And the not so bonny banks of Loch Lomond -

why wild campers are no longer welcome.

:01:34.:01:37.

It looks like they are. Cowell has the rest of the weather. Happy St

:01:38.:01:46.

David's Day. It is a chilly start, the risk of ice. Already some rain

:01:47.:01:50.

coming into the south-west. Behind it in the south, it will become very

:01:51.:01:55.

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

:14:20.: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.

Breakfast from BBC News. a renewal of the American spirit

:17:34.:17:35.

in his first speech to Congress. Drivers caught using a phone

:17:36.:17:45.

within two years of passing their test will have their licence

:17:46.:17:48.

revoked under new rules in England, Let's have a look at the papers, Ben

:17:49.:18:03.

and Sally are with us. Let's start with some of the front pages, this

:18:04.:18:08.

is the front page of the Times this morning. Philip Green is on the

:18:09.:18:12.

front page of many of the papers, made to pay for the biggest ever

:18:13.:18:16.

pension deal and we will talk about that later with Ben and this is a

:18:17.:18:20.

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.

Were you about to say Hermione? I was, I went all Harry Potter. And a

:19:03.:19:07.

beastly link to 11 cancers -- obesity linked. The front page of

:19:08.:19:12.

the Daily Telegraph, children as young as four will be given sex and

:19:13.:19:15.

relationship education to warn them about the dangers of the Internet.

:19:16.:19:21.

There's a court case about the CAROLINE: Brothers and lots of

:19:22.:19:24.

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

: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

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.

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

than Ferrari's Kimi Raikonnen. McLaren continue to

:39:01.:39:03.

struggle with reliability. They managed just 40 laps

: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

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

of the United States. This platform is new territory for this political

For that reason we will soon begin the construction of a great, great

us now from Washington. A busy night as well. Probably the

: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

that $1 trillion infrastructure plan which will go down well for States

Donald Trump has been one of the most divisive presidents so far. He

at length a little bit later. Two women have appeared in court

there was strict security Huge security. Heavily armed police,

women were led in separately. They stood side-by-side in the charge was

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.

Steve Evans, thank you very much indeed.

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.

Today is a very important one for parents and children

The Good Schools Guide predicts that 1 in 6 children

:11:10.:11:12.

The problem is expected to be worse than last year,

which is said to have been driven by a rising birth rate.

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 -

all of whom were cheered across the line by some

This is the winning moment of the Dean crossing the line. Berridge 's,

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

so-called roaming charges Searches for flights

: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

in New York 32% cheaper. It doesn't take account

however of weak sterling which means our pound

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

against the travel firm. Suzanne Evans lost her eldest son,

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

as his most presidential speech so far, Donald Trump has promised

:30:26.:30:27.

a new chapter of American greatness in his

saying the time for "trivial In an hour-long speech,

: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

about his future in the White House Drivers caught using their phone

badly so I will not do it again. Good. I'm glad it didn't rain as

that up? Oh! I am over here. Did I confuse you all by moving? Sorry

:36:30.:36:34.

The RFU have created a new Women's Super League to start

:36:35.:36:40.

in September with 10 domestic teams including Wasps and Bristol Ladies.

:36:41.:36:44.

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.

There wasn't too much rustiness in his first match back at the Dubai

:37:21.:37:26.

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

people for littering, There's no need to create this

:53:28.:53:33.

by-law which criminalises people who aren't doing it

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.

breathing a sigh of relief. Earlier our Washington

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

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

: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

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

the specific circumstances They say, as an industry they have

adapted and we will need President Donald Trump has promised

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.

come this morning, protecting Scotland's National Parks or

:26:49.:26:49.

damaging campers rights? We are Plenty more on our website

:26:50.:30:14.

at the usual address. Now, though, it's back

:30:15.:30:16.

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.
