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

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

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.

the markets. This is following President Trump's first speech to

:19:07.:19:10.

Congress, many saying it was his most presidential so far, and

:19:11.:19:16.

looking at the market saying new highs. Amongst all the talk of the

:19:17.:19:19.

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

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

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

: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

of neighbourhood policing to focus on other areas, and we're saying

:31:38.:31:40.

absolutely that erosion of neighbourhood policing can't

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.

The world number one needed just an hour

:38:53.:38:56.

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.

health are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline,

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.

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

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.

We'll hear from England's Chief Inspector of Hospitals

:08:56.:09:03.

Senior opponents of President Trump are calling for his newly appointed

:09:04.:09:09.

It's over two undisclosed encounters Jeff Sessions had

:09:10.:09:13.

with the Russian ambassador during the recent presidential

:09:14.:09:15.

Mr Sessions oversees the FBI, which is currently investigating

:09:16.:09:21.

The White House maintains there was no improper contact.

The head of the Oscars says the two accountants responsible for muddling

:09:40.:09:51.

up the main award envelopes at Sunday's ceremony will never

:09:52.:09:53.

were responsible for handing out the envelopes and it's been

:09:54.:09:59.

described as the biggest mistake in 89 years

:10:00.:10:01.

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.

:12:16.:12:17.

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.

Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:18:19.:18:20.

Victims are being let down and suspects left untracked by some

:18:21.:18:23.

police forces in England and Wales, according to a report

:18:24.:18:26.

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.

to guarantee the rights of EU Here is Carol with a look

:18:33.:18:37.

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

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.

Senior opponents of President Trump are calling for his newly appointed

:33:20.:33:22.

It's over two undisclosed encounters Jeff Sessions had

:33:23.:33:26.

with the Russian ambassador during the recent presidential

:33:27.:33:28.

Mr Sessions oversees the FBI, which is currently investigating

:33:29.:33:31.

The White House maintains there was no improper contact.

Voters in Northern Ireland go to the polls today for the second

The head of the Oscars says the two accountants responsible for muddling

:33:47.:33:58.

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.

described as the biggest mistake in 89 years

:34:07.:34:08.

I'm not sure it's just Academy Awards history.

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

They say that elephants never forget but it seems

:34:37.:34:54.

A new study of African elephants in the wild has revealed

:34:55.:34:58.

they sleep on average for just two hours a night.

:34:59.:35:01.

It's the shortest amount time recorded of any mammal on earth.

:35:02.:35:04.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

if they're short on officers. That means they don't have

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

on organised crime because it Only Durham is delivering

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

forces are doing well, but a third may be placing

the public at unacceptable risk Some Chief Constables believe

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

excuse for any force to under deliver on its obligations.

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

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.

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

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

hospitals have been rated as "inadequate" or "needing

:32:07.:32:08.

: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

all of those sorts of things. And where we see a number of those

things happening we would rate it These are things that can be put

about golf, the rules are changing. If you're a golf lover,

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

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

: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

so much for all of the comments and stories that you've sent through to

us this morning, it's really worth talking about them and it's really

wonderful to hear them all so thank you very much and we'll have more

from here and of course it's an issue that will keep on going. More

are still going to prison for producing graffiti,

well. From art to books.

We are surrounded by books, as many people will be. If you take a look

It's the 20th anniversary of World Book Day today and children

across the country are once again celebrating by dressing

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.

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

of our favourites. Crouching behind two of three large

and Lucianne were waiting on the clifftop, Lucianne was nervous. My

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

brief look at the headlines Welcome back, hopefully it was your

news! It's a hotel where no request

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.
