Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she was "thrown under | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
A draft independent report - leaked to the Daily Mail - | :00:11. | :00:18. | |
criticises what it calls the dysfunctional and inept | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
All I want is the truth to be out there, because it is the truth and | :00:21. | :00:30. | |
that is what people should know. The United Nations warns | :00:31. | :00:41. | |
that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945 | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
as millions of people face starvation and famine | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts - | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
is to be made illegal with law We'll meet the Syrian refugee | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
who escaped the war and is now And in sport, Wales knock down | :01:00. | :01:07. | |
Ireland's hopes of winning the Six Nations as George North | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
hands England the chance to retain their crown today, | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
if they can beat Scotland. Good morning. A cloudy start right | :01:20. | :01:35. | |
across the country, but a mild day. We will have some sunshine today, at | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
the top and tail of the country. I'll have all the details coming up. | :01:41. | :01:41. | |
The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport. | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
A leaked report published in the Daily Mail claims | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
British Cycling "sanitised" its own inquiry into the claims. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
The Olympian told the BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Representing Great Britain, Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner who | :01:59. | :02:14. | |
became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations of sexism last | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
year plunged British Cycling into crisis. It has been really hard. I | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
have been really low. Nothing has been in control, everything has been | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
out of my control. I had nobody to turn to within the organisation. I | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
was just sort of left on my own. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped a | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year, was found to | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
have used sexist language towards her, it was cleared of eight of nine | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
allegations against her. He resigned, but denies wrongdoing. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
According to a draft report of an investigation leaked to the Daily | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Mail, findings of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
reversed by the richest cycling's board. -- British Cycling's board. I | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
am relieved that the truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
to post just to get this, and to see that it was a cover-up is huge. In a | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
statement, British Cycling admitted it did not pay sufficient care and | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
attention to the well-being of staff, but it said that reforms were | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
under way. Those people who say it is sour grapes because you are not | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
selected for Rio, you will have heard this argument is, what is your | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
response to that? When people say it is bitterness, that is all they have | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
to say about me. If people knew me and saw what I was doing with my | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
life and how I have turned things around, they would know the truth. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
They would know that I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work in | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
cycling coaching again? From my experiences, no. Varnish says she is | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
now considering whether to sue British Cycling for unfettered | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
isthmus. Her fight for justice continues. -- unfair dismissal. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Later, we'll be discussing this with Commonwealth champion and team | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
The world is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945, | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
with more than 20 million people at risk of starvation and famine. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
That's according to the United Nation's humanitarian chief | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded for help for people in Yemen, | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
A child called Fatima. She lives in Yemen, where two thirds of the | :04:09. | :04:29. | |
population need food aid, and 7 billion hungry. The United Nations | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
has been told the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
for the organisation since it was founded in 1945. We stand at a | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
critical point in our history. Already, at the beginning of the | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
year, we are facing the largest Unitarian crisis since the creation | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
of the United Nations. -- humanitarian crisis. Now, more than | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
20 million people across four countries face starvation and | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
famine. In South Sudan, more than 1 million children are acutely | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
malnourished, and there is a cholera outbreak to deal with. The UN says | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
billions of dollars is needed from the international community to feed | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the hungry, but so far only a fraction of that money has got | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
through. The overall requirement for South Sudan this year stands at 1.6 | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
early in dollars -- $1.6 billion. As of now, we have received 9.3% of | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
that amount, and more funding is urgently needed. Some food aid is | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
being delivered. The United Nations says famine can be averted, but the | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
world needs to dig deep into its pockets, right now. | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
Pope Francis has said the Catholic Church should consider | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
allowing married men to become priests. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
Speaking to a German newspaper, he said lifting the ban on married | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
men being ordained would only apply in specific circumstances, | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
like remote areas of the world where priests are in short supply. | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
Police say a prisoner who climbed onto a roof | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset before taking his clothes off | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
and starting a fire, has been brought back | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
The blaze is understood to have caused extensive damage | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
The inmate, who was protesting about changes to the prison regime, | :06:12. | :06:18. | |
Protests in South Korea have left two people dead and dozens more | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
injured after thousands took to the streets following the removal | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
Park Guen-hye was ousted from office yesterday | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
Steve Evans joins us live from the capital. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
We have seen these clashes and many, many protesters. What is happening | :06:36. | :06:58. | |
now? This is a pro- park protest. -- pro-Park. A group like this that | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
make INAUDIBLE. Just beyond... INAUDIBLE. Steve, I think we will | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
have to stop you why we sort out your microphone. Obviously a couple | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
of technical problems with the sound there in South Korea. We will get | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
that sorted and returned to Steve shortly. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
A federal judge in the United States has refused to issue an emergency | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
order to halt President Trump's revised travel ban. | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
It follows an an attempt by Washington state | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
to have the new restrictions put on hold. | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
The President dismissed Judge James Robart as a "so-called | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
judge" when he ruled against his first attempt | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
to restrict travel to the US from seven predominantely | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
He has not yet ruled on the new restrictions. | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Online touts who bulk buy tickets and sell them for inflated prices | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
will face unlimited fines under government plans. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
An amendment to the Digital Economy Bill means it will be illegal to use | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
bots to bypass limits on the maximum amount of tickets that can be | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
Tickets to see some of our favourite artist can sell out in just a matter | :07:56. | :08:16. | |
of minutes. -- artists. But thousands of those tickets will not | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
be going to fans. Instead, they are being purchased by bots. Used by | :08:20. | :08:28. | |
professional touts, the software can grab hundreds of tickets in one go. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
Within hours, they end up on secondary websites for hundreds if | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
not thousands of pounds more than face value. This is currently legal, | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
but now the government is taking action. Now touts to use this | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
software will face unlimited fines, while resale sites will face harsher | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
measures if they do not prove they are taking action to deal with the | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
touts. It is hoped these measures will curb the growing power of | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
secondary websites and make it easier for genuine fans to get their | :08:57. | :08:58. | |
hands on a reasonably priced ticket. Experts have revealed | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
that the author Jane Austen was virtually blind towards the end | :09:02. | :09:03. | |
of her life, possibly Tests on her glasses show that | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
medicine she had been taking could have contained arsenic, | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
which may have contributed For one of history's greatest | :09:12. | :09:29. | |
writers, just reading her own novels would have been very difficult | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
without these. Jane Austen's spectacles have been at the British | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
library for 20 years, but only now can they bring focus to her life. | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Back in the early 19th century there were prescriptions, similar to what | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
we have today. So what we did was have somebody bring in a portable | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
lends me to so we could very, very carefully haven't examined. -- | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
lensmeter. Austen was longsighted. First there are low perception, but | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
her eyesight deteriorated. The final pair revealed that she would have | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
had great trouble reading and writing. This could help reveal the | :10:07. | :10:09. | |
mystery of why she died so young. The possibility of her being | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
poisoned accidentally with a heavy metal such as arsenic. We know now | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
that arsenic poisoning can cause cataracts. Arsenic was often put | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
into medication rather types of illness, so potentially for | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
rheumatism, which Jane Austen suffered from. Using modern | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
optometry, we are able to see just what Jane Austen's eyesight would | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
have been like. That is 475. I cannot see your face at all. I can | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
only see my hand when it is about there so that is what she needed, to | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
correct her vision. The British library wants optometrists to get in | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
touch and offer their professional opinions. A rare chance to see | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
things through the eyes of one of our best loved authors. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
Archaeologists in Egypt have found a huge statue in a Cairo slum | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
which is thought to be of Pharaoh Ramses II, | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
one of the country's most famous ancient rulers. | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
The head and torso of the 26-feet high statue were found submerged | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
in mud and groundwater in the east of the city. | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
Known as Ramses The Great, the pharaoh lived more than 3,000 | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
years ago and is credited with massively expanding | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Extraordinary. Should they really be using construction equipment next to | :11:14. | :11:29. | |
something quite so precious? Something more delicate, maybe. Yes. | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
A specialist nanny has been called in to help look after three Malayan | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
Blakey is a 6-year-old male Australian shepherd. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
According to keepers at Cincinatti Zoo he provides | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
warmth and a climbable body to the cubs after their mother | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
He also helps with their behaviour by checking them when they get too | :11:47. | :11:54. | |
A climbable body, it does what it says on the tin. -- climbable. I am | :11:55. | :12:09. | |
assuming that is what little baby tiger cubs need to do, climb on | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
somebody. Well, whatever works. In childcare, whatever works. That is | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
the rule, isn't it? Time for a quick look through some of the front | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
pages. On the front page of the times, we are talking once again | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
about grammar schools. All existing grammar schools will be forced to | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
offer 11 or plus pass marks to children. They looked about schools | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
this week, of course. Many stories emerging and the possibility of | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
there being more grammar schools as part of the government's shakeup of | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
education. The Daily Mail has more on the budget. They are saying that | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
many people, according to them, may have to take out a loan to pay fees | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
after a relative dies, in order to administer a dead person's estate. | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
Charities, law groups and campaigners say that the new charges | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
are excessive and unjustified. Lastly, on the front page of the | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
Daily Telegraph this morning, Tories no longer the low tax party. This | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
follows on from the budget, of course. Many complaints from the | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
self employed over the changes to national insurance. Conservatives | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
are no longer seen as the party of low taxation. This follows Philip | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Hammond's budget. We will be talking more about that later on, with a | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
full review of the papers coming up later this morning. A very striking | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
picture of Yuri Geller there. -- Uri Geller. He was brought onto a David | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Dimbleby chatshow, apparently, under secret, hush-hush circumstances. He | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
has links with MI5 and other suggestions. Well, if you can bend | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
spoons you can put in much do anything. It is 6:13am. The main | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
stories: cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
thrown under the bus after making allegations of sexism in the sport. | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
The United Nations says the world is facing its biggest humanitarian | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people in Yemen, Somalia, | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
South Sudan and Nigeria at risk of famine. Also coming up on the | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
programme this morning, the cup back click team are checking out a | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
pollution monitoring device with a difference, at high-tech drone which | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
can dive in and out of the water. -- the Click team. | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
but have a look at the weekend weather forecast. I have some words | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
that go with this picture, but this tells the | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
It will be mostly dry and if you are out and about it will be mild in the | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
south-east. Let's try to put some detail on the story. There is some | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
rain around and some of it will be heavy for a tiny north-west | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
Scotland, but the weather front will continue to drift slowly southwards | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
and as it does it will weaken off and push towards the borders by | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
lunch. Behind it already starting to dry up. 9am, outbreaks of rain in | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
Northern Ireland. Cloud driven north of England, into Wales and the | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
Midlands. Temperatures about 9- ten as an overnight minimum, so they | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
will start to respond promptly. Through the day the weather front | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
thinks southwards out of the Scottish Borders and into England. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Drizzly rain break them. Behind it some hill fog into southern Scotland | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
and some glimpses of sunshine in the far north. We could have sunshine | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
developing in the south-east. If that happens it will be hazy | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
sunshine. Temperatures responding. 17 degrees. Perfect playing | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
conditions for both of the Six Nations rugby matches through this | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
afternoon. Lots of dry and sunny weather around, especially for the | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Italy match. Overnight make the most of today because it is all change | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
tomorrow. Patchy rain spreading across the country. Another weather | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
front waiting in the wings. This will push its way in as we go | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
through Sunday. A mild and wet start. Some of the rain is heavy at | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
times. A different day tomorrow if you are out and about. A soggy | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
affair. Slowly brightening up from the west. There will be sunshine by | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
the middle of the afternoon into the western fringes and Northern | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Ireland. Still relatively mild for this time of year, 10- 13 degrees. | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
Into Monday things quieten down. High pressure builds from the | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
south-west. Dry weather for the start of the new week. This weather | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
front will try to bring outbreaks of rain into the north-west as it bumps | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
into the high it will die out quickly. A cloudy start of the | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
working week, but dry. Any rain on Tuesday will be fairly light and | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
patchy. My advice, the most of today, because if you don't like the | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
rain it is coming tomorrow. I know you very kindly mentioned the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
rug is later this afternoon. How is looking for Twickenham? Not | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
bad, actually. Dry. Perfect conditions for playing rugby. I | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
suspect we kickers will be happy. -- the kickers. | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
Back with a summary of the news at 6:30am. Now, The Film Review. | :17:29. | :17:42. | |
Hello and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
To take us through this week's cinema releases is Mark Kermode. | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
We have Kong: Skull Island, which does what it says on the tin. | :17:54. | :18:13. | |
Love Island, a stylish dream, and we have Elle. | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Does the world need another King Kong film? | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Need is a strong word. But want. | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
It is the Land that Time Forgot meets Apocalypse Now. | :18:31. | :18:32. | |
John Goodman managed to persuade the US Army to escort him | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
to Skull Island, where he thinks something is going on. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
He says, if we don't get there first, somebody else will. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
They arrive and they start carpet bombing the island in order to shake | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
A massive ape starts swatting helicopters out of the sky. | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
I'm probably not meant to laugh, and my? | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
No, it does have a great sense of fun about it. | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
We have Sam Jackson, the soldier, who is not | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
John C Reilly, who has been there since World War II. | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
They are trying to get from one side of the island to the other and there | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
I've taken enough photos of mass graves to recognise one. | :19:17. | :19:35. | |
The crash site is just on the other side of this valley. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
We'll cross through and make it to the highest point west. | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
We need to be going to the north side right now. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
And you are welcome to do that, my man... | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
I love the comment that said it's jolly good fun as long | :19:50. | :20:04. | |
as you check your brain at the cloakroom. | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
I think actually it's smarter than that. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
The director made this lovely, small film called Kings of Summer | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
and very much like Gareth Edwards who went | :20:18. | :20:19. | |
He has managed to leave his fingerprints on it. | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
Yes, it is a huge monster franchise movie, but it's also got loads | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
and loads of very slight jokes in it. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
I think there are a couple of references to Cannibal Holocaust. | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
I like the fact that what he does is, he takes just enough liberties | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
with how far you can push the characters, | :20:48. | :20:49. | |
but also remembers that what people are there to see is the monsters. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
One of the things that is most rewarding is when you see King Kong, | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
who is like 100 feet tall, a really big Kong, we're not getting | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
the edit every quarter second that the Transformers movie did. | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Almost like there's genuine beauty in some of these shots. | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
The iconic image of King Kong rising up in front of the sun. | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
You can see how camera is swelling and we're not getting the stupid | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
fast edits that have made so much of this kind of cinema headache. | :21:21. | :21:28. | |
What you always get with this kind of movie is a battle | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
between the director and what they want, their | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
personal vision, and what the producers want. | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
I think he won more battles than he lost. | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
I liked the jukebox soundtrack and the other movies it references. | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
There were moments when I thought, wow, that is an impressive, | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
So I enjoyed it much more than I expected to and I don't thing | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
The Love Which, were you bored in that? | :22:01. | :22:20. | |
No, the best way of describing this, imagine All That Heaven Allows, | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
It's in an age where mobile phones exist yet it has this late 60s, | :22:24. | :22:31. | |
early 70s theme beyond the Valley of the dolls. | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
It's a white witch's spell all men fall under. | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
It's almost like a magical incantation and extraordinary | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
I mean, the strange thing about it, there's also a lof of Wicker Man | :22:44. | :22:56. | |
It is oddly sincere, in a way which you don't expect. | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
I went in thinking I would be watching a parody and it was so much | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
And I've met so many people who felt the same thing. | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
They thought, I'll go in and it will be camp and fun. | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
although it is all of those things as well. | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
Just looking at the pictures, I am a bit worried it is not camp enough! | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Although, interestingly, there is a strange sincerity | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
It is a very strange movie and I liked it very much. | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Now, the talking point of the week is Elle. | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
As a woman, I feel almost anxious about going to see it actually. | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
Yes, and I understand that and I feel anxious having seen it. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Basically, it can be read in many different ways | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
On the one hand it's a tale of sexual violence, | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
who made Showgirls, and has a track record | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
On the other it's a showcase for cinema's most fearless screen | :24:09. | :24:19. | |
She plays a businesswoman who is grotesquely attacked | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
at the beginning of the film and an almost | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
She doesn't go to the police, because as a child she was caught up | :24:26. | :24:34. | |
in the arrest of her monstrous father and was, in her mind betrayed | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
She is so watchable, but I don't know if I have the stomach. | :24:39. | :25:25. | |
It is almost as if the character becomes the author of the film. | :25:26. | :25:47. | |
It has been described as a black comedy, a social satire | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
It is all and yet none of these things. | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
What is extraordinary is that nobody else other than Huppert | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
They couldn't get the cast or the financing in America. | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
She went on to be nominated for an Oscar. | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
I think she's brilliant in this and almost everything she's in. | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
If it wasn't for the strength of her performance, if it wasn't | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
for the extraordinary way in which she just dominates | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
the screen, this would be a very different film. | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
That said, it is absolutely a film which is designed to wrong-foot you, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
which is designed to make you feel uncomfortable and awkward. | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
It has been interesting see the different ways | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
The best way to describe it is it's an Isabelle Huppert film. | :26:43. | :26:53. | |
Moonlight, it is back in the cinemas? | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
It is such a marvellous work, an absolute work of art and I love | :26:56. | :27:04. | |
Doctor Strange is basically what would you do with a superhero | :27:05. | :27:15. | |
movie if you make the kind of film Ken | :27:16. | :27:17. | |
Watching Doctor Strange, Benedict Cumberbatch | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
as a neurosurgeon that gets pulled into this strange world. | :27:23. | :27:30. | |
Sometimes you think, that's an outtake from | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
I love the hallucinogenic weirdness, but in cinemas, taking Logan | :27:33. | :27:42. | |
completely the other way, it's almost not a superhero movie. | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
Looking at Doctor Strange, it is a superhero movie and we can | :27:46. | :27:48. | |

forecast, but first at 6:29, a summary of this morning's main | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown | :29:29. | :29:31. | |
under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport. | :29:32. | :29:34. | |
A leaked report published in the Daily Mail claims | :29:35. | :29:37. | |
British Cycling "sanitised" its own inquiry into the claims. | :29:38. | :29:39. | |
The Olympian told the BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
You know, I've been pulled from pillar to post just to get this, and | :29:43. | :29:54. | |
to actually see it as a cover-up, is huge. Why do you think they did | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
that? To protect themselves and protect the look of British Cycling. | :30:00. | :30:05. | |
It is a lot easier for them to throw me under the bus rather than the | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
whole of Ricky cycling, and for the truth to come out. -- British | :30:10. | :30:11. | |

have spoken out about the issue. Experts have revealed | :32:01. | :32:07. | |
that the author, Jane Austen, was virtually blind towards the end | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
of her life, possibly Tests on her glasses show that | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
medicine she had been taking could've contained arsenic, | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
which may have contributed The cause of her death has been | :32:21. | :32:22. | |
the subject of much speculation. That is a bit mean come on to draw | :32:23. | :32:34. | |
glasses on her like that. Did you see that? I thought you were going | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
to say it was a bit mean to poison her with arsenic. They No, she was | :32:40. | :32:47. | |
taking that as medicine for her room at Isis. -- rheumatism. So, Wales | :32:48. | :32:55. | |
have restored their pride. But they are done. How about today? You have | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
the Ireland fans, the Welsh fans, the French fans, all cheering on | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
Scotland. It is up to Scotland to stop England now. | :33:05. | :33:05. | |
The Six Nations title is England's for the taking | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
It was an important night for the Welsh, who needed to bounce | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
back after 2 defeats, and George North was | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries, and after holding off | :33:19. | :33:20. | |
an Ireland fight back, Jamie Roberts rounded off the win | :33:21. | :33:23. | |
late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish | :33:24. | :33:27. | |
defending to make it 22-9 in the end in Cardiff. | :33:28. | :33:29. | |
We knew there was going to be a bit of action, and against one of the | :33:30. | :33:35. | |
best sides in world rugby, you have to play like that with or without | :33:36. | :33:42. | |
the ball. Very proud of the players, they deserve that. They have taken a | :33:43. | :33:47. | |
lot of stick, the coaches and the players alike, and we beat a very | :33:48. | :33:51. | |
good Irish side today, and I thought we beat them emphatically as well. | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
It is an incredible frustration because it means that we cannot win | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
the championship with one game to go against England, and it is still a | :34:02. | :34:08. | |
lot to play for. We managed to probably end the last run if | :34:09. | :34:11. | |
Scotland do not do it tomorrow, it will still be a great chance for us | :34:12. | :34:13. | |
next Saturday. France play Italy in the first | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
of today's Six Nations games and after that attention, | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
turns to the Calcutta Cup. Thanks to that Wales win, | :34:22. | :34:23. | |
England could pick up the title with victory, while Scotland can go | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
top, and claim pole position, if they can get a first win | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
at Twickenham in over 30 years. For England, Owen Farrell remains | :34:30. | :34:33. | |

kick-off to finalise their team, for what both coaches know will be | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
a hard fought game. We are just concentrating on | :34:41. | :34:51. | |
ourselves. You know, we have had a great two reparation. We had a | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
fantastic week at Oxford, we trained well. We have had two good days of | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
training here. We were really well prepared. We are looking forward to | :35:01. | :35:02. | |
playing an historic cup pickup. Neither Eddie Wright play in the | :35:03. | :35:09. | |
game. It will be about the players on the field that afternoon. The | :35:10. | :35:14. | |
players know they will have to be on their best performance on that day, | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
during that 80 minutes. They will have to string together a number of | :35:19. | :35:21. | |
excellent players in attack and defence. They will have to think | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
clearly to get them to start adapting to our play. They are a | :35:27. | :35:28. | |
very good team. Coverage of England vs Scotland | :35:29. | :35:29. | |

today, for Lincoln City. They're the first non-league side | :35:34. | :35:41. | |
in the quarter finals since 1914, and they've already beaten | :35:42. | :35:44. | |
teams from League One, the Championship and the Premier | :35:45. | :35:46. | |
League in this year's competition. Now they are hoping to do | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
what Bayern Munich did, and win at top four side Arsenal, | :35:50. | :35:52. | |
whatever the odds against them, and their manager Danny Cowley, | :35:53. | :35:55. | |
who a year ago was a PE teacher. It has been gradual steps for us. I | :35:56. | :36:06. | |
think that is always important whenever you are trying to make the | :36:07. | :36:09. | |
aggressions and move forward. And we are going to look forward to it. For | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
us, we have to have belief that we can win the game. We respect the | :36:15. | :36:19. | |
fact it might be one in a thousand, but if that is what the odds are, we | :36:20. | :36:21. | |
go there expecting it to be that. as Middlesbrough host | :36:22. | :36:26. | |

League is well and truly back on track, after they trounced Derby | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
3-0 on the south coast. Anthony Knockaert got | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
the Brighton party going, as the Seagulls moved level | :36:53. | :36:54. | |
on points with Newcastle, Crucially, they're nine clear | :36:55. | :36:56. | |
of Huddersfield in third. Derby have slipped to ten | :36:57. | :37:04. | |
points off the play-offs. British rider Simon Yates won | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
the sixth stage of cycling's The 24-year-old from Bury pulled | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
clear of the peloton on the penultimate climb - | :37:11. | :37:15. | |
and held on to win the stage, He moves up to 8th overall, | :37:16. | :37:18. | |
with two stages remaining. Johanna Konta has won | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
the battle of the Brits, at the Indian Wells | :37:23. | :37:29. | |
tournament in America. It's the first time Konta has | :37:30. | :37:31. | |
met her Fed Cup team-mate, Heather Watson in a WTA | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
tournament - Konta struggled at times in the hot California sun | :37:37. | :37:38. | |
but took the first set 6-4. The second set was easier for Konta, | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
frustrating for Watson. And there are now 97 places | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
between them in the world So Konta, the world number 11, | :37:45. | :37:47. | |
moves into round 3. In the men's draw Britain's Kyle | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
Edmund is into the second round. He beat Portugal's, | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
Gastao Elias 6-1, 6-3. Dan Evans made light work | :37:54. | :37:55. | |
of his first-round match against Dustin Brown, | :37:56. | :37:58. | |
winning 6-1 6-1. The British number three will now | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
face Kei Nishikori in round two. In last night's Super League, | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10, Albert Kelly was the star | :38:07. | :38:09. | |
with twoof Hull's three tries, while Marc Snayed | :38:10. | :38:14. | |
kicked 12 points too. Saints are now third from bottom, | :38:15. | :38:15. | |
with just one win from their first Great Britain's husband and wife | :38:16. | :38:34. | |
pairing, Chris and Gabby Adcock, I read to the semifinals once again at | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
the all England Badminton Championships. This is like the | :38:38. | :38:39. | |
Wimbledon of badminton and the pair beat the elliptic champions from | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
Indonesia coming from one set down. It is the second year in a row they | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
have reached the last format, and comes soon after GB Badminton had | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
its funding cut. We really didn't come out too great at all today. It | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
took us a full set, really, to get into the groove. A came out sharp | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
and controlling. Obviously without a good start to the second and then | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
they'd raked us back again. Slightly off plan, but a bit of a comeback | :39:05. | :39:09. | |
from 17- 19 in the second, in the third we really felt aggrieved and | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
we are happy to get through to number seven. They are into the | :39:13. | :39:15. | |
semifinals in Birmingham. Some sad news in the world of motorsport. He | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
is the only man to win the world Grand Prix and the World | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
Championships on a motorbike, and also in a car. Could this have been | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
pouring into John Surtees, who has died at 93. He started off as a | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
brilliant motorcyclist and dominated for much of the late 1950s. After | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
that, he moved on to four wheels and immediately established himself as a | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
leading figure, winning the Formula 1. That was for Ferrari, in 1964. | :39:38. | :39:44. | |
You can't imagine that happening today. Such a lovely man, we have | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
lost a true motorsport legend. Judd Trump is the first man into the | :39:49. | :39:55. | |
final of the speakers championship in Wales. The Bristolians beat Ali | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
Carter 6-4 in the first semi-final of the week and last night. Today | :40:00. | :40:07. | |

gives me came the first amputee jockey to win at a professional | :40:12. | :40:13. | |
racecourse in Britain. Well, yesterday, on-board his horse | :40:14. | :40:19. | |
Rathlin Rose, he did it again, this time at Sandown. I love winning. | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
Like anybody else. It is the most phenomenal sport. I loved my time in | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
the army, I got a buzz out of that. But this, you don't replicate days | :40:30. | :40:32. | |
like that very easily. You really don't. Quite a story, that, because | :40:33. | :40:37. | |
the biggest race was actually getting that racing licence, so he | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
could become the first amputee to race. He had to trek to the South | :40:42. | :40:45. | |
Pole with Prince Harry to prove he had what it takes. That would prove | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
it, wouldn't it? Today we have got a fantastic line-up of live guests | :40:51. | :40:54. | |
coming up from 7:30am, including, literally, sporting royalty. I'm not | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
talking about Dan Morgan. Very good. We will talk to you later on. For | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
refugees who have made the journey from Syria, creating a new life for | :41:05. | :41:08. | |
themselves in the UK can be very difficult. Imad Alarnab first made a | :41:09. | :41:17. | |
living repairing cars before his pasture is a -- past life as a chef | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
was discovered. Now he is bringing Syrian cuisine to London. | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
This is where Imad Alarnab feels most at home, making supper for 40. | :41:26. | :41:32. | |
Would you please try this? Hummus? Yes. For 15 years, Imad Alarnab ran | :41:33. | :41:39. | |
three restaurants in Damascus, until war broke out. I mean, our | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
restaurants are closed now, because of the war. We had to leave in 2015, | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
in July 20 15. Escaping for a safer life. You know, the hardest part was | :41:53. | :42:02. | |
leaving the family behind. And while Imad Alarnab had to leave his home | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
and his family, the cooking came with him. Three months, ten | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
countries, running, cycling, taking a train, a boat, before finally | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
arriving on the steps of a church in Calais. I was on the steps of the | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
church for 64 days. Sleeping there? Yes. So how did you get into the UK? | :42:22. | :42:32. | |
In the back of a lorry. Yes. So it wasn't easy at all. Once here, Imad | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
was given refugee status, which allowed him to work as a car | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
salesman. I met him and heard his story and it became very clear that | :42:45. | :42:48. | |
he was in London and trying to do everything he could to make ends | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
meet, and I heard he was selling cars, and I felt really sad knowing | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
that he had this huge passion for food but was selling cars. I just | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
knew that there was more that we could do as a community to help him | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
do something with that. I didn't really know what it would look like | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
or what it would feel like but I knew that within my group of friends | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
and within the broader network, there was something we could do to | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
help ring him back into the food scene. -- bring him back. With 36 | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
hours of operation, Syrian food comes to a pop-up restaurant in east | :43:19. | :43:23. | |
London. How was it received? It has been wonderful, the chicken in | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
particular was really good, really enjoyed it. The lamb, the lamb was | :43:27. | :43:31. | |
really good, really tender. The chicken is cooked to perfection, it | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
is a moist, which is hard when you cook chicken. He is a great chef! So | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
you have the lamb, chicken, please enjoy it. Thank you for coming for | :43:41. | :43:42. | |
the first time! Thank you. The time is just coming up to | :43:43. | :43:56. | |
6:44am. You are watching Actors from BBC News. -- Breakfast. | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
The main stories this morning: The cyclist Jess Varnish has told | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making | :44:06. | :44:08. | |
The United Nations says the world is facing its biggest humanitarian | :44:09. | :44:13. | |
crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people in Yemen, | :44:14. | :44:16. | |
Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria at risk of famine. | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
Also coming up in the programme: How do you greet your child at the end | :44:20. | :44:23. | |

discouraging the use of smartphones at the school gate. | :44:33. | :44:37. | |
Here's Louise with a look at this morning's weather. | :44:38. | :44:43. | |
It is an important day for Sport Today. | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
It is and I have an important sporting phrase, it's a tale of two | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
halves this weekend. Today is the better of the days. There is some | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
rain to come. Take a look. This is a Weather Watchers pick the ascent in | :45:00. | :45:05. | |
about half an hour ago. -- picture sent in. Quite a lot of fog on the | :45:06. | :45:09. | |
south coast. Hopefully it will break up. It is a cloudy and murky start. | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
Coastal and hill fog as well and also some rain around across the far | :45:15. | :45:19. | |
north-west of Scotland. That will sink steadily south towards the | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
borders as we go through the morning. An improvement eventually. | :45:23. | :45:27. | |
Light and drizzly bits and pieces through the early morning in | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
Northern Ireland. A fair amount of cloud through northern England, | :45:32. | :45:34. | |
towards the south-west, but already we have a bit of Brighton is pushing | :45:35. | :45:38. | |
through in the south-east corner. Now it isn't going to be blue sky | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
and sunshine. The cloud will be hazy and high up. But with some sunshine | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
we should get warmth, possibly the warmest day of the year so far. At | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
the same time the weather front weakens after this drizzly rain in | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
the north of England and north Wales. If you get the sunshine and | :45:57. | :46:01. | |
the warmth, 17, possibly 18 degrees. Perfect weather conditions for the | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
rug E. We are competing with the Italians and the weather is good in | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
Rome as well. -- rugby. It is also FA Cup day. The sixth round. Decent | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
weather around. Eagles broke might be cloudy, but the sunshine should | :46:16. | :46:23. | |
come out. -- Middlesbrough might be cloudy. Overnight, patchy outbreaks | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
of rain and a lot of cloud. The rain will pep up and at the same time we | :46:28. | :46:31. | |
have another weather front pushing in from the west. This is the tale | :46:32. | :46:35. | |
of two halves. A different day for Sunday. A lot of cloud and rain. It | :46:36. | :46:41. | |
will gradually push eastwards. So not a complete write-off. The | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
western fringes have some sunshine. The northern island, western | :46:48. | :46:50. | |
Scotland, a better afternoon. Still relatively mild, although fresher in | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
the south-east in comparison to the day. As we move out of Sunday and | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
into Monday we have a ridge of high-pressure moving across the | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
country, which basically means things quieten down. A cloudy start | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
to the working week. Showery rain into the far north and west for | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
Tuesday. That's how it is looking. I'll be back in half an hour. | :47:17. | :47:18. | |
Thanks, that's great. We'll be back with | :47:19. | :47:19. | |
the headlines at 7am. Now it's time for Click | :47:20. | :47:21. | |
with Spencer Kelly. This week is the BBC's | :47:22. | :47:45. | |
So I Can Breathe season, looking at ways to tackle air | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
pollution around the world. We are out on the streets of London | :47:49. | :47:50. | |
to test a new camera It has a particular sensitivity | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
to a range of gases which are invisible | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
to the human eye. The camera is supposed to be used | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
by experts who know what they're looking | :48:05. | :48:07. | |
for in the numbers and colours that they see and it's | :48:08. | :48:10. | |
really supposed to be used in industrial locations as well, | :48:11. | :48:13. | |
where you are looking for gas leaks. But, I must say, even | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
here I can see sprays coming from some of the exhaust | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
pipes through this camera Now, if you want to tackle air | :48:21. | :48:22. | |
pollution problems across a city, you have to know where | :48:23. | :48:38. | |
the pollution is coming from That is something that Mark Cieslak | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
has been investigating. Poor air quality, as | :48:42. | :48:49. | |
a result of pollution, poses a serious risk | :48:50. | :48:51. | |
to public health. The Global Burden of Disease data | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
now suggests that a lack of clean air is the third leading cause | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
of death in the world after high blood | :49:01. | :49:03. | |
pressure and smoking. But whether it triggers | :49:04. | :49:05. | |
allergies or asthma, understanding the exact challenges | :49:06. | :49:07. | |
pollution causes, The more precise the information is, | :49:08. | :49:09. | |
the better we can come up We can identify areas | :49:10. | :49:25. | |
where there are particular problems. Action to gather that even more | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
precise data about pollution is being taken on the other side | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
of the Atlantic, in Chicago. Because of Chicago's location | :49:33. | :49:35. | |
in the Midwest and the fact that it | :49:36. | :49:38. | |
is a large city, it is something of a transport hub | :49:39. | :49:47. | |
for road, rail and air travellers. All those different | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
types of vehicles don't do the city's air | :49:51. | :49:52. | |
quality any favours. Here, a system is being installed | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
which has been dubbed When it's completed it | :49:57. | :49:58. | |
will be a citywide network of sensors, or nodes, | :49:59. | :50:12. | |
fitted to lampposts and poles. It'll monitor an array | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
of different things, from traffic levels to local climate | :50:20. | :50:21. | |
as well as monitoring Eventually, all of the data | :50:22. | :50:23. | |
the Array gathers will be made available online | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
for anybody to use. We have come just outside of Chicago | :50:30. | :50:34. | |
to the Argonne National Laboratory. It's part of the US | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
Department of Energy and is the birthplace | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
of the Array of Things. The donor is really into air | :50:42. | :50:47. | |
quality, so they are really excited. Here, the team behind the array | :50:48. | :50:56. | |
continue to refine the sensor boxes and the technology they contain, | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
liaising with city officials and arranging the continued roll-out | :51:01. | :51:02. | |
of the network across the city. This is the guts, if you like, | :51:03. | :51:05. | |
of the Array of Things nodes. Which part here is | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
the air quality sensor? Each one here is a specific cell, | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
attuned to a specific This a ozone, this is | :51:15. | :51:23. | |
a sulphur dioxide sensor. Nitrogen dioxide sensor and there's | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
a token reducing gases. Installation of the array began | :51:27. | :51:33. | |
towards the end of 2016. By the end of 2018, 500 nodes | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
are planned for the network, spread across different | :51:37. | :51:40. | |
parts of the city. Charlie Catlett is the Array | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
of Things project lead. He took me on a whistlestop tour | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
of some of the city's So, Charlie, this is the site | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
of one of your first sensors, but this one will tell us | :51:51. | :51:56. | |
seven different gases, and so that means we can say, well, | :51:57. | :52:15. | |
this one is reading this gas particularly high and we know that | :52:16. | :52:18. | |
that that is associated The new ones that're putting in, | :52:19. | :52:21. | |
we have added a new sensor So what we can do with this particle | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
sensor is we can look at the very fine particles | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
that are measured The smaller particles | :52:31. | :52:32. | |
are the ones you can't see, but they're really | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
the most dangerous ones. They'll go straight | :52:37. | :52:38. | |
into your bloodstream. The larger ones are | :52:39. | :52:40. | |
what triggers allergies. So if you are somebody that's got | :52:41. | :52:42. | |
allergies related to asthma, you'd be able to use the data | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
from these nodes to look at pollen across the city and you might decide | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
to change your cycle route you take to school or work, based on maybe | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
where the pollen concentration Chicago is not alone when it comes | :52:55. | :52:57. | |
to pollution monitoring. For example, in London, | :52:58. | :53:04. | |
there's a system called Nowcast, which combines historical pollution | :53:05. | :53:06. | |
data with current pollution measurements to provide an hourly | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
update of pollution levels Array of Things nodes have been | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
installed in other US cities with one in Seattle and another | :53:12. | :53:25. | |
in Denver and there is interest in the system | :53:26. | :53:28. | |
internationally as well. The data generated by the Array | :53:29. | :53:30. | |
of Things will be used by researchers, scientists | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
and healthcare professionals to get a better picture of the effects | :53:34. | :53:36. | |
of poor air quality and pollution. But when it comes to turning this | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
information into action, Brennna Berman and Tom Schenk both | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
work for the city of Chicago and are figuring out how the Array | :53:45. | :53:52. | |
of Things can help the city We have pockets of increased rates | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
of asthma among our children that doctors have known about for quite | :53:57. | :54:02. | |
some time but they do not have a lot of information about why they happen | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
in certain areas of the city. The role of the Array of Things | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
is really to help us understand the patterns and issues with air | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
quality in Chicago at a detailed level, | :54:17. | :54:19. | |
because you can't fix a problem if you can't define | :54:20. | :54:21. | |
it and understand it. We might be thinking about how heavy | :54:22. | :54:23. | |
pollutant vehicles can The City of Chicago has installed | :54:24. | :54:26. | |
hundreds of miles of bike lanes, across the city of Chicago, | :54:27. | :54:33. | |
but there is some very clear research showing that | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
inhaling diesel fumes, especially by cyclists | :54:37. | :54:38. | |
as they are riding alongs traffic, So it really helps us picture | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
and take a good look at where those bike avenues | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
are and how that corresponds If you have a school or another sort | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
of vulnerable location very close to an area that has | :54:51. | :54:54. | |
increased air quality challenges, the data from the Array of Things | :54:55. | :54:58. | |
will give us the ability to define A good example here in Chicago | :54:59. | :55:01. | |
will actucally be the very quickly growing neighbourhood | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
on the west side. It has quickly evolved into one | :55:07. | :55:08. | |
of our trendiest residential But it is also crisscrossed by any | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
number of street level railroads. By looking at data, by using | :55:12. | :55:22. | |
data such as the Array of Things, we are going to be able to make thos | :55:23. | :55:26. | |
decisions more confidently and we are going to know that better | :55:27. | :55:29. | |
than in fact many other cities have the ability to know that, | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
because of the data that we look at. Here, the technology clearly has | :55:34. | :55:37. | |
a role to play in the fight But the big pollution-busting | :55:38. | :55:40. | |
powers lay with local Back in London, I'm checking out | :55:41. | :55:43. | |
a pollution monitoring device With this water tank, | :55:44. | :55:53. | |
they can launch their prototype. Oops, I knocked a thing | :55:54. | :56:02. | |
into your tank. They've even have | :56:03. | :56:09. | |
their own wind tunnel! Imperial College's AquaMAV | :56:10. | :56:11. | |
is a drone that can fly through the air, dive into the water | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
and then leap out again. All the while, gathering data | :56:17. | :56:26. | |
to give us a greater understanding of pollution levels | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
above and below the surface. The plan is to release a swarm | :56:31. | :56:32. | |
of them into an area of concern. This is our response to extreme | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
environments or post-disaster applications such as water sampling | :56:39. | :56:47. | |
in floods, or after toxic spills, or oil spills, | :56:48. | :56:50. | |
nuclear accidents or tsunamis. So there are different classes | :56:51. | :56:52. | |
of applications and capability to do sampling with an automated, | :56:53. | :56:56. | |
low-cost tool brings an enormous values compared to many other | :56:57. | :57:00. | |
methods such as the human going there with a full | :57:01. | :57:03. | |
protective suit. I was going to say, we have seen | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
a lot of aquatic robots and we have But it never occurred to me | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
that is quite difficult to get an underwater robot over great | :57:13. | :57:17. | |
distances quickly and, We're just going to dive it | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
in the water and then dive it out In some applications it's not even | :57:21. | :57:34. | |
accessible through the water, in floods or floating ice, | :57:35. | :57:41. | |
you may not get there via water. On the other side, an aerial beacon | :57:42. | :57:44. | |
may not be able to get the information that local | :57:45. | :57:48. | |
people need, so combining During a dive, the AquaMAV fills | :57:49. | :57:50. | |
with water and then by releasing carbon dioxide from its on-board gas | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
chamber it forces the water back out as a high-powered jet which thrusts | :57:55. | :57:58. | |
the drone back upwards, And then the wings unfold and it | :57:59. | :58:01. | |
comes out of the water and it beautifully becomes this | :58:02. | :58:07. | |
flying birdlike thing. You describe it in | :58:08. | :58:09. | |
such a romantic way. Now you know how romantic I am | :58:10. | :58:17. | |
and what I get excited about. There is a beauty that | :58:18. | :58:24. | |
has to be part of it, And elegance in nature makes | :58:25. | :58:26. | |
it effective as well. Having the folding wings might look | :58:27. | :58:30. | |
beautiful but for us it allows us to reduce the drag that it | :58:31. | :58:33. | |
would experience as it dives as well as protecting | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
the wings on impact. That's it for the short | :58:38. | :58:45. | |

See you then. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :59:03. | :59:52. | |
with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. The crisis in British Cycling - | :59:53. | :59:55. | |
Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC that | :59:56. | :59:58. | |
the board of must go. A draft independent report, | :59:59. | :00:01. | |
leaked to the Daily Mail, criticises what it calls | :00:02. | :00:03. | |
the dysfunctional and inept For me, all I want is the truth to | :00:04. | :00:19. | |
be out there, because it is the truth and that is what people should | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
know. Also ahead, the United Nations warns | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945 | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
as millions of people face starvation and famine | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts - | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
is to be made illegal with fine. We'll meet the Syrian refugee | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
who escaped the war and is now And in sport, Wales knock down | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Ireland's hopes of winning the Six Nations, as George North | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
hands England the chance to retain their crown today - | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
if they can beat Scotland. Good morning. It is a cloudy start | :01:05. | :01:22. | |
right across the country, but a mild one. We will have some sunshine | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
today at the top and tail of the country. I'll have all the details | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
coming up. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report published | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
in the Daily Mail claims British Cycling "sanitised" | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
its own inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed Representing Great Britain, | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
who became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
of sexism last year plunged Nothing has been in control, | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
everything has been out I had nobody to turn | :02:02. | :02:11. | |
to within the organisation. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year, | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
was found to have used sexist language towards her, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
but was cleared of eight of nine According to a draft report | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
of an investigation leaked to the Daily Mail, findings | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were reversed | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
by British Cycling's board. I am relieved that the | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
to post just to get this, and to see that it was | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
a cover-up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well-being | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
of staff, but it said that reforms Those people who say it is sour | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
grapes because you weren't selected for Rio, you will have | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
heard those arguments, When people say it's bitterness, | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
that's all they have If people knew me and saw | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
what I was doing with my life and how I have turned things around, | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
they would know the truth. They would know that | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
in cycling coaching again? Varnish says she is now | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
considering whether to sue British Cycling | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
for unfair dismissal. In just a few minutes we'll be | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
discussing this with Commonwealth champion and team manager | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
Rochelle Gilmore. The world is facing its biggest | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
at risk of starvation and famine. That's according to the United | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
Nation's humanitarian chief Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
for help for people in Yemen, She lives in Yemen, where two thirds | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
of the population need food aid, The United Nations has been told | :04:00. | :04:12. | |
the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
for the organisation We stand at a critical | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
point in our history. Already, at the beginning | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
of the year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
since the creation of the United Now, more than 20 million people | :04:29. | :04:42. | |
across four countries face In South Sudan, more than 1 million | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
children are acutely malnourished, and there is a cholera outbreak | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
to deal with as well. The UN says billions of dollars | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
are needed from the international community to feed the hungry, | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
but so far only a fraction of that The overall requirement | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
for South Sudan this year stands As of now, we have received | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
9.3% of that amount, The United Nations says | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep | :05:10. | :05:25. | |
into its pockets, right now. Pope Francis has said | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper, | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
where priests are in short supply. Protests in South Korea have left | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
two people dead and dozens more The blaze is understood to have | :05:54. | :06:05. | |
caused extensive damage to the building. The inmate, who is | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
protesting about changes to the prison regime, is said to have been | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
drunk. Protests in South Korea have left | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
two people dead and dozens more injured after thousands took | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
to the streets following the removal This is the scene live | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
in the capital now, Park Guen-hye was ousted | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
from office yesterday As you can see, those protests are | :06:22. | :06:36. | |
ongoing in the streets of Seoul this morning. | :06:37. | :06:37. | |
A judge who last month stopped President Trump from implementing | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
a controversial travel ban has said he needs more time before ruling | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
Washington State had tried to get the new proposals stopped, | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
but Judge James Robart said more papers needed to be filed before | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Online touts who bulk buy tickets and sell them for inflated prices | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
will face unlimited fines under government plans. | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
An amendment to the Digital Economy Bill means it will be illegal to use | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
bots to bypass limits on the maximum amount of tickets that can be | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Tickets to see some of our favourite artists can sell out in just | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
But thousands of those tickets will not be going to fans. | :07:17. | :07:31. | |
Instead, they're being purchased by bots. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Used by professional touts, the software can grab hundreds | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
Within hours, they end up on secondary websites for hundreds | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
if not thousands of pounds more than face value. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
This is currently legal, but now the government | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
Now touts who use this software will face unlimited fines, | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
while resale sites will face harsher measures if they do not prove | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
they are taking action to deal with the touts. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
It is hoped these measures will curb the growing power of secondary | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
websites and make it easier for genuine fans to get their hands | :08:04. | :08:06. | |
Archaeologists in Egypt have found a huge statue in a Cairo slum | :08:07. | :08:17. | |
which is thought to be of Pharaoh Ramses II | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
one of the country's most famous ancient rulers. | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
The head and torso of the 26 feet high statue were found submerged | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
in mud and groundwater in the east of the city. | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
Known as Ramses The Great, the pharaoh lived more than 3,000 | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
years ago and is credited with massively expanding | :08:32. | :08:33. | |
I am slightly nervous about that digger, though. Yes, if it is true, | :08:34. | :08:45. | |
it is an extraordinary discovery. A specialist nanny has been called | :08:46. | :08:47. | |

for us this morning. But now we know. We will have all the sport | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
coming up soon, and all the weather for the weekend. | :09:24. | :09:24. | |
Nearly a year since allegations of sexism first began to emerge - | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
a leaked draft report has this week delivered a damning indictment | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Now the original whistle-blower, Jess Varnish, has called | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
for the entire board to resign - accusing the organisation | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
It places the governing body back in the spotlight - | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
amid claims of bullying, favouritism and sexism. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
Let's discuss this now with Commonwealth Champion Rochelle | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Good morning. I know that you are in the yorker at the moment, thank you | :09:53. | :10:04. | |
for talking to us about this. -- in Majorca. As more details emerge | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
about what has been happening and what Jess, particularly, has been | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
saying about her time in the team, does this ring any bells with you? | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
How familiar a story is this? I think the story is touching for so | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
many people because so many women in the workplace and in professional | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
cycling and national federations of any sport have either witnessed or | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
experience themselves such behaviour from, you know, dominant males who | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
are in positions as coaches. It has been very difficult, obviously, for | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
me to hear. It is I have been an athlete and I have witnessed and | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
experienced similar types of treatment. -- because I have been. | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
It has been a very tough story to follow. What sort of thing have you | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
seen over the years? I guess most recently, when we refer to the | :10:56. | :10:58. | |
athletes that I have had on my team, which are British cyclists, they | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
have been very emotional and upset after communications from people | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
within British Cycling about their form or their condition or their | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
non- selection. The communication, I think, that they receive, is | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
harmful. It is causing them to be very emotional, and not enjoy their | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
sport. From my position, I am trying to encourage women to not let these | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
things affect them, because it is very difficult to stop a dominant | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
male from speaking to an athlete like that. My role has just been to | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
comfort them. They love what they do, they love their sport, they have | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
big roles, and to just focus on that. But it is a very difficult | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
situation and women's sport. Do you think that the management speak to | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
the women on the team in a different way to the way they talk to the men | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
on the team? Or do they talk to everybody the same way? Well, I have | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
actually been thinking about that, because I have not witnessed so much | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
British Cycling staff speaking to males. I am wondering if they do | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
speak the same way to the males as they do to the females, but the | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
males respond or react differently. Whether you are male or female, | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
every person, every individual, reacts differently to different | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
commute occasion in different ways. I think that perhaps females show | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
that emotion more and share it amongst their friends and fellow | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
teammates and staff members, rather than a male who may be hurt equally | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
as much by the way they have been spoken to, they may bottle it up | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
inside and deal with themselves rather than communicating their | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
emotions. Is it likely that a coach might say, I was just trying to get | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
the best out of her, I was just trying to push her? That is | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
obviously what we hear. I think there is some truth in the fact that | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
coaches, within British Cycling but also within every sport all around | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
the world, that their main objective is to get the best out of their | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
athletes, to get results for their nations, to get that athlete to | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
really get the best out of themselves. That means sometimes you | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
have to push athletes. The question is, do they need to be pushed | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
mentally and emotionally? Or is it enough to just be pushing them | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
physically, just advising them to do a bigger workload with their | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
physical activity. So I've think the big question that everybody is | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
asking, we love to win medals, everybody loves to see every athlete | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
at their absolute best when it comes to race day, but is it at the price | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
of being unhappy in your workplace, which you take home, and then, you | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
know, you have had this really great career of results, at how has the | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
quality of life being? Just finally, because we are running out of time, | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Jess Varnish has said she wants the whole board to go. She says that | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
simply has to happen in order for things to change. Is that something | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
that is likely to happen? Is that realistic? I think over a process of | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
time, if you give it a time of maybe one or two years to move people out | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
of positions and other people in, but surely there are some people | :14:07. | :14:13. | |
within British Cycling who are the good people within the organisation | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
who can bring the best out in other employees there and change the | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
culture. I think it is achievable to change all of the staff at British | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
Cycling, but whether it is completely necessary, I'm not sure. | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
I don't know every staff member at British Cycling. Rachelle, you team | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
manager. How on earth does British Cycling recover from this? I think | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
they need to be more transparent with everything. I think athletes | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
coming out and speaking about how they are being treated is a step in | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
the right direction, because the staff need to be more cautious with | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
the way they can indicate with their athletes. And the impact that it is | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
having on their emotions. I think being transparent across the whole | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
organisation, athletes feeling that they can speak out about being | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
mistreated or how they have responded to certain kinds of | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
treatments and communications. I think this is a step in the right | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
direction, and Jess has really got the ball rolling to clean up the | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
culture at British Cycling. Thank you. | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
A really fascinating insight into how the team my work and the changes | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
that might have to be made. You're watching | :15:23. | :15:23. | |
Breakfast from BBC News. Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
told the BBC that the entire board must go after a draft independent | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
report criticises the leadership The United Nations says the world | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
million people in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
and Nigeria at risk of famine. Here's Louise with a look | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
at this morning's weather. If you are glass half full kind of | :15:52. | :16:03. | |
person you might be happy with this headline, because certainly today | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
will be the better of the two days for most of us. A lot of cloud | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
around at the moment and some hill fog. Some coastal fog down the south | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
coast in particular. This one producing rain. Some of it heavy. It | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
will weaken off as it moves south. Already at 9pm we have a brightening | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
process into the far north of Scotland. We will get sunshine | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
later. The rain is light and drizzly through Northern Ireland. As it | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
pushes into the Scottish Borders there will be a lot of cloud in | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
northern England and why is. Poor visibility and coastal and hill fog. | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
Through the morning the cloud should break up and we will have sunshine | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
coming through to the south-east. If that happens you will get warmth. | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
Already overnight lows about 9- 11, so a mild start and we could see | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
temperatures as high as 17 degrees. Sunshine into the far north of | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
Scotland. Not as warm. For the Six Nations, perfect rugby playing. For | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
spectating, light winds. Dry and sunny weather coming through. | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
Similar for the FA Cup matches. You could be more cloud and some drizzle | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
through the second half of Middlesbrough - Man City. Overnight | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
that weather front is still there and it peps up. Quite a lot of cloud | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
and showery outbreaks of rain. Again, a murky night. Coastal and | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
hill fog. At the same time, another weather front waiting in the wings. | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
This is a contrast with tomorrow. It will be a wet start for many | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
tomorrow. Some of it will be heavy. It moves eastwards. A contrast in | :17:45. | :17:51. | |
east Anglia and the south-east. Cool and disappointing compared with | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
today. Behind it, sunshine in the western fringes. Here, we end the | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
day on a sunny note. It looks like conditions will quieten into | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
Tuesday. Dry weather as the high pressure builds again. Cloud will | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
come and go. Not much in the way of sunshine I suspect on Monday, but | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
not a bad day in prospect and it will be patchy by Tuesday. All in | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
all, enjoy today's weather review came as it will be soggy tomorrow. | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
Thanks very much. For 50 years the laws on abortion | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
have remained unchanged, meaning a woman must | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
have the consent of two doctors Under those rules a woman who takes | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
a pill at home could potentially Now a Labour MP is tabling a bill | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
to update the legislation, but pro-life critics say it | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
could pave the way for sex selective abortions and | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
terminations on demand. My first reaction was I don't want | :18:45. | :18:59. | |
to have a baby. Straightaway, how am I going to care for this being when | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
I can't even care for myself? Emily tells me why she had an abortion. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
She was broke, she had depression, she couldn't cope. She had to wait | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
one month for a termination. That was the worst month of my life. I | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
was googling ways to induce miscarriage and I think that in | :19:17. | :19:24. | |
itself proves it's too long. I could have really hurt myself in that | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
time. You could have faced a jail sentence? I don't have any words for | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
that. To punish a woman who is already in such an unstable and | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
vulnerable position. What do you think you are doing to that woman's | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
life? Just under 200,000 abortions were carried out in the UK in 2015, | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
most in rooms like this. The NHS as women should wait about two weeks, | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
but it can be more than twice that. Figures indicate these tablets used | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
to miscarry are increasingly being bought illegally online by women who | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
refuse to wait. Two doctors sign off every abortion. Now, this is unlike | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
any other medical procedure. But no other procedure in false ending a | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
life and that's what's key here, isn't it? We're in the 21st century. | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
We trust women to make decisions about their lives, about their | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
healthcare and abortion should be no different. But others say the delay | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
that comes with not one but two GPs is essential when deciding the fate | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
of not one but two macrolides. Many women go for that initial | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
consultation and by the time they come back they actually change their | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
minds will stop it is an important step in the process to make sure | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
women are making the right decision for them. Do you have any statistics | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
to back that argument up? We do know that about 30% of women who go for | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
initial consultations never go through with the process. The | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
difficulty with the termination is once you have done that, if it's a | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
rushed process, you can't change your mind. The office said this | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
latest figure had been given by a leading clinician. We could not find | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
any evidence of it. Abortion is an emotive subject. Why while the royal | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
college of midwives has backed the petition, another petition suggests | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
people fear it could pave the way for selective abortions on demand. | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
We didn't achieve what we believed women needed, which was choice. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Diana was a key figure calling for change in the 60s, just as she is | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
today. I was alone public voice, but I was not the only person who had | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
had an abortion. They were all there, the voices, but they were | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
unhurt and unfortunately they stayed unhurt. I am appalled. 50 years | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
later on, we are still fighting for this. This is the hate mail? Yes. | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
She shows me the hate mail her campaign attracted in one file. | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Letters for women who need for help in another. That fine line between | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
the rights of woman and the rights of an unborn child will be | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
scrutinised again on Monday. Yes, just to remind you, we will be | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
speaking to Diane Johnson, the Labour MP who was talking about the | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
possibility of changing the law in relation to abortion, a little bit | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
later this morning. Let's have a look at the papers. Starting with | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
The Daily Mail. They are still talking about the budget that | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
happened on Wednesday. They are talking about one particular aspect, | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
saying some people might now have to take a loan out to sort out death | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
duties after a loved one has died. Campaigners say new charges detailed | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
in Wednesday's budget are excessive and unjustified. | :22:53. | :22:59. | |
On the front page of the Guardian, legal care siesta. The food rights | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
campaigner who is celebrating her winning a libel action against Katie | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
Hopkins for comments made on Twitter. The main story is from | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Bernie Sanders, talking about Donald Trump. Trump is a pathological liar, | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
says Bernie Sanders. The front page of the Daily Mirror. | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
Lynn says Diana's form of luck says she visits him at night and talks to | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
him in his dreams. He goes on to say, she tells me things. It isn't | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
scary or flaky, it just happens. And we will have a full review of | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
the papers later. It is something most of us would | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
have done at some point. You get preoccupied, you are doing it and | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
you aren't paying attention, in this case to your children coming out of | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
school. By being distracted by your phone? | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
So you are standing there may be like this. Well, apparently one head | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
teacher thinks parents should greet their children with a smile, not | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
with their faces buried in a mobile at the end of the day. She has put | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
up signs around the school, the playground, asking parents to keep | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
their smartphones away. We've been asking some parents what they think. | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
I think it's appropriate, yes. When they come to be their kids up from | :24:19. | :24:26. | |
school, they should be here to do that and the talk to them about | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
their day, not to be chatting on their phones. I don't know what the | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
big fuss is about, really. It's a bit daft, really. I should imagine | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
there are a lot of schools that do it. When you are with children I | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
think it's better you keep your phone with you. We've got enough | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
rules anyway, with cars. You should be able to use them at school, you | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
know what I mean? It is your own free will to use your phone. | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
Let us know what you think. You can e-mail us and share your thoughts | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
with other viewers on our Facebook page. | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Of course you will have to look at your phone to do that! I think that | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
allowed on Saturday. It is a point worth making. Maybe if | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
you are with your kids you shouldn't be tweeting. | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
You absolutely shouldn't be, but what happens in lots of playground | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
is the parents get distracted by talking to each other! | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
Gossip. It might have happened. | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
For refugees who have made the journey from Syria, creating a new | :25:32. | :25:37. | |
life for themselves in the UK can be very difficult. | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
This couple first made their living repairing cars. Now he has brought a | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
taste of his own country to London. This is where this man feels most at | :25:47. | :25:59. | |
home, making supper for 40. DUP is have some? Hummus? Yes. For 15 years | :26:00. | :26:09. | |
he ran three restaurants in Damascus before war broke out. Our | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
restaurants are closed now because of the war and we have to live -- | :26:14. | :26:21. | |
leave in July, 2015. Escaping for a safer life. You know, the most hard | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
dot. Hard part was leaving your family behind. While Imad had to | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
leave his home and his family, the cooking came with him. Three months, | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
ten countries, running, cycling, taking a train, boat, before finally | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
arriving on the steps of the Church in Calais. I was on the steps of the | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
church for 64 days. Sleeping there? Yes. How did you get into the UK? In | :26:52. | :27:00. | |
the back of a lorry. Yes. So it wasn't easy at all. Once here, Imad | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
was given refugee status, which allowed him to work as a car | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
salesman. Imad invited me for supper at his house, I met him and heard | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
his story and it became clear that he was in London and trying to do | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
everything he could to make ends meet and I heard he was selling cars | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
and I felt really sad knowing that he had this huge passion for food | :27:25. | :27:28. | |
but was selling cars and knew that there was more we could do as a | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
community to help him do something with that. I didn't really know what | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
it would look like and what it would feel like, but I knew that within my | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
group of friends and our broader network there was something we could | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
do to help bring him back into the food scene. For 36 hours of | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
preparation, theory and food comes to a pop-up restaurant in East | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
London. But how is it received? It has been absolutely wonderful. The | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
chicken in particular was really, really good. Really enjoyed it. The | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
lamb, Elan was really good and tender. The chicken is cooked to | :27:59. | :28:04. | |
perfection. It is very moist. He is a great chef. We should be doing | :28:05. | :28:08. | |
this, right? You have the lamb, chicken and vegetarian? Yes, this | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
enjoyed and thank you for coming for the first time. Thank you. | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
He's known for bringing us the wonders of the animal kingdom | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
on TV, and now Sir David Attenborough can | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
add children's storyteller to his CV! | :28:28. | :28:29. | |
We'll hear how a whole new generation is set to be inspired | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
by some of his most famous adventures. | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :28:37. | :29:42. | |
Coming up before eight Louise will have a full weekend weather | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
But first at (timecheck), a summary of this morning's main | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown | :29:50. | :29:58. | |
under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport. | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
A leaked report published in the Daily Mail claims | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
British Cycling "sanitised" its own inquiry into the claims. | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
The Olympian told the BBC's Sports Editor Dan Roan she believed | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
You know, I've been pulled from pillar to post. | :30:10. | :30:14. | |
Just to get this, and to actually see it is a cover-up, is huge. | :30:15. | :30:20. | |
To protect themselves and protect the look of British Cycling. | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
It's a lot easier for them to throw me under the bus rather | :30:25. | :30:28. | |
than the whole of British Cycling, and for the truth to come out. | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
The world is facing its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945, | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
according to the United Nation's humanitarian chief. | :30:38. | :30:39. | |
Stephen O'Brien said more than 20 million people face the threat | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
of starvation and famine in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria. | :30:43. | :30:45. | |
Unicef has already warned 1.4 million children could starve this | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
Pope Francis said the Catholic Church should consider allowing | :30:49. | :31:05. | |
married men to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper he | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply in | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
specific circumstances, will lack at areas of the world where priests are | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
in short supply. -- circumstances, like remote areas. A prisoner who | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
climbed onto the roof of a prison in Dorset before taking off his clothes | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
and starting a fire has been brought back down to safety. The blaze | :31:29. | :31:31. | |
caused to the building. The prisoner, who was processing changes | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
to the prison regime, is said to have been drunk. Protests and South | :31:36. | :31:39. | |
Korea have left two people dead and dozens injured after thousands took | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
to the streets wallowing the removal of the country's resident. This is | :31:43. | :31:45. | |
the scene live in the capital now, where protests are still under way. | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
Park Geun-hye was ousted from office yesterday following a corruption | :31:52. | :31:52. | |
scandal. The judge who last month stopped | :31:53. | :31:59. | |
President Trump from implement in a controversial travel ban has said he | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
needs more time before ruling on a revised version. Washington state | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
tried to get the new proposals stopped, but judge James Robart said | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
more papers needed to be filed before he could make his decision. | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
Online touts or bulk buy tickets and sell them for unlimited prices will | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
face unlimited fines under government plans. An amended to the | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
Digital Economy Bill means it will be a legal to use software to buy | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
thousands of tickets. Music stars including Ed Shearer and have spoken | :32:29. | :32:34. | |
out about the issue. -- Ed Sheehan. Have you ever tried to buy a ticket | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
for a concert online? Really difficult, hovering there with your | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
mouse over the bottom. They sell out almost immediately. Sporting events | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
are the same. Yes, very stressful. All the time. The tension will be | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
even more so now for England and Scotland after Wales did them both a | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
favour. Effectively in today's match with England and Scotland, it is a | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
title decider, because it Scotland get their first win at Twickenham | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
since 1983, back when Michael Jackson was in the charts, with | :33:03. | :33:07. | |
Billie Jean... I thought you were about to say that Billie Jean was | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
playing. Well, they will be top, in pole position. But of course England | :33:12. | :33:14. | |
are chasing a record as well today. If they can beat Scotland they will | :33:15. | :33:18. | |
equal New Zealand's record of 18 test wins. Wales has done them both | :33:19. | :33:22. | |
their favour, because it means the Six Nations title is England's | :33:23. | :33:23. | |
taking today. -- for the taking. It was an important night | :33:24. | :33:32. | |
for the Welsh, who needed to bounce back after 2 defeats, | :33:33. | :33:35. | |
and George North was unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries, | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
and after holding off an Ireland fight back, Jamie Roberts rounded | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
off the win late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
defending to make it 22-9 in the end We knew there was going to be a bit | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
of action, and against one of the best sides in world rugby, | :33:50. | :33:53. | |
you have to play like that Very proud of the players, | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
they deserve that. They have taken a lot of stick, | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
the coaches and the players alike, and we beat a very good Irish side | :34:01. | :34:04. | |
today, and I thought we beat them It's an incredible frustration | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
because it means that we can't win the championship with one game | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
to go against England, We managed to probably | :34:12. | :34:14. | |
end the last run. If Scotland do not do it tomorrow, | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
it will still be a great chance The FA cup fairytale continues | :34:19. | :34:22. | |
today, for Lincoln City. We will be speaking to Kenny Logan, | :34:23. | :34:40. | |
who got 70 cups the Scotland, in a moment. -- caps for Scotland. | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
The FA cup fairytale continues today, for Lincoln City. | :34:44. | :34:46. | |
They're the first non-league side in the quarter finals since 1914, | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
and they've already beaten teams from League One, | :34:50. | :34:51. | |
the Championship and the Premier League in this year's competition. | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
Now they are hoping to do what Bayern Munich did, | :34:55. | :34:56. | |
and win at top four side Arsenal, whatever the odds against them, | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
and their manager Danny Cowley, who a year ago was a PE teacher. | :35:01. | :35:03. | |
I think that's always important whenever you're trying to make | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
And we are going to look forward to it. | :35:10. | :35:16. | |
For us, we have to have belief that we can win the game. | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
We respect the fact it might be one in a thousand, | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
but if that is what the odds are, we go there expecting to beat that. | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
And at 8:30am we will be hearing from the Lincoln chairman. | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
Also today, it's all Premier League, as Middlesbrough host | :35:33. | :35:34. | |
Manchester City at lunchtime, then tomorrow, League One Millwall | :35:35. | :35:36. | |
travel to Spurs, while on Monday, Chelsea at home to Manchester | :35:37. | :35:39. | |
In the Premier League, Bournemouth haven't won in 8 league | :35:40. | :35:42. | |
At the bottom Swansea play Hull City, who are second bottom. | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
Brighton's push for the Premier League is well and truly back | :35:51. | :35:54. | |
on track, after they trounced Derby 3-0 on the south coast. | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
Anthony Knockaert got the Brighton party going, | :36:00. | :36:02. | |
as the Seagulls moved level on points with Newcastle, | :36:03. | :36:05. | |
Crucially, they're nine clear of Huddersfield in third. | :36:06. | :36:10. | |
Derby have slipped to ten points off the play-offs. | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
Johanna Konta has won the battle of the Brits, | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
at the Indian Wells tournament in America. | :36:17. | :36:18. | |
It's the first time Konta has met her Fed Cup team-mate, | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
Heather Watson in a WTA tournament - Konta struggled at times in the hot | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
California sun but took the first set 6-4. | :36:25. | :36:26. | |
The second set was easier for Konta, frustrating for Watson. | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
And there are now 97 places between them in the world rankings. | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
So Konta, the world number 11, moves into round 3. | :36:34. | :36:35. | |
In the men's draw Britain's Kyle Edmund is into the second round. | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
He beat Portugal's, Gastao Elias 6-1, 6-3. | :36:39. | :36:40. | |
Dan Evans made light work of his first-round match | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
against Dustin Brown, winning 6-1 6-1. | :36:44. | :36:44. | |
The British number three will now face Kei Nishikori in round two. | :36:45. | :36:59. | |
In last night's Super League, Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10, | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
Albert Kelly was the star with twoof Hull's three tries, | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
while Marc Snayed kicked 12 points too. | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
Saints are now third from bottom, with just one win from their first | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
Great Britain's husband and wife pair, Chris and Gabby Adcock, | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
are into the semi-finals once again at the All-England Badminton | :37:21. | :37:23. | |
This is like the Wimbledon of badminton, and the pair beat | :37:24. | :37:26. | |
the Olympic champions from Indonesia, coming | :37:27. | :37:28. | |
It's the second year in a row they've reached the last four, | :37:29. | :37:37. | |
and comes soon after GB Badminton had its funding cut by UK Sport. | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
We really didn't come out too great at all today. | :37:41. | :37:43. | |
It took us a full set, really, to get into the groove. | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
Obviously without a good start to the second, | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
Slightly off plan, but a bit of a comeback from 17-19 | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
in the second, in the third we really felt a groove and we're | :37:56. | :37:59. | |
happy to get through to number seven. | :38:00. | :38:01. | |
He's the only man to win a Grand Prix World Championship | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
on a motorbike and then in a car, and tributes have been pouring | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
in for John Surtees, who's died at the age of 83. | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
He started off as a brilliant motorcyclist who dominated for much | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
Surtees then moved on to four wheels and immediately established himself | :38:14. | :38:22. | |
as a leading figure, winning the Formula One World Championship | :38:23. | :38:29. | |
Damon Hill has said what all of us feel, "Such a lovely man, | :38:30. | :38:33. | |
We have lost a true motorsport legend." | :38:34. | :38:36. | |
Judd Trump is the first man into the final of snooker's | :38:37. | :38:38. | |
The Bristolian beat Ali Carter 6-4 in the first semifinal | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
Let's go to back to our top story, England vs Scotland in the Six | :38:46. | :38:58. | |
One man who knows, just what it's like in the thick of this great | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
rivalry at Twickenham is former Scotland wing Kenny Logan, | :39:03. | :39:05. | |
I take it you are out in the garden, throwing a ball around already? Yes, | :39:06. | :39:17. | |
practising. Take us back to 1993, I think it was, your first memory of | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
coming on as a substitute and playing England at home. It makes | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
this fixture so special? Every time you play England it is special. Even | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
if Scotland have not been playing well or England have not been | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
playing well, a Scotland and England game has that bit of excitement | :39:34. | :39:37. | |
about it, the old rivalry. The interesting thing this week is that | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
everything is on the game. England have the Triple Crown, Grand Slams, | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
championships, records, they have all the pressure on them. What | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
Scotland have, turning up to Twickenham today, they have been | :39:48. | :39:51. | |
playing some great rugby. They are probably the team in the | :39:52. | :39:53. | |
championship. Last night, obviously, with Wales winning, against Ireland, | :39:54. | :40:02. | |
this game this weekend is just, every fan... I tell you what, the | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
English will be worried. It is all a bit exciting. Yes, they are worried | :40:08. | :40:12. | |
it is they have seemed a way that Scotland have been probably the most | :40:13. | :40:15. | |
entertaining team so far, whereas England have been misfiring, but | :40:16. | :40:18. | |
scraping through, getting out of jail. Who has the greatest pressure | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
on them today? Scotland have not won at Twickenham since 1983, when | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
Billie Jean by Michael Jackson was number one. Have you seen enough | :40:27. | :40:29. | |
this season to suggest that long wait could finally be over? Yes. | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
Scotland are on fire as a team. They are playing well, they are scoring | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
tries, they are dangerous. They lack a bit upfront in the set piece a | :40:39. | :40:42. | |
little bit. But around the field they are in good form. England are | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
struggling a bit. They are a bit disjointed. The back three has not | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
been playing that well, the midfield has not been playing that well. I | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
presumed the big story today, it was Will Ferrell played? There will be a | :40:56. | :41:02. | |
lot more pressure. There is no pressure on Scotland. Nobody is | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
expecting them to win, apart from every Scotsman. Kenny, not just | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
every Scotsman. Every Irishman and every Welshman, currently, they are | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
probably Scotland fans. It seems like everybody is behind Scotland at | :41:15. | :41:18. | |
the moment. You just mentioned Alan Farrell. What will be Scotland team, | :41:19. | :41:23. | |
what will be camp the making of Eddie Jones' statements this week | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
about whether or not Owen Farrell is going to play? You think is try to | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
play with their minds? He may be years, certainly I know his dog has | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
been off the leash quite a lot this week. -- he maybe is. But he didn't | :41:37. | :41:42. | |
train yesterday. At tells a bit of a story. He may be fit today, but from | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
Scotland's point of view, you just have to prepare and forget about | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
Owen Farrell and assume he is going to play and just get on with it and | :41:52. | :41:55. | |
not worry about the sideshow that Owen Farrell is going to play or | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
not. Kenny, it is Charlie here in the studio. Reminisce for us. You | :42:00. | :42:02. | |
mentioned the special nature of the England and Scotland games. When you | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
are in the tunnel and the England team are lining up next to you, how | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
did you play that thing? Do you eyeball your opponent, your direct | :42:11. | :42:14. | |
opposite number? How do you think Scotland will play at this time | :42:15. | :42:17. | |
around in relation to those mind games? -- plate it. I think Scotland | :42:18. | :42:23. | |
have to do what they have been doing the last few weeks. Scotland a | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
number five in the world. You don't get to number five just by beating | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
Ireland or Wales. They have been consistent since the World Cup, | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
really. They have won a lot of big games, and they have lost some big | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
games just by one point. Scotland are an all-round team. They really | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
have that passion, the passion is really important, but you have to | :42:45. | :42:47. | |
have the control, and they have all the control. They have some great | :42:48. | :42:51. | |
players, Finn Russell, the grey brothers, Hamish Watson, Alex the | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
bus, they have a lot of big performers. This is a chance for | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
them. They want to cause an upset, they want to go out there and show | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
people they are not just a one trick pony winning home games. They want | :43:05. | :43:07. | |
to play away games. The last time they played at Twickenham they lost | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
to Australia by one point. They know that they can go there and enjoy the | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
experience. And with the Stuart Hogg factor, there is this element of | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
flair and excitement which could be the crucial factor? Yeah, you saw | :43:19. | :43:26. | |
last night, just one piece of genius can change a game. That is what he | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
has been doing. He has done it all season for his club. He has done it | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
for the last two years. He is a more rounded by an hour, and players are | :43:36. | :43:38. | |
scared of him because they don't know what he is going to do. We have | :43:39. | :43:43. | |
not had that fear factor in a player for Scotland for a long time. We do | :43:44. | :43:47. | |
have somebody who can turn the game very, very quickly. The position he | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
plays, you know that when you kick to him he is going to come out. The | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
fans, the stadium, they'll just rise up when he gets the ball in his | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
hands. I like Elliot Daly, he is a similar mode. He is maybe not as | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
experienced as Hogg, but I think he can do the same for England. Before | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
we go, you can be as biased as you like. Then you give us your | :44:10. | :44:12. | |
prediction? I think Scotland will win by four points. Four points! | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
History being made. Kenny, thank you. I want to go and play in your | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
garden. I will keep the ball through the window. -- kick. Such a big day. | :44:23. | :44:30. | |
We have got so much rugby today. We have got more guests coming up. And | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
we have got the FA Cup as well. Lincoln's chairman is joining us on | :44:36. | :44:36. | |
the phone in an hour. Coverage of England vs Scotland | :44:37. | :44:38. | |

Breakfast from BBC News. The main story this morning: Olympic | :44:42. | :44:50. | |
cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC that the entire board must | :44:51. | :44:53. | |
go after a draft independent report criticises the leadership | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
of the organisation. The United Nations says the world | :44:58. | :44:58. | |
is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 | :44:59. | :45:01. | |
million people in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan | :45:02. | :45:04. | |
and Nigeria at risk of famine. Here's Louise with a look | :45:05. | :45:11. | |
at this morning's weather. It's a very important sporting day, | :45:12. | :45:22. | |
but it doesn't look great in that photo! | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
Actually, today is the best of the two days. A lot of dry weather | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
around if you are off to sporting events. But look at Devon on our | :45:31. | :45:38. | |
good. A murky start. -- an hour ago. This is Kent. I will find some | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
northern Weather Watcher pictures in a bit. We are optimistic that the | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
best sunshine will be in the south-east corner. There's a lot of | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
cloud across the country and some rain moving across Scotland as we | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
speak. Some of it is quite heavy, but it will weaken as it pushes to | :45:55. | :45:59. | |
the borders. Behind it, and improving picture. Drizzly rain | :46:00. | :46:03. | |
across Northern Ireland. Eventually pushing the north-west Wales and | :46:04. | :46:06. | |
northern England. A fair amount of cloud. The emphasis is generally for | :46:07. | :46:15. | |
a dry story, a mild story and sunshine breaking through across | :46:16. | :46:19. | |
southern and south-eastern areas. That will allow for warmth to | :46:20. | :46:23. | |
trigger off. We could see mid to high teens in a couple of spots. 17 | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
degrees likely in the south-east. A mild feel. Elsewhere, the cloud and | :46:30. | :46:32. | |
patchy rain sitting across northern England and north Wales. | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
Temperatures foot Twickenham the same as in Rome, can you believe | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
that? Blue sky and sunshine. Not looking bad for the FA Cup sixth | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
round. A lot of cloud and there could be drizzly rain into | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
Middlesbrough versus Man City. Elsewhere through the night there is | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
more rain to come. If you thought today is looking miserable, think | :46:56. | :47:00. | |
again. Some showery outbreaks moving in from the west and another weather | :47:01. | :47:05. | |
front moves into it. It will be mild, with cloud and rain around, | :47:06. | :47:08. | |
but we will be surrounded by weather fronts. One clearing from the east, | :47:09. | :47:14. | |
another on catching up and it will bring outbreaks of rain. Some of its | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
heavy for a time. There will be a gradual improvement, but for many on | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
Sunday there will be rain around first thing. It will be a soggy | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
affair if you are watching the kids on the touchline. Western Scotland, | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
south-west England and Northern Ireland will brighten up. Sunny | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
spells and scattered showers, but generally a decent feel. Perhaps a | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
maximum of 13. Thanks very much. | :47:43. | :47:43. | |
We'll be back with the headlines at 8am. | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
Now on Breakfast, it's time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed. | :47:47. | :47:52. | |
Hello and welcome to Newswatch with me, Samira Ahmed. | :47:53. | :47:54. | |
What's the BBC's economics editor doing standing in the street, trying | :47:55. | :48:08. | |
to catch numbers? And do we need to know that this distinguished human | :48:09. | :48:11. | |
rights lawyer is married to a Hollywood film star? It is an annual | :48:12. | :48:19. | |
challenge for BBC News. How to make the complex economics of the budget | :48:20. | :48:24. | |
accessible, without dumbing down? It was only to be expected that there | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
were plenty of numbers around this week, at what surprised many viewers | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
was that in a preview on Monday some of the numbers seemed to be flying | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
right into the hands of the BBC's economics editor Kamal Ahmed. | :48:37. | :48:41. | |
Inflation could hit 2.8% by the end of the year and that could mean a | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
squeeze on living standards. The price of fuel has already hit an 18 | :48:48. | :48:54. | |
month high. It costs now ?9 more to fill up the average family car than | :48:55. | :48:58. | |
it did one year ago. And what about the all-important issue of business | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
confidence? Well, the latest survey suggests that confidence is | :49:05. | :49:10. | |
declining. Graham was incredulity at what he saw and left us this | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
telephone message. He was standing in the street, like Sesame Street, | :49:15. | :49:20. | |
with figures coming down out of the sky! This lost all credibility for | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
the news whatsoever, because it completely distracted by all the | :49:27. | :49:33. | |
things going on around him. This is just another example of the new is | :49:34. | :49:37. | |
totally dumbing down. Just give us the news so people -- from people | :49:38. | :49:42. | |
who know what they are talking about in the studio. Thank you very much. | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
Elsewhere, other figures and words. They popped up in a nearby | :49:48. | :49:51. | |
countryside and there was also a strong line and funny descriptions | :49:52. | :49:57. | |
in nature, which also applies to the economic outlook. With little | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
discernible Brexit effect, what has been behind the sun continuing to | :50:03. | :50:06. | |
shine of the UK's finances? To the economic waters at the moment are | :50:07. | :50:10. | |
not too treacherous for Philip Hammond, but this will not be a | :50:11. | :50:13. | |
budget full of big evil ways, despite the brighter economic | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
environment. -- big ways. After hearing those lines and watching the | :50:20. | :50:22. | |
graphics, another view were recorded his views on the report. It was | :50:23. | :50:29. | |
frustrating and distracting, so much so I can't recall what the report | :50:30. | :50:37. | |
was about. When they first used PowerPoint they used every gimmick | :50:38. | :50:42. | |
available that was relevant to the audience. I appreciate graphics, | :50:43. | :50:49. | |
maybe in the studio when the presenter talks to the screen. We | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
don't need to be entertained by the news presentation. In another report | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
the following night, more numbers were dropping down from the sky, | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
although this time not in the Kemal Ahmed's hands. Others were on the | :51:02. | :51:08. | |
pavement beside him and there were visual metaphors. To bridge that... | :51:09. | :51:14. | |
He was on a bridge over the river, which became the back drop for a | :51:15. | :51:20. | |
rather spectacular charter. Was this invention of fun way of making a | :51:21. | :51:25. | |
complex matter more accessible, or dumbing down? Richard enjoyed the | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
tricks saying: loving the graphics tonight. | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
Well, let's explore those reactions with the editor | :51:36. | :52:06. | |
of the BBC's news at six and ten, Hillary O'Neill. | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
Viewers do understand that you are using graphics | :52:10. | :52:11. | |
to try to make it clear and understandable. | :52:12. | :52:13. | |
But these ones, the figures dropping out of the sky, | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
Every single number there was relevant, it was a reason, | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
the locations had been thought through and were therefore a reason. | :52:23. | :52:25. | |
I thought it was informative and creative and entertaining | :52:26. | :52:28. | |
and actually I don't have a problem with it myself. | :52:29. | :52:30. | |
I do understand if some viewers thought it was slightly distracting, | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
but all we are trying to do, we have a whole big collection | :52:36. | :52:39. | |
of numbers and an awful lot of material to get through, | :52:40. | :52:42. | |
is to make it as clear as we possibly can and to do that | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
in a way that engages the viewer, and that isn't just numbers | :52:47. | :52:49. | |
It's nice to get out and about sometimes. | :52:50. | :52:53. | |
It's interesting that you deliberately left the studio | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
for that reason, because viewers say it ended up being distracting. | :52:57. | :52:59. | |
You know, he's standing around doing this in the middle of the street | :53:00. | :53:02. | |
and in the end it is a number that he has just said out loud. | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
It's not that there is anything graphic on the representation | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
of the number that helps you understand anything. | :53:10. | :53:11. | |
I think if there was only one number, I'd accept that. | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
I think when you have a piece with an awful lot of numbers, | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
maybe the viewers who complained are just super numerate in a way | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
that I'm not and experts on the economy, again, | :53:23. | :53:24. | |
We do know that a whole range of people, which we are glad about, | :53:25. | :53:30. | |
And we need to try to accommodate people who don't necessarily already | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
Lots of the audience research shows that, | :53:35. | :53:37. | |
first of all, people have a vague idea, quite often, | :53:38. | :53:40. | |
Secondly, even if they do know the detail, they don't mind | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
being reminded of it, especially ahead of a big | :53:46. | :53:47. | |
A specific complaint made by one of the viewers on webcam was that it | :53:48. | :53:55. | |
just looks like the BBC's graphics team | :53:56. | :53:57. | |
got carried away by what you can do, rather than what is useful. | :53:58. | :54:00. | |
An interesting example is with the scene on the street, | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
there was an inflation figure which was up, | :54:04. | :54:05. | |
but it dropped down from the sky, which is completely illogical. | :54:06. | :54:08. | |
Well, the details of what goes up and what goes down... | :54:09. | :54:11. | |
If a graphic is supposed to be clear, | :54:12. | :54:15. | |
you have a figure that is going up, and it comes down! | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
I suppose you can pick up one tiny detail and say it should have come | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
I think overall, you are right that these things keep changing | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
Tha'ts because the technology allows us to. | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
We don't want to get on the wrong side of that and start doing things | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
just for the sake of it, at that thing | :54:38. | :54:39. | |
would have been meticulously planned and thought through, | :54:40. | :54:42. | |
as the only motivation behind it would have been trying to make | :54:43. | :54:45. | |
what is sometimes a very dry chunk of information interesting | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
You know, I'm sorry if some viewers found it a bit distracting, | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
and we always need to take into consideration - | :54:53. | :54:54. | |
have we gone too far, are we serving our audience | :54:55. | :54:57. | |
And of course that's what we'll continue to do. | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
In the two reports we were looking at, viewers say the one | :55:02. | :55:04. | |
where Kamal Ahmad is out in elaborate locations, | :55:05. | :55:06. | |
viewers thought he was pushing quite childish metaphors. | :55:07. | :55:08. | |
Could you have not just done it in the studio? | :55:09. | :55:12. | |
I mean, how many times do we do things about storm clouds | :55:13. | :55:17. | |
In fairness, he was in those locations for a reason. | :55:18. | :55:25. | |
He was in the Hampshire, specifically because consumer | :55:26. | :55:27. | |
spending is up there and that was a reflection | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
of the story that he was partly telling. | :55:31. | :55:32. | |
And also unemployment is at its lowest. | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
In the second piece he went to that location because it is an area | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
where although the economy is growing a little, | :55:41. | :55:42. | |
it's below where the rest of the UK is growing. | :55:43. | :55:44. | |
It is slightly unfair that we come in for a lot of criticism sometimes | :55:45. | :55:51. | |
as an organisation, and as a news organisation, | :55:52. | :55:53. | |
for sticking to London all the time and sort of being in a studio | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
and doing it all from a metropolitan point of view. | :55:58. | :56:00. | |

There was another example this week of the BBC's graphics department | :56:20. | :56:21. | |
being busy making numbers fly around the screen, | :56:22. | :56:24. | |
in a report from Justin Rolat about possible restrictions | :56:25. | :56:26. | |
on visas being given to Indians wanting to work | :56:27. | :56:28. | |
But it was the way the piece started that annoyed another viewer. | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
She graduated from a top US university. | :56:34. | :56:36. | |
She has worked as a software engineer for Microsoft and Facebook. | :56:37. | :56:43. | |
But she isn't sure she would be welcome in America any more. | :56:44. | :56:47. | |
I believe engineers like me are being pushed out | :56:48. | :56:50. | |
Well, Sue Robson rang us after watching that | :56:51. | :56:56. | |
An item about Trump's restrictions on engineers from India taking jobs | :56:57. | :57:05. | |
You've just shown an Indian engineer putting on her eye make-up | :57:06. | :57:11. | |
and getting dressed, buttoning up her dress | :57:12. | :57:13. | |
And this is on International Women's Day. | :57:14. | :57:24. | |
If she was a man, you would not have shown him putting back his hair, | :57:25. | :57:28. | |
The charge of sexism was also made on Tuesday after an item on the News | :57:29. | :57:39. | |
at Six about the persecution of the Yazidi people in Iraq. | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
Tomorrow, the lawyer acting on behalf of the Yazidis | :57:43. | :57:54. | |
Amal Clooney, the husband of Hollywood film star | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
George Clooney, told me why she has decided to represent the Yazidis | :58:00. | :58:02. | |
and why their cause is important to her. | :58:03. | :58:04. | |
Vivian Davies was one of a number of viewers who had this | :58:05. | :58:07. | |
Is it really necessary to mention the fact that Amal Clooney | :58:08. | :58:14. | |
is married to George Clooney every time she is featured in a news item? | :58:15. | :58:20. | |
Mrs Clooney is an intelligent woman who is doing the job that she does | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
because it's that intelligence, together with her knowledge | :58:26. | :58:28. | |
and experience, and not because she's married | :58:29. | :58:30. | |
Finally, back to the Budget, and the numbers, specifically | :58:31. | :58:40. | |
the amount of extra funding for social care announced | :58:41. | :58:43. | |
He'll spend ?2 billion of taxpayers' money on social care in England. | :58:44. | :58:53. | |
?1 billion available in the next 12 months. | :58:54. | :58:56. | |
And there is a longer term review of how to pay to look | :58:57. | :58:59. | |
Jonathan Ruddle described himself as frustrated by the coverage, | :59:00. | :59:03. | |

Hello this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :59:51. | :00:20. | |
The crisis in British Cycling - Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
told the BBC that the entire board must go. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
A draft independent report - leaked to the Daily Mail - | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
criticises what it calls the dysfunctional and inept | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
For me all I want is the truth to be out there, because it's the truth | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
and that's what people should know. Good morning it's Saturday | :00:42. | :00:57. | |
the 11th of March. The United Nations warns | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945, | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
as millions of people face starvation and famine | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts - | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
is to be made illegal with law And in sport, Wales knock | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
down Ireland's hopes of winning the Six nations, | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
as George North hands England the chance to retain their crown | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
today, if they can beat Scotland. The school that's encouraging | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
children to greet their teachers -- parents to greet their children | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
at the gate with a smile instead of a mobile phone. | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
It's a cloudy start across the country, but a mild one (sunshine | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
today, topping and tailing the country. All the details coming up. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
Our main story today. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
in the Daily Mail, claims British Cycling sanitised its own | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
sports editor, Dan Roan, she believed the truth | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
was finally coming out. Representing Great Britain, | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
who became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
of sexism last year plunged Nothing has been in control, | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
everything has been out I had nobody to turn | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
to within the organisation. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year, | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
was found to have used sexist language towards her, | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
but was cleared of eight of nine According to a draft report | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
of an investigation leaked to the Daily Mail, findings | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were reversed | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
by British Cycling's board. I am relieved that the | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
to post just to get this, and to see that it was | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
a cover-up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well-being | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
of staff, but it said that reforms Those people who say it is sour | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
grapes because you weren't selected for Rio, you will have | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
heard those arguments, When people say it's bitterness, | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
that's all they have If people knew me and saw | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
what I was doing with my life and how I have turned things around, | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
they would know the truth. They would know that | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
in cycling coaching again? Varnish says she is now | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
considering whether to sue British Cycling | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
for unfair dismissal. The world is facing its biggest | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
at risk of starvation and famine. That's according to the United | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
for help for people in Yemen, She lives in Yemen, where two thirds | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
of the population need food aid, The United Nations has been told | :04:18. | :04:30. | |
the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
for the organisation We stand at a critical | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
point in our history. Already, at the beginning | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
of the year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
since the creation of the United Now, more than 20 million people | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
across four countries face In South Sudan, more | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
than one million children and there is a cholera outbreak | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
to deal with as well. The UN says billions of dollars | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
is needed from the international community to feed the hungry, | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
but so far only a fraction of that The overall requirement | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
for South Sudan this year stands As of now, we have received | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
9.3% of that amount, The United Nations says | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep | :05:32. | :05:43. | |
into its pockets, right now. Pope Francis has said | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper, | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner, | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
who climbed onto a roof at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset | :06:09. | :06:10. | |
before taking his clothes off and starting a fire, | :06:11. | :06:12. | |
has been brought back down The blaze is understood | :06:13. | :06:15. | |

Malayan tiger cubs at an American zoo. Not your typical nanny. Blaky | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
is a six-year-old male Australian shepherd. According to keepers there | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
at Cincinnati zoo, he provides, this is my favourite bit, snuggling, | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
warmth and a climbable body for these poor little cubs after their | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
mum rejected them. That's climbable body for you. Now we know, that's | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
what it is. He keeps them in check, nips them if they're naughty. | :09:01. | :09:06. | |

Nearly a year since allegations of sexism first began to emerge - | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
a leaked draft report has this week delivered a damning indictment | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
Now the original whistle-blower, Jess Varnish, has called | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
She spoke to the BBC's Dan Roan in her first broadcast interview | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
and the Daily Mail's sports correspondent Martha Kelner | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
Good morning to you. Morning. First of all, what Jess is saying in the | :09:30. | :09:37. | |
interview is incredibly strong. She's saying the whole system is | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
wrong should be got rid of. Yeah, I think she's justified for having | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
those views. They're quite serious allegations that are made in this | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
leaked report which the Daily Mail's seen. They say that there was a | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
separate investigation into claims of sexism that Jess Varnish made | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
against her former coach, which he resigned over. This draft report | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
says that the findings of the original report were not just | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
sanitised but the findings were reversed. So this is a huge cover | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
up. You can understand her saying that she thinks the entire British | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
cycling board, which rubber stamped that cover up, should go. She has | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
had a fair old time of it. She was the person who put her head above | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
the parapet to start with. Yes, I saw her yesterday along with Dan | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
Roan. She was saying exactly a year ago today since she was let go from | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
the British cycling elite performance programme. She'd been | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
there 11 years. She was a potential medallist going to Rio. Within a | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
space of a week her life fell apart. She decided to speak out and she | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
has, you know, it's emboldened other people who were in the system to | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
speak out. It's created the debate about elite sport basically and what | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
you have to do to get the best out of your athletes. You mention the | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
issue of the cover up, which is in many stories, sometimes becomes a | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
bigger story than the original problem. From what you understand | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
from this report are individuals named in relation to the cover up? | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
Not in relation to the cover up. But the board, it was a UK Sport-funded | :11:22. | :11:29. | |
investigation. The board said that they believe from what they have | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
read that the findings of the original report into Jess Varnish's | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
claims of sexism and discrimination against Shane Sutton were not | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
sanitised they were reversed. If that's the case, is it tenable, Jess | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
was asked the question, can those people remain in their roles for the | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
sport to have any kind of legitimacy, what do you think? I | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
personally agree with Jess. I think the positions of that board is | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
untenable. Because British cycling is, make no bones about it, it's a | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
sport in crisis. The MP Damien Collins said it was in tatters. More | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
so than that, I think this board does have to go because they want to | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
move into this era of transparency and change. If you've got people who | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
have allegedly have done something as serious as a cover up then how | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
can you move forward? Do you know, do you have any insight about what | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
is going on in British cycling at the moment? What's the atmosphere | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
like within the team now? Go back a few years, to the London Olympics, | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
those glorious, fantastic days in the velodrome, when everybody was | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
so, you know, the mood was incredible, everybody so happy. | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
What's it like there now? From what I hear it's a bit of a bizarre | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
atmosphere. You've got the new chair Jonathan Browning, who briefed the | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
riders last week about a 39-point plan to move forward, but then | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
obviously, he's been dragged back into this crisis from the leaked | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
report. I think it's an odd situation because you do have | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
British cycling from a performance point of view and medal point of | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
view. They've done fantastically well. We dominated in Rio as we did | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
in London and Beijing before that. You have that on one hand. But I | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
believe you can have an environment where some people flourish, but | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
others feel like this draft report said, some people are traumatised by | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
their experience. There I don't think the two ideas are mutually | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
exclusive. You can have good medal performances and have happy | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
athletes. Doesn't suit everybody. Exactly. You're here as a | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
journalist, not as someone involved on either side. But the issue you | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
were raising there, there will be people watching this thinking, you | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
know what, we were all celebrating when British cycling did so well. We | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
knew it was a tough regime. They boasted of their meticulous detail | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
they went into, there will be a thought process, notwithstanding the | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
terrible things that have maybe happened to individuals, if you want | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
success, there are certain things that you wouldn't otherwise have to | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
accept in ordinary work place that's are different in those environments. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
What do you make of that kind of argument? Yeah, I think it is an | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
interesting debate. I think it's important that it does come to | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
fruition. I think, as I said, you can have both. You can have an | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
environment where athletes are happy but also performing well. Jess said | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
she obviously has had many things levelled at her, predominantly that | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
she's bitter and that's why she's speaking out. She was in the | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
programme for 11 years. She says she is tough. She is a hard worker. You | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
don't survive for 11 years if you're particularly weak. I should say | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
before we let you go, we have a statement from British cycling. "The | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
board of British cycling is wholly committed to embracing the draft | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
recommendations and findings of the review has already drawn up a | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
detailed action plan in response to the whole thing. The board may | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
disagree with the factual accuracy of certain points in the independent | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
review. It believes the sport is best served by driving forward the | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
action plan." We'll see. Yeah, Martha, thank you very much for | :15:15. | :15:15. | |
joining us. It's 8. 15 exactly. Let's look at | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
the weather. Louise has the details. Hi there. Half an hour ago I had two | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
weather watcher pictures down to the south. Don't want to be accused of | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
being south Seb trick, so this is in the north. This is cloudy and | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
there's some outbreaks of rain in Scotland as we speak. Different | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
story in Kent. The sunshine is already up and you'll probably see | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
the best of the weather and the warmth today. The reason being for | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
the two contrasts is this weather front into the north-west. It is | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
going to drift steadily southwards through the morning. Weaken off | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
considerably as well. An improving picture into the far north by 9am. | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
You could see sunshine later on. Showery, drizzly rain into Northern | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
Ireland. Eventually into the Isle of Man through the latter stages of the | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
morning. At 9am, cloud across northern England down into the | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
Midlands and into the south-west. But it's mild with it. In actual | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
fact across England and Wales it's going to be a mild day generally. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
Best of the sunshine likely to be down into the south-east. | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
Temperatures will respond. Cloud nibbling away really up into the | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Midlands. Brighter, sunnier skies into the afternoon. 17 degrees the | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
high, 63 Fahrenheit. Our weather front by then a band of drizzle, a | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
nuisance. That means that for much of the sporting events taking place, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
it's perfect weather conditions - light winds, dry with sunshine | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
coming through. Pleasant enough, 15 degrees at Twickenham this | :16:45. | :16:46. | |
afternoon. There could be drizzle around for the Middlesbrough match. | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
Kickoff at lunch time. But Arsenal, Lincoln for the 6th round FA Cup | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
should be dry with some sunshine. Overnight we might see more rain | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
arriving. It will be cloudy. There'll be coastal and hill fog. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
Showery rain for a time. Another weather front by the end of the | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
night pushing into the west. That brings heavier rain. Mild night, not | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
a cold one at all. But these two weather fronts almost merging | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
together on Sunday. So however you look at it, it is going to be a | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
miserable start to the second half of the weekend. Some rain around. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
The rain pushing in from the west, it gradually moves steadily | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
eastwards. That means improvement for Northern Ireland, for western | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Scotland, Wales and south-west England. Sunny spells and scattered | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
showers into the afternoon. But a different day for the south-east in | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
comparison to today with 17 degrees, 10 to 13 at the very best. And the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
rain could linger all day. Back to you two. | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
Oh, dear Louise. Thank you. For 50 years the laws on abortion | :17:44. | :17:51. | |
have remained unchanged, meaning a woman must | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
have the consent of two doctors Under those rules a woman who takes | :17:54. | :17:55. | |
a pill at home could potentially Now a Labour MP is calling | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
for the legislation to be updated. But pro-life critics say | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
it could pave the way for sex selective abortions | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
and terminations on demand. My first reaction was, | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
I don't want to have a baby. Straightaway, how am I going to care | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
for this being when I can't even Emily tells me why | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
she had an abortion. She was broke, she had | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
depression, she couldn't cope. She had to wait one | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
month for a termination. I was googling ways to induce | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
miscarriage and I think that You're risking women's lives because | :18:28. | :18:40. | |
I could have really hurt myself during that time. | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
You could have faced a jail sentence? | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
To punish a woman who is already in such an unstable | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
What do you think you're doing to that woman's life? | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Just under 200,000 abortions were carried out in the UK in 2015, | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
The NHS says women should wait about two weeks, | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
Figures indicate these tablets used to miscarry are increasingly | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
being bought illegally online by women who refuse to wait. | :19:14. | :19:15. | |
Now, this is unlike any other medical procedure. | :19:16. | :19:25. | |
But no other procedure involves ending a life and that's what's key | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
We trust women to make decisions about their lives, | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
about their healthcare, and abortion should be no different. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
But others say the delay that comes with not one but two GPs | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
is essential when deciding the fate of not one but two lives. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Many women go for that initial consultation and by the time | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
they come back they actually change their minds. | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
It's an important step in the process to make sure women | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
are making the right decision for them. | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
Do you have any statistics to back that argument up? | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
We do know that about 30% of women who go for initial consultations | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
The difficulty with the termination is once you have done that, | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
if it's a rushed process, you can't change your mind. | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Her office later said this figure had been given by a leading | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
clinician. We could find no evidence of it. | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
But while the Royal College of Midwives has backed the petition, | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
-- the proposal, more than a thousand midwives have joined a "not | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
in my name" petition. They fear it could pave the way for sex selection | :20:34. | :20:41. | |
abortions on demand. We didn't achieve what I always | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
believed was what women needed, which was choice. | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
Diana Monday was a key figure calling for change in the '60s, just | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
as she is today. I was a lone public voice, | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
but I was not the only person They were all there, the voices, | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
but they were unheard and unfortunately | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
they stayed unheard. They still are unheard. I am | :21:04. | :21:09. | |
appalled. 50 years later on, we are still fighting for this. Oh, my | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
goodness. She shows me the hate | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
mail her campaign attracted Letters from women who pleaded | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
for help in another. That fine line between the rights | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
of a woman and the rights of an unborn child will be | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
scrutinised again on Monday. It's 8. 8.21am. This is Breakfast | :21:27. | :21:37. | |
from BBC News. It's time for a look at today's newspapers. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
The writer and broadcaster Tim Walker is here to tell us | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
Morning. Let's whiz through the front pages first. On the Daily | :21:44. | :21:53. | |
Mail. They're looking at the Budget and some of the stealth taxes | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
they're talking about, specifically about death taxes, saying that many | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
people have to take out a loan just to pay the bills after they die. | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
Front page of the Times there, Theresa May, yeah. That's what we're | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
talking about. We're talking about the picture on the front page in a | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
moment with Tim. On the front of the Guardian: These are quotes from | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
Bernie Sanders about Donald Trump, can you see the headline there. | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
Pathological liar. Ticket touts is the other story there. Touts who use | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
software to buy concert tickets in bulk could face major fines. | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
Should we leave that there and talk to Tim? Got a bit confused which | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
story is which. I'll make you confused. Pick out your story. The | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
hangover from Philip Hammond's first Budget continues. The Tory | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
supporting Daily Telegraph quotes a poll that the decision to break the | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
party's 2015 general election pledge not to raise national insurance | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
means now just one in four voters see the Tories as a low-tax party. | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
55% of those polled since Theresa May's should have honoured her | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
party's pledge not to raise taxes. More woringly for the Prime | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
Minister, they say the Budget has made people less likely to vote | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
Conservative. It's said Mrs May's eight-month honeymoon has come to an | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
end at the worst possible time because of Brexit. People are, I | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
don't know if they are still talking about a quick election, is this now | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
the situation where she might be thinking, you know, that really | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
isn't going to happen, she might do a Gordon Brown? The issue of course | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
is where is the Opposition. She knows exactly where they are in the | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
polls. It almost seems unsporting frankly to have an election now. | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
It's like having a football match when the away team hasn't bothered | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
to show up. The Times today says, a very interesting poll of Labour | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
Party members, just not ordinary people, Labour Party members, the | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
very people that put Corbyn into his job, they are saying that a YouGov | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
poll shows that 46% of them now see Sir Keir Starmer as the best man to | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
lead the party. 46%? 46%, if Mr Corbyn steps down he's very much the | :24:15. | :24:17. | |
favourite. More than half of the party members who voted for Corbyn | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
in the first place, 54% now see him as a poor leader and a majority | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
believe Mr Corbyn should step down before the election. The The pledge | :24:27. | :24:36. | |
thing you were talking about and this applies to all political | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
parties, be careful what you pledge. They are saying there were | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
technicalities, there were brackets that follow the pledge. That's not | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
what people take from a pledge. No, and the spirit has to be observed, | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
not just the letter of it. They tried to get out of it on the | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
technicalities. You know with these polls I read in newspapers, they | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
always have the "don't knows" I wonder what will happen if the don't | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
knows seem to form a Government. They're getting more and more | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
strong. Where are we going next? The Guardian writes the story of Katie | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
Hopkins and the trouble she's got into with regard to Twitter. When I | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
write a story for a newspaper, I've got the editor, I've got lawyers, | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
subeditors, colleagues sitting round me saying, like, sergeant Wilson in | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
Dad's Army, is that wise? Do you really want to say that Hopkins, | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
like everybody who is brave enough to go on Twitter, she's there on her | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
own. She writes something, she doesn't check the facts. She gets | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
into trouble. Here, this woman who also writes a column for the Daily | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Mail, but interestingly they don't run the story today, rightly they've | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
nothing to do with this. This is her in her own life saying this. She's | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
been ordered to pay ?24,000 libel damages, plus legal costs running | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
well into six figures to the writer and food blogger Jack Monroe, who | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
she mixed up with somebody else who desecrated war memorials. This begs | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
the question about the notion people have about Twitter being somehow | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
different from other forms of communication, in the past people | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
have got into trouble for. People think about it, well we put it out | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
there and it's gone. It's not of consequence. You need to. I would | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
advise everybody on Twitter to mug up on your libel. You've got to be | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
careful. Some of these Twitter followers, they will do a tweet read | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
by more people than do a newspaper. They have to take responsibility for | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
their actions. We've seen a guy who made threats to Gina Miller online | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
being in difficulties now with the police. Rightly so. We have to take | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
responsibility, not just us in newspapers, everybody has to take | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
responsibility when you are communicating with large numbers of | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
people. Shall we cheer ourselves up a bit. I know this has been around a | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
long time everybody. You've probably all seen it. We're going to show you | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
again. It is just too funny to ignore today. This is the story | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
about the interview on BBC world, this poor man was chatting to BBC | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
News I think it was, and his two children totally stole the show. | :27:00. | :27:07. | |
Let's just look at it. STUDIO: What will it mean for the | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
wider region, I think one of your children has just walked in. | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
Shifting sands in the region, relations with the north may change? | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
I would be surprise today they do. Pardon me. My apologies. What's this | :27:22. | :27:34. | |
going to mean for the region? My apologies. Erm...... North Korea, | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
South Korea's policy towards North Korea have been severely limited in | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
the last six months to a year... It's the way that when she's | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
kneeling down, they might not be able to see her. It's like a classic | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
panto, behind you! Pour Professor Robert Kelly, the eminent, serious | :28:02. | :28:05. | |
expert on Asian politics trying to do his things. He was trying to keep | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
it sensible while mayhem was breaking out behind him. While | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
trying to push his child out of the picture quite strongly. A lot of | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
people know, we do a lot of interviews with people now because | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
of new technology at home, via Skype. I'm surprised it doesn't | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
happen more often really. You often see people, they set themselves up | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
in a position against a back drop of a wall or whatever, and that's | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
possibly partly why. You get people saying, oh, God look at his interior | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
decor, what happened there? All kinds of stuff can happen. At least | :28:35. | :28:38. | |
when it's in the studio, it's anonymous, we don't have to keep | :28:39. | :28:41. | |
looking behind us. That's in all the papers today. I really like your | :28:42. | :28:44. | |
next story as well. This is in the Daily Mirror. Major Tim. The tabloid | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
with a sense of humour. We need that now, my goodness. There are reports | :28:51. | :28:56. | |
in other papers quoting by the way Harvard professors saying energy | :28:57. | :28:59. | |
flashers that we see and are aware of in distant galaxies, could be | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
alyens firing up their space craft. This is quite relevant what Sir Tim | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
Peake is saying today, the British astronaut who spent 186 days on an | :29:09. | :29:12. | |
International Space Station. He said he was never given any training | :29:13. | :29:16. | |
about the etiquette in terms of what would happen if he met a martian or | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
somebody from outer space. He reckons that was remiss. It reminds | :29:22. | :29:25. | |
me of an advert in private eye recently in which two Martians came | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
to earth, one said, "Take me to your leader." They're looking at Trump | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
and one saying, "Seriously, take me to your leader." We will see you a | :29:35. | :29:40. | |
little later, thank you. In the next half an hour, how do you greet your | :29:41. | :29:44. | |
child at the end of the school day, with a smile or maybe with your head | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
down in the mobile? Perhaps checking your phone? We ask whether one head | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
teacher is right to put up signs discouraging the use of smartphones | :29:53. | :29:54. | |
at the school gate. Headlines coming up next. | :29:55. | :30:32. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. | :30:33. | :30:35. | |
Coming up, Louise will have the weekend's weather forecast for you. | :30:36. | :30:38. | |
First, a summary of this morning's main news. | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown | :30:46. | :30:48. | |
under the bus" after making allegations of sexism in the sport. | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
A leaked report, published in the Daily Mail, claims | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
British Cycling sanitised its own inquiry into the claims. | :30:57. | :30:59. | |
The Olympian told the BBC's sports editor, Dan Roan, | :31:00. | :31:01. | |
she believed the truth was finally coming out. | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
I have been pulled from pillar to post just to get this, | :31:10. | :31:12. | |
and to see that it was a cover-up is huge. | :31:13. | :31:19. | |
Why do you think they did that? To protect themselves. It's easier to | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
throw me under the bus rather than the whole of cycling and for the | :31:25. | :31:26. | |
truth to come out. The world is facing its biggest | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
humanitarian crisis since 1945, that's according to the United | :31:32. | :31:38. | |
Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded | :31:39. | :31:40. | |
for help for people in Yemen, 1. 4 million children could starve | :31:41. | :31:43. | |
this year alone. Pope Francis has said | :31:44. | :31:53. | |
the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men | :31:54. | :31:55. | |
to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper, | :31:56. | :31:57. | |
he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world | :32:01. | :32:02. | |
where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner, | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
who climbed onto a roof at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset | :32:07. | :32:08. | |
before taking his clothes off and starting a fire, | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
has been brought back down The blaze is understood | :32:12. | :32:13. | |
to have caused extensive The inmate, who was protesting | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
about changes to the prison regime, Protests in South Korea have left | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
two people dead and dozens more injured after thousands took | :32:23. | :32:32. | |
to the streets following the removal The president was ousted | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
from office yesterday More protests are expected later | :32:35. | :32:37. | |
today. Online touts who bulk buy tickets | :32:38. | :32:45. | |
and sell them for inflated prices will face unlimited fines under | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
Government plans. An amendment to the Digital Economy | :32:49. | :32:50. | |
Bill means it will be illegal to use software to buy | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
thousands of tickets. Music stars including Ed Sheeran | :32:54. | :32:55. | |
have spoken out about the issue. Archaeologists in Egypt have found | :32:56. | :33:04. | |
a huge statue in a Cairo slum which is thought to be | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
of Pharaoh Ramses the Second, The head and torso of the 26-feet | :33:08. | :33:15. | |
high statue were found submerged in mud and ground water in the east | :33:16. | :33:18. | |
of the city. Known as 'Ramses The Great', | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
the pharaoh lived more than 3,000 years ago and is | :33:25. | :33:30. | |
credited with expanding I think it looks like it's from a | :33:31. | :33:40. | |
film set. From those pictures it's remarkably well-preserved given | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
what's happened to it. We will see, they'll inspect it and determine | :33:43. | :33:48. | |
whether it is real. Amazing. That was a big ear. Morning | :33:49. | :33:55. | |
everyone. We are leading with football. FA Cup special with Dan. I | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
agree with you. We are digressing. Lincoln beating | :34:01. | :34:20. | |
Ipswich in whatever round it was was like climbing Everest and beating | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
Brighton was getting to the moon. Where can they go now with Arsenal? | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
They're playing good football, as well. They're not lumping the ball. | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
You would expect Arsenal to I suppose pummell Lincoln in any other | :34:37. | :34:40. | |
game. Arsenal are in this strange situation at the moment. Yes, | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
they're favourites but Lincoln have done all the preparation, it's been | :34:45. | :34:48. | |
perfect. No one thought they would do what they did at Burnley. It | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
captures everything that we love about the FA Cup this weekend. As | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
well as that we are looking to all the other FA Cup games on Football | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
Focus this weekend and an eye on Monday night where Jose Mourinho | :35:01. | :35:08. | |
goes back to Chelsea with Manchester United, we will play an interview | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
with him, he talks about how he feels about going back to Chelsea. I | :35:12. | :35:16. | |
am not looking for revenge, I am not looking for anything wrong or bad. | :35:17. | :35:23. | |
If you say something special, maybe special, one thing is to have before | :35:24. | :35:31. | |
and after the match a close super friend, so if he is different, it's | :35:32. | :35:36. | |
different in a positive way, not different in a negative way. Are you | :35:37. | :35:40. | |
surprised how well Chelsea have done this season? No, I am in the | :35:41. | :35:44. | |
surprised, I am surprised with the way they play. I am surprised | :35:45. | :35:52. | |
because I thought there were demandings of a different kind of | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
football. Because I think Chelsea's phenomenal but Chelsea's an amazing | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
defensive team. A little subtly there. You were | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
asking whether he will get a good reception, I am sure he will, they | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
still love him there. I have written down all the other bits that are on. | :36:14. | :36:20. | |
Manchester City and Middlesbrough also in the FA Cup. Bournemouth with | :36:21. | :36:29. | |
that game, Swansea, a couple of games at the bottom of the Premier | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
League are meaningful and we are talking about Spurs and Millwall. | :36:37. | :36:41. | |
That's all from midday on BBC One. Also on the list a pint of | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
semiskimed and buns for later. In all honesty, my shopping list is the | :36:47. | :36:50. | |
next thing! What's top of the shopping list? We have run out of | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
grapes in the household. Is that for the guests? No, grapes and milk on | :36:56. | :37:04. | |
the way home. It's always milk. Get some biscuits. All right. You | :37:05. | :37:10. | |
will have a buzzy morning! We are talking to the Lincoln chairman in a | :37:11. | :37:17. | |
moment, as well. Also we have a stunning goal. First, it's finally | :37:18. | :37:20. | |
happened. Norwich have lost patience with their manager. | :37:21. | :37:30. | |
And are hoping finding a replacement, which will | :37:31. | :37:33. | |
push, while Brighton are on course to go up automatically. | :37:34. | :37:36. | |
Anthony Knockaert got the Brighton party going, | :37:37. | :37:38. | |
as they beat Derby 3-0, as the Seagulls moved level | :37:39. | :37:40. | |
on points with Newcastle, at the top of the Championship. | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
Derby have slipped to ten points, off the play-offs. | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
This is what I am talking about, how about this for goal of the week? | :37:45. | :37:54. | |
Hibs are ten points clear of their rivals. Bang, there it is, top | :37:55. | :37:58. | |
corner! But he was sent off later for a | :37:59. | :38:06. | |
second booking when he tried a Maradonna hands-style goal that | :38:07. | :38:07. | |
obviously wasn't allowed. The Six Nations title | :38:08. | :38:10. | |
is England's for the taking back after two defeats, | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
and George North was unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries, | :38:13. | :38:21. | |
and after holding off an Ireland fightback, Jamie Roberts rounded off | :38:22. | :38:24. | |
the win late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish | :38:25. | :38:26. | |
defending to make it 22-9 We knew there was going to be | :38:27. | :38:37. | |
reaction and against one of the best sides in world rugby you have to | :38:38. | :38:40. | |
play like that with and without the ball. There's a lot of hurt in the | :38:41. | :38:46. | |
camp over the last couple of weeks, I am delighted and proud of the | :38:47. | :38:48. | |
players, they deserve that. They've taken a lot of stick, the coaches | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
and the players alike. We beat a very good Irish side today and I | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
thought we beat them emphatically, as well. | :38:58. | :39:01. | |
France play Italy in the first of today's Six Nations games | :39:02. | :39:03. | |
and after that attention turns to the Calcutta Cup. | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
Thanks to that Wales win, England could pick up | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
the title with victory, while Scotland can go top, | :39:09. | :39:10. | |
and claim pole position, if they can get a first win | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
For England, Owen Farrell remains a doubt, after apparently falling | :39:14. | :39:17. | |
England have up to an hour before kick-off to finalise their team, | :39:18. | :39:25. | |
for what both coaches know, will be a hard-fought game. | :39:26. | :39:30. | |
We're just concentrating on ourselves. We've had a great | :39:31. | :39:37. | |
two-week preparation, we had a fantastic week at Oxford, trained | :39:38. | :39:41. | |
well. We've had two good days of training here. We're really well | :39:42. | :39:48. | |
prepared, we're looking forward to playing an historic Calcutta Cup. | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
It's going to be about the players on the field, and we know our | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
players know that we're going to have to be on our best performance | :39:58. | :40:02. | |
on that day, during that 80 minutes, we will have to string together a | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
number of excellent plays, whether it's in attack and defence and think | :40:06. | :40:11. | |
clearly to get them to start adapting to our play. They're a very | :40:12. | :40:12. | |
good team. Coverage is live from 3pm this | :40:13. | :40:17. | |
afternoon. Kick-off is at 4pm. Yohanna Konta has won the battle | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
of the Brits at the Indian Wells It's the first time Konta has | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
met her Fed Cup team-mate Konta struggled at times | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
in the hot California sun The second set was easier for Konta, | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
frustrating for Watson. There are now 97 places between them | :40:35. | :40:41. | |
in the world rankings. So Konta, the world number 11, | :40:42. | :40:44. | |
moves into round 3. In the men's draw Britain's Kyle | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
Edmund is into the second round. He beat Portugal's, | :40:49. | :40:51. | |
Gastao Elias 6-1, 6-3. Dan Evans made light work | :40:52. | :40:53. | |
of his first-round match against Dustin Brown - | :40:54. | :40:55. | |
winning 6-1, 6-1. The British number three will now | :40:56. | :41:04. | |
face Kei Nishikori in round two. In last night's Super League, | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10, Albert Kelly was the star with two | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
of Hull's three tries, Great Britain's husband and wife | :41:12. | :41:26. | |
pair Chris and Gabby Adcock are into the semi-finals, | :41:27. | :41:28. | |
once again, at the All-England Badminton Championships. | :41:29. | :41:30. | |
This is like the Wimbledon of badminton, and the pair, | :41:31. | :41:32. | |
beat the Olympic champions from Indonesia, coming | :41:33. | :41:35. | |
from a set down. It's the second year in a row, | :41:36. | :41:37. | |
they've reached the last 4, and comes soon after GB badminton | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
had its funding cut by UK sport. The last time Lincoln City played | :41:41. | :41:51. | |
Arsenal in a competitive That was 102 years ago, | :41:52. | :41:53. | |
but this afternoon they'll be hoping It's a momentous day | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
for the non-league side and the 9,000 fans who'll make | :42:00. | :42:05. | |
the journey down to the Emirates Stadium with them, | :42:06. | :42:07. | |
on 53 coaches and even One of those making the trip | :42:08. | :42:09. | |
will be Bob Dorrian, We'll be speaking to him | :42:10. | :42:13. | |
in a moment, but first let's hear People around Lincoln are really | :42:14. | :42:21. | |
excited for the quarter-finals against Arsenal. It's really | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
inspired me because Lincoln have made everybody try harder and work | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
harder because you know you can do that well. If we got through to the | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
semifinal it is would be amazing to go to Wembley. I think Lincoln could | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
do well if they scored, and if they won it will be amazing. I think | :42:39. | :42:45. | |
Arsenal need to watch out for Matt Reed and Arnold. I think Reid and | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
Arnold will be really quick. I am a bit worried of what Sanchez and Ozil | :42:51. | :42:55. | |
can do. I want to play for Lincoln when I am older. Watching this FA | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
Cup has been amazing. It's inspired me. My prodiction is 2-1 to Lincoln. | :43:01. | :43:08. | |
2-0 Lincoln. 1-0 Lincoln. 2-1 to Lincoln. You can do it in the | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
quarter-finals against Arsenal. Good luck, Lincoln. I hope you win | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
against Arsenal. I hope you are going to be amazing. We can do this! | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
That's the team talk done. The confidence is catching from the | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
players. Fantastic. Listening to that is the chairman of Lincoln | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
City. We can talk to him now on the phone. Good morning, Bob. A special | :43:31. | :43:35. | |
morning. Wondering where you are and what's been the morning routine so | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
far? Well, I have been up since about 7. 30 am, had my breakfast and | :43:40. | :43:48. | |
getting my case packed for the weekend, so a fairly busy start so | :43:49. | :43:52. | |
far, and obviously the day ahead, who knows what that will bring. You | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
sound very calm, did you get any sleep? A little bit restless last | :43:56. | :44:02. | |
night. But generally speaking it was a reasonable night's sleep, yes. | :44:03. | :44:08. | |
Bob, it's Sally here. I am wondering, it's been such a | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
brilliant experience so far, is there anything that you are doing, | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
anything perhaps, any superstitions, anything you have consistently done | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
through this run you might be also be doing today to keep the luck | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
going? Me personally, for most of the games this season I wear a pair | :44:26. | :44:31. | |
of red socks. It seems to be working so far. I shall have my red socks on | :44:32. | :44:37. | |
again today. Love that. Bob, it's Charlie here. For those who are not | :44:38. | :44:41. | |
familiar with the team, could you introduce us to one or two of the | :44:42. | :44:48. | |
personalities, I am interested in nicknames, character traits, that | :44:49. | :44:53. | |
kind of thing. Well, I don't think any of the players have really got | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
any outstanding nicknames. Obviously, our centre forward Matt | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
Reed, who is a big lad, I understand he has one or two nicknames in the | :45:04. | :45:09. | |
dressing room, perhaps it wouldn't be right to mention on air. Yeah, | :45:10. | :45:17. | |
they're all great players. They're a fantastic set of lads. They have | :45:18. | :45:22. | |
gelled extremely well as a team this season, as we have all seen. Great, | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
absolutely great set of lads. It's probably the first and only time in | :45:27. | :45:31. | |
history that you will be studying videos of Bayern Munich who played | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
Arsenal last and showed how to beat them. Yeah, Danny and Nicky have | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
watched a number of videos of Arsenal recently and obviously two | :45:41. | :45:43. | |
of their recent games have been against Bayern Munich, so I know | :45:44. | :45:48. | |
Danny and Nicky have been getting a lot of information from those videos | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
and it's telling actually, we understand that there are more | :45:54. | :45:56. | |
tickets sold for the Lincoln City game than for the Bayern Munich game | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
earlier. That says a lot about Lincoln City, I guess. Bob, you | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
mentioned Danny and Nicky, how important has Dan been to you? They | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
have been absolutely phenomenal. As you know, they came into the club at | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
the beginning of this season from part-time non-league and what | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
they've achieved at Lincoln City is truly, truly amazing. In such a | :46:24. | :46:29. | |
short space of time. They're a complete phenomenon. Those two boys | :46:30. | :46:35. | |
are going to go a long, long way in professional football in this | :46:36. | :46:39. | |
country. Oh, I like that! Good luck, Bob and the rest of you. Keep those | :46:40. | :46:45. | |
red socks on. He sounded very calm and composed. | :46:46. | :46:49. | |
Maybe that's why they've gone so far. Mike, thank you very much. | :46:50. | :46:59. | |
Today the Chancellor is facing more criticism over his decision to raise | :47:00. | :47:06. | |
income tax for the self-employed. Former Chancellor Lord Lamont has | :47:07. | :47:26. | |
called the move a rookie error. We can talk to Paul Lewis. Are there | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
winners and losers? There are, people focus on the losers, the | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
losers tend to be better paid, they're barristers, doctors, | :47:36. | :47:39. | |
plumbers, journalists like me, we will pay more National Insurance | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
because the 9% tax of National Insurance we pay will go up to ten | :47:45. | :47:51. | |
and then 11%. To off-set that a flat rate is being scrapped. It depends | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
where the balance is. Most people who do currently are self-employed | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
will either pay no more, or will pay less. Anyone with an income below | :48:01. | :48:06. | |
?16,000 will pay less when these policies are fully enforced. That's | :48:07. | :48:14. | |
not much money. But most, most self-employed people, actually have | :48:15. | :48:19. | |
profits below ?16250. The politics side, Theresa May was making much, | :48:20. | :48:22. | |
they were accused of breaking a pledge, you are aware of this | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
argument. The counterargumentment was they wanted to level things | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
between employed and self-employed people. That's right. If you are an | :48:31. | :48:35. | |
employee, this National Insurance tax is 12% of your earnings between | :48:36. | :48:39. | |
two limits. If you are employed and instead of 12%, if you are | :48:40. | :48:47. | |
self-employed, it's 9%. So what Philip Hammond was trying to raise | :48:48. | :48:54. | |
that, approaching the 12%. For that money, for that 9% % or 10%, | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
self-employed get pretty much the same benefits, the only thing they | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
don't get that's significant is unemployment benefit, jobseeker's | :49:04. | :49:07. | |
allowance as it is now. That's the big one they don't get, but they get | :49:08. | :49:14. | |
maternity allowance, but they don't get paternity. So there are a few | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
differences. But certainly not enough to justify that big gap | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
between self-employed and employed. You mentioned in your first answer | :49:23. | :49:29. | |
about those who are likely to lose the most and often it's the case I | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
think that the suggestion is that it's those who are on the lowest - | :49:33. | :49:36. | |
self-employed and the lowest income are likely to be hit the most. | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
That's slightly difficult, the people who lose the most from the | :49:42. | :49:47. | |
change Philip Hammond announced are the better paid, people earning more | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
than ?40,000, there is a group earning less than ?6,000, they are | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
about a million people nearly. They can make up their National Insurance | :49:57. | :50:01. | |
record by buying extra contributions because they don't pay them | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
automatically. If they want to buy them it costs about ?150 a year. But | :50:05. | :50:13. | |
from next April that price will more than quadruple to ?740 a year. If | :50:14. | :50:17. | |
they have a gap in their record they want to make up and they earn below | :50:18. | :50:23. | |
?6,000, their contributions will go up hugely and they are potentially | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
big losers. Paul, thank you very much. More with Paul on Money Box at | :50:28. | :50:38. | |
midday today on Radio 4. Our main stories: The Olympics cyclist Jess | :50:39. | :50:41. | |
Varnish has told the BBC that the entire board of British cycling must | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
go after a draft independent report criticises the leadership of the | :50:46. | :50:48. | |
organisation. The United Nations says the world is | :50:49. | :50:54. | |
facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945 with more than 20 | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
million people in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria at risk of | :50:59. | :51:02. | |
famine. Also coming up, a Syrian chef who | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
lost his restaurants in the war launched a pop-up restaurant in | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
London last night. We were there for the opening. And to hear his | :51:10. | :51:18. | |
extraordinary story. Let's look at the weather. | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
How is it for the weekend, Louise? Glorious for some of us. Look at | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
London a few moments ago, it's going to be a mild, beautiful spring-like | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
today. Not for all, unfortunately. Across the Highlands it's cloudy and | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
showery rain. But it will improve here. You will get sunshine in the | :51:38. | :51:40. | |
far north of Scotland. This weather front will weaken off, | :51:41. | :51:49. | |
just a band of cloud and rain for many. It means that we will | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
gradually see an improving picture in Scotland. At the moment rain | :51:55. | :51:57. | |
around. Drizzly bits and pieces into Northern Ireland. The Isle of Man | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
and North Wales, as well. A lot of cloud generally but already in the | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
London area and down through Kent, I have been showing photographs this | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
morning, of a beautiful sunrise. We might get to see the cloud break up | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
more and the sunshine push across the south coast and South Wales and | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
the Midlands and East Anglia and hopefully not a bad day. Even if you | :52:21. | :52:23. | |
don't have the sunshine it's going to be mild with temperatures around | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
13 or 14, we could see 17 in the London area. Not too bad in the far | :52:28. | :52:33. | |
north of Scotland. I am sure Lincoln City fans won't care what the | :52:34. | :52:36. | |
weather is doing this afternoon but it's going to be perfect for you, a | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
little bit of sunshine and pleasant, as well. For the Six Nations, light | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
winds, perfect kicking game. Some decent weather. The same conditions | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
in Twickenham as in Rome. Tonight a lot of cloud around and more showery | :52:52. | :52:58. | |
outbreaks of rain initially. Some poor visibility, coastal and hill | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
fog. Then towards the end of the night another weather front comes | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
in, almost bumps into the weather front ahead of it and that means is | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
these two systems will merge together, there's going to be rain | :53:11. | :53:13. | |
tomorrow. What a difference a day makes, particularly in the | :53:14. | :53:16. | |
south-east where it could stay grey and wet all day. Gradually | :53:17. | :53:20. | |
brightening up from the west. For Northern Ireland and western | :53:21. | :53:22. | |
Scotland, Wales and south-west England into the afternoon some | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
sunshine. A few isolated showers but not too bad here. But miserable | :53:28. | :53:31. | |
across the south-east and generally North Sea coasts and temperatures | :53:32. | :53:34. | |
will be way down on today. Enjoy. Back to you two. | :53:35. | :53:47. | |
Picture the scene, you are at the school picking up the kids and you | :53:48. | :53:55. | |
are on the phone texting, ignoring the child? Does that happen One head | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
teacher says so. It happens a lot. One school has decided enough is | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
enough and is asking mums and dads to greet their child with a smile, | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
not a mobile. We will talk about this in a moment. First, lates hear | :54:11. | :54:12. | |
what parents had to say. When they come to pick their kids up | :54:13. | :54:16. | |
from school, they should be here to do that and to talk to them | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
about their day, not to be I don't know what the big | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
fuss is about, really. I don't see many here doing it, | :54:26. | :54:28. | |
but I should imagine there are a lot When you are with children | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
I think it's better It doesn't come to mind, | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
pulling your phone out We're joined by parenting coach | :54:38. | :54:40. | |
Anita Cleare and digital marketing Morning to you both. How damaging is | :54:41. | :55:00. | |
it I suppose I am going to say the word, how bad is it when a kid comes | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
out of school for a parent to not be paying attention? The problem is the | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
amount of space technology's taking. It's OK every now and then to not | :55:10. | :55:14. | |
pay attention to your children. They don't need 100%. But if you are | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
actually never paying attention, they're not learning essential | :55:19. | :55:23. | |
skills, not learning talking skills, conversations, they're not getting | :55:24. | :55:27. | |
that sense of specialness to you if you are saying whatever's going on | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
on the phone is more important about your day. So it damages | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
relationships and that's important. If this head teacher is observing | :55:35. | :55:37. | |
what's going on, he is only interested in the welfare of the | :55:38. | :55:41. | |
kids, he is not making this up. He is thinking something's changing. | :55:42. | :55:45. | |
Absolutely. I think this signifies exactly how much family life is | :55:46. | :55:50. | |
being invaded by technology. We are finding is that you look at a family | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
home and you will have individuals each interacting with a screen, a | :55:55. | :55:57. | |
separate device and not actually talking to each other and that is | :55:58. | :56:02. | |
having an impact on relationships, on children's development and how | :56:03. | :56:08. | |
they feel about themselves, as well. Dan, is technology taking over? Yes, | :56:09. | :56:13. | |
I suppose mobiles are pervasive, they are pretty much taking over, | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
something like depending on the demographic between 70 and 92% of | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
people have a smartphone. It's more what we do with them. Let's not | :56:22. | :56:24. | |
throw the baby out with the bath water here, when we pick up children | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
and doing things like this you might be taking too many foet yeses -- | :56:29. | :56:38. | |
photos, as long as you are present and digitally mindful. What does | :56:39. | :56:43. | |
that mean? Being conscious of what you are doing on your -- digital | :56:44. | :56:49. | |
device, if you are at a party and checking it, and if you are with | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
your daughter, hello! If I am not checking my phone, it's going to | :56:55. | :56:57. | |
damage our relationship. If you are taking photos in a moment and not in | :56:58. | :57:02. | |
the moment, because we take trillions of photos, if you add up | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
all the photos taken on social media and 90% are done through a | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
smartphone, if you printed them it would be enough to get to the moon | :57:10. | :57:13. | |
and back. This is daily. Whose how many are taken. That's about living | :57:14. | :57:17. | |
in the moment. Being aware of what's going on at the time. The other part | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
of this is that presumably so many parents will have had a conversation | :57:22. | :57:24. | |
with their children, will you get off that mobile phone. It robs you | :57:25. | :57:28. | |
of the right, if you are doing it yourself and at a moment when your | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
child wants to share something with you, they're right to turn around | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
and say look at you. Absolutely. Teenagers especially are the first | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
people to spot if you are being hypocritical about something. This | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
is a family issue. It's not, parents say to me how do I draw lines around | :57:43. | :57:46. | |
technology, and stop children using it too much? It's a family issue. | :57:47. | :57:51. | |
How do you stop using it so much as a family together. That's about | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
things like having tech-free spaces in the house or tech-free times of | :57:55. | :57:59. | |
the day. Putting the phone in another room when you are talking to | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
children, so that the whole family are obeying rules, not us saying to | :58:04. | :58:06. | |
children don't use it because I say don't do it. You know what, it's so | :58:07. | :58:11. | |
difficult. It is really hard, it's a good idea, I hear everything you are | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
saying. It makes brilliant sense. But it's just so hard. This is | :58:17. | :58:20. | |
something you are navigating. This is your world. Technology is your | :58:21. | :58:29. | |
world and you mentioned your daughter It's ironic for me, because | :58:30. | :58:34. | |
I train companies, it's ironic to say not do it. 92% of us will not | :58:35. | :58:39. | |
let our mobile phone be more than three metres away from us, that's | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
scary. They disrupt our lives and even our sleep which is really bad | :58:44. | :58:47. | |
for us. However, let's not take away the positive. You can be learning | :58:48. | :58:51. | |
how to start your own business with a phone, you could be doing things | :58:52. | :58:56. | |
on e-commerce, creating stuff. Let's not take away the negative. They're | :58:57. | :59:00. | |
tremendously powerful pieceses of technology we can tang advantage | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
with. I can even push it further f you are not by yourself, if you are | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
not alone, don't take out your phone. It actually affects all our | :59:08. | :59:15. | |
lives. That's a really good idea. Mentally, if someone's talking to to | :59:16. | :59:20. | |
you it is rude to start looking at something else. If you are meeting | :59:21. | :59:24. | |
someone for coffee, phone on the table. Think about it tonight, be | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
more conscious, more digitally mindful. There you go. Thank you | :59:30. | :59:34. | |
very much. Coming up before the end of the | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
programme, Scotland and England go head-to-head in the Six Nations | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
today we will be asking Mike if England can continue their unbeaten | :59:43. | :59:43. | |
run? Headlines are on the way. Hello this is Breakfast, with | :59:44. | :00:07. | |
Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. The crisis in British Cycling - | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Olympic cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC that the entire board | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
must go. A draft independent report - | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
leaked to the Daily Mail - criticises what it calls | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
the dysfunctional and inept For me all I want is the truth to be | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
out there, because it's the truth Good morning it's Saturday | :00:21. | :00:28. | |
the 11th of March. The United Nations warns | :00:29. | :00:49. | |
that the world faces its largest humanitarian crisis since 1945, | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
as millions of people face starvation and famine | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
in parts of Africa. A crackdown on ticket touts - | :00:54. | :01:00. | |
computer software which buys hundreds of tickets within seconds | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
is to be made illegal with law And in sport, Wales knock | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
down Ireland's hopes of winning the Six nations, | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
as George North hands England the chance to retain their crown | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
today, if they can beat Scotland. Sir David Attenborough as you've | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
never seen him before. We'll hear how he's helping | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
a new generation to understand Good morning, it's a cloudy start | :01:26. | :01:38. | |
right across the country, but a mild one. We will have some sunshine | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
today, topping and tailing the country. I'll have all the details | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
coming up. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
in the Daily Mail, claims British Cycling sanitised its own | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
sports editor, Dan Roan, she believed the truth | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
was finally coming out. Representing Great Britain, | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
Jess Varnish! She is the medal winner | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
who became a whistleblower. Jess Varnish's allegations | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
of sexism last year plunged Nothing has been in control, | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
everything has been out I had nobody to turn | :02:17. | :02:27. | |
to within the organisation. Coach Shane Sutton, who dropped | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
Varnish from the squad for the Rio Olympics last year, | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
was found to have used sexist language towards her, | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
but was cleared of eight of nine According to a draft report | :02:42. | :02:43. | |
of an investigation leaked to the Daily Mail, findings | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
of an internal review into Varnish's allegations were reversed | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
by British Cycling's board. I am relieved that the | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
to post just to get this, and to see that it was | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
a cover-up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well-being | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
of staff, but it said that reforms Those people who say it is sour | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
grapes because you weren't selected for Rio, you will have | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
heard those arguments, When people say it's bitterness, | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
that's all they have If people knew me and saw | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
what I was doing with my life and how I have turned things around, | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
they would know the truth. They would know that | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
I'm not bitter at all. Should Shane Sutton work | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
in cycling coaching again? Varnish says she is now | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
considering whether to sue British Cycling | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
for unfair dismissal. The world is facing its biggest | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 million people | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
at risk of starvation and famine. That's according to the United | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
for help for people in Yemen, She lives in Yemen, where two thirds | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
of the population need food aid, The United Nations has been told | :04:06. | :04:21. | |
the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
for the organisation We stand at a critical | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
point in our history. Already, at the beginning of the | :04:30. | :04:41. | |
year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
creation of the United Nations. Now, more than 20 million people | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
across four countries face In South Sudan, more | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
than one million children and there is a cholera outbreak | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
to deal with as well. The UN says billions of dollars | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
is needed from the international community to feed the hungry, | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
but so far only a fraction of that The overall requirement | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
for South Sudan this year stands As of now, we have received | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
9.3% of that amount, The United Nations says | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep | :05:23. | :05:32. | |
into its pockets, right now. Pope Francis has said | :05:33. | :05:41. | |
the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper, | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner, | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
who climbed onto a roof at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
before taking his clothes off and starting a fire, | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
has been brought back down The blaze is understood | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
to have caused extensive The inmate, who was protesting | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
about changes to the prison regime, Protests in South Korea have left | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
three people dead and dozens more injured after thousands took | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
to the streets following the removal Park was ousted from office | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
yesterday following a corruption scandal. More protests are expected | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
later today. A judge who last month stopped | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
President Trump from implementing a controversial travel ban has said | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
he needs more time before ruling Washington State had tried to get | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
the new proposals stopped, but Judge James Robart said more | :06:42. | :06:51. | |
papers needed to be filed before Online touts, who bulk buy tickets | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
and sell them for inflated prices, will face unlimited fines under | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
Government plans. An amendment to the Digital Economy | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
Bill means it will be illegal to use software to buy | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
thousands of tickets. Music stars including Ed Sheeran | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
have spoken out about the issue. Archaeologists in Egypt have found | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
a huge statue in a Cairo slum which is thought to be | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
of Pharaoh Ramses the Second, -- can I not say that because I | :07:17. | :07:30. | |
don't think it's really real? This is extraordinary. This is in an area | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
east of the city. Lo and behold, they were looking through the mud, | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
in a hole. They found this extraordinary statue. It's Ramses | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
the great, he lived more than 3,000 years ago. He is credited with | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
expanding the Egyptian empire. He's been down there a long time. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
Amazing. All the sport coming up later and a | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
full look at the weekend weather as well. | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
For 50 years the laws on abortion have remained unchanged, | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
meaning a woman must have the consent of two doctors | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Under those rules a woman who takes a pill at home could potentially | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Now a Labour MP is calling for the legislation to be updated. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
But pro-life critics say it could pave the way | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
for sex selective abortions and terminations on demand. | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
My first reaction was, I don't want to have a baby. | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
Straightaway, how am I going to care for this being when I can't even | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
Emily tells me why she had an abortion. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
She was broke, she had depression, she couldn't cope. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
She had to wait one month for a termination. | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
I was Googling ways to induce miscarriage and I think that | :08:44. | :08:53. | |
You're risking women's lives because I could have really hurt myself | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
You could have faced a jail sentence? | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
To punish a woman who is already in such an unstable | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
what do you think you're doing to that woman's life? | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
Just under 200,000 abortions were carried out in the UK in 2015, | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
The NHS says women should wait around two weeks, | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
Figures indicate these tablets used to miscarry are increasingly | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
being bought illegally online by women who refuse to wait. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Now, this is unlike any other medical procedure. | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
But no other procedure involves ending a life and that's what's key | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
We trust women to make decisions about their lives, | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
about their healthcare, and abortion should be no different. | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
But others say the delay that comes with not one but two GPs | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
is essential when deciding the fate of not one but two lives. | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
Many women go for that initial consultation and by the time | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
they come back they actually change their minds. | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
It's an important step in the process to make sure women | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
are making the right decision for them. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Do you have any statistics to back that argument up? | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
We do know that about 30% of women who go for initial consultations | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
The difficulty with the termination is once you have done that, | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
if it's a rushed process, you can't change your mind. | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
Her office later said this figure had been given by a leading | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
clinician. We could find no evidence of it. | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
But while the Royal College of Midwives has backed | :10:37. | :10:52. | |
the the proposal, more than a | :10:53. | :10:53. | |
in my name" petition. They fear it could pave the way for sex selection | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
abortions on demand. We didn't achieve what I always | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
believed was what women needed, which was choice. | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
Diana Monday was a key figure calling for change in the '60s, just | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
I was a lone public voice, but I was not a lone person | :11:06. | :11:20. | |
They were all there, the voices, but they were unheard | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
and unfortunately they stayed unheard. | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
They still are unheard. I am appalled. 50 years later on, we are | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
still fighting for this. Oh, my goodness. | :11:29. | :11:29. | |
She shows me the hate mail her campaign attracted | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
Letters from women who begged for help in another. | :11:35. | :11:42. | |
That fine line between the rights of a woman and the rights | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
of an unborn child will be scrutinised again on Monday. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
More on this story now and speak to Diana Johnson. Very good morning to | :11:49. | :11:55. | |
you. You're proposing this Private Members' Bill that would | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
decriminalise abortion. We heard some of the arguments in that | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
report. Why do you think now is the right time to do this? First of all, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
it's a ten-minute rule bill. It's only going to cover England and | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
Wales. It's about decriminalisation, it's not about deregulation. Even if | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
this were to go forward, there would be a range of laws and regulations | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
around abortion and so, the concerns that people are raising about sex | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
selective abortion or very late abortions, they would still be | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
covered by regulation and laws. This is about taking away the fact that a | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
woman and anyone who assists a woman in aring an abortion can be sent to | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
prison for life. The 67 act, which you've talked about in your package | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
actually allows abortion in certain circumstances, but underpinning that | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
is a very old act, the 1861 act, which says a woman and anyone who | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
assists can go to prison for life. That's the bit I want to remove. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Just to be clear, you'll have heard in the piece there, the concern as | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
it stands that two doctors need to be consulted as part of this | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
process. Do you envisage that would remain the case? Well, I think | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
Parliament would want regulation about how women can access abortion | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
services. That would certainly be up for debate. The BMA have said that | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
up to 12 weeks it would be sensible to review whether you need to have | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
two doctors. But I think that could all be debated by Parliament and put | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
into regulation. But the key point is around the decriminalisation not | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
the deregulation. That's the really important point to get across this | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
morning. There is a concern, though, the idea - if there's no criminality | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
involved, a woman trying to get a late-term abortion, for example, how | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
do you - what could be the impact there? Well, of course, we want | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
women to be able to access services for abortion early on. That's the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
thing that most people would say would be sensible. I think we need | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
to recognise that even in very conservative countries and Catholic | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
countries, like Poland, women are not criminalised for abortion. In | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
the United States, women are not criminalised for abortion. We have | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
one of the most punitive regimes in Europe by having that 1861 act, | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
which says women can go to prison for life. I think most people now | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
would say, as in your package, this is such a sensitive, emotional | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
subject that really do we want the criminal law to be underpinning it? | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
Or do we think, actually, it's much better for doctors, their regulatory | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
bodies and the nurses' regulatory bodies to be responsible for making | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
sure that the regulations Parliament sets in place and best professional | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
clinical practice are the way that abortions should operate today, not | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
holding over a woman that she could go to prison for life. You | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
mentioned, of course, that for the individual, you know, extremely | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
sensitive, very personal decision being taken. But also in terms of | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
the subject matter and how and when it's discussed, that's problematic | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
too. It raises very strong emotions and sometimes, I believe, you have | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
had some problems with attention from people just because you're | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
raising the issue. Yes. I mean, it's 50 years on since Parliament last | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
discussed this in the Abortion Act of '67. As a politician now, I'm | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
well used to getting all sorts of abusive messages through social | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
immediate in particular, but of course, it's an emotional, emotive | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
subject. I've been called a baby killer for even raising the fact | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
that we ought to decriminalise. We know in other parts of the world, | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
Canada, Australia, parts of Australia, this has already | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
happened. We haven't seen an increase in late-term abortions. I | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
think it's right and sensible that MPs have an opportunity, 50 years | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
after the '67 act, to say, is the law still up today and does it apply | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
to what we think should happen in our society? Being a politician in | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
2017 can be tough, but you have to do what you think is right. Diana | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
Johnson, thank you very much for your time. | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
9. 16am. You're watching Breakfast. Now to Louise who has the weekend | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
weather for us. Good morning. Morning. I started off earlier on | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
saying this weekend was a tale of two halves. Today is definitely the | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
best of the weather. We have some rain across Scotland as we speak. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
But a good deal of dry but cloudy weather elsewhere. And it is an | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
improving picture in Scotland today. Make the most of today's weather. It | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
will be a completely different story for tomorrow. We've seen some | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
beautiful sunshine already across the skies of London. This is west | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
London, near Wimbledon. There's quite a lot of cloud around from | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
that weather front in Scotland. This is was the Highlands just a few | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
hours ago. The cloud will break up and you should get sunshine later | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
on. This weather front continues to sink its way steadily southwards. | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
Also hopefully the cloud will break up a little bit further south as | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
well. So, for 9am, yes, we still have showery rain in Scotland. You | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
can see already that front sitting close to the borders. Drizzly bits | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
and pieces into Northern Ireland first thing. The same too for | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
north-west England. Quite a lot of cloud generally. Poor visibility, | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
coastal and hill fog. But things should gradually improve, | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
particularly further south. Already we've seen that sunshine into London | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
and hopefully, some of that cloud breaking back close towards the | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Midlands, South Wales will have some brightness into the afternoon and | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
the temperatures will respond. We could see highs of around 17 | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
degrees, 63 Fahrenheit. But mid-teens generally. Where that | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
weather front, though a weak affair, there's sunshine to the far north of | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
Scotland. We could see drizzle for Middlesbrough. Lincoln City fans, | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
I'm sure you don't care what the weather will do, but perfect weather | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
conditions. Sunshine coming through for your match against Arsenal. Not | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
looking too bad for the Six Nations. At Twickenham, similar weather | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
conditions to Rome, would you believe it? ! Overnight tonight, | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
there will be a lot of cloud. There'll be poor visibility, yet | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
again, showery rain moves its way steadily eastwards and then, | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
replaced by another weather front pushing in from the wings. That | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
brings heavy, persistent rain. Sunday looks a dismal start to the | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
day for many of us. A lot of cloud, wet weather around. It's going to | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
take its time before both those weather fronts clear away steadily | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
eastwards. That means that we could see gradual improvement across | :18:34. | :18:36. | |
Northern Ireland, western Scotland, Wales, south-west England, maybe | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
some sunshine into the afternoon here, a scattering of showers. But | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
for much of the Eastern half of England it's grey and grim and | :18:44. | :18:45. | |
feeling cooler than today. Enjoy. For refugees who have made | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
the journey from Syria, creating a new life for themselves | :18:54. | :18:55. | |
in the UK can be very difficult. Imad Alarnab first made | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
a living repairing cars, before his past career | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
as a chef was discovered. Now, he's been bringing a taste | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
of his home country to London, This is where Imad Alarnab feels | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
most at home, making supper for 40. For 15 years, Imad Alarnab ran three | :19:07. | :19:19. | |
restaurants in Damascus, I mean, our restaurants are closed | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
now, because of the war. We had to leave in | :19:29. | :19:36. | |
2015, in July 2015. You know, the most hard part was | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
leaving your family behind. And while Imad had to leave his home | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
and his family, the cooking Three months, ten countries, | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
running, cycling, taking a train, a boat, before finally arriving | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
on the steps of a church in Calais. I was on the steps of | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
the church for 64 days. Once here, Imad was given refugee | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
status, which allowed him to work I met him and heard his story | :20:11. | :20:27. | |
and it became very clear that he was in London and trying | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
to do everything he could to make ends meet, and I heard | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
he was selling cars, and I felt really sad knowing | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
that he had this huge passion I just knew that there was more | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
that we could do as a community I didn't really know what it | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
would look like or what it would feel like but I knew that | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
within my group of friends and within the broader network, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
there was something we could do to help bring him back | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
into the food scene. With 36 hours of preparation, | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
Syrian food comes to a pop-up It's been wonderful, | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
the chicken in particular was really The lamb, the lamb was really | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
good, really tender. The chicken is cooked to perfection, | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
it's moist, which is hard Thank you for coming | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
for the first time! this is Breakfast from BBC News. 9. | :21:23. | :21:46. | |
21am. Let's look at this morning's papers. Tim Walker is here. Morning. | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
Good morning. What's caught your eye this morning. There's a lot to go | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
at. It's difficult for a former Prime Minister not to end up like | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
Harry Enfield, saying, you didn't want to do that, did you. David | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
Cameron has fallen into the trick of being lip synced at the war memorial | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
event on Thursday, apparently telling Sir Michael Fallon that he | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
thought it was idiotic to go back on the pledge in relation to national | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
insurance contributions. A lip-reader has managed to work out | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
what he was saying? You could see the word "stupid" because it's | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
rather obvious. Can you do that for the benefit of the cam ra. If you're | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
saying the word stupid, it's a clear enunciation. And he hasn't denied | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
it. It's always awkward being a former Prime Minister, particular | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
when you're in the same party. John Major talked about Mrs Thatcher | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
being a back seat driver. Mrs Thatcher, oftening, had Ed -- of | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
course, had Edward Heath in that continual sulk. Tony Blair and | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Gordon Brown, it was always awkward between them. It's the friendly fire | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
you have to worry about, particularly when you're caught off | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
camera saying what you actually think. There was another picture of | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
Tony Blair sitting, looking strangely isolated at one of the | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
other occasions, I think the unveiling of the war memorial. There | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
was a man behind going like this. It's the off stuff, it's the things | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
that we say when we don't know people are listening that are most | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
scary. The next story you picked for us is from the telegraph. Yes, no | :23:22. | :23:29. | |
the Guardian. Bernie Sanders. A grim warning here from Bernie sanders, | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
the former Democrat contender, saying Donald Trump is a path | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
logical liar. What worries him is that Trump now, 50 days into his | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
presidency, in a calculated way is attacking all the pillars of public | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
life, the media, judiciary, all the thinks necessary to sustain our | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
system. He says, good advice in life generally, despair is not an option. | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
It's quite a personal story as well. Someone would say, the Guardian | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
would love this narrative relative to the Trump administration. He's | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
not the first person who ticked off the boxes about certain kinds of | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
behaviour. What's interesting the etiquette used to be, you never got | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
former presidential contenders, former Presidents, existing | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
President attacking a former President. This man doesn't play by | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
any rules, so all bets are off. Sticking with the President, the | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
next two is it in the Times? Lord Finkelstein. Oh, where are we? Have | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
we got that one? He says, why does Donald Trump go to such | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
extraordinary lengths with that combover of his. He was getting off | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
Air Force One, hair force one you might say, that whole thing, it | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
tipped up in the wind in a single... Like a lid. Absolutely. To his brain | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
or what there counts for a brain. But he says it's necessary for | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
Presidents to make a big thing about their hair, because there has not | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
been a bald headed President since 1956 and that was Eisenhower. He was | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
campaigning against another bawledy. We are saying that for a man, hair | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
is important? Yeah but it shouldn't look so ridiculous. I remember | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
somebody saying once to John Wayne. Is that real hair? Yeah, it's real | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
hair, not my hair. Make a joke about it. It seems to me, for a long time, | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
when we knew Donald Trump in his previous life, television presenter | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
and that character, we were fascinated with his hair. Since he's | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
become President Trump, not surprising, you have to stop talking | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
about it. It is what it is. That's what he's like and move on. There's | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
more important things to talk about when he's President. I love the | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
photo call with the eagle, the eagle was fascinated and tried to pull it | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
off. Let it go. I'm a fan of bald. Embrace the bald. It's good. Let's | :25:49. | :25:56. | |
have a look at the final story. These adorable things are called | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
quockers. They are miniature kangaroos. They are proving a star | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
attraction. Samsung named them the world's cutest animal. They've | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
worked out how to appear most fetchingly in a selfie. They are on | :26:15. | :26:20. | |
the endangered species list, but these are multiplying, doing | :26:21. | :26:22. | |
incredibly well. They've adapted their schedules. They normally sleep | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
at night, so they can be on hand for the tourists. The tourist numbers | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
are going up from 90 thousand not so long ago to 600,000. All I would say | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
is that I hope they work out how to take the pictures themselves, | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
because I remember that wonderful story about a monkey that allegedly | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
took a photograph. It went to court and it was found that the monkey | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
owned the copyright to the picture, worth many thousands of pounds. | :26:47. | :26:49. | |
There's something about the way they look. It's like they're grinning the | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
whole time. This fact file here tells us that nocturnal animals can | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
survive without food and water by living off the fat in their tails. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
How extraordinary. Didn't know that until today. The danger is they're | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
catching illnesses from the human and their natural way of life is | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
being affected by all this stuff. Thank you very much. Lovely to see | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
you Tim. Apologies for us mysteriously disappearing. That was | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
quite a trick. All of us, we were gone, just like that. There was an | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
invisible guest. Then we came back. The magic of television. We're like | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
quockers. This is Breakfast. We're on BBC One until 10am, | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
when Donal Skehan takes over Good morning. I'm fiercely | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
distracted in the studio today by our guests. Our special guest today | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
Martin, you're here to talk about Comic Relief and face your Food | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
Heaven or hell. Tell me about your idea of heaven. Chocolate hazelnut | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
spread on anything. Oh, good. That gives me room to improve. Your hell? | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
Tuna steak. What's wrong with it It's tough, bland. Yukky. You | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
mustn't have had good tuna. That's what I put it down to. Maybe. We | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
have two great chefs here and making his debut Paul, what are you making? | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
We have a lovely hake dish with wild garlic and Southport potted shrimp, | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
things close to my heart, from my region. We have great representation | :28:25. | :28:28. | |
of the north as well, making his return is Nigel, what are we making | :28:29. | :28:34. | |
with you? I've got a king cabbage, much maligned cabbage with a fondue | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
of mussels and cockles. What do you think of that? Sounds lovely. I hope | :28:40. | :28:44. | |
you like the sound of that. See you at 10am. | :28:45. | :28:45. | |
Sounds lovely. Thank you very much. Coming up in the next half hour: | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
He's known for bringing us the wonders of the animal kingdom | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
on TV, and now Sir David Attenborough can add children's | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
storyteller to his CV! We'll hear how a whole | :28:55. | :28:56. | |
new generation is set to be inspired by some of his most famous | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
adventures. Stay with us - Hello, this is Breakfast | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. Coming up, Louise will have the | :29:02. | :29:38. | |
weekend's weather forecast for you. First, a summary of this | :29:39. | :29:41. | |
morning's main news. The cyclist Jess Varnish has told | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
the BBC she feels she was "thrown under the bus" after making | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
in the Daily Mail, claims British Cycling sanitised its own | :29:56. | :29:58. | |
inquiry into the claims. The Olympian told the BBC's | :29:59. | :30:01. | |
sports editor, Dan Roan, she believed the truth | :30:02. | :30:03. | |
was finally coming out. I have been pulled from pillar to | :30:04. | :30:13. | |
post, just to get this and to actually see it was a cover-up is | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
huge. Why do you think they did that? Just to protect themselves and | :30:19. | :30:22. | |
to protect the look of British cycling. It's easier for them to | :30:23. | :30:27. | |
throw me under the bus, rather than the whole of British cycling and for | :30:28. | :30:28. | |
the actual truth to come out. The world is facing its biggest | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
humanitarian crisis since 1945, that's according to the United | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
Nation's humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, who has pleaded | :30:40. | :30:41. | |
for help for people in Yemen, UNICEF has warned 1. 4 million | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
children could starve this year. Pope Francis has said | :30:45. | :30:55. | |
the Catholic Church should consider allowing married men | :30:56. | :30:57. | |
to become priests. Speaking to a German newspaper, | :30:58. | :30:58. | |
he said lifting the ban on married men being ordained would only apply | :30:59. | :31:01. | |
in specific circumstances, like remote areas of the world | :31:02. | :31:04. | |
where priests are in short supply. Police say a prisoner, | :31:05. | :31:08. | |
who climbed onto a roof at Guys Marsh Prison in Dorset | :31:09. | :31:10. | |

Government plans. An amendment to the Digital Economy | :32:08. | :32:10. | |
Bill means it will be illegal to use software to buy | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
thousands of tickets. Music stars including Ed Sheeran | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
have spoken out about the issue. A specialist nanny has been brought | :32:16. | :32:34. | |
in to look after cubs at a zoo. According to keepers he provides | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
snuggling, warmth and what they're saying is a climbable body after | :32:39. | :32:42. | |
their mother rejected them. So it seems like it's all working out | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
well. Everything you could want in life! | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
Mikaries here now. For now, the poor dog doesn't know | :32:52. | :32:55. | |
what happens when the tigers get big. A fair point. They'll change | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
their plans. It's all set up for today. If | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
England torn lose today and France win there could still be five teams | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
in the race but realistically we are down to two. Scotland haven't won at | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
Twickenham since 1983. None of the Scotland players were born then. 34 | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
years ago. That's a good thing, they're young. They can put that | :33:19. | :33:19. | |
right today. The Six Nations title | :33:20. | :33:33. | |
is England's for the taking back after two defeats, | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
and George North was unstoppable, scoring 2 of 3 Welsh tries, | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
and after holding off an Ireland fightback, Jamie Roberts rounded off | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
the win late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
defending to make it 22-9 We knew there was going to be | :33:45. | :33:47. | |
reaction and against one of the best sides in world rugby you have | :33:48. | :33:51. | |
to play like that with There's been a lot of | :33:52. | :33:54. | |
hurt in the camp over I am delighted and proud | :33:55. | :34:00. | |
of the players, they deserve that. They've taken a lot of stick, | :34:01. | :34:04. | |
the coaches and the players alike. We beat a very good Irish side today | :34:05. | :34:07. | |
and I thought we beat them We will look forward to fwld against | :34:08. | :34:18. | |
Scotland with former England captain Mike Tindall in a few minutes. | :34:19. | :34:26. | |
But first in football the FA cup fairytale continues | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
They're the first non-league side in the quarter finals since 1914, | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
and they've already beaten teams from League One, the Championship | :34:33. | :34:35. | |
and the Premier League in this year's competition. | :34:36. | :34:37. | |
Now they are hoping to pile further misery on Arsenal, | :34:38. | :34:39. | |
whatever the odds against them, and their manager Danny Cowley, | :34:40. | :34:41. | |
It's been gradual steps for us which I think is always important whenever | :34:42. | :34:47. | |
you're trying to make progressions and move forward. We're going to | :34:48. | :34:51. | |
look forward to it, for us we have to have a belief that we can win the | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
game. We respect the fact that it might be one in 1,000 pup if that's | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
the odds, we go there expecting it to be that one time. | :35:00. | :35:08. | |
Also Middlesbrough host Manchester City at lunchtime. Tomorrow, league | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
one Millwall travel to Spurs. On Monday, Chelsea are at home to | :35:14. | :35:20. | |
Manchester United. In the Premier League: | :35:21. | :35:40. | |
Norwich have lost patience with their manager. | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
And are hoping finding a replacement, which will | :35:43. | :35:44. | |
push, while Brighton are on course to go up automatically. | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
Anthony Knockaert got the Brighton party going, | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
as they beat Derby 3-0, as the Seagulls moved level | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
on points with Newcastle, at the top of the Championship. | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
Derby have slipped to ten points, off the play-offs. | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
And for the goal of the week, arise Jason Cummings of Hibernian, | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
who put the Scottish Championship leaders, 10 points clear of title | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
rivals Dundee United but he was sent off later for a second booking, | :36:05. | :36:07. | |
when he tried a Maradona hand-style goal. | :36:08. | :36:14. | |
Yohanna Konta has won the battle of the Brits at the Indian Wells | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
It's the first time Konta has met her Fed Cup team-mate | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
Konta struggled at times in the hot California sun | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
The second set was easier for Konta, frustrating for Watson. | :36:27. | :36:33. | |
There are now 97 places between them in the world rankings. | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
So Konta, the world number 11, moves into round 3. | :36:37. | :36:40. | |
In the men's draw Britain's Kyle Edmund is into the second round. | :36:41. | :36:43. | |
He beat Portugal's, Gastao Elias 6-1, 6-3. | :36:44. | :36:48. | |
Dan Evans made light work of his first-round match | :36:49. | :36:50. | |
against Dustin Brown - winning 6-1, 6-1. | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
The British number three will now face Kei Nishikori in round two. | :36:56. | :37:11. | |
In last night's Rugby League, Leeds have ended the winning start | :37:12. | :37:14. | |
of Catalans Dragons, while Super League, newcomers Leigh | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
hammered Huddersfield and Hull FC beat St Helens 24-10, | :37:18. | :37:20. | |
Albert Kelly was the star with two of Hull's three tries. | :37:21. | :37:46. | |
He's the only man to win a World Championship, | :37:47. | :37:49. | |
on a motorbike and then in a car and tributes have been | :37:50. | :37:52. | |
paid to John Surtees, who's died at the age of 83. | :37:53. | :37:54. | |
He started off as a brilliant motorcyclist who dominated, | :37:55. | :37:56. | |
for much of the late 1950s, before then Surtees moved on to four | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
wheels and immediately established himself as a leading figure, | :38:00. | :38:02. | |
winning the Formula 1 World Championship | :38:03. | :38:03. | |
Damon Hill has said what all of us feel. | :38:04. | :38:06. | |
We have lost a true motorsport legend," | :38:07. | :38:08. | |
Our thoughts to his friends and family, of course. Let's go back to | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
the Six Nations. One man who knows about this rivalry with England and | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
Scotland is the former England Tape and World Cup winner from 2003, Mike | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
Tindall himself who joins us from our London studio. Good morning. | :38:23. | :38:28. | |
Good morning. Thank you for joining us. Teams you were in never lost to | :38:29. | :38:31. | |
Scotland at Twickenham because the last time that happened was 1983. Do | :38:32. | :38:36. | |
you feel that could change today given the way we have seen Scotland | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
being entertaining so far and the fact that England keep needing to | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
get out of jail? Being truly English I don't see it happening today, but | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
I think what Vern Cotter has done with this Scotland team and how | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
they've developed over the last three years has been fantastic and | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
they are playing some of the best rugby that's been played in this Six | :38:56. | :38:59. | |
Nations. England are definitely going to be on - they need that | :39:00. | :39:06. | |
test. They've sort of, haven't stuttered but they haven't reached | :39:07. | :39:10. | |
the heights they reached in the autumn and I think moving forward | :39:11. | :39:13. | |
they need a good challenge and Scotland are definitely going to | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
provide that today. I think England are just going to have too much, if | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
you take them as a 23, England's 23 are too strong for Scotland today. A | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
lot could depend on Owen Farrell, he has been the talking point all week | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
after apparently falling over a dog. I am assuming small dogs were never | :39:34. | :39:41. | |
a problem for you! He is clever at mind games, Eddie Jones. Who knows, | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
with Eddie part of the great thing about Eddie is how he plays the | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
media, how he spin it is. He doesn't put pressure on his players. It will | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
be interesting how that works if they lose a couple of games and | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
suddenly the roles are flicked a little bit in terms of he is not on | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
a 17-match winning spree. To say what he said, I think Farrell's | :40:10. | :40:15. | |
going to be fine. He's going through a tough spot in some ways because | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
England haven't sort of continued their level they were at in the | :40:20. | :40:24. | |
autumn, they are still winning, but there are question marks. Having the | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
Vunipolas back is massive, I think they're vital to the team in terms | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
of going forward and how they want to play rugby. That's where I think | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
this game will be won, in terms of - Eddie likes to call them the | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
finishers, so they're probably going to do the job and get England over | :40:44. | :40:51. | |
the line. It's Sally, Mike. I always thought they were substitutes, the | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
finishers, he has a different way of approaching it. It's a unique way. | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
One of the biggest criticisms of Stuart Lancaster was the fact he | :41:00. | :41:02. | |
would change everyone, always use the bench and they were substitutes | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
when Stuart Lancaster talked about them. Now they're finishers, they | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
have apparently a completely different role. But I think that's | :41:10. | :41:13. | |
one of the things Eddie Jones has done perfectly well, he is doing | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
something everyone has done before but tagged it in a different way and | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
everyone's bought into it. In all fairness, even the players have | :41:21. | :41:22. | |
bought into it because when they come on if you look at all the games | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
of this Six Nations England's bench has been crucial to them winning. So | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
whether it's a tag, whether it's an actual job, you are now a finisher, | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
it's worked for England. It's Charlie here, as well. This thing | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
about momentum, the England team, they've got this momentum at the | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
moment. At the beginning of the match Scotland getting some points | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
on the board early could be crucial in terms of the crowd and the way | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
they respond to the England team? Yeah, completely. Generally Scotland | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
are coming down here with the idea they can go away with a win and for | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
the first time in many years I agree. But that first 20 minutes you | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
always want to settle into your game, you want to get a foothold and | :42:10. | :42:17. | |
get possession. I think if Scotland come down and explode for 20 minutes | :42:18. | :42:27. | |
and can get six nil up, 9-0, then the game changes. If England fall | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
into a routine and dominate set piece and line-outs, put possession | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
where they want it, territory where they want it, then it will be a | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
difficult day for Scotland. I think all the conversations around | :42:42. | :42:44. | |
Scotland's team room this week will be about that first 20 minutes, | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
let's get a good foothold and build. But also Scotland have shown is | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
their ability to come back. They have been behind in this Six Nations | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
and then won, even with the Ireland game, with the Wales game. So, they | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
have this backbone at the moment where they're on this upward curve, | :43:06. | :43:08. | |
you talk about winning as a habit, you have two teams confident in | :43:09. | :43:12. | |
their ability coming together and we hope it's a cracker. I think the Six | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
Nations so far every game has been close, every game has been physical | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
and attritional and everything you expect out of a Six Nations game and | :43:21. | :43:23. | |
I don't see it being different today, but I also hope it's going to | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
be a gun-slinger because I think Scotland will go right, we will take | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
you on, which hopefully could kick-start England, as well. Mike, | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
Kenny Logan said earlier he thought Scotland would win by four, what's | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
your prediction? I think it is going to be close. I believe that England | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
have got too much power on the bench and I think England will pull | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
through and six-plus. Wow. Thank you. Great to hear. Obviously a bit | :43:51. | :43:57. | |
of bias on both sides there, but it's allowed. | :43:58. | :44:06. | |
England can equal this amazing world record of 18 consecutive Test wins | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
with New Zealand. Thank you very much. Coverage is on 5 live from 3pm | :44:11. | :44:17. | |
this afternoon. Kick-off is 4pm. How will the weather be for | :44:18. | :44:21. | |
Twickenham and all the sporting occasions. Louise has the details. | :44:22. | :44:26. | |
Perfect, actually. Unfortunately, not so perfect in Cumbria this | :44:27. | :44:33. | |
morning. Cloudy and damp. There is a weather front heading in your | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
direction, so you will see showery outbreaks of rain continuing for | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
much of the afternoon. The front sitting through Scotland and it will | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
continue to push steadily south and east. Behind it an improving picture | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
into Scotland, also decent spells of sunshine into the south. So we could | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
see temperatures around 12, 13 in the far north of Scotland. A better | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
afternoon in comparison to what you have at the moment. Not bad into | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
Northern Ireland. A little bit of cloud and there is the rain sitting | :45:01. | :45:03. | |
through the north of England and North Wales. Further south of that | :45:04. | :45:10. | |
decent spells of sunshine and warm, 16 or 17, it will feel nice at 63 | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
Fahrenheit. Not as warm south and west, maybe more cloud here but | :45:16. | :45:19. | |
nevertheless a decent day for many. For those Lincoln City fans already | :45:20. | :45:23. | |
over the moon about going to play Arsenal, you will be over the moon | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
with this forecast, sunny spells to enjoy the afternoon and evening. | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
For the Six Nations, who would have thought the weather conditions would | :45:32. | :45:35. | |
be the same as Rome, but it's going to be 15 with lots of blue skies and | :45:36. | :45:40. | |
sunshine and light winds. Tonight a different story. The cloud | :45:41. | :45:45. | |
continues to gather again, poor visibility and coastal and hill fog | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
and showery rain before persistent rain pushes into the west. Sunday is | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
going to be a grey and wet start for many. Some of the rain heavy in | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
places. The weather fronts straddled across the country will drift | :46:02. | :46:04. | |
eastwards, so there is room for improvement into the afternoon. Not | :46:05. | :46:08. | |
a bad day in prospect through Northern Ireland. Much of western | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
Scotland, Wales and south-west England eventually you will see | :46:14. | :46:16. | |
sunshine. A risk of isolated showers. Across eastern England it's | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
grey. In comparison to today 11, 13 is not going to feel great, | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
particularly if we get 16 or 17. So enjoy today if you can. Across to | :46:26. | :46:29. | |
the west, enjoy tomorrow, as well. I will be back tomorrow. Back to you | :46:30. | :46:30. | |

The Deaf children are limited | :46:33. | :46:44. | |
by people's expectations and not by their innate abilities, | :46:45. | :46:46. | |
that's according to the organisers of a conference on education | :46:47. | :46:48. | |
for deaf children. Speakers are gathering this weekend | :46:49. | :46:50. | |
to discuss how our schools can change to better | :46:51. | :46:52. | |
benefit deaf pupils. In a moment we'll speak | :46:53. | :46:54. | |
to the organisers, as well as Danny Lane, | :46:55. | :46:56. | |
a pianist in the quartet of deaf But first, let's | :46:57. | :47:01. | |
listen to them action. We're joined now by Wendy McCracken, | :47:02. | :47:24. | |
the UK's only prove of deaf education as well as Danny Lane, | :47:25. | :47:44. | |
The Pianist we just saw perform. Danny's interpreter | :47:45. | :47:47. | |
Kieran Seabrook is also here. Morning to all of you. Dan, explain | :47:48. | :47:55. | |
what we were watching there, this was all the people in that quartet | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
are deaf, explain how that works for us. | :48:02. | :48:15. | |
We have always performed, so we did a recital and then the forte idea | :48:16. | :48:24. | |
came about. Then we started performing in different venues and | :48:25. | :48:28. | |
wanted to continue with it. What are the particular challenges of playing | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
with an ensemble when you have profound deafness? I don't think the | :48:35. | :48:40. | |
challenge is us performing together, but I think the main challenge is | :48:41. | :48:47. | |
trying to get to venues. Mainstream venues, because we really want to | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
encourage them to be more inclusive, more diverse and including something | :48:54. | :49:01. | |
like the Forte Ensemble, we want to raise the profile. It's not really | :49:02. | :49:05. | |
the hearing is the barrier, I think probably the attitude or the lack of | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
awareness. It's important that they get involved because there is | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
outstanding musicians out there. Wendy, it's probably inspirational | :49:17. | :49:19. | |
for lots of people to see Danny what he can do and what he has achieved. | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
What are the problems that children with limited hearing, deaf children | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
have in school? One of the main problems is what Danny said, it's | :49:28. | :49:31. | |
people's perceptions of what do we think a deaf child looks like now? | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
They're amazingly diverse, we pk them up in the UK very early. Most | :49:36. | :49:42. | |
are in mainstream. But people think they're deaf, perhaps they can't do | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
music, or foreign languages. What they can't do is hear like you and | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
me. So we limit them by our expectations. And that's what we | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
want to challenge. How do you fix that, is that something that | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
happens, is it a teaching thing or from their own families, it's like a | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
self-limiting thing? It is, I think, most people in society wouldn't | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
imagine Forte exist, they wouldn't imagine deaf children can. We want | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
to say actually they can do anything. With good support from a | :50:13. | :50:17. | |
teacher, with great amplification we have now and good support for | :50:18. | :50:22. | |
communication they can do anything. Danny, what was your experience as a | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
child of people maybe saying you can't do this, you can't do that? I | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
think I was quite lucky being brought up in a family that | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
encouraged me to take an interest in music. As I got older perhaps | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
looking for a place where I could study A-level music there were a lot | :50:44. | :50:51. | |
of teachers who said I am not quite sure if you can access the test, but | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
it was like to me I had to I had indicate them about how I would -- | :50:58. | :51:01. | |
it was to me to educate them about how I would access that. I went on | :51:02. | :51:09. | |
to university. I do remember being at university and being in the music | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
department and there would be students coming up to me saying do | :51:14. | :51:17. | |
you think you right be in the wrong department? No, I am a music | :51:18. | :51:23. | |
student. It takes a short while for people to come around to the idea | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
that I am a musician. Can you remember the moment as a child when | :51:28. | :51:32. | |
you realised that music was your thing? Yeah, I think it was very | :51:33. | :51:40. | |
natural for me to take part in music. In my primary school there | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
would be a teacher there who encouraged all children to play | :51:46. | :51:53. | |
brass instruments and I was taught music, even in the maths lesson, | :51:54. | :51:57. | |
there was that going on, which is unusual, but it was quite natural in | :51:58. | :52:04. | |
the school, music was everywhere. So, it wasn't unusual to me. I am | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
sure you probably get asked lots of questions about how deaf people can | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
appreciate music. Can you explain how it is someone who is profoundly | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
deaf can either appreciate music or even play music. I do have some | :52:22. | :52:33. | |
hearing but listening is only one part of the musical experience | :52:34. | :52:35. | |
because you have the physical experience of expressing a piece of | :52:36. | :52:45. | |
music on the piano so something is energetic, you physically, something | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
different that is an experience itself. Also the composing. You can | :52:49. | :52:57. | |
read a score. Performing together as a group like Forte, we have the | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
challenge of working and the social aspect. Is there anywhere else in | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
the world that gets this right, any other country that gets education of | :53:10. | :53:15. | |
deaf children right? Well, there are very good examples in industrialised | :53:16. | :53:18. | |
countries of deaf education, but I think the UK leads. I think we have | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
high expectations, I think we have great training, most of Europe you | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
are not required to train to teach the deaf, and here it's mandatory, | :53:27. | :53:34. | |
that's why Manchester University runs the course. Thank you for | :53:35. | :53:35. | |
coming in to talk to us. Sir David Attenborough has been | :53:36. | :53:41. | |
bringing the natural world Now the veteran broadcaster | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
is moving into smartphone apps to inspire the next generation | :53:46. | :53:48. | |
of nature lovers. Five of the 90-year-old's past | :53:49. | :53:51. | |
adventures have been redrawn as cartoons and made | :53:52. | :53:53. | |
into an interactive It helps them learn to read | :53:54. | :53:56. | |
and teaches them about wildlife. Let's take a quick look at the game | :53:57. | :54:03. | |
and some footage that inspired it. There is more meaning and mutual | :54:04. | :54:18. | |
understanding in exchanging a glance of the gorilla than any other animal | :54:19. | :54:25. | |
I know. This is how they spend most of their time, lounging on the | :54:26. | :54:32. | |
ground, grooming one another. Sometimes they even allow others to | :54:33. | :54:34. | |
join in. Gorillas are so big they break | :54:35. | :55:03. | |
bushes when they walk and sit down. We use these clues to track the | :55:04. | :55:08. | |
gentle giants through the jungle. Tap the broken bushes to help us | :55:09. | :55:20. | |
find the way. Top field skills. The gorillas were definitely here. | :55:21. | :55:28. | |
We are joined now by illustrator Will Rose and Laura Howard from the | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
BBC's Natural History Unit. It's one of those obvious things, now that | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
you have done it I think gosh, you need to introduce this legendary man | :55:39. | :55:43. | |
to young people. I guess it's the perfect way. Absolutely. To us it | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
always felt like something we wanted to do within the Natural History | :55:48. | :55:56. | |
Unit, we approached CBeebies. David is a gifted story-teller and has a | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
lovely voice within the app it felt like a natural and obvious thing to | :56:01. | :56:04. | |
bring those stories to life for young children. We can see behind us | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
one of the images, it's one of yours, talk us through the look and | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
feel that you were trying to get. Well, firstly I was extremely | :56:16. | :56:18. | |
honoured, this is a dream job for me, a massive wildlife fan so I was | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
chuffed to be on here. Laura had seen some of my work, I had done | :56:24. | :56:31. | |
animation with a bird guide thing and it was bright and colourful and | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
generally it's in that vein, I thought let's go for the same thing | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
and hopefully I can come up with something nice they're going to like | :56:40. | :56:43. | |
and captures David which was a bit daunting personally. How do he even | :56:44. | :56:48. | |
start to capture him? I tried to simplify it, I simplify most stuff I | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
do. Whether it is humans or animals, I try and keep it to a couple of | :56:53. | :56:57. | |
lines and dots and stuff. Plus, you have his lovely voice over the top. | :56:58. | :57:00. | |
Hopefully that carries it through. Yes, it's interesting. When you see | :57:01. | :57:06. | |
it and first hear his voice it really brings it to life, the images | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
because his voice immediately you are taken to a kind of a place and | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
moment. He has recorded a lot of parts of this for you, separately | :57:17. | :57:21. | |
from what he has done before. We picked five stories from his life, | :57:22. | :57:27. | |
five real adventures, we didn't need to fabricate adventures for David. | :57:28. | :57:33. | |
We wrote the script and he voiced them. We recognise kids probably | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
won't have heard of him but when reading that's when the treat of the | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
voice is found. He is enthusiastic about drawing anyone into what he | :57:43. | :57:45. | |
does. Absolutely. To tell the stories about the natural world to a | :57:46. | :57:48. | |
young audience, the next generation of nature lovers is something he | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
wanted to do. So you had to pick five iconic moments. Yeah, you have | :57:53. | :57:58. | |
to. How did you get down to that? We wanted a range, everything from the | :57:59. | :58:01. | |
famous gorilla encounter which was obviously a lovely big mammal and a | :58:02. | :58:23. | |
great adventure, through to David and the giant dinosaurs. Will, have | :58:24. | :58:28. | |
you got a favourite? It's hard because we are still finishing some | :58:29. | :58:31. | |
off, I must say we have lovely other ones to come. Gorillas was the first | :58:32. | :58:36. | |
one. That's kind of our baby in a way. The others are just as good. | :58:37. | :58:42. | |
They're all good really. It's active now, is it? Yes, the first story | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
went live yesterday and four more to come throughout the year. Thank you | :58:47. | :58:50. | |
so much for telling us about it. That's it from us this morning. | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
Breakfast will be back tomorrow morning from 6am. Bye. | :58:55. | :58:59. |
