This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:00.:00:10.

A new chapter for British car-making - the French company which owns

:00:11.:00:14.

Citroen and Peugeot is expected to confirm that it's buying

:00:15.:00:16.

The deal raises questions over the future of 4,000 jobs

:00:17.:00:19.

at its Ellesmere Port and Luton plants -

:00:20.:00:22.

and 30,000 more which depend on them.

:00:23.:00:38.

speak out to save lives - police launch a new campaign urging

:00:39.:00:50.

people to report suspicious activity to combat terror attacks.

:00:51.:00:55.

North Korea launches four missiles towards the Sea of Japan.

:00:56.:01:01.

Tokyo calls it "a new stage of threat".

:01:02.:01:05.

This week The Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget.

:01:06.:01:08.

All this week on Breakfast we're looking at what it means

:01:09.:01:11.

To we are focusing on the millennial is, those born in the 80s and 90s. I

:01:12.:01:21.

have come here to Aberdeen to see what these workers want for the

:01:22.:01:23.

economy. as she adds the 3000 metre title

:01:24.:01:25.

to her 1500 metre win at the European Indoor

:01:26.:01:35.

Athletics Championships. Pollution is not a joke is the

:01:36.:01:42.

message from students at this primary school. We are talking today

:01:43.:01:46.

about cars idling outside schools and the damage it does.

:01:47.:01:49.

And Carol has the weather for us this morning. Good morning. Actually

:01:50.:01:57.

start, some have frost, but for many it will be sunshine with some

:01:58.:02:02.

showers. Rain across the south, blustery here, and snow would hide.

:02:03.:02:06.

I will have more details of about 15 minutes.

:02:07.:02:06.

There's uncertainty for thousands of British car workers as a deal

:02:07.:02:12.

that will see Vauxhall sold to the French owners of Peugeot

:02:13.:02:15.

and Citroen, is expected to be announced within the next hour.

:02:16.:02:18.

The French car giant PSA wants to buy General Motors European

:02:19.:02:21.

operations, which includes Vauxhall's plants in Ellesmere Port

:02:22.:02:26.

and Luton, from where our reporter Simon Clemison joins us now.

:02:27.:02:29.

Good morning. In the last hour, or in the last few minutes, we have

:02:30.:02:43.

started to see people going into the plant here in Luton. The 6am start

:02:44.:02:51.

has seen some nervousness from staff. What we are seeing today is

:02:52.:02:57.

the car industry map of Europe being redrawn. We have known about the

:02:58.:03:00.

potential for this deal for a couple of weeks, but today we are expecting

:03:01.:03:05.

official combination -- confirmation that this could start to happen and

:03:06.:03:10.

that cars made by a car giant could change hands.

:03:11.:03:15.

In the car industry, where used to car brands been owned by the same

:03:16.:03:23.

company. But if the European arm of General Motors makes this

:03:24.:03:27.

acquisition, it could be a huge move, making the French manufacturer

:03:28.:03:33.

the second biggest on the continent, after VW. But there are now fears

:03:34.:03:37.

for jobs that the unions as they are fighting for. More than 1900 people

:03:38.:03:44.

produce the Astra at Ellesmere Port. Thousands more are employed in the

:03:45.:03:49.

supply chain. They're about 1400 workers at Luton, making one of

:03:50.:03:56.

Vauxhall's fans. If workers here eventually have new bosses in

:03:57.:04:00.

France, rather than in America, there are questions over how they

:04:01.:04:03.

may look to balance the books. Commentators say they have the

:04:04.:04:06.

capacity to build more cars at the players they are ready control. The

:04:07.:04:09.

government has been speaking to the French group, PSA. Staff have been

:04:10.:04:15.

given reassurances. But there are concerns for jobs and pensions once

:04:16.:04:19.

existing contracts start expiring 2020 one. -- 2021.

:04:20.:04:31.

This is go to BA complexes and complex arrangement. Aggression is

:04:32.:04:40.

what happens after that. What happens if Peugeot does what lots of

:04:41.:04:47.

manufacturers do, with a van, and put a Vauxhall badge on it? We don't

:04:48.:04:51.

know what will happen. It is all speculation at the moment. What we

:04:52.:04:55.

do know is that we will see some or we are hoping to see some kind of

:04:56.:04:59.

detail today. But this company is at the moment making a loss. So if they

:05:00.:05:03.

want to make a profit, they will have to do something. We are

:05:04.:05:06.

expecting some detail today, but these are details that many of the

:05:07.:05:11.

workers will want. Thank you for joining us, Simon. More on that

:05:12.:05:12.

throughout the morning. Britain's most senior anti-terrorism

:05:13.:05:13.

officer has revealed that thirteen potential terror attacks have been

:05:14.:05:15.

prevented since June 2013. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley

:05:16.:05:19.

is launching a campaign, encouraging people to report

:05:20.:05:21.

suspicious activity. Here's our Home Affairs

:05:22.:05:22.

Correspondent Daniel Sandford. The moment caught on a security

:05:23.:05:38.

camera when this man visited a bag of fertiliser he was touring in

:05:39.:05:44.

2004. He was planning to launch an Al Qaeda bombing campaign against

:05:45.:05:46.

targets like nightclubs and shopping centres. He was caught because women

:05:47.:05:51.

at the storage warehouse became suspicious and called police,

:05:52.:05:53.

potentially saving hundreds of lives. If you have a concern about

:05:54.:05:59.

suddenly you have seen or heard they could identify a terrorist threat,

:06:00.:06:05.

reported. A new police campaign focuses on the important

:06:06.:06:09.

contributions the public can make. It could be any you is unusual.

:06:10.:06:14.

Detectives said the public is still playing an important part in one

:06:15.:06:17.

third of their current investigations. -- detectives say.

:06:18.:06:25.

Senior detective said that supporters of so-called Islamic

:06:26.:06:30.

State are not the only threat, and that these includes far right

:06:31.:06:40.

terrorists. New figures suggest that they have been 13 attacks thwarted

:06:41.:06:45.

since 2013. At any one time, the security services are running around

:06:46.:06:49.

500 investigations. The threat level remains at severe, which means that

:06:50.:06:54.

the risk of an attack is assessed as highly likely.

:06:55.:07:00.

North Korea has fired four missiles - three of which landed

:07:01.:07:04.

in Japanese-controlled waters less than 200 miles from its north-west

:07:05.:07:06.

They appear to have been launched from a remote military base

:07:07.:07:13.

We can speak to our correspondent, Steve Evans, who joins us

:07:14.:07:16.

Thank you for joining us. What is going on? North Korea is very

:07:17.:07:23.

annoyed at the moment that South Korea and the United States are

:07:24.:07:26.

holding joint military exercises. North Korea says it is practice for

:07:27.:07:30.

an invasion. So what it does in Ms Connor circumstance, with hide

:07:31.:07:35.

manga, is it looses off missiles. For them, this time, normally fewer

:07:36.:07:41.

than that. But experts will now be looking at whether these missiles

:07:42.:07:46.

are new, weather, for example, they could hit the continental United

:07:47.:07:51.

States. Kim Jong-un has said his aim is to develop a nuclear arsenal and

:07:52.:07:56.

the missiles to put warheads on to hit cities like Los Angeles and

:07:57.:07:59.

Washington. So people will look at this launch to work out if he is

:08:00.:08:03.

making progress towards that. Thank you for joining us.

:08:04.:08:07.

Talks are beginning in Belfast today aimed at forming

:08:08.:08:10.

The two largest parties, the Democratic Unionists

:08:11.:08:13.

and Sinn Fein, are still divided over a botched green energy scheme

:08:14.:08:16.

that led to the collapse of their previous administration.

:08:17.:08:20.

Sinn Fein say the DUP leader, Arlene Foster, can't be re-appointed

:08:21.:08:23.

as First Minister while her role in the scheme is being investigated.

:08:24.:08:30.

A former British soldier has been shot dead on his ranch

:08:31.:08:33.

Tristan Voorspuy ran lodges for visitors in the central Rift

:08:34.:08:38.

He'd served as an army officer in the 1970s and had spent nearly

:08:39.:08:45.

30 years as a rancher and safari operator.

:08:46.:08:47.

A local official blamed rural herdsman.

:08:48.:08:55.

Survivors, rescue workers and victims' relatives will gather

:08:56.:08:58.

today to mark the 30th anniversary of the Zeebrugge ferry

:08:59.:09:01.

193 passengers and crew died when the Herald of Free Enterprise

:09:02.:09:04.

capsized shortly after leaving the Belgian port,

:09:23.:09:32.

disaster of Belgium... It was exactly 30 years ago to note that

:09:33.:09:37.

the vessel went down. There were 459 passengers on board, including

:09:38.:09:42.

British daytrippers. The first some new what was happening was when the

:09:43.:09:46.

plates started slipping off the tables. It took about 90 seconds for

:09:47.:09:52.

the 1300 ton vessel to turnover. The rescue operation help save many

:09:53.:09:59.

lives, but 193 passengers and crew died. The official enquiry found

:10:00.:10:04.

that the bow doors had been mistakenly left open she left port.

:10:05.:10:07.

An attempt to prosecute crew members on the company in court. A memorial

:10:08.:10:16.

service will take place today to allow people to mark the 30th

:10:17.:10:23.

anniversary of the disaster. The Herald's Bell will be at the

:10:24.:10:27.

service. This disaster continues to influence the lives of hundreds of

:10:28.:10:32.

ordinary people, the design of ships, and Britain's Millot at --

:10:33.:10:36.

maritime history. And it about half are now we will

:10:37.:10:43.

speak to somebody who helps people on board escaped. We will talk to

:10:44.:10:49.

them later. So few of the survivors feel comfortable talking about what

:10:50.:10:50.

happened, don't they? FBI director James Comey has

:10:51.:10:55.

rejected President Donald Trump's claim on Saturday that his

:10:56.:10:57.

predecessor, Barack Obama, Mr Comey reportedly asked the US

the FBI broke the law. South Lakes Zoo, where

:11:20.:11:21.

almost 500 animals died four years, is expected

:11:22.:11:23.

to have a decision made on its application for

:11:24.:11:27.

a new license today. The zoo in Cumbria was fined just

:11:28.:11:29.

:11:30.:11:33.

of a keeper who was mauled Government inspectors

:11:34.:11:38.

that for seven medals at the indoor Championships, with Laura Muir

adding to the 1500 title on Saturday.

Manchester City are third in the table after beating

And Celtic came from behind to beat St Mirren 4-1 in the last eight

They'll now face Old Firm rivals Rangers in the semi-finals.

:13:24.:13:27.

In the other tie, holders Hibernian will play Aberdeen

:13:28.:13:31.

We will have more on Laura Muir to come. Did they try to stop her

:13:32.:13:35.

again? Here's Carol with a look

:13:36.:13:38.

at this morning's weather. I cannot turn around. How is it

:13:39.:13:50.

going? A chilly start for some of us with some frost around. But for

:13:51.:13:54.

many, we will see Ramos today. The forecast is one of suddenly spells,

:13:55.:14:00.

or bright scales, and then scattered showers. -- spells. What we have the

:14:01.:14:04.

moment is a lot of low pressure around us. That has a lot of fronts

:14:05.:14:08.

attached to it, particularly in the south-west, where we have rain and

:14:09.:14:11.

also some hill snow, as well. But never way from that, drip into

:14:12.:14:16.

these, there are clearer skies. One or two showers. That holds true,

:14:17.:14:20.

moving north, as well. Although throughout northern England and it

:14:21.:14:24.

central Scotland, there is a weak front, and that is producing some

:14:25.:14:28.

showers. Showers continuing across Shetland, and that towards the

:14:29.:14:31.

worse. We also have some showers. On the hills, there will be some snow.

:14:32.:14:36.

In Northern Ireland, a chilly start. A touch of frost here or there. The

:14:37.:14:41.

odd pocket of fog. For Wales, dry and bright. Temperatures a bit on

:14:42.:14:46.

the low side. Aberdeenshire, where we have some frost at the moment.

:14:47.:14:50.

That is where it is continent. Go through the morning, that rentals

:14:51.:14:54.

away. It will go across the island. It will be windy there. And then we

:14:55.:15:01.

are back into sunshine and showers. Temperatures up to 12 Celsius. Later

:15:02.:15:05.

on in the day, you can see some more coming in across Northern Ireland

:15:06.:15:08.

and they are likely to have some snow on the hills as well. Tonight,

:15:09.:15:12.

the wind arrows are going in every direction. We also have a view

:15:13.:15:16.

showers around and wintry in the hills. And Scotland, where we have

:15:17.:15:20.

low temperatures and dance temperatures, there is the risk of

:15:21.:15:23.

highs on untreated surfaces. Once again, there will be frost around as

:15:24.:15:28.

well. But you cannot fail to mist what is happening in the Atlantic by

:15:29.:15:32.

the end of the night. By tomorrow, that band of rain will swing in

:15:33.:15:35.

across Ireland into south-west England, also through parts of

:15:36.:15:38.

Wales, as well. The cloud will build out of it, so the driest and

:15:39.:15:41.

brightest conditions tomorrow will be out towards the east. But even

:15:42.:15:46.

here, through the day, the sunshine will turn the APA in nature.

:15:47.:15:50.

Averages seven degrees to 11 degrees in the east and seven degrees to 10

:15:51.:15:55.

degrees in the west. That system out in the west, I probably late

:15:56.:15:59.

afternoon, will be taking its friend with it over into eastern errors.

:16:00.:16:02.

You can see this weather front coming here. That will produce rain

:16:03.:16:08.

in the afternoon, and on Thursday it will take another swipe at us from

:16:09.:16:12.

the south-west. Here it is on Wednesday, pushing down towards the

:16:13.:16:15.

south. A drier, prior to her sliced in the south of country coming but

:16:16.:16:20.

still some showers across the far north. Temperatures by Thursday up

:16:21.:16:21.

to 40 Celsius. I hope your neck is better by then.

:16:22.:16:36.

So do I! I want to see you but I cannot. Let us look at the papers.

:16:37.:16:45.

Sally is still with us. I have been rearranging my tie. The Times. The

:16:46.:16:51.

Chancellor bands a tax tax rise to fund budget giveaways. There is

:16:52.:17:00.

Francois Fillon and he is white, Penelope. He says he will stick it

:17:01.:17:12.

out. -- his wife. And the main story is abortions. The UK is the

:17:13.:17:17.

seventh-largest abortion provider. Signing of abortions for women they

:17:18.:17:21.

have never met, according to the Daily Mail. And a diet to slash the

:17:22.:17:31.

risk of cancer by 7%. Oily fish and other food like that will cut the

:17:32.:17:36.

risk of breast cancer. And Adele broke the news that she is married.

:17:37.:17:44.

The Guardian. A pretty emotional picture from a father and a daughter

:17:45.:17:48.

who fled Islamic State control in Mosul on Saturday as Iraqi forces

:17:49.:17:54.

are intensifying a push on to the city. And the budget is making the

:17:55.:18:02.

news. We will look at what will happen with that later. And Alexis

:18:03.:18:07.

Sanchez this summer. He was dropped to the bench on Saturday at Anfield

:18:08.:18:12.

against Liverpool. And a strong piece about how this could actually

:18:13.:18:16.

be, not just Alexis Sanchez's and again, but the endgame of Wenger.

:18:17.:18:24.

Falling outs happen all the time, but Arsene Wenger is not handling it

:18:25.:18:28.

well. By dropping him to the bench, it is like sending an errant child

:18:29.:18:34.

to their room, but letting them have a burger and a big-screen TV while

:18:35.:18:40.

they are there. That is what it says. So don't drop him and then

:18:41.:18:44.

bring him on to make him unhappy and not performing at his best. The word

:18:45.:18:50.

is he could go to in the summer. I don't know why he did not say that

:18:51.:18:54.

on the day he was getting so much grief for dropping his best player.

:18:55.:18:58.

And deciding to not say anything at all and complete denial. Shall we

:18:59.:19:05.

talk about this? We are being asked if we can help scientists count

:19:06.:19:10.

penguins in case you are bored and need something to help you sleep at

:19:11.:19:15.

night? They have lots of pictures here. They want you to sort the

:19:16.:19:24.

penguins from the rocks. And pandas. The same scientists who sorted out

:19:25.:19:30.

why they have black and white colours to stop them getting bitten.

:19:31.:19:38.

A panda is white to helped hide in snowy environments and black to help

:19:39.:19:47.

them in the shade. And they love to kiss each other. And now for some

:19:48.:19:51.

other news. It's estimated 40,000 people

:19:52.:19:57.

in the UK are dying prematurely due to health problems linked

:19:58.:20:00.

with air pollution. The World Health Organization says

:20:01.:20:02.

more than nine out of ten of us across the globe are

:20:03.:20:05.

breathing polluted air. And this week on BBC Breakfast,

:20:06.:20:07.

we're taking an in-depth look Today, we're looking

:20:08.:20:10.

at the pollution caused by cars keeping their engines

:20:11.:20:15.

on when they're parked or waiting John Maguire is at a school

:20:16.:20:17.

:20:27.:20:29.

them up. Good morning, children. Good morning! They have been working

:20:30.:20:34.

on this post is about air pollution. Some catchy logos that could go much

:20:35.:20:42.

further afield, letting us see what could happen if we breathe it in.

:20:43.:20:48.

There have been councils issued Freedom of Information requests

:20:49.:20:53.

about what happens with pollution. Only 50 out of 284 say they empower

:20:54.:21:01.

their staff to give fines for idling. Only five fines have been

:21:02.:21:07.

given. The stick is not doing much. What about the carrot? We have gone

:21:08.:21:11.

across the UK to find out what is being done.

:21:12.:21:12.

What are those dark patches? Pollution. From schools in

:21:13.:21:20.

Birmingham, to Port Talbot... We are looking at where we will plant trees

:21:21.:21:25.

to tackle air pollution. To Sheffield. Many people have issues

:21:26.:21:32.

because of the things they are breathing. There is a quiet

:21:33.:21:37.

revolution under way, and at times like this. ENGINE TURNING OFF. In

the name of science, Will has said he will drive today to school. He

:21:46.:21:51.

will track pollution along his journey with his friends. And now we

:21:52.:21:56.

have a professor from the University of Leeds, who is analysing the two

:21:57.:22:03.

trips. Normally when you are stuck in traffic, that is when the levels

:22:04.:22:08.

can get quite high with pollution. It is a quiet route. We have crossed

:22:09.:22:14.

some roads and seeing huge spikes, actually. They are a short duration.

:22:15.:22:20.

They have got a good route to school. They go down a backstreet.

:22:21.:22:30.

The levels are low there. At the school gates were all the cars are

:22:31.:22:33.

parking and dropping the children off, we can see lots of spikes at

:22:34.:22:37.

that end. And that exposure to pollution over the route is mainly

:22:38.:22:40.

focused around the school gates, actually. So, what can be done?

:22:41.:22:44.

Basically we are asking people to turn off their engine when they are

:22:45.:22:50.

stationary. OK. I understand. We just want to educate people. It is

:22:51.:22:59.

yet another success for this anti-idling patrol. These people

:23:00.:23:04.

have been trained in what to say to people to get them to turn off and

:23:05.:23:08.

deal with inevitable excuses. The councils say this is about local

:23:09.:23:13.

people cleaning up local streets. It is about this street in this area

:23:14.:23:16.

trying to reduce pollution levels for children at school. much

:23:17.:23:21.

difference can switching off your engine make? Testing in one location

:23:22.:23:26.

saw that by stopping idling, pollution levels dropped by a third.

:23:27.:23:30.

The bigger message is that it helps people understand the impact of

:23:31.:23:35.

small actions on the larger problem of air quality. And there is always

:23:36.:23:40.

this approach. I am sorry to bother you, but your engine is running. You

:23:41.:23:45.

wouldn't turn it off, would you, I am just thinking of emissions. In

:23:46.:23:48.

the last six years as he went to work on his way to the theatre of

:23:49.:23:54.

London, Nigel is a man on emission. They wonder who I am and have said

:23:55.:23:59.

some pretty choice things to me. But generally speaking, people are aware

:24:00.:24:03.

and said, oh, sorry, I am not aware of that. This is a drop in the

:24:04.:24:09.

ocean, admittedly, or a particle in the air, compared to the global

:24:10.:24:14.

problem of air pollution. But new research shows how switching off

:24:15.:24:17.

engines can make a difference in protecting our most precious

:24:18.:24:19.

resource. Stop the pollution, it is the only

:24:20.:24:26.

solution, that is the message from one of the precious children at this

:24:27.:24:31.

school. We will talk to the head teacher. What are you holding? This

:24:32.:24:36.

is a travel plan Silver Award which we got eight years ago. They came to

:24:37.:24:41.

look outside the school with the problems of idling and congestion at

:24:42.:24:46.

traffic lights. We want to encourage children to come to school by

:24:47.:24:54.

walking bulky scooting. -- or. You are going for gold. What difference

:24:55.:24:59.

has it made? It has raised the profile of coming to school under

:25:00.:25:03.

your own steam. And perhaps even the parents can sort of suggest that

:25:04.:25:08.

they try more to use scooters and use bikes and walk and look to the

:25:09.:25:14.

future. Because that is what we're doing with children, them for the

:25:15.:25:18.

future. So they can look back and say, well, we did something. We used

:25:19.:25:23.

to go by bus to the swimming pool and now we walk. OK. Thank you. We

:25:24.:25:28.

will chat to some of the children. Good morning to you two. Good

:25:29.:25:34.

morning. You have talked about air pollution. What have you learned? We

:25:35.:25:39.

have learned about idling. We learned that our school has 55.9,

:25:40.:25:49.

umm, N02 like particles. Crikey, you know all the chemicals and

:25:50.:25:53.

everything. It is 15.9 over the limit. Yes. We know that, don't we,

:25:54.:25:58.

sometimes over the European limiting. What things have fully

:25:59.:26:05.

done to persuade people to not idle out the school? We have sent letters

:26:06.:26:13.

to the mayor and Year Twos. We have also been making posters to persuade

:26:14.:26:20.

them. Great. Well done. That is fantastic. Now, you had some notes

:26:21.:26:24.

written on the front of your hand, did you? It is a good trick. We

:26:25.:26:28.

decided to adopt it as well. What did you want is there? Back to you,

:26:29.:26:36.

Dan and Louis. Back to you guys in the studio. Look at that! I like but

:26:37.:26:43.

she added our names! Look at that. We will be talking more about

miles from the north-west coast of Japan.

:33:14.:33:15.

The missiles appear to have been launched from a remote military

South Korea's acting president has called it a serious provocation

Talks are beginning in Belfast today aimed at forming

The two largest parties, the Democratic Unionists

and Sinn Fein, are still divided over a botched green energy scheme

that led to the collapse of their previous administration.

in which 193 people died.

FBI director James Comey has rejected President Donald Trump's

:34:18.:34:19.

claim on Saturday that his predecessor, Barack Obama,

:34:20.:34:22.

Mr Comey reportedly asked the US justice department to reject

:34:23.:34:26.

the allegation Mr Obama ordered a wiretap during last

:34:27.:34:28.

Our Washington correspondent Nick Bryant has more on this story.

:34:29.:34:40.

The White House is still not produced any evidence to back up the

:34:41.:34:47.

claim that Barack Obama or the White House ordered White -- Whitecaps on

Trump Tower. White House officials

:34:52.:34:59.

pointing people, reporters, towards some newspaper reports

:35:00.:35:01.

that they have read, which heightens the speculation that

:35:02.:35:03.

President Trump's Twitter tirade was not based on intelligence

:35:04.:35:05.

briefings that he had received, but rather, as strongly suspected,

:35:06.:35:08.

he was reading a right-wing news One is James Clapper coming out

:35:09.:35:11.

and saying there were no wiretaps. And Clapper is not only somebody

:35:12.:35:17.

who worked for Barack Obama, he also worked for George W Bush

:35:18.:35:20.

and George Herbert Walker Bush. He is seen as a trusted figure,

:35:21.:35:23.

a non-partisan figure. And another key development -

:35:24.:35:25.

the FBI director, James Comey, it has been reported he approached

:35:26.:35:28.

the Justice Department, and asked the Justice Department

:35:29.:35:31.

to come out publicly and say that President Trump was wrong,

:35:32.:35:34.

that this was a false accusation, That is a big slap down

:35:35.:35:37.

from the director of the FBI. It is 6:35am... Is our phone go to?

:35:38.:35:57.

We have a massive phone. When anyone important brings, it is like good

:35:58.:36:05.

morning! Were just happened? I am not to explain it. You know when

:36:06.:36:11.

you're on a certain phone, it picks up the voice recognition, one of us

:36:12.:36:14.

might have said they were that sounded like that, and it tried to

:36:15.:36:19.

translate next sentence. Technology? We are all being listened to. Good

:36:20.:36:22.

morning! I think we are alone? A grey weekend for grey Britain.

Laura Muir stormed to victory in Belgrade had of yes ma'am cloud.

:36:50.:36:55.

Laura Muir became only the second Briton to win two individual events

:36:56.:36:59.

at the games after adding gold in the 3,000 metres to the fifteen

:37:00.:37:02.

hundred metres title she took on Saturday.

:37:03.:37:04.

She stormed to victory in Belgrade in a championship record

:37:05.:37:07.

time ahead of Turkey's Yasemin Can and compatriot Eilish McColgan.

:37:08.:37:09.

Muir's achievements matched those of Colin Jackson set in Paris 23

:37:10.:37:13.

I did know what my legs are going to do today. I tried to hang in there

:37:14.:37:22.

and I am very tired. But I'm so glad I could do that today. What was the

:37:23.:37:26.

plan at the outset? She was a bit more of the jurors athlete, so try

:37:27.:37:30.

to hold onto her. And I managed to cross the line in first place.

:37:31.:37:32.

And after her efforts to complete a victory lap on Saturday,

:37:33.:37:35.

she had a more relaxed time of it celebrating her 3000m success.

:37:36.:37:41.

No - I'll say the word - jobs-worth stewards

:37:42.:37:43.

What a weekend. She did a little bit of a victory lap, but that was it.

:37:44.:37:56.

There she goes. Congratulations to Laura Muir.

:37:57.:37:57.

Asha Philip also won gold yesterday, she pulled off a surprise,

:37:58.:38:00.

breaking the British record on her way to taking the 60 metres.

:38:01.:38:03.

It's her first individual medal at a major senior championships.

:38:04.:38:07.

I was so happy. I was not doubting myself, I knew I had it in me, and

:38:08.:38:16.

they think the confidence ran me through the race, but everytime I

:38:17.:38:20.

seem to get on that start line, a false start happened. I thought I

:38:21.:38:23.

did not have vibrant in the final. But it was all I had, and they said,

:38:24.:38:28.

you know what, I'm going to go out and do my best, and they did. I can

:38:29.:38:32.

he afford the W, and they did. I'm so happy with myself. -- and I did.

:38:33.:38:39.

-- I came here for B. And Robbie Grabarz understandably

:38:40.:38:41.

said he was "over the moon" with a silver medal in the high jump

:38:42.:38:43.

- just six weeks after having an emergency operation

:38:44.:38:47.

to remove his appendix. Can you imagine having surgery on

:38:48.:38:52.

your stomach and managing to do that? Incredible from them.

:38:53.:38:55.

Meanwhile, England have clinched the one-day against the West Indies were

:38:56.:38:57.

again to spare. The hosts chose to bat first

:38:58.:39:04.

but England bowled them out for 225, always likely to be below

:39:05.:39:08.

a competitive total. The West Indies spin bowlers gave

:39:09.:39:10.

England some problems but Joe Root saw them home with

:39:11.:39:13.

ten balls to spare. Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez had

:39:14.:39:16.

a confrontation with team mates after leaving a training session

:39:17.:39:18.

early in the build-up to Saturday's That is why there was that terrible

:39:19.:39:25.

atmosphere between him, the manager, and his colleagues.

:39:26.:39:30.

He had angry words with other players

:39:31.:39:32.

in the changing rooms and one of them had to be held back.

:39:33.:39:35.

Sanchez is Arsenal's top scorer this season but was left out

:39:36.:39:38.

of the starting line up on Saturday where his side lost 3-1.

:39:39.:39:42.

Manager Arsene Wenger said it was a tactical decision

:39:43.:39:45.

Spurs have moved to within seven points of Chelsea at the top

:39:46.:39:49.

It's their ninth consecutive home win in the league,

:39:50.:39:54.

Two goals from Harry Kane and one from Delle Ali was enough

:39:55.:39:58.

Manchester City are one point behind Spurs after winning 2-0 at bottom

:39:59.:40:11.

Sergio Aguero scored his 23rd goal of the season and Leroy Sane

:40:12.:40:15.

It's a fourth league win in a row for Pep Guardiola's side.

:40:16.:40:19.

in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup after Celtic

:40:20.:40:24.

thrashed St Mirren 4-1 in the last eight.

:40:25.:40:26.

Scott Sinclair scored the pick of Celtic's goals to give them

:40:27.:40:29.

the lead as they came back from a goal down at home.

:40:30.:40:32.

Aberdeen will face Hibs after their 1-0 victory over

:40:33.:40:34.

And finally, the wife carrying championship has taken place

:40:35.:40:43.

It's the tenth running of the event -

:40:44.:40:49.

and it looks like couples are getting good at tackling

:40:50.:40:52.

That does not look in any way comfortable. Yes. I think it gets

:40:53.:41:04.

worse as the pictures go on. It goes worse. I don't like the way he

:41:05.:41:12.

dropped. That is all I can say. Over the line. That is spectacularly

:41:13.:41:21.

non-PC. I know we are not married, but we would make a formidable

:41:22.:41:26.

partnership. I think you are too tall. She would have a long way to

:41:27.:41:31.

fall. She can carry me! Thank you very much, Sally. Plenty more from

:41:32.:41:38.

Sally Andy Carroll would have the weather shortly. But we return to

:41:39.:41:41.

one of our main stories, this morning, and today marks the 30th

:41:42.:41:46.

anniversary of the Zeebrugge disaster. It was the deadliest

:41:47.:41:50.

maritime incident involving it British ship in peacetime since 19

:41:51.:41:58.

come in -- says 1919. The Herald of Free Enterprise capsized shortly

:41:59.:42:03.

after leaving the port. Larry O'Brien was one of the people who

:42:04.:42:06.

help people get off the ferry. Thank you for joining us. I'm sure it is

:42:07.:42:11.

difficult even 30 years on to talk about the events of the day. But

:42:12.:42:16.

just take us through - I know you are one of the last people on the

:42:17.:42:20.

ferry. When did you know things were wrong? I had got upstairs. It was

:42:21.:42:32.

about 15 minutes when I got upstairs and went into the restaurant and sat

:42:33.:42:37.

down. And it heaved forward and back, and back to port again. It all

:42:38.:42:44.

only took seconds. It happened so quickly. It was unbelievable how

:42:45.:42:49.

quickly it happen. I suppose from the time I went on it was all over

:42:50.:42:57.

within 15 minutes. Riot, it right. It basically turned onto its side.

:42:58.:43:02.

Where were you when that happened? Basically, I had been in shock and

:43:03.:43:07.

went across to the restaurant and had sat down and ordered a meal. And

:43:08.:43:13.

I was sitting down. And that it started to hear. All I could do, my

:43:14.:43:19.

table was fixed to the ground, so I just held the table. It is

:43:20.:43:24.

unbelievable how quickly it all happened. It was all over with. When

:43:25.:43:29.

the ship went completely over on its side. It is hard to imagine for a

:43:30.:43:35.

person. The size of the ship to go completely on its side. But three

:43:36.:43:44.

quarters of the ship inside was full of water. Clearly a terrifying

:43:45.:43:49.

situation to be in. You managed to find a way out, and then started

:43:50.:43:56.

helping other people, did you? Look, I did not have much time to think

:43:57.:44:00.

about it when I was looking around me. I had to decide... There was any

:44:01.:44:06.

one way out. I was used to be on ships. I was a ships twice a week

:44:07.:44:11.

going from and coming to. I was going to Europe direct from Ireland,

:44:12.:44:15.

or go to England, and then on to France. I had plenty of experience

:44:16.:44:21.

being on board, so knew the only way out was. So I eventually got up and

:44:22.:44:30.

got onto the side of the ship. In a terrified state, I can tell you,

:44:31.:44:35.

because I did not know what was keeping it up or if it was courtesy

:44:36.:44:39.

call together. I would not be a good swimmer. I swim very badly,

:44:40.:44:47.

actually. And I just did not know if it I, it was go to go to the bottom

:44:48.:44:54.

or white. IDC found a rope and started taking people out through

:44:55.:44:59.

one of the porthole windows. -- I eventually found a rope. As a two

:45:00.:45:05.

people out, some of them stopped and started to help to take more people

:45:06.:45:11.

out. And it went on from there. -- as I took people out. I had about 30

:45:12.:45:17.

people out and more people kept coming. I looked around, and the

:45:18.:45:23.

sense... The eerie feeling that there were 70 people on board that

:45:24.:45:28.

night, that nobody knew there would be, that so many people were on it.

:45:29.:45:33.

This in the newspaper had run a day trip to Belgium for ?1, and hence

:45:34.:45:40.

there were so many people on board. 194 lives were lost. The screens

:45:41.:45:47.

that night inside the ship... It was like a floating cough in. It was

:45:48.:45:53.

unbelievable. -- the screams will stop is a mere will never forget, 30

:45:54.:45:57.

years later. But I was one of the lucky ones. I was one of those who

:45:58.:46:02.

survived. And an EU help lots of other people survive, as well. Will

:46:03.:46:07.

you be thinking today and remembering people today? -- and you

:46:08.:46:14.

helped. Of course. I was lucky in one way. There was only one person

:46:15.:46:21.

on the boat who was Irish that I knew. He was from Co Mead in

:46:22.:46:28.

Ireland. I did not personally know him but he lost his life on board

:46:29.:46:33.

that night. 30 years later, I will be thinking about all the people

:46:34.:46:37.

that lost their lives. You know, that night inside the chip, there

:46:38.:46:43.

were so many small children heading to Belgium, and so many adults, all

:46:44.:46:48.

people out for the day, of course I will remember it. It was an awful

:46:49.:46:50.

thing to happen. Thank you for talking to us today.

:46:51.:47:01.

Thank you. As he said, so many people will remember that. Are

:47:02.:47:05.

absolutely. I think you will enjoy this next part. Normally we have to

:47:06.:47:18.

turn around. Louise has a bad neck so we will look down the camera.

:47:19.:47:22.

Good morning. Bright spells in sunshine and also some showers. Some

:47:23.:47:27.

rain in the forecast as well. The rain is in south-west England. A

:47:28.:47:31.

weather front. This area of low pressure. We are surrounded by low

:47:32.:47:35.

pressures. This has taken wet and windy weather south. Gusty winds of

:47:36.:47:43.

80 miles per hour here. The forecast will start here at 8am. A lot of

:47:44.:47:50.

rain and also some snow on the moors. It starts to sink down

:47:51.:47:55.

towards the Channel Islands. In southern areas away from that rain,

:47:56.:47:59.

dry weather, sunshine, variable cloud. The cloud here and there is

:48:00.:48:03.

thick enough for the odd shower. Northern England and eastern parts

:48:04.:48:08.

of Scotland, a weather front producing showery outbreaks of rain.

:48:09.:48:13.

Again, another in Shetland. You will have that for a bit. More showers in

:48:14.:48:18.

the West. Snowy for Northern Ireland. A dry and bright start.

:48:19.:48:25.

Wales. A dry and bright start, and the odd shower in the south. Frosty

:48:26.:48:31.

to start in the highlands. Through the course of the day, the rain will

:48:32.:48:36.

pull away and go into the Channel Islands. It will be windy for a

:48:37.:48:40.

while here and then it will be a mixture of rights spells, sunshine,

:48:41.:48:44.

and highs of 12 degrees. More showers will pack in Northern

:48:45.:48:49.

Ireland with hill snow again. The rest of the afternoon and into the

:48:50.:48:54.

evening and overnight, starting to push over into western parts of

:48:55.:48:58.

mainland Britain. Showers in the east. One or two in the centre of

:48:59.:49:02.

the country. A lot of dry weather around. Cold enough for some frost.

:49:03.:49:07.

Damp surfaces bringing highs risks. By the end of the night, we will see

:49:08.:49:15.

this system come in from the west across south-west England into Wales

:49:16.:49:21.

and Ireland and after that, sunshine. However, as the system

:49:22.:49:26.

continues to push across Northern Ireland and eventually getting into

:49:27.:49:29.

north-west England and north Scotland, the cloud will build. The

:49:30.:49:35.

far east having the dark skies the longest. It will take until after

:49:36.:49:39.

dark probably until the rain makes the eastern areas. Here comes the

:49:40.:49:43.

weather front. Quite blustery, as you can tell from the squeezing

:49:44.:49:47.

isobars. And then we have a second front. The tail end of that will

:49:48.:49:53.

come back in. To put detail on that, here comes the rain again. Again, a

:49:54.:49:57.

lot of rain pushing towards the south. Rain in the north as well. In

:49:58.:50:03.

between, brighter conditions. Highs of 12 degrees. A blustery day.

:50:04.:50:08.

Friday, rain swinging in from the south-west. Quite a lot of dry

:50:09.:50:12.

weather further east with temperatures especially in the south

:50:13.:50:18.

coming down, now on the up. Thank you. Good to hear. We like a bit of

:50:19.:50:28.

rain. The rain was coming down very solidly.

:50:29.:50:36.

On Wednesday, the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, will unveil his

:50:37.:50:38.

economic plans for the country in his spring budget.

:50:39.:50:41.

Here on Breakfast this week, we'll be looking at the impact it

:50:42.:50:44.

This morning, we're focusing on millennials, those born

:50:45.:50:48.

Steph has taken to the road, and is just outside Aberdeen for us

:50:49.:50:52.

with a catering business and its young workforce.

:50:53.:50:54.

You have a massive spoon! It is my paddle. Good morning, everybody. I

:50:55.:51:08.

wish it did smell this. It is a gorgeous stew being made here. I am

:51:09.:51:15.

at a catering factory in Aberdeen. I am talking about what the economy

:51:16.:51:18.

will do for young people. The budget is coming out soon. I am travelling

:51:19.:51:22.

the country to work out what it means for different generations.

:51:23.:51:30.

This firm employs nearly 100,000 people. They have 1500 meals they

:51:31.:51:36.

need to make today. That food will go to the offices in the area. They

:51:37.:51:40.

also work with the energy industry. We will talk with 16-year-old

:51:41.:51:45.

Nicole. You left school and came straight here. Doing well. I left

:51:46.:51:54.

the academy after I won a competition and went through to the

:51:55.:52:03.

final. It is all going well for you? You are earning while learning. And

:52:04.:52:08.

you are saving for a car? I have a driving test coming up. Good luck

:52:09.:52:13.

with that. I also want you to meet Tyler, one of the apprentices here

:52:14.:52:18.

doing accountancy. A little bit older. 19. Tell us a little bit

:52:19.:52:24.

about your life and what used band your money on. Most of my money goes

:52:25.:52:32.

on my car. -- what you spend your money on. What would make your life

:52:33.:52:37.

easier with money? Is fuel came down a little bit and car insurance quite

:52:38.:52:42.

a lot. -- if. It is extortionate on young children. You live at home at

:52:43.:52:49.

the moment. What is your plan? I want to save as much as I can to get

:52:50.:52:54.

out by 24. You would like to buy your own house? Yeah. Wendy you that

:52:55.:53:01.

happening? 24- 25. -- When do you. Does it feel different to

:53:02.:53:09.

university? I definitely have the advantage of having finished my

:53:10.:53:13.

course by the time they get out of university. Good luck to you. Lovely

:53:14.:53:19.

to talk to you. We are talking to many people about this. Jane

:53:20.:53:23.

McCubbin, one of the Breakfast reporters, went to see some people

:53:24.:53:26.

in London to see what they are worried about.

:53:27.:53:30.

Let us introduce the millennials. Hi, my name is Abby. I am 24, and I

:53:31.:53:42.

am a freelance as. I live in Tottenham, north London, with my

:53:43.:53:45.

parents and my brother and younger sister. I am 24. I live at home with

:53:46.:53:54.

my mum and sister. I live in Surrey and I am renting and lived four

:53:55.:53:58.

other people. All this week, we will be getting a grip on what this

:53:59.:54:03.

generation wants from the budget. If you are a millennial, you were born

:54:04.:54:08.

between 1981 and 2000. You are finishing education and making a

:54:09.:54:12.

start to your career. You have been most affected by the falling pay of

:54:13.:54:15.

recent years and are struggling to get onto the housing ladder and are

:54:16.:54:22.

suffering high rents as a result. So it is with our millennials. Me and

:54:23.:54:25.

my sister share a room, which we have done all our lives. I am 24.

:54:26.:54:31.

24! It is a bit like, OK, it is time to go. We cannot afford it. It is

:54:32.:54:36.

just not going to happen. How does your mother feel about this? Until I

:54:37.:54:41.

am kicked out, I am going to have to stay there. None of their salaries

:54:42.:54:46.

can come remotely close to the 6-figure sums to just rent here. To

:54:47.:54:52.

be managed to move out of home, but only by moving out of the city. --

:54:53.:54:57.

Toby. The am for you is to own your own home? Yes. Somewhere. Like many

:54:58.:55:04.

of the children my age, I could get a deposit, though it will take a

:55:05.:55:07.

while. I just want economic stability. Economic stability. That

:55:08.:55:11.

is the big thing for to be especially with Brexit. I want the

:55:12.:55:15.

government to reassure me with something coming out now. What do

:55:16.:55:19.

they want from the budget on Wednesday exactly? Housebuilding,

:55:20.:55:23.

economic security, and Brexit. This is what I want, affordable housing,

:55:24.:55:28.

and how are they going to pay for it? Go after tax dodgers. I want the

:55:29.:55:32.

government to support young people so they don't have to move out of

:55:33.:55:36.

the city to make a living. Make housing affordable. So, Philip

:55:37.:55:42.

Hammond, if you are watching, millennials want housing, housing,

:55:43.:55:48.

and housing. And a new focus on a generation that largely feels left

:55:49.:55:49.

out. Jane McCubbin, BBC News. With me now is Adam who is from

:55:50.:55:59.

Shelter Scotland. Obviously, your charity looked at a lot of the

:56:00.:56:02.

issues with people trying to get housing. We were hearing about young

:56:03.:56:06.

people worried about that just then. What could we hear that would help

:56:07.:56:10.

young people getting on the ladder? We need to build more homes, and

:56:11.:56:15.

more affordable homes, and in particular, homes available for

:56:16.:56:19.

social rent. The stories heard today and you will hear if you are

:56:20.:56:23.

anywhere across the country today is that we just do not have enough

:56:24.:56:27.

supply of good quality affordable homes. That is having a tangible

:56:28.:56:31.

knock-on effect on young people. I saw a report last year that in

:56:32.:56:35.

Scotland, nearly a million people aged between 18 and 45 were putting

:56:36.:56:40.

off major life milestones because of the impact of housing. That is

:56:41.:56:46.

impacting children, getting married, and retirement, at the other. The

:56:47.:56:50.

cost of housing is having a huge effect. -- the other end.

:56:51.:00:19.

Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:20.:00:25.

A new chapter for British car-making -

:00:26.:00:27.

Tokyo calls it "a new stage of threat".

:01:16.:01:20.

On Wednesday, the Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget.

:01:21.:01:23.

All this week on Breakfast we're looking at what it means for each

:01:24.:01:28.

This morning we're talking about the millennial is, so those born in the

:01:29.:01:40.

80s and 90s. This factory here in Aberdeen employs a lot of them. I

:01:41.:01:44.

look to find out what they want from the economy.

:01:45.:01:45.

What a weekend its been for Britains Laura Muir.

:01:46.:01:53.

:02:09.:02:19.

with some frost around. But for some of us, bright spells and showers.

:02:20.:02:23.

Some heavy rain across parts of south-west England depositing some

:02:24.:02:28.

snow in the Moors, but that will clear, and then you, too will have

:02:29.:02:30.

sunshine and showers. There's uncertainty for thousands

:02:31.:02:32.

of British car workers as a deal that will see Vauxhall sold

:02:33.:02:38.

to the French owners of Peugeot The French car giant

:02:39.:02:41.

PSA has agreed to buy General Motors European operations

:02:42.:02:45.

for ?1.9 billion pounds. The deal includes Vauxhall's plants

:02:46.:02:47.

in Ellesmere Port and Luton, from where our reporter

:02:48.:02:50.

Simon Clemison joins us now. Good morning to you. I have been

:02:51.:03:10.

speaking to one or two people here as the shares have changed over in

:03:11.:03:14.

Luton this morning. And there is concern that this deal, which as you

:03:15.:03:19.

say has been confirmed in the last hour. We were expected over the last

:03:20.:03:22.

few weeks, but what it essentially means is that the car industry map

:03:23.:03:25.

of Europe could be redrawn. In the car industry,

:03:26.:03:31.

we're used to car brands been owned But if the European arm

of General Motors, which makes Vauxhall, or Opel in Germany,

it would be a huge move, making the French manufacturer

:03:55.:03:57.

in the supply chain. There are about 1400 workers

at Luton, making one General Motors has been losing

:04:00.:04:02.

there are questions over how Commentators say they have capacity

been speaking to the But there are concerns

:04:26.:04:28.

for jobs and pensions once existing contracts start

:04:29.:04:33.

to expire in 2021. Now we know that because it does not

:04:34.:04:43.

make much sense, if you think about it, to move production until a model

:04:44.:04:48.

comes to the end of the line. That is because it is very complex and

:04:49.:04:51.

costly. Everything is that APA. So does not make much as they say. But

it is have even. But what if Perce use one of its fans as a basis for a

:05:06.:05:11.

Vauxhall model. If it has a facility elsewhere in Europe, we could be

:05:12.:05:14.

outside in Europe at that point. There are so many questions to

:05:15.:05:18.

remember. As I said, the arm of the company at the moment is not making

:05:19.:05:22.

profit, it is making a loss. So they want to make a profit, they could

:05:23.:05:26.

adapt to do something. We are expecting more details in the next

:05:27.:05:28.

hour, details that the workers want. Britain's most senior anti-terrorism

:05:29.:05:31.

officer has revealed that thirteen potential terror attacks have been

:05:32.:05:33.

prevented since June 2013. Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley

:05:34.:05:37.

is launching a campaign, encouraging people to report

suspicious activity. Here's our Home Affairs

strikes you as unusual. Detectives say the public

:06:21.:06:32.

is still playing an important part in one third of their

current investigations. Senior detectives are warning that

that the number of attacks in Britain thought to have been

than the figure given At any one time, the security

services are running The threat level remains at severe,

:06:52.:06:58.

which means that the risk of an attack is assessed

:06:59.:07:02.

as "highly likely". And we'll be talking little more

:07:03.:07:19.

about that later, and about 40 minutes time.

:07:20.:07:24.

North Korea has fired four missiles, - three of which landed

:07:25.:07:29.

in Japanese-controlled waters less than 200 miles

:07:30.:07:31.

They appear to have been launched from a remote military base

:07:32.:07:35.

We can speak to our correspondent, Steve Evans, who joins us

:07:36.:07:39.

What more can you tell us about this? How serious is it? It is this

:07:40.:07:47.

the very serious SA Power like North Korea, which is about to turn

:07:48.:07:52.

Washington into a sea of flames, and is working on nuclear weapons,

:07:53.:07:56.

unleashes for missiles. What would make it really serious is if these

:07:57.:07:59.

launches show that it is making progress, that it is making better

:08:00.:08:06.

missiles. It let off a whole host of missiles last year and many were

:08:07.:08:10.

duds. These were not. Experts will now look to see if North Korea is

:08:11.:08:14.

making progress towards an intercontinental ballistic missile.

:08:15.:08:18.

And if that happens, then the US get seriously worried. -- the US gets

:08:19.:08:27.

seriously. Labour has said it is "confident"

:08:28.:08:28.

that Jeremy Corbyn has paid It's after the Labour leader

:08:29.:08:31.

published his tax return as part of a call for transparency

:08:32.:08:35.

from politicians. The return did not appear to include

:08:36.:08:37.

the money he is entitled Let's get the latest from our

:08:38.:08:40.

Political Correspondent Iain Watson Just take us through what exactly

:08:41.:08:49.

has been published and what questions they might be. I think

:08:50.:08:53.

what Jeremy Corbyn is finding out is that there is an unintended

:08:54.:08:55.

consequence to publishing his tax return. The intended consequence was

:08:56.:08:58.

to put his political opponents on the back foot, to say they are not

:08:59.:09:02.

being transparent. Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, as you know, said he

:09:03.:09:05.

would not make his tax affairs public. But now it is Jeremy

:09:06.:09:09.

Corbyn's own tax affairs that are in the spotlight. Because at first

:09:10.:09:12.

base, it looked like he had not declared extra income is Leader of

:09:13.:09:15.

the Opposition. Some newspapers reported that. Additionally, his

:09:16.:09:20.

office could not come up with Asus factory expedition. I can tell you,

:09:21.:09:24.

though, that the riddle has been solved. It is difficult to read the

:09:25.:09:29.

small print, but it turns out that that extra salad extra salary is

:09:30.:09:36.

listed as a benefit, broken down into the Stuart Kennedy Greek public

:09:37.:09:40.

office. It appears that Jeremy Corbyn has coughed up the right

:09:41.:09:43.

amount of tax. But what his opponents are saying inside, never

:09:44.:09:48.

mind outside, the Labour Party is that there might not be tax evasion

:09:49.:09:52.

or avoidance, but this issue is about confidence. He should have

:09:53.:09:56.

been a silly crystal clear about his own tax affairs before he went on

:09:57.:10:00.

the attack and try to take his vertical opponents out in the week

:10:01.:10:03.

of the budget. Thank you for joining us. -- take his political opponents

:10:04.:10:08.

out. This week BBC News are

:10:09.:10:11.

looking at air pollution - the World Health Organisation

:10:12.:10:14.

estimates 9 out of 10 people across the world are

:10:15.:10:17.

breathing polluted air. And it's estimated in the UK

:10:18.:10:18.

the lives of around 40,000 people a year are shortened

:10:19.:10:22.

due to illnesses linked We're joined now by Dr Maria Neira

:10:23.:10:24.

from the World Health Really good to talk to. How have the

:10:25.:10:32.

WHO come to this figure of 1.7 million deaths from children under

:10:33.:10:36.

five each year? This is an estimation that we do and the

:10:37.:10:40.

purpose of that was to alert and to raise awareness about how this

:10:41.:10:44.

problem is getting really dramatic. Years ago, we had an alert saying

:10:45.:10:52.

that 6.5 million premature deaths are recorded every year because of

:10:53.:10:58.

the exposure to add pollution. Both indoor and outdoor air pollution.

:10:59.:11:03.

Today, our call is for giving people the figures that represent the cost

:11:04.:11:08.

of polluted air we breathe. And this time, we focused on children,

:11:09.:11:12.

because we think the figure is even more dramatic. So 1.7 million deaths

:11:13.:11:17.

in children under the age of five caused by exposure to different

:11:18.:11:20.

environmental risk factors, I think that deserves some action and alert

:11:21.:11:26.

in the -- and immediate interventions. Other countries that

:11:27.:11:34.

are worse than others? Definitely developing country. The population

:11:35.:11:39.

is more vulnerable. The government have not taken the actions and

:11:40.:11:44.

solutions that may be in richer countries we have put in place. But

:11:45.:11:48.

it is wrong to think that this is only affecting developing countries.

:11:49.:11:53.

This is affecting all of us. This is affecting, as well, people living in

:11:54.:11:57.

very industrialise places, the rich places, where you cannot choose the

:11:58.:12:01.

air you breathe. You are exposed and you have two breathe, no matter

:12:02.:12:07.

where you are. In different cities around the world, you are exposed.

:12:08.:12:12.

We are looking particularly at air pollution this morning. But the

:12:13.:12:16.

purpose of your figures, you have considered clean water, add

:12:17.:12:20.

pollution and so on. The thing that can be confusing to lump all of

:12:21.:12:24.

those together when they are all distinct problems? Yes. In the of

:12:25.:12:27.

air-pollution, this is one of the biggest environmental risks that we

:12:28.:12:32.

are on. As I said, there are 6.5 million deaths around the globe

:12:33.:12:37.

caused by exposure to air-pollution. The message is different if you are

:12:38.:12:42.

living a rich country or a developing country. But still this

:12:43.:12:46.

is a problem that we all need to put measures in place to fight for. And

:12:47.:12:51.

the BBC, this week, we're looking at a sort of series about pollution.

:12:52.:12:56.

Today, that eagerly, we're looking at the problem of idling. People are

:12:57.:13:02.

sitting with their car engines on. They can cause issues, can't it?

:13:03.:13:08.

Sure. It might only be a small part of the solutions we need to put in

:13:09.:13:12.

place, but it is an important one. Because first it desensitises

:13:13.:13:16.

children, and create education. And it promotes as well a safer and more

:13:17.:13:22.

sustainable way of transport. Ideally, we should go for a public

:13:23.:13:27.

transport system, that would be more cost-effective and reduce pollution.

:13:28.:13:33.

We need to invest in better systems for sustainable transport, public

:13:34.:13:35.

transport, but in the meantime, obviously all of those measures are

:13:36.:13:39.

extremely important and can contribute to the solution. A lot of

:13:40.:13:44.

those things to government action. But on an individual and family

:13:45.:13:47.

bases, what sort of things could or should we be doing? I think that is

:13:48.:13:54.

a good measure. If you can safely walk or ride a bike, that would be

:13:55.:13:58.

fantastic as well. And creating that culture at home to your children, as

:13:59.:14:02.

well. Recycling. The conscious of the way we use energy. We need to be

:14:03.:14:07.

very efficient in the way we use energy. Particularly if our energy

:14:08.:14:12.

or electricity is produced by coal fired power plants, which are very

:14:13.:14:16.

much in committing to the pollution. And we all need to get very

:14:17.:14:20.

well-informed. Because the more we know about how our pollution is

:14:21.:14:24.

impacting our health, how it is having a terrible negative impact on

:14:25.:14:31.

our cardiovascular systems and so on, the more pressure we put on our

:14:32.:14:37.

politicians for them to take more measures. Our mayor 's, those who

:14:38.:14:43.

have solutions that are a bit more institutional at a government level.

:14:44.:14:47.

But we'll need to contribute. From what you are saying, there is no

:14:48.:14:53.

quick fix. There are some quick fixes. If you change the sources of

:14:54.:14:58.

where you produce energy, and move to renewable energy and. Coal power

:14:59.:15:05.

parklands, for instance. -- mayors. That will have an immediate return.

:15:06.:15:12.

But if you go on sustainable power, there are people trained to do that.

:15:13.:15:14.

-- coal powered power plants. BBC News are looking at air

:15:15.:15:20.

pollution all this week, and John Maguire is at a school

:15:21.:15:23.

in East London where they're trying to tackle a particular

:15:24.:15:27.

aspect of the issue. The main stories this morning. The

:15:28.:15:33.

French car giant, PSA, will buy the European arm of General Motors for

:15:34.:15:45.

?1.9 million. And the most senior antiterrorism officer reveals 13

:15:46.:15:49.

terror attacks have been boiled on home soil. -- foiled. He will be

:15:50.:15:57.

with us later. We were saying that John Maguire is out and about

:15:58.:16:04.

talking about pollution caused by cars keeping their engines on while

:16:05.:16:05.

they are waiting. Good morning. John Maguire is at a school

:16:06.:16:08.

in East London where they're trying Good morning. They have a clear

:16:09.:16:18.

message for us this morning. Stop idling! There you go. These are the

:16:19.:16:26.

wonderful posters they have been working on. Idling is an issue here

:16:27.:16:30.

just like it is across the UK. Just behind the children is where they

:16:31.:16:34.

sit with their engines running. It is an even larger problem in the

:16:35.:16:38.

winter, of course. One of the things the school has done has applied for

:16:39.:16:43.

a grant to plant some trees to negate the effects of idling. It is

:16:44.:16:49.

an issue here and right across UK in schools.

:16:50.:16:55.

What do you think those dark patches are?

:16:56.:16:57.

From schools in Birmingham, to Port Talbot...

:16:58.:17:01.

We are looking at where we will plant trees

:17:02.:17:05.

in the school to help tackle air pollution.

:17:06.:17:07.

Many people have issues because of the things

:17:08.:17:10.

There is a quiet revolution under way, and at times like this.

:17:11.:17:14.

In the name of science, Will has said he will take this tool

:17:15.:17:21.

Using highly sophisticated tech, we can analyse the pollution.

:17:22.:17:41.

He will track pollution along his journey with his friends.

:17:42.:17:43.

And now we have a professor from the University of Leeds

:17:44.:17:46.

Normally when you are stuck in traffic, that is when the levels

:17:47.:17:51.

We have crossed some roads and seeing huge spikes, actually.

:17:52.:17:57.

They have got a good route to school.

:17:58.:18:00.

At the school gates is where all the cars are parking and dropping

:18:01.:18:10.

the children off and idling, we can see lots of spikes

:18:11.:18:13.

And that exposure to pollution over the route is mainly focused around

:18:14.:18:19.

So, basically we are asking people to turn off their engine

:18:20.:18:24.

It is yet another success for this anti-idling patrol.

:18:25.:18:43.

These volunteers in Islington have been trained in what to say

:18:44.:18:46.

to people to get them to turn off and deal with inevitable excuses.

:18:47.:18:50.

The councils say this is about local people cleaning up local streets.

:18:51.:18:54.

Today it is about this street in this area trying to reduce

:18:55.:18:57.

pollution levels for pupils at school.

:18:58.:19:00.

So, just how much difference can switching off your engine make?

:19:01.:19:04.

Testing in one location saw that by stopping idling,

:19:05.:19:06.

The bigger message is that it helps people understand the impact

:19:07.:19:13.

of small actions on the kind of larger problem of air quality.

:19:14.:19:16.

I'm sorry to bother you, but your engine is running.

:19:17.:19:24.

In the last six years as he went to work on his way to the theatre

:19:25.:19:32.

of London, actor Nigel Havers is a man on a mission.

:19:33.:19:35.

They wonder who I am and have said some pretty choice things to me.

:19:36.:19:39.

But generally speaking, people are aware and said,

:19:40.:19:41.

This is a drop in the ocean, admittedly, or a particle

:19:42.:19:47.

in the air, if you liked, when compared to the global problem

:19:48.:19:50.

But new research shows how changing habits and switching off engines can

:19:51.:19:57.

make a difference in protecting our most precious resource.

:19:58.:20:01.

And who could say no to Nigel and these posters? Look at this one.

:20:02.:20:14.

Make the earth cleaner. Less pollution. I like this one. Stop

:20:15.:20:22.

pollution, it's the only solution. You can wait, but switch off the

:20:23.:20:30.

engine. That is talk to Ralph from NICE. I'll be doing enough? We have

:20:31.:20:36.

put Freedom of Information request to councils. Only 50 said they and

:20:37.:20:41.

give staff the right to issues fines. The guides were using say it

:20:42.:20:51.

is a good thing. Children and elderly are particularly vulnerable.

:20:52.:20:56.

At the age of 14, they are at a stage of development, and pollution

:20:57.:21:00.

can harm the development of their lungs. We want to do something about

:21:01.:21:05.

this. And fines is one of the guidelines recommended. Do we expect

:21:06.:21:11.

them to be successful and taken up? We see all sorts of signs outside

:21:12.:21:15.

school about slowing down and not parking on the lines and that sort

:21:16.:21:19.

of thing. Should this be at every school? It depends on the setting.

:21:20.:21:25.

Look at where we are. Many high buildings surrounding us. That

:21:26.:21:28.

causes a barrier that trapped pollutants inside. You have problems

:21:29.:21:33.

in places like this. In other places with better insulation, there are a

:21:34.:21:38.

number of diesel vehicles not passing through, and it is not so

:21:39.:21:43.

much a problem. We know from measurements that this is one of the

:21:44.:21:46.

three worst polluted schools in London. It is of particular concern

:21:47.:21:52.

here. The children. Good morning. Tell me what you have been doing at

:21:53.:21:56.

school. At school we have been doing many things towards idling. For

:21:57.:22:02.

example, we have been learning how it can affect people. Yeah. And

:22:03.:22:06.

mainly children. Some people with asthma and maybe lung disease. It

:22:07.:22:12.

can affect them negatively. Absolutely. What will you do,

:22:13.:22:17.

Joseph? Tell me about your white sheet. We put white sheets

:22:18.:22:25.

everywhere. When we collect them back in, the one in the car park

:22:26.:22:29.

that we put up was very black. Right. So was the one in the

:22:30.:22:34.

playground. Though not as bad the point that is worrying, because then

:22:35.:22:38.

you know that is what is happening inside your lungs as well. Shall we

:22:39.:22:42.

have a back to the studio? Back to the studio, Dan and Louise. Back to

:22:43.:22:49.

the studio, Dan and Louise. Excellent work. Thank you! Thank you

:22:50.:22:56.

for remembering our names. I could get used to that. Now for the

:22:57.:23:03.

weather with Carol! The best introduction ever. The weather has a

:23:04.:23:08.

role to play in air pollution. I am no expert on the subject, but when

:23:09.:23:11.

the rush-hour was, generally speaking, we do not have so many

:23:12.:23:21.

problems. -- there are showers,. That is because the air is rising.

:23:22.:23:30.

But with high pressure, that acts as a lid, keeping pollutants in We have

:23:31.:23:35.

sunny spells and scattered showers in the forecast. Some have

:23:36.:23:38.

persistent rain. Especially in south-west England. Low not far

:23:39.:23:44.

away. And some fronts producing this rain. We are just off the peninsula

:23:45.:23:51.

where we have had a gust of wind at 109 miles per hour recently. Nothing

:23:52.:23:54.

like that here. This morning in south-west England, rain. Snow in

:23:55.:24:00.

the moors. That will continue to pulls out. That is around the

:24:01.:24:06.

Channel Islands. Southern counties. Sunny spells and bright spells. With

:24:07.:24:10.

the cloud, certainly big enough for the odd shower. That extends into

:24:11.:24:16.

central England as well. The same for Scotland. Another front in

:24:17.:24:23.

Shetland producing rain. Aberdeenshire, frost. More showers

:24:24.:24:28.

and hill snow in the west. A nippy start in Northern Ireland. Some

:24:29.:24:32.

sunshine for you. It will not last all day. Wales, sunshine around. And

:24:33.:24:38.

a nippy start. Through the day, you can see how it will remain. It will

:24:39.:24:44.

improve in south-west England with sunshine and showers. Most of the

:24:45.:24:49.

sunshine will be in the east. A lot of dry weather. But later in the

:24:50.:24:53.

day, some more rain will show its hand across Northern Ireland. Some

:24:54.:24:57.

else do with that as well. Through the evening and overnight that will

:24:58.:25:02.

transfer into the mainland parts of England and Wales and Scotland.

:25:03.:25:07.

Showers in the east still. The wind direction, coming from all

:25:08.:25:11.

directions. Cold enough for frost in sheltered areas tonight. Where there

:25:12.:25:18.

are damp surfaces, the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Tomorrow, dry

:25:19.:25:24.

and bright and much of the UK. More rain in the south-west and in Wales

:25:25.:25:29.

and Northern Ireland. Ahead of that, cloud building. Windy as well.

:25:30.:25:33.

Slowly progressing to the east. Eastern areas hanging onto the

:25:34.:25:37.

driest conditions until after dark. There goes that front, moving east.

:25:38.:25:42.

Then another one sinking south, just in time for Wednesday. Then, on

:25:43.:25:48.

Wednesday, we are looking at a pretty wet day in southern and

:25:49.:25:51.

central areas. Rain in the north. But in between, brighter and

:25:52.:25:56.

brighter conditions. Thank you very much for that. We will see you later

:25:57.:26:03.

in the programme. This is BBC News. On Wednesday, the Chancellor will

:26:04.:26:09.

unveil this budget. We are just outside Aberdeen looking at what it

:26:10.:26:13.

means for young people, who have been very busy this morning. What

:26:14.:26:18.

are they cooking up? Good morning. Good morning. A fancy rhubarb dish

:26:19.:26:23.

we are making this morning with Nicole, one of the people employed

:26:24.:26:26.

by this catering firm in Aberdeen. Around one third of their staff are

:26:27.:26:31.

under 30 here. I am here talking to them about what they would like to

:26:32.:26:37.

hear from the budget. We will do this all week, from different

:26:38.:26:41.

generations the previous week is the millennials, those born in the 80s

:26:42.:26:45.

and 90s. They are prepping 1500 meals a day. That will go to

:26:46.:26:50.

businesses in the area and schools and nurseries. In Aberdeen they deal

:26:51.:26:54.

a lot with the energy industry as well. I will tell you all about

:26:55.:26:57.

that. But buying the European

:26:58.:26:58.

arm of General Motors The deal includes the Vauxhall

:26:59.:30:42.

also said there were 500 live counter-terror

investigations at any time. He disclosed the figures

:31:06.:31:06.

as he launched an appeal that aims to get members of the public

:31:07.:31:09.

to report any suspicious behaviour. We will be speaking to me a little

later this morning. -- to him. North Korea has fired four missiles,

rejected President Donald Trump's claim on Saturday that his

predecessor, Barack Obama, Mr Comey reportedly asked the US

:32:49.:32:50.

Justice Department to reject the allegation Mr Obama ordered

a wiretap during last Our Washington correspondent

:33:02.:33:03.

Nick Bryant has more on this story. The White House still hasn't

:33:04.:33:08.

produced any evidence to back up the claim that Barack Obama

:33:09.:33:11.

or the White House ordered wiretaps White House officials

:33:12.:33:14.

pointing people, reporters, towards some newspaper reports

:33:15.:33:17.

that they have read, which heightens the speculation that

:33:18.:33:23.

President Trump's Twitter tirade was not based on intelligence

:33:24.:33:25.

briefings that he had received, but rather, as strongly suspected,

:33:26.:33:28.

he was reading a right-wing news One is James Clapper coming out

:33:29.:33:31.

and saying there were no wiretaps. And Clapper is not only somebody

:33:32.:33:37.

who worked for Barack Obama, he also worked for George W Bush

:33:38.:33:40.

and George Herbert Walker Bush. He is seen as a trusted figure,

:33:41.:33:43.

a non-partisan figure. And another key development -

:33:44.:33:55.

the FBI director, James Comey, it has been reported he approached

:33:56.:33:57.

the Justice Department, and asked the Justice Department

:33:58.:34:00.

to come out publicly and say that President Trump was wrong,

that this was a false accusation, That is a big slap down

from the director of the FBI. Coming up on shortly Carol

:34:07.:34:15.

will have the weather. But now, Sally is

:34:16.:34:20.

here with the sport. Laura Muir is certainly an athlete

:34:21.:34:29.

we'll be hearing a lot more She had the most prodigiously

:34:30.:34:40.

brilliant weekend. We will be hearing a lot about this girl,

:34:41.:34:42.

believe you me. She stormed to victory in Belgrade

:34:43.:34:43.

in a championship record time ahead of Turkey's Yasemin Can

:34:44.:34:48.

and compatriot Eilish McColgan. Muir's achievements matched those

:34:49.:34:51.

of Colin Jackson set in Paris 23 I did know what my legs

:34:52.:34:54.

were going to do today. I tried to hang in there

:34:55.:35:04.

and I am very tired. But I'm so glad I

:35:05.:35:07.

could do that today. Did go according to plan? I just

:35:08.:35:20.

tried to tag onto Yasemin Can. And managed to cross the line in first

:35:21.:35:23.

place. And after her efforts to complete

:35:24.:35:27.

a victory lap on Saturday, she had a more relaxed time of it

:35:28.:35:30.

celebrating her 3000m success. She confessed she was shattered.

:35:31.:35:38.

Nobody stopping that little bit of a victory lap, they are. She did a bit

:35:39.:35:42.

more running around in postal voters. Obviously delighted with the

:35:43.:35:43.

result, there, last night. Asha Philip is also celebrating

:35:44.:35:46.

gold, she pulled off a surprise, breaking the British record

:35:47.:35:49.

on her way to taking the 60 metres. It's her first individual medal

:35:50.:35:52.

at a major senior championships. I knew I had it in me,

:35:53.:35:55.

and they think the confidence ran me through the race, but everytime

:35:56.:36:10.

I seem to get on that start line, I thought a pickup in Eagle. But

:36:11.:36:18.

they didn't. And they said I was going to go out and do my best. And

:36:19.:36:23.

they did. They came out here for the W, and they did.

:36:24.:36:30.

And Robbie Grabarz understandably said he was "over the moon"

:36:31.:36:36.

with a silver medal in the high jump - just six weeks after having

:36:37.:36:40.

an emergency operation to remove his appendix.

England's cricketers are enjoying their Caribbean

:36:42.:36:43.

They've won twice in Antigua and now they are going to Barbados

:36:44.:36:47.

The hosts chose to bat first but England bowled them out for 225,

:36:48.:36:53.

always likely to be below a competitive total.

:36:54.:36:55.

The West Indies spin bowlers gave England some problems but Joe Root

:36:56.:36:58.

saw them home with ten balls to spare.

:36:59.:37:01.

If you wanted to leave your job, you could do worse than following

:37:02.:37:04.

the example of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.

:37:05.:37:11.

He walked out of training, arguing with his teammates -

:37:12.:37:15.

and almost got in a fight with one of them.

:37:16.:37:18.

goalscorer - he was left out of the starting line-up

:37:19.:37:29.

against Liverpool at the weekend by his manager Arsene Wenger.

:37:30.:37:32.

He said it was a tactical decision instead of saying his striker

:37:33.:37:35.

Elsewhere in North London, Tottenham have a very happy striker.

:37:36.:37:39.

Harry Kane scored two more goals in their win over Everton.

:37:40.:37:42.

It's their ninth consecutive home win in the league,

:37:43.:37:44.

Two goals from Harry Kane and one from Delle Ali was enough to secure

:37:45.:37:49.

It is true that we are playing very well. Always, it is very good to

:37:50.:38:04.

play for our fans. The atmosphere is great. Weekend deal that. And yes,

:38:05.:38:11.

so far, we are in a very good position, here. We feel confident

:38:12.:38:17.

and we hope that we can go in the same way. -- we can feel that.

:38:18.:38:27.

Manchester City are one point behind Spurs after winning 2-0 at

:38:28.:38:30.

Sergio Aguero scored his 23rd goal of the season and Leroy Sane

:38:31.:38:34.

It's a fourth league win in a row for Pep Guardiola's side.

:38:35.:38:38.

There will be an Old Firm derby in the semi-finals

:38:39.:38:41.

of the Scottish Cup after Celtic thrashed St Mirren 4-1

:38:42.:38:43.

Scott Sinclair scored the pick of Celtic's goals to give them

:38:44.:38:51.

the lead as they came back from a goal down at home.

:38:52.:38:54.

Aberdeen will face Hibs after their 1-0 victory over

:38:55.:38:57.

And finally, the Wife-Carrying Championship has taken place

:38:58.:39:03.

Lots of people taking part. There is one kind of hole that is very

:39:04.:39:12.

popular. It is thought of upsidedown and over the shoulder. Over the hay

:39:13.:39:20.

bales. And the winners were in fact Jack and Kirsty from North Wales. We

:39:21.:39:26.

will see the end of the course is actually upheld. That is very

:39:27.:39:31.

challenging. There is a Brogue Kick who just got his wife. -- there is a

:39:32.:39:36.

blokey. And there you have -- and there you have Jack and

:39:37.:39:40.

Kirsty. Getting ready to sit exams can

:39:41.:39:45.

be a stressful time. With the summer term fast

:39:46.:39:57.

approaching the BBC is launching a new way of helping pupils

:39:58.:40:00.

cope with the pressure. Called the Mind Set,

:40:01.:40:03.

it offers tips and tricks from 12 student coaches who have

:40:04.:40:06.

recently been there. We'll speak to three of them

:40:07.:40:08.

in a moment but here's a look Talk to your friends or parents.

:40:09.:40:25.

They will want what is best to you. Tell them your concerns or talk to

:40:26.:40:29.

friends and get advice from them. Because they properly went through

:40:30.:40:32.

the same thing and might have come through it. When I realised that my

:40:33.:40:36.

worrying are stressing was getting out of hand, realise they needed to

:40:37.:40:39.

confide in somebody. So immediately went to my parents because they knew

:40:40.:40:43.

I could talk to them. So every night, even if it was what I thought

:40:44.:40:56.

was a series worry or something small, about it, and it is

:40:57.:40:59.

surprising how much better you would feel after speaking to some of it.

:41:00.:41:03.

-- silly. To know that your friends can connect to a certain situation

:41:04.:41:06.

during this period is quite comforting. The maths teacher was

:41:07.:41:09.

quite good because I have been dire at Mass since I was no edge. She

:41:10.:41:13.

helped me by saying that all they needed to do was passed. And I could

:41:14.:41:18.

get it over with. -- bad at maths. It is a stressful time. I know a lot

:41:19.:41:22.

of people will be going through it, and have gone through it.

:41:23.:41:26.

Joining us in the studio now are Dr Radha Modgil and student

:41:27.:41:29.

Let's's talk about it in a general way. We will go to some specifics in

:41:30.:41:37.

a moment, but let's talk about general things. Exams have always

:41:38.:41:43.

been stressful, have a? They have. A rise in anxiety and expectation, as

:41:44.:41:47.

well as competition is new. We are just catching up in terms of

:41:48.:41:51.

teaching people how to deal with pressure. I think we need to do a

:41:52.:41:57.

lot more about that. That is why this campaign is so fantastic. And

:41:58.:42:03.

you and you have all come through exams yourself. What was it likely

:42:04.:42:07.

you? How stressful did you find the whole process of revising and

:42:08.:42:12.

entered in the exams? It was very stressful. There is a lot of

:42:13.:42:16.

emphasis on what you don't know what you need to learn, and what I found

:42:17.:42:20.

was helpful was focusing on what you do know, because it is a time in

:42:21.:42:24.

your life where you are taking so much information. And all the GCSE

:42:25.:42:27.

students should all be proud about. And that will help you with stress.

:42:28.:42:32.

And you say you are stressed. Your stress. How did that affect... Poor

:42:33.:42:39.

you! How did it affect you and what help to? I struggled a lot with

:42:40.:42:45.

self-doubt is confidence. So I think that just are that I was doing well

:42:46.:42:49.

and doing OK and reminding myself that it was my journey not comparing

:42:50.:42:53.

myself to others. So it is for me and my GCSEs. There is so much

:42:54.:43:02.

chatter. You can do the exam and asked how people dead. What did you

:43:03.:43:07.

do about that? After exams, I would not say because you need to stay

:43:08.:43:12.

with a small stress as possible. Citing not talking to others about

:43:13.:43:16.

it and stressing is about more is the best thing to do. Because after

:43:17.:43:20.

exams, there is a view can do, there is nothing good about talk about it.

:43:21.:43:25.

Once you have done it, you just let it out. That is what I used to do.

:43:26.:43:29.

People start asking questions about what you did, and your confidence is

:43:30.:43:32.

shot. Are there any other techniques that you advise, now, being people

:43:33.:43:38.

have gone through a? Some people might be worried about an hour with

:43:39.:43:44.

them coming up. I was great about it now, as I started revising December.

:43:45.:43:48.

I think that is the best advice can give. Start early so you are not

:43:49.:43:54.

stressed at the end so there is not loads of the last point. Is yourself

:43:55.:43:59.

into it, not all at once. It can feel overwhelming, the sheer scale

:44:00.:44:03.

of it all. So how do you advise people to deal with that sort of

:44:04.:44:08.

sense? I think the main thing to do is to tell somebody haler feeling.

:44:09.:44:12.

And for those parents and teachers to listen and to make sure that they

:44:13.:44:15.

are taking seriously. We'll know what it feels like when pressure

:44:16.:44:20.

become stress. So talk about it, work out practical ways, as well, to

:44:21.:44:25.

deal with revision timetables, things like that. Also they are

:44:26.:44:29.

looking at exercise and well-being, having brakes, listening to music.

:44:30.:44:33.

All of these tips and tricks are really important to keep you happy.

:44:34.:44:37.

Because it is a long road on the way to exam. You start preparing very

:44:38.:44:41.

early. You need to keep their reserve in the tech. It is a balance

:44:42.:44:46.

between getting the pressure right. On the one hand, it is just a piece

:44:47.:44:54.

of paper, but at the centre, it feels very important. And if you

:44:55.:44:57.

validate, it can cause issues. Is that they sort of stress process you

:44:58.:45:00.

feel yourself dealing with? Definitely. I was under a lot of

:45:01.:45:05.

pressure. I was considered the student who is going to do really

:45:06.:45:10.

well. Were you the head girl as well? I was. Even when people were

:45:11.:45:15.

very lovely and helpful, I put a lot of pressure on myself. And wherever

:45:16.:45:19.

the pressure is coming from, the most important thing is to tap into

:45:20.:45:25.

why you want to do well. And if that is not something which has a

:45:26.:45:28.

relationship with what you're doing, it not that pressure. Just focus on

:45:29.:45:32.

the pressure that comes from you and use that to drive you.

:45:33.:45:39.

What about taking breaks? That was important because you find a balance

:45:40.:45:45.

between work and social life. Don't isolate yourself and your friends

:45:46.:45:49.

because they are important. And they are going through the same thing.

:45:50.:45:55.

Did you take breaks? I did. I was able to go hang out with my friends

:45:56.:46:03.

for an hour. Are used that to motivate me to study hard. Spread it

:46:04.:46:13.

out. --I used. Something strikes me about always being attached to

:46:14.:46:18.

mobile phones and incoming messages on social media. What did you do

:46:19.:46:22.

with that? I turned my phone off. I knew I would get distracted. Put it

:46:23.:46:30.

in the cupboard. Really what about you? I would have a cheeky look. You

:46:31.:46:37.

have to have your own approach. Every time I sat the exam, the first

:46:38.:46:43.

hour, I would just organise my desk. Do you do that? Put all your pens in

:46:44.:46:52.

line. Good advice. Thank you very much indeed. If you want to find out

:46:53.:46:57.

more about how to keep calm during the exam period, go to

:46:58.:47:04.

bbc.com/mindset. Good advice. And now for the weather. Good morning.

:47:05.:47:10.

Good morning. A mixture this morning of sunshine, bright spells, and

:47:11.:47:13.

showers. Also some rain in the forecast. That is because of an area

:47:14.:47:17.

of low pressure coming in from south-west England bringing rain,

:47:18.:47:22.

but also strong wind. The placement is important because it has gone

:47:23.:47:27.

south. The root of the storm is affecting France. In fact, off the

:47:28.:47:35.

coast of Brittany, we had a gust of 90 miles an hour. It is a

:47:36.:47:39.

fast-moving storm. Later today, it would be down here. 80 miles an hour

:47:40.:47:47.

here. Back on our shores, what we're looking at today a mixture of bright

:47:48.:47:51.

spells, sunshine, and showers. The rain in the south continuing to push

:47:52.:47:55.

southwards. Wet in the Channel Islands this morning. Windy. It will

:47:56.:48:01.

give way to show later on eventually. Lots of showers later

:48:02.:48:03.

on, especially in the east. Through the afternoon, they will

:48:04.:48:07.

conglomerated in Northern Ireland with hill snow to boot. Hill snows

:48:08.:48:13.

year. Most of the showers in the east. Hit and miss. A weather front

:48:14.:48:20.

still plaguing this area. Northern England and the north-west, seeing

:48:21.:48:25.

the brightest skies. Prone to showers here in the Pennines.

:48:26.:48:29.

Heading to the Midlands and East Anglia and Kent. Not all of us will

:48:30.:48:35.

catch showers. Some will stay dry. Bright weather in southern counties.

:48:36.:48:40.

In the south-west, compared to the rain this morning, a much improved

:48:41.:48:44.

picture. Wales as well will have a mostly dry afternoon with just a few

:48:45.:48:48.

showers here and there. Through the evening and overnight, hanging on

:48:49.:48:52.

our lot of showers. Lots of dry weather as well. -- on to. Where it

:48:53.:48:58.

is cold enough, we could have some ice on untreated surfaces. Also some

:48:59.:49:03.

frost as well. Wind coming from every direction. Tomorrow we start

:49:04.:49:08.

off with a chilly note. Again, when we lose the showers in the east, dry

:49:09.:49:12.

and bright weather. Some fine china. The next weather fronts coming in

:49:13.:49:16.

from the Atlantic will introduce rain initially to south-west

:49:17.:49:19.

England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Ahead of that system, the

:49:20.:49:23.

cloud will build. Not until after dark that we will see the rain in

:49:24.:49:28.

the far east. Eastern areas hanging onto the sunken for the longest

:49:29.:49:35.

time. Another weather front going south just in time for Wednesday.

:49:36.:49:40.

So, when today's picture is looking quite messy. A fair bit of rain

:49:41.:49:45.

around at times. -- Wednesday's. The tale of that weather front still

:49:46.:49:52.

affecting Scotland. Breezy. High as 14. Thank you. Wednesday is messy.

:49:53.:50:00.

And what about for the Chancellor? On Wednesday, the Chancellor

:50:01.:50:09.

will unveil his financial plan for the country

:50:10.:50:12.

in his spring budget. This week on Breakfast we're looking

:50:13.:50:14.

at what it could mean Today's focus is on millennials,

:50:15.:50:17.

those born between the early 1980s Steph is at a catering firm

:50:18.:50:21.

just outside Aberdeen. Good morning. They are making her

:50:22.:50:28.

work. Good morning. That is not me. That is the expert hands of Nicole.

:50:29.:50:31.

Something mesmerising about watching things being chopped up, well, fruit

:50:32.:50:38.

and veg and things like that. This is a big catering firm. They employ

:50:39.:50:44.

a lot of people. Around one third of their staff are under the age of 30.

:50:45.:50:47.

They supplied the area. They will talk about how they feel about the

:50:48.:50:53.

economy and the budget on Wednesday. They are prepping 1500 meals here.

:50:54.:51:01.

So many businesses in the area are being served by them. It is

:51:02.:51:06.

certainly a busy business. I can talk to Shane, one of the apprentice

:51:07.:51:10.

is. Tell us what you have done here. I have been on a chef

:51:11.:51:14.

apprenticeships for three years. I am training us. You are only 19.

:51:15.:51:21.

Tell us about the things you are doing with money. I use it on my car

:51:22.:51:29.

or my pet. Insurance is going up every year. It is a struggle. You

:51:30.:51:36.

fork out a lot on your car. And you want to join the housing ladder is

:51:37.:51:41.

it is really expensive to buy a house to buy it this is an area that

:51:42.:51:51.

did well off the oil industry, but you feel it will be a while. It is

:51:52.:51:55.

really hard to buy a house. Good luck with the rest of your career.

:51:56.:51:59.

Housing is a big issue for Shane, but many people around the country

:52:00.:52:03.

as well. We went to meet some people in London to hear their thoughts on

:52:04.:52:05.

it. I live in Tottenham, north London,

:52:06.:52:11.

with my parents and my brother I live at home with

:52:12.:52:22.

my mum and sister. I live in Surrey and I am renting

:52:23.:52:27.

and lived with four other people. All this week, we will be getting

:52:28.:52:31.

a grip on what this generation wants If you are a millennial,

:52:32.:52:40.

you were born between 1981 and 2000. You are finishing education

:52:41.:52:45.

and making a start to your career. You have been most affected

:52:46.:52:48.

by the falling pay of recent years and are struggling to get

:52:49.:52:51.

onto the housing ladder and are suffering high

:52:52.:52:54.

rents as a result. Me and my sister share a room,

:52:55.:52:56.

which we have done all our lives. It is a bit like, OK,

:52:57.:53:02.

it is time to go. How does your mother

:53:03.:53:14.

feel about this? Until I am kicked out,

:53:15.:53:19.

I am going to have to stay there. None of their salaries can come

:53:20.:53:24.

remotely close to the six-figure Toby managed to move out of home,

:53:25.:53:27.

but only by moving out of the city. The aim for you is to

:53:28.:53:33.

own your own home? Like many of the people my age,

:53:34.:53:35.

I could get a deposit, I just am concerned

:53:36.:53:42.

about economic stability. That is the big thing for to be

:53:43.:53:53.

especially with Brexit. I want the government to reassure me

:53:54.:53:56.

with something coming out now. What do they want from the budget

:53:57.:53:59.

on Wednesday exactly? Housebuilding, economic

:54:00.:54:02.

security, and Brexit. So, this is what I want,

:54:03.:54:03.

affordable housing, and how I want the government to support

:54:04.:54:06.

young people so they don't have to move out of the city

:54:07.:54:13.

to make a living. So, Philip Hammond,

:54:14.:54:15.

if you are watching, millennials want housing,

:54:16.:54:19.

housing, and housing. And a new focus on a generation that

:54:20.:54:21.

largely feels left out. So, some thoughts there from some

:54:22.:54:37.

young people that we met. So more people to talk to. The founder of

:54:38.:54:46.

Young Money Blog. And one of the economists at NatWest. We heard some

:54:47.:54:54.

thoughts. Cars with Shane and housing too. It is interesting that

:54:55.:54:58.

he talked about car insurance. Many of the workers here have told us

:54:59.:55:01.

about the pressures they face. Many have had to get on their bike to get

:55:02.:55:08.

work. The equivalent is to get in the car. How can you do that when

:55:09.:55:12.

car insurance is into the thousands each year. Perhaps we need to

:55:13.:55:18.

rethink changes to the car insurance premium. And the rate which means

:55:19.:55:23.

people get more money if they are in a car accident and claim

:55:24.:55:27.

compensation but we have to pay more in insurance premiums. We have to

:55:28.:55:32.

address that the bite and wages as well. Absolutely. The national

:55:33.:55:36.

living wage at the moment, there is only a legal requirement to give

:55:37.:55:42.

that you over 35s. Perhaps we should rethink that and give the under 25s.

:55:43.:55:46.

They need help with wages to bite absolutely. Of we talk about the

:55:47.:55:54.

pressure on young people, but what about the pressure on the chance of

:55:55.:55:58.

it? He is under pressure. But we have good news. The economy will

:55:59.:56:02.

grow faster than it was 4-5 months ago. That means there will be more

:56:03.:56:13.

need to spend money. But as a country, we want the government to

:56:14.:56:17.

spend more money on public services than we paid with tax is. -- taxes.

:56:18.:56:26.

He will have to bring the deficit down. More tax and less spending.

:56:27.:56:31.

Interesting to see what happens in the next two days. You will stay

:56:32.:56:37.

with us to talk later on. First, the news, travel, and weather, where

:56:38.:00:00.

This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:01.:00:06.

A new chapter for British car-making - the French company which owns

:00:07.:00:09.

Citroen and Peugeot seals a deal to buy Vauxhall.

:00:10.:00:11.

The 2 billion euro deal raises questions over the future of 4,000

:00:12.:00:14.

jobs at its Ellesmere Port and Luton plants and 30,000 more,

:00:15.:00:18.

Police launch a new campaign urging people to report suspicious activity

:00:19.:00:45.

North Korea launches four missiles towards the Sea of Japan.

:00:46.:00:51.

Tokyo calls it "a new stage of threat."

:00:52.:00:56.

On Wednesday, the Chancellor will unveil his last spring Budget.

:00:57.:00:59.

All this week on Breakfast, we're looking at what it means

:01:00.:01:01.

Today we are talking about millennial is, those born in the 80s

:01:02.:01:15.

and 90s was the I am at Obama in Aberdeen that they employ a lot of

:01:16.:01:18.

them define that what they think about the economy.

:01:19.:01:21.

What a weekend it's been for Britains Laura Muir!

:01:22.:01:23.

She claimed the 3000 metre title to add to her 1500 metre win

:01:24.:01:26.

at the European Indoor Athletics Championships.

:01:27.:01:27.

And this time she was allowed a victory lap.

:01:28.:01:37.

We are at a primary school which suffers from air pollution. The

:01:38.:01:42.

children have a clear message for drivers who do not switch off their

:01:43.:01:49.

engines. News on that and the rest of the weather from Carol. A chilly

:01:50.:01:54.

start all some of us with Frost. For most of us it would be a day of

writes about, sunshine and showers. More details in 15 minutes. --

:02:03.:02:09.

bright spells. There's uncertainty for thousands

:02:10.:02:13.

of British car workers as a deal that will see Vauxhall sold

:02:14.:02:17.

to the French owners of Peugeot The French car giant PSA has agreed

:02:18.:02:20.

to buy General Motors European The deal includes Vauxhall's plants

:02:21.:02:24.

in Ellesmere Port and Luton, from where our reporter,

:02:25.:02:27.

Simon Clemison, joins us now. Good morning. There have Dean shifts

:02:28.:02:45.

changing over this morning I have been speaking to some of the

:02:46.:02:49.

workers. They are concerned about this deal that has been confirmed

:02:50.:02:52.

this morning but we have been expecting it for a couple of weeks.

:02:53.:02:57.

What this means is that car industry map of Europe, which includes Luton

:02:58.:03:01.

and elsewhere port, could now be rewritten. -- else may port.

:03:02.:03:10.

In the car industry, we're used to car brands been owned

But if the European arm of General Motors, which makes

Vauxhall, or Opel in Germany, to the company that makes Peugeot

:03:17.:03:19.

and Citroen goes ahead, it would be a huge move,

:03:20.:03:21.

making the French manufacturer the second biggest

:03:22.:03:23.

But there are now fears for jobs, which the Unite union says

:03:24.:03:27.

More than 1900 people produce the Astra at Ellesmere Port,

:03:28.:03:32.

with 120,000 vehicles rolling off the production line each year.

:03:33.:03:35.

Thousands more are employed in the supply chain.

:03:36.:03:37.

There are about 1400 workers at Luton, making one

:03:38.:03:39.

General Motors has been losing money on these sides

:03:40.:03:42.

If workers here eventually have new bosses in France,

:03:43.:03:46.

rather than in America, there are questions over how

:03:47.:03:49.

Commentators say they have capacity to build more cars at the plants

:03:50.:03:55.

The Government has been speaking to the

:03:56.:04:00.

But there are concerns for jobs and pensions once

:04:01.:04:04.

existing contracts start to expire in 2021.

:04:05.:04:15.

As we know, it does not make much sense to move production until the

:04:16.:04:22.

models come to the end of the run. It is costly and complex will do

:04:23.:04:27.

everything here is set up for it. It is what happens after that that is

:04:28.:04:32.

the big concern. What if Peugeot word to say, we have a van, let

:04:33.:04:37.

essentially put the Vauxhall badge on it. They are talking this morning

:04:38.:04:42.

about seeing through the turnaround plans would they want to make a

:04:43.:04:46.

profit, they may have to do something. More detail is what we

:04:47.:04:51.

are expecting in the next hour in a news conference. More detail is what

:04:52.:04:54.

many of these workers will want to see. Plenty more on that on the rest

:04:55.:04:58.

of the programme and throughout the day on the BBC News Channel.

:04:59.:05:04.

13 potential terror attacks have been prevented since June 20 13.

:05:05.:05:13.

Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley is launching a campaign to encourage

:05:14.:05:30.

more people to report this activity. There was a plotted Al-Qaeda bombing

:05:31.:05:35.

campaign against targets like nightclubs and shopping centres.

:05:36.:05:38.

Well -- a woman working at the storage warehouse became suspicious

:05:39.:05:45.

and reported it to the police, potentially saving hundreds of

:05:46.:05:50.

lives. If you see something suspicious, report it. A new police

:05:51.:05:55.

campaign focuses on the important contribution the public can make. It

:05:56.:06:00.

can be any thing that strikes you as unusual.

:06:01.:06:21.

Detectives say the public is still playing an important part

:06:22.:06:23.

in one third of their current investigations.

:06:24.:06:25.

Senior detectives are warning that supporters of so-called

:06:26.:06:27.

Islamic State are not the only threat.

:06:28.:06:29.

Al Qaeda remains a danger, too, as does far-right terrorism.

:06:30.:06:31.

New official figures show that the number of attacks

:06:32.:06:33.

in Britain thought to have been thwarted since June 2013 has risen

:06:34.:06:36.

to 13, one higher than the figure given six months ago.

:06:37.:06:39.

At any one time, the security services are running

:06:40.:06:41.

The threat level remains at severe, which means that the risk

:06:42.:06:45.

of an attack is assessed as "highly likely".

:06:46.:06:47.

On Breakfast in the next few minutes, we'll be speaking to the

:06:48.:06:53.

Assistant Commissioner. That is innate few minutes. -- that is in a

:07:23.:07:31.

the US have big military exercises. North Korea gets very angry about

this and often looses off missiles. We do not know if this is different

more on the story. The White House has not produced any

:11:18.:11:22.

there were no wiretaps. He is not only someone who worked for Barack

Obama he also worked for George W Bush. He is seen as a nonpartisan

:11:28.:11:34.

and trusted figure. The FBI director James Komi, it has been reported,

has asked the Justice Barman to say that President Trump was wrong. This

was a full is activation needs to be corrected. -- the Justice

Department. That is a big slap down from the director of the FBI.

:11:54.:11:58.

Members of the public have made significant contributions to a third

:11:59.:12:00.

of the 100 most high risk ongoing terrorism investigations.

:12:01.:12:03.

That's according to Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer,

:12:04.:12:05.

who says the public are key to keeping our streets safe.

:12:06.:12:07.

And Assistant commissioner Mark Rowley joins us now.

:12:08.:12:11.

Good morning. Thank you for talking to us today. So much to talk about.

:12:12.:12:18.

Let's start with the nature of the threat you'd think we are facing

:12:19.:12:24.

these days. It is broader than it has ever been before. When you look

:12:25.:12:30.

at the attacks on the continent, in Brussels and Paris, these were big,

:12:31.:12:34.

sophisticated attacks causing major loss of life. Through to some of the

:12:35.:12:38.

attacks which have been foiled or conducted on the continent where you

:12:39.:12:43.

have one individual radicalised who has a knife and wants to kill one or

:12:44.:12:51.

two people. We have to deal with all of those. While we are succeeding at

:12:52.:12:58.

the moment with 13 plots disrupted over the last four years, we need

:12:59.:13:02.

more information. What sort of information are you getting what are

:13:03.:13:07.

you looking for? How has it helped to thwart recent plots? The best

:13:08.:13:13.

place to start from is our work is like doing a jigsaw without all the

:13:14.:13:19.

pieces. Surveillance is not perfect. People use encrypted applications

:13:20.:13:23.

and it is a challenge. Sometimes a member of the public gives

:13:24.:13:26.

information which will start an investigation. Other times we

:13:27.:13:30.

already have an investigation under way and a give another piece to

:13:31.:13:34.

help. It may be someone in the cumin tea or who says someone's

:13:35.:13:41.

personality has changed and they are showing signs of radicalisation. All

:13:42.:13:45.

the way through to somebody you do not know, maybe where you work or go

:13:46.:13:49.

shopping and you see someone, in an area you know, where instinctively

:13:50.:13:53.

you'd think that is not quite right. That is what we want. Even know we

:13:54.:14:00.

are getting a lot of the public have a job to help us but they say they

:14:01.:14:05.

do not know how and not competent to do it. This appeal by pod and

:14:06.:14:12.

website information, all of that is about giving the public more

:14:13.:14:16.

information to ensure them about how we will treat the information. One

:14:17.:14:21.

concern you picked up on is that people are concerned they are

:14:22.:14:26.

wasting your time. It is a bit odd but I will not trouble anybody.

:14:27.:14:31.

We'll try to build up confidence. If your instinct says it is wrong,

:14:32.:14:37.

please call us. Even if it is not right, no one is going to throw away

:14:38.:14:41.

the key on a call. Sometimes got that call gives us the starting

:14:42.:14:45.

point for an operation about targets we do not know about. The idea

:14:46.:14:50.

you're working on 500 investigations and still requesting this

:14:51.:14:54.

information, those that mean that strategy is not working and you are

:14:55.:15:02.

not stopping radicalisation? In the last year or two, 150 people have

:15:03.:15:06.

shown signs of radicalisation, ambitions to travel to Syria and

:15:07.:15:11.

preventative work done by police, local authorities, the channel

:15:12.:15:15.

programme, they have been steered back onto a more sensible view of

:15:16.:15:21.

the world and have not travelled. Some of that information, if you

:15:22.:15:25.

spot someone early on on a path of radicalisation, it might be a young

:15:26.:15:29.

person who at a vulnerable point in their life is having their heads

:15:30.:15:33.

turned, the more it can be preventative rather than someone

:15:34.:15:37.

planning to do something awful being imprisoned for a long time, which is

:15:38.:15:38.

sad. Can you give us any figures? 150 people who have been looking to

:15:39.:15:47.

travel to Syria will be one part of it. We're, every month we're closing

:15:48.:15:53.

between about 50 and 70 cases where concern has been raised about an

:15:54.:15:57.

individual and police, local authorities and voluntary agencies

:15:58.:16:00.

have worked to try and steer them back on to a sensible course. That's

:16:01.:16:04.

fantastic results. You talked about the different levels of threat from

:16:05.:16:07.

a Paris-style attack to individuals. Let's deal with that sort of, the

:16:08.:16:12.

attack that happened at the Bataclan. Are you ready if that sort

:16:13.:16:17.

of thing was to happen here? Are officers ready for that sort of

:16:18.:16:21.

thing? We have done an immense amount to strengthen our ability to

:16:22.:16:24.

respond. You will see have lots of announcements. After that, we looked

:16:25.:16:31.

at that and worked with Government and they gave us extra money and

:16:32.:16:36.

we're trying firearms officers and that's the firearms officers who are

:16:37.:16:42.

on 24/7 and some of our more high grade specialists who can deal with

:16:43.:16:45.

the most difficult situations. I know you talked about this before,

:16:46.:16:48.

if that sort of thing were to happen, you talked about members of

:16:49.:16:52.

the public, you know, it is a very terrifying situation... Completely.

:16:53.:16:56.

What's your advice? On our website, there is information. It is run,

:16:57.:17:00.

hide, tell. We have seen information in the past where people might,

:17:01.:17:11.

where I am and then some someone in authority will tell me what to do.

:17:12.:17:15.

Run, get as far as away as possible and to the point where you can hide

:17:16.:17:19.

yourself safely and call the authorities, call the police. It is

:17:20.:17:24.

simple advice that's designed to be simple. We know it would work and it

:17:25.:17:28.

is based on analysing attacks across the world. Good to speak to you.

:17:29.:17:32.

Thank you very much indeed for your time this morning.

:17:33.:17:42.

It's 8. .17am. Let's find out what's happening with the weather.

:17:43.:17:48.

It has been raining steadily across the south-west of England. That is

:17:49.:17:55.

moving quite quickly across France and towards the Mediterranean and

:17:56.:17:59.

Italy, but we have had a gust of wind recorded off the coast of

:18:00.:18:04.

Brittany at 119mph. Nothing like that in south-west England, but it

:18:05.:18:07.

is blustery and you can see all the rain associated with it. Extending

:18:08.:18:11.

down into the Channel Islands where at the moment it is pretty wet. Now,

:18:12.:18:15.

it will remain so in the Channel Islands for a wee while yet and that

:18:16.:18:19.

rain will turn more showery and it will brighten up. That's certainly

:18:20.:18:23.

the case across south-west England. A lot of dry weather, but a fair few

:18:24.:18:27.

showers, more especially in eastern area, but later in Northern Ireland,

:18:28.:18:30.

we will start to see the showers line up and some of them will merge.

:18:31.:18:34.

Producing some rain at lower levels and snow with height. For Scotland,

:18:35.:18:39.

a lot of dry weather. A fair bit of sunshine, but there are a scattering

:18:40.:18:42.

of showers around. Wintry on the hills and still an old weather front

:18:43.:18:49.

playing the Northern Isles. North-east England seeing a few more

:18:50.:18:52.

showers and again the showers hit and miss wherever you are, but

:18:53.:18:55.

through parts of the Midlands and into East Anglia, Essex and into

:18:56.:19:01.

Kent, but in between them, it will be dry or bright and sunny skies.

:19:02.:19:04.

Variable amounts of cloud and sunshine and this morning's rain

:19:05.:19:08.

giving way to some showers, but still quite blustery. For Wales this

:19:09.:19:11.

afternoon, a beautiful afternoon with just a few showers. Through the

:19:12.:19:16.

evening and overnight, the showery outbreaks of rain will push across

:19:17.:19:20.

into western areas. We will have some in the east, but in between,

:19:21.:19:24.

there is a lot of dry weather. The wind coming at us from every

:19:25.:19:26.

direction, but not particularly strong and of course, where we've

:19:27.:19:30.

got damp surfaces and low temperatures there is the risk of

:19:31.:19:34.

ice on untreated surfaces and frost. Now, we've got the next system

:19:35.:19:37.

waiting in the wings for tomorrow and it's coming our way. So after a

:19:38.:19:42.

dry and bright start with sunshine here comes into the rain into

:19:43.:19:46.

south-west England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The cloud will

:19:47.:19:50.

build so it is eastern areas that will hang on to the sunshine and

:19:51.:19:55.

probably we won't see the rain until after dark. In the sunshine highs of

:19:56.:19:58.

11 Celsius will feel pleasant. Nothing special. If you're in the

:19:59.:20:03.

rain it's seven Celsius. So that system, you can see the two fronts

:20:04.:20:07.

continue to drift away, but we've got another one that's heading

:20:08.:20:10.

south-east wards and the tail end of it by the time we get to Thursday

:20:11.:20:13.

will take another swipe at the south-west. Let's deal with

:20:14.:20:17.

Wednesday first. We have got a weather front sinking south taking

:20:18.:20:20.

the rain with itment more rain and windier conditions in the north. In

:20:21.:20:23.

between, drier and brighter. A blustery day, but look at that, 14

:20:24.:20:27.

Celsius in London. Ten Celsius in glass gosmt that's more like it, Lou

:20:28.:20:32.

and Dan. Isn't it, indeed? Thank you Carol.

:20:33.:20:40.

It is 30 years since Britain's worst ferry disaster. Gavin Lee is there

:20:41.:20:50.

for us this morning. Good morning. What is happening there today? Just

:20:51.:20:56.

behind me, from this boat is the spot just ahead behind this harbour

:20:57.:21:03.

wall here where the Herald of Free Enterprise sank. It capsized and it

:21:04.:21:09.

was the most simple, careless and catastrophic mistake that the staff

:21:10.:21:15.

didn't shut the bow doors. The assistant, Mark Stanley was asleep

:21:16.:21:19.

he told an inquest later in his cabin. Thousands of tonnes of water

:21:20.:21:24.

went into the vehicle deck and within 90 seconds the ship had

:21:25.:21:29.

capsized and 30 years on, I'm on a Navy boat. This is part of the

:21:30.:21:32.

commemorations, but on this boat some of the families, some of the

:21:33.:21:36.

survivors, some of the rescuers as well are coming back to place

:21:37.:21:41.

flowers in the water at exactly the same spot. Let me bring in one of

:21:42.:21:46.

the rescuers. This is Daniel. You were one of the military divers that

:21:47.:21:54.

day. It is clearly, you know, 500 people on board, 193 people died.

:21:55.:21:58.

Can you tell me a bit about what you remember from that day being on the

:21:59.:22:06.

water? That day, I was on duty at home and the telephone rings and the

:22:07.:22:17.

officer said, "I and two other divers must go to Zeebrugge because

:22:18.:22:33.

a boat was sinking. We arrived here on another boat. You worked

:22:34.:22:37.

underwater for hours on end. Tell me about that. And you came across

:22:38.:22:44.

survivors as well. I rescued only dead people because I was not the

:22:45.:22:48.

first on board. The first was A commander. He was one of the first.

:22:49.:22:56.

He rescued ten, 20, maybe 30 people. Did you say there were three British

:22:57.:23:00.

lorry drivers in a cabin who were trapped thaw managed to get to? Yes.

:23:01.:23:07.

Tell me about that. That's true. That was 5am in the morning, I think

:23:08.:23:12.

so, but they were not underwater, they were in the cabin. They were in

:23:13.:23:18.

the cabin. We rescued them. You saved their lives? No, because they

:23:19.:23:23.

are not in the water. It was very cold for them, of course, but not in

:23:24.:23:28.

the water. Let me ask you, what does it mean for you to be back here

:23:29.:23:37.

today commemorating like this? They invite me and I don't say no out of

:23:38.:23:48.

respect to the people who died here. That's the reason I am coming. Thank

:23:49.:23:54.

you. Thank you for talking to us Daniel. There is a lot of people on

:23:55.:23:58.

this boat that are finding it really difficult, I have to say today and

:23:59.:24:01.

many people who have decided not to come today, it is such a difficult

:24:02.:24:05.

moment, but so many more say just to see the moment when the flowers are

:24:06.:24:09.

laid to pay their respects will be very powerful in a short while too.

:24:10.:24:13.

I'm sure it will be a very poignant day there today. Thank you, Gavin.

:24:14.:24:22.

More now on the ?1.9 billion deal that will see French company PSA buy

:24:23.:24:25.

The deal has huge implications for the 4,500 workers

:24:26.:24:29.

at Vauxhall's plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton.

:24:30.:24:31.

Joining us is Karel Williams, Professor of Accounting

:24:32.:24:33.

and Political Economy at Manchester Business School.

:24:34.:24:35.

Good morning to you. So first up, I suppose, you know, what do you

:24:36.:24:41.

think, right at the start for people going into work today at these

:24:42.:24:46.

plants, are they worried? Should they be concerned? Is this a good

:24:47.:24:51.

thing? Well, they shouldn't worry about this year and next year, the

:24:52.:24:55.

big thing in the car industry is when they change over the models.

:24:56.:25:03.

The Astra is safe until 2020, the Vivara until 2025, but there is a

:25:04.:25:06.

big question and this increases the certainty about whether the models

:25:07.:25:10.

will be replaced. If you go back to PSA in the UK, and in 2007, that was

:25:11.:25:16.

about the run out of the 2006 and the new models going to be built

:25:17.:25:20.

elsewhere. And in addition to that, I suppose, when those contracts come

:25:21.:25:24.

to an end, there is broader concerns about the way the motor industry is

:25:25.:25:28.

developing and how we'll buy our cars in the future as well? Well, I

:25:29.:25:34.

think there are very large questions about autonomous cars, battery cars,

:25:35.:25:37.

changes in the whole business which will mean that car companies are

:25:38.:25:41.

competing with tech companies, but leave that to one side, I think

:25:42.:25:47.

someone like the CEO of PSA will be concerned to take cost out of the

:25:48.:25:50.

operation, will be concerned to close plants and I think if you add

:25:51.:25:57.

Brexit to the mix, that's another complication because Luton and

:25:58.:26:01.

Ellesmere, like the rest of the British industry, are importing most

:26:02.:26:04.

of their components and exporting most of their output. And that could

:26:05.:26:09.

have, are you saying cost implications? Well, I think, I think

:26:10.:26:16.

this is probably a more important point beyond Luton and Ellesmere

:26:17.:26:19.

Port. If you look at the industry as a whole, 60% of the components are

:26:20.:26:24.

imported. 80% of the output is exported. Mainly to Europe. And any

:26:25.:26:32.

kind of customs friction in that movement is going to greatly

:26:33.:26:36.

complicate things and make the industry much more nervous. What

:26:37.:26:39.

does this mean for the rest of the car industry in the UK? If they're

:26:40.:26:44.

worried here, I know it might be years down the line, how might that

:26:45.:26:49.

affect the rest of the industry? We need import substitution in

:26:50.:26:53.

components quickly. The Government has succeeded in pushing up count of

:26:54.:27:04.

cars from 36% to 41%, they need to have targets of 60% so they reduce

:27:05.:27:11.

the friction. That gives efficient plants the chance to compete on the

:27:12.:27:12.

basis of efficiency. It's time for the news,

:27:13.:27:16.

travel and weather where you are. I'll be back in half an hour

:27:17.:30:34.

with all the latest. Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:35.:30:43.

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. There's uncertainty for thousands

:30:44.:30:50.

of British car workers as a deal that will see Vauxhall sold

:30:51.:30:53.

to the French owners of Peugeot The French car giant PSA has agreed

:30:54.:30:56.

to buy General Motors European The deal includes Vauxhall's plants

:30:57.:31:01.

in Ellesmere Port and Luton. We can speak now to our business

:31:02.:31:17.

correspondent Joe Lynam. It sounds from the financial point of view, a

:31:18.:31:22.

huge deal. What does it mean for workers here? I have been watching

:31:23.:31:27.

the press conference between the bosses of PSA which owns Peugeot and

:31:28.:31:32.

Citroen and Mary Barra, the boss of General Motors. Let me quote you

:31:33.:31:38.

from Carlos Tavarez. He said we want to create a European Ultra motor

:31:39.:31:43.

champion and unleash the potential of Vauxhall and Opel and committed

:31:44.:31:49.

to the two iconic brands. Those are the words that the 4000 Vauxhall

:31:50.:31:54.

employees will welcome this morning. They were worried about their

:31:55.:31:58.

future. Their jobs are almost certainly safe until 2020. The boss

:31:59.:32:03.

of PSA has given those assurances, but next year, 2018, PSA will have

:32:04.:32:07.

to make a decision about where it will make the next generation of

:32:08.:32:13.

Vauxhall Astra. At the moment it is made in Ellesmere Port in

:32:14.:32:16.

Merseyside. Will that still be the case after 2020? We will not know

:32:17.:32:22.

until 2018. Britain will be in the throes of a massive negotiation with

:32:23.:32:29.

its 27 European partners about a future trade deal which could play a

:32:30.:32:37.

role in those talks. Thank you. Information from the public has

:32:38.:32:40.

helped police in a third of potential terror investigations.

:32:41.:32:44.

Security services have prevented 13 potential terror

:32:45.:32:46.

attacks since June 2013, the UK's most senior

:32:47.:32:47.

counter-terrorism police officer has revealed.

:32:48.:32:55.

North Korea has fired four missiles, three of which landed less

:32:56.:32:57.

than two hundred miles from the coast of Japan.

:32:58.:33:00.

The missiles appear to have been launched from a remote military

:33:01.:33:02.

South Korea's acting president has called it a serious provocation

:33:03.:33:06.

Talks are beginning in Belfast today aimed at forming

:33:07.:33:11.

The two largest parties, the Democratic Unionists

:33:12.:33:15.

and Sinn Fein, are still divided over a botched green energy scheme

:33:16.:33:20.

that led to the collapse of their previous administration.

:33:21.:33:22.

Sinn Fein say the DUP leader, Arlene Foster, can't be re-appointed

:33:23.:33:25.

as First Minister while her role in the scheme is being investigated.

:33:26.:33:36.

FBI director James Comey has rejected President Donald Trump's

:33:37.:33:38.

claim on Saturday that his predecessor, Barack Obama,

:33:39.:33:40.

Mr Comey reportedly asked the US justice department to reject

:33:41.:33:49.

the allegation that Mr Obama ordered a wiretap during last

:33:50.:33:51.

He is said to have asked for the correction because it

:33:52.:33:55.

falsely insinuates that the FBI broke the law.

:33:56.:34:03.

And coming up here on Breakfast this morning...

:34:04.:34:09.

We'll have more on the campaign to stop drivers leaving

:34:10.:34:12.

their engines idling when picking up their kids from school.

:34:13.:34:15.

They're the Toronto Wolfpack and they're Rugby League's first

:34:16.:34:18.

We'll talk to the club's owner about how he plans

:34:19.:34:22.

And after nine, we'll speak to the former teacher Simon Warr

:34:23.:34:27.

about his two-year fight to clear his name

:34:28.:34:29.

after he was accused of a crime he didn't commit.

:34:30.:34:36.

And Sally is here with all the sport.

:34:37.:34:42.

Morning. It has been a really busy weekend of sport. Lots to talk

:34:43.:34:47.

about. We will talk to Mr Tony Bellew in a moment.

:34:48.:34:56.

That was quite a fight on Saturday. He has broken his hand and David

:34:57.:34:59.

Haye ruptured his Achilles. That is a very important conversation coming

:35:00.:35:03.

up in a moment. We are going to start with Laura Muir.

:35:04.:35:06.

Laura Muir is certainly an athlete we'll be hearing a lot more

:35:07.:35:09.

She stormed to victory in Belgrade in a championship record time ahead

:35:10.:35:13.

of Turkey's Yasemin Can and compatriot Eilish McColgan.

:35:14.:35:15.

Muir's achievements matched those of Colin Jackson

:35:16.:35:16.

set in Paris 23 years ago, before she was even born.

:35:17.:35:22.

I didn't know what my legs were going to do today and I try to hang

:35:23.:35:28.

in there. I was feeling a bit tired but I was so glad to come away with

:35:29.:35:34.

that today. Did it go according to plan? The Turkish athlete is more of

:35:35.:35:41.

an endurance athlete, that worked well, I tagged onto her.

:35:42.:35:45.

And after her efforts to complete a victory lap on Saturday,

:35:46.:35:48.

she had a more relaxed time of it celebrating her 3000m success.

:35:49.:35:51.

No jobs-worth stewards around this time!

:35:52.:35:56.

Asha Philip is also celebrating gold, she pulled off a surprise,

:35:57.:35:58.

breaking the British record on her way to taking the 60 metres.

:35:59.:36:01.

It's her first individual medal at a major senior championships.

:36:02.:36:08.

Well done to her. I was so happy. I was not doubting

:36:09.:36:17.

myself. I knew I had it in me and I think the confidence got me through

:36:18.:36:21.

the race. Every time I got on the start line a false start happened

:36:22.:36:25.

and I thought, I have not got time for that in the final. There was a

:36:26.:36:29.

niggle, it was in my head. I said, do you know what, I'm just going to

:36:30.:36:33.

grow out there and do my best and I did.

:36:34.:36:36.

And Robbie Grabarz understandably said he was "over the moon"

:36:37.:36:38.

with a silver medal in the high jump - just six weeks after having

:36:39.:36:41.

an emergency operation to remove his appendix.

:36:42.:36:45.

England's cricketers are enjoying their Caribbean

:36:46.:36:46.

They've won twice in Antigua and now they are going to Barbados

:36:47.:36:52.

The West Indies chose to bat first in the second one-day international,

:36:53.:36:56.

but England bowled them out for just 225.

:36:57.:36:59.

In reply, they had some troubles, but Joe Root saw them home

:37:00.:37:02.

If you wanted to leave your job, you could do worse than following

:37:03.:37:08.

the example of Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez.

:37:09.:37:10.

He walked out of training, arguing with his teammates -

:37:11.:37:12.

and almost got in a fight with one of them.

:37:13.:37:20.

The Chilean is Arsenal's top goal scorer.

:37:21.:37:23.

He was left out of the starting line-up

:37:24.:37:25.

against Liverpool at the weekend by his manager Arsene Wenger.

:37:26.:37:28.

He said it was a tactical decision instead of saying

:37:29.:37:30.

I have almost no voice! I will continue, power on!

:37:31.:37:43.

BT sport will continue to show Champions League and Europa League

:37:44.:37:45.

The broadcaster is paying around ?394 million a year

:37:46.:37:52.

So there is nothing on terrestrial at all, not even highlights? It will

:37:53.:38:10.

all be on laptops and phones. If I am struggling with my voice,

:38:11.:38:15.

there is a man now who is struggling with injuries. Tony Bellew is linked

:38:16.:38:22.

with some huge fights. He caused a huge upset on Saturday

:38:23.:38:27.

night. He emerged victorious after his bout with David Haye. Tony

:38:28.:38:33.

Bellew joins us on the phone. How was the hand? Have you got a broken

:38:34.:38:39.

knuckle, a broken finger or a broken hand? It looks like a purple pillow

:38:40.:38:47.

at the moment. I have broken my hands four or five times before so I

:38:48.:38:51.

kind of know what it is. I am just in pain at the moment and it is what

:38:52.:38:58.

it is. The spoils of war. Tony, I have to ask you, I know you are

:38:59.:39:01.

supposed to be doing the school run this morning, how is that going? Mum

:39:02.:39:10.

is trying to get the last few bits together for them and I am just

:39:11.:39:14.

walking around in pain, to be honest, like a bit of a zombie! It

:39:15.:39:18.

is another day in the household, just doing what we do best and that

:39:19.:39:22.

is try our best to get the kids ready for school and get the last

:39:23.:39:27.

little bits together. Tony, how many more times can you do this? I don't

:39:28.:39:34.

know, I don't know. Not many, if at all.

:39:35.:39:45.

If at all? Might that have been your last fight? That is a possibility,

:39:46.:39:49.

yes. If they want to talk to me about having another fight, then I

:39:50.:39:52.

don't know, it will have to be something special because I will be

:39:53.:39:54.

honest, I can't keep doing this to my family and my body. I am in a lot

:39:55.:39:59.

of pain. Hand is broken again and cuts on the face. I am just in a

:40:00.:40:08.

world of pain, I really, really an. -- am. And for my family, it is not

:40:09.:40:13.

fair. I will take time to reflect at the weekend. I have beaten a

:40:14.:40:20.

monster. There is not a heavyweight champion in the world right now that

:40:21.:40:27.

has David Haye on their record. No one has beaten a man of the calibre

:40:28.:40:32.

of David Haye. He is the bogeyman of the heavyweight division, though one

:40:33.:40:41.

wanted to face him. Tony, you have mentioned your family, how affected

:40:42.:40:53.

your family by all the talk? Do you regret any of the chat? It got so

:40:54.:40:59.

nasty. I said no nasty words or any horrible, nasty things. I left that

:41:00.:41:06.

to him. I told him a few home truths. I said when the going gets

:41:07.:41:10.

tough he was going to spew it. I said, are you prepared for a walk?

:41:11.:41:14.

All of the things I said came to fruition. I said he would tire, I

:41:15.:41:20.

took his best and do you know what, I gave it back. He said it all in

:41:21.:41:28.

the ring after the fight. He was not good enough. He did not expect what

:41:29.:41:34.

I was going to bring. He looked at the video tapes of me and he

:41:35.:41:38.

underestimated me like they all do. They see the fat guy and they think

:41:39.:41:42.

they are going to walk right through and they are always wrong. Tony,

:41:43.:41:47.

would you fight him again? I don't know. I just hope he gets healthy as

:41:48.:41:52.

soon as possible. I am going to take some time at heel and recover and

:41:53.:42:05.

spend time with my family. I am not sure about doing this any more. I

:42:06.:42:07.

will be totally honest, I'm not sure my body can deal with it. I have far

:42:08.:42:11.

exceeded what I set out to do in this business, in this game, I

:42:12.:42:13.

really have. It will take something special to draw me back out. I'm

:42:14.:42:17.

being totally honest now. Tony, it has been fantastic to talk to this

:42:18.:42:21.

morning. Good luck with the school run, good luck with your recovery.

:42:22.:42:27.

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Everyone who watched

:42:28.:42:33.

and listened on Saturday, I cannot thank you enough. Tony, lovely to

:42:34.:42:40.

talk to you. Take care. And thank you to Tracy who brought

:42:41.:42:46.

on some water for you! He does sound exhausted and broken.

:42:47.:42:53.

You would be. The build-up for that fight was horrible at times. They

:42:54.:42:58.

have got to sell it. He was involved as much as David Haye in the billing

:42:59.:43:01.

of the fight and most people thought it would not last as long as it did.

:43:02.:43:06.

In a lot of ways it did live up to expectations because it could have

:43:07.:43:09.

been over superfast. Interesting that he sent his kids away. And the

:43:10.:43:15.

big decision about whether he will fight David Haye again. He sounds

:43:16.:43:23.

weary. Thank you, Sally. Go and have a good cough!

:43:24.:43:30.

Nine out of ten of us across the globe are breathing polluted air.

:43:31.:43:35.

This week on breakfast we are taking an in-depth look about what we can

:43:36.:43:40.

do about it. Today we are looking at pollution caused by cars keeping

:43:41.:43:44.

their engines on while they are parked or waiting in traffic. It is

:43:45.:43:48.

called idling. John Maguire is at a school in east London where they are

:43:49.:43:54.

trying to tackle the issue. Good morning, Louise. We are with the

:43:55.:43:58.

children from the school who have made posters to try and persuade

:43:59.:44:03.

drivers to switch their engines. What they want drivers to do is...

:44:04.:44:09.

Stop idling! It gets louder every time we do that! This is one of the

:44:10.:44:13.

most polluted areas in the City of London and across the UK. It is a

:44:14.:44:18.

real issue. We are outside the school gates. Traffic is starting to

:44:19.:44:22.

build up. The children's message needs to be loud and clear because

:44:23.:44:29.

they are amongst the most at risk groups.

:44:30.:44:31.

What do you think those dark patches are?

:44:32.:44:33.

From schools in Birmingham, to Port Talbot...

:44:34.:44:36.

We are looking at where we will plant trees in the school to help

:44:37.:44:40.

Many people have issues because of the things

:44:41.:44:46.

There is a quiet revolution under way, and it sounds like this.

:44:47.:44:51.

In the name of science, Will has agreed to be

:44:52.:44:57.

Using highly sophisticated tech, we can analyse the pollution.

:44:58.:45:06.

He will track pollution along his journey with his friends.

:45:07.:45:13.

And now we have a professor from the University of Leeds

:45:14.:45:15.

Normally when you are stuck in traffic, that is when the levels

:45:16.:45:28.

in the cabin of a car can get quite high.

:45:29.:45:31.

We have crossed some roads and you can see

:45:32.:45:38.

They have got a good route to school.

:45:39.:45:43.

At the school gates is where all the cars are parking and dropping

:45:44.:45:50.

We can see lots of spikes at that end.

:45:51.:45:53.

And that exposure to pollution over the route is mainly focused around

:45:54.:46:00.

So, basically we are asking people to turn off their engine

:46:01.:46:06.

It is yet another success for this anti-idling patrol.

:46:07.:46:18.

These volunteers in Islington have been trained in what to say

:46:19.:46:28.

to people to get them to turn off and to deal with some

:46:29.:46:31.

The councils say this is about local people cleaning

:46:32.:46:34.

Today it is about this street in this area trying

:46:35.:46:37.

to reduce pollution levels for pupils at school.

:46:38.:46:39.

So, just how much difference can switching off your engine make?

:46:40.:46:42.

Testing in one location saw that by stopping idling,

:46:43.:46:45.

The bigger message is that it helps people understand the impact

:46:46.:46:51.

of small actions on the kind of larger problem of air quality.

:46:52.:46:54.

I'm sorry to bother you, but your engine is running.

:46:55.:46:59.

In the past six years, as he went to work on his way

:47:00.:47:10.

to the theatre of London, actor Nigel Havers

:47:11.:47:12.

They wonder who I am and have said some pretty choice things to me.

:47:13.:47:17.

But generally speaking, people are aware and said, oh,

:47:18.:47:25.

This is a drop in the ocean, admittedly, or a particle

:47:26.:47:31.

in the air, if you liked, when compared to the global

:47:32.:47:33.

But new research shows how changing habits and switching off engines

:47:34.:47:37.

can make a difference in protecting our most

:47:38.:47:39.

Here they are, our most precious resource. "Think Of some easy

:47:40.:47:58.

solutions to stop pollution". I like this one as well, "Idling in line

:47:59.:48:04.

should be a crime! Children have also been writing letters to merit

:48:05.:48:14.

London Sadiq Khan. Dear Mr Khan, my name is velvet, I am one of the

:48:15.:48:20.

unfortunate souls who have been ignored but it stops now. It is

:48:21.:48:30.

mostly -- this pollution is mostly caused by fumes from idling. I

:48:31.:48:37.

believe that officers should be present to make sure that if I'd

:48:38.:48:41.

link takes place, a fine should be handed over to the driver. Tough

:48:42.:48:50.

stuff! Ray. I'm quite sure there is no pollution consequence that is

:48:51.:48:53.

worse than walking through a great Smoky missed completely outnumbered

:48:54.:48:59.

by colossal machines excreting floods of gas. Are you? Is there

:49:00.:49:03.

anything that exceeds this hairy hell?

:49:04.:49:06.

-- is there anything that exceeds this airy hell? Impressive stuff,

:49:07.:49:18.

Miss Baker. Definitely, they are year two and the year six children

:49:19.:49:22.

who have been working really hard and writing letters to the mayor and

:49:23.:49:27.

they would like things to change because of the pollution from

:49:28.:49:34.

idling. We talked earlier about the white sheets showing pollution on

:49:35.:49:40.

them. The year two children especially have been looking at the

:49:41.:49:43.

pollution in rush hour and looking at the amount of traffic on the

:49:44.:49:47.

roads during rush-hour and sometimes you can actually smell it or taste

:49:48.:49:51.

it in the back of your throat. Are we talking one or two days a year?

:49:52.:49:56.

It was just a normal day in February when we went out. There is quite

:49:57.:50:00.

often if you days in the year when we can smell it. Thank you. A

:50:01.:50:05.

headteacher here who was telling me that they receive a warning when the

:50:06.:50:11.

pollution levels reach a very high level and at that point they would

:50:12.:50:14.

keep the children indoors and stop them playing outside. The children

:50:15.:50:18.

have been fantastic, they have spoken well and there message has

:50:19.:50:25.

been very clear. They have one more message... Back to the studio! Give

:50:26.:50:35.

us a wave. STUDIO

:50:36.:50:39.

What a confident bunch of kids with their messages to the Mayor of

:50:40.:50:46.

London, very impressive. Carol, you have a thought on the pollution as

:50:47.:50:47.

well? Yes indeed. I'm no expert on air

:50:48.:50:59.

quality but the weather can affect it at times, the high pressure can

:51:00.:51:04.

act like a lead trapping the air pollution. When we have showers, you

:51:05.:51:08.

find that the air is rising and finding the shower clouds so the

:51:09.:51:12.

pollutants go higher up into the atmosphere. What we have got today

:51:13.:51:15.

is a mixture of sunshine and showers and this is a beautiful picture from

:51:16.:51:19.

County Down, sent in by one of our weather watchers. Another one here

:51:20.:51:24.

from South Gloucestershire, a pretty dull start to the day at this stage

:51:25.:51:28.

but look at this from West Yorkshire, lovely and sunny already.

:51:29.:51:32.

Sonny too in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire. Sunshine and showers

:51:33.:51:39.

sums it up. Also this area of low pressure producing some rain across

:51:40.:51:42.

the South West England and the Channel Islands. Look at the isobars

:51:43.:51:47.

around it, it's pretty windy, more across France where they are going

:51:48.:51:52.

to have gales or severe gales today. Gusts of 119 mph and by about six

:51:53.:51:56.

o'clock, that will be down across Italy. What we have, you can see

:51:57.:52:02.

where we have had the showers across parts of central Scotland and

:52:03.:52:05.

England but it is this big lump of rain that is heavy currently across

:52:06.:52:10.

the Channel Islands. As we go through the day, it will clear the

:52:11.:52:15.

south-west and later on it will clear Northern Ireland and also the

:52:16.:52:20.

Channel Islands. We have got more rain coming in as well. Dry and

:52:21.:52:24.

bright weather too with some sunshine to look forward to but

:52:25.:52:28.

through the afternoon, the cloud continues to build across Northern

:52:29.:52:31.

Ireland and we see some showers and hill snow. Also a weather front

:52:32.:52:37.

plaguing the Northern Isles. Sunshine and showers sums it up

:52:38.:52:43.

quite nicely for the rest of the country. North-east England you are

:52:44.:52:48.

prone to see some of these showers. As is the way with showers, you

:52:49.:52:56.

don't always catch one. As we drift across the southern counties, a lot

:52:57.:52:58.

of dry and fine weather and sunshine, some sunny spells across

:52:59.:53:02.

the south-west, still quite blustery. In the Wales you might see

:53:03.:53:06.

the odd shower but for most it will actually be dried. Through this

:53:07.:53:09.

evening and overnight, what you're going to find is that we have quite

:53:10.:53:14.

a view showers around with the wind coming in every direction. It's

:53:15.:53:18.

going to be a chilly night as well, chilly enough for some frost and

:53:19.:53:24.

also the risk of ice. By the end of the night we have got another front

:53:25.:53:29.

coming our way. Tomorrow we start off on a chilly note but a fine one

:53:30.:53:33.

with some sunshine and then this rain edges in from the south-west,

:53:34.:53:37.

pushing eastwards but it won't actually get over to the Easter

:53:38.:53:40.

until later in the day. The cloud ahead of it will certainly build.

:53:41.:53:48.

The weather charts are having another wee strop!

:53:49.:53:53.

STUDIO Sorry about your charts, they are

:53:54.:53:55.

upset! In the run up to this Wednesday's

:53:56.:54:04.

Budget, here on Breakfast we're looking at how Britain's

:54:05.:54:06.

economy is working for This morning we're

:54:07.:54:09.

focusing on Millennials - Steph is just outside Aberdeen

:54:10.:54:11.

with the young workforce What are they up to now, Steph? Look

:54:12.:54:21.

at that for breakfast! It smells gorgeous here, they have been so

:54:22.:54:25.

busy, making something like 1500 meals here today. These are some of

:54:26.:54:31.

the guys who have been with me this morning. This is a business that

:54:32.:54:36.

employs lots of young people, around a third of the staff here are under

:54:37.:54:40.

30. I want you to come and meet Hayden, who I have been harassing

:54:41.:54:43.

all morning! You've been working here three years and you're 19? Yes,

:54:44.:54:51.

in August it will be three-year 's yeah. You're in the middle of an

:54:52.:54:57.

apprenticeship? Is it going OK? It's going great. It's something I've

:54:58.:55:02.

always wanted to do. For you, what are the kind of pressures, what are

:55:03.:55:09.

you spending money on? I've got my card to pay for, rent for the flat.

:55:10.:55:13.

It all tallies up, at the end of the day. What would help you, things

:55:14.:55:20.

like your car insurance being cheaper and fuel? Yes, if insurance

:55:21.:55:27.

could be cheaper, rent, but it is Aberdeen and you know how the market

:55:28.:55:30.

is up in Aberdeen, it is extortionate. How is renting going?

:55:31.:55:37.

You are two months in, are you managing to cope without your mum?

:55:38.:55:43.

I'm managing to cope without her so far! He mentioned about housing

:55:44.:55:49.

costs and that is something many young people are worried about

:55:50.:55:52.

across the country and even getting onto the property ladder itself. We

:55:53.:55:57.

went to meet for friends in London to see what their thoughts were on

:55:58.:55:59.

it. Let us introduce the millennial 's.

:56:00.:56:11.

Hi, my name is Abi, I'm 24 and I'm a freelancer. My name is Takyiwa, I

:56:12.:56:21.

currently live with my parents and brother and sister. I live at home

:56:22.:56:28.

with my parents and sister. My name is Toby, I'm currently renting with

:56:29.:56:29.

four other people. You are finishing your education and

:56:30.:56:42.

making a start to your career. You've been most affected by the

:56:43.:56:45.

falling pay of recent years and you're struggling to get onto the

:56:46.:56:47.

housing ladder and suffering high rents as a result. And so it is with

:56:48.:56:55.

our millennial 's. Me and my sister currently share a room and we have

:56:56.:56:59.

been sharing a room all our life. Your 24? Yes. It's a bit like, it's

:57:00.:57:07.

time to go! It's just not going to happen. How does your mum feel about

:57:08.:57:14.

it? Until I'm kicked out, I'm probably going to have to stay

:57:15.:57:19.

there! None of the salaries come remotely close to the 6-figure

:57:20.:57:22.

salaries required to just rent here. Tony has managed to move out of home

:57:23.:57:27.

but only by moving out of the city. The aim for you is to own your own

:57:28.:57:33.

home? I think I'm like a lot of people my age, I could probably get

:57:34.:57:36.

a deposit eventually but it will take a long time. It's more concerns

:57:37.:57:42.

about stability. Economic stability. That is the big thing for me.

:57:43.:57:47.

Especially with Brexit as well. I want to see something coming out of

:57:48.:57:49.

the government that is going to reassure me. So what do they want

:57:50.:57:55.

from Wednesday's budget? House-building, economic security

:57:56.:58:01.

and Brexit. How are they going to pay for it? Go after tax dodgers.

:58:02.:58:08.

Support young people. Put young people first and make housing

:58:09.:58:13.

affordable. So, Mr Hammond, if you're watching, our millennial 's

:58:14.:58:18.

want housing, housing and housing. Add a new focus on a generation

:58:19.:58:25.

that, largely, feels left out. With me now is Adam, who is from Shelter

:58:26.:58:31.

Scotland. We're talking about the pressure on young people with

:58:32.:58:33.

housing. What could the Chancellor do to help? I think the key thing is

:58:34.:58:39.

invest in delivering genuinely affordable homes for everyone. We

:58:40.:58:43.

know it can be done, it has been done in the past before and we know

:58:44.:58:47.

the cost to young people of not having their own homes is putting

:58:48.:58:50.

key parts of their lives on hold right now. Building more homes?

:58:51.:59:01.

Absolutely, supporting landlords to build homes of a range of types

:59:02.:59:07.

where people want to live. What would you say are the other issues

:59:08.:59:13.

that young people face? We had Aidan talking about courage Shorrocks at

:59:14.:59:17.

Reading. The cost of living and wages not being at that level

:59:18.:59:21.

Douzable the cost of living. There's also the issue of intergenerational

:59:22.:59:26.

fairness. We've seen a lot of spending on state pensions and

:59:27.:59:30.

Philip Hammond is committed to the so-called triple lock which

:59:31.:59:33.

guarantees the state pension at a pretty generous level and he said he

:59:34.:59:37.

will guarantee it for the life of this Parliament, but I wonder

:59:38.:59:40.

whether that needs to be rethought so that we make the budget there. If

:59:41.:59:46.

you're taking money away from the pension end of things, what would

:59:47.:59:51.

you do for young people? I think it would make it more fair in terms of

:59:52.:59:55.

young people inevitably having a much smaller state pension in the

:59:56.:59:58.

future, so I think they will be looking at those retiring today on a

:59:59.:00:01.

pretty generous state pension and saying, why are we funding that when

:00:02.:00:06.

we will perhaps to take a bigger cut in the future? I will be talking to

:00:07.:00:12.

some pensioners about that soon. Stephen, just tell is a bit about

:00:13.:00:16.

the macroeconomic picture because everybody wants something and

:00:17.:00:17.

whether that money come from? The economy is in decent enough

:00:18.:00:26.

shape. I think one of the things we will hear from the Chancellor

:00:27.:00:29.

tomorrow is there is a huge amount of uncertainty about just what will

:00:30.:00:33.

happen as we go through the process of leaving the European Union, and

:00:34.:00:36.

there are a lot of people who are concerned that the growth of the

:00:37.:00:41.

economy will slow down, the wages will not grow as fast. That is a big

:00:42.:00:45.

cautionary note for the Chancellor. And in Scotland there is a different

:00:46.:00:56.

deal in terms of budgets. What kind of deal to think -- difference does

:00:57.:00:59.

that make? Scotland set the budget a few weeks ago and that included

:01:00.:01:01.

positions about income tax. Scotland has a degree of autonomy but what

:01:02.:01:06.

Philip Hammond does on Wednesday is hugely important. He sets income tax

:01:07.:01:10.

rates and decides what will happen with corporation tax and VAT. What

:01:11.:01:14.

the government spends in the UK as a whole has knock-on effects for

:01:15.:01:18.

Scotland so it still matters here hugely. Thank you for your time this

:01:19.:01:23.

morning. We are in the right place for Brexit. I have to finish my

:01:24.:01:27.

stew. I have to say it smells delicious. We have all been staring

:01:28.:01:31.

at it all morning watching it cooking and wondering when are we

:01:32.:01:37.

going to get a bowl of this? See you later. Bring some in! When

:01:38.:01:41.

it is that huge it does not look that good but I am sure it will

:01:42.:01:43.

taste nice. Just some of the places you normally

:01:44.:01:45.

associate with Rugby League. Well now you can add in Toronto

:01:46.:01:49.

after the sport's first transatlantic team has made

:01:50.:01:52.

a successful start to its debut The Toronto Wolfpack

:01:53.:01:55.

is the brainchild of Eric Perez who joins us on the sofa this

:01:56.:02:01.

morning but before we talk to him, Now let's talk to Eric Perez,

:02:02.:02:04.

the founder of Toronto Wolfpack. So how did this idea even come

:02:05.:02:54.

about? Well, I was in Birmingham watching telly and I saw rugby

:02:55.:02:57.

league. Blown away by it. I just thought, why is this sport not in

:02:58.:03:02.

Canada so I decided to sail the seas of consequence and make it happen.

:03:03.:03:09.

How long ago was that? 2010. Said that quickly you have put the team

:03:10.:03:14.

together. It has been a whirlwind. Did anyone play rugby league in

:03:15.:03:22.

Canada? No, I brought rugby League Two Canada. We started a national

:03:23.:03:28.

team and started attracting 6000 7000 people a match. There was a

:03:29.:03:34.

television show and that culminated in getting this professional team

:03:35.:03:38.

started. What was it when you saw that in Birmingham that made you

:03:39.:03:42.

think, I have to get a hold on this? It is the most Canadian game which

:03:43.:03:52.

has never been in Canada. It has speed, finesse, hard-hitting, a

:03:53.:03:55.

bitter fighting once in awhile. That is what we like in Canada! We like

:03:56.:04:00.

action and skills. Is it taught in schools now as well? Yes, we are

:04:01.:04:04.

getting it in schools. It is inspired from the top level down.

:04:05.:04:08.

That is how things work in North America. If you have a strong

:04:09.:04:13.

professional game it inspires kids to get involved. Starting it in

:04:14.:04:21.

Canada is one thing, then to bring a team over here and start playing in

:04:22.:04:25.

domestic rugby and work towards Super League, that is completely

:04:26.:04:29.

different? Yes, it is the first transatlantic professional team. It

:04:30.:04:33.

is quite a heavy undertaking to say the least. Teams will be flying over

:04:34.:04:37.

to play in Toronto. It is something new, something exciting and

:04:38.:04:40.

different. We are looking forward to it. So when it is a home game the

:04:41.:04:45.

English teams have to play in Toronto?

:04:46.:04:54.

That is right. What fun! But some other players have been saying it is

:04:55.:04:57.

a long way to go and at the level you are playing at the moment most

:04:58.:05:00.

of the players are part-time so they might have to miss out on work at?

:05:01.:05:04.

In League 1, for sure. We are fully funding the operations will not cost

:05:05.:05:09.

the club is a penny to come over. And a free trip to Canada for a

:05:10.:05:12.

couple of days I think it is worth taking those couple of days off

:05:13.:05:16.

work. What is the ambition here? The ambition is to get to the Super

:05:17.:05:20.

League. The ambition is to walk out at Old Trafford, with the Toronto

:05:21.:05:24.

team, take the silverware home to Toronto and then in five or ten

:05:25.:05:28.

years have two or three more Canadian teams. You are incredibly

:05:29.:05:33.

driven, you have a five or ten year plan to win Super League?

:05:34.:05:38.

Absolutely. I think we can do it. We have Brian Noble, the BBC's own

:05:39.:05:43.

Brian Noble as the director of rugby, we have Paul Rowley who was

:05:44.:05:48.

the coach of the year, great coaching staff, fantastic players

:05:49.:05:57.

stop. That player scored his first ever career hat-trick against

:05:58.:06:01.

Scotland this weekend so that is pretty good. I bet he's good at a

:06:02.:06:06.

bit of biff? I would not want to cross in a dark alley, put it that.

:06:07.:06:13.

Maybe we will have you back in a few years' time when you have won the

:06:14.:06:16.

Super League. I will bring the trophy! Lets get some news, travel

:06:17.:06:20.

and weather. And Hello and welcome back. Thank you

:06:21.:08:04.

for watching. Imagine being put on trial for

:08:05.:08:07.

a serious crime you didn't commit. Well, that's what happened

:08:08.:08:11.

to our next guest, He spent nearly two years

:08:12.:08:13.

fighting to clear his name after he was wrongly accused

:08:14.:08:16.

of offences against children. He's now calling for changes

:08:17.:08:19.

to the way these cases are handled. I'm delighted to say he joins us now

:08:20.:08:28.

in the studio. Obviously, we need a bit of background on this. When did

:08:29.:08:31.

those allegations against you come out and how has it affected you over

:08:32.:08:37.

the years? When you say allegations, first of all the allegation was that

:08:38.:08:43.

after ADP lesson, I checked to see that this child who was 11 at the

:08:44.:08:48.

time, I checked to see that he was dry inappropriately -- after a PE

:08:49.:08:54.

lesson. That was the basis of it all. The very first thing I said

:08:55.:08:59.

when I was arrested is I have never taught a single lesson of PE in my

:09:00.:09:05.

career, secondly, I do not teach 11-year-olds. So in both counts I

:09:06.:09:09.

put doubt in the mind presumably of the officers in charge. What I would

:09:10.:09:18.

say is, I don't know why those two main facts were not checked before

:09:19.:09:21.

my homes were raided. Once that happens, and my name was published,

:09:22.:09:26.

in the media, radio, television, your life is never the same ever

:09:27.:09:33.

again. Once the cat is out of the bag, you cannot grab hold of the cat

:09:34.:09:37.

and stick it back in the bag. The cat is away and it will be free

:09:38.:09:41.

forever. My name was put into the public arena and I can only suppose

:09:42.:09:48.

hardly any investigative work had been done beforehand, because basic

:09:49.:09:51.

checks would have told the arresting officers that there is serious doubt

:09:52.:09:57.

about these allegations. And what then followed, I am shortening this,

:09:58.:10:06.

it was nearly two years? 672 days on bail. And went to a jury. They went

:10:07.:10:13.

out and came straight back in again. There was nothing to discuss. The

:10:14.:10:16.

fact of the matter is during the course of the trial which I think

:10:17.:10:21.

for anybody with an IQ above the day's temperature, would come across

:10:22.:10:24.

as an absolute farce. But the person and his best friend who came forward

:10:25.:10:30.

to give evidence, it was so ludicrous. It was ridiculous. What I

:10:31.:10:34.

am saying is, look, just because someone is found not guilty in a

:10:35.:10:37.

court of law does not mean to say they are not guilty. With that, we

:10:38.:10:43.

have enormous problems, there is a whole industry of child abuse

:10:44.:10:48.

happening as we speak. This is not an apology for child abusers. And I

:10:49.:10:54.

think of course the police have to be absolutely thorough when

:10:55.:10:58.

investigating any complaints. But if a jury goes out and come straight

:10:59.:11:03.

back in again, then I think there should be some sort of mechanism

:11:04.:11:09.

whereby the complainant's complaints I looked into. As far as I am

:11:10.:11:13.

concerned, the person and his friend who lied about me have slumped back

:11:14.:11:22.

with impunity... Because they had anonymity. No one knows their name.

:11:23.:11:26.

They have not been arrested or questioned. I know they lied and I

:11:27.:11:29.

don't know why something has not been done about it. The whole danger

:11:30.:11:34.

about talking about this is of course there are many people who are

:11:35.:11:40.

victims out there... I have just said that. Exactly. And they come

:11:41.:11:45.

under a lot of pressure to report it and no one wants to put them off, do

:11:46.:11:50.

they? But if you are telling the truth, I can tell you now, this is a

:11:51.:11:57.

particular type of crime. Nobody who is guilty of child abuse, even if it

:11:58.:12:02.

is historical has a hope in hell of getting away with it. The court

:12:03.:12:06.

system is rigorous. I went through it. And if I was guilty of the

:12:07.:12:10.

allegations that were put at my door, there is absolutely no doubt I

:12:11.:12:15.

would be found guilty. Have I been found not guilty because the jury

:12:16.:12:18.

were not sure, I am not suggesting that just because someone complains

:12:19.:12:31.

and the person they have complained about is found not guilty, that they

:12:32.:12:34.

should then be investigated. What I'm saying is there are certain

:12:35.:12:36.

cases, as was my own, where it is patent new lives. If someone has

:12:37.:12:39.

been abused, you have nothing to worry about. I am not trying to push

:12:40.:12:42.

you back in the shadows. What I am saying is people who lie about these

:12:43.:12:45.

things are damaging the cases of those who have been genuinely

:12:46.:12:50.

abused. Briefly, once those cases reach court they are public record,

:12:51.:12:56.

there cannot be anonymity? There is anonymity for the person who accused

:12:57.:13:00.

me, why can it not be anonymity for me? Once you found guilty then your

:13:01.:13:06.

name is put out in the public arena just like Rolf Harris. I attended

:13:07.:13:09.

his trial a few weeks ago at Southwark Crown Court. People came

:13:10.:13:13.

forward after Rolf Harris had been found guilty. Just supposing I had

:13:14.:13:20.

been called Mr Almagro A, then others would come forward if I was

:13:21.:13:27.

found guilty. But I have to say once your house has been raided, and your

:13:28.:13:32.

name is put into the public forum, your life is ruined. -- if my name

:13:33.:13:39.

was Mr A. And my collateral damage in this? We are running out of time

:13:40.:13:44.

but thank you for talking to us and his book is called Presumed Guilty.

:13:45.:13:47.

We're both back tomorrow from six o'clock.

:13:48.:13:51.
