Too few detectives and insufficient action to track | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
A new report warns about the state of the police | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
The body which oversees policing standards says some forces | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
are putting the public at unacceptable risk. | :00:18. | :00:37. | |
Good morning, it's Thursday the second of March. | :00:38. | :00:38. | |
They have voted contents, 358. Not contents, 256. So the contents have | :00:39. | :00:54. | |
it. The first defeat | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
for the Brexit Bill Now government sources say ministers | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
will try and overturn Good morning. One in four of us will | :00:59. | :01:07. | |
face a mental health problem at some time in our lives, but is business | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
doing enough to support its staff? I'm here at the rather grand | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
Institute of directors, it represents thousands of companies, | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
to find out if they could be doing more. | :01:20. | :01:19. | |
In sport, I'm at a golf club to find out how proposed major rule changes | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
And British cycling admits serious failings | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
as they are criticised by the UK Anti-Doping agency. | :01:27. | :01:32. | |
After the biggest blunder the Oscars has ever seen, | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
two accountants behind the mix up are told they'll never work | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
Good morning. Currently we have a band of rain, sleet and snow in the | :01:39. | :01:53. | |
central swathe of the UK, fading through the morning. A lot of dry | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
weather and sunshine around today and wintry showers in the north, and | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
the gusty winds we've had in the south will also slowly ease. More | :02:02. | :02:02. | |
details later on. Carol, thank you. Victims are being let down | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
according to a report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
of Constabulary found a third of forces needed improvement, | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
while a small number were putting the public at unacceptable risk | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
by rationing services Here's our home affairs | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
correspondent, Dominic Casciani. The cornerstone of British policing, | :02:21. | :02:38. | |
the bobby on the beat. But in these vital community posts are eroded | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
as... After five years of budget cuts, some forces aren't making the | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
right tough calls over how to use their resources. It's raised what it | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
calls a red warning flag to those struggling forces. Some have been | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
downgrading Nice nine calls if they're short on officers. That | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
means they don't have to respond as quickly. The Her Majesty's Revenue | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
and Customs also says domestic violence calls to some forces have | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
been downgraded because of lack of specialist officers. Other forces | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
have ignored leads on organised crime because it would stretch their | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
resources. Only Durham is delivering outstanding policing. Neighbourhood | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
policing, but proactive, preventative presence of police | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
officers in communities is eroding even further so that means they're | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
not stopping crime from happening in the first place and that's what the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
public want to see. This isn't in all forces, many forces still have a | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
really great service in that area, but some forces are beginning to | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
take officers out of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas, | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
and we're saying absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
can't be allowed to happen. The Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs says | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
over most forces are doing well, but a third may be placing the public at | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
unacceptable risk by rationing their resources. Sanjeev Gupta doubles | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
believe the inspectors have got it wrong but their national council | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
says each force is facing difficult decisions over what matters most. -- | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
some believe. Her Majesty's Inspectorate -- Dominic Casciani, | :04:22. | :04:22. | |
BBC News. In a statement, the Home Office | :04:23. | :04:23. | |
said that a number of forces still have more work | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
to do, and that this Government has protected police funding, | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
through the 2015 Spending Review. There can be no excuse for any force | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
that fails to deliver Ministers will seek to overturn last | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
night's defeat in the House of Lords on Brexit legislation according | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
to government sources. Peers defied ministers | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
when they voted by a large margin to guarantee the rights | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
of EU nationals living The government said | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
it was disappointed at the first Our political correspondent | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Carol Walker has the latest on this. What happens now? This was a setback | :04:50. | :05:02. | |
for the government, it wanted the legislation through unscathed as | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
quickly as possible and the scale of the defeat last night I think will | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
embolden its critics. Essentially this was a debate that divided | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
between those who said the government has a moral case to | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
provide certainty and security for some 3 million EU citizens living in | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
the UK, and those who said, look, the government has said it's going | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
to do that as a priority but only part of a wider reciprocal deal that | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
also ensures the rights of more than 1 million British citizens living | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
across the European Union. Now, this bill has to go back to the Commons. | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
The government will be reasonably confident that it can overturn this | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
defeat. But the bill isn't through the Lord's yet, it still could face | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
further defeats on this legislation, and of course this is supposed to be | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
a short straightforward bill to begin the Brexit negotiations. The | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
government's already having a battle on this, there's going to be much | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
more complex legislation as we disentangle British law from EU law, | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
and I think it's a foretaste of the sort of struggles within Parliament | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
the government is going to face over the next two years. Carol, thank you | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
very much. Thank you. Nearly two-thirds of England's | :06:14. | :06:14. | |
hospitals have been rated as inadequate or needing improvement | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
in a major new study The report by the Care | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Quality Commission also found that four | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
out of five trusts need But more than 90% were judged | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
to be good or outstanding It's the first wide-ranging snapshot | :06:27. | :06:39. | |
of the state of England's major hospitals. The regulator the CQC | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
spent nearly three years carrying out inspections following the Mid | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
Staffordshire patient care scandal. This is the first annual report on | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
all of them. One of the key findings is the wide variation in the quality | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
of services. Across the major hospital trusts in England, 68% have | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
been rated as inadequate or requiring improvement. 81% of trusts | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
are said to need to improve safety. But 93% were rated as good or | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
outstanding for the caring attitude of staff. There is variation between | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
trusts, there is variation within trusts, you can get a very good | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
service within a trust that's struggling or you can get an | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
individual service that is not doing so well in an otherwise good trust. | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
Praise is given to some trusts which have made significant improvements, | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
including university hospitals Bristol. The first to go from | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
requiring improvement direct to outstanding from two inspections. I | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
think the findings of the report are very positive for us. I think in the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
report it acknowledges a lot of the hard work that this department does | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
and a very positive culture for providing patient care that we have | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
here. The Department of Health said the conference of inspections formed | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
a key part of a plan to make the NHS is the safest and most transparent | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
healthcare system in the world. Hugh Pym, BBC News. | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
We'll hear from England's Chief Inspector of Hospitals | :08:05. | :08:11. | |
Senior opponents of President Trump are calling for his newly appointed | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
It's over two undisclosed encounters Jeff Sessions had | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
with the Russian ambassador during the recent presidential | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
Mr Sessions oversees the FBI, which is currently investigating | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
The White House maintains there was no improper contact. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
Voters in Northern Ireland go to the polls today for the second | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
This Assembly Election was called after the resignation | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
of former Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
228 candidates are competing for 90 seats | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
across Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies. | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
Ministers say that the government's delayed 25-year plan for improving | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
England's natural spaces should be published immediately. | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
The Strategy for Nature was due to be released last summer. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Now the Commons Environmental Audit Committee says that Defra needs | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
to make its intentions clear, before Brexit negotiations | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
The Government says it's committed to building on a long history | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
The head of the Oscars says the two accountants responsible for muddling | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
up the main award envelopes at Sunday's ceremony will never | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
La La Land was wrongly named Best Picture instead of Moonlight. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
It's been described as the biggest mistake in 89 years | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Our LA correspondent James Cook has sent this report. | :09:35. | :09:47. | |
The president of the academy and is, arts and sciences has effectively | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
blamed the two accountants who were employed by the Oscars to check the | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
integrity of the results. -- academy of arts. Although it seems as though | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
it was Mr Cullinan at fault, he's been accused of tweeting a picture | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
in the moments before he should have been checking the best picture | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
award. Emma Stone had just come off stage having received her Oscar for | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
La La Land and supposedly Mr Cullinan was taking a photograph of | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
her rather than attending to his work. The result was that he handed | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
over the wrong envelope to the present as Warren Beatty and Faye | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
Dunaway and Bonnie and Clyde went onto the stage and of course we all | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
my what happened next. The academy says it is reviewing its | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
relationship with the accountancy firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, a | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
relationship that goes all the way back to 1934 in terms of counting | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
and checking the results of the Oscars. It's been reported here that | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
the two partners of PricewaterhouseCoopers in question, | :10:48. | :10:50. | |
they are senior partners with the firm, that they are not going to | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
lose their jobs with that company. But, you have to think that in an | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
industry which is entirely built in its reputational terms on being | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
precise, on being accurate, on being reliable, you have to wonder whether | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
these two people will ever live this down. | :11:09. | :11:09. | |
They say that elephants never forget but it seems | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
A new study of African elephants in the wild has revealed | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
they sleep on average for just two hours a night. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
It's the shortest amount time recorded of any mammal on Earth. | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Researchers say it could be down to the threat posed | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
They also play football but they don't sleep much! | :11:26. | :11:38. | |
If you're a golf lover, you'll know that the rules | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
However, new proposals have been unveiled for the biggest shake-up | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
of the rules of golf in a generation. | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
Let's go live to Sally, who's at Mere Golf Club | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
Good morning. Good morning. You are right, radical, radical changes are | :11:59. | :12:06. | |
being proposed as the whole idea is to make the game faster, to move it | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
a long a bit wicker and maybe perhaps simpler by, reducing the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
number of official rules as well -- quicker. To encourage beginners at | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
golf like me to become more committed and perhaps be less | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
confused when they start out. We're going to explain the new rules and | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
how they might affect you if you're a golfer through the morning at this | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
lovely golf club. We're just waiting for the sun to come up and in the | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
next ten minutes we'll be outside on the greens to catch the early | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
morning golfers, the really keen once. I'm really looking forward to | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
that! The main story today in sport: British Cycling and Team | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
Sky have been heavily criticised for their record keeping | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
by the woman in charge Nicole Sapstead was giving evidence | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
to a group of MPs about wrong doing Manchester City are through to | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
the quarter finals of the FA Cup their replay against Huddersfield | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Town. including two goals from Sergio | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
Aguero. They'll play Middlesborough | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
in the last eight. Celtic move another step closer | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
to the Scottish Premiership title. A 4-0 win over bottom side | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Inverness Caledonian Thistle puts of the Dubai International | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
after a comfortable straight But fellow Brit Dan Evans went | :13:19. | :13:29. | |
out of the tournament. One of the rule changes, the golf | :13:30. | :13:39. | |
rule changes, I will be talking about this morning concerns these. | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
Lovely new shiny golf balls. If you just bought yourself a golf ball, | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
they're about ?3, they can be a bit more expensive, though, and one of | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
the proposed mural changes, instead of having five minutes to search for | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
a lost ball you'll only have three minutes. If you've just spent ?3 on | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
one of those you're going to be under a bit more pressure, quite | :14:01. | :14:07. | |
expensive if you've bought a pack! We will talk about that and the | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
other rule changes, the changes to the game and what they mean for | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
players up and down the country. I expect people will be delighted | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
perhaps but also in sense by that. Thank you very much for that and we | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
will be with you through the morning. | :14:22. | :14:21. | |
It is time now to say good morning to Carol. Good morning to both of | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
you. If you're just a thing outside then it is a nippy start to the day | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
for many parts of the country, it's also breezy but still windy in the | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
south and a bit of rain in the forecast, but not just rain, sleet | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
and snow as well. You can see yesterday's system pushing away, one | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
in the central swathe of the country and another in the far north of | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Scotland, this one is producing showers but in Northern Ireland, | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
north Wales, north Midlands and northern England we have rain, sleet | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
and snow. Particularly across parts of Cheshire and Lancashire. Through | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
the morning that will fizzle a bit and we will see it replaced by | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
showers. A few showers in the south but into the afternoon, although you | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
could catch one, many will miss them and we're looking at a dry day with | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
sunny skies and the wind continuing to abate. Into Wales, a similar | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
story, a few showers. Northern England, a few showers. Northern | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Ireland, cloud in over a touch from the south-west ahead of a weather | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
front. Some showers in Scotland, mostly on the hills, they are likely | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
to be wintry at lower levels, in between some sunny skies. Here comes | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
the rain across Northern Ireland with hill snow, that will go | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
eastwards and north through the night. Have rain and hill snow in | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
northern England and parts of Scotland for a time. -- we have. | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
Banex system comes across towards the south bringing rain that the | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
next system. Cold enough for highs on damp surfaces in parts of the | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
north. -- the next system. -- cold enough for highs. Here comes the | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
rain tomorrow, again pushing in from the south, moving north. -- cold | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
enough for highs. Moving through the Midlands, heading up through parts | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
of East Anglia and in the direction of Hull. Tomorrow the best of the | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
weather if you like it dry and sunny will be Northern Scotland with | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
Aberdeen seeing highs of seven, much of the north seeing six, seven or | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
eight and as we come further south, we're looking at between ten and 12. | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
Then as we head through to the weekend, we're still dominated by | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
low pressure, look at the length of the front extending down to the | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
Mediterranean bringing rain and snow to parts of Italy and snow to the | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Alps. For us it's bringing in some rain. Here's the front extending to | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
the Nick Compton and all the way through northern England, eastern | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
England, through Scotland and Northern Ireland -- the near | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
continent. Behind it we will have bright spells and sunshine but we | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
will have some showers coming in from the south-west. Word | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
temperatures, eight, nine, ten, just ahead of it, 4-6. Into the weekend, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
the unsettled theme continues. We're still very much dominated by low | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
pressure, rain coming in at times to the south and also the north but | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
some dry weather in between as well so not a complete write-off by any | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
stretch. Well done. We will see you later. | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
We will look at the papers in just a few moments. | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
You are watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
The main stories this morning: Victims are being let down | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales, | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
according to a report from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
Government sources say ministers will seek to overturn last night's | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Peers voted for an amendment to guarantee the rights of EU | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
We are going to have a quick look at some of the papers this morning, | :17:50. | :18:02. | |
starting with a front page of the Daily Mail. Our lead story this | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
morning as well, these figures in relation to policing in England. The | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
official watchdog says many cases are being shelved without proper | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
investigation and some emergency calls downgraded as victims are left | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
in danger. Orlando Bloom and Kenny Perry have split up, that has made a | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
lot of papers as well. -- Katy Perry. After the Lords vote, Theresa | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
May is described as defiant, determined to push ahead and trigger | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
Article 50 within two weeks. And an interesting story, the Telegraph | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
covering it as well, a groundbreaking new method of safely | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
reviving frozen organs which could, they say, save millions of lives by | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
ending the donor shortage crisis. Researchers have discovered, and | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
this sounds extraordinary, how to rewarm heart valves which have been | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
frozen at lower temperatures. On the front page of the Times, looking at | :19:02. | :19:06. | |

investment dollar Trump is talking about yesterday. The House of Lords | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
vote on the front page of the express, and the story of Richard | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
Whiteley, was he an MI5 spy? Claims Richard Whiteley was a spook and | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
they have a quote from his partner of 11 years, up to his death, saying | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
Ricky is a full, it is nonsense. There you go then. That is what she | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
says. The Sun interested in sausages, saying healthy bangers | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
just as fatty as normal sausages. And a health warning, a Breakfast | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
warning on this one. I was going to go swimming today and I probably | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
still will, but maybe I will think about things differently. What is | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
the reason? The reason is they have done a survey of rules and they have | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
tried to discover how much you're in, to put it politely, is in a | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
pool. It turns out 75 litres in an Olympic sized pool -- urine. They | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
have done various figures, and 19% is the proportion of adults who | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
confessed in an anonymous survey to having been to the loo in the pool, | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
to put it that way. 100% was the proportion of Pools within which a | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
proportion of urine was detected and if you are wondering why there is a | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
picture of Ryan Lochte, US Olympic swimming team member, he has said | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
very openly that he pees in the pool. On the upside, it is worse if | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
you go into a hot tub. Hot tubs are a lot worse, a lot worse. I shall | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
make sure my goggles are firmly fixed to my face. Sorry about that, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
but we thought you needed to know. There will be at least two years | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
of difficult negotiations for the Prime Minister before | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
leaving the European Union, and last night the Government | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
faced its first test in the Lords. More than 100 peers voted | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
against the Government, insisting there should be | :21:26. | :21:27. | |
a guarantee that EU nationals will have the right | :21:28. | :21:29. | |
to stay in the UK. Lord Robert Kerslake | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
voted for the amendment. He joins us now from our | :21:33. | :21:33. | |
Westminster studio. Good morning to you. Thank you very | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
much indeed for joining us. Obviously it is a point of | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
principle, but why disagree with the government on this? The government | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
say they are concerned about these rights but you have a fundamental | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
disagreement. Yes, I think everybody agreed that these are EU citizens | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
that have come to this country in good faith and were making enormous | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
contributions. The question was should we end the uncertainty for | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
them now or throw this issue into the negotiations and seek the | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
bargain it against UK nationals living in Europe. And I think the | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
view of the House of Lords overwhelmingly was that the right | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
thing to do was to try and sort this issue out now and take our own | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
decision. OK, so you have sent it back to the Commons effectively. The | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
likelihood is it will come back to you in the same form. Are we | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
entering an endless ping-pong with this? I don't think it will be | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
endless ping-pong but I do hope the government won't just send it back, | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
and think carefully about the arguments made. It was a long, | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
passionate and very well argued debate. Some excellent points were | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
made, not least of which that the ex- patriot who represent UK people | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
abroad were absolutely clear that they wanted action to be taken now | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
to support EU nationals. They didn't want to be a bargaining chip, and I | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
think that is something that the government should take notice of. I | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
will review the government response. Our position on EU nationals has | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
repeatedly been made clear. We want to guarantee the rights of EU | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
citizens who are already living in Britain and the rights of the dish | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
nationals living in other member states as early as we can. By making | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
it clear now, if it went the way you wanted it, are you not undermining | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
the ability to negotiate? Well, I don't think so. In fact, the risk is | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
here that as soon as we can ends up being two years of EU negotiators | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
decide, and it is very likely that they will, that they want to deal | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
with all the issues together in a single deal. So we have this | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
enormous uncertainty. By the way, this is not just a moral argument. | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
It is an economic argument. We absolutely need the builders, the | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
nurses, the doctors, the care workers, who have come over from | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Europe to work in this country. Indeed, the university academics as | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
well. So this is not a question just of morals. It is a question of what | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
is good for this country as well. And I don't think we can just leave | :24:06. | :24:19. | |
it to chance for a negotiation that hasn't even started yet. And by the | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
way, as I said earlier, if we are interested in what the views of UK | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
nationals abroad is, they are very clear that they would like to see | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
these issues sorted now. I am sure we will talk about this again, thank | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
you. You are watching | :24:33. | :24:32. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Ben is looking at how workplaces | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
are aiming to treat mental health problems as seriously | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
as physical health ones. Good morning, guys. It is one of | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
those things, it is really easy to talk about health and safety at work | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
but the safety part is quite easy for business. It is about stopping | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
accidents, trips and falls and things which you can record on a | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
chart. But health and particularly mental health is much more | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
difficult, because there is often not ones that cause and one set | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
solution, and many of the problems can occur many, many years after | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
people have been in perhaps stressful situations or faced | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
higgledy. So we are in the very grand surroundings of the Institute | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
of directors, which is launching a mental health initiative for its | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
30,000 members, companies up and down the country, about what they | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
can do to support and help staff who may be going through difficult | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
times. So over the course of the morning we will speak to the | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
Institute of Directors, find out what the initiative is about, and | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
what it is hoping to achieve, but we will also hear some personal stories | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
of people who have faced difficulty at work, who are now dealing with | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
depression and anxiety. We will hear those stories at about 20 minutes. | :25:45. | :25:45. | |
Before we do that, I'm back with the latest | :25:46. | :29:04. | |
from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website | :29:05. | :29:14. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it is back | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
to Charlie and Louise. with Louise Minchin and Charlie | :29:19. | :29:20. | |
Stayt. We'll bring you all the latest news | :29:21. | :29:24. | |
and sport in a moment, Splashing colour and | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
creativity on our streets, we'll see why more councils | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
are happy to let street artists opened its doors to a documentary | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
crew for the first time. We'll talk to their concierges | :29:35. | :29:41. | |
about the most outrageous and expensive requests | :29:42. | :29:44. | |
of their guests. And if you're piecing together | :29:45. | :29:45. | |
a last minute fancy dress outfit for your child this morning, | :29:46. | :29:48. | |
you'll know it's World Book Day, but is it encouraging | :29:49. | :29:51. | |
kids to read more? The author Frank Cottrell Boyce | :29:52. | :29:53. | |
will give us his view later. But now a summary of this | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
morning's main news. Victims are being let down | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales | :30:02. | :30:04. | |
according to a report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate | :30:05. | :30:07. | |
of Constabulary found a third It saig a small number were putting | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
the public at unacceptable risk by rationing services | :30:11. | :30:14. | |
as they struggle with cutbacks. Here's our home affairs | :30:15. | :30:16. | |
correspondent, Dominic Casciani. The cornerstone of British policing, | :30:17. | :30:28. | |
the bobby on the beat. But are these vital forces | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
being eroded as forces That's one of the warnings | :30:32. | :30:33. | |
in a stark report from Her Majesty's After five years of budget cuts, | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
some forces aren't making the right tough calls over how | :30:38. | :30:43. | |
to use their resources. It's raised what it | :30:44. | :30:45. | |
calls a red warning flag Some have been downgrading 999 calls | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
if they're short on officers. That means they don't have | :30:49. | :30:53. | |
to respond as quickly. The HMIC also says domestic violence | :30:54. | :30:55. | |
calls to some forces have been downgraded because of lack | :30:56. | :30:59. | |
of specialist officers. Other forces have ignored leads | :31:00. | :31:08. | |
on organised crime because it Only Durham is delivering | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
outstanding policing. Neighbourhood policing, | :31:11. | :31:22. | |
that proactive, preventative presence of police officers | :31:23. | :31:23. | |
in communities is eroding even further so that means they're not | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
stopping crime from happening in the first place and that's | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
what the public want to see. This isn't in all forces, | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
many forces still have a really great service in that area, | :31:33. | :31:35. | |
but some forces are beginning to take officers out | :31:36. | :31:37. | |
of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas, and we're saying | :31:38. | :31:40. | |
absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing can't | :31:41. | :31:42. | |
be allowed to happen. The HMIC says overall most | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
forces are doing well, but a third may be placing | :31:49. | :31:51. | |
the public at unacceptable risk Some Chief Constables believe | :31:52. | :31:53. | |
the inspectors have got it wrong, but their national council says each | :31:54. | :31:58. | |
force is facing difficult decisions In a statement, the Home Office said | :31:59. | :32:00. | |
that a number of forces still have | :32:01. | :32:14. | |
more work to do And that the Government has | :32:15. | :32:16. | |
protected police funding, It adds there can be no excuse | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
for any force that fails to deliver The government says it will seek | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
to overturn a demand by the House of Lords that EU citizens living | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
in the UK should be allowed to stay Peers defied ministers | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
when they voted by a large margin to guarantee their rights | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
but the Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said that should be | :32:37. | :32:39. | |
negotiated alongside a deal for British citizens | :32:40. | :32:41. | |
living in the EU. The bill will return | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
to the Commons later this month. Nearly two-thirds of England's | :32:45. | :32:47. | |
hospitals have been rated as inadequate or needing improvement | :32:48. | :32:51. | |
in a major new study The report by the Care | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
Quality Commission also found that four | :32:55. | :32:58. | |
out of five trusts need But more than 90% were judged | :32:59. | :33:00. | |
to be good or outstanding The Department of Health has | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
welcomed the inspections, saying they form a key part | :33:06. | :33:10. | |
of its plan to make the health service the safest and most | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
transparent in the world. Senior opponents of President Trump | :33:15. | :33:17. | |

which is currently investigating The White House maintains | :33:27. | :33:29. | |
there was no improper contact. Voters in Northern Ireland go | :33:30. | :33:40. | |

accountants responsible for muddling up the main award envelopes | :33:54. | :34:04. | |
at Sunday's ceremony will never were responsible for handing out | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
the envelopes and it's been described | :34:08. | :34:16. | |
as the biggest mistake in 89 years I'm not sure it's just Academy | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
Awards history. The history of all awards ever? It's got to be up | :34:23. | :34:26. | |
there, hasn't it! Two goldfish have been given | :34:27. | :34:27. | |
a rather unusual send off by primary Pupils at Papdale School in Kirkwall | :34:28. | :34:30. | |
gave Bubbles and Freddy a flaming Viking burial boat | :34:31. | :34:34. | |
send-off, that's a traditional The fish had become class pets | :34:35. | :34:37. | |

about Viking traditions and made their own | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
longboats from cardboard. They're called Bubbles and Freddie? | :34:49. | :35:00. | |
Yeah. Now, if you're a golf fan you may be | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
interested to know that the game's governing bodies have proposed | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
a major shake-up to the rules They're thought to be the biggest | :35:08. | :35:09. | |
changes to the game in a generation. She's at Mere Golf Club | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
in Cheshire this morning. There will be... I can see it's | :35:15. | :35:25. | |
raining... There will be changes to do with putting as well, weren't | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
there? There will. As you join me the heavens have opened. You have to | :35:30. | :35:35. | |
be keen to be on the greens here, changes to putting, one of the most | :35:36. | :35:39. | |
important rules that will change is if you putt and the flag is in and | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
the ball hits it and goes in you will no longer be penalised. We will | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
see a significant change there. Flags like this staying in and the | :35:49. | :35:52. | |
ball going in, no penalty at all. I'll explain in a bit more detail | :35:53. | :35:56. | |
what the rule changes will mean with the lady captain from this golf club | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
here, who has arrived especially early to talk to us. But elsewhere | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
in sport, a big day of evidence giving yesterday. | :36:06. | :36:06. | |
British Cycling has acknowledged serious failings in its record | :36:07. | :36:08. | |
keeping after being criticised by the woman in charge | :36:09. | :36:10. | |
Nicole Sapstead told a committee of MPs that UK | :36:11. | :36:14. | |
Anti-Doping's investigation into wrongdoing in the sport has | :36:15. | :36:16. | |
been hampered by problems with medical record keeping. | :36:17. | :36:19. | |
They've been trying to discover the contents of a mystery package | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
delivered to Team Sky in France six years ago. | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
What we're trying to establish in our enquiry is how does British | :36:29. | :36:36. | |
cycling and Team Sky administer the anti-doping policies to ensure their | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
riders and their team is clean. And what we've heard today is they | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
don't. So I think it's a pretty damning indictment of the way things | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
have been run in British cycling and at Team Sky that we should now be | :36:48. | :36:49. | |
left in this position. Manchester City are through to | :36:50. | :36:50. | |
the last eight of the FA Cup in their replay against Huddersfield | :36:51. | :36:53. | |
Town. on to this goal from Harry | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
Bunn. City though were soon back | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
in control, Sergio Aguero They'll play Middlesborough | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
in the next round. This looks like a joke. In the last | :37:03. | :37:15. | |
two years I think in the cup we didn't play one game away. Good for | :37:16. | :37:22. | |
their players because at the end our fans could see a game in the cup | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
here because I don't know what happened in the drawers, but every | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
time all the time we play away. We said before whatever happens | :37:31. | :37:37. | |
tonight it has no influence on what is in front of us and the | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
Championship. Even after this result and this performance, it counts. I | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
think we weren't at our best today, we have to be honest. We've shown | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
too much respect in my opinion and made too many mistakes. | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
Celtic are now 27 points clear at the top | :37:55. | :37:57. | |
Scott Sinclair and two Moussa Dembele goals helped them | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
to a 4-0 win over bottom side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
There were also wins for Rangers, Ross County and Partick Thistle. | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
England's women suffered a disappointing defeat | :38:07. | :38:08. | |
in their opening match of the SheBelieves Cup in Philadelphia. | :38:09. | :38:10. | |
England had led, but this header gave France a 2-1 win with the very | :38:11. | :38:15. | |
The Barcelona manager Luis Enrique will step down | :38:16. | :38:19. | |
at the end of the season as he says he needs to rest. | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
He was speaking after his side won their latest match | :38:23. | :38:25. | |
face going out of the Champions League. | :38:26. | :38:29. | |
Barcelona top the table in Spain after Real Madrid could only draw | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
Real had their Wales star Gareth Bale sent off just after half | :38:34. | :38:38. | |
Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
with two late goals to secure a point. | :38:43. | :38:44. | |
Andy Murray is into the quarter-finals at | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
the Dubai International after a comfortable straight sets | :38:50. | :38:52. | |

and 12 minutes to see off Spain's Gullermo Garcia-Lopez. | :38:57. | :38:58. | |
He'll face Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber in the last eight. | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
He fought back after losing the first set to Gael Monfils | :39:03. | :39:08. | |
to take the second, but was swept aside by the world number 12 | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
Now, I promised you the ladies captain here at Golf Club, and here | :39:13. | :39:28. | |
she is. I guess you're used to this -- Mere. I am, I play in this all | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
the time! How much difference will this make to amateur golfers playing | :39:35. | :39:38. | |
for fun? I think it will make a great difference. We all want a | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
better pace of game and all the rules I have read and the changes | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
proposed are common sense and it will make things less complicated, | :39:47. | :39:50. | |
like the flagstick being left in the hole when you're putting and also | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
being able to repair spike marks, we've always been able to repair | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
divot marks and pitch marks but not spike marks. What does that mean? On | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
your shoes, there are cleats or metal spikes and as golfers walk | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
around they flick up pieces of grass. They should pack them down | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
themselves but it doesn't always happen so now you can do that to get | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
a fair goal at the whole. One of the problems is participation is | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
dropping so this is one of the ways of getting more people into the game | :40:24. | :40:28. | |
because it might not take so long. We need more ladies of all age | :40:29. | :40:32. | |
groups, school mums and young professionals, if the game can be | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
done at a better pace, the rules are less complicated and easier to | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
follow then I think everybody will be happy to play. Helen, thank you. | :40:41. | :40:46. | |
That might be a bit of a challenge, you're going to teach me later, | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
aren't you? I am. Good luck to you, that's all I can say. There will be | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
a lot of confusion as well! Thanks very much, Sally. See you later. | :40:57. | :40:58. | |
We know what it's like to function on just a few hours sleep | :40:59. | :41:01. | |
But it turns out we have nothing on African elephants in the wild. | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
Scientists have discovered they sleep for less time | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
Yes, they often manage on just two hours sleep a day. | :41:09. | :41:12. | |
It's a mystery why an animal known for its incredible memory can | :41:13. | :41:15. | |
Joining us now to tell more about their sleeping habits | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
is Robert Young, Professor in Wildlife Conservation | :41:20. | :41:21. | |
Lovely to see you, thanks very much. They've done a study on two | :41:22. | :41:29. | |
elephants but they put a monitoring device in their trunks, didn't they? | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
They put one of these wearable fitness monitors on the trunk of the | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
element which basically tells you how much the elephant is moving | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
around -- elephant. Elephants when they sleep strangely don't waggle | :41:43. | :41:45. | |
around their trunk so if the trunk is still for a long period you know | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
they're asleep. It turns out these two elephants don't sleep very much. | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
Surprisingly for the scientists we found out they were sleeping only | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
two hours whereas elephants in zoos would sleep five to six hours. | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
Forgive my ignorance, how does an elephant sleep, do they lie down? | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
They have to types of sleep, the standing sleep, the non- REM sleep, | :42:09. | :42:16. | |
then you have the REM sleep, often you see people's eyes moving | :42:17. | :42:20. | |
backwards and forwards and they only do that lying down. The two hours we | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
are talking about, is that the lying down sleep or standing up? It | :42:25. | :42:31. | |
incorporates both but they do mainly lying down sleep. What is the reason | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
behind their lack of sleep? They are a large herbivore with nowhere to | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
hide in an environment full of large predators like lions. You got to | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
stay awake because your kids are food for the lions. They are | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
constantly on guard as it were? There are certain pride is that | :42:51. | :42:53. | |
specialise in taking elephant calves. You mention they sleep the | :42:54. | :42:59. | |
least of all mammals, is there a chart of who sleeps in least, what | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
other mammals do we know about? We know other animals that don't sleep | :43:05. | :43:09. | |
much are large herbivores, zebras, horses, giraffes don't sleep very | :43:10. | :43:13. | |
much and on the other end of the scale we know species like bats | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
sleep a lot and small rodents sleep a lot because they are small and | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
they can hide and sleep safe so they can afford to sleep for a long time. | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
Whales and dolphins sleep with half their brain sleep? Exactly. They | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
need to breathe, so they keep coming up to breathe and therefore they | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
sleep half a brain at the time so a blue whale will sleep more than an | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
elephant, about nine hours, but only half their brain at the time. Sleep | :43:42. | :43:44. | |
patterns are fascinating. I'm surprised, did we not know much | :43:45. | :43:48. | |
about African elephant sleep patterns before, you would have | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
thought it would have been studied previously? The difficulty was | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
defining when the animal was asleep and it wasn't just resting, this new | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
technology has allowed us to make that definition with more certainty | :44:01. | :44:03. | |
that the animal is asleep rather than just resting. Very interesting, | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
thank you for seeing as this morning. Thank you. Shall we catch | :44:08. | :44:13. | |
up on the weather. Good morning, what a beautiful picture. | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
Isn't it, Glencoe, a stunning picture. Good morning. This morning | :44:18. | :44:23. | |
we are looking at some snow on the hills, breezy and windy across | :44:24. | :44:26. | |
England and Wales, especially the south and we have some rain. You can | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
see on the satellite what's been happening, there goes the first | :44:32. | :44:34. | |
system and here's the second in the central swathe of the country and | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
third in the far north. A windy night in southern England and Wales. | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
The wind still quite gusty but through the morning it will ease. | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
We've also got a line of cloud in Northern Ireland, parts of northern | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
England, Wales and East Anglia producing rain and sleet and mostly | :44:52. | :44:55. | |
hill snow but this morning you could see snow at low levels in parts of | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
Cheshire and Lancashire. By the afternoon for southern England and | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
East Anglia, the Midlands and Wales, the winds will be easing, the sun | :45:04. | :45:07. | |
will come out and there will be fewer showers around, many missing | :45:08. | :45:11. | |
showers that are around altogether. A bright spell for Northern Ireland, | :45:12. | :45:16. | |
it won't last, the cloud will build and we have showers continuing in | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
the north-west of Scotland with gusty winds, the showers on the tops | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
of the hills will also fall as snow. Through the evening and overnight, | :45:26. | :45:28. | |
then surely the rain arrives in Northern Ireland with hill snow | :45:29. | :45:31. | |
associated, moving into northern England and Scotland, here we will | :45:32. | :45:34. | |
see hill snow for a time. In the other end of the country it is rain | :45:35. | :45:39. | |
coming from the south, across the Channel Islands and into the | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
Midlands. It won't be cold enough in parts of Scotland for the risk of | :45:44. | :45:47. | |
ice on untreated surfaces first thing -- will be. It is damp so bear | :45:48. | :45:53. | |
that in mind. Tomorrow we have these two distinctive bands of rain moving | :45:54. | :45:56. | |
northwards, the lion's share of the sunshine tomorrow will be across | :45:57. | :46:00. | |
Scotland and it could brighten up for a time in northern England but | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
milder conditions in the south. Double figures. Ahead of these bands | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
of rain we're still looking at six, seven, eight, still feeling a bit on | :46:09. | :46:12. | |
the nippy side. As we head on through Saturday we have low | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
pressure still in charge. A great big weather front wrapped all the | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
way around it, that is producing rain and snow in parts of the Alps | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
and Italy. When it comes to our shores, it's producing rain and you | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
can see it across eastern England, northern England, Scotland and | :46:30. | :46:32. | |
Northern Ireland. Behind it, brighter conditions coming through | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
with sunshine in the south-east. But also some showers as well. | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
Temperatures behind it, 8-10, but ahead of it, seven and eight. Even | :46:41. | :46:47. | |
as we head into Sunday we're still dominated by low pressure, so still | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
unsettled. Rain and showers at times but equally there will be some dry | :46:52. | :46:55. | |
weather to look forward to as well, so by no means... Although it | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
remains unsettled by no means is that whether a complete write-off. | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
Millions of people live with or have suffered from mental health issues, | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
and most people still have to get up and go work, | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
even if that feels extremely difficult. | :47:11. | :47:12. | |
Ben is looking at how workplaces are aiming to treat mental health | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
problems as seriously as physical health ones. | :47:16. | :47:17. | |
Good morning, guys. Welcome to the Institute of Direct is. This | :47:18. | :47:31. | |
organisation represents thousands of businesses up and down the country. | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
Today they are launching their mental health initiative, looking at | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
what firms can be doing to support staff going through mental health | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
problems -- Institute of Directors. It is easy to talk about health and | :47:43. | :47:52. | |
safety, which involves preventing accidents, but mental health can be | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
difficult to spot and it is often many years later that the problems | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
come to the fore. With me are two guests who can explain a bit more. | :48:01. | :48:06. | |
Madeline is with the mental health charity Mind, and Sam is a partner | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
at a city law firm. Sam, you have been through this. Talk me through | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
how you first came aware that you were facing a problem. I think it is | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
safe to say that at first I had no idea of really what was happening to | :48:20. | :48:24. | |
me. I was tired, I couldn't sleep, I was crying, you know, hiding behind | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
my computer screen. You know, you don't know what causes these things, | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
and then I remember very clearly sitting at my desk one day | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
confronted by papers, which I've always done, and I couldn't for the | :48:37. | :48:43. | |
life of me read what was in them. It was pages and pages and I had no | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
idea, that culminated in visits to various medical practitioners and | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
some time off. And that in itself is difficult, because recognising it as | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
a problem is the hardest bit. It is not that you have had a bad day, a | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
bad week or a bad month but it is recognising something was wrong, and | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
that for you was very difficult. Absolutely, I have been a textbook | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
case of a successful professional career, and this was the one thing I | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
could always hold on to and I couldn't do it, but I absolutely | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
wasn't going to admit that I had depression or anxiety or anything | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
which you might badge as a mental health illness. And it is about | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
identifying where it crosses a line between a bad day and when you need | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
to get help for it. Remap and that is where the role of employees comes | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
in. As you said, people know something is wrong but they don't | :49:38. | :49:41. | |
know what is wrong, and they are not willing to put their hand up and say | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
they need some help. That is why you need support from employers to say | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
that if you do need help this is a conversation you can have here. And | :49:50. | :49:53. | |
what was the point when you decided you needed help, and how did that | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
work? We have been talking about that already, and it wasn't quite so | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
straightforward. It started with a visit to my GP to say I couldn't | :50:02. | :50:06. | |
sleep, I was perhaps trying to give her a more subtle message but I | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
couldn't articulate it. I also started seeing a therapist, and the | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
situation just deteriorated and my GP said I am going to refer you to a | :50:15. | :50:20. | |
psychiatrist. Q complete meltdown, and I was effectively dragged their | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
kicking and screaming -- cue. It was the best thing I did, best thing I | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
did. And it is the stigma which puts a lot of people off, the fear it | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
will damage your job prospects, maybe promotion, maybe you will is | :50:35. | :50:40. | |
seen as weak in the workplace. It is a high-pressure environment, and | :50:41. | :50:42. | |
that could be putting off people getting help. Absolutely, for many | :50:43. | :50:46. | |
years we have not seen mental health in the same way as we see physical | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
health. If you have a sore leg you are not afraid to tell people but | :50:52. | :50:54. | |
with mental health there still seems to be this barrier to people saying | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
things are not quite right and I could do with some help. We are | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
seeing progress and change, especially as employers are signing | :51:02. | :51:08. | |
up to the Time to Change pledge, and workplaces of all kinds are called | :51:09. | :51:12. | |
upon to say I need some help, and the sooner they do that, the better | :51:13. | :51:16. | |
for the individual but also the better for the business. And Sam, | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
what would you like to see differently? What would have made it | :51:21. | :51:23. | |
easier for you, going through what you faced? | :51:24. | :51:40. | |
I think the most important thing is normalising | :51:41. | :51:42. | |
the language and normalising the discussion. | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
So there you have it, that is really the challenge that many businesses | :51:46. | :51:52. | |
are facing. How can they offer help for staff with problems which | :51:53. | :52:00. | |
I think the most important thing is normalising | :52:01. | :52:03. | |
the language and normalising the discussion. | :52:04. | :52:04. | |
So there you have it, that is really the challenge that | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
We will have more of my report just after seven a.m.. It is really | :52:08. | :52:15. | |
important to talk about it, and we will hear from them again. | :52:16. | :52:16. | |

Street art is being embraced by some councils around the UK as a novel | :52:25. | :52:45. | |
way to bring a splash of colour and regeneration | :52:46. | :52:47. | |
The London borough of Croydon has become the latest to announce that | :52:48. | :52:51. | |
more sites there are to be spray-painted. | :52:52. | :52:53. | |
But, for some people, it is not so different to illegal | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
graffiti, which authorities spend millions of pounds | :52:57. | :52:58. | |
Breakfast's Tim Muffett has been finding out more. | :52:59. | :53:12. | |
In Croydon, street art is spreading. It looks nice on empty buildings, | :53:13. | :53:23. | |
gives it a bit of colour. No, not for me, really. For two years, with | :53:24. | :53:33. | |
the blessing of the Council, artists like Sky High have been spraying | :53:34. | :53:37. | |
walls and buildings. When you see graffiti and it is well done, it | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
does look quite nice. Some of it is not too bad, but some of it I can't | :53:42. | :53:46. | |
make sense of it. This is the man co-ordinating it. What impact does | :53:47. | :53:49. | |
this have on an area? It brings people together. The thing is, kind | :53:50. | :53:55. | |
of, art is something that transcends all parts of the community. As long | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
as it causes a reaction and engages you, I think that is what is | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
important. I think it is brilliant, to be honest. No. Why don't you like | :54:04. | :54:13. | |
it? Council is not just in the UK and Europe but from South America | :54:14. | :54:18. | |
contact us and say how can they redo what we have done? Croydon Council | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
recently commissioned more street art on more buildings. Other | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
councils have been supporting it in designated places. Glasgow, | :54:26. | :54:31. | |
Brighton, black pool, Norwich and Bristol, where the most famous | :54:32. | :54:34. | |
street artist of all, Banksy, first made his mark. I think a lot of | :54:35. | :54:40. | |
councils have a confused perspective on graffiti and street art. On the | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
one hand they are still penalising people for producing it and graffiti | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
artists are still going to prison for producing graffiti whereas now | :54:50. | :54:51. | |
councils are also supporting street art. Anthropologist Raphael has | :54:52. | :54:58. | |
studied the spread and impact of street art and graffiti. What is the | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
difference? Councils spend millions removing illegal graffiti but | :55:04. | :55:06. | |
sometimes street art is created without permission. If it is by | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
banks eat it can be worth a fortune. There is this kind of passive | :55:12. | :55:14. | |
permissibility where street art is not removed. Councils are not sure | :55:15. | :55:19. | |
whether it can be a good or bad thing, so they just leave it. There | :55:20. | :55:22. | |
is also this active solicitation where street artists are paid to | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
come and produce work. This is County Road in Walton, in Liverpool, | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
where shop owners have embraced street art in a big way. What impact | :55:32. | :55:37. | |
has it had? It has actually been a positive impact. We have done 40 | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
shudders so far and has opposed to having grey and looking a bit | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
scruffy of an evening now we've got artwork on them. Images were painted | :55:45. | :55:53. | |
last month by graffiti artist Kieran Gorman. 200 people a week now attend | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
his workshops. It is getting bigger globally, as more people are getting | :55:59. | :56:02. | |
involved with it. When councils start backing street art projects, | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
does that make it more mainstream? For some people, yes. However, I | :56:08. | :56:14. | |
think they love it as well. I saw or eye-catching? Depends where you | :56:15. | :56:15. | |
stand. Send us your views on that, and we | :56:16. | :56:24. | |
are talking throughout the programme about people suffering from mental | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
health issues and how employers can help deal with that. The number I | :56:29. | :56:32. | |
read was correct, it was wrong on the screen. Let me repeat that | :56:33. | :56:42. | |
number for you 08000 564 756. If you haven't written it down, we will | :56:43. | :56:48. | |
repeat it again. We were talking about street art, and we will also | :56:49. | :56:50. | |
be talking about crime. Still to come this morning: A Brit | :56:51. | :56:53. | |

hill snow extending across north Wales, northern England and down to | :02:28. | :02:31. | |

Victims are being let down and suspects left untracked by some | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
police forces in England and Wales according to a report out today. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary found a third | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
of forces needed improvement, while a small number were putting | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
the public at unacceptable risk by rationing services | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
Here's our home affairs correspondent, Dominic Casciani. | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
The cornerstone of British policing, the bobby on the beat. | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
But are these vital forces being eroded as forces | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
That's one of the warnings in a stark report from Her Majesty's | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
After five years of budget cuts, some forces aren't making the right | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
tough calls over how to use their resources. | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
It's raised what it calls a red warning flag | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Some have been downgrading 999 calls if they're short on officers. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
That means they don't have to respond as quickly. | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
The HMIC also says domestic violence calls to some forces have been | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
downgraded because of lack of specialist officers. | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Other forces have ignored leads on organised crime because it | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
Only Durham is delivering outstanding policing. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
Neighbourhood policing, that proactive, preventative | :03:55. | :03:55. | |
presence of police officers in communities is eroding even | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
further so that means they're not stopping crime from happening | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
in the first place and that's what the public want to see. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
This isn't in all forces, many forces still have a really | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
great service in that area, but some forces are beginning | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
to take officers out of neighbourhood policing to focus | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
on other areas, and we're saying absolutely that erosion | :04:13. | :04:14. | |
of neighbourhood policing can't be allowed to happen. | :04:15. | :04:23. | |
The HMIC says overall most forces are doing well, | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
but a third may be placing the public at unacceptable risk | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
Some Chief Constables believe the inspectors have got it wrong, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
but their national council says each force is facing difficult decisions | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
In a statement, the Home Office said that a number | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
of forces still have more work to do and that this Government has | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
protected police funding through the 2015 Spending Review. | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
There can be no excuse for any force that fails to deliver | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
Ministers will seek to overturn last night's defeat in the House of Lords | :04:59. | :05:07. | |
on Brexit legislation according to government sources. | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
Peers defied ministers when they voted by a large margin | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
to guarantee the rights of EU nationals living | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
The government said it was disappointed at the first | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Our political correspondent Carole Walker has the latest on this. | :05:18. | :05:28. | |
Carol, how significant is it and what's likely to happen now do you | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
think? The government will try to overturn this defeat in the Commons | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
but this was a setback and I think the margin of defeat, the government | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
lost by more than 100 votes, could embolden its critics. The government | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
has said that it does want to guarantee the rights of EU nationals | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
living in the UK as a priority, but that it only wants to do that as | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
part of a reciprocal deal which also guarantees the rights of British | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
citizens in the EU. And Lord Kerslake, who was the head of the | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
civil service, said that the problem with that is that it could mean two | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
years of uncertainty if other EU countries decide they don't want to | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
settle this issue but want to keep it as part of the bargaining in a | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
wider deal. This is not just a moral argument, | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
it's an economic argument. We absolutely need the builders, the | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
nurses, the doctors, the care workers who have come over from | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Europe to work in this country. Indeed the university academics as | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
well. So this is not a just two question of just morals, it's a | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
question of what is good for this country as well. And I don't think | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
we can just leave it to chance or a negotiation that hasn't even started | :06:44. | :06:53. | |
yet. The government could be placing and seeing more defeats on this bill | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
and it will be hoping it could get them done by the end of March but | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
this is the start of the process. This is meant to be a short bill to | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
start the formal Brexit negotiations and I think last night's defeat was | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
a foretaste of the parliamentary battles the government's going to | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
have to face over the next two years. Carol, thank you very much. | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
Nearly two-thirds of England's hospitals have been rated | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
as inadequate or needing improvement in a major new study | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
The report by the Care Quality Commission | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
also found that four out of five trusts need | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
But more than 90% were judged to be good or outstanding | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
It's the first wide-ranging snapshot of the state | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
The regulator the Care Quality Commission spent nearly three years | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
carrying out inspections following the Mid Staffordshire | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
This is the first annual report on all of them. | :07:43. | :07:50. | |
One of the key findings is the wide variation | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
Across the major hospital trusts in England, 68% have been rated | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
as inadequate or requiring improvement. | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
81% of trusts are said to need to improve safety. | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
But 93% were rated as good or outstanding for the caring | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
There is variation between trusts, there's variation within trusts, | :08:07. | :08:16. | |
you can get a very good service within a trust that's struggling | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
or you can get an individual service that's not doing so well | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Praise is given to some trusts which have made significant | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
improvements, including University Hospitals Bristol. | :08:28. | :08:28. | |
The first to go from requiring improvement direct to outstanding | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
I think the findings of the report are very positive for us. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
I think in the report it acknowledges a lot of the hard work | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
that this department does and a very positive culture for providing | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
The Department of Health said the conference of inspections formed | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
a key part of a plan to make the NHS is the safest and most transparent | :08:52. | :08:55. | |

I'm not sure it's just Academy Awards history. | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
They might say elephants never forget, but it seems | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
A new study of female African elephants in the wild has revealed | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
they sleep on average for just two hours a night, | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
that's shortest amount time of any mammal on earth. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
Researchers say it could be down to the threat from predators | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
and poachers, as Helen Briggs reports. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
For five weeks scientists tracked to elephants roaming across Botswana to | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
find out more about their sleeping habits. They discovered on average | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
the elephants were sleeping for just two hours a day, mainly at night, | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
the shortest known sleep time for any land mammal and sometimes they | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
didn't sleep at all. One of the more unexpected findings we had was that | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
on five of the 70 night we recorded sleet from two elephants they didn't | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
sleep at all. Interestingly during those nights they appeared to have | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
been disturbed around 7:30 p.m., 8pm and they would walk for about 30 or | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
40 kilometres. These nights without sleep appeared to correlate to | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
potential mites where there's predation that ends where lions | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
might have been trying to attack the herd all were made the an elephant | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
was chasing the female herd or again there might have been poachers. Even | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
when they did get chance to rest and they'd often sleep standing up, only | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
lying down every few nights. Sleep, of course, plays an essential role | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
in memory, so researchers say it's a mystery why elephants, who are known | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
for their incredible memory powers, can survive on so little sleep. | :11:40. | :11:41. | |

NHS inspectors have published their first comprehensive report | :12:18. | :12:19. | |
into the state of England's hospitals since a new, | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
more rigorous testing system was introduced in 2013. | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
The tougher inspections were brought in after the scandal | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
at Stafford Hospital, where poor care led to the deaths | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
While some trusts have been praised for making significant | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
improvements, the report says patient safety still remains | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
that report, Professor Sir Mike Richards. | :12:35. | :12:49. | |
Thank you for your time this morning. This is an important | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
report, not just because you've looked at every hospital in England. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Let's talk about some of the findings. The first and possibly | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
most significant for people who have friends and family in hospital is | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
the figure saying four out of five trusts need to improve safety in | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
hospitals. What does that mean in practical terms? Well, we have four | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
rating scales, inadequate, requires improvement, good and outstanding | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
and there's a large number in the requires improvement category. That | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
category means there are things they're not doing on safety, they | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
may not be checking their medicines carefully enough, they may not be | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
keeping records carefully enough, they may not be checking the | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
equipment well enough, all of those sorts of things. And where we see a | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
number of those things happening we would rate it as requires | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
improvement, these are things that can be put right and what is really | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
important is when we go back to these places more often than not | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
they've been able to improve. Does that mean patient safety... | :13:52. | :13:54. | |
Presumably that means there must be an impact on patient safety? There's | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
a risk to patient safety that doesn't necessarily mean there's an | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
impact, that's where we rate things as inadequate where we're really | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
concerned and that's when it is important urgent action is taken to | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
improve it. We want to see improvement across-the-board but | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
it's the ones that are inadequate rated are the most urgent. Two | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
thirds, I don't want to get lost in the statistics, but two thirds of | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
the hospitals you look at requiring improvement or rated inadequate. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
Again, that's an awful lot of Hospitals. Yes, it's important to | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
recognise, though, that that's because hospitals have a whole range | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
of services that they look at and deliver. What we do when we inspect | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
is we go into eight major services, A, medical wards, surgical wards, | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
maternity et cetera, and when we look at the service level the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
picture is brighter, well over half of services are actually rated as | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
good or outstanding and that's probably what patients themselves | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
experience. If you're pregnant, you experience the maternity service for | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
example. One of these excess areas looking at your report is about the | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
care and the attitude of staff that almost no matter what else is | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
happening in the hospital, that seems almost universally to be a | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
success story. It is. And this is really gratifying and an important | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
finding. We send our inspectors with clinicians as well into hospitals. | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
We obviously observe care on the ward, we talk to patients and we | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
talk to staff, we look at staff surveys, all of those things and | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
overwhelmingly we find good or outstanding care. Now, there are | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
occasions when that slips, particularly when staffing levels | :15:39. | :15:39. | |
fall too low but that's rare. So if that is one of the high points | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
of the report, one of the really worrying phrases contained in the | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
report is the phrase that the NHS stands on, you say, a burning | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
platform. The traditional care model, you say, is no longer capable | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
of delivering the needs of today's population. What does that mean? | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
What we're seeing is increasing numbers of people being referred to | :16:09. | :16:16. | |
hospital or arriving at A We see difficulty in what we call the flow | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
through the hospital, so people waiting too long and A, | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
particularly if they require admission. Then people having to be | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
moved from ward to ward to juggle the beds, people not being able to | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
be discharged, because medical patients are having to be on | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
surgical wards, we find that surgical operations need to be | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
cancelled. All of that is the burning platform that we refer to, | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
and that is what needs transformational change. What we do | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
see. Dot. Could you translate that into terms which people were maybe | :16:48. | :16:52. | |
see more clearly? This is your profession. You are Chief Inspector | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
of hospitals for England. Your analysis. Our hospitals in England | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
in a more dangerous place than they ever have been? No, because that is | :17:03. | :17:10. | |
the safety question, and the effectiveness question. Absolutely | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
not, but what they are is, because of the difficulty in getting people | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
into the hospital, through the hospital and out of the hospital, | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
that is the problem we are seeing and that is where we need to work | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
much more between hospitals and the community, with GPs and care homes | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
and hospitals working closely together to solve this problem. That | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
is the transformational change we say is needed. And one more thing, | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
sometimes we come down to numbers. The government tells us there are | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
more doctors, more nurses on the wards and 2010. They are promising | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
more up until 2020 as well. Do you have evidence, is that true? Are you | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
seeing evidence of that? It is true, but there is also rising demand. And | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
the demand is rising quite rapidly. If you look at the number of | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
admissions to hospital over a 10- 15 year period, it is steadily rising. | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
So that is where we see things as being the real problem, is the sheer | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
demand for services. Thank you very much for your time this morning. | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
Thank you. And we will talk about that further throughout the | :18:17. | :18:17. | |
programme as well. You are watching | :18:18. | :18:18. | |

from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Government sources say ministers | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
will seek to overturn last night's Peers voted for an amendment | :18:30. | :18:32. | |

at this morning's weather. She always has lovely pictures, but | :18:38. | :18:52. | |
particularly lovely and sunny this morning. Good morning. For many of | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
us we will see bright skies or sunny spells. This morning is still quite | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
easy, windy across England and Wales, especially in the south, and | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
some rain in the forecast as well. What is happening is low pressure is | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
well and truly in charge of our weather, especially in the north | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
where we have some rain, some showers. Some of those wintry and | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
later in the day and other system coming in from the south-west will | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
introduce rain and hill snow. At the moment, still gusty winds across | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
England and Wales. They will ease in the next few hours. We also have a | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
line of showers across parts of north Wales, northern England, the | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Midlands and in East Anglia. That is following hill snow but at lower | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
levels, especially across Cheshire and Lancashire this morning, you | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
might see a bit of that at low levels but it will not last. Into | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the afternoon, south-west England and south Wales seeing a few | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
showers, most missing them, and most of southern England into the | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
south-east staying dry. There is an outside chance you will see a | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
shower, but you will be unlucky if you do. In northern England, the | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
band of rain fizzling, although there will be bright spells in | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
Northern Ireland we will see the cloud build and we have showers | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
across the north and west of Scotland. Wintry with height, some | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
merging to give longer spells of rain. The rain in Northern Ireland | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
will deposit hill snow this evening and that crosses into Scotland and | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
northern England it will do exactly the same thing. Rain at lower | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
levels, snow in the hills and at the same time two bands of rain coming | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
in from the south. Not as cold in the south as it will be in the north | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
and where we have damp surfaces it means there is once again the risk | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
of ice. Tomorrow, as these bands of rain will continue their journey | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
moving northwards, eradicating the dry and bright start as they do so. | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
The brighter skies tomorrow will remain across much of central and | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
northern Scotland, but we could still see some slices of brightness | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
across northern England. No heat wave in the north, six, seven or | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
eight but has become further south we have milder conditions in the | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
rain so we are looking at between eight and about 12. The Saturday, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
low pressure is still dominating our weather so still an unsettled theme. | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
The front attached to it, wrapped around it, extends all the way down | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
towards the Mediterranean. What it is doing for us is producing rain | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
and here is the line of the weather front along it with some hill snow | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
in Scotland. Behind it there will be some brighter and dry conditions, | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
but still quite a few showers coming into the south-west, and also into | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
Wales. As we head on into Sunday, low pressure still with us means | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
that the weather remained still fairly unsettled. Thank you very | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
much. We are already getting quite a lot of comments in this morning | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
about a story to do with mental health issues, especially to do with | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
the workplace and how good and bad employers are about helping people | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
in the workplace. Good morning to you. Welcome to the | :21:44. | :21:58. | |
grand surroundings of the Institute of Directors and we are here because | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
this place represents thousands of businesses. It has 30,000 members up | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
and down the country and today they are launching their mental health in | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
the workplace initiative, looking at what firms can be doing to help | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
staff who may be going through anxiety or depression and facing | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
problems in the workplace. It is very easy for us to talk about | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
health and safety. The safety bit in many respects is quite straight | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
forward, stopping people having accidents at work, trips and falls | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
and that sort of thing. But it is mental health that is much harder to | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
spot. There is no ones that cause or solution, and as I have been finding | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
out this week, it can happen anywhere and at any time -- no one | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
set solution. No matter where you work, tough days | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
are often part of the job, but for construction worker Leigh, difficult | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
days turned into difficult weeks and months. I just felt down one day, | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
and I stood at the top of the building, and just went to the edge | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
of the building. It is about six stories high. And I just stood there | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
and thought it would be better... Better if I was dead. And then I | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
started to think, because I am carrying for my Nan, I started to | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
think who is going to look out for her a new study suggests Lee's | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
experience is more common than we might think. Nearly a sixth of the | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
UK's workforce faces mental health problems. And it is here on building | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
sites that the problem is all too evident. More construction workers | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
lose their lives through suicide than serious accidents at work. And | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
it is something the industry is working hard to address. It is very | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
difficult to recognise in individuals where there is a | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
problem, until it is too late. And this is why we need to do something | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
now, and actually raise awareness within our industry, with our | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
workers, and actually get people trained up in the same way as you | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
would treat an injury with a first aid representative, to help people | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
before they get to the stage of worst-case scenario where people are | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
considering suicide. But it is not just industries like construction | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
where people are tackling mental health. Aside from the personal | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
impact on staff, it cost the UK economy around ?26 billion a year in | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
lost work and productivity. So business is paying attention, like | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
the department store chain Debenhams, its chairman told me of | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
his personal experience of dealing with mental health problems, and why | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
he wants to do more to help staff. I have had family members, including | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
one of my sons, who has had a very, very specific challenge. And I find | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
myself being hazard that talking about it, whereas if I had said he | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
has broken his leg or he has a bad infection, that would have been | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
fine, and we could all talk about that. I thought if I can't talk | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
about it, this is ridiculous. We need to find ways and means of | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
making this a more normal, everyday conversation, and not something we | :24:56. | :24:58. | |
need to pretend to hide away. And that is the basis of schemes like | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
this one at the Royal Mail. It encourages staff to talk about their | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
worries with trained mental health first aid is. It is training | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
individuals to really understand mental health issues. It is just to | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
help you cope with ways of being able to stay at work and do your | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
job, while dealing with your mental health. For Lee, who is now managing | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
his depression, talking is part of the answer. But he says simple | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
changes can make a big difference. A few months after I actually came off | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
my medication, one of the social workers where I was actually came up | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
and asked is betting OK -- site workers. She is the first person who | :25:41. | :25:46. | |
has actually asked, and I think that will make a very big difference for | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
a lot of people. So some important thoughts about how | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
businesses are dealing with the issue and what help is available for | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
staff in some businesses. We will be here all morning, we have been | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
hearing some very personal stories about what people have been through. | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
We will talk some more in about 20 minutes. Come back to me then and we | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
will talk about what business is doing to help all of us facing | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
mental health problems in the workplace. | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
A lot of people getting in touch, it is affecting a lot of people. We | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
won't read out names because some of the things you are sending us are | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
really sensitive as well. I lost my younger sister in April 2016, I | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
suffer as a result of her loss and I feel I cannot approach my employer | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
about the subject or my doctor because of fear of being considered | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
weak. I can honestly say I am unable to do my job to the best of my | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
ability due to mental health issues but feel I to anyone without being | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
judged. As we said, quite a few worried about how employers will | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
react. There is one hearsay my current employer has been really | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
understanding about mental health issues, I have been allowed some | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
time off for breaks as and when required, but not all employers are | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
like that. Keep those coming in this morning. Thank you for sharing with | :27:05. | :27:05. | |
us. Details of organisations offering | :27:06. | :27:06. | |
information and support with mental health are available | :27:07. | :27:08. | |
at bbc.co.uk/actionline, or you can call for free at any time | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
to hear recorded information We will make sure we have that on | :27:11. | :27:30. | |
our social media and we will repeat it throughout the | :27:31. | :30:50. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
Now, though, it is back to Charlie and Louise. | :30:54. | :30:56. | |
with Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt. | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
Some police forces are putting the public at an unacceptable risk, | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
by rationing their response as they struggle with cutbacks. | :31:04. | :31:05. | |
That's according to a report out today by Her Majesty's Inspectorate | :31:06. | :31:08. | |
of Constabulary, which oversees policing standards. | :31:09. | :31:10. | |
It found a third of forces in England and Wales need | :31:11. | :31:13. | |
improvement, with some downgrading emergency 999 calls, | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
in order to justify responding to them more slowly. | :31:17. | :31:24. | |
The Home Office has said the Government has protected police | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
funding and there can be no excuse for any force that fails to deliver | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
We'll be joined by former Chief Constable for Greater | :31:31. | :31:38. | |
Manchester Police, Sir Peter Fahy, in ten minutes. | :31:39. | :31:42. | |
The government says it will seek to overturn a demand by the House | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
of Lords that EU citizens living in the UK should be allowed to stay | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
Peers defied ministers when they voted by a large margin | :31:50. | :31:53. | |
to guarantee their rights but the Prime Minister, | :31:54. | :31:55. | |
Theresa May, has said that should be negotiated alongside a deal | :31:56. | :31:58. | |
for British citizens living in the EU. | :31:59. | :32:00. | |
The bill will return to the Commons later this month. | :32:01. | :32:09. | |
Nearly two-thirds of England's hospitals have been rated | :32:10. | :32:12. | |
as inadequate or needing improvement in a major new study | :32:13. | :32:14. | |
The report by the Care Quality Commission | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
also found that four out of five trusts need | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
But more than 90% were judged to be good or outstanding | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
The Department of Health has welcomed the inspections, | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
saying they form a key part of its plan to make the health | :32:29. | :32:31. | |
service the safest and most transparent in the world. | :32:32. | :32:48. | |
There's a large number in the requires improvement category, that | :32:49. | :32:53. | |
category means there are things they're not doing on safety, they | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
may not be checking their medicines carefully enough, they may not be | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
checking the equipment well enough. All of those sorts of things and | :33:02. | :33:05. | |
where we see a number of those things happening we would break it | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
as requires improvement. These are things that can be put right and | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
what is really important is when we've been back to these places more | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
often than not they have actually been able to improve. | :33:17. | :33:19. | |
Senior opponents of President Trump are calling for his newly appointed | :33:20. | :33:22. | |

up the main award envelopes at Sunday's ceremony will never | :33:59. | :34:01. | |
were responsible for handing out the envelopes and it's been | :34:02. | :34:06. | |

The average household income in the UK won't grow at all over | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
the next two years, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
It estimates that by 2022 British families will be 5,000 | :34:25. | :34:26. | |
pounds a year poorer than expected because of the slow recovery | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
The Government says it's taking action to support families, | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
including cutting taxes for millions of workers and introducing | :34:34. | :34:36. | |

Researchers say it could be down to the threat posed | :35:05. | :35:06. | |
Coming up on the programme Carol will have the weather for you. | :35:07. | :35:23. | |
Now, here's an interesting fact for you. | :35:24. | :35:25. | |
The first written rules of golf were established in 1744. | :35:26. | :35:27. | |
Well, the game's governing bodies have proposed a major | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
shake-up to the rules of the sport, which are the biggest changes | :35:33. | :35:35. | |
We can go live to Sally, who's at a golf club | :35:36. | :35:39. | |
I never have a game face! One of the rule changes I'm most interested in | :35:40. | :35:47. | |
as an amateur, nervy golfer, if you do this if you're slightly rubbish, | :35:48. | :35:51. | |
and you have a little twitch, didn't mean to do that... Andy Murray, | :35:52. | :35:58. | |
former European open champion, what have I done? You unintentionally hit | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
the ball, one of the major rule changes, if you hit the ball by | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
accident effectively, then there is no penalty. It's quite often you | :36:09. | :36:12. | |
might have a practice swing and you catch the ball and you might move a | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
leaf, it moves the ball. Could be slightly rubbish. Might do a Dustin | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
Johnson and the ball might move without it being intended to be hit. | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
Interesting you mention him because Dustin Johnson really suffered as a | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
result. He lost the US Open! Under these new roles he would have been | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
fined. What are the other changes, I'm going to have another go while | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
we talk. The other change, in this situation with the flag 30 feet away | :36:41. | :36:47. | |
from us... We used to have the flag attended, that's your best putt so | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
far! You can leave the flag in the hole and the ball can go in and | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
strike it on the way in and there's no penalty. It helps speed it up a | :36:57. | :37:00. | |
little bit. Why is it important to speed things up? We need to make the | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
game or attractive to everybody and there are too many complicated | :37:05. | :37:09. | |
rules, half of them illogical and hardly any are logical, the rulebook | :37:10. | :37:14. | |
is that sick and all we want to do is play the game and have fun. -- | :37:15. | :37:20. | |
that thick. If you hit it unintentionally, the Dustin Johnson | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
thing was a freak and he got penalised, but as it happened it | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
didn't make much difference because he went on to do great things. Is it | :37:27. | :37:31. | |
going to make it easier for people like me, normal people watching the | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
TV this morning wanting to have a go at golf, is it going to make it | :37:36. | :37:43. | |
easier to understand? 100%, you can use range finders, GPS systems, | :37:44. | :37:47. | |
there's a raft of rule changes, you can drop the ball from an inch above | :37:48. | :37:51. | |
the ground if you got it from a hazard. It is effectively placing | :37:52. | :37:54. | |
the ball. It is, normally you have to go from shoulder height. There's | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
a few things that have tried to speed it up to make it more simple | :37:59. | :38:02. | |
and that's what we want, more players playing the code and having | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
fun doing it. Andrew, thank you for making that simple and easier to | :38:08. | :38:12. | |
understand for someone like me. -- playing the game. | :38:13. | :38:13. | |
British Cycling has acknowledged serious failings in its record | :38:14. | :38:15. | |
keeping after being criticised by the woman in charge | :38:16. | :38:18. | |
Nicole Sapstead told a committee of MPs that UK | :38:19. | :38:21. | |
Anti-Doping's investigation into wrongdoing in the sport has | :38:22. | :38:24. | |
been hampered by problems with medical record keeping. | :38:25. | :38:26. | |
They've been trying to discover the contents of a mystery package | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
delivered to Team Sky in France six years ago. | :38:30. | :38:41. | |
What we're trying to establish in our enquiry is how does | :38:42. | :38:44. | |
British Cycling and Team Sky administer the anti-doping policies | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
to ensure that their riders and their team is clean. | :38:48. | :38:49. | |
And what we've heard today is they don't. | :38:50. | :38:51. | |
So I think it is a pretty damning indictment of the way things have | :38:52. | :38:55. | |
been run in British Cycling and at Team Sky that we should now | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
Manchester City are through to the last eight of the FA Cup | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
in their replay against Huddersfield Town. | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
on to this goal from Harry Bunn. | :39:07. | :39:09. | |
City though were soon back in control, Sergio Aguero | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
They'll play Middlesborough in the next round. | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
In the last two years I think in the cup we didn't play | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
Good because at the end our fans could see a game in the cup | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
here because I don't know what happened in the drawers, | :39:28. | :39:29. | |
but every time all the time we play away. | :39:30. | :39:36. | |
Celtic are now 27 points clear at the top | :39:37. | :39:38. | |
Scott Sinclair and two Moussa Dembele goals helped them | :39:39. | :39:42. | |
to a 4-0 win over bottom side Inverness Caledonian Thistle. | :39:43. | :39:45. | |
There were also wins for Rangers, Ross County and Partick Thistle. | :39:46. | :39:48. | |
England's women suffered a disappointing defeat | :39:49. | :39:49. | |
in their opening match of the SheBelieves Cup in Philadelphia. | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
England had led, but this header gave France a 2-1 win with the very | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
The Barcelona manager Luis Enrique will step down | :39:57. | :39:59. | |
at the end of the season as he says he needs to rest. | :40:00. | :40:03. | |
He was speaking after his side won their latest match | :40:04. | :40:06. | |
face going out of the Champions League. | :40:07. | :40:09. | |
Barcelona top the table in Spain after Real Madrid could only draw | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
Real had their Wales star Gareth Bale sent off just after half | :40:14. | :40:18. | |
Former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
with two late goals to secure a point. | :40:23. | :40:24. | |
Andy Murray is into the quarter-finals at | :40:25. | :40:26. | |
the Dubai International after a comfortable straight sets | :40:27. | :40:28. | |
The world number one needed just an hour | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
and 12 minutes to see off Spain's Gullermo Garcia-Lopez. | :40:32. | :40:33. | |
He'll face Germany's Philipp Kohlschreiber in the last eight. | :40:34. | :40:36. | |
He fought back after losing the first set to Gael Monfils | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
to take the second, but was swept aside by the world number 12 | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
That's almost it from me but I have to say there is a fantastic driving | :40:45. | :40:58. | |
range here, unusually it goes straight into the late! Into the | :40:59. | :41:06. | |
Mere. The only one in the UK with floating golf balls. Shall I go and | :41:07. | :41:11. | |
see how many I can lose? Let's have your first lesson, shall we do it | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
live? We might prerecord that. More on my lesson later! Sally, we have | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
clear that, we can do it live! That would be brilliant! OK, one more, | :41:23. | :41:28. | |
one more, Andrew, come on! Two yards to the left. Head still, nice and | :41:29. | :41:35. | |
smooth. That was a brilliant shot! Get in! Get in! You're not allowed | :41:36. | :41:42. | |
to run on the green, Sally, come on! Sally! That is so impressive! I | :41:43. | :41:48. | |
think Naga would be pretty impressed by that. Amazing. Back with Sally | :41:49. | :41:50. | |
later on. Take a look around any classroom | :41:51. | :41:51. | |
today and it's likely to be filled with Harry Potters, Gruffalos, | :41:52. | :41:54. | |
Worst Witches and Peter Pans. Yes, it's World Book Day | :41:55. | :41:57. | |
which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and children | :41:58. | :42:00. | |
are marking it by dressing up as their favourite | :42:01. | :42:02. | |
fictional characters. But does celebrating reading for one | :42:03. | :42:04. | |
day really encourage young And how do you keep | :42:05. | :42:06. | |
that enthusiasm going? I think sometimes if you lead by | :42:07. | :42:19. | |
example, so if they see you reading they think rather than being on a | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
tablet or a screen, they sort of thing, I'll do that. I guess it's | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
just encouraging them if they're bored and they don't know what to | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
do, suggest reading a book. You get to dress up and it's important to me | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
because if you read more than you write more and it helps your | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
imagination. I prefer reading off a proper book. I just prefer the | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
feeling of it. The screen, I don't reading off a screen. I prefer an | :42:45. | :42:50. | |
iPad to read off because I don't like novels but I read more articles | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
and stuff like that, old newspapers and information from the 80s and. | :42:55. | :42:58. | |
That because I'm more interested in stuff like that than novels. I think | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
it's important for intellectual development so that people aren't | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
stupid. I can't even think why you would ask why it would be important, | :43:10. | :43:11. | |
it seems evident to me. Joining us is the children's author | :43:12. | :43:13. | |
Frank Cottrell-Boyce, first professor of reading. | :43:14. | :43:16. | |
Welcome. I have brought in a couple of my | :43:17. | :43:31. | |
favourite books, which I still have, and you as well. We went on holiday | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
to North Wales when I was about seven and it rained every day and I | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
still feel guilty about this but this was in the cottage. Is called | :43:40. | :43:46. | |
Tales of the Greek Heroes. Your first book. It was battering with | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
rain and we had these picnics which we had to eat indoors, this was a | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
great memory, it is physically that book and when I touch it... I can | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
hear the rain and taste the boiled eggs, happy times. These are a | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
couple I have at home. I read these so many times, I love you are at a | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
clearly different reading level to me. Needless to say, I love these | :44:12. | :44:17. | |
books and these were my dad is, a beautiful thing, handing books down | :44:18. | :44:20. | |
generations in some ways. They're cheaper and you pass them on and | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
this has got your memories in. And some of my drawings! | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
You hear people talking about books a moment ago, there a danger to say | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
it is important because mainly it should be fun, that little we saw | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
talking, he said it's about imagination and that is the starting | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
point, through infusing people, not saying they should but it's what you | :44:44. | :44:48. | |
get from it. It is very much about fun, World Book Day, dressing up and | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
listening to stories, not about the coding all literacy, it's about fun. | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
When you touch that you're back in your childhood. -- decoding or | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
literacy. One of the great sources of mental strength is happy | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
memories, when you get older you realise the more happy memories | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
you've got the stronger you are and what could be happier or simpler | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
than sharing a book with somebody? You can lose yourself in adventure | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
and forget about the worries. My dad is ill at the moment and I spent | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
part of yesterday morning reading a book called the Third Policeman and | :45:24. | :45:29. | |
for half an hour he was out of his bed, in Ireland in the rain hearing | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
this funny stuff and if we didn't have that habit you wouldn't have | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
that source of joy and strength. It's interesting how you phrase it, | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
clearly I'm suspecting the three of us grew up in households where there | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
were a lot of books. It's clear from what we're saying. If you don't, if | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
you don't have books in your home and you don't have a tradition in | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
your house, that becomes more challenging. | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
Absolutely, you are at a huge advantage if your house is full of | :46:00. | :46:05. | |
books. If your first experience of a book is a parent or grandparent | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
reading it to you, that will be a good memory. Parents love their kids | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
and want to give their kids that edge in life. And they will pay to | :46:15. | :46:18. | |
go to private school or tutors or cram them or stand of them while | :46:19. | :46:21. | |
they are doing their homework, nothing works like curling up on a | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
couch and reading a cheap pork, you know? That is another one I wanted | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
to talk to you about. People might be spending money today on the | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
costumes, but actually the books are not all that expensive. I would hate | :46:34. | :46:43. | |
in a few years time for us to look back at World Book Day and finding | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
that the winners are ASDA and Disney. And brilliant stuff, there | :46:50. | :47:00. | |
is a lot of pyjama ones, I saw a school in Upton Heath dressing up | :47:01. | :47:04. | |
potatoes instead of children as your favourite character. What a | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
brilliant idea, so much creativity. And so far in your role, have you | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
encountered many youngsters who literally haven't read a book for | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
fun? Absolutely, that is why I took it on. I do think we are losing | :47:17. | :47:22. | |
that, and it is such an important thing. Not just educationally, but | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
in terms of you being happy. It is such a great source of inner | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
strength. I think Lou is going to read a bit. A little bit later, I | :47:32. | :47:38. | |
have to prepare. I like to do voices and everything. I am looking forward | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
to that. Lovely to see you this morning, thank you. Great to be | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
here. While Lou is getting ready for her reading, what time is that? | :47:49. | :47:54. | |
Gosh, I am feeling the pressure! Carroll, are you looking forward to | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
Lou's story? I am, and this picture tells a story as well. Last night | :48:01. | :48:11. | |
some of us were lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis. And it wasn't | :48:12. | :48:15. | |
just in the Highlands. We also saw it in parts of north-east England as | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
well. I will try and show you more pictures as we go through the course | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
of this morning. For many of us this morning it is a breezy start, windy | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
across southern England and Wales. We have a band of rain extending | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
across north Wales, the North Midlands, into parts of northern | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
England and East Anglia, that is a band of rain, sleet and hill snow | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
although for a time we could see some wintry conditions at lower | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
levels, but it won't last. As we move through the afternoon, sunshine | :48:44. | :48:45. | |
and showers for south-west England and south Wales, for the rest of | :48:46. | :48:48. | |
southern and south-eastern England it is mostly dry. You could see the | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
odd shower, you will be unlucky if you do and for north Wales in the | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
northern England, a lot of sunny spells around, one ought CHEERING | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
showers, the rest of Northern Ireland still dry and still some | :49:02. | :49:04. | |
wintry showers across the north and north-west of Scotland. Again, the | :49:05. | :49:08. | |
wintry conditions mostly on the hills but quite easy here as well. | :49:09. | :49:13. | |
As we head on through the evening and overnight, rain arrives in | :49:14. | :49:16. | |
Northern Ireland and that will push into parts of Scotland and northern | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
England and tend to weaken. At the same time, two vans of rain coming | :49:21. | :49:25. | |
up from the south. Ahead of all of that it will be another cold night | :49:26. | :49:28. | |
across the Highlands, for example, where we have damp surfaces they | :49:29. | :49:32. | |
will be the risk of some ice as well. That is where we start | :49:33. | :49:35. | |
tomorrow, on a bright note with some sunshine. Still a plethora of | :49:36. | :49:38. | |
showers across the far north. Our bands of rain moving northwards | :49:39. | :49:42. | |
across England and Wales, and also Northern Ireland. For the brightest | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
skies, they will be across Scotland and we could also see some breaks in | :49:47. | :49:49. | |
the cloud, for example, across northern England. It will not feel | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
warm, highs of about seven. Further south we're looking at temperatures | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
into double figures. Then, for the weekend, low pressure still | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
dominating our weather. We have a huge front that around it, and as it | :50:02. | :50:07. | |
moves across us it will produce some rain. -- wrapped around it. You can | :50:08. | :50:12. | |
see the rain from that front across the south-east, extending across | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
Scotland and producing again some hill snow and moving in across | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
Northern Ireland. The tail end of it will clip Wales and parts of | :50:20. | :50:22. | |
south-west England. If you are in the middle of that you have a better | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
chance of staying dry and bright. If you can see some breaks in the cloud | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
and sunshine coming through as well. As we had only to Sunday, low | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
pressure still very much dominating our weather. Still remaining | :50:34. | :50:36. | |
unsettled, with rain and some showers, but equally some dry spells | :50:37. | :50:39. | |
as well. Millions of people live with or have | :50:40. | :50:42. | |
suffered from mental health issues, and most people still have | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
to get up and go work, even if that feels | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
extremely difficult. Ben is looking at how workplaces | :50:50. | :50:50. | |
are aiming to treat mental health problems as seriously | :50:51. | :50:53. | |
as physical health ones. Absolutely, it is a really important | :50:54. | :51:07. | |
issue and talking about it could be the key. It is very easy for | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
businesses to talk about health and safety and in some respects the | :51:12. | :51:15. | |
safety bit is the easiest, because it is about making sure people do | :51:16. | :51:20. | |
not have accidents at work, tripping and falling, that sort of thing. But | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
health is more difficult because there is no one set cause or | :51:25. | :51:28. | |
solution and it can manifest itself two or three years down the line, | :51:29. | :51:32. | |
maybe when you have moved on from the place where you are working so | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
very important that this is as do more to support the stuff that they | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
have. Two people with me can explain a bit more, Stephen is a boss at the | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
Institute of Directors, launching the big campaign today, and Sam is a | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
partner at city law firm and you know what we are talking about. Give | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
us a taste of what happened you. Let Mac I don't think you can say | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
exactly what causes periods of depression and ill health, but for | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
me it was a prolonged period of sleeplessness, exhaustion, crying | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
covertly behind by computer screen, and then I remember clear as a belt | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
sitting at my desk and just not being able to read the paper in | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
front of me. Turning pages and having no idea what was going on, | :52:15. | :52:17. | |
and I was terrified that I couldn't do my job any more. And that what | :52:18. | :52:22. | |
point do you realise that this was something more than maybe just a bad | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
day or a bad week or a bad month and that it was something that maybe you | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
needed to get help for. I don't think I admitted to myself when I | :52:32. | :52:34. | |
actually realised it. I went to my GP and asked for help sleeping, I | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
think I was properly asking for more help, and over a couple of months of | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
going to see her, eventually she referred me to a psychiatrist, which | :52:43. | :52:48. | |
I absolutely, you know, floored me. I was taken their kicking and | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
screaming. It was the best thing I did. And Stephen, here at the | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
Institute of Directors, you are launching a big campaign, a mental | :52:58. | :53:00. | |
health initiative to get some of your 30,000 members talking about | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
this and what they can do to help staff. Why is it so important now? | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
We did a recent survey which told us that over half of our members had | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
been approached directly by staff concerning mental ill health, and | :53:14. | :53:17. | |
that is just a big, big statistic. And it affects the productivity that | :53:18. | :53:22. | |
we have in this country. It is a massive impact if staff are not | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
happy, they will not perform to the best of their ability at work, which | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
affects business and affect everything. So it is not just a | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
moral reason for doing it, there is a logic to it from a business point | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
of view. You might say it is very easy for big business to try and do | :53:39. | :53:45. | |
this, you can have a dedicated mental health first-aider. What | :53:46. | :53:47. | |
about smaller firms which have just a few employees? We recognise the | :53:48. | :53:54. | |
difficulties for smaller firms, without the first-aider or HR | :53:55. | :53:57. | |
department so we are suggesting online resources pointing out where | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
people can go for help, there is lots out there but people don't know | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
it is there. Less than 20% of our members are aware of a single | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
initiative the government has introduced in the last few years. | :54:09. | :54:11. | |
That is very worrying. What we can do as business leaders is put | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
forward where to go to for help and how to get it. And Sam, when you | :54:16. | :54:19. | |
were in that position did you have somewhere where you could go for | :54:20. | :54:22. | |
help? I imagine there are two things, having the availability of | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
help but also the stigma of not wanting to go to your boss and say | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
you have a problem. I think that is absolutely the case. We had | :54:31. | :54:33. | |
resources available internally, and we still do, but I would not have | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
wanted to use them and put my head above the parapet. I think now, the | :54:38. | :54:44. | |
really key point is normalising the discussion so that there is, one | :54:45. | :54:47. | |
hopes, less of a stigma for people who want to put their hands up. And | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
you are not in here, it is that stigma which can be the biggest | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
challenge. Is a massive stigma which we have got to get rid of. They | :54:58. | :55:10. | |
should be no Tabou, no -- taboo, no stigma. We are going to be here | :55:11. | :55:13. | |
throughout the morning, talking about this a little bit more. Keep | :55:14. | :55:17. | |
your comments coming in. This affects many, many people. Give us | :55:18. | :55:22. | |
an indication of how you got help and what it meant to you. We will | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
talk more about this after eight a.m.. Thank you very much indeed, | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
and thank you, everybody, for getting in touch and telling us your | :55:31. | :55:32. | |
stories as well. Details of organisations offering | :55:33. | :55:33. | |
information and support with mental health are available | :55:34. | :55:36. | |

through the course of the day. For many it will be dry and bright with | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
some sunny spells. But there are some showers around and some of | :02:25. | :02:29. | |

Thank you. Victims are being let down | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
and suspects left untracked by some police forces in England and Wales | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
according to a report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
of Constabulary found a third It said a small number were putting | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
the public at unacceptable risk by rationing services | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
as they struggle with cutbacks. Here's our Home Affairs | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
Correspondent, Dominic Casciani. The cornerstone of British policing, | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
the bobby on the beat. But are these vital community posts | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
being eroded as forces That's one of the warnings | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
in a stark report from Her Majesty's After five years of budget cuts, | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
some forces aren't making the right tough calls over how | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
to use their resources. It's raised what it | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
calls a red warning flag Some have been downgrading 999 calls | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
if they're short on officers. That means they don't have | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
to respond as quickly. The HMIC also says domestic violence | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
calls to some forces have been downgraded because of lack | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
of specialist officers. Other forces have ignored leads | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
on organised crime because it Only Durham is delivering | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
outstanding policing. Neighbourhood policing, | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
that proactive, preventative presence of police officers | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
in communities is eroding even further so that means they're not | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
stopping crime from happening in the first place and that's | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
what the public want to see. This isn't in all forces, | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
many forces still have a really great service in that area, | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
but some forces are beginning to take officers out | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas, and we're saying | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing can't be | :04:10. | :04:11. | |
allowed to happen. The HMIC says overall most | :04:12. | :04:21. | |
forces are doing well, but a third may be placing | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
the public at unacceptable risk Some Chief Constables believe | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
the inspectors have got it wrong, but their national council says each | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
force is facing difficult decisions We have a statement from the Home | :04:34. | :04:49. | |
Office. They say a number of forces still have more work to do. The | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
government has protected its police funding. That means there is no | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
excuse for any force to under deliver on its obligations. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |

Ministers will seek to overturn last night's defeat in the House of Lords | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
on Brexit legislation according to government sources. | :05:11. | :05:12. | |
Peers defied ministers when they voted by a large margin | :05:13. | :05:14. | |
to guarantee the rights of EU nationals living in | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
The government said it was "disappointed" at the first | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Our Political Correspondent Carole Walker has the latest on this. | :05:21. | :05:29. | |
How significant is it, and what is going to happen, do you think, next? | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
The government will try to overturn this in the Commons. But this was a | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
setback for the government. The scale of the defeat, the government | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
lost by more than 100 votes, could embolden its critics. Some peers | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
argued the government has the moral duty to guarantee the rights of | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
those EU citizens living here in the UK. Others say, look, the government | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
has said it wants to do just that but only as part of a reciprocal | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
deal which also guarantees the right of British citizens abroad. The | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
concern is if other EU states say, well, we're not going to sort this | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
out until we sorted out other matters, but that could mean two | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
years of uncertainty. Despite that, the government will hope to overturn | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
this in the Commons. This bill could still face further defeat in the | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
Lords. Those would also then have to be overturned if the government is | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
to stick to its timetable. Don't forget, this is supposed to be a | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
short, straightforward bill to begin the formal Brexit negotiations. And | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
there is much more contentious legislation to come. I think what | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
they saw last night was a taste of the parliamentary battles we could | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
see over the next two years. Thanks very much. | :06:50. | :06:51. | |
Nearly two-thirds of England's hospitals have been rated | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
as "inadequate" or "needing improvement" in a major new study | :06:54. | :06:55. | |
The report, by the Care Quality Commission, | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
also found that four out of five trusts need to improve | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
But more than 90% were judged to be "good" or "outstanding" | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
It's the first wide-ranging snapshot of the state | :07:07. | :07:16. | |
The regulator for the Care Quality Commission spent nearly three years | :07:17. | :07:26. | |
carrying out inspections following the Mid Staffordshire | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
This is the first annual report on all of them. | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
One of the key findings is the wide variation | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
Across the major hospital trusts in England, 68% have been rated | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
as inadequate or requiring improvement. | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
81% of trusts are said to need to improve safety. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
But 93% were rated as good or outstanding for the caring | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
There is variation between trusts, there's variation within trusts, | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
you can get a very good service within a trust that's struggling | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
or you can get an individual service that's not doing so well | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Praise is given to some trusts which have made significant | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
improvements, including University Hospitals Bristol. | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
The first to go from requiring improvement direct to outstanding | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
I think the findings of the report are very positive for us. | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
I think in the report it acknowledges a lot of the hard work | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
that this department does and a very positive culture for providing | :08:21. | :08:22. | |

To the west of Manchester, a landscape devastated by digging | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
So many wildlife sites degraded in England and the government's | :09:44. | :09:51. | |
Here is one way how - row on row of tiny sphagnum moss | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
plants being nurtured in a polytunnel. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Planted out, they are helping to recreate a peat bog that stores | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
Meadows used to be a common delight, now more than 90% of them are lost. | :10:09. | :10:23. | |

People of this country love their natural environment. | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
Whether it's the green spaces in our cities, | :10:35. | :10:36. | |

unfortunately, in decline and we need to see ambitious | :10:39. | :10:40. | |

up the main award envelopes at Sunday's ceremony will "never | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
were responsible for handing out the envelopes - | :11:20. | :11:35. | |

We are still talking about it, when was it, Monday morning? Very | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
painful. A new study of female African | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
elephants in the wild has revealed they sleep on average for just two | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
hours a night - that's the shortest Researchers say it could | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
be down to the threat from predators and poachers, | :11:52. | :12:03. | |
as Helen Briggs reports. They have had to be on the move. -- | :12:04. | :12:04. | |
they have to be on the move. A painting by Gustav Klimt | :12:05. | :12:14. | |

to an anonymous buyer. Nearly 48 million pounds. | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
Staggering. A shortage of detectives and | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
a decline in neighbourhood policing. Those are just some | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
of the criticisms of police forces in England and Wales | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
from a new report out today. Her Majesty's Inspectorate | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
of Constabulary found that most of the 43 forces in England | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
and Wales were providing A third of forces "required | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
improvement", and some forces were "downgrading" emergency 999 | :12:53. | :13:04. | |
calls, in order to justify It also found that there were nearly | :13:05. | :13:06. | |
46,000 wanted suspects on the police database, | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
including people being sought for murder, rape | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
and terror offences. Joining us in the studio | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
is the former Chief Constable for Greater Manchester Police, | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
Sir Peter Fahy. I guess you can give us a unique | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
perspective. I imagine maybe talk a little bit more freely than you | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
might have beforehand. What do you think is the most concerning the | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
statistics we have been given? It is a confusing report. It says most | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
forces are doing well. But then it talks about a perilous state. The | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
worrying thing in there is the problem of morale. The fact there is | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
such a shortage of detectives. But overall it is the fact the police | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
have been asked to do more and more when there have been significant | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
cuts. It is disingenuous of the Home Office to say police budgets have | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
been protected. Is only the cash from last year. But that's after | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
four years of significant cuts that have seen 32,000 fewer staff in | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
policing. But also the fact when other services are struggling, like | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
the ambulance service, the police often have to step in and support. | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
One of the areas is about wanted suspects. Members of the public | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
might think if somebody is wanted by the police there would be a | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
concerted effort, an organised effort to find them. This report | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
says into many cases is insufficient action taken to actively tracked | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
down suspects. Talk us through what is going on. There are always huge | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
numbers of people. They do not want to get caught, obviously. The courts | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
want them, and with easy access to travel people can escape and then it | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
becomes more challenging for the police. The report acknowledges that | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
every day the police have to risk assess what they are faced with. | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
There will be people that I wanted. But there will be a car accident, | :15:11. | :15:18. | |
maybe a murder, and the police have to everyday assess the risk and see | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
what the NHS does. It is wrong to talk about rationing or downgrading, | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
it is about setting a process, and this is the problem, increasing | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
workload with fewer resources. Every time the answer seems to be | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
workload. But the consequence of that is that people who should be | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
apprehended are not. In the same way that in the health | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
service people don't get the time that they want, there is a debate | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
that police have to be allowed to do things differently and what would | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
disappoint a lot of police officers is earlier this week, Simon Bailey | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
suggested a different way of dealing with sex offenders, he was shouted | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
down by politicians, police and the Home Office. That needs to be part | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
of the debate. If you want police to do more with less, you have to start | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
doing things differently and use technology in a different way. And | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
sometimes impinge on civil and human rights of some criminals to make it | :16:14. | :16:17. | |
easier for police to catch them. We spoke to him on Breakfast actually. | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
You talk about risk assessments, there are 43 police forces not doing | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
the basics. If you are watching the programme this morning and then, | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
they aren't even doing the basics, it is a worrying message? I don't | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
think so, sometimes you have serious things to deal with, there are basic | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
processes you need to do in a different way which has to happen. | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
But it does not going to say they are dealing with serious things, | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
they are not doing the basics. The report can be misleading, you have | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
to say, how is British policing doing, it is doing McNiff cine when | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
you look at the cuts it has taken, public confidence has held up, there | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
is no wider crisis -- it is doing well. When other services are being | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
cut, at the same time, they have difficult workforce issues, like the | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
fact that so many officers are retiring when they get to 30 years. | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
There's a big turnover in people like Chief Constables. A lot of | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
police and crime commission has changed in the last elections. You | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
and seeing leadership, you stand back and see fundamental things need | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
to change at the police are to cope with more risk, workload with fewer | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
staff. How you are responding to all of these suggestions, the public has | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
to get used to the fact that police cannot do what they used to? | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
Absolutely, that is inevitable. Why should they? Crimes are still being | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
done, they feel like victims, they want an investigation, why should | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
they accept that? Number one, public confidence and victim satisfaction | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
is holding up but if the public want more money spent on the health | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
service, there is no bigger drive to spend money on police. If you want | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
police to do more with less and fewer staff, then ultimately, we as | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
the public, I am now the public, they had to accept things will be | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
done differently. Maybe not worse, but your local police station may be | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
closing but you are getting just as good service on the telephone from | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
police. We could discuss this more at length, if you come back another | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
day and talk about it again, that would be great. Sir Peter Fahy, | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
former Chief Constable with Manchester police. Thank you. | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Good morning. I have some stunning weather watcher pictures to show you | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
of the Northern lights from last night. What a beautiful picture! And | :18:42. | :18:50. | |
this one, lovely and beautiful Northern lights, and here again, | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
another gorgeous one. And this one from north-west Scotland. Other | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
parts of the country saw the Northern lights last night. I find | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
more pictures, I will show you them in 30 minutes. If you want to see | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
the Northern lights tonight, activity is between nine o'clock and | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
three o'clock in the morning, and we are looking north of the Central | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Belt where there are various guys. Aberdeenshire, the north-west | :19:20. | :19:20. | |
Highlands and some of the islands will see those as well. Today, it is | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
windy across parts of England and Wales, that will slowly ease and it | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
will remain breezy fall of us, there will be some rain. This band extends | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
across North Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia. For some time it may be | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
wintry on the hills, it will fizzle. For most of us, a dry day with | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
sunshine. A few showers in the afternoon, across south-west England | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
and South Wales. In the south-east, catching one you would be an lucky. | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
A lot of dry weather and sunny spells. Sunny spells in northern | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
England, in north-west England more cloud at times, the odd shower. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
Sunny spells in Northern Ireland, and in western and northern | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
Scotland, we hold onto those showers. They will be wintry at a | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
height, a us will not see them, many of us will see sunshine. -- a lot of | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
us will will not see them. There will be snow deposits in Scotland | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
and northern England. At the same time, two bands of rain coming up | :20:25. | :20:28. | |
from the south. Not as cold in the South as the North but as I | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
mentioned, where there are clear skies north of the central Belt, a | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
risk of ice, you may see the Northern lights though. Both of | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
these bands of rain advance northwards. Getting into Wales and | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
Northern Ireland. You can hang onto those breaks in northern England. It | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
is tenuous but here there is sunshine. The lion's share is across | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
central Scotland. Temperatures 7-8, but behind this band of rain in the | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
south, ten or 11. On Sunday, low pressure dominates the weather so | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
the forecast remains unsettled and on Saturday, there is rain wrapped | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
around this area of low pressure. Snow deposits in Scotland, bright | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
skies as we go further south and Saturday temperatures, nothing | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
particularly to write home about, six or seven, up to nine or ten. | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
Slightly on the chilly side. Thank you. | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
One in four people have to cope with mental health issues at some | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
point in their life time - and many of them will do so whilst | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
Supporting those people is a big challenge for businesses, | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
and today the Institute of Directors is launching a scheme to help | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
firms do this better - Ben's at their London | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
This is a real problem, isn't it? Charlie, you are right, but it is | :21:50. | :21:58. | |
something that businesses are trying to take seriously. We are at the | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Institute of Directors, representing about 30,000 members. They can be | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
big and small organisations up and down the country. They are launching | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
an initiative today to get more businesses talking about the issue. | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
It is easy for a business to talk about health and safety, and in some | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
respects, the safety element is the easiest one to look after. It means | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
stopping accidents in the workplace, and you can measure that on a child. | :22:23. | :22:33. | |
But, help is much more difficult, -- you can measure that on a chart. But | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
mental health, it can happen to anyone, any time, anywhere. | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
No matter where you work, tough days are often part | :22:42. | :22:43. | |
But for construction worker Lee, difficult days turned into difficult | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
I just felt down one day, and I stood at the top | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
of the building, and just went to the edge of the building. | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
And I just stood there, and thought it would be better. | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
And then I started to think, because I am caring for my Nan, | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
I started to think, who is going to look out for her? | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
A new study suggests Lee's experience is more common | :23:15. | :23:16. | |
Nearly a sixth of the UK's workforce faces mental health problems, | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
and it is here on building sites that the problem is all too evident. | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
More construction workers lose their lives through suicide | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
than serious accidents at work, and it is something the industry | :23:29. | :23:30. | |
It is very difficult to recognise in individuals | :23:31. | :23:41. | |
where there is a problem, until it is too late. | :23:42. | :23:43. | |
And this is why we need to do something now, | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
and actually raise awareness within our industry, | :23:47. | :23:47. | |
with our workers, and actually get people trained up in the same way | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
as you would treat an injury with a first-aider, to help people | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
before they get to the stage of the worst-case scenario, | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
where people are considering suicide. | :23:57. | :24:00. | |
But it is not just industries like construction where people | :24:01. | :24:02. | |
Aside from the personal impact on staff, it cost the UK economy | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
around ?26 billion a year in lost work and productivity. | :24:10. | :24:17. | |
So business is paying attention, like the department store chain | :24:18. | :24:19. | |
Its chairman told me of his personal experience of dealing with mental | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
health problems, and why he wants to do more to help staff. | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
I have had family members, including one of my sons, | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
who has had a very, very specific challenge. | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
And I found myself being hesitant talking about it, whereas if I had | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
said he has broken his leg, or he has a bad infection, | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
that would have been fine, and we could all talk about that. | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
I thought, if I can't talk about it, this is ridiculous. | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
We need to find ways and means of making this a more normal, | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
everyday conversation, and not something we need to pretend | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
And that is the basis of schemes like this one at the Royal Mail. | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
It encourages staff to talk about their worries with trained | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
It is training individuals to really understand mental health issues. | :25:04. | :25:12. | |
It is just to help you cope with ways of being able to stay | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
at work and do your job, while dealing with your mental | :25:16. | :25:17. | |
For Lee, who is now managing his depression, | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
talking is part of the answer, but he says simple changes can make | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
A few months after I actually came off my medication, | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
one of the site workers where I was actually came up | :25:32. | :25:33. | |
She is the first person who has actually asked, | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
and I think that will make a very big difference for a lot of people. | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
Some really important issues raised in that piece. We will talk more | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
about it over the course of the morning. And here's some more | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
personal stories. And crucially, about why it is so important to talk | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
about this. The fear of speaking to your boss may be putting people off, | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
but the message from today's talk about it, get help when you needed. | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
We will have more stories from here in about minutes time. | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
STUDIO: Then, thank you. So many people getting in touch with us, | :26:16. | :26:18. | |
thank you for your stories. If you want more details... | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
Details of organisations offering information and support with mental | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline, | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
or you can call for free, at any time to hear recorded | :26:26. | :26:27. | |
But here on Breakfast in a few moments, we'll have a summary | :26:28. | :26:44. | |
of the morning's news and Sally will have the sport. | :26:45. | :26:46. | |
She'll be live from this golf club for us later to talk about some | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
new rules that could make the game quicker and simpler. | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
Three minutes to find a lost ball, not five! | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:00. | :30:20. | |
Now though it's back to Charlie and Louise. | :30:21. | :30:27. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt. | :30:28. | :30:33. | |
Some police forces are putting the public at an unacceptable risk, | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
by rationing their response as they struggle with cutbacks. | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
That's according to a report out today by Her Majesty's | :30:42. | :30:43. | |
Inspectorate of Constabulary, which oversees policing standards. | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
It found a third of forces in England and Wales need | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
improvement, with some 'downgrading' emergency 999 calls, | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
in order to justify responding to them more slowly. | :30:57. | :30:58. | |
The Home Office has said the Government has protected police | :30:59. | :31:00. | |
funding and there can be no excuse for any force that fails to deliver | :31:01. | :31:04. | |
The former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police, Peter | :31:05. | :31:13. | |
Fahy, told us the report was worrying for a number of reasons. I | :31:14. | :31:18. | |
think the worrying thing in there is really the problem of morale, the | :31:19. | :31:24. | |
fact there is such a shortage of detectives, but overall the fact | :31:25. | :31:27. | |
that police have been asked to do more and more when there have been | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
quite significant cuts in policing and it is disingenuous of the Home | :31:31. | :31:33. | |
Office to the police budgets have been protected, that is only the | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
cash from last year but that is after four years of significant | :31:38. | :31:38. | |
cuts. The Government says it will seek | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
to overturn a demand by the House of Lords that EU citizens living | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
in the UK should be allowed to stay Peers defied ministers | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
when they voted by a large margin to guarantee their rights, | :31:47. | :31:50. | |
but the Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said that should be negotiated | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
alongside a deal for British The Bill will return | :31:54. | :31:55. | |
to the Commons later this month. Nearly two-thirds of England's | :31:56. | :32:06. | |
hospitals have been rated as "inadequate" or "needing | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
improvement" in a major new study The report by the Care Quality | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
Commission also found that four out of five trusts need | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
to improve patient safety. But more than 90% were judged to be | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
"good" or "outstanding" The Department of Health has | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
welcomed the inspections, saying they form a key part | :32:21. | :32:24. | |
of its plan to make the health service the "safest and most | :32:25. | :32:28. | |
transparent" in the world. There's a large number | :32:29. | :32:36. | |
in the requires improvement category, that category means | :32:37. | :32:44. | |
there are things they're They may not be checking | :32:45. | :32:46. | |
their medicines carefully enough, they may not be keeping records | :32:47. | :32:49. | |
carefully enough, they may not be checking the equipment well enough, | :32:50. | :32:52. | |
all of those sorts of things. And where we see a number of those | :32:53. | :32:54. | |
things happening we would rate it These are things that can be put | :32:55. | :32:59. | |
right and what is really important is when we go back to these places | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
more often than not they've Senior opponents of President Trump | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
are calling for his newly-appointed It emerged that Jeff Sessions had | :33:10. | :33:12. | |

because of the slow recovery The Government says it's taking | :34:12. | :34:13. | |
action to support families, including cutting taxes for millions | :34:14. | :34:19. | |

have studied how much sleep African elephants get by using a little | :34:41. | :34:47. | |
attachment on the trunk. They found two African elephants | :34:48. | :34:51. | |
which had been fitted with the device, which tracks the way they | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
sleep, found on average they get two hours a night. | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
It's the shortest amount recorded of any mammal on earth. | :34:58. | :34:59. | |
Researchers say it could be down to the threat posed | :35:00. | :35:02. | |

He will be here on the sofa in a few minutes. | :35:34. | :35:40. | |
Shut up! I can't pull it off, can I?! | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
Splashing colour and creativity on our streets, we'll see why more | :35:43. | :35:44. | |

A very British hotel - the Mandarin Oriental has | :35:48. | :35:50. | |
opened its doors to a documentary crew for the first time. | :35:51. | :35:55. | |
The concierges have to deal with some very unusual requests, we will | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
be chatting to two of them in a few minutes time. | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
And a huge amount of luggage. Oh, yes. Stormzy will be here | :36:04. | :36:09. | |
shortly, we are looking forward to that but before that we are talking | :36:10. | :36:11. | |
about golf, the rules are changing. If you're a golf lover, | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
you'll know that the rules Sally is out and about playing some | :36:16. | :36:29. | |
golf and explaining what the changes are. | :36:30. | :36:31. | |
Even for the keenest golfers, sometimes I think the rules can be a | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
bit overcomplicated. In fact, that is the understatement of the day, | :36:37. | :36:39. | |
the rules are very, very complicated and you have to have a good depth of | :36:40. | :36:43. | |
understanding and it has perhaps in the past put some people off from | :36:44. | :36:46. | |
starting to play golf because some of the rules can be so complicated. | :36:47. | :36:50. | |
I am joined by the ladies captain here at me a golf club. The rule | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
changes are coming in, do you think that is a good thing to help people | :36:56. | :37:01. | |
make it easier to start playing golf? I think it is excellent, all | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
of the changes I have read about mean it will be a better pace of | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
game, people will get around the course quicker, it is easier to | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
understand from the rules that are on the Greens to the fairy rules, it | :37:13. | :37:19. | |
will mean new people will be much better. You are the ladies captain | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
here, do you think you know absolutely everything there is to | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
know about the rules? I should do, but I don't, there is too much. So | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
even you, in the position you have, realise things are really | :37:34. | :37:37. | |
complicated? They are complicated and the rules will be changed, they | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
will be easier and I think any new person coming to play golf, | :37:42. | :37:45. | |
especially ladies, we need more ladies to play, will see that it is | :37:46. | :37:48. | |
easier to understand and they will get around quicker and feel much | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
more confident about it. One of the new rules is to make people get a | :37:54. | :37:56. | |
bit of a move on, how do they do that? Just walk faster between the | :37:57. | :38:02. | |
shops and this ready to play rule where one person is bigger than -- | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
is ready sooner than the other, they can go first. I know you are busy | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
this morning, we will let you get on with your golf. Thank you very much | :38:15. | :38:22. | |
indeed. There she is. Marvellous. In the meantime... I will let you know | :38:23. | :38:31. | |
about the rest of the sport this morning. High five! Can I just tell | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
you, the boys were watching then just waiting to see what Helen did | :38:37. | :38:41. | |
come very proud of that. We started this morning with news from British | :38:42. | :38:42. | |
Cycling. They have acknowledged serious | :38:43. | :38:48. | |
failings in its record keeping after being criticised by the woman | :38:49. | :38:50. | |
in charge Nicole Sapstead told a committee | :38:51. | :38:52. | |
of MPs that UK Anti-Doping's investigation into wrongdoing | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
in the sport has been hampered by problems | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
with medical record-keeping. They've been trying to discover | :39:00. | :39:00. | |
the contents of a mystery package delivered to Team Sky | :39:01. | :39:03. | |
in France six years ago. Manchester City are through to | :39:04. | :39:05. | |
the last eight of the FA Cup after a comfortable win | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
in their replay against That's despite going behind early | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
on to this goal from Harry Bunn. City were soon back | :39:11. | :39:17. | |
in control, Sergio They'll play Middlesborough | :39:18. | :39:18. | |
in the next round, their fourth Celtic are now 27 | :39:19. | :39:27. | |
points clear at the top Scott Sinclair and two | :39:28. | :39:34. | |
Moussa Dembele goals helped them to a 4-0 win over bottom side | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
Inverness Caledonian Thistle. There were also wins for Rangers, | :39:38. | :39:40. | |
Ross County and Partick Thistle. England's women suffered | :39:41. | :39:42. | |
a disappointing defeat in their opening match | :39:43. | :39:44. | |
of the SheBelieves Cup England had led, but this header | :39:45. | :39:45. | |
gave France a 2-1 win with the very Andy Murray is into | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
the quarterfinals at the Dubai International, | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
after a comfortable straight The world number one needed just | :39:54. | :39:54. | |
an hour and 12 minutes to see off He'll face Germany's Philipp | :39:55. | :40:00. | |
Kohlschreiber in the last eight. But British number | :40:01. | :40:07. | |
two Dan Evans is out. We were talking about Andy Murray, | :40:08. | :40:15. | |
let's go to Andrew Murray, I bet you get that a lot! You can explain from | :40:16. | :40:20. | |
your perspective what the difference is now that he's proposed rules | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
might be coming in. There is a number, the headline maker | :40:26. | :40:27. | |
affectively would be the fact that they will try to encourage people to | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
play within 40 seconds when it is their turn to play. If it is not | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
their turn to play, then they played ready golf, as it would be referred | :40:36. | :40:37. | |
to, so that is one big thing. The other one is | :40:38. | :41:03. | |
dropping the ball instead of shoulder height... You would drop a | :41:04. | :41:05. | |
ball, if you drop it from a water hazard or something, you can drop | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
from shoulder height but now you can effectively dropped from an inch, | :41:09. | :41:10. | |
effectively placing the ball, which stops it rolling away and could | :41:11. | :41:12. | |
stand the procedure. The other is they can prepare spike marks or | :41:13. | :41:15. | |
damage made by other people. That is important. It is a fair rule, | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
because why should I be penalised if you have made a scuff mark? The | :41:19. | :41:20. | |
other one would be that you can putt from the putting green with the flag | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
still implement that used to be a penalty shot if it hit the flag | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
before it went in the hole. So that is another change to speed up play a | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
little bit. Another couple, but those are the main headliners. If | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
you accidentally nudged the ball, that is another one, which has been | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
the case a number of times in some high profile events where you don't | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
cause the ball to move, you have the putter behind the ball and the ball | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
moves, you get penalised, that is a ridiculous rule because there should | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
be no penalty, so there is no penalty if you strike the ball all | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
the ball moves unintentionally. Will it encourage more people into the | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
game? I hope so, let's play quicker, be more brisk and keep it simple. I | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
will let you get ready, we will let Andrew show us what this is all | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
about. This is pressure, serious pressure! Straight into the water?! | :42:09. | :42:15. | |
I can, if you want! Shall I just go straight down the fairway? Watch | :42:16. | :42:28. | |
out. Not great... But better than mine! Andrew, thank you very much | :42:29. | :42:35. | |
indeed. He is better than me, obviously! | :42:36. | :42:38. | |
Every time they do that I am worried about the camera, but it has fine! | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
From earning himself a Brit nomination to performing live | :42:45. | :42:46. | |
It's been quite a few months for the rapper who goes | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
This week, his debut album has shot to the top of the charts taking him | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
from hotly-tipped underground MC to mainstream star. | :42:55. | :43:05. | |
We'll chat to Stormzy in a moment, | :43:06. | :43:07. | |
but first, let's take a look at what he does best. | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
# Tell my man shut up. Shut up. | :43:11. | :43:13. | |
# Oi, rudeboy, shut up. Shut up. | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
# Shut up. Shut up. | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
# Tell my man... Shut up. | :43:21. | :43:23. | |
# Couple man called me a back-up dancer. | :43:24. | :43:24. | |
# Onstage at the Brits, I'm a back-up dancer. | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
# The man in the pics, back-up dancer...#. | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
# You're getting way too big for your boots. | :43:33. | :43:46. | |
# I've got the big size twelves on my feet. | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
# Kick up the yout, man know that I kick up the yout. | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
# Dem boy dere tried twist up the truth. | :43:56. | :43:57. | |
# How dare you twist up the truth, look. | :43:58. | :44:00. | |
# You're getting way too big for your boots. | :44:01. | :44:02. | |
# I've got the big size twelves on my feet. | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
# Kick up the yout, man know that I kick up the yout...#. | :44:07. | :44:11. | |
Giving us, in our houses, quite a lot of street cred this morning! | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
Thank you very much indeed for coming to see us, it has been quite | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
a couple of weeks for you, hasn't it? It has been crazy, all a bit mad | :44:20. | :44:32. | |
for me! But I'm happy. You are maybe saying what some people are | :44:33. | :44:35. | |
thinking, you are here on the sofa, you are a grime artist, is that what | :44:36. | :44:38. | |
you are trying to do, to bring what you do to a different audience? My | :44:39. | :44:44. | |
main thing, I always just wanted my music to go as far as possible. I'm | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
not ashamed to say that I want people to listen to my music, I want | :44:49. | :44:54. | |
the world to hear me out. It's all a bit crazy! You maybe got a different | :44:55. | :45:02. | |
kind of audience when he went to the Brits a few days ago, performing | :45:03. | :45:05. | |
with Ed Sheeran. Before we have a look at it, tell us how exciting | :45:06. | :45:10. | |
that was? It was the scariest thing I've ever done, ever! When I saw it, | :45:11. | :45:19. | |
I'm at the biggest award show in the country with the biggest artists in | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
the world, on the biggest song in the world right now, and you've got | :45:25. | :45:29. | |
two minutes to do this! I bugged out before. You seem like a very | :45:30. | :45:36. | |
confident performer, it is all about that, the way you walk around the | :45:37. | :45:39. | |
stage, but you were genuinely nervous? That was one of those | :45:40. | :45:43. | |
moments, you know when someone is like, go on, kid, this is your time, | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
give got one chance. I was like, I don't know! You pulled it off, let's | :45:49. | :45:50. | |
have a look. # I'm in love with the shape of you | :45:51. | :46:10. | |
# Because you pull like a magnet # My heart is falling too--% I'm in | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
love with your body # Last night you were in my room | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
# Now my bed sheets smell like youles # | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
Clearly enjoying that. Tell us about yourself. How would you describe | :46:30. | :46:35. | |
your time at school, for example? My time at school - I was quite smart | :46:36. | :46:42. | |
in school, I got good grades. I was just a bit of a little, like a bit | :46:43. | :46:50. | |
of a class clown. Pushing the edges? Yes, playing the fine borderline | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
between getting excluded but the teachers kind of loving me. I had a | :46:55. | :47:00. | |
great time in school, I went to school in South London. You took | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
GCSEs? Yes. Did you carry on in school? Yes. I went to college and | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
then eventually left college and went on to do my apprenticeship and | :47:12. | :47:17. | |
then after that, BBC Breakfast! LAUGHTER. | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
You were sort of a competitive reader when you were at school? Yes. | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
You read because you were getting... I used to get these little badges. | :47:27. | :47:40. | |
It's a weird story but you go to the library every summer time in primary | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
school, every time you read one, they would give you a badge. I would | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
do all the reading, get a badge, put them on a big blanket. At the | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
beginning of school in September, I would two to school with a blanket | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
like yeah, look. It's a great message for World Book Day. Yes. | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
Reading for me was just one of my favourite pastimes which, looking | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
back, I'm like, what was that, but it definitely helped to get me where | :48:07. | :48:11. | |
I am today. Can you give us the mugs guide to the difference between rap | :48:12. | :48:21. | |
and grime? OK. Grime is very British. Grime is a lot faster. It's | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
high energy. So it's the pace of the delivery. Also the sounds. Grime is | :48:29. | :48:35. | |
more electronic, whereas rap is other things. It's so difficult to | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
explain just by talking. It's more of a thing you have to listen to. | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
You have to listen to both genres, then you can see there is a | :48:46. | :48:48. | |
difference. The thing about grime, you have to listen carefully because | :48:49. | :48:56. | |
it's so fast. Tell me a bit about the album, called Gangs Signs and | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
Prayer. Two ends of the spectrum, aren't they? Yes. It's the first | :49:02. | :49:07. | |
time I've released any body of work so it's all a bit crazy for me, but | :49:08. | :49:16. | |
the message behind the name of the album, so they're two ends of the | :49:17. | :49:20. | |
spectrum and I feel like both have been imperative in my career, in my | :49:21. | :49:24. | |
life full stop, just me as a man and my character. So I had to make a | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
body of work that represented, me represents where I come from, | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
represents what I've been through, my journey and where I am now and | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
both sides of that coin. So it was very difficult to feel like I proper | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
put my everything into it. All those things are important. Then there's | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
your mum? Yes, of course, mumsy, yeah, man! | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
You talk about her a lot and how she's the reason you are able to do | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
what you are doing, she's an inspiration? Yes, on the album there | :49:55. | :50:01. | |
is a song about my mum called 100 Bags, she didn't hear that until... | :50:02. | :50:08. | |
Actually she's in Ghana, I was trying to speak to her on her phone | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
and she can't connect. She'll hear it soon, but it's a tribute to my | :50:13. | :50:17. | |
mum. When I talk about my mum sometimes I feel like I'm kind of | :50:18. | :50:21. | |
showing off because everyone loves their mum innit, like, we all love | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
our mums, so I think what's different about mine but she's been | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
there. She must be very proud. Yes. | :50:32. | :50:41. | |
Stormzy's album is called Gang Signs and Prayer. | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
I managed to get that. Stamp of approval! Thanks for that. Thank you | :50:47. | :50:53. | |
for being polite. Carol, tell us about the weather. | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
Look at the Northern Lights in Peterhead. Gorgeous colours, | :51:00. | :51:08. | |
weather-watchers have done us proud. This one from Moray, again beautiful | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
colours, Lossiemouth again another beautiful one from Moray and this | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
one from Mallaig, the pinks and purposeles there and the last one is | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
from Breakish in the Isle of Skye. If you want to see this tonight, you | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
may be lucky if you are north of the central belt between 9pm and 3 am. | :51:32. | :51:38. | |
Aberdeenshire, Moray, the north-west Highlands. For the rest of us today, | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
a breezy day, for some it's windy in southern England and Wales. That | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
will ease and there's some wind and showers around, particularly across | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
parts of North Wales and the Midlands towards East Anglia. That | :51:53. | :51:55. | |
will tend to fizzle out throughout the day. | :51:56. | :52:00. | |
As we come south, through the afternoon, you could catch the odd | :52:01. | :52:04. | |
shower, for example across south-west Wales or England. They're | :52:05. | :52:11. | |
fairly few and far between and you could be lucky depending on your | :52:12. | :52:14. | |
point of view, if you catch one in the south-east. | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
North-east England seeing the sunshine. A bit of cloud in the odd | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
shower. A bright afternoon in Northern Ireland with showers | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
continuing in the north and west of Scotland. | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
In-between those, we are looking at some sunshine. In the evening and | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
overnight, rain pushes in across Northern Ireland. | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
At the same time, we have two systems coming up from the south | :52:41. | :52:44. | |
introducing some rain and breezier conditions. So not as cold in the | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
south and colder in the north and don't forget under the clearer | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
skies, not only is there a risk of ice, but you may see the Northern | :52:53. | :52:56. | |
Lights. Tomorrow, both the bands of rain continue to drift north, | :52:57. | :53:00. | |
eradicating the brighter start that you'll have, for example in Northern | :53:01. | :53:03. | |
Ireland and northern England. But you may hang on to some cloud | :53:04. | :53:10. | |
breaks. It's tenuous whether you do or not, but across the north is | :53:11. | :53:17. | |
where you will have the lion's share of that. | :53:18. | :53:20. | |
Low pressure still in charge of the weather, not just on Saturday but | :53:21. | :53:23. | |
Sunday. Look at the extent of the weather front. From the med all the | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
way down curling around towards Britney. -- Brittainy. Hill snow | :53:29. | :53:34. | |
across Scotland. You can see the complete circle of that. In-between, | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
drier conditions, bright spells and one or two showers and | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
temperature-wise, between six in the north to ten in the south. I want to | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
say thank you to everyone who sent in their fabulous pictures this | :53:49. | :53:58. | |
morning too Lou and Dan. Oops. It had to happen. I just know that | :53:59. | :54:03. | |
feeling! I can never remember who is on! | :54:04. | :54:16. | |
The time is 80... Sorry 8.54. It's catching! A lot of people getting in | :54:17. | :54:28. | |
touch about this next subject. Ben is looking at how work places are | :54:29. | :54:31. | |
aiming to treat mental health problems as seriously as they | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
actually do physical health problems. Ben's got more now. | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
Morning. Good morning, you are absolutely right. A lot of personal | :54:40. | :54:42. | |
stories we have heard this morning. We are in the very grand setting of | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
the Institute of Directors here because today they launched a big | :54:47. | :54:50. | |
initiative to get many of their members to help staff a bit better. | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
It's about talking about it, reducing the stigma that surround | :54:55. | :54:57. | |
mental health and what firms can be doing to encourage staff to talk | :54:58. | :55:00. | |
about it and seek help where it's needed. You might say it's easy for | :55:01. | :55:06. | |
firms to talk about safety in the work place, ticking boxes, making | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
sure we don't have accidents but mental health is more difficult. We | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
have some guests here to discuss with us. Steven, you are the boss | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
here, Sam you are a City lawyer and Madeleine you work at the mental | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
health charity Mind. Steven, you launched the big initiative today | :55:27. | :55:29. | |
and it's an important one, to get people to talk about it and to get | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
over the stigma that often surrounds mental health? Absolutely. There is | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
a massive stigma that we believe still exists in the country about | :55:37. | :55:39. | |
even mentioning mental health. We have got to get away from that. It | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
has a big impact on business in terms of lost productivity, a good | :55:45. | :55:50. | |
and happy engaged workforce makes a huge difference to to companies. We | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
want to get the conversations going and make sure there is no stigma. We | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
have been talking about what it meant for you and that point Steven | :55:58. | :56:01. | |
makes about the lack of productivity. You found you couldn't | :56:02. | :56:04. | |
work, you couldn't do your job? Absolutely. I remember clear as a | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
bell sitting at my desk, you know, looking at all this paper and | :56:10. | :56:16. | |
thinking, I cannot take in what is in it, I can't retain it, it was | :56:17. | :56:21. | |
terrible, it led to a period of not being in the office. When did you | :56:22. | :56:25. | |
realise that it wasn't just a bad day, that you had a stressful couple | :56:26. | :56:30. | |
of weeks, because I imagine many people would feel that sort of | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
element to it and not think that they need to go and get help. How do | :56:34. | :56:37. | |
you define the two? Absolutely. I mean I went through this prolonged | :56:38. | :56:43. | |
period of exhaustion, sleeplessness, crying behind my computer screen, | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
but I just thought I was overstressed, overtired and | :56:49. | :56:51. | |
eventually it was my GP said I'm going to refer you to a psychiatrist | :56:52. | :56:56. | |
to whom I went kicking and screaming, but it was absolutely the | :56:57. | :56:59. | |
best thing to do. Madeleine, you see this all the time | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
of course and the figures back this up that people are very reluctant to | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
get help. If someone is watching this right now, and say, I recognise | :57:08. | :57:12. | |
the signs, where do they start? I think the main point to say is that | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
it's OK to talk about it, whether that's to a peer or colleague at | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
work or your manager or a friend, member of your family or your GP, | :57:22. | :57:25. | |
the most important thing is that as soon as you can, you say actually I | :57:26. | :57:30. | |
do need some help. As Sam said, sometimes you don't always recognise | :57:31. | :57:33. | |
it in yourself, you think you are tired or stresses and you don't | :57:34. | :57:37. | |
think it's anything more serious than that. That's why we should look | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
out for each other and employers should put in structures and support | :57:42. | :57:48. | |
systems that enable employers to say, I might need help. It's | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
important. Steven, is it easier for smaller firms because if you are a | :57:53. | :57:55. | |
big organisation, you have the time and resources to put in a dedicated | :57:56. | :58:00. | |
mental health first-aider. Small firms can't do it, can they? | :58:01. | :58:06. | |
Admittedly it's more difficult but we are trying to provide them with | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
the signposts of where to go for help and information. People aren't | :58:11. | :58:13. | |
aware of all the help that's out there. We are trying to make it | :58:14. | :58:19. | |
easier for people to get the help, support #57bed guidance because | :58:20. | :58:22. | |
otherwise we won't move forward on this -- support, help and guidance. | :58:23. | :58:28. | |
Sam, what would it have been that helped you in that situation, where | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
would you have wanted to turn to? It's about normalising the | :58:34. | :58:36. | |
discussion. We have a great framework and resources but for me, | :58:37. | :58:40. | |
it was a question of oh God I don't want to stick my head above the | :58:41. | :58:49. | |
parapit and increasingly the awareness is helping to normalise | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
the situation. Thank you all so much, it's great to talk to you all. | :58:54. | :58:57. | |
It's about talking about it and removing that stigma and thank you | :58:58. | :59:00. | |
so much for all of the comments and stories that you've sent through to | :59:01. | :59:03. | |
us this morning, it's really worth talking about them and it's really | :59:04. | :59:06. | |
wonderful to hear them all so thank you very much and we'll have more | :59:07. | :59:09. | |
from here and of course it's an issue that will keep on going. More | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
details on the Facebook page and online on the BBC website. Thank you | :59:15. | :59:18. | |
very much to them for talking to us. Details of organisations | :59:19. | :59:27. | |
offering information and support with mental health | :59:28. | :59:28. | |
are available at Or you can call for free at any time | :59:29. | :59:30. | |
to hear recorded information - Street art is being embraced by some | :59:31. | :59:35. | |
councils around the UK as a novel way to bring a splash of colour | :59:36. | :59:43. | |
and regeneration The London borough of Croydon has | :59:44. | :59:45. | |
become the latest to announce that more sites there are | :59:46. | :59:52. | |
to be spray-painted. But, for some people, | :59:53. | :59:55. | |
it's not so different to illegal graffiti, | :59:56. | :59:57. | |
which authorities spend millions Breakfast's Tim Muffett has | :59:58. | :59:59. | |
been finding out more. It looks nice on empty buildings, | :00:00. | :00:05. | |
gives it a bit of colour. For two years, with the blessing of | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
the council, artists like Sky-high have been spraying | :00:15. | :00:27. | |
walls and buildings. When you see graffiti | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
and it's well done, Some of it is not too bad, | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
but some of it I can't make What impact does this | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
have on an area? The thing is, kind of, | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
art is something that transcends As long as it causes | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
a reaction and engages you, I think it's brilliant, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
to be honest. Councils not just in the UK | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
and Europe, but from South America, contact us and see how can | :00:57. | :01:17. | |
they can do what we've done. Croydon Council recently | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
commissioned more street art Other councils have been supporting | :01:24. | :01:24. | |
it in designated places. Glasgow, Brighton, Blackpool, | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Norwich and Bristol, where the most famous | :01:29. | :01:29. | |
street artist of all, I think a lot of councils | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
still have a confused perspective On the one hand, they're still | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
penalising people for producing it, and a lot of graffiti artists | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
are still going to prison for producing graffiti, | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
whereas now councils are also Anthropologist Rafael Schacter has | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
studied the spread and impact Councils spend millions | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
removing illegal graffiti, but sometimes street art | :01:50. | :01:59. | |
is painted without permission. If it's by Banksy, it can | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
be worth a fortune. There's this kind of passive | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
permissibility, where street art Councils are not sure whether it can | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
be a good or bad thing, There is also this active | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
solicitation, where street artists This is County Road in Walton, | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
in Liverpool, where shop owners have We've done 40 shutters so far, | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
and as opposed to being grey, and looking a bit scruffy | :02:23. | :02:44. | |
of an evening, now we've got These images were painted last month | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
by graffiti artist Kieran Gorman. 200 people a week now | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
attend his workshops. It's getting bigger globally, | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
more and more people are getting When councils start backing | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
street art projects, does that make it | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
a bit too mainstream? But it is how I make my living as | :03:02. | :03:02. | |
well. From art to books. | :03:03. | :03:20. | |
We are surrounded by books, as many people will be. If you take a look | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
around the classroom, it is likely you will be surrounded by Harry | :03:25. | :03:32. | |
Potter and the graph below. -- Gruffalo. | :03:33. | :03:33. | |
It's the 20th anniversary of World Book Day today and children | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
across the country are once again celebrating by dressing | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
up as their favourite fictional characters. | :03:39. | :03:39. | |
All morning we've been asking you to send in photos | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Charlotte Laurie has sent us a photo of her girls | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
Oh, look at them! Being one and Being Two. | :03:46. | :03:54. | |
Next we've got Morag who's sent in a picture | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
Anna's dressed as Electric Girl and Elliott is Danny | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
Here we have Charlie and Lily dressed as Oor Wooly and Matilda. | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
Next we've got Frankie, Isla, Paddy and Fred | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
I can see a Gruffalo and a Hungry Caterpillar there. | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
And earlier we promise that Lou would read out a bit of Jackanory | :04:21. | :04:35. | |
for us. It is not Jackanory, but it is one | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
of our favourites. Crouching behind two of three large | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
rocks further up the cliff, they could not see what the man was doing | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
but they were afraid of being spotted if they petered out. Jack | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
and Lucianne were waiting on the clifftop, Lucianne was nervous. My | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
knees feel funny, she complained to Jack. He laughed, don't be a baby! | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
You don't have to say a word if you don't want to! | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
That was good! I liked the voices! I think I have embarrassed myself | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
quite a lot today. I think you just got a job somewhere | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
doing something! I know some of you didn't get | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
the right local news at 8.30am Bye bye. | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
brief look at the headlines Welcome back, hopefully it was your | :05:22. | :07:10. | |
news! It's a hotel where no request | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
is too large or small, whether that's having your socks | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
pressed or arranging for a lorryful of luggage to be | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
delivered to your room. Every whim of the guests | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
is catered for at the luxury For the first time in it's history | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
it's allowing cameras behind the scenes to take a look | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
at the lives of those We'll be speaking to two of the | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
hotel concierges in just a moment but first let's take a quick look | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
at the programme. Very good afternoon, this is the | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
concierge speaking. Thank you so much for asking, I am always | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
wonderful. London's Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
is one of the world's most exclusive hotels. The Royal Suite goes for | :07:58. | :08:09. | |
?15,000 a night. If you want to stay at this kind of hotel, you need | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
money. If not, how do you pay?! You cannot pay with love! Offering elite | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Cleon tell a flavour of traditional Britain. I'm always a sucker for | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
cucumber sandwiches! Now, for the first time in its history, the hotel | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
has agreed to open its doors. Both upstairs... I'm in the Royal Suite! | :08:36. | :08:46. | |
And down stairs. Top notch hotel, they expect top-notch. And revealed | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
to the world the secret of its success. I wish you the most | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
pleasant afternoon ever. Thank you, goodbye. | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
Francois who you thought there is with us now, Nigel is also with us, | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
both concierges. Does the accident help, do you think? It just sounds | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
so lovely, though you are on the desk being polite to people. I think | :09:16. | :09:25. | |
it does! Marvellous. Nigel, what are the prime things for a concierge? | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
You have to be ready for any question? Absolutely, when you | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
arrive to work each day you need to be up for anything, you need to be | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
up for whatever the guestbook wires, anything as simple as transportation | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
arrangements, travel arrangements, to arranging tickets to sold-out | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
events and shows. That is exactly a question I wanted to ask you, I | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
happen to know that Harry Potter and the curse of child is sold out until | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
2018. Somebody comes in and says, I want to see that night, can you make | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
that happen? Absolutely, a good network of contacts is the most | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
important thing for a concierge without a doubt. During the filming | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
you have various problems arise, people turning up with lots of | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
baggage is one of them but I believe there is one person who arrives with | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
200 items of luggage. Is that unusual? Nothing is unusual! When | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
you work in a 5-star hotel, everything is normal. It depends on | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
the death addition you give to normality. You guys presumably lead | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
normal lives away from the hotel, do you have to believe that behind? You | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
enter a different world when you go into work? Absolutely, it is a | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
stagecraft, I suppose, an act. We live very normal lives outside of | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
work, and you arrive, put on the uniform, put on your golden keys as | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
a concierge, the Society of Golden keys that we work amongst, and it is | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
showtime. Absolutely it is a performance. I want to see a bit | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
behind the scenes, behind the glamorous front of house, there are | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
lots of people working behind the scenes making sure staff and guests | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
look the part. Working two floors below street | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
level, Max and his colleagues keep staff uniforms looking smart and | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
cater to the guests' every laundry need. 5-star hotel, they expect | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
top-notch. Chop Chop, they pay money, they need it now. We do our | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
best, usually that is half an hour because there are other guests who | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
also want Chop chop. Maxine's boss is the laundry manager, Erica. What | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
do you want me to do? It is brand-new. Irrelevant, maybe he | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
likes the smell of dry-cleaning. They are brand-new from the shop. It | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
is more for us, more money. Some people watching some bits of the | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
programme, there is a fascination with it but also some people might | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
find it distasteful, the excess, a brand-new piece of clothing that | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
somebody wants dry-cleaned. I didn't really think about it, but... I'm | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
not asking you to make a judgment, I know it is awkward for you, but | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
people will be thinking, is that really what happens? In some aspect | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
it is, we have guests from all walks of life, all facets internationally | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
all over the world, and we cater for their every need. I think when you | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
step inside the world of a 5-star luxury hotel, it is an escape, it is | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
different, it is like entering another world, another area, so... | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
But none of it, for us, is out of the ordinary, really. Another | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
crucial tip, you leave your bag there for a couple of hours, do you | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
expect a tip? How does that work? No, no, tipping is that a guest's | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
discretion. Has that changed over the years? I think the attitude | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
towards it has, but it is a gratuity intensive profession, I suppose, in | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
some respects, but we never expect, absolutely. We will see more in the | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
documentary. Francois, do you want to read this for us, because your | :13:20. | :13:20. | |
voice is so much better! A Very British Hotel | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
is on Channel 4, Tonight, at 9pm. That's it for this morning, | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
I'm back with Steph tomorrow. But for now it's goodbye | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
from us here on Breakfast. | :13:32. | :13:35. |
