a lot of civil unrest after the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
previous attack, and we thought because we were so far away, you | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
know, we were right away from everything, were on the coast. And | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
in a resort. Yes, that is why we went all-inclusive, we thought we | :16:24. | :16:25. | |
don't have to wander anywhere else. It will all be OK. And I was hoping | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
that from the inquests, there would be a lot more readily available | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
information into what is actually happening in places like Tunisia and | :16:38. | :16:44. | |
for instant Egypt and Turkey. Just briefly, Simon, any kind of legal | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
action, it will all take a long time, and also be quite painful, I | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
guess, for people to have to go through it again. They have enjoyed | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
two years of sheer horror and that will I'm afraid continue, but it is | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
really important -- they have endured. Despite these awful | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
tragedies we have been hearing about, it is really important to | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
bear in mind that's only people's livelihoods depend on toes in | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
Tunisia, and keep the bigger risks in perspective, and you are far more | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
likely to suffer as a result of road accident or an accident in water | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
than you are as a result of terrorism. Olivia, would you ever go | :17:24. | :17:30. | |
back? Me and Mike really want to, because the first five days were | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
absolutely incredible. The hotel staff were amazing. We were really | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
happy with Thomson, they got us on a flight home that night, they | :17:40. | :17:41. | |
reimbursed our entire holiday, even though we said it is not a problem, | :17:42. | :17:47. | |
and we would like to go back, for the hotel, and to get some closure. | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
Thank you very much, really interesting to talk to you. We have | :17:53. | :17:53. | |
a statement from TUI... a full and active role throughout | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
the process of the inquests and wanted to understand | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
the specific circumstances They say, as an industry they have | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
adapted and we will need President Donald Trump has promised | :18:08. | :18:18. | |

my favourite part of the programme is this. I thought it was going to | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
be Carol! LAUGHTER It is obviously Carol, but this and | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
Carol together, it has been such a stunning view. The weather is lovely | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
there, what about everywhere else? It is gorgeous at Loch Lomond, it is | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
called mind you, and of course it is said David stay, so our Weather | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
Watchers have been sending us in pictures of daffodils. This is in | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
Port Talbot. Play macro what we have today are a gathering of wintry | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
showers across, a weather front coming in across the South of | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
England, bringing in some rain that will continue to move north and east | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
through the course of the day. The risk of ice on untreated surfaces | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
first thing this morning but for many of us a fine start to the day, | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
and a fine day generally with some sunshine. Across the North of | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
Scotland, we hang on to the showers on and off through the day. Equally | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
we will hang on to the sunshine as well in between the showers, and | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
away from the showers temperature is up to about six Celsius and stop not | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
a bad afternoon in Northern Ireland but the temperature building from | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
the south. One or two showers across northern England but outside, there | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
will be a loss of sunshine as we pushed down towards the Midlands and | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
East Anglia and also North Wales. The South Wales and southern | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
England, the rain coming in courtesy of the weather front, although later | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
on they will brighten up across the arts of silly and Cornwall. However, | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
having said that, later on too the wind will strengthen and will be a | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
feature of the weather, particularly overnight, and we will have rain and | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
snow too. So the focus on the wind, by around tea-time we are starting | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
to blow a gale across south-west England, that will transfer across | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
southern counties to Wales, the Midlands, in the East Anglia. | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
Inland, gusts of 50 to 60 mph, around the coast about 60 to 70 mph. | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
That can bring down small trees, branches and can move Dave Reay and | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
will make tricky travelling conditions if you are in a light or | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
high sided vehicle, because as well as the strong winds, the band of | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
rain continuing to move northwards, and as it engages with cold air | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
across North Wales, the North Midlands, parts of northern England, | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
we will see some snow, particularly in the hills but also to lower | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
levels for a time. As we move further north from that band of rain | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
and snow, it is drier but there will be a risk of frost and also ice. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
Tomorrow morning we start off still with gales very first thing, but | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
they will subside through the morning. They will still be a windy | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
day but for much of southern England and Wales, a fine day with | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
increasing amounts of cloud at times. Some showers too across | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Northern Ireland, someone true showers across Scotland, and then a | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
band of rain pushing in, bringing rain to Northern Ireland and across | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
North Wales. Still a bit nippy in the north, that bit milder as we | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
pushed down towards the south. For Friday, our next area of low | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
pressure is just waiting in the wings to come our way and that too | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
will bring some further spells of rain across England and Wales, but | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
further north at the moment it looks like it will stay that bit drier and | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
brighter. The lion's share of the sunshine will be across Scotland, | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
here we have highs of seven to about 11. I can only apologise to everyone | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
for my very bad Welsh pronunciation saying at Saint David stay. | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
Seeing someone using their mobile phone while they are driving has | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
As of today, those that do, might want to think again. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
That's because they now face tougher punishments. | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
The fine in England, Scotland and Wales is | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
doubling from today - up to ?200... | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
With six points on a licence instead of three. | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
New drivers with less than two years on the road face | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
losing their licence if they are caught sending a text. | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
According to the latest figures, 22 people were killed and 99 | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
were seriously injured in accidents on Britain's roads in 2015 | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
where a motorist using a mobile was a factor. | :22:35. | :22:50. | |
David Jamieson is the Police and Crime Commissioner | :22:51. | :22:51. | |
for the West Midlands - and a former Road Safety Minister. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
He joins us from our Birmingham newsroom. | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
Thank you for coming on and talking to us about this. We have had a huge | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
response from our viewers as well, as many people are saying they | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
welcome these measures, they are saying it is not go far enough. What | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
are your thoughts on that? I welcome the measure, I welcome the tougher | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
financing increase in points. I as a transport minister brought in this | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
band back in 2003 and I'm glad to see it's toughened up. -- this | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
banned. If you don't have the enforcement or the ability to | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
enforce it, it is ineffective. My force and other forces around the | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
country, my force have lost 2000 officers in the last seven years. | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
That means the blue line is thinner, and the capacity for officers to | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
enforce this is more and more difficult. So I have written, last | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
year I wrote to the Secretary of State for sport, asking that the | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
fines from people using Web phones while striving, if that can be | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
recycled back to the local police forces like mine, and we can use it | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
for the enforcement. So then instead of the taxpayer having to pay for | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
enforcement of this particular measure, it is the offender who pays | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
instead. Listening to what you have just said, is it most pointless | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
making these changes if it is unenforceable because of a lack of | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
resources? This is the point I made to Chris Grayling last year, that | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
although I very much welcomed the measures he was taking, I said to | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
him there is the problem of enforcement. And the level of | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
enforcement we are able to do at the moment is nowhere near that which | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
the public expects. And I am not calling the new public money, what I | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
am saying is let the people who are offending, the people who are | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
breaking the law, let them pay for some of the enforcement of this law. | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
So bring those fines back to the police forces, so we can put more | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
officers on the road to keep us safe. On a slightly different issue, | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
resources is one side of this, it but you said at the time when he | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
brought in those measures back in 2003 you are doing that to make the | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
roads safer for us all. Why do you think the messages on getting | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
through? Firstly, the roads are safer. People are still using their | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
phones more than ever before. I know society has changed but people are | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
using them in their cars more. The roads are safer, we have halved the | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
number of people who die in our roads of the last 15 years, so they | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
are safer. What has happened is that more people now have mobile phones | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
than they had back in 2003, but there are also many other electronic | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
devices people can use, and our officers a few months ago actually | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
found a heavy goods vehicle driver watching the television on the | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
dashboard of his lorry. I am glad to say he is no longer on the road and | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
no longer has a license, so there are more devices around than used to | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
be. But I come back to this point, it is the enforcement and having the | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
capacity for our fleece forces to enforce the law and I think I want | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
the offender to part from that. A lot of people have contacted us say | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
what Comey do in a car, can they use their phone as a sat nav? If they | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
are looking at the phone or handling it, they should not be doing it at | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
all. Any device or anything that distracts you you should not be | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
using. A sat nav is just one thing in the car way you can glance your | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
eyes that but people should not even be making calls of any sort, even | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
from a hands-free phone. They should not be making those calls. So I | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
would say just don't use these devices. Of course you can have a | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
sat nav where you occasionally look at it and you can hear a message | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
coming at you but that is very different from handling a phone. | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
David Jamieson, good to talk to you this morning, thank you. Still to | :26:43. | :26:48. | |

to Dan and Louise. Hello, this is Breakfast | :30:17. | :30:18. | |
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. It is 8:30am exactly. Let's bring | :30:19. | :30:34. | |
you up-to-date with all the news and sport this morning. | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
In what is being regarded as his most presidential speech so far, | :30:38. | :30:40. | |
Donald Trump has promised a "new chapter of American | :30:41. | :30:42. | |
greatness" in his address to Congress. | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
He also appealed for unity, saying the time for "trivial | :30:46. | :30:47. | |
In an hour-long speech, he promised extra spending | :30:48. | :30:51. | |
on infrastructure and the military and pledged to tackle illegal | :30:52. | :30:53. | |
We just need the courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts, the | :30:54. | :31:06. | |
bravery to express the hopes and our souls, and the confidence to turn | :31:07. | :31:09. | |
those hopes and those dreams into action. From now on, America will be | :31:10. | :31:17. | |
empowered by our aspirations, not burdened by our fears. | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
Our correspondent Laura Bicker joins us now from Washington. | :31:23. | :31:24. | |
Thank you for your time. A different colour tied to what we normally see | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
from President Trump, and was there a difference in the address, | :31:32. | :31:34. | |
specifically the tone, as well? There was a real softening of the | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
tone. When Donald Trump takes to the podium, as journalist and | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
politicians and even his politicians will say, we never know quite what | :31:44. | :31:50. | |
to expect. But today it was unexpected, it was probably the most | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
residential hour of his presidency so far. The speech laid out his | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
vision, his campaign promises, and put a little more flesh on the | :32:01. | :32:03. | |
bones, $1 trillion investment for infrastructure which will go down | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
well with structure companies who are looking to invest. -- | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
construction companies. There was a call to repeal Obamacare, something | :32:12. | :32:18. | |
his colleagues have been waiting to hear, President Obama's affordable | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
health care act, but there are real concerns over that, too, because | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
Democrats fear 20 million people could be left uninsured. So that is | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
controversial, but there it was for Republicans to hear and be reassured | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
by it. There were another number promises he kept from the start of | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
the campaign, to build a wall with Mexico for instance, and cracking | :32:41. | :32:46. | |
down on terrorism. Ade merit-based immigration system, something we | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
haven't heard before, a softening in stance and perhaps a policy shift on | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
immigration that we might be seen coming from the White House. But | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
when it comes to calls for unity, and there were a number of them | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
throughout the speech, it really fell on deaf ears, because Democrats | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
were stony faced throughout. They left as soon as he finished. And | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
when it came to President Trump walking down the aisles, it was | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
Republicans' hands he was shaking. The Democrats will look at this, and | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
they are not liking what they are seeing, and that call for unity has | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
certainly fallen on deaf ears. Laura, good to talk to you, thank | :33:22. | :33:26. | |
you very much. You have sent lots of comments about this next story. | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
Drivers caught using their phone behind the wheel will face tougher | :33:32. | :33:33. | |
punishments from today in England, Wales and Scotland. | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
Motorists face getting 6 points on their licence | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
Those with less than two years on the road will lose their licence | :33:38. | :33:41. | |
altogether if they are caught using their mobile just once. | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
We have got lots of comments and questions on that, loads of people | :33:47. | :33:51. | |
asking about hands-free calls, and it is important to clarify, that is | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
not illegal to be an hands-free in your car, but if you are using your | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
phone immediately prior to crash and that is discovered, even though | :34:01. | :34:04. | |
technically they are not covered by the police penalty notice, police | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
can still use that as evidence against you, because you have a | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
legal duty to be in control of your car, so the whole point of this is | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
to reconsider what you do in the car with your phone. | :34:17. | :34:21. | |
Two women have been charged with the murder of Kim Jong Nam, | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. | :34:25. | :34:26. | |
The pair, one Vietnamese, one Indonesian, face the death | :34:27. | :34:28. | |
Malaysian police believe they wiped the deadly VX nerve agent | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
on his face just over a fortnight ago in Kula Lumpur airport. | :34:34. | :34:35. | |
The women claim they thought they were taking part in a video prank. | :34:36. | :34:44. | |
The Government is facing its first defeat for its Brexit bill | :34:45. | :34:46. | |
Opposition peers will attempt to amend | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
the Article 50 legislation to protect the rights of EU | :34:52. | :34:53. | |
If this happens, MPs could remove the Lords' proposed changes again | :34:54. | :34:57. | |
when the bill moves back to the House of Commons. | :34:58. | :35:03. | |
Pancakes. A lot of people were having pancakes yesterday. | :35:04. | :35:12. | |
But how about this for an epic Shrove Tuesday challenge? | :35:13. | :35:14. | |
This is the final lap of the pancake race at Worcester Cathedral. | :35:15. | :35:17. | |
As you can see, we have an excellent view from the perspective | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
of the Dean, The Very Reverend Peter Atkinson, as he completes | :35:21. | :35:22. | |
a number of obstacles whilst flipping a pancake. | :35:23. | :35:26. | |
Can you still see it? Our television in the studio has gone on the blink, | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
but thankfully you can still see! They do the race every year, | :35:32. | :35:35. | |
but it was the first time they'd strapped a camera to one | :35:36. | :35:38. | |
of the participants. The teams were made up of clergy, | :35:39. | :35:40. | |
vergers and choristers, all of whom were cheered | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
across the line by some I think we have got the winning shot | :35:43. | :35:52. | |
as well, here it is! I think I would count the frying pan going over as | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
the equivalent of dipping for the line. Real determination on the face | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
there as well! You are right up-to-date with the latest news at | :36:01. | :36:02. | |
25 minutes to nine. That's me! You were giving me a | :36:03. | :36:12. | |
nudge there! I was trying to be subtle. | :36:13. | :36:14. | |
The Victoria Derbyshire programme is on at 9 o'clock on BBC2. | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
Good morning. We will hear about new wonder drug for hepatitis C, and | :36:18. | :36:24. | |
claims that a charity received a large amount of money from the drugs | :36:25. | :36:29. | |
manufacturer. It has a 95% success rate, and can cure people within | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
eight weeks. You can't put a price on your life, can you? You don't | :36:34. | :36:38. | |
know if it is going to work. I couldn't go on like I was, so I had | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
to make a decision. So why isn't it more widely available on the NHS? | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
Join us after breakfast on BBC Two, the news channel and BBC online. | :36:49. | :36:50. | |
Thank you very much for that. Carol will have the weather | :36:51. | :36:54. | |
in about ten minutes' time She showed us how | :36:55. | :37:01. | |
to Bend It Like Beckham. The film director, Gurinder Chadha | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
joins us to talk about the real life family drama that | :37:06. | :37:08. | |
inspired her new film set during the last months | :37:09. | :37:10. | |
of British rule in India. Last year millions of us | :37:11. | :37:13. | |
played the mobile game 'Pokemon Go' We've been speaking to the boss | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
behind the craze to find out. In England and Wales, | :37:16. | :37:21. | |
children and their parents find out today if they have got | :37:22. | :37:23. | |
into the secondary school We'll ask what you can | :37:24. | :37:25. | |
do if you don't get And what about places in the Premier | :37:26. | :37:39. | |
League? Newcastle and Brighton both in a good position and played each | :37:40. | :37:40. | |
other last night. When Rafa Benitez agreed to stay | :37:41. | :37:48. | |
with Newcastle, people thought that was a risk, but maybe now he is | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
feeling like it was a good decision. The Championship title race | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
saw the top two face each other last night, | :37:56. | :37:58. | |
and this morning Newcastle United are top after beating Brighton | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
and Hove Albion 2-1. They replace Brighton, who led 1-0 | :38:01. | :38:02. | |
before Mohammad Diame's jammy goal. Ayozee Perez completed | :38:03. | :38:04. | |
the comeback for Newcastle, who are looking to make an instant | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
return to the Premier League. Hamilton Academical have | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
moved off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership | :38:15. | :38:16. | |
following a 1-0 win at home Despite being reduced to ten men | :38:17. | :38:18. | |
late on, Mikey Devlin's first-half goal proved to be the winner | :38:19. | :38:24. | |
for Hamilton, who climb up to ninth. Aberdeen remain 24 points behind | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
runaway leaders Celtic. There's nothing better | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
than a shiny new car, and Lewis Hamilton will be happy | :38:35. | :38:36. | |
with his after continuing to impress on the second day of Formula | :38:37. | :38:38. | |
1 pre-season testing. The three-time World Champion | :38:39. | :38:41. | |
completed 66 laps in Barcelona, his fastest time slightly slower | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
than Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen. McLaren continue to | :38:44. | :38:45. | |
struggle with reliability. They managed just 40 laps | :38:46. | :38:47. | |
all day after problems Andy Murray had five weeks off | :38:48. | :38:49. | |
after his early exit But he looks like he has recovered | :38:50. | :38:57. | |
well. There wasn't too much | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
rustiness in his first match He swept aside Malek Jaziri | :39:03. | :39:04. | |
in the first round. He had a little wobble in the first | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
set, but took it 6-4 and raced away Dan Evans is also | :39:09. | :39:11. | |
through to round two. He followed up reaching the fourth | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
round at the Australian Open with a straight sets win over Dustin | :39:17. | :39:19. | |
Brown. Good to see Andy Murray back on form | :39:20. | :39:24. | |
after that terrible bout of Shingles. Terrible thing to have. He | :39:25. | :39:26. | |
looks fighting fit and well again. She shone a spotlight on what life | :39:27. | :39:42. | |
was like for young Asian football-daft women in the comedy | :39:43. | :39:45. | |
"Bend It Like Beckham" and now the award-winning director | :39:46. | :39:47. | |
Gurinder Chadha has turned to an event in her family's history | :39:48. | :39:49. | |
that split it in two. Her new film Viceroy's House | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
tells the story of the 1947 partition of India through the eyes | :39:53. | :39:54. | |
of its last British rulers - From now on, almost half of all | :39:55. | :40:01. | |
guest at all occasions must be Indian. Also, I want to be Indian | :40:02. | :40:07. | |
women. Rajkumar in a. Have you got that? | :40:08. | :40:28. | |
Yes ma'am. Here are the riders. Each day is so crammed, two poached eggs, | :40:29. | :40:34. | |
tomatoes, sausages, T. Did you know that 92% of the population is | :40:35. | :40:40. | |
illiterate? And one in five babies guys before they are four months | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
old. Darling, sometimes we have to accept what we cannot change. But we | :40:48. | :40:51. | |
can change a lot, and we absolutely have to. India's problems are not | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
just political, they are social and economic. Almost half the baby is | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
born here die before they are five, that cannot be the legacy after the | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
British lead India for three centuries. We can improve the | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
infrastructure... That is not why we are here. You will wear yourself | :41:10. | :41:11. | |
out. You mean I will wear you out. That is a taster for you. Gurinder | :41:12. | :41:21. | |
Chadha is here with us. It started in some way as a personal project, | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
didn't it? Yes, it did, I did an episode of Who Do You Think You Are? | :41:30. | :41:36. | |
Ten years ago. And to go back there for me was a big thing. I was | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
reticent about going because my ancestral homeland in 1947 had | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
become a new country called Pakistan, and all my family had had | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
to leave as refugees, so I was nervous, but when I got there, I got | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
the most overwhelming welcome from people, and I was amazed, they gave | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
me assure and through flower petals at me and said I was their daughter. | :41:58. | :42:01. | |
Going to the house that my grandfather built which my | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
grandmother had left as a refugee with her small children, they're in | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
that house now were other families who themselves had been refugees | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
coming from the other side, so it is that reality that I saw and said, I | :42:14. | :42:18. | |
really need to do a film on partition. And so many families like | :42:19. | :42:25. | |
your own were affected by this in the 1940s. I wonder what the | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
significance of making that film now is. A lot of people like me, our | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
grandparents or parents went through it, and nobody wants to talk about | :42:36. | :42:41. | |
it. But it is also a very important part of dishes straight, because it | :42:42. | :42:43. | |
is about the last days of the British Raj. -- an important part of | :42:44. | :42:50. | |
British history. And it gives you a background into why people like me | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
are here in England. My association with England started 400 years ago | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
when the East India company went to India, so not a lot of people know | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
about that, and sadly a teacher friend told me that a lot of | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
children today don't even know that Britain had an empire, because it | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
isn't taught in schools any more. If we don't know our past, we can't | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
read understand ourselves today. You started a conversation in our house | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
last night. And you have done it from lots of different people's | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
perspectives as well. Yes, it is a very unique, epic, historical film, | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
very sumptuous, British costume dramas is what we do really well in | :43:32. | :43:37. | |
this country. So it is very handsome looking, but it is from a British | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
Asian perspective, and that is a unique perspective. There is only me | :43:43. | :43:48. | |
in the whole world making films from that perspective at the moment. | :43:49. | :43:54. | |
Being both British and Asian, I can see it from all sides and I'm trying | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
to make a film that is balanced and fair about everybody who was there | :43:59. | :44:04. | |
in the last days of the Raj, and looking at each person's agenda and | :44:05. | :44:07. | |
showing how the geopolitics of the time shaped what happened in those | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
events. Much like what happens today in the world. You must feel like a | :44:12. | :44:18. | |
bit of a trailblazer, don't you? You are a female director, but a British | :44:19. | :44:21. | |
female Asian director as well, who many will look up to. That is one of | :44:22. | :44:27. | |
the most important things for me, now I am going out talking about the | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
film, and going to cinema was all over the country, I am going to | :44:32. | :44:38. | |
Bradford next week, and Edinburgh and Leicester and Nottingham and all | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
over, and it is when young people, to me and they say, I have seen all | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
your films, I want to be like you, that Israeli important to me, | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
because it has been 25 years since my first film Bhaji On The Beach, | :44:52. | :45:03. | |
and I want to set more films about ourselves from my perspective, and I | :45:04. | :45:09. | |
want other people to make them. So it is frustrating, and I feel that | :45:10. | :45:12. | |
we are missing out on a lot of stories in the British film industry | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
by not letting other people have their voices, and it's not that | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
people are not trying, the BFI have some great initiatives towards that, | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
but I just think it is very hard to make a film, and British audiences | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
really need to understand that when a British film-maker makes a film, | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
they have got to come out and support us, because our industry is | :45:33. | :45:35. | |
being suffocated by Hollywood. Bums on seats. This is what | :45:36. | :45:44. | |
Here's what happened when the Viceroy's Hindu | :45:45. | :45:45. | |
servant Jeet, asked Aalia, a Muslim woman working | :45:46. | :45:47. | |
she doesn't want to dance. Sako he wasn't doing anything. It's fine. | :45:48. | :45:59. | |
You dance with your own kind. My own kind? Have some respect! | :46:00. | :46:09. | |
You really get a sense of the tension. You mentioned sumptuous, it | :46:10. | :46:40. | |
really is. Filmed in the locations that this happened. Yes, we actually | :46:41. | :46:48. | |
shot in Viceroy's House. A beautifully designed building. It | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
was made to house the British in India for another 200 years, I'm | :46:54. | :46:59. | |
sure, when he finished it 17 years before independence. I'm sure he | :47:00. | :47:01. | |
thought the British would-be there for a lot longer. It is a beautiful | :47:02. | :47:10. | |
building. We also shot at the maharaja palace for all of the | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
interiors. If you like that kind of British Raj it is that movie. You | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
get a fabulous taste of opulent India. At the same time, we see the | :47:22. | :47:29. | |
servants downstairs. So you get the ordinary story, the ordinary people, | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
like my grandmother, and how they, sort of commerce offered, I guess, | :47:34. | :47:36. | |
as decisions were being made upstairs. -- sort of, suffered. | :47:37. | :47:48. | |
Thank you so much. If you would like to be one of those bums on a seat... | :47:49. | :47:58. | |
Viceroy's House will be in cinemas from Friday. | :47:59. | :48:00. | |
President Donald Trump's first month in office has had its moments - | :48:01. | :48:03. | |
spats with the media, a fall-out with intelligence advisors, | :48:04. | :48:05. | |
and his controversial travel ban suffered a high-profile | :48:06. | :48:07. | |
Overnight, the President addressed Congress for the first time, | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
setting out his plans for the year ahead. | :48:13. | :48:14. | |
In a moment, we'll assess how significant this speech | :48:15. | :48:16. | |
is and what it tells us about the new government's | :48:17. | :48:18. | |
First here's a selection of key moments. | :48:19. | :48:22. | |
We cannot allow a beachhead of terrorism to form inside America. We | :48:23. | :48:32. | |
cannot allow our territory to become a sanctuary for terrorists. | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
APPLAUSE That is why my administration has | :48:39. | :48:44. | |
been working on improved vetting procedures, and we will shortly take | :48:45. | :48:48. | |
new steps to keep our nation safe and to keep those out who will do us | :48:49. | :48:51. | |
harm. Tonight I'm also calling on this | :48:52. | :48:59. | |
Congress to repeal and replace Obama care. | :49:00. | :49:07. | |
CHEERING -- Obamacare. | :49:08. | :49:14. | |
It is a $1 trillion investment in infrastructure of the US, financed | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
through both public and private capital, created millions of new | :49:20. | :49:21. | |
jobs. APPLAUSE | :49:22. | :49:29. | |
By finally forcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
unemployed, save billions and billions of dollars, and make our | :49:35. | :49:38. | |
communities safer for everyone. We will look back on tonight as when | :49:39. | :49:46. | |
this new chapter of American greatness began. We just need the | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
courage to share the dreams that fill our hearts. The bravery to | :49:51. | :49:57. | |
express the hopes. And the confidence to turn those hopes and | :49:58. | :49:59. | |
those dreams into action. Scott Lucas is a professor | :50:00. | :50:01. | |
of American studies at the University of Birmingham | :50:02. | :50:03. | |
and he joins us now. A grand contrast in style. That was | :50:04. | :50:14. | |
the main thing to notice about the way he went about this. | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
It wasn't a Donald Trump speech. It was written for him. Therefore, for | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
the first time he is reading off a prompter. And he is appearing | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
presidential, rather than conversational. It could have been | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
written for Ronald Reagan, the revival of the American spirit, the | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
time of greatness. But if you read between the lines, distilled the | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
same trap, and there are still the same questions about where we are | :50:40. | :50:46. | |
going. -- the same Trump. Do you see a mellowing as a presidential tone? | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
Some people have said this has been his most presidential moment so far. | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
He usually comes off the top of his head. That can come across | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
aggressive. They quite clearly wants to sell a different Trump. Because | :51:02. | :51:05. | |
they've got to reach out to get their legislation through. It is | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
incredibly vague on policies. This idea Rolf repealing -- this idea of | :51:10. | :51:18. | |
repealing Obamacare, we stood don't know how he's going to do that. The | :51:19. | :51:25. | |
example that immigrants are the reason for an increase in crime and | :51:26. | :51:29. | |
a reduction in wages, that isn't actually true, but what he will do | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
might affect immigration. We still have advisers like Steve Barron who | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
want this America first approach. To the point where Trump says, I'm not | :51:40. | :51:44. | |
representing the world, I am representing America. Well, what | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
does that mean for the rest of us? Talking of legislation on how do the | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
numbers stack up, will he be able to get legislation through? That is two | :51:53. | :51:59. | |
different questions. Go with both of them. It is like a myth and reality. | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
First, the numbers are so abstract. He was talking about a tax cut. That | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
would cost $5 trillion to implement. Then he said maybe we will have a | :52:10. | :52:16. | |
more limited one. Yesterday he said he wouldn't get one. Can he get | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
legislation through? I think is trying to reach out to more | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
Republicans. The issues such as his alleged ties to Russia come if he | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
comes up with something sensible on health care and on the economy, | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
maybe there is a way forward. -- the issues such as his alleged ties to | :52:35. | :52:39. | |
Russia, if he comes up with. We will wait to find out if he starts up the | :52:40. | :52:44. | |
controversy in that matter. The Democrats were firmly sat. The | :52:45. | :52:50. | |
Republicans were standing. As expected. Will he win over the | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
opponents? I don't think so. And the question is whether Trump wants to. | :52:56. | :53:03. | |
In contrast to previous presidents, Trump and his bass have said, look, | :53:04. | :53:06. | |
that appealed to the people who voted for us and we will consider | :53:07. | :53:12. | |
anybody who was not with us, such a state media, Democrats who would be | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
threatening the country, Obama behind the protests against me, that | :53:17. | :53:24. | |
doesn't look like he wants to win over the Democrats. Thank you very | :53:25. | :53:25. | |
much. Here's Carol with a look | :53:26. | :53:27. | |
at this morning's weather. I have some lovely pictures. Look at | :53:28. | :53:37. | |
this great big daffodil from Wembley. And more daffodils, quiet, | :53:38. | :53:43. | |
still weather. A beautiful day in Edinburgh, albeit cold. And a lovely | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
start of the day in Cumbria. There is a lot of dry weather around. | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
Quite a bit of sunshine. Some showers here and there. And we have | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
a front coming in from the south-west, already introducing some | :53:58. | :54:00. | |
rain. The rain will extend across southern counties into Kent, East | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
Anglia, and also through parts of the Midlands and South Wales. Away | :54:04. | :54:08. | |
from that, there will be some showers, but there will be a lot of | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
dry weather, as well. Into Scotland this afternoon, some showers across | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
the North. Some of those will be wintry. Lots of sunshine around. | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
Temperatures up to about six Celsius. For Northern Ireland, the | :54:22. | :54:24. | |
odd shower this afternoon with some sunshine. Eventually the crowd will | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
build. We will see rain much later. Sunshine and showers for most of | :54:30. | :54:36. | |
England. A lot of sunshine through Derby and into East Anglia. Then | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
this weather front produces all of this rain across South Wales, the | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
South Midlands, into the likes of Essex and Kent, as well. Tonight, | :54:45. | :54:49. | |
behind that band of rain, the winds will strengthen. The rain will be | :54:50. | :54:53. | |
progressing northwards. As it engages with cold air it'll fall as | :54:54. | :55:07. | |
hill Snow. Inland, we are looking at gusts of 60 mph. Around the coast, | :55:08. | :55:14. | |
60 to 70 mph. Those kind of wind speeds can break off branches, | :55:15. | :55:17. | |
debris could be flying around the roads and it'll make tricky | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
travelling conditions for high sided and light vehicles. It'll also be | :55:23. | :55:25. | |
coupled with this band of rain moving north. As it hits the cold | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
air in Wales, North Midlands com parts of northern England, and parts | :55:31. | :55:33. | |
of Northern Ireland, we will see it fall as snow, and even at lower | :55:34. | :55:40. | |
levels for there is the risk of that happening. There is the risk of ice | :55:41. | :55:49. | |
and lows of one Celsius. The winds will slowly abate. It'll still be a | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
windy day, just not as windy as overnight. And there will be lots of | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
sunshine around. There will be a peppering of more showers across the | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
North and west. Then our next front comes in from the south-west, | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
bringing rain into North Wales and Northern Ireland. Still cool in the | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
north. Molder for the South as we are in double figures. -- milder for | :56:10. | :56:17. | |
the South. Thanks very much, Carol. | :56:18. | :56:22. | |
Camping in Scotland might conjure images of wild landscapes | :56:23. | :56:24. | |
and freedom but pitching your tent on the wrong spot from today | :56:25. | :56:27. | |
After crude attempts to cut firewood, rubbish strewn campsites | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
and ant-social behaviour camping has been banned on some of the most | :56:32. | :56:34. | |
Our reporter James Shaw is in Sallochy Bay, | :56:35. | :56:37. | |
It is just the most fabulous place. Good morning again. | :56:38. | :56:41. | |
No doubting the incredible natural beauty of this location. Behind me | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
you can see the margins of these ancient, at Atlantic Woodlands | :56:47. | :56:55. | |
dropping off into the loch, and you can see the woodland the other way. | :56:56. | :56:58. | |
This is what is causing the issue. Loch Lomond, the largest inland body | :56:59. | :57:05. | |
of water in Britain, drawing in millions | :57:06. | :57:08. | |
of visitors every year. Without doubt one of | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
the jewels in the crown These pictures, holiday snaps | :57:14. | :57:15. | |
from hell you might call them, record the damage that has been | :57:16. | :57:22. | |
done in previous years. Which is why the Park Authority | :57:23. | :57:28. | |
wants to bring in by-laws which will control wild camping | :57:29. | :57:31. | |
in the busiest areas. This is a kind of typical example | :57:32. | :57:38. | |
of people coming along and trying to get themselves some firewood | :57:39. | :57:41. | |
that's maybe a bit bigger The sheer volume of folk can end up | :57:42. | :57:43. | |
being damaging in itself. If you mix that with a bit | :57:44. | :57:48. | |
of anti-social behaviour then sites We've got some of the most wonderful | :57:49. | :57:51. | |
landscapes you can imagine here and you can see why | :57:52. | :57:55. | |
people come and enjoy it, so we want the sites to match | :57:56. | :57:58. | |
that while they're here. From today anyone wild camping | :57:59. | :58:04. | |
in managed areas along the shores of the most popular lochs | :58:05. | :58:06. | |
within the park could face a fine Wild camping enthusiasts see that | :58:07. | :58:09. | |
as a breach of Scotland's legal They believe the Park Authority | :58:10. | :58:17. | |
should focus on educating people There are things that the rangers | :58:18. | :58:25. | |
and the authorities can do They already can fine | :58:26. | :58:33. | |
people for littering, There's no need to create this | :58:34. | :58:35. | |
by-law which criminalises people who aren't doing it | :58:36. | :58:41. | |
the wrong way to. And let's be honest, | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
it is a small number of people And with the new restrictions | :58:46. | :58:52. | |
there could be a lot of disappointed The idea of Scotland | :58:53. | :58:56. | |
when I first came here No matter where you are, | :58:57. | :59:00. | |
just say that that's the law You come up here for the fact it's | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
untented, and you can go wherever If it's in a designated area, | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
they can still come, they can still camp, | :59:09. | :59:13. | |
they can still enjoy it but everyone People coming with kids, | :59:14. | :59:16. | |
animals and there's not This is the only location | :59:17. | :59:19. | |
on the east side of Loch Lomond where wild camping | :59:20. | :59:28. | |
will be permitted. The question is, will people know | :59:29. | :59:32. | |
about these new controls and how strictly are they | :59:33. | :59:35. | |
going to be enforced? The new by-laws will be | :59:36. | :59:39. | |
reviewed in three years. So, for the wild campers, this | :59:40. | :59:42. | |
is a fight which is not over yet. James Shaw, BBC News, | :59:43. | :59:47. | |
on the banks of Loch Lomond. Well, we have with us two people who | :59:48. | :59:58. | |
take very different views on this issue. Danny Carlton from the | :59:59. | :00:04. | |
Ramblers Association Scotland and Gordon Watson, the chief executive | :00:05. | :00:07. | |
of the national park. Danny, why do you object to what Gordon is trying | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
to do? I am just really disappointed that the park has chosen to impose a | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
ban on free camping. The most popular areas of the park at the | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
time people want to come here. It is a beautiful area, and bylaws will | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
result in fewer people getting to enjoy it. Yes there have been | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
issues, but they could being confronted through enforcement of | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
existing laws and providing low-cost campsites. How do you respond to | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
that? The bylaws are concentrated on 4% of the park area, the busiest | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
parks by roadsides where we see the heaviest amount of camping, and our | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
rule is to protect the environment as well as access, so what we try to | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
do is get camping in balance with the environment, manage the volume | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
and get behaviour is changed so that we can set responsible camping. You | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
must be worried, Danny, that this set and a marker that there could be | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
more controls on the future? We are, we want to ensure... This is a big | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
area that is covered, and we don't want to see people moving onto | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
different areas in Scotland, we want to see this monitored. We will be | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
monitoring the effects of this, and we hope to see the great success we | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
have had right here in East Loch Lomond where all sorts of people are | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
coming back to camp, canoe, walk, and we want to see that in other | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
areas that have these problems. Janney, Gordon, thank you both very | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
much. And this is the last that we are going to see of Loch Lomond this | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
morning, so take a good, long look. This is the last you will get this | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
morning at least. It has been absolutely my favourite | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
part of the programme today. So lovely. I think we might try to | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
squeeze in one more look before we go. Some people are suggesting I | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
should swim across it. For charity, go on! I will be in a | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
boat beside you. Do you remember the Pokemon | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
craze last summer? After 45 million people played, | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
it quickly lost its appeal. So what next for those little | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
animated characters? Are you playing it now? I am new to | :02:17. | :02:26. | |
all of this, I am not one of the 45 million people who played it first | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
time around. I am going to check whether there are any around here. | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Let's have a look and see if there are any. There we go! We have a | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
little friends sat on the edge of the studio here, we may try to catch | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
him a little later, but you are right, huge craze at the time, 45 | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
million people playing it. It was an overnight success for Nintendo, | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
which had really struggled, wasn't doing well, came up with this | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
concept, value the firm at ?20 billion overnight. So we have been | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
catching up with the inventor, the man behind all of this, and finding | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
out whether he expected it to be such a success, and what it has | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
meant to him since. I wish I could have predicted it. It | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
was a huge surprise to us. We spent a good deal of town looking at our | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
dashboards that were going haywire with all of the traffic. It was | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
orders of magnitude beyond what we were anticipating, so it was hard | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
for us to keep the system operating. In San Francisco, there was a 9000 | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
persons by Cheney is Pokemon event, pouring down onto the central area. | :03:33. | :03:41. | |
And surreal to have a little Pokemon in the studio. He is just listening | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
along, bouncing around. Did he ask our permission? I don't think he is | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
approved to be here at this time in the morning. Maybe I will get him | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
later. I am reliably informed that this is a Squirtle. The overnight | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
success came with a downturn, because you had groups of people | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
walking around the street, and there was one guy in the middle of the | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
night near Buckingham Palace, up and down The Mall try to catch these | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
things. So the success as for another cliff, going from 45 million | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
users, then down to 20, still the sort of figures that many tech | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
figures would want, but there is a worry that it has been a bit of an | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
overnight success, a one-hit wonder, so we put that to John Hanke as well | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
to see whether there is more life left in it yet. To be like that, it | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
is going to fade, it exploded on social media, had a life of its own, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
and now it has become a very successful product, but not at that | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
level of frenzy, but it is one of the most used mobile apps out there. | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
I think capturing Pokemon earlier today, last Sunday before I flew | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
over, I was with my son who is ten, I was in the local park and we had a | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
wonderful time and it was a beautiful day, we were at capturing | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Pokemon together, so it is a great thing to do as a family. That is | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
John Hanke talking about the benefits, and a lot of people | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
saying, it was getting people outside, so rather than sitting | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
inside, this was great, but it wasn't without controversy, because | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
there was concern that it was leading groups of kids into places | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
they shouldn't be, and whether their parents really knew where they were. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
I am going to have a go, so I am told I have got to... Oh, I see. | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
You courted? We missed that. I have got him. Squirtle was caught. Let me | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
see if there are any more. Don't mind me. | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
This is going wonderfully well. I think I am going to add my name in | :06:01. | :06:15. | |
there, yes, I want to be called Ben. Oh, come on! | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
I think that gives you an explainer. Then? | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
LAUGHTER Let me see if I can find a more. | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
This is all planned out beautifully. I think we will leave him to it. He | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
is having a conversation with himself now! Thank you, Ben, we will | :06:36. | :06:42. | |
see you later. He is just wandering aimlessly around the studio at the | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
moment. We will leave him there for the rest of the day! | :06:46. | :08:23. | |
I'll be back at 1:30pm with the lunchtime news. | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
Welcome back, everybody. For some children and parents in England and | :08:28. | :08:39. | |
Wales today, there will be relief at finding out they've got into the | :08:40. | :08:40. | |
secondary school of their choice. For others there may | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
be disappointment. The Good Schools Guide predicts that | :08:48. | :08:48. | |
1 in 6 children in England will miss The problem is expected to be | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
worse than last year, due to an extra 15,000 applications | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
for secondary school places. And according to the charity | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
Teach First, poorer pupils are 25 per cent less likely | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
to attend outstanding schools. Fiona O'Sullivan is the headteacher | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
at Oasis Academy in Salford, Greater Manchester - | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
a school which was previously rated as "inadequate", | :09:08. | :09:08. | |
but is now rated as "good". Before we talk about school places, | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
how'd you turn a school like that around? What have you done? It was a | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
two-year journey, lots of hard work, but lots of support and partnership | :09:22. | :09:27. | |
work. I work for a very strong and successful trust, the oasis | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
community learning trust, and a very clear focus really on vision and | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
values about ensuring that every young person can achieve their very | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
best. So we have had a culture of high expectation and ambition for | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
all of our children. So your school used to be quite away down the | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
choice list, and I'm sure you appreciate the position many parents | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
and pupils find themselves this morning. How do you see it, this | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
situation where one in six are not finding themselves in the school | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
they want their kids to being? I realise it is disappointing for | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
parents when they received the news they have not got their first | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
choice, but don't write off the alternatives. We were not first | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
choice for a lot of parents in the past, that is changing as our | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
reputation grows, but it takes time to change the minds of people in the | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
community and to really provide that confidence for parents and children. | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
I'd say research all the schools, look at the Ofsted reports, be | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
aware, though, that those reports can be several years out of date. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
It's possible to look up the data for schools' performance on the | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Department for Education website, but most of all, talk to the staff | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
and children, go and visit the school, ideally during the school | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
day. We invite parents to come in while the school is in operation, | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
not just for open evenings and parents evenings but providing | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
opportunities to see what we are really like, and I think really, our | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
children are our best ambassadors, so opportunities to speak to the | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
children about their experience. And presumably you know how many were | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
choosing yours is a first choice, have most of the managed to get a | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
place? How has it worked? Our first choices have increased dramatically, | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
which we are proud about. We still have work to do, we have number of | :11:17. | :11:25. | |
rubles allocated -- pupils allocated as second or third choices, and we | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
write to them. So they know that you know that they haven't been first on | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
the list? Yes, and we hope that the experience of visiting the school | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
and seeing how we work will really help to provide that confidence. Is | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
there a gap between disadvantaged families and the quality of | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
education, and is that a concern? I know that nationally it is. I know | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
that Teach First have done research, but I would say that in my own | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
school, one of our great strength is that we have narrowed that gap, so | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
our disadvantaged young people have I informed their peers. So it can be | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
turned around? It is possible, yes. And how do you choose who gets into | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
your school? Is it down to choices, or do you have a catchment area? It | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
is parental preference. The old system of catchment area has now | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
gone. Parents can choose, there are priorities depending on whether they | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
have siblings in the school. Some schools for religious faith schools | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
they have particular selection criteria, but the schools such as | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
mine which is a community school, we take whoever wishes to come to us | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
from our local community. It seems that even if you haven't got your | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
first choice, don't panic, accept that are then assess your options? | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
Absolutely. And people feel very strongly about it, and if they | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
haven't got into their first choice, would you recommend that they do | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
also appeal as well as looking at the other schools? Absolutely, that | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
is a parent's right to go down that route, but I would say, do the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
research and talk to people and find out what the experience is like for | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
young people. As I say, it can take several years for perceptions in the | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
community to change, and it isn't always what it may one appear. | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
Congratulations on turning your school around. Thank you. | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
I will be back with Charlie tomorrow morning. I've been replaced! Here's | :13:21. | :13:29. | |
one last look at Loch Lomond. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you | :13:30. | :13:30. |
