15/03/2017 Breakfast

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

16 million people face starvation in East Africa,

as a major fundraising campaign is launched to help them.

Drought and conflict are being blamed for the crisis,

which is being called the worst famine in a generation.

Good morning, it is Wednesday 15 March.

Also this morning: Levels of identity fraud in the UK

New figures show people under 30 are a growing target.

Snowstorm Stella brings large parts of the eastern United States

Up to 50 million people could be affected.

Driverless vehicles are set to take to our roads,

but a report out today warns we are not ready

In sport: Leicester defy logic once again.

They knock out Sevilla, and qualify for the quarter-finals

Also this morning: After millions of views online, the BBC interviewee

whose children stole the show talks about his family's sudden

Certainly never had anything like this in our life before.

You know, got to the point when we had to put turn off the phones, and

Facebook and Twitter and that sort of stuff.

Good morning, from a cloudy and chilly St James's Park in London.

That is a very similar condition to what we are experiencing across the

UK at the moment. It is cloudy, some of us murky, with some drizzle in

the north-west. But the sun will come out, particularly across

eastern parts of Wales and the Midlands, highs of 16 or maybe 17

today. I will have more in 15 minutes.

First, our main story: A major appeal has been launched to help 16

million people facing starvation, in what is being described

as the worst famine in a generation in East Africa.

The Disasters Emergency Committee, which is made up of 13 UK aid

agencies, says drought and conflict are to blame for the crisis,

which has left tens of thousands of children at risk

The United Nations says the crisis in the four affected countries,

Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, is the worst

Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale has more.

The Disasters Emergency Committee says drought and conflict has left

millions in East Africa in immediate need of food, water and medical

treatment. Across South Sudan, Somalia, can you and Ethiopia, it

says 60 million people don't know when they are next going to eat --

Kenya. More than 800,000 children are severely malnourished, and some

are even eating leaves. The 13 aid agencies that make up the Disasters

Emergency Committee are already on the ground, delivering clean

drinking water and treatment for malnutrition. But they are now

appealing to the public for funds so that they can do even more to help

these people. The government has already promised ?200 million in

emergency aid for South Sudan and Somalia, and the International

Development Secretary said her department would match the first ?5

million donated by the public and the new appeal. She also urged other

countries to follow reason's bleed, before the crisis became what she

called a stain on our collective conscience. The world, she said,

cannot afford to wait. We will be speaking

to the chief executive of the Disasters Emergency Committee

in around half an hour's time. Identity fraud is at an all-time

high in the UK, with more young That is according to new data

analysed by the fraud Identity fraud involves criminals

using someone's personal information to obtain money,

products or services. Our home affairs correspondent

Danny Shaw reports. Stolen identity, civil servant Lou

Croydon was the victim of one of Britain's fastest growing crimes.

His name, address, date of birth and banking details were obtained by a

thief who pinched post from his letterbox. Armed with the

information, the fraudster applied for a bank card and then used to go

on a spending spree. When you first find out that it has happened, it is

quite shocking. And then you get very worried because you wonder what

else they might have done without personal details. If it is only

opening bank accounts that is one thing, but you wonder what else they

have done with it. Have they signed up to websites, have they got

passport applications? So it is a very troubling experience. According

to the fraud prevention service Cifas there were almost 173,000

cases of identity fraud last year, the highest total ever. The number

of victims under the age of 21 increased by more than a third, with

the Midlands and the north-east of England registering the highest

identity fraud increases year on year. Cifas has produced a film

warning people to be careful about how much information they reveal in

public and online. Fraudsters are adept at exploiting information

posted on social media sites. It advises people to use passwords,

privacy settings and antivirus software on their computers, and to

shred important paper documents. The Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay

has been interviewed by police under caution over the expenses

he claimed during his Mr MacKinlay beat the former

Ukip leader Nigel Farage Several other Tory MPs

are also being investigated. Our political correspondent

Iain Watson is in Westminster. Well, I think it is certainly a

matter of how serious the police are taking these allegations around

election expenses, but they interviewed an MP under caution for

up to six hours over the weekend. But I think it is also significant

because ultimately if, and I do stress, if, there is any sign that

MPs can be disqualified in the elections rerun, and Nigel Farage,

the UKIP leader, was defeated by the Conservatives' Craig Mackinlay in

Kent, he has a majority of just over 3000 so it is a tight seat in the

former UKIP leader has expressed an interest in standing there again.

Now, basically at the centre of this, we have seen Craig Mackinlay's

election expenses, they are below the legal limit, but an

investigation suggests a further ?18,000 was spent, and party

officials went there to try and see off the threat from Nigel Farage,

and the allegation, of course, is that this was some way of trying to

get around the election rules, which of course is denied by the

Conservatives. But the reason it is potentially a big story is Theresa

May has a very narrow Commons majority and there are 17

investigations going on around the country. In a leaked e-mail, another

Conservative MP suggested that he and his colleagues have been cast

adrift by party officials in London, who were more interested in covering

their own backs. Obviously the Conservative Party have said they

are clearly cooperating with investigations, but I think it is a

measure of how seriously those MPs are taking those investigations that

they are now expressing their frustration. They thought, allegedly

privately, but now very much in public. No doubt we will keep a very

close eye on that in this programme and throughout the week as well.

A rare glimpse into President Trump's private finances has

emerged, with the leak of his 2005 tax return.

Mr Trump refused to make the documents public

during his election campaign, but the US TV network MSNBC has now

In terms of what's on here, let me give you the basics.

Aside from the numbers being large, these pages are straightforward.

He paid - it looks like $38 million in taxes.

He took a big write-down of $103 million, more on that later.

If you add up the lines for income, he made more than $150 million

The release led to an angry response from the White House,

which has said, "You know you are desperate for ratings

when you are willing to violate the law to push a story about two

pages of tax returns from over a decade ago."

Large parts of the East Coast of the United States has been

brought to a halt because of heavy blizzards caused by snowstorm

Around 50 million people across the country have been warned

to expect further severe weather, and the German Chancellor,

Angela Merkel, has been forced to postpone her trip to Washington

It is nicknamed the city that never sleeps.

But even New York's most determined have struggled to carry

There was little sign of large crowds of tourists in Times Square,

Instead, many headed to Central Park.

I've been around snow maybe once or twice in my life,

We had a snowball fight, and it was pretty cold,

so we might get some hot chocolate, now, honestly.

New Yorkers might be used to heavy snowstorms,

but authorities have warned them to stay indoors.

Upstate, conditions were even more severe, with 20 inches falling

Across the east coast, airport runways were covered

in white, and the departure boards red, with thousands

Much of the nation's capital was also paralysed,

The city is famous for its cherry blossoms in spring, but this storm

Further north, they were struggling to dig their way out in Chicago,

and also in Boston, where the school buses had to make way

Until now, much of America's north-east region had enjoyed

but storm Stella has delivered a harsh reminder that winter

It looks spectacular, but I understand of course causing issues

as well. It is the news interview that

everyone's been talking about. Last week, Professor Robert Kelly's

family became an internet sensation when his children crashed his

appearance on BBC News. Well, they agreed to come

back on the BBC to talk Our correspondent

Sangita Myska has more. Professor Robert Kelly,

an expert on South Korea, offering expert analysis

of global events. But it was the unexpected

entrance of his daughter, Marion, who was to create

a global event of its own. I think one of your

children's just walked in. To avoid being upstaged,

the Professor tried a gentle push. Only for Marion's brother

to enter on wheels. Was he hoping that, just perhaps,

no-one had noticed after all? A perfectly timed slam of the door

ensured this video went viral. Professor Kelly and his family

were invited back onto live BBC

television, only for Marion to once So, in spite of it all,

did they find it as funny as we did? And we've watched it

multiple times, too, and our families have

watched it as well. Everybody we know seems to think

it's pretty hysterical. So yeah, we understand why

people find it enjoyable, catching a regular family

off-guard, so yes. Just a regular family,

whose off-guard moments have become In the last half-hour, have you seen

the video of the news conference in South Korea? Welcome to 2017, isn't

it? Are brilliant, unscripted, wonderful video. And she was in a

hippity hoppity mood. And in that interview she starts chewing a toy

hammer halfway through and they have to remove her from the screen again.

She is just brilliant. I did have to do a double check, but Kat was here

yesterday. A memorable performance from me. And what about Leicester.

Speaking of memorable performances, amazing stuff from Leicester. Here

they are struggling in the Premier league after winning the title last

season, and some kind of vestige of that logic defying season has

obviously lingered. There is something left in Leicester which

means they can produce performances like they did last night, to come

back, defeat Sevilla and get to the quarterfinals of the Champions

League. And the thing with Leicester is you can't say that they won't.

Another chapter in the remarkable story of Leicester City unfolds,

as they beat Sevilla to move into the quarter-finals

It was another great evening in the Premier League champions'

history, winning 2-0 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate,

to take their place in Friday's quarter-final draw.

Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton the scorers.

The Football Association have charged Manchester United

with failing to control their players during Monday's FA Cup

quarter-final at Chelsea, after Ander Herrera's red card.

Nicky Henderson became the most successful trainer

of the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Jockey Noel Fehily was on board Buveur D'Air, winning by 4.5

And Muirfield golf club will admit women as members for the first time,

It means the R will reinstate Muirfield on the list

They were taken off that list when members rejected female

Added makes front page of the Financial Times today, too. We will

look at the papers shortly. Carol is at St James's Park

for us this morning. But before we hear about

the weather, we've got Have a listen to actually Harriet,

here. -- Ainsley. Carol received a TRIC award

for Best Weather Presenter. We can see her here

accepting her award. Every time she wins it, we are

equally at excited. That is a triple hat-trick! Congratulations, Carol!

It was an early start to you. Good morning to you all. What an honour

and a pleasure it was. I can tell you that I did not expect to win it.

So thank you very much for the TRIC Award. Look at the lovely spring

blossom behind me here at St James's Park. It is Chile, though, and

fairly cloudy. This will change as we go through the day to stop for

many of us, it will brighten. It will be milder dry. -- chilly.

Sergei take a look around the charts, what we have this morning is

quite a cloudy start. You will find that it will brighten up around

central and eastern areas. At the west, we are likely to hold onto

some cloud and murkiness. Around the coastline is around Scotland in

particular. They was this patchy light rain and some drizzle. And it

will still be quite windy, especially across the Northern

Isles. But nothing like we had yesterday afternoon. So this

afternoon in Scotland, it will store the windy in the north. We are

looking at patchy ) drizzle in the west. But the rest of Scotland,

bright and sunny spells. Across northern England and the north-west,

more cloud, but for Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, at some sunshine. The

Midlands will seas on Cloudbreak yuppie sunshine. It is a clear

bright skies. As we drift to the south-west committee will hold onto

a bit more cloud as we go through day. Maybe some coastal mist. For

Wales, too, you will see some murkiness around the coast.

Especially the West Coast around Cardigan Bay. It is Wales will see

some height averages of 16 or 17, just like the Midlands. In northern

England, the influence of the weather front will make it cloudy,

but there could be so bright spells. Heading through the evening in

overnight, we will see more cloud building, and generally, it will be

a cloudy night. A murky one. Still with some patchy rain in the

north-west, and also some hellfire, sea fog, and some low level for

coming in across the eastern side of the east in Channel and south-east

generally. That will turn to ease away tomorrow and it will turn

could. A weather front is coming south, taking rain with it. Behind

it, literature will go down and we will see an extra sunshine and

showers. Some of the showers will be wintry, especially in the hills.

Ahead of that, we hold on to the brighter and milder conditions. On

Friday, what we have been talking about is Storm stellar in the

states. This is what is left of it coming our way. -- Radu. It splits

into over the Atlantic, and then we have the rain moving south-west hill

snow in Scotland. Not unusual at this stage. But that is all the snow

we are expecting. The rate is not falling into cold air like it was in

New York. We'll see the second batch coming through on night. That leads

to an unsettled period. Thank you so much about, Carol. I

love the jacket, the cherry blossoms, and they too are the Best

Weather Presenter ever. Six on the trough, 19 total. Everybody else

should ever give up. -- everybody else should just give up. We are

even more excited that she is, I think. She expected. In a nice way.

Because we all know that she is the best. She is the best. Let's look at

the papers after the court heads. Here are the headlines this morning:

-- quarter heads. UK aid agencies launch a fundraising

appeal to help millions of people Identity fraud in the UK

is at a record high, with more young people

becoming victims. Lucky I didn't wind, because I could

not control it. I am so excitable. Come down. You are over excitable,

today. -- calm. Can you be over excitable? Identikit can. You can.

-- ie do not think you can. The Getty papers, here we have the

Cheltenham Festival. So lots on that in many papers, as well. The Daily

Mail has quite a few stories about Prince William. He has been on a ski

holiday. And they're talking about Facebook, Google, Twitter, and so

on, being shamed for failing to tackle online hate, child abuse and

more. As you said, on the Financial Times, there is the story about

Muirhead allowing women members. They voted against that a while ago,

but now they are back on the Open rota. And on the Times, they have

Angelina Jolie, who was nervous before her first appearance as a

visiting professor. And that is the front page of the Daily Telegraph,

too, and they have a picture of the Cheltenham Festival that, which

started yesterday. Who wants to go first? In the sun, lots of coverage

of lesser's amazing when, but this is the best picture the papers at

the moment, I think. Maradona Hand bawling in a 5-a-side match to

promote the draw for the Fifa under 20 World Cup. Azarenka, there is the

original picture. That was when he scored the goal to beat England in

the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Almost an exact replica of that again in

this 5-a-side tournament. Just the other hand, isn't it? I am impressed

he can do it with both. Very talented. So you know we have a

figure four insulation that basically tells us how much the cost

of living is going up by? What the office of national statistics do is

work out what products are popular that we are buying. So the services

and products. And every so often, they will work out and change these

different products that are in their it is interesting to see what has

made it in and out. Now included in this list of thing things -- things

are soymilk. Things that are not included any more mental cigarettes,

a single drainer sink, a jostling, and alcopops. So that is

fascinating. It is an idea of how society changes. And the Daily

Telegraph is picked up on jigsaw is not being in there any more.

Apparently the over 50s are using them more than ever, so they have

made it in as well. I like a jigsaw. There are other things that in there

that we are not using any more, like the word whatshername. What do we

use now? What is her name? You're watching BBC Breakfast.

The aim of the medical profession is perhaps,

above all, to help people get better and save lives.

But when terminal illness makes that impossible,

care turns to making a patient feel as comfortable as can be.

A new film detailing the importance of the right approach during those

final days is being used to help educate staff and better

It's based on the experiences of one family.

He was 49 years old. He was seemingly fit in well. Life was

wonderful. We had been away on holiday, and they had a chest

infection. They can make a couple weeks then suddenly Seth got some

trouble breathing. It was May 2014, and Leslie's husband, Seth, was

diagnosed with pragmatic cancer. He died 33 days after his diagnosis.

Seth's dying wish was never fulfilled. He wanted to die at home.

We felt like it was a daily intervention. It just felt like no

one was really listening to us. Leslie put her frustrations and

anger down in writing. Her and Seth's story has now been adapted

into a short story, Homeward Bound. An intensive course of chemotherapy?

Chemotherapy? Happily give you this news when you are on your own? You

only go to die once. You wanted to be as good as it possibly can be. I

wanted to show with some compassion and sensitivity that dilemma that

all families find themselves in in that difficult time of life. The

film is about to be screened here in London. The idea is that it is then

used as an educational resource in hospices and across the NHS. Nobody

told me what was going on. Nobody spoke to Seth. Nobody had a

conversation with me about what I might need, what might help,

nothing. What was your reaction to the film you saw it? It made me cry.

We need to make sure we are doing it right. And we are getting better.

Because we only have one chance. I thing sometimes people presumed that

other people have the conversations. So other people think that they are

sure that other people have spoken to the family or explain things to

them. In 2009, the Department of Health funded the Dying Matters

coalition, established across England and Wales to improve and of

life care. Its mission is to help people talk more openly about death.

But many accept that more can be done, and Homeward

-- Seth's story can help. People understood what it meant to them.

How those last few days were so important, and how would a little

bit of thought, we may have been to do so in the differently. It is

about learning from that. We only die once. It should be like a birth.

Special and pressures. With good memories. Just to sustain those left

behind. Seth asked me to show the story because he was a selfless man.

That is a wonderful bit of television.

That was Lesley Goodburn speaking to Tim Muffett.

You're watching Breakfast. latest in half and now. Plenty on

our website at the usual address. Now though it's back

to Louise and Dan. Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. We will bring you all the latest

news and sport in a moment. But also on Breakfast this morning:

How one man's death became After 8:00am, we will speak

to the police officer in charge of investigating the man

on Saddleworth Moor. With a boom in under-25s taking

to the seas, Steph will be looking into whether cruises

are the new cool. And, as the Forces' Sweetheart

prepares to release a new album to mark her 100th birthday,

we will be joined by Dame Vera Lynn's daughter,

to hear about the memories But now, a summary of this

morning's main news: A major appeal has been launched

to help 16 million people facing starvation, in what is being

described as the worst famine The Disasters Emergency Committee,

which is made up of 13 UK aid agencies, says drought and conflict

are to blame for the crisis. Let's speak now to our Africa

correspondent Emmanuel Igunza, who is in Ethiopia's

capital, Addis Ababa. Good morning to you. Thank you so

much for talking to us. Give us a sense of what is going on there and

how much people need a. -- aid. Millions of people are facing

starvation. In South Sudan the UN has declared them in there. 1

million people are said to be in danger of starvation because of this

conflict which has been raging on since 2013. And across in Somalia,

an eminent famine. We are already hearing numbers about 100 have died

just in March. The UN are saying much more needs to be done to help

these people. Here in Ethiopia, also, millions of people, about 6

million, are in urgent need of assistance. They are facing yet

another drought after the El Nino phenomena affected most of the

country. Farmers have lost all their livestock. Many people are in urgent

need, and the UN says much needs to be done if these people are to be

saved. Thank you very much for talking to us. And a little bit

later we are expecting to speak to Disasters Emergency Committee chief

executive, to find out what exactly can be done to help all those

people. A rare glimpse into President

Trump's private finances has emerged, with the leak

of his 2005 tax return. Mr Trump refused to make

the documents public during his election campaign,

but the US TV network MSNBC has now In terms of what's on here,

let me give you the basics. Aside from the numbers being large,

these pages are straightforward. He paid - it looks like

$38 million in taxes. He took a big write-down of $103

million, more on that later. If you add up the lines for income,

he made more than $150 million Which simply means congratulations

or good luck, by the way. The release led to an angry response

from the White House, Cases of identity fraud in the UK

are at an all-time high, according to figures from the fraud

prevention organisation Cifas. The crime involves stealing

someone's personal information to obtain money,

products or services. New data suggests young people

are a growing target. A Conservative MP has been

questioned for six hours by police about the money he claimed

during his general election Craig MacKinlay beat the former

Ukip leader Nigel Farage He submitted expenses for ?15,000,

which is just under the legal limit. The people of the Netherlands

are voting in the first of three crucial elections in Europe this

year, which are being viewed as important tests of the popularity

of nationalist parties. The anti-Islam, anti-EU,

far-right leader Geert Wilders's party performed best in polls

leading up to the vote, but his support seems

to be slipping. The Dutch Prime Minister,

Mark Rutte has said the election is an opportunity for voters to beat

the wrong sort of populism. Large parts of the east coast

of the United States has been brought to a halt because of heavy

blizzards caused by storm Stella. Around 50 million people

across the country have been warned to expect further severe weather,

and the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has been forced

to postpone her trip to Washington We have heard yesterday they are

being told not to go anywhere, and we can see why. We will have the

travel and weather. The weather from Carol and about ten minutes' time,

and a crazy night for Leicester. A few weeks ago all the talk was about

Ranieri struggling in the league, no chance in the Champions League and

they can't stop winning. Have they got rid of Ranieri and is that what

they needed to do to find their form and refresh themselves, or have they

all downed tools to push Ranieri out the door? It depends on how cynical

you are about the world of football. I will leave you to make your own

mind up about that. Leicester City have joined Barcelona

and Bayern Munich in the quarter finals of the Champions League,

after beating Sevilla 2-0 on the night, going through 3-2

on aggregate, on one of the greatest For Leicester city, the power of

surprise is a renewable energy. It never seems to dream, regardless of

how often they use it. Wes Morgan came out time and time again to

score momentous goals. Less a captain in a field marshal,

Leicester were heading through. It was happening again. But beware,

this was Sevilla. Third in the lead, one goal would change at all. That

is how narrow Leicester's lead was. You could forgive the nerves, these

fans have seen their heroes become mortals. Losing the manager in the

process. Recently something has stirred. Albrighton took aim then

took off. Who could stay calm in this? Not Nasri. This was his last

touch of the night, a red card, Sevilla down to ten. Pivotal,

Schmeichel incredible. But with Leicester city perhaps we should

expect that. We have to be delighted with the

performance, and knocking Sevilla out tonight. Because their record in

Europe is there for everyone to see. But we are in there on merit, make

no mistake about that. And we might just be the surprise team, but we

know that the quality of teams in that is getting down to the real

serious business now. There is an enticing second-leg tie

for Manchester City tonight. They scored three times in 11

minutes, to beat Monaco 5-3, and manager Pep Guardiola says

they will be on the hunt Take the ball and attack as much as

possible, is the only way I know to beat this kind of team. So that's

why, when one team scores 124 goals, if you are thinking about just

defending 90 minutes because we won once, 5-3, you kill yourself.

Some encouraging news for Tottenham fans this morning.

The Sports Minister, Tracey Crouch, says the decision

by Muirfield Golf Club to admit women as members for the first time

The sport's governing body, the R, confirmed that Muirfield would now

be eligible to host an Open Championship again,

Over 80% of members voted in favour of the change.

I love that, Tracey Crouch saying it has been a long time coming. It has

been since the club was founded in 1744. That is a long time coming! It

is a bit of an understatement. It is a great golf course, good to see it

back in. 16 million people, including

hundreds of thousands of children, are on the brink of

starvation in East Africa. The 13 UK aid agencies which make up

the Disasters Emergency Committee have launched an urgent appeal

to help those caught up in what has been described as the worst famine

in a generation in the region. Saleh Saeed is DEC's chief

executive, and we can speak Thank you for talking to us about

this this morning. Louise just mentioned that the worst famine we

have seen for an awfully long time. Over the weekend the UN said it was

the worst crisis in 60 years. Does that reflect what you are seeing on

the ground in those countries? Yes, absolutely. It really is a race

against time. As you have mentioned, 16 million people facing starvation,

and sadly 800,000 people under the age of five will die of hunger if we

don't reach them very quickly. East Africa has seen terrible conflict

and also drought, it hasn't rained for over three years. And we are

seeing children, women, elderly, all slowly dying a death. Of starvation,

we would urge people to support the DEC, the Disasters Emergency

Committee, which reunites the 13 leading aid organisations, such as

Oxfam and the Red Cross. We are supplying water, food and nutrition

to hungry babies in order to try and save and protect their lives. The

countries we are particularly looking at here are South Sudan,

Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia. I don't want you to get too graphic about

this because of the time of the morning, but what sorts of examples

can you give us of things on the ground that are happening in those

countries? Sure, well, we are hearing stories of people having to

resort to eating leaves, because there is absolutely nothing to eat.

And we have seen before the horrific images of children who are barely

just skin and bones. This is the effect of famine, and that is why we

need to respond quickly. There really isn't time to delay. We all

have to respond urgently. We would ask people to go to our website, and

only ?5 will provide one child with a miracle nut paste, which is very

nutritious and will bring back one child from the brink of death. We

ask people to please act and not delay, in any way they can. How much

money will actually make a difference here? Some figures I have

seen quoted are vast, into the billions and billions of pounds. I

think it is important not to get lost in the figures. We are talking

about lots of money, the UN has quoted ?3.5 billion needed before

July in order to avert catastrophe, but really every small amount

counts. As I have mentioned, ?25 will actually save the life of a

child. So it is not really about raising billions and billions, it is

about reaching as many people as quickly as possible. And that is why

people need to act now and support the DEC. All the best with your

campaign. Thank you for coming and talking to us this morning. We will

have more on that later. Time for a look at this morning's weather.

Carol is at St James is Park, where it could he really warm. -- St

James's Park. Highs of 16 or 17 across parts of the Midlands and

East Wales, but spring has sprung. Look at this. A beautiful cherry

blossom, what a lovely scene. More cloud in the sky this morning and if

you are hanging around it is a chilly start as well. St James, of

course, St James's Park, is the oldest of the eight Royal Parks. The

forecast for today is actually not too bad at all. It is going to be

mostly dry, and it will be mild, as Lou Rutley said. This morning there

is quite a lot of cloud around, and some murky conditions -- rightly

said. Here we are looking at some drizzle, but through the day you

will notice the cloud will start to break, especially in some central

and eastern areas, and the sun will come out. It is not as windy day

across Scotland as it was yesterday but it is still going to be windy,

especially across the Northern Isles. There will be some patchy

rain coming in across the north-west. As we push into northern

England, it is the far north of northern England and the north-west

seeing a bit more cloud. To the east, in the shelter of the

Pennines, we should see some of that rake up through Yorkshire and

Lincolnshire to give us some sunshine. For East Anglia, Essex and

Kent, variable amounts of cloud, some bright spells and some

sunshine. The Midlands will have sunshine, 16 or 17, maybe a little

higher. Along the south Coast, brighter, sunny skies. We get to the

south-west and here on the coast there is one or two showers in the

afternoon. Not many but also a little bit of coastal murkiness. The

South and west coast seeing some patchy mist and fog. East Wales

getting away with a fine day, highs of 16 or 17. For Northern Ireland,

patchy rain first thing this morning but it will brighten up. We should

see some sunshine go through the course of the afternoon, here and

there. Through the evening and overnight we hang onto a lot of

cloud and murkiness in the west, but at the same time we also have some

sea fog, some hill fog, and some low cloud coming into the eastern side

of the in the channel, and across parts of the south-east of England,

eastern England and Central parts of England as well. Tomorrow that will

clear, allowing much of England and Wales are dry and bright start to

the day with some sunshine. We have a weather front coming in across

Northern Ireland and Scotland, which will introduce some rain. That will

get into northern England and north Wales by the time to get the

mid-afternoon. Behind that we will see some sunshine and showers, some

wintry in the hills, and the wind strengthening again across the far

north of Scotland, but not as strong as they were yesterday. Then, as we

head on into Friday, well, we do have some rain coming our way. Now,

this is what is left of storm Stella, which has been affecting the

North States of America. It has been modified by the Atlantic, splitting

into Mac and it is not falling as cold air on our shores -- splitting

in two. It will have down into the south-east, and the second batch

comes in overnight, nothing like they have had in the United States.

We will show you some more pictures from Storm Stella in America later

on in the programme. Driverless vehicles are already

on the road in America and Asia - and they're poised to take

to the streets here too. But a new report from the Lord's

Science and Technology Committee Good morning to you both. Lots of

people analysing what this could mean for the UK rose. Good morning

everybody. There is a lot of opportunity

for Britain when it comes to driverless vehicles -

but the House of Lords report has The report also suggested there is

too much focus on the private driverless clouds and not enough on

things such as the public transport commercial vehicle opportunities. --

driverless cars. Can you just explain to me what we mean by

driverless cars? This is next hour, isn't it? I think that is a valid

point, that there are levels of automation already out there. We can

buy vehicles right now that can park themselves. But within autonomy,

there are different levels. So the ultimate aim is to have a vehicle

that does not have the steering wheel, potentially, or does not have

the need for you to be sitting on a driving. What we are looking to

right now is where you can be in a situation where you are not fully

driving, but ready to take control. It is about understanding the steps

that are needed to get to all the points that you raise, to get to

where we understand what is absolutely safe. And that goes back

to testing. Think they came out in the report as well. The need for

testing on real roads and in real environments to make sure that we

fully understand this they take this it -- this fantastic technology and

how will work in the real world. That is key. As we said at the

beginning of this, this is something where the technologies are ready out

there and happening in other countries. When are we likely to see

it here, and in what form? Because it probably won't be a driverless

cars at is the first thing we see, but it could be perhaps driverless

lorries, and other vehicles. Tell us about that. The timeline is a big

question. People say when and I think what we are seeing from the

car industry is that 2020 one is where we will see some diplomas.

That is not far away. That is just in our present time horizon. --

2021. And that is or is getting closer. So it is really important

that this report came out. -- we will see some deployments. There is

a lot of testing under way at the moment. Atkins is doing plenty on

this, as are other organisations, on how all these bits will work

together, what is the value of it and so on. That is really important,

as well. It is not just about technology, but about the

individuals, and do they feel comfortable, and what do they want?

And can we get to that magnificent safety case of reducing the 90% of

accidents that are caused by human error and getting to a situation

where we don't have that awful statistic. So if we get this test

and we get to a point where we feel like it is safe, how will it be of

limited? Will be guessed at to see a few of them on the roads? I think

what you will get is a blend. One mean is that you will have different

technologies are different levels of maturity. We need to make sure that

we couple in what has been deployed. I think that private cars are going

to have a level of autonomy. There will be different levels across

different modes of transport. And a big it is important to take a step

back a little bit and say that driverless cars it is one part of

the jigsaw. And that jigsaw is basically about getting from A to B

as it comfortable as possible. People consume transport over many

modes. From our sites, and from the work that we do at Atkins, it is

exciting. To be at the forefront of that gets us out of bed in the

morning. Is that mixture of excitement. Yes. Fear but also

showing its age. I think we have been overwhelmed by the scalable we

have here. We have seven acres of route. They just keeping on top of

building is sold, we got to a point where, actually, we needed to do

something, and major intervention, like a project that we are working

on now. Really just to secure the house's future. This is the biggest

restoration in the National Trust's history, or conducted under the

And talking to those conservators earlier, they were telling me the

incredible length they go to. So there is furniture that looks as if

it is to be re- upholstered, they will not. They will try to preserve

it, can serve it, so if there is a frame that was posted, but at a

materials as possible. They will even use the exact same holes as the

first pulse as would have used on that historic furniture so long ago.

16 million people face starvation in East Africa,

as a major fundraising campaign is launched to help them.

Drought and conflict are being blamed for the crisis,

which is being called the worst famine in a generation.

the weather for us this morning. Good morning. It is beautiful in St

James's Park, quite a bit of cloud around, it is trying to break with

some blue sky is coming through and that is more or less forecast for

most of us. A cloudy start the some of us, murky as well but it will

brighten up with some sunshine, more especially in Central and eastern

areas. I will have more in 15 minutes.

First, our main story: A major appeal has been launched to help 16

million people facing starvation, in what is being described

as the worst famine in a generation in East Africa.

The Disasters Emergency Committee, which is made up of 13 UK aid

agencies, says drought and conflict are to blame for the crisis,

which has left tens of thousands of children at risk

The United Nations says the crisis in the four affected countries,

Nigeria, South Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, is the worst

Our diplomatic correspondent James Landale has more.

The Disasters Emergency Committee says drought and conflict has left

millions in East Africa in immediate need of food,

Across South Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia, it says 60

million people don't know when they are next going to eat.

More than 800,000 children are severely malnourished,

The 13 aid agencies that make up the Disasters Emergency Committee

are already on the ground, delivering clean drinking water

But they are now appealing to the public for funds,

so they can do even more to help these people.

It really is a race against time. As you have mentioned, 16 million

people facing starvation and sadly 800,000 children under the age of

five will die of hunger if we don't reach them very, very quickly. East

Africa has seen terrible conflict, and also drought. It hasn't rained

for over three years, and we are seeing children, women, elderly, all

slowly dying. The Government has already promised

?200 million in emergency aid for South Sudan and Somalia,

and the International Development Secretary, Priti Patel,

said her department would match the first ?5 million donated

by the public in the new appeal. She also urged other countries

to follow Britain's lead, before the crisis became

what she called a stain The world, she said,

cannot afford to wait. A rare glimpse into President

Trump's private finances has emerged, with the leak

of his 2005 tax return. Mr Trump refused to make

the documents public during his election campaign,

but the US TV network MSNBC has now It reveals that Mr Trump

paid $38 million in tax, on an income of more

than $150 million. In terms of what's on here,

let me give you the basics. Aside from the numbers being large,

these pages are straightforward. He paid - it looks like

$38 million in taxes. He took a big write-down of $103

million, more on that later. If you add up the lines for income,

he made more than $150 million And that means congratulations, or

good luck. The release led to an angry response

from the White House, Identity fraud is at an all-time

high in the UK, with more young That is according to new data

analysed by the fraud Identity fraud involves criminals

using someone's personal information to obtain money,

products or services. Our home affairs correspondent

Danny Shaw reports. Stolen identity - civil servant

Luke Croydon was the victim of one His name, address, date of birth

and banking details were obtained by a thief who pinched

post from his letterbox. Armed with the information,

the fraudster applied for a bank card, and then used it to go

on a spending spree. When you first find out

that it's happened, And then you get very worried,

because you wonder what else they might have done

with that personal detail. If it is only opening bank accounts,

that is one thing, but you wonder Have they signed up to websites,

have they got passport applications? So it is a very

troubling experience. According to the fraud

prevention service Cifas, there were almost 173,000 cases

of identity fraud last year, The number of victims aged

under-21 increased by more than a third, with the Midlands

and the north-east of England registering the highest identity

fraud increases, year-on-year. Cifas has produced a film warning

people to be careful about how much information they reveal

in public and online. Fraudsters are adept

at exploiting information posted It advises people to use passwords,

privacy settings and antivirus software on their computers,

and to shred important paper A Conservative MP has been

winter is not over yet. The people of the Netherlands

are voting in the first of three crucial elections in Europe this

year, which are being viewed as important tests of the popularity

of nationalist parties. The anti-Islam, anti-EU,

far-right leader Geert Wilder's party performed best in polls

leading up to the vote, but his support seems

to be slipping. Our Europe correspondent

Anna Holligan is in The Hague much of Europe will be keeping a

close eye on what happens in the Netherlands. Yes, this is being seen

as the first real test of the populace is' ability to challenge

those establishment parties since Brexit and before the votes in front

and Germany. We are here in The Hague, where Geert Wilders, leader

of the freedom party, is expected to be casting his vote in 45 minutes'

time. We have been covering this, but you might forget there are

actually a record 28 parties competing in these elections. So

many parties in this democracy, reports this paper. In the

Telegraph, they say the Labour Party must fight fear, this is a campaign

which has been dominated by questions of immigration,

integration, the Dutch identity. And then finally, the front page of this

newspaper, go and vote it says, projecting six front pages they the

six main party leaders. Even though Geert Wilders may not make up the

government, other parties have said they refused to work with him

because of his very extreme views. He has succeeded already in shaping

the whole nature of this debate, to focus on those kinds of issues, of

immigration, Islam, and the future of the EU. Thank you very much for

that this morning. We will have plenty more on that over the course

of the day. You can follow that on the BBC News Channel. You have

probably seen this at some stage. It is the news interview that

everyone has been talking about. Last week, Professor Robert Kelly's

family became an internet sensation when his children crashed his

appearance on BBC News. Well, they agreed to come

back on the BBC to talk Our correspondent

Sangita Myska has more. Professor Robert Kelly,

an expert on South Korea, offering expert analysis

of global events. But it was the unexpected

entrance of his daughter, Marion, who was to create

a global event of its own. I think one of your

children's just walked in. To avoid being upstaged,

the Professor tried a gentle push. Only for Marion's brother

to enter on wheels. Was he hoping that, just perhaps,

no-one had noticed after all? A perfectly timed slam of the door

ensured this video went viral. Professor Kelly and his family

were invited back onto live BBC television, only for Marion to once

again steal the limelight. So, in spite of it all,

did they find it as funny as we did? And we watched it multiple times,

too, and our families have watched and everybody we know seems to think

it's pretty hysterical. So yeah, we understand why

people find it enjoyable, catching a regular family

off-guard, and stuff, so yes. Just a regular family,

whose off-guard moments have become So good, that video. And they are in

high demand as well. This morning the family gave a press

conference in South Korea, and Marion looked like

she was right at home. This time with a lollipop in her

mouth throughout the entire press conference.

A Royal Marine who shot and killed an injured Taliban fighter

in Afghanistan is expected to find out today whether his appeal

against a murder conviction has been successful.

Sergeant Alexander Blackman was serving in Helmand Province in 2011.

The incident was filmed on a body camera.

In November 2013, he was found guilty of murder, and later

sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of ten years.

However, an appeal was granted after new psychiatric evidence found

that, at the time of the killing, Sergeant Blackman was suffering

from a mental illness triggered by his experience in Helmand.

Today, five judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court

in London will decide whether to overturn that

We can speak now to military defence lawyer Bob Scott.

Good morning to you. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. Good

morning. Let's talk about this new psychiatric evidence. It had not

been looked at in the original trial. Do you think that could be

the key difference here? Yes, indeed. It could allow the defence

to suggest that the defendant was not operating in his normal mind,

because of the pressure of the activities at the time. OK, just

tell us a little bit about the disorder itself. It is called

adjustment disorder. What do you know about it and how might it make

a difference? It may make a difference because it would suggest

that he couldn't make normal, rational judgements, that normal

people would expect someone to make. OK. So now, he is going to hear his

appeal. How important is it that people are able to use and look at

whether or not someone is suffering from a mental illness at the time of

an incident? Well, it is very important, because it makes the

difference between a conviction for murder, or indeed, a conviction for

manslaughter, for which the sentence can be quite different. OK. And why

would it not have been used in the first trial? Well, that principally

is a decision for the prosecution, to decide whether or not to put

manslaughter on the indictment as an alternative. But it could be raised,

indeed, by the board, which in a court martial is the equivalent of a

jury, who might decide that they are not content that a murder conviction

is upheld. They might wish to convicted for manslaughter, and will

ask the judge for directions in that case. And let's just talk in general

terms, if we could, how common is it that mental health conditions are

involved in similar cases with regard to service personnel? In

relation to a variety of military cases, there is an upsurge, if you

will, of cases of PTSD stemming from active service, which is used as a

potential defence for a lot of military personnel facing various

charges. That is to be expected. OK, you talk about this upsurge. Are the

implications, whichever way it goes, this today, are the implications for

future military cases? Well, each case is judged on its own merits,

but clearly defence practitioners, and indeed prosecutors, will

consider such matters, I would have thought, with a greater attention to

detail, in terms of that possible defence. Thank you very much for

talking to us here on Breakfast. It's 7:17 and you're watching

eight Royal parks in the capital. The forecast for all of us today is

generally a cloudy one. It is a murky stuff is on us, but it will

brighten up. But the most, it will be dry and also mild. The highest

averages today are likely to be across is Wales and the Midlands,

reaching 16, 17, or higher. So today, generally, where we have all

that cloud in the central and eastern parts of the country, you

will start to notice wells developed. We'll start this is

murky conditions will hold on across south-west England and Wales on the

coast. Scotland, not as Windies yesterday, but later, the wind will

pick up and we will start this season patchy rain north-west. As we

move into north-west England and the far northern England, here, too, a

cloudy start. But it through the Pennines in the east, down towards

Kent, we are looking at some sunny spells. The Midlands will brighten

up nicely with some sunshine. And high temperatures. As we get to the

south-west, we are looking again at a fairly cloudy start, but some

bright spells. One or two showers across the coast. Wales will hold

onto is a murky conditions. A better cloud at times, too, that is Wales

will have a different story. For them, sunshine and 16 or 17 degrees

as a high. Patchy rain across Northern Ireland this morning, but

it will brighten up and dry up. Some cloud around later. Through this

evening at overnight, where we have clearer skies, you will tend to find

the cloud will build. Still murky across the north and north-west. And

then we have some sea fog, hill fog, and low fog across the English

Channel and into the south-east, Midlands, and some parts of eastern

England. That will tend to fade this morning. Then it will be a lovely

bright start across much of England and Wales. Through Scotland and

Northern Ireland, the weather front coming your way is producing

southwards, taking its rain with it. Get into northern England and north

Wales by mid-afternoon. Line-out, we see sunshine and showers. Wintry on

the hills. Possibly sleet at lower levels. The wind will strengthen

again across the Northern Isles. Not as much as yesterday. Until Friday,

we have rain coming our way. This is what is left of Storm Stella. That

has been affecting the naughty states of America. As that comes

across the Atlantic in a jetstream, it will modify it, and will not fall

into cold air like it did in the states. It will come to us as rain,

coming in and pushing down to the south-east. A second oath that on

Friday the same thing. That will lead to an unsettled weekend. That

make a -- that will make a second. Let me tell you what is going on in

the business world. Lots of results coming in this morning.

EON, the owner of fast fashion chain Zara

has results out, and they're pretty good again.

Sales at Inditex jumped last year to ?20 billion globally,

helped by new store openings in 56 countries and online growth.

The fastest growing sector of the business, though,

was the chain's homeware department, Zara Home.

The firm says it is because of an increasing gust associated with

delivering UK energy policy and other expenses. The firm says these

are out of its control. We have also got results in from Zara. Their

results are out and say they are pretty good again. Sales jumped last

year to ?20 billion globally. This was helped by new store openings and

56 countries and online growth as well. It is the fastest-growing

sector of the business. Zara Home sought growth of 15%. Two different

stories, one from Zara and one from EON. And jigsaws and so milk of

and services that we readily buy to try and work out the inflation

figures. So falling out of the basket this time are alcopops,

mental cigarettes, and non- smartphone mobiles. It is

interesting to see what goes in and out of that basket. Jigsaws are in

because the over 50s enjoy more jigsaws, now. Jese make staying in,

drinking gin, and the jigsaws. Not drinking it with soy milk, though.

which is just under the legal limit. The people of the Netherlands

are voting in the first of three crucial elections in Europe this

year, which are being viewed as important tests of the popularity

of nationalist parties. The anti-Islam, anti-EU,

far-right leader Geert Wilders's party performed best in polls

leading up to the vote, but his support seems

to be slipping. The Dutch Prime Minister,

Mark Rutte, has said the election is an opportunity for voters to beat

the wrong sort of populism. Large parts of the east coast

of the United States has been brought to a halt because of heavy

blizzards caused by storm Stella. Around 50 million people

across the country have been warned to expect further severe weather,

and the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has been forced

to postpone her trip to Washington Was I booting you that? I am fine,

you just stepped on my foot! Does not much space here. I know, it is

fine! I didn't mean to extend sideways. Good morning. Talking

about Leicester city, and that remarkable night. What a night. But

at that picture. Kasper Schmeichel saving another penalty, and it is so

funny how quickly the woes of the last few weeks can be forgotten,

aiming for three back-to-back wins in the Premier league to lift them

further from relegation zone. You will remember that just as Ranieri

was fired the team dropped into the relegation zone of the Premier

league. Now they are into the quarterfinals of the Champions

League and the stands were rocking and singing and chanting. It was

like last season all over again. It raises questions about where that

effort was when Ranieri was there. Is a close the new manager is doing

an amazing job or did the players want Ranieri out? It would be good

to set them all down and say come on, guys, tell us the truth.

Leicester City have joined Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the quarter

finals of the Champions League, after beating Sevilla 2-0

on the night, going through 3-2 on aggregate, on one of the greatest

For Leicester city, the power of surprise is a renewable energy.

It never seems to drain, regardless of how often they use it.

Wes Morgan came out, time and time again,

to score momentous goals, less a captain than a field marshal.

But beware, this was Sevilla, third in the League.

That is how narrow Leicester's lead was.

These fans have seen their heroes become mortals, losing the manager

Marc Albrighton took aim, then took off.

This was his last touch of the night, a red card,

But, with Leicester City, perhaps we should expect that.

We have to be delighted with the performance,

and knocking Sevilla out tonight, because their record in Europe

But we are in there on merit, make no mistake about that.

And we might just be the surprise team, but we know that the quality

of teams in there is getting down to the real serious business now.

There is an enticing second-leg tie for Manchester City tonight.

They scored three times in 11 minutes, to beat Monaco 5-3,

and manager Pep Guardiola says they will be on the hunt

Take the ball, and attack as much as possible,

is the only way I know to beat this kind of team.

So that's why, when one team scores 124 goals,

Some encouraging news for Tottenham fans this morning.

Harry Kane has damaged ankle ligaments, but it is not as serious

The England striker was injured early in the FA Cup quarter-final

victory against Millwall on Sunday, but he could be fit for the Wembley

semi-final against Chelsea next month.

The Football Association have charged Manchester United

with failing to control their players, when Ander Herrera

was sent off during Monday's FA Cup quarter-final at Chelsea.

United didn't get back to Manchester until 4:00am after that match,

because their plane never turned up at Heathrow,

so they had to get on the team coach all the way home.

The Sports Minister, Tracey Crouch, says the decision

by Muirfield Golf Club to admit women as members for the first time

The sport's governing body, the R, confirmed that Muirfield would now

be eligible to host an Open Championship again,

Over 80% of members voted in favour of the change.

Again, a bit of a controversial vote. We were talking about whether

the Leicester players downed tools or whether they were rejuvenated

under Craig Shakespeare. It is a similar reaction to the Muirfield

vote, whether they only voted to accept women so they could be back

on the tour. When you write a will,

you would expect your wishes But a judgement is expected today

at the Supreme Court which experts say could make it easier

for adult children to She left all her money

to three animal charities, the RSPCA, RSPB and Blue Cross,

but explicitly excluded After a long court battle,

her daughter, Heather Ilott, successfully challenged

the decision, and was awarded But the animal charities that had

been due to inherit appealed to the Supreme Court,

and that decision is due today. So what does this mean

for the rest of us? Let's find out from Marilyn Stowe,

who is an independent family lawyer. We are also joined by Don Day,

who has chosen to leave his entire We will talk to you in a moment.

Good morning to you both. Just explain to us this case. It has gone

backwards and forwards in court and this is really taking it right down

to the wire, now, isn't it? Ten years, it has been ongoing for ten

years. And the inheritance provision for family and dependents act is the

relevant law, so it is 40 years old, and this is the first time it has

ever got to the Supreme Court. And what happens with that law is that

where reasonable financial provision has not been made by a will or by

intestacy, to a very small category of people, for example a spouse or

partner or child, or somebody who is being maintained as a child, then

they can apply to the court for reasonable financial provision. And

what has happened with this daughter is, she is entitled to maintenance.

And the Supreme Court are going to decide today what that maintenance

level should be, how it should be assessed, and what the entitlement

to the charity is. Because that is to the lady who died, Mrs Jackson,

that is what she actually wanted to happen to her estate, and how the

charities should be treated. And it is also going to look at this issue

where they are estranged. Does estrangement impact? So there are

all sorts of technical areas, but it is the first time it has got to the

Supreme Court, so it is really very interesting, and I think a lot of

lawyers will be able to give much more informed advice to a client who

doesn't want to have a child inherit his or her estate. Let's find out

about Don's circumstances. I am sure you be interested in hearing this as

well. When did you decide to leave your estate to charity rather than

the rest of your well, my wife had been in a care home with Alzheimer's

for the last five years, before she died last year. And during one of

her more lucid moments, we decided that, because of her mother's

involvement with Alzheimer's some 25 years ago that we would like to make

a nice gesture to the Alzheimer's Society for their help and

assistance, and kindness that they had provided to me and my wife is a

family. And we talked with the legacy provider at the Alzheimer

Society, who was most helpful in providing all the necessary

documentation that was necessary, for us to make sure that our wishes

were carried out. This meant, really, that we had to do a signed

affidavit about our wishes, as well as our will. I had to go to the

doctor and have a certificate from him to say that in fact, while I was

making this, I was of sound mind, which I hope I was, and sometimes

you doubt whether the professionals are right under these circumstances!

But anyway, we did that, and everything seemed to be now geared

up for my estate to go to the Alzheimer 's, which I am sure will

be of some benefit for them in their research towards conquering or

helping to conquer this very dreadful, and indeed, debasing

disease that we are having to live with these days. And I will come

back to Marilyn about what Don said, and you have clearly gone out of

your way to make sure that you will can't be changed, haven't you? I

have indeed, yes. I have taken a lot of advice, because I was aware that

these things could be challenged, and that there could be deeds of

variation, and so on and so forth, and I hope I have covered all the

little bits and pieces that were necessary. OK. Marilyn, very

interesting to hear that, because presumably, will it all depends what

happens in this case? So many people will be writing wills thinking that

is what is going to happen, won't they? Not every application is bound

to succeed. There was a lady who made an application under the

inheritance act last year, as an adult child, and the court found

that she didn't need reasonable financial provision, because she

already was provided for. So it is not bound to succeed. But what I

think should help here is how the court will treat charities. If you

want to leave money to a charity, a charity doesn't have needs, and the

court, when it makes its decision, has to consider the needs of all the

beneficiaries. So how will they treat the charity, how will they

treat the person who is coming before it say I am entitled to

reasonable financial provision? You can't oust the law, you can do your

best, but you can't oust it and you can't prevent that application being

made. But what will happen today is clearer guidance, I think, as to how

things will go forward from there. Thank you very much indeed for your

time. And thanks for all your comments on this as well. We will

get them all together and maybe read some of them a little bit later on.

There are so many people getting in contact who have either made a will,

are thinking about making a will, and how this might affect them as

well. It's time to take

a look at the weather. Carol's enjoying the sunshine at

St James's park for us this morning. Good morning. There is an sunshine

here in London this morning after a cloudy start. I am in St James's

Park in London. It is the oldest of the eight Royal parks in the

capital. And it started life as a watery march and meadow. And then

Henry VIII, King Henry VIII, acquired it. He built St James's

Palace in it. That is in that direction. But I want to show you

this direction. Isn't this stunning? A beautiful cherry blossom. Sun

coming out and some nice blue skies. The forecast for the UK as a whole

is a rather good one. Mostly dry, if you like it like that. If you don't,

rain coming soon. Also mild. We start of this morning was a murky

conditions, particularly south of the M4 corridor in towards the

south-west. As we go through the day, the cloud will break and there

will be some sunshine, especially in central and eastern parts of the UK.

In the west, more cloud. Some coastal fog as an patchy light rain

and drizzle in the north-west of Scotland. In Scotland, not as windy

as yesterday. The wind will strengthen during the day. Gigli in

the far north. Away from the patchy rain in the west, we are looking at

a largely dry day with bright or sunny skies. -- especially in the

far north. Any finals of England and west, windy. Each of the Pennines,

some sunshine. The Midlands, a lovely afternoon for them. The

temperatures up to 16 or 17 degrees. South coast, some sunshine.

South-west, a little more cloud. Still some brown spells. Murky

conditions for the coast, with the jail. South-west Wales on the coast

will hang on to is a murky conditions. Quite a lot of cloud

across Wales. Temperatures are 16 or 17 and the sun. The Northern

Ireland, cloudy with some bright spells developing through the

afternoon. Through the evening and overnight period, it will be still

fairly cloudy in the northern west. Clear skies by day. The cloud will

feel in and it will be murky to that side of the English Channel. Hill

fog, low-level fog, so that Italy to be aware of tomorrow morning. But

that will tend to clear. Tomorrow for England and Wales, a fine start,

with some sunshine. At a weather front coming in across Northern

Ireland Scotland will sink south, taking rain weathered into northern

England, north Wales, by the afternoon. Find it, so shattered

showers in the hills, but possibly sleet at low levels. The wind will

strengthen again across the far north of Scotland into the Northern

Ireland. Heading into Friday, we are going to see the remnants of Storm

Stella. But of course, that storm will be hugely modified by the

Atlantic ocean. As it comes our way, it is not falling on cold services

or cold air. -- surfaces. We will have another dose of this overnight

on Friday. -- of the rain. So before everybody in the forecast for the

next few Cruise holidays - bingo and bowls

and just for the old? Or a fantastic way to see

the world, whatever your age? Steph is taking a look

at the industry this morning to find out why it's trying to get more

young people on board. The average age of people on cruises

is falling. Some might be shocked about. Good morning everyone. It is

one of the most popular ways to get away for Brits. 1.9 billion of us

took a cruising holiday last year. That is according to official

figures out this morning. The average age of passengers on board

is 55, which is a figure that has been falling. The industry was to

change its image and get more young people on board. So what are they

doing? I am joined now by Giles Hawke from the Cosmos Cruise

company. Talk is right. Do you think the cruise industry has a poorer

images? -- image. Do people just think it is boring and predictable?

I think it is an image problem that is more historic than current. The

old image of the overfed, newlywed, and nearly damp. That is changing

and rapidly. The introduction of a lot of new ships over the last 15 or

20 years, and the development of what you can do on a cruise ship has

made a big difference. I think cruise lines working with famous

brands and celebrities to make it more attractive to a wider audience

is helping. Due to make you think that is why the average age is

falling? Yes. I think there is a wider choice. Cruising is no longer

all about very fancy entertainment Web people are in feathers and

tiaras. It is not all about black ties and fancy frocks. That still

exist, and some of it, but it is actually democratising cruises. On

that point of affordability, you actually hear people say that if

they wind the lottery, there will go on a Caribbean cruise or something.

It seems more aspirational than a realistic annual holiday. Tell us

about the coast will stop it is probably cheaper to go on a cruise

now than 20 years ago. There is more available. There is then 50% growth

in the past few years. Over the next ten years, we will see an increase

of 30% again. There will be more ships available and beds available.

For a family of four, you could sell at UK on a week's cruise to the west

Mediterranean, and Bolelli do that front ?2000. When you think of

everything included, the value for muggy is absolutely phenomenal. In

terms of the future, where do you see growth coming from. You would

like to get more young people on board and change the image, how will

you do that? A whole range of things. Rizzo, a river cruising --

river cruising is increasing. They are putting bikes on board to get

people involved onshore excursions. You can go around a river ride in a

Norwegian fjords. You can go hiking Nick in Alaska. A lot of it is about

making what you can do the ship more attractive. On board, there are

cruise to work with celebrity chefs. The third offering is changing. On

board, you have things like iceskating ranks, climbing walls,

slow brightness, cookery schools, famous DJs. So this is changing

drastically. They give are talking to us about that. And thank you to

every music and pictures. Very jealous. People are visiting them

through. People got to amazing places. I have never been on a

cruise. Have you? Not yet. I was on a container ship for ten years. That

is not really a cruise. No entertainment. That is another

story. Right now, we have to go to a grand historic mansion that was

literally fit for a king. But it had crumbling walls, ceilings falling

in, and Knole House needs some TLC. It has become the biggest task the

National Trust is undertaken. It looks rather spooky there.

Yes. It is the location where Henry VIII came to hunt deer. This is the

building. He sees this in the reformation from the Archbishop of

Canterbury. There are hundreds of years of history within these walls,

behind these walls, surrounding this estate. And the challenge, really,

is trying to, if you like, roll back the years, or Stoccos years taking

their toll on his magnificent historic building and the treasures

it contains. -- ought to stop the years taking their toll. We took a

look around inside. -- or to stop the years

taking their toll. With almost six centuries

of history, Knole House is one of the oldest, grandest,

and most important houses This is the great staircase

at Knole, created by Thomas Attwood in the 17th-century and decorated

by craftsmen from the King's Works. I think we have been overwhelmed

by the scale of what we have here. Just keeping on top

of the maintenance of that is And because the building is old,

we got to a point where, actually, we needed to do something,

a major intervention, like a project that we are working

on now, really to secure This is the biggest restoration

in the National Trust's history, all conducted under the watchful

gaze of the Sackville family, powerful and influential

in the 17th-century Royal Court, their descendants live here to this

day, a living link to the past. The inventory here is staggering,

so state-of-the-art conservation studio will, with painstaking

patience, work to protect This is the famous Knole Sofa,

made anywhere between 1625 and 1660. As with everything here
