This is Breakfast, with Katherine Downes and Ben

:00:00.:00:07.

Pressure grows on Theresa May to guarantee the rights of EU

:00:08.:00:12.

A committee of MPs says the uncertainty over whether they'll

:00:13.:00:17.

be allowed to stay in Britain after Brexit is "unconscionable".

:00:18.:00:34.

The Chancellor, Phillip Hammond, says there'll be no spending spree

:00:35.:00:45.

as he prepares the economy for life outside the EU.

:00:46.:00:48.

Barack Obama hits back at President Trump.

:00:49.:00:50.

His spokesman strongly denies claims the Obama administration tapped

:00:51.:00:52.

A memorial is to be built in honour of the thousands of British soldiers

:00:53.:01:04.

and sailors killed on the Normandy beaches.

:01:05.:01:09.

:01:17.:01:18.

And Sarah Keith Lucas has the weather.

:01:19.:01:22.

It is a windy day to come, with spells of rain at times, but an

:01:23.:01:28.

improving picture in Scotland and Northern Ireland. A full forecast in

:01:29.:01:30.

about 15 minutes. There's growing pressure this

:01:31.:01:32.

morning on the Prime Minister to safeguard the rights of more

:01:33.:01:36.

than three million EU citizens At the moment there's no

:01:37.:01:39.

guarantee they'll be allowed But a cross-party committee of MPs

:01:40.:01:44.

has called on Theresa May to clarify their position, rather

:01:45.:01:49.

than waiting for the European Union to decide what will happen

:01:50.:01:52.

to British people living Among the group

:01:53.:01:54.

of ten Conservatives, the prominent Leave

:01:55.:02:02.

campaigner Michael Gove. Let's speak to our political

:02:03.:02:04.

correspondent, Susana Mendonca. Talk us through this report. It is

:02:05.:02:12.

interesting, given all we've heard this week, especially about

:02:13.:02:17.

triggering Article 50. There is robust language in its report. They

:02:18.:02:21.

say it is unconscionable that people from the EU who have been living

:02:22.:02:25.

here in Britain and working here could be left in a situation of such

:02:26.:02:32.

uncertainty. Because when Article 50 gets triggered Britain has two years

:02:33.:02:37.

to leave the EU. They say during that period people from the EU need

:02:38.:02:41.

to know whether or not they can stay here. So they are calling on the

:02:42.:02:45.

Prime Minister to be clearer about the position of those EU migrants.

:02:46.:02:51.

They also have some calls for the European Union to give rights also

:02:52.:02:56.

to British citizens who are living and working in the EU, particularly

:02:57.:03:00.

around their access to healthcare and whether or not their pensions

:03:01.:03:04.

will be paid. I've certainly this report is very much focused on what

:03:05.:03:09.

happens to EU migrants here. There is criticism of the system for

:03:10.:03:12.

getting permanent residency, which they say is not fit for purpose.

:03:13.:03:16.

They say it would take more than 100 years for the Home Office to process

:03:17.:03:21.

all 3 million EU citizens in the current situation, in terms of how

:03:22.:03:25.

it is set up at the moment. Of course all of this comes after the

:03:26.:03:30.

Lord's, the House of Lords, passed that amendment, saying it wanted the

:03:31.:03:36.

government to confirm the rights of EU citizens. Now, the government has

:03:37.:03:40.

been clear on this. They say they want a reciprocal deal and they

:03:41.:03:44.

aren't going to confirm whether or not EU citizens have those rights

:03:45.:03:48.

until they know whether or not British citizens in the EU would

:03:49.:03:52.

have reciprocal rights. Hilary Benn, the chair of that committee, says so

:03:53.:03:56.

far there hasn't been enough clarity. The referendum has reached

:03:57.:04:02.

its decision. It is now about how we do the best by people and get the

:04:03.:04:06.

business -- best for Britain out of this process. The fact that all

:04:07.:04:11.

members have agreed on this report, saying with one voice to the

:04:12.:04:14.

government that the right thing to do now is say to the EU citizens who

:04:15.:04:18.

are here, yes, you can stay, we will guarantee that Ciudad have to worry

:04:19.:04:22.

any more. I think that is significant and I hope very much the

:04:23.:04:25.

government will reflect on that and agree to take that step. That's the

:04:26.:04:31.

view on Brexit. Of course the start of the week now as far as the work

:04:32.:04:35.

for the Chancellor is concerned, with the budget on Wednesday. He is

:04:36.:04:39.

expected to lay out some plans on how the economy will fare

:04:40.:04:44.

approaching Article 50. Yes, and he is under a lot of pressure from

:04:45.:04:48.

people who want to see him spending more on things like the NHS, like

:04:49.:04:52.

dealing with social care, the crisis we have in social care, and Spall

:04:53.:04:57.

businesses who are worried about the increase in business rates. -- small

:04:58.:05:02.

businesses. As he has written in the Sunday Times today and he says that

:05:03.:05:07.

he isn't planning to have some sort of spending spree. He criticises

:05:08.:05:11.

those who say he should or more to spend more. He is somebody who we

:05:12.:05:15.

know wants to balance the books and that means to be very much his

:05:16.:05:19.

focus. Thank you for now. More on that later.

:05:20.:05:20.

After 8am, we'll be speaking to the Labour MP Hilary Benn,

:05:21.:05:23.

who chairs the Committee for Exiting the EU.

:05:24.:05:25.

And ?500 million of additional funding will be made available

:05:26.:05:30.

to help streamline training for teenagers in England

:05:31.:05:32.

in industries such as engineering and manufacturing.

:05:33.:05:35.

Philip Hammond will announce the plan as part of the biggest

:05:36.:05:38.

shake up of further education in 70 years.

:05:39.:05:40.

Here's our education editor Branwen Jeffreys.

:05:41.:05:47.

Making cars is a precision business. Employers say more high-level

:05:48.:05:53.

technical skills are needed, not just in in but across the world of

:05:54.:05:59.

work. In the budget this week they will get a promise of support, extra

:06:00.:06:04.

money to back a shakeup in technical education. The biggest thing in

:06:05.:06:08.

England in a generation. 15 new routes into work from training, all

:06:09.:06:14.

including maths, English and digital skills, employers say it is welcome

:06:15.:06:18.

and should help more young people into better paid jobs. It's really

:06:19.:06:22.

were, really important that those who are providing these courses,

:06:23.:06:26.

like colleges, are working closely with businesses in every local area

:06:27.:06:30.

to make sure the courses that are put on match what jobs are available

:06:31.:06:34.

in the local area, because that's how young people will get the best

:06:35.:06:38.

pathways into skilled work. The Chancellor is expected to promise

:06:39.:06:45.

?500 million a year by 2020 to- 2023. That's when 15 new technical

:06:46.:06:49.

training routes will be in place. At further education has seen a 7% real

:06:50.:06:54.

terms cut per student in the last five years. Any colleges in England

:06:55.:06:59.

are facing tough Financial Times. Spending on technical education

:07:00.:07:03.

hasn't grown as fast as in schools. The UK has fallen behind other

:07:04.:07:09.

countries. The hope is more young people with high level skills, but

:07:10.:07:13.

there's a lot of catching up to do at a time when being competitive is

:07:14.:07:15.

more important than ever. Barack Obama has denied accusations

:07:16.:07:16.

by President Trump that he ordered the tapping of phones at Trump Tower

:07:17.:07:19.

in News York during last In a series of messages on social

:07:20.:07:22.

media, President Trump compared the alleged bugging

:07:23.:07:29.

to the Watergate scandal, as our North America

:07:30.:07:34.

correspondent Nick Byrant reports. It was handshakes and friendly

:07:35.:07:46.

harbour. Two men fiercely hostile during the election campaign coming

:07:51.:07:54.

together in a show of presidential and personal stability. -- Lara Kerr

:07:55.:07:59.

Barmer. But this morning Donald Trump launched an attack on a

:08:00.:08:03.

predecessor that in modern times is completely without precedent.

:08:04.:08:06.

Terrible, he wrote in a Twitter tirade.

:08:07.:08:25.

A pro Trump rally outside his towel in New York, a skyscraper that

:08:26.:08:30.

Donald Trump claims was a crime scene. -- towel. But he made these

:08:31.:08:35.

explosive accusations without offering any proof or saying whether

:08:36.:08:38.

they came from intelligence briefings or from reading reports on

:08:39.:08:43.

a right-wing website. A key former aide of Barack Obama has shot like

:08:44.:08:47.

at Mr Trump. No president could order of a wiretap, he says. These

:08:48.:08:52.

restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like

:08:53.:08:58.

you. During last year's campaign, the FBI opened an investigation that

:08:59.:09:02.

still ongoing, looking at leaks between Trump associated and the

:09:03.:09:06.

Russians. This week the new attorney general Jeff Sessions faced calls

:09:07.:09:09.

for his resignation for not disclosing meetings he held with the

:09:10.:09:14.

Russian ambassador. Donald Trump's national security adviser had to

:09:15.:09:17.

resign last month because of conversations about US sanctions

:09:18.:09:20.

against the Kremlin with the same ambassador. Donald Trump began this

:09:21.:09:26.

week with a widely praised speech on Capitol Hill which was supposed to

:09:27.:09:30.

reset his presidency, but this is a speedy return to the kind of angry

:09:31.:09:35.

attacks that many think are far from presidential.

:09:36.:09:38.

The prime minister of Somalia says more than 100 people have died

:09:39.:09:41.

from hunger in the past two days in a single region,

:09:42.:09:47.

The full impact of the drought on the country

:09:48.:09:50.

is still unknown but humanitarian groups have warned of potential

:09:51.:09:53.

famine that could threaten millions of lives.

:09:54.:09:59.

A service will be held today in Belgium to mark Monday's

:10:00.:10:03.

30th anniversary of the Zeebrugge ferry

:10:04.:10:07.

disaster in which almost 200 people were killed.

:10:08.:10:09.

Free Herald of Enterprise was bound for Dover when it capsized just

:10:10.:10:13.

A memorial is to be built close to beaches of the D-day landings

:10:14.:10:24.

in northern France to honour the 21,000 British soldiers

:10:25.:10:27.

and sailors who died during the operation in 1944.

:10:28.:10:29.

The government has donated ?21 million towards the cost

:10:30.:10:32.

of the monument, which will be unveiled on the 75th

:10:33.:10:38.

This is it. They are on the beach. It was the largest operation of its

:10:39.:10:48.

kind ever mounted. In June, 1944, an estimated 21,000 members of the

:10:49.:10:50.

British Armed Forces and Merchant Navy lost their lives as they fought

:10:51.:10:54.

alongside their allies to gain a foothold in occupied Europe. In the

:10:55.:11:02.

70 years since the landings, veterans have returned to the

:11:03.:11:06.

Normandy beaches to remember the fallen, but there is no permanent

:11:07.:11:12.

memorial to the friends they lost. In June, 2014, the Normandy veterans

:11:13.:11:17.

associations gathered to watch their standard lowered for the first time

:11:18.:11:23.

on the seafront, and as their numbers dwindled the decision has

:11:24.:11:25.

been taken to disband. What individuals continue to make the

:11:26.:11:33.

journey. George was 18 when he landed on Gold Beach. The secretary

:11:34.:11:37.

of the Normandy veterans associations he campaigned for a

:11:38.:11:40.

single monument all British casualties on D-Day. Now veterans

:11:41.:11:46.

have been told the government will contribute ?20 million towards a new

:11:47.:11:51.

memorial. It will be erected in one of the French seaside towns that saw

:11:52.:11:55.

fierce fighting and it will bear the names of British soldiers, sailors

:11:56.:12:00.

and air crew come up but also Allied troops who landed with them. The

:12:01.:12:05.

hope is that further funds can be raised towards an interpretation

:12:06.:12:08.

centre, telling the D-Day story to future generations. Surviving

:12:09.:12:12.

veterans are delighted their campaign has been rewarded. They and

:12:13.:12:17.

the government want the memorial to be completed in time for the 75th

:12:18.:12:21.

anniversary of the landings, in June, 2019.

:12:22.:12:24.

The energy company SSE has apologised after some customers

:12:25.:12:27.

were quoted thousands of pounds for a day's gas and electricity.

:12:28.:12:35.

Take a look at these pictures. That will be a shock if you saw that

:12:36.:12:46.

when you came down in the morning! They were malfunctioning metres, but

:12:47.:12:52.

the hugely overestimated usage. The company says no customer will be

:12:53.:12:56.

charged for more than ?6,000 in that case.

:12:57.:13:00.

Imagine how hot your house would be if you did use it as an pounds of

:13:01.:13:05.

gas and electricity! -- ?6,000.

:13:06.:13:08.

Let's have a look at some of the papers. A story on a lot of the

:13:09.:13:15.

front pages this morning. This is on the Sunday Telegraph, that Trump

:13:16.:13:22.

accuses Obama of new Watergate plots. He took to Twitter to accuse

:13:23.:13:27.

Barack Obama of tapping his phone lines at Trump Tower during the

:13:28.:13:31.

presidential election. And a rather blurry picture of Prince Harry in

:13:32.:13:36.

Jamaica at a wedding, with his girlfriend. The first time the

:13:37.:13:40.

couple have been seen together at a formal engagement.

:13:41.:13:44.

The Sunday Times have a picture you may have seen before. A play on the

:13:45.:13:50.

tap and tape. The picture of Donald Trump who sell tapes his tie

:13:51.:13:55.

together. And the story on the right, the ?60 billion of Brexit

:13:56.:13:59.

fighting fund. The budget will be announced on Wednesday. A lot of

:14:00.:14:03.

speculation about what will be in it. The key to point out there's not

:14:04.:14:10.

a lot of money and big spending is reckless.

:14:11.:14:15.

What's missing from the back pages the boxing. It happened so late on

:14:16.:14:20.

that the papers don't have time to get it into print.

:14:21.:14:25.

John, you stayed up to watch it last night? That's my commitment to the

:14:26.:14:33.

team. If I'm not here for the 6:30am sport, come and wake me up! We know

:14:34.:14:38.

where you are. Under a desk somewhere. Talk us through the

:14:39.:14:42.

fight. It was fantastic. It was billed as a mismatch. David Haye, a

:14:43.:14:48.

heavyweight, Tony Bellew stepping up. We thought it would be over in a

:14:49.:14:53.

couple of rounds. David Haye's punching might have seen him through

:14:54.:14:57.

early on with a knockout, but it was terrific. David Haye on four in the

:14:58.:15:03.

first few rounds and then he got an injury, stumbled, and for the rest

:15:04.:15:07.

of the fight could barely stand up. Tony Bellew punched himself out

:15:08.:15:11.

trying to knock him out and fight ended when Tony Bellew eventually

:15:12.:15:18.

punched Haye through the ropes and Haye struggled to get back in the

:15:19.:15:23.

ring. He did get back in, but his corner threw in the towel. And David

:15:24.:15:27.

Haye has gone to hospital to have that ankle injury looked at? Issey

:15:28.:15:32.

OK? He is going to have an operation. -- is he OK. You know all

:15:33.:15:37.

of the trash talk beforehand, then afterwards they embraced, smiles, I

:15:38.:15:42.

love you, mate, so it is set up for a rematch. You think there will be

:15:43.:15:48.

one? I think so. I think once his ankle injury recovers and the

:15:49.:15:52.

operation heels, I think it is really set up for a rematch. It was

:15:53.:15:56.

a terrific match. Because of his injury widow how it would have paid

:15:57.:16:00.

out if we didn't get injured. The quote from Tony Bellew saying he has

:16:01.:16:04.

secured his kids' future. There is a lot of money on this. He will do

:16:05.:16:09.

well. He will want a rematch and so will Haye. They will make millions

:16:10.:16:15.

out of the paper view. I do know what the figures are yet, but they

:16:16.:16:19.

will make a lot of money. It was entertaining. And you have to work

:16:20.:16:23.

hard for those millions. I am not sure I would put myself to 11 rounds

:16:24.:16:27.

with either of them to earn that money!

:16:28.:16:42.

We have an unsettled spell of waste. Some rain around. Particularly when

:16:43.:16:53.

the weather across south Wales and the south-west of England. A better

:16:54.:16:58.

picture for Northern Ireland and Scotland. A front heading west to

:16:59.:17:04.

east. Bringing rain and some hill snow. At nine o'clock, you can see

:17:05.:17:12.

the scattered showers hanging on across Scotland. They should ease

:17:13.:17:20.

later in the day. Rain clearing. Rain across parts of north Wales,

:17:21.:17:26.

the Midlands and south-east will be quite heavy and persistent. I

:17:27.:17:33.

returned to sunshine in the south-east. Blustery showers with

:17:34.:17:39.

winds strengthening. We could have gales. The system pushing east,

:17:40.:17:45.

should clear thought Southern counties but lingering across north

:17:46.:17:51.

Wales. Cold underneath the cloud and rain. The Scotland and Northern

:17:52.:18:00.

Ireland, showers petering out. This evening and overnight, rain clearing

:18:01.:18:05.

from the east. Looking quite cold. Misty patches and fog. The next band

:18:06.:18:12.

of rain coming in on Monday. The rain looks like it will slip down

:18:13.:18:18.

towards Northern fronts fairly quickly. -- France. Heading through

:18:19.:18:31.

into the new working week, Monday night a ridge of high pressure,

:18:32.:18:37.

looking quite to start off Tuesday. An unsettled picture all in all. For

:18:38.:18:42.

many central and eastern areas, choose that looks dry. It is an

:18:43.:18:48.

unsettled picture really add to the next couple of days. Some rain

:18:49.:18:54.

around but some will see some dry and brighter weather. Not as chilly

:18:55.:19:03.

exclamation we will be back with the summary of all the news but now it

:19:04.:19:06.

is time for the film review. Hello and welcome to

:19:07.:19:21.

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

:19:22.:19:23.

week's cinema releases, So a very mixed bag -

:19:24.:19:26.

we have Logan, a superhero movie Viceroy's House, a very handsome

:19:27.:19:33.

period drama from Gurinder Chadha. And Certain Women, the latest

:19:34.:19:40.

low-key offering from Kelly Yeah, although in a way that

:19:41.:19:43.

kind of missells it. So this is basically a superhero

:19:44.:19:56.

movie that isn't about superheroes - it's about ageing, and it's

:19:57.:19:59.

about arthritis, and it's about growing old,

:20:00.:20:01.

and losing your memory. Yeah, it is an X-Men movie

:20:02.:20:03.

for people who prefer westerns Set in a not-too-distant future

:20:04.:20:08.

in which Hugh Jackman's titular character, Wolverine obviously,

:20:09.:20:12.

is making a living as a limo driver. He is looking wretched,

:20:13.:20:14.

drinks, has bloodshot eyes, and he spends his time looking after

:20:15.:20:18.

Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier, who now has what is descibed

:20:19.:20:22.

as a degenerative brain disease in the most dangerous

:20:23.:20:26.

brain in the world. They are living off the grid,

:20:27.:20:29.

trying to stay under the radar, keep themselves to themselves -

:20:30.:20:32.

or at least that is what they're Hey, Carl, it looks

:20:33.:20:35.

like Mr Munson hired some muscle. Now, the interesting thing

:20:36.:20:46.

about the film is often with the superhero comic book

:20:47.:21:06.

franchises, you know exactly This is such a different beast -

:21:07.:21:08.

the plot involves a young girl who Logan finds himself

:21:09.:21:13.

having to take care of, although initially

:21:14.:21:15.

he doesn't want to. He is forced to do

:21:16.:21:17.

so by circumstances. The real themes of the film

:21:18.:21:19.

are violence and redemption - as I said there is

:21:20.:21:22.

a big Western theme. It refers again and again to Shane,

:21:23.:21:24.

and I'm thinking of movies There is a line that recurs

:21:25.:21:27.

time and time again, "There is no living

:21:28.:21:31.

with the killing." Some of the violence does

:21:32.:21:33.

involve a young child, it is bloody and brutal

:21:34.:21:36.

and genuinely properly shocking. Like Deadpool - this

:21:37.:21:38.

is a 15 certificate - But unlike Deadpool,

:21:39.:21:41.

it is played completely straight - It is played as a film

:21:42.:21:45.

about what happens when you get old, when you are looking back and trying

:21:46.:21:50.

to make sense of your life, when you are trying to find some

:21:51.:21:54.

kind of redemption in a world As I said, when you talk about those

:21:55.:21:57.

things, the Western theme Yes, there are action

:21:58.:22:02.

themes, there is violence, And you know me -

:22:03.:22:05.

that is the bit that puts me off, But it has context and meaning,

:22:06.:22:10.

and most importantly it has pain - when it happens it feels painful,

:22:11.:22:14.

it doesn't just feel exciting. And when you think that we have seen

:22:15.:22:17.

so many of these kind of movies in which entire cities are just sort

:22:18.:22:23.

of merrily wiped out and you don't feel anything at all -

:22:24.:22:27.

in this you do. It is directed by James Mangold,

:22:28.:22:30.

obviously, and I think it's a really fine piece of work that stands

:22:31.:22:35.

on its own, and you don't have to have seen or loved the other

:22:36.:22:39.

films to get it and understand it. You should give it a go,

:22:40.:22:42.

because I think it's really The next one I want to like,

:22:43.:22:45.

because I really like Yes, and I do like it -

:22:46.:22:49.

it is a very handsome period drama which blends personal

:22:50.:22:54.

history and politics. It's the story of the partition

:22:55.:22:56.

of India in 1947, so what you have is Hugh Bonneville and Gillian

:22:57.:23:00.

Anderson as Lord and Lady He has been sent there is the last

:23:01.:23:02.

Viceroy to oversee the peaceful The story is told through the prism

:23:03.:23:07.

of the people who are working in the household, so whilst upstairs

:23:08.:23:11.

you have dignitaries and politicians arguing about the fate of nations,

:23:12.:23:14.

downstairs you have all these different characters whose fates

:23:15.:23:17.

seem to reflect those There's a Romeo and Juliet

:23:18.:23:19.

romance at the heart of it, which I have to say

:23:20.:23:23.

was the one false move - What I think does work,

:23:24.:23:26.

Chadha was very clear that she wanted to make a populist

:23:27.:23:31.

drama, that would work for a mainstream multiplex audience,

:23:32.:23:34.

that would address a very difficult and complex subject and do

:23:35.:23:37.

so in a way that was comprehensible, accessible, and also entertaining,

:23:38.:23:40.

and to her great credit I think I know that some people have

:23:41.:23:43.

complained that the film perhaps plays to the gallery,

:23:44.:23:47.

it is too simple, broad strokes characters, but I think that she has

:23:48.:23:50.

understood what the audience needs, and I think she has managed to tell

:23:51.:23:53.

a complicated story in a way Obviously it is a particular

:23:54.:23:57.

take on that story, but I was surprisingly charmed

:23:58.:24:00.

as well, because it is also a movie that has that wry cheeky wit,

:24:01.:24:04.

which are a lot of her stuff does, even among these complex historical

:24:05.:24:07.

events which are so complex, Certain Women - I don't know much

:24:08.:24:10.

about it, but quite a cast. It is great - Kelly Reichardt,

:24:11.:24:16.

of course, the director, gave us Meek's Cutoff

:24:17.:24:19.

and Wendy and Lucy - so essentially this is a triptych

:24:20.:24:22.

of tales by Maile Meloy, and they are put together in one

:24:23.:24:25.

film, and the stories intertwine, In one of them, Laura Dern

:24:26.:24:28.

is a lawyer who has a client who has an old case he keeps coming back to,

:24:29.:24:34.

and she can't move on from it. In another, Michelle Williams

:24:35.:24:38.

is attempting to build a dream house while her life and marriage

:24:39.:24:41.

is falling apart. In the third, Kristen Stewart

:24:42.:24:43.

and Lily Gladstone are a teacher and a rancher respectively who

:24:44.:24:47.

strike up an unlikely friendship. I took this job before

:24:48.:24:50.

I finished law school. I wanted any job - I was afraid

:24:51.:25:00.

of my loans coming through. I guess I was thinking about

:25:01.:25:06.

Belgrave, which is a lot closer. And they are letting me do this

:25:07.:25:17.

because they think it is funny. The pass is icy - it takes me

:25:18.:25:33.

four hours to get here, it is going to take me

:25:34.:25:37.

four hours to get back. Now, you can tell from that,

:25:38.:25:40.

the tone of the film seems to be... Remember that famous quote -

:25:41.:25:46.

Waiting For Godot was a play You could say that this

:25:47.:25:49.

is a film in which nothing But it is in the nothing-happening

:25:50.:25:54.

an awful lot is happening. And a lot of it is to do with,

:25:55.:25:57.

as you saw in that, one character is talking and another

:25:58.:26:02.

character is looking. But it is the looks

:26:03.:26:04.

which are actually saying more than the dialogue,

:26:05.:26:06.

and what I like about this, Kelly Reichardt is a film-maker

:26:07.:26:09.

who works on mood, long shots, you believe in these

:26:10.:26:12.

characters absolutely, and the story is not

:26:13.:26:14.

evident immediately - you have to give it

:26:15.:26:16.

time, let it settle. The performances are

:26:17.:26:18.

fantastically naturalistic - you do believe in the characters,

:26:19.:26:22.

sometimes to the point where you think, I am going to stay

:26:23.:26:25.

with them for a while, even though I am not entirely sure

:26:26.:26:29.

where the narrative thread is going. Over the course of the drama,

:26:30.:26:32.

it does have a cumulative affect, but so much of it is to do

:26:33.:26:37.

with the tone of the atmosphere, you know, the way in which people

:26:38.:26:41.

look at each other, the environment in which they find themselves,

:26:42.:26:45.

the isolation, and the way in which they do or do not relate

:26:46.:26:47.

to the other characters around them That is a very hard sell,

:26:48.:26:51.

because you are not going to put that on a movie poster -

:26:52.:26:56.

a film about the way you may or may not relate to the people

:26:57.:27:00.

and the landscape around you! But it is a film that

:27:01.:27:03.

you have to meet halfway. But she is a superb director,

:27:04.:27:06.

and they are great performances. It sounds absolutely intriguing

:27:07.:27:09.

to me, and that put it And can there be any doubt

:27:10.:27:11.

about film of the week? No - Moonlight is the best thing

:27:12.:27:16.

in cinemas at the moment, the best thing I have seen

:27:17.:27:19.

in a very long time. It won the Best Picture Oscar,

:27:20.:27:22.

and the remarkable thing - when was the last time that the best

:27:23.:27:25.

film of the year actually won It is so brilliant that it did -

:27:26.:27:29.

I think Barry Jenkins has done a brilliant job, a coming-of-age

:27:30.:27:36.

story, a triptych, three periods in the same character's life,

:27:37.:27:39.

played by three different actors. Each one chaptered according

:27:40.:27:41.

to the name of the character. It is about a tough life,

:27:42.:27:44.

but it has got immense beauty, It looks fabulous, you really

:27:45.:27:47.

believe in the characters, it is tactile, sensuous

:27:48.:27:50.

and strange and adventurous, and everything that

:27:51.:27:53.

you want a movie to be. And everything about it kind

:27:54.:27:56.

of says, this is great, there's no way this will win

:27:57.:27:58.

big at the awards - and it did, and it is

:27:59.:28:01.

such a brilliant thing. He is still a very young director,

:28:02.:28:04.

and you don't realise that, in movie terms, it was made

:28:05.:28:09.

on a very small budget. Absolutely tiny, and again it is one

:28:10.:28:13.

of those demonstrations that it is not about your resources

:28:14.:28:15.

- it is about passion, This is a low-budget movie,

:28:16.:28:19.

when you compare what it is up You talk about passion

:28:20.:28:25.

and it commitment - I, Daniel Blake, and this

:28:26.:28:30.

was overlooked by the Academy, and it is a great shame that it was,

:28:31.:28:36.

because it was unbelievably powerful - directed by Ken Loach,

:28:37.:28:41.

wonderful script, great performances by Dave Johns and Hayley Squires,

:28:42.:28:43.

and a story which basically has a message, the message being that

:28:44.:28:46.

bureaucracy and bureaucratic inefficiency can be used

:28:47.:28:49.

as a tool of repression. That doesn't sound like it

:28:50.:28:53.

will make for great drama, but it does - it is about characters

:28:54.:28:56.

that you know and like and care about, and it has got a sequence

:28:57.:29:00.

that has been referred to many times - the food bank sequence -

:29:01.:29:04.

that I think is one of the most perfect pieces of film-making,

:29:05.:29:08.

understated film-making. The cameras stay a long way

:29:09.:29:09.

away from the character, they watch the action

:29:10.:29:12.

play out in real time, So moving.

:29:13.:29:14.

It really is. It is not just that it has

:29:15.:29:18.

a message, the way in which tells I think just as a piece of

:29:19.:29:21.

film-making, it is really brilliant. I, Daniel Blake is out on DVD -

:29:22.:29:26.

if you don't want to go to the cinema this week,

:29:27.:29:30.

stay at home and watch that, It is a good week

:29:31.:29:33.

in all its variety. A quick reminder before we go that

:29:34.:29:38.

you'll find more film news and reviews from across the BBC

online at bbc.co.uk/film. And you can find all our previous

programmes on the BBC iPlayer. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:29:45.:29:51.

with Ben Thompson and Katherine Coming up before 7am,

:29:52.:30:32.

Sarah will be here with a roundup But first, a summary of this

:30:33.:30:36.

morning's main news. The Prime Minister is facing growing

:30:37.:30:41.

pressure to safeguard the rights of more than three million EU

:30:42.:30:44.

citizens living and working A cross-party committee of MPs has

:30:45.:30:47.

called on Theresa May to clarify now whether they'll be allowed

:30:48.:30:53.

to stay after Brexit, rather than first waiting for the EU

:30:54.:30:55.

to decide what will happen to British people living

:30:56.:30:58.

on the continent. The referendum has

:30:59.:31:03.

reached its decision. It's now about how we do the best

:31:04.:31:07.

by people and get the best outcome for Britain

:31:08.:31:12.

in these negotiations. The fact that all members have

:31:13.:31:14.

agreed on this report, saying with one voice

:31:15.:31:17.

to the government that the right thing to do now is to say

:31:18.:31:21.

to the European citizens who are here,

:31:22.:31:24.

"Yes, you can stay. "We will guarantee that,

:31:25.:31:26.

so you don't have to I think that is significant

:31:27.:31:29.

and I hope very much the government will reflect on that

:31:30.:31:33.

and agree to take that step. The Chancellor has described

:31:34.:31:35.

as "reckless" calls for him to increase spending in his first

:31:36.:31:38.

Budget on Wednesday. Writing in the Sunday Times,

:31:39.:31:40.

Philip Hammond said the economy had proven to be robust,

:31:41.:31:43.

but there was still a need for discipline as the country

:31:44.:31:46.

prepares for Brexit. As part of this week's budget,

:31:47.:31:50.

the Chancellor will also announce plans for ?500 million

:31:51.:31:54.

in additional funding for the technical training

:31:55.:32:02.

for 16-19-year-olds. The money will be used

:32:03.:32:04.

to replace thousands of qualifications with training

:32:05.:32:06.

tailored to the needs of different industries, such as engineering

:32:07.:32:09.

and manufacturing. Barack Obama has strongly denied

:32:10.:32:10.

accusations by President Trump that he ordered phones

:32:11.:32:13.

at Trump Tower in New York to be tapped during last

:32:14.:32:16.

year's US election. In a series of messages

:32:17.:32:18.

on social media, Donald Trump compared the alleged

:32:19.:32:20.

bugging to the Watergate scandal China's annual parliamentary session

:32:21.:32:23.

has opened in Beijing, with the Communist Party leadership

:32:24.:32:30.

setting out its priorities High on the agenda will be the state

:32:31.:32:32.

of the Chinese economy, as well as challenges the country

:32:33.:32:37.

faces in tackling air pollution. A memorial is to be built close

:32:38.:32:46.

to the beaches of the D-Day landings in northern France to honour

:32:47.:32:50.

the thousands of British soldiers and sailors who died

:32:51.:32:53.

during the operation in 1944. The government has donated ?21

:32:54.:32:55.

million towards the cost of the monument,

:32:56.:32:58.

which will be unveiled on the 75th We will be hearing more about the

:32:59.:33:13.

plans for that memorial later. Now it is early morning for John, who

:33:14.:33:20.

stayed up last night to watch the boxing. He probably went to bed at

:33:21.:33:22.

midnight? About that. I finished at about

:33:23.:33:28.

11:30pm and had to go to sleep quickly. It really was a terrific

:33:29.:33:34.

fight and nobody expected it. Tony Bellew arms aloft after beating

:33:35.:33:37.

David Haye. Many thought it would be a bit of a mismatch.

:33:38.:33:40.

Tony Bellew upset all the odds to win in a classic

:33:41.:33:43.

David Haye was the firm favourite coming into it,

:33:44.:33:47.

but he injured his ankle in the sixth round and could only

:33:48.:33:50.

His corner threw in the towel in the 11th round, when Bellew

:33:51.:33:55.

He tried to get back through, but the towel came flying in.

:33:56.:34:03.

After all the trash talk in the build up, the pair embraced

:34:04.:34:06.

and were all smiles after the fight, which is set up nicely

:34:07.:34:09.

I've just done what Wladimir Klitschko couldn't do. I've just

:34:10.:34:18.

done what are world's greatest heavyweight champions couldn't do.

:34:19.:34:21.

Tonight I claim my glory. He was hurt, genuinely hurt, in a bad way.

:34:22.:34:27.

So I carried him. His weight was on me. He is a heavy man. I felt the

:34:28.:34:33.

weight of that 16 stone as I carried him. It is all water under the

:34:34.:34:37.

bridge. We shook hands. Unhappy I've come through the night. Happy we

:34:38.:34:41.

both go home safe and unhappy I've come to this arena again.

:34:42.:34:46.

England's women snatched a dramatic victory over the world champions USA

:34:47.:34:49.

in their second match of the She Believes Cup

:34:50.:34:51.

The only goal of the game came in the 89th minute from substitute

:34:52.:34:56.

Ellen White to keep alive the Lionesses hopes

:34:57.:34:58.

Liverpool have moved up to third in the Premier League after beating

:34:59.:35:14.

Goals weren't the main talking points though yesterday,

:35:15.:35:17.

The futures of Arsene Wenger and Alexis Sanchez at Arsenal remain

:35:18.:35:29.

uncertain and won't have been helped by the manager leaving out his star

:35:30.:35:32.

player against Liverpool. He claimed it was a tactical decision, but it

:35:33.:35:35.

soon backfired. Eight minutes gone! Sardi and Manet

:35:36.:35:47.

made it 2-0 before half-time, calling on Arsene Wenger to call on

:35:48.:35:51.

his most potent striker. Out comes the keeper! Sanchez, almost

:35:52.:35:58.

immediate! The change in approach was too little too late. And rub --

:35:59.:36:07.

salt was robbed into the wounds. I don't deny that Alex Sanchez is a

:36:08.:36:11.

great player. I bought him and I always play him. A decision like

:36:12.:36:18.

that is not easy to make, but you have to stand up for it. Goals

:36:19.:36:22.

weren't the talking point at Old Trafford either, as Manchester

:36:23.:36:26.

United failed to beat Bournemouth in a bruising encounter. For the record

:36:27.:36:30.

Marcus Robbo gave United lead midway through. Josh king equalised after

:36:31.:36:36.

Phil James brought down another player. But the match will be

:36:37.:36:39.

remanded for the altercations that went unpunished. That was a

:36:40.:36:44.

challenge on the Wayne Rooney and you can see that the boot catches

:36:45.:36:48.

Ibrahimovic's head and he knew who it was and thrust his elbow back

:36:49.:36:53.

into the face of him. He has to go, but he hasn't. He jumped into my

:36:54.:36:57.

elbow. Many times in these occasions it happens and I hope he didn't get

:36:58.:37:03.

injured. Everything is highlighted more than others, but I enjoyed it.

:37:04.:37:09.

It was a good battle. Obviously you know what you will come up against.

:37:10.:37:12.

Leicester City secured consecutive league wins for the first time this

:37:13.:37:16.

season after coming from behind to beat Hull City 3-1. Riyad Mahrez

:37:17.:37:21.

scored his first league goal since November, listing Craig

:37:22.:37:26.

Shakespeare's hopes of getting the manager's job after the club sacked

:37:27.:37:30.

Claudio Ranieri. It turned out to be all is well that ends well at the

:37:31.:37:32.

stadium. The quote at the weekend, he jumped

:37:33.:37:34.

into my elbow! The other results in the premier

:37:35.:37:39.

league saw Middlesbrough drop into the relegation zone

:37:40.:37:41.

after losing at Stoke. A late goal gave Swansea

:37:42.:37:44.

an important win over Burnley. A high scoring game at Watford

:37:45.:37:47.

ended 4-3 to Southampton and Crystal Palace won their first

:37:48.:37:53.

game since January at West Brom. Newcastle United have

:37:54.:37:56.

extended their lead at the top of the Championship to five points,

:37:57.:37:59.

with a 3-1 victory at Huddersfield. A penalty from Matt Ritchie

:38:00.:38:02.

and a goal from Daryl Murphy put the Magpies ahead, before

:38:03.:38:05.

Dwight Gayle rounded off the win Rangers are through to

:38:06.:38:08.

the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup. But referee John Beaton came

:38:09.:38:13.

in for some criticism. Hamilton felt Rangers striker

:38:14.:38:17.

Joe Garner could have been sent off Hamilton boss Martin Canning wasn't

:38:18.:38:20.

happy with the officials, but he was equally unhappy

:38:21.:38:31.

with his team's defending. In yesterday's other cup quarter

:38:32.:38:39.

final, Hibs beat Ayr 3-1 and,

:38:40.:38:46.

in the Premiership, Kilmarnock lost There was success for

:38:47.:38:47.

Great Britain's athletes at the European Indoor

:38:48.:38:51.

Championships in Belgrade. Laura Muir continued

:38:52.:38:53.

her fantastic season, taking gold in the 1500 metres

:38:54.:38:54.

in a new British record. Team-mate Sarah McDonald

:38:55.:38:57.

finished sixth. Fantastic. I mean, I'm just so

:38:58.:39:12.

happy! It feels like a long time coming to win a medal. I'm so happy.

:39:13.:39:23.

I just wanted to run a quick race, but I never envisaged to do that.

:39:24.:39:25.

Yeah, this is brilliant. And the success continued

:39:26.:39:26.

in the men's 60 metres sprint with Richard Kilty

:39:27.:39:29.

defending his title. Fellow Briton Theo Etienne,

:39:30.:39:33.

making his senior debut, It is absolutely amazing to defend

:39:34.:39:44.

it. I do know what to say. There have been so many emotions the last

:39:45.:39:49.

couple of weeks and my life changed now. A different life. I've just

:39:50.:39:54.

come out and defended my European title. I've never been defeated in

:39:55.:39:58.

the major championships and it feels absolutely awesome. I can't believe

:39:59.:40:00.

it. Andy Murray has won

:40:01.:40:00.

the Dubai Tennis Championship for the first time, beating

:40:01.:40:02.

Fernando Verdasco by two It's Murray's first title this year

:40:03.:40:05.

and extends his lead over Novak Djokovic at the top

:40:06.:40:09.

of the world rankings. It is obviously nice to win again. I

:40:10.:40:20.

haven't managed to win this one before. I've played here quite a few

:40:21.:40:24.

times, so obviously good to get the first title of the year. Yeah,

:40:25.:40:27.

hopefully I can keep the momentum going.

:40:28.:40:28.

And it's been a good 24 hours for the Murray brothers,

:40:29.:40:30.

as Jamie won his first doubles title of the year with partner Bruno

:40:31.:40:34.

They beat John Isner and Feliciano Lopez 6-3,

:40:35.:40:36.

There's a new name to watch out for in British men's triathlon

:40:37.:40:42.

and just for once it isn't Brownlee.

:40:43.:40:45.

Thomas Bishop, who's also a yorkshireman,

:40:46.:40:48.

finished second in the first Triathlon World Series

:40:49.:40:51.

The 25-year-old from Leeds had been two seconds clear of the field

:41:52.:42:05.

Justin Thomas. An ace at the 13th. We will have a look at that later,

:42:06.:42:08.

it is worth watching. That's all your sport for now.

:42:09.:42:12.

It has been a busy week. We didn't get to see the hole in one!

:42:13.:42:14.

You will. You said it was an absolute pitch!

:42:15.:42:21.

T is! You've got to keep them wanting more. -- peach.

:42:22.:42:27.

What a tease. We want to see that. We will do our best!

:42:28.:42:32.

It was one of the worst maritime tragedies in living memory.

:42:33.:42:35.

The Zeebrugge disaster began within minutes of the Free Herald

:42:36.:42:38.

30 years on, the victims will be remembered at a memorial service

:42:39.:42:59.

We'll discuss this in more detail in a moment, but first let's look

:43:00.:43:03.

Every survivor tells of the great speed at which the disaster overtook

:43:04.:43:14.

her. Without warning she tilted, first gently, then violently.

:43:15.:43:50.

Joining us now is Stuart Rivers, the Chief Executive Officer

:43:51.:43:57.

of Sailors' Society, which supports survivors

:43:58.:43:58.

Hard to believe it is 30 years since the awful disaster. We got a taste

:43:59.:44:06.

of what happened, but on us through what went on and what happened

:44:07.:44:11.

afterwards, that prolonged investigation that seemed to get

:44:12.:44:15.

nowhere. Well, actually, the incident itself happened very

:44:16.:44:20.

quickly. As you've reported, in 90 seconds the ship capsized. But of

:44:21.:44:25.

course then there would have been a period of confusion, panic and quite

:44:26.:44:33.

terrifying situations. You know, the rescue operation went ahead. It is

:44:34.:44:39.

interesting, you say that the investigation took forever, but

:44:40.:44:43.

actually it was far quicker than many other investigations. It really

:44:44.:44:47.

got to the cause of some of the issues very quickly in that sense.

:44:48.:44:51.

So, yes, it was a terrifying situation. What changed as a result?

:44:52.:44:57.

The fundamental problem was to do with the doors. They weren't closed

:44:58.:45:01.

properly and water got onto the ship. What has changed since? There

:45:02.:45:06.

were a lot of lessons. Absolutely. Obviously it has had an impact on

:45:07.:45:10.

the way ships are designed. Security features that they have. It is also

:45:11.:45:21.

-- it has also led to the marine accident investigation bureau, which

:45:22.:45:26.

came two years later. So apart from safety improving, procedural safety

:45:27.:45:29.

has improved and the way safety standards is set is far more

:45:30.:45:34.

rigourous now. You still work closely with the families of people

:45:35.:45:37.

who lost their relatives in the disaster. 30 years on, the grief I

:45:38.:45:45.

imagine is still pretty raw? It is. For many of these people they

:45:46.:45:51.

actually take comfort in the fact that they come together every year

:45:52.:45:55.

and have done since this disaster. For this annual service. They

:45:56.:46:00.

comfort each other. So it is still raw, but I think it's a good

:46:01.:46:04.

opportunity for people to just deal with that grief.

:46:05.:46:10.

The case collapsed because of a lack of evidence, has that been a

:46:11.:46:19.

challenge for the families that no one was held accountable for the

:46:20.:46:24.

disaster? What is clear is there were many failings and they did not

:46:25.:46:29.

live with one particular person or organisation but in terms of the

:46:30.:46:35.

families, where they are now, is very reflective of the incident.

:46:36.:46:43.

Some of them are happy to talk about their experience and, of course, the

:46:44.:46:53.

society's experience was very close to theirs. We were providing

:46:54.:46:58.

assistance both there and in Dover. It is a close relationship we have

:46:59.:47:04.

with these families. Take us back to that day, what do you remember? So

:47:05.:47:12.

vivid, I remember seeing that picture in the news coverage. It was

:47:13.:47:15.

one of the worst maritime disaster is since the world but no one was

:47:16.:47:22.

prosecuted, no one has been held accountable, with that in mind what

:47:23.:47:26.

will go through the minds of families? We had five chaplains

:47:27.:47:37.

working at Dover Zeebrugge. For many months there would have been a sense

:47:38.:47:43.

of shock and people coming to terms with what happened. This is not to

:47:44.:47:50.

say the biggest maritime disaster in terms of loss of lives since 1914.

:47:51.:47:55.

It was a significant event. If you look at some of the individual

:47:56.:48:02.

stories, you get a sense of the raw emotions. There was a young man, 17

:48:03.:48:09.

years old, just finished maritime academy and it was his first

:48:10.:48:13.

placement. He had been in the job two weeks and he lost his life.

:48:14.:48:21.

Other families, some recall how people gave their lives for others

:48:22.:48:27.

in trying to save people within the ship. And also those people who were

:48:28.:48:36.

perhaps distant from these but were suddenly drawn into the situation

:48:37.:48:42.

because of a relative losing their lives. We should not forget that

:48:43.:48:52.

this affected passengers, families, crew, port workers in both paws. It

:48:53.:48:57.

had a devastating effect on the community. -- ports. Thank you so

:48:58.:49:08.

much for coming to talk to us. Let's check on what the weather is doing

:49:09.:49:10.

this we have some wet weather on the

:49:11.:49:19.

clouds. Not everyone is going to see it but there will be some rain

:49:20.:49:23.

around and breezy conditions particularly in Wales. A frontal

:49:24.:49:30.

system dominating, moving west across much of England and Wales.

:49:31.:49:35.

The Scotland and Northern Ireland, the low pressure tending to clear

:49:36.:49:41.

towards the north. Some showers across Scotland. They should be

:49:42.:49:46.

easing away later in the day. Wet weather to start the day in Northern

:49:47.:49:51.

Ireland but an improving picture. Some sunshine in the north of

:49:52.:49:56.

England. The bulk of cloud and rain and sleet and snow over the highest

:49:57.:50:01.

ground here. Towards the south-west, we are looking at showers finding

:50:02.:50:05.

in, some heavy and the last three. The winds picking up across the

:50:06.:50:14.

south-west of England. 50- 60 mph. Towards Midlands and Wales, the rain

:50:15.:50:22.

not clearing in a hurry. Further north, a better day to come for

:50:23.:50:28.

Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures at 7- 11 degrees. Rain

:50:29.:50:35.

clearing towards the east, like the winds some missed and is forming and

:50:36.:50:39.

perhaps a touch of frost. Through the hours of Monday morning, and

:50:40.:50:44.

next band of rain arrives from the south-west. It looks like it is

:50:45.:50:50.

likely to have a glancing blow three Wales before clearing into northern

:50:51.:50:57.

France. For the rest of UK, another bad day. Some showers. Then a slight

:50:58.:51:10.

slightly quieter period. Can fear conveyor belt of low pressure

:51:11.:51:17.

arriving from the west. -- conveyor. Unsettled through the next two days,

:51:18.:51:23.

spells of rain, and temperatures as we head towards Wednesdays heading

:51:24.:51:29.

towards 14 degrees. Manchester I imagine will be characteristically

:51:30.:51:35.

soggy. It was all right this morning.

:51:36.:51:37.

More than 90% of people around the world live in areas

:51:38.:51:40.

where the air they breathe is so polluted

:51:41.:51:42.

it doesn't meet air quality standards.

:51:43.:51:44.

And in many areas, air pollution continues to get worse

:51:45.:51:47.

as part of the BBC's So I Can Breathe series,

:51:48.:51:54.

we'll be looking at what is being done to tackle the problem.

:51:55.:51:57.

Our Environment Correspondent David Shukman has been taking a look.

:51:58.:52:07.

Air pollution, what exactly is it and how bad is it for you? Most of

:52:08.:52:15.

it comes from traffic, nitrogen dioxide and tiny particles from

:52:16.:52:21.

exhaust fumes. You cannot actually see some of the most damaging

:52:22.:52:28.

pollution, it is called PM 2.5 and involves particles that are

:52:29.:52:35.

microscopically small. Let's use virtual reality to visualise them.

:52:36.:52:39.

Less than 2.5 Micro and across so you could fit 400 in a single

:52:40.:52:45.

millimetre. By comparison, a grain of sand is 20 times larger. Now this

:52:46.:52:53.

matters because if particles at a small enough, they can get into the

:52:54.:52:57.

lungs but also into the bloodstream. The largest particles are caught in

:52:58.:53:02.

the nose but the very smallest can pass through the nose and connect

:53:03.:53:07.

the nose to the rain and it is possible but not confirmed that they

:53:08.:53:11.

could break the connection is between rain cells leading to

:53:12.:53:17.

dementia, though this is not proven. UK scientists estimate at pollution

:53:18.:53:24.

cuts British lives by an average of six months. It is linked to heart

:53:25.:53:30.

attack, lung disease and asthma. Pollution limits are breached by 23

:53:31.:53:37.

over 28 countries in the EU and the government here is under legal

:53:38.:53:41.

pressure to come up with a new clear a plan next month.

:53:42.:53:46.

BBC's Environment Correspondent, David Shukman with that report.

:53:47.:53:48.

There'll be lots more on the subject of air pollution across the BBC

:53:49.:53:52.

this week and you can find out more by searching

:53:53.:53:55.

Tomorrow on Breakfast, we'll be looking at how one school

:53:56.:53:59.

is working to reduce emissions during the school run.

:54:00.:54:10.

DUs suffer from FOMO? It is the fear of missing out. Are you a fair you

:54:11.:54:21.

will miss out on something if you leave your phone at home?

:54:22.:54:24.

Officials at Public Health England are so concerned about it's impact

:54:25.:54:27.

on young people, they're encouraging schools to address the issue

:54:28.:54:30.

in lessons, along with body image worries and stress.

:54:31.:54:32.

Let's discuss this with agony aunt and parenting advisor,

:54:33.:54:35.

Good morning. You have written a book about FOMO and it is not a new

:54:36.:54:48.

thing. Can you blame it on social media but it has been going on for a

:54:49.:54:52.

long, long time. You cannot blame it on that but you can perhaps say it

:54:53.:54:59.

makes it worse. People are much more aware of the idea that there is so

:55:00.:55:04.

much going on. It is interesting, when I wrote my book I wrote it with

:55:05.:55:11.

a child psychologist. We started writing this book for parents on the

:55:12.:55:15.

digital technology. How to deal with cyber bullying, FOMO. We started

:55:16.:55:22.

writing it as a warning, how to stop it, how to control your children

:55:23.:55:29.

then went on found the enormous possibilities of being on social

:55:30.:55:34.

media and all these sorts of things so the book ended up saying it is

:55:35.:55:38.

about picking and choosing an understanding. You do not say to

:55:39.:55:43.

your children, don't be so stupid, don't worry, you must put that down,

:55:44.:55:51.

you say, let's talk about it. What are you fearing you are missing out

:55:52.:55:55.

on? What is the worst thing that can happen? And you allow your child to

:55:56.:56:03.

act critically. You have it, I have it. We have to examine in ourselves

:56:04.:56:09.

how we behave in front of our children and what is the message

:56:10.:56:18.

given. That is the message from health authorities. About putting it

:56:19.:56:23.

into context. If you are looking at your phone at home, on the bus, you

:56:24.:56:28.

assume everyone is having a wonderful time. In a sense, you

:56:29.:56:34.

always have. People do think everybody else is having a wonderful

:56:35.:56:38.

time but it seems you have evidence because you have photographs. But

:56:39.:56:45.

you do not see them taking photographs of themselves at sitting

:56:46.:56:49.

at home being miserable. You are putting up the stuff that makes you

:56:50.:56:53.

look good and feel good. What you are looking for is affirmation and

:56:54.:57:00.

acceptance. That is what we are looking for. It is maybe about

:57:01.:57:03.

helping young people realise this is what we are about but may be

:57:04.:57:08.

habitable as a conversation rather than putting up doctors she is. Do

:57:09.:57:14.

you think the lesson to make a difference? Winner we do it we post

:57:15.:57:18.

the best of ourselves but it does not translate when we look at

:57:19.:57:22.

somebody else and think that is the best of their day all that is a fake

:57:23.:57:27.

representation, will the lessons work? The point of the lessons is

:57:28.:57:33.

not to lecture but to help people think it through. It is to help

:57:34.:57:39.

people analyse what is going on, think about why I do these things,

:57:40.:57:44.

why other people do these things. If you think it through and discuss it,

:57:45.:57:48.

it will make a tremendous difference. Do you think schools are

:57:49.:57:55.

the best place to do this? Like you say, at schools children are not on

:57:56.:58:02.

the phone posting pictures, it is after-school that post pictures of

:58:03.:58:07.

what they are doing with their friends, with their lives stop do

:58:08.:58:12.

you think school is the best place? I think it has to be schools and

:58:13.:58:19.

parents helping model, you need to show the way as a parent, you need

:58:20.:58:24.

to not be on your phone all the time. Screens all off an hour before

:58:25.:58:31.

bedtime, no screens in the bedroom. You have to model that. If you are

:58:32.:58:36.

having problems with that, you have to think that through. We still

:58:37.:58:41.

thinks of lessons at being a lecture. It is not about that

:58:42.:58:44.

comment is about sitting down and working out what can be different.

:58:45.:58:49.

Think of it perhaps not so much as do not post, that worry about being

:58:50.:58:55.

left out, it is about give your friends the gift of having to

:58:56.:59:00.

explain to you what they have been up to you. We will talk more later.

:59:01.:59:09.

Presenting the other side of that, the reality. Malmsey mum and all

:59:10.:59:15.

those people. There is an alternative out there. Still to come

:59:16.:59:19.

on it first, and in-depth look in the Sunday papers. Headlines are

:59:20.:59:23.

than three million EU citizens At the moment there's no

:01:54.:01:56.

guarantee they'll be allowed But a cross-party committee of MPs

:01:57.:02:06.

has called on Theresa May to clarify their position, rather

:02:07.:02:10.

than waiting for the European Union to decide what will happen

:02:11.:02:13.

to British people living Among the group are

:02:14.:02:15.

ten Conservatives, including the prominent Leave

:02:16.:02:18.

campaigner Michael Gove. Let's speak to our political

:02:19.:02:20.

correspondent, Susana Mendonca. It is interesting because given all

:02:21.:02:29.

of the debate we've heard about triggering Article 50 this is one

:02:30.:02:33.

thing that they can't agree on. Indeed. It is difficult. The report

:02:34.:02:38.

here uses pretty robust language and it basically says to the government

:02:39.:02:42.

that it is unconscionable that people who have lived here and

:02:43.:02:46.

worked here, European citizens, should have a period of two years

:02:47.:02:50.

while they don't know what will happen. They say those people

:02:51.:02:53.

shouldn't be used as bargaining chips. This is an argument with her

:02:54.:02:58.

time and again. This report combines people from all different parties,

:02:59.:03:02.

including Brexiteers, people voted to leave the EU, saying those EU

:03:03.:03:06.

citizens who already live and work it should be given guarantee. The

:03:07.:03:09.

government has been under increasing pressure in this issue, not least

:03:10.:03:13.

from the House of Lords. The amendment last week called on the

:03:14.:03:19.

same thing. It might be defeated again in the Commons, at that

:03:20.:03:23.

continued pressure on the government to continue the rights of EU

:03:24.:03:28.

citizens. It also says European countries should guarantee rights of

:03:29.:03:32.

Brits living abroad and there are about a million of those. They say

:03:33.:03:37.

those people should know whether they will have access to healthcare

:03:38.:03:41.

and if their pensions will be paid. The government's point of view is

:03:42.:03:46.

until they get a reciprocal deal for UK citizens abroad they don't want

:03:47.:03:49.

to make any promises about EU citizens living here. Hilary Benn,

enough. -- of the committee. The referendum has

reached its decision. It's now about how we do the best

by people and get the best The fact that all members have

:04:03.:04:06.

agreed on this report, saying with one voice

:04:07.:04:10.

to the government that the right thing to do now is say to the EU

:04:11.:04:12.

citizens who are here, "We will guarantee that so you don't

:04:13.:04:16.

have to worry any more." I think that is significant

:04:17.:04:20.

and I hope very much the government will reflect on that

:04:21.:04:24.

and agree to take that step. That's the debate about people. We

:04:25.:04:34.

:04:38.:04:44.

should go, -- say he should go on a reckless spending spree. He is quite

:04:45.:04:50.

a -- under quite a lot of pressure, not least because of whether the NHS

:04:51.:04:54.

has enough funding, and social care. Certainly there's a crisis in terms

:04:55.:04:59.

of the funding there and business rates. A lot of small businesses are

:05:00.:05:03.

likely to be hit, the calls for him to put more into that. What I as

:05:04.:05:08.

suppose the Chancellor is just setting the scene, that he won't be

:05:09.:05:11.

spending a lot of money when he announces the budget on Wednesday.

:05:12.:05:13.

Thanks very much. After 8am, we'll be speaking

in New York, a skyscraper that Donald Trump claims

:06:29.:06:31.

was a crime scene. But he made these explosive

:06:32.:06:33.

accusations without offering any proof or saying

:06:34.:06:36.

whether they came from intelligence briefings or from reading reports

:06:37.:06:40.

on a right-wing website. A key former aide of Barack Obama

:06:41.:06:49.

has shot back at Mr Trump. "No president can order

a wiretap", he says. "These restrictions were put

with the same ambassador. Donald Trump began this week

:07:26.:07:28.

with a widely praised speech on Capitol Hill, which was supposed

:07:29.:07:31.

to reset his presidency, but this is a speedy return

:07:32.:07:34.

to the kind of angry attacks that many think

:07:35.:07:37.

are far from presidential. China's annual parliamentary session

:07:38.:07:48.

has opened in Beijing, with the Communist Party leadership

:07:49.:07:50.

setting out its priorities High on the agenda is the state

:07:51.:07:52.

of the Chinese economy. Let's get the details

:07:53.:07:57.

from our China editor, Carrie Gracie, who joins

:07:58.:08:00.

us from Beijing. Remind us what this meeting is and

:08:01.:08:12.

why we should be interested. Well, it's not exactly Westminster, that's

:08:13.:08:17.

the first thing to say. That's the Congress building behind me and the

:08:18.:08:21.

red flags are a reason. It's not just the colour of China, it is the

:08:22.:08:26.

colour of the Communist Party. The whole thing involves 3000

:08:27.:08:29.

hand-picked delegates. They file in and dutifully sit there, paging the

:08:30.:08:37.

42 pages of the Premier's State of the Nation speech rest as his

:08:38.:08:42.

reasoning -- reading it. Very important to not look like you are

:08:43.:08:46.

bored or asleep. That's a career ending moment if you do that. They

:08:47.:08:50.

read it carefully and applaud on cue and at the end of the session in ten

:08:51.:08:54.

days they approve it overwhelmingly. So the whole thing is very carefully

:08:55.:08:59.

choreographed, right down to the sky colour. I hope you can see it isn't

:09:00.:09:04.

a bad day. We've got some blue sky. That's because all of the factories

:09:05.:09:07.

in the surrounding area have been switched off. They've been suspended

:09:08.:09:13.

so we can get blue skies for China's annual session of Parliament. Huge

:09:14.:09:19.

security as well. We just walked around the whole of Tiananmen Square

:09:20.:09:22.

for 1.5 hours before we could find this spot, the height of the hall of

:09:27.:09:32.

the interesting things were saying that they will turn the sky is blue,

:09:33.:09:40.

that's one promise. So a lot of commitments to cleaning up the air.

:09:41.:09:46.

Also references to Donald Trump in terms of talking about an

:09:47.:09:48.

increasingly grave and challenging international situation with growing

:09:49.:09:53.

protectionism. And a lot of praising references to the leader of the

:09:54.:09:56.

Chinese Communist Party and the Communist Party itself as a strong

:09:57.:10:02.

centre of China. Absolutely fascinating how it all works over

:10:03.:10:06.

there. Thanks very much for bringing us up to date.

:10:07.:10:10.

The service will be held in Belgium, to honour the thousands of British

:10:11.:10:22.

soldiers and sailors who died during the operation in 1994. Earlier, we

:10:23.:10:34.

were told lessons had been learned. It has obviously had an impact on

:10:35.:10:38.

the way ships are designed and the security features they have, but it

:10:39.:10:44.

has also led to the establishment of the marine and accident

:10:45.:10:46.

investigation bureau, which came two years later. So apart from ship

:10:47.:10:52.

safety improving, procedural safety has improved and the way that safety

:10:53.:10:57.

standards are set is actually far more rigourous now.

:10:58.:11:00.

Last night saw an unpredictable contest that saw an upsetting

:11:01.:11:08.

British boxing history. John, you stayed up last night to watch this.

:11:09.:11:12.

Talk us through. It was a thrilling match, wasn't it? What was I

:11:13.:11:18.

thinking, staying up late? When the alarm went off at 3am, I thought,

:11:19.:11:23.

why did I do that? But it was a terrific fight. We thought it was

:11:24.:11:28.

going to be a mismatch because Tony Bellew was stepping up the

:11:29.:11:31.

heavyweight and we thought David Hayward Nokia now. But David Haye

:11:32.:11:35.

found himself on the campus. -- knock him out. David Haye won maybe

:11:36.:11:44.

the first couple of rounds. But then it turned out David Haye popped his

:11:45.:11:49.

Achilles. He stumbled, that is apparently very painful. He

:11:50.:11:52.

literally fought on one leg for the rest of the fight. He could only

:11:53.:11:56.

really throw a left hand, because he could only push off on the right

:11:57.:12:01.

leg, so a very strange fight. It does show you what an incredible

:12:02.:12:05.

athlete David Haye is, that he can withstand Tony Bellew, who is a

:12:06.:12:09.

brilliant fighter himself, world champion, at cruiserweight, for that

:12:10.:12:15.

long on one leg! Only being able to punch with his left hand! It was

:12:16.:12:21.

brutal. He did five rounds on one leg, not really being able to throw

:12:22.:12:25.

a punch. He got knocked into the ropes at the end and tried to climb

:12:26.:12:30.

his way back through to carry on, at his corner said no, that was enough.

:12:31.:12:34.

They threw the towel in. All of the trash talk in the buildup was

:12:35.:12:38.

horrendous, but afterwards they were all smiles, hugging each other,

:12:39.:12:42.

giving each other compliments in the interview afterwards. So it is set

:12:43.:12:47.

up for a bit of a rematch. Also, we call it pantomime, the trash talk

:12:48.:12:54.

beforehand, but when they are in the ring it is real fighting. The

:12:55.:13:01.

buildup was a bit like wrestling! Wrestling it is not! Thank you.

:13:02.:13:07.

England is one of the worst places in Europe to train in vocations such

:13:08.:13:10.

as engineering or hairdressing, according to the Institute

:13:11.:13:13.

But the Chancellor Philip Hammond is looking to address that

:13:14.:13:16.

He'll promise to make available ?500 million of additional funding

:13:17.:13:23.

for the technical training of 16 to 19 year olds.

:13:24.:13:26.

David Hughes from the Association of Colleges

:13:27.:13:28.

Good morning. More money for training. I am sure on the face of

:13:29.:13:37.

it many businesses will say, at last! But is it money well spent? It

:13:38.:13:42.

will be really important money. What we know is young people get a raw

:13:43.:13:46.

deal in this country at the moment. They get about 600 hours of tuition.

:13:47.:13:51.

In places like Denmark and Norway it is 1000. So the quality of education

:13:52.:13:55.

is not good enough. We also know that too many of them don't have

:13:56.:14:00.

work experience. They don't get that understanding of what work is about.

:14:01.:14:03.

What these reforms is about is making sure they get more tuition,

:14:04.:14:07.

or training, more education than technical information. How do they

:14:08.:14:12.

decide whether training will come in close that it is so hard to spot the

:14:13.:14:17.

trend is of knowing what will be the big jobs in five or ten years from

:14:18.:14:21.

now and making sure people are training now for the jobs that will

:14:22.:14:25.

be available. I think we've made a mistake for the past 20- 30 years

:14:26.:14:28.

because we have tried to train people for a job and jobs change.

:14:29.:14:33.

What we've got to do is provide a broader education, so that people

:14:34.:14:36.

are more adaptable and they can change and learn more throughout

:14:37.:14:40.

their careers. They will be working for 50 plus years. Who knows what

:14:41.:14:44.

will happen in 50 years in terms of work? Budwood head dressing still be

:14:45.:14:50.

hairdressing? The causes are childcare and education,

:14:51.:14:52.

construction, creative design, things like that. -- the courses.

:14:53.:14:59.

Obviously there will be developments in those fields, at this are

:15:00.:15:05.

vocational courses doing a job that produces a product. But it is also

:15:06.:15:10.

helping people go beyond that. Lots of young people don't like academic

:15:11.:15:15.

learning. But when they start to learn about engineering or

:15:16.:15:19.

construction, or a digital skills, they want to go on and then they go

:15:20.:15:23.

on to degree level learning later. So we have to provide a better

:15:24.:15:27.

education base so they can do that. We don't just train them to do the

:15:28.:15:31.

job that lasts for 5- ten years, it's a career. How important is the

:15:32.:15:35.

link between business, the employee is, and the colleges or training

:15:36.:15:40.

provided? A lot of businesses they are a not getting what I need

:15:41.:15:45.

because they aren't being taught the things I want them for. Are we

:15:46.:15:49.

getting better at that relationship, that the business is involved? Some

:15:50.:15:54.

businesses are involved but about one third give experience to young

:15:55.:15:58.

people, but two thirds say young people need more work experience.

:15:59.:16:01.

Heart of this reform is about that. Trying to get three months of work

:16:02.:16:08.

placement, not just making the coffee, but going in and doing the

:16:09.:16:11.

job and understanding what work is really like. Because the Saturday

:16:12.:16:16.

job has disappeared. Young people can't get Saturday job is to learn

:16:17.:16:20.

about work and the behaviours you need. We need in poor years to set

:16:21.:16:24.

up. It isn't just about money. -- employee is. Do you welcome the ?500

:16:25.:16:28.

million? Colleges have been starved of money.

:16:29.:16:40.

It is good news but it is not enough. Adults need retraining.

:16:41.:16:46.

These reforms will not help people coming into the market for floral

:16:47.:16:53.

five years. EU skilled migration will drop so we will need more

:16:54.:17:01.

adults. We will be pushy but we want to fill the feel is gaps with

:17:02.:17:10.

trained adults. Let's take a look at what the weather is doing. It was

:17:11.:17:16.

damp when I came in, was at the same everywhere?

:17:17.:17:20.

It was mixed. This was taken just over a half-hour. We have had some

:17:21.:17:33.

brilliant pictures sent him off the Sareen sunrise. Across England and

:17:34.:17:42.

Wales, quite a lot of wet weather through the day and brisk winds.

:17:43.:17:49.

Further north, across Scotland, and improving sort of day. Nine o'clock,

:17:50.:17:55.

some showers and Northern Ireland also seen the wet weather,

:17:56.:17:59.

particularly towards the south. Northern England, largely dry. The

:18:00.:18:05.

down towards the south-east, heavy rain. The south-west will see the

:18:06.:18:11.

return of sunshine but the winds will be a feature of the weather.

:18:12.:18:21.

Gales around coasts and hills. We towards the south-west, wet weather

:18:22.:18:27.

across much of Wales, the Midlands, away from that and improving

:18:28.:18:31.

picture. For our Premier League football, it could be a bit of

:18:32.:18:36.

rainfall White Hart Lane but predominantly dry for the other

:18:37.:18:42.

match. The rain in the East easing, a dry spell. Things turning chilly,

:18:43.:18:49.

some missed and perhaps a touch of fog in rural parts of northern

:18:50.:18:55.

England and Northern Ireland. Rain through the south-west of England.

:18:56.:19:02.

It looks like it will clear away fairly quickly. For the rest of the

:19:03.:19:06.

country, a bit of dry weather but scattered showers almost anywhere.

:19:07.:19:13.

As we head into Tuesday, a dry start but it does not last long. Further

:19:14.:19:21.

wet weather from the west during Tuesday into Wednesday. Not a

:19:22.:19:27.

complete washout and temperatures on the rise. Highs of around 14 by the

:19:28.:19:31.

time we get to Wednesday. It looks like one of those days

:19:32.:19:40.

where you do not know what is going to happen with the weather.

:19:41.:19:43.

Thousands of Britons who died during the D-Day landings will be

:19:44.:19:46.

It'll be built at the site of some of the fiercest fighting

:19:47.:19:50.

The memorial will be unveiled on the 75th anniversary

:19:51.:19:54.

Let's speak to veteran, George Batts, who's in Maidstone,

:19:55.:19:57.

Good morning and welcome to the programme. Can you talk us through

:19:58.:20:09.

what this means for you. As a veteran, you were there and now a

:20:10.:20:14.

memorial to recognise those who lost their lives. It means everything,

:20:15.:20:22.

really. All of us who came back and lived their lives but friend and

:20:23.:20:26.

colleague were left behind and had nothing. It is nearly 75 years since

:20:27.:20:33.

the end of the campaign and nothing has ever been done but now we will

:20:34.:20:39.

have a wonderful memorial in Normandy for these and so I feel

:20:40.:20:48.

that... We veterans feel it is justified and we can honour them

:20:49.:20:53.

together with their relations, children, grandchildren,

:20:54.:20:59.

great-grandchildren, schools, historians. Everybody will be able

:21:00.:21:06.

to visit. You were just 18, can you share some of your memories of that

:21:07.:21:14.

day? Everything about that day has been recorded. The main thing we are

:21:15.:21:19.

interested now is the remembrance by the memorial and if you do not mind,

:21:20.:21:29.

I would like to concentrate on that. You were instrumental in making this

:21:30.:21:35.

happen. How did the process began? You rates to a lot of people? --

:21:36.:21:46.

wrote. I pontificated with a few people but was ignored. A few months

:21:47.:21:53.

ago I wrote to David Cameron he replied supporting it and the then

:21:54.:21:59.

Chancellor supported it and fortunately, when Theresa May came

:22:00.:22:05.

along with Philip Hammond, they supported it with the result that we

:22:06.:22:11.

received ?20 million for the fund to be able to build it. All the

:22:12.:22:20.

information will be coming out again because we will have a website which

:22:21.:22:28.

is Normandy Memorial trust dot orbit. Everything will go on there.

:22:29.:22:37.

We will also be doing the usual thing of fundraising and getting an

:22:38.:22:44.

extra few buildings. We have an information centre and that. It is

:22:45.:22:50.

interesting because the Americans already have a memorial, the

:22:51.:22:56.

Canadians but so far nothing that recalls all of the names and all the

:22:57.:23:00.

names will be in this memorial. What is it that we need to remember

:23:01.:23:06.

through this memorial? The hardships and everything and things that

:23:07.:23:13.

everybody went through on that day and on the three British beaches, on

:23:14.:23:22.

each beach there was roughly 1200 on each beach were killed and God knows

:23:23.:23:32.

how many wounded and seriously seek any imagine the site on those

:23:33.:23:37.

beaches. I did not like taking about it because it is not fair to their

:23:38.:23:49.

memories. You know people get killed in wars but how do not think we

:23:50.:23:53.

should go into in detail. It was horrific and frightening but at the

:23:54.:24:00.

same time all we young lads of 18, we virtually grew up overnight and,

:24:01.:24:08.

you know, it did set us for our lives and the thousands that were

:24:09.:24:16.

involved in that is incredible. But, you know, thank goodness, at last,

:24:17.:24:21.

there will be an incredible memorial for them. In one or two places along

:24:22.:24:31.

the beach. Anybody will be able to go there. It is a wonderful

:24:32.:24:37.

tribute... George, I am sorry to interrupt. It is OK. Please, carry

:24:38.:24:48.

on. We cannot thank the past Prime Minister and this Prime Minister,

:24:49.:24:55.

the Treasury. The staff at the Treasury have worked so hard for us

:24:56.:25:03.

that you hear criticism but there are... There is no criticism from

:25:04.:25:12.

the people here involved with it. I cannot wait for it to be built and,

:25:13.:25:19.

as you know, it will be unveiled on June six, 2019, the 76 anniversary

:25:20.:25:30.

and we are hoping that many of the old boys, vets, will still be alive

:25:31.:25:39.

to go there. In the Normandy veterans Association at one time we

:25:40.:25:44.

had 15,000 members, now we're down to than 500 and we are losing them

:25:45.:25:52.

regularly, obviously because of age. But some of us will still be there,

:25:53.:25:59.

paying tribute to everybody in the Navy, Army, air force, merchant Navy

:26:00.:26:06.

and various other people that we will be tracing to go on the

:26:07.:26:11.

memorial. In addition to that, the D-Day Museum at Portsmouth will have

:26:12.:26:20.

the computerised staff because, you know, every great in Normandy has

:26:21.:26:26.

got the name of the person who has been killed and with the

:26:27.:26:32.

computerisation they will be able to press the button and find out

:26:33.:26:36.

exactly where their relatives or friend or whatever is buried. Such

:26:37.:26:43.

an important tribute and it is wonderful that it has got the

:26:44.:26:49.

go-ahead. Unveiled on the 75th anniversary. Thank you for sparing

:26:50.:26:53.

the time. Thank you. You're watching Breakfast

:26:54.:26:59.

from BBC News, it's 7:26 Edwina Currie is here to tell us

:27:00.:27:01.

what's caught their eye. A quick Dasha of the front pages.

:27:02.:27:21.

The secret summit. The ex- PM attending secret meetings at the

:27:22.:27:24.

White House to discuss working for Donald Trump but Tony Blair's people

:27:25.:27:32.

saying that is not the case. On the Telegraph, Donald Trump accuses

:27:33.:27:37.

Barack Obama of a new Watergate plot which has come out in a series of

:27:38.:27:44.

tweets, as always. It is a pretty bold claim. The big Orange, am I

:27:45.:27:51.

allowed to say this? He is completely bonkers. When I'm on

:27:52.:27:58.

Twitter late at night by a husband asks me when I am doing and I

:27:59.:28:01.

telling I getting the news from America. Trump Tower was being wired

:28:02.:28:08.

and this was Obama that was behind it but a few minutes later he has

:28:09.:28:15.

tweeted about the American version of the apprentice. It is possible

:28:16.:28:21.

that Trump Tower was under some kind of surveillance. I would be quite

:28:22.:28:26.

sure that Barak Obama did not do it. He would be interested? They have

:28:27.:28:37.

denied it. Strongly denied it. Shall we look at your second story, the

:28:38.:28:42.

vicar 's daughter more of a gambler then she realises. It is an opinion

:28:43.:28:50.

piece. In the Observer. What he is saying is when Theresa May decided

:28:51.:28:55.

we will not call a snap general election because it is a big gamble

:28:56.:29:01.

because she would win big-time with Labour in a mess... So how is it a

:29:02.:29:10.

gamble? In Northern Ireland, that is the gamble. Anything can happen and

:29:11.:29:19.

the Vickers daughters think comes out. Theresa May's style is we have

:29:20.:29:24.

a job to do and we need to get on with it. She needs to sort out the

:29:25.:29:29.

House of Lords, get the legislation to trigger the which is why the

:29:30.:29:34.

country voted for nine months ago. That is a job, she will get on with

:29:35.:29:39.

it and then she will come to the electorate in 2020... Which is a

:29:40.:29:48.

long way away... It is. Then she will say, have you done a good job

:29:49.:29:54.

or not and then we will win a big majority. We are tight for time this

:29:55.:29:59.

morning but we will speak to you later on. Thank you so much for now.

:30:00.:30:10.

Andrew, what is your story tonight? With the budget coming up, I have

:30:11.:30:14.

the chance are talking about many of those issues, bee training,

:30:15.:30:21.

posterity. We have the Shadow Chancellor. -- Brexit. We have the

:30:22.:30:34.

leader of Ukip who went walkabout after that disastrous election. A

:30:35.:30:40.

busy programme and Allison Crowe singing is out. We will be on the

:30:41.:30:48.

news channel until nine this morning but this is where we say goodbye to
