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 -

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

The cyclist Jess Varnish has told the BBC she feels she was "thrown

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.

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

late in the second half, making the most of some tired Irish

We knew there was going to be a bit of action, and against one of the

best sides in world rugby, you have to play like that with or without

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

excellent players in attack and defence. They will have to think

clearly to get them to start adapting to our play. They are a

think that is always important whenever you are trying to make the

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

fact it might be one in a thousand, but if that is what the odds are, we

tournament in America. It's the first time Konta has

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,

moves into round 3. In the men's draw Britain's Kyle

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

that, he moved on to four wheels and immediately established himself as a

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

: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

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

:45:10.: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

:46:11.:46:15.

weather around. Eagles broke might be cloudy, but the sunshine should

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

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

of Things can help the city We have pockets of increased rates

: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

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

a role to play in the fight But the big pollution-busting

powers lay with local Back in London, I'm checking out

a pollution monitoring device With this water tank,

they can launch their prototype. Oops, I knocked a thing

into your tank. They've even have

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

of them into an area of concern. This is our response to extreme

environments or post-disaster applications such as water sampling

:56:39.:56:47.

in floods, or after toxic spills, or oil spills,

of applications and capability to do sampling with an automated,

low-cost tool brings an enormous values compared to many other

methods such as the human going there with a full

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

may not be able to get the information that local

people need, so combining During a dive, the AquaMAV fills

the drone back upwards, And then the wings unfold and it

comes out of the water and it beautifully becomes this

flying birdlike thing. You describe it in

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

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 -

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

protesting about changes to the prison regime, is said to have been

:06:10.:06:11.

drunk. Protests in South Korea have left

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

Tickets to see some of our favourite artists can sell out in just

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.

This is currently legal, but now the government

while resale sites will face harsher measures if they do not prove

they are taking action to deal with the touts.

It is hoped these measures will curb the growing power of secondary

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,

it is an extraordinary discovery. A specialist nanny has been called

: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.

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.

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.

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.

will be live on BBC Radio 5 live You're watching

:44:39.:44:41.

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.

Do let us know what you think about the visual presentation

:56:01.:56:10.

of television news, or any aspect of BBC News,

:56:11.:56:12.

stay tuned for details on how to contact us.

:56:13.:56:19.

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.

With that plea, we leave you this week.

:59:04.:59:27.

If you want to share your opinions on BBC News and current affairs

:59:28.:59:33.

We'll be back to hear your thoughts about BBC News coverage

:59:34.:59:50.

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.

: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.

:09:07.:09:11.

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

goodness. She shows me the hate

: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

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

to the streets following the removal The president was ousted

:32:33.:32:34.

from office yesterday More protests are expected later

today. Online touts who bulk buy tickets

:32:38.:32:45.

and sell them for inflated prices will face unlimited fines under

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

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

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 -

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

yesterday following a corruption scandal. More protests are expected

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

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

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:

:28:49.: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.

before taking his clothes off and starting a fire,

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

defending to make it 22-9 We knew there was going to be

to play like that with There's been a lot of

: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.

And are hoping finding a replacement, which will

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.

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.

He's the only man to win a World Championship,

: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

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

adventures have been redrawn as cartoons and made

into an interactive It helps them learn to read

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.
